givan:
Please this project shouldn't be sited anywhere 1000 nautical miles away from the east. Itu isn't a good choice. Mr Buhari please site your Nuclear project either around the Saraha states or 1000 nautical mile into the Atlantic.

You need a location with regular flow of water to cool the nuclear reactors.

GogetterMD:
Issues
1- is it just a Nigerian situation or why are all contracts in Nigeria overly inflated? $20billion USD for just 4800 MW of electricity?
2- I am afraid for Maintenance culture here. Nigerians can know how to vandalize and steal anything, electricity cables, transformer parts, blow up gas pipelines etc. Their ignorance won't make them realise the importance of staying away from a nuclear power plant. Even Japan is shutting down all her nuclear reactors after the calamity that came last decade
I'ld like to see the thugs vandalize a nuclear reactor, they' ll explain to God what happened to their vaporised body.
Politics › When You Kill 10 Million Africans You Aren’t Called ‘hitler’ by mickyeddi(op): 8:19am On Jun 16, 2015
Take a look at this picture. Do you know who it is? Most of us haven’t heard of him, though we should have.

When you see his face or hear his name you should get as sick in your stomach as when you read about Mussolini or Hitler or see one of their pictures. You see, he killed over 10 million people in the Congo.

His name is King Leopold II of Belgium.

He “owned” the Congo during his reign as the constitutional monarch of Belgium. After several failed colonial attempts in Asia and Africa, he settled on the Congo. He “bought” it and enslaved its people, turning the entire country into his own personal slave plantation.

[img]http://2.bp..com/-qbN6C-5Ry9A/VXqyHib--vI/AAAAAAAAXlk/1cGl5g-GNio/s640/King-Leopold-II.jpg[/img]

He disguised his business transactions as “philanthropic” and “scientific” efforts under the banner of the International African Society. He used their enslaved labor to extract Congolese resources and services. His reign was enforced through work camps, body mutilations, torture, executions, and his own private army.

Most of us aren’t taught about him in school. We don’t hear about him in the media. He’s not part of the widely-repeated narrative of oppression (which includes things like the Holocaust during World War II).

He’s part of a long history of colonialism, imperialism, slavery, and genocide in Africa that would clash with the social construction of a white supremacist narrative in our schools. It doesn’t fit neatly into school curriculums in a capitalist society.

Making overtly racist remarks is (sometimes) frowned upon in ‘polite’ society; but it’s quite fine not to talk about genocide in Africa perpetrated by European capitalist monarchs.1

Mark Twain wrote a satire about Leopold called “King Leopold’s Soliloquy; A Defense of His Congo Rule”, where he mocked the King’s defense of his reign of terror, largely through Leopold’s own words.

It’s an easy read at 49 pages and Mark Twain is a popular author in American public schools. But like most political authors, we will often read some of their least political writings or read them without learning why the author wrote them in the first place.

Orwell’s Animal Farm, for example, serves to reinforce American anti-socialist propaganda about how egalitarian societies are doomed to turn into their dystopian opposites.

But Orwell was an anti-capitalist revolutionary of a different kind — a supporter of working class democracy from below — and that is never pointed out. We can read about Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer, but “King Leopold’s Soliloquy” isn’t on the reading list. This isn’t by accident.

Reading lists are created by boards of education in order to prepare students to follow orders and endure boredom. From the point of view of the Department of Education, Africans have no history.

When we learn about Africa, we learn about a caricatured Egypt, about the HIV epidemic (but never its causes), about the surface level effects of the slave trade, and maybe about South African Apartheid (the effects of which, we are taught, are now long, long over).

We also see lots of pictures of starving children on Christian Ministry commercials, we see safaris on animal shows, and we see pictures of deserts in films and movies. But we don’t learn about the Great African War or Leopold’s Reign of Terror during the Congolese Genocide.

Nor do we learn about what the United States has done in Iraq and Afghanistan, killing millions of people through bombs, sanctions, disease, and starvation. Body counts are important. And the United States Government doesn’t count Afghan, Iraqi, or Congolese people.

Though the Congolese Genocide isn’t included on Wikipedia’s “Genocides in History” page, it does mention the Congo.

What’s now called the Democratic Republic of the Congo is listed in reference to the Second Congo War (also called Africa’s World War and the Great War of Africa), where both sides of the regional conflict hunted down Bambenga people — a regional ethnic group — and enslaved and cannibalized them.

Cannibalism and slavery are horrendous evils which must be entered into history for sure, but I couldn’t help thinking whose interests were served when the only mention of the Congo on the page was in reference to regional incidents where a tiny minority of people in Africa were eating each other (completely devoid of the conditions which created the conflict, and the people and institutions who are responsible for those conditions).

Stories which support the white supremacist narrative about the subhumanness of people in Africa are allowed to enter the records of history.

The white guy who turned the Congo into his own personal part-plantation, part-concentration camp, part-Christian ministry — and killed 10 to 15 million Congolese people in the process — doesn’t make the cut.2

You see, when you kill ten million Africans, you aren’t called ‘Hitler’. That is, your name doesn’t come to symbolize the living incarnation of evil. Your name and your picture don’t produce fear, hatred, and sorrow. Your victims aren’t talked about and your name isn’t remembered.

Leopold was just one of thousands of things that helped construct white supremacy as both an ideological narrative and material reality. I don’t pretend that he was the source of all evil in the Congo. He had generals, and foot soldiers, and managers who did his bidding and enforced his laws. He was at the head of a system.

But that doesn’t negate the need to talk about the individuals who are symbolic of the system. But we don’t even get that.

And since it isn’t talked about, what capitalism did to Africa, all the privileges that rich white people gained from the Congolese genocide, remain hidden. The victims of imperialism are made, like they usually are, invisible.

Christianity Etc › Top 10 Most Mysterious Secret Societies by mickyeddi(op): 8:10am On Jun 16, 2015

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DIW1-B7yMI


10. Blackwater: This isn’t so much a secret society, but rather a private army. Actually a corporate army that is, publicly funded, but privately accountable. They offer mercenary services including infantry, navy and police enforcement to whoever will pay their price.

Since they’re not a government organization, they are frequently called in to help settle disputes that are too secretive or distasteful for public services to be involved with, like policing the survivors of Hurricane Katrina.

9. The Order of the Skull & Bones: It’s one of those upper crust Ivy League student societies dedicated to manipulating the next generation of the power elite.

Oh great, another one. Is anything real anymore? They mockingly refuse membership to all without family names like Rockefeller, Vanderbilt and Bush. Yeah, those Bushes.

[img]http://1.bp..com/-YVZgAcjwnQs/VX8F47qO46I/AAAAAAAAXqM/uqcF2I0VOpY/s640/Boris-Rasin-Skull-and-Bones.jpg[/img]

8. The Freemasons: Cloaked in secrecy, brothers of this fraternal organization are not allowed to invite new members, nor share any of their secret handshakes, passwords and strange rituals they have to perform, in order to advance in seniority within the organization.

7. Rosicrucians: This mystic Christian fellowship was founded by a group of 8 doctors, alchemists and sages in the 1400s, in a quest to destroy the one true ring.

Joking aside… that would be cool, but instead, they actually dedicated their entire lives to providing free health care to any who needed it, and would appoint a successor to replace them after they died. Why does this sound similar to Obamacare?

6. Ordo Templis Orientis: The Order of the Temples of the East was originally founded as an offshoot of the Masons, kind of like the Stonecutters but without Steve Gutenberg. But it underwent radical changes when an occult magician known as the Great Beast, Aleister Crowley, took over the leadership.

5. Hermetic Order of The Golden Dawn: This is yet another occult group that grew out of the Masonic and Rosicrucian traditions, but with a much stronger emphasis on ritual magic like spell-casting, astrology, astral travel, crystal balls and potions.

A young Aleister Crowley was one of the order’s most famous members before he left to really get his freak on.

4. The Knights Templar: Founded almost a thousand years ago as a kind of highway patrol for pilgrims in the holy land, they were originally called the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ.

Their emblem was of two knights riding on a single horse, emphasizing the Order’s poverty.

3. The Illuminati: As the unofficially self appointed spokesperson for the Illuminati, I am in no way whatsoever authorized to tell you that we don’t really exist, so please stop asking. We are not managing the New World Order through YouTube.

2. Opus Dei: Opus Dei is in the form of some sort of organization within the Catholic Church that may be hiding something important and according to many critics allegedly acts as, well, if they’re better than other Christians.

It is claimed that they strongly emphasize the belief that “everyone is called to holiness and that ordinary life is a path to sanctity.” I gotta say, that’s a pretty deep statement.

Related: The Darkest Secrets of the Vatican

1. The Black Hand: This secret military society in the Balkans was formed in 1911 with the aim of liberating the Serbian people from Austro-Hungarian rule.

Their half-baked plan was to assassinate the Archduke Franz Ferdinand (yes, like that Franz Ferdinand), who was the heir to the Austrian throne, assuming that this would initiate a war between Austria and Serbia.

The first two assassination attempts with a car bomb failed to injure the Archduke and his wife and they managed to escape.

Building a network of highways across Africa to promote much-needed economic development sounds like a fantastic idea. And being able to cross the Mediterranean via ferry from Europe, then drive from Algiers to Lagos would be great [source: Sengupta]. And, maybe someday, when the Trans-Sahara Highway is completed, that'll be doable.
But for the time being, traveling on the 2,800-mile (4,506-kilometer) long, partially completed route remains a daunting task. Daytime temperatures are scorching, and fuel and water are in scarce supply along much of the route, so you'd better hope the needle doesn't touch "E" and that your radiator doesn't blow [source: Travel + Leisure]. And even the newly paved portions of the road often disappear under immense drifts of sand that block the route for days at a time [source: Harnett].

4. M56 Kolyma Federal Highway, Magadan to Yakutsk, Russian Federation

https://www.dangerousroads.org/images/stories/Newroads10/federal12.gif

This 1,200-mile (1,931-kilometer) long route is known in Russia as the "Road of Bones." It was built between the 1930s and the early 1950s by thousands of prisoners from Soviet dictator Josef Stalin's Kolyma Gulag, who were deliberately overworked, starved to death and then buried beneath the route [sources: Travel + Leisure].
Never a dependable road surface, over the decades it has fallen into a worse state of disrepair, with vast unpaved, rut-laden stretches [source: BigEarthUK]. The Kolyma passes through some of the coldest inhabited places on Earth, with winter temperatures that drop to minus 70 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 56 degrees Celsius). At times, the road is frozen solid. But bizarrely, it's easier to travel the road when it's frozen in the winter than when it's a treacherous sea of mud in the summer [source: RoadTripsAcrossRussia.com]. To make matters worse, local officials warn that bandits have been known to attack unwary travelers [source: Gray].

3. Halsema Highway, Baguio to Bontoc, Philippines

https://www.dutchpickle.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/halsema-highway-baguio-020.jpg

One of the most scenic and also most hazardous stretches of road on the planet was built in the 1930s by a man named Euseibus Julius Halsema, a civil engineer from Ohio who moved to the Philippines shortly after the turn of the 20th century. Halsema eventually rose to become mayor and chief engineer for the city of Baguio, which was then a remote village with a few thousand inhabitants.
Halsema hoped to spur Baguio's growth by building a route called the Mountain Trail to Bontoc, the capital of Mountain Province [source: Halsema.org]. The 93-mile (149.6-kilometer) long highway snakes along the slopes of the Cordillera Central mountain range through an area filled with volcanic rock formations.
These formations were fractured by a 7.8 earthquake in 1990 and subsequently have been further destabilized by erosion from typhoons. As a result, motorists are menaced not only by the continual threat of rock slides, but also by gaping, 40-foot (12-meter) deep erosion scars on the roadside [source: Griffiths]. To make things even worse, sections are sometimes shrouded in mist that makes visibility dicey [source: Travel + Leisure].

2. Guoliang Tunnel, Taihang Mountains, China

https://www.ssqq.com/archive/images/Guoliang%20Tunnel%2017.jpg

https://www.losapos.com/pics/45/guo8.jpg

https://static.topyaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Guoliang-Tunnel-Road-China2.jpg

In 1972, inhabitants of a remote mountain village performed one of the most miraculous feats in road-building history: They chiseled a tunnel three-quarters of a mile through a mountain for easier access to the outside world. Here, "easier" means easier than tiptoeing along a rocky footpath worn into the face of the mountain, which is what they had to do before they built the tunnel.
But the new passageway, whose name translates to "road that does not tolerate any mistakes," is only marginally less hair-raising. The tunnel's 15-foot (4.5-meters) high ceiling and 12-foot (3.5-meter) wide roadbed would be forbiddingly dark and claustrophobic had the builders not also carved periodic openings in the tunnel walls. The resulting view of the gaping abyss just a few feet away from your wheels is enough to make you forget all about how confined you are [source: Travel + Leisure].

1. North Yungas Road, Coroico to La Paz, Bolivia

https://www.offroaders.com/Destinations/Yungas-Road/images/Yungas-Road17.jpg

https://www.oddee.com/_media/imgs/articles/a432_death.jpg

Most of the travel journalists who've written cautionary lists of the world's worst roads seem to agree that the North Yungas Road, a 40-mile (64.3- kilometer) long stretch of hell in Bolivia is the planet's ultimate nightmare for motorists. In 1995, the Inter-American Development Bank singled out the "Road of Death," as it is sometimes called, as the most dangerous route in the world.
It's not hard to figure out why. Built by Paraguayan prisoners of war in the 1930s, North Yungas mostly is a single, winding 10-foot (3-meter) wide lane carved out of the side of a mountain. Worse yet, on the way from Coroico to La Paz, the elevation drops sharply, from 14,000 feet (4,267 meters) to just more than 1,000 feet (304.8 meters). Add traffic -- including plenty of big, ungainly trucks and buses rolling downhill at frightening speeds and taking curves on two wheels -- and you've got a heart-stopping surprise waiting around every bend. The one saving grace is that local custom grants uphill traffic the right of way [source: Drivers.com].

18. Experiments show that male rhesus macaque monkeys will pay to look at pictures of female rhesus macaques’ bottoms.

19. In 1567, the man said to have the longest beard in the world died after he tripped over his beard running away from a fire.

30. In 2008 scientists discovered a new species of bacteria that lives in hairspray.

31. The top of the Eiffel Tower leans away from the sun, as the metal facing the sun heats up and expands. It can move as much as 7 inches.

39. The largest snowflake ever recorded reportedly measured 15 inches across.

40. An epidemic of laughing that lasted almost a year broke out in Tanganyika (now Tanzania) in 1962. Several thousand people were affected, across several villages. It forced a school to close. It wasn’t fun, though — other symptoms included crying, fainting, rashes, and pain.

41. The Romans used to clean and whiten their teeth with urine. Apparently it works. Please don’t do it, though.

42. There are around 60,000 miles of blood vessels in the human body. If you took them all out and laid them end to end, they’d stretch around the world more than twice. But, seriously, don’t do that either.

Health › Put An Ice Cube At This Point On Your Head And Witness The Miracle by mickyeddi(op): 7:04pm On May 31, 2015
You have probably never thought that a daily use of ice cubes can help your body heal and recharge and make you a bit younger and energetic.

It can happen if you put an ice cube at the point where your head and neck are connected. This technique is closely related to Chinese acupuncture and according to it, the point where you have to place the ice cube is called Feng Fu, which translates to “wind mansion”.

Just hold the cube for 20 minutes on the Feng Fu point. Naturally, at first you will begin to feel freezing, but after thirty or forty seconds you will feel warmth.

By doing this every day you will begin to feel euphoria. This is because the ice cube will cause for endorphin to be released in your blood. But, there are many more benefits from using this technique.

For example:

Sleep improvement;
Better digestion;
No more frequent colds;
Less joint pain, toothaches and headaches;
Breathing improvement and better cardiovascular system;
No more degenerative spine changes and management of neurological disorders;
Help with sexually transmitted and gastrointestinal infections;
No thyroid gland disorders;
No hypotension, hypertension and arthritis;
No asthma;
Help with malnutrition or obesity;
No Cellulite;
Better menstruation and help with impotence, infertility, endocrine glands and frigidity;
No insomnia, chronic fatigue, depression, stress and management of psycho-emotional disorders;

This method helps the body to return its balance, so technically it is not a cure, but a rejuvenation method. Simply put, your body gets higher on life.

However, the method may show contraindications in cases of schizophrenia, epilepsy, pacemakers, and during pregnancy.

This man is spewing utter nonsense as usual. He's also part of the gerontocratic political class ruining this country with their sheer arrogance and disrespect to the ordinary people. What's the point of speaking when most people cannot understand him, he might as well speak Chinese or Swahili. He's lucky he lives in a country that has a very weak press, if not he would have been put in his place by a high school journalist.

Romance › Moment Gay Lovers Who Met Through Dating Site Discover They Are Brothers by mickyeddi(op):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o78hF5ybT-M

Two gay men who met online and started a physical relationship discovered they were actually brothers live on the Jeremy Kyle show.
A DNA test revealed the shock truth for lovers Paul and Lee, who had been a couple for years after finding each other online.
The pair - who exchanged flirty messages for a full two years before hooking-up - were none the wiser to the fact they shared the same mother...and were in fact closer than either of them could ever have imagined.
The reality only came to light when Lee's family and friends first met his new lover and noticed a striking similarity between Paul and his mother's former husband, Ron.


To set the record straight, the men chose to appear on The Jeremy Kyle Show, where they requested a DNA test that they hoped would prove that they didn't share the same blood.
However, the results confirmed the suspicions that Paul and Lee were actually half-brothers, and left both men speechless.
Speaking before he revealed the results to the pair, Kyle said: 'You are having a physical sexual relationship with a man that you love and want to marry and at some point somebody might tell you that he could be your half-brother.

The men are left dumbfounded after being told that as well as being lovers, they are in fact brothers too

'What does that do to you?'
Lee responded by saying: 'It make me sick.
'It makes me basically horrible. I can't describe it.'
Upon hearing the devastating news that he and Paul are related, Lee sits visibly shaken by the sensational discovery.
Paul, wearing a pink polo-shirt and green jacket, clasps his hands over his mouth.

The newly discovered brothers couldn't speak after being told they were much closer than they thought

Footage from the ITV show then shows the pair sitting in a stunned silence for 20 seconds, with even notorious motor-mouth Kyle left lost for words at the shock revelation.
The brothers had never met before chatting online.
Paul was taken into care when he was only 18 months old, with Lee later conceived by the same mother, Ena.
If it turns out Paul is my son I would be so happy and would love to get to know him
Ena, Paul and Lee's mother
After finding out that two of her four children were now in a homosexual relationship together, Ena said: 'When I saw Paul for the first time I instantly thought he looked like my ex-husband Ron.
'If it turns out Paul is my son I would be so happy and would love to get to know him.'
The segment - which was first broadcast in 2012 - featured on Kyle's ten year anniversary show broadcast on Thursday.
According to the show, both men have since moved on, but remain closer than ever as brothers.

yettybaby112:
pls,what's these noise about Vaseline? it's for what? seriously undecided
Using Vaseline or some sort of lubricant is a common practice. It simulates more accurately actual sex. The penis slides in and out of the vagina during sex. When you masturbate without lubricant you're gripping it tight and that's not the way most vagina's hold on to one. Not usually anyway. The woman can tighten and loosen that area but it also produces it's own lubricant.
Vaseline is a mess to clean up. It is the best thing to use that you would normally have around the house but it's as messy as Vaseline. Some guys like to use baby oil or lotion but it tends to sink into the skin of both your hand and your penis and has to be continuously reapplied. The main reason for using lube is because it feels good and you can enjoy it for a longer period of time. If you try it you'll probably never go back to doing it the old way. They actually make special water soluble cream just for masturbation. If you can find it, one product is the best. It's called Menscream and it's available mostly in sex shops or on line.
Politics › Tobacco Tycoon Who Calls Himself The Candyman Use Women As Dogs(money And Power) by mickyeddi(op): 10:15am On May 19, 2015

The 'Australian Hugh Hefner' has defended his parenting skills after his wife's grandparents expressed concern for his children growing up in a party mansion.
Travers Beynon, a tobacco tycoon, calls himself The Candyman and has become popular on Instagram for sharing pictures of his life of expensive cars and lavish poolside parties.
He hosts lavish parties at a sprawling $3.7 million riverside property on the Gold Coast, where here lives with his wife Taesha - who he was pictured leading around on a leash - and his four children.
After copping criticism for raising his family at the same home as the parties on the national television last night, the Candyman posted an image of himself with his young family this morning.
'There is one thing I cherish more than throwing the biggest and best parties... and that is my KIDS AND FAMILY,' he wrote.
'Our mornings are like everybody else. I am their PROTECTOR & PROVIDER. #wearesafewithourdad #rolemodel.'

One image posted on The Candyman's Instagram shows his wife on her hands and knees being walked around and is captioned 'Candyman's interpretation of "Doggy Style"'

Taesha's grandparents, Graham and Evon Appleby, last night broke down on A Current Affair and said they are devastated at having no contact with Taesha and her two girls.
Although Taesha has the title of The Candyman's wife, she shares the former model and AFL star with hundreds of other women, including her best friend who shares their bed nightly.
Mr Beynon has four children, two with Taesha and two with his former wife and Miss World 1991,


'We just want to hold them for the first time,' Mrs Appleby said. 'We just want to walk in there and grab Taesha, grab the girls, and pull them out of there.'
After seeing the image of their granddaughter on a leash they admit they are not frequent viewers of My Beynon's social media pages.
'We don't spend a lot of time looking at it his website because it breaks our heart.'
Mr Appleby says he and his wife are heartbroken that they missed their granddaughter's wedding and cannot contact their great grandchildren.
'He may think this is funny, but I don't think anyone finds it funny.'

Beynon's property was last valued at $3.75 million, according to property website RPData

'The Candyman' has posted almost 700 pictures of the wild parties on his Instagram account, which has more than 14,500 followers

Romance › Re: My Wife Forces Me To Have Sex With Her Almost 8 Times A Day by mickyeddi: 8:31am On May 19, 2015
Nicklouse:
This is my second nairaland account and not my original just for the sake of this post and other stuff. I recently married this beautiful 24 years old Lady about 4 months ago. We married in a church and the wedding was great. Our honeymoon was also great.

She is always demanding sex.. When i say NO she would romance and seduce me so much that i have no choice but to give in up to 8 times a day. Especially weekends. During the working days, she would ensure we copulate at least 3 times in the morning before she leaves for work and up to 3 times at Night before we sleep and sometimes in the car in traffic as our work places are very close so we leave together.

I am getting tired of this. The day she came visiting to my work place.. we had sex there in my office. I dont know whats in her head right now i need help. Nairalanders please help me.

I reported to her family they have ignored my complaints.. She is a very young, beautiful and irresistible girl so i can barely control my self even when i do not want it. I threatened to divorce her, she said i cannot divorce her just like that. She is right, i cannot. I wont dare judging by the family she is coming from. An iron born family.

I am now angry, sad, and confused.. She is even sleeping by my side as i type this i am sure by 5:00am tomorrow, another round. cry
Yet another loser fantasizing about sex early in the morning.

Politics › Inside House Of Horrors Where Children Stayed With A Rotting Corpse by mickyeddi(op): 3:46pm On May 18, 2015
A mother has been convicted of neglect after keeping her young children in a filthy home where her brother's corpse was decomposing in the upstairs bedroom.
When the authorities were called to the house one official joked, 'Have you got a dead body upstairs?' because of the appalling smell - only to find out that there really was a corpse.
The young boys have now been taken away from their mother after being rescued from the home in Knowsley, Merseyside where their grandparents lived.

Filth: This image shows the disgusting conditions inside a house where a dead body was found decomposing

The body of the owners' son was found in a bedroom which had attracted thousands of flies

The children's mother had previously been told not to take her children, aged four and five, to her parents' house because of the squalid conditions there.
Shocking photographs show piles of rubbish heaped up in every room, with a thick layer of grime and mould around the windows and kitchen cabinets.


The woman's brother had been lying dead in a bedroom for up to a month - but his parents, who are compulsive hoarders, had no idea he had died.
The young children's mother, who cannot be named for legal reasons, pleaded guilty to neglect at Liverpool Crown Court and was sentenced to an 18-month community order.
Sarah Holt, prosecuting, said that the woman regularly took her children round to see their grandparents despite being advised not to do so by social services.

Shock: The house was so filthy that its residents did not even realise their son had died despite the overwhelming smell


The two residents and their daughter were arrested on suspicion of concealing a body, but charges were never brought against them.
Judge Stephen Everett told the defendant: 'The home was in a disgusting state - you described them yourself as hoarders.
'Even without the tragic circumstance of your brother's death, the reality is that the house was not a place where young children should be. You lost all sense of responsibility to your children.'
He added: 'We will never know in the days or weeks following your brother's death why nobody did anything. He lay there in that bedroom and the smell was indescribable.
'For any mother to bring their children in that circumstance defies belief. You failed to see something that everyone else could, except the three of you.'
The judge said that the only 'silver lining' was that the two boys are now doing well in the care of guardians.
