A mother who still breastfeeds her 7-year-old son and his 4-year-old brother has been criticized by social media users who called her a sick pedophile. But she has hit back at the trolls.

But her post was bombarded with comments from people who told her that she was damaging her children. Some even accused her of incest and child abuse.

Replying to the harsh comments, Lisa wrote an open letter posted to Kidspot today. In the letter, Lisa said she would have continued to breastfeed Chase until he no longer wanted it, even if he didn’t have autism.

Her letter reads:

To the adults who have commented that I am sick and need to get help, there is nothing mentally wrong with me, I am only doing what is natural.

It’s not a sexual act, I’m not a paedophile which is what quite a few have suggested.

My son is very independent, self-assured, not damaged. His friends and peers don’t tease as they have been educated in the fact that what he is doing is ok.

Watching and seeing all you adults bully and abuse me, telling me what I need to do for your comfort, overriding my child’s comfort, I can see why so many children bully these days.

A nursing mother, Folake Ogunrinu, has been arrested by operatives of the Oyo State Police Command for allegedly lacerating her 10-year-old maid with a razor blade in the Sanyo area of Ibadan.


According to Punch, The suspect, who had accused the victim of stealing her baby’s milk, in a bid to discipline her, subjected the girl to torture by allegedly using a razor blade to lacerate her on the back and hand, leaving the girl with severe injuries.

An eyewitness, who pleaded anonymity, while condemning the action of the nursing mother, said the maid ran out of the house to get help from neighbours when she could no longer withstand the pain from the torture.

The eyewitness said, “It pains me to see a small girl in such pain; it was a terrible scene. The woman accused the girl of stealing her baby’s milk and subjected her to such a horrible torture. According to the victim, the woman used a razor blade to lacerate her back and when she could no longer cope with the torture, she ran out of the house and the woman still chased after her.

“It was when the girl ran out that we saw what had happened to her and forcefully took her away and rushed her to the hospital for treatment.

“From what we were told, the woman gave birth to a set of twins some months back and I think the girl was brought to her by a church member to assist the woman for a year. As small as the girl is, the woman usually made her to do all the house chores. I wonder why the girl has still not returned to her parents.

You may best know Soulja Boy for his 2007 single Crank That (Soulja Boy) and the accompanying dance routine – but you may not know he basically created one of music’s biggest rappers. Well, according to him, anyway. The 28-year-old rapper has claimed that he taught Drake everything he knows, accusing him of copying bars from his song Kiss Me Thru The Phone on Miss Me. In an interview with The Breakfast Club, Soulja Boy was peeved when Charlamagne Tha God suggested Meek Mill had a bigger comeback than him in 2018 because he had a feud with Drake. The rapper, real name DeAndre Coerz Way, said: ‘Drake? The n**** that got bodied by Pusha T? The n**** that’s hiding his kid from the world, but the world won’t hide from the kid. Aubrey Graham in the wheelchair? Drake?! Y’all n****s better stop playing with me in here. Y’all talking about the light-skinned n**** from “Degenerous”?’



(He meant Degrassi.) Soulja Boy continued: ‘Stop playing with me like I didn’t teach Drake everything he know. You didn’t hear Drake on his first song – [singing] “Tell me what’s really going on. Drizzy Drake back in this thing. I’m ready. What’s happenin’?” That’s Soulja! That’s my bar! He copied my whole fucking flow! Word-for-word! Bar-for-bar! ‘Don’t act like I didn’t make Drake. N****, don’t do that. I will son n****s in a heartbeat. Drake? Aubrey? The n**** who I made N**** We Made It with in 2014?’ As well as taking shots at Kanye West and Tyga throughout the interview, Soulja Boy complained that people are making millions off the type of music he was ridiculed for.

The National Leader, of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Tuesday said that President Muhammadu Buhari’s trustworthiness is what distinguishes him as the candidate to beat in the 2019 presidential elections.

Tinubu argued that the character of the two presidential candidate front runners — President Buhari and ex-VP Atiku Abubakar — could not be more distinct.

“President Buhari is a straight and honest man. Leave a Naira on the table with Buhari in the room. You will find the Naira on the table when you return.

“When Buhari says ‘yes’ or ‘no,’ you know where he stands. He means what he says, no more, no less.

“With Atiku, things are more nuanced. This shows he has no vision for the nation except the naked pursuit of power for the naked use of that power,” Tinubu said.

Speaking in Lagos on Tuesday via a statement by his Media Officer, Mr. Tunde Rahman, the ex-Governor also assured President Muhammadu Buhari that the party’s campaign council has accepted the assignment given to it by the President and would work for the country.

A woman, Kate Mason, for 21-years tricked her ex-husband, Richard Mason, into believing he was the father of her three sons.



According to Daily Mail, Mr. Mason learned Kate Mason had lied about the paternity when doctors diagnosed him with cystic fibrosis and told him he had been infertile since birth in 2016.

A court has ordered Mrs. Mason to pay him £250,000 following an extraordinary legal case that has allowed her to keep the identity of the real father a secret.

DNA and other tests later confirmed beyond doubt that the businessman has no biological link to his wife’s eldest son, now 23, and 19-year-old twins.

Mr Mason believes that the same man fathered all three boys during an intermittent four-year affair his wife Kate, 54, embarked on in the late 1990s.

But she only confessed to the adultery in 2016, ten years on from their divorce, when he confronted her about the children’s paternity.

It is not known if Mrs Mason’s former lover is aware he has three sons from the on-off relationship.

Davido has been sanctioned for breaking camp rules during the mandatory three-week orientation camp.

According to PUNCH, He has been “Dekit” for absconding from camp during the orientation camp. This brought to an end his participation in 2018 Batch ‘B’ Stream II in Lagos State.

Source Said, “The NYSC was constrained to “dekit” Davido for violating the rules guiding conduct and activities in the camp. As a matter of fact, he absconded because he was away from the camp without permission. That prompted the Corps to issue him a query which was sent from Abuja. So, he is no longer a serving corps member.”

The artist violated many rules which are: bringing vehicles into the orientation camp; disclosing official information; engaging in private practice; taking part in partisan politics and reporting late for duty.

Meanwhile, he may be remobilised to the scheme says source.

President of the Association of Industrial Security and Safety Operators of Nigeria, Dr Ona Ekhomu laments that Military is not only solution to Insurgency in North-East Nigeria.

On 2018 AISSON Security Conference held on Tuesday and Wednesday, He made the statement.

On the topic, Boko Haram/ISWA threats: Combating a burgeoning insurgency, Ekhomu urges FG to deal with the situation early.

He said, “We need a long view to the issues of violence. Because we lack the ability to see ahead, we miss when the red flags are raised. Sometimes, they start as communal clashes and if they are diffused at that level, they have been nipped in the bud. We need to be more proactive than preventive.

“It is wrong that the military is seen as the only solution to the insurgency. When we gather intelligence, what are we doing with it? That is where the action comes in. It is not about killing the head of an insurgency group; that simply makes another leader rise. Rather, their leaders should be used to decimate them and negotiate with them.”

The Fertilizer Producers and Suppliers Association of Nigeria (FEPSAN), on Sunday, approached the Federal Government to boycott the importation of Nitrogen Phosphorus Potassium (NPK) compost, focusing on that it was costing the country grave loses.

Talking with our journalist in Abuja, the President of the Association, Mr Thomas Etuh said that the country could set aside to N720 billion, $1.2 billion in outside trade and a huge number of occupations in the event that it bans the importation of NPK manure.

Etuh contended that the country previously had the ability to create up to four million tons of the item in each cultivating season, adding that most astounding ever amount to have been used by Nigerian ranchers was 1.5 million tons as the rest were traded.

Etuh included that separated from the creation limit, Nigerian agriculturists favor the Nigerian made NPK compost in light of the fact that a ton of research was put into it to make it Nigerian-soil particular.

“The association is working for the government to ban the importation of NPK fertiliser because it makes no sense to import the product when we basically have the capacity to produce up to 4 million tons.

“Right now, farmers can compare what is being produced here in the country and what is being imported but they still go for the Nigerian product because what we are producing today is specific to the soil requirements in the country.

“We have written as an association to Mr. President, and he has graciously set up a committee to look into that. We have made all our submissions so we are waiting for the final decision,” he said.

He argued that there was no need exporting jobs meant for Nigerians since the focus of the present government was to create more jobs.

“Government believes that it is the right thing to create jobs because we are striving to be self sufficient; those are the question they look at.

“Why do we want to export our jobs? This programme will save foreign exchange for the government up to 200 million dollars.

“We have saved 60 billion naira in subsidy per season. If you take subsidy cumulatively for the next 4 to 6 years, you will find out that the government is going to save about 720 billion naira and 1.2 billion dollars in foreign exchange.

“When you calculate 60 billion naira saved in two farming seasons in one year, it gives you 120 billion naira, and when you do that in six years, you save 720 billion naira,” Etuh said.

NAN reports that Nigeria has two distinctive farming seasons in a year which is the rainy and the dry season.

Police in Thailand have arrested an HIV-infected soldier Sgt. Maj. Jakkrit Khomsing who allegedly blackmailed and raped more than 70 teenage boys.

Police said in a statement that they received a complaint that Khomsing was using fake social media profiles on Facebook and the gay dating app Blued to win the trust of his victims.

Police Lt. Col. Nacharot Kaewpetch said the victims would send their nude photos to Khomsing before agreeing to meet him.

When they found out he was not who he pretended to be online, he would threaten to make their nude photos public if they refused to have sex with him.

Kaewpetch said police discovered medicine for treating HIV when they arrested the 43-year-old Khomsing at his home Wednesday in the northeastern province of Khon Kaen.

They said tests confirmed he was infected with HIV.

So far police have determined that Khomsing had more than 70 victims between the ages of 13 and 18.

“Even though the suspect is a soldier, this behavior — and I’ve consulted with army commanders — is a personal issue, not an organisational one,” police Maj. Gen. Surachate Hakparn said.

An Englishwoman, Amethyst Realm said she has found true love after having a fling with an Australian ghost, who just proposed to her, and now she wants the living world to know about it.

30-year-old Realm from Bristol claimed in an interview on ITV News that she has had sex with at least 20 ghosts since she was a teenager as she wasn’t looking for a new relationship. However, things changed for her when she went on business trip to Australia.

She said that she came into contact with an apparition when she went on a nature hike in the country and felt sparks like none she has ever known.

Realm thinks that it would not amount to anything serious as she says spirits tend to stay in one place. However, she experienced something amazing happening on her flight home: She felt the presence of her lover on the plane, and apparently not stowed in cargo.

“I couldn’t believe it. I was happy and excited – so excited that we had to do something about it. So we headed to the plane loo,” she told the Sun. “And, well, I am now a member of the Mile High Club.”

The incident occurred nine months ago and things have grown to the point where Realm expressed her desire to marry and have her ghost’s baby on the British show “ITV This Morning” in August.
