It’s true I have policeman boyfriend, but I told my hubby about him —Wife font size decrease font size increase font size Print Email 18.Oct.2014 DISQUS_COMMENTS Rate this item1 2 3 4 5 (1 Vote) A 48-year-old church treasurer, Mr Idris Abiodun, has prayed an Igando Customary Court in Lagos, Lagos State, to dissolve his marriage over alleged constant theft of church money by his wife. Idris, who is also a civil servant, told the court that his wife of four years, Toyin, stole both his personal money and that of the church in his custody. ADVERTISEMENT “Anytime I come home with money, my wife will steal some notes. By the time I take the money back to the church, it will be incomplete and I always pay for the missing money,” he said. Idris also added that 45-year-old Toyin threatened the life of his first wife until she died. “When my first wife was alive, she always called her a barren woman, and vowed that she would never conceive. “When she was sick and admitted in a hospital, Toyin sent a message to her that she would never come back home,” he said. He also accused her of adultery. “She made a confession to me that she was dating a policeman and that she used a ring that would prevent her from getting pregnant for man.” Idris told the court he was no longer interested in the union. Responding, Toyin, a teacher, did not deny the allegation of adultery but denied stealing and having a hand in the death of her husband’s first wife. “I have a police boyfriend and I told my husband about it,” Toyin told the court. The mother of two said that Idris used to be beat her anytime she refused to have sex with him. “I always refuse him sex because he is having Facebook friends,” she said. She consented to the dissolution of the marriage, saying she no longer loved Idris. The court President, Mr R.I. Adeyeri, adjourned the case to October 29. |
How I escaped from kidnapper’s den in Ogun State on October 18, 2014 / in Crime Guard 6:24 am / Comments By EDIRI EJOH & ABDUL-lATEEF LIGALI A middle-aged woman, Mrs. Patience Igho, recently narrated how she escaped from kidnapper’s den in Agbara forests at the outskirts of Ogun State. Victim-pixThe traumatized Igho said she could not believe what she saw inside the forest after she was drugged inside a commercial bus on her way to Boundary Market in Ajegunle, Lagos. The distraught woman, who sells frozen fish told Crime Guard that she saw no fewer than 200 victims, who were held hostage. Consequently, she called on the relevant security agencies to quickly intervene and rescue the helpless people. Narrating her ugly experience, she said:“The incident happened in the early hours of the day. I left my house with N130, 000 to be deposited in the bank. I boarded a commercial bus with four women and two men already seated. I cannot rightly recall the registration number. I later found myself in Agbara forest. It was after I regained consciousness that I found myself with over 200 people. One of them told me that I was at Agbara forest. The person told me that some of them have been there for over seven months. Threats “While I was still trying to ascertain where I was, our captors came and asked us to drink water from one dirty container which I refused. They threatened to kill me if I insisted but I vehemently refused prompting them to vow that I must be the first to be sacrificed. Fortunately after the threats, they left me for another victim stating that nothing will stop them from sacrificing me. Later, they stripped all of us naked and shaved our hairs after which they placed them inside a pot. “They also brought another set of victims into the forest at about 9:00am. I was able to know the time from a big wall clock that was placed before us. These new set included a young lady and a man and their hairs were already shaved. They later shaved also our private part and armpit in preparation for their ritual.’’ Another victim’s experience “ Few hours later, I was surprised to see another victim, a woman, who said she had spent over months in captivity. She boldly commended me for not taking the water they offered me saying that if I had taken it, I would have been unconscious and accept every of their demands ,adding that she is a mother of four. She said she was captured with her four children on their way to church on a Sunday morning. Three of her children, she said, had been slaughtered.’’ “What followed later was that they brought the boiling pot where our hairs were thrown into and tried to force us to recite some incantations. Earlier before that, I had seen a young lady who was brought before the pot to recite such words bearing a tattoo of scorpion on her right arms but she screamed Jesus! When the man that was performing the incantation saw the tattoo on her body, he refused to perform the rites on her, saying her blood was contaminated already. At this stage, we noticed that there were different buckets for sensitive parts like head, ears, private parts, etc. they were placed on top of a slab which butchers use in killing animals. The bold woman told us that politicians and ritualists thronged to the place to buy those parts. My Freedom “While all these were going on, I did not know that one of the ritualists was watching me. At some point when I refused to recite those words, the man who looked like their leader ordered that I should be beaten up which they did. While they were at it, I shouted severally, Jesus! And I even called many names ascribed to God. Fortunately, on hearing my strident voice calling on the creator, their leader rushed out and ordered the boys to dispose me at the nearest Bus-Stop.’’ “The gang members threw me inside the bus and dropped me at the back of Agbara market. Still in shock, I trekked from that market to Federal Government College, Ijanikin to beg for money from my relatives who stay in that area. It was like a nightmare but I experienced it and survived by the special grace of God. I will not wish my worst enemy to go through what I passed through because it was so traumatizing . That is why I am passionately calling on security agencies to move into action and raid all those hide outs because some people are still there helplessly waiting to be rescued.” - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/10/escaped-kidnappers-den-ogun-state/#sthash.xmT8zfAG.dpuf |

Germany makes all its universities 100% tuition-free Posted On 04 Oct 2014By : Web MasterComment: 0Tag: Germany, News 0 Germany may not be in the top 10 ranking of the just released Times Higher Education world university rankings, but insofar as students from other countries as concerned, German universities are number 1 if only because the country is 100 per cent tuition-free. This happened on Oct 1 when all universities in Lower Saxony declared their schools free of charge. Lower Saxony is the last of seven German states to charge tuition fee. “Tuition fees are socially unjust … They particularly discourage young people who do not have a traditional academic family background from taking up studies. It is a core task of politics to ensure that young women and men can study with a high quality standard free of charge in Germany,” The Times quoted Dorothee Stapelfeldt, Hamburg senator for science. The tuition-free policy, which started in 2006, covers also foreign students enrolled in German universities. While state governments then began to charge €1,000 in response to a constitutional court decision that collecting fees didn’t breach Germany’s commitment to universal post-secondary education, students pressured the academic institutions that eventually led to the scrapping of tuition fees. However, while the news made German students as well as parents happy, some universities disagree with the policy. “It is a for the university … We were obliged to spend the fees we received on investment in teaching, and it gave us the chance to improve the teaching and instruction,” Hamburg University Vice President Dr Holger Fischer catastrophe was quoted as saying in 2011 by The Guardian. At that time, Hamburg just scrapped tuition fees and only Lower Saxony, Bavarias and Baden-Wuttemberg continued to collect tuition fees. To make up for the loss in revenue, Fischer said then that it would cut spending in some areas and by budget regrouping. He warned, “The level of our teaching will have to decrease dramatically,” since he doubted the measures would cover the losses. Meanwhile, international students are concerned on the impact of a plan by Finland to collect tuition fees from enrollees that are from outside the EU/EEA area. IBTimes |
I BELIEVE THAT IF ONE IS DESTINED TO BE RICH-He or she will become rich by good great efforts. If one is destined to be poor,after all the human sacrifices and devilish attempts,the juju will fail and will not work or the person may even be arrested in the process. The reasonable thing is that we all have to BE CAREFUL NOWADAYS.Some foolishly believe in SEEKING WEALTH THROUGH THE DEVIL. There are some blood thirsty herbalists REQUESTING HUMAN BEIGNS-LADIES,HUMAN HEADS,EYES,PRIVATE PARTS ETC PLEASE AND PLEASE PROTECT YOURSELF ,YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS ALWAYS. REAL OR NOT REAL-- WE still remember the SOKA INCIDENTS THERE ARE STILL DUNGEONS in unknown places owned by influential people. |

Trainee doctor ‘dies of heart attack’ while masturbating at sperm bank Saturday 13 Sep 2014 1:33 pm Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Man dies while masturbating at sperm bank Chinese student Zheng Gang may have ‘masturbated himself to death’ (Picture: CEN) A trainee doctor has died while producing a sample at a sperm bank. Zheng Gang, who suffered a heart attack, was found unresponsive in a booth at the building at China’s Wuhan University. Worried workers had accessed his private booth when they realised he had spent two hours inside. They discovered the 23-year-old unconscious and despite their attempts to revive him he was pronounced dead at the scene. It was his fourth visit in just over a week and he had reportedly been using sexy magazines to help him. The incident was revealed after Mr Gang’s family took the sperm bank to court claiming they were responsible for his death in January 2011. The court dismissed the action saying Zheng was mature enough to make his own decisions. The family had been awarded £27,000 by a lower court but were seeking £1 million in compensation. |

Miracle cat survives 20 gunshots in Norway Published: 25 Aug 2014 00:43 GMT+02:00 Updated: 25 Aug 2014 00:43 GMT+02:00 Facebook Twitter Google+ reddit A cat survived multiple gunshot wounds to its body and face after being shot 20 times with an air gun in Haldensjordet, Hønefoss on Sunday. The injured animal was taken to a local vet after coming home to its owner. The family pet had been missing for eight days. The cat was treated and miraculously survived the attack. Its injuries included one air gun pellet in its spine, ten pellets in its back-left leg, five in the left side of its stomach, one in the front-left paw and three pellets in its face. Some of the pellets were successfully removed by the vet, but many of the pellets still remain. Police chief, Espen Sola, told NRK: “It is simply a tragedy.” Police are now looking for who was behind the attack or clues leading to an arrest. On Saturday another cat died after it was impaled by thugs on a tree branch in Vangen, Haugesund. Police chief Trond Friberg told Haugesunds Avis: “It was simply ill-treated.” Five cats were killed in Vangen last year. The animal rights organization NOAH will file a case for the murder of the impaled cat, and has also released a 5,000 kroner ($810) reward for leads in connection to the case. NOAH vet, Siri Martinsen, said: “Remembering the dark past of this area, where several cats have been mistreated and murdered without the attacker being caught, we think it is important to encourage people to come to the police with clues.” Martinsen claimed there is a significant link between violence against animals and violence against people - particularly worrying when it concerns rough, sadistic violence such as a cat being impaled.

Mother of three caught with cannabis at airport Posted by: Kelvin Osa Okunbor in City Beats 3 days ago A 37-year-old mother of three, Ezeh Ifeoma Maureen, has been arrested with substances suspected to be cannabis by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA). She was caught at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA) in Ikeja, Lagos, during outward screening of China-bound Ethiopian Airlines’ passengers for allegedly attempting to smuggle 6.200 kilogrammes of dried weeds that tested positive for cannabis. The agency’s Airport Commander, Mr. Hamza Umar, said the suspect told the officers that her bags contained vegetables and foodstuff. “She declared the content of her bags as vegetables and foodstuff, but during a search, the vegetables turned out to be cannabis weighing 6.200 kilogrammes. The drug was packed in two parcels.” The suspect, who hails from Anambra State, said: “I am a business woman; I sell women’s clothes at the Onitsha main market. I usually export foodstuff to China and import female dresses to Nigeria. One of my customers in China called to tell me that his brother would give me two parcels of vegetables to bring to him. I collected the parcels at the airport from the boy. Unfortunately, when they tested them, I was told that they contained cannabis.” Chairman/Chief Executive of NDLEA, Ahmadu Giade, advised the public to learn from the cases of those arrested for drug trafficking. “This mother of three children would have been killed in China for drug trafficking if she was not apprehended here. It is important for the public to learn from her experience and shun drug trafficking,” he said. Giade warned passengers not to collect items from people, who will not be there during a search. The suspect, Giade said, would be charged to court for unlawful possession of, and attempt to export cannabis. Print Friendly |

Saw this on escapeartist.com and decided to put it here for those who have been to Dubai to either confirm or dismiss the excerpts posted by Blake Herrin below. . .take your time to read . . .its long but interesting ! wink 20 reasons why you should not move to DUBAI. "Living in Dubai is not wonderful and glamorous, as many would have you believe. Forget about what you’ve read, seen, and heard; those shiny buildings and man made islands are all just smoke and mirrors. There are so many things wrong with this place that I have decided to compile a list, a must read if you are considering a potential move to Dubai. 1. There is no standard address system making mail-to-the door delivery impossible. In fact, it makes anything nearly impossible. The taxi driver, here for only two days, and having learned English from old Beatles albums has no clue where your house is. He won’t tell you that of course, he’ll just keep calling and saying, “Okay, okay. Yeah, yeah.” When you purchase something that requires delivery they do not have an address line, but a box where you are expected to draw a map. Not able to draw a map? Explain like this: I live on the street after the airport road, but before the roundabout. Go past the mosque and make a U-turn. 2. The government blocks all web sites that it deems “offensive” to the “religious, moral, and cultural values” of the UAE. That’s hard to swallow for a freedom loving American, but I get it. I do not understand, however, why all VOIP access and related web sites are blocked. I guess the government also takes offense to people inexpensively contacting their families back home. You’re welcome to call using the analog service provided by the government-owned telephone monopoly, but it will cost you a whole lot more. So much so, in fact, your frequency of calls will be greatly diminished if you can afford them at all. The government says VOIP is blocked for security reasons, yet even the residents of communist China and North Korea have access to these inexpensive calls. 3. It is really hot outside. Not Florida in July hot; Hot as if you were locked in a car in Florida in July with sufficient humidity to make it feel as though you are drowning. Hot as in 120 degrees with nearly 100% humidity. Do not look to the wind for relief. This is the equivalent of pointing a hairdryer on full blast directly at your face. Pour fine moon dust-like sand over your head as you do this and you get the picture. 4. There are too few trees, plants, and grass – or living things aside from us crazy humans, for that matter. Ever see a bird pant? I have. In my opinion, human beings were not meant to live in such a place. If we were, there would be sufficient water and shade. The only greenery around are the roadside gardens planted by the government, who waters the hell out of them in the middle of the day. Thanks a lot! Didn’t you say we should cut down on our water consumption because you are unable to keep up with the demand? I have an idea: let’s all move someplace where it’s not 120 degrees outside. 5. This country prides itself so much on its glitz and glamour that it put a picture of its 7-star hotel on the license plate. Yet, the public toilets in the king-of-bling Gold Souk district are holes in the ground with no toilet paper or soap. Hoses to rinse your nether regions, however, are provided. This results in a mass of water on the floor that you must stand in to pee. Try squatting without touching anything and keeping your pants from touching anything either. Oh yeah. It’s 120 degrees in there too. 6. This country encourages businesses to hire people from other poor countries to come here and work. They have them sign contracts that are a decade long and then take their passports. Even though taking passports is supposedly illegal, the government knows it happens and does nothing to enforce the law. These poor people are promised a certain pay, but the companies neglect to tell them they will be deducting their cost of living from their paychecks, leaving them virtually penniless – that is, if they choose to pay them. Companies hold back paychecks for months at a time. When the workers strike as a result, they are jailed. Protesting is illegal, you see (apparently this law IS enforced). These people will never make enough to buy a ticket home and even if they do, they do not have their passports. They live crammed in portables with tons of others, in highly unsanitary conditions. The kicker: they are building hotels that cost more to stay in for one night than they will make in an entire year. Things are so bad that a number of laborers are willing to throw themselves in front of cars because their death would bring their family affluence in the form of diya, blood money paid to the victim’s family as mandated by the government. 7. Things are not cheaper here. I’m sick of people saying that. I read the letters to the editor page of the paper and people say to those who complain about the cost of living rising here, “Well, it’s cheaper than your home country or you wouldn’t be here.” The only thing cheaper here is labor. Yes, you can have a maid – but a bag of washed lettuce will cost you almost $10. 8. There are traffic cameras everywhere. I consider this cheating. Where are the damn cops? I drove around this city for weeks before I ever even saw a cop. Trust me, they need traffic cops here. People drive like idiots. It’s perfectly okay to turn left from the far right lane, but speeding even just a couple of kilometers over will get you fined. These cameras are placed strategically as you come down hills, or just as the speed limit changes. Before you know it…BAM! Fined. Forget to pay the bill and your car will be impounded. 9. The clothing some of these women wear makes no sense to me. I understand that as part of your religion you are required to dress in a particular way, but a black robe over your jeans and turtleneck and cover your head when it is 120 degrees outside? In the gym some women wear five layers of clothing…sweatpants and t-shits over sweaters with headscarves. Yet the men’s clothing makes absolute sense: white, airy, and nothing underneath but their skivvies. 10. People stare at you. I am sick of being stared at. I’m stared at by men who have never seen a fair-skinned blue-eyed woman before, or who have and think we are all prostitutes so it’s okay to stare. They stare at me when I am fully covered or with my husband, and even follow me around. It’s beyond creepy and has brought me to tears on more than one occasion. The staring is not limited to men, either. I’m stared at angrily by female prostitutes who think I am running in on their territory by having a few drinks with my husband at the bar. 11. Prostitutes? Oh hell yes, there are prostitutes. Tons of them. So, let me get this straight, I can’t look at a Unclad picture of a person on the Internet in the privacy of my home, but it is okay to go out in public and buy a few for the night? 12. Alcohol can only be sold in hotels and a handful of private clubs. A person must own a liquor license to consume in the privacy of their own home. To obtain a liquor license you must get signed approval from your boss, prove a certain level of salary that determines how much you are allowed to buy, and then submit several mug shots (aka passport photos) for approval. Pay the fee and the additional 30% tax on every purchase and you may drink at home. Then again, you can just pick up a few bottles in the airport duty free on your way in to the country, but two is the max. Why not just drive out to Ajman where it’s a free-for-all and load up the SUV? It’s easy enough, but crossing the Emirates with alcohol is illegal – particularly in the dry emirate of Sharjah, which just happens to lie between Dubai and Ajman. Go figure. 13. Not only do you have to get your boss’s approval to obtain a liquor license, but you must also get the company’s approval to rent property, have a telephone, or get satellite TV. 14. Back to the craziness on the roads: If I see one more kid standing up and waving to me out the back window while flying down the road at 160 kph…whatever happened to seatbelts? 15. When is the weekend again? Let me get this straight: the weekend used to be Thursday and Friday, but no one took off all of Thursday, just a half day really. Now the government says Friday and Saturday are the weekend, but some people only take off Friday, others still take a half day on Thursday, but some might just take a half day on Saturday instead. Anyway you slice it, Sundays are workdays and little business can be accomplished Thursday through Saturday. 16. There are few satellite television operators:. The movie channels play movies that are old and outdated. Many of them went straight to video back in the States. Every sitcom that failed in the US has been purchased and is played here. Old episodes of Knight Rider are advertised like it is the coolest thing since sliced bread. The TV commercials are repeated so often that I am determined NOT to buy anything I see advertised on television here just for the principle of it. When I say repeated often, I mean every commercial break – sometimes more than once. 17. The roads are horribly designed. Driving ten minutes out of the way to make a U-turn is not uncommon. People are not able to give directions most of the time (remember reason #1), and the maps are little help because most have few road names on them, if any. Where is interchange four? You just have to hope you got on the freeway in the right place and start counting because they are not numbered. Miss it and you’ll likely end up on the other side of town before you are able to turn around and go back. 18. Taxi drivers are dangerous and smell. Taxi drivers work very hard here to earn a living because travel by taxi is still relatively inexpensive, even though the cost of living is not (see reason #7). Because of this you may have a driver who has had little sleep or the opportunity to shower for several days. Many of these drivers have just as much difficulty finding their way around as you do, but add to this a third-world country driving style and extreme exhaustion and, well, remember to buckle up for safety. 19. Speeding is an Emirati sport and Emirates Road is just an extension of the Dubai Autodrome. I know I keep mentioning the roads, but really, much of this city’s issues are encompassed by the erratic and irrational behavior displayed on its streets. Visions of flashing lights on even flashier, limo-tinted SUVs haunt me as I merge on to the highway. Local nationals are somehow able to get the sun-protecting dark window tint denied to us lowly expats and use it to hide their faces as they tailgate you incessantly at unbelievably high speeds, their lights flickering on and off and horn blaring repeatedly. It doesn’t matter that you can’t get over, or if doing so would be particularly dangerous, they will run you off the road to get in front of you. Don’t even think about giving someone the finger; the offense could land you in jail. Tailgating is, unbelievably, legal. 20. Dubai is far from environmentally friendly. Ever wonder how much damage those man made islands are doing to the delicate ocean ecosystem? Coral reefs, sea grasses, and oyster beds that were once part of protected marine lands lie choked under a barrage of dredged up sea sand. Consider the waste that occurs from erecting buildings on top of these sand monsters and from the people that occupy them coupled with the lack of an effective recycling program and you have an environmental disaster on your hands. Add to this more gas guzzling SUVs than fuel-efficient cars on the road and the need for 24-hour powerful air-conditioning and its evident that the environment is not high on the priority list of the UAE. So while I’m sure there are benefits to living in Dubai, tax breaks, multi-cultural environments, and beautiful buildings aside, reconsider your plans to move here if any of the above mentioned reasons strikes a chord within you. Dubai is a city caught in an identity crisis. Struggling somewhere between its desire to be a playground for the rich and its adherence to traditional Islamic roots, rests a city that lacks sufficient infrastructure to support its delusions of grandeur. Visit if you must, but leave quickly before you are sucked into its calamitous void". Source: http://www.escapeartist.com/live/2014/03/18/20-reasons-not-to-move-to-dubai/ |
