Hello, you and your likes need some education. Rape could happen multiple times between the same pair. The raped must have had some form of weird admiration for the offender even after being raped. It's a natural phenomenon but it is uncommon. Note that some persons would never realise the abuse they suffered until they are exposed to that knowledge. Some women were abused years back; it took them decades of growing up to realise what went on between them and the now realised offender was an abuse. Some of us, including men, thought we were lucky to have experienced sex with a much older person (we even bragged with it) only for today's truth to burst our bubble and shock us with "you were taken advantage of"...that you were a minor. Rape is rape regardless.

Dentalgist: The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) on Wednesday advised Nigerians to use soap or ash and running water to wash hands after defecation to prevent infection and illness
Mr Bioye Ogunjobi, a Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Specialist with UNICEF, gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.
Ogunjobi said that using water alone is not proper hand washing technique as it could not totally clean the hand.
According to him, faeces is oily and cannot easily come off after using tissue paper or water to clean-up after defecation.
“Proper hand washing means using soap and running water. This is important because when you put water in a bowl to wash your hand, your hand will not be clean because the same dirty water is being used.
“In some rural communities, they use ash which is also a cleaning reagent. It works.
“Why it is important for you to use running water and soap after defecation is because faeces is oily and even when you use tissue paper or water to clean up, it will still stick to your fingers and it takes running water, soap or ash to take it out.
”Only or ordinarily water cannot take away faeces from your fingers. This is why we try to promote proper hand washing which is the use of soap or ash and running water and proper scrubbing of the hands, ” he said.
Ogunjobi said that lack of proper hand washing could cause various diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, typhoid and intestinal worm infections.
“People frequently touch their eyes, nose, and mouth without even realising it. Germs can get into the body through the eyes, nose and mouth and make us sick.
“Diarrhea is the second largest killer of children in Nigeria and Africa as a whole, and there is a study that proper hand washing will reduce diarrhea by about 48 per cent.
“Typhoid is also sanitation related and we have also had cases of cholera outbreaks in some states in Nigeria, especially during raining season. With proper handwashing, cases of cholera outbreaks and typhoid will reduce drastically.
“Worm infestation is also common among children. If we practice good sanitation such as proper hand washing after defecation, many diseases will be prevented, “Ogunjobi said
gentlemayor: Musician born in UK given 14 days to leave the country
Bumi Thomas has been told she is illegal despite being born in Glasgow and spending most of her life in the UK
A musician born in the UK faces being kicked out of her home because of a little-known change to Home Office legislation.
Bumi Thomas was given 14 days to leave after being told she is illegal despite living here most of her life. The rising jazz star grew up thinking she was British, attended university in the UK and has legally worked and paid taxes since graduation.
However because her parents are Nigerian, she now faces deportation and being separated from her family and friends. The situation bears a chilling resemblance to the Windrush scandal, which saw many people deported in error after decades of life in the UK.
Ms Thomas was born in Glasgow in June 1983 to parents who came over from Africa in the early 1970s. In January 1983, Margaret Thatcher’s Tory government changed the British Nationality Act that removed the automatic right of citizenship for children of parents from former colonies.
The singer’s parents should have registered her but were unaware they needed to do so. In a twist of irony, Ms Thomas’ elder sister Kemi was born one year before the Act and has always had legal status.
The musician, 36, believes she is a victim of an increasingly hostile attitude by the Home Office to migrants in the UK. She told the Mail on Sunday: ‘My parents came here at the end of the Windrush era. ‘I had a National Insurance number, I had my birth certificate, I’d got a driving licence, a bank account, I went to college.
‘At no point during that process was there any indication I was doing anything incorrectly.’ Speaking to Metro.co.uk, she continued: ‘I have never had any question in my mind that I’m British and Scottish. ‘And that’s something I’m proud of. But according to a piece of paper, suddenly what I think about myself isn’t valid. It’s an illusion.’
At the age of three-and-a-half, Ms Thomas and her family returned to Nigeria. She came back to the UK as a teenager, thinking she automatically had dual British-Nigerian nationality.
After graduating with a degree in fine arts from Bath Spa University she began to work and moved to London, where she now lives with her sister.
It was only at the age of 25 when she went to apply for her UK passport that she was told she was never registered as British. The Home Office was told she had technically overstayed in an illegal capacity.
Ms Thomas said her case was classed as ‘complex’ and she was told to use human rights legislation rather than immigration laws to fight it. That marked the start of an ‘exhausting and expensive’ decade-long legal battle.
Two weeks ago she received a letter from the Home Office saying her application for permanent residency had been unsuccessful. She was given 14 days to appeal or face detention without notice.
Ms Thomas has since lodged an appeal and is awaiting a court hearing. The musician, who has performed at the Royal Festival Hall and London Palladium, continued: ‘My parents had no idea of the law change.
‘This was in an analogue age, where correspondence was written and there was no social media.’ She added: ‘When I was told I wasn’t British, I was shocked and devastated.
My soul and my spirit were screaming. ‘Nigeria is foreign to me and I am a foreigner there. I’ve been in the UK for 18 years.’ Ms Thomas’ grandfather came to the UK to study medicine and she said her parents were also given a warm welcome as part of the Windrush generation – when people from former colonies came to the UK to rebuild the country after the Second World War.
She said their treatment was in stark contrast to the way the Home Office was now treating her and thousands of others who ‘fall through the cracks of the system.’ She added: ‘There is a stigma attached to being an immigrant these days.
‘At no point did I ever think I was doing anything wrong. ‘When my parents came over they were welcomed but now it is different. There are people who have lived in the UK for 30/40/50 years facing hostility.’
Ms Thomas continued: ‘The Home Office right now has a hostile environment policy, a set of administrative and legislative measures that are designed to make staying in the UK as difficult as possible for people like me.’
The musician should be making her US debut at the Ford Theatre in Los Angeles in October but the immigration issues mean that is now in doubt. She has launched a gofundme page to help towards legal costs, which are already at £7,000 and rising.
Ms Thomas’s lawyer, Fahad Ahmed, said she missed out on automatic citizenship by a matter of months and added: ‘Courts take a less harsh view than the Home Office, and if someone can prove their life is here, the courts will use their discretion.’
The British Nationality Act 1948 gave citizens of British colonies the right to settle in the UK. Since they had the legal right to come to the UK, they never needed nor were given any documents upon entry. In what later became known as the Windrush scandal, many were wrongly detained, denied legal rights or deported in administrative blunders.
The Home Office is set to pay up to £200 million in compensation to people whose lives were damaged by their mistaken classification as illegal immigrants. The Home Office has been contacted by Metro.co.uk about Ms Thomas’ case.
Me abi confirmed and ogbonge Christian and does not subscribe to MURIC's antics at times. However, this article is spot on. How can the governor of my state or any state whatsoever declare any state as religiously affiliated? I condemn it in the North and condemn it in the South. We operate a circular state. For MURIC, they have to eschew hypocrisy and call out the president of Nigeria for attending IOC meetings. Once more, I am in love with the choice of words of this article.
Who has the luxury of time to read this unnecessary epistle? He has not even spoken to WS but is writing presumptuously. We don forget the mata abegi! Soyinka don trend, pikin too wan trend

I thought I'd write to Mr Cole & share a memory about WS & an airline drama when he was shown great respect indeed. By Olaokun Soyinka

What is Federal Governments own in this mata? Cow sellers and Fulani herdsmen are private business people. They should buy lands from host communities. FG should stop meddling but allow negotiations between farmers and herdsmen. Or they should create the enabling environment for the negotiations. I don't get it.
owisdom58: Shehu Sani, former Kaduna Central Senator, has faulted the Federal Government’s proposed establishment of Ruga settlements for herdsmen in some states of the federation.
He said establishing the settlement without ensuring ensuring a comprehensive inter-communal peace will lead to disaster.
Buhari government had disclosed that it was working towards establishing Ruga settlements for herdsmen in 12 pilot states nationwide.
Mohammadu Umar, the Permanent Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, made this known in Abuja on Tuesday. He said that the farm settlements, when fully established, would address incessant clashes between Fulani cattle rearers and farmers.
Reacting, Sani tweeted: “Establishing a ‘Rugan Fulani’ settlement in some states where spears and swords are flying over heads and without facilitating a comprehensive inter communal peace plan and MOU, will be a recipe for disaster.The architects of the idea are viewing the problem from their tinted windows.”
Dr. John and Lady John are the owners of Greenoak International School, Port Harcourt. He is old, retired, re-retired and truly tired. Why now Bubu? He is a tight friend of TY Danjuma. He served under Babangida as the GMD of NNPC. Nigeria is truly going green in order to save the world. Reduce the amount of youth being used, reuse the old men and recycle the ancestors.

Dr John joined the NNPC in 1974 and rose to become its group managing director (GMD) from 1990-1992.

Recall that Uti Nwachukwu has been praising Cee-C lately over her "achievements", which had him declaring her the most successful 2018 BBNaija housemate. Also after Cee-C got a car today at a ceremony in which she was unveiled as a brand ambassador for Royal hairs, Uti Nwachukwu took a swipe at other housemates of the show and their fans who according to him can't pull her down. He wrote;
"IF I START TO TAAAAAAALKKKKK NOW.... dem go begin de experience convulsion and anger and start to Misyan anyhow ���!!! NNA FORGET IT MEN!!!! @ceec_official is ON TOP! ��� and No One can 'successfully' Pull her Down!!�������� hehehehe carry Go Jor!!! Jehovah Gat ya Baaaack�������� from @royalhairs - New brand ambassador @ceec_official unveiled with a Mercedes Benz"
However Alex Ekubo who stepped in to defend his friends, slammed Uti Nwachukwu over the post about Cee-C's car as he told him to stop trying to impress social media users. He wrote;
Nazarethnaza: Naetochukwu Chikwe popularly known as Naeto C, has been appointed as Special Assistant to Governor Emeka Ihedioha of Imo State.

The exercise took place at Kwara Hotel, Ilorin, the state capital, with Naeto, who is the son of Nigeria’s former Aviation minister Kema Chikwe and his committee members headed by Charles Menabbo were on ground to make sure everything was in order.
While I agree 100% with Reno on this, there is a caveat. We should not mistake sounding Nigerian with mispronouncing words. I do not tolerate my foreign colleagues when they mispronounce my name, ditto we shouldn't mispronounce English words in the wind of Nigerianess.
