Please, help me solve this problem that has torn apart and is threatening my happiness, my daughters and probably the future generations yet unborn.

I married my husband just like every other young woman and we both looked forward to a bliss full future with our children. To the glory of God, contrary to the belief of some people that I would have problems bearing children, I received God’s mercy and my three children came few years into our union.

A lot of people believed we would have to wait on the Lord for the blessing of the fruit of the womb as that was the tradition in my husband’s family, but God singled us out with mercy and we had our children without any hitch.

With these, our joy was complete and we never envisaged that these children would be a source of discord in our family in the future.

I am a trained nurse with a B Sc in nursing from Glasgow Scotland, my husband also trained as a professional engineer. We both had good jobs until my husband lost his job and getting another good well paid job became difficult, we both decided that I should travel out of the country to practise and when I am stabilised, he would join me with the children.

As luck would have it, I secured a good job and no sooner had I got to England than my husband secured a good job too. We had it all, which was what we thought. I would have returned immediately, but since my been over there made it convenient for my family to visit on holidays and my children were not too young, I faced my job and sincerely my husband did a good job taking care of the children.

The summer my first daughter turned 18, it was my turn to visit home. When I arrived, I noticed a tensed atmosphere between my daughters and their father. I forgot to mention the fact that I am blessed with three children, two girls and a boy, the boy is the last.

Initially, I thought it was the adolescence – parent’s issue, so I ignored it. But when I noticed that apart from the tensed atmosphere, my first daughter sometimes would be outrightly rude to her father, I demanded to know what was going on. This became a matter of concern because, both of them were very close and my husband addresses her as Iya Mi (My mother) because of the uncanny resemblance she has with my mother-in-law, so I wondered what could have happened.

I tried several times to get my daughters to speak with me and tell me why they treat their father with such impunity, but all they had to say was always talk to your husband. On a faithful day, I had to call my husband’s attention to what I saw and asked him what was going on. He told me it was nothing he couldn’t handle and that I shouldn’t worry myself. According to him, my eldest daughter was keeping bad company in school and she was trying to draw her younger sister into it.

Because of this, he decided to bench them, as he disallowed them from going out and attending parties. He drops them in school and created time to pick them from school. On days that he had to travel, he made plans to get them home. This of course did not go down well with them and he wasn’t ready to bend the rules for now.

I was happy because I knew it was a positive development and because of their age I know this wouldn’t go down well with them. I then ignored their attitude until few days that I wanted to travel back to the UK. I called my eldest daughter first to speak with her. When I raised my observations and my husband’s response with her, her reply threw me off balance.

My daughter told me that daddy does not want her sister and herself to go out because he is having sex with both of them. I thought I didn’t hear her well.

I ask her to repeat what she said, she repeated herself again and asked me to confirm from her sister.

I summoned my younger daughter immediately and she said the same thing. My life crashed that very moment and in asked if they could repeat what they told me before their father. They said they would. When my husband came back from the office, I sought an audience with him and told him what the girls said. He said I was joking and said I should call the girls. I did and they repeated what they told me.

My husband denied vehemently and the girls insisted that it was happening. I was confused and I sought the counsel of our pastor, he called my daughters and they said the same thing. I was confused and I didn’t know who to believe. This shattered my world and my husband became something else. He was hurt that I of all people refused to believe him.

I made arrangement and took my children back to the UK with me. Although it cost me a lot moneywise, but I couldn’t leave my children with him any longer, a lot of things changed for him. He lost all his friends and even some of his family members abandoned him. People alluded a lot of reasons why he would sleep with his daughters. Some said he did it for spiritual purpose. Some said he was using them for money ritual and I also had a reason to think that his fortune changed just after I left, automatically, he must have used my girls.

I didn’t want to have anything to do with him. He tried to make me see that it was the devils machination to destroy our family but I was past caring. I raised my children alone, although he offered to help several times, but I didn’t want to have anything to do with him. I learnt later that he remarried years after we left him. He became ill with psychiatry problem and he had to be remanded in a home.

My son cared about him and he was always communicating with him. As soon as he finished his education, he came back to Nigeria to stay close to his father and it was through him that we learnt of all that was happening to him.

My problems started when it was time for my daughters to get married and they couldn’t find suitors. It wasn’t even an issue of having relationships and experiencing disappointments. They never had dated. Initially, I didn’t see the situation as a problem because I felt they were experiencing psychological problems as a result of what happened during their teenage years.

They went through different counseling and other therapies but it didn’t help. One of my friends suggested that we seek spiritual help when my first daughter turned 36 years. We sought spiritual assistance from our pastor in London, a white man after prayers he said my daughters were suffering from a curse and they needed deliverance. Probably because he was not explicit, we went through several deliverance sessions, but the situation didn’t change.

My elder sister asked us to come back home. After visiting several pastors, we went to see one of the popular Pentecostal pastors in the country. After prayers, he asked my daughters to confess their sins so that they can be free of the curse they placed on themselves. They denied knowledge of what the pastor said.

We left but their situation remained the same. Another friend of mine took us to another church, this time a spiritual church. After prayers, the spiritual head told my daughters that they had destroyed someone’s marital bliss and someone who wasn’t supposed to cry over them shed bitter tears because of what they did. He told us that the only way out is for them to seek the person out, confess their sins and ask for forgiveness.

My eldest sister started to deny again but her sister busted into tears and said she would confess. She said they both lied that their father did not have sex with them. She said her sister asked her to collaborate her story years back because their father does not give them the freedom to do what they wanted.

I was devastated by their confession. The man of God asked them to confess and let everyone who heard what they accused their father of know that they lied. Some of these people are dead. Apart from this, their father is mentally ill and can no identify with his environment. Would he be able to understand and forgive them? I am yet to come to terms with why they destroyed all of us. Right now I have suffered a partial stroke because I still cannot fathom why.

Please ease, where do we start from? My life is full of regrets. Probably, I should have trusted my husband, but as at that time, I couldn’t have done otherwise. Please, help me.

Gen. Buhari To Serving Govt Officials- ‘Stay Away From My Residence…Walks Out Customs, NSCDC Boss
The president elect has issued a red card to serving top government officials who in recent times besieged his residence in Daura, Katsina to lobby for retention of their positions.
Buhari, was livid last week when the current Comptroller-General of Customs, Abdullahi Dikko Inde, visited his residence in Daura to pay homage. Per Second News learnt that the customs boss who coincidentally hails from, Musawa Local Government Area, Katsina state immediately after informing the President-Elect of his mission was advised to go back to his duty post.
Dikko, shocked by Buhari’s response tried unsuccessfully to inform the retired General of the situation at all Nigeria’s borders, seaport and the airports, but the President-elect upbraided the 55 year-old that the ideal procedure is to wait until he has been sworn in as president, describing the visit as unhealthy, unethical and disloyalty to a government he is still serving.
He thereafter asked the customs boss to leave his residence, rejecting also his gift items.
The Comptroller general and his team hurriedly left the residence, parking the valuables and gifts items along.
The visit of the current Commandant-General of the NSCDC, Ade Abolurin, on Sunday was more comical, he arrived Daura, the residence of the President-Elect with top officers of the corps, photographers and some members of the press.
According to a member of the Buhari Campaign from Katsina, “The President-Elect was having his normal quiet time when the delegation arrived”. The corps officers led by its commandant were left outside in the scorching sun for over an hour, before the the commandant and two corps officers were allowed entry into the President-elect’s visitors room
Abolurin, still recuperating from a fire burn incident got the shock of his life when an aide of Buhari, said that the retired General wants him out of his residence and will not be seeing him.
Dumbfounded the corps officers left in a haste to the surprise of other delegation members outside, who were waiting and hoping to see the president-elect and take photographs with him.
Per Second News can authoritatively report that a serving minister last week also sent emissaries to the president-elect in a bid to secure a private meeting.
Private business tycoons are not left out of the visits, Forte Oil CEO, Femi Otedola, and Oando boss Adewale Tinubu also visited Buhari last week.  The national leader of the APC, Ahmed Bola Tinubu, shortly before the governorship elections brought the Chagoury brothers to meet with the president-elect in a closed door meeting.
Per Second News gathered that the deluge of top current serving government officials and visitors reaching out to General Buhari at this material time has turned his Daura home to a new Mecca.

He paid bk d cash when he got it. 2yrs later d house rent was increased to 700,000 and this man became upset. So he begged d agent to introduce him to d landlord so dat he cld talk wit him bt d agent bluntly refused. The man decided to do an underground investigation to uncover who d landlord is. The revelation of his investigation really shook him- d house belongs to his wife. My question is if u were d man what would u do? And as d woman wat would u say to ur marriage?

Tragedy was averted on Monday morning after fire engulfed the studio of the African Independent Television, Lagos State.

Our correspondent learnt that the fire started at 9am after an air conditioner in the studio was affected by high voltage electricity.

Men of the Lagos State Fire Service from Agege, Ikeja and Alausa divisions were said to have been mobilised to the scene around 9.30am in three water trucks.

Director of Fire Service, Rasak Fadipe, said his men arrived the scene 15 minutes after it got a call.

He said it took another 15 minutes to put out the fire.

He said, “The fire was caused by high voltage. We arrived at the scene at 9.30am and we spent about 15 minutes for active firefighting operations.

“Only the AC was badly damaged as we were able to curtail the spread of the fire. The management of the station had also combatted it and they must be commended for having all the fire equipment.”
Fadipe advised residents of the state to be safety conscious, adding that, although the harmattan period was over, the atmosphere is now warm which could also support fire

TOTO DEY HUNGRY ME! HELP!!!


Ever since i caught my girlfriend cheating, i decided to stay away from her. I am not in mood for any relationship for now but i want a constant source of sex. It's been almost 8 days i last had sex and it's really affecting me. I do have pains in my scrotum if i don't have sex every 3 days. I'm currently sex starved at the moment and it's killing me silently. I need ladies on here to please bail me out. Please PM me so we can share contacts and get to meet up. Remember i want sex only, not relationships. Thanks

M brother in the Lord, I beseech and humbly counsel that you go for sexual deliverance. Appears devil has already built a shopping complex in ur heart

Though, I'm yet to watch the movie "october 1st", i'd always believed a related movie written and produced by Chiamanda Adichie"Half of a yellow sun "was better. I think I need to watch the movie.
Let someone hint where I can get d movie, pls.

I think his parents need to consult a pastor to set him free from the spirit mugumandu..........lolz

Got this piece from one of the Ghanian's newspapers and felt like sharing.
Kindly describe the action of this innocent guy, pls.

The truth is that, this is a made up story. You are not a good story teller my bros.
Well, for the sake of those who truly need an advice on this......this is a sin against yourself. Firstly, u shld hav a genuine repentance and forgive yourself, then you info your pastor, who wld then take you before your wife.

Unfortunately, few minutes ago I forwarded a customized love text message meant for my girlfriend to my wife and don't know what to tell my wife now. Sincerely, I don't know what to do. I hope this val has not brought unprepared for issues to my home..

National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (ACP), Alhaji Lai Mohammed, speaks with KATE ANI on issues bordering on the build-up to next month’s general elections. Excerpts:

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused APC of being behind the attacks on President Goodluck Jonathan’s convoy in the North during his campaign. What is your take on that?

It is not so. After all, even the governor of Bauchi State, Isa Yuguda, who is a member of the PDP, confirmed that it was PDP that is responsible for the attacks; that it was the fallout of a political rivalry between him and Minister for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). In Katsina, it was again the PDP that was responsible. In Plateau, it was infighting in the PDP. So, nobody can hold us responsible for the violence.

Are you saying this because you are an APC member?

Is Yuguda also a member of the opposition party?

What is your take on the hoopla about General Muhammadu Buhari’s certificate? While some are saying that he forged his certificate, others kept asking why he lied under oath about its whereabouts. Don’t you think it will affect his chances of winning the election?

On the contrary, I think what Nigerians are saying is that even if all he has to show is a NEPA bill, they will vote for him. If you look at the polls conducted by AIT (African Independent Television) recently, they had to shut it down because Buhari was beating Jonathan by 75 per cent. Having said that, the issue of certificate is cooked up by the PDP because they know that Buhari is a threat to them and more than qualified to win the election. Where was PDP in 2011, 2007 and 2003, when he (Buhari) contested for the presidential election? Are you saying that a man who used to be a General in the Nigerian Army does not have a privilege of a school certificate? Can anybody in his right sense except PDP, who are so desperate, start peddling this kind of rumour?

Why do you think the PDP is laying emphasis on his qualifications?

Because they are terrified that he is going to win.  You see, all looters, all saboteurs, all corrupt people are afraid of Buhari coming to power and they are taking all measures to weaken his growing popularity. But the common people want him to win the election because he is going to clean this country.

But he has contested three times and lost. What makes you think he will be lucky this time?

If you failed at something once, twice or thrice, won’t you try again?

If he loses the election, do you think he will concede defeat and congratulate Jonathan?

You should ask Jonathan that question; that if Buhari wins, will he congratulate him because from all indications, he is going to win? And again, help us ask Jonathan why he wants to postpone the election.

Jonathan never said he wanted the election postponed; the statement was credited to the National Security Adviser…

 Go to page eleven of Wednesday’s Punch Newspaper and see the advertorial by the PDP. That will convince you beyond doubt that it is Jonathan that is behind the planned postponement of the election.

The National Security Adviser said the reason is the problem of distribution of PVCs to voters.

If INEC (Independent National Electoral Commission) tells us that they are ready for election, so be it. It is not for the NSA to tell us that election will not hold anywhere. He has no cause to say that.

You recently alleged that Dr Doyin Okupe said Jonathan said he would rather have the military take over than hand over power to the APC candidate.  How true was the statement and don’t you think you are heating up the polity with such a claim?

Yes, he did say that and Doyin Okupe has not denied it and neither has the presidency denied it. They should not try anything funny, because it won’t be easy for them.

What are the chances of APC winning the election next month?

I am sure we are going to win the election, by the grace of God, if it is free and credible. In fact, it must be free, fair and credible. The only person that can make the election free and fair is the president, if he decides to be neutral. He controls the security agencies and INEC.

What will Buhari do differently to improve the economy if elected the president?

He will act on the manifesto of our party which believes that Nigeria must be weaned from dangerous addiction to oil. Today, oil alone accounts for 80 per cent of our public spending. That is why when the price of oil goes down, we would be in trouble. So, what Buhari will do is to invest in the productive sector like agriculture and look at other areas like tourism and sport which, we are sure, will grow our economy. As a party, we will move Nigeria forward, again, by investing massively in public work programmes.

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has deplored Buhari’s statement on his commitment to Sharia. People are afraid that he might Islamise Nigeria. That is probably the reason Bishop Oyedepo allegedly threatened to open the gate of hell on those who don’t want peace to reign in the country. Do you think Buhari will get the support of Christians?

I would rather not comment on Bishop Oyedepo. However, whoever says that Buhari will Islamise Nigeria is being mischievous and ignorant. Buhari was Head of State between 1984 and 1985. The Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters, Major General Tunde Idiagbon, was also a Muslim, yet, he did not turn Nigeria into an Islamic state. So, how can you now say that Buhari will Islamise Nigeria?

Some of your critics call you ‘Lying’ (Lai) Muhammed, accusing you of distorting facts and using propaganda to prosecute opposition politics. How would you react to this?

I don’t care what they call me but let them fight me with facts and not on emotions. Let them come out and tell me one thing that I have said that is not true. They know that I am very blunt and I say things as they are. So, whoever calls me ‘Lying’ Muhammed should be checked.

Buhari says that he is poor, but can he really be, being a former Head of State. It was even alleged that his nomination form was bought for him by Timipre Sylvia?

I don’t know who bought his form for him, but on the issue of his financial status, you should ask Buhari himself. But on a more serious note, he is the only Nigerian I know to have been a minister, head of state and yet, has no personal house in either Lagos or Abuja. What is bothering some people is the man’s integrity. He is the only man who refused to accept, on the grounds of morality, N23 million that is paid monthly to former heads of state. He would rather take only 10 per cent of it. Why are people worried that he is upright, honest? He is the kind of man we need in Nigeria today to help us fight corruption, which has brought us to where we are today.

So, who are the moneybags behind Buhari?

I will name them now. The moneybags behind Buhari are the masses of this country.

What is your take on NCC’s ban on your party’s platform to donate money to his campaign?

It is just another plot of the PDP not to provide a level playing ground. If they can advertise on television, radio and newspapers, is telephone not also a means of communication?  And yet, everyday, private companies use this telephone for their promotions, to sell their products, sell houses and even pass information about their companies. Why is it now criminal or wrong for APC to also use that platform to raise money? We are taking them to court and have already started the process.

What is the guarantee that elections will be successful in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states? 

INEC has assured that they would conduct elections there and we don’t need further proof or assurance.

Lagos State PDP has vowed to take over the state this year…

They vowed in 2003, 2007 and 2011. Let them continue to vow, don’t stop them. We are used to their empty vows.

The party’s governorship candidate in the state, Jimi Agbaje, was one of you in the Alliance for Democracy (AD). Are you still relating with him?

On a personal note, yes. I have known him since our days in the University of Ife. Of course, we relate very well, why not?

Your press release, in which you asked the president to look in the mirror, has been described as demeaning the office and the person of the president. What do you say to that?

You see, Jonathan is a politician and I am also a politician and when I asked Jonathan to look in the mirror and see who really he is referring to, it was a reaction to Jonathan’s statement. You see, you must understand one thing: if you don’t like a smell and cannot stand the heat, you should get out. You can’t be in politics and expect that your opponents will not throw bricks at you or laugh at you. The problem here is that these people lack sense of humour. Because you are the president doesn’t mean that the opposition should be pampering you. It happens everywhere in the world. Why should we have this mentality that because he is the president, we should not criticise him?

What is your take on the European Union’s decision not to monitor election in the North-East?

They have a right to say that. We are talking about their safety, their lives. That does not mean that we are not holding elections in the North-East.

Why is it that many APC and PDP leaders in Lagos have their children contesting elections and shut out others?

My child happens to be one of them and they all have constitutional rights. If, for instance, 40 people are contesting for the House of Assembly and there are three or four politicians’ children among them, I don’t think there is anything to it. They are Nigerians and have the right to contest. It is left for the voters to decide whether or not they want them.

Many people believe that Senator Bola Tinubu is the one bankrolling Buhari’s election campaign and that Buhari may become his puppet when he gets to power…

Is it possible in democratic settings to hijack power from the president or become a politician’s puppet? People simply have a morbid fear of Tinubu. That is simply ridiculous. 

What is your take on Governor Ayo Fayose’s advertorial against Buhari?

Frankly speaking, that advertorial is consistent with the personality of Fayose.  Who else can do that kind of advertisement if not him?

APC is notorious for reacting to attacks. How come you people haven’t reacted to it?

We did but our comment was more civilised than the advert.

How do you unwind?

By treating questions as we are doing now. I am enjoying myself as we speak.

I'm watching with keen interest. Time will tell!

Majority of Nigerians don't really understand the function and roles of DSS. I think we shld be grateful that someone is coming to tell us what's behind the current scarcity instead of throwing flaks at Ogar.
For records, be informed that it's part of the statutory roles of DSS to resolve labour crisis before it develops to what we are presently experiencing.

May God comfort the bereaved . RIP to the dead ! what a sad situation !!
