Celebrities / "I'm Never Buying Expensive Clothes For My Kids Again" - Seun Kuti by weIMPORT: 2:32pm On Aug 13, 2018
Afro beat singer Seun Kuti has said that he will no longer buy expensive clothes for his children as they quickly outgrow them and at the end of the day, the clothes turn out to be a waste of money.

He decided to rant after his daughter can no longer fit into an expensive dress he recently bought for her and according to him, judging the cost of the dress, it is supposed to grow alongside the girl

The singer then went ahead to mention that the expensive clothing and brands Africans go for is more or less comparable to modern day slavery.

"I remember this day very vividly. Never buying expensive clothes for my kids. Can’t tell u how much I bought that effing dress she’s wearing. These brands are sucking the life out of black people!!

The attachment to the ‘brand’ and ‘branding’ still has the same effect as slavery trust me. Gucci gang naaaah more like Gucci’s slave. Well back to my personal rant. Now I asked @chefyeide for it and she says. Haba she is four now she can’t fit in it anymore, whaaaaaaat really? For that price this dress should grow with @adarakuti if that’s not the case GET THE SAX.

Crime / Fulani Herdsmen Allegedly Attack Passengers Along Benin-ore Expressway by weIMPORT: 2:07pm On Aug 13, 2018
A Nigerian lady identified as Maka has taken to twitter to narrate on how the bus she was traveling in was attacked by Fulani Herdsmen along the Benin-Ore Expressway.

According to her, she was on her way to Lagos from Owerri and just some few mile after Ore, the attackers appeared from the forest and stood in the middle of the road to attack on-coming vehicles.

It took the swift action taken by their driver who decided not to stop, but rather accelerated and took the attackers by surprise as they scampered for safety.

Read her full story as narrated on theofficialmaka.com

My mum and I left for Owerri as early as we could since we were to head back to Lagos the following day. We woke up early, got to the park, I wrote down our names in the manifest (with fake numbers just to "stick it to the man" I guess. Lol). Anyway, the beginning of the journey was pretty much the usual; a "preacher" got in to "spread the word" and was able to get the passengers to give him money just before he got down not too far from the park.

Despite the fact that I halfheartedly listened to what he said, I still said my very silent "Amens" because I had the fear of the Lord and I wasn't about to tempt Him before an 8 hour long journey to Lagos.

As soon as the "preacher's" session was over, I put my earpiece on, ready for the journey. Not too long after, I heard faint singing through the music buzzing in my ears. At this point, I was irritated at the interruptions I was faced with. Apparently, a passenger had started her own round of inside-the-bus church service. Again, I reluctantly joined them in prayers just to be safe with the Big Guy. Again, I put my earpiece in when that was over. The journey continued smoothly.

We got to the ever popular Ore at about 12noon which was pretty decent considering we left Imo at 8:30am. The driver announced that we would be spending 30minutes, people objected to this, saying that it was such a long time to spend just waiting around doing nothing. Anyway, we all got down to stretch and go for a pee.

My mum and I noticed an elderly man whom she pointed out must have had a severe stroke due to the way one side of his face sagged and how it took him forever to walk. We talked about how sad it made us feel to see him in such pain. We also took a minute to gush over a baby one of the passengers was carrying. She had the fullest, "curliest" and darkest head of hair with the most serious facial expression ever to be worn on a baby which in a weird way, made her look extra cute.

My mum and I also decided to buy some bananas and groundnuts to fill ourselves with while waiting for the driver to show up. He finally did and boy, were we happy! Little did we know what lay ahead of us a couple hours away...

As usual, I put my earpiece back in and decided to play a game of Solitaire (its probably the only game I know how to play). Only this time, I was interrupted by what I sensed was chaos. I looked up from my phone just in time to see my bus hit a silver jeep right in front of us and in the blink of an eye, it swerved in the other direction (apparently, it had seen attackers in front and was trying to escape them, but he braked so suddenly that we hit him with full force and the impact sent him flying. Then again, who hits the brakes when things like this happen?

You accelerate the F outta there and clear anyone in your path - but I digress) As this was happening, a group of men holding machetes and guns raced towards us, trying to take advantage of the fact that we had had an accident.

At this point, I threw myself over my mum who was seated in front as best as I could to protect her (not sure what good that would have done if things had gone sideways now that I think about it). My mum was already screaming "blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus!", a phrase that was chorused in unison by other passengers.

One of the attackers came straight for my mum but his machete barely missed her window because the bus driver really stepped on his accelerator with all the strength he could muster with me beside him shouting "don't stop! Keep moving!" as loudly and calmy as I could. I felt he needed to feel like he wasn't in this alone.

Just ahead of us were 2 other attackers waiting for us in the middle of the road. Again, I kept repeating to the driver that he dared not stop or slow down. Thankfully, he didn't. At this point, I should hail this driver. He really held it down for everyone in the bus.

The attackers waiting ahead realized that our bus showed no signs of slowing down, so they ran off but not without trying to swing their weapons as closely at us as they could. At this point, the bus was crying for help. Remember we had an accident earlier. The bus was smoking but we kept moving till we were sure it was safe enough to stop.

We finally parked at a village and got down to say our prayers, catch our breaths and check the damage done to the bus. As usual, the villagers gathered around us. When we told them what happened, they echoed one another, giving our attackers a name, Fulani Herdsmen. My brain blew up!!!! Maka and her mum were just attacked by Fulani Herdsmen? Whaaaaaaaaa?!!!

I started to really panic (like I wasn't scared before) and my only priority at that point was to get my mum and myself out of that village because I felt the attackers would come back. I decided to leave the small group that had formed around the bus to hitchhike. I held up my long maxi dress, adjusted my pink silk scarf to look decent enough for the task I was about to take on. I had never hitchhiked in my life (I only see these things in American movies).

Anyways with my thumb out, I beckoned to cars to stop for me. A lot of them drove past without even looking at me. After what seemed like 20mins, a taxi stopped but sadly, he wasn't going my way. I kept flagging down cars until finally, a black and white Camry stopped. I was so surprised that I didn't even move until I was so sure he stopped for me.

As soon as it clicked that it was for me, I ran all the way to his car, out of breath, I told them what happened. Yes. Them. Two men I didn't know were offering to take me to Lagos for free and I was about to take it. I just kept pleading the blood of Jesus under my breath as I ran back to my mum to tell her the news.

Crime / Woman Falls Into A Well And Dies While Running From A Scorpion In Lagos by weIMPORT: 7:19am On Aug 07, 2018
A woman has fallen to her death while trying to escape from a scorpion in Alaja community, Megida, in the Ayobo area of Lagos State.

The 40-year-old petty trader, Ablavi Hunkpati, fell into an abandoned well and died, PUNCH Metro reports.

Our correspondent learnt that after failed attempts by residents, relatives and sympathisers to rescue her, officials of the Lagos State Fire Service were called to the scene.

Her remains were subsequently recovered and handed over to the police by officials of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency.

The Togolese woman, her husband and their four children were said to have lived in the house for over 20 years.

A resident, who did not identify himself, said the incident happened on Saturday around 2pm.

He said:

“The woman has been living in the house for over than 20 years. As of the time she packed in, that well had been abandoned. Usually, people sit and relax on the planks used to cover the well. She was trying to run from a scorpion. She rested on the planks, which gave way. That was how she fell into the well and died.”

The abandoned well was at the entrance into the victim’s room and parlour apartment.

The house had also been cordoned off by security operatives.

A relative of Hunkpati, who identified himself only as David, showed our correspondent a bottle of soft drink he bought for her before the incident.

He said:

“She kept the drink on a drum and wanted to rid the planks on the well of insects because children usually play around there. She had finished cleaning the place when she fell.”

David explained that the victim had sighted a scorpion, and panicked when she fell into the well.

“She screamed and we rushed to see how to help her, but it was too late. She had died before anyone could do anything because the well is over 100 feet deep. We called the fire service, but when they came, it was too late,” he added.

It was learnt that the victim’s husband and children had gone to Togo to break the news to other family members.

The Public Affairs Officer of the Lagos State Fire Service, Mrs Bola Ajao, who spoke for the acting Director, Rasak Musibau, said firefighters arrived as soon they received a distress call about the incident.

She said:

“We received the distress call around 2.59pm and the Abesan Fire Station, being the closest to the area, responded. The officials arrived at the scene around 3.06pm. By the time they got there, it was discovered that some of the victim’s relatives had lowered themselves into the well with ropes. They, however, could not bring her out. The fire service men recovered the woman’s corpse.

“We have been telling residents that no matter how little an emergency may appear, they should always get in touch with emergency workers. The person who tried to bring the deceased’s woman out was not trained in safety techniques and it is possible that it was in the process of dragging her with ropes that the situation aggravated.”

A suspected kidnapper, who took some dosage of tramadol before his planned operation, has slept off while in the house of the victim.

Romance / 60-year Old Man Plans To Make His Advanced Sex Doll A Full Time Girlfriend by weIMPORT: 5:59pm On Aug 06, 2018
The 60-year-old man from Californian, who goes by the alias Brick Dollbanger and claims to have spent £150k on sex dolls over the years, described owning £11.7k 'Harmony' as fantastic - but says a forthcoming setting allowing her to physically respond to pre-intimacy will make the experience even better.

The father-of-two described the Harmony doll from California-based company Realbotix as a "work of art" during an interview with the Daily Star..

The firm claims the new setting, called X Mode, will allow Harmony to "fulfil your wildest sexual desires".

The doll is already able to remember its owner's favourite food, film and music, and Brick said X Mode would also allow it to responds verbally to different actions.

“It’s a sensor that can tell when she’s being jostled around," he said.

“When she’s switched in the X mode the sensor will go live, she’s going to know what you’re doing."


Brick said companionship was the driving factor behind his decision to buy a sex doll and claimed other lonely punters were also seeking the same thing.

Brick, who has spent around £150,000 on sex dolls in the past decade, once said he has more fun with them than his 1980s Corvette.

The rise in availability of artificially intelligent sex robots has caused concern among psychological experts, who believe it may fuel a rise in sex addiction.

Crime / Police Arrest Pastor After Married Lover Died During An Abortion In Edo by weIMPORT: 5:41pm On Aug 06, 2018
An Edo Pastor of the Christ Chosen Church of God, Ngbeken Elvis,32, has been arrested by the police in State over the death of a married mother of four, who was his lover.

The Nation reports that the deceased died while carrying out an abortion for the pregnancy she had for Pastor Elvis whom she had been secretly dating for over six months.

The deceased whose husband is based abroad, resided in a house he built for her and their children in Egor community in the state.

She started seeing the pastor early this year and after many sexual encounters, she became pregnant. In order to save face and cover their shame, the couple resorted to terminating the pregnancy.

However, the abortion did not go as planned as she suffered serious complications. She was being rushed to another hospital for treatment when she gave up.

When interrogated, the clergyman who got married in 2016, denied knowing she was pregnant and had gone for an abortion.

He said his late lover used to give him N2000 which he used in running errands for her.

“I was just posted to Okhokhugbo branch when I got suspended because of my marriage. I know this Mama Sarah when she was ill. I prayed for her and she promised to reward me.

We started dating but the children were not aware. When one of her daughters wanted to raise suspicion after some neighbours questioned my continued visit to their house, she threatened to throw her out of the house.

She asked me to move into their house three months ago before I could get an apartment and I was staying there. I am an orphan. I didn’t plan to get into this mess. She didn’t tell me she was pregnant.

I was not aware she went to procure abortion. I am really ashamed. I prayed God to forgive me. I am now remorsed. She used to give me N1000 or N2000 to run errands for her.”

Celebrities / Banky W And Ubi Franklin Talk On How To Overcome Depression And Suicidal Thought by weIMPORT: 6:55pm On Aug 02, 2018
Music personalities Banky W and Ubi Franklin have spoken out on how to overcome depression and suicidal thoughts, which are two common 'plagues' affecting Nigerians at the moment.

While speaking at a masterclass event themed “Dealing with Depression”, Made Men Music Group (MMMG)record label founder, Ubi Franklin, shared a personal history of depression.

Ubi who spoke on the masterclass which was focused on the principles of human flourishing, well-being and living a life leveraging positive emotions, healthier habits and powerful self-awareness practices, shared stories about his previous suicidal thoughts.

According to TheCable, the father-of-one explained the need to avoid creating negative pictures in the mind or attaching importance to specific dates that represent bad moments, but instead use such days or moments as an impetus for success.

Banky W talks on how to overcome depression

He said:

“There’s never a right moment to commit suicide. It’s all about the mind. Depression is usually created through silent pressure which will create a negative mindset, perception, or the compulsion to live our lives in order not to disappoint our parents, families or communities.”

Popular singer, Banky W, who also spoke at the event, shared a deeply personal exploration of how he dealt with and overcame depression, and recommended a “love yourself enough to try” attitude to life.

Crime / Man Shocked To Discover His Dead Baby Was A Doll After Girlfriend Deceived Him by weIMPORT: 6:39pm On Aug 02, 2018
A grieving father who thought his newborn dead baby who had been earlier buried actually died of natural cause, was shocked to find out his girlfriend had faked the pregnancy after he saw a doll buried inside his dead baby’s coffin.

Melvin Mendoza discovered the newborn baby he was grieving for had never even existed after he and his friends dug up the tiny white coffin and found a doll in it, instead of a human baby. His partner, Rosa Castellanos Diaz, had reportedly spent nine months pretending to be pregnant with twins.

It is reported that her actions were a bizarre attempt to keep her “wayward” partner by her side, although this has not been confirmed.

Last Friday morning, Rosa left her village home and took a bus to the Honduras’ capital Tegucigalpa, claiming she was heading for the city’s Escuela Hospital to give birth to her baby.

That night, she reportedly called Melvin, a member of the Honduran Armed Forces, to tell him the sad news that child had died while being delivered.

The grief-stricken father and his relatives put on a wake and awaited the arrival of his partner and the “dead child”.

Rosa reportedly arrived at noon the next day, carrying the coffin. However, she told loved ones they could not see the “baby” as the hospital had sealed the box and prohibited her from opening it.

The funeral took place at her local graveyard in El Coyolar, Honduras. Family and friends took turns to carry the “deceased twin’s” coffin before bidding an emotional farewell to them.

Rosa also told everyone that she had left the other twin being cared for in the hospital. But the next day, Melvin’s pals reportedly began to doubt Rosa’s story.

They expressed fears that Rosa had invented the story to convince Melvin not to leave her, so they decided to return to the graveyard to dig up the coffin with him. When they did, they found a plastic doll dressed up as a baby inside.

Shocking footage, shared on Twitter by shows the doll lying inside the open coffin by the side of the exhumed grave.

One, Ismael Mejia, told Honduras’ El Heraldo newspaper:

“The whole thing didn’t seem right. So in the night we went to the cemetery to dig it up. When we pulled out the box, to our surprise what we found inside was a doll, dressed up as if it were a child.

“We took the coffin to the police so they could see that we didn’t take the child out of the box and replace it with a doll.”

After discovering the alleged trick, Melvin reportedly decided not to press charges against Rosa.

Romance / You Won't Believe How Much This Man Got After Posting His Account On Twitter by weIMPORT: 9:17am On Aug 02, 2018
A Nigerian man has taken to twitter to share a rather hilarious screenshot from a credit alert he received from someone on twitter after he posted his account details to request for assistance.

In these hard times, it’s rare to see someone be so generous as to give money to a total stranger on social media, but that was not the case here, as this twitter user identified as Jimi received a generous amount from his online benefactor.

Jimi tweeted ;

Lmaoooo Twitter is mad
I posted my account number in a thread and someone sent me 10 naira
Lmaoooo
I dey laugh like fool for here
Please who is Fasaanu Olumide? You no well at all I swear

Twitter just seems to be the site to get all the humours one needs to stay happy, especially in this trying times.

Meanwhile, a Nigerian lady by the name Winnie has also taken to the platform to itemize the list of the qualities husband must possess.

According to her, he must be a first class candidate, both academically and in thoughts.

The lady then went ahead to mention that he must also have a very good job, which could either be a government or multi-national job.

However, she also mentioned that he must be God-fearing and money does not really matter as that can easily come by. You can read about that here

Celebrities / I Can't Be With A Man Who Can't Last 1 Hour In Bed - Actress Eniola Odunsi by weIMPORT: 8:55am On Aug 02, 2018
Nollywood Actress, Eniola Odunsi has stated that she cannot condone a man who can't last up to an hour on bed.

The actress, who revealed this during an interview with yorubamoviegist.com, while celebrating her birthday in Benin Republic last week.


According to her,

“i am so delighted to see another year. I give God all the glory. In the last 365 days, a lot has happened, many souls have gone but God spared my life till date.

“My career is improving day by day. It is not by my power but it is God’s wish”.

On what marriage means to her, Eniola, who is one of the Nigerian entertainers keeping a scandal free profile, revealed that:

“Marriage is not for everybody but it is a good thing that is expected from a reliable man and a woman.

It is not something you rush into because if you make such move simply because of what people are saying or pressure from your family, my dear you will rush out.

“So, I want to take my time before I pick a man who will be my husband till Jesus come”.

On your last question, I am not the type who sleeps around. Many of today’s guys are not reliable. Many take drugs before getting down with a woman which I am not interested in.

“If you must have anything with me as a man, you must be very strong in bed. I am ready to marry a man who can satisfy me sexually, at least for an hour.

“That automatically gives him assurance that I won’t jilt him.

It is very disheartening hearing that a married woman is cheating on her husband.

One of the problems that can influence such, is when you don’t satisfy her sexually or not caring about her. I have pledged not to cheat on my husband and that is the main reason i am still single”, Odunsi explained.

Afro singer Femi Kuti and his sister Yeni have both called out one of their band members who absconded before a show in the United States of America.

The man identified as Aghedo Andrew was slated to perform with the band and every trace of him could not be located just at the point when he was utmost needed in the band.

Femi took to Twitter to narrate how bitter he was about the incident, but took time to praise other band members who held it down and ensured the show went smoothly.

He wrote:

My bassist Aghedo Andrew nearly ruined my concert yesterday in New York @SummerStage ,He disappeared 20mins before show time. I want to thank the rest of the band for standing strong and giving one of the best shows of the tour.

He has a good job. Paid quite well. Has enough money to resign properly and with all visas in his passport he can travel anywhere in the world. So that’s not an excuse.

He was then told by a follower not to worry about him as he will surely be fished out by ICE and Femi Kuti replied

I'm not worried. Still have dedicated musicians that are committed to holding the integrity of the music.

Not long after then, his sister Yeni Kuti also took to her Instagram page to call out the guy and even tagged President Donald Trump to notify him of the guy's action and hope that he is deported back to Nigeria and then disgraced.

She wrote:

The face of betrayal. I hope @realdonaldtrump catches you and deports you!!! Deserted band 20mins before concert because he wants to stay in America

A man identified as Emeka has taken to his twitter timeline to narrate his bitter experience in the hands of fake SARS officers, whom he claimed wanted to extort him of N500,000.

According to the report given by the man on the social media platform, the men threatened to kill him and also rape his girlfriend if they didn't provide the ransom, because it already looked like a kidnapping incident.

Though, when he was queried by one of his followers on twitter if they were either fake or drunk SARS officers, he couldn't give a coherent answer. He simply stated that they were drunk and eventually took N40,000 from them before they zoomed off in their car.

He wrote:

Yesterday at about 11:30pm I was pullover and estorted by some fake SARS officers who threatened to kill me and rape my friend if we don’t give them 500k...

Romance / Japanese Company Uses Young Ladies’ Armpits As Advertising Space by weIMPORT: 8:35pm On Jul 26, 2018
Japanese company uses young ladies’ armpits as advertising space

A Japanese advertising company has come up with a unique way to get its clients’ products to the attention of the target audience, by placing advertisements on young ladies' armpits

The Wakino Ad Company, which recently began operations, has released photos on its website showing how this ad strategy could be used by recruitment portals, acting schools, detective agencies and more, reported Japanese website SoraNews24.

The ads come in various sizes and are in colour, with “armpit rentals” starting from about 10,000 yen (S$120) an hour.

Already, Wakino has snagged its first client in Japanese beauty treatment and dermatology chain.

Interestingly, the Wakino Ad Company itself is a sort of advertising, as it is owned by Liberta, a beauty products company that specializes in armpit beautifying products.

Showing off the effectiveness of your products while charging other companies advertising fees? Now that’s genius!

Interestingly, Wakino isn’t the first company to use live women as advertising billboards. Back in 2013, Absolute Territory PR made headlines for advertising on young women’s thighs.

Girls interested in having their thighs registered with Absolute Territory must be at least 18 years old, and also have a social media account connected to at least 20 other people. After choosing a sticker ad, they have to wear it for at least eight hours a day, or more, for a set period of time, in order to meet the conditions of the contract and receive payment.

Politics / I’ll Support Any Candidate That’ll Turn Nigeria’s Fortune Around – Obasanjo by weIMPORT: 7:27pm On Jul 26, 2018
Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, has mentioned that he will only give his supports to any Nigerian who will turn the country’s fortune around for good.

He said this on Thursday when he received a former Minister of Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Affairs, Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta.

Turaki, who is a presidential aspirant, came with a 10-man delegation that included a former governor of Adamawa State, Boni Haruna.

Obasanjo reiterated that he would not rest until the fortunes of Nigeria are “turned around for good.”

He identified the dearth of “qualitative leadership” as one of the major challenges confronting Nigeria, adding that men of goodwill must not keep quiet in the face of misrule.

He then called for concerted efforts from the political class towards providing the country with better leadership.

He said:

“Let me say that what is happening here today or what you’re making to happen with your delegation particularly gladdens my heart.

“You are firming up and stabilising our democracy. Democracy is not a destination but a journey and there is no nation that can claim to have reached the final destination.

“It is good for us as a nation and our democracy. We have said a lot of things that we have identified about what we need to put right as a country. What do we lack? Why are we not where we should be?

“We are so divided today the way we have not been before. People are deprived socially and economically. But you know, I have never lost hope.

While speaking with journalists after the meeting, Turaki said he came to pay respect to the former president and also to intimate him with his presidential ambition in 2019.

He said the indivisibility of the country remained non-negotiable.

He also accused the All Progressives Congress-led administration of “incompetence” due to its “inability to resolve some of Nigeria’s many challenges.”

He said:

“The meeting has been a very fruitful one. We have discussed openly, honestly and frankly about the current situation in this country and like always, Baba was of tremendous guidance to us.

“Baba has spoken in his vintage way of speaking passionately about the situation in Nigeria.

“We believe that our indivisibility as one and united nation is given and it is non-negotiable. We feel that our unity is also non-negotiable.”

Politics / APC To PDP Defection: No Man Of Honour Will Return To His Vomit - Oshiomole by weIMPORT: 9:17am On Jul 24, 2018
National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, has scolded his party members on their planned defection to the PDP and he said that there is no man of honor who will want to go back to his vomit.

Oshiomole's comment comes amidst rumors of Saraki, Dino Melaye, Aminu Tambuwal and many other APC chieftains, planning to defect to the opposition party.

The party National Chairman said this when he spokes with state house correpsondents after having a meeting in the Presidential Villa, Abuja. Oshiomole also said he is in no way losing sleep over threats made by members of the Reformed-APC to leave the party.

“No, I am not losing sleep. I am sleeping very well. I still maintain that I don’t see any man of honour who with his eyes open left the PDP on the account of their gross mismanagement, abuse of the treasury and all of the crimes that the PDP committed; I don’t see them, whatever their irritations, that can be justifications, to return to that house. All we need to do is to play back their own tape about what the PDP represents and why they left. I still hold the view that you cannot vomit in the morning and convert it to lunch in the afternoon, if you have honour. That position still remains the same.

“Throughout the weekend and up till today (Monday), many of the national dailies reported different stories with the impression that I have not been sleeping within the last one week as a result of alleged midnight meetings with aggrieved party members, who they say I have been begging not to leave the party.

“In some of the reports, the insinuations even went as far as saying that I made juicy offers to the aggrieved party members in stopping them from defecting. While I will not be too direct in reacting to such reports here, I will only say though I have been meeting aggrieved party members over whatever injustices they felt the party or some chieftains of the party had done to them. I have not been having sleepless nights as being reported, and also I am not in any way jittery.

“Rapprochement move, as far as I am concerned, is not an act of cowardice but a desirous endeavour in making peace since you can’t decree peace but only work for it. So, in a nutshell, I am not ashamed of doing that as chairman of a great party. To those who the rapprochement moves are being directed to, we want them to appreciate that we are more or less trying to prevent them from making a blunder of dumping palm wine for kain kain (local gin).” he said

Crime / Twins Jailed After Raping 11-year-old Girl 9 Times To Tutor Her On Dating by weIMPORT: 8:54am On Jul 24, 2018
A pair of twins have been jailed after repeatedly raping and sexually assaulting an 11-year-old girl over a period of months.

Steven and Stanley Muchemwa, aged 31, were given 14 and 15 year sentences respectively yesterday at Bolton Crown Court after a judge branded the abuse "particularly shocking".

The offences occurred at the twins' home in Dunsop Drive, Bolton, where both men raped her, usually in their bedroom and sometimes when other children were also sleeping in the same room.

During the course of the trial the girl's mother told Judge Graeme Smith that her world had "come crashing down around her" when she heard what had been happening.

The girl’s mother said she was “completely shocked” after her daughter revealed the ordeal to the head teacher at her school and “devastated” that she had trusted the men to take care of her.

She went on to say that there had been a “massive change” in the girl’s personality since the incidents, saying she had become “clingy” and was not sleeping well due to bad dreams.

The court heard that Steven first started touching the girl early in 2016 when she was just 10 years old, while the pair would go on to rape her in the school summer holidays after she had turned 11.

Giving evidence during the trial, the girl said that, when Steven first raped her, his brother Stanley had walked into the room while it was happening but had taken no action to stop it.

Both men had initially pleaded not guilty to the charges, although Steven would go on to change his plea to guilty before the trial began.

Prosecuting, Kathryn Johnson, said:

“Stanley had seen what his brother was doing. It was following that that Stanley started to rape her.”

Adding:

“He would tell her he was teaching her what to do for when she had a boyfriend.”

Ms Johnson went on to say that Stanley had told the girl she would get into trouble if she told anyone about what had been happening.

She told her head teacher in October 2016, in what Judge Smith described as a “brave decision”.

Ms Johnson recounted what the teacher found, saying the girl was in an “extremely distressed state” when she began to explain her experiences.

She added:

“Initially she wouldn’t explain why she was so upset. She told the headteacher she had been abused.

“Police and social services attended and spoke to her and her mother was contacted.”

Following a trial earlier this year, Stanley was found guilty of one count of sexual assault of a child under 13 and four counts of rape of a child under 13.

His brother Steven was found guilty of two counts of sexual assault and seven counts of rape, both of a girl under 13.

He was also found guilty of one count of assault on a female, and a further count of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.

Sports / Salisu Yusuf Caught Receiving Bribe On Camera by weIMPORT: 6:33am On Jul 24, 2018
Chief coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Salisu Yusuf has been caught on camera taking N360, 000 from fake football agents who wanted him to select two players for the 2018 African Nations Championship (CHAN).

As the chief coach of the Super Eagles, Yusuf is in charge of the Super Eagles home-based side and an assistant to Gernot Rohr for the Super Eagles.

He was in charge of the Super Eagles Team B to the 2017 WAFU and 2018 CHAN where they lost in both finals.

In an investigation led by Ghanaian journalists Anas Aremeyaw, reporters posing as football agents for some players approached Yusuf in September 2017 for a conversation about players’ selection.

During the conversation, they handed the Nigerian coach N360, 000 ($1000) and alluded to more cash incentives if he selects their players for CHAN 2018 which held in Morocco.

The clip has been made public by BBC African Eye.

“So if anything goes through and these players are able to get their contracts, you will get 15% of that contract,” one of the reporters posing as an agent told Yusuf to which he replied; “they will be in CHAN.”

The two players were eventually selected for CHAN 2018 although the investigation stated that there is no suggestion that the money given to Yusuf influenced the selection.

Although he told the reporters that team selection is based solely on performances, Yusuf, a top Nigerian coach will be facing the wrath of FIFA, CAF and the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

A 20 year old female cultist who was arrested by the police in Lagos has made a shocking confession on how she used to kill members of rival cult groups and any other person for a fee of ₦10,000.

The 20-year old Mariam Abiola told reporters at a parade in Lagos on Monday, how she killed four persons wearing Hijab, Vanguard reports

Narrating how she joined the cult group, Abiola, who claimed to be a secondary school drop-out, said:

“I ran away from my house in Lafenwa Abeokuta to Lagos, to look for work. I met one Mr. Sodiq when I got to Lagos. Mr. Sodiq took me to his house at Ilasamaja area of Lagos. He was the one that introduced me to the Eiye cult.”

“He took me to a herbalist, who gave me a black substance to eat. He told me that their work was about killing people. He gave me a gun and taught me how to shot. I learnt how to shoot by shooting on the wall. I shot on the wall three times before I learnt how to shoot. Brother Sodiq gave three of us guns and pictures of persons to kill. He trained three of us. Two boys and myself.”

“I have killed four persons. Each time I want to go for the killing, I usually wear a white gown and a white veil (Hijab). Brother Sodiq usually showed us the target’s house. We go to the house at night. The two boys will scale the fence and open the gate for me. We go straight to the apartment and shoot at the target at close range.

None of our targets survived. I killed one guy at Fadeyi area of Lagos. Another one at Hassan area, one at Ajeh area. Each time we killed someone, brother Sodiq would pay me ₦10,000 but he would pay the others ₦20,000 each. I don’t feel bad after killing anyone because I see it as a job I am being paid for ”

According to a Nigerian man who made the video:

And I don't understand Italian language. I don't stay in Italy, I came for a visit. I live in France. So I told the guy to talk to me in a language that I will understand.

He then asked me in English, if this is my country. That I have no right to tell him where his dog will seat. Before then, I had to make a video of it, because here, they believe in evidence.

I told him that I am not a refugee. That I came to Europe with all the necessary documents. That if he tries anything funny, I will sue him. That was how he took the dog to the other seat.”

Politics / Police Using Their Helicopter To Threaten My Life And That Of My Family - Fayose by weIMPORT: 8:21am On Jul 19, 2018
The governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, on Wednesday raised alarm over aerial surveillance of the Government House, Ado-Ekiti by a police helicopter.

According to the governor, the police chopper has constituted danger to his personal safety, his family, workers and visitors to the Government House.

In a statement released by his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, the governor described the development as “brazen show of naked force and abuse of power by the Federal Government.”

According to him, he sees no reason for the aerial surveillance of his official residence and office since the state governorship election is over.

He also accused the nation’s security forces of allowing themselves to be used to intimidate political opponents despite being funded with tax payers’ money. His statement in part reads

“They continue to fly helicopters over the Government House and Governor’s Office in a way that compromises the safety and well-being of residents and workers. The helicopter flies so low that it runs the risk of crashing into high-rise buildings and masts within the premises. The noise pollution this causes is enough irritation.

This brazen show of naked force and abuse of power is as ungodly as it is undemocratic. If the security forces belong to all Nigerians and not to President Muhammadu Buhari and APC, it should not be biased in this blatant manner. It is unprofessional of the security forces to allow themselves be this debased, running APC errands when they are funded with resources that belong to all of us.

They are obligated by the Constitution to be apolitical and not willing tools in the hands of the powers-that-be Once again, I say I will not be intimidated. I will stand on my feet until every injustice is upturned and the freedom and liberties of our people are restored. The thief runneth when no one pursueth. They are afraid of their shadows.” Governor Fayose said

Politics / Governor Bello Condemns Burning Of Dino Melaye's Constituency Projects by weIMPORT: 7:50am On Jul 19, 2018
The Kogi State government has condemned the burning of four of Senator Dino Melaye's constituency projects in Lokoja, the state capital by some hoodlums.

Recall that yesterday, two of the secondary schools renovated by Dino Melaye to celebrate his 3rd year in the National Assembly, were vandalized and burnt on Tuesday night. Dino was meant to commission the projects yesterday Wednesday July 18th.

Reacting to the incident, the Director General, Media and Publicity to the state governor, Kingsley Fanwo who spoke on behalf of government during an assessment tour of the burnt facility, said the state government has directed security operatives to fish out the arsonists.

"Irrespective of who is doing the project, the fund is from the government. So whether it is the executive or legislative, such projects should rather be applauded and not destroyed", he said.

The state commissioner for Education, Mrs. Rosemary Osikoya who was amongst the government officials who visited the sites said government will not fold it's arms until the perpetrators were fished out.

"Exams are ongoing and these building is being used since January 2018. We expect that people will respect the sanctity of education. This act is masterminded and not accidental. The building were burnt including the chairs.

If not for some serving Corps members around who tried to put out the flame, it would have been worse than this. We appeal to everybody to collaborate with us in education and not use it as a melting point for political sabotage. This is a dastard act; the state's interest should be paramount rather than the individual political ego", she said.

Dino Melaye is yet to release an official statement reacting to the development. Dino has been on a running battle with the state governor, Yahaya Bello.

He said:

“They both came for the introduction of one of our family members and they went to visit our mother afterwards.

Celebrities / Drake And Uber Driver In Hot Fight, Calls Police On The Singer by weIMPORT: 6:19am On Jul 19, 2018
Drake and Uber driver in hot fight, calls Police on the singer

An Uber driver was none too pleased when Drake and his driver opened their doors onto his car. He consequently went ballistic on the duo and even went ahead to call the cops on them

The last two weeks have been incredible for Drake. Not only did he break records with the first week sales of his Scorpion album, his second-week numbers weren't too shabby either.

While we're sure a minor incident like last night's is an afterthought for one of the most popular celebrities in the world, he still got an earful and it was enough for him to turn around and see what on earth was going on.

While arriving at Delilah's in Los Angeles last night, Drake's driver may have opened his car door a little too abruptly as he accidentally dinged an Uber that was next to him.

Things like this happen and it's not worth it to sweat the small stuff. The Uber driver felt differently though as he must have recently got his whip painted, screaming out profanities at the driver and Drake as the Canadian sensation made his way into the hotspot.

"Fucking idiot" can be heard pretty clearly, causing Drake to stop in his tracks and see what all the commotion was about. As they are ever so reliable with capturing celebrities as they enter and exit L.A. clubs, TMZ caught everything on tape, even getting a "Bleep you paparazzi" for their efforts.

The driver went so far as to actually call the police to investigate but since dinging a car is not technically a crime, no reports were officially made.

Watch the Video:

Drake and Uber driver didn't have a direct confrontation as the singer didn't think too highly of the situation, visibly laughing with his security as they walked into the club. Check out the video below to witness the Uber driver's breakdown.

Sports / Jerry Okorodudu: I Am Dying Of Hunger - Ex-Boxer by weIMPORT: 7:38pm On Jul 17, 2018
Legendary Nigerian boxer, Jerry Okorodudu says he is dying of hunger over the non-payment of his 10 months’ salary by the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports.

Okorodudu, Nigeria’s boxer in the 1994 Los Angeles Olympic Games, U.S., says he is owed the salary arrears by the sports ministry without any explanation as he told the told News Agency of Nigeria that the situation had deprived him of providing for his family, adding that he had “resorted to begging in order to eat and feed his family’’.

It will be recalled that the 1982 Brisbane Commonwealth Games bronze medallist had in 2016 gone cap in hands begging the same ministry to pay him 14 months’ salary arrears. The matter was later resolved and he got his salary arrears then.

“I have travelled to Abuja severally and also written letters to the ministry but nothing is forthcoming, all they do is to keep referring me to different people in the ministry. I am dying of hunger and can no longer cater for my family because my salary has not been paid in the last 10 months.

I have represented this country during my active years and should not be treated this way, this is bad. A similar thing happened in 2016 where I petitioned the ministry and the court ordered them to pay me the 14 months salaries they owed me as at then,'’ he said.

The former boxer, who also won two gold medals at the African Championship in 1982, lamented the treatment from the sports ministry in spite of his contributions and sacrifices for the country.

“My pensionable job in the ministry was changed to a contract; the Nigeria Boxing Federation has also sidelined me by removing me from every competition. I represented this country well as an athlete and a coach, but it is a pity that this is happening to me and other former sportsmen and women in the country,’’ he said.

Crime / The Tinder Murder: Woman Killed Her Date Because He Faked Being Rich - Video by weIMPORT: 7:11pm On Jul 17, 2018
The Tinder Murder

Back in May, a young man was abducted and murdered by his Tinder date along with two of her accomplices in India.

Now, in a new interview with Deepika Bhardwaj, an activist and documentary filmmaker, Priya Seth, 27, the main accused has revealed the chilling details of the abduction and murder of 27-year-old Dushyant Sharma.

According to her, she needed money but the victim faked being a rich person so she killed him. Priya who was unremorseful in the interview said she and her accomplices, Dikshant and Lakshya smothered him with a pillow, cut his throat before stuffing his body in a suitcase and dumping his body along the Jaipur-Delhi highway.

“He (Dushyant) told me he was very rich and I was living in with Dikshant (the other accused in the case) and he had a debt of 21 lakhs. He was looking for someone to get that money from. So, we made this plan together that we will kidnap someone, ask for a ransom and then kill that person,” said Priya.

It was also learned that the victim's father transferred some money into their account, but Priya and her gang later went ahead and killed him.

When she was asked why she killed Dushyant even when his father transferred some money into their account, Priya says in a jiffy: “We killed him even before we got the money.”

Revealing chilling details how they carried out the murder, she said:

“First Dikshant strangled him. He survived. Then, Lakshya (another accused in the case) smothered him with a pillow. He became unconscious but still didn’t die. Dikshant then asked me to get a knife and slit his throat. He died,” said Priya without a single sign of remorse on her face.

However, the other two accomplices contradicted her claim and said that she stabbed the deceased first.

Watch the video below.


Priya Seth also revealed in the interview that she was into an escort service, through which she used to defraud people. She claimed that she duped more than 1000 men using the tactic for 6-7 years.

The trio who were arrested within 10 hours of the deceased’s body being found are currently in police custody.
