"I would wait for the right man even if it takes a 100 years"-Karen Igho

"You know I can go on twitter and say I’m lonely, or pick up my phone and make calls and men will arrive, but I don’t want that. I want a connection. I want to be in love, I don’t want to fall for someone because he is a star or because of what he has. I want to fall in love with you because of who you are. Some men come and try to entice me with materials things. You don’t have to be rich to win my world. I would wait for the right man even if it takes a hundred years, after all they say God’s time is the best.""

Clara Chime, First Lady Of Enugu State, Begs Human Rights Groups To Release Her From House Arrest Imposed By Governor Sullivan Chime

Clara Chime, the First Lady of Enugu State, says Governor Sullivan Chime, has placed her under house arrest, and has cried out for assistance to reach human rights bodies to rescue her.

In a letter dripping with pain and suffering, Mrs. Chime disclosed that she married Mr. Chime in October 2008 but that she has been unable to share the matrimonial bed with him for over four years.

Describing her desperate situation, she said that even President Goodluck Jonathan and First Lady Patience Jonathan have intervened with her husband without success.

"My father is late, my Mum and few of my siblings are confused and have done all kinds of prayers they know of, 3 of my siblings prefers me dead than to see me leave the Government house.  He treats my Mum and my siblings bad," she wrote.

The Enugu State First Lady said she has been introduced to two psychiatrists whose names she gave as Dr. Onwukwe and Dr. Agumo, who have prescribed "all kinds of drugs that ends up keeping me acute depressed and also drives me into hallucinations."

The doctors, she noted, are scared of her husband the Governor, to whom nobody can tell the truth.  

According to the letter, the Catholic Bishop of Enugu state (Callistus Onaga), and top priests have come to intervene, as have the President and the First Lady of the nation, without success.  
Mrs. Chime further complains that Governor Chime has ordered her to leave with her four-year old son whom she conceived before their wedding.  However, the governor, according to her, later threatened to disown the boy should she leave with him.

 "He has told everyone he can reach that there is no marriage between us that I can leave if I wish to but whenever I plan to leave he instructs them to lock me in.  I have told him through Sms that I will leave my son behind and leave alone but still he instructed his securities to lock me inside the house."

Mrs. Chime further complains she has lost touch with the real world and all that makes her beautiful because of the side effects of the drugs she is taking, stressing that she is under house arrest for committing no crime.

Of the situation in Government House, she said,

"He does not take care of me personally, the government gives me allowance to run the house and that's where I save little from to take care of my elf, my Mum and few of my siblings," she said in the letter.  He shut me out of his life years ago; I don't have access to his apartment. The problem is enormous; I don't know where to start to explain from."

 

She said that even the security detail in the lodge has resorted to praying for her, while the few that can be bought with money are taking advantage of the situation.
"Police and SS men have been instructed by Mr Sullivan Chime to confine me in a place for a long time now against my wish [but] it is my wish to leave these premises," she said, begging,

"Please assist me to reach to the human rights and say to them to please come hastily and release me."

Ex-Soldier Beat Daughter To Death With Nail-Studded Plank For Hissing While He Talked

Maybe it divine intervention ,maybe not but  John Udin, a retired soldier may likely spend the rest of his life in jail if he doesn't go to the gallows for clubbing his 14- year old daughter, Glory to death. John 72, from Jesse, Warri in Delta State was discharged from the Nigeria Army in 1999 as a corporal. He has 11 children from three wives. Two of the wives and seven children are in Jesse, while he resides at 28 Adewale Street, Iba New Site, Ojo, Lagos with the youngest wife, Comfort and four children in a two-room apartment.

Last Tuesday, what started as minor family quarrel turned fatal. On that fateful evening, while Comfort, Glory and the three other children were preparing for evening church service, it was alleged that John came to the front of their compound and sat down. As his family members wanted to leave for church, it was further alleged that he blocked the entrance and said they won't go because they lack the character of good Christians.

According to John, his daughter Glory, a secondary school student didn't have an iota of respect for him. "Whenever I tried to counsel or advise her as a beloved father, she would make ignoble and despicable signs to show an extreme disdain and contempt she has for me. These are the things she copied from her mother.

"Sometimes she would go to another family's house to sleep or she did something not of good report, when I tried to caution her, she would talk to me or demonstrate with a sign that shows an utter contempt."

As John prevented them from going to church, he accused Glory of making the same derogatory sign to show her contempt for him. This was said to have provoked the ex-soldier who dragged Glory to their bedroom where he allegedly beat her with a nail-studded plank.

According to Comfort, her husband didn't allow their daughter any medical assistance. "I went and called a nurse who came and started treating her. When she was not improving, my husband took her to a hospital where she died" Comfort said.

 

Glory died last Sunday five days after the incident.

 

Speaking to Saturday Sun, John in a sober mood, wondered why he should kill his own daughter and heaped the blame on Satan.

 

"I am not crazy to give birth to a child and at the same time kill the child. I don't have mother or father, my children are everything to me. So why should I kill her? My intention was to hit the plank on her back for her just to receive the pain and nothing more but it landed on her forehead.

 

"When my wife went and reported the matter at the police station, I didn't wait for the police to come and arrest me. I went to the police and submitted myself to them. That will show that I didn't have the intention of killing my dear daughter. If I meant to kill her as my wife is accusing me of, I would probably run away or went into hiding."

 

On what that type of dangerous weapon was doing in his bedroom, John said that he is a security man and that was one of his tools to defend himself and attack robbers.   He accused his wife of encouraging Glory the way she was misbehaving.

 

His wife, who by her name, should be providing comfort for him is now calling for the full weight of the law to be visited on him.

 

"He deliberately killed my daughter and so he should also be killed the same way", she declared. On how he met Comfort, John said that Comfort's father though late was his friend and also a retired soldier.

 

According to him, after his disengagement from the military, he took his two wives and seven children to his  village, Jesse. After staying at home for a while, he said life at the village didn't suit him and so opted to come back to Lagos, but his wives and children said they were not going with him and preferred to stay in the village.

 

" It was when I came to Lagos and started visiting Comfort's father, my friend by then he was still around and I started going closer to Comfort and one thing led to another  and she became pregnant

16-Year-Old Nigerian/American Girl Among The 50 Smartest Teenagers In The World

Nigerian girl, Saheela Ibraheem, whose name has been buzzing in the headlines lately as a promising talent, has reserved a place among "The World's 50 Smartest Teenagers" list.

The young girl, only 16, made it to headlines earlier this year when she was accepted into Harvard University, making her one of the youngest students ever to attend that school.

 Making a record in the US, Saheela was accepted at 13 other colleges, including prestigious MIT, the University of Pennsylvania, Cornell, Brown, Princeton, Columbia, and the University of Chicago.

In the end, Saheela chose Harvard, based on her seven-year-old brother's advice who also dreams of being admitted to Harvard.

Saheela believes the key to success is knowing what you love to learn as early as possible, a knowledge she says she achieved at age five. Known as polite and humble, the Muslim prodigy said that her Nigerian parents, totally supportive of the young scholar, sometimes taught her subjects the schools didn't offer. Saheela, who dons the Islamic veil, or hijab, plays softball, soccer, and the trombone.

She also sings in the school choir and serves as president of the school's investment club. The promising girl plans to major in either neurobiology or neuroscience, and hopes to become a scientist in order to study how the brain works.

 Despite her activities, she said her number one priority was her family. "I try my best in everything I do," Saheela said, confirming that there is nothing special about her brain. "Anyone who's motivated can work wonders."

Man In Court For Raping Girl He Met On Facebook

The Nigerian police in Lagos on Wednesday arraigned a 34-year-old man, Omowuyi Kelvin, over alleged rape of a 25-year old girl he met on Facebook.

Kelvin, who was charged before an Isheri Magistrates' Court, lives at Shangisha, a suburb of Lagos.

He is facing a two-count charge of rape and stealing.

The prosecutor, Insp Nurudeen Thomas, told the court that the accused committed the offences at 8.00p.m., on 15 October at his residence.

"The accused invited his victim all the way from Benin to Lagos.

"On arrival, the accused unlawfully detained her for five days in a room, had carnal knowledge of her and stripped her of N5,000, among other valuables," he said.

He said that the offences contravened Sections 285 and 258 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.

Section 258 provides for life imprisonment for rape, while Section 285 prescribes three years imprisonment for theft.

The accused, however, pleaded not guilty.

Senior Magistrate Adejumoke Olagbegi-Adelabu granted the accused bail in the sum of N200,000 with two sureties in like sum.

She adjourned the case till to 27 October for substantive trial.

On 22 July, 2012, Cynthia Osokogwu, a post-graduate student of Nasarawa State University and a clothing retailer was murdered in Lagos by friends she met on FaceBook.

They lured her to a hotel in FESTAC Town, drugged and raped her before she was murdered.

21 People Set Themselves On Fire To Set Guinness World Record

Twenty-one people lit themselves on fire in Cleveland, setting a new Guinness World Record. Everything burns in Cleveland.

In the city of the flaming river, a group of people lit themselves on fire to set a new world record. The 21 burners gathered on Saturday in the parking lot of a local restaurant as a roaring crowd counted down. "Three! Two! One! Ignite!

"The burners wore fireproof gel suit under their flaming layers of cotton and wool.

Torches flared, and the crew burst into flame, marching back and forth across the lot with their arms extended like blazing airplanes.

The 32-second stunt ended with a stop, drop and roll into the Guinness World Records for "most people performing full body burns.

"Cleveland printing company Hotcards staged the spectacle as a fiery fundraiser on the banks of the Cuyahoga River, a waterway once so polluted it famously caught fire in 1969.

The burners marched back and forth for 32 seconds in front of a roaring crowd at Shooters nightclub in Cleveland.

"We take a lot of heat in Cleveland as the Burning River City. Yet, it became the catalyst for a lot Cleveland pride, including environmental movements, breweries, and a whole lot of 'Hot in Cleveland' fame," Hotcards' CEO John Gadd said in a statement. "It's a unique part of our legacy that we can embrace and give new meaning with such a magical spectacle.

"Stuntman Ted Batchelor coordinated a 55-person team of "burners" and "igniters" over two months of training. The burners wore fireproof gel suits under layers of cotton and wool that served as the fuel for the blaze.

Local CEOs, politicians, a funeral director, minister and radio DJ filled out the crew of flaming participants.

The new 21-person record eclipses the previous record of 17, also set in Ohio.

Batchelor lit two of them himself and scanned the lot as his blazing pupils glowed in the night.

"I could see it all," Batchelor told the Daily News. "And in my mind, it looked great. I was like, 'Oh my gosh, this looks beautiful.'"Batchelor, 55, had coordinated the previous record of 17 full-body burns in 2009 in South Russell, Ohio, and has set five Guinness records in his life.

He's well aware of the national embarrassment Cleveland suffered after the burning river and said the record was a way for the city to spark interest in its resurgence while raising money for the Cleveland Food bank and Brick by Brick, an Ohio-based charity that aids women and children in South Africa.

"We're going to take that fire and use it to our best interests," Batchelor said.

Uruguay Is Planning To Legalise And Sell Marijuana From Next Year

Uruguay is planning to start selling marijuana legally next year, a top official said, though the Senate must approve the proposed legislation.

The country is hoping to act as a potential test case for an idea slowly gaining steam across Latin America — that the legalization and regulation of some drugs could sap the cartel violence devastating much of the region.

"The illegal market is very risky and offers poor quality," National Drug Board chief Jose Calzada was quoted as saying in Sunday's El Pais newspaper.

The state "will provide a safe place to buy, a good quality product and, moreover, will sell at a standard price.

"Thegovernment proposes to sell marijuana for $1 a gram, slightly below the current market rate that runs about 30 pesos ($1.40) a gram.

By putting the government in charge of the marijuana industry, which is estimated to be worth $30 million to $40 million a year, the plan aims to curtail illegal trafficking and the violence that comes with it.

The proposed law would allow people to cultivate up to six cannabis plants for their own use, belong to a membership club that could grow up to 99 plants, or buy the drug at pharmacies, with a limit of 40 grams a month per person.

In August, the bill, which is backed by President Jose Mujica's leftist government, was passed by the lower house of Uruguay's legislature.

It now awaits action by the Senate. There are still legislative hurdles to overcome, including allocating money to pay a new director for the Institute for the Regulation and Control of Cannabis, which wasn't included in this year's budget. Opposition parties have also fought against the idea and a poll released over the summer found 63 percent of Uruguayans were against it.

Many opponents fear the legalization of cannabis would turn Uruguay into a pot tourism hub and encourage the use of stronger drugs. But it was argued that the current policies have failed and estimates Uruguay, a small country with just 3.3 million people, spends upwards of $80 million a year on combating drugs but seizes just $4 million to $5 million worth of contraband.

The legality of cannabis for general or recreational use varies from country to country. Possession of cannabis is illegal in most countries, and has been since the beginning of widespread cannabis prohibition in the late 1930s. However, many countries have decriminalized the possession of small quantities of cannabis, particularly in North America, South America, and Europe.

Furthermore, possession is legal or effectively legal in the Netherlands, North Korea, and the U.S. states of Washington and Colorado. On 28 May 2013, Colorado became the world's first fully regulated recreational cannabis market for adults. A larger number of countries have decriminalized or legalized cannabis for medical purposes.

Court frees Osun Monarch of raping NYSC member,says they had a regular sexual relationship

Justice Oyejide Falola of the Osun State High Court sitting in Ikirun on Tuesday gave the verdict today, putting an end to a three-year sexual case that has brought national attention on the traditional king, the Alowa of Ilowa-Ijesa, Oba Adebukola Alli, and his accuser, Helen Okpara.

Delivering judgment, Falola said that the plaintiff, Miss Helen Okpara, failed to tender enough exhibits to convince the court beyond reasonable doubt that she was raped by the monarch.

 The judge also held that the plaintiff, who accused the #monarch of raping her at his private residence in Osogbo, failed to prove that she was raped.

 He said a case of #rape could only be established with exhibits such as bed sheet, the victim’s pant and a medical report indicating forceful penetration, adding that the prosecutor failed to tender all these.Falola said Okpara also failed to show the bruises on her private part as evidence that she was raped.

 He further said the prosecutor failed to show to the court the plaintiff’s torn clothes as she had claimed in her submissions before the court.

 While stressing that a case of rape must be proved with injuries sustained on the private part as well as other parts of the body, Falola said the court was not convinced that Okpara sustained any injury.

 Falola said the court was able to establish the fact that Okpara and the monarch had been having regular sexual #relationship before a misunderstanding ensued between them.

 He, however, condemned such relationship involving a traditional ruler, saying his action had brought his stool into disrepute as well as disgrace to his family and community.

For those who missed her account, Read below

  "I was raped by the Alowa of Ilowa on Friday, March 25. Before then, I had been introduced to the monarch during the last INEC registration exercise.

"One day, on my way from the school, Oba Alli gave me a ride and told me that he wanted me to be a computer facilitator for the schools in the community. That was after he got to know that I was computer literate and we drew a plan on the format the assignment would take." She explained that she later had a session with the students and after introducing the system to them, the traditional ruler offered to take her back to school. But instead of dropping her at the school, he reportedly took her to his residence in Osogbo, a few kilometers to her place of primary assignment.

 "He said I should not worry, that he would bring me back home and eventually we arrived at his residence in Osogbo where he entertained me. It was getting late and I wanted to go home as he started to caress me. I got up begging him, but he turned down my pleas,"

She explained further that the monarch later stripped her and went outside to soak her clothes, stressing that before he came back, she had locked the door.

Agagu’s Burial May Still Hold Tomorrow Despite Unfortunate Plane Crash

Indications have emerged that despite the incident of plane crash involving the corpse of the late Agagu and some of his family member in Lagos today, the family of the deceased and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are insisting of going on with the burial ceremony tomorrow at Iju Odo in Okitipupa local government.

DailyPost gathered that the family had already sent a team to Lagos to convey the corpse which was said to be intact despite the crash which claimed over 11 souls including a Commissioner in Ondo State, Mr. Deji Falae. The family said since Agagu's son, Feyi and daughters in-law survived the crash, nothing would stop the burial.
A source had disclosed that Feyi, had spoke with his mother and other family members, an indication that he was in good condition.
However, A former governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party [PDP], Chief Olusola Oke, who was in distress said, "the disasters are tasking our souls and breaking our hearts. Oke, who was flanked by other PDP Chieftains, said "at a time we were thinking of giving triumphant entry for a peaceful commitment to mother earth, of our great leader, this disaster struck to shake his biological, political and social families to their very existence.

"While we commiserate with the families of those who lost their lives, we thank God for saving the life of the late Agagu only son, [Feyi] for the sake of sustaining the former governor's dynasty.

"We were also full of praises that the former President, Olusegun Obasanjo son, Gbenga who was on board of the plane has also been reported to have survived the ordeal.
Oke called for full investigations of the disaster, which he attributed to carelessness or sabotage.
He also thanked God that Agagu's remains were intact saying "our leader will still be given the deserved burial, part of which had already started".
According to the PDP leader, all praise should also go to those who rescued the survivors of the plane crash, stressing that the burial would resume with minimal delay after due consultation with Agagu's family and the state government.
The State PDP Chairman, Mr. Ebenezer Alabi said the late Agagu does not deserve what is happening to him, saying "we are still very shock, but we are consoled that his heir-apparent did not die, that is the only joy we have.
Also, the Deputy Governorship Candidate of PDP, Hon. Saka Lawal called for prayers in the state, adding that the people need to move closer to God for deliverance.
"Ondo State needs prayer. What has happened is just for us to move closer to God. I will like to say, this has never occurred in the history of Ondo State. I will like to sympathize with the people of the state. It is unfortunate that our dear state is going through this kind of disaster. Again, we need prayer; everybody must come together for divine intervention from the hands of the evil forces". Lawal said.
When Daily Post visited the residence of the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation [SGF], Chief Olu Falae who is the father of the Commissioner, sympathizers were in prayer session for the survival of Deji, the Commissioner.
We also observed that Falae, who was surrounded by two friends kept mum, and only responded in Yoruba Language by saying "E se oo, E se oo" meaning "thank you, thank you” repeatedly.

Mother And Daughter Porn Duo In Search Of Father And Son Partners

A mother and daughter duo who make porn films together are looking for a father-son team willing to join them on camera. Jessica Sexxxton, 56, and her daughter, Monica, 22, have been shooting sex scenes together for the last 18 months for their own self-titled website, sometimes sharing the same partner, but not at the same time and never with each other — a technicality that keeps their films from being legally considered incest. Now the Tampa, Fla-based twosome are hoping to take their unorthodox relationship to the next level, with a nationwide search for a real father and son willing to shoot a porn film scene with them. "It's something we've considered for a while,"

Jessica Sexxxton told The Huffington Post. "We once dated brothers in real life on and off for a couple of years. They were closer to [Monica's] age, but we haven't done a father and son in real life or on camera. "Like the Sexxxtons, the father and son won't have sex with each other, but Monica already has the scenario for this sordid family affair in mind. "Something like, 'Hey Dad, my girlfriend's got a hot mom,'" Monica hypothesized to HuffPost. "But we'd probably cater to the fantasy by having the father have sex with me. "The Sexxxtons tried casting a scene before using non-related actors as the father and son, but Monica said she didn't like the results, because the man cast as the "Dad" "looked too much like the "Cockroach" guy from that movie, 'Men In Black. '"Family-oriented porn is a common fantasy scenario. But it's rare to have real family members work together in movies. In 1998, "Three Brothers," a gay porn film, featured three real-life brothers, Vince, Shane and Hal Rockland, in a sex scene with an unrelated male. The brothers didn't have sex with each other.

The Milton twins, Cali Marie and Cherish, have done scenes together since 2004, usually not touching. In 2008, porn star Elli Foxx filmed a scene with her mother, Desi, for a film called "Wanna F*** My Daughter Gotta F*** Me First 2." They made sure to stay at least 10 feet apart while filming .Adult industry historian Bill Margold said he's "never even heard of rumors involving a father/son entity in porn." He said the closest was an uncle and nephew who worked together. The Sexxxtons may change that with their campaign, which will end, appropriately (or inappropriately) enough, on Father's Day.

The women will then decide which father-son duo fits the bill and arrange a test scene, provided the son is of legal age and both the dad and son successfully pass tests for sexually transmitted diseases. Jessica Sexxxton said she is not attracted to a particular type — although she wouldn't turn down Sean Connery. She said she hopes any applicants are "somewhat good-looking and not fat." "Obviously, they'd have to be somewhat open-minded sexually in order to be okay doing this with their son," Jessica Sexxton said. "I do prefer men who are clean-shaven. And that means the face and the whole body — anywhere but the arms and legs. "Monica Sexxxton said she wants any dads and sons who work with her to be able to do the job. "They need to be able to perform so I'm not standing around," she said. "This is a little different than sex in real life. People don't kiss. They don't really make eye contact. They just go at it. [Filming porn] takes the spontaneity out, but it's still sex, so it's still good. "The Sexxxtons said if they don't find a father-son team that appeals to them, they won't shoot a scene. Even if it happens, there's no guarantee the movie will be a hit. In fact, there is evidence to suggest the opposite, according to Nicole Prause, an assistant researcher at UCLA in the Department of Psychiatry who studies sexual arousal in response to porn. "Research shows sexual acts between any parent and child leads most people to report feeling high levels of disgust, especially women, so the strong reaction to their films is unlikely to be seen as more acceptable over time," Prause said.
