Picture speaks for itself right?

Kanye West may be over his ex-girlfriend Amber Rose.

But that hasn’t stopped him from starring at her when they are in the same place. West was caught looking at Rose and her new boyfriend Machine Gun Kelly at the NBA finals game in Cleveland.

Despite bolting from Drake’s party after Rose showed up earlier in the week, West decided to stay when she showed up to the basketball game. A fan in attendance caught Yeezy snickering at Rose and Kelly while they were trying to go to their seats. It appears he kept sneaking more peeks at Rose.

A suspected stowaway was found dead on the roof of a London office block after plunging from a jumbo jet as it approached Heathrow Airport.

The man's body was discovered on top of the offices of NotOnTheHighStreet.com, which is on a busy road in the south-west of the capital, yesterday morning.

Another stowaway survived the 8,000-mile flight from South Africa before being taken to hospital, where he is now fighting for his life

It is believed the two men sneaked on to flight BA0054 before it set off from Johannesburg airport on Wednesday evening.

The man who died is then thought to have hidden in the wheel recess during the airliner's 11-hour five-minute overnight flight to London.

It is understood he fell out as the undercarriage came down on the plane's approach to Heathrow, while the other man - said to be in his 30s - survived and was rushed to hospital when the plane landed. He is said to be in a 'critical' condition.

Did I hear you say the huzzle is real? No be joke……

"25% OF MY PEOPLE ARE BLIND"- HRH C.E. Collins

2014-07-11T12:56:00.000+01:00

Imagine living in a community where the water is acidic, with PH value 4.8? Imagine living in a land and breathing an air with as low as 4.0 as its pH? Imagine living in a community which produces about 10,000 barrels of oil daily, amidst gas, and yet you can't afford a three square meal? What do you think your life would be?
Imagine a community with huge oil corporations which make millions of dollars daily from your land, and you don't benefit a dime from it? Imagine a community absent with the basic social amenities like electricity and water absent? Imagine a situation where about 25% of the people in your community have eye defects or are blind? How gross and frustrating, would life be for you in that community?

This has been the obvious fate of the people of Izombe, who seem to have been sentenced to a life of penury, hopelessness and sufferings, they have got all it takes to make their land the promise land, but the exploitation, negligence, and gross oppression of huge multinational oil corporations in that land have made their dreams look like a dashing hope and a total fiasco, they seem to have been forgotten, they seem to have been abandoned, they seem to have been neglected, despite the conspicuous veracity that they are the primary landlords and host communities to the oil corporations.

His Royal Majesty, Chijioke E. Collins, the Nwama 2 of Umunwama Autonomous Community, and Chairman, Izombe Council of Traditional Rulers, Izombe, Oguta gives us a vividly shocking and heartbreaking breakdown of the state of Izombe and the resolution of her people.
"For forty years, the people of Izombe have been screwed by Addax Petroleum Development Company who came into our land in 1974 as Ashland Oil. For forty years, Addax has been taking our oil every day, and the people of Izombe are left to reap from the repercussions and effects of their oil exploration activities. As I talk with you, my people are sick because the environment is cancerous, the air we breathe is contaminated, environmental studies carried out Ezeigbo and other renowned environmentalists and published in the Journal of Biology, Agriculture and Healthcare ISSN 2224-3208 (Paper) ISSN 2225-093X (Online) Vol.3, No.15, 2013, shows that the pH of the soil is as low as 4.0 in Izombe, the air pH goes as low as 4.4 during the dry season which is acidic. Our water is very acidic with pH between 4.8 - 6.1, which is below the WHO standard and is also acidic, and our water is also very hard, if you soak your clothes for long, it can ruin them.

We have carried out a very simple experiment, take a clean empty basin, and put it on top of a long stool when it is raining, and make sure it is directly in the rain, and no water from the ground is splashing the basin, there are no trees, roofs or houses blocking it, and then collect the rainwater falling directly from the sky into the basin, if you leave it to settle for few minutes, you will notice some oily black substances like carbon monoxide around the basin, which means our water is poisonous. The mortality rate of my people is very high, because we are sick, and let's say there is an emergency at night, that requires immediate treatment, before that person is rushed to Owerri from Izombe, that person is dead. We have had series of those encounters in our land, and yet Addax is here drilling our oil, and doing nothing to salvage my people" The monarch cried out

"It is really shocking to know that about 25% of my people are blind. How do we know this? Last year, we conducted a free eye test, and health check up exercise in Izombe, and we were surprised when the statistics had it that, of the people who were tested, about 25% of them have eye defects and some total blindness. The doctors who did these tests said these were the worst cases of eye problems they have ever seen in their practice. How can I be leading a generation of sick people? This treatment meted to us by Addax is so unfair, unjust, and my people can no longer tolerate it. They have decided they don't want Addax in their land again." His Royal Majesty added

"How can you come to someone's land, take their oil, and leave without giving them anything? No Memorandum of Understanding between us and Addax whatsoever, I want to lead a generation of healthy people, and I want to lead a community that has all the basic amenities she needs like electricity, pipe-borne water, good hospitals and roads, and schools for our children. Let's say 50 years from now, our oil finishes, what do we have to show to our generations and the generations yet unborn, that we once had oil? What do we tell them? How can we explain to them that we had barrels of oil taken daily in our land? We have absolutely nothing to show for it. And the people of Izombe have spoken their mind, they can no longer tolerate this unscrupulous treatment being subjected to us, we will not let us be ruined in our land by anyone, and we are saying Enough is enough."

"Take a look at my colleagues, the Obi-Ukwu of Ndeuloukwu Autonomous Community, HRH Eze Dr. D. A. Nwauwa and the Obi of Obeabor Autonomous Community, HRH Eze Dr. Oliver. A. Okorowu, sometime last year, they all could see, today they are blind, and Addax hasn't bothered to find out how they fair, and do something to treat them. They don't care. We are tired, we will not let anyone screw us, we've been screwed enough, and we can't take it no more" HRH Egwuagu Collins bled his heart out.

With the people of Izombe so pained with the maltreatment of Addax Petroleum Development Company, one would only wish for a miracle to turn the hearts of these indigenes towards accepting and reconciling with the international oil company, which seem to have a stake in that land, as the people appear to have taken a stance on the future of Addax.

IZOMBE: A SCARY EXPERIENCE "Addax Must Go" - Izombe Community Insists by OKIM-ALOBI OYAMA

2014-07-04T11:25:00.000+01:00

I feel so exasperated and sympathetic at the low standard of livelihood, the people of Izombe are experiencing day after day, despite their natural endowments. Izombe is an autonomous community consisting of four other communities, Umunwama, Obeabor, Aborsi and Ndeuloukwu and is located in Oguta Local Government Area of Imo State, Nigeria. She is so blessed with rich natural resources like huge deposits of crude oil and four times more gas deposits than oil. As a result of the large quantities of crude oil and gas, it has attracted some multinational oil corporations like Ashland Oil who came in 1974 (now Sinopec/Addax Petroleum Development Company) and Chevron, which operates in this region.

Izombe produces about 10,000 barrels of oil daily, and her gas deposits and exploration are four times more. Addax, explores about 5000 barrels of oil daily, and Izombe stands as her only offshore facility in Nigeria.
It is so disheartening, abysmal, and ostentatiously heartbreaking, that as rich, and blessed this community is, in addition to the presence of huge multinational oil corporations, with a very conspicuous and an intimidating presence in the international market, yet the people of Izombe have absolutely nothing to show for it, they have absolutely zilch to prove they have oil, except Offcourse, the flow stations and working sites of the oil companies and very much their operations and activities in the Land which by the way draws a concern, taking into serious cognizance, the adverse effects of their activities and the threat it poses to the ecology and biodiversity of Izombe.
I embarked on a journey to Izombe, the oil rich poverty-stricken land to visit a friend, and take a break from the hustles and bustles of Lagos, which offcourse is one of the busiest cities in the world. Imagine waking up as early as 4:30A.M. everyday and quickly getting ready to leave for work so I don't get caught up in the Lagos traffic which could drive anyone insane, and then coming home so late by 10 or 11pm? And so this was like a getaway or a mini vacation.
My experience began the moment I got to Ogbaku junction, in Imo State. I drove inside on a tarred road, and was excited especially as I noticed the high commercial activities in the land. I noticed petty traders selling stuffs like: bread, chin chin, biscuits, and some on bikes and cars, women trying to sell their food, etc, it brought back memories of the life in Lagos. Anyways, as I progressed, I could see the bushes so green, bowing as I drove past, I saw the presence of electric cables and poles installed line by line, with bright yellow lit bulbs, signifying the presence of electricity from the nearby villages. I noticed little children playing, people walking and was so startled when I saw women, not one not two, but many riding bicycles, probably heading to their farms. It looked like a commonality, but not to me, as I was of the impression that women don't ride those big bicycles to farms, only men do, but what I'd seen had left me in awe. I was amazed at the hardworking spirit of the women in the Eastern part of Nigeria, they were so strong, active and put the needs of their families before theirs. It took me about a thirty minute drive to Izombe, and I passed several other villages, and was excited when I noticed all of them had electricity and life was bubbling for them. But then, my excitement was short-lived the moment I reached Izombe, there was no light, so I assumed it was the normal Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) attitude of taking the light and bringing it later, but I became so worried and flabbergasted when I asked the last time they had light in Izombe and I was told "Never". I couldn't believe my ears, that there were places in Nigeria that didn't have electricity. Well that wasn't the only shocker, there were more waiting for me. At first I didn't understand their pains, or didn't even know if they had serious problems, but as I interacted with the people, as I established a rapport with the indigenes, I began to see, experience and understand just a little touch of what the People of Izombe were experiencing day by day.
I took my bath, ate and rested, I was already exhausted, but the next day, I was awoken from my sleep very early in the morning, with very psychedelic screams, like a group of warriors chanting while approaching the battlefield. I heard people scream "We no go gree o, we no go gree, Addax must go, we no go gree", I quickly rushed out to see where the noise and chants were coming from, I was left so agape and amazed, when thousands of people had taken to the streets, all with banners and posters, with the inscriptions "ADDAX MUST GO...ADDAX MUST LEAVE IZOMBE FOREVER", and just when I thought I could observe what was happening, my journalistic spirit urged me to quickly break this news, and so I quickly went back, picked up my camera and came out and started covering the situation, I discovered it was a peaceful but very angry demonstration. The people of Izombe were protesting against Addax Petroleum Development Company, asking them to leave their land, that they no longer want them in Izombe again, and should pick up their properties and leave Izombe.
Addax Petroleum Development Company is a multinational oil corporation which came into Izombe and started operations in 1974 as then Ashland Oil, they produce about 5000 barrels of oil daily in Izombe aside the gas, which is four times more, their only offshore facility is in Izombe, and so I couldn't cohere or fathom out why the people would want such a huge oil firm to leave their land. Well my ignorant state and lack of decipherment was put to rest the moment I began coverage and started conducting interviews.
The people were so happy to see me, it was like finally, there is someone who has come to voice their hearts out, and air their cries, it was like, they had been living in isolation for so long, that their cries were never taken seriously, they had endured for so long that this time, when they saw me, everyone was so eager and anxious to show me all they could and tell me all they had stored in their hearts for decades; Children, women, youths, men, and Chiefs were all out, aggrieved, and was ready to spill fire and brimstone on Addax, which they had termed their enemy as I saw one inscription from the placards they were holding which read "Who is the enemy? ADDAX, who is the exploiter of the weak? ADDAX, Who is the oppressor of the poor? ADDAX...ADDAX, WE WANT YOU NO MORE".

I could see the rage and anger in their eyes, and hear the pain in their voices, as everyone was speaking to me, laying their grievances about the oil firm, on me at the same time, they told me how Addax Petroleum has been in their land for forty years, collecting their oil, and yet has done nothing to change their standard of living, they told me how the basic neccesities of life, such as electricity, pipe-borne water, good roads, and highly equipped schools and hospitals were seriously lacking in Izombe.
"We have been living in darkness for many years, we have no light, we have no good roads, our children cannot go to school because we can't afford their fees, our youths have all remained idle, even with those who are graduates, you need to see how we live our daily lives, it is terrible." Mrs. Christy Nkemdirim, the women leader of the community said.
I had already been circled round by the women of Izombe, who had come out in huge numbers to cry their hearts out, and lay their grievances against the oil firm. Mrs. Nkemdirim, leading a large group of very energetic, and angry women, took me to their marketplace (where they buy and sell goods and food items), she said words are not enough to prove to me how cruel Addax has been to them, and so I needed to see it for myself. I was devastated at the sight of the market, the terrain into the market is so untarred, not motorable, and all muddy. I was already feeling disgusted and irascible at the fact that I needed to walk on that muddy ground, so I could get the perfect glimpse of the market square. A vehicle took me in, but couldn't go any further and so I had to come down and walk. The villagers all accompanied me into the market square, showing me how dilapidated the market was with very appalling looking temporary structures, constructed as mini stores for each occupant and seller, I saw old rotten woods used to build the shops, I noticed the roofing sheets were so brown and worn out, punctured with a lot of holes, I saw, how some of the shops were almost collapsing because the structures were weak, old and needed an advanced renovation or total rebuilding of the market square. It was indeed a scary site.
The people took me right into the market, and even to a huge portion of the market, covered with very tall grasses, and heaps of refuse dumps, these refuse dumps were just inches away from some of the stores which some market women occupied and used to sell their farm produce, I couldn't go any further because the smell was so gross and tartful, and the route was also swampy and muddy, the oddious smell of urine and human waste filled the air, I could barely breathe because the air had been contaminated.
There, Mrs. Nkemdirim explained to me the condition they have been living in and doing business for decades. She said, that today was even a great day because it didn't rain, and hadn't rained for some time, but when it rains, the whole place gets flooded, the whole place gets so muddy, and dirty as the rainwater pushes some of the waste into the market square.
"Today is even better and a great day, when it rains, you will not be able to enter this market, because water will fill everywhere, the whole place would be muddy, and smelling, but because if we don't come here to sell, we cannot raise some money to feed our children, so we have to come, and we wear rainboots and jump into the rain to sell our items" She explained
"And Addax has been in our land for forty years, taking our oil everyday, making a lot of money from us, yet we cannot even have a befitting place to stay and sell our food items. That is why we the women, are saying Addax must go, they should leave our land, they should leave us alone, since they have refused to provide us with light, water, good roads, hospitals to treat our children, and build better equipped schools for our children, we don't want them again" The Women Leader said in rage.
Another woman who spoke to me, and identified herself as Ego Emmanuel, spoke with tears filled in her eyes, and a fervent voice, describing the situation of things in Izombe, she mentioned the absence of all the above mentioned social amenities and incentives, the women leader Mrs Christy Nkemdirim had mentioned, but added that they had in several occasions written to Addax and tried to seek an audience with them, but the oil company paid deaf ears to them. She added how 25% of their people were blind, and a whooping 50% of her indigenes having eye defects. This was another story entirely, she said it was indeed painful because they have been suffering from the effects of the oil operations and activities in their land and yet were enjoying nothing from the company.

The Chiefs and youths also concurred with the women on every issue and also emphasised on the eye defects, the people of Izombe were experiencing, with the same statistics quoted, I was told three out of the four kings of Izombe had gone blind as a result of the oil exploration in their land, but I could only see two of the Kings who were blind: HRH Eze Dr. B.A.E. Nwauwa, the Obi-Ukwu of Ndeuloukwu Autonomous Community and HRH Eze Dr. Oliver A. Okorowu, the Obi of Obeabor Autonomous Community, I happened to speak with them also and they were so bitter with Addax, and one of them said he was the one who brought Addax to Izombe as Ashland Oil in 1974, and was shocked that Addax had forgotten him and his community. The Chiefs told me to look at their roofing sheets, they had gone all brown, because of the oil activities and exploration going on in the community. Some of them took me to their houses to show me where they live and how they live, I was so disgusted and appalled at the living conditions of these people for years.
I went through some untarred roads, which was no longer news, as this was ubiquitous round the community. One of the oil landlords who had given his land to Addax Petroleum for siting their projects, took me to his house to show me how he lives, as I talk with him, I notice he is blind in the left eye, and he took me to his two bedroom bungalow, with concretes already tearing, and falling off, his zinc is brown, old, and leaks when it rains, and the wooden windows have been eaten by insects, and are already bad. Surprised why he should be living in this condition despite being a landlord to Addax by leasing his land for their projects, I am shocked beyond description, speechless beyond comprehension, and astounded as I am shown some lease agreement documents between oil landlords and Addax. I took interest in the one who received the highest payment for his land, it was the Maurice Nwoke family in Umuamaka village. He received N4,132.50k for 1653 square meters for 5yrs (1 Nov. 2008 - 31 Oct. 2013) as stated in the lease agreement I was shown, and there were some I saw as little as over one thousand Naira, (N1,000) How shocking, cruel, insolent, and exploitative could this treatment be? I just couldn't believe it.
I am taken to other houses, and one gets me so emotional because this person lived in a temporary built structure popularly known as (kharaboots), they use polytene bags, to cover their windows, and use raffia palms to roof their houses, they also sleep on muddy floors with mats on the bare ground as ventilation seems to be a problem when sleeping at night.They told me at night they are faced with two options of opening the windows and doors to get air but face mosquitoes or close the doors, and Window to prevent mosquitoes but face adverse heat due to the lack of ventilation. They tell me how as many as five of them will sleep on the ground in one room, because they can't afford to build a decent apartment.

Another shows me her kitchen or cooking place, she says she uses firewood, and therefore built a little kitchen with merely sticks, four sticks standing in four angles and roofed with raffia palms, I see her cooking a meal in a charcoaled pot, with woods lit under to cook her food. From her kitchen, she takes me to her toilet, and the sight and smell was so harsh and dismal, as they defecate in pit toilets, or a ground dug so deep and sticks kept above, and the user gets to climb up the sticks, and squats down, facing his buttocks to the ground and then pushing out or emptying his bowels into the ground.
This seems to be the daily life of the people of Izombe, this is how wretched and poverty-stricken they are, coupled with the fact that they lack basic social amenities, life is so tough for them, that living is a battlefield for them. The people are struggling so hard to live a life they have been coerced into, but can't change it since they look helpless, exploited, side-lined, powerless, and speechless, because they are up against oil giants who according to them have now become "tormenters, exploiters of the poor, torturers of the weak, and do not care about their wellbeing or welfare, except oil and gas deposits"
Each day that passes by, I think about how lucky I am to live a decent life, and yet somewhere in Imo State, Izombe to be precise, they are people who can't afford a three square meal, people who live in cancerous environments, people who don't have even as little as electricity to live normal lives, they charge their phones for one hundred Naira, each time it is plugged, pay to watch television outside, and the filling stations around inflate the prices of Petroleum, since it is an essential commodity to these people, I think about the little children, who are born into this environment, who bathe and drink the water, I am told is acidic as a result of its pH level which sometimes is as low as 4.4 for rainwater, and 6.1 for borehole, I worry as I hear these words "if there is an emergency, and anyone is sick, that person dies because before he is transported to Owerri, it is already too late".

Izombe needs help, Izombe needs to be taken care of, a community as rich as Izombe shouldn't be begging for electricity, pipe-borne water, good roads, good schools and highly equipped medical centres, a community like Izombe shouldn't be threatened with eye diseases, and sicknesses, it is hightime somebody rose up to their responsibilities and salvage the people of Izombe, they need help, they are begging to live and survive. Please something needs to be done to alleviate if not totally ameliorate their problems, before these people head for extinction. The help you render today may be all Izombe need to chant a new course.

"I AM PROUD TO BE NIGERIAN, NIGERIANS IN THE DIASPORA SHOULD BRING THEIR CHILDREN HOME TO INTEGRATE WITH THE NIGERIAN CULTURE" - Author, Ibitola Ojoye

2014-06-08T14:30:00.001+01:00

The Author of "ACCEPTANCE", a bestseller book in the UK, Ibitola Ojoye-Adebayo, has admonished all Nigerians living in the diaspora to come back home. Ibitola, a Nigerian based in the UK, but is presently in Nigeria for a visit, in a two hour interview with NIGERIA WE SERVE'S Anchor, Okim-Alobi Oyama via telephone, asked Nigerians in the diaspora to endeavour to bring their children back home to enable them integrate with their home land and get acquainted with the culture of Nigeria.

In her words she said "A lot of Nigerians make the mistake of coming to the UK, and refusing to let their children get in touch with the beauty of the Nigerian culture, they have let their children get so integrated and caught up with the western culture, that these children don't even know where they come from, and how else life is lived outside the UK, especially in Nigeria. They get so caught up with things and are exposed to a lot of western culture through their interaction with their peers, and the media such that they forget that they come from a great country, Nigeria"

Ibitoba who spoke about her book "ACCEPTANCE", said that it is a book revolving between a Nigerian mother and her child, whose enstranged relationship have drafted them apart as a result of a cross pollination of culture. She said a woman escapes to the UK at the age of 16, after being haunted by woes of the Biafran war, she passes through thick and thin, refugee camps, and all that, and finally escapes to the UK, and now is grooming a daughter, who she's overprotective of, and is aggresively controling her, such that she imposes a lot of things on her which conflicts with the new western culture her daughter has been exposed to, and therefore this poses a lot of challenges, and strangeness in the relationship her daughter has with her which ends tragically when she looses her husband, the love of her life in an Abuja plane crash as her daughter supports his coming back to Nigeria against her wishes, and takes it all out on her daughter.

The mother of three, said the story is trying to depict what most Nigerians go through, and how the Nigerian culture is at conflict with the western culture, as a mother tries to impose all her authority and culture on her daughter who by the way sees a different lifestyle and culture, because of where she's brought up, and this puts an enormous hindrance in the mother/daughter relationship. She said most Nigerians have exposed their children with the western culture, such that the children no longer know any other culture than the one they've been brought up with, and that's why when a mother tells her teenage in daughter in the UK don't do this, her daughter asks "Why?" whereas, even adults in Nigeria still adhere to the directives of their parents whether they like it or not, without objecting or asking why.

She used that medium, to explain why most Nigerians abroad have a misconception about Nigeria , "Most Nigerians misconceive Nigeria because of what the international media portray about the country. The international media showcase issues of poverty, sickness and disease and suffering in Nigeria, and this affects what people in the UK think about our country. But then I say, even if the media portrays poverty, sufferings, and negative things in Nigeria, shouldn't that want to motivate you to come back home and Change Nigeria? Shouldn't that make you decide to come back home, and try to see what you can do to change the situation of things in Nigeria? This should prick you to say this is where I come from, this is what my people are suffering, it isn't fair that I am here and they are there suffering, this should make you decide to come home and help Nigeria." she said

"The media can't tell me who I am, or where I am from, the media can't tell me who I am suppose to be, the media can't decide where I come from and how my life should be, I am the one who decides that, I am the one who decides who I want to be, or what I want to do or who I am suppose to be, I am the one who makes that choice, therefore if the media shows me how frustrating Nigeria is, how problematic Nigeria is, it is my duty to aspire to come to Nigeria and change Nigeria, it is my duty to come to Nigeria and improve her condition, nobody will do that for me, except I myself because I am Nigerian, I am proud to be Nigerian, I am proud to come from Nigeria, and nobody can't take that away from me" The Acceptance Author said

"Nigerians should therefore not shut out their country, they should from time to time visit and also bring their children especially those in their teenage age to come and see where they come from, when they interact with their peers in the country, when they meet with people, they on their own will consume the Nigerian culture and integrate it in them, and now find a way to balance the Nigerian culture and the Western culture they have imbibed in the UK".

When asked why most Nigerians who go abroad don't come back home or why most of them shut out their family members and rejects any form of communication with them back home, Ibitola Ojoye said "You wouldn't blame some of them for their actions, most of them come to the UK or even the US illegally, and have no documentation of their stay abroad, and therefore this prevents them from travelling because there is no proof of their existence abroad, so some of them stay that long, figuring out how to get their papers intact, and in that period, they can't leave to anywhere because if they do, they cannot come back to the country. Also, why wouldn't some of them reject communication with their family members when most of them call because all they want is to ask you to send money or do this or do that, without realising it is not all rosy here in the UK, there are people who are poor in the UK, there slums in the UK, there are people who don't have jobs and can't afford a three square meal daily, and when these people try to explain their situations to their families back home, they refuse to believe them, because all they want is to collect from them regardless pf their situations, so this sometimes drives Nigerians in the diaspora to remain incommunicado with their family members back home."

Ibitola, expressed the joy, freedom, and peace she feels when she visits Nigeria, as according to her "You don’t find such peace and freedom in the UK, parents have now been so security conscious and alert, they don't let their children go out and integrate with people, because gang membership is on the rise, and people, kids, grown ups are stabbing their fellow people on the streets every now and then, you don't want your children mixing with these kind of people, you don't want your children becoming gang members themselves, you have to be very careful, and when you are in the UK, you just have to lock yourself up, and be so conscious of your immediate environment so you don't become a victim of a trendy gangster slaughter in the UK".

She used that opportunity to condemn the activities of Boko Haram in Nigeria as she says "I don't understand why a group of people will pick up arms and instead of fighting for how to make the country a better place, they go about killing their own people, I mean who does that? I don't understand the agenda of Boko Haram, and their activities are unacceptable in every ramifications.

Mrs. Ibitola Ojoye-Adebayo says she is excited to be here in Nigeria again, as each time she visits, she gets refreshed and is so happy interacting with friends and family members in Nigeria, as well as enjoy delicious food, beautiful music, acrobatically entertaining dances and the overwhelmingly embracing attitude of the Nigerian people.

"I will continue to come to Nigeria, I will continue to bring my children to Nigeria, there is no place like Nigeria, I am proud of Nigeria, so proud of this country, that I wonder what I would have been if I didn't come from Nigeria. At first when my parents sent me here to boarding school, I was withdrawn, angry and unhappy because I believed I just didn't belong here, but now I know why they sent me here, now I know why they wanted me back here, and I am so glad I came to Nigeria. I believe in Nigeria, I believe we are great, and I believe each and every Nigerian should strive to make Nigeria a better place", the Nigerian born UK Author of "ACCEPTANCE " said.

Nike Oshinowo Unveils her Twin Babies (Photo)

2014-05-06T10:37:00.000+01:00

Ex-Miss Nigeria Nike Oshinowo and her too cute twin babies – a boy and a girl are on the latest cover of Hello Magazine. Nike welcomed her babies last year October via a gestational surrogate in the United States of America. And this is the first time their pictures are hitting the internet.

Here's what the excited mum told Hello! magazine:

On whether she will keep her twins in the spotlight:

This is the only interview I’m going to give about it because my children didn’t choose to come into this world or choose to be famous that way. I’m the one who’s famous. My children are not famous. I’m hoping they’re going to be able to live very normal lives.”

On having children at 48

“I think one thing you should know with me is that I’ll tell you the truth. If you dare to ask a question, I will answer. The answer might freak you out, but I will answer you as honestly as I can. It can happen to anyone, I’m not special. I’m very close to my creator, and to be close to your creator, you don’t have to go to church or to any special pastor, you just form a one on one relationship with your God.

I'm not supposed to be able to have children. I have endometriosis. I didn’t decide it was time, God decided it was time.

I was out of my marriage, and I was lying in bed, talking to my God “Okay, so, here I am, is this what you want for me? Please tell me the next step. What am I supposed to do now?” and I fell asleep. As I slept, I felt a tug on the bedding and I open my eyes…

I’m saying you have a choice to choose. I chose to have my children look like the rest of my family. I chose to have my children look like my cousins, the children of my sister, the children of my brother – all the same colour. I did what I needed to do to make that happen. My children bear Oshinowo. It’s a very good surname to have!”

Her current relationship with ex-hubby Dr Tunde Soleye

“The attraction to Dr. Tunde Soleye was his mind. He had and still has an amazing mind. I can’t really explain it, but I’m not a highly sexual person and I’ve never been able to be. If you are not, you have to be able to be attracted by other things and he has a phenomenal mind. Don’t forget I wasn’t 18 or 20 or even twenty-five at the time. I was forty! But I have to say I was very much in love.

Was I…guided? More by my heart than my head. Isn’t that nice to be sometimes? Am I embarrassed by that? No. Do I regret it? I don’t. I’m very grateful to have experienced it. It doesn’t happen that often. Would I do it again? Probably not in such a hurry. It took 7 years for me to agree to date him. When I say I wouldn’t do it again in a hurry, I meant I wouldn’t rush into another marriage in a hurry because all the love in the world is still not enough to sustain a marriage. There are other key components.”

I will sell them,' Boko Haram leader says of kidnapped Nigerian girls (Video)

2014-05-06T10:25:00.002+01:00

Click to download

Fears for the fate of more than 200 Nigerian girls turned even more nightmarish Monday when the leader of the

Islamist militant group that kidnapped them announced plans to sell them.

"I abducted your girls. I will sell them in the market, by Allah," a man claiming to be Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau said in a video first obtained by Agence France-Presse.

"There is a market for selling humans. Allah says I should sell. He commands me to sell. I will sell women. I sell women," he continued, according to a CNN translation from the local Hausa language.

Boko Haram is a terrorist group receiving training from al Qaeda affiliates, according to U.S. officials. Its name means "Western education is sin." In his nearly hourlong, rambling video, Shekau repeatedly called for Western education to end.

Girls, you should go and get married," he said.The outrageous threat means the girls' parents' worst fears could be realized. Parents have avoided speaking to the media for fear their daughters may be singled out for reprisals.

U.S. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said the video "does appear legitimate."

The tape won't intimidate or deter Nigeria from efforts to save the kidnapped girls, the Nigerian government said.

"It is disheartening that someone would make such a terrible boast," Doyin Okupe, spokesman for President Goodluck Jonathan, said in an interview with CNN.

"It is to be expected of terrorists," he added. "No group can affect our resolve. We will see this through to the end. We have the commitment and capacity to get this done. No matter what this takes, we will get these girls."

On Sunday, Jonathan vowed, "Wherever these girls are, we'll get them out."

But he also criticized the girls' parents, saying they weren't cooperating fully with police.

"What we request is maximum cooperation from the guardians and the parents of these girls. Because up to this time, they have not been able to come clearly, to give the police clear identity of the girls that have yet to return," he said.

Boko Haram will not make Nigeria disintegrate – Jonathan

2014-04-20T22:59:00.001+01:00

President Goodluck Jonathan on Sunday reiterated that Nigeria would overcome its current tribulations and that no criminal group, including Boko Haram, could make it to disintegrate.

The President stated this when FCT Minister, Sen. Bala Mohammed and Sen. Philip Aduda (PDP-FCT), led some residents to pay him Easter homage at the Presidential Villa.

The President said the hope brought by the resurrection of Jesus Christ gives him assurance that insurgency in the country was ephemeral.

“To me, Easter is the most important in Christian faith because our hope would have been in vain without the resurrection of Christ.

“The resurrection of Christ gives us hope. Just like Christ told the people when he was alive that his disciple will face tribulations.

“As a nation, we are facing tribulation but surely we have hope. Surely, we will overcome the tribulations.

“Even those who think that this country will be divided into North, South, East and West, will not see it come to pass.

“The Boko Haram will not make Nigeria to disintegrate’’, he stressed.

On the bomb blast at Nyanyan, he said, “when it happened, people from all religions and classes participated in the evacuation of those injured even before the security people arrived.

“Those who donated blood were ordinary people from everywhere, irrespective of their religious beliefs or tribe.

“That showed that there is no criminal group funded within or outside this country that can lead to disintegration of this country.

“No criminal group will make this country to disintegrate. Boko Haram will come and go.’’

The President said his administration would continue to work very hard to strengthen the security agencies.

He urged states and local governments to complement the efforts of the federal government by initiating development and employment generation programmes.

He thanked Nigerians for their prayers for the nation.

On his part, Mohammed thanked Jonathan for the positive initiatives in transforming the country.

He said the FCT community would continue to cooperate with the government.

The Chairman, Senate Committee on FCT, Sen. Smart Adeyemi said “Nigeria is a nation of God and its leaders and followers must put their trust in God to overcome every tribulation.’’

Earlier, the President, his mother, Ayi and top government officials, prayed for peace, tranquility and security of the nation at the Easter Sunday service in Aso Rock chapel.

The prayer was led by the Chaplain of the chapel, Ven. Obioma Onwuzurumba and other clerics.

The congregation prayed that “the resurrection of Jesus Christ will roll away the stone of insurgency, insecurity and bloodletting in the country.’’

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Chief Imam of Abuja, Ustaz Musa Mohammed and some Moslem leaders in the FCT, were in the delegation.

Primate of the Anglican Church, Arch. Bishop Nicholas Okoh was also in the delegation.

Others were the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Sen Anyim Pius Anyim, ministers, Managing Director of NAN, Mr Ima Niboro and other presidential aides, (NAN)

Gay banker strangled his wife after marrying her to hide his sexuality

2014-03-19T08:58:00.004+01:00

A bank worker who married to conceal his homosexuality strangled his wife a few months later with a metal vacuum pipe.
Jasvir Ram Ginday throttled Varkha Rani and tried to destroy her remains in an incinerator after going through with the arranged marriage to please his parents.
The couple tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in India last March – even though Ginday, 30, had confided in a friend years earlier that he was attracted to men,
He had travelled to Indiavwith his mother to find a bride and met several women before a match-maker known to both families introduced him to Miss Rani.The bride, who had completed a degree and a master’sdegree in science and information technology in India, moved to the UK to live with Ginday in August after being granted a visa.
But just a month later, police discovered the unrecognisable remains of the 24-year-old bride in the back garden of the home they shared with other members of Ginday’s family.

Prosecutor Debbie Gould told a jury after killing his wife, Ginday had forced her body into a 22-inch deep metal incinerator in an alley beside their home. Officers also discovered Miss Rani’s wedding ring inside the 22-inch deep incinerator.

He called police that night to report her missing – claiming she had walked out after assaulting him and had only married him for a visa to get into the UK.His ultimate intention was to play the role of victim, safe in the knowledge that he could rely on his married status as a permanent excuse for never having another relationship with a woman...his respectability and that of his family’s would be secured.Miss Rani was ‘in all senses a stranger in a strange land’ following her arrival in the UK last August, and appeared to be isolated, friendless and alone.
The financially secure defendant, meanwhile, was ‘staring reality in the face’ and would have had to explain any attempt to divorce his new bride.
‘His marriage was motivated by a desire to please his parents and conceal his homosexuality from them.‘Over the years the defendant made contact with gay chat lines to discuss his sexuality, he developed a network of gay male friends and he attended gay clubs in the Birmingham area.’

The court head Ginday and his wife had been alone in the house at Walsall, West Midlands, on September 12, the day of the murder.

That afternoon, neighbours saw smoke and likened the smell to that which comes from a crematorium.
When one concerned resident knocked on Ginday’s door, he claimed he was simply burning rubbish.
Police searched the property that night after Ginday made the missing persons report, but they did not look in the garden.
They returned the next night after neighbours reported seeing black smoke for the second day running.
Although Ginday had attempted to destroy his wife’s body, Wolverhampton Crown Court heard that a woman police constable ‘lifted the lid (of the incinerator) and found herself looking down on a human skull which was severely burnt’.
Miss Gould said the skull was not complete and had only a few teeth, while the body was described as being ‘folded up and foetal-like’.

An examination of computer equipment showed that somebody at the property had searched for incinerators online around four weeks before Miss Rani’s death.
Miss Rani’s father, Surjit Singh told the jury he had no idea his son-in-law was gay, and didn’t even know what the term meant. He said through an interpreter that he had been ‘shocked and distressed’ after British police had explained it to him.Of course I wouldn’t have let her marry him if I had known. I have never heard of it before.

Meet 3year old Transgender-Would you do this to your kid

2014-03-19T08:48:00.003+01:00

Kids are born very innocent but when your little baby wakes up one morning telling you she/he is trapped in the wrong body at such a tender age and your little child is insisting she/he wants to live and be addressed as the opposite sex, what would you do as a parent? Would you encourage them to become transgenders at such a young age? Well, meet 3 parents who did just that, guys...

Although she was biologically born a boy, Coy Mathis felt from the very beginning she was a girl. At first, her parents Jeremy and Kathryn Mathis didn’t think much of their son’s behavior. Coy took his sister’s pink blanket, and shunned the car they gave him for Christmas. Then, Coy told them he only wanted to wear girls’ clothes. At school, he became upset when his teacher insisted he line up with the boys. He was becoming depressed and withdrawn, telling his parents at one point he wanted to get “fixed” by doctors.

When his parents learned he had gender identity disorder — a condition in which someone identifiesas the opposite gender — they decided to help Coy live as a girl. And suddenly, she came out of her shell. Eventually, at 18 months, Coy became identified as a girl, officially dresses as a girl and is recognized as a female on her passport and state I.D. Defending their action, Coy's parents said:

“We could force her to be somebody she wasn’t, but it would end up being more damaging to her emotionally and to us because we would lose the relationship with her.

As a toddler, Jazz knew she wanted to be a girl, even though she was born a boy. She would unsnap her onsies to make it look like a dress. And if people called her a 'good boy' she would correct them, saying she was a good girl.
Eventually, by the time she was five, Jazz was diagnosed with Gender Identity Disorder and she started her transition from being a male to female, with the full support of her parents.
Jazz started dressing like a girl, had her ears pierced and underwent hormone therapy that will prevent the growth of body hair and other male sex characteristics.And help her instead develop into a woman.

During an interview, when Jazz was asked if she was worried about finding a boyfriend since she was attracted to just boys, she replied:
'I am a little bit. But if any of the boys decline me because of my situation then I just know they’re not right for me at all.'

In 2013, Wren Kauffman, came out to the public as a transgender boy. Wren's mother, Wen, explained her son, who was born as a girl, wanted to "express who he was" by the time he was 4. He wanted to wear boys clothes and would ask "when do I get to be a boy?"
His parents were still on the fence on how to handle his transition, until his sister Ava said to them, "Wren wants to be a boy. He really wants to be boy. He really is a boy."
The family went to a psychiatrist who told them to allow Wren to live as a boy. They did and he is a much happier child. He will undergo hormone therapy and, if he chooses, sex reassignment surgery later on.

Wren dreams of being a photographer or maybe a child psychologist to help kids like him. His advice?:

"Tell your parents. They may not be the most understanding at times, but they love you in the end, and everything's going to be OK."

The 21-year-old took to Instagram to show off her fresh unique ink on Friday: a "sad kitty" on the inside of her lip.

Police Arrest 6 Christians In Enugu For Destroying Pagan Shrines in their Community.

2014-03-10T08:19:00.004+01:00

The police in Enugu State say six persons have been arrested over their alleged involvement in the burning down of shrines in Umuaji, Ezeagu Local Government Area.

Vanguard reports that the suspects, members of the Indigenous Christians of Umuaji, carried out the act during their special crusade.The group reportedly claimed that the burnt shrines were responsible for the backwardness of their community and her indigenes, adding that they had the approval of the natives to destroy the shrines as part of spiritual cleansing of the area.

But while Christians in the area were celebrating the destruction of the shrines, the four priests in-charge of the burnt shrines reported the arson to the police which led to the arrest of Nnaeme and members of his group.

Police spokesman in the state, Ebere Amaraizu, stated that the police has commenced full scale investigations into the “incident of burning down of different sacred shrine houses in the community as well as damaging of other valuable items at Umuaji Aguobuowa in Ezeagu local Government Area of Enugu State. He said:

“On 7/1/14 in the early hours, a group known as Indigenous Christians of Umuaji led by one Joseph Nnaeme, alias 404 gathered themselves and went on rampage during their crusade in the community and during which different sacred shrines of the community were burnt down and other valuable items damaged. Six persons have been arrested in connection with the incident just as the state command has advised members of the community to remain calm and law abiding while the investigation lasts”.

Meanwhile, the four priests in charge of the affected shrines have described the act as sacrilegious.

BOKO HARAM MEMBER RECIEVES DELIVERANCE AT THE SCOAN

2014-03-10T08:15:00.002+01:00

Nearing the end of the service, Prophet T.B. Joshua announced that a young man had a confession to make. The man by the name of Mustapha confessed that he was a member of the Boko Haram sect, which he explained was a cult. He admitted that his initial mission to The SCOAN was to place a bomb in the vicinity with the intent of killing hundreds. Mustapha, who said he was accompanied by four others, had the explosives hidden in a bag. They sat down to eat at a restaurant very close to The SCOAN, explaining that Emmanuel TV was playing in the background as they ate. At that moment, Prophet T.B. Joshua’s prayer for viewers began airing.

Mustapha, who had never been to Lagos, attended church or seen T.B. Joshua before, said, “By the time you (T.B. Joshua) prayed and laid hands on the screen, it was like you were there with us and you joined our midst. As you laid your hands on the screen, you laid your hands on our face. That was when confusion came between us; everybody scattered.”

According to Mustapha, ever since that incident, he had no peace of mind. “Since that day, I wanted to go home but I am not fit. Any time I lie down, I will be seeing you in my dream. The thing is bothering me too much. I don’t sleep in the night; I always see you. You are disturbing me. You keep praying for me and laying hands on me. I want to sleep well. I cannot close my eyes without seeing you (T.B. Joshua). Please, help me.”

Several hours later, T.B. Joshua readdressed the issue and brought the young man forward again, stating that God had warned him of the impending attack several weeks ago and that he had been engaging in intensive prayers for the past fortnight. “It was not a surprise to me because I have seen it. My mission is to separate him from the spirit that is controlling him to do that. We are not to fight mere flesh and blood,” he explained.

As Prophet T.B. Joshua prayed, the Boko Haram member fell on the floor before beginning to vomit some strange substances. There was a tattoo of a scorpion clearly visible on his shoulder, which Mustapha explained was a sign of the cult. He further explained that this was the first mission he went on where this had happened as he had never failed before. After praying for him again in the power of the Holy Spirit, the young man fell once more to the floor. Upon getting up, tears were in his eyes. “The spirit leading him to kill is gone,” Prophet T.B. Joshua declared! We thank Jesus Christ for this mighty deliverance.

2014-03-10T08:10:00.002+01:00

Here is what Ik wrote accompanying this photo
