Bizarre: N4.3b spent to prosecute Ibori – Senate

Image
It was shocking and earth-shaking in the Nigerian Senate, yesterday, when it was revealed that the Jonathan government spent a whooping 14 million Pounds (N4.3 billion) to secure the conviction of Chief James Ibori, former governor of Delta State. According to  Vanguard  the disclosure was made by Sen. Victor Lar, Chairman, Senate Committee on Drugs, Narcotics, Financial Crimes and Anti-Corruption, during the 2015 budget defence of N542,199,776 for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC. Analysts say spending that much to secure the conviction of a single person is astonishing and baffling, especially as the person was tried and convicted in the UK and not in Nigeria. Political meanings are being read to what is seen as secret spending. Sen. Lar added that the N4.3 billion ‘is more than ten years recurrent and capital budgets of all the anti-corruption agencies put together’. It should be recalled that Chief Ibori was convicted on April 17, 2012, and sentenced ...

Image

However, Mrs Nagbe, the wife of the pastor, said she will carry on as before, because she can’t help it. She told Valley News Live: ‘I can't stop. I'm trusting God.’ Daily Mail reports that Mrs Nagbe moved to Lisbon from Liberiafor a better life and now feels disillusioned. She added: ‘In the United States it's one nation under God.’ The police remain adamant that she was causing a nuisance, with Police Chief Jeanette Persons stating that the problem wasn’t the praying, but the volume of her voice. She said: ‘I mean, we all need prayers and great she's out there praying for all of us, but it's just the volume of...

Husband plants 'juju' on cheating wife, lover gets stuck while having sex

Image
Worried about his wife's infidelity with his friend, a man living in Yeoville, Johannesburg, planted a precautionary 'juju' called 'muthi' or 'magun' in Nigeria, meant to stop a philandering woman from sleeping around. The man who is from Zimbabwe, also warned his friend whom he suspected of sleeping with his wife that he had now laced the potent charm on his wife and should stay away from her. But the friend, apparently not believing the man, ignored the warning and still went ahead to sleep with the woman and in the process, ended up getting stuck together during sex. According to  timeslive.co.za , a neighbour, Priscilla Ndlovu, who claims to be a resident at the same block of flats, said they heard screams from the room where the woman stays. "At first we thought it was just the screams of sexual pleasure, but it turned to be screams for help." The other neighbours had to call in the building security who forced the door open an...

Cynthia Morgan Frowns at female musicians who call themselves 'First Lady'

Image
                           Dancehall artiste and rapper, Cynthia Morgan has made it clear she is not your average female musician. She actually said she should be compared with the males not females..In a new chat with Encomium, she explained why she doesn't call herself "First Lady" like her female counterparts... I just feel you don’t have to flaunt it. If you have it, chill, let people do the talking for you. If you are really a first lady, let your works speak for you. I don’t believe so much in the first lady hype. On doing Drugs No way. I get high on my songs and that’s the only thing that keeps me going. I do not need to take anything to be energetic on stage. I’m an artiste, so whatever I put into my work when I’m recording I put even more when I’m on stage so there is no drug involved. I’m naturally an energetic person.

Effects of alcohol usage

Image
This is a matter of increasing concern to many governments, non-governmental organisations and physicians around the world, not to mention people in the law enforcement community. In many of such nations, the sale and use of alcohol is strictly enforced. In many pubs in the United Kingdom, there are usually clear warnings that the sale of even the mildest kinds of alcohol must not be to those who are less than 18 years of age. It is somewhat more liberal in Scandinavia but such regulations are more or less the same in the United States and Canada. That is not to say that breaches do not occur, but these occur more in default than being the norm. In major Muslim nations, there are sometimes specific elements of law enforcement that are charged with the regulation of this requirement. In our country, unfortunately, regulations often exist on paper. Beer and other alcoholic beverages are sold freely to all those who have the ability to pay for such drinks. No questions are asked and no a...

Priest Says God is a Woman After He Died, Went to Heaven And Came Back

Image
71-yr-old Catholic priest, John Micheal O’neal, was declared dead for more than 48 minutes, but he was miraculously revived by medics. Strangely he woke up with a shocking revelation that he had gone to heaven and met God, who turns out to be a woman. Father O'neal was rushed to the hospital on January 29 after a major heart attack, but was declared clinically dead soon after his arrival. Reports say doctors were afraid he would have suffered some brain damage from the incident, but he woke up less than 48 hours later and seems to have perfectly recovered. The priest claims that he went to heaven and encountered God, which he describes as a woman. States the Catholic priest; “Her presence was both overwhelming and comforting. She had a soft and soothing voice and her presence was as reassuring as a mother’s embrace. The fact that God is a Holy Mother instead of a Holy Father doesn’t disturb me, she is everything I hoped she would be and even more!”

63-Year-Old Married Swinger on Sex With 3,000 Men While Loving Her Husband

Image
        Marie Calvert had only ever had sex with her husband of 10 years until he introduced her to swinging when she was 28. Though she was reluctant and fearful that the lifestyle would dsestroy their relationship, they took to it like ducks to water and after 35 years, she has now had sex with over 3,000 men. Marie tells her story to the UK Guardian noting how she and her husband Barry learned to separate sex from love, how she started keeping her body count from the night she had sex with 14 men and how they set up a thriving Swinger's club. It was the night I slept with 14 men that I first started to try to work out how many partners I’ve been with. The truth is, I’m not sure. My conservative estimate is about 100 guys a year for more than three decades. I’m 63 now and I’ve slowed down a little – but only a little. Why do I do it? Having sex isn’t something I do for a living, but it is my passion. It’s the most enjoyable, exhilarating, satisfying way to spend...
