Soundcity VJ Moet Abebe Gets Blasted Over Instagram Post

Anyways, recently Moet Abebe, Soundcity VJ, posted a photo of herself and her colleague Pearl Cardy on Instagram, with the most derogatory caption, you have ever seen;

13year Old Girl Passed from One Man to Another as They Raped Her in Turns

What we see nowadays is horrible to point out the least, what describes a grown man, who prefers to have sex with underage children that women old enough?. Anyways, here’s the sickening moment a brutal paedophile puts the finishing touches to grooming a vulnerable 13-year-old girl.

A little girl who ran away from home, was unfortunately picked up off the street by two others, who had no intention to help her but took her to a hotel, where they passed her from one to the other.
However, CCTV footage was filmed, she was held down on the bed and raped by Shakeal Rehman, 26. He then made way for Mohahammed Shapal, 22, who also had sex with her in the same room.
And sadly, according to a police officer who interviewed her;

“She has properly been groomed and she believes they love her. We know she is a victim, but she doesn’t know she is a victim. She is definitely not in victim mode.

And when you’re interviewing her, she’s protecting these people. She doesn’t want to get into trouble”

The police stated that, her travails started when a cabman;

“She says she stays in the taxi driver’s bed, he’s saying to her ‘Oh you’re beautiful’, and ‘you’re lovely’ and starts kissing her. She says he’s sexually assaulted her four times.”
The cabbie left Marta at a bus stop with another man who promised to get her to Leeds. He called her “beautiful” and said he wanted to be her boyfriend.
She ended up in Bradford, and was picked up by a man called Shaz who took her home and molested her.
After he dropped her in the city centre, Rehman arrived in his car with Shapal and offered her help. He took her to the hotel and raped her.

And the little girl said;

“He held me down so I couldn’t breathe. He raped me then. He was laughing all the time.”

So sad – Why?

Shekau Comfirms no Ceasefire, Threatens to Kill Fake Negotiator

For those of you that still have any little hope that the ceasefire between the Federal Government and the Boko Haram sect actually happened, as sad as this may sound, it is better you snap back to reality, as a new video obtained yesterday showed the leader, Abubakar Shekau, dismissing claims about ceasefire talks between his group and the government.

In a new Boko Haram video obtained by AFP yesterday, the terrorist showed militants on an armoured vehicle parading down a road in an unidentified town they have taken control of and the group’s leader Abubakar Shekau preaching to the residents.
In the 44-minute video, Shekau, dismissed government claims about ceasefire talks and threatened to kill the man who presented himself as Boko Haram’s negotiator, also stating that;

“We have indeed established an Islamic caliphate. To everyone living in Islamic Caliphate, we convey our greetings,” he said, specifically mentioning “brethren” in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Azerbaijan, Shishan (an Islamist term for Chechnya), Yemen, Somalia and “The caliphate in Iraq and Syria.”

And is this not the same Shekau they said they killed??? – Plus how can a whole government fall to such ceasefire prank ???

Why pastors need private jets ––PFN President Pst Omobude

Pastor Felix Omobude is the General Superintendent of New Covenant Gospel Church, an arm of Gospel Light International Ministries, GLIM, and the National President of Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN). In this interview with Vanguard, he speaks on some national issues as well as life as the PFN President and its challenges. Excerpts:

The country just celebrated its 54 years independence, yet Nigeria is unstable. The Boko Haram insurgency has dealt a big blow on the nation killing thousands of people including Christians. What is your view?Nigeria is a great nation. We have overcome many ordeals. Boko Haram does not determine Nigeria success. Today, Nigeria is a nation many other countries have to emulate. Although, we have challenges of corruption, inequality and injustice, we must celebrate the good things that happen to us.

Boko Haram is an issue but I also believe that the God who saw us through the civil war will see us through this challenge. Boko Haram will become history in Nigeria. I honestly commend the armed forces, many of them have paid the supreme price.

As much as I agree that Boko Haram is attacking the Church,

it has also killed many Muslims, and their leaders, including emirs. I think the Boko Haram issue is beyond religious crisis. It is a deadly and evil ideology and the Church has paid a huge price. As at last month, over 750 houses have been destroyed. Many people have become widows, orphans to the activities of Boko Haram. We will continue to pray and sensitize our people against insecurity. We have also in our own little way rendered assistance to the affected people. PFN launched a fund, called “Emergency Relief”, for victims and people have donated to it and so many people have benefited. We are calling on all PFN members to join in this calling.

Do you think government is doing enough to curtail insurgency in the country?

‘Doing enough’, to me, is relative. Within the limits of what is available, the way things are, I think they are doing well. But I believe they can do more. You probably know that many security personnel have paid the supreme price trying to defend us. Insurgency and extremism are over the world, it is not an easy war to fight. Nations stronger than us have spent a lot in terms of human and material resources trying to defend themselves and they are still doing so. Nigerians should be patient. It’s not an easy war. It’s not like the regular war.

What is your take on the issue of corruption in Nigeria?

Corruption is a hydra-headed monster that has killed this nation gradually. If you take a very close look at it, it permeates almost every sector of the country. You pass through airports, people offer services for which they are paid and they are asking you if there is anything for them. It’s a shame, it’s an embarrassment. We must all resolve to hate this thing called corruption. Some people will fight it, some people will pay the price for it, but it is something that we must all fight. I believe also that you journalists can help us to highlight the issue. I am just hearing that the United Nations said this government is very corrupt. I don’t know how they came about that. But I’m worried. I am telling you the truth. Corruption, even in the Church, can be very saddening. Corruption in the military, corruption in the police, even among you, journalists. To point at Jonathan, this is one of the problems of this nation. People dump garbage at the centre of the road, and you blame government. When are we going to take responsibility?

Do you envisage the breakup in the country?

I believe it is better to stay together and remain strong with each other.

As the PFN President, so much have been said about pastors owing jets. Are you also thinking in this direction?I am honestly waiting when you, the reporter, will come and deliver one to me. If anybody donates to me, I will be glad to receive it. But, it is not in my agenda.

Should pastors own private jets?

This has to do with our developmental process, if a man has the resources. For the man who oversees several thousands of church branches within and outside the country... [I see no problem with that].

We are struggling to stay afloat, First Consultant CMD recounts experience since hospital was reopened

The Chief Medical Director of the First Consultant Hospital where the first case of Ebola was diagnosed in Nigeria, says as an organization, they are struggling to float after reopening for business last month. In an interview with Tribune yesterday, Dr Benjamin Ohiaeri said himself, his staff and their families still face firsthand stigmatization even after being certified free of the Ebola virus

"Since re-opening, we have witnessed firsthand what it means to be stigmatized. At a time when you would think we would be appreciated for our professionalism in containing Ebola, we are enduring a significant depletion in patient-turn up. We are down on numbers by a factor of about 90%. But for the generosity of friends and family, Aledo Peterside, Tunde Ayeni, Diamond Bank, etc., this business would have collapsed. Even now, we are struggling to stay afloat. It has been very tough indeed."

"The loss of Dr Adadevoh, Dr Abaniwo, Evelyn Uko and Ejelonu, four key members of our team, the first two of who were the most senior of our medics and members of the Hospital Executive Committee, has been hard. They were colleagues, they were family. We are talking of a lifetime of working as a close team - as confidantes, as family. So, yes it’s been very tough. As well as our fallen heroes, we have many of the survivors here. Medics, who placed their lives on the line to avoid Ebola spreading to the general public; they suffered the trauma of threats to their lives and the horror of rejection, in many cases, simply because they once had Ebola. The families of our people have suffered horrendous victimisation too. Children of the dead hounded out of rented homes just when they needed compassion; the husband of a sufferer thrown out of his job simply because the employer learned of his wife’s condition. The pain, the suffering, the horror goes on and on. Still, our people are back at work, doing what they do best - caring for the ill. For the hospital, we are inching back to life. As you know, the place was shut down for nearly three months while it was decontaminated by the WHO. So, our business was essentially shut in all that time, though our expenses, salaries, among others, continued to run" he said.
