Have fun with my people out there!!!! #Barcelona #surgery"

Man narrates how he escaped from suspected ritualists in Lagos

38 year old Dennis Joseph has narrated how he was divinely saved divinely from suspected ritual attackers in Lagos recently. His story which he shared with National Mirror below ...

"My name is Denis Joseph. I am 38 years old. I am from Imo state, Owerri North Local Government Area. I was born in Port Harcourt. I graduated from Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Enugu. Presently I am into the distribution of Nestle products in Lagos and other states of the Federation. Recently a customer called me from Ikorodu that he needed some products urgently and that I should come and see him for proper negotiation before the second day. At about 2pm the following day, I boarded a Siena minivan from Ojota .We were about five in the vehicle including the driver of the vehicle I asked them how much was the fares and they told me it was #200.
I said it was okay since the vehicle would be faster, I said no problem. I was in a hurry to catch up with my appointment. As we were going ,my spirit was very cold. I now flashed back to what happened at Ojota, shortly before we took off. I discovered then that some people in an attempt to enter the vehicle held back. they did not enter the car. It was unusual for my spirit to be so cold like that if there was no eventuality or imminent danger. As we moved further since my spirit was not willing and becoming uncomfortable in the car, I told the driver,’ Oga , please stop me here, I told them felt like continuing with the journey, let me pay you your correct fare. The driver responded that he could not stop at the place they were because it was dangerous since it was an expressway more so because of the law enforcement agents. I said please stop me let me get down here, the journey meant nothing to me again but he refused. He accelerated the speed. I told him it is not dangerous for him to stop and that I could see vehicles stopping and people moving about freely and that there was no danger in it. Before I knew what was happening, he increased the speed. In the process it became dawned on me that the occupants were not normal people. So I started struggling with them to go out. They started saying their incantation. Their invocation was so much that I knew it was only God that could save me at that point even though I believed that as a Christian, I would not die in the hands of those people. My escape was not possible because I was sandwiched by two men on my sides, with another at the back. I started shouting in the vehicle; leave me I want to go out. But my shout was inaudible since the windows were closed. Because of the way we sat there was no way I could jump out easily. Then I hit on the car, I hit on the other side, all my hands got bruises in an attempt to escape danger and death. Blood started coming out of my hands. I found out that they don’t want to stop as I was shouting and screaming. One of them said to me that why are you proving too stubborn, don’t you see other passengers in calm position. I did not even mind him. All these things happened shortly after Owode, Mile 12 area of the state. As I was doing that, one of them told the driver that we better hurry up o, this guy is proving too stubborn. They said this guy is not the type of person we need o, we better hurry up. It was when they started saying this that I discovered that they were not ordinary people and out to harm me. Fortunately for me and bad for them and through divine intervention and on coming trailer from the other side had blocked the road and the car could not penetrate the small opening. The car could not bypass the big trailer so it had to stop. I continued shouting. That was how they stopped abruptly and I came out of the car. Then some Policemen and people came round to inquire about what was happening. I narrated everything to them and they arrested the remaining occupants. They started asking them why are you doing this? The Police searched the vehicle and found dangerous weapons, charms, knives and all those fetish things. Me I started thanking God for delivering me and rescuing me from their hands left the place. I did not follow those apprehended to the Police. For the fact that I came out of the vehicle safely was okay for me. God just saved me miraculously from those people. So I thank Him. Because if not God I don’t know if I could have survived it. Those people are ritualists because they did not even asked me for money. They were only after my life. My advice to people going on a journey is for them to pray before they go out. So as to prevent unexpected mishaps. They also have to be careful and look well before boarding any vehicle. The Police too need to be in strategic places so that they would know who is who during the day, afternoon and at night. Even when people are shouting or struggling inside the car or bus, they will be able to respond easily and follow up the vehicle. That was what helped me and people started to come round to help me."he said.

F/Eagles seek first win over Brazil

The Flying Eagles, will aim for a first-ever victory and first goal against five-time champions Brazil on Monday in an opening World Cup Group E match at the Stadium Taranaki in New Plymouth, New Zealand.
Both countries have met four times at the FIFA U20 World Cup with Brazil winning thrice, while the last clash ended in a goalless draw.
Their first meeting was at Mexico 1983 when Nigeria debuted at the tournament. The Flying Eagles captained by late Ali Jeje and boasting the likes of Femi Olukanmi, Tarila Okorowanta, and Paul Okoku lost 3-0 to Brazil team who had Bebeto and Dunga.
The second encounter was in the Soviet Union (USSR) in 1985, when Nigeria lost 2-0 to the Samba Boys in the semifinals.


Brazil completed a hat-trick of wins over Nigeria at Chile 1987 with a ruthless 4-0 thrashing of a team that paraded the likes of Etim Esin, Nduka Ugbade and goalkeeper Willy Okpara.
The last meeting was at Holland 2005 when coach Samson Siasia-tutored side recorded the first point against Brazil with a goalless draw.
The Flying Eagles lined up Mikel Obi, Promise Isaac, Chinedu Obasi, Sani Kaita, among others.
The present class of the U20s are a team to beat in New Zealand and could well record a first win over the South Americans on Monday.
Former U20 stars Abduljeleel Ajagun and Kehinde Fatai, both of Panathinaikos (Greece) and Astra Giurgiu (Romania) said the Flying Eagles are capable of going all the way to win Nigeria a first-ever U20 World Cup trophy.
“This present U20 team is solid, I have been reading a lot about them from the U17s till now, they have formed a formidable unit. I believe they will beat Brazil and go all the way to the final and win the trophy, but they must take it one game at a time and concentrate,” predicted Fatai.
Ajagun, who captained the Flying Eagles to reach the Round of 16 in Turkey two years ago, said: “Flying Eagles are favourites to win this competition.
The African champions have drafted as many as eight players who were not at the African Youth Championship in Senegal in March with the likes of Kelechi Iheanacho, Isaac Success and Wilfred Ndidi expected to start on Monday.
Brazil, on the other hand, struggled in the South American qualifying tournament to finish a disappointing fourth.
They replaced their coach less than three weeks to the big kick-off, but must be boosted by 1-0 wins over both Portugal and Australia in warm-up games leading up to the World Cup.
Star player is playmaker Andreas Pereira, who has already made his debut in the EPL with Manchester United in March.
However, they will be missing the inventiveness in attack of Kenedy, who has been replaced at the last minute by Malcolm after he suffered an appendicitis issue which required surgery in Australia.

HOW LINDA IKEJI BROKE THE INTERNET, BLOG NOW WORTH N1.1 BILLION

She’s nothing like one of those popular Biblical characters; not even a man to start with but scattered like pieces of jigsaw puzzles all around the life of this former Nigerian model turned Blogger, are empirical evidences that draw the mind into the story of the man called David – Once looked down upon, not given much of a chance, picked on by the darkest force imaginable by mankind and just like this man, Linda Ikeji could see everything she had worked for in her life slipping through her fingers and at the point where the final ray of light was about to fade into oblivion, she bounced back, created a blog, posted a story, two, three, four… expanded her frontiers and today, we can officially tell you that Linda Ikeji has broken the internet by officially becoming Nigeria’s number one news/gossip content website after overtaking the almighty ‘Nairaland;’ a website that had remained Nigeria’s number one website for a stretch of years.

For the records, Nairaland, while it was Nigeria’s number one website, (and because it was number one) had an offer of $5 million to sell  and smile to the bank but guess what, the brain behind Nairaland refused to sell for any price; to show how valuable the website was but as at the time of writing this, Nairaland has lost the number one spot to Linda Ikeji; who now owns a website we estimate to be worth over N1.1 billion judging by the $5 million offer Nairaland once turned down; with the current exchange rate pegged at $1 exchanging for N220. This offer came years ago and by implication, if the offer were to be made today, it would by all means exceed the earlier $5 million offer, which points to one irrefutable fact – Linda Ikeji’s blog is presently worth much more but we’ll sit and have a drink with the aforementioned figure for the time being.

Over the years, through a combination of seeds of hard work Ikeji had persistently sown, the harvest of fortune bloomed; they bloomed so well that in less than half a decade, Linda Ikeji became a reference point for success stories and the resonating message that with hard work and diligence come a reward that restructures destinies.
Linda Ikeji was not born with a silver spoon and of course her journey to the point where she is today, came at a price – she went through series of unbearable challenges but she refused to give in to the deviant voices that never failed to whisper to her to embrace the easier and less dignifying option – Linda Ikeji chose to work hard to earn a decent living; one she would be proud of. A lot of the time, she was afraid but she never threw in the towel; not because there was no towel but because she was having fun blogging.

What started with less than a dozen stories eventually opened up into archives of posts, images and fans who constantly looked forward to her writing. She didn’t have all the money she needed to hire writers or get an office but she trudged on. Today, Linda Ikeji rules the Nigerian online scene like a colossus – riding her stallion christened ‘lindaikeji.blogspot.com’ into the field like a Roman war General but with a sea of compassion and kindness sitting in the centre of her heart.
Single-handedly, Linda Ikeji inspired a new generation of writers under the umbrella of bloggers; who now compete with established national publications like ThisDay, Punch, Leadership, Vanguard, Channels TV and ovation for attention and business online.

In 2014, for instance, Linda Ikeji decided to hire writers; something she had always planned to do but had never really had the financial capacity to do when she was not blogging. Once upon a time, she wrote personal things about herself but today, Linda Ikeji receives advertising and PR briefs from billionaire politicians, multinational brands and A-list celebrities but once upon a time, she had to manage her scarce resources to even remain online as internet subscription plans were largely considered a luxury as they were not particularly affordable.

To understand the length Linda Ikeji goes to ensure she remains heads and shoulders above all indigenous rival brands, it is important to point out that her competitors include national publications line Punch newspaper, Vanguard, Complete Sports, Thisday, Guardian newspapers, Leadership newspaper, Ovation magazine, AIT, NTA, Silverbird Television and countless others; with hundreds of employees strewn all over different states of the federation yet she holds the aces of sitting on top of the list.
Another unassailable fact about this phenomenal blogger with a pretty face and a far prettier physique is that without her, a large chunk of bloggers today would be out of business as the practice of ‘copying and pasting’ her stories on their blogs has become something f a necessity.
In the current Alexa ranking in Nigeria, Ikeji ranks number one news content blog (with the exception of Konga and Jumia, which are purely e-commerce websites). Ikeji’s blog places 13 on Alexa’s current ranking. The top websites in Nigeria; from the top down are listed below:

1. Google.com
2. Google.com.ng
3. Facebook.com
4. Yahoo.com
5. Youtube.com
6. Jumia.com.ng

20. Dealdey.com
21. Vanguardngr.com
22. Instagram.com
23. Aliexpress.com
24. WordPress.com
25. Zendesk.com

A look at the list above reveals the sheer investment, dedication, sweat, sleepless nights, consistency, creativity and passion that Linda Ikeji has poured into the blog, which has naturally become an extension of her personality. Earlier today, Ikeji reminded fans and readers that in 2009, she was the MD/CEO of Blackdove Communications. “I ran a modeling agency and events company… I gave up on the office in 2010 when I couldn’t afford the rent anymore and moved my business back home. About a year later, the blogging I started in 2006, changed my life,” she wrote.

Despite her overwhelming success as a blogger, Linda Ikeji, 34, remains extraordinarily determined, simple, ambitious and single.
“I want to give back to the society. I feel like I am 10 percent done, I haven’t done 90 per cent. That’s the way I feel. Hopefully in another 2 years, I will accomplish another 40 to 60 percent before I turn 40. Ultimately, I would have accomplished 100 percent,” Ikeji told iCampus

In 2014, she bought herself a N24 million Range Rover to celebrate her 34th birthday with money derived from advertising and PR campaigns – a far cry from the MD who struggled to pay her rent half a dozen years ago; a reminder than when you work hard, life will always realign to reward you.

Interestingly, prior to the moment she began blogging, she had pursued a career as a journalist and once explained that the reason she remains single is because she has not found a man she can spend the rest of her life with.


Linda Ikeji is the second of her parents’ 8 children.

For ikeji, things once got so rough for her especially during her days as an undergraduate; so hard that she would leave lectures, go to a hotel and sell beer from 1pm to 10pm just to make ends meet but today, there are millions of Nigerians whose days remain incomplete without visiting her blog and interacting with other visitors therein via her heavy traffic of comments.


We congratulate Linda Ikeji on this incredible feat and urge her to keep typing!

Paris puts an end to romance, bans lovelocks, to remove all existing ones

Sorry romantic lovers heading to Paris, the Love Lock Tradition is about to be wiped out. The city of Paris has decided that to end the tradition of tourists coming over and dumping bits of metal all over its bridges, starting from Monday, the padlocks will be removed from the Pont Des Arts & plexiglass panels will soon replace the grills. The Pont Des Arts has been the most popular bridge with up to 1 million locks thought to be attached to the railings. The City has however had enough.

According to the council in charge, the locks are causing ‘a lasting degradation of the heritage of Paris and also a risk to the safety of visitors.

This is somehow Justifiable because a part of the 'Pont Des Arts' collapsed sometime ago due to the weight of metals attached in the name of love.

Bedroom Runs: Different Strokes For The Couples

Do couples really have different taste bud? Yes they do but many find it difficult to comprehend these changes, rather they most of the time think that something is wrong with them or their spouse. But experts have made it clear that couples’ s*x taste bud differs from age to age, and the earlier a spouse is aware of this, the better it is for the partner.

This awareness is particularly useful for couples who have obvious age gap between them. The understanding of this will assist each partner to s*xually please his or her spouse and, of course, help reduce cases of infidelity to the minimum for the man.

Couples’ s*x drives and taste change with age. For instance, couples within the ages of 20 and 30 years mostly share s*xual similarities in taste, preference, flavour, and craving in respect of their temperament, while couples within the ages of 32 and 39 though have the same s*xual favourite, passion, desire and yearning than those within the ages of 45 and above but the similarities could be altered by their temperament, nature of job/career and lifestyle.

Experts say those in their 20s and 30s have great s*xual chemistry and energy at their disposal. It is the stage where both partners fall madly in love and constantly produce high levels of dopamine and norepinephrine. These chemicals not only make young couples feel extremely active and excited, they drive up testosterone – the hormone that fuels the s*x drive in men as well as in women – to the highest height. Apart from this, many couples at this age bracket have lots of time at their disposal. Because these young couples may be with or without children, mornings and evenings are blissfully theirs for romantic romps. What’s more, they are at the beginning of their s*xual life and they have a long way to go.

This is the stage where you hear the man complain of premature eja-culation. Because of the s*xual tension between the couple, the man sometimes gets so excited that he eja-culates too quickly. There should not be reason to worry even when couples experience premature eja-culation at this stage because it may be basically as a result of anxiety of performance; the challenge will soon fade away. Or since both of them are so young, the man may be an amateur lover. And this is the stage they skip foreplay as they may see it as torture. Nevertheless, this is the time they could really get to know each other’s body and to figure out their likes or dislikes. The couple should see this as an opportunity to create their own sexual template. Actually, for this age group, this is the time to try it all and talk about what both of them are trying out.

Sometimes, couples are clueless about what to say at this point to really heat s*x up. You have to tell each other what you want. But for many young couples at this stage, talking about s*x may sometimes be embarrassing. This can be especially true of women who may not realise that giving their partner some s*xy instructions in bed is likely to turn them on.

To get comfortable with the kind of talk that drives men into action, a wife can try this slightly ridiculous game. This game lets you reveal where and how you want to be touched (as well as finding out his hot spots) without saying a word. Just tell him you want to practise his favourite move but that he has to physically tell you what it is. Sit nu-de in the middle of the bed, facing each other. Lock eyes with him and fantasise about what you’d like him to do to you while he concentrates on what he wants you to do to him. As if that aren’t fun enough, try to read each other’s mind. After a few minutes, share your thoughts. By now, you should both be hot enough to say anything and be ready to go ‘gaga.’

You can decide to do a ‘leave in message.’ It’s another way for each of you to communicate what you would like without saying a thing. Either of you may go all out to buy an erotic gift and leave a note on the fridge in the morning saying that you don’t mind changing position to a ‘kneeling down and taking off style.’ This style is so unique that it is not a regular style but a special one that you engage in when you want to have a time to remember. And while doing that, take note that for you to get the maximum pleasure, you have to take your time to slowly and passionately rip off your clothes in a wild ride. That is how you really get to know every erotic spot on your mate.

You can even time yourselves to know how far you both can endure heavy foreplay before actual s*x. For a start, set a timer for maybe 20 minutes one day, 30 the next and 40 the day after (every other day could be a good idea). This will force you to figure out each other’s pleasure threshold. Or try this technique: put four little bells on four silky strings, and tie one around both your spouse’s wrist and ankle. Then tell him or her not to jingle while you check out the body geography. Partners can learn a lot about what turns them on just by watching their facial expressions as they struggle to stay still.

The age of 32, 39 or thereabout, hormonally speaking, is a great time for a couple. The man’s testosterone level is still high enough to keep him hot, but he’s not as frivolous as he was in his 20s, when a sideways glance at his wife could spark a raw fire within him and turn him on and keep him hard all day long. Those slightly lower levels of excitement may mean that he may still not have put any premature eja-culation problem behind him, or he may be having new set of dysfunction challenge. The wife may have dry spells when she is pregnant or breastfeeding (both of which can decrease her s*x drive), it is common for breastfeeding women to have inadequate vag-inal lubrication. But experts agree that this is the age when most women hit their s*xual stride.

“In their 30s, this is when majority of spouses are more confident with their bodies, their mates and their s*xuality. They are less afraid to speak up about what they like, so they are more likely to have orgasms. Although the two of them may have come off that initial wild passionate s*x, they may likely settle into what experts call the attachment stage: a period of closeness and contentment when both share a general sense of union and peace of mind. The kind of connection a couple in love share at this stage drives up levels of oxytocin and vasopresin (the two chemicals that flood the brain with feelings of well-being). Here, they think of s*x in the brain before the body. A research was carried out on couples within these age ranges to know the percentage of s*x in the brain.

Researchers wanted to know how much these couples think about s*x on a daily basis. The result are as follows: once a day, 34 per cent; once an hour, 44 per cent; whenever I hear love music, three per cent; I’m too busy to think of it much, 19 per cent.

Besides, it is at this stage that such couples are caring for kids and building careers, so they have less time for spontaneous s*x. Making s*x truly sensational happens when they find ways to put it on their schedule, whether that means more quickies or making foreplay a part of everyday life. But whatever the case may be, the passion must not go off. You both can flood your s*xual senses by carving out a day when you’re not so tired that you can’t imagine wanting to get busy in bed. You can refocus with this relaxing but racy ritual, which will wake up you and your husband’s senses. 

Innocently invite him to “talk” over a favourite dish and your favourite music while you change out of your work clothes. Once you’ve stripped down to your underwear, lean over and lick his neck while unbuttoning his shirt. Next, work your way down to his nips, where that tingling sensation will fill his head with s*xy thoughts. 

Stimulating your senses is the best way to shut out distractions and ease your way into the bedroom. Even when you’ve got in the mood, you may still have to fit what you used to do in three hours into just few minutes. This makes both of you so connected to each other and s*x becomes even more intimate and soulful, no matter how swiftly you both do it...

Remember, when nature’s doing less to push you into the bedroom, just get down and do it. The more you make love, the more you think about making love. And the more you think about making love, the more you want to make love. But shake things up. Now is the perfect time to explore new moves, since after so many years together, you feel comfortable enough to try wonderful play with your mate or to just be close together than ever before. Besides, at this age, men crave for some s*xual surprises. So ladies, give your man something to reflect on.

My parents are using my destiny to get wealth-University undergrad cries out(Photo)

In a series of shocking allegations that have left his parents heartbroken, a 21-year-old undergraduate, Demilade Osholonge, who was initially reported as kidnapped, has accused his father and mother of engaging in occultism which he alleged was behind the many spiritual attacks he had been experiencing since he was 17.

Demilade spoke with Punch in hiding, maintaining that he would never return home to his father, Mr. Fatayi Osholonge, a lawyer and his mother, Olufunke, who is an evangelist.

Soft-spoken, with a mien that gave a hint of the affluent home he came from (a fact he confirmed), Demilade went into a narration that sounded much like a story out of a novel.

He told our correspondent, 

“It started when I was 10 years old and I started to see a young boy with blood coming out of his mouth.Sometimes, I saw the boy in a dream, sometimes I saw him even when I was wide awake but I was always the only one seeing him. I told my parents about it but they waved it off as mere dreams.

It continued till I was 17 and I started to bleed from the mouth as well. The first time it happened, I just noticed blood coming out of my mouth. I would wake up sometimes and blood would be coming out of my mouth. Sometimes, I would be wide awake and notice the taste of blood in my mouth.”

Asked what step his parents took when he told them, he alleged that they did not take him to the hospital for a checkup even after seeing the blood.In the family home at Ajah area of Lagos, Demilade alleged that he frequently experienced spiritual attacks. He was asked to elaborate.

“Sometimes, I feel someone beating me while I sleep without actually seeing the person. Sometimes, I would lie in bed and not be able to move my body at all no matter how hard I try,” he said.

He told our correspondent that he became so frustrated with the strange experiences and the fact that he never got help.

“As the years went on, I started noticing that my parents were engaging in occultism activities because they visit herbalists and strange prophets,” he alleged.

 When asked what evidence he had of such activities, Demilade said they sometimes took him along.

Demilade also alleged that in 2014, his parents took him to two Ifa priests in Ondo town in Ondo State, during which incisions were made on his waist. He lifted his shirt and showed the incisions on the left side of his waist.

He told Saturday PUNCH that the bleeding from the mouth continued despite the visit to the priests.

Our correspondent asked whether Demilade’s other siblings in the house also experienced anything similar to the claims he made in his allegation and he explained that when he discussed it with his younger sisters, they told him none of them experienced such things.

How then did he arrive at the conclusion that his parents were behind his “spiritual attacks?” Demilade alleged that his suspicion became clearer to him when he ran away from home.

He said, 

“I was a 200 level Mass Communication undergraduate at the Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo, but I decided to drop out so that I could be out of reach of my parents.

“After I fled from home, I told my step-brother (Michael Ebun), who is my mother’s son from a previous marriage, about my problem and he took me to the house of a prophetess, Mrs. Mercy Oyebo. As soon as we got to the woman’s house, she prayed for me and I vomited blood.

“I got deliverance and gave my life to Christ right away. Since that day, I have not vomited blood. I have been a good Christian since then.I stayed along with my step-brother in the woman’s house between March and April 2015 for intense prayer sessions. We left after the sessions and I have been living with a friend at Maryland since then.But I realised my parents were behind my problems when my mother started calling and cursing me over the phone. She said she would make me run mad. There was a time she was reciting incantation when she called me and I froze.”

Demilade declined to disclose his current home address.

“My parents are rich, they are using my destiny, that is why they want me back home desperately,” he alleged.

He said life is hard for him currently because he no longer enjoyed the affluence of his parents but maintained that he would rather suffer physically than be turned into an imbecile.

Asked about the motive behind bringing his story to the public, Demilade alleged that his parents got his step-brother (Ebun) arrested on charges of kidnapping.

“They locked him up for three days for kidnapping me. He only tried to help me. I have even spoken with the police on the phone that I was not kidnapped, but they insisted that I should come over to Panti (Department of Criminal Investigation, Yaba), where the case has been transferred to. If I went there, they would hand me over to my parents,” he said.

Saturday PUNCH learnt that Ebun has since been released on bail.

But issues took a different dimension when our correspondent contacted Demilade’s parents. They maintained they could only speak in the presence of investigators at the DCI.

During the encounter at the DCI, Mrs. Osholonge said she believed her son was still holed up in the prophetess’ house and that she had hypnotised him to the point that he was not thinking straight.

Demilade’s mother gave an off-the-record detailed narration of what she believed was the reason behind his son’s strange behaviour, but she insisted she did not want this information published.

When asked how she would respond to the allegations of occultism, spiritual attack, visits to the herbalists, incantations and curses made by her son, she said all she wanted was to have her son back.

Our correspondent learnt that indeed there was an open case of conspiracy and kidnapping on Demilade’s issue, which the prophetess (Oyebo) is still wanted for.

A police officer who is familiar with the investigation said, 

“We have spoken with this woman (Oyebo) on the phone. All we need is for her to come and give her side of the story. But all she did was send me a nasty insult by SMS. If she did nothing wrong, why is she in hiding?” He showed our correspondent the SMS.

The officer also said the police need Demilade to come forward to prove that he was indeed not kidnapped.But Oyebo has said the officer was the one who first spoke rudely to him after she called him to explain her side of the story.

When our correspondent spoke with Oyebo, she alleged that she had made several attempts to see Demilade’s mother but that she had refused to show up. But Demilade’s mother said Oyebo is the one who had been avoiding her.The prophetess said, 

“Did the boy sound like someone who was hypnotised when you spoke with him? I told the boy to go to the office of the police public relations office to present himself and he did.I wanted to have a talk with the mother because the steps the boy was taking were not good for the family. I wanted the matter resolved. I did not want him to live like a homeless child. But she refused to show up.The boy said there were so many things he knew about his parents which was why they wanted him back so he does not spill the secrets. If the boy said going to his parents would mean the end for him, would I be the one to drag him to them?

“I swear to God almighty the boy is not under my roof. I realise that if the boy is handled with care, he might just travel out of the country if he finds the means.I have reported this case at the National Human Rights Commission in Lagos. I have been advised to write a petition to the assistant inspector-general of police, Zone 2, Onikan Lagos and send a copy to the Lagos State commissioner of police. After I have filed the petition, I will show up and we will tell Demilade to come and tell the police if I kidnapped him or not.”

Actor turned politician Desmond Elliot took to his twitter account today to reveal he's being sexually harassed by a gay man named Steve. This is the same person who has been accused of harassment by a few actors including Yul Edochie. What Desmond wrote after the cut...

 Okay a subject matter at hand. In the last 7 months or so, I have been constantly harassed by a man named Steve I have asked him politely, harassed him, spoken to him cursed him out just for him to desist from his sexual advances toward me but all to no avail..

His constant stalking and harassment I believe has been witnessed by some of my male colleagues in the film industry.I told him 2weeks ago that if he didn't stop I'll be forced to take it out, my phone lines, I have to put off cos he calls every second of the day, ALL LINES, my watts app is bombarded with photos of his past love life and the very second you block his number he generates another and the unending calls continues. He is based in Canada, Igbo name I believe is Onyebuchi.. 

I have called my Canadian friends to help out.. the Canadian police have called many times, one lucky time he was asked to stop but I believe that's the best they can do. please my people who are lawyers how do I go around this.. A humble plea. I believe there must be someone who knows him or heard about him because this guy isn't new at all.. He's taken my number to Many sites and I get calls from everywhere asking to connect for things am alien too.

Photo: Two friends die trying to stop a suicide bomber

2 volunteer security guards (pictured above) are being hailed as heroes for stopping an ISIS suicide bomber reaching worshipers at a mosque in Saudi Arabia yesterday.

Independent UK reports;

Two young men who reportedly stopped an Isis suicide bomber entering a mosque in Saudi Arabia are being hailed as heroes after being killed when he blew himself up.

The friends, named as Mohammed Hassan Ali bin Isa and Abdul-Jalil al-Arbash, died after reportedly turning the attacker away from the Imam Hussein mosque in Dammam yesterday. Eyewitnesses claim the man was disguised as a woman and tried to enter through a closed female entrance before going to the main gate, where the pair were manning a civilian checkpoint.

 They saved a lot of lives by stopping the bomber from getting inside the mosque,” a local man, who asked to remain anonymous, told Middle East Eye. “They are both heroes.”

They chased the suicide bomber when he tried to enter the women's section of the mosque in the south entrance,” he added.Abdul-Jalil was reportedly 25 and had recently returned from studying at university in the US, getting married just days ago.

One of the men’s mothers, Kowther al-Arbash, is a high-profile writer for Saudi newspaper al-Jazira, Middle East Eye reported.
Photos of the pair were circulating on social media today, with people calling them heroes and “martyrs”.
Videos also emerged claiming to show the fathers of both men praising their sons' heroism.

A video from inside the al-Anoud mosque showed the moment the explosion was heard outside, with prayers being interrupted by a huge blast that shook the building, causing people to jump to their feet and shout in the ensuing panic.
