Woman jumps from moving car, causes crash

A San Bernardino woman slammed on her brakes and then stepped out of her car while it was still moving in a bizarre crash caught on a dashboard camera in Rowland Heights, California earlier this month. The crash occurred on Harbor Boulevard near Vantage Point at about 3:45 p.m. on Sept. 1.

In the video posted to YouTube, the woman behind the wheel of the 2010 Hyundai Sonata exits the car and allows it to cross the center divider and crash right into oncoming traffic.

Cars can be seen veering to get out of the way. The woman's vehicle finally stopped after hitting two SUVs.

The driver of the Hyundai was identified as 22-year-old Jasmine Lacey. She was taken to a hospital for "a non injury-related reason," according to the San Gabriel Valley Tribune.


Lacey was never charged with a crime. The drivers of the two SUVs suffered minor injuries.

Dean of Law in UNICAL suspended over alleged rape of student

The Dean of the Faculty of Law University of Calabar, Professor Cyril Ndifon has been suspended by the authorities of the school following an allegation that he raped a 20-year-old 400-level student(names withheld) in his office on August 29th.
Vanguard reports that the mother of the victim, Mrs. Irene Akpan had petitioned the Vice Chancellor of the school, Professor Ivara Esu over the allegations. A panel was set up and after much deliberation, suspended Professor Ndifon yesterday September 10th.

Narrating her daughter’s ordeal, Mrs Akpan said Professor Ndifon had set a one-hour test for the students on August 29th, assigning two lecturers to carry out the supervision. She alleged that 20 minutes to the end of allotted time for the test, he entered the hall and ordered the students to stop writing. She said while the students were preparing to submit their answer sheets, Ndifon approached her daughter, tore her answer sheet and left the shreds on the seat.

“He walked straight to my daughter’s desk, collected the script and tore it. He left the torn script on her seat, so the girl collected the pieces and put them in her bag. According to her, you will still have to pass through the faculty before leaving the building. She said as they were leaving, the dean accosted her again and asked if she still had the shredded script, she said yes. He instructed her to follow him to the general dean’s office to recopy the answers on another plain sheet, which she did.

The unsuspecting girl followed him to the general office where two people were, including the dean’s secretary. The office of the dean is on the first floor of the building, according to my daughter. She said while writing in that office, the dean who had earlier gone out, came in again and instructed her to follow him to his private office on the second floor so that she could comfortably use the table.".

Mrs Akpan said five minutes after getting to his private office, Professor Ndifon locked his office door, held on to the keys and started making sexual advances at her. They struggled for a while but he overpowered her and raped her.

Her daughter informed her about the matter and they went to Airport Police Station, along IBB Way in Calabar, where she gave statement and also had medical examinations at the police clinic.
Confirming the incident, the Public Relations Officer of the University of Calabar, Effiong Eyo, said the school authority was investigating the matter.

“A panel has been set up to look into the matter. The authorities are looking seriously into it,” Eyo said.

The Cross Rivers state state Police Public Relations Officer, Hogan Bassey, confirmed they were also investigating the matter “The case of rape or sexual assault requires discreet investigation and we have to handle it with care.”

Photos: See the village in America where the Yoruba culture is being practiced

This is Oyotunji village in South Carolina. The community was founded by a black America named Walter Eugene King who was born on October 5, 1928 in Detroit, Michigan, USA.

Eugene went to the Cass Technical High School and got fascinated by the African culture. He also got exposed to the Katherine Dunham Dance Troupe at the age of 20 which increased his love for the African culture, particularly that of the Yorubas.

On August 26, 1959, Eugene became the first African born in America to become fully initiated into the Orisa-Vodun African priesthood by African Cubans in Matanzas, Cuba. This marked the beginning of the spread of Yoruba religion and culture among African Americans.

With a few followers, and after dissolution of the Order of Damballah Hwedo, Eugene founded the Sango Temple in New York and incorporated the African Theological Arch Ministry in 1960. The Sango Temple was relocated and renamed the Yoruba Temple the same year.

In the fall of 1970, Eugene founded the Yoruba Village of Oyotunji in Beaufort County South Carolina, and began the careful reorganization of the Orisa-Vodu Priesthood along traditional Nigerian lines. He was initiated to the Ifa priesthood by the Oluwa of Ijeun at Abeokuta, Nigeria, in August of 1972.

He was named king of Oyotunji community in 1972 with the designation,  His Royal Highness Oba (King) Ofuntola Oseijeman Adelabu Adefunmi I, born Baba Adefunmi. He later died and his son, Adefunmi Adejuyigbe took over as king.

Man narrates how he was imprisoned for 15yrs for a murder he didn't commit

A 40yr old man identified as Effiong Elemi-Edu has narrated how he was imprisoned for 15 years for the murder of politician, Alfred Rewane, which it was later discovered that he was not to involved in.

Narrating his ordeal to Aljazeera, Effiong  who is from Cross Rivers, said on October 6th 1995 in the Ikeja part of Lagos state, he had gone out to buy suya for himself and his wife when suddenly he heard gunshots. According to him, he took cover and later decided to run to his house. As he made the move to run home, he was halted by an order from a police officer.



"I stopped. There were police officers, lots of them."

They asked him where he was going and he told them but instead of letting him go on his way, the officers pushed him into their vehicle and accused him of being an armed robber.

"I didn't understand what they meant because I was not carrying any weapon on me, just the money I was going to use to buy suya. They took us, myself and one other guy to SARS [Special Anti-Robbery Squad] at Ikeja, where they kept me under a tree. Later, they came and took me to the 'theatre'. There, there were two drums filled with sand. I was tied like a goat, two of my hands at my back; they crossed an iron rod at my back, and then hanged me" He said he hung in that position for One hour, 20 minutes.

"They tried to force me to admit I was an armed robber - they even shot me in the leg. I have never robbed anyone in my life. I was just a young man struggling to save money to get admission into a higher institution to further my education."

Effiong who had a dream of becoming a mass communicator had his hope dashed because an influential politician Delta state, Alfred Rewane, had been assassinated that morning by unknown gunmen at his residence in Ikeja GRA, a few hundred metres from Effiong's home.

Effiong was in the wrong place at the wrong time

"They held me for days. There was no phone at that time and there was no way for me to get in touch with my family. It was my wife who learned about it. I think the people who saw me when I was taken away told her. Then she travelled home to inform my mother. They wanted me to copy a statement they had written to say that I am an armed robber and that‎ I conspired with the others in the murder of Rewane. I refused. They beat me till my face was covered with blood which was pouring from my left ear.‎ I didn't want to die, so I recopied the statement in my own handwriting. The statement is what they used in implicating us. As I was recopying the statement, the only thing on my mind was that I didn't do anything and that my God will let everyone know the truth. It was later that one of the‎ policemen came to tell us that he was sorry, that it was an order from above.‎ Later, they charged eight of us with the murder of the man. I don't know the man, never heard of him. Those that I was charged with murder with, I had never seen any of them in my life."he said.

After being tortured and forced to admit guilt, seven of the men were arraigned before a high court, and sent to Kirikiri prison to await trial. But when the men arrived at the prison, prison officials insisted that the police take them to hospital to have their wounds treated. Instead, they took them to a police station - where four of the men subsequently died, reportedly due to the injuries sustained while being tortured by the police.

"The torture and suffering were too much," Effiong reflects.

Rewane's killing was later linked to the military junta of Nigeria's then dictator, the late Sani Abacha. But Effiong and two other men - Elvis Irenuma and Lucky Igbinovia, who had both worked for Rewane - continued to languish in prison.

Then, after 15 years, more than 200 adjournments and the prosecution's inability to produce any evidence linking the suspects to the crime‎, the trial judge discharged the case and acquitted the suspects, upholding a 'no case submission' made by the defence counsel.

"It appears to me that all the police did was to visit the venue of the incident and arrest the workers," the judge declared in her judgement.

So it was that, 15 years after they were arrested, three of the seven arraigned men - Effiong Elemi-Edu, Lucky Igbinovia and Elvis Irenuma - walked out of prison.

But gone was the fit 25-year-old who was picked up that night. In his place was a balding 40-year-old man who walks with a limp,  a constant reminder of the torture he endured.

"I spoke with Lucky recently, he's in Switzerland now," Effiong says. "I don't know what he is doing there. We speak but not regularly. [And] I saw Elvis in June this year. I am supposed to call him, only I don't have enough units in my phone."

As for Effiong, things are not going according to plan.

"I've been facing a lot of challenges, accommodation-wise, money-wise. I need to get my own place. Right now I'm squatting with my brother and his wife in a one-room apartment. That's why I'm praying to God to help me get a place of my own. "When we were over there [in prison] ... at times these churches [would] ... come over to visit. Immediately [when] you ... come out and say you want to go to church and give a testimony, they will look at you and say 'Where is this guy going?' Once, somebody came out [and] they accommodated him. [But] ... the guy packed everything away [stole from them]. So they [the churches] stopped helping other people."

Early on in his imprisonment, his wife would visit him. But the visits stopped without warning, and when Effiong was released, he heard that she had remarried. He had no idea where to begin looking for her.
Two years later, Effiong also remarried. His new wife, Juliet, lives in Cross River, where Effiong is originally from.

"My daughter is one year and four months now. I'm yet to set my eyes on [her]. Her name is Rose. They sent her picture to me. [But] I haven't travelled home to Cross River since 2013 because financially I'm not okay‎. I'm so down. If I see money now, I will travel home today, today, today. I can't tell you a lie, life has not been easy. What will I do? It's only by the special grace of God that one is surviving and living. Things are really so tough in the sense that I just leave everything to God. These days I watch football. Then listen to gospel songs. If I'm alone, I just go through my Bible. They wasted my time. They wasted the talent that God gave to me. At times it pains me, when I look at the way things are going. I know the level my friends are at now. Is it not my classmate in secondary school that is a commissioner in Cross River? The other one is working in Central Bank. The other one is a lawyer in Port Harcourt. But I don't dwell on those things. If I do, one day I'll just be struck down by a stroke. So I have to put all those things behind me [and] let the will of God be done."he said

Headmaster and Chemistry Teacher Caught Having Sex After School Hours

A married headmaster and a female teacher were allegedly recorded by a pupil having sex behind the closed door of his office, a disciplinary hearing …

Headmaster Graham Daniels, 51, and chemistry teacher Bethan Thomas, 37, were allegedly overheard making love from outside closed door by a pupil, who then put the camera phone’s ‘sex tape’ online.
A disciplinary hearing was launched into the “moans and panting” from behind the closed door of Mr Daniel’s office and could be struck off the teaching register if found guilty of “unacceptable professional conduct” at the Cardiff disciplinary hearing of the Education Workforce Committee.
However, both Mr Daniels and Miss Thomas resigned from 750-pupil Bryntawe Comprehensive School in Swansea, South Wales, after the tape emerged.
The pupil had been waiting outside of the office to be collected by her parents after an after-school French lesson and Ms Thomas approached her to ask the girl what she was still doing in school before knocking Mr Daniels’ door.
The hearing was told he called Miss Thomas inside – and soon after the girl claims she heard “the noises of people having sex.” and the girl said she became embarrassed and left the building to wait for her parents outside.”
Hmm!

The Only Thing Ambode Has Done in 100 Days is Rubbish Fashola – PDP

The Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, says Governor Akinwunmi Ambode’s performance in the last 100 days had made no impact on the people of Lagos but had only succeeded in fighting his predecessor, Babatunde Fashola…

While speaking to Punch, the Publicity Secretary of the Lagos PDP, Mr. Taofik Gani, said Ambode revoked several of Fashola’s policies and contracts – He said Ambode should rather launch a sincere and thorough probe of the Fashola administration instead destroying Fashola’s image in the media.
He said:

“Ambode’s performance has been dismal. I will score him 20 per cent and the 20 per cent is the achievement of the civil servants who have continued to work. The 20 per cent is not because of Ambode’s personal input.
“He has failed to appoint commissioners despite the fact that his predecessor is a fellow APC member like himself. His government should have hit the ground running.
“I advise him to first and foremost apologise to Lagosians for misleading them during the elections. Obviously, he was not prepared for governance.
“Ambode’s only achievement is fighting Fashola and he has not even done that properly. The people of Lagos want a complete probe of Fashola’s administration after which Ambode would forward a petition to the relevant anti-corruption agencies.
“After doing that, Ambode should face governance. What he is doing now is diversionary and it is inimical to the development of the state.”

You agree???

Nigerian Governors Kick Against Death Penalty For Looters

A lot of governors in Nigeria, out rightly rejected the suggestion that looters of the nation’s resources be sentenced to death as suggested by the Nigerian Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress-at the beginning of the week…

Labour said it was only by killing looters that the anti-corruption crusade being championed by President Muhammadu Buhari could succeed but most governors, who reacted to the labour suggestion on Thursday, said the death sentence would be too harsh.
According to Punch, Ogun State Governor Ibikunle Amosun said he would rather canvass that looters be sentenced to life imprisonment, rather than the death sentence prescribed by the organised labour. Amosun, made this known while addressing the state workers who had marched to the Oke Mosan state secretariat in Abeokuta to give their backing to Buhari’s anti-corruption crusade.
He said:

“Everybody knows President Muhammadu Buhari is transparent and meants well for the nation and would never want to hear anything about corruption.
“Even under 100 days in office, electricity is improving. People know that if you try it you are gone. I always say this, whether you are a governor, permanent secretary or labour leader, you cannot be corrupt under a leader that is not corrupt, because you will be punished.
“Unfortunately as a governor, I cannot be saying that capital punishment should be meted out to corrupt public officials. Because I cannot say that, that is why I will say that anybody that is found wanting, whether you are governor or any other public officer should be jailed for life.”
He however said that not only politicians should shun corruption but every Nigerian.
“It is not only politicians that should shun corruption, workers too should not be corrupt.”

Plateau State, Simon Lalong, also concurred with Amosun saying he would rather prefer life imprisonment to death penalty.
Governors of Ekiti and Rivers states, Ayodele Fayose and Nyesom Wike respectively, out rightly rejected death penalty for looters. Fayose, through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Idowu Adelusi, had this to say:

“In countries where death penalty was introduced, it has not stopped looting. In advanced countries like US, jail sentence is the penalty. What we need is proper moral education to change orientation of the people. Jail sentence is better; it can reform,” he told one of our correspondents in Ado Ekiti, the state capital.

Wike, who spoke through his special adviser on media, Opunabo Inko-Tariah, had this to say:

“Nigerians have a role to play by deriding looters and not to praise them for their fiscal irresponsibility. There should be a strong punitive measure to discourage looting because of its domino effects. When a treasury is looted, there won’t be money for the provision of necessities such as hospitals, roads, etc.
“Maybe because it happened in Ghana and the economy improved, the labour organisations want it in Nigeria. But that was a military regime and Jerry Rawlings was a military man. However, the extant laws on looting need serious and urgent review, even if the death penalty is discouraged.”

Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State said he was comfortable with whatever the people want in relation to punishment for looters. Speaking through his information commissioner, Kayode Akinmade, said if it was the wish of the people of the country that looters should be killed by law, “so be it’’ but that the process of law must be followed in carrying out such executions.
He said:

“We are not under a military rule; this is democracy and we have constitution that we follow. If it is put in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, irrespective of whether you are a governor or not, so be it. If that is what Nigerians want, it is okay.
“Everybody is against corruption, but there is a process of making law. Thank God we have a National Assembly and the state assemblies who are representative of the people. If such bill could be sent to the national and state assemblies and be passed into law, it must become a law.
“If the process is followed and it is the wish of Nigerians that looters be killed, why not? Let it become a law. It is a fact that Nigerians are not happy with this corruption tag, which has slowed down our economic development but if we have a law that will bring about capital punishment for the looters, it is okay.”

Whereas, the Governor of Nasarawa State, Umaru Al-Makura, supported that capital punishment be meted out to corrupt public office holders.

“I really agree with the NLC over call for capital punishment for any public office holder who is found guilty of looting public funds.”

What do you say???
