“This man, Ita Daniel Okpo, in a most wicked act, slaughtered his wife with a machete and we arrested him.

Gentlemen, but our findings revealed that the woman was sleeping when she was hacked to death”,

When asked, the man admitted to killing his wife but said he took the action after finding out his late wife was sleeping with other men.

“I regret my act, but I was forced to kill her because it was too much on me. In fact, at a point, she openly told me she would rather kill me than to stop sleeping with these men. To match words with action, she had been fighting me several times. So, on that fateful day, while we fought, I killed her” he said

OMG ?? See What a pastor of a church Is Doing to Single Female Members

So someone posted this on Facebook, alleging that a pastor of a church somewhere in the Caribbean asked his single female members to follow him to the beach where he will pray for them to find husbands. When they got to the beach, the poster alleged that the pastor asked the ladies to undress and said he needed to kiss their butts to open them up to finding their men and the ladies agreed.
This is what the Facebook user is claiming…looks more to me like ‘okpos’ and their pimps doing a photo-shoot. See the uncensored photo after the cut…

I Didn’t Say I’m Too Old To Rule Nigeria – President Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday spurned reports suggesting he regretted that his age would in one way of the other limit the extent to which he could perform in office as President.

The said reports in some national dailies has interpreted what Buhari told the Nigerian community at the country’s Consulate in Johannesburg, South Africa on Monday to mean the President said he would have loved being a President when he was at a younger age.
But clarifying on what he actually meant when he made reference to his age, Buhari who said nothing could be farther from the truth than the said reports, stated that on the contrary “old wines are tasty”.

Speaking through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the President noted that the Buhari Nigerians have in him today “is a man, like old wine, that has got tastier.
“At 72, yes, he can’t be called a youth, but he has in quantum the wisdom, the patience, temperance and forbearance that age brings”, Adesina added.
Recalling that the President himself had rightly told the Nigerian community that he was speaking extempore because he wanted to “speak from the heart”, Adesina said the Buhari was only urging them “to be good ambassadors of Nigeria, a country he went to the warfront to keep together”.
In a statement on Wednesday, Adesina said, “Still extolling the virtues of our country, Nigeria, the President, who had served as a military governor of then North-Eastern State at 33 years old, declared:
“The above comments have been reported by some newspapers to mean that the President was saying he was too old to cope with the demands of his office. Far from it”.
He added that the president has brought all these virtues of wisdom, patience, temperance and forbearance to the presidency to make a difference in the country’s national life.
Still recalling what Buhari sad, the presidential spokesman said, “The President assured the Nigerian community in South Africa that his Administration will make a positive impact on the country. And that he would do.”

Meet the African king with 100 wives...

Abumbi II, the 11th fon, or king, of Bafut, Cameroon, has close to 100 wives. They weren't all his to start with. According to local tradition, when a fon dies, his successor inherits all his wives and then marries his own queens. He inherited 72 of the women from his late father. He has also taken on over 500 children from all of his wives.

"The queens have a great role to play in the fondom," notes Prince Nickson, also of Bafut, noting that it is up to these women behind the man to shape him in his kingly role.

"Behind every successful man must be a very successful, staunch woman," says Abumbi's third wife, Queen Constance.

"Our tradition has it that when you are king, the elderly wives remain to hand down the tradition to the younger wives, and also to teach the king the tradition because the king had been a prince, not a king."

Despite the fact that polygamy is legal in Cameroon, the data shows that there are far fewer polygamous marriages across the African continent. The practice is being challenged by changing values, the spread of the Christian faith, the growing appeal of the western way of life but also the rising costs of having large families. It is against this backdrop that Cameroon's traditional rulers must walk the fine line between two often conflicting cultures.

"During colonialism other values came in, of governance, different from the traditional values we had and therefore there is this constant conflict between the traditional values and modern western values," admits Fon Abumbi II, who has ruled Bafut, the largest fondom in the region, for 47 years.

 

Some of the king's wives

"My role is to blend them, to find the way forward so my subjects can enjoy the fruits of development and modernity without destroying their culture. Without a culture, you are not a human being, you are an animal. And therefore the chieftaincy institution is the guarantor of our culture."

"I understand that we might be quick to judge the lifestyle of the kings, but just like in the United Kingdom, African kingdoms and kings are bound to a rich culture and history. (Practices) like inheritance of all your father's wives is nothing but a moral obligation."

On meeting the queens of Fon Ndofua Zofia II of Babungo -- one of Cameroon's youngest traditional rulers -- Methu CNN correspondent said:

"All his young wives, forced on him by tradition, spoke fluent English in a French-speaking region and were great marketers."

His palace

It is this seeming contradiction that makes life in the fondom fascinating and confusing. Are they stuck in the past or keeping pace with the present? Fon Zofoa III doesn't think you have to choose. He may have "inherited" 72 wives and more than 500 children after his father's death, but he considers himself a very modern king.

"To run a kingdom nowadays in this era, you must be educated because things are moving very fast. Like they used to say, education is light, ignorance is darkness."

Pictures Of A Galliant Soldier Killed By Boko Haram

 

Back at the Imo State University, as undergraduates, I respected him because he was gentle, mature and always smiling stylishly. Astute! Until one particular day while we were in the studio trying to do a cartography assignment, Chinedu Omeji told me Amos Erekose was a soldier boy. I didn't believe it until I saw his teeth sparkle.

Amos joined the battle against Boko Haram, once in a while we will chat about the war and tactics. December 2014, he was made a section commander. Januray 15, 2015 was his birthday. I prayed for him and my other friend Alvan Divine Amushie who were at the war front in Sambisa.


I was shocked this morning to hear that Amos died trying to bring peace in Northeast of Nigeria.

Keep smiling bro. It's sad to lose young brilliant men like you. You promised to fight to the end! Rest in peace Soldier.

AN HONEST man here lies at rest
As e'er God with his image blest;
The friend of man, the friend of truth,
The friend of age, and guide of youth:
Few hearts like his, with virtue warm'd,
Few heads with knowledge so informed:
If there's another world, he lives in bliss;
If there is none, he made the best of this
