WATCH VIDEO: Man Forcibly Circumcised in Public - Despite Him Having Two Wives And Allegedly 11 Children

A 39 year old man in Bungoma endured the humiliation of being cut in front of people, after his wife told the village that he was uncircumcised

On Friday, the Kenya Television Network (KTN) reported that a man was forcibly circumcised after his first wife exposed him following a quarrel. Thousands of people gathered at Chwele market to witness the cut, and the paramilitary group (GSU) had to step in to control the lively crowd. Bukusu culture dictates that the man should wait four months before community leaders advise him about manhood (despite the victim having two wives and allegedly, 11 children).

I am a regular visitor to the Northern Foreshore Estate, Lekki. When I was showed this document (see below) as one of the achievements of the president in the North East, I was immediately concerned about the similarities with the Northern Foreshore Estate, in Lekki. You can compare pictures of the estate against the image in the document prepared by the office of the Chief Economic Adviser to President Jonathan, Dr. Nwanze Okidegbe. Reno Omokri and his goons have been spreading this image as one of the successes of the president in the North East but it is indeed a private project in Lekki, Lagos. Residents or visitors to Northern Foreshore Estate, Lekki will immediately notice the semblance of the image on the government document with the estate. It is indeed not a semblance, it is the estate as we have since established.

God Answers All Prayers? Strippers Praying Together Before Climbing The Pole.

I stumbled on this photos of strippers praying backstage online this morning, and it really intrigued me. Instead of me voicing just my own opinion on these pictures, I thought it would be good to open up the floor for debate
Do you think this photo is a good or bad thing? Why? Should there be a problem with exotic dancers praying before stripping on stage for men in a club? Surely God answers all?
However, I strongly believe that God does hear the prayers of sinners, and we are all technically sinners through our thoughts, actions and deeds e.t.c.

Queen Ahneva Adegeye, African American wife of legendary juju musician, King Sunny Ade tells ‘Nonye Ben-Nwankwo how she came to Nigeria and her love for Africa

It seems you have always loved fashion?

I have always loved fashion and African fashion in particular. I was the President of Black Students Union when I was in high school. One of the mandates for my presidency was to create events that would help connect African Americans to the African heritage. It was mandatory for you to wear something African to every event. I found myself making all sorts of African wears and dresses.

But you hadn’t even visited Africa then?

No. I was just connected. I always had this drumming in my ear even when I was a little girl. I would always hear the sound ‘boom boom boom’ in my ears. It was the sound of a drum. It was an African rhythm. I would tell my parents about it. My father told me one day that my ancestors were the ones calling me back home.

So did the drumming stop when you got to Africa?

Oh yes it did. When I first got to Nigeria, I knelt down as soon as I stepped out of the aircraft, I prostrated and I kissed the ground. I was so drawn to being home and I was happy I kissed the ground. I went to the slave dungeons in Cape Coast, Ghana. I was there with the Association for Study of African Classical Civilisation. We had a symposium and part of our tour was to go to the slave dungeon. The women among us went to the prison where the females were kept. There was a door of ‘no return’ that all of our ancestors went out through when they were sold. They said anybody who went out from that door never came back home. I was supposed to go with everybody else after that session but I didn’t.

When veteran actor Adebayo Salami marked his 50 years on stage recently, his friends and colleagues took turns to tell how he impacted positively on their lives.

Among those who spoke was popular fuji musician, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, who said his dream was to become a movie star until he was advised by Oga Bello to be a musician.

He said he would forever be grateful for the advice which has helped to shape his life.

In a bid to avoid being caught up in violence that may erupt after the February 2015 general elections, politicians, many chief executive officers/ chairmen of companies, top businessmen and wealthy Nigerians have started moving their families out of Nigeria.

Over 800 persons, including 10 members of the National Youth Service Corps were reportedly killed in the North during the violence that trailed the 2011 general elections.

Investigations by Saturday PUNCHshowed that some apprehensive politicians and top members of the business community started relocating members of their families abroad late last year.

Many, it was learnt, are still moving their families out of the country.

According to findings, medical check-ups, short vacation, among others, are being cited by wealthy Nigerians as reasons for their trips.

Expel Obasanjo Now, Elder Statesman Edwin Clark Tells PDP Says Obasanjo Working For APC Candidate Gen. Muhammadu Buhari

Elder Statesman and a former Federal Commissioner for Information, Chief Edwin Clark, has called on the national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party to sack former President Olusegun Obasanjo from the party.

Clark, who spoke with journalists at his residence in Abuja on Friday, accused the former chairman of the Board of Trustees of the party of working with the opposition against President Goodluck Jonathan.

Anyone who can afford the good things of life will find living in Banana Island a foretaste of what paradise looks like. It is a statement in opulent living and lifestyle.

Little wonder this island has become the most prefered abode of the rich. Many years ago, Banana Island distinguished itself as a

no go area for the middle class, leaving the rest of Lagos such as Ikeja GRA, Victoria Island and Lekki for the average millionaires in Lagos. A first time visitor to this island is greeted by the sight of well laid lawns with beautiful flowers and well paved roads. The

quietude and untainted environment is a major attraction as well. Beautiful trees are also planted in canopy form to serve as umbrella and to supply fresh air.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Friday blows hot again, saying it is “performance” and not “party loyalty” that informed his choice of whom to support in the forthcoming general election.

Obasanjo, who is a former chairman, Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), did not hide his intention to vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Ogun state, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, in the February 28 governorship election in the state.

All Progressives Congress (APC) National Leader Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has lambasted the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for calling on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to disqualify APC presidential candidate General Muhammadu Buhari over certificate issues.

Tinubu, who spoke yesterday during the APC’s rally in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, described PDP as a “shameless” party.

He said: “I laugh when the incapable government of Nigeria, the Poverty Development Party has nothing to say; they have the temerity to question the educational qualification of General Buhari and look for his certificate. Aaaaaaa! (laughter) Shame on them… what an insult!.

EFCC Arrests Suspected Fraudsters For N806m Scam

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Wednesday, January 14, 2015 arrested three suspected internet fraudsters in Port Harcourt, Rivers State - Okpekereke Timothy, Stanley Odjighere, and Teminor Karo.

The trio are part of a syndicate arrested over allegations of conspiracy, internet scam and stealing from one of the new generation banks to the tune of N806, 208,000.00 (Eight Hundred and Six Million Two Hundred and Eight Thousand Naira). Forty others are still at large.

The Goodluck/Sambo Support Group has accused two ministers from Kano and the state Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, gubernatorial candidate of refusing to identify with President Goodluck Jonathan by shunning his posters.

“We wish to avail Mr. President and especially the Goodluck/Sambo Presidential Campaign Organization and the general public of the lackadaisical attitude of those charged with the campaign in the state as their approach lacks vigour,” the Chairman of the group, Abdulmuminu Musa, said in a state. “It is a statement of fact that nothing is being done at the moment to bolster the effort in the mobilization drive for the supporters for the re-election project with just about one month to go.”

Following recent widespread smear campaigns against the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), over his education, training and qualifications, SaharaReporters has unearthed a letter written by the United States Army War College, Pennsylvania praising Buhari’s intelligence and brilliance throughout his stint as a fellow at the prestigious military academy.

WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT: The red clusters seen in this infra-red satellite photo (top) show the Nigerian village of Doron Baga bustling with life on January 2. Another image taken just five days later (middle) shows the area devoid of life after Boko Haram raided the village - killing thousands of people and destroying their homes. Those who survived the assaults on the north-eastern towns of Baga and Doron Baga described how they escaped over the dead bodies of people who were 'killed like insects'. Amnesty International says one of the cities was virtually 'wiped off the map' in what they claim is Boko Haram's deadliest ever attack in the country.

Fresh facts have emerged regarding the reasons the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the State of Osun opted for a smaller venue to host the party’s presidential campaign team in the centre of the town, instead of the city stadium.

We gathered that aftermath of the Lagos rally, the party campaign coordinators in the South-West resorted to using smaller venues located within business centres, so as to create an impression
of large turnout at the rally.

Unlike in some PDP-dominated states like Akwa-Ibom, Enugu, where rallies were held at the stadia, the one in Ibadan was held at the Mapo Hall area, while that of Osogbo was held at the Nelson Mandela Freedom Park.

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Aminu Tambuwal

The ranks of the Peoples Democratic Party in the House of Representatives further depleted on Wednesday as eight more members defected from the majority party.

Four of the defectors joined the rival All Progressives Congress, giving indications that the leading opposition party had gained the control of the House as the majority party.

The All Progressives Grand Alliance gained two of the defectors, while the Peoples Democratic Movement and the Social Democratic Party each gained one, bringing to eight the total PDP defectors on Wednesday.

The Ambassador Yusuf Maitama Sule-led Northern Elders’ Forum, and the Arewa Consultative Forum, have endorsed the All Progressives Congress’ Presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), and his running mate, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, for the February election.

The NEF and the ACF in separate statements in Kaduna on Wednesday said that they would ask all northerners and indeed Nigerians to support Buhari because he was a better candidate than President Jonathan Goodluck, the candidate of the People Democratic Party in the February 14, presidential election.

According to a communique signed by the ACF National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Muhammad Ibrahim, the Forum noted that it was part of its policy to support northerner in any presidential election.

Married At 43, Gave Birth At 60 - Meet The Couple Who Says God Is Never Late

Paul and Tunrayo Alagbe were married on September 3, 1998 and had their first child on December 29, 2014.Rita Okonoboh chronicles the couple’s journey through the years of trials to the unfolding of boundless blessings.I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry.

WHY WE STOPPED BUYING NIGERIA’S OIL - Jeff Zients/White House Economic Director

$A report by the U.S. Senate Republican Policy Committee, issued in June 2013, shows the decline in American oil imports as production of shale oil from fracking has risen.$

OFFICIALS of the United States government have for the first time in months presented an explanation on the sudden termination of oil imports from Nigeria since July, an action which spurred concerns whether there were any possible political connotation especially because of the current strain in Nigeria-US diplomatic relations.

Answering a question on the issue from The Guardian, during the week, White House Director of the US National Economic Council, Mr. Jeff Zients, said the cessation of oil imports from Nigeria had to do with the significant rise in US oil production.

Charlie Hebdo's cartoonist broke down today as he explained his reasons for drawing the Prophet Muhammad on tomorrow's controversial front cover.

The image depicts the Prophet shedding a single tear and holding a sign which declares: 'Je Suis Charlie'.

Above the figure, who is drawn in a comic style wearing a turban, the text declares: 'Tout est pardonné (All is forgiven)'.

Weeping repeatedly during an emotional press conference, cartoonist Renald 'Luz' Luzier said the image represented 'just a little guy who's crying'.

Then he confirmed, unapologetically: 'Yes, it is Muhammad.'

He expressed his feelings to several of his aides following a late evening meeting with President Jonathan at his home in Abeokuta. Both men were in the presence of Pastor Adejare Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, and Bishop David Oyedepo of Winner’s Chapel.

To make matters worse, a few hours after meeting with Jonathan, Obasanjo met with leaders of the All People’s Congress (APC) and their presidential candidate, Muhammad Buhari, where he affirmed he will support the best candidate regardless of party affiliation.

Armed police moved in on a naked woman after she stripped and lay in front of an ambulance to stop it taking her husband's suspected lover to hospital.

Zhang Shih, 38 - from Linyi, Shandong province, eastern China - allegedly ran down neighbour Wang Lu and her four-year-old daughter in fury over over the suspected fling.

Never has the saying 'hell hath no fury like a woman scorned' been more fitting than when a jilted wife in China chopped off her cheating husband's penis... twice.

When Feng Lung, 30, discovered her husband was having an affair she cut off his manhood with a pair of scissors, then snipped it off again after surgeons reattached it.

She is now facing jail after being arrested for causing grievous bodily harm.

Two-timing dad-of-five Fan Lung, 32, had used his wife's mobile to send lover Zhang Hung, 21, a saucy email from his marital home in the city of Shangqiu in central China's Henan province.

But after forgetting to log out of his account, stunned wife Feng came across the message and several others, and flew into a rage.

Humility + Wisdom + Faith + Diligence = Success...."For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."

A friend of my tells the story of a time when his wife was out of town and he had to take care of their three small children by himself. Being a psychologist, he was usually pretty good with them and understood their needs. On this particular morning, however, their little girl was pushing him past the limit.

He was trying to get them off to school, and she was lollygagging. He nagged her a few times but she did not pick up her pace. Slowly, he began to get angry. He could hear her in her room, still playing and not getting ready at all. Her defiance was really irritating him.

He was on his way in there to let her have it when he stopped in his tracks. If this were one of my clients, what would I do? he asked himself. I would find out what is causing this behavior. He thought about it for a moment, and then he had it. She usually had this time in the morning to spend with her mother. He walked into his daughter's room, stooped down, and with his hands on her shoulders, looked her right in the eye.

When Rihanna first launched her singing career, she may have dreamed about landing the kind of fame and fortune that would allow her to buy a Picasso.

But pop star wannabe Abimbola “Bim” Fernandez, who counts Rihanna as one of her role models, already has an original canvas by the Spanish master hanging above her bed in her Manhattan pied-à-terre.

The 24-year-old beauty doesn’t need to aspire to a life of wealth and luxury. She is the daughter of Nigerian gemstone tycoon Antonio Deinde Fernandez, who Bim says is worth a staggering $8.7 billion.

Her privileged background might raise the hackles of many a cash-strapped artist struggling to break into the music industry, but Fernandez insists: “Money can’t buy a record deal.

“It can’t buy good music. You can either sing or you can’t.”

SMH Records clearly thought she fit into the former category. The Charlotte, NCbased label signed her last fall, and Fernandez’s first release, the single “Let’s Take It Naked,” debuts Tuesday at smhworldwide.net.
