The President of a Mapo Customary Court in Ibadan, Chief Ademola Odunadeon, Wednesday dissolved a three-year-old marriage between Tawakalitu Adeoye and Hakeem over threat to life and ritual making.

Tawakalitu, a fashion designer who resides at Academy area of Ibadan, told the court that her husband had stylishly embarked on a marathon sexual intercourse with her with the intention of using her for ritual.

“My lord, if I had listened to my parents’ advice that I should not enter into any marital vows with Hakeem, maybe life would have been pleasant with me today.

“It all began when Hakeem started requesting for sexual intercourse from me every morning and night without any particular reason, an act which he was initially not used to.

“Firstly, he takes his bath and then rush me to bed, sleeping with me.

“Each time he finished with me, I felt weak, subdued, restless and completely shattered physically and psychologically.

“Until I made the discovery, Hakeem had planted a charm (Tira) under my pillow for two good weeks without my knowledge and I had laid my head on it.

“Then, I reported him at Eleyele Police Headquarter in Ibadan, but he pleaded with the police to prevail on me not to implicate him.

“He also told my relatives that I lied against him and that I must retract the statement of which I accused him of trying to use me for ritual.

“Worst still, Hakeem derives pleasure in turning me into a punching bag at any slightest opportunity.

“These and many more are the reasons why I had to pack away from his home since Oct. 27.

“Please save my life from Hakeem because he is spiritually diabolic”.

In his counter argument, however, the respondent refuted all the allegations leveled against him while consenting to the divorce suit.

Hakeem who earned his living as an Alfa submitted that his wife merely cooked up what she said so as to get sympathy of the court

“I will like this court to take note of the fact that Tawakalitu is so adulterous and I have caught her several times in the act.

“In fact, she and her secret lovers usually chat in my presence every night.

“My mother had also advised me not to marry her from the onset because of her bad attitude.

“There is nothing I have not done to satisfy Tawakalitu,” NAN quoted him as saying.

However, ruling, Odunade held that the court does not joke with any issue that had to do with life, hence the need for the dissolution.

“It is also obvious that there is no more love between Tawakalitu and Hakeem as a result of their differences.

“In the interest of peaceful living, the union between the duo has ceased to be.

The cosmetics and beauty industry might be cashing in big on products that leave women feeling and looking good, but one of the not so glamorous aspects of it all is the impact it has on 1000s of women around the world.

Several products are launched day and night, all trying to outdo each other to give women that perfect look when stepping out. With social media giving people the opportunity to show the world what they are up to, many women feel pressured to constantly look good or better than other women in the room. Consequently, many resort to different procedures, including plastic surgeries.

Earlier in 2018, Steve Harvey interviewed popular surgeons  Paul Nassif and Dr Dubrow from the Botched.  They shared harrowing details about the dangers and effects of butt augmentations. According to Dr Dubrow, the procedure is one of the most dangerous in the world that could cause death if not done well.

Despite these revealing details, the procedure is still prevalent in a few African countries and could increase to more in a few years.

South Africa is one of the worlds preferred destinations for plastic surgeries and augmentations and according to jetsettimes.com, the country is the 9th most prefered country for plastic surgery procedures. In October 2018, businessinsider.co.za posted an article about the alarming increase of women’s interest in butt augmentation which costs between
R75,000 and R100,000.

Congo

In Congo, a woman with a huge butt is seen as more attractive and beautiful and this perception has led many women in the country feel the need to fit into the standard expectation of beauty. The more disturbing factor when it comes to Congo is that women are not able to afford proper butt augmentation and have resorted to using chicken stock injections as an alternative. The procedure which seems to work for many is twice more dangerous than the proper procedure has been said to be.

 

Nigeria

Nigeria is no stranger to plastic surgery and butt augmentation is no different. Many celebrities including the very confident actress, Tonto Dike, have come out to talk about her cosmetic surgeries after suffering from depression due to her post-partum body.

 

More recently, socialite Toke Makinwa has been accused of having a butt augmentation procedure after going under the radar for a few weeks and suddenly coming back on the scene with a larger behind. For the many who cannot afford the procedure, using butt enlargement creams and taking in pills have become very popular alternative putting lives at a higher risk with products that have not been recommended by health authorities. 

Ghana 

Just like Nigeria, pills and creams that help give a rounder and fuller butt are fast selling in Ghana. With the constant need for a perfect butt, many Ghanaian women are resorting to have a one-time butt augmentation rather than continue taking pills and using creams that take a longer time to have an effect on the user. According to Dr Kwasi Debra, a Ghanaian cosmetic surgeon, he performs close to 10 butt augmentation in the country for women from all works of life and is the most popular cosmetic procedure in the country.

The Lagos State Police Command has arrested four persons operating an illegal fake drug production factory in Lagos.

The Force Public Relations Officer, Ag. DCP Jimoh Moshood, told newsmen on Friday that the suspects operated the factory from a four-bedroom building located at No. 2 Okunnenye Street, Ikotun Egbe area of the state.

Parading the suspects at the factory premises, Moshood said the IRT operatives raided the secret factory on Thursday, following a tip off.

“Recovered from the scene were cartons of different fake drugs, large quantities of unprocessed chemical substances used in manufacturing drugs, several machines fabricated for processing, manufacturing and packaging of the fake drugs.

“Also recovered are forged pharmaceutical papers, plastic buckets of different types suspected to be fake.
The premises have also been sealed and remain sealed till the determination of the matter by a court.

“The IGP has advised members of the public to be weary of where they procure food, drugs and drinks as many of them are fake and may cause outright death or physical and mental disability,” NAN quoted him as saying.

The principal suspect later told journalists that he owned the factory, stressing that he learnt the trade from a friend who died four years ago.

“Although, I am not a pharmacist or a chemist, but the medications are not totally fake as I use quality chemicals to produce them.

“My market is at Onitsha Anambra State, I don’t supply in Lagos. I distribute only in Onitsha and they in turn know where they distribute to. I have not really made too much money but at least, I have made little money.

“I am the owner of the place. I do take the drug and give to my wife and children because it is not totally fake to treat malaria. I try to be genuine.

“Instead of 250mg, I make it 180mg. That is the only offence I have committed but really the medicine works,” the suspect said.

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has commended the wife of President Buhai, Aisha for her statement that revealed two powerful people controlling the affairs of Buhari government.

DAILY POST earlier reported that Aisha on Tuesday said two powerful people were frustrating her husband’s effort in running the affairs of the country.

She, however, failed to mention the names of the powerful persons.

Appreciating Aisha, Kanu hoped that the president’s wife could be the next president of Nigeria.

The Biafran leader also disclosed that Abba Kyari and Mamman Daura are the two men frustrating Buhari government and responsible for bringing Jubril of Sudan to Aso Rock.

“Common sense is not common in the zoo called Nigeria, why are people not outraged that two men are holding people hostage?

“I have renewed respect for Aisha Buhari over her latest statement at a conference organized by Project 4+4 in Abuja on Tuesday and also women like Patience Jonathan, Dora Akunyili and Okonjo Iweala.

“These women sometimes make me think Nigeria would have been a better place if a woman was the president.

“It will be better for Nigerians to vote Aisha Buhari to be the President, she is very bold, truthful, frank and upright same as Patience Jonathan.

“Considering what Aisha Buhari said, ask yourself, will she speak that way if her husband was still alive and not dead.

“Aisha Buhari is basically asking Nigerians to rise up in a revolution because those people are now in charge. The question to ask her is ‘where is your husband?

“Her statement is unbelivable, where are the men meant to stand up against these two people.

“Also at the event was the wife of ‘cowardly’ vice president, Yemi Osinbajo who should be swept away. Osinbajo is a spineless coward, not a human being.

“If Aisha had an opportunity, she would be harsher than I am, you see why I say Nigerian men are cowards, see what a woman is saying.

“Look at Aisha Buhari telling elites to get up and do something about the government. Since men cannot do anything Aisha urged women to fight.

“Aisha Buhari named two men in control of Nigeria, those men are Abba kyari and Mamman Daura. Those two people are ruling 180m Nigerians and responsible for bringing Jubril from Sudan to Nigeria.

“These two men went to Sudan to replace Buhari because they wanted to retain power.

“Aisha is telling you in coded language that her husband is no longer in Aso Rock, Nigerians should wake up. Recall her speech in 2016 where she said her man , it was at that stage that the idea of getting a replacement for Buhari arose.

“I grade this woman highly for not shying away from issues in the country, I like Aisha because she is amazing and courageous. You must all respect her than your Daddy G.O and clerics who just care about money, seeds and offerings.

“From Abba Kyari to Sultan of Sokoto, God will punish you all for your evil acts.”

“As a rule now in my house, we pour anointing oil and sprinkle holy water on our pants before wearing them because of Yahoo Boys”. With these words, Alero, a female resident of Ubeji area of Warri, told Sunday Vanguard her family’s strategy to escape ritualists on the prowl in Delta State. It was gathered that undies, particularly of girls between the ages of 16 to 32, are hot cakes for use by ritualists. One pant, according to some residents, sells for as high as two hundred and fifty thousand naira. The price can be higher when the ‘boys’ confirm “ through science that the girl has not done any abortion”, Esther, another resident in the area, said. The pants are allegedly used for money ritual. “After they finish with the pants, their owners will lose their wombs which is the real ritual”, Esther added.

Alero, who lives with her parents, said she has three adult sisters. The anointing oil and holy water, according to her, had the capacity to neutralize any evil plan of Yahoo Boys on their pants. For Tamera, a charming lady in her late 20ts on Jakpa Road, she and her mother no longer hang their underwears on the rope outside the flat in the compound where they live. “Because of Yahoo Boys, we no longer hang our underwears on ropes outside the flat in our compound”, she said . “We live with five other tenants in our compound .

There are boys in the compound too. Since we heard the news, we have been hanging our pants in the bathroom; whether they get dry or not is no longer the issue. We sometimes use hot iron on them to get properly dry”. When asked if they also handled their braziers in like manner, her response was spontaneous, “Yes o. No difference between pants and braziers. We hide them very well now. Ladies pants na mega bucks for Warri”.

I sit outside until my pants dry on the rope – Lola

A female banker with one of the first generation banks, who simply identified herself as Lola, lives in a one-bedroom flat around Estate area of Warri. She said she washes mostly on Saturdays and sit by the rope until her pants get dried. “I just bring out a chair, sit outside until my undies dry and I take them in. No room for gambling. The story is everywhere that people have been recruited to go for ladies’ pants for attractive prices. Dem no go see my own “, she said. Lola, in her early thirties, said since the news hit Warri that Yahoo Boys were after ladies pants, she has been very careful with personal effects.

Many girls now go to their boyfriends houses with no undies on – Rosemary

Rosemary , a student in Oghara, Ethiope West local government area, said many girls now visit their boyfriends without undies. “Oga journalist, you no know who be who. Even these our boyfriends, their eyes no clear. We are just gambling if it will lead to marriage. In the past when you visited your boy friend, if you were spending a night or two in his house, you took some underwears in your bag. But it is no longer so. You just go like that, not even with one. Just like that. You get what I mean , Oga journalist. No be my head dem go take break coconut”, she said.

We avoid lonely routes at night – Esther

Esther, in her late twenties, said she heard some girls had been asked on the street at gunpoint to pull their pants or be shot. “It is so bad. We heard some people now go round in flashy cars looking for girls on lonely roads to order at gun point to pull their pants or be shot. You will just see a vehicle pull in front of you and guys will jump out. All they do is order you to pull your pants”, she said “So, in my house, we the girls don’t go on errands at night. From 6pm you don’t see us on the street. We also try to avoid lonely roads during the day”.

The fear of Yahoo Boyz has become the beginning of wisdom  in Delta State. In the last three months no fewer than eight girls have been allegedly murdered for money ritual by Yahoo Boys.

The story of Elozino Ogege is one of them

There is also an unconfirmed incident at a shopping centre in Warri where a Yahoo Boy allegedly offered a girl fifty thousand naira to just caress her. It was a good deal , the girl thought , after all he was not going to have sex. So they reportedly hopped into the guy’s car. After the guy finished, transfer of cash allegedly done to her account, she went to the convenience to freshen up. “It was at the toilet she bled to death. Her friend who was with her that night was the one that raised the alarm, narrated all that happened to everyone”,  a lady who did not want her name in print said. Despite the seeming extra care on the part of many girls not to fall victim of Yahoo ritualists, some of the Yahoo Boys, Street Boys, Everywhere Stew Guys, as they are called in Warri, oftentimes boast, according to residents, “Baba God will always provide data for subscription”. Data here means whatever they need for ritual while subscription means renewal of ritual to sustain cash flow. Related

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says Mansur Dan-Ali, minister of defence, is expending funds meant for the military on the campaign of President Muhammadu Buhari.

In a statement on Monday, Kola Ologbodiyan, PDP spokesman, said funds meant for military equipment and welfare of soldiers are channeled to the production of “partisan materials for All Progressives Congress (APC) re-election campaign.”

Ologbondiyan said by allegedly using these funds for such purpose, the ruling party had turned the defence ministry to its automated teller machine (ATM).

“Placing of APC logo alongside that of the ministry of defence on the momento confirms our position that the Buhari Presidency has compromised our defence architecture for Mr. President’s re-election project,” he said.

“Our party considers it insensitive and a gross impunity for the minister of defence to be engaging in patronising soverniers for President Buhari at a time when our soldiers are being killed in their numbers.

“It is also instructive to note that President Muhammadu Buhari, as Mr. Integrity, has not reprimanded the minister, ostensibly, given that the diversion of public funds for his re-election campaign is now a policy of the APC and the Buhari presidency.

“Nigerians can now see how the Buhari Presidency and the APC have turned the Ministry of Defence into their Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) to fund their re-election, at the detriment of our citizens who are being daily attacked by insurgents and marauders in various parts of our country.”

Ologbondiyan called for an investigation into the military’s funds in a bid to “unravel those benefitting from the racket”.

Efforts made to reach Tukur Gusau, spokesman of the defence minister, were not successful as his telephone line was out of reach.

Sylvester Debe Ojukwu, the first son of late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwuis reportedly dead.He was said to have died on Friday, November 2 after a brief stay at the hospital. Debe Ojukwu was 62 years old.

He had been engaged in a face-off with his father’s last wife, Bianca Ojukwu, over properties left by the late Ikemba Nnewi.

His father, Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu was a Nigerian military officer and politician who served as the military governor of the Eastern Region of Nigeria in 1966 and the leader of the breakaway Republic of Biafra from 1967 to 1970. He was active as a politician from 1983 to 2011, when he died aged 78.
