It concerns you.

A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his
wife open a mousetrap package. Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse
announced, "There is a mousetrap in the house!There is a mousetrap in
the house!..." The chicken, the pig and the cow expressed their
sympathies for the mouse but said it doesn't concern them personally.

That night, the trap caught the tail of a venomous snake. The farmer's
wife went to check the trap in the darkness and got bitten. She was
rushed to the hospital and returned with a fever. The chicken was
killed to make soup for the woman's fever. When her sickness continued
and more people came to sit with her round the clock, the pig was
butchered to feed them. When she eventually died, the cow was killed
for her funeral.

The mouse survived while the It-doesn't-concern-me animals did not.
===========================
When next you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn't
concern you, remember that an injury to one is an injury to all. We
must be our brother's keeper and make an extra effort to encourage one
another.

How can someone carry 2 plots of land on her head without having headache?

The girl in this cartoon is wearing a 300 k Brazilian hair. The amount

3 policewomen stripped naked during arrest in Edo

Three female police officers who went to make an arrest at Oregbeni
quarters in Ikpoba-Okha local government area of Edo State were on
Wednesday beaten and stripped naked.



The police officers are currently receiving treatment at an
undisclosed hospital.



They were invited by a landlady in the area to arrest one of her
tenants when a fracas ensued.
The Nation gathered that trouble started when the tenant insisted on
taking her bath before going to the police station but the police
officers said she should follow them immediately.



A fracas ensued and other residents in the area joined the tenant to
beat and strip the police officers.
The landlady ,who gave her name as Mrs. Okebuse, said she invited the
police because she had given the tenants quit notice.
She said, "When the police came to make arrest, they started fighting
the police. I ran for my life and hid in the other compound."



An eyewitness said the landlady uses police to harass her tenants.
"The woman was taking her bath and the police officers refused to
allow the woman to take her bath," the eyewitness said.



The state's Police Commissioner, Foluso Adebanjo, who expressed
disappointment at the attack, said the police would not take the
attack likely.
Adebanjo said the attackers would be made to face the full wrath of the law.
He said suspects arrested have already been charged to court.

"Àbíkẹ́ onípàrágà" by I. O. Abiodun

Ladele marries Aduke and finds her to be a virgin. Aduke bears a set
of twins a year later. During the naming ceremony, Bosede (Ladele's
co-tenant and boss' wife) dances with Ladele intimately and Aduke
drags him away. Bosede is angry and tells her husband, Ajayi, that
Aduke mocked her on her childlessness and him on his short stature.
Ajayi has Ladele transferred from Ibadan to Ilorin. Bose advises Aduke
to stay behind because of her business.

Soon, Ladele starts dating Abike in Ilorin and doesn't visit Aduke
often. Abike gives Ladele a love potion to prevent him from "seeing"
(visiting or sleeping with) any other woman. From then on, Ladele
stops visiting Aduke.

After 6 months of not seeing Ladele, Aduke sends her sister ,Asake, to
check. Asake finds Ladele dancing with Abike during the naming
ceremony of their child. Asake tells her sister everything.

Aduke moves to Ilorin and lives with Abike and Ladele. Ladele stops
sleeping with her and cleaves to Abike alone. Aduke pretends to be
nice to Abike but eventually drowns Abike's baby in a bucket of water.
She also hides Kehinde (her child) and claims Abike kidnapped him.
Later on, Ladele rents a house and moves in with Abike, leaving Aduke
behind. He goes to Aduke's house every morning to give her money but
she wants sex.

One day, Aduke seeks out Abike and encourages school-children to call
her a husband-snatcher. Abike has another child, Aderopo (meaning
"Replacement"). Aduke renders Ladele impotent to prevent Abike from
having another child. Ladele is also sacked for lateness after Aduke
delayed him with a morning quarrel.

40 years later, Aderopo builds a house for his mother, Abike. At the
house-warming ceremony, Aduke boasts that Abike is not the only one
with a successful child and that her twins are coming from overseas
for the event. Just then, the news is brought that the twins had died
in an accident.

"ÀṢÍRÍ AMÒÒKÙNJALÈ TÚ!" LATI ỌWỌ́ KỌ́LÁ AKÍNLÀDÉ

Akangbe Orimoogunje, with the help of his first wife Adunni, became a
rich cocoa merchant at Ife. When wealth came, Adunni died and Akangbe
married Yewande,Asake and Folasade.

Akangbe became very ill and Osanyinbi was his personal doctor. When
Akangbe died ,only N140 was found in his safe. ₦60 000 had
disappeared! Duro (Akangbe's first child) was in his final year in
secondary school. Who is the thief?

Osanyinbi had a reputation for stealing goats and had landed in the
police station. Yewande is the only person Akangbe had ever given the
key to his safe to bring him money from the safe. Asake had once tried
to open the safe with a wrong key. Folasade, the youngest wife, was
living in her hometown,Gbongan. Who is the secret thief?

Duro wrote a letter to Akin Olusina (Ọlọ́fìn-ín-tótó) to resolve the
issue. Túndé Atọpinpin was also with Akin. Akin took Ilésanmí
(Adùnní's younger brother) along with him to Àkàngbé's house. It was
clear that the thief who stole Akangbe's money didn't break into the
safe but opened it with a key. Akin and Ilesanmi searched Asake's and
Yewande's rooms.

A woman gave Akin her card when they met at a market in Ife. The card
read: "Miss Felicia Olówólàgbà, N69/0078025, Ibadan". Felicia's
uncle, Ògúndélé, duplicates keys for a living. One day, he fights with
a customer, Jìnádù, for owing him N40. (Jìnádù had paid N20 instead of
N40.) Akin and a policeman, Pópó, settled the fight.

Akin, Tunde and Popo went to Ife. They saw Sade's picture at Akangbe's
house but didn't see her. They returned to Ibadan and learnt that
Ogundele had helped Felicia to duplicate the same key twice. After
much investigation, Akin and Tunde went to Felicia and she confessed.

Felicia said,"I stole the money so that I won't end up with nothing in
Orimoogunje's house. I had no child for him. If he dies, his property
will go to his children. I took Akangbe's key from under his pillow
and gave it to Ogundele to duplicate. I returned the original key to
his pillow and kept the duplicate. I duplicated another key and put
it secretly in Asake's pocket. She used this key to try the safe. I
paid the money into a bank in Ibadan as Felicia Olowolagba. There
wasn't Folasade Orimoogunje in the bank's records".

Akin promised not to leak Felicia (Folasade) 's secret if she returned
the money so that Orimoogunje's children can complete their schooling.
Felicia secretly returned the money into the safe. Alao, Akangbe's
brother, wrote a thank-you letter to Akin Olofintoto.

Sex is an invitation card.

Sex is an invitation card to children. Imagine that you are enjoying
life in your house when somebody invites you to an occasion. She
keeps reminding you of the date whenever you meet and even via the
Internet. On the D-day, you go to the venue only to be clubbed to
death by your host! How will you feel?

Even if you were raped, why not give birth and give the child up for
adoption instead of killing the innocent child while the rapists go
scotfree?

It is a woman's duty to close her legs or use protection when
she isn't ready for motherhood or has had enough children. She is the
only one who will risk her life and fertility in an abortion if she
allows herself to be sweet-talked into sex before she is ready.

Before sleeping with a man (even if he is your own husband), ask
yourself: Will I be able to rear this child alone if this man deserts
me or asks me to abort? If your answer is No, zip up or use
protection.

Experiment to determine whether a blocked person can still see your posts shared by mutual friends

AIM: To determine whether those you block can see your posts shared
by mutual friends.

*This experiment is to be carried out with a Facebook friend.

STEPS TO FOLLOW:1. Use your Facebook account to block one of your
friend's other Facebook friends. (Make sure the blocked friend is not
your friend too, or you'll have to send another friend request and
explain your pranks to a bewildered friend).

2. Tell your friend to share one of the friend's posts and photos
from his account.

3. Check whether you can see the shared post and photo from your account.

4. Unblock the person.

even if you check your friend's timeline from your account. But your
friend will see the "A shared B's post" on his timeline from his
account.

CONCLUSION: He/she can't see your posts as well. Blocking someone
also blocks you from seeing his/her timeline, though you can unblock
at will.

A good-for-nothing garden

Contrary to its family's warning, a small mouse squeezed itself
through a small hole to enter a beautiful garden. The garden had no
other entrance or exit.

Greedily consuming sweet food, it gradually got too big to get out
of the garden. So it had to starve itself to get out. It later called
the garden a "good-for-nothing garden".

Like the garden in this story, we have brought nothing into this world
and we will bring nothing out of it (1 Timothy 6:6-8).

"Òkèlè Àkọ́bù" by Kẹ́hìndé Adépégba

"Òkèlè Àkọ́bù" is a novel about the consequences of taking a blood
oath between lovers. Even the faithful partner suffers if the
relationship breaks up.

At 18 and 22 respectively and as secondary school students, Omolade
and Olaoye swear to marry each other in future and never to have
other lovers.Olaoye passes his SSCE and gets admitted into OAU;
Omolade fails hers thrice and settles for tailoring. She gets pregnant
and has a son Bidemi for Olaoye. At the university, Olaoye dates
Bolanle, a fellow undergraduate. Omolade catches them together at one
of her visits. Olaoye graduates, goes to the US for further studies
(after leaving a nasty letter for Omolade) and marries Bolanle. But
Bolanle soon dies after he has spent all his money on her illness. He
leaves Los Angeles for New Jersey and marries Dupe, a journalist. Dupe
gets involved in drug dealing and they both go to jail. He serves part
of his jail term in the US and the rest in Nigeria.

Omolade is left alone to care for Bidemi, whom Olaoye has disowned.
She marries Arígbábuwó but he divorces her when his shop is gutted by
fire. She then becomes Ọ̀tún's third wife. When Otun dies, the other
wives and his entire family chase Omolade away for bringing bad luck.
Bidemi dies in the process.

The families of Olaoye and Omolade seek out pastors, imams and
traditional healers who all point to the unfulfilled blood oath as the
cause of their problems. The lovers marry and their problem ends.

"Oliver Twist" by Charles Dickens

Oliver is born in a workhouse ( a house for poor people). His mother
is found on the streets and brought to the workhouse, where he is
born. The young woman dies immediately after childbirth.

Oliver's guardian, Mrs Mann, doesn't feed him well. Soon ,he is
returned to the workhouse where he faces both hard work and poor
feeding. One day, Oliver asks for more food and is punished. Then he
is sold to Mr Sowerberry.

Mr Sowerberry is friendly to Oliver but Mrs Sowerberry, Noah Claypole
and Charlotte are hostile. Oliver flees to London, where he meets Jack
Dawkins, a boy of his age. Jack offers him food and shelter but
introduces him to a gang of 8 criminals ( Fagins, Toby Crackit, Monks,
Charley Bates, Jack Dawkins, Bill Sikes, Nancy and Bet ). Oliver is
soon sent to "work" with Jack and Charley.

On Oliver's first day with them, Jack and Charley rob one Mr Brownlow
and flee. Oliver is arrested but later released when an eyewitness
explains that he has stolen nothing. Mr Brownlow takes him in and
cares for him. He is however captured by the gang while on an errand.

During a robbery operation, Oliver (being young and tiny) is put
through the window of a house so he can open the door once inside. He
is shot by the occupants of the house and the others flee. The
occupants (Rose Maylie, her aunt and their servants) take great care
of him.

Oliver sees Fagins and Monks staring at him through the window of his
room one day. Then Monks contacts an old woman from the workhouse and
has Oliver's legacy thrown away. Nancy goes to Rose secretly and tells
her about the plan to recapture Oliver. Rose tells Mr Brownlow about
the matter. (Interestingly, Mr Brownlow is Monks' father's friend.
Monks' parents have separated before his father impregnates Agnes, who
gives birth to Oliver in a workhouse.)

Nancy goes to see Mr Brownlow secretly one day, unaware that Charley
is trailing her. So she is murdered. Monks is persuaded to help his
half-brother Oliver. Sikes and Fagins are executed, and Oliver's
legacy is restored. Charley begins to live an honest life, while
Monks' carefree life leads to his death in prison. Oliver lives a
happy life, surrounded by the Maylies and Mr Brownlow.

Emails Vs Letters

In the olden days, letters were written on paper and sent by the
postal system or by an intermediary. A letter from Nigeria to the US
can take weeks to reach its destination and the reply would also take
weeks to get back to the sender in Nigeria. Some letters get lost and
don't reach their destinations. Also, the letter can be tampered with
by the intermediary, leaked to the wrong people or re-packed with a
letter bomb (like the Dele Giwa case in Nigeria). A secret love affair
can be exposed through a leaked love letter or card. When lovers break
up and marry other people, they often have to burn up a pile of
letters and photographs from their exes to re-assure their current
partners of their fidelity. Sending big parcels by post costs a lot of
money. Telephone conversations are faster but cannot be documented
like letters. Up till now, call logs only show that Number A was used
to call Number B today, without recording their conversation,voices or
faces. Text messages are documented but are automatically deleted to
make way for new messages and are not printable. Facebook messages are
printable but auto-deleted to make way for new messages.

Emails are the perfect solution to these problems. They are delivered
within minutes regardless of distance, can be as lengthy as letters,
are documented like letters, and cannot leak unless either the
sender's or the recipient's email account is hacked. Above all, nobody
can lace an email with a letter bomb. Whole books (e.g. E-books, and
Microsoft Word documents) can be uploaded and sent as attachments in
an email at no extra cost. Love emails and photos from exes remain
hidden away in the email box and don't have to be deleted. You don't
have to delete a photo of your child by another man/woman from your
email box to please your current partner.

Cameroonian "3rd Lady" kidnapped by Boko Haram

The wife of Cameroon's vice-prime minister was kidnapped and at least
three people were killed in an attack by Boko Haram militants in the
northern town of Kolofata on Sunday, Cameroon officials said.

A local religious leader, or lamido, named Seini Boukar Lamine, who is
also the town's mayor, was kidnapped in a separate attack on his home.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility.

Boko Haram, the Nigerian Islamist militant group, has stepped up
cross-border incursions into Cameroon in recent weeks as the country
has deployed troops to the region, joining international efforts to
combat the militants.

"I can confirm that the home of vice-prime minister Amadou Ali in
Kolofata came under a savage attack from Boko Haram militants," Issa
Tchiroma told Reuters by telephone.

"They unfortunately took away his wife. They also attacked the
lamido's residence and he was also kidnapped," he said, and at least
three people were killed in the attack.

A Cameroon military commander in the region told Reuters the VPM, who
was at home to celebrate the Muslim feast of Ramadan with his family,
was taken to a neighbouring town by security officials.

"The situation is very critical here now, and as I am talking to you
the Boko Haram elements are still in Kolofata town in a clash with our
soldiers," said Col Felix Nji Formekong, the second commander of
Cameroon's third inter-army military region, based in the regional
headquarters Maroua.

The Sunday attack is the third by Boko Haram in Cameroon since Friday.
At least four soldiers were killed in previous attacks. About 22
suspected Boko Haram militants, who have been held in Maroua since
March, were on Friday given prison sentences ranging from 10 to 20
years. It is unclear whether the events are related.
Boko Haram have killed hundreds of people this year, mostly in
north-eastern Nigeria, although they have bombed places across the
country. A bomb attack on a Catholic church in northern Nigeria's main
city of Kano killed five people and wounded eight on Sunday, a senior
police officer said. Churches have been a favourite target for the
militants.
The attacker threw the bomb at worshippers on their way out of the
church, police commissioner Adenrele Shinaba told Reuters. Police
cordoned off the scene.
In a separate incident, a female suicide bomber tried to attack police
officers on the streets. She killed herself but only wounded two of
them, Shinaba said.

"Countdown to Perdition" by Muda Atoyebi

Ajani Bankole, the crown prince of Iyeru Village, married Rolake
monogamously in church. They had true love for each other but they
had no child after 5 years of marriage. They were declared medically
fit everywhere they went. Ajani's people started pressing him to have
a second wife. Rolake too told him to but he disagreed, asking : "What
if the woman elects to give you no peace?" She replied," Why will she
do that? We will be like sisters, sharing equally without remorse. She
won't have cause to be angry". Ajani remarked: "What a simplistic
idea! If the world is as simple as you've stated, there won't be
envy,social upheavals and civil strifes".

Later on, an oracle said: "Rolake shall not have a child unless Ajani
marries another woman. But if he does,she shall get pregnant exactly 3
months after the new wife takes in". Ajani had no choice and he
married Awero under Native Law and Custom and brought her home. Awero
is black in complexion while Rolake has fair skin. The women
complemented each other.

The oracle's words were fulfilled. Awero bore a baby girl, Modupe,
while Rolake had a baby boy three months later. He was named Foluso
Adewole Bankole. Awero hated Rolake for having the first son, who will
inherit the throne after Ajani. Awero later had 2 sons ( Kola and
Soji) in quick succession. When Rolake got pregnant again, Awero went
to a witch-doctor who gave her a salt-like powder. It works and
vanishes and no doctor can detect it in a dead person.

The family ate supper and went to bed but Rolake never woke up again.
Neighbours observed that she was hale and hearty the previous day.
During her burial, Awero tried to jump into the grave 3 times and was
restrained. Foluso became an orphan at 3 years of age and the clan
decided to leave him in the custody of Ìyá, Ajani's aunt.

Àjàní lost interest in his home after Rolake's death and began
travelling often. Awero noticed this and felt unloved. Five years
later, she convinced Ajani to bring Foluso back home. "A father's
house shouldn't scare a child",she said. However, Iya warned him,
"That is a foolish move. You're merely going to expose the child to
the dangers that sent the mother prematurely to the grave".

Awero maltreated Foluso whenever Ajani travelled but he still
performed better in school than her three children. Being a full-time
housewife, Awero had all the time in the world to think bitter
thoughts and do evil.

One day, she went to the juju man who gave her the poison that killed
Rolake. She met Chief Lajide, a rich man, on the way. Chief Lajide
regularly used his gateman to procure youngsters who will be fed to a
mysterious python in his house. Awero got home, cooked rice and meat
for Foluso as his lunch and mixed the killer powder with it. She then
took Kola and Soji out for a picnic so that they won't mistakenly eat
the food. (She had sent Dupe to live with Iya in Iyeru months ago).
However, Dupe ran away from Iya, snatched the food from Foluso, ate as
much as she could, and threw the rest into the dustbin. She went to
her room to sleep and never woke up again.

Next, Awero sent Foluso to tell Chief Lajide," Mummy sent me to see
you about the arrangement". Chief Lajide was then to lure him to the
python's room. However, Foluso helped an old woman to carry her load
home and got there late. Awero got impatient and sent Kola there to
check, with the same words she used to send Foluso! Kola got there
before Foluso and was fed to the python. Foluso was sent back to tell
Awero that the deed had been done. Awero reported Kola missing.

Finally, Awero hired Pedro,a professional killer Lajide had told her
about. Pedro is protected by politicians and businessmen who use him
as a thug or a killer. "He is on the right bed in the left bedroon. My
son sleeps on the left bed. I will leave the front door open". Pedro's
foam rubber sandals made no sound as he entered the house and Awero
did not know he had come until the next day. However, just before
Pedro's arrival, Foluso went to the toilet and Soji sleepwalked to
his bed and slept off. After trying in vain to wake him up, Foluso
settled for Soji's bed. Pedro strangled the boy on the right bed,
Soji.

Now that her children were all dead, Awero ran mad and confessed her
atrocities: "You loved Rolake so I killed her. You love Foluso
too,more than you did my children because he was your first son, so I
planned to kill him, and I'll kill him yet". Ajani took Foluso's hand
and they fled from the house. Awero combed the house with a dagger in
her hands and eventually went naked into the streets.

Be safety conscious: call before you act on a text message

A lady's handbag (which
contained
her cell phone, credit card,
wallet etc) was stolen.20
minutes later, when she called
her husband from a pay
phone
telling him what had
happened,
the husband said , "I received your
text asking about our PIN
and I have replied a
little while ago".


When they rushed down to
their
bank, the bank staff told them
that money had been
withdrawn.The smart thief had actually
used the stolen cell phone to
text the husband in the contact
list and got hold of the PIN
number within the 20 minutes and
had withdrawn all the money
from their bank account.


NOTE:
There is nothing really wrong
in
disclosing the relationships
between
you and the people in your contact
list. I am not advocating for/against the use of names like
home, honey, hubby,

What's important here is, when
sensitive information is being
asked through text, confirm
by calling back. Let's be wise
and
sensitive.
Also, when you are being sent
text by friends or family to
meet them somewhere, be
sure
to call back to confirm that the

Woman gives birth after 14 years pregnancy!

Saturday June 7, 2014, will remain the happiest day in the life of
Mercy James. That was the day she miraculously gave birth to a baby
girl after 14 years of being pregnant.

Mercy, a single parent, said of her ordeal during the 14 years she was
pregnant but could not give birth: "When I first took in, I knew that
I was pregnant with signs and test that confirmed that I was. Four
months later, I went to hospital for another test, the result showed
that I wasn't pregnant, but had fibroid.
Subsequently, I began to experience bleeding, at least once a day.
Sometimes, my tummy would protrude in the semblance of pregnancy. I
went to different hospitals, and I kept on receiving the same result
that nothing was wrong with me. But deep down inside , I knew that all
was not well with me."

"So I was taken aback when a midwife told me I was pregnant. But
considering the test which showed I had fibroid, I was angry with the
midwife for giving me what I felt was a false prophecy of hope.
Thereafter, I started going from one church to another and from one
native doctor to the other. The results that I got from them all
remained the same. I became more feeble and confused that I prayed for
death to come. I went again to the midwife two years after and
complained to her about the pains that I was going through. She told
me again that it was not fibroid but pregnancy. She advised me to be
more prayerful so that God will deliver me from the hands of the
devil. I kept on praying and at the same time asking myself that," If
truly I'm pregnant, why is it that the baby was not kicking?".
I bought many concoctions that they said could cure fibroid and drank
them. I even drank 12 bottles of a local cleanser but to no avail.
This went on for years. Then God took pity on me and decided to wipe
my tears.

On the day I gave birth to my baby girl, I initially thought that
worms were trying to come out of my body not knowing that it was a
baby. This was what I told the midwife when we came to her. But after
examining me she told me to push.
I ignored her. I became unconscious for about 15 minutes and when I
regained consciousness, I heard the cry of a baby. I was surprised and
confused seeing my baby. I couldn't believe my eyes. Hmm,I thank God
for my life and that of my baby Miracle. I named her Miracle because
she is truly a miraculous child".

Who really owns a man : his mother or his wife?

MOTHER : My son must obey me
unless he didn't suck my breasts for 1 yr.

WIFE : He sucks mine now
and sucked it for more than 5 yrs and is still sucking.

MOTHER : I
carried him for nine months.

WIFE: He was only 3.5 kg then, so
what's the big deal? I carry him every night and he is 85 kg now.

MOTHER : He passed between my legs with pains.

WIFE : Hahaha, he only passed there once. He stays between my legs like

HOW TO REACTIVATE A YAHOO MAIL ACCOUNT YOU DEACTIVATED YOURSELF

On May 13,2014, I deactivated my Yahoo Mail account from a cyber cafe
because I couldn't sign in from my mobile phone. I was always told to
sign in from a computer and I don't have a PC or laptop. I removed the
account from my Facebook-connected email addresses and made one of my
Gmail accounts my new primary email. New Facebook notifications ended
up in my new primary email account.

When I deactivated the account,I was told the account would be deleted
by Yahoo in 90 days. It looked so long then. I later had second
thoughts on learning about mail forwarding. Why didn't I just adjust
the Yahoo account's settings so that all the emails will be forwarded
to my Gmail account for me to read on my phone? How do I reactivate
my mail now?


I tried various methods (e.g.trying to sign in with my username and
FORGOTTEN PASSWORD) . I tried to sign up with the same username but
was told the username had been taken (i.e.by me). That reassured me
that all is not lost.


On June 17,2014 (more than a month into the deactivation), I signed
in from a cafe ,using my usual username and password. Usually, I would
get INVALID ID/PASSWORD on doing this. But on this fateful day,I was
told my account had been deactivated and given the REACTIVATE button
to click. I was then given SIGN IN to click and it worked. I was able
to access all my emails (both before and during the deactivation
period) and forwarded some of them to my other email addresses.

BOTTOM LINE: You can always reactivate your Yahoo account before the
90-day period of grace expires. Perseverance is the key. Signing in
used to get me INVALID ID/PASSWORD,but it later worked. I don't know
about deleted accounts,though.

The world's youngest mothers

Puberty, which is the process of a child's body maturing into an adult
one that is capable of sexual reproduction, usually begins in girls
when they're around ten to eleven years of age. The major landmark of
female puberty is menarche, which in simple terms is the onset of
menstruation. This process of puberty is then usually considered
complete by the time girls reach sixteen to seventeen years of age.
However, there are several documented cases of extremely early onsets
of puberty and menarche, known as "precocious puberty".




Precocious puberty may be brought about by a tumor in or an injury to
the brain, among others, but whatever the cause of precocious puberty,
girls who experience it often otherwise end up leading normal lives.
But shockingly, a few of the girls who undergo premature menarche end
up conceiving at unbelievably young ages. Undeniably, what makes such
cases so scandalous is that obviously, these girls engaged in sexual
intercourse for their pregnancies to take place, thus giving rise to
the certainty of child abuse having been committed against the minors.




Here are the ten shocking cases of the youngest birth mothers in
recorded history:



10. Anna "Anya" from Russia .( Age of Motherhood: 8 Years, 7 Months.)
Not much is known about the case of a certain "Anya" from Russia who
gave birth in Rostov-on-Don in April 2000. At the time of the
delivery of her baby, Anya was only eight years and seven months old.
Apparently, a thirteen-year-old neighbor had raped Anya and caused her
to get pregnant after she had undergone menarche at an extremely young
age.



9. Hilda Trujillo ,from Peru .
Age of Motherhood: 8 Years, 7 Months.

( www.hdwallpapers.in )
Hilda Trujillo of Peru was from a poor family that lived in a one-room
residence. With her family stayed a 22-year-old cousin, who one day
secretly raped the seven-year-old Hilda. Five months later, Hilda's
mother, a servant, noticed that her daughter's stomach was growing
abnormally. That prompted her to take Hilda to a doctor, who revealed
that Hilda was pregnant. The cousin who raped Hilda was immediately
charged and arrested.
Approximately eight months after the doctor's diagnosis, on December
2, 1957, Hilda, without the aid of any anesthetic, prematurely gave
birth to a 6-lb healthy baby girl named María del Rosario.

Don't be an impersonator!

Every body shape,height and complexion has its own admirers. Nobody is
"beautiful" enough to attract everybody or "ugly" enough to attract
nobody. That is why many beauty queens are accused (by those who do
not favour their looks) of sleeping with the judges to get the crown.


Many women wear fake hair,fake boobs,fake hips,etc to hook a man. The
funniest of them are those wearing fake boobs and hips. The poor guy
will know the truth only after taking her to bed. Who is to blame if
he dumps her later? The impersonator. Meanwhile,guys who love small
bust have kept away because they considered "hers" too big for their
liking.


A woman who bleaches her skin before marriage will find herself in
trouble when she stops and the hubby discovers she is really
dark-skinned. Meanwhile, "her" fair skin had prevented her from
marrying a man who loves dark skin. Pastors, parents,etc will beg him
to forgive her for the deception but the relationship will never be
the same again. Can he ever trust her again,even on serious matters
like her fidelity and the paternity of their children?

CONCLUSION: You are beautiful as you are, as long as you were created
by God (Genesis 1: 27-31). Don't let anybody convince you otherwise.

Women demobilise Boko Haram insurgents in Borno.

MAIDUGURI-- Residents of Attagara and Kawuri villages in Gwoza and Bama local government areas of Borno State, respectively, repelled attacks on their community by suspected Boko Haram insurgents. A resident said the attackers invaded the village yesterday on motorcycles but met some women, adding "they wanted to hit the women with sticks but when they raised the sticks, their hands refused to descend."

 "Three of the insurgents fled, but seven were not lucky as the women alerted the people," and the vigilante group in the community rushed to the scene, disarmed the seven insurgents, who were later lynched. Attagara, a border community with Cameroon is about 10 kilometres South-East of Pulka District in Gwoza Local Government Area of the state and about 130 kilometres from Maiduguri, the state capital.

Also, scores of gunmen suspected to be members of Boko Haram were killed yesterday through the combined efforts of members of the vigilante youths, otherwise known as Civilian JTF, and the military in Kawuri village, Bama Local Government Area of Borno State. *Click here to continue: www.vanguardngr.com/2014/05/women-demobilise-boko-haram-insurgents-borno/ .

The relationship between indecent dressing and rape

Many people (especially men) readily blame indecent dressing on
hearing about rape cases without getting full details of each case.
Are all rape victims to blame? Wait and see.

It is easy to blame an adult woman for dressing indecently, accepting
drinks and/or lifts, entering a man's room alone, asking for money or
gifts, begging for marks,etc. But what of babies who get raped?

A 6-week-old baby in South Africa was smuggled out of her mother's
room and raped by her maternal uncle while her mum and grandmum were
watching TV ( www.au.ibtimes.com/articles/525997/20131129/baby-infant-rape-child-abuse-south-africa.htm
) . Was she indecently dressed? Even if she was fully naked,what is in
her body at that age to arouse any sane man?


Not all rape victims were indecently dressed. Not all indecently
dressed women end up raped. Some celebrities like Maheeda and
Afrocandy arouse men online and go scotfree while the men descend on
defenceless children if they can't afford prostitutes or their
girlfriends refuse to enter their rooms alone before marriage.

Let's join hands to throw both the rapists and the indecently dressed
women behind bars and stop making excuses for either.

Boko Haram plans to abduct boys to marry abducted girls

The Principal of Government College, Makurdi, Mr Godfrey Ugudu, on
Saturday said the school had received a letter from the Boko Haram
sect threatening to attack the school.

Ugudu, who announced this at a news conference in Makurdi on Saturday,
added that the school received two letters which had the same content
on May 14.

"It is true that we saw two letters informing us of the intention of
the sect to invade our school on Friday or Monday. The letters were
dated May 14, 2014, stating that they were coming either of the two
days to abduct our boys whom they would marry to the secondary school
girls abducted in Chibok. In the letter, we were asked to inform the
Mount Saint Gabriel Secondary School opposite us to also get prepared
as they promised to invade the place too.''

According to him, "We immediately alerted the police and the
Commissioner for Education. A report has been made to the Governor on
the issue. One of the two copies of the letter, written in pidgin
English, was sighted inside one of the classrooms and the second one
was slipped into the staff room'', he said.


The principal commended the government and security operatives in the
state for their prompt response to the issue.
He said that everything had been done to ensure the safety of the
school children, adding that he had informed the Principal of Mount
Saint Gabriel.


About 500 out of about 700 students of the college are living in the
school while Mount Saint Gabriel is a purely boarding school.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Dan Ezeala,
confirmed the report and assured that the police were on top of the
situation.

Yahoo Mail or Gmail : Which is better?

I used both Gmail and Yahoo mail accounts for about 5 years. I personally prefer Gmail because of the following reasons:

 1. I couldn't access the Yahoo account through my mobile phone ,even when I moved up from Nokia 2700 to Nokia Asha 210. I was always asked to sign in from a computer. Yahoo mail is advisable only for people with laptops and PCs. Imagine being able to sign in to your Yahoo account only when you visit a cyber cafe. What if you are living or working in a cafe-less village or town? You won't know whether your account has been infiltrated and is being used for shady deals. Some cafe computers have applications that can store your password for later use even if you don't click on REMEMBER PASSWORD! Gmail can be accessed from any browsing phone.

2. While you can apply more than one LABEL to a mail in Gmail,you can only move a mail to a single FOLDER in Yahoo Mail.

3. Gmail's FILTERS automatically apply prespecified labels to each incoming mail. Yahoo mails have to be manually sorted into folders by you,the account owner.

Boko Haram on the rampage in Borno: Kills 56, abducts 5 cops, 10 Chinese, burn village, seizes armoured vehicle

No fewer than 56 persons were killed by Boko Haram insurgents in
separate attacks in several areas of Borno State at the weekend. The
sect also abducted five policemen and seized the Armoured Patrol
Vehicle (APC) the policemen were using.
This is even as a Chinese national was feared killed and 10 others
kidnapped after an overnight attack by the sect in Kuseri village
between Gamboru Ngala council area and Cameroon Republic, also
yesterday.


In one of the attacks, at least 40 villagers were killed and several
others injured yesterday's evening by gunmen suspected to be Boko
Haram members in Dalwa-Masuba village of Damboa Local Government area
of Borno State, security sources and witnesses said.

The gunmen who were reported to have attacked the villages in their
large numbers also burnt down the entire village alongside three
pickup vans carrying firewood from Damboa to Maiduguri, the state
capital.

A member of the security vigilantes, Abbas Gava, who spoke on phone,
said no security personnel had reached the attacked town at the time
he was speaking.

"We heard about the attack from some of the villagers who fled the
village, and we had to drive there on our patrol van. The entire
village was set on fire, and about 40 persons were lying dead all over
the place; their firewood pickups were also set ablaze", the local
vigilante said.

But the attack, however, has not been confirmed by the police and
other security operatives, as all their phone numbers could not be
reached for confirmation as at press time.

Man Mysteriously Dies In Grave Trying To Exhume Body In Osun

An unidentified man suspected to be a ritual killer has been
mysteriously killed in Osun state while trying to exhume a buried
corpse.


According to reports gathered on the strange incident which took place
in Ilobu community, located in the Irepodun Local Govenrment Area of
Osun state, the supposed ritualist was found dead, half buried in a
grave from which he had tried to cut off the head of an aged woman who
had been buried there.

A source in the community who spoke to newsmen revealed that the
corpse had been buried for over 5 years and that the man found dead
did not operate alone.


"This particular corpse was buried five years ago and the suspected
ritualist attended the burial in Ilobu. There are indications that he
did not dig the grave alone.
What we discovered is that he may have been attempting to cut off the
head of the corpse when something suddenly hooked him as he managed to
force half of his body into the grave to cut off the head.
He got hooked and died on the spot, a development which possibly
compelled other ritualists to run away from the scene so that they may
not be affected by the mysterious thing that killed their colleague",
the source said.

Speaking on how the residents of Ilobu got to know about the incident,
the source explained that the half-buried body of the suspected
ritualist was discovered by a hawker in the early hours of the day.

"A woman who was hawking ogi (a local corn meal) early in the morning
of Wednesday spotted the torso of the suspect sticking out of the
grave and raised the alarm.His corpse was discovered around 6.30am and
his head was covered in mud. The residents here alerted the police
division in Ilobu and they later came to evacuate the body and put it
in their van before taking him away," he said.


The remains of the deceased were said to have been deposited at the
Ladoke Akintola University Teaching Hospital (LAUTECH) mortuary in
Osogbo ,the state capital.

20 children kidnapped in Calabar in 3 months + Their tricks that parents should watch out for.

(on April 12, 2014 at 6:27 pm)

With over 20 kids abducted in three months in Calabar, the stories
surrounding their disappearance are like tales from the moon, but what
is happening to kids between the ages of three and six in the Cross
River State capital, is far from tales; they are real-life incidents
which are sending shivers down the spine of many parents.

Since February, men from hell have besieged the city, snatching
children suspectedly for ritual purposes or sale to barren women
around the city who allegedly pay triple digit amounts for the kids.

The Cross River State House of Assembly and the State Security
Adviser, Mr Rekpene Bassey, disturbed by the trend, raised the alarm
but this has not yielded any results. The police in the state are yet
to make arrest on the kidnapped children.

Describing the modus operandi of the abductors, Bassey said they would
position themselves in busy areas to watch out for parents who park
cars with children inside to abduct the kids. In other cases, the
thieves abduct children playing outside their residences. Others are
snatched while on errand or on the way to or from school. And in some
daring cases , the abductors snatch kids from parents while pretending
to offer them lift. The security adviser warned parents to beware of
child kidnappers and assured that security agencies had been placed on
the alert over the situation.

In one of the cases of child kidnapping which occurred on March 23, a
four-year-old, Nsew Udo Akpan, was snatched by abductors while playing
outside his home with his sister at Atekong Street, Biq Qua Town.
Another 4-year-old-boy, Effiong Edet, was abducted in Ikot Onim area
of Calabar by hoodlums who raided the community in an Audi car with
the number plate covered.

The kidnappers struck at about 8:30 pm on Wednesday March 12 while the
local vigilante members, majority of whom are said to be football
lovers, were preoccupied with watching the Arsenal match against a
Turkish football club in the European league.

The gang , on arrival at the community, reportedly drove to the Edets'
compound where they sighted the boy (Effiong) and his friends
playing.

The hoodlums first attempted to whisk away a six-year old boy,
identified as Joseph, who resisted his assailants by crying and biting
one of the kidnappers on the hand which caused them to abandon him .
Then ,they seized Effiong who they bundled into their car and sped
off.

In February, a three-year-old boy, Victor Offiong-Edem, was taken away
by unknown persons at the Assemblies of God Church, located at 14,
Nnamdi Azikiwe Street, Calabar South, during Sunday service.The father
of the boy, Mr Offiong Edem, a staff of the College of Health
Technology, Calabar, told Sunday Vanguard that he took his family to
the church on the fateful day. After the offering, he went to work and
left Victor in the company of his wife, Angelica, and his other son,
Samuel, but was later informed that Victor had gone missing".

Parents, 6 Sons Sexually Abused Girl For Nearly A Decade (14.05.2014, 18:11 Foreign)

Parents and their six sons were arrested for the alleged sexual abuse
of their 16-year-old sister/daughter.

According to the sheriff of a small county in northeast North
Carolina, Eric Tilley, the alleged abuse by the brothers, ranging in
age from 19 to 27, began when the girl was 4 years of age and
continued until she was almost 15.

Authorities have identified the brothers as Aaron Jackson, 19,
Benjamin Jackson, also 19, Nathaniel Jackson, 21, Mathew Jackson, 23,
Jon Jackson, 25, and Eric Jackson, 27.

Charges against the brothers range from rape to sexual assault,
according to Tilley.
The men's parents, John Jackson, 65 and Nita Jackson, 54, face charges
of felony child abuse.
The sheriff stated that part of the investigation revealed that, at
one point, the mother observed some of this activity and never did
anything about it.
Tilley described the family as "bizarre" and said he believes the
father is "anti-government" and "anti-schools."
"The children were home-schooled with very limited education," said
the sheriff. "They were very private and the whole yard has a fence
around it -- like a little compound. They're very different."

The allegations of abuse surfaced in December 2012, when Eric Jackson
allegedly told the pastor at Hope Baptist Church in Wake Forest, North
Carolina, about the alleged abuse.
After speaking with the pastor, Eric Jackson allegedly went to the
Perquimans County Sheriff's Office and told them that he, along with
five of his siblings, had been sexually abusing their sister.
"From there, we had two more brothers confirm what he said," Tilley said.

Despite the alleged confessions, police needed more evidence to make
arrests in the case. For that, they attempted to speak with the
alleged victim, but she and her parents moved to Colorado.

"I sent one of my investigators to Colorado and he had an eight-hour
interview with her," Tilley said. "She confirmed everything her
brothers told us."

All six of the brothers were arrested on May 6 and are being held on a
$150,000 bond. The parents are currently free on a $15,000 bond.

"I Know Where the Female Students Are but I Won't Tell Anybody" --Senator Opens Up

Nigeria is at a crossroads and that is the explanation for this
madness going on. While the international community and countries like
the USA, France, China, and the UK are strategizing on how to rescue
the over two hundreds girls kidnapped from their school in Chibok,
Borno State, a Nigerian senator representing Borno North, Senator
Ahmed Zanna, has said he won't tell anyone where the abducted girls
are being kept.

As an insider, he was asked where the girls are. The senator said: "I
won't tell where they are being kept again because I have told the
Federal Government where they are likely being kept before the video
was released. Now that I saw the video, the vegetation in the clip
confirmed what I have told them earlier.If they want to know where
they are being kept, then the government should remember what I told
them before. What I can tell you is that the girls are no longer here
in Chibok."

Senator Zanna made this declaration on Monday on CNN when he was being
interviewed by Isha Sesay.
When the lawmaker was asked by the reporter about what he felt about
the latest video released on Monday by the Boko Haram terror group
showing some of the abducted school girls, the senator said he
experienced mixed feelings when he saw the video.
Sen. Zanna opined that while he was happy to know that the kidnapped
girls are still alive, he also informed that he felt sad to realise
that the teenagers are being used as ransoms by the terrorists in
exchange for some of the members captured by the military.

While saying he was privy to information about the movement of the
insurgents when the girls were abducted, the Senator said he told
security agents that contrary to their belief that the abducted girls
were in Sambisa forest with their abductors, that they have since been
split and ferried through Lake Chad to neighbouring countries among
which he said were Chad, Niger and Cameroon.

Senator Zanna blamed the military for failing to rescue the girls
before the development given that they got all the necessary
information about the movement of the insurgents from him personally.

Borno residents overpower and kill over 200 Boko Haram members

200 Boko Haram Terrorists Killed By Locals In Kala-Balge LGA,
Borno14.05.2014, 16:48 Local


About 200 suspected Boko Haram terrorists lost their lives yesterday
in a failed attempt to ravage the town of Rann, headquarters of
Kala/Balge LGA of Borno State, as local residents retaliated.


The BBC and AFP information agencies, as well as Sahara Reporters have
confirmed the story first published by Nigeria's Daily Trust and
Naij.com.

In the early hours of May 13, from 300 to 400 insurgents disguised in
military outfits stormed Rann and nearby Kalabage village in two
armoured tanks, eight Hilux pick-up vehicles, and seven SUVs, also
painted in Nigerian army colors, according to eyewitnesses. They were
met by armed locals who had knowledge of the impending attack.


Residents say they have formed a vigilante group since the mlitary are
not doing enough to protect ordinary Nigerians. A trader from
Kalabalge said this is why most attacks by Boko Haram on their village
have been repelled.

As soon as they gathered the information of the impending attack,
local men positioned themselves in surrounding bushes and forests,
armed with bows and arrows, dane guns and pump action rifles.

Speaking to the AFP on condition of anonymity, a Borno official
disclosed that at least 10 insurgents have been detained, scores
killed and injured. A number of motorcycles were recovered from the
insurgents, as well as several Toyota Hilux vehicles and an armoured
personnel carrier.

An anonymous eyewitness, who spoke to the BBC Hausa Service, said the
area was "littered with bodies" after the fighting, adding he counted
50 bodies of the insurgents in one village, and 150 in another. Some
vigilantes are said to have also lost their lives and sustained
injuries in the fighting, but the numbers are yet to be ascertained.

Also, according to Sahara reporters,the state's Governor Kashim
Shettima is to visit Kalabalge later this week.
Kala-Balge LGA lies along the shores of the Lake Chad, sharing border
with Cameroon.

Despite the emergency rule imposed on the state a year ago, Borno
State has been a constant target for Boko Haram attacks.


Over 200 female students were kidnapped by the sect on April 14 from
Chibok town. Ngala LGA of the state has also been hit, as over 300
persons were killed on May 5; another 30 lost their lives on May 8,
when a bridge linking Nigeria to Cameroon was bombed by the sect.

French Sources Say Kidnapped Chibok Girls Are Now In Central Africa

(11.05.2014, 11:36 Local time)


French news medium, Jeune Afrique, has said that the kidnapped Chibok
girls have been seen in troubled Central African Republic with armed
men.
They said the girls were seen with armed men in Birao, a small village
in the north of CAR.


The French report was translated by Punch reporters and it states
that: "The Nigerian schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram have passed
through the northern CAR, escorted by armed men. Based on several
testimonies of inhabitants, the women arrived Wednesday, April 30
aboard trucks.


"They were guarded by heavily armed men, who spoke English, and also
members of the former (CAR) rebel group Seleka."
Seleka is an Islamic rebel militia that took over the CAR government
last year and has put in their leader as President. The group has been
carrying out several executions, rape and looting, making France send
more troops to the troubled area.

The French paper continued: "According to our source, the convoy of
two trucks and a pickup was previously seen at Tiroungoulou (about 170
kilometres southwest of Birao) and perhaps Chad."

"Upon arrival, some were frightened, cried and were violently rebuked
in English. The girls and their guardians were then housed for several
days in a house. The group reportedly left the scene on the night of
Sunday to Monday, May 4 to 5, without a trace," the report said.

Meanwhile, the Cameroonian government has denied reports that most of
the girls were married off in the country.
