For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealers showroom, and knowing his father

Three-year-old pupil defiled by a female teacher.

Parents should always be careful and keep a close watch on their children. I read this story from Punch.

   A three-year-old pupil was defiled by her teacher, Patience Orunma at a private school in Ojodu Berger in Lagos State. According to the victim, the teacher took her to the school toilet and pencil to pierce her virgina. Then the teacher used a white piece of cloth to clean the blood. On June 21, when  the pupil's mother was bathing her, she discovered blood stain in the pupil's private part. Immediately, the mother reported the case to the school in which the pupil identified the suspect in the presence of her mother and the head teacher. The mother was not satisfied with the outcome from the school  and decided to report the case at Isheri Police Division where she was given a letter to go to Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja. After medical examination, the doctor confirmed that the child had been defiled. The case was transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba, Lagos where the case is under investigation.   

Illegal weapons

Rocket

 The men of the underworld have raised their level. They are importing rocket launchers and rocket propelled grenades to replace the improvised explosive devices. These dangerous weapons are now used to cause explosions at a distance without been caught by the security agents.

 This investigation was done by the Nigeria police. It was found out that the weapons came in through insecured borders in the north.

Since the death of President John Evans Mills a week ago, several ‘men of God’ are claiming that they prophesied about the President’s death and happenings afterwards.
Some have claimed that the late President’s death could have been averted if specific directions and prayers had been followed while others have said it was bound to happen.
But in what can be said to be the boldest claim yet, a prophet, Segbene Xenodzi, who described himself as a servant of Yahweh says he has received a revelation from God that will empower him to bring President Mills back to life. In an interview with Adom News Monday, a confident Prophet Xenodzi stated that though God directed that the revelation be followed by sundown on Saturday 28th July, there is still an opportunity for the nation to return to God and follow the directions that had been given.
He added that God had promised that if those directives were followed, He would force the four winds of the earth to blow and resurrect the late president.
He expressed worry that even though he had publicized the directive since he received it from God the media had failed to support his cause whiles government officials had refused him access to President Mills’ corpse to be able to pray for the resurrection process to begin.
Pastor Xenodzi said he had refused to sign the government’s Book of Condolence because of the revelation from God and called on government officials to act swiftly to the call from God whiles the opportunity remains.
He challenged officials and the family to allow him access to the corpse and witness the power of God as he resurrects President Mills.

According to eye witness, the unmarried couple who have two children were taken to the center of the town of Aguelhok. They were dragged into two holes and were stoned to death by the Islamists.

 Comments were gotten from socials networks like facebook and twitter. Some of the comments were “We need to arise and stop the government from sentencing us and our loved ones to death.

 It was learnt that pressure has been on the authorities of NYSC who are collaborating with the state government of the affected state on how to secure the corps members who are posted to their states.

In December, i will marry again - Pastor Chris Okotie

 After the break-up of the four year - old marriage between the Pastor Chris Okotie and his wife, Stephanie Henshaw, Pastor Chris said in December 2012, he is getting another wife. He said the it is not reasonable for a man to be alone. He also quoted the bible saying a man should not be alone, that he needs a helper.   
 The founder of the Household of God said their marriage is irreconcilable and he fell for her beauty and not the real quality that he was looking for from a woman. Sources in the church said the marriage has been having cracks in the past two years thinking that things would get better until the man of the centre of the drama finally broke the news. This is his second failed marriage.
 Pastor Chris first marriage was with Tyna which lasted for 17 years. People were shocked when they heard of his first break-up with his first wife, Tyna because it was the talk of the town in which their honeymoon was in Dubai, London and France for some weeks.
  I am really disappointed with the way a whole Pastor who should be showing good examples to we that are single will be changing women like wrappers. In the bible, it is read, if you divorce a woman for any reason, you should not marry again unless the woman is dead. Pastor Chris, please practise what is in the bible. If i am wrong, please correct me.
