  • Gunmen kidnap businessman’s wife in Delta

    Gunmen on Tuesday night kidnapped a middle-aged housewife of a businessman, Mrs Christie Orakeme, at her family home in Asaba.

    Family sources told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Asaba that Orakeme was kidnapped in her car at about 10.25 p.m. while waiting for her son to open the gate for her.

    The source, who is a son of the victim, simply identified as Junior, narrated how the gunmen shot into the air as they drove off in high speed with their victim.

    “My mother went out at about 9 p.m. to attend to some urgent matters in the church. She returned and was waiting at the gate for us to open the gate for her, when some armed men attacked her.

    “They forced her out of her car and put her in their own car, a Mercedes Benz car, and zoomed off. I gave them a chase on foot, and was shouting for help, but no one came out,”Junior said.

    NAN further gathered that the kidnappers had called the family last night with the victim’s cell phone demanding a ransom of N60 million, but later reduced the amount to N25 million.

    Husband of the victim, Mr Osita Orakeme, who arrived from his base in Oghara, near Warri , also confirmed to NAN that the kidnappers called him twice, and have reduced their ransom demand to N25 million.

    “They have called me twice, in fact they called to say I should give them N25 million, but I told them I don’t have such amount of money, and they hung up the phone,”he said.

    Contacted, spokesperson of the Delta Police Command, DSP Andrew Aniamaka, confirmed the incident to NAN on phone, and said the police had commenced investigations after the family reported the matter late Tuesday night.

    “I have been able to confirm the kidnap after the matter was reported to the ‘A’ Division of the State Police Command. Firstly, we have to do everything humanly possible to rescue the victim unhurt.

    “We also need every available information to help us to track down the kidnappers,“Aniamaka said. (NAN)

  • “I Did This Since He Could Not Sexually Satisfy Me” – House Wife Narrates Her Story

    “I Did This Since He Could Not Sexually Satisfy Me” – House Wife Narrates Her Story

    Sponsored Post

    I had dinner with my lawyer friend recently and our discussion took us to how the rate of divorce is drastically increasing in Nigeria. The most shocking part of that discussion was when she told me the reason for many of these divorces. She said in 3months, she had close to 9 divorce cases and 7 of them were because THEIR PARTNERS COULD NOT SATISFY THEM SEXUALLY and 1 case was because THEY BOTH WERE NOT COMPARTIBLE ENOUGH TO BEAR CHILDREN. She went on to add that, ‘do you know that many Nigerian women actually forgive their men for cheating on them and continue in the marriage, but almost No woman can survive sexual frustration for a long time?’.

    One of her clients who came to her for help and narrowly escaped divorce is a Lagos housewife by the name Chioma and here is her story in her own words.

    “We have been married for 7 years and I was nursing a pain which eventually turned my marriage sour. I and my husband had it going good for at the beginning. After a while, I just became more and more sad every time we had sex, but it got worse after we welcomed our first child. Well, as a well brought up and very moral woman, I tried to talk myself out of the feeling of frustration I had, cause I thought I had to bear it as a way of showing I loved my husband.”

    Well, cut the long story short…. Her husband, Dave, lost his job along the line, go into the tiring race of trying to get a new job. Since, that did not work out, he left it and started trying to start a business, and since Chioma was a full time housewife, they became dead broke and more frustrated.

    According to her, “To add up to all these mishap, Our sex life headed for the rocks. I had to look for ways to avoid sex as I did not want those hopeless feelings creeping up at me since his performance was below par. He always cited excuses for his below performance, from tiredness, stress and lots more. I wept bitterly because I was sex starved. Whenever Dave entered me, he spilled even before three minutes. We talked about it and one of the divorce restraint I had was the fact that I saw him doing his best to help the situation to no avail.”

    She continued saying “ shortly after I came to you to pour out my heart concerning the situation, I visited my childhood friend, Ireti at her home. She got married some years before I did and since I could confide in her, I poured out my heart to her in tears. She revealed a secret to me which left me speechless. I appreciated her kind gesture and quickly rushed home”.  You can read the Testimonials Of Other Men here

    “Days later, one evening I decided to share the secret with Dave with detailed explanation. He applied the secret that evening and that same night, we made love and his performance improved a little  because it sure was better than it had been in the past years.”

    “The wow thing was that by the fourth day, our sex life had greatly improved to the point of having several sex rounds. I was and am still short of words, there are times when I have to gaze at him for long to be sure I was in my husband’s arms. It feels now like he has a magic touch to his performance. Great part is the fact that his confidence has returned and he is now in control. Thanks to this amazing secret”

    “Thank God I did not give up on us when I was tempted to. Our sex life has been re-positioned and it’s a get relief as our marriage has indeed entered a new phase. If you want to have Dave’s Secret of Long Lasting Performances that God used to save my marriage, you can get it here as this was exactly where I got it from”.

    I was so moved by Chioma’s story that I decided to write about it to help the multitudes of marriages today in the same situation of sexual dissatisfaction or childlessness. It just might be the miracle you are praying for. Please share this with as many people as you know. Let’s keep divorce at its barest minimum in Nigeria.

  • Housewife demands justice for alleged police eviction, harassment

    Housewife demands justice for alleged police eviction, harassment

    A woman is demanding justice after some policemen acting on ‘Court order’, stormed her home and forcibly evicted them.

    But it turned out that the said court order was implemented on the wrong house, at which point, most of their properties have been allegedly damaged.

    The incident occurred on 21, Akintunde Street, Onike, Yaba at about 11:30am last Thursday.

    Mrs Medina Billy, a mother of two, who took to social media to complain about the lawlessness in the country, said about 30 policemen and 25 touts stormed her home not willing to listen to the occupants.

    “I was in my flat on the penthouse when one of the policemen ordered I should come down that there is a problem. I asked, they did not explain what the problem was but they insisted I come downstairs. Upon coming downstairs, the policeman said they have an order from Lagos High Court to take possession of our residence.

    “I asked them I needed to go upstairs and contact the landlord so that they can speak with him to clarify the issue. As I was going upstairs, about four policemen and up to 10 touts followed me right into my sitting room. I was confused. Before I could find my phone and put a call through to my husband to contact the landlord, they started carrying my property and throwing them through the veranda downstairs.

    “I was carrying my one-year-old baby who had started wailing in fright in all the confusion. I did not have enough credit on my phone at the time so I begged one of the policemen to use his phone and he refused flatly. I managed to get one of the touts to use his phone.

    “I called my husband and handed the phone to one of the policemen who did not allow him to speak only telling him in a very rude manner that they have an order from the court. The landlord also called in and engaged the policemen that they must be in the wrong property as he holds a court settlement of almost 20 years ago on the property.

    “They shouted him down on the phone and continued throwing our things out which damaged most of my property. Imagine throwing wall AC and CD deck down a two storey building! My sitting room chairs were hauled from that height as well.

    “Eventually, my landlord succeeded in getting his lawyer to contact the plaintiff’s lawyers (Ayinde Sanni & Co) to cross check their books and be sure they sent the policemen and thugs to the right property. They must have realised their mistake and contacted the policemen and thugs who have already vandalised our property and traumatised us by locking us and our property outside the gate.

    “They now came back to open the gate without an apology and shouted we may go back in. Some of the touts now said we should pay them to pack our things back in.

    “When we started expressing our frustration and shouting at them that President Muhammadu Buhari must hear this, some of the thugs came back again to throw us out and said we should call President Buhari while the policemen looked on without doing anything! They later opened the gate after they have made sure we were intimidated and left,” she said.

    Continuing, the angry woman said a lot of their properties were damaged and some things were missing in their home.

    She decried the manner with which the policemen conducted themselves, describing it as horrible and disgraceful.

    According to her, the whole operation was evidence that there’s no law in the country, wondering how law enforcement officers will, without remorse, treat citizens in such a manner.

    “Attempts to take the pictures of the policemen were met with violence and threats. We are currently speaking to our lawyers as we must get justice for this carelessness by the lawyers of the plaintiffs and the policemen and the inhumane treatment meted on us.

    “There is no law in this country anymore. Before, I was explaining to them that they came to the wrong house because we have two House 21 in our street, but they didn’t listen. I said to myself: Where is the law in the country since police that were meant to support and protect the citizens of this country were the ones pointing guns at the citizens?”

  • How RRS official assaulted me, by housewife

    How RRS official assaulted me, by housewife

    •Police: erring officer will be sanctioned

    A housewife, Mrs Abimbola Oriade, yesterday relived how a policeman, attached to the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) on SUCO Road, Abattoir, Agege, Lagos allegedly assaulted her.

    Mrs Oriade, the Davebrooks Limited Media Relations Officer, claimed that the officer fled after beating her.

    The woman said she was attacked by the policeman, who was in mufti in the presence of other policemen.

    She alleged that she was beaten because she and other passengers attempted to criticise the driving of an RRS officer.

    Mrs Oriade said: “We would have been killed, but for the intervention of God. When we complained at their office, they attacked me.”

    According to eye witnesses, a commercial bus was going to Agege Pen Cinema when a lone RSS vehicle marked, NPF 408 D, made an illegal U-turn in front of a commercial bus and reversed close to the bus. The impact caused passengers to collide against one another.

    The driver followed the van, which drove into the RRS office on SUCO Road.

    Oriade alleged that at the RRS office she was beaten along with another passenger.

    She said: “I was in a commercial bus, heading to Agege Pen Cinema, when the RRS van suddenly made an illegal U-turn in front of our bus. The RSS driver stepped on his brake, reversed and rammed into our bus, causing our heads to knock against one another and some against the body of the bus.

    “The RRS van just took off without checking to see if we were okay. The driver of our bus pursued him. When the driver caught up with him in the traffic, he made another illegal U-turn again and ran into their base on SUCO Road, Abattoir. A policeman at the gate, Monday Okon refused to allow our bus to follow him into the base.

    “We all alighted from the bus and stood in front of the RRS office. We were explaining the near-tragic accident to the officer at the gate, when one of the officers in mufti just came and just pounced on me. He started beating me and a male passenger. After slapping and hitting us repeatedly, he said that we should go and do our worst. I made statement at the Abattoir Police Station, Agege. The officer that took my statement was Gloria Ebororo.”

    Efforts to get the authorities at the base to produce the policeman, proved abortive.

    “The other policemen, rather than stop him or fetch him out, started begging me. They started begging after my husband came. They said I and my husband should forgive the officer that assaulted me and allow the matter to die. But I don’t want the matter to die. He slapped and punched me like he wanted to kill me.”

    Police spokesperson Dolapo Badmos, a Superintendent of Police (SP) promised to investigate the matter.

    She said any officer found culpable will be sanctioned.

    RRS Public Relations Officer Femi Malik said the operative doesn’t use NPF on their vehicles’ plate numbers.

  • I’m not the housewife type

    I’m not the housewife type

    Rather than bemoan lack of jobs or wait on the husband, mother of two, Mrs. Blessing Ozoamalu took up selling newspapers in Ebonyi State. In this interview with SUNNY NWANKWO, she said, among other things, that there are many things women can do to support their families

    How many years have you been in the business?

    Three years.

    What were you doing before you started selling newspapers?

    I am not one of the housewives. I initially learnt hairdressing but there was no money for me to open a shop. I later joined this newspaper business. But before selling on my own, I was with one of the popular vendors at Banco Junction as a salesgirl. It was while I was with him that I acquired the experience and everything I needed to know about newspaper distributorship and selling of papers. After some time, I ventured into the business proper.

    How do you cope as a female vendor?

    I am doing my best because it is from here I make money to put food on the table of my family.

    How much gain do you make in a day?

    It depends on the nature of the market for that day. But at least I make some reasonable amounts of profit from the sales.

    Should more women join you in this newspaper business?

    There are so many businesses a woman can do; it must not be newspaper business. So, instead of them being in the house gossiping and doing those things that won’t please God, it is better that they start business with the little money they have. It is not everybody that will sell newspapers because the stress is too much. If you do not have the strength, you will be weighed down in the process. God has been so faithful that even when I will go about selling papers from Monday till Saturday, I have not gone to the chemist for them administer drugs. Even when I was pregnant, I used to sell newspapers until I gave birth and have not gone to the chemist or hospital to complain of one ailment or the other.

    How long do you think you will continue in this business?

    I don’t know yet, but like I said, if I see anything that I will do that will give me more money, I will drop it. But for now, as long as it keeps me busy and put food on my table, I will still be doing it until God says that I should drop it.

  • He does not want me to work

    He does not want me to work

    I am a 26-year-old lady who is doing very well in my chosen career; unfortunately the guy I want to marry is not satisfied with it. He actually wants me to resign from work as soon as we get married next year. I am at a crossroads because I am passionate about what I do. It makes me happy, but he has threatened to abandon me if I do not agree with his plan. My mother has also advised me to do as he says to keep the relationship going. Please what should I do? Mary

     

    Response

    The truth of the matter is that some men like to keep their women to themselves. They fall into the category that can be described as the possessive type. It also means that you are going to be a full time housewife once you agree to the deal. The decision obviously is yours and you need to make up your mind before it is too late. Even though you may be desperate to settle down now, you also need to consider what would happen if he suddenly falls in love with another lady and you are jobless. Food for thought, indeed.

     

    Having sleepless nights

    I am in my late 30s and I have everything a woman would desire in a man. Though I am stable financially, the concern which is giving me sleepless nights is the inability to find a good partner. Unfortunately, all the women I have ever fallen in love with have disappointed me in one way or the other. Is there something wrong with me? Ahmed.

     

    Response

    No, I think that you are perfectly okay. Sometimes the love arena can be discriminatory and there is nothing we can do about that. However, I think you need a positive attitude to life. You need to pick up the pieces and move on to a brighter future. For all you know, what you have been searching for may just be around the corner.

     

    She earns thrice as much

    I am a guy in my late 20s and I am in love with a girl in the same age bracket. She also loves me very much, but somehow I feel uncomfortable with her because of her status. Whenever I think about her education, professional background and salary I feel so inferior to her. She is a medical doctor with a plum job and her salary is thrice as much as mine. Do you think we can go far together? Biodun

     

    Response

    It is only natural for you to feel this way. However, the most important thing about any relationship is the personalities involved. If she loves you and is quite understanding, then you do not have a problem at all. But if she is the arrogant type, then she is going to make life miserable for you in the future. You also need to examine yourself and be sure that you are not the lazy type. If you are very hard working, then it is possible to move higher and earn more as well as get total respect from the one you love.

     

    Blackmailers at work

    My girlfriend has been fed all kinds of stories by my best friend in recent times. Sadly, I didn’t even know what was going on until it was damn too late. Now the girl is so bitter and she does not want to see me anymore. How can I win her love back and convince her that it was just blackmail? John.

    Response

    You must have learnt a good lesson the bitter way. There are friends and there are friends. It is not all your friends that can be trusted. Please try and talk to your girl or see if there is someone you can confide in to talk to her for you. Things would certainly get better. Cheer up!
