UK-based Nigerian Relationship Counselor, Pastor Sola Adio has reacted to the popular “Shiloh” threat some Nigerian men diss single women with.

According to the relationship counselor, single men who are “broke and don’t have enough sense to attract a woman” need shiloh more than single women.

Pastor Sola tweeted;

“If you are a single man, don’t diss a woman here with Shiloh. Why are you still single? Perhaps you are broke or you don’t have enough sense to attract a woman. You need Shiloh more badly.”

Two children have died while their mother is fighting for her life in an intensive care unit after they had a meal which was allegedly poisoned.

Sindiswa Moloi, 33, from Katlehong in Ekurhuleni slipped into a coma and was admitted at a hospital in Alberton following suspected poisoning which killed her two children Nkanyezi, 11, and Michelle, 8.

The two were certified dead near their Tshongweni Section home in Katlehong on Thursday evening – about an hour after eating supper.

Moloi’s family suspects that a very close family relative may be behind the alleged poisoning incident.

Police spokesperson Capt Lesetja Mathobela, who confirmed the incident said two inquest dockets have been opened.

“We have not yet made arrests because we are waiting for the laboratory results to confirm if what was found on the food they ate was indeed poison,” said Mathobela on Tuesday.

Mathobela said Moloi’s husband was taken in for questioning after he admitted to the police that he cooked the food but did not eat it himself. He was later released after being interrogated.

He said after Moloi’s husband’s release, he was also admitted into a different hospital after he allegedly also consumed food with poison.

“He is not in a critical condition. Investigation is ongoing,” he said.

Moloi’s cousin Beverley Mofokeng, who was among the first to arrive at the scene, said the incident happened around an hour after the family had supper.

“Just after 7pm, the first child – Nkanyezi – began to feel sick. While they were waiting for the neighbour to drive Nkanyezi to hospital, Moloi also collapsed and she and her son began discharging froth from their mouths,” Mofokeng said.

Within minutes, Michelle also collapsed with froth coming out of her mouth.

“The children took their last breath lying down, while their mother was rushed to hospital where she was admitted in the intensive care unit upon arrival and her husband was there watching,” said Mofokeng.

Sibongile Letele, Moloi’s mother, said she got a call about the incident on Thursday night while she was in Soweto, where she currently lives.

“My relatives called me around 9pm and told me that I should come to Katlehong because my daughter was being taken to hospital and her children had died at the neighbour’s yard while waiting for emergency services,” she said.

Letele said she gave her daughter Moloi and her husband, Katlehong, her house two years ago after they moved out of a rented apartment in Johannesburg due to financial struggles.

But she said she had begged her daughter to come back home with the children because, as a mother, she could tell that Sindiswa was no longer happy with something, even though she had been very secretive about it.

“Just before this incident happened I begged her to come back home, I don’t know how I will tell her that her children have died when she wakes up from the coma,” said Letele.
