Lady Lures Mentally Unstable Man Into Having Sex With Her After Seeing His Manhood

A lady has been arrested for reportedly ‘raping’ a mentally unstable man. The dancer identified as Evernice is suspected to have been enticed by the size of the man’s privates before she lured him into a private room.

Whilst in the room, she allegedly had sex with the victim.

The incident occurred on Friday around 5pm in Chinhoyi area of Zimbabwe where Evernice had gone to perform along with her fellow dancers. She has been charged.

Mashonaland West provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Clemence Mabgweazara confirmed the arrest but said he is yet to be furnished with more details.

Dancers Association of Zimbabwe (DAZ), President Harpers Mapimhidze, confirmed the incident and blasted the dancer for tarnishing the name of the association.

“We condemn and don’t tolerate such behaviour by a dancer and we don’t expect this in the future. “She took advantage of the man’s condition to quench her appetite,” said Mapimhidze.

A close source to the incident said:

“It was on Friday last week around 5pm when the man was making some funny moves. “He was exposing his privates and he has a big private organ which Evernice got attracted to and she then got interested to get close to the victim.

“She then took him to a room where she slept with him.”

Added the source:

“After she finished having sex with him, he told people that he had had sex with the accused. “A counsellor was quickly called before police also came to the scene and took her to the cells.

“She was on stage, and she was advised to run away since she had committed an offence by sleeping with a person who is not well.

“She refused to run away saying that he was the one who had slept with her,” said the source.

Minor accuses Winners Chapel pastor of introducing her to alcohol and repeatedly having sex with her.

A 17-year old girl has accused the resident Pastor of the Amagba branch of the Living Faith Church a.k.a Winners Chapel, Pastor Kingsley Emeka Mokwunye, of introducing her to alcohol and repeatedly having sex with her even in her father’s house.

Speaking in tears, the victim whose name was withheld by the police, said her affair with her pastor began in September last year shortly after she finished her secondary education.

“He used to call me to advise me to stay away from boys, to live a good life and always respect my parents. I took it like he was my own father that I could trust and tell him anything I want to say.

“That was how he started calling me, talking to me till it got to a time he told me that he likes me. I took it as a normal thing. He started taking advantage of me. He tells me I do not know what he is doing for me. He started showing me things I have not seen before and took me to places I have never been to. That was how it started. He was the first person to show me how condom looked like. He taught me how to take alcohol. He told me not to tell my parents. He said they will understand what he is doing. He slept with me many times including our house when my parents are not at home.

“Thinking about the thing has affected me educationally. I could not read. The whole thing was disturbing me. When I told his wife, she said I was lying and told me to come to their house and repeat it before her husband. I want Pastor Kingsley to go to jail. I was always shocked anytime I am in church and see him preaching. I was afraid of telling my mother what was happening”.

Her father, Mr Paul Obidah, who serves as a board chairman of the church branch, said he was shocked that a Pastor he trusted so much could do such an evil thing to his only daughter.

It was tragedy at Sunshine Lodge, Ihiagwa, one of the satellite communities close to the Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO), Imo State on Tuesday night.

Three students collapsed and died while taking turns to have sex with a co-student after allegedly taking a mixture of tramadol, codeine and vodka. Two of them, according to an eyewitness account, died instantly while the only lady among them and another male student were found unconscious.

”Please forgive us” – Retired Boko Haram members beg Nigerians

Boko Haram members beg

Repentant terrorists of the Boko Haram sect have pleaded with Nigerians to forgive them for their abhorrent activities over the years.

The ex-terrorists made the appeal after their graduation from a de-radicalisation exercise and vocational training organised for them by the Federal Government which took place at the former permanent NYSC Orientation camp in Mallam-Sidi town in Kwami Local Government Area of Gombe State yesterday April 3rd.

Bappah Mura, a former member of the sect who was once a farmer, said he was deceived into joining the group only to realise that all they were told were lies;

“I beg Nigerians for forgiveness. I regret totally what we were forced to do; it was not my intention but I beg for forgiveness. I was a humble farmer before I was deceived to join the Boko Haram sect. All they told us were different from all we were made to do; they lied to me and deceived many of us. My heart bleeds that we were used to destroy lives and property by the sect. But today, I am so happy that we have been trained and made to acquire skills in different ventures. I am grateful to President Muhammadu Buhari and the Nigerian Army” Bappah said

Abana Ali, a 62-year-old repentant member said he was sorry for everything, noting that they were also terrorised while with the sect until the army came to their rescue.

“I am deeply pained in the heart that we had been associated with such a devilish group; I beg Nigerians to forgive and accept us back. We were deceived and forced to join the sect; because of my age, I was not allowed to partake in their operations, but was made to do menial jobs in their camps; we were also terrorised and enslaved, until the Army rescued us.

“We are grateful to the Federal Government for the show of love; the de-radicalisation training has been helpful and now I do not need to go home to beg, but to contribute what I have been taught. Nigerian youths out there, I tell you the truth; there is no gain being Boko Haram members, except for regret and intense sorrow; we pray that no youth witness the harsh condition we were subjected to”

Omotola Jalade recounts how her first daughter cheated death and overcame brain damage.

Omotola Jalade recounts

Nollywood Actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has taken to her social media page to recount how her first daughter, Princess, cheated date and recovered from Brain damage.

Posting this lovely photo of Princess who turned a year older some days ago, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde shared one of her profound experiences as a mother.

She wrote ;

”She was barely a year,she started running a temperature,can’t remember how many hours anymore… she is our first child and we had not much experience. Gave her some medication didn’t seem to get better…suddenly,she slipped into what seemed to be a COMA.
I panicked,we all did… neighbors everyone screaming and suggesting all sorts…. she was clenching her teeth fiercely, an Old woman we knew in the neighborhood suggested to put a spoon and pour SALT into her mouth (Totally wrong move)”Pls cold shower”…

We rushed her to the hospital and at first, the doctors were a bit reluctant ( I guess they thought it was a lost case) however, almost without much hurry she was worked on and miraculously,she came back!
She had prior turned cold and was not responsive… hmm
We were told , it was “High fever” it had affected her brain and she could probably not develop normally or be able to catch up with her peers. Short of saying a vegetable…. As people of faith, we called on God, used proper medication and most importantly, applied extra lessons and treated her Normal as others.

At first it was challenging, as she grew, she struggled, mostly with her sight. She couldn’t see things right in front of her! Even in school , she would be put in front and still not see. A few changed schools,glasses,extra lessons …we kept pushing.

At every level Princess Worked Extremely hard,harder than others . Always trying to prove everyone wrong and pass.

Every time we feared or doubted, she passed with flying colors and moved to the Next phase! Miracles before our eyes… Today she not only finished well from Uni, she insists on going for her Masters and is conquering all her fears.

Yesterday, she drove with her dad without instructions back and forth in traffic all around v.i.
You might not really understand this but anyone whose been told they can’t achieve or do something especially for health reasons will understand.

This is the first time I am saying this in public and Many will be shocked,some might go,oh… now I understand… Princess, you’ve been an inspiration to Me without even knowing. May you inspire others too. God Continue to Bless you my #WCE”.

Suleiman Kazaure, the director General of the scheme, made this known on Tuesday April 2nd when he visited the 2019 batch A corps members at the NYSC orientation camp at Kaiama in Kolokuma/Opokuma local government area of the state.

Speaking during his visitation, Kazaure said

“I have come to see the 2019 Batch ‘A’ corps members in the camp, and to assess some facilities in the camp, but our major concern here is the safety of this young people,” said the NYSC DG. I am very concerned about the incident that happened last two weeks – where two corps members were killed. We are working with other security agencies to ensure their safety during their primary assignments.

“Governor Seriake Dickson should do the needful about security of corps members. These young ones are national assets on national assignment, and if nothing is done by the state, we will withdraw corps members from serving in Bayelsa State.”

“Churchill was not Mr X, I only gave him the glory” – Tonto Dikeh

Tonto Dikeh blasts

Controversial Nollywood actress and mother of one, Tonto Dikeh has revealed that her estranged husband, Churchill was not Mr X, the mysterious man who was showering her with expensive gifts before she got married.

The actress went on to describe him as an ‘irresponsible ape’ – this she did, as she responded to a viral blog post written by a certain blogger, Ogo Oluwa, who had described her as a bitter woman.

Ogo Oluwa had written,

1. Why is Tonto Dikeh so used to inconsequential Attention. I just saw her post on Instagram calling her Baby Father all sorts of names. She sounds like a very bitter person. You deny the Boy from his Father and tell the World he’s not responsible.

2. How come someone who gives scholarships to other people’s Children every year not be able to take care of his own child.

3. Is it logical that the same person who took you to court Cos you wouldn’t allow him access to his son, not be able to take care of that same child. Common!!!

4. U changed the boy’s name to ur family’s name like he’s some sort of bastard without a father. I could remember some years ago when the love still dey shack u when u posted a 22million SUV Churchill bought for u. Cos you’re not together anymore, you’re tarnishing his image

5, How about the 15 million naira worth of jewellery you were flaunting those days that he bought for you from Ghana. Now you tarnishing ur Child’s father’s name and calling him a fraudster. The boy will grow someday and will ask you questions you might regret asking.

6. U are too crazy about attention. Ur irrelevance is really frustrating you. You can’t be these bitter Tonto. Calm down and respect your son. It is the respect u give to his Father that’ll reflect on the boy.

7. U should always reevaluate your thoughts before you do anything. Calm down for a while so we can all rest and see the real things. Every opportunity u see, u want to tarnish ur Son’s father’s image. My dear, people are watching!!! You should realise that you’re a mother!

8, You were angry Churchill bought a house for his mom in Lekki, that it was supposed to be you instead. You have mind push your mother-inlaw off the staircase before his son bought her a house worth 220million

9, You were the same person celebrating all the gifts he was showering you those days. Now you say he’s these and that. We are tired Biko

10, We have never seen him say any bad things about you on social media, knowing fully well you’re the mother of his child. Cut everyone the slack and be sensible for once.

11, You’re advising people online to give their life to Christ and the next minute you’re using all sorts of lecherous and vile language to address people online

12. I still remember a video you posted of your dad praising Churchill that he paid N1.5million as your dowry. Common, if the marriage didn’t work; focus on other sane things and allow love flow in your son’s heart. You’re teaching the boy to hate his Father

13. How about the Presidential Rolex you were flaunting all over social media you claimed was worth 15million naira he bought for u. Kai!!! Live your life off social media and stop lying regularly to gain attention

14. All his philanthropic works have you been the one funding it? See the issues you had with the manager of your foundation, threatening to kill him and his family

15, The other day I heard u say you were the rich one and he was broke, show us proof on how you’ve been sponsoring him.

16, You were lost in the Nollywood movie industry, and you act like you were so big and relevant before he came into your life….

17, You guys lived together for 6 months according to him, you started staying together after birth never before then, when did all these happen , while you were breastfeeding or ?

18, How about the guy that was arrested in Switzerland because you told him lies and ruse him to blackmail your supposed hubby.

19, Lastly, My dear go back to work, and stop all these anomalies… They won’t salvage the lost situation for you!

However, while reacting to the above story, Tonto Diken was of the opinion the story was sponsored by her ex-husband – she then spilled the beans saying he was never the revered Mr. X she had always talked about.
