The Nigerian Police in Adamawa state stopped a peaceful protest organized by the Adamawa State Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) earlier today.
According to PUNCH, the peaceful protest called by the Adamawa State CAN Chairman, Bishop Stephen Mamza, on Wednesday, drew a large turnout from Christians who trooped to St. Theresa Catholic Church, the venue initially planned for the take-off of the procession.
It was gathered that shortly before the take-off of the protest scheduled for 9am, Mamza told the congregants who had turned up for the protest that the police had canceled it.
CAN said the protest was to draw the government’s attention to the protection of human lives whether Christian, Muslim or Fulani. He gave an instance of the recent attacks in Mayo-Belwa which claimed the lives of several Fulani.
CAN also spoke against the Federal Government’s neglect of the state on matters of security. It said the FG’s silence was disturbing because the killings have not abated.
Mamza who said the procession would have afforded the church the opportunity to present its petition to the State Governor, Mohammed
Jibrilla, who will then pass it on to President Muhammadu Buhari, was refused the permission for the peaceful procession.
“The police have refused to grant us the permission but they cannot refuse us access to God. The police have no authority to stop us access to God.”
A 22-year-old lady identified as Alexis has revealed how becoming an £150-an-hour (over N75,000 per hour) escort has made her feel like a ‘new woman’ after growing disillusioned with online dating.
Alexis entered the world of sex work in a bid to find ‘fun and excitement’ after a spate of bad experiences with men, and told the cameras her first experience was not as ‘sleazy’ as she thought it would be.
According to The Sun UK, ALexis signed up to Cardiff’s largest escort agency – the name of which was not given – where she offered a 66 per cent cut of her hourly fee.
Alexis’s agency manager, Laurence, insists he is selling nothing more than ‘time and companionship’ – and anything that takes place during a booking is ‘mutually consenting’ between the woman and the client.
During their first meeting, he told Alexis:
‘You’ve got quite a unique look, we’ll present you as an ebony princess.’
Laurence advised the newbie to ensure her clients hands over cash at beginning of a ‘meeting’ and to wear ‘expensive and classy’ clothing.
Alexis – whose family and friends had no idea about her new career path – was quickly inundated with offers from clients and described her apprehension during a taxi ride to her first booking.
‘I don’t really know what I’m getting myself into,’ she admitted. ‘I’m just nervous that it’s not going to be what I expected it to be.’
But after the hour was up, she was full of praise for her ‘really nice’ client – while conceding that he was ‘quite chubby’ and not her usual type.
Reflecting on the ‘awkward’ encounter later on, she said:
‘As soon as I gave him the money, he started taking off his shoes and put his socks on the radiator… he took off his jacket and was unbuckling his belt.
‘The things he was saying in my ear, it just felt good.’ Alexis concluded that for an hour’s company, it was ‘easy work’.
‘It’s not as cheap or sleazy as I thought it would be given that he’s quite a bit older than me,’ she mused. ‘I felt like I was on an expensive date. I felt like I was his wife almost.’

A stray dog has been awarded a medal after completing a half-marathon in outback Australia and winning the hearts of its human competitors.
The cross-breed diligently ran the 21-kilometre (13-mile) Goldfields Pipeline Marathon near the West Australian town of Kalgoorlie this month in two-and-a-half hours, the average time of participants.
A total of 94 participants ran Australia’s Ellery Brookman Goldfields Pipeline Half Marathon earlier in July. The typical finisher had approximately 2.02 legs.
The average was thrown off by a local stray dog named Stormy, who met the runners before the race and then, citing a light schedule of licking himself and sleeping for 18 yards that day, decided to join them.
Stormy ran the course diligently, hitting every checkpoint and finishing with an estimated time of 2:30 — good enough for a top 70 finish. Despite not wearing a bib, the very good dog was recognized for his efforts, earning a medal for running 13.1 miles despite stumpy legs.
“This dog is walking around, making itself known to all the runners. We get the air horn out and say ‘Go’ and off he goes with everybody,” volunteer coordinator Allison Hunter told Australia’s ABC News.”
Speaking with all the aid stations and marshals later, we found out he stopped at every single one.”
Stormy didn’t get much time to revel in his accomplishment, however. Rangers took the canine from the finish line, which is a pet-free zone, to the pound after no one claimed him at the end of the race. He’ll spend up to seven days in dog jail waiting for his owner to pick him up.
Organizers were told the good boy is a year-old resident of a local Aboriginal community who doesn’t have a single owner, but knows everyone in town.
If no one claims the rugged half-marathoner pup by the end of the week, he’ll be put up for adoption. Anyone in western Australia looking for a running mate will be able to apply to give him his forever home for a cost of about $300, plus expenses.
Pls spread the word about this evil girl to create awareness before she gets another victim. It could have been any one of us. Sexual harassment is real and should not be tolerated.
Guys, don’t dress in a compromising way or hangout in compromising places. You might be inadvertently bringing this on yourself. #menawarenesshttps://t.co/iirP0RHEYS
It’s a pathetic situation we have found ourselves in this generation. Ladies raping or taking advantage of poor and helpless men. Parents need to do more in training their daughters. Parents should constantly discuss consent with their daughters. God help male gender.
Why? Because Men cannot be taken advantage of? He was drunk and she tried to grab his penis!. Thank God for his life, it would have been a different story by now. Women need to teach their daughters to do better. No means no. Stop taking advantage of drunk men.
This is saddening. Thank you for the boldness to speak out. Please talk to someone close I am sure you will be fine. Stay safe bro. https://t.co/NSPuns3hDD

The Bayelsa State Government has decided to start placing Pregnant women in the state on a N3,000 monthly allowance to cover the cost of antenatal care.
This was made known by Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State, who announced a monthly allowance of N3,000 for pregnant women in the state.
Seriake Dickson made the announcement while speaking during the maiden Infant and Maternal Mortality Summit held in Yenagoa, the state capital, on Monday.
He said the allowance was meant to cover the cost of antenatal care for expectant mothers every month.
He said:
“In order to make it possible for every pregnant woman to deliver safely and to ensure that they are accounted for, supervised and supported throughout pregnancy up to the time of delivery, the government is announcing a safe maternity allowance of N3,000 per month to every pregnant woman in Bayelsa.
“From the moment a Bayelsa woman and every woman living in Bayelsa becomes pregnant, she is entitled to N3,000 until her delivery.
“But that money will be accessed upon registration in your nearest health care facility for antenatal services. Those who are attending to you will ensure they run a simple test to ensure that you are pregnant.
“As they confirm that, they will enrol you for the antenatal programme, which should not be more than nine months. From that month, through the recommendation of that health care centre, you will receive N3,000 every month until you deliver.
“This is not just about making money available, but ensuring that the health team gives me a monthly report of the number of women who have been registered in the safe motherhood programme from each local government, as well as the report of their pregnancies and delivery.”
An Akwa Ibom State High Court’s Judge, Justice Okon Okon was beaten by some kidnappers after he sentenced them to death.
As soon as the presiding judge pronounced the death sentence on the kidnappers, the convicts started to abuse him and went on to attack him within the court premises.
The kidnappers also went on to threaten to kill the Akwa Ibom State Government’s prosecution team.
The criminals later went berserk, destroying the window of the courtroom and causing pandemonium along Ikot Ekpene Road, where the court is located.
A source told Punch Nigeria:
“The situation became messy, as litigants and lawyers in other courts ran helter-skelter for dear lives.
“For about an hour, the kidnappers refused to leave the courtroom. It took the intervention of a combined team of soldiers and policemen to take the convicts to a waiting prison vehicle.”
The names of the convicts were given as Bernard Ajomaya, Christian Naya, Daniel West and Shedrach Dala.
They were accused of kidnapping a medical expert in Uyo, Dr Usen Bassey, on May 19, 2015, and demanding N10m ransom.
They were later arrested with part of their loot, the passport and financial documents belonging to the doctor.

Standing in front of loved ones, groom Dave Mosher looks down and smiles as his new wife triumphantly throws her arms into the air.
But his grin hides a feeling of “torture” – for he is quite aware, these are some of the final moments of his beautiful bride, Heather Lindsay Mosher.
Just 18 hours after the emotional hospital ceremony, he held Heather’s hand as she took her final breath following a year-long cancer battle.
Aged only 31, she had fulfilled her dream of becoming a wife and a mother – to her husband’s daughters, Sophia, eight, and six-year-old Molly.
Now, seven months on, Dave, 35, has bravely spoken out about his and Heather’s wedding day and the devastating hours that followed.
“The wedding was torture for me,” he told Mirror Online.
“Here I am – I’m in the final hours. I was a wreck throughout the service. We had to stop several times because Heather couldn’t breathe.
“We then went back to her hospital room for the reception.
“On one side of the room we have food and cake and pictures – and on the other side of the room we have Heather who is hours away from dying.
“No-one knows how to react. We cut the cake and we had a nice moment there. For me, it was like torture, knowing what’s just around the corner.”
The dad, whose ex-wife, Ashley Mosher, took breathtaking pictures of the wedding, added that he had met with doctors before tying the knot.
“I had met with them a few hours before the wedding and asked, ‘What are we looking at here?’” he said.
“They said, ‘She’s going to pass before the week’s over’.”
Dave married ‘soulmate’ Heather in the hospital’s chapel on Friday, December 22 last year, as his two little girls proudly looked on.
Despite wearing an oxygen mask to help her breathe, Heather smiled, laughed and shared tender embraces with loved ones throughout the day.
She donned a stunning white bridal gown, with flowers placed on her lap.
The next day, a heartbroken Dave clutched his bride’s hand as she passed away, only hours after they had exchanged vows in Connecticut, US.
“All she wanted was to be a mother and a wife,” said the groom, who wants to raise awareness of the rare type of breast cancer Heather suffered from.
“She was able to do both. I feel that cancer took Heather on her terms.”
He added: “We all stayed the night [before she passed away].
“I was holding her hand – as soon as she stopped breathing you could see her spirit leave because her skin changed. She was gone.”
Yemi Alade shared a video of herself dancing to her song “Elele.” A cheeky fan then took to the comment section, advising her to get married as she’s getting old.

I didn’t think I was gonna make it, but you rooted for me.
A yet to be identified young lady has been seen on camera visibly struggling to eat burger with cutlery in Lagos.
The lady who was in company of her friend who couldn’t salvage the situation either, at the popular Ikeja City Mall has gone viral after she left an eye witness shocked by the rather desperate move.
The eye witness who shared the video on internet is yet to be ascertained as the reports soon spread like wild fire.
A housewife has revealed her husband has refused to pay back a loan of five million Naira she got for him.
She revealed that one of the reasons for constant misunderstandings between her and her estranged husband bordered on financial issues.
Mrs. Stella Nwobike stated that she had secured a loan of N5m for her husband, Victor Nwobike, but that he had refused to make a refund so far.
The woman spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria, even as her 34-year-old sister, Chioma Ihu, has been arrested for allegedly stabbing Stella Nwobike’s husband several times.
Ihu said she committed the act to save the life of her sister.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Ihu was arrested on Saturday for attempted murder of Victor Nwobike at her sister’s Lekki Phase 4 Garden, Lagos residence.
The suspect, a make-up artist, told NAN at State Criminal Intelligence Investigation Department, Panti, Yaba, that she had lived with her sister for six weeks before the incident.
She said:
“I came from Port-Harcourt to stay with my sister in Lagos because she was having problems with her husband.
“Usually, I shared same room with my sister; but on this particular day, I slept off in the sitting room because I got home late the previous night.
“Early in the morning, at about some minutes past 5 a.m., I started hearing noise from my sister’s room. I thought it was the usual husband and wife argument.
“But when their daughter started saying ‘Daddy, don’t kill my mummy,’ I rushed inside and I saw him using a device with electric current on my sister.
“I tried to stop him, but he used the device on me, pushed me away, saying that he will kill us both and he started kicking my sister while she was on the floor.
“When I noticed that he concentrated on my sister, I quickly picked a bottle of wine and hit him with it. I don’t know how I stabbed him, I didn’t intend to cause him so much harm,”
Ihu’s sister, Stella Nwobike, who was assisting operatives with investigation at Panti, also accused her husband of domestic violence.
The 44-year-old mother of five told NAN that she had been married for 13 years.
