“Selling my cars won’t end Nigeria’s recession, I’ve ordered for more” – Melaye

dino-01

Dino Melaye has opened up on his source of wealth, his love life and love for cars.

Checkout excerpts from an interview with Friday Olokor of Punch below…. Knock yourself out.

Why do you love cars?

I love automobiles and everybody can be passionate about a particular thing. Some can be passionate about homosexuality. They can spend any amount of money to sleep with a man. Some are passionate about occultism. They can buy blood at any amount of money. Some are passionate about diamonds; you can ask Diezani (Alison-Madueke). My passion is automobiles and there is no crime in that and I am very proud of it. Once the automobiles are not products of crime and they are not got from any ill-gotten wealth, then a man should be proud about what he is passionate about. I love automobiles and I am waiting for the next collection.

On odering for more cars despite some members of his constituency unable to feed, he said

Yes, my cars cannot underwrite the recession problems of this country. Even if you sell my cars now, it will not make Nigeria to come out of recession.

Where is Mrs. Melaye and what can you say specifically about your marital life?

I am single. I have three children. But I am not married. I won’t remain single forever. Very soon I will invite you (to my wedding) and I assure you (that the person I will marry) will be a Made-in-Nigeria woman.

Why do you find it difficult to settle down with one woman?

I have always been married to one woman and all my children are from one woman. I have only been married once. Whatever marriage I am going into now will be my second marriage. If you are anxious to know, I will invite you.

Are you ruling out the possibility of reconciling with your wife?

I don’t have a wife.

Many believe that you are young and therefore they query the source of your stupendous wealth. How did you get your money?

I don’t know about stupendous wealth. I don’t know about being wealthy, but I will say I am a comfortable Nigerian and I have never got any contract from the government contract in my life. I have also never taken any political appointment in my life or a position where I have control over government funds. I have never had government imprest and I challenge anyone who has any criminal allegation against me to actually come out and present it. With the vigour with which I fought the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan, if I had any skeleton in my cupboard, by now it would have been exposed. For a man who buys very expensive cars with his name labelled on the number plate, it is enough to tell you that he is clean. I am a very transparent Nigerian, a very open and honest Nigerian. I have never stolen from government and I can say it without fear. I challenge anyone to prove me otherwise. But at the same time, God is the ultimate giver of legitimate wealth and anyone who really wants to tap into the anointing of getting resources from God should please consult me.

Before you became a senator, were you already a millionaire?

I have not acquired anything dramatically new since I became a senator. The houses I have in this city (Abuja), I acquired before being sworn in as a senator. Hard work pays and the Holy Book says God shall supply my needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. To me, that is very fundamental. My source of wealth is heavenly, my purse is divine and it won’t dry up.

david-oyedepo

It would appear that there has been some criticism of Covenant University’s high tuition fees, and in this morning in Jos, Dr David Oyedepo, the Bishop of the Living Faith Church which owns the private university in a telecast to a pre-Shiloh 2016 Convention said critics of the university’s high fees should will incur the wrath of God.

He also said the issue of school fees was approved by God. He said,

The school fees has Gods approval and is in accordance with the quality of facilities provided by the university in meeting the educational needs of the nation

He also cited the example of one such critic who he says was smitten with a strange plague of chronic mouth odour over for the act and only received spiritual pardon following his confession and what the Bishop called, “my intervention before he was restored to dignity”.

News of the Bishop’s warnings to critics about inciting the wrath of God and getting plagued by mouth odor has gone viral on social media and the reactions have been heavily critical of Bishop Oyedepo.
Even controversial OAP Freeze had a lot to say about it.

Actress Lilian Esoro Reveals Secret Behind Her Failed Marriage With Ubi Franklin

ubi-franklin-and-lilian-esoro

Popular TV series actress Lilan Esoro has revealed reasons as to what led to her failed marriage to Ubi Franklin.

According to reports, a filmmaker and closed friend to the thespian, who pleaded anonymity, say she always complained about how distanced her husband was.

“He never showed up in any of her filming location and this was often a thing of worry for Lilian” he said.

Other reports stated infidelity and physical abuse as other reasons their wedding packed up 4 months ago, immediately their son Jayden was born.

Recall that words once emerged on the street saying Lilian wanted to marry another Nollywood actor who is now married, but opted for Ubi who was a backup plan from the start. And their marriage is said to be loveless from the beginning. Another claim alleged that Ubi Franklin wasn’t even plan B as she has always been the girlfriend of a very successful comedian.

However, Entertainment commentators say Lilian Esoro said no when Ubi Franklin initially proposed but he did all he can to convince her including her family as he was overly generous to them.

Sexually Active Nigerians Should Take HPV Vaccine – Expert Warns

A Consultant Gynaecologist, Dr Nathaniel Adewole, has urged all sexually active Nigerians to take the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine, to prevent them from contracting the virus.

hpv1

Adewole, said in Abuja on Thursday that the vaccine would be more helpful to men or women who had multiple sex partners.

According to him, the virus is the leading cause of cervical cancer.

hpv

“Any man or woman who has multiple sex partners stands a high risk of getting the virus, and the virus cannot be cured, it can only be managed.

“The virus can be transmitted from man to woman, especially those who have multiple sex partners.

“It is better when you are not HPV exposed; you know most virus do not have treatment, they can only be managed.

“A person can take the vaccine to prevent him/her from having it and a woman that is not HPV positive can take the injection in order to prevent it.

“The best advice for the man if he has it already is that his wife should go for screening,’’ Adewole said.

According to him, people who have multiple sex partners, early exposure to sex, and people who engage in unprotected sex stand the risk of contracting the virus.

He said that cervical cancer was one of the leading causes of death among women, especially in sub-Saharan Africa.

Adewole, therefore, advised women to do regular cervical screening or Pap smear in order to detect and treat whatever could lead to cervical cancer at an early stage.

He further advised HPV positive women to continue to undergo Pap smear screening while non-positive women should have the screening done at three-year intervals.

“It’s alright for gospel musicians to perform at nightclubs” – Ghanaian Gospel Artiste, Mary Agyemang

img_20160630_153911_425

One of the questions that bothers many gospel musicians is whether it’s alright for them to perform at nightclubs. While others argue that it’s a good way to reach out to souls and draw them to Christ, there are those who believe that performing in a nightclub is biblically inappropriate.

“Change Over” singer Mary Agyemang joins the list of gospel artists who believe performing at a nightclub is okay.

According to the singer, a gospel musician should always be ready to perform at any event as such platforms only present another opportunity to spread the gospel.

“We are to go anywhere and preach the gospel so I’ll go,” she said. “If I don’t go to the nightclub, who will be there to deliver the message to them. I always say that we should not be hypocrite. Will you be tagged as a sinner if you perform at nightclub?”

Agyemang pointed out that many people just want to preach the Word in church yet there are many sinners out there who need to be reached out to.

“We always want to preach at churches so how will the sinners outside the church know Christ,” she asked. “The Bible even tells us to go everywhere on this planet to preach the gospel but didn’t say only the church.”

Asked specifically whether other artists who have chosen to stay away from the club are hypocrites, she gave an emphatic yes and asserted that “if you won’t go and preach to them, who should go there? They are being hypocrites. If you tell me you won’t go there you are a hypocrite because you do not know the lifestyle of the person at church you are always preaching to.”

Some people argue that by performing at a nightclub, a Christian musician gives a bad image, which is likely to send people further away from Christ. The argument is that people whose weakness is clubbing may not quit if they see professed Christians joining them at the club, whether to spread the gospel or otherwise.

When it comes to preaching the Word of God, many Christians say it’s important to look for a neutral place to spread the word. Let it not be a place that can send wrong signals to those who don’t totally agree with Christians going to nightclubs.

For example, what happens when a pastor is seen walking into a brothel? Will people view him as someone going to preach the Word of God or simply giving in to his lust? Even though he might be going into the brothel to win souls, his action is likely to send more people away from Christ.

Still, others insist that it really doesn’t matter what people think as long as your intention is to spread the gospel word.

President Jacob Zuma says he is not scared of going to jail despite corruption controversies

zumas

Speaking to thousands of supporters at the party’s victory rally in eDumbe‚ KwaZulu-Natal‚ on Saturday‚ Zuma said he is not threatened by political parties who approach courts to scare him.

zumas1

“People think democracy is done at courts. They never mention the will of the majority‚ they always talk about courts. They never even speak to us about democratic debates because they know we are good at debates. They think by going to courts they are intimidating the ANC. We are not going to be intimidated‚ even if it means I get arrested today‚ I am used to it. I have spent a lot of time in jail‚ you cannot threaten me with jail time .I am not scared of jail I have been there‚” Zuma said to loud cheers from the crowd.

The Democratic Alliance won a court application to review the dropping of a corruption case against Zuma in the High Court.

The party will once again lay corruption charges against Zuma following the release of former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela’s Sate of Capture report.

“This next week will be the moment of reckoning for our country. We have to speak out against this attack on our Constitution and our democracy and fire Jacob Zuma immediately‚” DA leader Mmusi Maimane said in a statement.

Zuma said opposition parties who approach courts on political matters are misrepresenting democracy.

“People who can’t argue democratically always rely on courts. They love courts so much. That’s misrepresentation of democracy. We must debate issues‚” Zuma said.

The president was in eDumbe to thank voters for their support in the local government elections which took place in August.

His address marked his first public appearance in the country since the State of Capture report was released on Wednesday.

Zuma did not address allegations made against him in the report.

Ghanaian prostitutes wants prostitution to be legalized..so they can work morning, afternoon and evening

prostitution

Due to the economic stagnation in Ghana, commercial sex workers from Adansi-Obuasi in Ashanti region are pleading with the government to legalise their trade in other to enable them operate freely.

Read Full Report Below:

Commercial sex workers at Adansi-Obuasi in the Ashanti region are calling on government to as a matter of urgency legalise the trade in Ghana.

They want government to either provide them alternative jobs or legalise the present trade.

According to them, life has been unbearable considering the current economic conditions in the country.

The commercial sex workers explained that they only sneak to have sexual bouts with their clients in hotels, clubs and other joints.

Prostitution if legalised they stated, will enable them operate freely and not being harassed by security personnel.

They are also promising to vote massively for any presidential candidate that will heed to their concerns.

A representative of the aggrieved sex workers in an interview with Obuasi-based Shaft FM Mama Sweet explained that if government legalises prostitution, it will help them make proper savings adding that monies generated from their night work is not enough due to the time limit.

She promised to vote for the Mahama-led National Democratic Congress (NDC) if it legalises prostitution.

‘We want government to legalise prostitution by giving us licenses to operate, so that we can work morning, afternoon and evening. Some of us were introduced into prostitution by our friends due to lack of financial support from family members,’ she stated.

I can kill for love — Clinic Matter Actress, Nurse Titi

nurse-titi

Nigerian actress, known as Nurse Titi (Nkechi Emmanuel) who studied History and International Relations before delving into acting has revealed that she is a jealous lover and can kill for love.

The actress who has starred in many blockbuster movies in a chat with Saturday Vanguard revealed she can do anything for love.

Speaking further, the actress revealed that she will soon be getting married, although she gave no definite date.

While talking about love, the actress revealed: “I can kill for love. Love is a good thing and when I find it, I am a very jealous lover. If anyone blocks my path, I can kill that person.” she said.

Asked what she thinks about how much actors are paid in Nigeria, she added: “We are not well catered for. I have been opportune to do one or two short movies in Hollywood. M and one other guy were the only Nigerians in the film. Over there, we were pampered; I must confess. If you complain of headache, you will be allowed to the green room. But here in Nigeria, even if you are dying, you must go on because you have been given a certain amount of money.”

Okay, I’d be honest, for you to understand the faults of the logos, you need to engage with that dirty, naughty parts of you, that is of course, if you have one, but if you don’t, then you probably wouldn’t get it.

The brand signs that these companies chose are eye-catching enough but all for the wrong reasons. The logo you see above is from the Catholic Church’s Archdiocesan Youth Commission and it’s supposed to represent a priest protecting a child but look closer and what else can you depict ?

“He Smells My Vagina Anytime I Come Back From A Journey” – Wife Seeking Divorce Tells Court.

vagina1

A woman, Dasola Adeosun, has pleaded with Ile Tuntun Customary Court, Mapo Hall, Ibadan, Oyo State, to put an end to her union with her husband, Taiwo, whom she alleged on several occasions had attempted to use their only two-year-old child for money rituals and that he used to smell her pants and fingers her each time she travelled to check whether she had slept with another man.

According to Nigeria Tribune, Dasola said:

“My husband married me about three and a half years ago as a virgin and we gave birth to a child who is two-year-old, Emmanuel. We’ve separated for about one and a half years and he has not been responsible for our welfare. Whenever he beats me, he either takes me to the hospital for treatment by himself or calls a nurse to come and set a drip for me in the house. I’ve tried to endure his excesses but it seems my patience does not pay any longer.

“After delivering my baby, he insisted on taking the child to his family house where unfortunately, my things were set on fire when a stick of matches was lit and thrown into my room through a window. It was after that incident that he told me he was taking the child to Lagos for money rituals. He took this step twice but he returned to me with the baby that he was told the child was not useful.

“Each time I asked him to give me money to take care of our child, he would say: “the child is not useful for me,” and since then I’ve been doing what I could for the child. I can’t dispute the fact that his sisters brought golden morn and milk for the child every month since he started feeding on them but it’s not enough.

“He paid no dowry on me before we became husband and wife because I was the one who ran,” Dasola told the court.

The defendant, Taiwo, denied the allegations. He said that his wife is promiscuous and stubborn.

“I observed that each time I go to my shop, my wife calls other men. She even uses my phone sometimes to make calls. I’ve tried to stop her but she’s been adamant. “She’s stubborn, disobedient and wayward. Shortly after our marriage, we had a quarrel and she slapped me.”

The court, however, asked Taiwo if he ever beat his wife and what step his parents took. He replied ‘I never beat her once.

Dasola, however, opened up to the court that although Taiwo’s father has been intervening in their affairs since they got married, he withdrew at the point of provocation from his son.

She said that Taiwo takes advantage of his father’s old age and opposes him each time he tries to make peace between them and that his mother is dead.

Not satisfied with his wife’s submissions, Taiwo said: “I’ve made a mistake getting married to you

President of the court, Chief Agbaje Henry Olasunkanmi, after listening to the couple, told them to bring their family members and the child, Emmanuel to the court on November 11 for judgement.

Kenyan Widow Hacks Lover To Death In Tragic Love Triangle. (Photo)

kenyan-widow

A 36 year-old widow in Kenya last Thursday hacked her lover with a machete and left him dead in a pool of his own blood.

According to Kenyan news media, the suspect Martha Mukatisila Emoit, had confronted the man with accusations of infidelity. The couple had picked a quarrel at a pub in Eldoret town, road block area, at around 8pm.

During the heated quarrel, Martha attacked the man with a sharp machete, inflicting several deep cuts on the head before escaping.

“She was breathing heavily when she confronted her boyfriend at the pub. No one attempted to approach her since she was holding a sharp machete,” an eyewitness Mr Joseph Wambulwa said.

“Afterwards an argument erupted prompting her to slash him on the head before taking off.”

Furious residents quickly rushed to her home and set it ablaze following the incident.

The Eldoret fire brigade together with police arrived at the scene and subdued the fire. A manhunt was immediately launched that led to the arrest of the woman deep in the night.

The body of the deceased was taken to Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) mortuary. Confirming the incident, Eldoret West OCPD Tom Achiya said investigations are ongoing.

“This is a serious case and once investigations are completed we will charge her with murder,” said Mr Achiya.

The woman is currently being held at Baharini Police post in Eldoret West.

“I am not gay” – Actor, Benson Okonkwo

gey2

Over the years, popular Nollywood actor, Benson Okonkwo’s sexuality has been in doubt. While some people would readily swear that the actor is gay, others have argued that he is bi-sexual. However, what has fuelled the rumours the more is the fact that the actor hardly addresses the issue.

However, in an interview with Saturday Beats, the actor who normally does not discuss his sexuality, opened up. He said that he was not gay even though he refused to talk about his private life.

He told Saturday Beats that he has developed a thick skin when it comes to controversies and that is why he hardly speaks on them.

“I don’t listen to what people say about me anymore. I am just living my life because it is too short. The more you listen to people, the higher your chances of having high blood pressure and death. You only live once and if you let people’s comment take you to an early grave; it is the same people that would come to your funeral. I have never given a damn about anybody’s opinion when it comes to the way I live my life. I am not gay and I have never acted in a porn movie because I am not a porn star,” he said.

The actor who currently released his latest flick, ‘Benson the Maniac,’ said that he is aware the movie would create another controversy because he is playing the role of a bi-sexual person. He told Saturday Beats that people should not judge him as only God holds that right exclusively.

Okonkwo said, “In ‘Benson the Maniac’ my character is a manic who later contracts HIV. The character sleeps with both male and female in the movie. It is a controversial movie. A lot of my colleagues like Cossy Orjiakor, Uche Elendu, Denrele Edun, Beverly Osu, and Shirley Igwe among others acted in the movie. People should not judge, it is only God that can judge me. All I did was do my job by acting in the movie.

“The controversy that would trail it would just make people view it and once they do that, Google pays me. If they don’t understand the message the movie is trying to pass across, no problem. I am no longer interested in what people think. I am doing my job as an actor. I am an actor, I don’t want to have high blood pressure and die before my time. Before, I used to check my comments section to see what people were saying about me but now, I have developed a thick skin for me to live long and enjoy my life. As long as it is not true; I love fashion and my career. My ability to interpret any role given to me is what makes me a good actor.”

Nigerian troops rescue another Chibok girl

000_h474k

The Nigerian military said on Saturday they had rescued another of the missing Chibok schoolgirls near the border with Cameroon.

“Nigerian army troops rescued another Chibok schoolgirl at Pulka” on Friday evening, army spokesman Sani Usman told AFP, adding he would give details of the rescue operation later.

The girls were kidnapped from their school in Chibok town, Borno, on April 14, 2014, by Boko Haram.

The terror group on October 13 released 21 of the more than 200 kidnapped schoolgirls after a deal was brokered by the International Committee of Red Cross and the Swiss government.

The Nigerian government thereafter confirmed it was negotiating with a faction of now fractured terror group for the release of about 83 of the girls.

“These 21 released girls are supposed to be talebearers to tell the Nigerian government that this faction of Boko Haram has 83 more Chibok girls,” presidential spokesman Garba Shehu, said then.

“The faction said it is ready to negotiate if the government is willing to sit down with them,” said Shehu, adding that the state is prepared to negotiate with the branch of Boko Haram.

Boko Haram apparently split when the Islamic State group appointed Abu Musab al-Barnawi as the head of Boko Haram early in August. But the erstwhile leader of the group, Abubakar Shekau,countered the appointment, insisting that he was still in charge.

It is unclear what the Federal Government did to secure the release of the 21 girls freed, but AFP quoting local sources said four Boko Haram commanders were freed.

“The four Boko Haram militants were brought to Banki from Maiduguri in a military helicopter from where they were driven to Kumshe in ICRC vehicles,” AFP reported.

But Shehu and Nigeria’s minister of information and culture Lai Mohammed insisted that the government did not release any Boko Haram prisoner.

Being dark has denied me movie roles – Mercy Johnson

mjmj

Actress, Mercy Johnson has become a household name today but many may not know the screen diva faced rejection in the movie industry at some point in her career.

In a chat with Saturday Beats, she revealed that some movie producers did not give her slots in their production because of her dark complexion.

She said that when she started out in the Nigerian movie industry, most movie directors and producers always preferred to cast fair-skinned ladies at the expense of talented but dark-skinned ones.

“It is very true that when I was starting out in the movie industry, it was difficult to get roles because of my complexion. I faced that a lot and I tell people that my success is just grace. Somebody once told me that I am too dark but that is where the grace and favour of God comes in. Regardless of everything, most of the dark-skinned actresses that are my contemporaries made it,” she said.

The actress who has featured in scores of movies told Saturday Beats that it would be unfair of anyone to say she features in any movie without any consideration.

“It is not true that I pick just any movie role. People are different and what appeals to one person might not appeal to the other. One of my most popular movies is ‘Dumebi Goes to School’ and I know how many actresses rejected that script before I accepted to do it. That movie has been one of the highest selling movies in Nollywood till date. I think it is not fair for anyone to say I just jump on any movie production. As human beings, our strength is in our diversity and differences; this means that what you call trash might not be trash to someone else. I select my scripts and I work with all of my heart because acting is my passion. When I read a script and it appeals to me, I have fun while I do it,” the actress said.

Sometimes, people find love in mysterious ways and in strange places. So what if you find love with your ex’s sibling? Would you go ahead and get married to him or her? Here’s what some celebrities think;

No, it would complicate things- Kelechi, Udegbe, Actor

No, I won’t. My reason is simple. Things will get complicated later especially if we still have feelings for each other.

The best bet is to put a good distance with my ex. We could still talk, but we’ll avoid close contact.

Yes, of course! – Bose Oladimeji, Actress

Of course, YES! If he would be better than his brother, why not? If he would give me the joy that I wanted from his brother, why won’t I marry him? There’s nothing new in this world and one man’s meat is another man’s poison. As long as there’s love, there will be no problem. Yes, if we’re happy together- Keira Hewatch, Actress

NO way! – Nkechi Emannuel, Actress

For me, I think it’s a No No, since the person is related to my ex by blood. Even if I’m in love with the person in question, I will ‘unlove’ him immediately. What is love? Love is ultimately a decision… So, in that case, I can also take a decision to ‘unlove’ him

It would breed bad blood between the sisters- Kennyblaq, Comedian

I can’t marry my ex’s sister because such marriage will be filled with a lot of trust issues. I don’t think any woman can tolerate her husband’s ex even if they are related. That means every family gathering will be a time bomb that could go off if I get too close to her sister. Moreover, I don’t think it’s fair to be the cause of that kind of bad blood between sisters.

Popular for bringing news blogging to a completely new frontier, Linda Ikeji has indeed come a long way. With 10 years experience in the business, she is definitely nobody’s fall gal.

The former model recently opened up to TS Weekend on her career, love life and what she wants from her man.

Why do you always write negative stories about celebrities that are not your friends?
Look, I have never written any negative story about anyone except ‘him’. I don’t want to mention any name, because I don’t want any distractions. More so, they are all my friends and I don’t have any bad belle towards anyone, I am only doing what I know how to do best.

Do you think the threat was too much from ‘him’ (Wizkid)?
I am never moved by any threat, and nobody can threaten me. I am not doing an illegal job, I publish what I heard or saw.

Don’t you think your mansion is too big for you especially now that you are single?
Hmmmmm, I am 36 and I have been struggling for 10 years. I believe I deserved it. Look, I don’t belittle myself. I believe that what is worth doing at all is worth doing well. I have the money to buy the mansion, so why won’t I do that even if I am not married yet. Don’t you think that anything can happen anytime? I am not praying for death now but someone needs to enjoy life for the fact that we still breathe. Buying half a billion naira mansion is my choice, and I am not regretting it.

Can you tell us about your plans for marriage and what you are looking for in a man?
Yes now, I am ready to settle down. Truly, when I was still struggling, I didn’t think of getting married. I was so ambitious and focused on my career. I was so passionate about my dreams. But now, I am getting there gradually. Recently, I sat down and thought of everything I am expecting in a man. My expectation was so high but now I have reduced it to just three.

What are the three things you are looking for in a man?
Haaa… why will I tell you that? Okay fine, my man must be rich because I can’t marry a poor guy. Secondly, I need a man that will fully support me, a man that will always drive me, a man that will motivate and push me higher. And thirdly, I want a man that is caring and sexy, most importantly, a man that is good on bed.

If you get married, are you moving into your husband’s house or he is moving into your mansion?
Of course yes, I will move down to my husband’s house and leave my parents there till when God says it’s time for them to come home. There is nothing wrong in that.

Muslim Chaplain Causes Stir For Saying Women “Sin” If They Refuse Sex From Their Husbands.

A Muslim police chaplain has been ordered to explain himself after he claimed that women “sin” if they do not consent to sex with their husbands.

Musleh Khan, who claims to be an expert on marriage counselling, believes that a wife must be completely obedient to their husband, according to a leaked presentation.

The new police chaplain reportedly said that unless a woman is ill, or is fasting during the holy month of Ramadan, they must consent to sex when their husband demands it.

He allegedly said:

“Without a valid reason then she committed a major sin. “So sisters it’s part of your act of worship towards Allah that you try to respond to this as best you can as part of your duties as the wife.”

Khan also reportedly advised women that they should seek permission from their husbands just to leave their home.

The perturbing comments came in a question and answer session at Ummah Nabawiah Mosque in Ontario, Canada, in 2015, where Khan explained that a girl is fit to be married whenever she hits puberty.

Speaking about Mohammed’s marriage to nine year-old Aisha in the Koran, he reportedly said:

“Nine year-olds back then are comparable to 20 to 30 year-olds now. “Back then at nine years old you were mature enough and you could get married.”

Daily Express UK reports that the president of the Toronto Police Association, Mike McCormack, received a torrent of emails about the chaplain’s views and said Mr Khan “needs to clarify his comments.”
