14,200 youths in Benue State are currently living with HIV/AIDS

It has been revealed that no fewer than 14,200 Benue youths are currently living with the dreaded HIV/AIDS in Benue State.

The revelation was made by the President of the Association of Young People Living with HIV/AIDS, APYIN, Fabian Tor.

Tor made this known at the 2016 World AIDS Day celebration in Makurdi with the theme, “Hands on for HIV Prevention.”

According to him, “The development is a serious issue but our members are committed to ensuring that the virus does not move from us to another, or from one person to the other.
“In fact, we are working hard to ensure that anti-retroviral drugs get to our members, that the virus is suppressed and that the infected live happily.”

In his speech, Country Director, United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS, UNAIDS, Dr. Camara Bilali, said the world body identified Benue State as one of the states with high prevalence rate of the virus.

Represented by Mrs. Ashir Wende, Project Manager, World Bank Assisted HIV/AIDS Programme Development Project, Benue Office said:

“The UNAIDS would continue to lead and inspire the world to achieve its shared vision of zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS-related deaths.

“The UNAIDS is well positioned to provide necessary technical assistance to ensure that 90% of people living with HIV know their status, 90% of those diagnosed with HIV are accessing sustained anti-retroviral treatment, ART, and 90% of those on ART achieve durable viral suppression.”

Governor Samuel Ortom, who was represented by the Commissioner of Health and Human Services, Dr. Cecilia Ojabo, in his speech, assured that his administration would continue to partner relevant agencies to stem prevalence of the virus in the state.

Executive Secretary of Benue State Agency for the Control of AIDS, BENSACA, Dr. Dura Gideon, said all hands must be on deck to fight against the killer disease.

Boss Of Chapecoense Airline Locked Up In Jail And Could Face 71 Charges Of Manslaughter.

chapecoense-boss

The boss of the Chapecoense airline crash has been locked up in jail and could face 71 charges of manslaughter. Gustavo Vargas, who owns La Mia airlines, will be held in custody as authorities in Bolivia consider whether to prosecute him.

One of LaMia’s jets crashed into a Columbian mountainside after running out of fuel just five miles before its destination.

Seventy-one people on board, including the Brazilian football team players, staff, and a group of journalists, were killed. Only six people survived.

The British-made jet was right at the edge of its fuel capacity when it made the journey from Bolivian to Medellin where Chapecoense were due to compete in the Copa Sudamericana final.

But another plane was given priority as the flight arrived and it was asked to circle by air traffic control. Moments later, the pilot Miguel Quiroga declared “total electrical failure” on board, confessing that there was “no fuel“.

On Thursday a judge ordered that Mr Vargas be held in custody to face possible a number of possible charges including manslaughter.

He accused authorities of having lied about his actions since the crash saying:

“I’ve blamed myself, it would have been easy to run away and disappear.”

If he accepts me and loves me I don’t care about what other people would say. What matters to me is being happy and accepting myself. We will always be judged.’

‘Since I was a child, I’ve always liked what was different, extrovert and I am a comic fanatic and I love the Marvel Universe. For that reason I decided to be who I am now and I feel good with myself. That’s the most important thing.

‘I started this project around seven years ago. I wanted to turn myself into this amazing comic character who I’ve really admired since I was little. I feel like there are similarities between this character and I regarding to personality and attitude.

‘It is important to say that the only thing I don’t have in common with him is his Nazi ideology, As for his physical appearance, I’ve always been attracted to that unique shape, his extrovert personality and uniqueness,’ said Henry.

Popular pastor forces church members to drink dettol disinfectant for miracles

prophet-rufus

A popular South African clergy, Prophet Rufus Phala of AK Spiritual Christian Church in Makgodu, Limpopo, has stunned people with his unusual healing methods.

The man shocked members and outsiders when he made his church members drink Dettol.

This is coming just a few weeks after one Prophet Lethebo Rabalago sprayed his congregation with Doom, to heal them of afflictions.

According to Daily Sun SA, Prophet Rufus made his church members drink Dettol during Sunday service.

Prophet Rufus reportedly told the congregation to drink the antiseptic liquid, promising they will be healed of their sickness.

“I know Dettol is harmful, but God instructed me to use it. I was the first one to drink it,” he claimed.

He also claimed he has been getting WhatsApp messages from people who say they have been healed.

Dr Mabowa Makhomisane, a general practitioner, said Dettol is harmless when mixed with bath water or when cleaning a wound.

“But if it goes into your stomach and gets absorbed into your body, it decreases the amount of oxygen in your system. This might cause to you collapse and die.

“If you vomit the liquid into your lungs, it causes aspiration pneumonia.

“Your lungs will get swollen and you won’t be able to breathe.”

Dr Makhomisane advised the people who drank the liquid to consult a doctor to check whether any damage was done.

If you knew my brother, he really loved his sweet dog.”

We are sincerely touched and humbled by others’ stories, their sharing in our sadness and the kindness of so many people.

Don’t worry about the dog! We’re keeping her!!! She’s part of the family.”

Married Pastor’s Mistress Kills His Wife & Children In Lagos. (Photo)

mistress-kills

A lady identified simply as Rachel has reportedly killed the wife and children of one pastor Isaac Shofolabo whom she was having an affair with after setting his home on fire. The incident occurred around 01:00a.m at 46, Oladunni Memorial Street, Double Powerline, Ejibo Lagos state.

According to neighbors, Rachel who is their tenant, has been dating the pastor who is in charge of Celestial Church of God, Joy of the Lord Parish located inside the premises for five years.

The pastor’s wife, Mary Shofolabo, his children Taiwo, 19, and Iredamola and a relative, Kazeem, 7, died at the General Hospital, Gbagada where they rushed to for treatment.

According to Nation News, narrating what happened, a neighbour who wants to remain anonymous said;

“It is a terrible thing, very shocking. It happened around 1am. It was Mama (the late Mrs Shofolabo) that woke up other residents with her scream. I was in my own room when I heard her voice and came out. Coming out, I saw fire on her body and she was shouting that Iya Rachel has burnt everyone in her house. That she saw someone moving from her house and thought it was a thief. But when she looked from her window, she saw that it was Iya Rachel. Since they are not close, she screamed and asked her what she was doing in her house. She woke up the other children at home and told them she saw a thief moving round and when they tried to go through the door, they realised it was locked from the outside. It was when they were returning to their room that they heard the explosion and people started running. It was Mama that used her hand to break her window so that they can all come out from there. When I saw her, fire was on her body and she was shouting that we should go and help her children inside the house that Iya Rachel has set fire in her house. I got to the place and saw Taiwo, Segun, Elijah and one other person.

They were the ones who told me that Kazeem was still inside, at that time, the fire was very heavy and no one could enter. Neighbours started trying to put out the fire while some of us rushed them to Isolo General Hospital but they were rejected. We went to a private hospital and they said we have to deposit N200,000. Since we didn’t have the money, we rushed to Gbagada General Hospital. There was no car and so, Mama and others were put inside tricycle, I stood by the edge of the tricycle, while Taiwo was carried on a motorcycle. By the time we got to the hospital, around 2am, Taiwo was swollen. They started treating them and they were responding. Mama even told the doctor on duty what she saw and explained everything to him. But later in the day, she passed on and few minutes after her, Taiwo died too. Their father came back from vigil around 4am and he saw what has happened. He followed some of the neighbours to the hospital to see them. The police was contacted that night. At the trauma and burns section of the Gbagada General, family members and sympathisers trooped in to see Segun and Elijah, who were severely burnt.

The surviving siblings, Bunmi, Felix and Kehinde corroborated the claim by the neighbours saying their mother narrated what happened in the presence of the doctor before she died.

Weeping uncontrollably, Bunmi revealed yesterday was her sister, Taiwo’s 19th birthday, adding that she and her colleagues at her work place had planned to celebrate it for her.

Bunmi said:

“Taiwo was very happy because it is the first time her birthday would be celebrated. At the saloon where she worked, her madam and colleagues had planned a celebration for her and she even called my cousin around 12am on Saturday telling her of the dress code and her new dance step. We do not have anyone. Our mummy was our only support and now, she has been taken from us.

My daddy knew the woman over five years ago when she moved into our compound with her husband. But her husband left when he discovered that she was my father’s lover. The woman has been causing problems for my mother. She was the reason I left the house. At a point, I told my mother to leave them that she should not put her mind in whatever they were doing. Yet, the woman was not satisfied. There was anniversary at the church on November 27 and people heard the woman complaining that my mother was overdressed and looking beautiful. That so, she could still look beautiful. They told my mother but she doesn’t take such things seriously. She didn’t read any meanings to it. Now, the worst has happened. We are crying for justice. We have reported to the police and we are begging them to investigate well because we know that something is not right. Let whoever was responsible for the fire and deaths of my mother, my sister, brother and Kazeem pay for it. We want justice.”

The gentleman was spotted somewhere in Akwa Ibom hawking doughnuts and the way he was dressed caught the attention of Inibehe Effiong who shared the photos and wrote:

“I don’t know this man from Adam and I do not care the part of the country that he comes from. I am using this platform to celebrate his devotion to his trade and admirable sense of cleanliness. He sells doughnut around the Uyo metropolis in Akwa Ibom State. Please patronize him anywhere you see him.
At a time that many Nigerians are seeking white collar jobs, the entrepreneurial spirit of this man deserves commendation. He has by his action given credence to the aphorism that there is dignity in labour. Instead of resorting to crime, he has proudly engaged in this business to cater for himself and his family.
Anyone that sees this man should kindly connect him with me. I want to support his business with my widow’s mite. If you wish to join me in contributing financially to his business please indicate the amount (no matter how small) in your comment.

Tom Ford says all men should be penetrated at least once to understand women

ford

Tom Ford, the famously outspoken 55-year-old designer and movie director, got really candid about sex, death, and parenting in the December issue of GQ magazine.

And in one of the interview’s most memorable and jaw-dropping moments, Ford explained why he thinks all men should be penetrated, and yes, he meant what you’re thinking, penetrated in the physical sense. Ford told GQ:

“I think it would help them understand women. It’s such a vulnerable position to be in, and it’s such a passive position to be in. And there’s such an invasion, in a way, that even if it’s consensual, it’s just very personal.

I think there’s a psyche that happens because of it that makes you understand and appreciate what women go through their whole life, because it’s not just sexual, it’s a complete setup of the way the world works, that one sex has the ability to literally—and is expected to and is wanted to—but also there’s an invasion. And I think that that’s something most men do not understand at all.”

This isn’t a new idea for Ford. The “Nocturnal Animals” director in a 2004 interview with GQ also declared, “Every man should be f**ked at some point in his life’.

“You shouldn’t force yourself to do it. But it’s really not that different than having a than having a massage. It doesn’t feel that much different. It’s skin. You should do it with someone you like. Do it with a friend who you think is great. It’s very easy. It’s normal.”

Ford welcomed his 4-year-old son, Jack, with husband Richard Buckley in 2012.

Meet The 120-year-old virgin who claims he’s lived this long because of Lack of sex

120yr-old-virgin-0

A 120-year-old Hindu monk has put his longevity down to abstaining from sex for his whole life.

Hindu monk Swami Sivananda was born on August 8, 1896, according to his passport, and has settled into a routine of celibacy, no spices and daily yoga.

120yr-old-virgin-01

The 120-year-old virgin is now applying to Guinness World Records to verify his claim that he is the oldest man to have ever lived, which is currently held by Japan’s Jiroemon Kimura, who died in June 2013 aged 116 years and 54 days.

He gives all the credit for his longevity to yoga, food with no spices and no sex. He said:

“Discipline is the most important thing is life.

“One can conquer anything with discipline in food habits, exercise, and sexual desires.

“Control over your needs is the biggest gain in life. I have lived for so long because material things don’t make me happy.”

120yr-old-virgin-02
Sivananda believes that times have changed but he is still the same. He said:

“Because I was born in poverty, I have never had great demands from life.

“Nowadays, people are unhappy, unhealthy and have become dishonest, which pains me a lot.”

“I just want people to be happy, healthy and peaceful.”

Standing 1.58 metres tall, the Hindu monk has never slept in a bed or used a pillow in his life.

He sleeps on the floor with a jute mat beneath him and uses a stone brick as a pillow.

Whether Guinness qualifies him as the oldest man alive or not, his lifestyle has already made him a local celebrity.

120yr-old-virgin-03

He travels to give interviews and lectures on life and people from all over the country flock to him in search of peace and the secret to his longevity.

He said:

“My followers persuaded me to come forward to claim the record.

“Previously I was worried about inviting publicity into my life as these things don’t serve any purpose in life. Though my followers would be happy to see my name in the Guinness Book of World Records.”

“Nigeria Does Not Have Piracy, I Have Never Been Pirated” – D’Banj Says.

dbanj

Music mogul, D’Banj made the comment at the inaugural edition of Music Week Africa, which was held recently at the Nigerian Stock Exchange, Lagos.

Explaining the reason behind his assertion, the “focus” crooner noted that what goes on in Alaba international market can’t exactly be called piracy because original CDs are being sold side by side supposedly pirated works.

“Nigeria is the only country in the world that does not have piracy,” he said emphatically.

As far as I’m concerned, I’ve never been pirated because it’s the same place they are selling original that they are selling the fake CDs.”

When asked which was more commercially rewarding between e-sales of music and physical sales, he said “the money is everywhere. Everyone is playing their own role. The market is here”.

Woman Abandoned By Husband Nabbed While Attempting To Sell Her 3 Children. (Photo)

tryna-sell-children

National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, (NAPTIP) in Ebonyi State has taken custody of a woman, Odinaka Ali, arrested by the police for allegedly attempting to sell her three children in Enugu State.

According to the Desk Officer of NAPTIP, Florence Onwa, the 25-year-old woman from Ezilo in Ishielu Local Government Area of Ebonyi State was living with her husband and three children in Enugu State until eight months ago when her husband abandoned them to an unknown destination.

The woman was arrested following a tip-off by a restaurant attendant she contacted to look for a trafficker who can buy her children as she could no longer take care of them.

“She wanted to sell the baby but it didn’t work. She was so unfortunate because the person she met to assist her sell the baby reported the matter to the police,” said Mrs. Onwa.

However, the suspect denied the allegation saying though she sought financial assistance from the attendant to feed her children and pay her house rent, she never discussed selling them with anybody.

The woman, who said her husband was from Amekpo Ohafia in Ohafia Local Government Area of Abia State, claimed that her arrest by the police and subsequent handover to the State Ministry of Gender Affairs in Enugu State before being brought to NAPTIP Office in Ebonyi State, was a frame-up.

She said:

“My husband is from Amaekpo Ohafia, Abia State. I and my husband had issues before and we later reconciled. We did not have any problem when he abandoned us in April this year”.

“When I stayed few weeks I did not see him, I started doing menial jobs with my little children to enable me feed them. I kept doing this till it became so difficult for me to continue it and I decided to return to my village”.

“I didn’t want to sell my children at the initial time because I passed through caesarian operation before giving birth to all of them. I met a girl who sells food in a restaurant and narrated my problem to her and she promised to assist me.

“l met the girl before, so she asked me to come to her and wait for a woman who will enter into discussion with me. I waited for the woman and she did not come. I did this three times and I told the girl that I will not come again”.

“She persuaded me to continue coming and I changed my heart. Before I could notice it, Policemen stormed the place and started asking me what I was doing there and the whereabouts of the three kids I wanted to sell”.

“I told the policemen that I didn’t want to sell my babies because I gave birth to them through operations. The policemen asked me to follow them to their station and I refused.

“They immediately invited a policewoman who came and asked me to follow them to the station, that I should obey before complain and I followed them to the station.

“While in the station, the girl who asked me to come to her said I told her to start looking for who will buy my children.”

The head of Child Development Department, Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development, Godwin Igwe, called on public spirited individuals to assist the woman take care of the children.

He said:

“the three children and their mother just repatriated from the Enugu Ministry of Gender and Women Affairs to Ebonyi. The woman is from Ishielu local government area of Ebonyi State. When we interviewed her, she said she is finding it very difficult to survive let alone feed her children. She said her purported husband abandoned her and the children in April”.

“She said it was very difficult for her to be carrying the third child of eight months old for menial jobs and she became a wanderer. So, the Enugu state government repatriated her. Her mother is late and the father is very old and has nothing doing.

“Her major problem is how to eke a living. She said if the government or public spirited individual can assist her, she is ready to take care of her children.

“If she is allowed to continue to wander in the streets, the children are at risk and if anybody approaches her for the children, she can easily release the children to the person and they will become victims of child trafficking. So, the Enugu government did not repatriate her out of malice or hatred but for safety of the children.”

Air Force Men Allegedly Kill 60 Year Old Man Over Prostitute In Maiduguri.

prostitutes-in-nigeria

A 60-year-old man, Ibrahim Bulama, was allegedly beaten to death by two Air Force men during a clash over a prostitute at a red light zone in Maiduguri, Punch reports.

Some residents of the town who spoke anonymously with the publication said one of the Air Force men, Lance Corporal Kamal Usman, had a disagreement with the old man at the red light zone.

Some youths in the area supported the old man and beat up the Air Force man, who subsequently went to reinforce, bringing another colleague of his.

They said the two Air Force men engaged the old man, beating him to a pulp. He allegedly died later of the injuries he sustained during the encounter.

Briefing journalists on the incident on Thursday in his office, the 105 Composite Commander, Air Commodore Charles Ohwo, said that,

“Preliminary investigation revealed that, on Wednesday December 7, 2016, an airman, Lance Corporal Kamal Usman, left his duty post at about 10pm, and on his way home, came across some gathering in Okona Hotel, and in an attempt to find out what was wrong, the crowd got scared and took to their heels.

“When he decided to check the surroundings to find out what scared the crowd, he entered one room and found a woman lying on a bed.

“Unfortunately, the deceased old man, Bulama, mobilised some people and came back to the hotel and attacked him from the back with machete, inflicting serious injuries on Lance Corporal Kamal Usman’s head and also snatched his rifle.

“On sensing danger, the Lance Corporal left and mobilised his fellow colleague for assistance. Upon arrival at the scene, the two Air Force men descended on the old man, and beat him to death in the process of recovering Usman’s rifle.

“The airman is now recuperating at the Air Force medical facility in Maiduguri, while his colleague who was involved in the incident have been detained, pending further investigation,” Ohwo said.

While appealing to the general public to be calm, Ohwo, who said the Air Force was not discountenancing the rumour that the injured airman was attacked while raping a woman, assured that the case would be thoroughly investigated, and whoever is found guilty will be punished accordingly, as the “Nigerian Air Force is a credible organisation which does not want its name to be dragged into mud.”

When Punch visited the hospital, the injured airman, who was chained to the bed, had several cuts on his head.

FG May Exhume Late Corp Member, Ifedolapo’s Body For Autopsy.

joke-02

The Federal Government may exhume the body of 2016 Batch ‘B’ corps member, Miss Ifedolapo Oladepo, who died at the Kano Orientation Camp recently for autopsy.

The Minister of Youths and Sports, Mr. Solomon Dalung, gave the hint in an interview with State House correspondents on Thursday.

President Muhammadu Buhari had, on Wednesday, ordered an independent investigation into the death of the corps member barely 24 hours after the Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps, Brig-Gen. Suleiman Kazaure, announced that the young lady died of renal sepsis occasioned by urinary tract infection.

Dalung said the President’s order was not an indication that PMB had no confidence in the report by the NYSC.

According to Punch, he said the investigation ordered by the President would only complement the one carried out by the NYSC, since the first investigation did not include autopsy.

The minister said,

“The report given by NYSC is normal and natural, that after investigation they must present their own report on what has happened.

“But in view of the fact that there are many versions of what led to the death of the NYSC member, it would be fair to look at another version of what happened, to be sure of what actually transpired.

“It doesn’t have to do with not trusting the process but to gauge the report alongside other opinion; then we will now be able to tell Nigerians that these are the circumstances surrounding her death.

“Don’t forget that the report of the NYSC had no autopsy; but an independent investigation will require an autopsy.

“The autopsy, alongside the report, will fortify the conclusion the government will make.”

Unsettled Allowances: We Never Knew Falcons Will Win AWCON – Sports Minister, Dalung

falcon1

The Minister of Youths and Sports, Mr. Solomon Dalung, on Thursday said the Federal Government did not expect the Super Falcons would win the just-concluded CAF African Women Cup of Nations in Cameroon, according to the Punch.

He said that was why the government was currently facing difficulties in paying the players’ entitlements. It would be recalled that Mr. Dalung’s utterances have put him on the wrong side with the general public in recent times with massive calls made for his outright sack.

Dalung spoke with State House correspondents at the Presidential Villa, Abuja amidst continued protests by members of the victorious Falcons over their unpaid allowances.

The players had seized the trophy they won at the competition and said they would hold on to the trophy until the authorities concerned offset the N238.05m accumulated bonuses which they are being owed.

They had threatened that if President Muhammadu Buhari refused to address their grievances at the Federal Executive Council’s meeting on Wednesday, they would embark on protest on the streets of Abuja.

But the minister said the situation could have been avoided if the Nigerian Football Federation had envisaged that the team would win and put in place the process of paying their entitlements.

He said, “Don’t forget that nobody even knew the team will emerge victorious.

“If we were confident they will emerge victorious, all the federation would have done is to plan for process of participation and entitlement.

“It is already established in sports tradition, when you win this is what you are entitled to.

“The situation is highly unfortunate and I don’t like it. These girls have given confidence to women who want to embrace sports, so this will go a long way in killing this laudable achievement. It is unfortunate but we will make sure the right thing is done.”

His response is expected to be trailed by a chain of reactions from Nigerians on social media as Mr. Dalung has been deemed one of the worst performing ministers in President Buhari’s cabinet.

Just about a month after a commercial sex worker was rehabilitated by the General Overseer of Omega Power Ministries (OPM), Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere, in Port Harcourt Rivers state got married, another one, Joy Francis, has also gotten married.

comm-sex-worker-marries1

“I got involved in prostitution after the death of my mother in 2012. I am an orphan, my father died in 2007, I came from a polygamous home and could not continue my education after dropping out in my secondary school.

As my last option, I took the choice of engaging in a full time prostitution to help myself. Consequently, I was addmitted into a demonic brothel in Diobu where certain rituals are made through shaving of hair from all the sensitive part of your body to be deposited with the owner of the brothel.

I could not find any pleasure in the business as several ugly incidences kept occurring in the evil brothel. I lamented every day in my life for God to rescue me as I no longer felt comfortable to continue in the act of prostitution but to avail.

At some point, members of Winners Chaple church near water lines junction, will come to the brothel in their buses to convey us to their church but will later returned us to the brothel. I kept wondering why the church could not offer an alternative means for us to quit the illicit trade.

As I was believing God for a savour to meet me was when Daddy OPM visited our brothel with an uncommon style of evergelism urging us not only to quite prostitution but to pack out of the brothel to follow him. He promised to give us house, set up businesses for us, change our lives and also to sponsor the traditional and white wedding of any of us who truly accept Christ and repent from our evil ways, a rare opportunity I have being looking for.

This divine visitation by the OPM evergelism team was made two days after my colleague “Chisom” lost her life in the act, a situation that created so much fear in me to quite the business. Today, those promises were made possible in my life.

I am now wedded to a husband of my choice, the church have graciously provided another accommodation for us, set up business for me and God has change my life for better” Her groom, a six years old furniture maker , who out of life challenges recently spotted OPM through Telecast and became a member, said ” I do not care about what background we may come from, but with the God of OPM, he knew his matrimonial home is solidly build”.

It was all over the news months ago, April, to be precise when singer, Tiwa Savage‘s husband, Tee Billz tried to commit suicide following his marital crisis.

The songstress’s manager had attempted to take his own life by jumping off the Lekki-Ikoyi bridge. Since he has been redeemed, he now has an advise for those who find themselves in his shoes.

According to a post on Instagram which he actually culled from Tyere, he says:

“Black people have been suffering with deep rooted real pride and DHO when it comes to seeking help…… We laugh at people for going to see therapist, we say IF YOU SCARED GO TO CHURCH”… We look down on people who seek help who are suffering from mental health and depression, or drugs and alcoholic abuse or even gambling but the truth is most of us are fucked up and need help for real – Growing up in the hood I witnessed ALL LEVELS of mental, emotional and physiological abuse – I’ve witnessed murders, rapes, drugs drive by shootings and drug and alcohol abuse and physical abuse in my home……. I wrote about this in great detail in my first book…….. it’s hard to be normal when you’re literally on fire in your mind and spirit……. all the money and fame in the world can’t stop you from thinking those thoughts – They call Kanye crazy and a genius in the same breath but in the end he’s a son, a father and a husband rather he’s doing things you agree with or not he’s still a man who needs help just like most of us……. Y’all think talking your momma or cousin and smokin a blunt or popin a molly is enough nope……. I would encourage you to seek help I have been for many years and my life is so amazing because of it /. Growing UP in environments and in homes where you see and are exposed to certain things…. you can easily RELOCATE but the effects are still there and won’t go away until you seek professional help – sending love, prayers and all HEART to everyone who can read this if you’re suffering please I’m begging of you SEEK HELP suicide is real and going crazy is real…… if you don’t get real help……. #VoltronChairman -Tyrese”
