A 40-year-old man from Okpoma village in Yala Local Government Area, Cross River State, Dominic Iyayi Ogar, has thrown his in-laws into mourning following the gruesome murder of his wife and their only daughter.
Ogar is alleged to have committed the dastardly act on October 8, 2016 in Mpape, Abuja. Sunday Sun reporter learnt from the Commissioner of Police, Federal Capital Territory Command, Mr. Mohammed Mustafa, that Ogar, who slept with his wife and their only daughter on the same bed, woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, took a knife and stabbed both of them to death, and they died instantly.
Mustafa said that Ogar then carried the corpses of the dead 27-year-old wife, Omago and the daughter, two-year-old Blessing to a nearby nursery and primary school in the area; he allegedly wrote a small note and dropped it beside the corpses and then ran off to hide in his farm.
His evil deed, however, came to light when one of his neighbours, Destiny Onwusuaka, noticed a trail of blood that led to the door of the family house. In a chat with Sunday Sun reporter, Onwusuaka said: “It was around 7:00am when I discovered stains of blood on the floor and followed the trail to the door of Ogar.
When I looked into the room, I saw a pool of blood but I didn’t see the husband or the victims.
“It was later that I saw the two corpses where the husband dropped them. I shouted and called our neighbours. We then ran to the police to report what we saw. We started searching for the husband. It took four days before we found him and arrested him in his farm on October 11, 2016.
Following the arrest of the suspect, the corpses of the deceased were moved to the mortuary of the National Hospital, Abuja.
At the Criminal Investigation Department of the FCT Police Command, where he spoke with Sunday Sun, Ogar said:
“I don’t have a job, I cannot feed my family, I can only feed myself, and God should forgive me for what I have done.
“I don’t know what came to my mind; it was frustration that led me to stab my wife and only daughter to enable me survive in life.”
As it stands now, Mustafa said that Ogar’s hope of surviving in life now lies at the discretion of the court where he would soon be arraigned to answer charges.

They call American musician DJ Khaled the King of Snapchat for a reason. But his recent post on the social media site has got tongues wagging.
The American musician of Arabic descent shared with his fans on Snapchat a video of his wife Nicole delivering their son while his album was playing in the background.
While this may be surprising to some, it does not come as a surprise to fans of the DJ and occasional rapper. He often shares videos of his daily life on social media but, this may be a tad too much for some.
As expected, some fans have berated the musician for sharing what in their opinion supposed to be a private moment. But others have praised him describing the video as cute and loving.

Now that the coronation of the Oba of Benin has come and gone, Nigerians are still basking in the halo of royalty.
One stand out point of the ceremony was when we saw the wives of the Oba up-close. Who knew Oba Ewuare 11 had such beautiful women?
Well, it is said that kings enjoy the finer things in life. And judging by their wives, these kings sure know how to chop life!
The king of Benin has 3 wives; Queen Iroghama, Queen Iyayiota, and Queen Ikpakpa.

Pastor Tunde Bakare, said the current economic recession was an opportunity for the Church to bail out the country through God-inspired economic principles. Bakare, a Senior Pastor, Latter Rain Assembly, Lagos, stated this on Saturday in Abuja.
He spoke on the theme: “ The Church and Economic Recession , “ at the 14th anniversary celebration of Foursquare Gospel Church.
He said that the church had the ability to bail out nations, influence public policy through God-inspired economic principles and strategically position human resources to implement its principles.
Bakare, however, said that the church was yet to rise to the height mandated to it by destiny to bail out nations and to lead them to God’s will.
“ I am convinced that the recession currently being experienced in Nigeria is an opportunity for the Church.
“Therefore, I declare to you that the Scripture is about to be fulfilled in your hearing as God is stirring up the church to take responsibility for the destiny of Nigeria.
“ That is why we are gathered here today to talk about the church and economic recession.
“ If the church is also reeling from the impact of the recession, we must admit to ourselves that this is against the Scriptural pattern.
“ It is the best of times to take the tenets of the faith beyond the four walls of the church building to the marketplace and the policy roundtable, “ Bakare said.
He said that the nation’s economic recession was largely self-inflicted which could have been avoided, saying “unfortunately for Nigeria, our biggest boom experience fell into the hands of an unprepared leadership.“

The Ogun State Police Command has arrested a suspected kidnapper, Odele Tosin, for allegedly masterminding the kidnap of a 12-year-old girl, Eniola Oyekanmi, in the Ketu area of Lagos.
The victim was said to have been kidnapped on Friday by the gang at the Orimerunmu area of Ketu.
Policemen from Mowe Division of the command reportedly rescued Oyekanmi around 1am on Saturday in a hotel at Mowe, Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of the state.
The victim was taken to the hotel, while the gang demanded a ransom.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, told Sunday Punch that the victim was kidnapped by the gang while she was running an errand for her parents.
He said, “She was taken to a hotel in Mowe where the kidnappers kept her and started demanding a ransom. They ran out of luck when the anti-robbery team from Mowe Division, led by the Divisional Police Officer, Francis Ebohuwa, got a tip-off and stormed the hotel. One of the suspects was arrested while others escaped. The victim was rescued unhurt.”
Oyeyemi said the state Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Iliyasu, had ordered a manhunt for the members of the gang who escaped.
He said Iliyasu had also directed that the suspect be transferred to the Anti-kidnapping Unit of the command headquarters at Eleweran, Abeokuta, for further investigation.
Celebrated actor, director, producer and film-maker, Zack Orji, talks about his experiences as a father with GBENGA ADENIJI of Punch.
How would you describe fatherhood?
I would describe fatherhood as being a father in all expectations of the word; being a father to one’s children not only by words but also by deeds.
I have discovered over the years that action speaks louder than words. Most of the things I have done over the years were things I learnt as a child. Things that I watched my father do; not as much as the things he said but the things I saw him do. I discovered too that parents must be careful in training their children not only by what they tell them to do but the actions they take in the presence of their children. This made me to realise that fatherhood is not an easy thing because one cannot be on one’s guard always. One cannot change who one is in one’s home. If one is a general in the army, one cannot be a general to one’s children at home. One must be a father to them.
What year did you become a father?
I became a father two years after marriage in 1991.
What can you say have been your challenges as a father?
One of my biggest challenges as a father is spending enough and quality time with my children. Owing to the nature of my work, I travel a lot within and outside the country. I go out to work and also socialise with other people. Some of these times, I wished I were with my family. I have discovered that I cannot be with them most of time I wished to be with them because of the exigencies of my work.
Were you in the hospital with your wife when she was delivered of her first child?
By the grace of God, I was with her at the time until the doctor told me to go home to get some of the things the baby would need. It was about 30 minutes after I left the hospital that she put to bed. I was in the hospital with her during the birth of my two other children who are girls. But I did not witness the birth of our first child who is a boy as I had to go home to prepare things for the baby as instructed.
Do you wish to correct anything as a father?
There is nothing I would wish to correct as a father. Many fathers do not have enough time for their children due to what I call an irony of life. They spend their lives working hard to make money to cater for their children. Their jobs thus take them away from their children and families. So, whatever time one has, one should spend it well with them.
Did you nurse any fears prior to your becoming a father?
No, I did not. I was brought up to always take things in my stride. Whatever comes, I believe that I have enough grace from God to take care of it. Fear is part of the human nature but one learns to overcome it by trusting God. He gives one the grace to overcome it.
Apart from providing for your children, what other way have you been able to discharge your fatherly role to them?
I believe I am a good example to them. They are free with me. We discuss and talk as friends. I always tell them to tell me anything and not be afraid. This has made them feel relaxed to tell me anything. Anytime I am not around and they need anything, they do not hesitate to call me.
Are you saying the Zack Orji who cuts the picture of a disciplinarian in movies is different from Zack Orji the father?
Yes, I am a disciplinarian. I am free with my children at home, but they know that it does not give them the freedom to do whatever they like. We are good friends. But they are also careful not to cross the line. I have never raised a hand to any of them.
How do you discipline them whenever they act up?
I speak to them. I have never found the need to use the rod on any of my children. I count myself very blessed because I have children who respect and love me. They listen to me whenever I talk to them. Even my son, Lionel, when he was studying abroad would call to tell me if he got an invitation to any event. I would only tell him to attend it but to be careful.
Your son is into music. Would it be right to say his interest in the entertainment industry was influenced by you since it is also your industry?
Possibly, but then a lion can only beget a lion. When he completed secondary education, I asked him what he wanted to do and he said ‘media.’ Eventually, he studied Media with Television at the University of Bradford, United Kingdom. He should be going for a master’s degree programme soon.
What legacy do you wish to leave for your children and the society?
I do not know about legacy. But I know that my life, work and lifestyle have influenced many people. I believe that is the essence of living. God created us to impact positively on others; to empower others and make them realise their dreams. Anybody who lived in a way that his or her life did not impact positively on others either knowingly or unknowingly lived a wasted life.
How often do your children watch the movies you feature in?
They watch the movies I feature in sometimes. They have not watched all my movies though. My children are my number one fans.
What values did you learn from your father which you are passing on to your children?
My father died in 1983. I was in final year in the university at the time. I got my diction and orientation from my father. He was more handsome than I am. He worked with John Holt as a clerk. He was careful about his speech. Most times, he would pronounce some big words and ask us to search for their meanings in the dictionary. My father was also fashionable in the way he dressed. He would dress and ask us to appraise his dressing. If we dressed in a way he did not like, he would look at the person and say, ‘You dressed like a bush man.’ My father was also a staunch Christian. I have recollections of how he would wake up at night and say warfare prayers. He was also fair-minded and a strict disciplinarian. He also spoke to us using popular sayings such as ‘punctuality is the soul of business.’ All these I imbibed from my father.
Did you assist your wife to do domestic chores before your children became adults?
I did domestic chores and I still do. In fact, my son slept on my chest the day they returned from the hospital. For me, a man should be willing to do housework because it is his house.
I wash the dishes sometimes. It is not about showing love for one’s wife or one’s family. I just believe that since it is my house, it is something I should do. Also, when the children see such a thing, they will endeavour to emulate it. It will become a habit. Sometimes, whenever my children are reading, I will pack my plates myself to the kitchen after eating rather than disturb their reading. We have no house maids. My children sweep, cook and do other house chores. There are no cut-out roles for my wife or anybody in my house. There is no rule that says my wife must cook or do other things. I wash the toilet sometimes since everything one needs to clean the toilet is there.
What biggest gift have you given your children?
I set target for them that if they pass an examination for example, I will give the person a certain amount. It is a way of encouraging them to remain focused. I must tell you that it has been productive.
Did you have preference for a particular gender before the arrival of your first child?
No, I did not. Let me tell you this. About six months before my wife gave birth, the scan showed that it was a girl. So, we bought baby things for a female child. When I brought the baby things to the hospital, I was congratulated by the nurses. I later learnt that my wife was delivered of a baby boy. The baby had to put on girl’s clothes for the first day.
You do not seem to participate more in local movies nowadays. What have you been doing?
I have been around; participating in productions both home and abroad. I have a production next month in the US. I have been coping as a father, actor and husband. I also appreciate my wife who has been so supportive of my work. My wife’s name is Ngozi. She is an actor, costume designer and a gospel artiste.
How do you cope with female fans?
Being a celebrity does not give one a licence to misbehave. I try to be friends with everyone even when it is not convenient for me. But because of the nature of my work, one can also say I am a public property. I bend over backwards sometimes to be nice to people. The smile one puts on the face of someone might be what the person needs to brighten up for the day. If one denies the person such, he or she may develop resentment which may last for a long time.
What major advice did you give your children about life?
I did not give them a particular advice but I serve as a good example to them by my deeds. I make them copy good habits and exhibit same. I believe that by the grace of God, they will impact positively on their generation.
Furniture maker, Olabisi Ola, in this interview with Spice, talks about her foray into carpentry, enjoy!
What are your qualifications?
I have a bachelor’s degree in Industrial and Labour Relations, from the Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ogun State, and a diploma in Local Government Studies from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife. I also have a certificate in interior design from the Maven School of Interior Design.
What is your work history?
I worked with Citygate Global now Empire Trust Microfinance, as a customer relationship manager and I resigned in May 2014. Prior to that time, I interned with the Interior Designers Association of Nigeria for three months and I was a part of the team that organised the industry’s first interior design exhibition in Nigeria.
I also worked with Skye Bank PLC, as a teller and customer service officer.
Why did you quit your job to become a carpenter?
The desire for the highest fulfillment of self. Sometime in March 2014, I became less interested in my eight to six job. I looked into the future and what I saw scared me. I saw myself getting married, having children, growing old and dying without any fulfillment.
I became dissatisfied and restless. There was a void I knew my current job at the time, couldn’t fill; I had this intense craving for something tangible. So I resigned even though I had not set any money aside and had no clear definition of what I wanted to do next.
I went for my interior design business and decided to focus on that. I did that for a year but the peace I wanted still eluded me.
I knew that wasn’t the path to follow. During one of my quiet times, the thought to narrow my business down to furniture came to me and I did just that. That was how my furniture making journey started in July, 2015.
I sourced for carpenters, created a product collection, and opened a store on Konga – “Timberworks.” As I progressed, I saw the need to reduce production cost. Thus, I made the decision to buy materials myself and just pay the workers for labour. This decision exposed me to the practical details of the business and also made visible the possibilities that abound in what looked impossible.
Did you train on the job?
Yes. I trained on the job by getting free resources online and watching videos online on furniture making. And as it is with people in the arts and craft industry, the demand on your skill is ever evolving.
This makes the learning process infinite. So with each piece I make, I learn something new and keep getting better.
When and how did you decide to become a carpenter?
I decided in February 2015. I asked one of the people working with me to assist with putting together a TV console.
I had purchased all the needed materials; he only had to couple them. I watched him while he worked and the thought that I could do this came out of nowhere (I believe God spoke to me).
I sustained the thought and saw the possibility of me doing it. So I asked if he would train me and he said no.
He said,
“Madam, you can’t understand this work.It’s more complicated than it looks and it’s not a woman’s job.”
But the thought of learning carpentry stayed with me afterwards and I spoke to a friend who promised to help me make enquiries.
She came back to tell me that I would have to train for three years and serve for another year if I wanted to train in a carpentry workshop.
That discouraged me and I laid the idea to rest.
But in June, I found myself in a very dark place and nothing seemed to be working. I was down financially, emotionally and spiritually. A lot was just going on at the time and it was too much to bear.
In the midst of all the chaos, just like a light bulb, the thought about my carpentry training flashed and considering that I had been asking God for clarity, I knew that was the answer I had been yearning for. I had no option than to go after it with a renewed determination.
I didn’t bother looking for someone to train me anymore; I went online to download free ebooks on furniture making and committed myself to watching furniture making videos on Youtube.
I knew I didn’t have the money for big machines or a workshop, so I had to make do with what I had which was N21,000. I bought the essential tools needed and started training myself.
Did your friends and family frown on the choice you made?
My parents weren’t too keen on the idea initially; considering it is the dream of most Nigerian parents to have their children work in a corporate environment. But seeing how convinced I was, they had no other option than to support me. My friends are one of the greatest gifts God has blessed me with.These are people who have taken my dream upon themselves as though it’s theirs. Their shoulders are readily available to lean on. Theygo the extra mile for me just as I would for them.I am indeed blessed to call them friends.
What was your first carpentry experience like?
Frightening, interesting, disorienting and enlightening. My first experience was all of these and more. I hadn’t done such before, so there were a lot of mistakes, confusion and fear. I would be in the sun for hours working and sometimes not even make much headway. At some point, I was so overwhelmed and I thought to quit but the desire and hunger for success soon drowned all of my fears.
How do you source for clients?
Through word of mouth and social media. Konga (online mall) has been good to me as well.
How profitable is the carpentry business in Nigeria?
There is the need for furniture in every home, so it is considered a major purchase for most people. This leads to high turnover but not necessarily profit.
When the cost of doing business is factored into turnover, the profit margin can be low but if the business is scaled and structured properly, it is possible to record high profit. So the furniture business being profitable in Nigeria is relative.
What challenges do you currently encounter in your business and how are you coping with them?
I am constrained by the non-availability of space and lack of funds to buy machines for easy and fast production of items.
As a result of this, I don’t take in more than my current space can accommodate and I fulfill my technical needs at the plank market in Mushin for a fee. This is however usually stressful and time consuming.
When did the business first experience its major breakthrough?
I have experienced some great wins. I remember one sunny afternoon in August when I made my very first perfect piece which was a side table. I had been training for over a month and the progress seemed slow (looking back it wasn’t). I was already frustrated and was reaching my tipping point.
But on this day, I had marked my drilling points and was a bit nervous to drill in the screws, I eventually did and was surprised when the first screw held tight. Then I proceeded to finish the work I had started and was very surprised that the table did not wobble. A satisfaction that had so long escaped me saturated the experience.
That was and still is a proof that consistency is the key to achieving anything. And this is why I am so excited about this and the days ahead -with each piece I have created from then on, I am certain that if I keep at it- and I have no doubt I will- My big breakthrough is as sure as dawn.
What motivates you on the job?
My motivation comes from within. I am motivated by the fact that I am doing what I enjoy. I derive pleasure in joining boards and creating furniture pieces. The feeling that comes from finishing each piece is one I have never felt before.
To look upon something built to last, to know it exists because you put in the effort is a powerful motivation and addiction.
The sheer joy and happiness I see on the faces of those I have worked for motivates me to keep going and getting better. Knowing that I have the ability to create things that didn’t exist before I touched them is just beyond fulfilling.
Knowing that I just have to wake up, fulfill someone’s need and put a smile on their face by doing what I enjoy. I give them their item(s), I get paid for it, everyone is happy.
Do you feel intimidated by your male counterparts?
I don’t feel intimidated. I do what I do and I do it well. I hone my skills daily and keep looking for ways to be better at it, so all I feel is pride, joy and happiness. No intimidation.
Have you ever been looked down upon as a female carpenter?
I get questioned a lot by male carpenters at the plank market and they mostly suggest I look for a man to work for me as this is not a profession for women. But I won’t call that being looked down upon, I see it as their way of dealing with the ceiling that has been crashed.
If you weren’t a carpenter, what other profession would you have considered and why?
Maybe a chef. I love creating stuff and I like food.
How do you unwind?
Watching movies, listening to music and dancing.
What advice do you have for females who intend to go into carpentry?
For females who genuinely seek to follow this path, I’d say the time to make that move is now. If you do this, become the absolute best you can.
It’s a field where there is positive correlation between effort and reward – the more you take on, the more you make. Know that nothing is impossible and nothing is out of reach.
Whatever idea your mind can conceive, you have the ability to make it happen so far you’re willing to put in the work. It is my sincere wish that you fulfill the highest expression of yourself.
In August 2013, Delectable Nollywood actress, Chika Ike finalized her divorce with her estranged husband, Tony Eberiri over alleged grounds of infidelity, domestic violence and more.
The movie star is excited to have found love again and she tells Kemi Filani Blog all about it and more in this exclusive interview…Enjoy!
Is Chika Ike a fulfilled woman yet?
Honestly, not yet. There are certain things I haven’t achieved. Everyday I wake up, I want to get to the zenith of my career, but all takes one step at a time. I’m still hoping to achieve more which would eventually make me a fulfilled woman.
We know you have finished the season 2 of your TV Reality show, African Diva, which just started airing, is there another pet projects you are working on?
Of course Yes! I have my movie project coming up next year. We are still working on it. But for now we are focused on African Diva.
What’s new about the African Diva reality show season 2?
We had 3 girls each from four African countries and the rest from Nigeria. The season 2 was thought through. It has better picture quality,the girls more organized, the task more interesting, the house more structured. Lots to learn about from this season 2.
You have been in Nollywood for a long time, how do you re-invent yourself to be always relevant?
Life is all about growth. The day you stopped growing, you start dying. The ability of not been satisfied, the thought of failure, scares me. It makes me to want to do for myself everyday.
How has life been generally for you as a Nigerian actress?
I started acting since 2005. I knew there was a world I could conquer back then beyond my father’s bakery wall at Ikotun- Egbe area of Lagos State.
It has been 11 years has been very rewarding.
But for a while now, your face has been scarce in movies, have you shunned acting on other people’s jobs?
Well, my latest movie is still in the cinema; Miss Teacher. I released it last year for the cinemas.
Adding to that, I have been busy with my pet projects and doing a lot of traveling too. But I have done about 4 movies this year, 2016 for Iroko TV.
What’s the striking thing you want to be remembered for in Nollywood, just like AY the comedian who has broken bonds and also made it to the Guinness book of World’s records?
Firstly, I tap into AY’s blessing, (laughs). Honestly, I want to get to higher places in life, but we all know that no matter how far and wide you project, you can only get there by the grace of God.
From my recent experiences, I know it’s all about God and his plans for me. I know he would crown my efforts and hard work with great success.
Would ever go under the knife to correct or enhance any part of your body?
No! I won’t. I’m comfortable in my skin and looks but that doesn’t mean I am against those that did or want to go through plastic surgeries.
I’m beautifully made by God, so there’s no need to go under the knife to tamper with any part of my body.
After what you went through in your first marriage, do you still want to give love and marriage a second chance?
Marriage is a beautiful institution. I will never talk down on marriage because it’s something I still look forward to. It’s what every average woman hopes for. But the thing is, right now, i’m focused on my career.
But do you have a special someone in your life?
Yes I do (blushes..). I have a very special person in my life right now.
Is he from the movie industry?
Well, that’s all I can say about my relationship; I have a special someone. His profile doesn’t matter to you right now.
On social media, especially Instagram, how do you react to critics that trail your posts?
Some years back, it bothered me a lot. But right now, I have learnt to develop thick skin for such negative comments and critics. I don’t waste my time responding to them. I just sieve; the good, bad and ugly ones.
I take note of the good ones, do what I need to do with them and discard the rest.
Your mum was a pastor before she passed on some months ago, how did she influence your life?
My mum was a very strong woman. There’s something she always says, don’t let anyone intimidate you; be confident. So, she’s the kind of mum that won’t you fail. She preached the gospel all over the world; American, London, everywhere. She was like a role model to me. She shaped me into the woman I am today.
How is this present bad economy tagged ‘recession affecting you?
To be honest, it’s affecting everyone. Businesses are folding up everyday. We just have to go through all these for a reason. Americans too went through recession. But it’s the ability to survive after the recession that matter.
I have strategy; I tell myself that I must survive till the recession ends. I just have to look for ways to survive.
Was that why you went into Real Estate business?
Well, i’m a business woman as whole. I love doing business and I like generating funds for myself, so I can give out. I like to help people a lot. That’s my basic thing.
I do acting, I have a beauty store, and ventured into Real Estate, 5 years ago.
The Real Estate business is on the down low because of the recession.
Nollywood actress, Hilda Dokubo was in Lagos recently where she ministered as a Pastor at the Fresh Oil International Church. During her sermon, she revealed some part of her past that may be unknown to many.
While speaking, she said,
“I was born with a silver spoon, but death turned me poverty-stricken after my father died when I was just nine. I turned away from God at that point, because I felt disappointed that despite how much my father loved and served God, he still died.”…
She continued,
“After my dad died, my mother completely lost her mind. If she were living in the US, I’m sure she would have been diagnosed as a mental case. You know, in Nigeria, we don’t consider people mad until they have started eating from dustbins. I rebelled against God at that point, and I stopped going to church at the age of nine.
“However, I was a very brilliant girl, and I got admission into the university at the age of 16. I became rascally and did what girls like that do. I slept with a man, and I became pregnant. It wasn’t the Holy-Spirit that impregnated me.
My mom was devastated and disappointed in me because of that. I was also angry with her because ‘her God’ killed my father, and we stopped speaking to each other.
One day, a man came to me and said he needed a barge. I didn’t know what it was, and he told me it was used to store oil.
I then recalled that I had once seen a barge in the compound opposite ours. I went to the neighbour and told him I needed the barge. He asked me what I needed it for, but I told him not to worry.
I told them to put the barge in front of my mother’s house. At that point, the man who told me he needed the barge came back, and dropped sacks of money containing N2m with my mom because I was in school at that time.
Two weeks later, he returned with N500,000, and I was dumbfounded. Before then, I had never seen N100,000 together, but there I was as a millionaire at 17, not knowing what to do with the money.
I would have become a prostitute, but I became restless and challenged destiny. Your life cannot change for the better if you don’t challenge destiny. Even God challenged destiny.”

Arguably, the breast seems to be one part of a woman’s body that means different things to different people, and that could be the reason why women pay so much attention to it.
Beyond the fact that it is the source of food for a newborn baby, men see it as more of sex organ that makes sex more pleasurable, and for women, apart from its being important for breastfeeding after childbirth and being a body part that enhances their outlook, it is one of the routes to sexual satisfaction, as findings have shown that fondling the breasts is one of the quickest ways for women to reach orgasm.
Such is the importance of the breast, or boob as some prefer to call it, to all concerned.
Meanwhile, it has also been found that the firmness or otherwise of those two soft, protruding organs influence women’s self esteem, and they also impact on how attractive they are to men.
For most men, the bigger the better, and the more firm the breasts are the better, which make women to do all they can to make the breasts look firm, including using all kinds of bras.
It should be noted that the breasts tend to sag with age and after childbirth and or breastfeeding. But be that as it may, there are some human activities that could increase the likelihood of sagging.
So, given the much importance men and women attach to the firmness of a woman’s breasts, it seems helpful for women to know how best the breasts should be treated to avoid sagging (quickly).
1. Mismanaged breastfeeding: It is largely assumed that a woman’s breasts tend to sag after pregnancy and breastfeeding, and this is entirely understandable because of the release of some hormones and the secretion of milk which could increase the size of the breasts.
In fact, some people assume that with the way the baby draws the nipples in the process of suckling the mother’s breasts, the breasts would lose firmness and end up being droopy afterwards.
But those assumptions may not be true. According to a gynaecologist, Dr. Bolanle Shukra-Okesina, women can retain the firmness of their breasts even after breastfeeding, depending on how the woman manages the breasts during and after the period.
She said, “Breastfeeding per se does not make the breasts to sag. If the woman uses the appropriate bra size and she takes enough of fluid, especially water, when breastfeeding, the breasts will not sag, even after breastfeeding. Also, during pregnancy, the woman is expected to change the size of her bra as the breasts increase in size. She is supposed to use the appropriate size at every stage because the breasts need to be supported by a firm bra.
“When the milk stops after breastfeeding, the breasts would on their own go back to their normal size. So, if the woman does the right thing, the breasts have no reason to sag.

An 12-year-old boy will marry his cousin, 11, after the groom-to-be’s father gave the couple’s engagement his blessing, Mailonline reports.
While family and friends celebrated Nasser Hassan’s eldest son’s lavish wedding, the father decided to ‘double the joy’ in Egypt by announcing the engagement. Egyptian law prohibits marriages for anyone under 18 and the decision for Omar, 12, and Gharam, 11, to marry has sparked outrage among activists.
The father told Egypt’s Al Watan newspaper there was ‘nothing inappropriate’ about the couple, adding that it was only ‘an engagement, not a marriage’. The wedding of the older brother was held 75 miles north of Cairo, and when the announcement was made, guests didn’t bat an eyelid, according to the Washington Post.
But photos of the young couple were published in local media which were met with anger. Reda Eldanbouki, the head of the Women’s Center for Legal Aid and Counseling, reported the incident to government agency the National Center for Childhood and Motherhood.
He also filed a complaint with the attorney general to investigate the incident and hold the parents accountable for this ‘crime,’ he said, adding: ‘will only lead to an early marriage in which the girl will be deprived of equal chances to education, growth, and will isolate her from social spheres.’ .
Omar’s father brushed off any criticism, and said he ‘is a free man and did nothing wrong’. He said: “Omar has always loved Gharam so much that he used to say he will marry her when they grow up before any other man asks for her hand in marriage when she is older.
They will get married when they reach the legal age.” He said both children acted ‘beyond their years’ and had ‘strong feelings for each other’ through Facebook and other social media and ‘wanted to get engaged’.

Chibueze Oprah Chiamaka, a friend of Miss Anambra, Chidinma Okeke whose viral lesbian act video flooded social media came out to defend and support the under fire beauty queen on her Facebook Wall.
“Before you share that video, before you pass that gist around,I think you should consider this;
It is true, that you may not know her personally, but remember she is someone’s daughter, someone’s sister, someone’s favorite neice, someone’s grand daughter, she is human, and you are human. And we all as human beings are gifted with a conscience.
Jesus said to his disciples: “Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come.” {Luke 17 vs 1}
For some others you may say “Finally she has fallen, finally this evil has befallen her, what is my concern?” Shakespeare wrote “the evil that men do lives after them”, sadly for some,it catches up with them in their lifetime.
Every human life has value, her life nonetheless has value.If you are and were not responsible for creating her,if indeed you don’t know what it is to create a human life,then don’t write her off just yet.
She can still rise from this a better person, we already have issues in this country, we already have issues In the world at large, such as global warming, terrorism, poverty, etc
I don’t see how her case can help solve this problems, so I choose to stand by her.
I would not justify her actions but I would rather not pass a death sentence on her.I will rather stand by her, even though I’ve met her before. I choose to express faith in her,not in who she is or was,but in who she can be!
Finally,this should serve as a lesson to us all, to never allow our circumstances dictate our actions, never allow the pressures of the present deviate your vision and cause you to forget who you are.she’s a homily girl…I’ve been with her so many tyms…dont think she can do it… #Istandwithher#

A thief barely survived after he tried to steal transformer cables at the State School of Nursing, Maiduguri, Borno State.
The unidentified man was electrocuted but he survived. The incident took place in the early hours of Saturday. The thief was left badly burnt and has been taken to the hospital.
Victoria Hallan, an indigene of Toro LGA of Bauchi State, died, alongside her mom, Naomi, 50, in an auto accident on Wednesday October 12, 2016, just days to her wedding.
They were traveling from Jalingo, Taraba State to Bauchi to put finishing touches to her wedding preparations.
Victoria, was a National Diploma graduate in Science Laboratory Technology from the Federal Polytechnic Bauchi.
She graduated in 2015 after which she and her fiancé, Aminchi David, 34, agreed to tie the knot on Saturday October 15, 2016, after four years of courtship.
Victoria and her mother were, however, buried on Saturday October 15, 2016 at the Christian Cemetery in Kagadam, Bauchi.
Singer Oritsefemi who has two teen daughters has publicly warned men to stay off them, especially the first one saying she might be big, but she is still a teen.
A lot of people termed him over protective saying won’t she get married one day, but the singer in a new chat with Saturday Beats says there is time for everything and right now it’s the time for her to grow. While affirming his online threat, Femi said;
“I was very serious about warning men against my daughter. Every parent wants their kids to get to a certain level in life before they begin to think about relationship and mine is not different. That was why I posted the message on my Instagram page. I have already spoken to my daughter, so I decided to talk to the general public and plead with them to allow her grow older before they begin to chase her. It may sound like a joke but I was seriously passing a message across. It does not mean she would not have a boyfriend or get married someday.”
He also spoke about hos closeness to his daughter saying they speak has friend;
“I relate with my daughters as if I am their friend instead of their father. They talk to me like their friend. If I do not make myself available to them as their friend, they might be keeping things from me. I don’t need to tell them I am their father because they know already,” Oritsefemi said.
It will be recalled that he had the two girls from two girlfriends back then during his youthful days in Ajegunle.
There was a time when the red-light districts of Lagos like Allen Avenue, Opebi, Ojuelegba and CMS, among others, bustled with human traffic of customers and s*x traders who paraded their ‘flesh wares’ under the glare of traffic lights in the night.
Those days, when young women in various stages of undress walked up to any vehicle that pulled over beside them and made seductive gestures to male occupants in a relaxed manner, seem to have passed.
Now, as Saturday PUNCH investigation revealed, a new desperation has descended on the sex traders of Lagos, one with a hungry intent to make quick cash, any amount of cash even, just to survive the hard times, as fewer customers visit the sex hubs.
There is no doubt that the economic crunch in the country has made these young women hungrier. As companies are developing strategies to survive hard times, Lagos prostitutes have re-strategised their operations in order to cope.
In one of the “fact-finding missions” of our correspondents to Allen Avenue, Tania, a young woman, whose youthful but heavily made up face suggested she could be between the ages of 22 and 26, told one of our correspondents, who posed as a prospective customer, that she would prefer an overnight service.
Asked why, as all her negotiations tended towards the fact that she did not like the popular “short-time”, favoured by men who simply want to “get in and get out”, Tania explained the economic sense in her strategy.
“I won’t have to pay for the daily room charge to Sisi Mi (apparently, the sobriquet of her madam). Even if I do short-time and I don’t use the room, we do it beside a wall or on the boot of your car, so far as I go back to the room this night, I will still have to pay,” she said.
Before the dark cloud of economic crisis descended on the sex trade in Lagos, sex workers in the city charged between N10,000 and N20,000 for an overnight service depending on a customer’s bargaining power.
Tania readily agreed to N5,000 but she added the caveat that our correspondent must buy her a plate of food on the way home.
Despite efforts by Tania to mask the desperation showing in her voice, it was clear the young lady did not want to get through the night with an empty pocket in a season when customers are not forthcoming.
Our correspondents learnt that in the days of plenty customers, Lagos sex workers hardly showed patience with any customer, whom they suspected did not have any interest in obtaining their service.
Commercial sex workers are aware that many young men simply derive satisfaction from engaging them, discussing prices, telling them to show enticing body parts, only to walk away from the bargain. These are fools prostitutes do not suffer gladly.
But that night, Tania was unusually patient, another evidence of the desperation in the trade.
When our correspondent later discharged her with an excuse that instantly brought an expression of disappointment on her face, she turned back a moment later as she made to walk away.
One might have concluded that she wanted to say something to make her bargain more enticing.
But she simply brought out her phone.
“Can you give me your number? I will give you mine too,” Tania said.
The inquiring eyebrow she saw made her explain further.
“If you know anyone who needs a cleaner or housemaid, please let me know. I am good at such jobs. I am only doing this to survive,” she said.
It was a frank explanation, one that laid bare the underlying financial struggle that sometimes pushes many of the young women into the sex trade.
At Allen Roundabout, one of our correspondents was relaxed with a bottle of drink at Pekas, a popular bar known to host many ladies of the night.
It was instantly noticed that the spot, which used to be thronged by numerous sex traders, was no longer what it used to be in terms of human traffic.
A light-skinned young lady, who seemed to be in her 20s, strolled by immediately and introduced herself as Ruth, desperate to strike up a conversation with the man sitting all alone.
In the middle of the conversation, she pointed out that it was quite impolite of the gentleman not to offer her a drink.
She then took it upon herself to call one of the waiters who evidently knew her and ordered a bottle of beer.
During the conversation, she could not help complaining about how unprofitable the trade had become as she tried to explain why so many of her colleagues who used to parade the streets were not available.
She simply could not hide the fact that she was desperate to spend the night with our correspondent.
“How much this job dey pay?” “You know the risk involved in this job?” switching to fluent English she continued, “Most of us on the streets are not happy to be here. If you are lucky, you meet a decent man and he takes you off the street. Girls are becoming fewer here because they are looking for greener pastures,” she said.
The lady, who later identified herself as Ruth, further shared a story of her colleague who had become a business owner courtesy of a man whom she serviced regularly.
“Sade is lucky,” Ruth said, as she made a sympathetic gesture to another young lady on the side of the road, who had just been rebuffed by a motorist passing by.
She said, “Like play, like play, Sade don leave us waka. I was there when a young man she called Richie first came to pick her. Later, he began visiting monthly. To cut the long story short, the bobo began to tell Sade he liked her because she is really beautiful.
“She told him that she would love to stop this job and he helped her out. As we speak, Sade is a shop owner somewhere in Ogba, Lagos, and she sells wine and other drinks.”
When Ruth noticed that the correspondent was not willing to play ball, she rounded off the conversation with a prayer.
“I pray that the Lord that took Sade out of the street would also favour me,” she said.
When asked how much would be needed to take her off the street, her eyes suddenly lit up and she said, “Bros, If I see a job that pays N45,000, I’ll stop this hustle.”
But it turned out that like others met earlier, many if the ladies shared the same feeling.
At a brothel situated at the top floor of a three-storey building around the Ojuelegba Bus Stop, at least 15 sex workers mill around the place per night.
It was learnt that the preference of these young ladies was “short-time” for which they charge between N1,000 and N1,500.
When one of our correspondents paid a visit, the ladies swarmed the prospective customer like a swarm of bees as usual, showering him with compliments.
Sitting in the bar of the brothel, a young woman, who had been making seductive moves almost broke into a run just to come over when she was beckoned on.
The ensuing conversation revealed her trade name to be Gift and she further explained that she lived in Ikeja and came to the brothel daily. How true this was could not be ascertained.
Gift initially said she charged N1,500 for a “short-time but when one of our correspondents told her that he had only N500, she pleaded that he should make it N700.
Gift obliged to have some drinks and once she started drinking, she sang like a minstrel.
Gift said that “market” was very poor at the moment and all the girls were feeling it. Like most of her colleagues, her reason for getting into the trade was financial desperation.
“If I get a good job like this ehn? I don commot be that,” she said in pidgin English.
According to Gift, she is a secondary school dropout and this has been affecting her chances of getting the kind of jobs that are good enough to take her out of the sex trade.
She told Saturday PUNCH that before she became a commercial sex worker, she worked in a factory that paid her a salary that could barely feed her, even though she was used like a slave.
She said to make matter worse, the expatriates who ran the factory made life unbearable and whenever she complained to her friends, she was always advised to quit her job and join them on the street.
So, after working in the factory for about two years as a contract employee without any savings, she threw in the towel and joined her friends.
Gift said, “I have been in this job for about three years now. I am not ashamed because I need to survive. But every day, I pray to God for any helper because I know I cannot get a good job with my qualification but with the right connection, anything can happen.
“I don’t mind being a receptionist because I am pretty and I speak well but God has not given me that opportunity.”
When asked if she was the only one who had the desire to quit the profession, she simply said, “Ask any of the girls here, almost everyone would tell you they want a decent job. I don’t know anybody who wants to do this till she dies,” she said.
But when a s*x worker whom our correspondents met at Empire Street, Ojuelegba, Surulere, another hub for the sex trade in Lagos, voiced her opinion about why customers were scarce, her explanation was even more serious.
S*x workers certainly know how to choose simple trade names that customers might find pleasing to the ear.
For this s*x worker, a dark complexioned lady with tired eyes and lips that sent out a plume of cigarette smoke each time she talked, the name of choice was Rose.
Sex workers like Rose would readily engage any young man in a conversation as long as they believe that the end result would be that their services would be sought.
“When money no dey, how prick wan stand?” she said in pidgin English, in response to an earlier question that it seemed she and her colleagues were no longer getting customers like before.
Her explanation that when there is no money, men are not likely to think of sex, may sound simple and funny but has an underlying truth.
In fact, experts suggest that financial trouble that brings stress is one of the psychological causes of lack of erection or erectile dysfunction.
“The brain plays a key role in triggering the series of physical events that cause an erection. A number of things can interfere with sexual feelings and cause or worsen erectile dysfunction like depression, anxiety and stress,” doctors and researchers at global health care organisation, Mayo Clinic, said.
Apart from this, it is unlikely that a man who has no money to eat would have any to purchase sex.
To find out why Rose already looked tired that night, one of our correspondents asked her how many customers she had already attended to in order to get a sense of how often customers still seek her services.
“Two” she held up two fingers. The time was almost midnight. Suspicion crept over her face a moment later and she said, “Why you dey ask?”
It seemed her tired face might be from parading the streets endlessly without finding many customers after all.
But she did agree to a “short-time” (one round) of N500.
“You sef know say that price too small. Market no dey at all, now you dey get am almost free, you still dey consider am? Rose said, when she sensed some hesitation.
Even though there was no doubt that Rose’s colleagues would have taken the same price slash, she bluffed and pointed to her friends.
“See those girls, even though nothing dey their body like my own, dem go vex if dem hear say I dey call this kain price for you. Dem go say I dey spoil market for them, But me I just dey consider una,” she added.
One of our correspondents decided to take the conversation further and asked why she did not quit altogether if the trade had become that unprofitable.
To this, Rose shook her head as if disbelieving the ignorance behind such a question.
She explained that since the time she started the trade, no time had been this worse.
According to her, she had done all she could to find a job but had got nothing.
“As you see me, I finished secondary school. What do you do? Maybe you can help me find work?” she switched from pidgin to proper English in an effort to support her level of education.
Asked what she could do, Rose explained that she could work in a business centre and operate a computer. She added that when she finished secondary school and there was no way for her to proceed for higher learning, she learnt how to make beads in Umuahia.
It was also gathered that business is dull at a popular brothel called Jolly Friends, in Ikeja too. The ladies in this establishment looked older compared to the various establishments visited by our correspondents.
They seemed to be in their late 20s and early 30s and unlike the other brothels visited, these ladies seemed to be out for business strictly and no time for talking.
The two ladies that spoke to our correspondents only divulged scanty information after they felt the way their wares were bargained was ridiculous. They did not bother to give their names because they had seemingly detected that the young men in front of them were not interested in entering “the other room” with them.
One said, “See the way you dey price us. You think say na like that dem dey talk. If no be say things hard, I suppose don leave you enter room. How you go dey price me for N500? Wetin go cost you to make am N1,000?” she queried.
Her colleague was quick to chip in. In her statement, she made it known that the only reason they seemed desperate was because of the hardship experienced in the country.
“If no be the way things be, you fit come dey price us like this before. This time last year, if you no get 5k, wetin you for dey find for here. I no blame you, na the economy I blame,” she said.

Remember the lady who went viral after a video of her crying profusely and begging P-Square to re-united surfaced online? Yeah.
Apparently, she contacted Paul Okoye for help and he granted her request. See what she wrote after the cut…
How @rudeboypsquare saved me from being evicted from my saloon. My name is patience erdoo yisa. So many people may know me as “the girl weh cry for psquare” , but am also an up and coming actress and stylist.
Recently my saloon rent expired and couldn’t pay, begged my landlady to give me sometime but she complained bitterly that she needs to pay her children’s school fees.
The pressure was much, business was not moving, and the only person who would’ve helped me out (my mom) had not received her salary since February.
One day I woke up and was moved to contact rudeboypsquare, though we haven’t met officially but we chatted sometime in april after releasing that video (pleading for psquare to reunite and work things out).
I contacted him and explained everything to him, he replied immediately and asked for my account details The next day I got an alert from him.
The essense of writing this is to show him how grateful I am for the prompt response …., @rudeboyosquare thanks for being a brothers keeper. God bless you more and more and more with more #bankalert, Amen.
