The proud new father took to his social media page to share a poetic detail on the birth of his new born, daughter Aviella who was brought to the world few days ago.
He shared the above photo with the caption:
“And like the moon watchers,
We counted days,
But the sovereignty of God was displayed,
He smiled as we waited,
With His plans yet, unrevealed.
In the womb, the baby kicks,
Every movement, her mother’s pain and joy.
To an elated father, the days seem slow,
But for God, His speed counts.
My mouth constantly in prayers,
Then, I remembered Judas and Peter,
Their differences, Jesus prayed for one,
And I asked He prayed for my daughter.
He alone knows much and what she needs.
Like the sweetness of honey,
On the FRIDAY, 30TH SEPTEMBER, 2016,
OUR PRINCESS’ ARRIVAL was announced.
On a unique day, at exactly 9 years after I met her mother as our marriage counted 5 years and 9 months on the 9th Month of the Year.
Pains of years past, He wiped away with a flash.
Joy rushes and gushes my entire being.
She came earlier than expected, but on God’s chosen date.
Bless the Lord o my soul and in His faithfully shall I be assured.
#DaddyTiwa #DaddyOluwademiladeola &#DaddyChidera #DaddyAviella”
A Facebook page, which shared the video, is in total disbelief of the situation though – you can hear the Yoruba people apparently, chanting “Allahu Akbar” after the about to be slaughtered Chicken crows for its life.
The Facebook page wrote:
Come and see sontin (something). Here are some Nigerian black African Arab wannabes who said a cock started shouting Allah Akbar in Arabic when they wanted to slaughter it.
They say that the cock cannot be eaten as that will mean eating God. No, listen to what they said yourself, I did not make it up. (video is below).
You see why Africa cannot have sense? So the millions of hens slaughtered all the time by KFC, Chicken Republic and even bukas all over the world, none of them could also
shout Buddha, Orunmila or Jesus so they can be saved right? You sef imagine a cock shouting Orunmila gba mi, maje kojutimi (Orunmila save me, don’t let me be disgraced). What has stopped the goats from yelling Jehovah before they are used for asun in Ikorodu or isiewu in Aba? Why is the cock not screaming in Ijebu dialect?
Simple answer: these black African Arab wannabes have been brainwashed to believe that Arabic is the language of God and it is not their fault really. I truly understand their predicament but they should not come here to tell me crap (you know yourself).
Can you imagine the number of hens that will be speaking in Ekiti dialect on a daily basis in Ado Ekiti if we bother to listen to them? Or Yoruba is not as divine as Arabic shey? Let us even assume that hot water burnt the throat of the poor cock and it was screaming ‘Allah’, how is that supposed to be a divine sign? Is that the cure for sickle cell anaemia or the solution to our recession?
Of what significance or utilitarian value is such a ‘miracle’?. This is why Africa does not have sense really. Gullibility and the laziness to use our brains. Today, scientists are on the edge of getting a permanent cure for HIV/AIDS but see what your family members are doing?
The Kenyan man in the photo above is identified as Calvin Mbane Alfayo, a “psychotic” being who took to his Facebook page to brag and show off photos of a minor he slept with in the bush.
Alfayo shared photos of himself and the girl lying in a bush, stating that he had just defiled the girl and told his followers to take love instead of waiting to be loved.
In one photo, Alfayo asks the girl to lift her top as he takes a photo of her. Social media users, enraged by the sick show on Facebook, called for his immediate arrest.
He has now been identified as the son of a local Member of the County Assembly (MCA). One of the most disconcerting bits of information about the man is that he is a former administration police officer who was fired over cases of indiscipline.
Top notch Nigerian comedian, Basketmouth lost his mother last night, 3rd of October, 2016 – the comedian, shared the news on his social media account moments ago.
He wrote:
“Last night my angel left me, my first love stopped breathing and it’s the deepest pain I’ve ever felt. I love you for every sacrifice you made to make me the man I am today, I’ve loved you through the tough times. I’ve loved you through happier days and all I can say at this point is that I will love you forever. I will miss you mummy.”
Couple of years back when singer cum Nollywood actress, Adokiye Kyrian confessed to Potpourri that she was still a virgin at 23, the entertainment world welcomed the news with a mixture of shock and disbelief.
To some, it was simply a gag to gain attention and probably win some hearts.
Two years after, the s’exy diva says she’s still as good down below as the first day she came to this earth.
Whether being a virgin is a thing of pride or not in this fast and furious world of quick fix, it does appear Adokiye is not having quite a ball as many have been grinding her and asking questions about her se’xuality.
According to her, she receives jabs on daily basis, with some telling her she should come clean on her se’xuality and tell the world she’s gay rather than claiming she’s a virgin.
For the Grace crooner, who has just released a collabo with Oritefemi titled Jombolo, the jabs are beginning to leave a mark onher pride and her person and thus has decided to leave a line for the haters
“ A lot of people are tagging me gay. I don’t blame them. It’s not easy to find a beautiful girl who’s still a virgin, especially in this tough period. The truth is, I love men, I adore them, I cherish them and got so much respect for them but my problem is, I haven’t found that somebody yet, to give my body and heart to. It doesn’t mean I am a lesbian or gay or what not.”
Recall that the singer once said she’s willing to give her heart to the first man that can buy her mum a private jet she promised her, but now she seems to have reduced the price as she has said the type of man she wants must be “a responsible man, someone that would respect me and be God-fearing.”
Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, have arrested a 47-year-old man, who attempted to export 270 grammes of cocaine to Madagascar.
The suspect, Odili Onyekwere, was nabbed at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos, during the outward screening of passengers on a Kenyan Airways flight to Ivato International Airport, Antananarivo, Madagascar.
The NDLEA Commander at the Lagos Airport, Ahmadu Garba, said:
s“This is the first arrest and seizure in the year of a passenger heading to Madagascar from this airport. The suspect, Odili Onyekwere, successfully excreted 25 wraps of cocaine, which he ingested, while under close observation.
“He is cooperating with our team of investigators and the case will soon be charged to court.”
During interrogation, the Rivers State-born suspect said he went into drug trafficking out of frustration. The father of two, who trades in foot wear in Lome, Togo, said:
s“I am married with two children and I sell shoes in Lome, Togo. As a result of the economic downturn, my capital kept depreciating until I lost everything. It was the frustration of not being able to provide for my wife and two children that made me go into smuggling of cocaine.
It is my first time. They promised to pay me $1,000, which is over N400,000, going by the present exchange rate.”
Commenting on the arrest, the Chairman/Chief Executive of the agency, Muhammad Mustapha Abdallah, said with the use of latest technology in drug control, the agency would continue to disappoint those hoping to get rich quick from drug trafficking.
Six suspected members of the kidnapper gang that abducted the wife of the Central Bank Governor, Margaret Emefiele, last Thursday have reportedly been arrested.
The suspects were arrested at their hideout in Edo State over the weekend, and are being held at the state command headquarters, Benin.
Sources told Punch on Monday that the suspects were apprehended by the operatives of the Inspector-General of Police Special Monitoring and Intelligence Team, led by CSP Abba Kyari.
The brave and gallant police officer Abba Kyari led the operation to rescue the abducted school girls in Lagos. He also led the team that rescued the mother of the former Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, who was abducted in Delta State in 2012 and the arrest of notorious South West armed robber, ‘Godogodo.’
This brings to seven the number of suspects arrested in connection with Mrs.Emefiele’s abduction, which occurred along the Benin-Agbor Road.
The gang had demanded N100m ransom, but they were forced to release their victims following pressures from the police, army and Department of State Services.
It could not be confirmed if any ransom was paid, but the hostages were released early Saturday morning, while the security agencies arrested one suspect shortly afterwards.
The little boy photoed above was said to be very hungry the day he took N200 from his mother’s purse just to buy GALA. His stepfather, one Mr Victor George, said because he stole the money, he deserved to be punished and badly burnt the young boy’s hand over a stove.
Facebook user Davina shared the story saying:
sIF YOU LOVE KIDS SHARE THIS NEWS

A distraught Nigerian husband has shared how his discontented wife of more that four years, absconded with their two kids because she could no longer cope with their lifestyle after he lost his job…
Revealing that he misses his two kids, he wrote:
sMy wife absconded with our kids (2 boys). We’ve been married for 4years plus. I did everything a good husband would do to please his wife, but she never satisfied.
Before we got married, I’ve a good job and she knew my worth, after marriage things isn’t as rosy and it used to be, I lost my job and I was able to get one after 2 months but the salary is 120k excluding other freelance jobs I do online.
We’re unable to save. We spent most of the money on food stuffs, I hate seeing her hungry. She called me one faithful night and reminds me of the premises I made before
we got married about the car and supermarket I promised her (I can’t remembered making such promises), but I still encourage her to be patient with me, that things gonna be fine.
She never supported me as she’s not working. I remember I gave her 450k to start a business; she was pregnant at the time so she rejected the money because of her condition. I added some money and I bought a car, I needed the car to hustle for contracts, I cant be jumping from okada to marwa, nobody gonna take you serious.
A month later, I got a printing contract from one of the best companies in Lagos, the condition is to use your money for the contract so I sold the car to print the job, I bought a machine unfortunately the machine packedup, i lost the gain and money for the car but I was able to delivered the job more that expectation but I lost huge amount of money. She always complaining ever since, when I tried to encourage her that things will be fine she will ask me ‘when’.
She treats my kids as if she wasn’t the one that brought them to this world, she always using negative words for those kids, I later realized she doesn’t love me, if she love me, she’ll equally love my kids.
4 months ago, she went to visit my younger sister in osogbo, she saw the way my sister’s business was moving fine, she fall inlove with osogbo, she sent a message thus ‘dear, guess I am in love with Oshogbo is peaceful and cool’.
When she came back to Lagos, she said she wanted us to move to osogbo, after much persuasion and consideration I succumbed. We moved to osogbo, I spent more than 300k. 2 weeks later, she started complaining that osogbo is boring. I was so mad. I had to risk my life travelling from osogbo to Lagos almost every week.
On the 16th of September (a day after I celebrated our last born birthday) she left for Lagos for her sister’s wedding, I gave her 12k for tfair and other expenses. I called her a week later to remind her that our first son gonna resume school the following Monday, that’s when she said she’s no longer interested in the marriage, that I should move on.
I called her mother, she said I should come see her but my family stopped me, since we never had a fight and I was not the one that sent her packing that she should be the one to come.
I’m missing my kids, they’re my life, I don’t know what to do.
Little Pamela turned one recently and her folks went all out to celebrate their little angel – you see the miniature Mercedes Benz car she got as a birthday gift yeah?!
An overnight attack by some gunmen on a police post in central Benue State has left at least four police officers who were on duty, dead.
Witnesses told PREMIUM TIMES the yet-to-be-identified gunmen stormed the police divisional headquarters in Igumale, the headquarters of Ado Local Government Area, shortly after midnight on October 2, killing all the four officers on duty.
The attackers also carted away the guns and ammunition of the officers.
Ajibo Ochulayi, a community leader in the agrarian town, told the publication that while two officers died on the spot, two others later passed on in a medical centre in Makurdi, the state capital.
s“It is sad that the gunmen were able to overpower the policemen and killed all the four of them with little resistance,” Mr. Ochulayi said.
He said the state’s police commissioner, Bashir Makama, visited the scene on Sunday afternoon with a few mobile police officers to assess the aftermath.
Police have only launched a manhunt for the assailants, and no one has been identified on the motive of the attack. The publication also added that their efforts to reach the police spokespersons for the latest on the attack were unsuccessful.
The Nollywood actress shared a video of herself in church as she knelt down and worshiped but some of her followers didn’t feel it right for her to record and share a video of herself while having her moment with the Supreme Being.
They took to the comment section to whip her some lashes. Read some of the comments below:
Following the news of the reality TV star being robbed of about $16million in an hotel apartment in France, full details of how the robbery went down has reached TMZ, as sources say Kim Kardashian was ordered out of bed by masked men she initially thought were going to rape her.
Kim was lying in bed with only her robe on when she heard boots pounding up the stairs of her 2 story apartment.
We’re told Kim saw at least one masked man and another wearing a police hat through a sliding glass door. She knew something was amiss, so she rolled off the bed and tried dialing her bodyguard on her cell phone.
Before she could finish dialing one of the men yanked the phone out of her hands. They zip tied her hands with plastic handcuffs and duct taped her to make it more secure. We’re told one of the men grabbed her by the ankles … Kim told cops at that point she believed she was about to be raped.
The robbers duct taped her ankles, picked her up and put her in the bathtub. She then started screaming … begging them not to kill her because she had babies. She went on to say she had money and they could take whatever they wanted.
Kim told cops the robbers did not know English and only spoke French. The only thing she understood … the men kept saying, “ring, ring.” Kim knew what they were after — the new ring she got from Kanye. She told them where it was in the apartment, but that was not the end.
Kim continued to beg and cry, and at that point the robbers duct taped her mouth shut.
We’re told a friend of Kim’s — Simone — was also in the apartment … sleeping in the downstairs bedroom. Simone heard the commotion and locked herself in the bathroom and called Pascal, the bodyguard, and Kourtney … telling them to hurry back because something was terribly wrong.
Pascal got back to the apartment 2 minutes after the robbers left.
A Pakistani man has admitted the murdering of his younger sister in an ‘honour killing’ because she married a Christian man.
Mubeen Rajhu, 24, from Lahore, shot Tasleem, 18, in the head at home in August after he discovered his Muslim sister had defied the family and married a Christian.
He had been taunted by co-workers who had seen Tasleem in their neighbourhood with the man. Rajhu, who is from a poor neighbourhood on the northern edge of Lahore, is being held by police.
He said he had demanded that his sister swear on the Quran that she would never marry the man.
He said:
‘I told her I would have no face to show at the mill, to show to my neighbors, so don’t do it. Don’t do it. But she wouldn’t listen.
‘I could not let it go. It was all I could think about. I had to kill her. There was no choice. There was no yelling, no shouting. I just shot her dead.’
Ali Raza, a co-worker at the mill, said the taunting of Rajhu about his sister had gone on for months.
He said:
‘He used to tell us, “If you don’t stop, I will kill myself. Stop!” The guys here told him, “It would be better to kill your sister”.’
Raza said Rajhu told them he had bought a pistol and one day in August stopped coming to work. However, Tasleem’s father Mohammed Naseer Rajhu puts the blame on his daughter.
Daily Mail reports he said:
‘My family is destroyed. Everything is destroyed only because of this shameful girl. Even after death I am destroyed because of her.’
The number of ‘honour killings‘ in Pakistan has increased over the past few years. According to the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, 1,184 people were killed in 2015, compared to 869 in 2013.
Current reigning boxing champion, Floyd Mayweather showed off $1 MILLION in cash on his Instagram page, hours after reality TV was robbed in France after she showed off her very expensive possession on Social media too.
Considering the fact that the reality TV star was targeted and robbed at gunpoint after showing off her expensive jewels, this may not be the wisest thing for the Boxing champion to do. But then, reports say Floyd is always monitored by a private security detail – “24 hours a day. 365 days a year.”
A woman got so infuriated after she discovered her ex-boyfriend had found a new partner, she then decided to get her revenge – by burning his Arsenal shirts on a barbecue.
Deanne Harding, 30, ended her nine-year relationship with Adam McNairn after he became so violent towards her and he was arrested and appeared at court.
She even went to the court case to witness her former partner get convicted of beating her after he attacked her in July. But she was stunned to see him with a new girlfriend days later before his sentencing.
To get back at him, she filmed herself placing ‘pretty much‘ all of his clothes – £1,000 worth of items, such as designer jeans and shirts and three Arsenal FC tops – on a grill in a back garden and burning them 24 hours later.
Ms Harding told SunUK: ‘Burning the clothes just made me feel so much better.’
While her ex-boyfriend told the paper: ‘I wasn’t impressed by what she did. It’s all my clothes, pretty much.’

A shocking video has emerged online showing one of the most inhuman action ever witnessed. It’s too shocking to bear! Just months ago, a video surfaced on social media showing a Ugandan house help assaulting a toddler of her employer, a video that shocked many!
Now This!?. The video shows the unidentified house help suffocating the child with what appears to be a pillow in the most inhumane way ever.
My marriage to my wife is facing a serious challenge, after I discovered from my wife’s WAEC certificate, that the date of her birth on the result is 6 years more than what she told me and what has been in all her non academic documents, including her C.V. Actually, i have seen all her academic certificates, including her NYSC discharge certificate, but never saw her S.S.C.E and FSLC results that normally bear dates of birth. Each time i ask her for them in order to compile all the credentials for job application purposes, she would tell me that her WAEC, NECO and primary school results are in a box, with her mum in thier home town; that she would ask her mum to bring them. I gnomo her mum lager came with them for her.
Eventually, a serious sure job came for which i would need these credentials to forward to the organization. She gave me the WAEC result with the excuse that age forgot the NECO and FSLC in her current office, which she promised to bring. Lol and behold! What i saw on the WAEC result is a date of birth 6 years higher than what she told me and what is in her C.Vs.
I called her attention and she started giving me excuses that hold no water. She is saying that the same DOB were erroneously registerd for her when, perhaps they were registering her for both WAEC and NECO. That when the results came out and she noticed the errors, she complained and applied to correct same, but since then, the exam authorities have not corrected them. I have not come to terms with the this discovery. I think this may cause us peace, thrust and love in pur marriage.
My brothers and sisters, i think am contemplating of what action to take against her and am contemplating a divorce, but our two children are still very small for this. I want to report this issue to her family and mine. Am gradually withdrawing my trust for her.
I need matured advice and suggestions that will see me through this.

Many Nigerians aren’t really in support of this. One comment reads: “If he turns gay now, you’ll be blaming the devil”
This Facebook user, Juliet Chiemerie Nwanyanwu, has blasted Nigerian movie makers and producers for portraying African cultures and tradition (specifically the Igbo tribe) as evil.
She said she had an argument with her neighbor who she claimed was talking bad about Igbo people because of a Nollywood movie she had watched.
She wrote below:
‘I had an Arguement with my Hausa neighbor today, who was saying shit about Igbo people just because of a Movie she watched. Ok lemme get this straight to y’all I Juliet Chinaza Nwachukwudenwaro of Ani Mpu, Nwanyanwu III will never patronize #Nollywood and #Gollywood movies cos of these few reason.
1. Is only in Nollywood that they demonize their Cultural Values, #African Deities and Histories.
2. Is only in Nollywood movies especially the Igbo dramas When someone wants to attack you, destroy you or kill you will go to native doctors in the forest.
3. Is only in Nollywood African Deities kills everyone.When you need blood money visit African Gods and When you are about to die run into church or meet strong pastors.
4. Is only Nollywood native doctors live inside thick scary forest.
5. The only people who at least make African deities not to so look evil is only in #Yoruba Dramas, they portray their Gods to be Just and Fair but in #Igbo Movie NADA!!! they are Witchy Witchy, Every family has an evil Uncles and Aunties. And tomorrow you expect people to see Igbos as good people when you forget We have alot of Monkeys and Baboons who Believe everything #TelLieVision (Television) shows them.
The Amazing part is that even the so called Christians don’t love themselves, When they have good Plans they are living Christ like but when they hate you and want to hurt you they will visit Native Doctors, but when it back fires they ran to pastors. Nonsense I have never seen Hollywood making Movie where Witches and Christians have clash and pastors won. All of you have watch Harry Porter and what is the Movie Portraying Witchery Powers as? They show you people who use Magic for selfish reasons and they show you Harry Porter and His disciples as other Good witches who use magic for good. Common sense Even Merlin the dirty boy who wears only one cloth but saves the whole Village with magics.
Check Korean Movies they never make their Cultural Values look evil, Chinese and Japanese Movies never do that also they even show you how Buddha help them to be Kung Fu, Sholin, Taekwondo and Karate Genius. Take a look a Bollywood (Indian Movies) No matter how bad the person uses magic of Hindu, the Indian Gods avenges back to the evil ones. But in Africa is a Different thing Especially Nigerian and Ghanaian Movies is a different story. To the extent that their saviors in some of their movies are White Men or the Fair Actors. They evil ones are Black, Native Doctors wears are Black and Red. Angels are White.
October 1 was a Nigerian movie that shows the dark side and how Christianity came in our land, How they White Missionary men Molested our 11 – 15 year old boys in the name of Seminary schools, (HomoSexuals Catholic Priests) this movie is not Popular in Nigeria as it was expected to be because they hate the truth, they all want to believe that Christianity in Nigeria was a good thing, without Mary Slessor who came The people of Nigeria will still be Killing Twins. Excuse me a Yoruba God called #IBEJI means Twins. Nollywood has helped a lot of Pastors in their Business by proving our Deity is evil.
Today people nobody longer need to meet Native Doctors for evil powers cos All the Native Doctors in Nigerian realize how Lucrative Pastor-ship is so they now open Churches in every corner of the Streets to reap you Brainwashed to pieces. Chrstians now pray agiasnt their fellow Christians, They see each others as evil As Long as I am a Pentecostal and You are Red Cross Brotherhood a.k.a OO Ogbu, Celestial, Jehovah Witness, Catholic. Eckankar, Later-Day Saints e.t.c You are easily prone to Fetishness, Cultism e.t.c in other words Dirty your hands with Native Doctor Powers.
Rubbish, tomorrow All of them will come and attack my post and Scream about how good they are cos they are Christians but they never love each-other meanwhile their religion Golden Rule is about Love. Especially that Crazy Woman called Mama G (Patience Ozorkwu) after displaying her craziness with our Cultural Values, She no longer get Acting opportunities and Endorsements She jumped into Church business.
I think A Word is Enough for the Wise. Christians and Muslims in Nigeria all of you should go and research about How your Middle Eastern Deities came in to Nigeria, Check out How our Fore Fathers backed down and Accept A Roman Jewish God and Arabic God as their Almighty. I want this Post to Rest these Goddamn Nollywoood people so that they can get a little sense.”
President of the United States, Barack Obama and his lovely wife, Michelle have been a couple since 1992 and their union has been blessed with two beautiful daughters, 18-year-old Malia and 15-year-old Sasha.

Today, Fillippo Amato, Counsellor, Head of Trade and Economics Section of EU, explained that recession could not be addressed with traditional development tools.
He said the recession was a recent development which was due to a number of factors, including the fall in oil prices and resurgence of militancy in the Niger Delta.
He said,
“To come out of recession, the country has to take brave decisions, regardless of how unpopular they may be such as fully and effectively devaluing the Naira.
Devaluing the Naira is a measure, which will finally reassure investors and attract new capitals to the country. At the same time, it will further reduce imports, thereby removing artificial forex restrictions, and removing any potential waste of scarce resources such as the fuel subsidy.”
A Hluhluwe man has said he will not be able to forgive the three (the third one held the camera) women who raped him.
A video of the incident appeared on social media and has since gone viral.
The man, whose name is known to the Daily News, said he was at home when a woman whom he knows called him over, saying she needed help with an electrical problem at her home.
“I went into her house and when I got there, I saw another girl in the room. I did not pay any attention to her. Then another girl who was hiding behind the door closed it, that’s when I realised that something was wrong.”
He said after they closed the door behind him, they told him they wanted to sleep with him.
“I initially thought they were joking,” he said.
However, he soon realised they were serious when he was attacked. He said he tried to defend himself but his arm was weak since he had injured it in an accident years ago.
He said he was let go and he went home and took a shower. He said the incident had left him feeling confused.
“I told my older sister about what happened but she thought I was joking.”
It was only after a video appeared online that she took what he said seriously and encouraged him to go to the police. He said he feared going to the police because he thought they would not take him seriously.
“When I told them what happened they were shocked. The three women were arrested the same day I reported the matter.”
The alleged rapists were people he knew and grew up with in the area, he said.
“I’m very angry,” he said of the assault. One of the families of the alleged rapists went to the man’s home to try to make amends, he said.
“My brothers and sisters were not having any of it,” he said.
He was looking forward to the trial and wanted the women to be severely punished. “People like that should not be part of society.”
What made it more difficult to move on was that the video was on social media and people had come to ask him what happened.
“It is something I never thought would happen to me. There is not much I can do but try to move on.”
According to Reese Mann, executive director of the South African Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse (Samssa), one out of six males before the age of 18 were sexually abused.
Mann said 19.3% of all sexual violations reported to police involved male victims.
“Male victims of sexual abuse are less likely than their female counterparts to report incidents of sexual abuse, because police and the judiciary don’t take it seriously,” Mann said.
Mann said a widely held myth was that if males got an erection and/or, ejaculated during the sexual abuse, they must have enjoyed it.
“A man being raped can still get an erection because it is in the physiological make-up of males that if they are caressed long enough they end up getting an erection,” said Mann.
He said there was also the myth that men should be capable of protecting themselves against sexual abuse.
“There are three stages that any victim of sexual abuse goes through, and they are called the three Fs.
“They can fight back, they can flee or they are just overcome by fear and the force exerted by the perpetrator, in which case they just freeze,” said Mann.
Police spokesman, Lieutenant-Colonel Thulani Zwane, confirmed the incident and said the women had appeared in the Hluhluwe Magistrate’s Court last Thursday and were expected to appear again on Tuesday for a bail application.
2016 has been a year of emotional turbulence in Nollywood. Actors have gotten awarded, recognized internationally, engaged, married and re-married and sadly, lives have been lost along the way. With just 3 months till 2017, over 10 Nollywood favourites have passed away, dating as early as January.
