The father of Priscilla Ojong, the 300 Level Mass Communication student of the University of Cross River State (UNICROSS) who has been declared missing, has come out to speak.
According to Mr. Ernest Ojong, his daughter is still missing and has not made any contact with her family members for over three weeks now.
In an interview with Cross River Watch TV, Ojong said the last communication with his daughter was in April via text and that he hasn’t heard from her again.
“I am Ernest Ojong by name. Priscilla is my daughter.”
When asked when he last spoke with his daughter, Mr Ojong said

“The video, they are hiding number to call so I am not sure. That is why I want government to help me and the police.” he said
A Nigerian lady has shared her heartbreaking story of how she had to survive sexual assault several times which she said started from her childhood.
The lady identified as Dorothy Edet was speaking with newsmen during the funeral of Iniobong Umoren, the jobseeker who was raped in Akwa Ibom, and she recounted how she has been raped by close relatives, strangers as well as people she went to sell her wares to when she was a child.
She also told the horrific story of how she was raped at the age of 24, by a pastor who said he wanted to perform deliverance on her.
In her words
”My name is Dorothy Edet. I am actually a survivor of rape. I understand what it means. When people talk about rape, I also want to air out my voice.
At the age of seven, I was gang raped. Dressing has nothing to do with rape. What a woman wears cannot even push somebody to rape a woman. At the age of 10, I remember my Uncle telling my mum he is going to send me to school and that was how they came, took me home and they sexually abused me from 10 to 12 years old.
At the age of 15, I was raped when I went to sell banana for my mum. They finished eating the banana and the groundnut and they still raped me. AT the age of 20, I was gangraped again when I went to sell garri. They raped me, collected the money, collected the Garri.
At the age of 24, I was raped by my pastor who said he wanted to do deliverance for me and he did not do the deliverance. He raped me. Within five days, I was gangraped by a group of thieves who nearly destroyed my body. What did people say, don’t say anything.
They keep telling victims not to say anything. Do you know the psychological trauma that they pass through. This thing is painful. You don’t know what we face.”

Daddy Freeze has lamented about the constant state of suffering that Nigerians go through.

According to Daddy Freeze, Nigerians would come out with flying colours if there is a category for ‘suffering’ in the Olympics.

Nollywood actress, Mary Remmy Njoku has taken to social media to complain about the standards women are held to in the society.
The filmmaker and wife to IrokoTV boss, Jason Njoku, stated that it is not easy for a woman to raise children and work at the same time, because they are not robots.
According to her, it is either the women faces one squarely or do a little bit of both, adding that men should also support their wives to create a balance in the home.
She cited the example of a friend’s husband who complained that his wife does nothing but sits at home with their four boys. Mary was furious at his complaint and questioned how he expects her to work and raise the boys simultaneously, when the boys are all under the age of 10.
Read as she wrote below,
“Haba!! Body no be firewood . We have to either choose one or do a little of BOTH. And Oga has to do a little of BOTH too. To create a balance. Women are humans, not robots!!
A friend’s husband just complained to me that his wife does nothing to support him. ‘She just sits at home with the boys and eats’
Imagine . 4 sons under 10!!!
Anyway I don’t think her husband will ever speak to me again .
Time for a workout!! ”
Nollywood actress, Lizzy Anjorin, has revealed that the fear of poverty deterred her from having a second child earlier than she did.
The actress, who recently welcomed her second child in Florida, USA, shared an insight into the controversy surrounding her childbirth in a recent interview with PUNCH.
According to her, she and her husband had concluded on surrogacy to avoid complications that might arise because of her age. However, contrary to their plans, she conceived on her wedding night and was unaware of it until she was three months gone.
In her words,
“People do not consider my age and my health. You cannot compare the health of a 25-year-old hustling woman to that of a 50-year-old housewife. The latter would have more time to take care of herself. Nobody will help one out of poverty. Bringing children to this world without the ability to take care of them is a sin. I am an only child, so one would think that my mother would have been able to give me the best but reverse was the case. My mother could not independently send me to school or feed me well. Meanwhile, some people have 10 children and they give them sound education. These thoughts helped me to be more determined to work hard. Thankfully, I am not a sex addict and I have been on birth control pills for a long time.
“But miraculously, I got pregnant on my wedding day and I did not know. It took me close to three months to know that I was pregnant. I did not plan for pregnancy at all because I was taking precautions. When I got married, I thought we were acting a movie. I and my husband had planned to opt for surrogacy. If I had eventually had my child through that or in-vitro fertilization, I would have boldly spoken out about it to encourage other women.”
Speaking on the struggles she encountered while raising her first child, Lizzy said,
“My first child is 23 years old, and I can’t begin to say what I went through. All I can say is that poverty did not allow me to care for and stay with my child. If my mother did not take the responsibility of raising my child, I would not have been able to go to school or pursue other things. Some women end up on the street because of some of the decisions they make. I care about children deeply and I am so thankful that my husband was supportive all through my pregnancy. He remained unshaken even with all the reports that had earlier made the rounds about him.”
Pregnant Nollywood actress, Uche Ogbodo carpeted a troll who called her husband a “broke man” in the comment section of a post on her Instagram page.
The actress took to her page to share a video of herself chilling in company of her beau and others and in the video, the gentleman is seen using a board game cover to blow air towards her direction, clearly because the room is not adequately ventilated.
The kind gesture was appreciated by the actress and so she wrote as caption for the video,
God bless this Man wey no let Heat do me @bobbymaris , your heart is One in a million . Thanks for all you do for Bunny & I . Make Unah help me thank Am , nAh man be this.
While some of her fans and followers thanked her beau and praised him for being such a gentleman, a particular follower said he only made the gesture because he’s a broke man.
This caused the actress to react… See their exchange below,
Friends and colleagues of 22-year old Mass Communication student of the Cross River University of Technology, Priscilla Ojong, staged a protest earlier today as they insist that she is still being held by unknown persons.
This comes after the report that family members and friends raised an alarm that Priscilla has been missing for three weeks and some days after she allegedly left Calabar for Lagos to see a male friend.
On Friday May 14, Priscilla shared a video on her Instagram page insisting she isn’t kidnapped, stating that her phone got damaged which is why she has been unavailable for a while.
While her family members feel the video was made under duress, because she’s yet to contact anyone of them either physically or via the phone, they are seeking help from the general public and the police for her recovery.
Her friends and colleagues who as well, believe that she’s being held against her will and was forced to make the video, staged a protest earlier today.

The father of suspected serial rapist and killer, Uduak Akpan who confessed to killing job seeker Iniubong Umoren in Akwa Ibom State, Frank Akpan has said his son should face the full wrath of the law and if the penalty for his crime is death, then so be it.
Iniubong Umoren was a 25 year old undergraduate lady who was lured, raped and eventually killed for a phony job offer by Uduak. Following his arrest, Uduak has confessed to the crime and has said he was ready to die if found guilty.
Uduak and his father were paraded by Akwa Ibom Police Command on Friday, May 14, 2021. Speaking to journalists, Uduak’s father stated that he was disappointed with his son.
He also said that he is ready to accept whatever penalty the law decides to punish his son with, even if it’s death.
In his words;
“I have never believed such a thing could happen to me because I brought these children up in a righteous way. The police stormed my house in search of Uduak but didn’t see him. I was invited to come and answer some questions at the police station and when I got to the station, I was asked to call him.
“When he came back to Akwa Ibom, I was allowed to interact with him and that was when he told me that he committed an offence. I was disappointed; I scolded him and asked why he committed such a crime knowing fully well he has two sisters that are equally students and are both in school.
“I felt bad because I know they are women too, and I wouldn’t want such fate to befall them too.”
“The fact that the house is always locked and abandoned is not true because we have a borehole in there and all the residents around there come to fetch water from our compound.
“It’s just unfortunate that this had to happen. I never knew that this is what he does and I’m not in any way involved in this particular act.
“I was never aware of his previous acts because I haven’t fully been with them. We just relocated from Abuja and I also retired because I was a government worker. I haven’t been around for close to 30 years now.
“I’m not happy about what my child has done. I don’t even believe this can happen to me after all the years of toiling to send them to school and ensure they get the best. It depends on the system and if they say the penalty for his crime is death, then he should face the full wrath of the law”.

Read her story below ;
Omo i just escaped from kidnappers with alot of bruises. Home now and I’m just catching my breath.
Let me first and foremost say, i don’t do late nights and i was out late cos a plan got canceled on me and i had to get home by all means. So, i entered a Micra from eleyele heading to sango in ibadan. Anyone familiar with them knows its 2 in the front and 3 at the back.
I usually go for bikes but I had no choice than to enter the cab as there were no bikes available at the time.
I entered the cab and met a woman at the back and two were already sitting at the front. The driver was looking for the last passenger and i just told him to go that I’ll pay the remaining one. I wasn’t my usual observant self before entering the cab cos if not i would have probably noticed something wasn’t right. But i became uncomfortable and alert almost immediately he left eleyele, we haven’t moved far around that heritage bank, i don’t know What spirit possessed me to start arguing with them that why are we just only women by that time, that i wasn’t comfortable and that i wanted to get down, the women started shouting that its late and the driver couldn’t stop at that spot bla bla bla and why am i causing problems when we’re all women and bla bla bla, at this point i wasn’t even alarmed atall, i was just uncomfortable and scared knowing how the country is.
I just wanted to get to sango, we hadn’t moved from that heritage bank to before oluseyi when the driver stopped and the two women sitting in the front came down!, now at that point i knew I’d already entered one chance cos those women never asked the driver to stop!, never said their bus stop and the two of them alighted together! As the driver moved i began to argue with them.
I don’t know where i got the confidence, i just told them that i know what’s up that they should let me go if they don’t want me to shout or make a scene on the express, the driver replied and asked where and i said immediately and he parked and collected double, i didn’t even argue or anything, just paid. At that point I was just scared shitless and i was very afraid and paranoid , where they dropped me, i just crossed to the other side, (only if I had known) when i alighted, there wasn’t any moving car on the other side of the road. So i almost immediately crossed to the other side of the road cos at that point all manners of survival whatever was all i was thinking and i felt crossing was safer, as soon as i crossed a Micra just came on few feet from me and instead of going straight It just turned into one untarred road there and i saw some guy pointing something from the moving Micra hoping to force me in, omo i didn’t know how i flew from that road to inside gutter and how i ran inside that gutter, came out and still almost didn’t escape them If not for God and my sisters call and the fact that i didn’t let go of my phone when my things were falling while running in the gutter. That eleyele sango road is not a safe one, pls be careful out there, be vigilant and observant. It’s a crazy world out there.
Omo i just escaped from kidnappers with alot of bruises. Home now and I'm just catching my breath

Nigerian actor, Yomi Fabiyi has made startling revelations concerning the case of Baba Ijesha who was alleged to have sexually assaulted the 14-year-old foster daughter of comedienne, Princess.
He made the statement amidst reports that Baba Ijesha sexually molested the daughter of Princess.
Yomi Fabiyi who has been outspoken on the saga said the actor as opened up on the conversation he had with Baba Ijesha during his recent visit to him in Panti prison.
In a chat with City People, the actor claimed that Baba Ijesha told him of how he had an affair with Princess when their spouses left them.
Yomi Fabiyi, the actor who is taking a lot of heat from the Baba Ijesha and Princess rape saga right now, has opened up on the conversation he had with Baba Ijesha during his recent visit to him in Panti prison.
In a chat with City People, the actor claimed that Baba Ijesha told him of how he had an affair with Princess Comedian when their spouses left them.
“I noticed he was trying to dodge it. I don’t lie and your secret is safe with me. But I will tell you what he told me. He said Yomi, I had marital problem the same time she had hers (Princess), and we became closer. She had helped me with admission. And I asked again that, were you guys having sex?
But he replied that Yomi, we became close! But I still think he deserves to be granted bail. No one has the right to hold anyone beyond the statutory law. If you want to hold anyone beyond 48 hours, you have to approach the court with enough evidence as to why the person should not be released.”
Speaking further, Yomi Fabiyi said “I went there and I said Baba (Ijesha), I need to speak with you. And it’s not that we are close; he doesn’t know where I live. He hasn’t appeared in my movies for 18 years since I have been producing movies. But I must not act otherwise because he’s my colleague in the industry.
So, I told them at the police station that I needed to see him and they brought him out. He said Yomi and I said, sir! I said I want you to tell me in all honesty, did you rape the young girl? Because I was already having images in my head and I don’t want to believe he’s the one.
And I asked him to tell me; did you rape the girl? And he said, Yomi, there was never a time I raped this lady! And this lady never said I raped her. But the Police said you confessed to the crime and the statement from the police reads Baba Ijesha rape allegation. What is in the video and what did you confess you did then? He said Yomi, they showed me the CCTV and they came in started battering, torturing me.
But I know what I did was not right and I said to him, did you touch the girl; a 14-year-old girl? And he said I don’t even know her age. I know I touched the girl. I kissed her hand. I told him not to say anything again because I felt he might be dodging some things and I requested the video but I was denied.
But I told him if he did what people have been saying, I would be so disappointed in him. And he told me he needed a lawyer and I also asked if anybody has visited him from the industry. He told him only one person came and she came on the instruction of the TAMPAN President to ask for the situation of things. After then I gave him some money.
But because I was there (I went to see Baba Ijesha), they thought I went to tell the police another thing or something else happened when I visited him. Is it wrong for a colleague to show moral support to a colleague and wants to know the true account? I will never forsake anybody that I know is good in time of trouble. I asked him and he told me that he’s not a paedophile. This girl looks like an adult to me, Yomi.”
In the video that was released by Princess, she said the girl was raped 7 years ago and that Baba Ijesha didn’t have sex with her then that he only inserted key into her private part. So I said is that what made the girl misbehave in school? It’s not correlating. That was when I began to say maybe somebody is trying to bring someone down.
First, on no account should anybody use a child set up anybody. This is the child you said has been molested and now you were able to convince an innocent child to submit her body for another molestation? If I know you are a sex predator, a Paedophile, I should use the last breathe in me to ensure that you do not touch that child.
Because what happened in the video is like telling that girl to release her body to be molested. That he would put his finger into you, please don’t worry I’m videoing it. He would fondle your breasts, endure it. That’s what I saw in the video. That’s too bad. I’m not surprised at all.
A lot of Nigerians are on social media when they should be in the Library. The first mistake of Princess was to involve the girl in the investigation. I’m not saying don’t confront Baba Ijesha.
The deed has been done 7 years ago and the most experienced investigator can’t unravel what happened 7 years ago. What happened today can never be connected to 7 years ago. It’s vendetta. You speak the truth you die, you don’t speak the truth you vanish. That’s why I always tell people to control their anger. It’s a premeditated crime.
You brainwashed the girl. The girl could say I don’t want to do this but if she talks too much she could be starved. No child should be made to go through that type of thing in Nigeria.
Baba Ijw
From the CCTV I watched also, how can the video end when Baba Ijesha was touching the girl? Who controlled the CCTV? So it’s been doctored. Why didn’t CCTV capture when people rushed in?”
Yomi Fabiyi recently alongside others stormed Panti police station to protest over the detention of the embattled actor, who was accused of molesting a 14-year-old girl.
During the protest, Fabiyi, and other protesters marched from Casino Bus Stop to Panti Police Station on Wednesday.
They demanded that Baba Ijesha should be released from detention pending when a court would hear his case.
Fabiyi, who has been supportive of Baba Ijesha, described the continuous detention of Baba Ijesha as “illegal”.
