Nigerian bid to crack down on gay jostles US

LAGOS (AFP) – The United States expressed concern on Friday over legislation in Nigeria that seeks to outlaw gay marriage and organisations as well as ban public displays of affection between homosexual couples.

“The United States is concerned about reports of legislation in Nigeria that would restrict expression, assembly or organisation based on sexual orientation or gender identity,” a statement issued by the US embassy said.

“The United States believes that all people deserve the full range of human rights and opposes the criminalization of sexual relations between consenting adults. The United States is watching this matter closely.”

Nigeria’s senate this week approved the bill, which must still be voted on by the House of Representatives and signed by President Goodluck Jonathan.

The bill spells out a 14-year jail term for anyone entering into same-s*x marriage or civil union.

Those who abet or aid such unions could receive 10 years, as would “any person who registers, operates or participates in gay clubs, societies and organizations” — a provision that seems to target gay advocacy groups as well.

The bill also sets out a 10-year sentence for “any person who … directly or indirectly makes public show of same-sex amorous relationships”.

The US statement said “the freedoms of speech, assembly and association are long-standing international commitments and universally recognized.”

“Nigeria, as a state party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, has assumed important obligations on these matters. We expect the government of Nigeria to act in a manner consistent with those obligations.”..

Your brother defiled your six year old daughter, would you forgive him--by Uche Jombo

It has been five years since my brother went to jail for the crime of defilement. And I am still wondering if I can ever forgive him. It is so because he didn’t only defile a child according to the law, he committed incest with his own niece who happens to be my six year old daughter.

Their closeness started like a joke because she was a very ugly child and he was always laughing at her. Eventually, she dropped her baby thinness and started putting on weight which brought out a queenly beauty.

It was amazing because even at six, she looked like a ten year old and it was fascinating to gaze at her beauty, so innocent and alarming.

Johnny took an uncanny interest in my daughter that sometimes keeps me wishing for my husband’s presence. My husband had traveled to Somalia for a peace keeping mission, he was a soldier. Johnny moved in with us because we needed a man in the house and I felt not only at home, but secured.

It was wonderful having him in our home until that fateful day l walked into his bedroom unannounced and met the biggest shock of my life…

Hear what our actresses have to say. Read on…

Forgiveness is God’s – Uche Jombo, Actress

This is a pathetic story and the man is indeed sick. We are talking about a six year old girl who was defiled by her biological uncle. This is sickening to imagine. And it makes me feel so cold. Has this world turned into this? He couldn’t sleep with an adult woman like he is supposed to? What was he thinking? Has he forgotten there’s God somewhere?

Anyway, the best thing to do is to take care of the child in question and leave the rest for God to judge. Bearing in mind that he is family and if we push it too hard, it might be taken to the extreme. What l mean extreme in the context is that one might be tempted to do the unthinkable and we might live our lives regretting later. So my candid advise is that she forgives and allow God be God.

Damn him to hell! – Rugby Ojiakor, Actress

Seriously speaking at this point, of this unsettling drama. I would pick the first weapon that comes to my hand, but if he is fortunate and doesn’t die or injured badly. I would disown him for life. Sexual abuse on a minor is the height of destroying a child’s life.

The child cannot forget the episode even if the adult does. It would have damage the victim’s life and it only take the grace of God for that child to turn out well. The issue here is not only an abuse on a child, but on a child who is your blood.

It is like sleeping with your own child! It is pure incest and it is an abomination in the eyes of God. How could any man get turn on by a child of six? This is unbelievable and my so- called brother should rot in hell for all l care. As for my child, l would look for the best way to help her forget the ungodly situation.

No way! – Uche Iwuanyanwu, Actress

I would kill my brother at first sight if I let my anger take the better part of me, so I will try and calm down and take a rational step. My child will be rushed to the hospital for treatment and check up and I will immediately call on the Police and before they get to my house, I will ask that brother of mine what got into him and why he chose to bring this disgrace upon himself.

I would not ever forgive a brother who could do that to my child or any child of that age. That would be inhuman, demonic an satanic on his part and the best place for someone like that is hell fire. Only God can forgive him because l probably would not ever forgive him. And if l do, then it would only take the grace of God.

This is not a movie to watch, it is a sacrilege. He would have ruined my daughter’s life and future. It would take the grace and mercies of God to make her whole again. But for the law, he would dance of course to their music in jail...

Afghan Woman To Be Freed From Jail After Agreeing To Marry Her Rapist

A 19yr old Afghan woman, Gulnaz, was sentenced to 12 years in prison for adultery after relatives discovered the unmarried lady was pregnant. (It's a crime in Afghanistan to have sex outside of marriage). Gulnaz told authorities that her cousin's husband had raped, and made her pregnant and that she had tried to fight him off on the night he attacked her. The alleged rapist, who was also arrested and locked up for adultery, denied it was rape.

After Gulnaz incarceration, the EU and other world human rights organizations got involved and called on the Afghan president to release the rape victim. Yesterday Thursday December 1, Afghan President Hamid Karzai pardoned Gulnaz, on the condition that she will marry her attacker.
 

Gulnaz had initially refused a judge's offer of freedom if she agreed to marry the rapist. She changed her mind because she didn't want her child, who had been born in prison, to grow up in prison. And also because that was the the only way to bring peace between her, her family and her rapists family, as she is said to have brought shame to both families.

About half of the 300 to 400 women jailed in Afghanistan are imprisoned for so-called "moral crimes" such as sex outside marriage, or running away from their husbands, according to reports by the United Nations and research organizations.

Mercy Johnson Fights Producer Over Blindness Rumour

The Nollywood star actress, Mercy Johnson is not happy with a producer who in the cause of promoting his movies went to town with the rumour that Mercy is blind. In the last few days the latest news about Mercy Johnson indicated that she was blind.

Mercy is pissed by what she described as baseless information being circulated by a producer who in a bid to sell his movie dabbled into irresponsible publicity stunts. Mercy was blind in the movie not in real life.

It was also gathered that Mercy also fingered one of her detractors as the person behind her death rumour.

A statement by the publicist for Mercy Johnson Okojie reads
“As at the time of writing this, blogspheres and entertainment industry is a washed with rumour that star actress, Mercy Johnson suffered blindness and experienced a terrible accident that led to her death.

This rumour has no resemblance or iota of truth. Mercy is on a movie location in Lagos and getting set for her trip to Australia in a matter of days.

The rumour started as a result of a publicity stunt initiated by producer of a movie where Mercy’s character lost an eye. Another part of the rumor was started by detractor whose only goal is pull Mercy Johnson down by all means.

However, it is to be noted that Mercy is hale and hearty.

A woman's face caught on fire during routine surgery in the USA

Kim Grice, 29, was undergoing surgery to have cysts removed from her brain when her face erupted in flames.

Grice was airlifted to a Burn Unit with burns to her face and neck.

Grice's father, Ted Grice, told a local newspaper his daughter's face had "caught on fire" during surgery.

"The doctors and the hospital are not telling us what happened," he said. "They said they had never seen anything like it before and they are terribly sorry that it happened."

Grice's mother said she was in shock.

"This is not what happens with a routine outpatient surgery."

According to ABC News, however, "flash fires"are not uncommon.

Between 550 and 650 surgical fires occur each year in the US alone. More than half of surgical fires happen inside a patient's airway or on the patient's upper body, while a quarter of surgical fires happen on other parts of the body.

About 70 per cent of "flash fires" are ignited by electrosurgical tools commonly known as Bovies, devices that use a high-frequency electric current to cut tissue or stop bleeding, reported MSNBC.

Twenty per cent of fires are sparked by hot wires, light sources, burrs or defibrillators while about 10 per cent are sparked by lasers.

60 Things Guys Should Know About Girls

1.) For all we talk about how hot guys are. We mostly care about there personality. Though a hot body is a plus

2) We are just as shy as you are about relationships

3) Many of us don't let you see us cry, unless we want you to comfort us

4) We like dropping small flirts, to see if you are interested. But we will later deny it or make it into a joke

5) Most of us prefer to be call beautiful than hot or sexy. But not all of us

6) We only wear mini skirts, tank tops and skimpy cloths for you (unless it's REALLY REALLY hot outside). So if you don't like what we wear say something likely look really nice today, but you know...I think I like you in jeans better'

7) We travel in groups for one of two reasons 1) because we want to share some form of gossip with each other or get advice on something 2) B/c we don't want to get caught by ourselves with you because we won't know what to say and are afraid we'll make a fool of ourselves

8) Cool MOST girls spend about 15% of the time thinking about specific guys, 20% thinking of guys in general, 25% thinking of how to get guys to notice us and what to say when we do, 30% of the time TALKING about guys (even if someone else isn't listening), and 10% of the time doing something else

9) Girls automatically assume that all guys are ***** and only want to get into our pants until you prove otherwise (and even then some small part of us still thinks that)

10) Most girls are under the impression that guys only want skinny 'hot' girls

11) Most girls enjoy being paraded around once in awhile in front of your friends. We enjoy having you show us off to your friends, kind of like, 'Hey, look at my hot ass girlfriend! Aren't you jealous?" But we don't enjoy being nothing but a trophy girl

12) Nicknames like "Babe, or darling" are safe to call just about any girl. But beware of "Princess or Angel". Some girls will take offense to this thinking you are calling them to innocent or incapable of taking care of themselves.

13) Speaking of nicknames, almost every girl has ONE nickname that they just love to be called

14) Most girls will drop lots of hints to tell you that they like you, but won't come right out and say" I like you" or "I love you". If you think they like you, there is a good chance they do.

15) Scenario time! -You like a girl named Ashley, Ashley has a friend named Brenda. Brenda comes up you in the hall and asks "Do you like Ashley?"

More often than not in this scenario Ashley asked Brenda to ask you because she is to shy to ask you herself. And even if she didn't the first thing Brenda is going to do with your answer is tell Ashley. Now you are thinking "WHAT!? NO!! DON"T TELL HER THAT!!!" but in reality, this is a good thing. Because there is a good chance she already likes you. And if she doesn't, she will now be looking at you in a different way, and let me tell you. It's a lot easier to fall for a guy if you already know they like you. So its safe. So go ahead and tell Brenda that you like Ashley. Take a chance.

16) Girls hate it when guys say perverted things.

17) Girls love to feel special, even though they might not show it

18) Girls talk about everything with their girl friends. So unless you tell us not to tell them about something, they WILL know about it within 3 days. And if you are the girl's boyfriend, that means, you're possibly 90% of their conversation. And believe me, trash talking takes up most of it, unless you're a Greek god, which you're not...

19) Girls hate guys with bad hygiene.

20) Girls love it when a guy pulls them close by the waist

21) Most girls like a guy that will willing dance with them, even if he doesn't know how

22) Usually, when a girl is sarcastically mean to you, it means they're attracted to you, but are afraid that they'll be showing too much

23) A kiss on the hand with the right timing can be a REAL TURN-ON

24) Some girls can think about their crushes for 18+ hours straight. No exaggeration

25) When a guy says something really sentimental, girls will remember it forever

26) Girls get embarrassed easily, even if guys don't know what the hell just happened.

27) Girls daydream about their crushes ALL the time. They just don't show it.

28) When a girl is upset and wants you to listen, she wants you to listen. She doesn't need you to fix it or tell her how to. She just wants you to listen.

29) When a girl is crying, she feels a lot safer if you pull her close and tell her that everything is going to be all right. And more likely than not, it will endear them to you more than anything else.

30) Girls love it when guys say their name

31) Girls love confidence

32) When a girl cooks for you, you know you mean a lot to her

33) Girls hate it when other girls flirt. Yet they flirt themselves too. Ah, the beauty of irony

34) We don't enjoy talking dirty to you as much as you enjoy listening.

35) Saying something sweet might get you off the hook; doing something sweet will always get you off the hook.

36) Size does matter, but only to hoes; not girls that want relationships.

37) No matter what you say, your ex-girlfriend is a hoe to us. Not because we don't like your taste in women, because believe me WE do! its just that...we don't want to have to wonder if she is better than us. And if she is a hoe, we are better. So it makes things simple for us.

38) We are self-conscious by nature; we can't help it. But we CAN try and hide it.

39) Even if you think it is cool to burp, fart, or emit other strange gases from your body, it is not. Though we sometimes will tell you it is.

40) As far as you are concerned, we are beautiful at all times, and don't tell us different, unless you make it sound like a compliment (even if it isn't) Like, "You were really pretty yesterday when you wore -insert clothing/accessory here-, I think you should wear that more often"

41) Whatever you do, don't just show up at our house unexpected or at least without ringing the door bell...we run around in our underwear just like you do. And no matter how much you would like to see that, we will likely never talk to you again

42) DON'T CHEAT ON US. It may seem foolproof, but girls tell each other everything about everything. Trust me, they WILL find out and you will be dirt.

43) We want you to beware of every male relative and all guy friends. All of them would kick your ass at the drop of a hat, and a lot of them wouldn't even wait for the damn hat. We just don't want you to be too obvious.

44) We enjoy being kissed by you in front of your friends. It makes us feel like you care a lot about us.

45) You don't have PMS; so don't act like you know what it's like. Don't try to understand...believe me you never will.

46) Violent statements like "If that guy keeps looking at you, I'm going to tear his head off" are appealing

47) We don't want you to say you love us if you don't mean it

48) We love it when you make eye contact with us while we talk.

49) Most girls are afraid of losing our independence to guys (for some unknown reason)

50) If you ask a girl out directly, more likely than not, she will say yes to you. Even if she only has lukewarm feelings for you, because it will give her the chance to get to know you better and get to like you even more.

51) Most girls love it when guys ask them for advice.

52) Girls like it when you tell us what you are thinking, even if you don't understand it yourself

53) After you've been dating for a while, realize that we really have started to trust you. When you have a girlfriend who truly trusts you, you have a lot more responsibility, privilege and control than you would think. Be careful with it, most guys would kill for that kind of power, and it can be lost in a nanosecond

54) There is nothing wrong with being attentive and sensitive. However, this behavior can be carried too far. You don't have to hang on our every word or give in to our every whim. The thrill of the chase doesn't end after the first successful pick-up line. If you don't present us with some minor challenges, we're likely to get bored, or worse, feel that you're creepy and obsessive.

55) Variety is the spice of life. There are patterns underlying what your woman says she likes and doesn't like. It would benefit you far more to try and discern the nature of these than to repeat everything she admits to enjoying until she no longer does

56) Most men think the chase ends once they have us, but truly it has only just began.You must work even harder to keep us then you do you earn us. We not some trophy you can earn,put on a shelf and admire. You have to care for us like the living human beings we are.(see 54)

57)WHEN WE SAY NO ITS NO, SO STOP ASKING!!!

58)If someone flirts with you, its a complement. If you're not interested, accept it but dont flirt back.

59)The woman in your life needs to hear how you feel about her, and often. Tell her now

60)All women are complicated, and it is doubtful any man will ever fully be able to understand us.But we know that, so its going to be ok...

3 Women Charged with Raping Men

Three women in Zimbabwe have been accused of raping at least four men to obtain their sperm for traditional rituals.

The women, whose trial began Monday, are collectively charged with 17 counts of aggravated indecent assault.

Police say the women may have been part of a nationwide syndicate that used the sperm for traditional rituals in the belief they make people lucky and wealthy.

The women were arrested in a town 170 miles outside of the capital city of Harare after police found 31 used condoms in their car.

The suspects in the case have denied the charges, claiming they are prostitutes and did not have time to dispose of the condoms.

“Are we not suspects until proven guilty? It’s as if people have already made their judgments and found us guilty,” said Sophie Nhokwara, 26, one of the suspects, in an interview.

At least nine men have come forward as being victims with similar stories of being attacked.

Kelvin Hazangwi, national director of the Padare Mena’s Forum on Gender, said male rape is still a taboo subject in Zimbabwe.

“I’ve noticed that the men who have come forward are really traumatized after seeking medical assistance of these rapes and need counseling,” Hazangwi told ABC News. “Some of them, their partners left them and they could not go back to their families. Their social networks have broken down.”

“This case is shocking not only for the men but also for the society as a whole,” Hazangwi said. “Many people drove to the police station just to get a glimpse or a view of the women that would rape men.”....

Breaking News: 36years old Lady Resurrects after 11 days in Mortuary

A 36 year old woman has resurrected in Uzuakoli, near Umuahia, capital of Abia State, after staying for eleven days in the mortuary in Ibadan, Oyo State. The woman, Mrs. Charity Chigoziri Obioma, a member of the Cherubim and Seraphim Church, died on November 15, 2011 after undergoing a heart surgery at the Kanu Nwankwo Heart Foundation in Ibadan while her remains were deposited in a mortuary. She came back to life on November 25 at Ubani, in Bende Local Government Area of Abia State, a few kilometres to her home town while the corpse was being transferred to a local mortuary in preparation for her burial. On the way, she sneezed seven times in the ambulance and suddenly sat up on the stretcher.

At that moment, there was total panic and fear as the ambulance driver, her husband and a friend accompanying them were awed beyond belief. Mrs Obioma who spoke at the district branch of the church, said all she could remember was a man taking her from one place to another in the world beyond and showing her very many things and complaining of the evil deeds in the world. Before then, the man took her to a hospital theatre where an operation was carried out on her and all the ailments removed. According to the Special Senior Apostle, of the church, Emma Agomuo, “This is the great miracle of God, it is real.

The woman sitting before me and the husband are witnesses to the miracle that happened. I was informed by the Chief Army Salvation of the church that she actually died because I officiated at her wedding in 2007. When I was told she died, I felt very sad, and because of her commitment to the things of God, I promised to officiate at her funeral. Since I know of her activities on earth, I was confident that she would go to heaven. Only yesterday, someone called from London that she watched an on line programme that a miracle happened in my Church in Umuahia, while another person called to say I must come and witness it myself. Now that you people are here, I want to hear from her how she travelled to the land of the dead and back to life. Maybe she has a message from God.”

According to Mrs. Agomuo, “I don’t know what really happened to me. I did not even know when I was taken to the hospital. All I can remember is that somebody wearing a white robe and whose face I could not recognize gave me a helping hand. He took me away and to several places both spiritually and physically. “There were people I went to in the dream and others I visited physically at that period in time.

Such people can attest to it. I visited them in the dream, gave instructions and told them what to do. There were people I went to physically and they saw me and even shook hands with me. There was a woman I met and removed needles from her waist. I went into the wilderness and gave her a message in Lagos and they all saw me as a living person. I gave her appointment and she visited me as a living person. After that, I still went back to where I was and they did not know they were interacting with a ghost. By then, some people knew that I was dead, but the particular persons I visited were not aware of my death. “I went on daily lectures and it was this particular man who took me to all the places. He told me that I should not withhold whatever he was telling me to people of the world..

He said that he was very angry with all things he complained about and I promised to do that. Within the period, I would come to my husband and tell him he should not be afraid, that Jesus is alive. The stranger said he is angry with the world, including myself because we do not pay our tithes and many married men run after other people’s wives while married women go after other people’s husbands. He said Satan uses the activities of such persons to make a boast before him that his creations are disobedient. Before I went for the heart operation, I had a dream and told my husband that, if I did not come out alive, he should always trust in God to do his best..

I told my mother the same thing and asked them to pray for me and which they did. When they were making arrangements of buying a casket to bring me back to the village, I twice told them I did not want to travel back in a casket and that I should be deposited in a mortuary of their choice and wait for day of my burial if God so wishes it. They kept to my instructions. While traveling home eleven days after my death, they never knew what happened and I did not know either. “I used my hand to open my eyes, after frantic efforts.

The people at home were expecting my corpse that day, but I turned out to return a living being. I was really impressed because I never knew so many people loved me that much. They only saw me alive rather than my corpse.” The husband, Mr Obioma, said immediately they reached Ubani-Ibeku, near Uzuakoli, she sneezed seven times and started making efforts to sit aright from her lying position. The driver of the ambulance, a Yoruba man became very afraid and I told him not to be afraid and that God is in charge..
