Broda Alaigboran story ( Stubborn Brother's story Part 3)

Apparently the broda had been with several sisters in church but due to shame most never reported him to the pastor and whenever the pastor called any of the ladies to confirm the rumors they denied it. These broda must be packing something to make church sisters loose their chances of making heaven.

Anyhoo! Broda dumped the sister that sent me a text because she was too possessive but that didn't stop them from shagging. Few moments after we stopped hanging out, his engagement was announced in church. After he was called out, a lot of people expected his fiancé to be the fighting sister, it wasn't really a secret that they had been dating for years. According to her they were dating but he said "She is just a friend" hmmmmm just a friend in sex needs.

The pastor called him and announced his engagement. The fiancé picture was on the projector and the auditorium was filled with hissing, whispering and curses especially from the "church mamas" . They were "śepeing" for him, shame catch me small. They were whispering how he used several girls and decided to bring someone else from Nigeria.  He had been dating her since his university days (shocked that he went to university with his spoken English 🙄🙄🙄) .

We had stopped talking with immediate effect until I bumped into him at the airport. He thought he married an angel from Nigeria to save him from the Nigerian jezebels living in US. He was in for a shock.

Karma serves delicious meal

Broda Alaigboran story ( Stubborn Brother's story Part 1)

The pastor's wife decided to play cupid and introduce me to an eligible bachelor in church. Here I was a fresh graduate making six figure income and wanted to meet a male equivalent of myself or a better version. I got dragged to church by mother who felt that I needed to try the church brothers.

I finally agreed for the pastor's wife  (Mrs Okafor aka GG- God’s General) to introduce me to this guy in church, he was the head of intercession department.  They pray and intercede on behalf of everyone, prayer warrior. He was a janitor at the general Hospital. I agreed to talk to him over the phone.

The conversation was boring!!! I think I got bored once I heard what he does for living and his income and let's not forget his accent wasn't helping. I finally met him two weeks later in church. He DEFINITELY wasn't my type. I couldn't get over the 3 different complexions residue from bleaching! I couldn’t believe it.  Mommy GG told me to over look it and get to know him. I tried my best but all I imagined was what our babies would look like.  Haaaaa God forbid!

Where is my dream man? The Ken to my barbie?

Imagine my surprise when I got a message from a sister in church telling me to back off because he belonged to her.

Broda Alaigboran story ( Stubborn Brother's story The End)

As if finding out the two boys were not his biological children wasn't bad enough.  The judge awarded the house to his wife. The thing was that he moved out of their home and the wife had been paying the mortgage for almost a year.  In the state of New Jersey, that's seen as abandonment so he couldn't lay claim to the house. 

The wife was awarded the custody of the children and granted him supervised visitation rights. Even though DNA test confirmed that he wasn't their father he was still responsible for their care because his name was on their birth certificate. So broda would be paying child support till they are 18 years.

He was beyond broken! No job! No wife! No children! Debt everywhere. He didn't know where to start from.

He asked his wife her reasons why she treated him this way. Her reply shocked him.

She knew about all his escapade. Everyone heard and she became depressed. She had joined a Facebook group called passionate women in Nigeria. A support group where everyone told their stories. She met a lady there who shared her story of heartbreak.  She had met this guy in church, he promised her heaven and earth.  She had trusted him with everything.  He had access to her account. He cleaned her out. She had gotten pregnant for him. She informed him and was expecting a proposal only to be told that he had someone in Nigeria. So she opted for abortion. Unfortunately she developed blood clot and was rushed to the hospital.  She was there for 2 weeks.  He never came to visit her. When she got home, he had moved out. Her money was gone. The police couldn't do anything because she had given him access to her account.  She became suicidal.  The group has been therapeutic for her. She made friends with most of the members.  She became extremely close to the wife, unbeknownst to her, they had one thing in common. They were involved with the same man.

The wife decided to seek revenge. The wife and the woman had developed a strong bond. They were in love with each other.  This was her revenge.

He was a lost soul! He didn't have any reason to live anymore.  He drove to the Newark Bay Bridge to commit suicide.  He got on the bridge and jumped into the cold water where death was ready to accept him....

He screamed so loud that his family came running to his room. No one could calm him down. He was mumbling nonsense.  His poor mother was shouting "blood of Jesus! Jesu gbami! Olorun madojutimi! (Jesus save me! Don't shame me). He finally calmed down.

Lmao!!!! Broda was dreaming! He dreamt all this nonsense up! 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈

He spent the night calling every woman he has ever been involved with to apologize. He went for deliverance.

Remember the Aunty in church who sent me a text to back? Well after the heartbreak, she met a doctor and they got married! Kai see upgrade!!!

As for me I didn't settle for just any man! I met my Igbo fantasy! My beloved Chijioke 🙈🙊🙈🙊😂😂😂.  He is a financial analyst and we are expecting our triplets 😍😍😍😉😉😉

THE END! AS MY NIGERIAN PEOPLE WOULD SAY "TO GOD BE THY GLORY" 😇😇😇😇

From Nigeria to Italy: Women trafficked into sex work tell their stories "I had no choice, I had to pay him... I was like a prisoner"

A Nigerian lady , Victoria, who was told she was going to Italy to study and work afterwards tells her story of how was forced into prostitution and how she sufferered in the hands of her traffickers
''They promised me an education. They promised me if I came with them I could go to school and get a good job" 18-year-old Victoria tells ITV her story from a small cafe house in Turin, a shelter for rescued Nigerian prostitutes.

The promise was the slick patter of a modern slave master, who saw Victoria in her native Lagos back in Nigeria, and realised she was rich pickings. Her trafficker, whom she trusted, said he could get her to Italy.
With little to live for in Nigeria, Victoria found the money to pay and with her head full of teenage dreams of a better life, she went for it. She is one of thousands of Nigerian women who take the gamble every year - the numbers have shot up in the past two years as the traffickers hide their victims in the endless flow of migrants heading to Europe.

Victoria's 2,500 mile journey became an epic of exploitation and abuse. By the time they'd got her to Libya, Victoria had been beaten and forced into prostitution: making money for her trafficker to pay off her now endless debt to him. Her eyes widen as she tells ITV presenter she had no choice. Her dismay is heartbreaking.

"I had no choice, I had no choice! I had to pay him... I was like a prisoner", she said.

But thankfully the shelter we're chatting in is a place of safety. Just a few weeks ago she arrived in Italy by boat via the now well worn route of thousands of Nigerian women. Before the traffickers awaiting her in Italy could pluck her from the crowd, she was spotted by a charity run by Princess Inyang Okokon, who was herself trafficked from Italy to Nigeria, via London, nearly 20 years ago.

Her husband Alberto is happy to admit he was once one of her paying clients.
But when he met Princess, his eyes were opened to the phenomenon of modern slavery: she was trapped in a life of prostitution in Italy, her documents kept by her female trafficker - and with massive debts to pay. He helped her get out. For Princess, Victoria's story is her story.

She and Alberto now run shelters for women just like her, but are feeling overwhelmed by the sheer numbers they are dealing with. The couple took the reporters onto the streets of Turin late at night: in one suburb there is a sex worker on almost every corner - nearly all of them we are told, will have been trafficked from Nigeria.

Wearing barely any clothes, they stoke fires they've made in small oil drums to keep warm whilst they wait for the next car to pull up (see video in the link) Rescuing them is dangerous work: the traffickers watch their every move.

ITV spoke to many of the women Princess and Alberto care for. All of them had tales of rape, beatings, enforced servitude. Two of them had babies with them - thrown onto the boats from Libya to Italy because their trade value went down when they got pregnant in Libya. Every single one of them had been bought, sold, used, and resold. They were treated as goods in transit.

Buhari’s daughter replies Ezekwesili's allegations

Hajiya Hadiza Buhari Bello, daughter of President Muhammadu Buhari  has debunked allegations of franchise infringement by the Bring Back Our Girls group, led by former Education Minister, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili.

Hadiza who is President of theThe Africa Support and Empowerment Initiative (AFRISEI) and  Don Uche, the secretary said their organisation would never engage in illegal activities by stealing someone else’s franchise.

She explained that contrary to the allegation by Ezekwesili, her organization did not need to lean on the BBOG to be of service to the Chibok Girls and therefore had no reason to steal anything from BBOG or use its name to achieve any advantage.

According to her, the Africa Support and Empowerment Initiative has its own defined objectives and that it didn’t need to steal anybody’s ideas to operate in line with its own objectives.

Hajiya Hadiza Buhari Bello and Uche also explained that their  organization is duly registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission and issued certificate of incorporation on 14th July, 2016.

While praising the activities of the BBOG to raise and sustain awareness about the plight of the kidnapped Chibok schoolgirls, the President’s daughter said that their organization had broader objectives beyond the Chibok girls.

They said though the Chibok girls are within the priority of their organization, its commitments to humanitarian causes does not end with Chibok schoolgirls.

“Given the size of the problem at hand, the more Organisations we have assisting Chibok and other devastated communities, the better for the country,” added the statement.

Hadiza Buhari and Uche added that as a charitable organization, AFRISEI is committed to empowering the youth and the less privileged in the area of job creation and skill acquisition.

It is also committed to supporting the education of the less privileged students, giving material support to the downtrodden and the internally displaced persons.

They also said AFRISEI is committed to educating the masses to discourage unhealthy practices such as child trafficking, child abuse, child labour and gender discrimination.

The AFRISEI President and secretary said there is no law that prevents their organization from assisting the Chibok schoolgirls.

As a charity organisation, the group can  offer help to people in distress, including the Chibok girls and the Boko Haram victims, they wrote.

Despite all i’ve been through, I’m happy –Tiwa Savage

Mavin’s first lady, Tiwa Savage, got so many mouths agape when she got an international deal so many of her colleagues only fantasise about.  The singer recently signed an international deal with Jay Z’s Roc Nation Records and some people began to insinuate that the deal might tear Mavin apart just as such deal allegedly tore apart Mo’hit Records which was then run by D’banj and Don Jazzy.

But then, the singer said she wasn’t going to let such apprehension affect the advancement of her career even as she claimed she wouldn’t know what caused the rift between D’banj and Don Jazzy.

“I really don’t think the international deal was what broke Mo’Hits. I would not like to think that and I don’t think any of us can really talk about that issue because it is only the two of them that really know what happened between them. For me, this is a blessing and I would not allow something that happened before to make me nervous. Maybe this is a way for us to get a second chance as Nigerian artistes and second chances rarely happen,” she said.

The singer who has been through the eye of the storm due to her recent marriage crisis told Saturday Beats that despite everything that has happened in her life, she is still happy.

“I am very happy, I am blessed. I have a child and I have no reason why I should not be happy. I have a beautiful, healthy son and a loving family. My career is getting stronger by the day. I just signed an international deal, why shouldn’t I be happy?

“Not everybody loved Jesus Christ, so who is Tiwa Savage in the scheme of things? I am nobody. I am just somebody God has put a talent in. In all honesty, when I encounter negative criticisms, I just focus on the people that love me. You cannot make anyone love you, so I try not to convince people that don’t love me. I would rather focus on the people that love me and make sure I do not disappoint them,” she said.

There’s a level of mental illness in Nigeria –Ajai-Lycett

Veteran actress, Taiwo Ajai-Lycett, is currently unhappy about the current situation of things in the country. She bared her mind on this in an interview with Saturday Beats and according to the thespian, there is a level of insanity in Nigeria that has not been discovered.

She opened up on issues that bothered her as a mother, stating that except Nigeria gets its moral compass right, things would not change for the better.

“There is a level of mental illness in this country that nobody has recognised yet. It is not everybody that you see walking on the streets that is sane. How sane can a man be if he is taking a nine or 14-year-old girl for a wife? Is that person sane?

“As the saying goes, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. That is what we are seeing now. We need to find our moral compass because we have lost it totally. If we don’t find our moral compass, things would not change for the better.

“Now when people have power or money, they try to use that to dominate other people. If the people in power who are supposed to be our reference point are getting away with murder and no one calls them to order, the younger ones might want to assume that same position in future so they can do as they like. You see a situation where people drive against traffic in Nigeria and get away with it, why would you not have everyone go haywire? Why would you not find people defiling young girls? When ministers have meetings and they go to the universities to traffic our girls for their entertainment, how do you think our society is going to be well and orderly if these are the people leading our society?

“The young ones see that those people in power get away with anything and they aspire to be like them. You see people doing nothing in the national assembly but they have a fleet of exotic cars. How much is their salary? Admittedly, they are getting far more than they deserve but in a country where you don’t have good roads, is that their priority? Consequently, the young people would believe that the way to go is to make money by any means. Nobody is thinking about what they can put into the country; instead they are looking for what they can take out of the country. That is what our leaders have done, they have looted the country,” she said.
