Jealous Ex Sets Estranged Husband, New |Lover And Daughter Ablaze!

A woman in a jealous rage after losing her husband to another woman has landed herself into serious trouble in Ghana, West Africa, after she was arrested for allegedly setting her husband, his new lover and their daughter ablaze which lead to their death.

According to reports, the victims; Peter Amos Asobayire, 35; his wife, Felicity Asobayire, 25, and their two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Sarah Asobayire, were burnt beyond recognition.

It was gathered that the suspect, Efua Badu, 33, popularly known as Saman Kwenim was reported to have set fire to a can of kerosene and threw it through the window of the uncompleted building which the family lived in at  Dome CFC at about 2 a.m. Monday.

According to Graphic Online report, two other occupants of the building, Tanko Asobayire, 28, and Michael Amanguri, 25, escaped unhurt as they were said to be sleeping in another room in the building.  

Badu, a chop bar operator, was said to have been married to Asobayire for seven years, during which period they had two children, a six-year-old boy and a two- year-old girl. Asobayire is alleged to have recently informed the suspect that he was no longer interested in their marriage. 

The Accra Regional Police Commander, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) Mr Christian Tetteh Yohuno, told newsmen in Accra yesterday that Asobayire allegedly sacked Badu from their abode and brought in his new wife, Felicity. He said the suspect became offended on hearing that her husband had brought in a new woman. According to the police commander, the suspect claimed she decided to burn down everything in the house to teach the man a lesson. The suspect, he said, also claimed that she set a can of kerosene ablaze and threw it into the room, thinking that there was no one in the room. Mr Yohuno said the suspect claimed she took to her heels on hearing of screams from the room. 

According to Mr Yohuno, preliminary investigations by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) led the police to arrest the suspect after it had emerged that someone might have set the family ablaze. There were fresh burnt marks on her hand and cheeks when she was arrested, but the commander indicated that the suspect earlier denied the charge, but after thorough interrogation she allegedly confessed to committing the crime.

When the Daily Graphic visited the scene around 2 p.m. yesterday, residents of the area had gathered around the entrance of the house discussing the issue.  

It was observed that property running into thousands of cedis had been destroyed by the fire, while some materials believed to be the body parts of the victims were seen. 

An eyewitness who pleaded anonymity, the fire began at approximately 2 a.m. Monday.

  

Cultists issue death threats to youth ‘corpers’ in Kogi!

The compulsory one year youth corp program which all college graduates under the age of 30 must undergo might be a nightmare for some ‘corpers’ serving in some parts of Nigeria.

According to a blogger, Linda Ikeji, a mail was sent to her by a batch A Corp member serving in Victory Model College, Efodo – Okpo, Olamaboro L.G.A of Kogi State.

The Corper complained about the death threats they have been receiving from secondary school students in the school which was their place of primary assignment.

According to the Corper, the unidentified students wrote death threats on the board in the school’s classrooms and right now they are scared for their lives and what the students may do to them and have gone into hiding.

Read the mail below:

It’s no good news to hear that NYSC Corp Members are treated with discontentment in Kogi State, especially in remote local government like Olamaboro.

There have been cases of some drunk youths ganging up to launch attack on corpers at their capital project sites, accusing them of integrating strange norms into their culture

Let me go straight to what I witnessed this morning. I woke up this morning like every other boring mornings in the village where I serve, dressed up, and went to the school. On arrival, all the students were gathered at one corner looking at me and the other Corp members, some with satisfaction, while others with pity.

On getting to the class rooms, we saw some write-ups directly warning me and other three (3) batch A Corp members. The pictures attached to this email will help tell the story better (even with the wrong English).

As am writing this report, four(4)  of us (batch A) and two (2) other batch C corpers are on hide out, praying God to intervene on the issue.

Batch A passing out parade (POP) comes up on the  13th of February, and the question is why would people whose lives we have impacted for close to one year decide to reward us with death threats?

Pope Francis graces Rolling Stone magazine cover!

Pope Francis became the first pontiff to grace the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. 



Though it is reportedly a typical picture of the pope, smiling and waving, above the cover line, "The times they are a-changin.'

But this is one popular pope. Only last month he was smiling from the cover of Time magazine as its 2013 "person of the year." And that was his second Time cover appearance last year.

Rolling Stone is a rock music magazine, so it is a landmark decision to feature him.

Inside the magazine is a 7,700-word profile by contributing editor Mark Binelli, who writes: "In less than a year since his papacy began, Pope Francis has done much to separate himself from past popes and establish himself as a people's pope."

‘Gov. Okorocha caused all my problems’ – Man caught trying to sell his 7 children laments!

Imo state Governor, Rochas Okorocha

A man in Imo is said to have tied his 7 children to a wheelbarrow in a bid to find buyers for them. It was gathered that 44-year-old Israel Dike tied the children’s hands and was on his way to an unknown destination with them when he was intercepted by officials of the Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development.

Dike is said to have attributed his actions to his “dwindling economic fortunes” and he also blamed the state Governor, Rochas Okorocha for not fulfilling a promise he made to him. 

According to information received, the 44-year-old man, Israel Dike, is a native of Odenkume, Obowo Local Government Area of Imo State, but resides in Ugwu Ekwema, Egbu Road, Owerri. The children’s hands were securely tied to a wheelbarrow while the man was soliciting for buyers for the children, saying he was fed up with his dwindling economic fortunes. 

A staff of the ministry said: “Following a tip off, a high powered team led by the Commissioner for Women Affairs, Mrs. Nma Onyechere, quickly went and rescued the children.” 

Apart from disclosing that he planned selling some of them with a view to enabling him take proper care of others, Dike equally lamented that Governor Rochas Okorocha put him in the mess he has found himself today. 

“Owelle Okorocha is the cause of what I am passing through today. He made me a promise in the past and has failed to redeem it till today,” Dike said. 

Speaking to newsmen at the scene, the commissioner described Dike as a “depressed man, who is mentally deranged.” 

While urging Dike’s wife to go for family planning, the commissioner equally promised that government would carefully ascertain the level of the man’s mental problem. Answering a question, Mrs. Onyechere said the ministry would find a way of giving out the children to foster parents with a view to ensuring adequate care and their education.

Media Mogul, Oprah Winfrey turned 60!

Oprah Winfrey reached a personal milestone on Wednesday, Jan. 29: her 60th birthday. 



The TV mogul reflected on her life's biggest accomplishments in the January 2014 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine.

"Sixty. I'm turning 60 this month! I'm so glad I've lived long enough to say those words and celebrate their meaning," she wrote before the big day arrived. 

"I'm turning 60. I'm alive. Healthy. Strong."

"I'm turning 60, and—please don't take offense—I no longer have to be concerned about what anyone thinks of me! (You know, the old Am I doing it right? Am I saying it right? Am I being what or who I'm 'supposed' to be?) I'm turning 60, and I've earned the right to be just as I am," she continued. "I'm more secure in being myself than I've ever been."

What really happened between 9ice and I – Tony Payne opens up on cheating allegations!

Toni Payne just can’t seem to catch a break. The ex-wife to musician, 9ice recently came under fire again for saying that women shouldn’t leave a cheating man.

This made a lot of people assume that she was supporting infidelity especially because of the widespread belief that she cheated on 9ice and so caused the end of her marriage to him.

Toni has responded to her critics and she has decided to address the cheating issue “once and for all”:

Excerpts from her blog below:

I have learned over the years that you pick your battles. I have also learned that it is wise to ignore certain things, but when that certain thing is something that could impact another being negatively, then I would be doing a disservice by ignoring. I woke up this morning to a tweet by a twitter follower of mine (blazingpearl). She had retweeted a friend who retweeted a quote that was supposedly said by me.

Apparently some blogs are touting the idea that I am okay with cheating. “Toni Payne Said, do not leave a cheating man” Toni Payne said its okay to cheat”. I have NEVER in any way shape or form, condoned cheating. It is hurtful, wrong, can be dangerous and I do not advise anybody male or female to cheat on their mate. I know different people used different headlines to address my tweets.

I am only referring to those blogs whose headlines on twitter said I was okay with cheating. To those who quoted me without saying I was okay with cheating. Thanks for staying within the professional lines. My tweets were about self love. We cant deny that not everyone leaves a cheating spouse. The point I was trying to make was, if you decide to stay, please work on loving yourself instead of being miserable because your man is creeping. That is IF you decide to stay. I am not here to judge anyone who wants to stay with a cheating spouse, we all know what we can endure in life and we all know what makes us okay as individuals.

I felt like tweeting advice that may or may not help someone that may be going through some difficult times. You never know who is reading and I feel some words I have stumbled on have helped me too so why not. I really don’t want to stop tweeting advice because of some mischievous few, but misconstruing my words on such a sensitive topic is irresponsible.

I talk about my experience because that is what I have to share. I can not speak about someone else’s opinion or experience. Only mine!Speaking about your experience in life does not mean you are dwelling on it. It doesn’t mean you are insecure, foolish, or you don’t know what you are doing. It simply means, you are wiser, and wisdom is a lot of times earned via learning from experience.

To those who still believe I cheated on my ex. I am sorry to disappoint you, I NEVER cheated on my ex-husband. Its not who I am, it will never be who I am. Tell yourself 1 million times, Toni Payne cheated, it will never make it true. Nobody caught me in any lie, or in any bad situation, nobody slept with anyone he was close to.

Sometimes, men want their freedom, and the fact is you cant force them to stay. Same goes for women. Everyone wont have a perfect relationship, not everyone will stay married forever, we can only aspire to.

 I am truly tired of this topic but since it seems to keep popping up, I felt it is best to finally address it properly. If anyone decides to hang on to the lie after this, that is their own cup of tea. I have a talk show to record, poetry to write and a child to raise. she twitted.
