Piers Morgan weighs in on Kanye-Wiz-Amber spat


Trust him to have an opinion on everything. Always interesting to read though. Below is what he wrote on UK Daily Mail about the twitter fight between Kanye, wiz Khalifa and Amber last night...
"‘Are you OK mate?’ I tweeted to Kanye West last night.
He’s not really my ‘mate’, I guess.
But I’ve met him a few times, and get on very well with his wife Kim Kardashian.
The reason I asked such a simple public question was because I follow him on Twitter and he appeared to have taken sudden and dramatic leave of his senses.
In an explosion of tweets, Kanye went after his big rap rival Wiz Khalifa in spectacular style.
It was the nearest thing to verbal social media diarrhea that I’ve ever witnessed.
Tweet after tweet after tweet burst out of his feed, the mood and tone of Kanye’s thought process swaying between blind rage, sneering insult, and finally pure viciousness.

He slayed Khalifa for everything from his music and fashion to his weight, wife and young son.
There was just one problem.
Kanye had got it all horribly wrong.

His ire was sparked by a tweet from Khalifa which said: ‘Hit this kk and become yourself.’
Kanye, who dated Khalifa’s estranged wife, the model Amber Rose, for two years, assumed this was a derogatory reference to his own wife Kim.
It wasn’t.
It was a reference to cannabis.

More especially, Khalifa’s own strain of cannabis, Khalifa Kush, which he has been very publicly marketing for some time.
But in the very singular, self-absorbed world of Kanye West, there is only one ‘kk’ that matters and it’s Ms Kardashian.
This is not the first time Kanye’s gone berserk, of course.

He’s an unpredictable, emotional, spontaneous maverick who often does and says things before his considerable brain has properly engaged.
It’s what makes him one of the most compelling and engaging stars in the world, and I for one, greatly enjoy his talent and his erratic behaviour.

But as I was chuckling away at this Twitter tantrum, he suddenly wrote something which made me stop laughing.
It wasn’t the ‘you let a stripper trap you’ jibe about Amber Rose, distasteful though that was. She can look after herself as she made very clear by the eye-wateringly explicit tweet she fired back at Kanye last night concerning his alleged sexual proclivity.
(Amber Rose filed for divorce from Khalifa in 2014 but it was never finalised and there have been numerous rumours recently that they are reconciled).
No, it was Kanye’s next tweet: ‘I know you mad every time you look at your child that this girl got you for 18 years.’
Soon followed by this: ‘You wouldn’t have a child if it wasn’t for me.’
And then this: ‘I own your child!!!!’
That child, Sebastian Taylor Thomaz, is two years old.
I’ve no problem with a couple of famous rappers going after each other in public.
But I have a big problem with one of them using an innocent two-year-old boy to do it.
Especially when the perpetrator is himself a very protective father of two young children.

Kanye was not, as some instantly and sensationally assumed, suggesting with the phrase ‘I own your child’ that he’s the boy’s father. He was sneering that if he hadn’t split from Amber Rose, then she wouldn’t be with Khalifa and there would be no child at all.

But that perhaps deliberate ambiguity may be lost on many.
After 30 minutes of abuse spewing his way, Khalifa finally tweeted ‘KK is weed fool’ to Kanye. At which point there was a temporary cessation in hostilities, presumably as the dime slowly dropped all over Kanye’s gold jewellery-laden head.
When he returned to Twitter, his tone was dramatically different.
‘I love Wiz,’ he declared. Something which wouldn’t have been immediately apparent from the apoplectic cyperspace onslaught he’d been waging against him just minutes before.
‘I love all my brothers, and all the people, and I love the world,’ added Kanye. ‘All I want is peace and positive energy.’
Riiigght.
Again, not an immediately obvious mission statement from a man who had just tweeted, ‘Don’t ever ever ever come out the side of your mutherf***ing neck bro or bruh’ at his new great love.
Kanye then announced he had deleted all his insulting tweets.
‘It’s all about positive energy, blessings blessings, positive energy blessings,’ he explained. ‘I’m happy that I now know that KK means weed…please excuse the confusion….’

Hmmm.
Not so fast, Mr West.
I can excuse almost all your excess.
I even laughed my head off when you ambushed Taylor Swift on stage to ruin her big moment at the VMAs, not least because you were right that Beyoncé should have won Best Female Video that year.
But I can’t just laugh off the way you dragged a little boy into your war with a love rival.
Just as I loathe and detest parents who use their children as battering rams against each other in divorces, so I loathe and detest big stars doing the same to score cheap points in Twitter feuds.
I’ve always thought that Kanye West is a pretty classy guy beneath all the bluster; a stupendously gifted musician, snappy dresser, brilliant entrepreneur, evocative speaker, incurably romantic husband and doting father.

But by targeting young Sebastian in such a despicable manner, I lost a lot of respect for him.
It was a pathetic, petty and woefully insensitive thing to do.
I hope Kanye wakes up today after a thoroughly disturbed sleep, reflects on what he did, and makes a full and sincere apology to that boy, and to his father Khalifa.
He won’t want to; Kanye is about as big on apologies as Donald Trump.
But it would help restore the damage that his indefensible comments have caused, not just in the moment but forever. Those deleted tweets have all been screen-shot for posterity, meaning that when he’s older Sebastian will inevitably read them and wonder what exactly the legendary Kanye West meant when he said he ‘owned’ him?
Kanye, I know you genuinely believe you are the Muhammad Ali of the music business, Greatest of All Time.
Not least because you reminded us of this very fact in the middle of last night’s rant.

But last night, I’m afraid the only title you won for yourself was a rather simpler one, comprised of two words ironically also beginning with the letters ‘KK’.
King Klutz."

My husband is obsessed with having sex: Woman explains

A Harare man reportedly gave his wife a thorough hiding after she denied him sex.

William Madanire allegedly demanded the money he paid as lobola from his wife Diana saying the money was meant to buy sex.

Diana told Harare Civil Court magistrate Ms Gamuchirai Siwardi on Monday that William sexually abused her and would force her to bed him or risk being assaulted.

She was seeking a protection order against William.

“He assaults me and is forcefully having sexual intercourse with me even when I am not in the mood,” Diana said.

“If I refuse he assaults me and demands the money he paid as lobola saying he paid the money so that he would have sex whenever he wanted. He also assaults me in front of our children. He once followed me to church and assaulted me in front of the congregation.

“He even assaults me for refusing to give him money to buy cigarettes and he insults me using obscene words. I want the court to stop him from assaulting me especially for refusing to have sex with him because he sexually abuses me,” she said.

William did not oppose his wife’s application for a protection order but told the court that he no longer abused her.

“I am not opposed to her application but some of the things she is saying happened a long time ago,” he said. “I have never abused her this time.”

Ms Siwardi ordered William to stop sexually abusing his wife and respect her as his wife.

In a separate case, another woman yesterday cried at the Harare Civil Court pleading with the magistrate to order her husband to have sex with her.

Margaret Makusha could not hold back her tears while telling magistrate Ms Gamuchirai Siwardi that her husband, Joseph, denies her sex.

She said she was being sex-starved and could not live without enjoying it every day.

Margaret, who was seeking a protection order against Joseph Makusha, told the court that he assaulted her whenever she begged him to have sexual intercourse with her saying he was tired.

“He is my husband and he refuses to have sexual intercourse with me,” she said.

“He comes home late and when I ask for sex, he assaults me saying that he is tired and needs to rest. He said I should behave myself but he is starving me because I cannot live without sex. I no longer know if he is still my husband.

“The other thing is that we tested HIV positive and he is telling everyone that I am positive. I also think that he has girlfriends who satisfy him sexually.

“That is why he is starving me. Your Worship, I just want him to have sex with him as my husband,” Margaret said.

Joseph refuted the allegations. He told the court that Margaret was too demanding and would not give him time to rest.

“I dispute all what she has said,” Joseph said. “I have never refused to have sex with her but sometimes I would be tired and she forces me.”

“Maybe she is not satisfied with what I am giving her,” he said.

Ms Siwardi postponed the matter to today for ruling.

OMG !!! 32-year-old Man Rapes Own Mother


A 32-YEAR-OLD man from Bulawayo has been arrested for allegedly raping his 53-year-old mother.

The man, from Cowdray Park suburb, appeared before Magistrate Abednico Ndebele charged with raping his biological mother.

The incident happend on January 18 at the mother’s house in Nkulumane suburb.

The rape suspect, a mechanic who cannot be named to protect the identity of his mother, was not asked to plead but told the court that his mother was framing him.

“I didn’t do it your worship. I don’t know why she is saying I raped her. When she is fighting with my father, she gets me involved in their issues for no reason at all,” he said before he was remanded in custody to February 10.

The man’s mother, in a statement to the police, said her son came into her room while she was sleeping and raped her.

“He came into my room at around 7PM and shouted at me when I asked who had entered. He then jumped into my blankets and slept on top of me.

“He had sexual intercourse with me without using protection. I did not refuse or scream because I feared for my life as he has assaulted me before,” said the mother.

Prosecuting, Mufaro Mageza told the court that on January 18 at around 7PM, the man went to his mother’s home and found her asleep.

“Accused jumped into the blankets and got on top of the complainant who was wearing a petticoat. Accused had sexual intercourse with the complainant once without her consent. The matter was reported to the police leading to the arrest of the accused,” said Mageza.

The prosecutor said the mother was referred to Mpilo Central Hospital and a medical report can be produced in court as an exhibit.

Woman strips son naked and drags him to school for stealing her N5k


I'm sorry, I would never support stripping and humiliating a child in this manner. I think stealing from his mum was absolutely horrid but there are other ways to punish a child other than stripping him naked. Plus he's 9. Many of us stole from our parents when we were that age or a little older. Our brains don't function properly at that age...meaning we don't know better! Mum shouldn't have done that!

EFCC operative batters teenage canteen attendant, after impregnating her


According to PMNews, there was a show of shame recently at the Awolowo Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, premises of the EFCC, after Okeke Edward, who works as an exhibit keeper with the EFCC, allegedly battered Blessing Nwokpa, a 19-year old canteen attendant, he allegedly impregnated.

Blessing was a canteen attendant at the EFCC premises and was living with Edward as a squatter. Edward, who refused to take responsibility for the pregnancy, allegedly offered her money to terminate it, but Blessing refused. For her stubbornness, she became an object of battering and assault by him. .

She was subsequently thrown out of his house at 23, Akinseji street, Fadeyi. Now 7 months pregnant, Blessing became homeless and could not feed herself after she was sacked from the canteen when she became pregnant. Frustrated by Edwards action, she went to his office to request for money for feeding and antenatal care. .

But when Edward sighted her, he descended on her and battered her to the extent that she collapsed and was later rescued by some senior officers. Following the assault, Blessing went to the Legal Aids Council of Nigeria to report the matter.

Blessing said Edward was the one who offered to accommodate her after seeing her sleeping inside the canteen when her brother, whom she was staying with, had accommodation problem. She alleged that during the night, Edward would lure her into sex and eventually deflowered her and impregnated her.

She said when she informed Edward about it and he became angry and gave her N18,000 to go and abort the pregnancy but she refused. She lamented that she starves daily and she was not asking him to marry her rather, she wants him to take care of the pregnancy and after she delivers, she would look for ways to move on with her life. .

She said people directed her to Legal Aids Council to complain and seek their assistance, but when the Legal Aids Council invited Edward to settle the matter, he told them that he would not come and boasted that nothing would happen.

Story of maltreatment of a young maid in Kaduna (photos)




A LIB reader sent in the story. Read below...
"I met this little girl who happens to be a maid for a certain family in my neighborhood here in Mahuta District, before Refinery junction, Kaduna South. This little poor girl is named Veronica Beatrice, 12yrs. She is from Bacca Local Govt in Jos.
She is in serious pain out of the maltreatment she receives from her madam. According to the girl, she said that her madam stopped her from going to school for 3days now just because she took some bread after her madam gave her a small piece that she ate and she was still hungry, so she decided to collect more.
When her madam returned back home and found out, she gave her the beating of her life and asked her to do frog jump, dig her own grave and made her carry mutter (used in pounding fufu) on that same hand that she used in digging her grave.
According to the girl the name of her madam is Omolara, and the husband's name is David Kelvin and the husband is from Jos too.
This is child abuse in the on the highest level and I pray the appropriate government organization to take up this case and come to the aid of this poor little girl.

There is a snake in my body says victim......



MASHUDU Mavhona is living a lonely life of hell.
The 47-year-old from Atteridgeville in Tshwane told Daily Sun her ex-boyfriend put a spell on her and she has been living in pain and shame ever since.
She said there was a snake inside her, eating her!

Mashudu said she couldn’t work because the snake moved in her head and stomach, causing unbearable pain. She said she was forced to lie in bed all day.
Mashudu said things started going wrong when she separated from her lover two years ago.
“I found out he was cheating on me and I dumped him. Ever since then, I have been in pain every day,” she said.
“If no one helps soon, I will die. I have seen sangomas, doctors and even prophets. They said they didn’t see anything wrong with me.”
However, one prophet told Mashudu someone had sent an evil spirit to make her suffer for the rest of her life.
“I’ve turned to Daily Sun because I’ve seen how people get helped by SunReaders. I need help before it’s too late,” she said.

Traditional Health Practitioners Council chairman Bigboy Mudau said the evil spirit wanted to see Mashudu living without a man or a proper job.

“People like her have short tempers. She must consult a strong sangoma before it’s too late. The spirit is very dangerous and can cause madness,” he said.

Check out What Witch doctor reveals interesting things about popular pastor TB Joshua



Prophet TB Joshua who is the founder of Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), has come under fire several times for allegedly hiring people to pretend to be sick and disabled and then claim to heal them during his prayer meetings.

Kwaku Bonsam, who operates from a shrine at Sa-Peiman, a village on the outskirts of Nsawam in east Ghana, is assumed to be a very strong witch doctor who is also called ‘Devil of Wednesday’.

Apparently, this Ghanaian priest is said to be very powerful, that he has claimed he’s the ‘spiritual father’
of some of the most powerful preachers in Africa.
Here’s what the priest had to say:

“Over 1, 700 pastors and so called men of God from different parts of Africa have approached me, seeking powers to perform miracles, including Prophet T.B Joshua from Nigeria. He is my boy. I challenge him to come out and deny this. Apart from the pastors, many prominent business people and celebrated church founders in Africa frequent my shrine for my services and if they deny, I am going to name them.”
Kwaku Bonsam went on to say that his god is called Kofi-Kofi, and he fortifies him with supernatural powers which he in turn provides to pastors across Africa.
The question is, why would he choose to threaten to expose his ‘dedicated’ patrons?

Prepare For Hard Times Ahead… CBN Warns


The Monetary Policy Committee of the Central Bank of Nigeria has warned Nigerians to brace for a longer period of low revenue from oil sources, which would necessitate hard and uncomfortable choices.
The committee, at the end of its first meeting for 2016 in Abuja, observed that while the period of low oil prices, which started in 2005, lasted for a maximum of eight months, the current situation was expected to continue over a longer period of time.
The CBN Governor. Mr. Godwin Emefiele, further disclosed that
the development would necessitate huge sacrifices from Nigerians. Crude oil prices had declined from a peak of $114 barrel in July 2014 to $30.25 per barrel on Tuesday, January 26, 2016.
The CBN governor said since oil prices is on a steady decline, certain trade-offs would have to be envisaged and accommodated.
He said, “Consequently, it is imperative to brace for a longer period of low government revenues from oil sources, which would necessitate hard and uncomfortable choices as the economy transits to more sustainable sources of revenue, consistent with the economic realities and strategic objectives of the country. In the circumstance, certain trade-offs must be envisaged and duly accommodated.”
He added, “Consequently, the bank is fine-tuning the framework for foreign exchange management with a view to ensuring a more effective and liquid foreign exchange market, taking into account Nigeria’s strategic development priorities, with the policies being designed within an environment of regularly ensuring consistency with monetary and fiscal policies.”

He continued, “To this end, the committee once again urged the Deposit Money Banks to improve lending to the real sector as part of their patriotic obligations to the country, and enjoined the management of the central bank to continue to explore ways of incentivising lending to employment and growth-generating sectors, particularly the SMEs.”
Asked if CBN would consider forcing the banks to lend to the real sector, Emefiele stated that inasmuch as it would prefer that the DMBs should increase lending to the real sector, it would be practically impossible to force them to do so due to the fact that the banks were established to make profit.
Emefiele further revealed that, “We don’t have any immediate plan to devalue the naira. However, we are already working on different scenarios; the models are being worked on.”
On the introduction of the N50 stamp duty charge, Emefiele explained that the decision was taken to support the Muhammadu Buhari government in its bid to generate more revenue due to the drop in oil prices, and build some very important infrastructures that would be beneficial to all Nigerians.

Catalog police ends Eiye confraternity, sex-trafficking in Spain.



Catalan Police have busted a sex-trafficking group in Spain known as the Supreme Eiye Confraternity (SEC), or the Air Lords following a raid on their residential building.
BBC’s Sam Piranty was given access by the Catalan police, Mossos D’Esquadra, to an investigation into a Nigerian sex-trafficking gang. He spoke to traffickers and women rescued from sexual slavery before filming an early morning raid in November, which led to 23 arrests. He also discovered that the gang is now using London as a gateway into Europe.
It’s 08:00 in the Catalan Police Headquarters on the outskirts of Barcelona and Xavi Cortes, head of the anti-trafficking unit, waits patiently for his 22 teams to confirm they are in position. Finally, he gives the order.
Two-hundred-and-fifty officers quietly climb out of their police vans. Single file, each team approaches a residential building watched by a few surprised neighbours.
On reaching the door, one of the masked police officers uses his fingers to count down. Three, two, one. The door is knocked down, the silence shattered, the officers rush inside.
The raid results in the arrest of the leaders of a Nigerian-based group running an international sex-trafficking ring in Barcelona.
It’s known as the Supreme Eiye Confraternity (SEC), or the Air Lords, and 23 people are now behind bars, with European Arrest Warrants issued for those who have left the country.
This operation was 18 months in the planning and involved monitoring more than a million phone calls, tapping dozens of mobile phones and months of surveillance.

 Some seized Nigerian passports held as evidence
Cortes and his team first came across the group in 2011 during a forgery investigation, but quickly discovered it was a huge network trafficking women and drugs.
He asks me to look at his screen. On it is a map detailing all the locations they have identified where members of the SEC operate. Cities are marked in Europe, North, West and East Africa, North and South America, the Middle East and Asia.
Eiye in Yoruba, the main language of south-western Nigeria means ”bird”. The group’s insignia is an eagle and each city containing members is called a ”nest”, with the ”mother nest” in Ibadan, about 100km (60 miles) north-east of Lagos.
The group was started at the University of Ibadan in the 1970s, and the original intention was to make a positive contribution to society. Over time, however, many members went astray, committing violence in Nigeria and delving into crime abroad.
The group now traffics human beings and narcotics (cocaine and marijuana) and forges passports. It has also facilitated the transport of stolen crude oil into Europe.
“They are able to earn money in many ways, but we are focused on human-trafficking and the victims.”Says Cortes.


His second-in-command, Alex Escola, then tells me something remarkable.
”You know, one of the tappings showed us that last year, on 7 July, around 400 members of SEC met in Geneva. They had a big meeting, all together.”
Xavi Cortes, Catalan police says Eiye Confraternity uses forged documents and passports from Nigeria to fly into places like Gatwick – these need co-operation of people working in the government
It was an audacious display of arrogance. In a city where many of the world’s global institutions are headquartered, including numerous UN agencies, a global criminal institution held its own parallel international gathering and no-one tried to stop it.
Benin City, Nigeria, is a human-trafficking hub, and a good place to observe how the criminal operation works.
After long negotiations, our team manages to speak to a recruiter, whose job it is to find girls. The recruiter explains that they either approach girls directly or through their families offering fake jobs abroad in a supermarket, or as a cleaner.
However, not everyone is tricked. Many women approach the recruiters themselves, often in full knowledge that they will be working as a prostitute in Europe. Some parents, also aware of this, approach recruiters on behalf of their children.
