  • I don’t get toasters anymore, a lot of them are intimidated-Erica Nlewedim

    I don’t get toasters anymore, a lot of them are intimidated-Erica Nlewedim

    Erica Nlewedim, a former Big Brother Nigeria (BBNaija) housemate, has revealed that she has stopped getting toasters ever since she participated in the 2020 edition of Big Brother Naija.

    Erica made this known during ‘I said what I said’ podcast.

    Asked how she handles male attention, she said:” A lot of people are intimidated so I don’t get toasters anymore.All my toasters I miss you come back”, she said.

    Her statement has triggered various reactions on social media.

    @Arijubi wrote: There are loads of rich single men looking for decent hard working ladies to marry, they don’t toast you anymore because they watched you and don’t want to die young. There is no one intimidated by any lady because the worst you will say is NO”.

    @Nwodimchizoba said: Maybe they have seen that you are not well trained . Moreover, nobody wants a mannerless being

    @Double_pedigree added:” Intimidated… You that showed the whole world how confused you’re… Nigerian men admire confused women from afar, they don’t go close

    On September 6, 2020, Erica got disqualified from the BBNaija show after she got a third strike. Her strikes were for using vile words on fellow housemates, verbally abusing Laycon and disrespecting the HoH lounge. At the time, she had already garnered a large fanbase who gave her the nickname, Star Girl.

    Her hardcore fans, Elites, believed that she was the star of the show and despite her disqualification, they still helped her to smile to the bank through a fundraiser.

     

     

     

     

  • Why Do Men Stop ‘Chasing’ in Relationship?, By Michael West

    Why Do Men Stop ‘Chasing’ in Relationship?, By Michael West

    By Michael West

     

     

    “I keep wondering what is the matter with men. When they want an affair with you they will bombard you with calls, messages on WhatsApp and Messenger. They monitor you closely, approach you tenderly, lovingly and promising. But the moment you say ‘okay, let’s see how it goes’ and the relationship is on course, the chasing will stop. The calls will sparingly come. You will then be the one chasing them around, trying to know their whereabouts and be sure they are okay. I’m not saying they will stop seeing you or not giving you attention but the chasing and intermittent calls, visits and hanging out will drastically reduce if not totally ceased. As a man, why do your guys behave like that?”

     

    This was a poser I received early in the week during a discussion on intricacies of relationship. Besides, this issue is a common complaint from women which I want to attend to today.

     

    Two things are involved here, the woman enjoys the chasing as it makes her feel good, desired and love. The man, on his part, goes hunting for who he likes and feels fulfilled for achieving his desire. Therefore, while she still wants the love game of ‘chasing’ to continue, as a winner, the man relaxes and prefers to consolidate his gains. He cherishes his new “catch” and appreciates her but the babe wants more than the normal communication. She expects his calls, chats and messages to continue like when she hasn’t consented. It took a long time for me to know that women feel sweet being chased by their admirers and suitors.

     

    In 2017, I was engaged by a man to mediate in the troubled relationship of his friend. The man said he was to be his friend’s Best man during his proposed wedding. He said he was tired of settling quarrels and didn’t want the relationship to collapse. Their parents refused to wade into the matter because the couple didn’t want them to be involved in it, yet, things were falling apart.

     

    It was funny to discover that the basis of her altercations with her fiancé was that she suspected her man was seeing someone else, otherwise why did he suddenly changed his communication patterns? “He wasn’t calling me as he used to do. We rarely hangout like before. Nobody can convince me that he is not seeing someone else because I know him so well.” The surprised guy vehemently denied the allegation but the fact that he was no longer doing what his bride-to-be wanted made him a “suspect.”

     

    She calmed down when her man took the Holy Book and swore by it that he was not involved with any other woman. The man became troubled. “I can never imagine that because my calls were no longer coming per hour is why my dear was ready to crash our future life. This is unbelievable!” He said. She was murmuring though not strongly contesting what her man has said. She cited two cases of men who were caught cheating on their fiancées. “Their women suspected them and the men later admitted and apologised because they stopped being romantic just the way you also stopped being romantic,” she explained. That was why she believed that consistent pressure would make him admit and confess to unfaithfulness. I asked if his confession or admittance to the allegation was just to have his peace, of what benefit will it be to her? I then cited cases of husbands who keep their homes by offering apologies and admit to some allegations just to make their wives feel good and to maintain peace. It is not every admittance of wrongdoings by men that are true. Of course many could be genuine but there are those who have devised admittance and apologies as the shortest route to peace in their homes. Now that he had sworn to prove his innocence what next? She knelt down and apologised. End of story.

     

    Women are not realistic sometimes when dealing with their men. Men have their own mood swings sometimes. Women should observe their men closely before rushing to conclusions. That he’s not calling like when he was chasing you is normal with men. When you throw stones and sticks at a ripe mango on the tree, will you still be throwing stuff at the mango tree for nothing after plucking the fruit? The next thing is to go home, rinse the fruit and savour the meaty fruit with ease. That’s the case with men when they achieve their desire by having the woman of their choice. What next is nurturing the relationship to fruition.

     

    Conversely, some women also lack communication skill. The need to keep in touch is key. Men should call and be in touch but it is not a crime if women do the same. Nobody is marking register for calling. Now that you’re in relationship, things should flow mutually and not be one-sided. An average man is busy; he needs to work to take care of himself and even his woman. It is a matter of mutual understanding.

     

    Besides, relationship leading to marriage is a serious business. Crying over iced cream and shawarma should stop. Rather than investing her time on planning and working on her dream home, inanities and frivolities are what she’s running after. Who still burns the night candles after the exams are over? Nobody! The chasing period is akin to night reading and once the result is out, should one still be reading all-night again? No! Subsequent reading is either for pleasure or preparation for the next level of life.

     

    Baba Ijesha Vs Princess:

    The Season Film Begins!

     

    Like I noted last week in this column, the scandalous story involving comedian Omiyinka Olanrewaju James a.k.a Baba Ijesha and comedienne, Princess, over the allegation of defilement of a minor in care of Princess is far from being over. In fact, the season film has just began! Like a chameleon, the story is changing colours with surprising twists to the narrative.

     

    Interesting stories are emerging on why Iyabo Ojo appears to be crying more than the bereaved in this case. Princess is being portrayed of being untruthful in the whole saga as “those with damning evidences” are waiting for the arraignment of Baba Ijesha in court to testify.

     

    There’s contention about the actual age of the girl in question. Those who claim to know say she was 17 when Baba Ijesha had carnal knowledge of the girl. They dare Princess to produce the girl’s birth certificate or subject her to laboratory examinations. They also insinuated that she took in for Baba Ijesha and alleged that Princess aborted the pregnancy.

     

    On a national television station, Princess alleged rape: first, she said Baba Ijesha lapped the girl and made her to ‘ride his horse,’ and then she said Baba Ijesha used a key to penetrate the girl. How coherent or sensible these statements are to convince the public I don’t know. But those challenging Princess and Iyabo Ojo are refuting their rape allegation. “It was consensual,” they claimed. They derided the use of key by Baba Ijesha on the girl as “rubbish.”

     

    I called Baba Ijesha’s two lines, one rang but no response, the other was switched off. Yomi Fabiyi has been too busy to allow us talk about the matter because I want to know what they know beyond what is trending on social media that emboldens them to stoutly defend Baba Ijesha this much.

     

    The season film is out, happy viewing.

  • El-Rufai: “The evil that men do…” By Enyeribe Anyanwu

    El-Rufai: “The evil that men do…” By Enyeribe Anyanwu

    By Enyeribe Anyanwu

    “The evil that men do lives after them” is a famous quote from Julius Caesar, one of the political plays of legendary playwright, William Shakespeare. In the play, Anthony, Caesar’s friend, is ironically vilifying Brutus and his fellow conspirators for murdering Caesar, but to the conspirators Mark Anthony is referring to Caesar whose murder they had tried to justify before Roman citizens.

    In the view of a literary critic, “the evil that men do lives after them” is a true statement because the evil of people’s actions lives on in the consequence of those choices and deeds long after the person is gone. In other words, the effects of people’s poor choices and wicked actions resound for days, months, and years as those left behind deal with the consequences of the evil committed.

    True as this statement is, it has been modified further to accommodate the present. It is no longer the people the evil doer lives behind that deal with the aftermath, but the evil doer himself also lives to face the consequences of his evil deeds. Hence in this modern time, one can hear: “the evil that men do lives with them.” This modification aptly fits Nasir El-Rufai, the present governor of Kaduna State, as he grapples with the outrage that has continued to trail the unrelenting attacks and abductions of Nigerian citizens in Kaduna State vis-a-vis his stance not negotiate with bandits.

    In the last few weeks, bandits have been on the rampage in Kaduna State, abducting students of tertiary institutions. The most recent of these abductions is the mass abduction of students of Greenfield University out of which five of them have been killed, and the bandits threatening to kill all if their demand is not met. The students were killed because the governor has vehemently refused to negotiate and even threatened to prosecute anyone that negotiates with the bandits. To him, the only answer to the bandits is total annihilation. While insisting he would never negotiate with bandits or terrorists, El-Rufai has continued to talk tough against the bandits. This is regardless of the fact that he has no means of exterminating them neither does he control the apparatus that should be used in accomplishing the task. This, he has voiced this several times.

    On its face value, El-Rufai’s stance or argument makes sense, especially his insistence that payment of ransoms to bandits cannot stop banditry. Instead it will further empower them and equip them to commit more atrocities. Payment of ransom, he insists, amounts to rewarding the criminals for their heinous crimes against the state and humanity. This is a sound argument to which many people subscribe.

    Unfortunately, as things stand, El-Rufai and his government have no alternative, especially as human lives are at stake. Nemesis appears to have caught up with him because of his caustic words for former President Jonathan. He is now face to face with the famous statement by Shakespeare quoted above.

    In 2014, in the wake of the abduction of the Chibok girls, many of whom are still in Boko Haram captivity, Nasir El-Rufai was very harsh on President Goodluck Jonathan whom he accused of negligence and apathy over the abduction. El-Rufai had vehemently and arrogantly urged Jonathan to negotiate with the terrorists to secure the release of the Chibok girls.

    “Whatever it takes to rescue those girls should be done. If one of these girls was Jonathan’s daughter the story will be different, the only reason these girls are still in captivity is because they are not the daughter of any important man in Nigeria and we know it,”El-Rufai had bellowed.

    He went further: “I am in support of any option, you have lives of your citizens at risk, you should not take any option off your table, you should be flexible, you should listen, you should negotiate and look the price you have to pay and get the girls out, you should not say you won’t do this, you won’t do that, it’s irresponsible.”

    Six years after this outburst and insult on the sitting President, fate has brought El-Rufai face to face with Jonathan’s dilemma. The choice he was pushing Jonathan to make is what is facing him now and he has refused to budge. And no one has told him that it is irresponsible to take any option off his table; that he should be flexible, that he should listen and negotiate since the lives of his citizens are at stake?

    It’s so sad that not even the killing of five of the abducted students, the future leaders of the nation can move El-Rufai to reconsider his position. Instead he has continued to infuriate the bandits, telling them that what they deserve is death and not the N800million they are asking for, when all he can do is talk and hold meetings.

    El-Rufai’s reaction to the video making the rounds in the social media where he was making the call on former President Jonathan to negotiate with Boko Haram terrorists is worthy of mention. His reaction to commentators on the video who have condemned his past and present action is a measure of what has become the hallmark of the present administration in the country, that is, diversion of issues. According to his Special Adviser on Media and Communication, Muyiwa Adekeye, El-Rufai’s invectives and advice to Jonathan was based on what he termed Jonathan’s “initial refusal to acknowledge” the abduction of the Chibok girls, which he said Nigerians appear to have forgotten.

    But while diverting attention and trying to whip up sentiments against Jonathan, he could not deny that it is still citizens’ lives that are at stake, and that no option should be taken off the table to secure the lives of the abducted students. However, like his compatriot, Pantami, El-Rufai is telling the nation and the entire world that time has changed his opinion and stance on preserving human lives and pampering and rewarding terrorists and bandits.

    But, however, Nasir El-Rufai tries to justify his stance of annihilating the bandits who are holding and killing his citizens as against securing the lives of the citizens first, he cannot get away with the judgment of history, and the stark reality that the evil that men do lives after them.

  • Single Women Pant: ‘Where are the Men?’, By Michael West

    Single Women Pant: ‘Where are the Men?’, By Michael West

    By Michael West

     

    Even in a situation of famine, epidemic or civil unrest, people still crave for their desires and fulfilment. The rate might be much lower compared to peaceful and stable atmosphere; but despite the confusion, insecurity and looming economic doom, it is somewhat interesting that single women are still longing for relationship. This goes to show that all hope is not lost on Nigeria and her resilient citizens.

     

    I decided to discuss this issue because I have been receiving calls from some single women (widows, single mothers and mature singles) who had previously indicated interest in subscribing to Hook Up in anticipation of getting responsible partners and companions. They asked to know if the service is still available and why there seems to be a lull on the scene.

     

    The truth is that men are still available but many are no longer ready. Reason: post-Covid-19 economy appears to have declining effects on their income as they experience dwindling business activities. Some have lost their jobs while, as at today, a number of them are struggling to survive with mounting bills to pay. Feelers from eligible bachelors and single dads show that the situation is challenging for many of them.

     

    Some of such men have been asking for help in the area of job placements and contract offers. “I need to be stable economically before I can think of engaging any woman in a serious relationship,” a 37-year-old man who was laid off last year August has said. He explained that he calmed down on the issue of relationship in order to rebuild his economic life; adding that he will reactivate his request as soon as he’s fairly stable.

     

    A single dad who said “bringing a woman into my life now is like trying to mess up myself. Will she feed me and my children? God forbid! I’m almost through with the project I started last year. As soon as it is done, I will be ready. I hope the lady we talked about the last time is still available?”

     

    An aviator who lost his job three weeks to his formal introduction said he was yet to consummate the relationship due to economic factor. “I hope she will be patient with me, otherwise she is at liberty to go. Thank God that we were yet to do the introduction; if we did, I’m not sure how we will be able to cope. She was managing at a private business where her monthly take-home was barely enough to cover her transportation. Unfortunately, the owner of the business has closed shop since last year. She’s now into some networking businesses while prospecting for another job.” Last week, he called to tell me that he had secured a new job. When will he settle down with his waiting bride? “Not so soon. I need to be back on my feet financially before anything can be done in that regard. And if she can’t wait, she’s free to go.”

     

    Even married ones are not left out of the economic quandary. “I regret getting married. If I knew things will turn out this bad in Nigeria, I would not have married when I did. I was gainfully employed and living relatively comfortable some years ago. I had the option of leaving the country in 2013 when the exchange rate was N160 to a dollar but I thought Nigeria will experience a better economic management with more opportunities for everyone to thrive when a new government takes over in 2015. I chose to stay back on my job while my closest friend and my younger brother resigned from their jobs and left the country.

     

    “Today, I did not only lose my job in the aftermath of Covid-19 lockdown having suffered two pay cuts between 2016 and 2019, my family life is facing economic challenges. I barely could feed my family. I owe some debts and there’s no help coming from anywhere. May God have mercy on me because I placed so much hope in Nigerian government. Perhaps my poor judgment of the situation at the time got me here.” This was the lamentation of a reader who needs a new lease of life.

     

    In view of the prevailing situation, is it possible for women to start relationships with jobless or economically weak men? Are they ready to shoulder the responsibility pending when their men will bounce back? Most of the women’s responses were almost the same.

     

    “Why not? I can cover up for him if he is the reliable type. Men do not worth such a sacrifice. They will appear humble, loving and ‘faithful’ only for as long as their poverty lasts. It would have been okay if they only cheat on you, they may jilt you outright and move on with their lives as if nothing has never connected them with any woman before. Painfully, they usually they go for the type of women that won’t even acknowledge their greetings when things were rough with them. So, who loses? Women, of course. That’s the reason I won’t do it for just any man but for who I’m convinced won’t betray me.”

     

    A 31-year-old nurse said “I will make him to take an oath before I go ahead to endure hardship with him. I will support him with my earnings and everything I have but if he should deviate from his promises and the oath he took, he will face the consequences. Jilting me won’t hurt me much because I know he won’t go scot-free.”

     

    On Wednesday, while I was concluding this column, a caller asked to know if he could go ahead with a lady he’s dating. He asked because he’s afraid that in case inter-ethnic strife breaks out in Nigeria he wouldn’t want to lose his family to another ‘country’ outside his own region. He confessed that though he loves the young woman but the insecurity situation in the country is making him to think twice about marrying outside his native language and region. To be candid, this line of thought got me thinking. This is an unwholesome trajectory of our chaotic socio-political situation.

     

    Truly, no responsible man will enter a marital union jobless. Stable sources of income are key. Even the Bible says he that fails to provide for his own family denies the faith. So, no man should marry unless he’s economically independent. That’s not to say the woman can’t support the family but the man as the head must be responsible.

     

    Women should also accept the reality that maintaining the home requires joint efforts. Leaving the man alone to shoulder the responsibilities may slow down the pace of progress. There is a woman who kept her children at home when they sent them out of school for school fees. Rather than pay the fees pending when her husband will get the money, she maintained a straight face and spent her money on her business. To such moms, it is a thumb down.

     

    I’m sure single and available men still desire marriage or companionship. However, I will advise that while working hard for economic survival, they could as well keep their relationships going. It could be a sour experience for any man to be disrespected by his wife on account of financial incapacitation. This has been the case with many men.

  • Men masturbate with my pictures- Uju Mandy

    Men masturbate with my pictures- Uju Mandy

    Busty Nollywood actress and social media influencer, Uju Mandy has stated that men masturbate with her pictures.

    “I get lots of funny messages on my Instagram page. In fact, it is an everyday thing. I just read them and laugh. But the most embarrassing message I received recently was when a guy sent me a DM saying he uses my pictures and videos to masturbate. I was shocked!” Mandy told The Sun.

    Speaking further, she revealed that she has taken a break from acting.

    “For now, I have taken a break from acting because it’s not easy. Acting is not easy at all because of sexual harassment. I need to put myself together before going back to acting. Some movie producers would not let me rest. But I am not in for that kind of lifestyle because I value my body a lot. My body isn’t for everyone. Only people that deserve it can have my body.”

    Mandy also said that her former lovers run back begging for another chance: “Yes, why not? They do. I don’t accept my exs back. Once we break up, I don’t know you again. They always want to come back and have more of me, but I don’t give them that chance. Even now, I’m not in a hurry for marriage. I’m still young and have a very bright future. I need to make money before settling down with anyone.”

     

  • Incest: A Soaring Sexual, Family Absurdity – Michael West

    Incest: A Soaring Sexual, Family Absurdity – Michael West

    By Michael West

    It is rudely disgusting reading stories of incestuous relationships in families in our society these days. It is happening as if the taboo has become a norm. The ugly incident has become a daily news item in the media. Why this is so deserves to be looked into, and attempt to address the moral plague.

    What is it that should attract a father to his own biological daughter? Whatever her age, beauty, body features, height or natural endowment, I still can’t come to terms with any rational opinion about it. Sincerely, I don’t know.

    I can’t fathom the urge that would make a dad develop a sexual intimacy with his own blood. It is even more disgraceful when the shameful act involves the minors and teenage girls. I want to believe that such dads need psychiatric examinations. No sane father, in his right senses, should think about it much less engaging in it.

    There are factors that can trigger incest in a family. One, it is used as part of rituals for initiation into secret cults. Two, it is used for money, political and fetish rituals.

    “The regrettable aspect of this ugly situation is that such randy men hardly get punished for their indecent behaviours. Rather, the cheated wives and moms will either fight their daughters or send them away in order to “keep their homes.”

    Three, it could be a spiritual attack, a curse or spell in operation in the affected family blood line. Four, it is a psychiatric disorder which manifests in form of emotional misadventure and sexual insanity. These four factors are my findings when I subjected the circumstances and confessions of some of the culprits to critical analysis and psychological discernment and evaluation.

    I learnt of some rich men whose daughters are their sex partners. I was told of a particular billionaire whose daughter will fly to meet him wherever he is around the world whenever she has the urge for sex. Whether it is true or not I don’t know but the gist was rife in social circle some years ago. We have also read about some allegations in the media involving dads and daughters. At some point, eligible bachelors were not keen on marrying the daughters of the rich due to this reason. The suspicion is fading away as guys now hunt for such babes targeting the financial benefits that would naturally come with such relationships.

    About four years ago, a 24 years old young woman was having an affair with her dad in Kenya. This particular case was none of the four reasons I adduced for the growing taboo in Nigeria. When she was put on live radio interview on Hero FM, she was not ashamed to own up for sleeping with her dad. She said her reasons for having an affair with her dad were that “dad was good in bed, he has a huge and satisfying dick, and in addition, he gives me money.”

    When asked how the affair started, she explained that she actually seduced her dad because she envied her mom. She’s of the opinion that her mom didn’t know how to maximize the natural endowment of her dad, more so, “he gives me money unlike my boyfriend who doesn’t give me money.” Though she was in a state of discomfiture when she was told that her boyfriend, whom she thought was in the dark about the affair, actually gave the presenter the information and used the opportunity to call it quit with her.

    She revealed that she was using her boyfriend as a smokescreen to shield her secret affair with her dad. She added that because her dad was a businessman who travelled a lot, she found it convenient to go and meet him wherever he was. She mentioned a particular hotel in Kenya where she had a weekend romp with her dad. What eventually became the situation in the family I don’t know by the time her mom, who didn’t know anything of such was happening under her nose, listened to the interview on radio and the scandal went viral on the internet. This evil is happening in many homes unannounced.

     

    I don’t want to load this article with media daily reports on the absurdity. This week alone, a number of such cases have been reported. Just imagine a 49-year-old dad who sexually abused his 12 years old daughter for a crazy reason that his wife is no longer attractive to him. According to the report, the 12-year-old girl actually reported her 49-year-old father, Ubong Akpan, to the police for violating her for five years since she was seven years old. The girl said she could no longer bear the constant sexual molestation again hence she decided to complain to the police.

     

    The Ogun State Police Command, through its spokesman, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the incident last Monday in Abeokuta. “Upon the report, the DPO, Itele-Ota Division, CSP Monday Unoegbe, detailed his detectives to the scene, where the suspect was promptly arrested. On interrogation, he confessed to the crime and claimed that his wife was appearing too old and no longer looking attractive to him,” Oyeyemi said.

     

    A woman called me a couple of years ago that she was contemplating poisoning her husband because he was sleeping with their first daughter. Narrating the situation in tears very early in the morning, she said her husband no longer hide it. “Around 2am, I just woke and I didn’t see him by my side in bed, I stood up to check where he was, as I approached the children’s room, he just emerged from the room tying his towel not minding my presence. He went straight to our bedroom and slept off. I went inside to check my daughter, her under was wet with sperms. She looked at me, sobbing. My girl is 14 years old, Michael West help me.” (She wept profusely).

     

    Similarly, some randy stepfathers are involved with their stepdaughters in immoral sexual affairs. Just like the Kenyan case, some wayward girls don’t mind sharing same men with their moms provided the men are the type they lust after. An undergraduate almost ruined her mom’s marriage. The secret was leaked that her husband, the supposed dad at home, was the same man her daughter saved his contact as “Microchip” on her iPhone. Reading through the chats on her WhatsApp page, the mom collapsed. It took her friends and family doctor to stabilize her condition two days after.

     

    The unfortunate story I heard about a man who married a single mom because of her pretty young daughter was disheartening. The man really gave hope, comfort and new lease of life to her and her two children. It was impossible for the man to marry the 19-year-old girl while he was 48 years old. He endeared himself to the girl in particular such that she was known as “daddy’s favourite.” By the time the secret got leaked barely a year into the marriage, the man declared to his wife that “if you will not allow this (affair with her daughter to continue quietly), then, the marriage is over. I married you because of her.” I was told she wept and remained in moody condition for almost a week before she let him have his way, painfully though.

     

    The regrettable aspect of this ugly situation is that such randy men hardly get punished for their indecent behaviours. Rather, the cheated wives and moms will either fight their daughters or send them away in order to “keep their homes.”

     

    Such wicked men should be exposed, prosecuted and punished. Mothers should keep an eye on their adventurous and loose daughters. Pretending that all is well when it is not, is delusional.

    I bought my house with my money, not from men – Nengi

    Beautiful Big Brother Naija lockdown finalist, Nengi has reacted to the claims that her house was bought with money she got from men.

    TheNewsGuru recalls that Nengi had weeks ago shared a post on Instagram in front of her new house.

    This generated diverse reactions on social media from fans who probed the source of her money, alleging that ‘Sugar daddy’ bought it for her.

    Nengi who has been mute about the accusation on Sunday stated that she bought her house with her hard-earned money.

    The reality star made the revelation during a stage performance at the recently held AY LIVE show.

    She dared any man who claims to have given her money for the house to speak up.

    Hear her “I do not need a man, I have my own house, and I bought it with my own hard-earned money.

    “If you’re a man here and you contributed one Naira to my house and you don’t talk now, God will punish you.”

    Amotekun arrests two men caught having sex in Ondo

    Men of the Ondo State Security Network , Amotekun Corps have arrested two men caught having sex.

    The duo, Seyi Balogun aka Amunidara, 42, and Tosin Arifalo,18, were arrested at Kajola in Ijoka area of Akure.

    Speaking to newsmen, Balogun, a native of Isua Akoko, claimed that it was Tosin that lured him into the act.

    “I was never into it before, it was Tosin that came to me saying he loved me. I don’t like homosexual act, he seduced me, he lured me into it. I told him to give me rest of mind, but when he was threatening me I have to obey him. Since then, we have been having sex together. What I can say is that the devil caused it, and I have warned him not to come to my house again,” he said.

    However, Tosin from Iro in Akure, said he was lured by Balogun into having sex with him three times.

    Tosin stated that anytime Balogun wanted to have sex with him, he would take him to his house at Kajola in Ijoka.

    He further said that Balogun introduced him to one of his friends, Olojijo, who had sex with him many times.

    Both men have been handed over to the Ondo Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps for investigation and prosecution.

  • Study reveals how COVID-19 infection may reduce fertility in men

    Study reveals how COVID-19 infection may reduce fertility in men

    COVID-19 infection may damage sperm quality and reduce fertility in men, according to a new study based on experimental evidence.

    The viral disease — which has swept the globe, claiming nearly 2.2 million lives — can cause increased sperm cell death, inflammation and so-called oxidative stress, researchers reported Friday in the journal Reproduction.

    “These findings provide the first direct experimental evidence that the male reproductive system could be targeted and damaged by Covid-19,” the authors concluded.

    Experts commenting on the research, however, said the capacity of the virus to compromise fertility in men remains unproven.

    COVID-19 causes respiratory illness, especially in older people and those with underlying medical problems.

    The world has seen more than 100 million confirmed cases since the disease emerged in central China at the end of 2019.

    Transmitted through respiratory droplets, the disease attacks the lungs, kidneys, intestines and heart.

    It can also infect male reproductive organs, impairing sperm cell development and disrupting reproductive hormones, earlier studies have shown. The same receptors the virus uses to access lung tissue are also found in the testicles.

    But the effects of the virus on the ability of men to reproduce remained unclear.

    Behzad Hajizadeh Maleki and Bakhtyar Tartibian from Justus-Liebig-University in Germany searched for biological markers that might indicate a negative impact on fertility.

    Analysis done at 10-day intervals for 60 days in 84 men with Covid-19 was compared to data for 105 healthy men.

    In the Covid-19 patients, sperm cells showed a significant increase in markers of inflammation and oxidative stress, a chemical imbalance that can damage DNA and proteins in the body.

    ‘Strong note of caution’

    “These effects on sperm cells are associated with lower sperm quality and reduced fertility potential,” said Maleki in a statement.

    “Although these effects tended to improve over time, they remained significantly and abnormally higher in the Covid-19 patients.”

    The more severe the disease, the bigger the changes, he added.

    The male reproductive system “should be considered a vulnerable route of Covid-19 infection and declared a high-risk organ by the World Health Organisation,” Maleki said.

    Experts not involved in the study welcomed the research but cautioned that more was needed before drawing hard and fast conclusions.

    “Men should not be unduly alarmed,” noted Alison Campbell, director of embryology of the CARE Fertility Group in Britain.

    “There is currently no definitive evidence of long-lasting damage caused by Covid-19, to sperm or male reproductive potential,” she told the London-based Science Media Centre.

    The results could have been skewed, she added, by the fact that men recovering from Covid were treated with corticosteroids and antiviral therapies, while the control group was not.

    Allan Pacey, a specialist in male reproductive medicine at the University of Sheffield, raised a “strong note of caution” on how the data was interpreted.

    Some of the indicators of decreased sperm quality could be due to factors besides Covid-19, he said, noting that more men in the Covid-19 group were overweight.

    The simple fact that only one group was very sick — no matter the cause — also needed to be taken into account, he added.

    “We already know that a febrile illness can impact on sperm production, regardless of what caused it.”

  • Men who move from woman to woman should not be blamed-Halima Abubakar

    Men who move from woman to woman should not be blamed-Halima Abubakar

    Sensational actress Halima Abubakar has said that men who jump from one woman to another should not be blamed.

    In an Instagram post on Tuesday, the role interpreter asserts that it is a way the universe tells them they need a new man.

    She wrote: “Don’t blame people who jump from one girl to another. Sometimes what they really want is another man. Don’t hurt yourself. Dust yourself and move on.”

    Back in April, Halima revealed why she kept her pregnancy off social media.

    “I kept it away from social media because it’s not their business. The first time I made a post about expecting ‘a mini me’, I was pregnant at that time but I was actually talking about a dog. I had bought a dog then. They (bloggers) ran with it and said I was pregnant. I just kept quiet about it and said thank you to all the prayers. I don’t think it’s okay to shove everything down people’s throats on social media. I am a businesswoman, so for me, social media is to interact with my fans and clients.

    “I advertise for a lot of companies and I am a brand ambassador to over 20 brands. I am always working and I think I overwork myself. Posting about my pregnancy would have been too much because I already advertise for brands and I didn’t want to choke anyone. People just say what they want to say. I am a homely person and I love how my life has changed. I had to train myself to this point and I have done a wonderful job.”
