    I am happy about being pregnant outside wedlock- Uche Ogbodo

    Actress, Uche Ogbodo has stated that she is happy being pregnant outside wedlock despite being unmarried.Ogbodo made this known in a chat with The Sun.

    In her words: “I have many reservations on the issue of marriage right now. You know, marriage is something that I wanted to try, but it didn’t work out initially. I’m not even thinking about it now but I’m very happy about having a child as a single mother. It’s fine if marriage comes later. So many women are depressed and looking old and haggard because of marriage and pregnancies. In Africa, we believe that it’s only a married woman that can get pregnant.

    In fact, that’s what our parents taught us.But to whose detriment really? To the girl’s detriment of course. So many have become aged, many have entered menopause without kids just because they were waiting for men to marry them before they get pregnant. Who says that men don’t come to women who have kids? Even while I’m pregnant, men still come after me. So, what’s going on? There’s still time for marriage, I’m still young and beautiful. I can still get married anytime I want. But I have my kids, they are blessings to me.”

  • Police dismiss female officer for getting pregnant few months after graduation from college

    Police dismiss female officer for getting pregnant few months after graduation from college

    The Police Command in Ekiti on Thursday justified the dismissal from service of a police constable, Miss Olajide Omolola.

    Omolola reportedly got pregnant in an alleged violation of subsisting Police Rules and Regulations.

    Omolola, who was attached to the Iye Ekiti Police Station in Ilejemeje Local Government Area of Ekiti, was reportedly dismissed by police authorities for getting pregnant barely a year after graduating from the police academy.

    But speaking with newsmen in Ado Ekiti, the Police Commissioner in Ekiti Mr Babatunde Mobayo, said that Omolola violated Section 127 of the police regulation.

    According to him, the violation attracts serious punitive measures against anyone that contravenes it.

    He said that the rules and regulations were unambiguous that woman police must undergo post-training experience on the field for at least, two years before marriage and three years before childbearing which he said the officer in question understood very well.

    “In police organisation, we have rules and regulations which are being carried out within the ambit of the constitution.

    “The police officers are not even allowed to keep their children that are above 18 years of age in the barracks.
    “Some of these laws were taught in the police colleges before we graduated.

    “These laws have been there. Some stipulated the number of years you must spend before you get married.
    “If you are in police college, you are not supposed to get pregnant.

    “When you passed out, you still need basic training and for your attention not to be distracted, you must spend a certain minimum of a period before you get married for you to perform efficiently.

    “The lady in question passed out in May 2020, which is eight months ago and now she is with six months pregnancy.

    The Police Act 2020, which is undergoing amendment in the Senate has not repealed that; she has contravened Section 127 of the police regulations.

    “Section 126 of the regulation states that married woman police who is pregnant may be granted maternity leave.

    “Section 127 says unmarried woman police who becomes pregnant shall be discharged from the force and shall not be enlisted except with the approval of the inspector-general of police.

    “We can’t shy away from the oath of office we took, but the inspector-general of police can still reverse whatever we do.
    “No fewer than 300 policewomen graduated here last year; how would the public feel if they see all of them pregnant in less than a year.

    “We are not the drafters of the rules, we met them there. All these disciplinary actions are what made us to be able to control our men.

    “No police constable is underage and they should be able to know what to do not to get pregnant within the time prohibited by regulation,” he said.

  • Father of four dies during S3x with pregnant woman inside container

    A 30-year-old father of four has reportedly died inside a container during a sex romp with a pregnant woman at Ijora area of Lagos State.

    It was learnt that the incident occurred on Thursday at Whitesand community at Badia.

    The deceased, identified simply as Akin aka AK, was said to have been found dead, while the pregnant woman was gasping forbreathe.

    The woman, whose identity was yet to be ascertained, was said to have been pregnant for her husband, who later died.

    It was learnt that sympathisers invited policemen from Orile Police Station to the scene while the woman was rushed to a private hospital, where she was recuperating at press time.

    Akin was an agent with Betnaija Lotto, having two staking centres located at 24, Adunni Plaza and Plot 1, Badia Industrial Scheme, Ijora.

    When Akin’s wife heard what happened to her husband, she was said to have rained curses on him.

    She claimed that her late husband had abandoned her with children for three weeks without sending their feeding money.

    Akin owned a three-bed room flat at Sango area of Ogun State, where he resided with his family before his untimely death.

    He was also a merchant in orange business at Orile Iganmu fruit market. Akin was described as a jolly good fellow but a lover of the green bottles.

    Akin’s body was later released to his family members. His remains were interred in his Sango-Ota residence.

    The Coordinator of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) in the area, who gave his name as Mr. Orebintin, said the incident was uncovered when the sales boy, who used the container as his sales centre, resumed for work for the day and found that the container was locked from within.

    Orebintan said all efforts to force the door of the container open proved abortive, until a cardboard attached to the roof of the container was removed.

    The OPC coordinator also noted that the lovers had on a generator close to the container, suggesting that they inhaled fumes from the generator.

    He said: “We are still in shock over how it happened because this is not the first time they have been sleeping inside the container.

    “It was the sales boy who drew our attention to it when he wanted to open the container for the day’s sales that the door was locked from inside. We assisted him by forcing the cardboard attached to the roof of the container open. To our surprise, the man was fond stone dead.”

    The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Bala Elkana, promised to get back to our correspondent. But was yet to do that at press time.
