Shocking! Women Protest Their Husbands’ Inability to Impregnate Them

Some African women are currently bitter about the unproductive nature of their men in bed which has increased the level of childlessness in the area.

Women in Kenya, Ndeiya ward have said their drunkard husbands are unable to sire children and they may look elsewhere for sober bedmates.

They said their men had abandoned their homes for drinking too much illicit brew. Speaking during a peaceful protest at Thigio shopping centre, one of the demonstrators said younger women are the worst affected as they are “unproductive”.

“If you walk in this village, you will find so many young married women, but only a few are pregnant. Those who are not are suffering in silence because their men cannot perform,”
resident, Nancy Wangare said.

She said men had been drinking anything alcoholic to keep them high, but the society bore the consequences of s*xual dysfunction.

“It would not be a wonder if we start looking for men to sire our children. Our husbands will not know anything. We will trick them that the pregnancies are theirs and they will support us,”
Wangare said.

Novak Djokovic beats Andy Murray to win sixth Australian Open title


World number one Novak Djokovic beat Andy Murray in straight sets to win his sixth Australian Open title and condemn the Briton to a fifth final defeat.

The Serb, 28, won 6-1 7-5 7-6 (7-3) to claim his sixth Melbourne title, tying the record of Australia's Roy Emerson.

Djokovic also draws level with tennis greats Bjorn Borg and Rod Laver on 11 Grand Slam titles.

The Scot becomes only the second man - behind his former coach Ivan Lendl at the US Open - to lose five finals at the same Grand Slam since the open era began in 1968.
He was expected to head straight to the airport after the final to return to London and his wife Kim, who is due to give birth to their first child in the next two weeks.
Djokovic has now won four of the past five major tournaments, including three in a row, and will try to complete his career Grand Slam with a first French Open title in June.

Court remands man who beat trader over N60 cigeratte, ‘ogogoro’

A 24-year-old applicant, Kandas Salam, was Thursday remanded in prison for allegedly inflicting injuries on a petty trader, one Albert Jacob.
Salam, a resident of New Kuchigoro Village, Lugbe, Abuja, was arraigned on a three-count charge of criminal force, assault and causing bodily harm.
According to the Prosecutor, Ukaoha Ndidi, Jacob of New Kuchigoro Village, Abuja, reported the matter at the Lugbe Police Station on January 1.

The prosecutor said the accused refused to pay N60 being the cost of cigarette and hot drink he bought from the complainant’s shop, adding that rather than pay for the items, the accused assaulted and beat up the complainant.
Ndidi said that the accused brought out a knife from his pocket and used it to stab the complainant on his hands and his cheeks.
She said the offence contravened Section 265, 247 of the Penal Code.
The accused, however, pleaded not guilty.

The Chief Judge, Mr. Garba Ogbede of a Lugbe Area Court ordered that the accused be remanded in prison custody till the adjournment on February 24.

How traffic warden removed motorist’s teeth over N50 in Lagos

A mild drama played out on Tuesday at the Omole bus stop on Oba Ogunnusi Road in the Ojodu area of Lagos State after a traffic warden went physical with a motorist, identified only as Kingsley.
At about 8.30am, the traffic warden, Sunday Charles, who was with three female officers and four officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, had stopped Kingsley’s vehicle at the junction.

Charles, allegedly demanded N50 from the motorist before he could let him go. Trouble started when Kingsley claimed that he had earlier given N50 to the warden, adding that he would not give him another until evening.

Charles allegedly insisted on collecting the money and was said to have dragged Kingsley down from the vehicle and punched him in the face, during which the motorist’s three teeth fell off.
The motorist and some people in the bus, according to The Punch, bundled Charles up and threatened to drag him to the Ojodu Police Division for the assault on the driver. However, some pedestrians were said to have advised them against reporting the incident.
It was gathered that Kingsley held the warden and demanded medical treatment.
A large crowd was said to have gathered at the scene and tried in vain to separate the warden and the motorist who held each other’s clothes.

Kingsley said he refused to allow Charles to go because he had injured him.
According to him, “I am a commercial driver. The warden stopped me about 8.30am and I gave him N50. So, I was surprised when he asked me again.

“I was going towards Agidingbi Road when he stopped me. He demanded another N50. I refused, saying he should wait till evening. He dragged me from the bus and started punching me on my face.
“My mouth started bleeding. I realised three of my front teeth had fallen off. So, I grabbed his uniform. People bundled him inside my vehicle and said I should take him to the police station.
“His colleagues and LASTMA officials stood away during the altercation because he did not listen to them. I suspect the warden was drunk because of the way he dragged me from my vehicle,” he added.
One Abiodun Dada, a pedestrian who witnessed the incident, said that other traffic wardens and LASTMA officials, who were embarrassed by Charles’ action, later calmed down the enraged motorists not to protest against the incident.

“It was the warden who first hit the motorist. He punched him on the mouth and yanked out some of his teeth. It was the blood gushing from the driver’s mouth that attracted pedestrians. We later discovered it was an argument over payment of N50.
“If not for the wardens and the LASTMA officials who begged angry motorists, the gathering could have turned violent,” Dada said.

Another pedestrian, whose shirt was bloodstained as he tried to rescue Kingsley from Charles, said, “As people dragged the warden inside the vehicle, his trousers were torn, and buttons of his shirt also fell off. We wanted to report him at the Ojodu Police Station, and to demand that he should take Kingsley for treatment at a hospital.

“But when we saw that his uniform had torn, we advised Kingley to let him go and leave the matter to God. We suspected that the police could turn the matter against him for tearing the uniform of their officer and neglect his missing teeth,” the unnamed pedestrian noted.
Reports say Charles was freed by the motorist at about 12.30pm.
The Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Dolapo Badmos, said it was the motorist and his conductor who assaulted the traffic warden, adding that Charles’ uniform was torn during the attack on him.

Confirming the incident, Badmos said, “The case will be dealt with decisively.
“The traffic warden was beaten by a commercial bus driver and his conductor who are still at large.
“His service uniform was torn to pieces.
“He was rescued by a team of policemen deployed in the scene,” the PPRO noted.

From there (Metuh’s house) I proceeded to Mr. Sie Iyenome’s office at Wuse 2 where I gave him the sum of $1m. I also invited Mr. Kabir Mohammed and I also gave him the sum of $1m to transfer the naira equivalent in favour of Destra Investment Limited. Later on the same day, December 2, 2014, Mr. Kabir and Mr. Sie Iyenome confirmed the receipt.”

Cradinal Okogie comes hard on Buhari, says "What sort of change is the Pres­ident talking about?"

Archbishop Emeritus of the Catholic Archdiocese of Lagos, Anthony Car­dinal Olubunmi Okogie, yesterday released a statement criticizing the Buhari-led government. In the statement which was signed by the Director of Social Com­munications of the Diocese, Monsig­nor Gabriel Osu, Cardinal Okogie criticized Buhari for failing to heed court injunctions that granted both Dasuki and Pro-Biafra group leader, Nnamdi Kanu, bail. The respected religious leader asked what sort of "Change" is the President talking about when such acts of judicial disobedience is now the order of the day.

According to Okogie, the belief of many Nigerians is that the government is turning the nation into a police state comprising of the President, the EFCC and the DSS. He alleged that governors, who arm-twisted Okonjo-Iweala into signing reserves held by Central Bank, are today ministers in the All Progres­sives Congress (APC) government. Read part of the statement below
“He (Buhari) must retool, re­focus and aggressively face the so­cial, economic (fiscal and monetary) problems we have head-on, without letting the anti-corruption drive look like a political distraction. A snail-paced and disordered methodology in governance, his ap­parent disdain for judicial authorities and decisions, a lost today and found tomorrow 2016 Budget debacle, and a rather rudderless and confused Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) with an unclear monetary policy strategy (inevitably increasing the economic uncertainties being faced by Nigeri­ans), have set alarm bells ringing in my mind and in the minds of many discerning Nigerians. Indeed, his perceived discord­ant relationship with the leadership of the Legislature has many naysayers chuckling and remarking that Pres­ident Buhari’s government is head­ing into his comfort zone, a one man show. A lot of Nigerians are beginning to feel that Buhari is fast transforming this na­tion into a police state where the president, the Economic and Finan­cial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Department of State Secu­rity (DSS) rule the day. What they say is given lurid headlines in the me­dia, and it seems to all that some of the defendants cum accused persons are being tried in the press with in­formation conveniently slipping into the hands of the press, presumably from the security agencies, even be­fore such people have been charged to court. The pro-Biafran activ­ist, Nnamdi Kanu and the erstwhile NSA, Sambo Dasuki, were granted bail by the courts but such bails were disregarded by the security agents under Buhari’s watch. Unfortunately, democracy is difficult and this government must realise that democracy pervasive­ly coloured with impunity, arbitrar­iness and highhandedness, cannot be used to fight and correct the finan­cial impunity and reckless abandon of the previous administration, even if it is more difficult to do so; the rule of law must be obeyed and be the or­der of the day. If Buhari wants to leave a cred­itable legacy come 2019, he should retool the bureaucracy. For instance, the roof of the Central Bank is leak­ing water. Governors, who arm-twisted Okonjo-Iweala into signing out our reserves held by Central Bank, are today ministers in the All Progres­sives Congress (APC) government. We are still talking about change and corruption when old things refuse to pass away! These political gimmicks can only car­ry away gullible or naive Nigeri­ans. President Buhari should beam his flashlight on policies and pro­grammes that will lift up the masses. Existing industries are almost dead and they call for urgent revital­isation. The budget ought to aid so­lutions to the mass unemployment, rural-urban migration, skewedness in the distribution of income, abject rural poverty and industrialisation of rural economy. The 774 local government cap­itals should be linked to their state capitals. Even the mindboggling in­frastructure deficits can take the en­tire tenure to address. The weakness in the bureau­cracy has not been addressed. The problem the APC government is trying to solve is bound to re-occur because it is treatment of effect rath­er than the cause,” he said, adding that causative factors are being to­tally ignored or glossed-over while institutional weakness pervades the Ministries Departments and Agen­cies (MDAs), offices of the Account­ant-General, Auditor-General and the Central Bank. Our Change must change something. How could we continue to talk of change in a static system? How could we be talking of change when the same crew are governors, ministers, senators, and members of the House of Representatives? This is a cyclical devolution of power to the same people who are never out of power! What sort of change is the Pres­ident talking about? When will the youth take over when even a gov­ernor does not take a bow and go? When shall we plan for the replace­ment of delinquent leadership? This is what constitutes change. Change is not changing from Jonathan to Buhari. Change is be­havioural and pervades all levels of society including the family, the church, the mosque, schools, market women and business men. When we talk of change, we talk of positive-salutary, healthy growth and devel­opment oriented change that cuts across the entire gamut of the so­ciety. What sort of change is this that ignores the glaring unequal distribu­tion of national income? It is absurd that the same government that is un­able to pay N18,000 per month to the lowest grade of labour can afford to pay N1.8 million per month to anyone in the economy. Why must tax payers’ money be used to feed Mr. President and his family? Why must the tax payers’ mon­ey be used to buy brand new exotic vehicles for the legislature, judges, ministers and governors when they are heavily paid? Why don’t they use loan finance or mortgage finance to buy their cars and houses? This is also a form of looting and it is the cause of grounding the economy and calling in an IMF spin-doctor all the time. Precisely two years ago this same President Buhari rejected off-hand this use of a spin doctor to heal the ailing economy. He pre­ferred the use of counter-trade and inward looking policies like cutting down costs and flamboyant exotic life styles. Today, I am not so sure we have the same Buhari. I do hope he has not changed all the colours of the rainbow. The ruling elites are living a luxurious lifestyle while the mass­es are in abject poverty and yet we are all Nigerians. Enough of this change-conundrum”.
