17-year-old pregnant girl dies after drinking "Otapiapia" in lagos

17-year-old pregnant girl, simply identified as Temitope Saka, has died after drinking insecticide, (Sniper), in the Igando area of Lagos State.

Saka allegedly blamed her grandma for her suicide mission.

Punch reports that Saka’s boyfriend reported the case at the Igando police division, which led to the arrest of the woman.

The source said, “She had been living with her grandma since her mother died. The grandma is a trader in Ikotun, where the girl met her boyfriend, who is also a trader.

“The boyfriend found a suicide note where she accused her grandma of causing her death. He reported to the police.

Prostitution: 80 percent of Nigerians in Italy

80 per cent of Nigerian women in Italy arrived for prostitution – UNBy Wale Odunsi on August 9, 2016@dailypostngr

The United Nations’ International Organization for Migration (IOM) has said that about eighty per cent of Nigerian women who arrived Italy by boat in the first half of 2016 were trafficked for prostitution.

“What we have seen this year is a crisis; it is absolutely unprecedented and is the most significant increase in the number of Nigerian women arriving in Italy for 10 years,” UK Guardian quoted Simona Moscarelli, an anti-trafficking expert at the IOM.

She said majority of the women were being deliberately brought in for sexual exploitation purposes as criminal gangs and trafficking networks engaging in the sexual exploitation of younger Nigerian girls had expanded.

In 2014, about 1,500 Nigerian women arrived by sea. In 2015 this figure had increased to 5,633. Moscarelli warned that the current policy of placing Nigerian women in reception centres along with thousands of other migrants was playing to the traffickers’ advantage, with women regularly going missing.

Most Nigerian women who arrived in Italy are already victims of trafficking, many have been subjected to serious sexual exploitation in Libya, she said.

“They are really treated like slaves. They arrive Italy with debts of about £40,000 for their journey from Nigeria, which they are expected to pay back.

Is Pastor Chris getting married again?

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome of the Love-World Ministry has decided to give marriage another trial, after his messy divorce and so many other scandalous stories thrilling the man of God and his previous marriage to the mother of his two kids.

According to report by Thisday, it was revealed that the controversial man of God and founder of the Believers’ Love-world a.k.a Christ Embassy is considering taking a new wife after his divorce with the mother of his two daughters, Pastor Anita.

Though the new development has not been made known to the congregation, but it was gathered a close source to the man of God revealed that a large segment of the congregation are already aware of his plan to take a new wife.

Shockingly, it has also been learnt that the ladies have started positioning themselves to fill up the void created by Anita’s departure from his life, as a lot of fair-skinned ladies in the church’s branches at home and abroad have started jostling to become the next Mrs. Oyakhilome. But Pastor Chris is reportedly not interested in any of them.

Sources revealed that by the time he names his new bride, every member of his congregation will gape in surprise.

The billionaire pastor allegedly gave up on his former wife when it became clear to him that there was no way that they could resolve their differences and save their marriage. Previous attempts to reconcile the couple by church elders, friends and family had proved futile.

While Pastor Chris prepares to take a new bride as widely speculated, his estranged wife, Anita has since reverted to her maiden name. She is now to be addressed as Anita Ebhodaghe.

Buhari - fulfilling my campaign promises will not be easy

President Muhammadu Buhari, on Friday reiterated his resolve towards fulfilling his campaign promises to Nigerian.
Speaking at the Graduation Ceremony of Course 24 of the National Defence College, Abuja, the President noted that though it will not be easy, he is determined to live up to his promises.

According to the President, he and members of his team were trusting in God to deliver good governance through hard work and sound vision.

He said, “Let me assure you all that this administration is committed to bequeathing to this nation, a new orientation in leadership that will be service-driven and committed to the realisation of its promises to the electorates.

The recent and most shocking of the criticism was the one by his supporter in the 2015 election, Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka, who said that Nigerians’ high hope of Buhari had been dashed as a result of the current situation.

Why Samson Siasia’s worrisome defence can’t be fixed

Samson Siasia's is not known for putting together great defences; scoring won't be a problem for this side but poor defensive structure.

It is unusual to score five goals in a game and still struggle to win it, but that was the case of the Samson Siasia led Nigeria U-23 side. I would however first commend the team for a job well done. If you are reading this you already know about the flight delays that made the Dream Team VI players and officials arrive Manaus just few hours before the game against Japan.

Failure of the fund transfer system of the Nigerian Sports Ministry along with other issues-which include the players refusing to board a plane because it was too small-meant that the Dream Team VI had to do majority of their preparations aboard a 32-seater Delta plane.

From a video shared on Twitter by the Media Officer of the team, Timi Ebikagboro the players can be seen stretching their legs and discussing match tactics aboard the plane to Manaus, Brazil. This was necessary because with just less than seven hours to rest and prepare for the game after arriving, every moment mattered.

 These strenuous circumstances make it very hard to criticise the players and coaches after grabbing all the three points from the game against Japan. One thing that is troubling I and millions of fans in the country is how poor our defence was during the game.

 The midfielder had the composure and the ball-passing abilities needed to steady the game and launch an attack while the forward line had the pace, power and skills to trouble any defence.

The defence however was a different story. There was no communication between defenders, the defensive midfield was too far away from the back four. The centre-back pairing of William Troost-Ekong and Seth Muenfuah was also a disaster. Troost-Eko was often left on his own to deal with situations-using Japan’s second goal as an example.  Our goalkeeper Emmanuel Daniel also looked out of place and short of confidence.

All these problems are fixable; the only problem here now lies with the man in charge, Siasia.

The Bayelsa-State born coach is not known for putting together great defences. Siasia believes in the maxim ‘best form of defense is attack’. While this is encouraging and exciting, it leaves you very open against top oppositions.

Siasia loves playing with flying full backs and just one defensive midfielder with the other two in his 4-3-3 formation also barging forward to join the attacks.  This system hurts when an opposition counters you, then the team is only left with just the centre-backs and the defensive midfielder to defend.

It was however great to see Siasia make some effective changes in the game. Taking out Usman Muhammed andImoh Ezekiel for  Kingsley Madu and Ndifreke Udorespectively were tactically astute.

With any Siasia team, scoring is not a problem; always conceding is usually the worry. The worrisome defence can’t be fixed by Siasia but outscoring every opponent can deliver Football Gold for Nigeria again.
