True Story Behind The 'Boy' Who Was Lynched In Lagos By Mob.

As the story of the man lynched by a mob in Lagos continues to dominate the front pages, various accounts of the story continue to emerge. Initial reports that

the victim was a 7-year old boy were dismissed by the Nigerian Police and a lawyer who works with the Joint Action Aid has shared the details of the incident on Facebook.

Read his account below:

The true account of the young man lynched and summarily burnt to death at Orile Iganmu last Saturday speaks of the uncertainty and brevity of human life in Nigeria. It was Saturday, the 11th day of November 2016. The venue of this macabre killing orgy was at Augustine Onwualu Street, Orile Iganmu, Lagos.

Nee

A woman, (name withheld) was walking along the ever busy road of Augustine Onwualu street, Orile Iganmu. She had an Infinix Hotnote 2 handset with which she was making telephone calls in high pitched voice, frantically gesticulating in the process. Close by, on the same street were a gang of 4 notorious thieves, well known in the area for their dare devilry and viciousness. They were there, waiting, prowling and surveying the entire scenery for a vulnerable victim to rob and dispossessed of their valuables as they often do in the past. And successfully too.

“The woman approached. Still talking on the phone and gesticulating with her free arm. She was immediately spotted by the very perceptive eyes of this criminal gang. A brief conference amongst them, she was adjudged a soft target. There was no need for further plans or careful surveillance. After all they had done this successfully in the past. More so, their sheer ferocity makes them a sort of feared mobster in the local vicinity. But it turned out to be a miscalculation. And costly one at that!

“They approached and circled the woman who was oblivious of her surrounding and the imminent attack on her person. The robbery attack was swift and very decisive. She was held from behind by two members of the gang. One of them deftly pruned her hand bag off her shoulder and the same time attempted to retrieved the telephone with which she was making calls from her other arm. The last of the gang stood guard, providing cover for the others.

“They had during their planning stage misjudged the desperation of a Nigerian woman about to be dispossessed. The victim reacted swiftly. She let the hand free and held on tenaciously to her phone. A struggle ensued. The victim plaintively cried out for help. A motley crowd gathered. The other members of the gang, appropriately appraising the situation fled the scene. The fourth member was not so lucky. He continued to engage in an internecine struggle with victim for the phone. In desperation, he brought out a dagger, and cold blooded stabbed the woman repeatedly in the chest, stomach and shoulder. There is a proverb, when a strong animal flirts too much with the trap, he makes his meat available for children to share with teeth.

“The gathered crowd became enraged and promptly apprehended the abandoned thief. He was beaten to stupor, Tied up and set ablaze while the maddening crowd continued to bay for his blood.

“Joint Action Aid was alerted on Monday when video clips of the dastardly murder went viral on social media. We reported the yet another resort to “jungle justice” to the Commissioner of Police, Lagos state. The video clips were carefully analysed and some arrest made. The six people arrested through our efforts denied criminal culpability and brought fast talking lawyers.

Hilarious Names Of Churches You Will Find In Nigeria (PHOTOS)

The rate at which religion tends to find its way into virtually all that we do, has become very alarming.

However, the issue is not with the various religions, but with those who believe and follow these diverse beliefs.

Talking about names of churches and themes of church programmes, here are some very hilarious photos you must see!

If You Still Drink This, STOP! It Destroys Your Bones From Inside Out!!

Everyone knows that soda water is not the healthiest product. But the majority of us can’t even imagine which danger this seemingly harmless drink for children actually brings. For many, soda is the number one choice during the summer heat, in the case of some holiday and simply for everyday drinking. But do you know how much harm you cause for your organism when you drink such beverages?





1. Soda and osteoporosis
 In the compounds of many sodas are included caffeine and orthophosphoric acid that is, according to the list of researches, prevents calcium consumption. Another research showed that the regular drinking of sweet sparkling water causes the significant reduction of density of bone tissue of pelvis joints. It is noticeable that women are more sensitive to the loss of the bone mass. One more research showed that the regular consumption of 330ml of caffeine a day (that is approximately equal to four cups of coffee) leads to the loss of the bone mass.  
It is considered that caffeine prevents the calcium absorption and leads to the loss of calcium through urine.  In other words, soda is literally washing calcium away from your bones. That is why is it strictly prohibited for people who suffer from osteoporosis, Crohn’s disease and those who are older than 50.

2. Harm for liver
If you think that cirrhosis is something that happens only to alcoholics – you are wrong. The excessive consumption of soda can also cause this dangerous disease.

3. Excessive weight 
Alcohol-free soda beverages occupy the leading place in the list of products that cause obesity. In a half-litre bottle of soda are contained 9 spoons of sugar that is actually much more dangerous than the common “home” sugar, because under the impact of carbon dioxide it is immediately absorbed into the blood stream.
And if you think that the diet soda is the way out, you are greatly mistaken. The “diet” sweet beverages bring even much more harm to your organism. Despite the fact that they really don’t contain sugar, they are filled with artificial sweeting agents that can cause the wide variety of hormonal disorders and lead to obesity.

4. Teeth decay
Sweet soda drinks damage dental enamel. Apart from the high content of sugar, these beverages are also very high-acidy.

5. Kidney diseases
As it was said before, the orthophosphoric acid takes away calcium from the bones, and it is partially removed with urine, but some amount of it remains in kidneys. That is why soda consumption is the sure way to get kidney stones. If you care for your health, you shouldn’t get addicted to soda beverages. Specialists also advise to drink a glass of milk per each can of soda to compensate the calcium loss.

Chai! Man Marries His Snake After The Death Of Girlfriend (Pictures)

A man has married his snake because he believes that it is his dead girlfriend coming to life in the body of the snake.


According to reports, he believes that the 10ft long cobra bears a striking resemblance to his dead lover.


 The unnamed loverboy is said to have been totally heartbroken when his girlfriend passed away five years ago. But when he spotted a snake with a resemblance to the girl, he instantly felt better as he believes she has come back to his life as the serpent.



He spends his day with the large cobra and enjoys its company.


The Buddhist believe that people can be reincarnated as animals so this is what gave the loverboy hope.



Pictures have emerged of him living a happy life with the snake. They eat together, drink together and even watch TV together.




 “He never stays away from the snake . He takes it everywhere he goes or even while he’s sleeping,” the man who released the photos said.


“He’s well known to be the man who lives with a snake. He had been warned several times that it is dangerous but he still carries on,” he added.

 

He evidently believes his snake-wife should never leave his side as these pictures suggest.

See The Look On This Baby's Face When Mum&Dad Kissed(Pictures)

You might, at one point or another, been a witness to a clingy baby.

Kids are very much attached to their parents and when it looks like someone else is getting the attention they crave, they might actually feel jealous.

Little Ella is five months old. Her parents are Matt and Krissy Hanneken. Little Ella loves getting attention so when her parents decided to show their love for each other in her presence, little Ella was not having it.

One night, when her parents were kissing, Ella got so adorably jealous. Evidently, she was once a fan of these nighttime kisses, but this time was a little different.

“But this one particular night, it was really late at night, she was way tired,” said Matt. “And we did it and she looked at us like, ‘what did you just do?!’“Every time we’d done it before she was all smiles, all giggles.”

Her parents decided to share a kiss to get Ella to smile again but they were met with the most adorable, charming look of betrayal on Ella’s face.

See What Was Done To Students Who Were Late To School

The world we live in is a mean one; people derive pleasure in doing things that will make others suffer.

What many do not know is that we are sojourners in this world, knowing this will help you to be conscious of every step you take. 

One has to be cautious when dealing with children. Since we cannot live forever, one will have to hand over to them at one point or the other because they are future leaders. You cannot afford to use force on them simply because you are in power and you have all it takes to make them suffer.

Every one has one or two stories to share when asked about education. People in their 30s may recall being dealt with by mean teachers in school. There are some teachers that have missed out on being helped in life because of the role they played while training their pupils.

In the same light, some teachers have received special recognition for the role they played during their service years. It is no longer news that some get political appointments when the appreciative students get into power.

But in the case of the director of a school located in Ebang neighbourhood in Yaounde, Cameroon, one can never tell if the future leaders will be ready to assist him if they ever get into power. 

The director of this school is known for punishing pupils by forcing them to kneel and crawl in mud whenever they go late to school.

It is quite understandable that students get punished as part of the educational system in some parts of the world. But to be insensitive to their ages and weather condition when they are being punished is absolutely mean.

On a military training ground, this punishment may be appropriate, but for a punishment of this magnitude to be meted out on school children is scary. It could discourage the children from going to school while driving the thought of education farther from their minds.

It was gathered that the school director does not bother about the ages of the children being punished once they get late to school. The pictures in this post will move you to pity as you will wonder how children are supposed to learn while going through so much suffering.

COFFEE LOVERS: Read What Will Happen To You When You Drink Coffee Without Food

 As refreshing as a cup of coffee is, taking it on an empty stomach can cause serious health issues. It is important for you to know when to take a product and when not to. Coffee is good for the body but taking it at the wrong time can interfere with the normal functioning of the body. The amount of hydrochloric acid produced in the stomach increases when coffee is being taken on an empty stomach. A long term effect of this contributes to the development of gatritis, an inflammation of the stomach lining.

Taking coffee on an empty stomach may seem appropriate to people who start their mornings with it. However, the high levels of the hydrochloric acid produced can interfere with the digestion and absorption of proteins.
This is one of the reasons why people suffer from inflammation of the bowel, bloating and irritation. Taking coffee on an empty stomach can also cause colon cancer.

Nigerian Man Who Has 97 Wifes Speaks Up

One of the most extraordinary octogenarians living anywhere in the world today is Alhaji Pa Bello Abubakar Masaba, the man with 97 wives and over 190 children.



 The man, who is said to preside over a 5,000 strong household in Bida, Nigeria, is an Islamic scholar and faith healer. In 2008, the man was detained for weeks for not following the sharia law of marrying not more than four wives. He was ordered to divorce about 82 of his wives, leaving him with just four (at that time because he later married more), as prescribed by Islam. He refused. The case dragged into an Abuja High Court, where he was released after the testimony of 57 of the wives that they married him willingly.
In an interview with a foreign newspaper, Masaba disclosed how he continues to write his name into the Guinness Book of Records, as Nigeria’s most prolific man, by marrying even more wives every time he sees a new ‘Miss Right’. When asked how Masaba satisfies his women sexually, the octogenarian said his sexual power is from God. ”In his wisdom, God has given me the power and strength to give them the sexual portion they need. If I didn’t satisfy them, they would leave,” he said.



 Recently, there were rumours that the 87-year-old ‘spectacular’ polygamist died after a brief illness. Vanguard contacted him and he dismissed the rumours of his death, saying “I am still alive, bubbling in good health.” 
 Masaba, who dismissed the rumour on phone yesterday, described the rumour as a deliberate act by his detractors to bury him while still alive. He said: “My dear, I am still alive, hale and hearty. At least, you can hear me speak and certainly, a dead person cannot speak. The rumour is baseless and can best be described as the work of my detractors because they envy what God has done and what He is still doing for me. I am seated outside of my house and I am speaking with you live in Bida without any problem with my health. What I am doing is divine. It is an assignment and I will keep doing it till the end.”
 
 Wow!

5 Foods You Should Not Eat Again

When you are trying to get healthy and lose weight, there are certain foods you should avoid. Most of these food are obvious because they contain ingredients known to cause weight gain. 

There are some foods not as obvious and can be just as bad for you. These foods are a problem because most people do not know how to avoid them and therefore consume them more often than they should. Here are five such foods you should never eat again.

White bread

White bread is a local staple but the truth is, it doesn’t have any nutritional value. It contains a lot of sugar and isn’t as filling as desired.

Substitute your white bread for whole grain or whole wheat bread when possible. Also substitute bread on your sandwiches with lettuce leaves or whole grain tortillas.

Fried Foods

Many people only associate fried food with fast food restaurants and do not realize they also consume them at home. Avoid frying any meal, consider baking or broiling instead. Fried foods are not nutritious and can cause blood pressure and cholesterol levels to rise. They can also cause you to gain weight needlessly.

Cream-based salad dressings

Salads can be very nutritious but can become unhealthy when covered in cream-based dressings that contain a lot of fat and calories. There can be more calories in your salad dressing than in the rest of your entire salad.

Try oil-based salad dressings instead. They taste lighter, and have less calories.

White rice

Rice is a common staple but the truth is, white rice can cause your body to store fat when it doesn’t need to. It also has no nutritional value. Local rice (Abakaliki) and brown rice is the best option because it is full of fibre, vitamins and nutrients. It will also keep you satisfied longer so you are less likely to overeat.

High fructose corn syrup

High fructose corn syrup can quickly cause you to gain weight and even make you have cravings for more sugar and sugary foods. Overeating sugary foods and foods that are high in fructose corn syrup can even lead to diabetes and other health problems. Avoid processed sugars and opt for fresh fruits and berries.
