Osaze Odemwingie’s Marriage In Trouble

Insiders have disclosed to societynowng that the marriage of Nigerian international footballer, Osaze Odemwingie is troubled.

The sources claim family members and friends are of the conviction that ‘marriage is having an adverse effect on his career’. 

Before he embraced downward spiral after his marriage – Odemwingie was a darling of football fans both in his country and club. 

The West Brom Albion striker got married to his wife, Sarah Fallon on 26 May 2012- after two years of dating.

He engaged authorities of the nation’s football governing body- Nigerian Football Federation and national team coach in a manner that attracted wide spread condemnation and got him sidelined. 

The former Locomotive Moscow star went on to engage club authorities in similar manner, to an extreme of single handedly trying to switch to another club. The move earned him wide spread ridicule. It also forced him out of team play and reduced him to the status of ‘training material’. 

Information made available to societynowng.com revealed promoters of the campaign ‘marriage is having an adverse effect on him’ have totalled all the incidents and believe there is something about the matrimony making him behave out of line. They have proffered a solution saying that- Osaze should have a rethink about the union…or at least take a temporary break from the union. 

Digs revealed the pressure for Osaze to tow the ‘take a break path’ is intense, and troubling the marriage. But the footballer remains unshaken in his commitment to his wife and marital vows. 

We’re left in curiosity as to whether the couple will be able to weather the storm of family pressure or not in days to come.

In his reaction to people's comment to the story on TON about the drama his first wife created at the Overcomers World Outreach church in Lagos last Saturday, Actor Solomon Akiyesi visited Olu Famous facebook page and drop a few lines, giving reasons why he left his wife for his new lover.

He claims you can only understand his actions if you know his pain. See what he said below:

"Every man has a right to take away that which will truncate his life. My marriage was one of the many things limiting me and retrogressing me. If I have a better alternative I doubt why I wont take it. People should leave me alone, pls."

Pastor Atunde Has Been Raping Me Since I Was 10 ––14yrs Old Orphan Girl

Innocent girls at the Light of Hope Orphanage has finally describe how the owner of the orphanage, Pastor Olatayo Atunde, raped them repeatedly. From outside, the Light of Hope Orphanage in Akute looks like every other orphange. But the things that go on inside are gory:

"Daddy started sleeping with me when I was 10. I have two blood brothers at the orphanage who I reported to but they have not been able to do anything about it. On one occasion, when he was sleeping with me, I ran into another room but he chased me and warned me never to run away from him again." ––said one of the girls he allegedly raped.

According to Punch, the orphanage which was founded in 1996 by Pastor Atunde receives donations from multinational companies, non-governmental organisations, and other concerned members of the public who were deceived to believe that Pastor Atunde has genuine love for the vulnerable children.

However, recent sexual allegations by some of the female inmates have shattered the positive image the orphanage once enjoyed. It all started when two young girls from the home told their secondary school teacher that they were raped by Daddy (Pastor Atunde), who runs the facility.

One of the orphans 14-year-old Atinuke [not real name] confirmed that he slept with her and many other girls at the orphanage. Atinuke, who is now in custody of an NGO - Project Alert on Violence Against Women - said she lost her virginity to Pastor Atunde at the age of 10 and has lost count of the number of times he has had sex with her.

She said, “I also reported the matter to the orphanage administrator, Aunty Hannah, and she said she would address the matter but daddy continued to rape me. Daddy usually raped us around 2am in his room. His wife does not always sleep in his room. She sleeps at the crèche where the younger orphans are staying.”

Pastor Atunde was also alleged to have sacked one of the employees at the orphanage that dared to challenge him. Another orphan, Salewa [not real name], told Punch that she was barely 12 when he started having sexual relations with her.

She said she had a sister at the orphanage who was in the university. Salewe disclosed that she had also caught Pastor Atunde having sex with another orphan.

“Daddy has been having sex with at least 10 of us. We are mostly between the ages of 8 and 14. I reported to Aunty Hannah and when she challenged daddy, he laid a curse on me,” she said.

Pastor Atunde has been released by the police, they say they are investigating. 

Buut a resident, who is an employee of the orphanage told Punch that, “After Atunde’s release, he hired some trucks to move the orphans to different locations so that if the state government shuts down the orphanage, he would still be able to operate directly or through a representative.

“Atunde receives donations from banks, multinationals, churches and other members of the public and the smartest thing for him to do right now, is to relocate the children and open another orphanage in a different name if possible. Most of the girls were relocated to another property within the area while others were taken to the Shangisha area of Lagos State. The police should not have granted him a bail.”

UPDATE: Actress Jennifer Eliogu Chased Out By Husband Over Séxual Escapes

This is one very shameful story if it's indeed what has befallen Nolllywood actress, Jennifer Eliogu. The actress usually claims to be a decent girl is now in the middle of a very dirty paternity mess.

From what I hear, actress Jeniffer Eliogu has been chased out of her matrimonial home by her husband and his family due to acts of infidelity. According to one of her husband's siblings, Jennifer, who it seems have been enjoying a secret love affair with a young guy in Nigeria in the absence of her husband, hurriedly and surprisingly showed up in Europe on a visit to her husband.

She started sleeping with her husband but after few weeks she claimed she was pregnant for him...

The husband was happy. But unfortunately for the actress who was trying to play smart, when she delivered the baby, it was discovered that the time difference for pregnancy and delivery did not match the time she claimed she was pregnant. The family of the husband later discovered that the actress was likely pregnant for her lover in Nigeria but quickly moved down to Europe to sleep with her husband with a view to confuse him and make him believe he was responsible for her pregnancy.

On getting this information and also getting details of Jennifer’s escapades with her lover in Nigeria, the husband immediately instructed his siblings to throw Jennifer and her new baby out of the duplex he rented for her in Ajah, Lagos.

From what I hear, actress Jennifer Eliogu is now living with a relative in the Ikeja area of Lagos pending when the real father of the child shows up. Nollywood people na wa for una o!

EXPOSED! The Dirty Runs That Go On In Nollywood

The first time I shot a movie in Asaba, Delta State was for my ministry Christ Embassy. I was surrounded by a group of Christian, very disciplined young men and women who had no moral issues nor were they inclined in any way to abuse the liberty and the testosterone/oestrogen-filled headiness that normally seems to accompany filmmakers like a sex-crazed mob of female groupies will accompany dirty rockers everywhere.

What I didn’t discover then was the whole truth:

In that first trip, I fell in love with the ancient but quietly emergent city that was on the verge of rediscovering itself. That love was so strong that I considered relocating my family there.

Don’t blame me; I am normally a victim of sudden emotional impulses that always seem to get me into trouble. Thank God my wife quashed the idea. The second time, I went to shoot one of my movies.

I‘d heard of good locations, cheap priced hotels and hardworking, professional crews, not like the indolent fat cats we have in Lagos. I wanted to take advantage of all that. What someone did not tell me, however, was that Asaba had also become home to semi-prostitutes, parading themselves as artistes and an accompanying band of very young pimps who ran production shifts and sold sex for pennies to immoral libidinous directors and producers. What I didn’t discover then was the whole truth.

So, last week, the idea of Asaba came up again and I put up a blog post that has elicited some very serious reactions. Suffice it to say that everybody seems to think that my going to Asaba to work is a very bad idea, major reason being that there is a massive stench of corruption coming from this pristine town.

That oozing fermentation seems to be coming out of Nollywood. Before now I’d heard stories of directors and producers who would demand that female artistes buy them laptops and iPads before giving them roles.

What is bad in that you may ask, well nothing really but those female actors are also required to sleep with them for as long as the production lasted and finally, they are also required to pay certain amounts of money to get roles. Sums as huge as N20,000 nay, even N50,000. Now did I say finally? Forgive me because the list goes on.

If these unfortunate female artistes are to be accommodated in the production camps, they are also required to pay as much as N10,000. Now, I know that dirty linen is not supposed to be washed in public especially in Nollywood and some of my colleagues will nearly send Boko Haram insurgents to assassinate me for what I am revealing since we keep denying the sexual harassment going on in Nollywood.

But I have found out that if we do not wash our linen in public, sometimes the stench will kill us in private and Reginald Ebere has never been known not to speak his mind. I have names and I can mention them with hard facts but I refrain from pushing the walls down because I believe broken walls can be mended.

What is going on in Asaba is sordid; which is the reason why half baked, illiterate, uncouth, insulting and sometimes utterly stupid productions are coming out from that enclave of sin and depravity.

It is time for the heads of our different guilds to go in there and clean the place out instead of sitting back in Lagos fighting over who will be part of the next dinner with ‘Oga at the top’ and issuing communiqués about how to share the N3bn largesse from President Jonathan.

If we do not act quick enough we will soon find that we all will be drowned in this morass of moral decadence.

It is what somebody has that he gives. If we build an industry that is peopled by thieves, pimps and whores, we will continue to produce movies that will corrupt our children and our society. I will shut my mouth for now.

TERRIBLE: 6 year old Girl narrates how 3 men (aged 43, 21, and 19) took turns to rapé her

She will be seven years this year. Yet her life has been marred by terrible and unimaginable experiences far beyond her age. 

For about a year, she was defiled severally by three men. They did so many unimaginable things to her, to the point of being threatened with death, until nemesis caught up with her alleged rapists early this year. 

Cynthia (real name withheld) is a girl full of life. She is intelligent, sound, and sharp enough to relate her different experiences in the hands of her tormentor. Even in the face of threats by the police prosecutor, she refused to be cowed as she maintained her story. But beneath all these is a serious pain that only continued expression of love and counselling can heal. 

The pain is a direct consequence of how she was séxually violated by the three alleged rapists including 43-year old Kassim, Oluwatobi (21) and James (19) who were alleged to have serially defiled the little girl between July 2012 and January 2013. 

Oluwatobi and James respectively are, however, claiming to be 17. 

Two of the men, James and Oluwatobi have already at different times been arraigned at a Magistrate Court in Ikeja, Lagos for the alleged defilement. Police said they could not find Kassim. The arraignment of Oluwatobi held weeks after that of James. Like James, Oluwatobi was arraigned on a one-count charge of unlawful séxual intercourse with the hapless little girl. 

The charge sheet reads: “That you Oluwatobi ‘m’ between July 2012 and January 13, 2013 at Idowu Egba, Ikotun, Lagos in Lagos Magisterial District, had séxual intercourse with one Cynthia ‘f’ aged 7 years and thereby committed an offence punishable under section 137 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State of Nigeria, 2011.” 

Cynthia, who lived with her aunt, Ngozi, and her husband at the Isheri area of Lagos, herself narrated what she suffered in the hands of the men. 

“My uncle (her aunt’s husband) and I were going to the shop. Oluwatobi saw us. He then greeted my uncle. I also greeted him. 

“But the next day, my uncle told me to stay at home and do my home work. My uncle said he would be back at home that he wanted to collect money from his shop. 

“I went downstairs to buy biscuit. Oluwatobi then saw me and greeted me. He said, ‘Fine girl, how are you?’ I said ‘Fine.’” 

Cynthia said Oluwatobi asked her if he could buy her something too. She said he bought her gala and a bottle of Coca-cola. After establishing a relationship with her, Oluwatobi asked his victim to show him her house and she innocently did, not knowing that it would mark the beginning of her ordeal in the hand of the alleged rapists. 

Cynthia said that Oluwatobi later came into their house, played football with her and left. She said the next day, Oluwatobi, James and one small boy visited their house, and, in the course of playing with her, they allegedly thrust their fingers inside her private part. 

She claimed the next day to that, Oluwatobi and James came again, this time without the small boy and did the same thing with her. 

“On another day again, Oluwatobi came with Kassim. Kassim was holding a knife and a pack of Five-Alive fruit juice and gala. When Oluwatobi was leaving, he left Kassim behind who allegedly had carnal knowledge of her later. He said that if I shouted, he would kill me with the knife. When Kassim had finished, he said I should show him our bathroom. I showed him and he bathed himself. After bathing, he said I should bring a glass cup and he shared the Five-Alive. He gave me four rolls of gala while he took two. When we finished, he told me to throw the empty pack of Five-Alive into the dustbin,” Cynthia narrated. 

She said Kassim left after he had made sure that she had thrown away the empty pack of the juice. 

Cynthia, who was then getting used to being violated every day, was relieved temporarily as she escaped being abused the next day by the suspects. 

“But the next day, I did not see Kassim because I went to my aunt’s sister’s place at Igando for holiday.” 

However, when she came back from Igando, the séxual assault continued. 

According to her, “when I came back from my aunt’s sister’s place, I was sent on an errand by my aunt. On my way I met Kassim who asked after my uncle and aunt. I told him they were around. Kassim now said I should come to his house and allegedly had carnal knowledge of her. 

The next day, Cynthia had another encounter with Oluwatobi. “The next day, I wanted to go and buy biscuit for Chibuike, my little brother (the aunt’s son), Oluwatobi saw me.” 

Oluwatobi, according to Cynthia, who was then with her little cousin, asked her to follow him to his house. She said Oluwatobi threatened that if she refused, he would make sure she got lost and so would not see her parents again. Consequently, she became afraid and followed him to his house while carrying her two-year old cousin along. She alleged that Oluwatobi told her to lie on the bed and defiled her once again. 

“When he finished, he told me to go and bathe in his bathroom. I later left with my brother to buy the biscuit”, she said. 

On getting home, her aunt, who had become worried, asked her why she came back late, “but I told her that there were many people that wanted to buy things from the Mallam who sells provisions in the neighbourhood”. 

Cynthia said she did not report her experiences to her aunt and her husband because Kassim threatened to deal with her, if she mentioned his name. 

Cynthia’s aunt, Ngozi, said when the ordeal of her niece started, she was not in Lagos but Abuja where she preferred to be delivered a baby. She said she was in Abuja between June and August last year, and even had to return to Abuja for medical attention because some complications developed after she had given birth through a Ceasarean section. So, Cynthia was left in the care of her husband and a cousin while she was in Abuja. 

She said it was in January this year that she was going through the little girl’s clothes and discovered that her underwear had blood stains. 

Ngozi suspected that something was wrong. She had to persuade her until she told her about James who worked in a barber’s shop nearby. She said Cynthia told her that James defiled her and threatened to deal with her should she reveal what he had done to her. 

Ngozi said: “Immediately I called my pastor and told him what happened. He called one of the members of our church who is a policewoman. The woman said I had to come down to the Ikotun Police Station to officially report.” 

She said that after the police had interviewed Cynthia, they got James arrested. She said the father of James was trying to defend his son, that he could not have defiled the girl since he, the father, was a pastor. 

James was, however, detained and arraigned at a Magistrate’s Court in Ikeja where he was granted bail. 

James, according to Ngozi, confessed to the crime. James, she alleged, wrote a confessional statement at the police station. But James’s father had been maintaining that he made the statement under duress. 

As at this time, Cynthia’s guardians did not know that more than one person was involved in the act. 

“It was two weeks later that we discovered that there were others. I heard my two-year-old son ordering Cynthia to lie down in bed. I wondered how a two-year old boy could talk like that. So I asked Cynthina where Chibuike learnt that. She was just staring at me. I insisted on getting an answer from her. It was then she told me it was one Oluwatobi that said that to her and that Chibuike was present when he did that. 

“I started shouting and asked if Chibuike was watching as Oluwatobi defiled her. She said yes but that he was ordered to look at the dressing mirror in his room. She told me about Oluwatobi and Kassim but that the police were reluctant to arrest them. 

She said Oluwatobi’s parents were alleging that she wanted to extort money from them while Kassim’s wife claimed that her husband was not in Lagos. 

Events after the arraignment of Oluwatobi have, however, made Ngozi to get worried. Ngozi claimed the police were no longer working in their interest as her niece is now being treated as an offender and made to be scared. She claimed that even when Oluwatobi was eventually arrested and arraigned before an Ikeja Magistrate’s Court presided over by Mrs. E. B Daodu, the police prosecutor, identified as Anthonia, allegedly threatened her niece. 

She said that herself and her husband were surprised that the police prosecutor, who was supposed to be working in her interest, made an application for Cynthia to be remanded in the Child Correctional Centre at Yaba. Anthonia, she said, claimed that the application was necessary because the guardians could not take care of Cynthia and that this was what made her vulnerable to séxual assault.

Exclusive: Three ‘Missing’ Ogun Female Undergraduates Found In Dubai

The girls were declared missing by the college authorities.

Three female undergraduates of Tai Solarin College of Education, Omu-Ijebu, Ogun State, who were declared missing have been sighted in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates(UAE), PREMIUM TIMES has learnt.

The students, Omoeneme Maureen, Ajao Aminat Romoke and Oludegun Morufat Olayinka, have been missing from the school for several weeks, and had become a source of worry for the college management and their parents.

The school authorities and the families of the three100 level French students, had searched various parts of the state including various accidents scenes and mortuaries during the search for the students.

There had also been rumours that ritualists might have kidnapped and used the ladies for ulterior actions.

One of the girls eventually made contact and told a search party that they were in Dubai to seek greener pastures.

When contacted, the Registrar of the College, Tunji Kanimodo, confirmed the story, adding that the students’ action was amazing.

Mr. Kanimodo told PREMIUM TIMES that the police had been informed that the girls were in the United Arab Emirates.

He said the students had paid their fees and registered for the ongoing academic session before they went missing; and the school authorities would wait for appropriate action by the police before it takes further actions.

AVOID: 10 Ways To Ruin Your Relationship

1. Be critical. Even “constructive” criticism can make your partner defensive and reduce the feeling of safety in a relationship. Being harsh and judgmental when angry can trigger a “flight or fight response.”

2. Insist your partner be exactly the same as you. Hendrix and LaKelly Hunt say “absolute compatibility” is an express route to a dull relationship. If you insist your partner have the same feelings and perceptions as you do, it can lead to despair and misery.

3. Flee from intimacy. If you habitually avoid being physically or emotionally close with your partner through escaping into work, hobbies, television, or other activities, you risk creating a divide between you and your partner that may become impossible to breach.

4. Play the blame game. Using “you” language when upset will make your partner put up their defenses. When your goal is to communicate in a way that fosters intimacy, use statements that begin with “I feel” instead.

5. Bargain. Hendrix and LaKelly Hunt say that both “giving conditionally and receiving cautiously” erode relationships. They warn against doing something for a partner only when you want something in exchange.

6. Be casual about romance. No relationship can be spontaneously joyful forever. Once the initial excitement of a new romance wears off, some couples think their relationship is over and give up trying. They risk missing out on experiencing a deeper kind of love.

7. Focus on the negative. If you constantly think and talk about your partner’s flaws it can amplify your discontent. Hendrix points out that a paradox of most forms of couples therapy is that you spend your sessions complaining about your partner—something that can actually be detrimental to your relationship.

8. Refuse to listen. Thinking you are the right all the time and engaging in a one-way monologue is a great way to end up in a relationship…of one, warn LaKelly Hunt and Hendrix.

9. Hide your needs. If you don’t express what you need and want to your partner, you’ll constantly feel deprived and frustrated. Hendrix and LaKelly Hunt say it’s crucial share “the things that truly touch your heart.”

10. Expect a fairytale romance. Fairy tales are just that and eventually we all have to come down to earth. Demanding the fantasy go on forever prevents your partner from ever being their authentic self and fosters resentment and distance.

A Chinese Man That Lives With Snakes In The Zoo

A zoo owner in the Philippines has taken the rather drastic step of sleeping with his collection of snakes as he prepares to usher in the Chinese ‘Year of the Snake’.

Emmanuel Tangco appears to have a rather unusual relationship with the reptiles and has been pictured covered in the snakes at Malabon zoo in Malabon, Metro Manila.

One image shows Mr Tangco reading to his snakes in bed, while another shows him covered in them in a pool at the zoo, as crowds look on and photograph the unusual scene.

The Year of the Snake commences on Sunday February 10 and a number of zoos around the world are using the occasion to let members of the public get closer to the reptiles.

Oregon zoo, for example, is offering free admission on Sunday and staff will be allowing visitors to experience ‘up-close encounters with various snakes’.

The offer is one Mr Tangcon may decide to miss as he appears to have his hands full enough at the moment…
