PHOTOS OF 2 MUSLIM WOMEN ON SELLING TEA ON THE STREET TRIGGERS ANGER

 
Photos of 2 Muslim women selling tea on the street in Saudi Arabia have sparked outrage around the world.


The oil rich Saudi Capital of Riyadh cut back on paying oil dividends to its citizens while urging its citizenry to go out and find skilled and unskilled jobs.

As a result, Saudi women are working outside of their homes, according to Breitbart.com.
In the photos circulating on social media, 2 young women are seen selling tea from a stall set up on a street corner in Riyahd.

Women’s rights are nearly non-existent in Saudi Arabia. Most women must depend on their husbands or the Saudi government to provide for them.

The average monthly salary for men in Riyadh is 15,722 SAR or $4,245 U.S. dollars a month.
“Work is not a shameful thing but I wouldn’t want to see our daughters sinking this low, especially as long as our natural resources are plentiful and are disseminated around the world,” a twitter user twitted.
He added: “May Allah punish the corrupt”.

Another Twitter user blamed foreign feminists for corrupting their women.
“It’s all because of the foreigners, who are allowed to do whatever they want.”
“Will these women’s rights activists be required to find work for these respectable girls? Of course not. All they want [is] depraved freedom.”

Twitter user Albandari wrote: “Work is not shameful but in all honesty nobody would want to see his mother or sister do this job, for heavens’ sake.”.

The Games, which is aimed at fostering strong social collaboration among participating institutions, will take place simultaneously at the NOUN Campus, Ahmadu Bello Stadium, National Teachers’ Institute and Murtala Square in Kaduna State.

Mr. Tanglang, a Professor of Physical and Health Education, disclosed that NOUN, as the host, had ensured provision of adequate and standard facilities for the success of the games.

NOBODY IS OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE, THEY JUST DON'T WANT YOU IN THEIR LIFE. TONTO DIKEH SHARES NEW RELATIONSHIP ADVICE

                                                                                                

Its no more news that Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh has turned a new leaf since she got married.

 

Obviously, Tonto must have read Toke Makinwa’s tell-all book, and the mother of one, who has  been married to Oladunni Churchill for over 15 months, shared her thoughts on Instagram:

          

"HE FORGOT ABOUT YOU. REMEMBER THAT!!! 

I'm not sure why but we all do it.
Many beings to waste years of their lives, chasing after people they can't have, or lifestyles that aren't sustainable, for reasons we don't know.

You can't have a person, either they will f*ck with you, or they won't.
Nobody is out of your league; they just don't want you in their life.
We are all human so we all make mistakes, but a mistake made twice is a choice.
Try not to seek the best looking, or those with the most money, for these are superficial ideas and money doesn't make you happy.

So if you are in a situation with a person and you have the freedom to choose, but you are unhappy, this is your fault not theirs.

Stop wasting your time.

Leave the situation.
You should be looking for someone who shares sympathetic vibrations. Someone who is on your wavelength, someone who can be on the same frequency as you. Everything is a vibration, positive or negative. All elements are made up of atoms. And these are made up of a nucleus, protons (positive), neutrons (no charge) and electrons (negative). Opposites attract but if someone is in a negative space, you being in a positive space isn't necessarily going to help them and vice versa. You choose your own happiness, as you can choose the people you are around. (Obviously free from war, famine, poverty, drought, oppressive systems of government/religious opinions, disease etc) If you aren't happy within yourself, you can't be truly happy around others.
 

Health is not just physical.
I think this is why people who know me love me, because I am happy and I love people.
Don't chase waterfalls, on the surface they appear beautiful, but they are usually hiding rocks that will kill you. #chkb #POKOBARS.” (sic)

TOKE MAKINWA DISCLOSES THAT D'BANJ MADE A PLEDGE OF N1MILLION TO SUPPORT HER NEW BOOK AND HAS REDEEMED IT.

"KANYE WEST NOT YET FIT TO BE DISCHARGED" BUT KIM KARDASHIAN IS STAYING BY HIS SIDE

                                                                                

Kanye West will remain in the hospital a little while longer, E! News has learned.
The "Famous" rapper "isn't ready to go back home," a source tells E! News, adding that the decision to stay is "for the best."

"Kanye is the kind of person if he gets released and isn't mentally ready he will go back to his old ways and push himself over the limit again," the source explains. "He needs to keep up with counseling even though he has an intense work schedule. He is just really drained and still weak. He isn't himself."

Fortunately, Kanye has wife Kim Kardasian to help him get through his tough time. "Kim is being patient and staying by his side," the source adds. "They both have been through a lot but are staying strong as a married couple and helping one another get back up."

The couple, who have been married for two years, aren't worried about their relationship. "They know in the end this will bring them closer," the source says. "Their love has not been affected during this hard time, but it has been tested to see if they can get through it. They have faith they will."

A separate source tells E! News that Kanye "is not being held against his will" and dispels rumors that he was ever "chained to a gurney."

"He's not being forced to be there," says the source, adding that Kanye is not in a "psych ward" but rather is getting treatment by "world-class doctors" specializing in mental health and total "wellness."

Last week Kanye voluntarily admitted himself into a Los Angeles hospital after working around the clock on his tour, fashion line and other projects took too much of a toll on the star. The hospitalization came after Kanye arrived to a make-up concert 30 minutes late and ranted about Jay Z and Beyonce. He left the stage early and canceled his Sunday performance, too.

Come Monday, he'd cancel the remainder of his Saint Pablo Tour, which included visits to major American cities such as Brooklyn, Washington and Philadelphia.

"The remaining dates on the Saint Pablo Tour have been canceled," a rep for West told E! News in a statement. "Tickets will be fully refunded at point of purchase."

I WAS WILLING TO LEARN, TO BECOME LIKE ANITA JUST TO KEEP MAJE - TOKE MAKINWA

 
          Toke Makinwa writes;

"I tried to talk to him...a deep conversation in the dark where we could bare our souls to each other. I asked why he wouldn't let Anita go? What was it about her? With tears in my eyes and desperate to save my home, I was willing to learn, to become like her if that was what he wanted. If it was the sex, I asked him to teach me her moves. If it was her character I wanted to know, so I become what he saw in her. I was drained, I had no pride in that moment. I begged him to give us a chance"

You guys need to buy this book mehn....It will give you goosebumps. Toke went through things that I couldn't imagine anyone should go through. She even told a story of how Maje told her a day after their wedding in 2014 that he missed Anita Solomon. Women need to read this book and learn from it...


                                                                       

I WAS ALWAYS SCARED OF ADMITTING TO THE WORLD THAT I'M CHRISTIAN, FOR FEAR OF BEING KILLED - ADEWALE AYUBA SPEAKS ABOUT HIS LIFE AS A CHRISTIAN

 

Popular Fuji musician, Adewale Ayuba, has opened up on his initial fear after he got converted to Christianity.Ayuba, now commonly known as Mr. Johnson, was born and bred in a Muslim family.

According to the ex-staunch Muslim, he had been a Christian since 2010, but hasn’t been practicing it for fear of being killed.

The ‘Ijo Fuji’ songster made this known in an open confession in the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, weekend.

While admitting that he is now proudly a full Christian, he said, “I have been a Christian for so long, even my family members especially my kids are all going to church but I make sure I go every December 31st. If I don’t, I will presume the New Year would be filled with dangers that will lead to my death.

“I was always scared of admitting to the world that I’m Christian, for fear of being killed, but now I have the courage to say it boldly, I’m a born-again Christian. I’m no more a Muslim,” Ayuba added.

TOKE MAKINWA NARRATES HOW GAS CYLINDA EXPLOSION KILLED HER PARENTS

 

Toke Makinwa has revealed that a gas cylinder leak led to the fire incident that killed her parents when she was just 8-years-old.
The media personality made the disclosure in the second chapter of her tell-all memoir, ‘On Becoming’.
Describing the events of the day of the gas explosion, she wrote: “I heard a loud bang. Thunder, I thought… The bang I heard was the sound of the gas cylinder exploding. My mum had gotten the cylinder on Friday and brought it home only to discover a leak when it as turned on.

Her mother, she wrote, had told the house help on duty for the weekend not to use the cylinder, which was meant to be returned on Monday.
However, when the other help, Ruth, resumed work Monday morning, Grace failed to pass the information to her “because they weren’t talking”.

She continued: “Ruth, unaware of the danger, had put on the gas cylinder and tried to light the cooker. She died in the first blast. Grace survived the first blast but later died in the hospital.
“In the movies, you sometimes see a scene with someone burning from head to toe, screaming and trying to fight the flames. It happened right in front of me. Everyone ran back trying to figure out who it was and how to put out the flames, shouting advice from a safe distance.

“It took me a moment to realise that it was my mum. I stood glued to the spot, watching her burn… Even after they were driven to the hospital, I could still smell it.
“My mum’s friend spotted me in the crowd and took me and my siblings to her house. We were already there before we realised that none of us had seen my baby brother and cousin.

Toke wrote that her mother died before she could be flown abroad for intensive care while her father, who was seemingly recuperating, eventually gave up the ghost.
“My mum kept asking for her children, yet when my brother was brought into her room to see her she refused to look at him. She was burned all over and in a lot of pain. She died before she could be sent abroad.

“My dad kept asking for his wife. Nobody was brave enough to tell him the truth.
“The day he died, it was unexpected. He had been responding to treatment and was lucid, having conversations with the people that came to visit him.
“He was lying quietly in bed one minute and the next he was agitated, calling my mum by name and asking her to open the door because he wanted to be with her.

“Present in his room at the time was a nurse who was born again, and she knew instantly that the door he was asking to be opened was no ordinary one.
“She asked for everyone to start praying and pleading with the unseen to keep the door shut, to prevent him from leaving

“He kicked in the air like he was struggling to kick open that door and their voices grew even louder.
“Dupe, please don’t open the door,” they kept saying. “Dupe, remember your four children, close the door.”
“Their efforts were wasted. He passed away right before their eyes.
Her parents were buried side by side in Idanre, their hometown in Ondo state.
He father,Caleb Ifemayowa Makinwa, was 35 while her mother, Modupe Monica Makinwa, died at the age of 34.

After the death of her parents, Toke and her siblings moved into the house of her eldest aunt, Big Mummy, in Ikoyi, Lagos.

The OAP was eight years old when her parents died.
“From being a bubbly, friendly child, I became withdrawn and taciturn. From being the child who always came first in class, I went to the bottom of the class,” she wrote, to end the chapter.

WOMAN BATH GIRL WITH CHEMICAL, USES HER TO BEG FOR ALMS IN LAGOS

• The suspects Photo:Samson Folarin

The Lagos State Police Command has arrested two women – one Amadi and Mama Esther – for allegedly abusing a nine-year-old girl, Joy Esemonu, in the FESTAC Town area of the state.

PUNCH Metro gathered that Amadi allegedly poured chemical on Esemonu, which made her sustain injuries in different parts of her body.

Our correspondent was told that Esemonu was subsequently led everyday by the suspect to a pedestrian bridge in the FESTAC area where she was made to beg for alms from passersby.

At the end of every begging trip, the two women reportedly shared the money collected.

However, a Good Samaritan, who observed the victim’s condition on the bridge, reportedly alerted policemen from the FESTAC division, leading to the arrest of the two women.

The matter was subsequently referred to the Office of the Public Defender, which transferred the victim to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Traffic in Persons and other related matters.

A social worker who was privy to the case told our correspondent that Mama Esther was a relation of the victim and had lured her from their village in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

He said, “The girl lived in Port Harcourt with her parents. But last year, her mother handed her over to Mama Esther after the latter promised to support the family by taking the girl to Lagos. She said the girl would continue her education when they get to Lagos.

“However, when she brought her to Lagos, she decided to hand her over to Amadi, who she owed some money. The woman then decided to use her for begging.

“The girl said she noticed that Amadi would make her sleep before pouring a substance suspected to be chemical on her body. By the time she woke up and scratched the spots after feeling some pains, they would become sore. The woman would then bandaged the place and take her out for begging.

“She said whenever the injuries heal, she would make her sleep again and pour the chemical on her. The woman started with her bottoms and then her laps. She said such  had happened about four different times.”

Another source said Mama Esther, in her confession, claimed that she always collected between N2,500 to N3,000 as her share every day.

The source said the money the women were making off the victim kept them in the fraudulent business.

“The girl said although they lived in a slum in the Oyingbo area, the woman always took her to FESTAC to beg. She said there were other girls in the slum. She could not recall the exact place where her parents lived in Port Harcourt. She mentioned streets like Rumuokoro, Saint Jude and Rumola. She said she attended Saint Jude Academy and was in basic three before she was brought to Lagos. The girl explained that her younger sister, Ebierechi, was with another family. However, the suspect had maintained that they lived under the bridge,” he added.

The Director of OPD, Mrs. Salami Olubukola, condemned the action of the women, saying the state would ensure that justice was served.

She said, “This is a despicable act and the height of man’s inhumanity to man which must be condemned by all. Lagos State will never condone child abuse and cruelty and we shall go to any length to protect our children from barbaric acts.”

The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, said, “Investigation reveals that it is their stock in trade.”

The NAPTIP Lagos zonal coordinator, Mr. Joseph Famakin, confirmed that the victim was in the agency’s shelter.

He said, “The girl was brought to us last Friday and she is going through some psychological counseling and treatment. We are also investigating if there are other people involved in the crime. The two suspects are with the police.”

APPRENTICE ABSCONDS WITH EMPLOYEER'S TWO KIDS IN LAGOS (PHOTO)

 
An apprentice, who was simply identified only as Grace, has allegedly disappeared with the two children of her employer, Mrs. Suliyat Azeez, in the Okokomaiko area of Lagos State.

The victims were identified as Farouk, 4; and six-year-old Kafayat.

It was gathered that Grace fled with the children on Friday, less than 24 hours after she resumed apprenticeship at their mother’s workshop on Ora Street, PPL bus stop, Okokomaiko.


Punch reports that the children had returned from school and gone to their mother’s shop.
Grace was said to have claimed she was going out to buy food and asked the children to accompany her.

She was, however, alleged to have absconded with the children.
The victims’ mother, Suliyat, said she had gone for a meeting of hairdressers when the incident happened.

She said, “The girl came to my shop on Wednesday and said she wanted to learn hairdressing. I asked who her guarantor was because she said she came alone. She said she stayed with a friend in the area and she would have come with her, but the friend had gone to work.

“On Thursday, she returned and bought soft drinks and biscuits to celebrate the commencement of her apprenticeship. I even shared the drinks with people. That was the day she started working.

 "On Friday, I planned to go to her place of residence, but I had to first attend a meeting of hairdressers in the community. When I returned from the meeting around 4pm, I was told nobody knew where she went to with my children and we started searching for them. I believe she hypnotised my children.”
The victims’ father, Fatai, a mechanic, said the family had reported the incident at the Ojo and Okokomaiko police divisions.

“The girl just identified herself as Grace. She should be about 20 years old. My wife couldn’t collect her phone number because her phone (Suliyat) was faulty. She just decided to admit her because the girl asked for help. We don’t know any of her relatives and friends,” Fatai added.
A relative, Mr. Sanni Saidi, blamed Suliyat for not getting a snapshot of the suspect, adding that it could be difficult to find her.

He said, “On the day of her induction, Suliyat could have taken her snapshot. She could have taken her phone number. But she didn’t do all these and I think she should take the blame. This shows the extent that people could go to execute their devilish intentions. How could you steal two children without any fear of God? We appeal to the security agencies to help us find the children.”
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, said the matter was not reported at the police stations.

She urged the parents to go back to the station nearest to them, “so that investigation can commence.”
