Arthur Eze: Igbos don't love themselves

According to Arthur Eze,O God Can Make An Igbo Man President  As He Accuses His Kinsmen Of Being Wicked To Each Other 

Billionaire oil magnate, Prince Arthur Eze, has said it will take God for an Igbo man to become Nigeria’s President.

According to him, the Igbo people do not love another.

He also accused Igbo people of not being united and hailed Northern Nigeria for being “kind”.

Ahead of the 2023 general elections, Eze advised the Ndigbo not to crave for a President of Igbo extraction but a President who would champion their interest irrespective of his tribe.

He spoke to journalists in Ukpo, Anambra State, on Sunday, during a church service.

He declared that he would support a good leader as Nigerian President irrespective of the person’s ethnic group.

Eze said, “For the Igbo to be President, they must love themselves. Do they love themselves? The North is very kind. If you go to northern Nigerian, you will see churches everywhere. There are churches in Kano, Sokoto, Kaduna, Abuja and others yet they say there is hatred. Do we (Igbo) love ourselves?

“Only God can make an Igbo man President. We shall pray to God to find an Igbo man who has character to help people. I would prefer someone who has conscience; somebody who will remember me. I don’t care where you come from.

“I went to the North, they didn’t know who I was. They gave me $12m for the construction of Kano TV in 1980. I didn’t have one naira then. It was the same thing in Katsina, Borno and Kaduna. Then, they put me in oil business. They didn’t care where I came from. Tell me any Igbo man who can do that?”

Buhari lookalike comedian, ties knot with presidential aide’s daughter

MC Tagwaye, Buhari’s lookalike, weds presidential aide’s daughter
Obinna ‘MC Tagwaye’ Simon, a comedian from Anambra state has tied the knot with Hauwa, daughter of Maryam Uwais, special adviser to Presidential Muhammadu Buhari on social investments.

Uwais, whose reappointment in the said capacity was approved by Buhari in 2019, broke the news on Sunday, in a photograph-laden statement on her Instagram page.
“So my daughter, Hauwa, got married today. And I got me a brand new son, MC Tagwaye. Fun, love, and laughter shall follow them all the days of their life,” the presidential aide wrote.
“Please pray for a blessed and fulfilling union for this brand new couple. Marriage is never easy. But with God in their lives, and prayers of well-meaning people, it will be.”
Taking to his account after the wedding on Saturday, the groom also wrote: It’s a good night we continue from where we stopped tomorrow. For those asking, we’re officially joined married today.”

MC Tagwaye had hit the limelight after he mimicked Buhari reacting to criticisms in a clip over which he was later dubbed the president’s doppelganger for accurately imitating his mannerism.
The Anambra comedian had revealed how he had been teaching for more than seven years while augmenting his allowances with the proceeds he got from his side job as a master of ceremonies.
“I had taught for more than seven years. As I was teaching, I was doing the comedy profession to support my allowances.  President Buhari isn’t the first person I mimicked,” Tagwaye had told BBC.
“What made this special was that I always tried to imitate such personalities with near 100 per cent accuracy. Buhari’s character entered me so well. I found it difficult to return to my own self.
“Even when I finally met the president, he was always careful with his speech so I wouldn’t pick something from him. Anybody that likes Buhari likes me, if they hate him, they hate me as well.”

Nigerian mom shares her awkward experience with her sex toy

Nigerian Mom Shares Her Experience With Her Sex Toy And How Her Vagina Nearly Caught Fire. 

Let’s read her hilarious experience:

So my vagina almost caught fire today

Home alone so i decided to use my vibrator  on the highest and most violent setting for the first time. I never crank it high because Its super loud

2. It vibrates so hard that in the event that it doesn't rip my clit to shreds, i'm unable to hold on to it when things get slippery

Today i was like fuck it, lets see the worst that can happen. If we die, we die noni. I was enjoying myself then i started feeling heat on my fingers but i was like "nah its the friction from the vibration.." then i started smelling a combination of burning tyre and u know how. on sallah day when they are burning the hair off the ram? Yes that was my coochie hair being singed. The vibrator imploded, started melting from the inside and tried to barbeque my hooha. I flung it and ran to the bathroom to tamba

Aliexpress eshay oh. Made in China.

My biggest fear is dying from a sex related accident or having a sex toy stuck in me which is why i dont trust dildos. Today my life flashed before my eyes. Imagine them finding my dead body with barbequed vagina. I've learned to appreciate my own fingers

For the record, i did have an orgasm when the burnt pube rolled u to my clit, it was just sudden and more painful than i thought. i regret nothing she concluded.

STILL ON RAPE: A young woman gives details of her encounter

A young woman gives her account of her encounter with with rapists "I was fifteen, we were coming back from a crossover service. The distance from my church to my house was quite far but because there were no vehicles that night, we had to trek and on such nights with other persons returning from church too, you won't feel the distance. I was in the company of another older girl and a guy. We had passed several boys in the streets burning tyres but none really came close to us. As we went along, people got to their streets and houses and others continued. We got to a point and met some boys like those we passed earlier. Unfortunately, those ones were out for trouble. Before we could pass by the bonfire they built, they quickly surrounded us. There were other persons passing by in groups but nobody stopped to help even when they saw us struggling with them. They pulled us away separately. Two of them dragged me even while I was still struggling with them while others took the other girl and the guy to different places. Because this is my story, I won't be saying what happened to them.

The two guys pulled me to a secluded spot, threw me on the ground and ordered me to pull my skirt. I was crying and pleading while holding on tight to my skirt. When they saw that I wouldn't obey them quietly, they started hitting me and tried to pull the skirt down. While one held me down, the other tried to penetrate but I was struggling seriously with the little strength I had. He made several attempts before they switched places yet they couldn't penetrate. I was already bruised from the friction. When they got tired, they pulled me up and ordered me to follow them. I thought of running but how fast could I run? While I was still thinking, they held my hand and pulled me after them.

I started begging again and they said they were taking me to where the others were.

We got to a garage and they pushed me into an abandoned vehicle. It was dark and I couldn't see clearly but I noticed they were more there and the one who appeared to be their leader was asking them what happened. I didn't quite get what they told him, but he came inside the vehicle and asked them to hold me down. The vehicle was empty of seats so I was lying on my back. Very heavy hands pinned me down. I couldn't move an inch. When he went in, the pain was so strong, I shut my eyes and screamed. When I opened it, I saw blood all over the white singlet he had on. I was a virgin and I knew I had lost it. He ordered them to take me away. I could barely walk. They took me to a brothel, gave me some concoction to drink, then walked with me a little before letting me go. When I got home, the condition I was in didn't even need questioning.

The next day, I was taken to a clinic, tests were done and medications given. Emotionally, I got off quickly, I shut the event out and wouldn't think nor talk about it. But physically, I suffered. For several weeks, I lived on medications and squatting over a bucket of hot water. My vagina was literally on fire. Walking, sitting or any friction at all would set it off. But I couldn't tell anyone. In the long run, I healed.

For years after that, I didn't attend crossover services and I avoided that area. But it's all in the past now, and I believe I have gotten over it."
