'How Gospel Songs Saved My Life' - Kidnap Survivor Recounts Ordeal In Kidnapper's Den

A 45-year-old trader, Elizabeth Otokiri, who was reportedly kidnapped and later released, has said she was saved by constantly singing gospel songs.
 
Elizabeth was kidnapped with two others along Ibuso-Ogwashi Uku road, Delta State by a gang of kidnappers but was released three days later.
The police also rescued the other two and arrested three members of the kidnap gang who are currently being detained by the police at the state CID in Asaba.
Narrating her experience, the kidnapped woman said on that fateful day, she was returning from a church programme when she was kidnapped, blindfolded and taken to an unknown destination.
Elizabeth stated that she started singing gospel songs in the thick forest where she was kept.
According to her, the kidnappers had asked for a ransom of N40 million which her children were unable to raise and they had planned to use her blood for ritual sacrifice.
She stated that she was not moved by their threats of killing her as she kept on singing gospel songs and they were later forced to let her go as they could not stand her religious attitude.
"I sang melodious songs to God and they felt threatened by my songs and one of them who brought bread for me to eat said they were tired of this ‘holy holy woman," she said.

Blog Reader is about to Give Up on Her Decision to Stay a Virgin till She gets Married, Needs Your Advice..

 Read her below:

I'm a young lady, 25 years old. Growing a good relationship has been a daunting challenge for me, it just won't last. Sometimes my fellow ladies take him from me or lack of sex causes our separation even after letting him know from the beginning that I am totally for a no sex before marriage relationship. At first they would accept only to walk out when I have fallen in love.  

Some of these men have been good to me but sex is the only barrier. Some said I'm too rigid. I have really worked on my character because at some point I thought I was lacking some good morals.

My friends always advice me that sex keeps relationship going. But I want to know, can't one have a healthy relationship without sex? As a virgin, if I desire for a man's affection, is it wrong?  

Please help me post this, I really need advice from my fellow readers because I'm heart broken now. I'm beginning to have a rethink on my determination.

Breaking News: Nigeria's Provisional Squad For World Is Ready-Keshi

After weeks of speculations over Nigeria's provisional squad for the upcoming World Cup holding in Brazil from 12 June to 13 July, 2014, Super Eagles Head Coach, Stephen Keshi, and the Technical Committee of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), have said they are ready to release the squad.

According to THISDAY report, Keshi and the NFF are expected to reach a truce and name Nigeria's provisional squad to the FIFA World Cup in Brazil this afternoon in Abuja.
Football pundits are of the opinion that disagreement led to the delay in naming the initial squad of 38 players two weeks ago despite denials from both the coach and the technical committee members of NFF.
Latest reports suggest that all appears to be okay now after the intervention of some stakeholders to save Nigeria's image after a Singaporean alleged that he helped the country to gain qualification for the football show piece four years ago.
 
 Coach Keshi, right, and John Mikel Obi are integral parts of Super Eagles

On the provisional squad, coach Keshi, through the Spokesman of the Eagles, Ben Alaiya, reportedly said last night that nobody can force him to include any player(s) he did not want in his team.
"The NFF is our parent body and should be concerned about team composition for the World Cup, because the body is made up of well-meaning Nigerians, but to be honest to Nigerians nobody in the NFF has come to me to say pick player A or B.
"They respect my job as the Head Coach and I respect them as my employers and there is no clash of interest," insisted the former Togo and Mali gaffer fondly called the Big Boss in his days as Nigerian captain.
It could be recalled that the media has been awash recently with reports credited to the ex-NNB and Eagles midfielder, Edema Fuludu, that Keshi was under great pressure to include certain players in his squad to Brazil.
Some of the players expected to be in the team when it is released include: Vincent Enyeama, Kenneth Omeruo, Godfrey Oboabona, Efe Ambrose, John Obi Mikel, Onazi, Emmanuel Emmenike, and Elderson Echiejile.
As at the time of writing this report, Nigerian are still debating whether the like of Chigozie Agbim, Ikechukwu Uche, Osaze Odemwingie and Chinedu Obasi would be included in the provisional list.

Pistorius' Housekeeper Was Inside Home During Shooting

Someone else was inside Oscar Pistorius' home in Pretoria, South Africa, the night the athlete shot his girlfriend to death -- his longtime housekeeper, Frank Chiziweni.

Chiziweni was sleeping in his room off from Pistorius’ kitchen on Valentine’s Day 2013. His presence was revealed in court Monday, when a neighbor testified that Chiziweni greeted her at the home. In the 16 months since the shooting, it was believed that only Pistorius and victim Reeva Steenkamp were in the residence.

The defense and prosecution have declined to call Chiziweni, a Malawian, to the stand. They believe he wouldn’t have said anything. Following the shooting, he told police that he “heard nothing” that night, sleeping through what witnesses who lived 200 yards away described as “bloodcurdling” screams.

Pistorius’ neighbors demonstrated those screams in court today. Witnesses Rita Motshuane and Eontle Hillary Nhlengethwa mimicked the high-pitched, almost howling cries they heard after Pistorius shot his girlfriend to death.

 

Pistorius is accused of premeditated murder in Steenkamp’s death, but he argued he mistook her for an intruder.

None of the witnesses called today heard a female scream, a stark contrast to the state’s witnesses, who testified about hearing screams and a woman’s voice.

Nhlengethwa’s husband, Mike Nhlengethwa, testified that Pistorius introduced Steenkamp to him as his fiancee, a meeting that occurred days before the shooting. When Nhlengethwa went to shake Steenkamp’s hand, she instead opened her arms and hugged him.

Nhlengethwa said Pistorius, with whom he shared a passion for cars, told him he wanted to move from Pretoria to Johannesburg, South Africa, to be with Steenkamp, a model and reality TV star.

Nhlengethwa was sad about the prospect of his neighbor moving away, but it was worth it for a woman like Steenkamp, he said.

The trial was adjourned to Thursday, as elections are scheduled for Wednesday in South Africa. Defense attorney Barry Roux apologized for not having more witnesses available to call today, but he reassured the court that it will not interfere with the trial’s projected time frame. Roux is confident that he will be able to end his case by next Tuesday, May 13. (Yahoo News)

Britain's Vainest Man has Spent over N25m Just on his Looks - See Photo

 

Personal trainer, Matt Dunford, proudly describes himself as 'Britain's vainest man', says he began his grooming regime aged 19, and has spent £100,000 on looking good. Dunford takes an hour to get ready for a night out, he once spent seven hours just preening himself.

And according to him, his hard work has paid off - he has never been turned down by a woman, has slept with more than 50 women, been on over 100 dates and has to fend off hordes of potential dates every time he goes out!

 

Here's what Dunford to Mailonline:

'I'm Britain's vainest man and I'm proud of it. Some people think I'm arrogant and I've had men start fights with me on nights out - but they're just jealous. There's nothing wrong with wanting to look good. I have been gifted with good genes and it's meant I've never suffered with self-confidence issues. 

Sometimes I'm out and I just want to have a quiet night and I'll be hounded by women
grabbing my bum. I can't really complain but it does get tiring. Past girlfriends have been really jealous of the female attention I get. There have even been Facebook spats between girls who want to be with me - it's crazy.'

 Despite spending a small fortune on his looks, Matt insists it is money well spent, and an investment in his future.

'My whole life and career is based around my looks - whether that be stripping, modeling or working as a personal trainer. I have to look good for the audience and my clients. I'm a walking advertisement for my services and my appearance and how I hold myself is very important. I know I make money and get business based on my looks, but I'd be mad not to take advantage of being so attractive. 

Among the treatments regularly enjoyed by the 29-year-old Londoner, who is also a fitness model and a Dreamboys stripper, include eyebrow shaping, lash tinting and spray tans, as well as manicures, pedicures, waxing and facials.
