Ex-militant bathes lover with acid - See Photo

According to source, an accidental meeting between 24-year-old hair stylist, Miss Juliet Osimen from Esan West Local Government Area, Edo State, and Austin, a native of Emu-Unoh, Ndokwa West Area, Delta State, in Warri, glued them together.Barely three years into the affair, Austin, shattered the promising life of his lover with a cruel acid bath.

Today, after battling to survive with a year-long intensive care at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, UBTH, Benin, Edo State, Juliet still requires over N5 million lifeline for a medical trip to Indian, as she struggles to pick up the pieces of her devastated life.

… in the beginning
Juliet met Austin while working at a fast food centre in the Niger Cat neighbourhood of Ekpan, Delta State, where her father, Pastor Sunday Osimen, farmer and Head at the Mountain of God’s Grace Ministry in the area, also owns a modest home.

Recalling the good times, Juliet said: “Austin was very generous in the relationship and often granted most of the requests I made. As a result, I hardly hesitated when he started making proposals for marriage and coming close to my family.

“When we met, he was living with his uncle at Nnewi Street, off Aka Avenue, Effurun.

“As the relationship grew, we rented a self-contained apartment at satellite Ugolo community, Okpe Council area, where we shared privacy occasionally, while I still lived with my parents.

‘My fears’
“Though, I cherished his uncommon generosity towards me and my siblings, I started getting worried about the source of his income, which to me did not connect with the generator repairs job he told me he does for a living.

“My suspicions were confirmed the day we went to Obiaruku for the marriage of his friend. There is a particular bag he does not allow me or anyone else touch at all.

“This fateful day, as he was having an after wedding drinking spree with friends in the hotel we lodged, I opened the secret bag in our room.

“I was shocked by two items I found. An identity card as a Federal Government Amnesty beneficiary and a document list of guns and other dangerous weapons submitted by his group during the arms mop up.
 

“From that moment, my interest in the affair died and I wanted out immediately. I knew I was living with an unrepentant criminal because he is easily irritated and always bragging about how tough he is and how he can deal with anyone and go away with it.

Conflict
 

“That night at Obiaruku, I confronted him on his criminal identity and why he kept it from me. He said he was worried I would leave him and he does not want to lose me.

“That moment, I made it clear I was no longer interested and would not marry a criminal disguising as repentant. I meant every word of it.

“But I knew it was dangerous to make a sudden quit, so I started limiting my contact with him and thinking of how best to stop the affair permanently.

“Then, I further learned that the man I was planning to marry is a father of three, married to a woman elsewhere.
 

“I confronted him. He admitted and again said he kept that from me for fear of losing me. He said he could not do without me, so he wants me as second wife. I said over my dead body.

… and the threats began

“As I gradually limited my contact with him, he introduced a catch phrase whenever the issue of breaking the relationship came up.
 

“He would say, ‘You can’t leave me. If you try it, I will so damage you that no man would want to look at you, so I will still be the only one to marry you.’

“I could tell from his anger and tone, whenever he says it, that this was no empty threat, but I needed to get out of the affair.
“I trained as a hair stylist and work for a salon owner, while also doing home service for some clients on Sundays.

“One Sunday, I was home fixing a customer’s hair when my phone rang. It was Austin’s call so I ignored it.

“Usually, he is very jealous and gets upset if he does not know my whereabouts and cannot get me on the phone for a second and he can beat me for that.

Pulling a knife; the acid bath
 

“At night at Ugolo that day, he pulled a knife from the kitchen, threatening to kill me, saying he saw a man taking me out the period I failed to pick his call.

“I was afraid he could harm me so I refused confrontation with him before he dropped the knife. Next morning, he came to my work place apologizing for his action after complaining to my madam.

“The evening of the Monday (February 25, 2013) preceding the Sunday he threatened me with a knife at Ugolo, I refused his calls again after closing from work and went to my parents’ home.

“He then called my younger sister, asking if my parents were home. That was about midnight.
 

“It was very hot that night. At some minutes to 1am, February 26, I had just my towel tied on me when I slept close to the window.

“Suddenly, I heard and felt a shower of liquid from outside through the window. The person aimed and poured it all over my body as I lay faced up.

“Immediately, I started shouting, ‘Igwe (Austin) had poured acid on me’ repeatedly and ran out as the liquid was burning my body. I saw him running away.”

A father’s story
Her father, Pastor Osimen, said he and the wife, Caroline, were at their farmhouse at Orega, along Sapele Road, where they farm most weekdays before retiring home to the children and church service on Sunday, when he got a distressing message.

He said: “I was contacted after she had been rushed to the Ekpan General Hospital. I returned from the farming expedition and lodged complaint at the Ekpan Police Division.

“We could not focus on the police case because saving my daughter’s life first was uppermost.
 

“From Ekpan General Hospital, she was referred to the Oghara Teaching Hospital, Oghara in Delta State. From there, she was referred to the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, UBTH, in Benin, Edo State.

“She was under intensive care at UBTH for almost a year with the medical bill rising to N2 million, way beyond my purse. But by some divine intervention, some persons from the Edo State government, I guess, came and settled the huge bill before she was discharged.”

Arrested
Pastor Osimen asserted, “back to Delta at the close of 2014, we opened the case to prosecute Austin at the Warri Area Command.

“After two years in hiding, within which even his uncle at Aka Avenue also relocated to unknown location, the police caught him, last month.”
It was learned that a source who knew him, noticed that he was in custody at the Ekpan Police Station, having been arrested and brought from Lagos in connection with a kidnap case.

According to Juliet’s father, “when I met him at Ekpan Police Station, I said to him, ‘Igwe is this you?’ he replied, ‘Daddy, I beg.’
 

“I said, ‘you are begging to go free after deliberately maiming my daughter?’”

N5m lifeline to save a soul
Austin’s trial was supposed to start, Thursday, January 29, at an Effurun court in the state.

At press time, the suspect was on remand at the Warri prisons.
Juliet’s doctor said at least N5 million was required for further treatment abroad to further manage the dreadful scars of the acid burns, especially her face and the chest region, as well as the health challenges the attack still posed to her.

Juliet said: “It is hard to explain how bad and demoralized I feel over this condition I have found myself.

“I am, however, very grateful to God and those who have assisted me. But I need to be able to fulfill my dreams in life. I was to sit for JAMB before the attack.

“I still want to get higher education; I still want to be useful to myself. Now I can hardly do anything meaningful.”
Joined by his wife, Pastor Osimen said: “We are appealing to the public to please help us and our daughter with donations to go to India for her surgery.

“May God help you as you send your donations to Osimen Sunday, First Bank of Nigeria Plc, account number, 3054669825.”

‘I wish I was the mother of all his kids; the seven of them’ – Annie Idibia

In the latest issue of Motherhood In-Style magazine, Nollywood actress and wife to Nigerian entertainer 2face Idibia, Annie Idibia is the cover star.

With lovely editorial spreads with her daughters Isabella and Olivia, Annie Idibia talks to the magazine about her parents getting divorced, how it affected her, being married to 2face, his children from other women, her pregnancies and much more.

Annie Idibia’s feature in the magazine covers 13 pages and is very detailed about her life as a mother and wife.

Read excerpts from her interview below:

On her parents divorcing when she was young: It affected us negatively. It was so hard on us then. It’s not an experience I would want my kids to have to go through because when you’re used to being with two people and suddenly, you’re caught between who you’re going to live with or mummy takes you and you are left wondering why daddy didn’t. It is so emotional.

On how it affected her: My mum is a very strong woman, she scaled through it…My mum was a full housewife when she was with my dad, but after the divorce she had to work to take care of her 4 kids, and we all had to do minor jobs to help out. Maybe if I didn’t go through that I wouldn’t understand the pains of divorce and how it would affect the children. At the same time, I’ve learnt that life is not a bed of roses. That experience has made me more focused and stronger. It’s made me the woman that I am and a better mother to my kids. Then, it makes me bent on ensuring that my marriage works too so my children won’t have to go through divorce and all the pains associated with it.

On being married to 2face Idibia: No, I’m married to Innocent, one of the most amazing men in the world. I want to believe our marriage is almost like every other marriage. He’s a good person a good dad, great husband, a wonderful brother-in-law and son-in-law, and he’s all that I thought he would be as a husband and more.

On the low and high points of their relationship: I think it would be the first time I heard that other people were having his baby, the second should be when we both sat down and agreed to end the relationship. We realized it couldn’t work and decided to break up. That was after I had Isabella. His proposal was a high point; the way he went about it was special. And my wedding! I didn’t think we were going to end up together, and that’s the honest truth.

On making changes: I wish I was the mother of all his kids; the seven of them. But they are my kids; I just wish I was their biological mum. They’re awesome; you can’t help but love them. Everything else has made everything better.

On how his other kids affect their marriage: I won’t say it’s easy, I will not lie to you. I mean, you have kids with people, are you going to be their enemy? You have to have at least some civil relationship with them; you have to be very civil but God has been very faithful, and it’s still God all the way because it’s really not easy. I do not regret being with my husband but I would not want my daughter to be married to a man that has kids with other women, naturally. You know, it doesn’t make me love him less or feel like I don’t want to be here, I’m happy that I’m here, I don’t love him less, but I would not wish that for my daughter because even if the man is in, how about the other parties involved? But then, like I said, it’s key to be civil.

On her pregnancy: I had CS for both kids. With Isabel it was good but with Olivia, it was horrible. I was sick all through my second pregnancy, and it was difficult. With Isabel, it was easy.

You Wan Go Heaven But You No Wan Die,Lol: Mad Man Sends Church Members Scampering in Very Direction For Safety

IT was pandemonium when a ‘mad man’ dressed and swaddled in multi-coloured fabrics saun-tered in the worship centre of Glory Chapel of the Redeem-ed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Agbelekale, Abule Egba, Lagos, last Sunday sending choristers, members of the church scampering in every direction seeking safe haven.
 

The middle-aged man bran-dishing a heavy stone in his right hand and a tiny piece of freshly sawed piece of wood from a nearby carpenter’s workshop was said to have walked out of the church almost immediately but made a return bid, this time with ferocious campaign just as the parish pastor, Pastor Ladi Akinsanya was telling the congregants about a special guest minister.

The entry of the ‘mad man’ interrupted the announcement as worshippers made for any and every escape route out of the church. Sensing the mood of the church, a middle-aged man simply identified as Baba Dominion was said to have taken a bold step and grabbed the ‘mad man’ from behind creating an opportunity for another to disarm him.

Pastor Akinsanya intervened at this moment, screaming; “Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord” and “Amen, Amen, Amen” interm-ittently obviously trying to calm down the congregation su-ggesting that the “mad man”, as it turned out an evangelical drama minister, was one of the special guests expected to minister at the service.

It took quite a while for me-mbers of the church to settle down to listen to the mini-stration of the “mad man” who immediately capitalized on the confusion to begin preaching, saying “all sins are like mad men before God and just you all were running from me, so God Almighty will detest all sins including female who deliberately entice men via the exposition of their bodies, on the last day.”

He stressed the need for all those who are called by the name of Jesus to be prepared at all times, for the trumpet might sound any moment, stressing that only those who are blameless will be raptured and will reign with the Lord.

After the ministration, the outgoing pastor in charge of RCCG Place of Refuge Area, Pastor Kola Ajiboye who had come to introduce his replace-ment, Pastor Gbenga Adesan-ya to the congregation, prayed for the members and called on them to cooperate with his replacement, adding that it was imperative for him to go so that Elisha would begin his ministry

May His Gentle Soul Continue To Rest In The Bosom Of The Lord!!

Photo: Danish Woman Delivers Unusual Triplets

A Danish woman was reported to have delivered unusual triplets. The rare babies have turned a center of media attraction as she has been offered millions of dollars for an exclusive lifetime documentary of the babies lives.

For me I don't know what to make of them. They have all the features for healthy babies but then you can tell something is wrong. Their ears are very big, they're unnaturally hairy and their faces reminds me of alien movies. But I think it's sweet how they are all cuddled up like that. Hopefully if they live we will get to read more about them in the near future.

OMG!!! Kardashian Maid Spills Their Secrets: Who's the Nicest of Them All?

As you might expect, the Kardashian family employs a very large staff.

The upside of filling your house with an army of workers to attend to your every need is that you can go the rest of your life without ever lifting a finger.

The downside is that there are now dozens of people who know your darkest secrets and can probably be bought very cheap.

Housekeepers, chaffeurs, and nannies are often sources of gossip gold and the latest stars to be victimized by someone who once washed their underwear are none other than the members of reality TV's first family:

Not surprising: Scott's a slob. Surprising: He and Kourtney sleep as far away from each other as possible. "Scott was a complete and utter mess,” the maid claims. “He’d leave food everywhere and crumbs covered his bed, which was on the opposite side of the house from Kourtney.

 

Star magazine claims to have some dirt from the Kardashians former maid, and the inside info does not disappoint Some highlights:

• Scott Disick is Always drunk: "He would leave empty bottles of alcohol all over the place," says the maid. "One day while I was cleaning Scott's bathroom, I came across a white powdered substance."
• Bruce Jenner's sex change: sound like it's really going down: The maid describes finding lingerie under Bruce's bed. Guess those weren't just tabloid rumors, after all.
• Kim is actually nice: Despite what you may have heard, it seems the most famous Kardashian is also one of the nicest: "She's extremely humble and down to earth," says the housekeeper, adding that Kim's been known to give the staff extravagant Christmas presents."

Don't worry, there's more. Much, much more, in fact. Jump into the gallery to find out who's the rudest Kardashian, who bumps into walls when they're drunk, and who stinks so bad it literally sent shivers down our source's spine.

Yes, even the rich and famous can suffer from wicked B.O.

How Much Toothpaste Should You Use To Brush Your Teeth

Brushing your teeth daily is one of the routine hygienic activities that is very central to our healthy living. It is so important that we have to do it twice a day. In all of this we need to the careful about using our toothpaste excessively. I was watching the program DOCTORS sometimes ago when this topic was briefly discussed. I went on to do my own research and came up with different inferences.

The main reason we use the toothpaste is for a good supply of fluoride. if we have other sources of fluoride then we may not need toothpaste at all.

In addition, an important fact to know if you suffer from canker sores, the foam producing compound sodium lauryl sulfate, which is found in many toothpastes, has been linked to causing it.  So, if you are prone to canker sores, avoid toothpastes containing that ingredient.

Fluoride has health benefits for your teeth and that my family uses fluoride containing toothpastes to protect and strengthen our teeth. The fluoride in toothpaste is antibacterial and helps to add mineral to your teeth. You could get the same effect by simply using a fluoride mouthwash.

Conclusion

All you need is a pea-sized amount of toothpaste to clean your mouth. Excess will just mean you are exposing yourself to unhealthy levels of fluoride.

You should use half of a pea size for children between the ages of 5 and 12. While you should just use just a streak for infants.

Stay Healthy!!!
