Police arrest 12 teenage suspects over lesbianism in Lagos

file photo

Hell was let loose, last week, in Oto-Owori area, Ijanikin, Lagos State, after a 16-year-old member of the famous Abogun family, made startling confessions about how she was initiated into cultism and lesbianism by the younger sister of her uncle’s wife. Parents of the victim who were shocked by the confession reportedly alerted the police after she was caught while attempting to sneak out of the house with some items demanded by her cult members.

According to the victim (names withheld), who completed her secondary education in June,

 “it was Tope who introduced me into lesbianism and cultism early last year. On Friday, at about 7-8pm, I received a call from Tope that I should bring my red jacket, which is the cult uniform and a jack-knife for her. 
While I was attempting to sneak out of the house to meet her, I was accosted by my brothers who checked the bag I was carrying and found the cult jacket and the jack-knife. They called on my parents who demanded to know how I got those items.

“Initially, she forced me into becoming her lesbian partner. She threatened me that if I failed to do it, my life was at stake. When I became her lover, we took a blood oath as Tope used a blade to cut my hand and licked the blood. She also cut her hand and asked me to lick the blood. She threatened that she must not see me with anyone, whether male or female but she was free to go out with others as she has other lovers. I have been her lover for over a year now and I became her lover before I completed my secondary education.

“After Tope introduced me to lesbianism, she forced me into their cult. The night I was initiated into Aiye cult, I was blindfolded. Members of the cult gave me a gun to take an oath, declaring that I would not reveal anything about the cult to anyone. They said if I ever revealed anything about the cult to anyone, the same gun that I used to take the oath would be used to take my life. Thereafter, about twenty of the males present at the initiation slept with me one after the other.

“Two months ago, I stole my father’s N50, 000 and gave to her. There was a time she gave me a gun to keep for her. I kept the gun in my book-shelf two days. She gave the gun to me because she said she couldn’t take it home. Later, she collected it and gave it to a member of the cult. I really don’t know what they use the weapon for. The red jacket which is the cult uniform was given to me by Segun. He is the leader of the Aiye cult. Since I became a member, I haven’t been able to go anywhere with them because of how difficult it is for me to leave home as my parents don’t allow me out after 6pm, and most of their activities are usually in the night. There was a time they asked me to trail my elder brother because they said he is arrogant.”

In her defence, 18-year-old Tope (surname withheld) who initially confessed that she gave the gun to Kemi to keep because she could not take it home, later denied the allegation that she is a cultist.

According to her, “I have known Kemi from my childhood. I am a salesgirl. I was arrested because the victim said I introduced her into cultism and lesbianism but I am not a cultist, and she didn’t give me money.

“I have not seen Kemi for more than a month now, since my birthday which I celebrated on June 21. Although they fired a gun at my birthday party, I don’t know who fired the gunshot but Samuel was with a gun that night, and I know that Samuel is a cultist and he attended my birthday party. It was a cult guy called Daddy that threatened that if I refuse to join their cult, he will deal with me and shoot me in the legs with a gun.”

Crime Alert gathered that young girls were recruited into the cult group as they are used as armourers who keep the ammunitions for them any time they go for operation. It was learned that based on the revelations, the Divisional Police Officer in-charge of Ijanikin Division of Lagos State, SP Robinson Eregare, swung into action and succeeded in clamping down on all the suspected cultists connected with the victim’s initiation. Among those arrested were Musa Kareem, Austine Ebosoje and ten others.

Confirming the incident, Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Kenneth Nwosu said Temitope Famati, an 18-year-old lesbian, Ogunsan Kemi , another 20-year-old lesbian, Oseni Lukman, 30; Chidi Okafor, 25; Musa Kareem, 26; Austine Ebozoje, a 19- year-old pirate, Segun Sowumi, Olatokunbo Babatunde, 18; Gbelebu Samuel, 17 and Hussan Azeez, 30, were among the cultists arrested so far.

Incredible story! Burmese fisherman goes home after 22 years as a slave

This is the moving story of a fisherman forced to work as a slave for 22 years..His incredible journey from slavery to freedom was documented by AP

Myint Naing was willing to risk everything to see his mother again. In 1990, his father drowned while fishing, leaving him as the man in charge at just 15. He helped cook, wash clothes and care for his siblings, but they kept sliding deeper into poverty.

So when a fast-talking broker visited the neighborhood three years later with stories of jobs in Thailand, Myint was easily wooed. The agent offered $300 for just a few months of work — enough for some families to survive on for a year. He and several other young men quickly put their hands up to go.

His mother, Khin Than, wasn't so sure. He was only 18-years-old, with no education or travel experience. But he kept begging, arguing that he wouldn't be gone long and relatives already working there could look after him.Finally, she relented.

Neither of them knew it but, at that moment, Myint began a journey that would take him thousands of miles away from his family. He would miss births, deaths, marriages and the unlikely transition of his country from a dictatorship to a bumpy democracy. 

He would run away twice from the ruthless forced labour on a fishing boat, only to realise that he could never escape from the shadow of fear.

Yet on the day he left home in 1993, all Myint saw was promise. The broker hustled his new recruits to grab their bags immediately, and Myint's 10-year-old sister wiped tears from her cheeks as she watched him walk down the dirt track away from their village.

His mother wasn't home. He never got to say goodbye. 

After easily skirting police at the border with Thailand and being held in a small shed with little food for more than a month, Myint was shoved onto a boat. The men were at sea for 15 days and finally docked in the far eastern corner of Indonesia. The captain shouted that everyone on board now belonged to him, using words Myint would never forget:

'You Burmese are never going home. You were sold, and no one is ever coming to rescue you.'

He was panicked and confused. He thought he would be fishing in Thai waters for only a few months. Instead the boys were taken to the Indonesian island of Tual in the Arafura Sea, one of the world's richest fishing grounds, stocked with tuna, mackerel, squid, shrimp and other lucrative species for export.

Myint spent weeks at a time on the open ocean, living only on rice and the parts of the catch no one else would eat. During the busiest times, the men worked up to 24 hours a day, hoisting heavy nets rippling with fish. They were forced to drink foul-tasting boiled sea water.

His mother collapsed after seeing him..

He was paid only $10 a month, and sometimes not at all. There was no medicine. Anyone who took a break or fell ill was beaten by the Thai captain, who once lobbed a piece of wood at Myint for not moving fish fast enough.

Nearly half the Burmese men surveyed by the AP said they were beaten, or witnessed others being abused. They were made to work almost nonstop for nearly no pay, with little food and unclean water.

They were whipped with toxic stingray tails, shocked with Taser-like devices and locked in a cage for taking breaks or attempting to flee. Sometimes, the men said, the bodies of those who died were stashed in the ship's freezer alongside the fish.

By 1996, after three years, he had had enough. Penniless and homesick, he waited until his boat returned to Tual. Then he went into the office on the dock and, for the first time, asked to go home.

His request was answered by a helmet cracking his skull. As blood oozed out, he used both hands to hold the wound together. The Thai man who hit him repeated the words that already haunted him:

'We will never let you Burmese fishermen go. Even when you die.'

That was the first time he ran away.

An Indonesian family took mercy on Myint until he healed, and then offered him food and shelter in exchange for work on their farm. 

For five years, he lived this simple life and tried to erase memories of the horrors at sea. He learned to speak the Indonesian language fluently and acquired a taste for the food, even though it was much sweeter than the salty Burmese dishes his mother fixed.

But he couldn't forget his relatives in Myanmar or the friends he left behind on the boat. What happened to them? Were they still alive?..

I n 2001, he heard one captain was offering to take fishermen back to Myanmar if they agreed to work. He was determined to find a way home. So, eight years after he first arrived in Indonesia, he returned to the sea.

Right away, he knew he had fallen into the same trap again. The work and conditions were just as appalling as the first time, and the money still didn't come.After nine months on the water, Myint's captain broke his promise and told the crew he was abandoning them to go back to Thailand alone.

Furious and desperate, the Burmese slave once again pleaded to go home. That, he said, was when the captain chained him to the boat for three days.

Myint searched wildly for something, anything, to open the lock. Working it with his fingers was useless. Then he managed to fashion a small piece of metal into a makeshift pick and spent hours trying to quickly and quietly unlatch freedom. Finally, there was a click. The shackles slid off. He knew there wasn't much time, and if he got caught, death would come swiftly.

Sometime after midnight, he dove into the black water and swam to shore. Then he ran without looking back, in clothes still weighted by sea water.

He knew he had to disappear. This time, for good. 

After he ran the second time, Myint hid alone in a bamboo shack in the jungle. But just three years later, he fell ill with what appeared to be a stroke. His nerves seemed to stop firing properly, leaving him easily chilled despite the oppressive tropical heat.

When he became too sick to work, the same Indonesian family cared for him with a kindness that reminded him of relatives back home. He had forgotten what his mother looked like, and knew that by now his favourite little sister would be all grown up. They likely thought he was dead...

What he didn't know was that his mother was like him: She never gave up. She prayed for him every day at the little Buddhist altar in her family's traditional stilt house, and asked fortune tellers year after year about her son. They assured her he was alive, but in a faraway place difficult to leave.

After eight more years in the jungle without a clock or calendar, time began to blur. Now in his 30s, he started to believe the captain had been right: There really was no escape.

He couldn't go to the police or local officials, afraid they might hand him over to the captains for a fee. He had no way to call home. And he was scared to contact the Myanmar embassy because it would expose him as an illegal migrant.

In 2011, the solitude had become too much. Myint moved to the island of Dobo, where he had heard there were more Burmese. He and two other runaway slaves farmed chilies, eggplant, peas and beans until the police arrested one in the market and put him back on a boat. The man later fell sick at sea and died.....

One day in April, a friend came to him with news: An AP report linking slavery in the seafood industry to some of the biggest American grocery stores and pet food companies had spurred the Indonesian government to start rescuing current and former slaves on the islands. To date, more than 800 have been found and repatriated.

This was his chance. When the officials came to Dobo, he went back with them to Tual, where he was once a slave — this time to join hundreds of other free men.

After 22 years in Indonesia, Myint was finally going home...

They wailed and wept so loudly, the whole village emerged to see what seemed like a ghost. 'That guy's been gone for 20 years,' one man said.

Myint, his mother and his sister walked arm-in-arm to the simple stilt house of his childhood. 

As his sister helped wash his hair, his 60-year-old mother turned pale and collapsed against a bamboo ladder. Then, suddenly, she grabbed her heart and began to gasp for air. Relatives and neighbors fanned her and fetched water and a lime to smell, but her eyes rolled back into her head. Someone yelled that she wasn't breathing.

Myint ran to her, dripping wet, and blew three breaths into her mouth.

'Open your eyes! Open your eyes!' he screamed, beating his chest with both hands. 'I'll look after you from now on! I will make you happy! I don't want to see you sick! I am back home!'

She slowly revived, and Myint took a long look into her eyes...He was finally free to see the face from his dreams. He would never forget it again.

Robot kills worker at Volkswagen plant in Germany

A robot has killed a contractor at one of Volkswagen’s production plants in Germany, the automaker has said.

The man died on Monday at the plant in Baunatal, about 100km (62 miles) north of Frankfurt, VW spokesman Heiko Hillwig said.

The 22-year-old was part of a team that was setting up the stationary robot when it grabbed and crushed him against a metal plate, Hillwig said.

He said initial conclusions indicate that human error was to blame, rather than a problem with the robot, which can be programmed to perform various tasks in the assembly process.

He said it normally operates within a confined area at the plant, grabbing auto parts and manipulating them.
Another contractor was present when the incident occurred, but was not harmed, Hillwig said. He declined to give any more details about the case, citing an ongoing investigation.

German news agency DPA reported that prosecutors were considering whether to bring charges, and if so, against whom.

How to get in the right mood ..,

Part One of Two:
Cultivating Happier Habits

1. 
   

   

   Well, I was feeling kinda moody for no reason then i googled how to get on d right mood and saw this..,, I think this is amazing .... Apart from the first one ...cos I don't Hv a lover to help me on dat... Lol
   1
   Don't take love for granted. If you're lucky enough to have a special someone, then you should make your time together meaningful. Don't stop doing the things you love with the person you love, making time to say "I love you", or just spending time with your special someone. Being around your loved one and having positive interactions with him or her has been proven to make people happier, so don't shrug off this obvious mood-lifter if you have the chance to use it.

   • If you do have a partner, then having regular sex, at least a few times a week, has proven to help people stay in a good mood, too!
   • You may think that, just because your worries are work or school related, that your loved one won't be able to make you feel better about it. That's where you're wrong!
2. 
   

   
   2
   Get regular exercise. This will release endorphins that will improve your mood. Regular exercise is one of the most important habits that you want to cultivate. On average, you should get at least 30 minutes of exercise a day, but you don't have to do the same boring old thing every day. You can go running three times a week and walk the other four; you can do yoga four times a week and give yourself an off day or two. Just make sure to be as active as you can every day, whether this means taking the stairs instead of the elevator or walking instead of driving.
3. 
   

   
   3
   Spend time with your friends.Hanging out with friends will keep you feeling energized, excited about being alive, and like you're really spending time with the people who care about you. Of course, if you're always hanging out with friends when you have a free moment, you may actually feel a bit overwhelmed and like you have no time to decompress. Make sure you do make time to see friends at least once or twice a week, if you can. The next time your friends beg you to come out when you're feeling too lazy or sorry for yourself, come out! You'll feel better right away.

   • Of course, if you're not feeling it, you don't have to hang out with your friends. But if you make spending time with friends a bigger priority, then this habit will lead to a better mood, long term.
   • And hey, if you spend time with friends who tend to be happy and love laughter, then they'll make you feel happier, too. If you're hanging out with a bunch of Debbie Downers, then you won't be on your way to a better mood.
4. 
   

   
   4
   Get enough sleep. Make sure to sleep for at least 7-8 hours a day and to go to bed and wake up around the same time every night to get into a healthy routine. One of the easiest ways to stay in a good mood is to be well-rested. Waking up feeling full of energy will make you feel much more ready to face the day and much more excited about everything ahead of you -- and more capable of dealing with it. Make sure that sleep is a priority over watching late-night TV or doing other tasks you can save until the morning.
5. 
   

   
   5
   Think positive thoughts before bed and after you wake up.Read a good book or watch a feel-good movie and then journal before you go to bed. Have a positive conversation with your loved one before you drift off. Whatever you do, don't do anything too stressful, like writing a paper or upsetting, like watching crimes on the nightly news, before you drift off, or you'll be more likely to have bad dreams and restless sleep and to wake up cranky.

   • When you get up, read a good book or the sports section of the paper. Don't jump right into disturbing daily news or you'll be getting up on the wrong side of the bed. Also, give yourself a few minutes of peace before you turn on your phone or computer; this will help you feel like you're present in the moment before you really start your day.
6. 
   

   
   6
   Have a healthy eating schedule. If you want to stay in a good mood, then you have to make sure to eat three healthy and diverse meals every day. Start off with a healthy breakfast, which can have lean proteins like turkey and healthy veggies like spinach, and don't skip this meal no matter what. Have light snacks throughout the day, like yogurt or fruit, to keep you energized, and avoid overeating or going more than three hours without eating at least a little something. Your energy levels affect your mood, and it's important to have regular and healthy meals to feel up to speed.
7. 
   

   
   7
   Hydrate. You may start to feel less happy because you're getting lethargic as a result of not drinking enough. Drinking a glass of water will instantly wake up your mind and body. Make sure to drink at least 8-10 glasses of water a day. You may be lacking hydration without even knowing it.
8. 
   

   
   8
   Make time for your passion.Whether you're working on your novel or love sculpting, make sure to give yourself enough time to pursue your passion throughout the week, even if it feels like you have a million other things going on. At the end of the day, doing what you really love will make you feel better than doing what you really need to do, and if you want to be a happy person who is able to stay in a good mood, then you've got to make time for what you really love.
9. 
   

   
   9
   Volunteer. Giving your time on a regular basis will definitely make you stay in a good mood more often. You'll feel good about helping people, whether you're helping adults learn to read, cleaning up a local park, or volunteering at a soup kitchen. Helping people and making other people happier on the regular will actually make you happier, too.
10. 
    

    
    10
    Meditate. Take just 10 minutes out of your day to find a comfortable seat in a quiet room, focus on your breath, and feel each of your body parts relaxing, one at a time. Focus only on your breath rising in and out of your body and let the rest of your thoughts melt away. Making a habit of meditating every morning, evening, or whatever you feel like it has been proven to help people stay in a good mood.

    • If meditation isn't your thing, you can also try yoga, which can also help you focus, unwind, and live a happier life.
11. 
    

    
    11
    Make a plan for the future.Though you may not be in a good mood just because you didn't get enough sleep or for another reason that can be addressed pretty easily, you may not be able to stay in a good mood because of some bigger problem, such as the fact that you think your job is utterly meaningless, that you feel like you're in a dead-end relationship, or that you don't feel happy with who you are. If you think there are deep, underlying causes to the fact that your mood keeps souring, then you may have to make a game plan for addressing the larger issues that are bothering you.
12. 
    

    
    12
    Don't let the little things get to you. A lot of people lose their good moods because they get upset about things like losing their umbrellas, having a bad interaction with a mean coworker, or being stuck in traffic. Sure, these little things are annoying on your own, but you have to learn to remind yourself that in the long run, none of these things will really matter to you. Focus on the happiness of the bigger picture and learn to say, "Well, that wasn't great, but it's not going to ruin my mood!"

    • It takes practice to be all zen and not let the outside world get to you. If you need time, take time to understand what happened, see how you can learn from it, and then move right on.

       2
       Write down your thoughts.Whether you have a journal or a blog, making a habit of writing down your thoughts at least a few times a week can help you stay in a better mood. Journaling allows you some quiet time and lets you reflect on the things that happened to you so you don't feel overwhelmed by them later. It helps you focus on what is important to you and allows you to forget about your phone, your Facebook, or any other distractions in your life while you focus on the things that really matter to you.
    2. 
       

       
       3
       Do something you've been putting off. Maybe you've felt your mood ebbing a bit because you've been putting off apologizing to that friend, calling that wedding coordinator, cleaning your room, writing that memo, or just doing something that has been nagging away at you for a few days. Though you may be dreading it, once you do it, you'll feel happier! You'll be surprised by the difference this makes in your mood.
    3. 
       

       
       4
       Spend time with your pet. If you're at home and feel a bad mood coming on, or if you just want to develop positive habits, spending some quality time with your pet will instantly elevate your mood. Just spending a few minutes cuddling with and petting your loved one can definitely cheer you up. And if you don't have a pet but know someone who does, hang out with your friendand his or her cuddly critter.
    4. 
       

       
       5
       Be present. Living in the moment on a daily basis can really help you stay in a good mood. Instead of worrying about that thing you said to your friend two weeks ago or stressing out over that project that's due in three months, focus on whatever you're doing and give your energy and attention to it. When you're with your friends, give them all of your attention. If you're reading a book, put your phone away. If you're walking, notice the houses around you instead of fretting. Living in the moment like this will make a big impact on your mood.
    5. 
       

       
       6
       Do a random act of kindness.Doing good things for other people will make you feel good. Whether you're picking up lunch for a sick friend, doing extra chores for your mom, or helping your neighbor water her lawn, just taking the time to care about helping someone else will help you get outside your own head, and actually will make you feel happier.
    6. 
       

       
       7
       Take a walk. If you're suddenly feeling yourself get grumpy or sad, step outside for a walk. Just walking for twenty minutes will elevate your mood, give you fresh air, let you spend some time in the sunlight, and make you feel more energized for whatever task lies ahead. Don't think that you're too busy for a walk -- anyone has time for just a few minutes of outdoor walking, and it's guaranteed to make you feel happier and more productive.

       • One of the reasons you may not be staying in a good mood is just because you've been cooped up working all day. Get outside!
    7. 
       

       
       8
       Take a break. Yeah, you've been typing for work for 4 hours straight and suddenly feel like you can't breathe and your soul is getting crushed. This is perfectly natural. Now, do something about it by taking a break, whether this means chatting up a co-worker, calling your mom, taking a walk outside to get coffee, or doing ten minutes of yoga. Just stop doing what you've been doing, and when you return to your task, you'll be feeling more alert and more ready to get back to your work.
    8. 
       

       
       9
       Socialize (with anyone).Though talking to your friends when you're feeling low is a great option, they won't always be around. But socializing with just anyone, whether you take a few minutes to ask your coworker about his weekend or you chat with the barista at your favorite coffee shop, will elevate your mood, too. Just getting out there and talking to people will make you feel less lonely and isolated, and will keep you from being down in the dumps. You should make this part of your daily routine, especially if the work you do doesn't allow you to socialize too much.
    9. 
       

       
       10
       Make a gratitude list. If you feel your good mood fading, take out a piece of paper and spend 5-10 minutes writing down all of the things you're grateful for. This can be anything from your health to the amazing ice cream shop across the street. Keep writing, no matter how small or silly you think the thing you're grateful for is. Once you finish your list, read it over -- see if you can keep yourself from smiling! It'll be impossible.
    10. 
        

        
        11
        Touch your toes. Just stand up and bend down to touch your toes for a few seconds -- you don't have to actually reach them. This action wakes up the hips, where a lot of people store their tension, especially if they've been sitting for a while, and will make you feel happier. Once you get down there, slowly roll up, one vertebrae at a time, and you'll feel your outlook getting better.
    11. 
        

        
        12
        Take a trip down memory lane. If you need a mood boost, pull out an old album or even scroll through your earliest Facebook photos. This will make you smile or even laugh as you think about old times, and will keep you from fretting or getting sad. Along with this, you should display your photos prominently, whether they are on your fridge or on your desk, because seeing them regularly and thinking of all of your great memories is guaranteed to make you feel happier, and to stay happy on a regular basis.
    12. 
        

        
        13
        Mark an upcoming event on your calendar. Is there a concert you're really looking forward to in three weeks? Is your sister visiting you next month? Is your best friend getting married at the end of the summer? Placing events that you're really looking forward to on your calendar will make you think happier thoughts about what lies ahead, and will keep you more happy about the present, too.
    13. 
        

        
        14
        Thank someone. Take the time to thank people for what they have done for you, no matter how small the act will seem. This will make them feel better, and will make you feel happier in the process. You can even write "thank you" cards to show your appreciation for all of the things people have done for you. Taking the time to do this will make you a more grateful person and will make you happy on a daily basis.
