I was the only senator from Kebbi that rejected OBJ's N50m 3rd term bribe- Dep. Senate leader Bala Ibn Na’Allah says

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has come under attack following his comment yesterday that the recent revelations from alleged budget padding in the House of Representatives confirms his position that the National Assembly is filled with rogues and thieves.


Reacting to his comment, deputy Senate leader, Bala Ibn Na’Allah in a statement said he finds Obasanjo's comment reckless and terrifying.


According to him, he was the only senator from Kebbi state that did not collect N50 million that was being shared to senators to amend the constitution for Obasanjo's third term bid “I am respectfully taking exception to the statement which I express the hope is not true. To start with, it is not in my character to join issues with an elder statesmen who have had the privilege of superintending over the affairs of our great country Nigeria. This exception has become necessary in view of the enormity of the alleged statement to my person and integrity.


If former President Obasanjo can come out with one proven record of corruption against me as a person, I promise to vacate my seat as a senator of the federal republic of Nigeria. For the records, I was the only member from Kebbi State who did not find it worthy at that time of collecting the sum of N50 million as an inducement to subvert the constitution and provide a constitutional framework for the third term ambition of President Obasanjo. I find this statement if it is true to be reckless and terrifying.


The implications of the statement is to say that the entire over 170 million Nigerians have not elected a single person with integrity among the 469 members of the National Assembly. This is definitely rhapsodic and does not conform to common sense and reason” he said

Photos: Pastor accused of having s*x with female member inside church's praying room in Zimbabwe

Pastor Joseph, pictured above, of the Holy Fire Ministries in Waterfalls, Zimbabwe was last Sunday July 24th dragged before the church's elders after one of his female members confessed that the pastor had sex with her at the Church's prayer room.


The victim approached the elders after she discovered that her belly was swelling and itching even though pregnancy tests proved she was not expecting. “My tummy is just swelling and I am in pain. I suspect Pastor Joseph could have bewitched me after he forced me to have unprotected sex with him. Pastor Joseph asked me to see him after church service sometime in April for prayers but the prayers could not be conducted as he asked for sexual favours. Since he is single, I gave in after he promised to marry me and buy a car for me and from that time he accommodated me over night. He refused to use protection claiming that he is a holy man that cannot live with HIV but now I feel cheated, abused and dumped because he is no longer answering my calls from the day I told him about the pregnancy. Results from the pregnancy tests are negative and the doctor instructed me to go for a scan and Pastor Joseph promised to meet the costs but is now playing hide and seek. What I want from Pastor Joseph is for him to explain and give me assurances that he never used charms to me. I also want him to explain why he is blocking my calls after I told him about my condition.


He defiled the room where prayers are conducted because this is where he forced me to have sexual intercourse with him leaving me with more questions than answers on the reason for using that prayer room instead of other bedrooms at the house” said the victimPastor Joseph when interrogated, said the victim was his girlfriend “She is my girlfriend, I know her and she is beautiful for sure but as for not taking her calls, it was because I was busy.


At one time my handset was taken by people who are investigating a certain story concerning me that I cannot disclose to you. As for more information concerning what she is claiming, I think it is better for me to meet the elders privately for a way forward and that’s what I can say for now,”he said.One of the church elders identified as Chepa say investigations is ongoing to find other ladies he might have abused in the church.


“The woman (victim) approached me with such allegations and I could not believe that our pastor was defiling the place of worship by conducting such evil acts and our concern is to find the number of ladies he abused,” Elder Chepa said

Photos: Meet the HIV positive Malawian man who is paid $4 to $7 to have unprotected s*x with underaged girls

Eric Avina pictured above is a middle aged HIV positive Malawian man whose responsibility it is to conduct "s*xual cleansing" for underaged and also matured women in Nsanje district in southern Malawi. Avina in his community is referred to as Hyena, a traditional title given to a man hired by communities in several remote parts of southern Malawi to provide what's called sexual "cleansing". If a man dies, for example, his wife is required by tradition to sleep with Avina before she can bury him. If a woman has an abortion, she is expected to sleep with Avina to undergo cleansing. Also teenage girls, after their first menstruation, are made to have s*x over a three-day period with Avina to mark their passage from childhood to womanhood. If the girls refuse, it's believed, disease or some fatal misfortune could befall their families or the village as a whole. He says he's one of 10 hyenas in their community, and that every village in Nsanje district has them. They are paid from $4 to $7 (£3 to £5) each time.


"Most of those I have slept with are girls, school-going girls. Some girls are just 12 or 13 years old, but I prefer them older. All these girls find pleasure in having me as their hyena. They actually are proud and tell other people that this man is a real man, he knows how to please a woman." he told BBC Avina when asked said he is aware that he is HIV positive but he doesn't tell the women he sleeps with.


Although he has lost count of the women he has slept with, he puts the figure at about 104. He is married to two women who know about his job and approve.
