This is more than evil against Family values and humanity. I do not sanely think there could be any Justification for this act.

I have never subscribed to abortion but in this case,  I don't just know the best ethical perspective to handle this. This baby can't come forth to ve his Sister as his mother and his Mothers Father as his own #Father.  Good God.

Well I hope the elders take the necessary measures to cleanse the land of this desecration and not sweep this under the carpet.

I equally submit more stringent laws should be promulgated to ensure the safety of the Girlchild

South Korean military fires warning shot at a Russian military aircraft that entered South Korean airspace on Tuesday

Russian military aircraft violated South Korean airspace on tuesday, a ministry official said according to a report by Reuters.

The warplane was one of three Russian aircraft to enter the Korea Air Defense Identification Zone (KADIZ) early on Tuesday. Two Chinese military aircraft also entered the KADIZ, the defense ministry said in a statement.

There was no immediate public comment from Russian or Chinese officials.


The South Korean government would lodge official complaints about the violations with China and Russia, the defense ministry in Seoul said.

According to the South Korean military, the Russian aircraft then violated South Korean airspace over Dokdo – an island that is occupied by South Korea and also claimed by Japan, which calls it Takeshima – just after 9 a.m. (midnight GMT Monday).

“The South Korean military took tactical action including dropping flares and firing a warning shot,” the defense ministry statement said.

The Russian aircraft left South Korean airspace but then entered it again about 20 minutes later, prompting the South Koreans to fire another warning shot.

The ministry said South Korean warplanes “conducted a normal response” to the incursion, without giving further details.

I also wanted to focus on a project that I’m working on, and also get acquainted with my new job with minimal distractions. Thus, I decided to take a break off posting on social media for a few weeks…. as I thought maybe that would help.

Lanre Gentry claims he has settled with Mercy Aigbe and she is back to his house.. she denies it

Nollywood Actress Mercy Aigbe’s estranged husband. Lanre Gentry in an interview with Sunday Scoops said he and Mercy Aigbe are settling out of court and have made up. He also said the actress is back to his house. He disclosed this to Sunday Scoops saying;

“We are not in court and we don’t have any issues (again). She is my wife and the court case is over. She is back to my house.”

However, a close associate of the Actress laughed off Gentry’s claims, saying he was just seeking attention. According to their source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, when she passed Sunday Scoop’s enquiries to Mercy to find out if she had indeed returned to her estranged husband’s house, the actress said,  ‘What is wrong with Baba Juwon? And why are people still calling him to ask unnecessary questions? He just wants publicity. I stay in my own house.”

The source continued, “Mercy is not in the country at the moment; she travelled out to get goods for her stores. He (Gentry) knows that the media is not talking about him again, so he just wants to ‘trend’. Meanwhile, Mercy has moved on; he is the one that is stagnant. I think he is suffering from inferiority complex. At times, when he goes out, he introduces himself as Mercy Aigbe’s husband.”

“I have never in my life gone to her house…you can ask her, I don’t even know her house. And she is this kind of person that she does not like to disturb people.

“I can be in Abuja and she will know I am in Abuja and she will not call me. Maybe if there is work that she needs to do, she will do it and then she goes.

“We need to correct this perception that if you are working with a girl, that means you are doing something with the girl,” he said.

When he was asked about Tboss’ pregnancy, he replied: “No, it’s not me na”.

Cows To Recieve Birth Certificate In Uganda

The Ugandan Government has made it mandatory for farmers in the country, to get birth certificates for their cows.Vincent Ssempijja, the country’s Minister for Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries, announced this on Wednesday. The registration is part of requirements for food exportation to European countries.


“They want to know where the meat and crop products are coming from. They have been impounding and banning all consignments from Uganda if they find one box with issues.


“Farmers will be registered and their products, given barcodes so that if they find a problem with one box, they look for the source and sort out the problem. We cannot enter lucrative markets unless farmers register.


“For cattle farmers, it is going to be worse. You will be registered as a farmer, the cow will be registered, numbered and will have a birth certificate because the importers of our products demand meat for cows aged between 15 to 24 months. So we are going to sell the meat depending on their age,” Ssempijja said at the official opening of the National Agricultural Show in Jinja, Southern Uganda.

Drake 'paid' $350,000 to IG model to settle rape claim

Canadian rapper, Drake allegedly paid out $350,000 to a woman who accused him of sexual assault in 2017.


TheBlast.com reported on Wednesday that the amount plus lurid details of the alleged incident have been made public in a complaint filed by Laquana Morris against her New York attorney.


According to the publication, the settlement was made by the rapper even though no charges were brought against him following an investigation by police in Manchester, England.

In her complaint, filed with the New York Attorney Grievance Committee against Alexander Cabereiras, Morris describes what allegedly happened after she and Drake went back to his hotel room following the Manchester concert of his Boy Meets World tour in February 2017.

The former stripper and Instagram model wrote: 'Drake forced me to perform oral on him. It wasn't your ordinary oral it was more so a fetish.'

She then describes how he told her to spit into a cup 'until he had measured it.'


Recall back in June 2017, Morris filed a police report in the UK and hired her attorney in January 2018. But the British refused to pursue a prosecution against Drake citing a lack of evidence, according to documents submitted in her filing.


In September 2018, Drake filed a lawsuit against Morris claiming she had tried to extort him with phony pregnancy and rape claims.


The two parties reached a settlement in November 2018.


According to TheBlast, Morris is aggrieved that the settlement with Drake included a statement, which, she now says, portrayed the Canadian hitmaker as the victim in the situation.

• 
  

She's also claiming that her attorney worked with Drake's attorney against her best interests.


In response, sources close to the God's Plan rapper told The Blast that by revealing the details of the settlement, which also included a requirement she does not repeat her allegations of sexual assault, Morris is now in breach of said agreement.


Sources suggested that she will have to return the initial payment of $125,000 that was made as well as face possible claims for significant damages from the rapper.

Man confesses He made 200 million in 6 months from kidnapping

A suspected kidnapper, Abubakar Umar, who was arrested by the police and paraded at the Force headquarters in Abuja yesterday June 19th, has recounted how himself and his team made N200 million in six months from ransom collected from their victims.



Speaking to newsmen, Umar said himself and his gang members preferred abducting expatriates who pay heavily in ransom. He told the police he once collected N100 million as ransom from one of the victims of their many operations.



“My job is kidnapping and I operate mainly in Niger and Kebbi states. I operated  with my masters who operate in Sokoto. During one of the operations, we collected N100m  in ransom. We did another operation in Oyo and we realised N50m. For the one in Niger, I kidnapped and collected N4m. After that, I was contacted by an informant who gave me another job and I realised N4m. I got another job in Kebbi where we collected N1m. Another victim we kidnapped didn’t have much money but he was able to pay N500,000 before he was released.” Umar said
