African China says he has 168 children

It’s either the PM New reporter that did the interview didn’t hear right, or African China was just messing with him. Below is what PM News is reporting…
This may sound incredible but popular music artiste, Chinagorom Onuoha, better known as African China, insists he had 168 kids from different women before he got married.
Speaking with P.M.News Sunday in Festac Town, Lagos, Onuoha disclosed that he is not a sex-freak but he was unable to turn down sexual advances from his teeming female fans.
Onuoha, who sometime ago was involved in a sex scandal in the UK, said he decided to accept the pregnancies because he did not want the ladies to abort the pregnancies.
“It is not that I enjoy running after the opposite sex, but as a star, I always find them around me and there’s no way I can just chase them away. As a matter of fact, I had an option of telling the ladies to abort the pregnancies but I know the Bible is against such.”

Nigeria’s problems are caused by fake pastors – Akpabio

Governor Godswill Akpabio of Akwa-Ibom State, on Friday, blamed the many problems in the country on false prophecies by some preachers.

Violent Crucifixion Exorcism: Woman, 19, Tortured By Her Boyfriend, His Mother, Two Others

A young woman was subjected to a violent crucifixion-style exorcism by four religious extremists, a court in France heard on Monday, October 7, 2013.
Three men and a woman belonging to the Seventh Day Adventist Church are accused of kidnapping, and acts of torture and barbarism against the 19-year-old, identified only as Antoinette.
The young woman was barely alive when police found her in a flat in a housing estate in the Paris suburb of Grigny.
Her tormentors are accused of tying her up like Jesus on the cross, and keeping Antoinette in the same position for seven days during 2011. They believed that this would exorcise her from her sins, and get rid of the devil inside her. Antoinette was regularly beaten, and only allowed small amounts of cooking oil and water so as to stay alive.

The 22-year-old has enjoyed a stunning start to the season and has been named in Roy Hodgson’s England squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Montenegro and Poland.

UK court to restart $145m Ibori asset-confiscation case

Hearing in the case of confiscation of 90 million pounds (about 145 million dollars) worth of assets belonging to ex-gov. James Ibori ended inconclusively on Monday in a British court.
The case will now start afresh next year.
James Ibori, governor of the oil-producing state of Delta in southern Nigeria from 1999 to 2007, is serving a 13-year jail sentence in a British jail.
This was after he pleaded guilty in February 2012 to 10 counts of fraud and money-laundering.
Once an influential power-broker at the heart of Nigeria’s ruling PDP, he is by far the most senior politician to be held accountable for the corruption.
The confiscation proceedings against him will determine whether he emerges from jail impoverished or still in possession of a large enough fortune to regain a position of influence in Nigeria.
Ibori will become eligible for early release in March 2016.
In a hearing which began at London’s Southwark Crown Court on Sept. 16, prosecutors were seeking a court order to confiscate a long list of assets.
They were relying on Ibori’s guilty pleas as proof that his assets worth close to 90 million pounds were the proceeds of corruption during his time in office.
The defence argued that the guilty pleas did not prove that the assets were benefits of Ibori’s crimes.

After three weeks in court, Judge Anthony Pitts said in order to make an informed ruling he needed a better grip on the evidence underlying the case.
