Man bags 51 months imprisonment in the U.K. for removing his c%ndom without lady’s consent

A 39-year-old man, who removed his c%ndom without the consent of the lady he was having s+x with, has been sentenced to 51 months in prison by a U.K. court.

Guy Mukendi from Brixton, south London, was on Thursday, June 13, sentenced at Inner London Crown Court for the r@p£ of a woman last year. The woman had consented to s+x with Mukendi on the condition a c%ndom was used, but he removed it without her consent.

She reported the a$$ault on May 9, 2023 and Mukendi was found guilty by a jury in a rare conviction on April 2, this year.

The Metropolitan Police said the victim was supported during the “extremely difficult time” as soon as she first reported the incident.

Police worked with the victim to obtain screenshots of messages Mukendi sent where he apologised for taking the c%ndom off, and where he sought to explain his actions by saying he had not had s+x in a long time.

He then deleted the messages but the screenshots contributed to securing his conviction.

“I didn’t leave my husband because I stopped loving him. I left because I was starting to forget how to love myself.

People assume divôrce means failure. No! sometimes, it’s survival.

For years, I kept quiet, smiling for the camera, wearing my ring like everything was okay. But behind the scenes, I was disappearing, emotionally, mentally.

I gave the best of me to a man who eventually stopped seeing me. Conversations turned to silence. Respect turned to tension. And the home I tried so hard to build started to feel like a place I didn’t belong.

Walking away wasn’t easy. It wasn’t dramatic. It was silent, deliberate. I didn’t need to announce it, I just started choosing myself again.

I stopped posting “Chioma Akpotha” and went back to being “Chioma Chukwuka” not because I hate my past, but because I’m reclaiming my name, my peace, and my power.

I didn’t lose a marriage. I found myself.

NNPC Ltd Donates 35 CNG Buses to Presidential Initiative on CNG
...Restates Commitment to Cleaner, Sustainable Fuel Alternative

The NNPC Ltd. has handed over thirty-five (35) hybrid Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered buses to the Presidential Initiative on Compressed Natural Gas (Pi-CNG).

During a brief ceremony held at the NNPC Towers on Monday, the Group CEO, NNPC Ltd., Engr. Bashir Bayo Ojulari reiterated the Company’s commitment to support the Federal Government’s gas aspirations.

The GCEO, who stated that the move was in line with NNPC Ltd.’s efforts to drive the adoption of CNG as a cleaner, cheaper and sustainable fuel alternative, added that the Company has recorded significant progress on gas supply, infrastructure, distribution and retail outlets.

“I am proud that NNPC Ltd is playing a pivotal role in driving the Federal Government’s gas agenda towards energy transition,” the GCEO stated.

Earlier in his address, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), Rt. Hon. Ekperikpe Ekpo said the CNG buses represent not just vehicles but serve as instruments of economic relief, social equity, and environmental responsibility.

“They signal a future where the ordinary Nigerian can commute safely, affordably, and efficiently,” he added.

The Minister described the initiative as a direct reflection of President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, a bold step to reduce the cost of transportation, lessen dependence on petrol, and ensure the utilisation of the Nation’s abundant natural gas resources for the benefit of the people.

Earlier in his remarks, the Executive Vice President, Downstream, NNPC Ltd., Mr. Mumuni Dagazau said the adoption of CNG as a fuel alternative has significant economic benefits for the Nation by reducing reliance on PMS and AGO as automotive fuels which also leads to substantial cost savings and supports the growth of local gas industry.

Also in his remarks, the Executive Vice President, Gas, Power & New Energy, Mr. Olalekan Ogunleye, said that as the CNG commercialisation drive continues to gather momentum, NNPC Ltd. will be there to lead the way.

In her remarks, the Managing Director of NNPC Foundation, Mrs. Emmanuella Arukwe, said through the initiative, NNPC Ltd. was advancing and shaping a new energy future that will purposefully serve people, communities, and the planet.

You lied about your past, your father disowned you – APC chieftain Eze blasts Wike

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has responded to some of the claims made by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike during a recent interview.

Wike recently appeared on Channels Television’s Politics Today where he, among other things, claimed that he came from rich background and attended school driving in his own car. He said this insisting he did not come from the same background as his former boss, Chibuike Amaechi.

Wike also claimed that Dame Judith, the wife of Rotimi Amaechi, was collecting the sum of N4 million monthly to train Rivers women. Wike vowed to resign if the report of forensic audit on the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, does not indict Amaechi’s wife.

Reacting to Wike’s claims, Eze, an ally of Amaechi, who often stand for the former Minister of Transportation, said Wike only presented falsehood about his past exposure to the public thereby ridiculing himself.

According to him, Wike, who was an errand boy to Amaechi, has of today denied everyone who made one contribution or another to lift him from abject poverty which reigned supreme in his family.

Eze wondered whether it was Wike that made himself a Local Government Chairman, Chief of Staff to Amaechi and later nominated himself as a Minister during the Jonathan regime.

“Trying to claim how rich his father was when poverty that radiated his family was as strong as the direct ray of sun, is denying his background,” Eze said in a statement he signed and made available to reporters at the weekend.

“His father, if alive, would be disappointed in his act of self-denial to justify his lavish living with public funds. Not minding that his father disowned him because of his character and if not for his friend’s father who assisted him by paying his school fees, Nigerians would have been spared of having such a charlatan in public service

“In his futile attempt to castigate Amaechi’s wife who had genuine dealings with the NDDC, one is forced to ask whether Wike’s wife is fit for the exalted position of a Judge which she holds given that sleeping daily in the same room and on the same bed with a character like Wike will definitely affect her sense of judgement in the delivery of justice. The business of Court is a noble one and the background of a Judge shapes his/her sense of judgement.”

Eze blamed Amaechi said the former Rivers Governor made the greatest error in his political journey by encountering Wike and assisting him to be a Local Government Chairman; appointing him as his Chief of Staff and recommending him for Ministerial appointment.

“As Governor, Wike’s biggest legacy is the destruction of all major policies and projects set up by the Amaechi’s government for the betterment of Rivers State and her people. The Agricultural set up that would have taken care of the food challenge currently facing Nigerians was destroyed, the educational sector and scholarship set up by Amaechi to make Rivers State a hub for human development was destroyed by Wike.”

*TOPIC: BELIEVING GOD FOR THE MIRACULOUS.*(Series 14)

*Scripture Reading:* Luke 18:9-10

*”He also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves and were confident that they were righteous [posing outwardly as upright and in right standing with God], and who viewed others with contempt: “Two men went up into the temple [enclosure] to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.”*(AMP)

Continuation from where we stopped yesterday. But our prayers will be powerless if they uttered for less than righteous motives. Although there are a number of things that can render our prayers powerless, we will be looking at three that clearly stand out;

1.Selfish prayers: *A selfless prayer is one that matches the will of God. That means a selfish prayer is one that exalt personal desire against the will of God.* When you pray selfishly, you want to fit God into the box of your need. You want Him to answer you in certain way, so that you can be happy.

In a move to promote safe and sustainable water practices, the Federal Ministry of Water Resources and Sanitation (FMWRS) has announced a collaborative partnership with Nestlé Nigeria to drive nationwide Water Quality Management Campaigns.

HOW TO DECOLONIZE AN AFRICAN CHILD FOR PROGRESS AND PROSPERITY

Decolonizing an African child's upbringing involves nurturing a sense of identity, empowerment, and critical thinking that transcends colonial legacies. Here’s a detailed approach to decolonize an African child:

1. {Cultural Education}
{Teach African History} Incorporate pre-colonial and post-colonial history into the child’s education. Highlight the achievements and contributions of African civilizations.
{Language Preservation} Encourage learning and speaking indigenous languages. This fosters a sense of belonging and cultural pride.
{Traditional Practices} Engage the child in traditional customs, rituals, and storytelling to instill a connection with their heritage.

BRIEF BIOGRAPHY OF PEOPLE WHO IMPACTED OUR SOCIETY POSITIVELY OR NEGATIVELY ON THEIR FIELD OF WORKS
EPISODE (54) BLACK FACE NAIJA (NIGERIA)

Ahmedu Augustine Obiabo (born in Ogwule, Agatu, Benue State, Nigeria .His known by his stage name Blackface Naija or just Blackface, is a Nigerian dancehall, ragga, reggae singer, and songwriter. He is best known as co-writer of "African Queen" with 2Baba, a song made famous by the latter after it appeared on his debut solo album Face 2 Face in 2004 to become an international hit.

Personal career of Blackface

After the Plantashun Boiz split up in 2004, Blackface led a solo musical career. He released the hip hop album Ghetto Child in May 2004 collaborating with several artists. The album contains "Hard Life" featuring Alabai as the first single. He also recorded a full album for his crew D Tribunal called What We Are.
After Ghetto Child, he released Evergreen, Jungle Fever, Me, Musiq and I, Dancehall Business, and the prospective Defender

Personal life of blackface

Blackface was married to Dayo for eight years and has two children, Caroline and Alex.The couple agreed to separate, pending divorce procedures.

Blackface and two-face controversy

-Innocent 2Baba Idibia

"Over the years, I have been tagged the villain of the Plantashun history, some say I followed money and betrayed my brothers in the hustle.

Others say I stole a song and made it my hit.

I have ignored it all because I am an enigma and my life revolves around peace, I try not to chase the problematic side of life, my loving wife Ani would always urge me to say something and clear my name but I gave it time.

I gave it time because time reveals all things.

We are growing grey now, our kids shouldn't see themselves and say "Hey your daddy stole my daddy's song and made fame from it". That would drop the pride in my kids so I have to clear the air.

What a lot of people do not know is that; I took permission from its writer as a professional would do.

The writer told me "haba bro, we are brothers from Idoma, I am creative with writing, I can write another. This one Na the least track wey I get self wey go blow"

He underestimated the African Queen, I went ahead to record it, energized and gave it a vibe with my voice and it went beyond Africa to the world.

It became a global hit that pulled platinum sales for my former record label Kennis Music. African Queen became a movement that reawakened the awareness in the beauty of an African woman, it became a sound of the Pan-African spirit and it brought home an Award from MTv.

As a peaceful man, I still contacted the writer to show him love from my own earnings, because as at that time, my whole doings were sponsored by Kennis so they controlled my funds.

I offered the writer ₦2 million naira and a plot land in Otukpo Benue State but he told me he deserved more than that.

I tried to make the writer understand this thing I am offering is coming from my small savings and will do more in future as I grow bigger. The writer needed more because he felt I was global and worth more with no consideration of me under a label.

I even brought it to the attention of my King but the writer still stood his ground.

At that point, I decided to move on and let destiny play its role because it was becoming a distraction in my career.

The record label is operated like a football business, they do not just sign you to come and warm the bench but to bring home the accolades.

Develop Robust Training In Your MDAS, Governor Otti Charges Appointees, Directs Training Of Youths

Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti has mandated his appointees and heads of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) of the State Government to develop robust training and capacity building programmes for their establishments.

Governor Otti also mandated the Chief Strategy Officer and the Chairman of the Civil Service Commission to work out a template for the training of 1,000 young people between the ages of 16 to 20 on leadership capacity development, character building and self-discovery outside the academic environment.

The Governor handed down the directives at the International Conference Centre (ICC), Umuahia, during the closing ceremony of the 2025 Abia State Quarter 2 Executive Council Strategy Retreat.

According to Governor Otti, one central takeaway from the retreat is the importance of training and mentorship which supports individuals to become better versions of themselves, so as to become better employees and subordinates.

"To that effect, all Commissioners and heads of MDAs are directed to develop robust training and capacity building programmes for their establishments.

"Critical learning areas such as ICT, communication, stakeholder management and value creation in line with the peculiar mandates of the individuals and MDAs should be incorporated.

“Nobody should be left behind and any staff who fails to participate should be reprimanded.

"Clear metrics of assessment are to be developed and outcomes used as part of the relevant criteria for assigning official responsibilities. I expect to get periodic reports on this from various MDAs,” the Governor instructed.

"The Chief Strategy Officer and the Chairman of the Civil Service Commission are hereby mandated to work out a suitable template for the training of 1,000 young people between the ages of 16 to 20 on leadership capacity development, character building and self-discovery, outside the academic environment.

"Training and mentorship programmes will also be extended to young graduates from senior secondary schools and institutions of higher learning," Gov. Otti stated.

Governor Otti announced that the State Government would establish an academy to facilitate scheduled training for government employees and announced plans to extend mentorship and capacity - building initiatives to young people in Secondary Schools and Tertiary Institutions across the State.

"The young people's training should be made to happen between the first week of August and the second week of September. And this is when the students are expected to be on vacation.

"They should also be institutionalised, conducted periodically, and properly certificated.

"The programme should be structured to transform the minds of the young leaders, expose them to new thinking, and prepare them for the tasks of leadership and service in communities in due course," Gov. Otti stated.

The State Chief Executive, who appreciated the consultants and resource persons who anchored the various sessions of the retreat, particularly, the leadership and members of the Abia Global Economic Advisory Council, also thanked the organisers of the retreat.

He stressed the need for the participants to apply the knowledge gained from the retreat to improve on their performances and said that, knowledge is nothing until it is applied to achieve superior outcomes.

The curtains of the Abia State Government 2025 Quarter 2 Executive Council Strategy Retreat was drawn to a close as participants expressed satisfaction with the quality of the training and the windows it offered to interact with members of the Abia Global Economic Advisory Council.
