Over the years, he molested five of his seven daughters and fathered six children, the family and their attorney said.By about 2001, the family had mostly split up, Ayinde “bouncing around,” but still in reach of his family, the daughter said. In 2003, he tried to rape her for the last time.“That was it. … I just felt stronger,” she said.Yet, it wasn’t until she and her sisters learned that Ayinde had fathered more children with other women that they decided to go to the authorities in 2006.“We found out we had other siblings, young siblings, and we had to put him to a stop,” the daughter said after the sentencing hearing.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The section which the lawmakers had in the report recommended for deletion, deals with the denunciation of citizenship upon the attainment of 18 years of age.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">During the clause by clause consideration of the report, the lawmakers at first okayed the deletion with 85 votes with 7 abstaining out of the 101 senators in attendance.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
</span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font: inherit; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But when the issue was revisited following a point of order raised by Senator Ahmed Yerima, the votes dropped to about 60, a number that was 13 short of the expected two-third the proposal should enjoy before sailing through.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But overwhelmed by the reactions that greeted the decision, Senate President David Mark yesterday assured Nigerians that the issue will be revisited by the upper chamber.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
</span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He gave the assurance while receiving in audience Gender Constitution and Reform Network(GENCRN), a coalition of women and civil society groups led by the Minister of Women Affairs, Hajiya Zainab Maina at the National Assembly in Abuja.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Concurring with the group’s demand for a deletion of the clause, Mark said: “I agree with all you have said here., so do all senators here today. Why we voted publicly is for everybody to know the position of every senator. But besides, the whole thing is been misunderstood.”</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Explaining how they got to this stage, the lawmaker recalled that at first voting it was 85 which favoured deletion, adding that when some religious dimension was added to it, the earlier position was defeated , hence the clause’s retention.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font: inherit; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He said the lawmakers voted publicly so that “everybody will know the stand of every senator on every issue. He added: I think the problem is not whether we can delete this section 29(4) (b) or not. That is not the issue; it is whether we can get the number to be able to delete it.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“With all due respect, the entire Senate is being castigated because there was and there is still a complete misunderstanding of what the Senate had tried to do. We are on the side of the people, that was why we put it that we should delete it, that was what the people wanted.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">While reiterating that the aspect had nothing to do with underaged marriage, the senate president however agreed that “if we take a wrong step we can retrace it.”</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
</span>
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">At least that's what </span><strong>Dr. Conrad Murray</strong><span style="background-color: white;"> is saying to AEG and the Jackson family, claiming he's prepared to drop a nuclear bomb on the entire wrongful death lawsuit if he's forced to testify ... a bomb that neither side can begin to fathom ... and that will blow both sides out of the water.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Murray made the threat in a recent voicemail message to a friend, pleading with AEG and the Jacksons for one last time to leave him in peace and spare him from testifying.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
He says, "Please stop. If you don’t, let this serve as my final warning to both sides. Don’t incite me to testify. Consider this as an imminent nuclear warning. Enough is enough." He then hints at the nature of his "nuclear" secret.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Murray was subpoenaed to testify in Katherine's $40 billion lawsuit against AEG -- but he pled the 5th because he doesn't want to incriminate himself in any upcoming legal proceedings ... after he appealed to overturn his manslaughter conviction.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
And it sounds like he has other reasons for not wanting to testify as well.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">George Zimmerman, Trayvon Martin’s killer saved a family from an overturned car sometime this week. While press and police urged them to talk about the incident, and how Zimmerman had saved them, the family declined.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Zimmerman’s attorney Mark O’Mara confirmed that the family canceled a planned news conference on Tuesday saying “They don’t want to be associated with George.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 25px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Mark and Dana Michelle Gerstle told friends and neighbors that though they’re thankful Mr. Zimmerman helped them, they do not want to talk publicly about him for fear they will be accused of portraying him as a hero,” reads a Tuesday report in The Daily Mail.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 25px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“They are very grateful to Zimmerman for what he did, but they do not want to get involved,” an anonymous friend of that family told the Mail. “There is so much hatred directed towards him they have got to think about their own family. There are a lot of crazies out there. If they say anything in support of him it could backfire.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 25px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On Wednesday, WESH-TV Florida reporter Bob Kealing confirmed that the family will not appear in public to discuss the event, in spite of police and press requests that the family explain what happened when Zimmerman allegedly saved them from a car wreck.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
There was anxiety in Port Harcourt on Monday as news of the death of
Mrs. Iwari-Oba, the mother of the wife of President Goodluck Jonathan,
Patience, spread in the Rivers State capital.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The mother of Mrs. Jonathan was said to have been involved in a ghastly motor accident along Elele Road in Rivers State.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was gathered that the woman, who is from Okrika Local Government
Area, was on her way to Bayelsa State when the accident happened.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unconfirmed report indicated that her corpse was taken to Kpaiyama
Mortuary by a team of policemen and a member representing Ogu Bolo State
Constituency, Mr. Evans Bipi, who is a relative to the deceased.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Though, the police and the Federal Road Safety Commission in the
state could not confirm the incident, an aide to Bipi said the First
Lady’s mother died in a road accident, which occurred at about 4pm.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bipi’s aide, Mr. Fred Itobo, told The PUNCH that the President’s
wife’s mother was involved in the accident while she was on her way to
Bayelsa State.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Yes! She was involved in an accident and she died. Her body has been
taken to a mortuary. Bipi was among those who took her body to the
mortuary,” Itobo said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When contacted, the State Director of FRSC, Dr. Kayode Olagunju,
declined comment on the matter, saying, “I cannot say anything on this
matter now until I get full details.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Though effort to get reactions from the State Police Public Relations
Officer, Mrs. Angela Agabe, proved futile, she had already told a
journalist on the telephone that she had not been briefed on such crash.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Oprah's former co-star in the 1985 movie "Colour Purple" Rae Dawn Chong, has taken a foul-mouthed racial dig at the business mogul. Rae whose mother is Afro-Canadian and featured alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in the hit movie "Commando" <span style="background-color: white;">claims Oprah is a self-centered fat "b***h" who would have been a "house n**ger" back in the slave days.</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She went further and<span style="background-color: white;"> says Oprah was "lovely" to her back on the set of Purple in 1985 ... but when she moved on to her next movie, "Commando," that's when she says Oprah became "a total biotch."</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /><span style="background-color: white;">"I starred in Commando. And she just wasn’t having me. She’s competitive. She didn’t like me. She just wasn’t having me."</span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;">It's clear, Rae doesn't like Oprah either -- 'cause for the next several minutes of the interview, she ranted on and on about how much she hates Winfrey -- and stooped so low, she even took shots at her appearance and invoked slave imagery. </span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">"If you look at the way [Oprah] looks, she looks like 60 years ago she would have been a house keeper luckily. She would have not been a house n**ger she would have been a field n**ger."</span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;">RDC continued the attack for several minutes. Among the lowlights: </span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;">-- "Shes so enormously insecure. If you wanna distill Oprah Winfrey down to like her most basic components. She wants to be beautiful."</span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;">-- "Imagine being [Oprah]. She has all of the world. All the power in the world ... and she only wants something that is only chemical, purely impossible."</span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;">-- "The thing that’s really great about Oprah that you cant take away from her is that she's a great brown-noser."</span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Rae concluded the interview with a compliment wrapped in yet another pitiful attack -- "No matter how vile she is, you kinda gotta go, 'hello hats off' like, you’ve done an amazing thing you have actually shifted the DNA of the universe."</span><br /><br />TMZ.COM</span>Hardiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14998902004124303422noreply@blogger.com0
