After reports emerged last week that a Nigerian woman had filed for divorce one week after marriage because she couldn’t handle the size of his partner’s
manhood, Jessica Opare Saforo, a co-host of celebrity and lifestyle show in Ghana, Celebrity Fanzone, disclosed that her pastor supports the idea of manhσσd viewing for couples before marriage.
Jessica, last Saturday, said that her pastor once insisted that women should demand to see the size of the manhσσd of their potential partners before marriage; sparking an intense debate on social media.
“I remember being in church one day, when my pastor was preaching about things like this… What the pastor did say though is, “women should ask to see the manhood. They have to look at it to be sure because you can look at the size to be sure is if it’s something you can live with.”
She was fully in support of her pastor’s position but couldn’t indicate how the same principle could be applied to women.
“I agree if you are not even going to go the whole nine yards [pre-marital sєx] but you should see [manhσσd].” Asked by co-host, Akosua Hanson how the same principle could be applied to women, Jessica simply brushed it aside.
Singer Fresh Prince, who was on the show with the other members of 4×4 music group, however maintained that he believed the Nigerian woman in question should have been intimate (sєxually) with her partner before the marriage.
“I think she should have ‘tasted’ that thing before marriage. I don’t believe when women say I don’t want to have sєx before marriage.”
A Nigerian lady who goes by the name of Honey Phoenix Evarist has taken to her social media page to narrate her experience in the hands of her pastor. The tale of sexual abuse goes thus:
In 2013 my mum told me i needed deliverance because i refused to act like a “christian” she took me to a pastor of Omega Fire Ministries (OFM) he said i will do a retreat with him for one month so i went back home to pack my stuff.
This man would always enter my room without knocking. His hands would linger around my breasts when he hugs me…i was uncomfortable but i tried to bring my “mind out of the gutter”.
We used to have night prayers and he would prolong the prayers till his heavily pregnant wife got tired and he’l encourage her to go to bed and rest…once she leaves he starts to tell me how much he loves me and how i dont need deliverance because there is nothing wrong with me,and how i am a nice girl who her parents misunderstood.
I was not all that suprised and i tried to take advantage of the situation. I would miss prayers or evening service because i knew he wont do anything about it.
But then his wife started to notice that i had too much freedom.and what suprised me was that he did not seem to care…he would try to kiss me when his wife was just one room away…he would wink at me when her back was turned…he would hold my hand at the back seat of the car when we are returning from night vigil. He was like a love struck teenager.
I began to avoid him and it made him more desperate…one time he asked if i was avoiding him and I made him know i did not like what he was doing and he told me if i want his P.A could arrange for us to have a quiet time somewhere…
I had to tell the Assistant pastor all that was going on. I still recall the tears and the look of unbelief on his face that night.
The assistant did nothing about it…but adviced me to pack my stuff and leave before things get out of hand. But i couldnt leave because the “retreat” was not over.
One night at the night vigil at OFM headquaters in Auchi i went to confide in a friend…and my father’s driver overhead everything and he told my dad once we returned to Abuja.
The sad part about it all was that my parents called the pastor and his wife to ask them…instead of me. And they heaped it all on me. They said i have been misbehaving because i am tired of the “retreat” and i sleep during prayers,i dont go to the evening services and i have come up with accusations because i want to go.
The good thing was that i moved back home.
Till today i wonder what sort of brains the pastor’s wife had in her head
The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi, has warned President Muhammadu Buhari to avoid repeating the mistakes made by former President Goodluck Jonathan so his administration does not end up in infamy like that of his predecessor.
The former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria also warned the government against continuing to blame previous administrations for the nation’s woes, saying what was important was for the administration to concentrate on putting the nation back on the path of progress.
The emir gave the warning on Wednesday while delivering a paper entitled, “Nigeria In Search Of New Growth model” at the 15th meeting of the Joint Planning Board and National Council on Development Planning.
Mr. Buhari succeeded Mr. Jonathan on May 29, 2015.
“If this government continues to behave the way the last government behaved, we will end up where Jonathan ended,” the former CBN governor said. “You may not like it but that is the truth. You have to listen.
“You don’t have to be an economist to know that any system that allows you to sit in your garden, and with a telephone call, make one billion naira without investing a kobo, that system is wrong. It is unsustainable.
“And just so we are not always blaming the previous administration. We have also made mistakes in this administration. We have started retracing our steps or we have to retrace those steps.
“And if we fall into the same holes that we fell into the last time where the government is always right… If a policy is wrong, it is wrong. Nothing will make it right and it has to be changed.”
Mr. Sanusi said there were many voodoo economists parading around the administration and advising the government.
“And many of them are not economists,” the Emir said. “They are demagogues.”
“Look, I’m not going to change. I am never going to be political. I will never tell people what they like to hear. There is nothing we are facing today that we did not know will happen. That is the truth. We made mistakes, many of them deliberate. We ignored every single warning.
“If you take a brand new car, and give a driver who doesn’t have a license to drive it and you have an accident, you really can’t say you are surprised unless you are some kind of idiot.”
The Emir said he would like to know those advising the present government so he could talk to the advisers themselves.
Mr. Sanusi blamed past federal administrations for failing to diversify the nation’s economy during the oil boom, saying Mr. Buhari should not make the same mistakes.
He specifically accused Mr. Jonathan of refusing advice given to him on how to turn the economy around.
Warnings of impending economic doom were also ignored by the former president, Mr. Sanusi said.
The traditional ruler expressed concern that the Buhari administration was toeing the same path like the Jonathan government.
“In a situation where we cannot process tomato. Tomato paste is being imported from China. It is sad,” he said.
He said there was urgent need for the country to return to the drawing board on the deepening and expansion of the economy.
“If we do not expand the economy through wise investment, we can end up in classical Malthusian situation,” he said.
Mr. Sanusi restated his support for the removal of subsidy on petroleum products, saying only a few people were reaping from the system to achieve their selfish ends.
Even after a renowned man of God said you should seek for a wife who can pray for hours, this man is not proud of his own whose prayers can even bring a building down, according to him.
Sharing his uncomfortable ordeal with break or make up, he nagged that his spouse prays too loud at night and disrupts his sleep.
He also says he goes to work early and returns late, yet his wife’s prayers will keep him from sleeping on time because they are too long and loud, as if she is ‘fighting with God‘.

Zimbabwean President, Robert Mugabe has instructed the Commissioner General of Zimbabwe Police Republic, Augustine Chihuri to arrest and detain the whole Zimbabwean Olympic Team members immediately the arrive at the Harare International Airport on Tuesday, August 23.
Zimbabwe which is one of the countries in the Olympics without a medal presented a team of 31 athletes. The closest any of the athletes came to win a contest was at the 8th position.
Mr. Mugabe who is incensed with the team’s performance told the Police Chief to arrest all the team members and detain them.
“We have wasted the country’s money on these rats we call athletes. If you are not ready to sacrifice and win even copper or brass medals (referring the 4th and 5th positions) as our neighbors Botswana did, then why do you go to waste our money” he said.
If we needed people to just go to Brazil to sing our national anthem and hoist our flag, we would have sent some of the beautiful girls and handsome guys from University of Zimbabwe to represent us.
He added that, the money invested in the team to represent the country could have been used to provide amenities and build schools.
“This situation is like an impotent man who is married to 5 women, what is the essence? I will make sure we share the cost across board for all of them to pay back to government chest even if it take 10 years recoup, now it turns out to be a soft loan we have given them to go and visit Brazil as tourist, they are useless ‘he concluded.
I first heard the name Rashidi Yekini when I barely knew how to scrub myself in the bathroom.
Few years down the line, I knew him as the first Nigerian footballer to score Nigeria’s first goal at the World Cup in 1993. He went on to score 37 goals in his 24-year career as a Nigerian International.
The international star passed on in 2012, suffering from bipolar disorder, depression and some other undisclosed psychiatric condition. He left behind an aged mother who had nothing to live on despite her late son’s success.
Recently, the Senate President Nigeria extended a helping hand to the star’s mother. He rehabilitated her living conditions and almost failing petty business. Truly if each one can reach one, then each one can change one. Check out the before and after pictures:
