The Monstrous Oba!
The lady in this picture is Olori Bolanle Adesina. The person responsible for this mean treatment is her husband, the Deji of Akure, one Oluwadare Adepoju Adesina.
I was so angry when I read the news about the so called Deji of Akure, who gave one of his wives, Olori Bolanle, the battering of her life and left her in a very bad state! I was even more pissed when I read that the oba was accompanied by his newest wife! What was she thinking. In her own case, she should know that she is very likely to be treated in the same way. Yes! There is a popular proverb that “if a man keeps the cane used on the first wife, the cane would also be used on the second wife”. That proverb applies to her.
I have always maintained that ANY MAN WHO RAISES HIS HAND ON HIS WIFE IS SICK! The oba is sick and I suggest that this traditional ruler should have his BRAIN examined! This is very absurd.
It is bad enough that he battered his wife, he could not even respect the crown or his exulted position as king of the Land, and he went further to have her beaten in PUBLIC! What came over him? That oba has committed a heinous crime and he should be dealt with accordingly! I wonder, is there any Law against wife battering? Just asking.
Read more on this sacrilegious act in 234next.
If you are a man reading this, and you belong to the same school as this Deji of Akure, then you should have your head checked! Why would a man raise his finger on a woman?

Women in Politics!
The political drums have been rolled out in readiness for the forthcoming election in 2011. All the players are ensuring they are "well placed", with the "right political godfather", in the "right political party".
No sooner than Dr. Goodluck was sworn in as the President, people started telling him not to contest for Presidency because the Presidency was zoned to the North! Please let the guy settle down and serve Nigeria for the short time he has.
Politicians are swapping Parties, moving from their original Party to another. Simply put, the Politicians are making sure they are well aligned! Yet, others are doing last minute make over (as if the people are myopic or blind). Well, time will tell.
It is no longer news that Senator Gbemi Saraki wants to be the first female Governor of Kwara State. There is a website for that. However, the Supreme Council for Shariah in Kwara State recently issued a statement saying it is against Islamic Law for a female to be a leader!
Alhaji Tijani Edun, the state coordinator, said the legacy and Islamic culture will be destroyed if a female should rule the state come 2011. In an attempt to safe guard the Islamic culture, the Supreme Council for Shariah has called on all Muslims in the State to converge at the YIDI praying ground in Ilorin on the Sunday, 30 May 2010 for special prayers to ensure that a woman is not imposed as the next Governor.
As a Senator, representing a senatorial district, I believe she is a leader. As a leader, Gbemisola Saraki registered a foundation - the HAVE FOUNDATION to reach out to the poor in her constituency.
My history teacher, taught me about a Muslim female leader and warrior, known and addressed as QUEEN AMINA of Zaria. Hello! Amina of Zaria was a notable female Muslim leader!
I wonder, is the fight/prayer against Gbemi as a woman or against Gbemi as a SARAKI?

Through the foundation, she has been giving financial support to the needy. She has also purchased tractors with implements to assist rural farmers in land cultivation in her constituency. The empowerment programme has also benefited 33 people. One of them, Mallam Abdulrasaq Hossein Eja got a Mazda 626 for commercial purposes, while the remaining 32 got cash awards ranging from N450,000 to N15,000, hair dryers, grinding machines, sewing and pressing irons as well as motorcycles.If the Supreme Council for Shariah hold strongly to the Islamic beliefs, why was Gbemisola (a serving Senator) voted to the National House of Assembly in the first place?

This is ODD!
Some days ago, I read the story of a 72 years old woman who claims to be in love with her grandchild and infact, she "wants to have his baby". This is so strange (at least in my own part of the world!). What sort of affection would a GRANDMOTHER have for her GRANDSON to the point that she is willing to pay $54,000 to the surrogate mother who would give birth to her grandchild’s baby?
After reading this article, I decided to do a search on the internet, and I saw the story here.
The 72 years old GRANDMA was qouted as saying: “I am not interested in anyone else’s opinion. I am in love with Phil …. Soon I’ll be holding my son or daughter in my arms and Phil will be the proud dad.”
The Grandson, Phil Bailey says he is in love . . . with his grandmother. In his own words, “I love Pearl . . . I’ve always been attracted to older women and I think Pearl is gorgeous. Now I’m going to be a dad …..We get laughed at and bullied when we go out and kiss in public…… You can’t help who you fall for.”
Please my people, are these two for real? Are they actually in their right senses? Just asking. . .
