Bizarre!

I am baffled and I know you will be after reading this piece! Use of power of imagination advised. Location: Treasure Island, Florida. Here we go: 11-year-old girl complained of stomach pains. Mom and her boyfriend took child to the hospital believing she might be having the flu or food poisoning. Tests were run. Result? Girl was pregnant! And? Please, read on:
The mother's 42-year-old boyfriend asked for the car keys to run some errands. Yes? Patience please! We are getting there. He never returned! Yes, he absconded! Now add one and one together. But that was not all! More cascading of events followed:

After calling his girlfreind to confess and apologize, Gregory Johns, went on to rob a couple at knife-point. Left a note also apologizing to the 11-year-old girl for sexually assaulting her.
Then he broke into the home of an elderly woman, allegedly gagged and tied her up for about 12 hours. He again called his girlfriend telling her that he would rather be dead than go back to jail! Did I hear you scream what-da-why? Oh yes, I forgot to tell you: Gregory Johns has been in jail TEN TIMES on charges ranging from aggravated assault to armed robbery!

Finally, Johns was found hiding in a hotel. When he came out with a knife in hand and threatened the cops, they SHOT HIM DEAD! End of story!

Questions: Was this woman aware of this man's criminal past? If yes, what was she thinking being around such a man? And, why should she jeopardize her child's safety by staying with that man? More questions but few answers...

Angered by the Judgement: Nigerian Man Sets Court Ablaze

This is another must read story! I read it and said y'all ain't gonna miss out one bit. May not be the Roflmao type of story but yet, it is one of the ITs of this weekend. Continue reading...

Yesterday, in Funtua, Katsina State of Nigeria, Ahmed Ubale Mai-Nama was said to have set ablaze an Upper Shari'a Court! Why, you asked? He was pissed, yes, angered, cheesed off, incensed, over alleged dissolution of his marriage!

Ahmed's wife demanded for a divorce which led to a serious quarrel between the couple. Ahmed refused to grant his wife's request. Two weeks ago, he filed a case with the court seeking it to safeguard his marriage. According to one account, when he sensed he might lose the case, Ahmed asked that his wife's family return everything he spent during their wedding. The court granted him that and he was paid all the expenses he incurred. But when the judgement favored his wife and the court dissolved their marriage, Ahmed went ballistic! Early yesterday morning, he set the court on fire and watched it burn. The fire destroyed the judge's office, the chamber and the registrar's office, plus hundreds of case files. Angry man Ahmed was later arrested by the court's guards and some passers-by and is now being held at the Funtua Police Area Command.

Are you kidding me? Wonders are truly just beginning! Y'all have a happy and safe weekend!

The Story of a Kidney and an iPad 2

Nkiru Oh

Once upon a time, a 17 year-old Chinese boy wanted to buy an iPad 2 and an iPhone but had no money. Nothing unusual anyway. Then in April of 2011, a broker contacted him on the internet and offered to help him sell one of his kidneys to obtain the gadget! Becoming unsual. Come April 28, 2011, somewhere in Hunan Province China, the broker arranged and a surgeon removed the boy's right kidney...stop right here! Now getting weird! Yes, a surgeon, threw his Hippocratic Oath to the dogs, performed an illegal surgery on a child, in a hospital not qualified to perform organ transplants, to obtain the child's kidney for resell to the highest bidder! If that is not atrocious and heineous, then I do not know what is! People say that wonders shall never end. I choose to say that wonders are just beginning! So many unnatural ocurrences, many in the realms of the absurd and bizarre, that I am beginning to think that the world may actually be coming to an end! I mean, literally!

Adults are supposed to be wiser. They are supposed to protect children. Often times, education is  equated with nobility. If this is so, how does one explain the this surgeon who was one of the five miscreants in the kidney-for-iPhone/iPad case? How low can humans go? How wicked can some people be? And to think that the devil-incarnate-broker gave the boy about $3,500 out of $31,500 realized from d sale, and split the rest of the money with the surgeon and his other partners-in-crime! Oh by the way, the boy now is said to have renal problem, and his condition is deteriorating! Hope those criminals rot in prison for the rest of their wretched lives...and that is after they would have been made to donate one kidney each for a good cause! Damned souls..

Killing of Trayvon Martin: Justice Must Prevail!

Nkiru Oh


Am I missing something or what? Is this a dream...a movie? Go back to February 26, in recorded calls to police, George Zimmerman talked about following a teenager [Trayvon Martin]. The dispatcher asked him to NOT pursue the boy. Zimmerman disobeyed the dispatcher...persistently followed...shot and killed Trayvon! Now fast forward...in statements to police, Zimmerman claimed that Martin attacked him and he shot the teenager in self-defense! Self defense? Lawd Gawd Almighty!

Yes, George Zimmerman shot and killed an unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin and claimed he shot the teen in self-defense! And the Sanford Police Department said they cannot charge him because they do not have enough evidence to prove that his motive was not self-defense! Somebody please explain to me! Who is crazier: Zimmerman or the Sanford Police? Where does self-defense come in? Was it in following the boy around until he shot and killed him? Was it due to the fact that the boy was unarmed? He was said to be holding only a bag of candy and a can of iced tea! Or was it that the boy was about 100 pounds lighter than his murderer? What is the police investigating? Are they investigating Zimmerman's motive for telling lies or being hell bent on pursuing and killing an innocent child? Which other evidence are they looking for?

How can someone be the aggressor and still claim self defense? What or who was the threat: a bag of Skittles candy, a can of iced tea, or was it a boy 100 pounds less than his killer? I still do not get it! He chased, confronted, shot and killed Martin. And he wants to invoke the 2005 Stand Your Ground Law! No, George Zimmerman! That law does not cover aggressors! Justice must prevail! Trayvon Martin must get justice! His death will NEVER be in vain. If killing of an innocent child does not constitute a crime, I wonder what else does! And somebody should tell Zimmerman that he will not have peace because "there is no peace for the wicked!"
