Oral Sex Crashes 11-Year Old Marriage

A 66 -year old retiree, Michael Adesanya Agboola, has said that he fell apart with his ex-wife, Funke Alasiri because he stopped licking her private part. But, his estranged wife has denied the allegation.
Michael Agboola
Agboola, whose 11-year old marriage to Funke was dissolved by the Agege Grade ‘A’ Customary Court, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria, added that when he demanded an explanation for her unusual request, she told him it was the vogue among couples and that he must do it to satisfy her.
The Osun State-born driver who also claims his ex- wife forcibly evicted him from a bungalow he built on 26, Apode Street, Ojodu, Lagos, about four years ago in order to inherit it, said further that it is high time he challenged her in the open over the ownership of the house because of his futile attempts to get justice at the Lagos State Citizens Mediation Centre which he said declined to act on the matter for no clear reason.
“We started having problems because of her violent attitude and messy request for sex all the time. She was making sickening requests, asking me to lick her private part, which I did on several occasions. I never knew she applied juju on her private part to hypnotise me, because no sooner did I start licking her private part than I completely abandoned my first wife and four children.
“At a point, I warned her never to ask me for oral sex again. But one day, I was dressed for work when she rushed at me, begging me to come and suck her private part. It was then that I regained my consciousness and left her to marry another woman who has a child for me.”
He said:”I met her in 1997 during a visit to my dry cleaner in the neighbourhood. I saw her hawking clothes and bought two T-shirts from her. On getting home, my twin sons said I should buy them T-shirts too. The same day, I went back to my dry cleaner, who took me to Funke’s house.”
Agboola alleged that a few months later, he bought for her a plot of land foN650,000 on which she built a bungalow consisting of seven mini-flats and a shop.
“She told me that she would make three requests and that I should prepare for a showdown if I did not grant one of them. One, that I must divorce my eldest wife. Two, that I should give her permission to adopt a child. Three, that I should share my property with her because she feared that she might never get anything from my will if I died.
“I turned down the requests and queried her for wanting to adopt a child when I was not complaining about her childlessness. Moreover, she had two children from her previous marriage. It was at this point that she threatened to use the police to deal with me for rejecting her requests, and she boasted she would take over my property while I am still alive for being an ungrateful husband.
However,  Mrs. Funke Alasiri dismissed her ex-husband’s allegations describing them as rubbish and unfounded.
Her words:”When we went to Agege Customary Court where he  filed for a divorce suit, he mentioned the same thing, that I demanded for oral sex by asking him to lick my private part. He was rebuked by the President of the court.”

Robbers Abandon Snatched Editor’s Car

It was abandoned at Alakuko area Of Lagos and it has been handed over to the Police at Alausa Division, the jurisdiction where it was snatched on Sunday night.

Travellers experience scarcity of trolleys at Abuja Airport

Abuja -Scarcity of trolleys has hit the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA), Abuja, making it difficult for travellers to carry their luggage at the airport.
Trolleys are hard to come by at the airport, making porters to make brisk businesses, providing trolleys to travellers at the airport.
Mrs HenriettaYakubu, Deputy General Manager of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) confirmed the shortage of the trolleys at the airport.
She explained that porters were employed initially by FAAN to help aged people and travellers with excess luggage before the FAAN management decided to sack the porters because of their fraudulent activities at the airports.
“A window was opened whereby porters reached an agreement with the management to pay some amount of money monthly for the trolley in order to continue operating at the airport but with a warning not to demand money except it is given willingly by passengers.
“It is because of this abuse of opportunity that FAAN normally punished any porter caught in any illicit act within the airport by either suspending or dismissing them from operating in the airport, depending on the gravity of the offence,’’ Yakubu said
She said that FAAN had decided to make the trolleys available to porters who were to pay N5,000 monthly to FAAN, noting that it was for that reason that the porters, in turn, demanded money from travellers to help carry their luggage.
“Presently, the number of trolleys that we have at the airport is not enough to meet up with the demand of the passengers, due to high inflow and outflow of travellers at the airport daily.
“We cannot deny the fact of insufficient and unserviceable trolleys at the airport and this has been affecting the passengers but the management was looking into the matter before the issue of re-modelling of the airports came on board.
“ I believe things will change soon and the issue will be addressed as soon as possible because the re-modelling process is in phases; when it is time, the issue of trolley will be touched.
“Moreover, some private organisations have indicated interest in supplying us,’’ Yakubu said.
She said that pottering services at the NAIA had yet to be put on concession like at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, where trolleys were readily available for people to use at N100 for a trolley.
Mr Joe Obi, the Special Adviser to the Minister of Aviation, also confirmed the scarcity of trolleys at the Abuja Airport.
He told NAN that the ministry had procured more trolleys that would be supplied to airports across the country.
“More than enough have already been procured and would be deployed for use soon,’’ Obi said. (NAN)

Do medical checkup before vigorous exercis, expert warns

Abuja – An Abuja-based  medical practitioner on Tuesday warned Nigerians to endeavour to know the state of their health before engaging in vigorous exercises to prevent heart attack.
Dr Theresa Ikenwachukwu, Health Management Expert, who is in charge of the Abuja Children’s Home, in Karu, FCT, gave the warning in an interview.
Ikenwachukwu said the exercise could be dangerous when the person failed to know that he was hypertensive or had heart disease.
“It is always good to know the state of your health before engaging in any vigorous exercise, try to check your blood pressure and other tests to know the condition of your health.
“Exercise must not be vigorous; one can form the habit of using stairs instead of the lift, walk around the house or stroll along the street.”
She urged people to cultivate the habit of regular exercise because it enabled one to get rid of excess fat and also to get more oxygen into the body.
The doctor also advised expectant mothers to engage in regular exercises as such would keep their organs to be active because they had the tendency of developing hypertension.
“Our body is like an engine of a car, when a car is parked for five to six months without moving it, all the parts become stiff, so we need exercise.”
According to medical journals, these include strengthening muscles and the cardiovascular system, honing athletic skills, weight loss or maintenance and for enjoyment.
Frequent and regular physical exercise boosts the immune system, and helps to prevent the `diseases of affluence’ such as heart disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity.
It also improves mental health, helps prevent depression, helps to promote or maintain positive self-esteem, and can even augment an individual’s sex appeal or body image. (NAN)
