The men, said to members of a cult group known as Blue Angel, saw the girl as she was returning from school, they stopped her, took her to their hideout and raped her. All six of them. They recorded the act with a mobile phone and threatened to post the video online if she told anyone what happened.
Fortunately she did and two of the rapists, Wale Fadahunsi, 28, and Banji Olaseinde, 25, have been arrested, while four others are on the run. Those on the run include Tope Oluwole; Tope Jigan and Muyideen. The two that were arrested were paraded a few days ago where they confessed to raping the helpless girl whose identity is being concealed because of her age.

A former governor of Oyo State, Chief Adebayo Alao-Akala, in this interview with ADEOLA BALOGUN and TUNDE ODESOLA
denied bleaching his skin and said anyone who says he's bleaching is very stupid.During the interview, a Punch reporter asked him, 'Is it part of your own fashion to bleach?'
Chief Adebayo Alao-Akala replied...
Bleach? That is stupidity; you are asking a very stupid question, how can I bleach? You are very stupid to ask that question. What do you mean by that? What gave you that impression?
(He pulled up his clothe and singlet to show his fair complexion.) Is this bleaching? Have you seen the cream that I use that makes me bleach or did you know me when I was black? So if you want to write that, put it there that I said you are very stupid to ask me that kind of question. Don’t ask that kind of question again. What you don’t know; you ask. You don’t even know my parents. Is my wife complaining or my children? I don’t know what gave anybody the impression that I bleach. You don’t know me; do you know what it takes to bleach?

Christmas has a couple of things in common with the Apocalypse. They
both have something to do with God and they both make me feel as though the end
of the world is nigh.
This Girl still falls into the trap of trying to get everything done
right before Christmas. Like, everything I was planning to do for the year,
jammed into about four weeks.
Okay, it’s not quite that bad, but you get the point.
Here are five things I did this weekend to get ready for the pending
merriment.
1. Decorate
Deck the halls with boughs of holly fa la la la la, la la la la.
This might not seem unusual to you, but This Girl has never been big on
trees and tinsel. The Lovely Deputy loves celebrating Christmas. This year,
‘I’m the arty one’ and Skater boy will be here, so I’ve bought baubles for the
tree he’s promised and hung bells and disco balls.
Christmas
disco inferno
|
The latter
is for my own amusement. I’ve even made a table placement.
This is me, going all out.
2. Made a
fruitcake
I don’t really understand why you’d ruin a perfectly good cake by
burdening it with sultanas, raisins, currents and glace cherries and then say
it’s especially for Christmas. Errrkkk!
However, in the spirit of Christmas I often make one for others, this
year is no different.
Of course, they’re meant to be made months prior but because I’m not a
connoisseur, it doesn’t mean that much to me.
I made mine this weekend.
I
don't think I should have used fan-force.
|
I have a number of recipes but I generally pick the one that includes
golden syrup, chocolate and jam. I just like the idea of it. Instead of glace
cherries, I chose mixed glace fruit: apricot, pear, peach, pineapple and
orange. I also halved the raisin quantity and replaced it with cranberries.
This year,
I’m going to make myself try the fruitcake. Grimace.
3. Sand the
wrought iron fence
This project has been on the books for years. I returned to it a few
months ago to abandon it again in preference to painting the spare room.
This weekend I took to the fence with an electric sander. I'd like it to
look presentable, instead of peeling paint and rust.
It's
been too windy to go outside and sand today!
|
Needless to
say, I didn’t finish it. It will now be added to the 5 things I do next weekend
to prepare for Christmas.
4. Plan the
Christmas Menu
The Other Girl was horrified when I told her that I hadn’t decided what
we were eating for Christmas. I need Lovely Deputy’s advice on young person
appropriate menus.
In preparation, I pulled every November and December edition of Gourmet
Traveller magazine since 1998, and a few of Maggie Beer's books, off my shelves
for ideas.
Lovely
Deputy and I may have different definitions of a short list.
|
Tonight I’m
planning on presenting my shortlist to him.
The desserts are non-negotiable however.
Christmas eve is Peach and Raspberry Steamed Pudding with Butterscotch
Sauce and Christmas lunch is a Chocolate Cherry Semi-freddo.
5. Clean the house
My house has to be spotless for Christmas. It’s just the way it is. So,
I took to the backroom with sugar soap, a giant garbage bag and the vacuum
cleaner.
I’m now working my way through the house.
