Polygamous pastor proudly shows off his 2 wives, many children

- Sekati Kemmonye is a man of God who believes man cannot live by one woman alone 

- He is a father of many who blessed himself with two beautiful wives 

- The happy preacher had people talking when he posted a photo of his ladies gleefully holding hands and posing next to each other 

What is better than having a wife to go home to, a shoulder to cry on and a partner to spend the rest of your life with? A popular pastor from Botswana named Sekati Kemmonye believes the answer is two wives. 

Polygamy, an African tradition that had been turned into a big abomination is slowly creeping its way back to civilisation and even religious clerics are embracing it. Kemmonye has become the talk of the town after proudly parading his two irresistible wives on social media. It all started with a photo of the cleric draped in identical shirts with his ladies as they sat next to one another during a family safari.

Their fits collectively spelt out love and their faces glimmered with satisfaction as the proud husband flaunted the fruits of togetherness. His photographer Innocent Suge also marvelled at how the family lived in harmony and shared a bond so strong. Sekati went ahead to post a picture of himself and his two wives standing tall with their kids who were also dressed in matching clothes. It was a family affair like no other.

 They knew nothing like segregation and made sure everyone went on their outing. The family enjoyed a stroll and drive in a national park. As we  scrolled through the pastor’s Facebook account, we came across a post of the family man fiercely supporting men who were courageous enough to get two apples of their eye. He termed people who opposed polygamy as pretenders and said even religion allows such practice.

He was quickly whisked away from Ijomu Ward 4 where the incident took place and was taken to a police clinic in Akure.

Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of investigations, Lanre Bankole, said the victim is now stable, adding that two suspects have been apprehended in connection with the attack.

Ondo 2020: Police arrest fake observer while buying votes in Owo

 Policemen on Saturday arrested a man who claimed to be an election observer at Ward 4, Polling Unit 15, Shagari Market along the Owo-Benin Highway.

EyewitnessMedia gathered that that he approached voters to sell their votes when he was reportedly attacked by some voters who nearly lynched him.

The Commissioner of Police in charge of Owo and Ose Local Government Areas, Abutu Yaro, told reporters that the man was rescued while his accomplice fled the scene.

Yaro said, “The man was arrested by the mob and the mob was even trying to lynch him, they had already torn his clothes, you can see him looking tattered already.

“Then, we ran into them. That was when they stopped the attempt to lynch him.

“In fact, at the time we picked him, his second, who was in another car, took off.

“The proactive measure adopted by the members of the public was what saved the situation.

“They wanted to mob him because he was there for vote-buying purpose and the voters resisted selling their votes.”

The unidentified man, however, denied the allegation, saying, “I appreciate the police for rescuing me but the police didn’t arrest any other person.

“I was mobbed because I drew the attention of the police to the people there because they were doing what was not right.

“I am not a voter, I am not a party agent, I am observing the election,” he said while refusing to name the organisation he worked for.

Meanwhile, Atiku Abubakar has lent also his voice into the public campaign against the brutality of police officers belonging to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), with the former vice president sending a solidarity message to the Nigerian youths. 

In a tweet on Friday, October 9, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain expressed sadness over what he termed as "disproportionate use of force on protesters across the nation."

- The #EndSARS protests are taking new dimensions as it enters Day 3 nationwide 

 - Police officers in the Nigerian capital, Abuja have resorted to violence in ending the protests 

- Tear gas was fired at young Nigerians staging a procession against police brutality in the nation's seat of power 

The Nigeria Police Force has opened fire on innocent protesters in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. 

The protesters were young Nigerians staging a procession against police brutality across the country before they were assaulted by policemen. 

Olu Onemola, a former news media assistant to ex-Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki is one of those arrested.

 Onemola tweeted that he is being detained at a station in Maitama, Abuja for participating in the protest. 

Onemola's ex-boss, Saraki, recently added his voice to the #EndSARS protests. 

He wrote on Twitter:

 “The reports of the aggression meted out to young Nigerians protesting the high handedness of rogue units of the Nigeria Police Force are deeply disturbing. “Leaders of our nation ought to listen to and engage with our youth on matters concerning their wellbeing. I hope this approach changes soon.” 

This past week, thousands of youths nationwide have taken to the streets to demand that police authorities scrap the dreaded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF). The unit of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has become a thorn in the flesh of Nigerian youths in the past few years, harassing young men and women over their hairstyles, gadgets or cars. In the last few years, the hashtag #EndSARS have been prominent on Nigerian Twitter as the cases of police brutality move from dozens to hundreds. 

The recent social media campaigns have moved to the streets as young Nigerians vow to shut down the country until their voices are heard. Meanwhile, as the #EndSARS protests enter Day 3 nationwide, the Lagos state House of Assembly has called on the federal government to scrap the unit. The decision was taken at an emergency plenary session by the state House of Assembly on Friday, October 9. The Speaker of the House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa had called for the session after protesters laid siege in the Assembly complex since Thursday, October 8. 

Pastor Adeboye says terrorists in Nigeria will not see the new

 

- Christian leader, Pastor Enoch Adeboye has sent a strong message to sponsors of terrorists in the country 

-The pastor's harsh comments were sent via his twitter handle

 - Huge reactions have trailed Adeboye's latest comments on terrorism 

The general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye has predicted a tragic end for those behind terrorism in Nigeria. Adeboye made the prediction on Friday, October 9, via his official twitter handle.

The clergyman who suggested that his prediction was backed by a divine origin, stated that terrorists and their sponsors in the country will not see the new year. 

Adeboye said:

 “I decree in the Name that is above every other name, any terrorist and any sponsor of terrorists in Nigeria, will not see the new year." 

The pastor's statement has generated huge reactions with thousands of likes, comments and retweets. 

Adeboye is one of the religious leaders in the country who does not shy away from making comments on national issues. Recently, he warned the federal government that Nigeria may break up if the country is not restructured. 

Adeboye gave the warning on Saturday, October 3, at a symposium to mark Nigeria’s 60th Independence Day celebration. He told his audience that the federal government must find a lasting solution to secession agitations and its economic challenges by restructuring the country. 

However, the presidency responded by telling Nigerians to refrain from trying to compel the federal government to take decisions on restructuring. Garba Shehu, one of the spokespersons to the president in a statement on Sunday, October 4, described such comments as unpatriotic outbursts. 

He said the Buhari administration would not succumb to threats and take any decision out of pressure at a time the nation is dealing with security challenges and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Actress Chacha Eke refutes domestic violence claims, says she has bipolar disorder (photo)

-Actress Chacha Eke Faani said that she has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder 

- Chacha made another video refuting rumours that she is a victim of domestic violence

 - The mother of three promised to share some photos soon. 

Nollywood actress Chacha Eke Faani has spoken out again after her outburst on social media about the end of her marriage to her husband Austin.

In a video she shared on her official Instagram page, the actress noted that she is not a victim of domestic violence contrary to the opinion of people. According to her, doctors have diagnosed her of having bipolar disorder. Mayo Clinic states that bipolar disorder, formerly called manic depression, is a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings that include emotional highs and lows. 

"Five days ago, I made a video saying that my marriage to Austin Faani is over and that video came with a lot of backlash from people with many insinuating that it's a clear case of domestic violence. It's not. Austin has never laid his hands on me. Austin has never even raised his voice at me and God in heaven knows that's the truth. 

I'm here at First Delta American hospital, Asaba, receiving treatment. Several psychiatrists have come to assess me mentally and I have been diagnosed of bipolar disorder. Bipolar is real. Here in Africa, we tend not to know about it due to ignorance or overlook it. I cannot tell you all how I've been feeling in these tiny videos that I've been making but I will, however, show you motion pictures soon."

However, her wedding gown seemed to attract a lot of side talks on social media due to the nature of the design. Fatima rocked a lacey mermaid-like dress with a sheer fabric - the shade of her skin - underneath the lace. 

For many people, the design was not befitting of a Muslim bride who is expected to cover up for her ceremony.

The man who calls himself 'Wiseman Jesus', said that 'disobedient wives need violence', and women of nowadays ys are quick to cry domestic violence over 'small beating'. 

Read his full post below :

“Chacha Eke can stay in marriage in movie but can’t in real life. She always obey her husband on movies and opposite is the case in real life. People and fake life. A disobedient wife needs violence. All this Nollywood akwunas. I love Chacha and her role on movies and she sticks to marriage on set . What is it that your husband did that you are leaving. 

"Why not endure till end . I have lived in domestic violence house and I know at some times you have to stick and keep moving . If he beat you, run and come back. Women of nowadays small beating you will start shouting domestic violence. If you meet real violence you cant even run. Thats why we have high rate of divorce nowadays. Stop disobeying your man.”
