Femi Fani-Kayode: Like ISIS, Like Boko Haram

We can forgive the Arabs for killing our chldren. We cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill their children. We will only have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us”- Golda Meir, Prime Minister of Israel, United Nations General Assembly, 1972.

As it was in 1972 so it is today. All those that love and support Hamas and that hate Israel should read the words of Golda Meir and meditate on them. All those that have sympathy for the Haramites in Nigeria and their secret political friends, associates and allies should read the words of Golda Meir and meditate on them.

All those that do not understand that there is a nexus between Hamas, ISIS, Al Nusra, Al Shabaab, Boko Haram, Islamic Jihad, the Taliban, Al Qaeda and all the other vicious islamist, salifist militias throughout the world should read the words of Golda Meir, meditate on them and understand that these terrorist groups ALL take pleasure in forcing others to slaughter their children by using them as human shields in order to gain sympathy and effect their purpose.

13-Year-Old Girl: I Don’t Know Who Impregnated Me

Blessing is only 13 years old. But soon, she would become a mother. However, that is the only certainty about her pregnancy.

No one, including Blessing, knows the father of the unborn baby. It does not stop there. Blessing claimed that her 45-year-old father (name withheld) was sleeping with her. But, according to her, it was only in the dreamland. But what happens outside her dreams is that Blessing has gone out with so many men that it has become difficult to pinpoint the man responsible for her pregnancy.

Trouble for the young girl started three years earlier. At age 10, Blessing, according to her father, started going out with old men to unknown destinations. At a stage, her father and the landlord of the house where they live in Ogijo in Sagamu Local Government Area of Ogun State decided to seek the assistance of some boy to trail her and her male companions. The landlord, who craved anonymity, told New Telegraph Correspondent  that one night, he decided to volunteer himself and went out with the father in search of the girl.

10 Confessions from a Sex-Positive Wife

10 Confessions from a Sex-Positive Wife

1. Well, I just enjoy sex. I found out that sex feels “pretty good” (you have to say that with a Texan drawl to get the full effect) and experiencing it with the man I love and share my life with is deeply satisfying.

2. I like myself more. I used to feel quite broken because I didn’t enjoy sex (what’s wrong with me?). Now I feel like everything is in working order and I think I am also having less body-image issues. My sweetie enjoys my body and says I’m beautiful. Who am I to argue?
