Rapper Eva Alordiah Gives Shocking Details On How Her Uncle Sexually Molested Her When She Was Just 6 Years

It is some months before August, the dates running all the way back into the calendars of the early 90s. In a few months from this day, she will turn 7 years old, maybe even have a big school party like her friend Aisha had weeks back. But today, while she's still 6 years old and counting.

He will satisfy the incessant needs of his groins. He will have her to himself and make her feel like he was right and she was wrong to refuse him. So he towers his tall lean frame above her, looking down on her as he intimidates her with his size.

She's scared, confused and lost all at the same time.

Is Eva Alordiah Denying Her ''Child Molestation Story"?

Yesterday Eva Alodiah had a radio interview with Hotfm Abuja Breakfast show where she explained that she was a victim of child molestation (though I did not listen to it). Infact this was what she was quoted to have said according to Popular blogger Linda Ikeji:

‘We are such a country that is so blessed by God. We don't have earthquake, volcanoes, tsunami. We are problems to ourselves and this is disgusting. I come from a background where I was molested as a child. Definitely it’s a serious situation where you have to put a child through that type of trauma’.

But few hours later the rapper was referring to the above quote as 'shit'...see her tweets after the cut...

Uderage Marriage: Senator Yerima And Constitutional Review, By Maryam Uwais

Once again, Senator Yerima is in the news, claiming Islam as the basis for his argument that a girl automatically transforms into an adult of ‘full age’ once she is married, with the attendant responsibilities that relate to the renunciation of citizenship, irrespective of her age or mental capacity. Because the Senator from Zamfara State has gone public with his personal comprehension of the Shari’a, it has become necessary to respond publicly to his utterances.

BIZARRE: Killing Of Twins Still Ongoing In Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja

It's been 98 years since the death of Mary Slessor, the Scottish missionary to Nigeria who led crusades that stopped some societies from killing twin babies at birth. Such births were seen then as taboo and not tolerated.... it seems some communities in Nigeria, even today, are out to rubbish and undo what Slessor did.

It might shock you to hear that there is still a community that still sees twins or multiple birth as abomination... it is more confounding to find that the communities are in the nation’s Federal Capital Territory (FCT). How awful!

According to Olusola Stevens and his wife. Stevens is the North Central Director of the Christian Missionary Foundation (CMF). 

They discovered some strange practices among the Bassa Komo (Gbajingala clan) that endanger the lives of children and asked God for an opportunity to save some of the children from the clutches of death....In the Bassa Komo (Gbajingala clan) it is an abomination to be born a twin; or if a mother dies within three months of a baby’s birth; or if a child grows upper teeth first or is born with defect. These are all faults of the baby or babies involved. To the people of the community, these are signs that such babies were fabricated in the factory of the devil and are themselves evil. Such offences by the evil baby or babies are punishable by burial alive.

Very Touching Stories Of 7 Children Who Were Raised By Animals

I read this sad and shocking tales of children who have been isolated from human contact from a very young age, they don't seem to have any experience of human care, love and social behavior...and I decided to share with you all.

Ugandan monkey boy

After seeing his mother murdered by his father, a traumatized 4-year-old John Ssebunya fled into the jungle, where he reportedly was raised by a troop of vervet monkeys until his discovery in 1991. As is often the case when feral children are discovered, he resisted capture from the villagers who sought to take him, and he got assistance from his adoptive monkey family (which supposedly threw sticks at his captors). Since his capture, John has been taught how to speak, and can now sing, too. In fact, he even tours with the Pearl of Africa children's choir. 

Ukrainian dog girl

Left to live in a kennel by her abusive and neglectful parents from the ages of 3 to 8, Oxana Malaya grew up with no other company than the dogs she shared the kennel with. When she was found in 1991, she was unable to speak, choosing only to bark, and ran around on all fours. Now in her 20s, Malaya has been taught to speak but remains cognitively impaired. She has found some peace caring for cows that reside on a farm near the mental institution where she lives.
