Dear PON readers: My boyfriend kisses me and leaves a fountain of saliva in my mouth
So I just met this guy 2 yrs ago and so far, its been a good relationship. Could it be better? Definitely. I say this because he doesn't know how to kiss me deeply without leaving lots of his saliva in my mouth which I usually have to swallow because I don't want to hurt his pride by going to spit right after he kisses me. I've talked to him about it though jokingly. He says its because he's usually so turned on when we kiss deeply that he doesn't have control over how much he salivates. Do I leave a small bowl at the head of the bed when ever we want to get it on? Or do I say Adieu to this man. I don't know what to do as I have my own saliva and don't need extra. Advise please.Lol @ I have my own saliva. I've been there...not the best situation to be in. Any advice for her?
"Ladies, a man will treat you the way you carry yourself" - Keri Hilson
Keri Hilson dishes relationship advice. She says if you want to attract a gentleman, keep it classy.
"I often wonder if more girls were willing to be ladies, more guys would feel challenged to be gentlemen.
Ladies don’t get it twisted. It DOES start with YOU!! Unfortunately, every man doesn’t possess some standard high amount of respect for every woman they encounter…just as every woman doesn’t exude the same amount of confidence, class, or self respect. This is not a perfect world, where men treat “hoes” with the same respect they give “ladies” just because their mother taught them well.
Bottom line is, a man will treat you according to the “messages” YOU put out there. That’s the way of the world…reality. If you exude sex, you will attract men who want that from you. If you exude self respect, you will attract the type of men who respect women. In this world, you attract what you exude. Ladies, WE set the tone!! NEVER forget that!! We have the power to change our experiences with men.”
Who agrees with her?

My husband performs greatly with other women, but cannot perform when with me
There is this huge problem facing me. Five years ago, I left my former boyfriend because I caught him in bed with another woman. He actually tried everything to make me come back but I refused...A year later he got married to the same woman I caught him cheating on me with. I was very hurt by it all; I vowed to get even with him.
A friend of mine took me to a spiritualist who promised to help me deal with him. Thereafter, I met and married my current husband.
Before we got married, my husband and I had a good s3x life but the moment we got married, I noticed he couldn’t perform as a man.
Before we begin, he would be okay as a man but the moment he attempts to get into me, he goes limp. We didn’t understand what was happening. At first, he thought it was just the stress in the office affecting him. I did all the tricks I know as a woman but none worked when it matters the most.
While I was still trying to solve the problem, I learnt he has put another woman in the family way. His excuse was since he wasn’t able to perform as a man with me; he did it with another woman just to make sure he wasn’t the problem.
It is just that he got her pregnant but his people are making plans to bring the woman to the house.
Hurt, I went out to do the same thing he did but I discovered that none of the men I tried to sleep with could get it up.
It was then I knew I was the target of whatever is wrong with my marriage.
I tried going back to the spiritualist my friend took me to, only to discover he no longer lived where we met him. I was told by his neighbours that he had relocated.
Desperate, I confided in a friend who took me somewhere. It was there I was told that the cause of my problem had to do with what I did to my former boyfriend. I had forgotten all about that. In my confusion, it skipped my mind that I had, out of anger, told the spiritualist that he should punish him by making it impossible for him and the woman he married to function as a couple.
According to this spiritualist, the only thing that would break the curse on me is to sleep with him. Surprisingly, he could sleep with me as a man but once I go back to another man, the problem came back. I am so fed up because it looks like I will never get out of it. The more places I go, the more complicated my problems become.
The latest is that my husband has driven me out of the house. I am writing because I don’t know what else to do. I have gone everywhere but the issue remains. Please help me.
I don’t know what to do or who to turn to? Can you help me, Readers? Can you find a solution to my problem? Will I ever be able to have a baby? I know it isn’t the usual thing to do.
[Bangladesh Collapsed Building] MEET The Woman Rescued After 17 Days
Rescue miracle: It’s proof miracles do happen.
Bangladeshi rescue workers pulled a seamstress from the rubble of a collapsed garment factory today, 17 days after the building collapsed.
“I heard voices of the rescue workers for the past several days,” the woman, known only by her first name, Reshma, told Bangladeshi television Somoy TV from her hospital bed.
“I kept hitting the wreckage with sticks and rods just to attract their attention.”
Rescue workers say she survived by eating dried food and leftover water she was able to scavenge from her area. Some reports suggest she found the food in bags belonged to her dead co-workers. But after 15 days the food supply ran out, according to reports, and survived on water alone for the past two.
“No one heard me,” she said. “It was so bad for me. I never dreamed I’d see the daylight again.”

Rescue workers say she survived by eating dried food and leftover water she was able to scavenge from her area. Some reports suggest she found the food in bags belonged to her dead co-workers. But after 15 days the food supply ran out, according to reports, and survived on water alone for the past two.
“No one heard me,” she said. “It was so bad for me. I never dreamed I’d see the daylight again.”
But today, she did. After more than 17 days of living alone, afraid, and in the dark, buried under eight stories of concrete rubble, rescuers pulled her to safety. After hearing her voice, they ordered heavy rescue machinery to stop digging, and according to reports, used saws and drills to cut through debris that was trapping her.
As news that a survivor had been discovered, anticipation among the large crowd gathered around the site of the collapsed building grew. Prayers were recited on a loudspeaker for her recovery, while many held their hands to sky invoking help from God.
When she was finally freed, rescuers discovered she was in shockingly good health for someone who had been through such a terrible ordeal. Rescuers believe she was on the second floor of the building when it collapsed.
In addition to the sheer weight of the structure, what makes her survival more incredible are the torrid temperatures she endured while trapped. The heat typically reached close to a hundred degrees during the days while she was buried in the rubble.
More than 2,500 people were rescued in the aftermath of the collapse on April 24, but rescuers had long abandoned hope of finding any more survivors. Their rescue efforts were complicated several days later when a fire broke out underneath the rubble and the Bangladeshi government called off the official rescue effort.
The official death toll now stands at more than 1,000. Many of the dead are workers who toiled away at one of the building’s many garment factories, earning less than $40 a day. Government officials have since charged the building’s owner, saying he illegally added three extra floors to the building when it was only zoned for five. Police footage also showed large cracks had appeared in the building’s support pillars the day before the collapse. Police ordered the building evacuated, but factory owners reportedly ordered their employees back inside once inspectors had left.
Bangladesh’s garment industry is worth $20 billion a year, with nearly $5 billion worth of exports annually to the United States.
Several western clothing labels have since been linked to the factories operating in the building, raising questions about whether western companies where aware of the safety violations at the building, and whether western pressure led the factories to stay open when clearly, it shouldn’t have been.

Banned! Lagos Stops ‘Keke’ Operation On Major Roads
Lagos State government on Friday banned the activities of commercial Tricycles, popularly called Keke Napep from major roads in the state, saying, “it is meant to protect the lives and property of the residents of the state.”Speaking at the 2013 Ministerial Press Briefing held in Alausa to mark the sixth anniversary of Governor Babatunde Fashola’s administration, Commissioner for transportation, Mr. Kayode Opeifa said the state government had held several meetings with the unions on the development, and “they have agreed to stay away from these roads.”
Some of the roads tricycle operation was outlawed are; all roads in Victoria Island, Government Residential Area, GRA Ikeja and Ikoyi. Also on Awolowo road and Awolowo way, Alausa and all major roads in Surulere Local Government.
The commissioner warned that tricycles are not replacements for motorcycle, popularly called Okada, in the state, as he said “it isn’t a sustainable means of transport for the state especially Lagos that is a megacity.”
“I learnt that some Okada riders have began to sell their motorcycle to by tricycle but they can no longer operate on these major roads again.”
The commissioner explained that section 3 of the 2012 Lagos road traffic law also outlawed the operation of the tricycle in the state.
The road traffic bill was signed into law last year by Governor Babatunde Fashola, a law aimed at improving safety on the Lagos roads.
“After that law was gazetted, the state government allowed tricycle to operate on some of these roads because vehicles available in those roads weren’t enough to convey the passengers plying the road,” he said.
Now that the state has enough Bus Rapid Transport, BRT and LAGBUS buses, as well as taxis on these roads, the tricycle won’t be needed anymore, Opeifa stated.
The state government has also vowed to impound any disused and abandoned vehicles across the state, as the commissioner explained that “4,632 vehicles were currently abandoned on over 9,100 roads in the State.”
“They constitute threat security of lives and property in the state.”
According to him, “While we are proud to improve on information of the removal of over 4,300 abandoned and disused vehicles from Lagos roads, it is saddening that recent survey by the CDA/CDC’s under the supervision of the Ministry of Rural Development have again in the last 3 month identify another 4,632 vehicles abandoned on over 9,100 roads in Lagos State.”
“These vehicles are veritable tools for hoodlums, miscreants, armed robbers and other forms of social vices. So also they pose health risk. We will not relent on enforcement.”
“To spare part dealers vehicle/Auto sales dealers please be advised as vehicles illegally displayed on road setback will be treated as abandoned/disused vehicle,” Opeifa said.
To this end, “we have instructed officers of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA and Vehicle Inspection Service, VIS, to immediately begin to impound any abandoned or disused cars in the state.”

We Were Arguing Over Stolen Tyres When Policeman Shot Ibrahim Dead – Friend
The atmosphere at Fagbohun Compound, Ishaga Orile in Abeokuta North Local Government Area of Ogun State was grim when our correspondent visited on Monday.
All was quiet, not even a whimper was heard in the house as sympathisers sat quietly around 60-year-old Rahmon Fagbohun and his wife, Rohimat.
Their son, Ibrahim, was allegedly shot dead at Pleasure Bus Stop on Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway, Lagos, by a police inspector attached to the Elere Police Division.
The policeman, Ibrahim Abdullahi, who is currently in the custody of the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba, Lagos, shot Ibrahim directly in the forehead with his service rifle around 8.30pm last Thursday.
Even without any wailing and cries of agony, the atmosphere captured the grief of the Fagbohun family.
Getting to the compound was easy in the small community, as all the residents already knew where a tragedy had occurred.
Rahmon explained that when he first heard about the death of his son, all he was told by a stranger who called him was that his son had an accident; so, he should prepare to come to Lagos.
He said, “The person did not tell me which hospital he was taken to. Since I already knew his house in Lagos, I simply dressed up that night and looked for a motorcyclist who took me to Abeokuta, in order to get a bus to Lagos.
“There were no buses going to Lagos anymore that night, so I had to come back home. But we were not at peace because we had no information as to how he was doing or how badly he was injured in the accident. But I did not know that it was a lie, that he had been shot dead.”
According to Rahmon, he got a call from Ibrahim’s younger brother the following day. Alas! The cat was let out of the bag - Ibrahim had been shot dead. His mother fainted upon hearing the news.
When Rohimat was revived, she rose with a scream.
The bereaved woman, our correspondent was told, had been screaming and calling for her son since the day she heard the news. She was simply too tired to even sob by the time our correspondent visited.
“Ibrahim had been living in Lagos for more than 10 years. He was never a bad boy. I told him he must never be an area boy when he went to Lagos. He listened to me and became a tyre repairer instead.
“All through the time he was there, I never heard anything bad about him. He always ensured he sent me money regularly, no matter how small it was. He came home recently and bought me this phone. He said he could not be working in Lagos, while I did not have a phone.
“On Thursday, he called me on the phone and said he would be coming home to visit us on Friday (the day after he was shot dead). I did not know I was speaking with my son for the last time. May God judge that policeman. He will die in prison by God’s grace.”
Rahmon said the police should release the body of his son as soon as possible. He said the fact that it was still being held was adding to the sorrow of the family.
He lamented that the Lagos State Police Command had not called to sympathise with him.
In tears, he regretted that his son had been killed like a nobody.
While he spoke, Rohimat, who was obviously seething with anger interjected with her voice that had gone hoarse with wailing. She said that nothing would ever be done to compensate for the many things Ibrahim had promised he would do for her.
It is obvious this family, whose main stay is farming, has lost a helper in their slain son.
However, our correspondent learnt that contrary to reports that Ibrahim had withheld the tyres of an individual, who enlisted the help of the policeman that shot the tyre repairer, Saturday PUNCH learnt that the deceased was not involved in any issue with anybody.
When Saturday PUNCH visited the scene of the alleged murder on Tuesday, Ibrahim’s friends said the deceased was a mere bystander who was shot by a trigger-happy policeman.
Sati, who is the chairman of the conductors’ association at the bus stop, was an eyewitness and a participant in the misunderstanding that led to Ibrahim’s death.
He told Saturday PUNCH at Pleasure Bus Stop that members of his group were accused of stealing some tyres at the bus stop.
“We were all arguing and I know my members well that they would do no such thing. The argument went on and that was when I saw the patrol van of the Elere Police Division passing by.
“We called the policemen to take us all to the station to sort out the issue because we were being accused wrongly. The policeman who shot Ibrahim at first did not intervene. His action there suggested that he was the one leading the patrol at the time.
“He stood apart, looking at us while his men sorted out the issue. The argument went on and I remembered Ibrahim was standing by, just looking at the scene. Suddenly the policeman raised his rifle and fired some shots.”
Sati said he had no idea what had happened as many people fled.
He explained that by the time the confusion settled, he saw Ibrahim on the ground, bleeding heavily from his forehead.
The policemen fled immediately but later returned for the body.
Saturday PUNCH learnt that a mob marched to Elere Police Division in protest, an action which forced the police to arrest the killer policeman and hand him over to the SCID.
The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, Mr. Umar Manko, has described the incident as ‘death by accidental discharge’ but promised that Abdullahi would be prosecuted.
Ibrahim’s uncle, Mr. Odegbami Suraju, told Saturday PUNCH that the family was awaiting the post-mortem examination to be conducted on the body.
“The police paid the post-mortem and mortuary bills. The police authorities said there would be a meeting on Tuesday and they would communicate to us the outcome of the meeting. So, we await whatever decision would be taken on the case,” he said.
Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Ngozi Braide, said the process that would culminate in the orderly room trial of the policeman had begun.
“The process is ongoing. We’ll make the outcome of the orderly room trial known after it is completed,” she told Saturday PUNCH

VACANCY! VACANCY!! Luxury Prostitutes In Cannes Earn $40,000 A Night!
The oldest profession in the world-prostitution seems to one of the well-paid jobs in the world too—-depending on who your clients are…At the prestigious annual Cannes film festival, it is being reported that certain prostitutes who high profile clients who work on million-dollar yachts earn 40 thousands of dollars a night.
According to Lebanese businessman, Elie Nahas, who was arrested in 2007 for running a Cannes prostitution ring that supplied more than 50 women ‘of various nationalities’ to rich Middle Eastern men during the festival, the money call girls make is bigger than most people realize.

From full-time escorts to models, actresses and beauty queens, the call girls servicing wealthy men in Cannes’ luxury hotels, and on million-dollar yachts can earn thousands of dollars a night.
According to Lebanese businessman, Elie Nahas, who was arrested in 2007 for running a Cannes prostitution ring that supplied more than 50 women ‘of various nationalities’ to rich Middle Eastern men during the festival, the money call girls make is bigger than most people realize.
Mr Nahas, 48, who unable to leave Lebanon while his eight-year prison sentence is being appealed, told The Hollywood Reporter: ‘They can make up to $40,000 a night.
‘Arabs are the most generous people in the world. If they like you, they will give you a lot of money.
‘At Cannes, they carry money around in wads of 10,000 euros. To them, it’s just like paper,’ he explained. ‘They don’t even like to count it. They’ll just hand it to the girls without thinking.’
Mr Nahas, who owns a Beirut-based modeling agency and used to work as a right-hand man for Moatessem Gadhafi, the son of Muammar Gadhafi, who were both killed in Libya in 2011, denies he was running a prostitution ring.
However, he explained: ‘I know the system.’
The more experienced escorts, he said, target Cannes’ high-end hotels ‘where all the Arabs stay,’ and where, after 10pm, call girls perch in the lobby waiting for prospective clients to check them out.
‘It’s all done with hand signals,’ he explained. ‘The guys signal their room numbers with their hands and the girls follow them.’
But the luxury yachts, which house some of the world’s wealthiest men – many single, some married – is where the serious money is, Mr Nahas said.
‘Every year during the festival there are 30 or 40 luxury yachts in the bay at Cannes, and every boat belongs to a very rich person.
‘Every boat has about 10 girls on it; they are usually models, and they are usually unclad or half unclad. . . The girls are all waiting for their envelopes at the end of the night. It’s been going on there for 60 years.’
But it’s not all luxury yachts and high-end hotels. Local prostitutes, who charge up to $75 an hour work alongside high-priced call girls, which the French call putes de luxes, who charge an average of $4,000 a night.
But no matter what a prostitutes’ status, the Cannes Film Festival is ‘the biggest payday of the year,’ according to one Parisian escort.‘We all look forward to it,’ said Daisey, a local prostitute in Cannes who has her own website. ‘There’s a lot of competition because there are so many girls, but the local ones have an advantage. We know the hotel concierges.’
It is routine to drop cash off with concierges at the town’s top hotels, she said, and in return, concierges will steer clients their way.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, up to 200 escorts are coming and going from big hotels every day during the festival.
Roger Ebert, the American film critic who died last month, famously tweeted in 2010: ‘Hookers stand out in Cannes. They’re the ones who are well-dressed and not smoking.’
I’m Still Expecting Artificial Arm From Dangote Cement – Injured worker
30-year-old Adekunle Adesanya had high hopes for his future the day he was employed as a factory worker at Dangote Cement in Ibese, Ogun State.
The secondary school certificate holder had dabbled into hip hop music and hoped to take it to the next level.
But first, he needed a job to keep body and soul together as he worked to get recognition in the music world.
“I applied for the job with Dangote Cement as a divertor machine operator because I could not find something better. I had no means to go further in my education but I did not lose hope of going for higher education in the future,”Adesanya told our correspondent.
The Ijebu-Ode indigene was employed at the factory on February 10, 2012.
He told our correspondent that though he was employed as a casual worker at the factory, the authorities told those in his set they would soon be incorporated as full staff. This, he said, was why he accepted the N26,000 per month salary.
But barely one month into his employment, Adesanya would regret ever setting foot in the company.
He was on night duty on March 20, 2012. The young man went to work without an inkling of the calamity that was about to befall him, the calamity that turned his life upside-down. That day, he went to work, looking forward to a successful day at work.
“I was on night duty that day. Night duty starts at 6pm and ends at 7am the following morning.
“I was on the shift at the divertor machine. My responsibility was to see that finished cement bags pass through the conveyor belt unhindered. I was also responsible for sorting out any bags that gets caught in the machine and rearrange it for onward conveyance through the belt,” Adesanya said.
He had done this same job hundreds of times, he knew what he was doing, he explained. But that day, he would lose his arm to the same machine.
The young man claimed that he did not just lose his arm to the machine, he nearly lost his life because of the factory management’s negligence.
Adesanya said, “Anytime a bag is caught between the belt, I am expected to stop the divertor machine in order to properly rearrange the bags. But that night as I stopped to rearrange some bags of cement that were stuck, the machine suddenly kicked back to life and I had to quickly jump off it.
“When this happened, I went down to the control room to report the incident so they could rectify the problem with the machine. But I was told to go back and continue using the machine because that was the way they had been using it for a while.”
He claimed the incident happened three times and he complained to the factory’s control room at each time.
Adesanya said he would have been sacked on the spot if he refused to continue working on the machine. He did not want to lose the only job he had at the time, he said.
The now physically handicapped young man explained, “After the third incident, I had to go to the technician on duty to express my anxiety about the situation and the problem with the machine.
“He too said I should go back to work and try and manage it well. When I went back to the machine, I met one Mr. Joseph, who supervises the machine. He complained that I was not at my duty post but I explained the situation to him.
“The man stayed with me to rearrange the bags because at this point, many of them had become stuck on the belt. But while we were on the machine, the same thing happened. The machine turned on by itself. I quickly jumped off but the checker was caught between the railings and I had to pull the cable out to stop the machine.”
Adesanya did not stop working on the machine because he said he feared being fired.
He did not want to lose his job in an environment where there are probably 100 others waiting to fill that same position.
He said around 4am, he stood on the edge of the machine, to remove some bags that had been stuck again.
“The machine came on in an instant. The belt caught my feet and I fell down between the belts. The belts caught my right arm and chew it off from the shoulder. Nobody was there to help me but I managed to pull myself out and called for help.
“I lay in a pool of blood as other employees who heeded my call could do nothing. There was no medical staffer on duty.”
Adesanya said he was later taken to a clinic around 5am and was given treatment.
He explained that some management staff of the factory, in company with one Mr. Malik, whom they referred to as the Deputy Managing Director, came to visit him in the hospital and promised some compensation and prosthetics.
Adesanya’s voice thickened with emotion. Tears he had held back without success ran down his cheeks as he continued.
He told Saturday PUNCH, “I stayed in different hospitals for about six months until I was discharged. The company paid the hospital bills. But this is one year after the incident, the company has not fulfilled any of its promises.
“I cannot go on with my life like this. I have become a disabled man because of that company’s negligence. The least they should do is to make life a little easier for me by compensating me and providing me with prosthetics.
“Am a tenacious young man with great dreams but this incident has set me back. What can I do without my arm? Where do I start? The management of Dangote Cement has turned a deaf ear to my cry.”
Adesanya’s lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana, has demanded N50m compensation on his behalf.
A letter addressed to the company by Falana stated in part, “It is so pathetic and disheartening for your client to have abandoned our client since the tragic accident caused by your client’s negligence.
“As our client do not intend to sleep over his right as contained under the relevant acts governing matters of this nature,we have our client’s instruction to demand and hereby demand that the sum of N50,000,000. (fifty million naira) be paid to our client as compensation.”
When the company did not pay, the lawyer filed a suit against it at the Abeokuta High Court.
When our correspondent contacted the Group Head, Corporate Communications, Dangote Group, Mr. Anthony Chiejina, he said the company had not abandoned the Adesanya as he claimed.
“The company has not stopped his salary for more than a year since the incident happened. We have also being taking care of his hospital bills.
“At the moment, we are making arrangements to get him prosthetic arm from either South Africa or the US.”
Adesanya later confirmed to Saturday PUNCH that the company had indeed been paying him monthly.
“Yes, it is true that they have been paying my salary since the accident occurred. I get paid every two weeks because that’s how the company pays its staff,” he told our correspondent over the phone.
“I applied for the job with Dangote Cement as a divertor machine operator because I could not find something better. I had no means to go further in my education but I did not lose hope of going for higher education in the future,”Adesanya told our correspondent.
The Ijebu-Ode indigene was employed at the factory on February 10, 2012.
He told our correspondent that though he was employed as a casual worker at the factory, the authorities told those in his set they would soon be incorporated as full staff. This, he said, was why he accepted the N26,000 per month salary.
But barely one month into his employment, Adesanya would regret ever setting foot in the company.
He was on night duty on March 20, 2012. The young man went to work without an inkling of the calamity that was about to befall him, the calamity that turned his life upside-down. That day, he went to work, looking forward to a successful day at work.
“I was on night duty that day. Night duty starts at 6pm and ends at 7am the following morning.
“I was on the shift at the divertor machine. My responsibility was to see that finished cement bags pass through the conveyor belt unhindered. I was also responsible for sorting out any bags that gets caught in the machine and rearrange it for onward conveyance through the belt,” Adesanya said.
He had done this same job hundreds of times, he knew what he was doing, he explained. But that day, he would lose his arm to the same machine.
The young man claimed that he did not just lose his arm to the machine, he nearly lost his life because of the factory management’s negligence.

How they got me pregnant at Imo State baby factory - victim narrates
The Imo State police command rescued 17 pregnant teenagers from a baby making factory in the state this week. Below is an update on the story from The Nation..
Nine girls, forced into pregnancy at a ‘baby factory’ in Imo State ,yesterday spoke of how they became victims. The nine were arrested by the police yesterday after initially escaping during a raid of the ‘baby factory’.
Their arrest brings to 26 the number of victims rescued from Ahamefula Motherless Babies Home, Umuaka in Njaba Ciouncil Area of the state. They are aged between 14 and 25.
The visibly exhausted girls said that they were held against their wish by the proprietor of the so-called motherless babies home simply known as Madam One Thousand. The victims are all from Imo .
They said their parents were unaware of their whereabouts.
According to them, they were taken to the ‘baby factory’ by scouts engaged by Madam One Thousand.
The scouts include women who go about seeking vulnerable girls.
17-year old Adaobi Akubueze ,until her abduction a student in Lagos, said she referred to the centre by a medical doctor who conducted a pregnancy test on her.
She said:“The result of the test was positive and the doctor said I should not abort the pregnancy. He said he knew where I could go and have the child with adequate maternal care and where the baby would be taken care of until I would be ready to take charge.
“So I ran away from home without informing my parents. But on getting to the centre in Imo State, I was asked to produce my letter of introduction. After that, my phone was taken away from me and that was how I stayed there till the Police came and arrested us.”
She said of conditions in the centre: “We were kept in a crowded room with little ventilation and a doctor came once in a while to check us. Nobody was allowed to go beyond the first gate also known as the Green Gate. And one boy who we referred to as oga came around to sleep with the girls, especially those that were not yet pregnant.
“The compound was built in such a way that made escape impossible. It is fenced with high walls and no visitor was allowed to come into the area where the girls were kept, except Madam, Oyibo and the doctor.
“After nine months, those who were due to be delivered were taken to another location and Madam would only bring back news to us that our friend had given birth. But they never came back ”.
Another victim, Chinyere Onwuegbu, also 17, said she was living with her mother, a widow, until she ran away with one of her friends who convinced her that she could make a huge amount of money if she could be pregnant and sell the child after delivery.
Her words: “My friend brought me here and she told me to stay and get pregnant. Madam promised to take good care of me and that she would give me N60,000 if I had a baby boy and N30,000 if it was a girl.
“ But after I was impregnated, Madam began to force me to work hard despite my condition. I cried everyday but no way to escape”.
From outside, the ‘baby factory’ looks very much like a pure water production facility.
It sits on an expansive land and is walled round.
The main building has several rooms secured with iron doors.
A neighbour, who volunteered information on condition of anonymity, said: “All we saw were people coming to buy water but we began to express worry when we noticed flashy cars coming to the place at nights.”
Investigation also revealed that the owner of the ‘baby factory’ also runs a maternity home where the victims are taken to be delivered of their babies.
Oyibo, who was identified by the girls as the one who impregnated most of them, denied that he was paid to impregnate them.
He said: “I was employed to work in the pure water company, but I have slept with most of the girls but not to impregnate them as reported.”
Who is Madam One Thousand?
It was gathered that Madam One Thousand is no stranger to the police having been arrested by them at least twice before for a similar offence.
A source, who asked not to be named, said: “If the police are serious, they can arrest her; they know her identity. She has been in this trade for a long time. She even has medical doctors who work for her.
“Apart from that, since she also runs a registered maternity home, why can’t the police look in that direction and get her identity from the Ministry of Health that registered her clinic?”
Sources said she is at the head of a syndicate that also includes doctors.
The doctors refer victims to her and get paid accordingly.
Efforts to get the Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Katsina, and the Police Public Relations Officer, Joy Elemoko, to comment on what becomes of the girls were unsuccessful as they did not pick calls to their handsets.
However, a reliable police source said the girls would be handed over to the Ministry of Women Affairs after proper documentation for adequate medical attention as some of them are ill.

Massacre at Lafia: How many policemen were killed, 43, 70, 100?
The kind of madness going on in some parts of Nigeria is unbelievable. If you live abroad and hear some of these stories, you would be too scared to come back home. But thankfully this violence is not spread across Nigeria. I'm sure by now most of you have heard about the killing of many security operatives in Nassarawa State. For those who haven't heard, let me summarise it.
On Tuesday May 7th, Nassarawa State Commissioner of Police sent police officers, SSS and Civil Defense personnel to arrest the cult leader of a notorious militia group called 'Ombatse' (a cult group of the Eggon people of Nasarawa State) at Assakyo Village in Lafia, Nassarawa state. (Ombatse in Eggon language means “time has come”).
The state government wanted to arrest the chief priest because the group had been causing security concerns in the state. Unfortunately for the police officers sent to pick the man up, as they approached the Ombatse Shrine in a forest, members of the militia group who had laid ambush for them attacked and killed plenty of them. Many of the police officers were burnt beyond recognition.
The police command later said that only 17 out of the 90 police officers, minus SSS and NSCDC personnel, who went on the mission returned...and all with various degrees of wounds. Graphic photo when you continue...
Also, out of the 11 police patrol vans used to convey the mobile policemen for the operation, eight were burnt beyond recognition by the militia group.
The Nassarawa Commissioner of Police explains why they wanted to arrest the Ombatse cult leader:
"The militia group called Ombatse was going about in mosques and churches forcing all people of Eggon extraction in and out of Lafia to drink a particular concoction prepared from herbs and anyone who failed to comply was beaten up and harassed. It was agreed at the state security meeting that the Ombatse Shrine priest be arrested to stop such activities.”
Only a few Ombatse worshipers were killed in an operation that lasted almost 24 hours, while at least 60 security operatives were killed. Over 100 bodies, some of them burnt beyond recognition, were displayed at the Dalhatu Araf Specialist Hospital in Lafia for identifications by friends and relatives of the slain police men.
The incident even forced President Jonathan to call off his planned visit to Namibia on Thursday.
May the souls of the police officers rest in peace, amen.
