''Still I stand'' By Sharon Ojong

One day I will tell my success story and I will tell it ALL – the beginning, the pains, the tears, the struggle, the survival and the success, no matter what embarrassment it brings to me

Sitting in front of my computer, I’m counting the number of times, love has failed me, people have disappointed me and failed my trust for them, how many friends I have lost from meaningless fights and hurtful words, family squabbles and very tough times, the unaccountable times tears have dropped from my eyes in public and many times on my bed alone with my pillow soaked, the one break up that took me almost 3 years to give love a try again and how many times I had thought life would have been if my parents were still together. Yet I am still standing. I am a very strong, resilient, independent and courageous woman. I don’t mean to blow my own horn but it is how I was taught about life and what I learnt to be growing up with my father and brothers as my mum wasn’t around(separated from dad when I was and my only sister always away in boarding school and university. But my greatest pain and weakness has to be my impatience, my kind and open heart which is always mistaken for stupidity and has landed me in trouble on numerous occasions yet I find strength in the fall to stand up again.

Was it the time I caught my boyfriend cheating? My friend and I put up a dramatic scene, drove off and then we had a ghastly accident that almost cost us our lives, yet I still went back to that same man. Or the day my brother called to tell me my father had stroke? I thought the world had ended; all I did was fall on my knees and tell God it is either him or me and months later he’s keeping us both in good health and I find that prayer selfish. Or was it recently my cousin kicked me out of his apartment knowing I had nowhere else in Lagos to go and I thought of moving back to Calabar to start all over again?

Still I stand!

Professor orders student to masturbate 3 times to get passing grades “in class”

A professor at Western Nevada College supposedly required his students to masturbate, keep a diary of sex and write a paper detailing their sexual histories in order to receive a passing grade, according to a federal lawsuit obtained by the news media.

Karen Royce, a student enrolled in the class, filed in U.S. District Court Nevada Monday against the teacher, Tom Kubistant, apparently the complaints are that the class work invaded privacy and amounted to sexual harassment.
“I raised my hand and said,” I do not masturbate, “said Royce. “He said I had to masturbate at least three times in order to obtain a degree in the class.”
On the first day of class, Kubistant allegedly told the students that he would “increase their sex drive so high that they will not be able to think of nothing but sex.”
Kubistant then allegedly asked students, some of whom were high school students taking the course for college credit, for a list of different types of sex and sexual positions they already did, according to the news media.
The complaint alleges that the teacher read aloud to the class the lists and then asked students to write three 250 word stories in a journal about their sexual thoughts.
Kubistant also reportedly assigned a term paper of 14 pages that requires students to explore the details of sexual abuse – including rape – the loss of virginity, deceit, fetishes and orgasms, among others, the news media reported.

Photos Of The 40 Bodies Dumped In Anambra River

Residents of Amansea in Awka, Anambra State woke up on Saturday January 19th to a horrifying sight; 40 dead bodies floating in a River in their community. People from the community and some neighbouring ones besieged the Ezu river yesterday to catch a glimpse of the dead bodies. The river is at the boundary between Enugu and Anambra states and the dead bodies were found at the old Enugu-Onitsha road axis of the river.

The corpses whose identities were unknown, were suspected to have been dumped in the river Friday night by unknown persons.

The traditional ruler of Amansea said the community had never witnessed such a gory sight before, while the Commissioner of Police in the state said the dead bodies remained a mystery as there had been no communal clash in Enugu or Anambra where many people were killed. He said investigations are ongoing...

The State Governor Peter Obi has cut short his trip abroad and is expected back today.
