Pastor Accused Of Rape, Abortion Of 13 Teenagers Says, ‘I’ll Marry All The Girls’

Posted on by

THE General Overseer of Tongue of Fire Restoration, Chukwuma Nwkocha, who was accused of abduction, defilement and illegal termination of pregnancies for about 13 teenagers has defended himself.

The 34-year-old indigene of Imo State said he was only aware he slept with one of the girls, Kingdom, adding that he promised to marry the 17-year-old girl. He also said he might marry all the girls if that would bring about peace.

The pastor stated that the parents of the girl and some of his parishioners were aware of his relationship with the her. “I only slept with Kingdom and I have the intention of marrying her. I know she is much younger, but I have seen in the country that a 15-year- old girl got married to a grown up man and it was not a problem. Her parents were aware of our relationship but they are not aware that we were having sex.
According to him, “one Pastor Stephen carried out abortion for Kingdom, and told her that he was not in support. Stephen also said he asked Nwkocha if he slept with the other girls and if he was aware that about six of the girls were pregnant.

Responding, the Pastor said, “I didn’t not sleep with them, I only gave them shelter in my church. I was trying to be a good pastor. When I come to church, these girls would say that they wanted to come and spend weekend at my house. I kept on dodging them, but one day I was placed in a tight corner, when one of the girl’s mother came to me and said that they had accommodation problem.

“I could not have turned down her plea, but she persisted that her daughter could be with me, so I helped out and it turned out like that for everybody. I couldn’t help one and leave the other. I also trained them in school”, he stated.

He also argued that the girls were not found in his house, but in the church, which was where they stayed.

5 Signs He Is Never Going To Marry You

Posted on by
9

1. Discussions about marriage are avoided

If discussions about making your relationship more permanent are shut down before you can even get started, this is a red flag. A partner who just wants to have a casual relationship will not want to discuss the possibility of getting married or even talk about other people’s upcoming nuptials.

“If [your partner] won’t talk about sharing a future with you, the only thing you can conclude is that you are in a relationship without a long-term commitment. Whether [your significant other] loves you or not is a different kind of question. Love does not always lead to commitment, so an important thing for you to consider is how you feel about being in a just-for-right-now relationship and how long you wish to stay there,” said psychotherapist Lisa C. DeLuca.

2. You’re not in the future

If your partner talks about the future but you’re never mentioned in his or her plans, there’s a problem. Someone who is excited about your relationship and desires to spend a lifetime with you will make these intentions clear. Vague or nonexistent references to a future together are not a good sign if you have hopes of getting hitched. Relationship expert Evan Marc Katz says waiting too long for a commitment is just wasting time. There comes a point where you need to make a decision to stay or call it quits:

The only leverage you have is to walk away from [from your partner] and see if [he or she] follows. Sure, you can wait for another year. Sure, you can move in together…But this doesn’t give you what you’re looking for. This is just moving deck chairs around the Titanic, spinning wheels, making noise. These are just things that you might do to avoid breaking up, but they don’t ensure that you’ll be together forever.

3. Your partner runs hot and cold

If things are hot and spicy one minute and then ice cold the next, your partner could be playing games with you. If you never know quite where you stand when it comes to a long-term commitment, your significant other could be buying time or just having fun until someone else enters the picture.

 “Some [partners] lie about what they really feel for you and what their real plans are. They can break up with you at any given time, going from hot to cold in an instant. [They’ll] take you on an emotional rollercoaster ride and will make your love life a living hell,” said relationship expert Brian Nox.

4. You want different things

Do you want children but your partner doesn’t? Are you dead set on monogamy but your partner prefers polyamory? This is a big indicator that you are not going to be walking down the aisle any time soon. Your best bet is to find someone who is compatible and has goals that more closely align with yours.

5. Your partner tells you

The most obvious sign? Your partner tells you that marriage just isn’t in the cards. No matter what you do or say, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to change this decision. If you’re satisfied with dating indefinitely, then just accept it. However, if you know you’d like to settle down, this is your cue to move on.

NYSC DG Urges Corps Members To Marry Each Other

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has urged corps members from different tribes to intermarry, as an avenue of boosting national integration.

The Director General of the Corps, Brigadier General Suleiman Kazaure, gave the urge when he visited the 2016 Batch A (Stream II) corps members undergoing their orientation programme.

He noted that the essence of the scheme is to ensure national integration, which would bring the desired unity which the country earnestly desires.

“I wish to see you to intermarry within the orientation period to enhance national integration, as this would be achieved through adequate bonding in the camp.

The DG remarked that Nigeria needs unity and development, as the outlined camp activities such as military drills, skills acquisition and sporting activities would prepare the Corps members for life within and after the service year.

“The Ramadan did not stop us from coming to the camp as I received lots of text messages inquiring about the possibility of organizing the camp with the approach of the period.”

 He noted that he insisted that the orientation programme would be organized and by God’s grace it went on and the Corps members would soon leave the camp.

“Corps members would not be posted to Ishiellu Local Government Area where the Ezza–Ezillo communal war took place until we get assurances of adequate security in the area.

Kazaure also advised the corps members to be security conscious and ensure that they go out in the company of friends and colleagues instead of going out alone.

“You should also pay special attention to skill acquisition while in the camp and the entire service year, to enable them be self reliant and not rely on white collar jobs.

The Ebonyi State Coordinator of the Scheme, Mrs Gladys Mbachi, told the DG that 1, 932 Corps members were undergoing the programme with 1, 346 males and 586 females.

“The corps members have been behaving well since they arrived in the camp, though we presently have some health challenges.

She noted that one of the corps members has a mental problem while three others have asthmatic cases, but all have been referred to the hospital for adequate medical attention.

What Makes a Man Realize “This Is the Person I Want to Marry”

Posted on by

Not all guys love sports, but when it comes to marriage, many of us unknowingly approach it with a sports mentality. If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the years — either from our jock days or watching too many movies that end with the winning punch, jump shot, or touchdown— it’s that we need the support of a team to really succeed. And marriage is the ultimate team.

It may sound trite to put it this way, but isn’t the person you marry essentially your best possible teammate? I suppose it’s unfair for me to speak for all men, but going off of the guys I know, I can say with confidence that most of us really do understand that sex alone isn’t going to be the foundation of a lasting relationship. (Although it’s pretty great.) We understand that there needs to be other layers— and we want those layers. I’d even venture to say that more than a romance, we want to meet a person who can intuit what we’re thinking, who can anticipate our moves (both good and bad), who supports us, shares our goals, and can help us achieve them. Don’t women want the same thing? In the end, we are all looking for “our person”— or, if we’re going with my admittedly-predictable sports analogy, “our teammate.”

We want to feel like you get us, we get you, and we can do more together than either of us could alone. It’s a realization that for some guys hits instantly, and for others develops over time— maybe even years. Regardless of how long it takes, though, it has to be there. And when it is, that’s the woman a guy imagines spending the rest of his life with.

Now for a crucial point: The teammate connection can’t be forced. You both have to truly want the same things in life, and you both have to work well together on a daily basis. In terms of realizing all of this, it really can “click” in a single moment — sometimes small, sometimes big — where a woman says or does something that makes us realize, She totally understands me. It’s in that ever-important blip of time that the curtains part and we know for certain that this is right, and we are ready. Then the question becomes: Is she? (And we pray the answer is yes.)

I’m pretty sure that aha moment happens on both sides of the relationship equation. Have you experienced it? It’s just one of those unexplainable, beautiful things that happens when two people just work together. This means there’s no overanalyzing whether or not to call each other, no group texts with friends to analyze every detail of a date, no stressing about what the other person is doing when you’re not there (just excitement about when you’ll be together next). It all comes down to pure instinct. Which is nice, I think. I, for one, like knowing that there’s still some unexplainable magic left in the world, especially where love is concerned.

The Kind Of Man You Should Marry

Posted on by
1

1. He makes you feel relaxed.
You don’t have to be “on” around him. You’re able to just be yourself. You’re comfortable crying in front of him, yelling in front him, and even having quiet moments. He’s seen the good, the bad, the hungover… and he still loves you.

2. He makes you happy.
He makes you smile more than you frown. When you’re with him, you’re really, really happy. He treats you like a queen and does everything he can to make you happy.

3. You’re attracted to him.
You find yourself beyond attracted to him. Sometimes you look at him and you think, “Daaaaamn.” He may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but to you, he’s a god.

4. He’s loyal.
Your future husband should be loyal and 400 percent committed to you. He should only have eyes for you. You never have to worry about him being unfaithful, because he’s all yours.

5. He’s a good listener.
The man you marry should listen to you, and I mean really listen. He should pay attention to what you say. He lets you vent, regardless of the subject. A man who truly loves you cares about what you have to say.

6. He’s thoughtful and romantic.
A man who is thoughtful is a keeper. He should show you he’s considerate by doing things just to put a smile on your face. He knows it’s the little things that count. He does anything he can to make you feel special.

7. He’s sweet.
He’s kind and loving because he cares about you and your feelings. He’s affectionate because he can’t help himself. He’s sweet to you in private, and of course, in public, too. He can’t wait to kiss you each and every morning and night.

8. He appreciates you.
He tells you out of the blue that you look beautiful. He raves to his friends about you because he knows you’re special. He knows he’s lucky to have you in his life, and he never lets you forget it.

9. He fits into your life.
He spends time with your family and you’ve gotten to know his. He makes an effort to be present in your life and engages the people you love. He cares about your friends and wants them to like him. He fits into your life perfectly.

10. He’s willing to do anything for you.
He makes sacrifices for you because he knows it will make you happy. He plans things he knows you will enjoy. He’s willing to do anything for you, because he loves you.

The man you marry should make you feel grateful and oh so blessed.

Man Saves Coins For 20Years To Marry Childhood Sweetheart

Posted on by

A Chinese man has kept his promise of marrying his childhood sweetheart after saving coins for nearly 20 years to have enough money to buy a diamond ring.

“I will save money from now on until marrying you when I grow up.” This was what nine-year-old Liangliang (pseudonym) said to his childhood sweetheart in 1996.

From that day on, the Fuyang city native began saving from the pocket money that his parents gave him. Initially, the savings were all in the form of coins. As a symbol of his commitment to his love, he continued to maintain that and kept the savings in coins.

With loads of coins weighing over 150 kilograms and valued over 10,000 yuan (1,609 US dollars), Liangliang finally bought a diamond ring on Tuesday to propose to his beloved, according to China Foto Press report on Thursday.

“Do you still remember what I said 20 years ago? Now I have saved enough to buy a ring. Will you marry me?” he said, moving his ladylove to tears.

In the 20 years through which Liangliang had been saving up, the two sustained their friendship despite being in different cities. In fact, they met only on a few occasions each year when she traveled back to Fuyang for family gatherings.

And it was when she finally decided to return and settle down back in her hometown that Liangliang finally managed to pop the question.

God Says You Can Marry Your Dog If It Makes You Happy, Democrat Congressman Argues

Posted on by

Democrat Whip Steny Hoyer who argued that that same-sex couples are endowed by “their Creator — by God” with the right to marry.

Once again, a Democrat has brought God into the debate when for decades Democrats have argued that religion and politics do not mix and there’s a separation between church and state. Apparently these prohibitions only apply to arguments made by conservative Christians.

Stoyer went on to say:

“‘Our Declaration of Independence, as all of us quote so often, says: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men’—of course, if Jefferson were writing today, it would be either all people or all humankind—‘are created equal, that they are endowed by’—not a Congress, not by a Constitution, not by a will of the majority—‘their Creator’—by God—‘with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.’”

On this point Steny Hoyer is absolutely right. I and others have been making this same argument for decades.

Now that Rep. Hoyer has brought God into the debate, on what basis does the congressman believe God would approve of same-sex marriage? God certainly didn’t design “humankind” in such a way that would lead anybody to believe that same-sex sexuality is biologically possible.

How does Hoyer know God would approve of same-sex marriage? There’s nothing in the Bible that supports same-sex sexuality. So on what is he basing his happiness morality?
