driver fell with his vehicle in 3rd mainland brige exclaims "its a Miracle i didnt know how to swim"

Olusola Oladimeji, the driver of the Toyota Sienna that fell off the Third Mainland Bridge into the lagoon on Saturday, has described his escape as a miracle.
The father of three said contrary to reports by traffic and emergency officials, he was not on high speed when the incident occurred.
Oladimeji, who is a minister of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Church, said he was on his way home from work.
He said, “I work on the island and I left home for a meeting in the early hours of Saturday. After the monthly environmental sanitation, I started driving back home.
“I was driving at the speed of 60km/hr and was on the fast lane because the road was free. At Ebute Meta bypass, I saw two vehicles that had been involved in an accident but I kept on driving. Suddenly, everything went blank, I couldn’t see anything again, and I just found myself in the water.”
Oladimeji said he did not lose consciousness in the water and as such, was able to loosen the seat belt.
He said in the water, he saw a ray of light and swam towards it.
He said, “I was not on high speed. When the car hit the railing of the bridge, the airbag was not released.
“After falling into the water, I unfastened the seat belt and noticed that one of the doors of my car had broken off, so I swam out of the vehicle to the surface of the water even though I don’t know how to swim.
“It was while I was waving my hand that fishermen saw me and quickly came to my aid. They took me away from the scene and took me to a clinic located on the water where they administered the first aid.”
Oladimeji was later taken to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital where an X-ray scan was conducted on him.
“The doctors said that my leg was not fractured. They, however, cast my leg with Plaster of Paris because I had a sprain,” he said.

Widow Confesses: I’m Now a Prostitute Because of El-Rufai’s Abuja Demolition

This is indeed a sad insight into the life widow who’s now a commercial séx workers:

Living behind Mass Park in Zuba, a satellite town in Abuja is Blessing Udeh, an indigene of Imo State. She could easily be described as ‘your everyday type of woman’. There’s nothing in her gait or looks to suggest that she is in what many refer to as the oldest profession in the world.

Probably in her late 40’s, she’s a widow with three children who seemingly had a good life with her husband until fate played a cruel one on her by snatching him away.

Getting Udeh to talk took some effort as she fought severally to control her emotions.  She stated: “My husband died and left no money for the family. So, I had to fend for myself by joining the business (prostitution) to keep body and soul together.”
According to her, she had a fairly good life, as a full time housewife, with her husband who was solely in charge of the family’s upkeep until he died.
The widow disclosed that it the devastating effect of the demolition exercise carried out by the former FCT minister, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai that claimed the life of her husband.
“The building my husband built in Karmo was demolished by El-Rufai. This affected my husband so much that he couldn’t rise up financially again after that. It was the effect of the demolition that affected him and he died eventually. After his death, my children and I were thrown into abject poverty. There was no where we could start from and nobody or even relations were willing to help us. It got so bad that my children who had dropped out from school, and I were begging daily for sustenance.”
The mother of three, who claimed to have embraced prostitution recently when all else failed, disclosed that life too in the fast lane is not as rosy as she thought.
She said that she makes between N500 and N2,000 a night which is meagre compared to the amount they pay for lodgings at the brothel.
“We pay N5, 400 for accommodation weekly and I have not even gotten enough to pay this week’s rent,” she said as at the time of conducting this interview.

The widow, Blessing Udeh, is however appealling to the federal government, well-meaning and wealthy Nigerians to come to her aid.

facinating " The Invention of an Anti-Molestation Female Condom"

An anti-r*pe female condom using a different design was invented by Sonnet Ehlers, a South African woman.

Ehlers was motivated to create it while working as a blood technician with the South African Blood Transfusion Service, during which time she met many r*pe victims.
Ehler mentioned that she was inspired to create RAPEX (later renamed to r*pe-aXe) when a patient who had been defiled stated, “If only I had teeth down there,” suggesting the myth of the v**ina dentata. Initially called RapeX, the name was changed in 2006 upon discovering that RAPEX is also an EU warning system against dangerous goods on the market.
The r*pe-aXe is a latex sheath embedded with shafts of sharp, inward-facing barbs that would be worn by a woman in her v**ina like a female condom. If an attacker were to attempt vaginal r*pe, his man-hood would enter the latex sheath and be snagged by the barbs, causing the attacker excruciating pain during withdrawal and giving the victim time to escape. The condom would remain attached to the attacker’s body when he withdrew and could only be removed surgically, which would alert hospital staff and police.
Like most condoms, r*pe-aXe also usually prevents pregnancy and the transmission of HIV and sexually transmitted Infections. r*pe-aXe was unveiled on August 31, 2005 in South Africa. Although media coverage at the time implied that mass production was due to begin in April 2007, the device has never been marketed to the public and it remains unclear whether the product will ever be available for purchase.
Critics have accused her of developing a medieval device to fight r*pe. “Yes, my device may be a medieval, but it’s for a medieval deed that has been around for decades,” she said. “I believe something’s got to be done … and this will make some men rethink before they assault a woman.”

Heart breaking ‘I Caught My Husband Pants Down With A Neighbour’s Wife’

“He didn’t make love to me for eight months. After our wedding, I stayed for five years without an issue. Throughout  the period, life was unbearable for me. I developed  high blood pressure in the process but my husband  did  not feel concerned.”The above words were part of the testimony of a 39-year-old woman who  urged an Agege Grade ‘B’ Customary Court to dissolve her 11-year-old union over battery allegation and threat to life.
Mrs Oluwatosin Abiodun, a trader, of 5, Bemil Street, Ojodu, who is married to Olatunji Abiodun, an engineer, told the court that her husband treated her like a slave and made life unbearable for her.
“I lived in hell on earth.  I lived in fear, pains and anguish. I kept all these to myself because I didn’t want my home to break”, Oluwatosin said in her evidence-in-chief.
“The worst part of it was that my husband was dating a  neighbour’s wife and even brought her to my matrimonial home and I caught them pants down.
“My husband is now married and the other woman is right inside his house. While with him, he would beat me with iron rod. He pampered me when I  was delivered of a baby,  after that, he resumed his beating habits. I am tired of the marriage” she cried.
In urging the court to grant her request, Oluwatosin said, “I want the court to  end  the union and grant me custody of the children.” However, her 42-year-old husband,  did not appear in court.
Meanwhile, the court president, Mr Emmanuel Shokunle, adjourned the case till Feb. 19 for judgment.
