Police found Lee Kaplan, 51, was found living with 12 women and girls who were all related in Pennsylvania last year. Six of them were the daughters of Amish couple Daniel and Savilla Stoltzfus. Prosecutors say the girls were “gifted” by the parents to Kaplan after he provided the family with financial help. Kaplan repeatedly raped and sexually assaulted them and the oldest victim, aged 18, bore two of his children, also girls. Eventually Daniel Stoltzfus also “gifted” his wife Savilla to Kaplan “in hopes of strengthening the Stoltzfus bloodlines.” The Stoltzfus’ were also arrested and admitted child endangerment. They confessed that they knew Kaplan was having sex with their 14-year-old daughter and even “researched the legality of the deal on the internet”, police said. Kaplan denied 17 charges including child rape, sexual ass...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J The National Forum for Democrats has described the silence of the Nigerian Airforce over the recent report of its unholy romance with some politicians as un-golden. Reports emerged recently that following their failed plan to use the Nigerian Army  to oust the current government, some politicians have now resorted to plan B. The report alleged that some politicians have reportedly bought willing Air Force officers to use attack aircrafts in attacking other services of the military. 72 hours after the report hit the media, authorities of the NAF are yet to debunk or affirm the hearsay. Speaking at a press briefing on Monday, however, the National President of the group, Alhaji Gambo Danbatta said this statement became imperative following the failure of the NAF authority to react to the hearsay after almost 72 hours. Danbatta said silence may just as well mean acquiescence as an allegation of this magnitude is scarcely what one would ignore without se...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J By Clement Udegbe IN the early 1980s, when I had just completed my National Service as a youth corper, Lagos was the destination for most young persons, and graduates. In those good old days, a corper was the love and admiration of all. We in the 1980 set, had free bus rides, free accommodation under Alhaji Lateef Jakande- One governor who ruled Lagos for over four years, without travelling overseas. There was nothing like robbery and I remember from Ojuelegba to Ajegunle, a corper could move freely round the clock, and still enjoyed free rides if in the uniform. It was the days of the Unity Party of Nigeria, UPN, and National Party of Nigeria, NPN, in Lagos. Corps members in those days were happy as politicians remained politicians; while corps members remained hope filled, enthusiastic and proud Nigerian youth, loved by most Lagosians. Today, the Military and the Police personnel have displaced the youth corper in the enjoyment of free rides on Lagos buses. C...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J By Ikeogu Oke D URING his appearance on April 29, 2017, at The Platform – a forum organised by the Covenant Christian Centre, Lagos – where he spoke on the topic “The Nigerian Economy” – Mr. Peter Obi, a former Governor of Anambra State, made a claim that, expectedly, became a focus of unusual public interest. The claim, voiced while tapping at his wristwatch during a question and answer session that followed his speech proper, is: “This is the only watch I have; I have owned it for seventeen years.” It was the second edition of The Platform and Obi’s second invitation to speak at the forum, apparently an indication that the organisers were quite impressed with his first outing. The compere actually reinforced this impression by making reference to “his widely shared presentation at the last platform” while introducing him to the audience, hinting that the road of The Platform had been so good for the speaker, his audience and the organisers as to warrant thei...
