She’s using our son as a bargaining chip

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J DearBunmi, About three years ago, against my better judgment, I went out with this girl who was tagged an ‘easy lay’ by the boys. All I wanted was a bite at the cherry like everybody was having, but she later told me she was pregnant. I denied the pregnancy outright but gave her money to have an abortion. Unknown to me, she did no such thing and with my mum’s connivance, she had a baby boy. As luck would have it, the boy looked so much like me that I fell in love with him.

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J …As APC slams gov for immortalising Adebayo with Fayemi’s legacy By Rotimi Ojomoyela A do Ekiti —Governor Ayodele Fayose has challenged his predecessor in office, Dr Kayode Fayemi to tell Ekiti people what he has done with his position as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the last one and half years. Fayose said his predecessor, as the Minister of Mines and Steal Development was holding the ministerial position in trust for the people of the state, querying that Fayemi had allegedly failed to use the position to influence Ekiti positively. Fayose wondered why Fayemi, who has been busy touring sites of minerals deposit in other states has refused to help tap the huge mineral potentials of the state. He also dropped a bomb shell that critical stakeholders loyal to Alhaji Ahmed Makarfi’s group in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will defect to another party, if Senator Ali Modu Sheriff wins the appeal pending at the Supreme Court.
