My amebo is too much, I know! Lol

Dear Men, how come you can give it, but can't take it?

You men cheat. A lot of you. Very easily. Without considering the feelings of your partners. And most times without any reason other than the fact that 'You can!'

So why is it that when the table is turned around, y'all can't take it? When a woman cheats on you, it's like the world has ended. Most of the time you guys end the relationship. Some sick ones have resorted to brutally killing their cheating partners. Some use magun...while this ode man pictured above paraded his wife naked because she allegedly cheated on him. And the woman allowed herself to be humiliated in such a manner.

If it hurts so much to be cheated on, why don't y'all think about the pain you will be causing the woman in your life when next you're tempted to cheat? Obo is obo, so why the jagba jagba?

Ex-militants invade Igbinedion University this morning

I've been getting quite a number of SOS messages all morning from female students of the Igbinedion University, Okada, Benin City. According to them, ex-militants invaded their school by 5am this morning (they are still there at the time of filing this report). The are destroying cars and macheting people. Several of the male students have been injured. They've also blocked the main gate of the school so no one can come in or go out!

There's a lot of chaos going on in the school right now and the students are scared to the death as the militants have gained access into one of the girls hostel.

Please we are calling on relevant authorities to go to the school right now and help these students. Will tell you all later why the school was invaded. Right now let's try and help these students. Call anyone you know that can be of help...

Update: The school is now calm. No life was lost but several students were injured. New reports suggest it was a clash between students and ex-militants who are also students of the school.
