This informed the plan to open the new outlet. To usher-in this much anticipated outlet, there will be free gifts and free samples of coca-cola for customers in the first 3 days of opening.



Aside the strategic location and its easy accessibility, the outlet will also have a  parking space and a large children's play area with loads of toys for them to play with among other things, he concluded.



Away from the new outlet, in commemoration of the Easter celebration, Sweet Sensation will also pep-up its annual Easter festivity celebration with exciting activities to make it indeed sweet and fun for its customers.



Sweet Sensation is partnering with beverage giant Coca-Cola, in an Easter joint promo tagged SWEET FUN AT EASTER  by giving out loads of free gifts to its loyal customers. The joint promo commenced on Monday 14th and will terminate on Monday 27th April where customers will be rewarded for their loyalty. To qualify to win fantastic prizes during the promo, customers are to buy Sweet Sensation's JJC (Jamaican Jerk Chicken) and any coca-cola PET products in a single purchase and qualify for an instant raffle draw to win mouth-watering gifts.



There will also be bouncing castles and candies for children in all outlets during the Easter festivity to give them a feel of the celebration too.



The Executive Director went further to say that this year's Easter celebration will be unique in that Sweet Sensation will continue to show that the brand listens to its customers and goes to any length to satisfy as well as celebrate them.

"My annual salary is N2m' - Minister of State for Defence, Obanikoro

Posted: 21 Apr 2014 07:41 AM PDT

The Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, while speaking on Channels TV's Sunrise Daily programme today, said he earns only N2million a year
"My annual salary is N2million, everything put together plus my allowances is N4million" he said.
The Minister also addressed the issue of the inaccurate information the military passed out about rescuing 103 girls last Wednesday, April 16. He said the communication system up north has been adversely affected since the insurgence started and that there must have been a mixup somewhere along the communication line. The Minister said instead of the public condemning the military, they should commend them for apologizing and retracting the misguiding information.

Dear LIB readers: How can I make my wife and mother-in-law stop?

Posted: 21 Apr 2014 04:40 AM PDT

From a male LIB reader
I am 5 months old into marital life and it has been a smooth journey so far but there can never be a perfect relationship as we all know. What has been baffling me in this marriage so far is that whenever there is a misunderstanding between me and my wife, the next thing is to call her mum who then talks to me on the issue. Though she has never been biased in settling issues between us whenever there is an issue she is been involved with by her daughter.
The bottom line is that it is a situation I never liked and I have tried several times to put a halt into this but she never yielded to my concerns on involving her mum in our marital issues whenever there is a case to settle. Continue...
For an example, if I decide not to attend a church service on a Sunday maybe because I am tired for that matter, the next thing is for her to call her mum to report me that I've refused to attend a Sunday service. And before I know it, her mum is calling to ask why I have decided not to go church. Though she never authorized me forcefully to go to church on such occasion but do persuade me or even plead atimes.

If she has been calling my mum the way she calls her mum into our issues, maybe it would have been a different case entirely. There is nothing that happens in our marriage that her mum doesn't know about. And if there is an argument, she also threatens to call her mum immediately and it would be done unrepentantly.

I am sick and tired of these occurrences and I believe the way things are going, it could lead to a situation that might cause the unexpected. I love and care about my marriage but not with my mother in law involvement irrespective of her motherly role. I never involved my parents in our marital issues so I believe she should not involve hers too. What do you think I can do because I am loosing it already.

Seven more girls escape from Boko Haram captivity

Posted: 21 Apr 2014 03:19 AM PDT

Seven more girls out of the 100+ girls that were abducted from Government Girls Secondary School Chibok, Borno state on April 14th have escaped the Boko Harem den. According to the Borno State Governor, Kashim Settima who revealed this during his Easter message to the state, the girls escaped between Saturday night and Sunday evening and have reunited with their families. He said out of the 129 that were kidnapped, 52 have reunited with their families while 77 are yet to be found.
 
The Governor described the last one week as the most troubling of his tenure since he assumed office
"I have seen very serious moments since I became the Governor of Borno State in 2011 at a period of insurgent crisis. I have seen many innocent lives lost for no reason and I mourn every life lost with empathy and high sense of responsibility. But the last one week have been my worst days as a Governor and even the worst in my life. I am troubled as a father, as a leader and as a politician. So much is being done by rescue teams. There is very high commitment on the part of the Federal, State and Chibok local government authorities in working for the freedom of these innocent daughters of ours that are future leaders and mothers of future leaders" he said.

Parents kept daughter in cage for 3 years because she suffered from convulsion

Posted: 20 Apr 2014 05:56 PM PDT

Channels TV tells a story of how parents in Bayelsa state kept their 16 year old daughter in a cage for three years because she suffered from convulsion. Read full story below...
A regular visitor to the home of Mr Selekeowei Olokumo, in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, Nigeria's South-South region, would probably have noticed a small make shift building directly opposite his one bedroom apartment which could easily be mistaken for a generator cage.
To think it is a place where he stores his old and worn out property would not be out of place, as it was haphazardly built with wood and carton on what could be seen as a semi refuse dump site.
It was a feeling of shock when Channels Television realised that it was not for keeping his generator or other items but where his 16-year old daughter, Blessing Olokumo, had called home for almost three years.
Blessing is the 6th out of the 16 children of Mr and Mrs Olokumo; a twin who has no relationship with her twin sister, not because her twin sister was dead. she is simply ashamed of being associated with her.

She is not leprous, neither is she affected by any contagious disease. She is just a child who had convulsion when she was three years old and was not properly monitored by the medical doctors, so instead of outgrowing it as most children of her age would probably have done, she has since been battling with the condition.

One would expect her parents to be sympathetic to her plight and treat her with more care and attention, but the reverse has been the case, as Blessing is being treated with utmost disdain by those who are supposed to love her more.

She has been tagged the evil child, accused of being responsible for the death of her immediate siblings who were also twin girls. She has been abandoned by her parents in a cage for almost three years and left to God to decide her fate.

Luck smiled on Blessing when members of the Mary Slessor Twin Foundation, a foundation focused on the welfare of people of multiple birth heard of her plight and decided to intervene. She was rescued on January 25, 2014 in a very bad condition and has since been on admission at the Niger Delta Teaching Hospital, Okolobiri.

Blessing's father, a security guard at the Niger Delta Teaching Hospital, Okolobiri was asked how he could do such to his flesh and blood. He simply stated without remorse that he was tired of looking after the girl.

"Why I kept her in this house is that when she defecates and urinates, she soils the whole house when the mother and myself are not around. So there's nothing I can do again. I now isolated her from the apartment I'm living", he said.

While one may be tempted to call her dad wicked, heartless and much more, one wonders what words would be adequate to describe her mother, Mrs Bernice Olokumo, a petty trader, who accused her daughter of being responsible for the death of her younger siblings who were also twin girls.

On her relationship with her daughter, she simply said she was afraid of her and appeals to the Government and other people of goodwill to come take Blessing from them, as they were tired of fending for their own child.

To ascertain the present condition of Blessing, Channels Television paid her a visit at the hospital and met a transformed girl. Gone were the tiny frame, bony knee and sunken eyes. A cheerful, robust and well fed child was what she had become, after just three months of love and care.

On the way forward regarding her medical bills and her future, efforts to speak with the doctors proved futile, but the President of the Mary Slessor Twin Foundation, Mr Ebitei Roberts, spoke.
"What we are working on is that after now when she is discharged, we want to take her to maybe a motherless babies' home or any special school to rehabilitate her. With the way we are seeing things, if we take her back to the family, they will take her back to where she was and we don't want that to repeat itself because we have spent money."

The foundation has since lodged a formal complaint with the Police and the welfare department of the State Ministry of Women Affairs. The complaints list criminal charges of child abduction, inhuman treatment, child molestation and failure to enrol a child for proper education.

Helen Ukpabio deported from the UK

Posted: 20 Apr 2014 05:40 PM PDT

'Apostle' Helen Ukpabio, the founder of Liberty Foundation Gospel Ministries based in Calabar, has been deported from the UK by the British government after deeming her presence in the country a risk to youngsters. (Modupe Ariyo is the Executive Director of Africa Unite Against Child Abuse) 

The 'witch hunter' who wrote in her book 'Unveiling The Mysteries of Witchcraft', that "If a child under the age of two screams in the night, cries and is always feverish with deteriorating health he or she is a servant of Satan", was deported last week after campaigners called on UK Home Secretary to deport and ban her from the UK for leading the spread of witch hunting in Nigeria, especially amongst children, some of whom have suffered torture and even killed. (Read that here) 

Helen, who was in the UK on tour to promote her belief in witchcraft and offer help to those 'under threat' from the wizardry, was not only deported, there are also reports that she has been banned from entering the UK until further notice.
