Must Read! I Miss My Father's S3x
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
I didn't cry. It was painful what he did, but I didn't cry. He said it was okay.
I didn't cry the second time either. I liked it. He was gentler. He told me it was our secret, our special thing, and no one should know about it.
I went to him the third time it happened, it was raining and the thunders scared me. We did it again, I enjoyed it. We began to do it more often, and each time I enjoyed it more.
I was twelve that first time, and a happy child, happier than any other child I knew. I doubt if any other child had so much love. I was my father's lover and he was mine. Everything was perfect.
And then, on my twentieth birthday, the unthinkable happened.
My father broke up with me. Just like that. He said it wasn't right, what we do, and that we must stop. End of matter. It felt like a full stop at the end of an epitaph. It was too sudden.
I had no warning, no premonition. The break up was like death. I had taken the week off from school just to be with the only man in my life, the best man I ever knew, or so I thought. I thought my birthday would have ended sensually, like all the others. It was usually the best birthday present he gave me, a passionate night of love making right out of a romance novel.
It had been a while. My higher education had taken me away. And I sorely missed my beloved father. I went home that day with thoughts of my father obscuring all other thoughts. I arrived late in the evening. He wasn't home yet. I made myself as adorable as he liked. It was not hard. My allure had never needed much artificial furnishings; a touch here and a touch there, and I would be set to win any beauty contest. That evening I was at my best.
All my preparations and quivering anticipation was to have ended in bliss, the kind only my father could give me.
Instead, I got the shock of my life. That terrible day, I knew exactly how the Deer must feel when the hunter's bullet crashes through its heart. I learnt how it must feel to be shot out of the sky.
I had hoped he didn't mean it, that this was just another punishment, but the way he said it convinced me it was final. I knew my father; I knew the look on his face. It was the same look he had when he shot Dragon our Alsatian. This was not like before when he would refuse to touch me because I misbehaved. My father had never hit me or scolded me; his punishments were usually more severe and silent. He would simply refuse to touch me for days on end. Such days were hell for me. I could barely survive without him. When he was pleased with me, he really would take his time and give me much pleasure that I never knew was possible.
I was a very well behaved child; I had all the proper manners for a proper lady. Thanks to my father.
But this was no punishment. This was a cessation. This was my death. I tried to make him see reason, to convince him that we were to be forever. I told him of our joys, our laughs and how love couldn't be any better. I begged him not to kill his beloved and only child.
The man was like a stone.
It is true what they say. Men are beasts; unfeeling beasts.
How could he end something so wonderful, something so perfect? He said he still loved me, but I didn't believe him, I couldn't believe that. He couldn't even look me in the eye when he said it. There must have been a reason, but I didn't care for whatever it was. I knew it wasn't about right or wrong, there is no love that can be wrong, especially the kind we had. It was beautiful; we were one, my father and I. Our love transcended that of a father and his daughter. It was the stuff of heaven. No, His reason wasn't religious, not at all, my father wasn't that sentimental. I was his sole religion, he worshiped me.
There was no one else either, I knew that much. My mother died while birthing me. Ever since, I had been my father's heartbeat. And he was my breath. I never missed my mother. I never knew her, never would meet her. I would, perhaps, have liked to know her, but somehow I thank God she wasn't with us. It would have been awkward. I don't think I could have shared my father with any one.
My father gave no reason for killing me. He couldn't explain why we could no longer have what we had. There was nothing I didn't think, there was no thought I didn't wish to explain his decision by. Something, perhaps, must have happened to his hormones. I couldn't believe this was my perfect father. I couldn't believe my day could ever become so dark.
He only said he was doing it for me, that it was for the best, my best. How could I have ever believed the man loved me? He even looked sad that day, so sorrowful and tired. In better times and in our previous world, I would have taken him in my arms as I was wont, and work my magic on him. Over the years I had learnt his special recipe. I was the only one who knew his mix. I had never asked him, but I sensed that even my mother didn't take him to the heights I took him.
But his words belied the sorrow on his features. He had said the break up words so casually, so matter-of-factly, as if he had thought it through and found it a simple matter. There should be a special kind of voice and words for pronouncements of that nature, something equal and suitably terrible. The normalcy and casualness of his words were a negation. It was like mockery. I didn't know I could ever stop being what I was to him; I had never thought our relationship would end. But end it did, and in so shocking a manner. Good things shouldn't end that abruptly. Relationships don't die at once. Death is not a casual occurrence.
The most painful part of it was that I didn't die. I felt like dying. I wanted to die. But I didn't know how to go about it. I should have killed him too; I should have hurt him too. He looked like he was hurting, but I should have made sure. It is too painful to feel the pain of death and yet be alive. There is no pain worse than the pain of death.
And then, the man wanted us to be Father and Daughter, just father and daughter. I couldn't understand why he would want to reduce our love to something merely biological and normal. Why on earth couldn't he see that I could never be happy as just his daughter, and that I could never be remotely happy with any other arrangement? We were happy, I made him happy. Why do some people reject their own happiness?
For a long time I had believed my father loved me. On my twentieth birthday, I knew the truth. That day was my awakening to the heartlessness of men, and the absurdity of love. That day, I grew up, I grew old and I died.
It was the last day I spoke or saw my father. He killed me, so I made sure I remained dead to him. I became a living dead, dead inside and alive only in looks.
As I left him that evening, I looked back a lot of times. He didn't recant, he didn't rethink. He watched me leave. The tears were streaming from both our eyelids. I could feel his sorrow; it was thick enough to touch. The feeling was apt; death had occurred.
The man came for me twice, later. But he came as a father coming for his daughter. He should have come for me as a soul for its soul mate, like breath for air, like the dying for life. That was what we were; romance and its love.
He came, just that twice. I waited for him too, but he never came again. I gave up.
I made a new resolve. Men would learn from me, the very hard way. I have what they want. My beauty is the glaring kind that everybody agrees with. But my heart would be a different matter. I knew most men wouldn't resist me; they can't be as tough as my father, my looks were not enough for that man to change his mind and do the right thing, the best thing.
It wasn't easy. It took a while before I could stand the touch of any other man, but vengeance helped me detach my body from myself.
I would forever be grateful for my looks; it was my ultimate shield. It helped me survive and helped my resolve. I set off on a mission, to hurt as I had been hurt. I soon became very successful. I brought both boys and men to their knees. I killed them and still left them alive. I remember the families that fought themselves over me, the brothers that would never forgive each other, the scandalized churches and governments, the suicides, the bankruptcies. There is a lot a body can do when it is rightly motivated.
My father didn't know what he unleashed.
Payback is a beautiful side of nature. There is no payback as sweet and profound as when it's total and final, like death. No man recovered that encountered me.
But vengeance was not so much fun. I didn't feel any lasting relief. Hurting men didn't make me feel much better; it was a constant reminder to my own heartbreak. But I couldn't stop. Sometimes I wondered what the whole point was. I could never lose the pangs I had for my father's touch. Payback did not completely fill the chasm that my father dug in me. I doubt if anything ever would.
I would have easily given everything up for things to get back to what it was.
I lived like someone on a mission, and I wanted to be free from the service, but I just couldn't. In moments of weakness, I would always think about what my father and I had. Thinking about our perfect love brought me tears and gave me joy. At such moments, I would really try to feel and have fun, I would let my guard down to see if I would be alive again. It was no use. No other man was like my father. No one even came close. No one was able to get me right, something was always missing. With my dad it was perfect, he knew just what I wanted, and how. No two people were ever in sync as my father and I was. No other man could bring me alive.
The last time I had pleasure was with my father.
These many years have passed, since I lost my beloved father. And more recently the world lost him too. I just left his grave side. I have never been able to understand why I keep visiting his grave, despite the distance, despite all. And each time, I always leave with an exhausting longing, a fiery desire, and an intense craving.
I would do anything, anything, just to have s3x with my father again.
I didn't cry the second time either. I liked it. He was gentler. He told me it was our secret, our special thing, and no one should know about it.

Drama At Council Of State Meeting...Lamido Vs Amaechi, Babangida Vs Wamako/Amaechi, Jang Vs Amaechi
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
The Council Chambers of the Aso Rock Presidential Villa Abuja, the venue of yesterday's Council of State meeting was momentarily turned into a theatre hall before President Goodluck Jonathan's arrival.
For Governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa State, the Council of State meeting provided an opportunity to tease his Rivers counterpart, Rotimi Amaechi.
On sighting Amaechi at the venue of the meeting, Lamido jocularly quizzed: "Ah! Amaechi, what are you doing here?"
The Rivers State governor responded with a loud burst of laughter and said "You".
Amaechi is the Director-General of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Organisation; while Lamido is the leader of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council for North-west.
The two governors recently held a closed door meeting; a development that has left political observers guessing.
For Niger State Governor Muazu Babangida Aliyu, it was not necessary to shake hands with
Governors Amaechi and Aliyu Wamako (Sokoto) at the Council of State meeting. Instead, Aliyu bypassed the duo to exchange pleasantries with former Chief Justices of Nigeria, Justices Alfa Belgore and Dahiru Mustapha.
The chairman of the PDP Governors' Forum and Akwa Ibom State Governor Godswill Akpabio
appeared jolted as he watched the two factional chairmen of the Nigerian Governors' Forum (NGF), Amaechi and Jonah Jang shaking hands.
Since 2013, Amaechi and Jang have been laying claim to the chairmanship of the Nigerian Governors' Forum.
The Council of State meeting, which commenced at 11.30am went on for several hours and failed to approve the purported election postponement which has continued to raise eyebrow in the country and in the international community.

Aregbesola, Omisore Knows Fate Today As Tribunal Delivers Judgment
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
The Election Petitions Tribunal hearing matters arising from the Osun State governorship election held on August 9, 2014 is set to deliver its final judgment today (Friday).
The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Iyiola Omisore, who came second during the election with 292,747 votes, had dragged Governor Rauf Aregbesola of the All Progressives Congress who won the poll with 394,284 votes to the tribunal.
The judgment is expected with some measure of anxiety just as the police have embarked on a show of strength in Osogbo.
Our correspondent sighted about 10 police vans loaded with armed anti-riot policemen patrolling the streets of Osogbo on Thursday in readiness for the verdict.
The Department of State Service has also warned residents of the state against engaging in any act of violence before and after the verdict.
The Director of the DSS in Osun State, Mr. Andrew Iorkya, gave the warning in a telephone interview with our correspondent.
He said that operatives of the agency had identified some hotbed of violence which would be properly manned to ensure that there would not be no breakdown of law and order.
He said, "We are prepared for tomorrow's judgement. We have identified some places and we are going to man such places; the NSCDC operatives, policemen and the soldiers will be on standby.
"We have heard some disturbing news from Ife but we want to warn troublemakers to leave the state. We won't allow anybody to disturb the peace of the state."
The Justice Elizabeth Ikpejime-led tribunal had not been accused of bias from any of the parties involved in the case and one of the counsel for the petitioner, Mr. Nathaniel Oke (SAN), while closing the petitioner's case, hailed the wisdom of the members of the panel who he said had remained 'clean' before all the parties.
The Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy of the All Peoples Party in Osun State, Mr. Kunle Oyatomi, when contacted by our correspondent on the telephone, said that Aregbesola and the APC were not afraid because the petitioner at the close of the proceedings could not prove his case.
He said, "The two parties before the tribunal have made their case. I can tell you that the winner will remain the winner. The records are before the tribunal; as of the time of closing the case, Omisore could not prove his petition.
"He called 43 discredited witnesses out of 1,000 he first listed. He reduced their number to 500 and eventually the 43 witnesses he called, including the expert witnesses, admitted that their reports were full of errors."
However, the media aide of the Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate, Mr. Victor Oriola, said that Omisore was confident in the tribunal, adding that that was the reason he approached the tribunal after the poll.
He said, "We are confident that we will be vindicated. Otunba Omisore approached the tribunal after the election because we have a good case. We have proved that the election was rigged."

He said that operatives of the agency had identified some hotbed of violence which would be properly manned to ensure that there would not be no breakdown of law and order.
He said, "We are prepared for tomorrow's judgement. We have identified some places and we are going to man such places; the NSCDC operatives, policemen and the soldiers will be on standby.
"We have heard some disturbing news from Ife but we want to warn troublemakers to leave the state. We won't allow anybody to disturb the peace of the state."
The Justice Elizabeth Ikpejime-led tribunal had not been accused of bias from any of the parties involved in the case and one of the counsel for the petitioner, Mr. Nathaniel Oke (SAN), while closing the petitioner's case, hailed the wisdom of the members of the panel who he said had remained 'clean' before all the parties.
The Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy of the All Peoples Party in Osun State, Mr. Kunle Oyatomi, when contacted by our correspondent on the telephone, said that Aregbesola and the APC were not afraid because the petitioner at the close of the proceedings could not prove his case.
He said, "The two parties before the tribunal have made their case. I can tell you that the winner will remain the winner. The records are before the tribunal; as of the time of closing the case, Omisore could not prove his petition.
"He called 43 discredited witnesses out of 1,000 he first listed. He reduced their number to 500 and eventually the 43 witnesses he called, including the expert witnesses, admitted that their reports were full of errors."
However, the media aide of the Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate, Mr. Victor Oriola, said that Omisore was confident in the tribunal, adding that that was the reason he approached the tribunal after the poll.
He said, "We are confident that we will be vindicated. Otunba Omisore approached the tribunal after the election because we have a good case. We have proved that the election was rigged."

INEC Is Working In Favor Of Buhari -Balarabe Musa Alleges
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
A political interest organization, Credible Alternative Alliance (CAA) led by former Kaduna state Governor, Alhaji Abdulkadir Balarabe Musa has alleged that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is tilting the distribution of Permanent Voters Card (PVC) to favour areas believed to be strongholds of All Progressives Congress' candidate, General Muhammed Buhari.
The group presented a statistical analysis of the distribution of PVCs which showed the number of registered voters yet to collect their PVCs in various zones.
According to CAA, South-East has (3,287, 530) , South West (7,411,205), South-South (3,844,370) , North-East (2,429,763), North West (4,835,556), North Central (3,907,849) and FCT(421,559).
On the distribution of PVCs, CAA said it has observed "a criminal gross disparity of voter spread designed to tilt the election to a pre-determined outcome.
The group insists that all the 68.8 million registered voters must be given unfettered access to freely collect their PVCs and cast their vote as provided for in the constitution, adding that it would be forced to take INEC to court if that condition was not met.
"Let us call a spade, a spade. There are two main contenders for the Presidency in this election. The analyzed data above depicts a worrying trend. Voters in the zones that tend to support President Goodluck Jonathan are massively disenfranchised by the application of the so-called PVCs debacle, 40% to 50% of voters in the these regions who are lawfully and duly registered to vote will be denied their right to vote by INEC.
"That is nearly half of the support base of the President, simply nullified by administrative (failure) prior to the election. By comparison, the zones that tend to support Buhari are handed a massive voter advantage, nearly 80% of his support base will be allowed to cast their votes by INEC.
In an election, which many say will be won or lost by a slim margin, to now disenfranchise 26million voters through a questionable and unlawful rule by INEC is not acceptable by any measure.
" CAA condemns in its entirety. This attempt by INEC to undermine our nescient democracy through this criminal enterprise to determine the outcome of this electioneer before the ballot is cast.
While speaking on the controversy raging over the coming election, Balarabe Musa said there is no way INEC can be able to distribute the outstanding PVCs within the remaining two weeks.
"INEC cannot meet up with the issuance voters card to all registered voters, even the PVCs is not being realistic because of the past failures in the past. For example, INEC is talking about distributing permanent voters cards. Let us assume that sufficient PVCs have been produced the commission, how is the PVC is still being distributed.
" We have credible information that in some places in the rural areas, INEC staff take the PVCs for distribution and because of the disappointments of the past refuse to come out for collection of PVC. The commission staff then leave the PVCs to community leaders to distribute. I believe that should not be the responsibility of the village heads to do that but INEC.
"Again, how can we realistically expect INEC to make PVCs available to every registered voter within two weeks, something they failed to do in many years."

We Have Arrested Asari Dokubo A Number Of Times Over Alleged Negative Remarks -DSS
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
The Department of State Services (DSS), said on Thursday that it had invited Asari Dokubo, an ex-Niger Delta militant, several times over recent inflammatory statements credited to him.
The spokeswoman of the DSS, Marilyn Ogar, said this on Thursday while responding to a question at a news conference organised by the National Information Centre.
"First of all, whatever is the operational procedures that we take after we have issued out warnings, we do not make them public.
"And I want you to recollect that Asari Dokubo has been brought into the office – DSS, a couple of times.
"It is not in the position of the office to begin to tell you who has been brought in or who has not been brought in.
"We still stand by our words that whoever in any way would want to interfere or interrupt the peace that prevails, he or she would definitely be dealt with," Ogar said.

Edo Commissioner Who Dumped APC For PDP Was A Fraudster -State Govt Says
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Edo state government has explained the reason for the sudden exit of Mr. Dennis Idahosa from the State Executive Council as Commissioner of Investment, Public/Private Partnership.
Idahosa claimed he dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state because he could no longer tolerate the abusive languages Governor Oshiomhole has always used on President Goodluck Jonathan and other elders of the PDP.
Although he is yet to resign his appointment as Commander under the administration of Governor Adams Oshiomhole, he made public his defection last Saturday during the campaign rally of President Goodluck Jonathan at the Samuel Ogbemudia stadium in Benin.
But in a press statement by the State Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Mr. Louis Odion, the state government explained that Idahosa quit because of his "fraudulent activities (popularly called 419)."
"We wish to state that in the last two months, the state governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, have received series of petitions, mostly from abroad, alleging that Mr. Idahosa was engaged in fraudulent activities (popularly called 419) on an industrial scale. The petitioners, purporting to be his victims, alleged they have been swindled of huge sums of money.
"Disturbed and consistent with his zero tolerance for corruption or any conduct that might tarnish the image of Edo state or bring the country to international odium for that matter, Comrade Oshiomhole had late year set up a high-level administrative panel to look into the grave allegations discreetly.
"After weeks of forensic investigations, the panel's findings were startling. Last week, Mr. Idahosa became aware that the administrative panel was on the verge of formally requesting him to answer those weighty charges. As a matter of fact, last Thursday (January 29), Mr. Idahosa had attended APC Mega Presidential rally at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium that was well attended in his capacity as Commissioner. Curiously, he would dramatically reappear barely 24 hours later at the secretariat of People's Democratic Party (PDP) announcing his defection.
"We do not want to join the speculation that Mr. Idahosa's defection was designed to pre-empt the report of the administrative panel or his action motivated by an external offer of protection. However, in the name of decency and justice and international image of our country, we can only encourage Mr. Idahosa to come out in the open and answer the sundry allegations of 419 leveled against him. Otherwise, the long arms of the law, though may be delayed by his new powerful friends, will ultimately prevail," the statement said.

Incredible! Buhari Wanted Tunde Bakare To Resign If They Won 2011 Elections, Same Deal Allegedly Signed With Prof. Osinbajo
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
A shocking video has emerged of Pastor Tunde Bakare of Latter Rain Assembly openly admitting that he refused to sign a resignation letter that would have seen him hand over his vice presidential position had General Buhari been successful in his presidential campaign in 2011.
In an interview with Kadaria Ahmed aired in July 2013, the firebrand pastor cum politician was queried as to whether his refusal to step down contributed to the breakdown of the proposed merger between CPC and ACN prior to the 2011 elections.
"It was not stepping down that was the issue," Bakare responded. "It was resigning on paper with my signature, to sign as Vice President of Nigeria. I said, 'No, I can't do that. I can resign as Tunde Bakare, a candidate, but I cannot resign as Vice President, an office I have not occupied.' That is illegal."
"Are you saying they were willing to allow your name to go forward in the polls and then they expected that once you'd won the election, you would resign as Vice President?" queried Ahmed in the pilot edition of her show 'Straight Talk With Kadaria' currently airing on Channels Television.
"That is what they were asking for," Bakare admitted. "But I was not ready to commit perjury, to sign an office I have not occupied."
Clearly perplexed, Kadaria questioned as to why Bakare still chose to support a party that intentionally instructed him to be involved in perjury, adding that his position as a pastor puts him on an even higher moral pedestal in the eyes of the public.
"My moral code is simple – I am the salt of the earth and the light of the world," Bakare retorted. "Light does not run away from darkness and salt does not run away from corruption. What you do is contact without contamination."
The user who uploaded a short snippet of the interview on YouTube today opined that a similar agreement had been forged with current Vice presidential candidate, Pastor Yemi Osinbajo of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) led by Pastor Enoch Adeboye.
"This is the same agreement their stooge, Pastor Yemi Osibanjo, has signed for Tinubu that will ensure APC's dream for a Muslim/Muslim Ticket if Buhari wins," the video description controversially reads.
