Helen has produced numerous programmes, home movies and books, all warning parents about the participation of children in witchcraft and the importance of child exorcism. In her book, Unveiling the Mysteries of Witchcraft, Helen and others, write that “a child under two years of age that cries at night and deteriorates in health is an agent of Satan”. Helen remains indifferent to the social consequences of her actions, deceiving the masses and lining her pocket. Society is left to bear the scars of her misguided actions.

Without mincing words, the monster in question is Evangelist Helen Ukpabio, the founder of Liberty Foundation Gospel Ministries, Nigeria. Helen has remained defiant even in the face of national and international condemnation of her tainted and psychotic teachings. Her “almajiris” are nothing more than her abundant religious thugs who would readily use the name of Jesus Christ to disrupt organised conferences. The paranoid and almost schizophrenic-like antics and behaviour of Helen Ukpabio defies decency and calls for immediate reaction on the part of the government of Nigeria.

Before I proceed any further, may I state that as much as every effort has been made to create anonymity around the identity of the victim involved in the tale you are about to read, I still took the pains to obtain his full consent before writing this article. May I also stress that you are about to read a true account of what happened to a fellow Nigerian. The aim is not to pre-empt your opinion, please allow your conscience to be the judge here. Something is however certain; the concept of child witchcraft is a phenomenon that must not be allowed to continue to flourish in our continent.

I am not a woman, and I am not gay, nevertheless, I find Dr. Babalola's complete disregard of women and gay rights unacceptably offensive. There is a difference, I think, between advocating abortions and or gay lifestyles, as compared with a recognition of the right of women to abortions and the right of gays to a sexual preference; Dr. Babalola does not seem to have any qualms in suggesting the elimination or decimation of these rights.

"It's an instruction from the owner not to let you in," said one of the bouncers. "Two days ago, police came here looking for three black men in connection with drugs, so we have been instructed not to let blacks in. Now go away."

Whereas Business Managers and Accountants leverage on the analysis of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) for assessing the viability of a business, the tools available to the Safety Professionals in executing any task are; Identification, Assessment, Control and Recovery (IACR).

Taken together, what we have is an egregious violation of Asari's rights. Let me remind the three branches of the Nigerian government (the executive, the judiciary and the legislature) that "Justice is itself the great standing policy of civil society; and any eminent departure from it, under any circumstances, lies under the suspicion of being no policy at all" (E. Burke).

Majority of Nigerians are suffering from permanent aberration, which is gradually influencing even the most reasonable among us. It has weakened their memory, even ours. This behaviour has richly crippled you and me because of the troubles that were largely self-imposed. We are self-interested yet self-inflicted wound is a mushy fact of our daily lives. I do not have the cure, and this is one of my regrets in life. The most unfortunate part is the dynamic tempt it has on those I look up to. Everyone is doing something yet doing nothing.

In Nigeria, the police is our worst nightmare not our friend. In spite of what the current Inspector General will want us to believe, the police is by far the most corrupt public body perhaps after the Peoples Demonic Party, which rank on the top three with the Please Hold Candles Now (PHCN) formerly Never Expect Power Always (NEPA). These three organizations – PDP, PHCN, and NPF I regard as Nigeria’s primary problem. Why the letter “P” is common to these three: I do not know. May be it means problem, may be.

While surfing the Internet recently I found out about the passing of beloved MaVynee Oshun Betsch. I am still in a strange state of mind emotionally dealing with the feeling that one gets when someone passes, the element of surprise, grief and weightiness that one feels when one losses someone dear. The feelings that engulf ones’ reality when one must come to the realization that someone special is no longer with us as before.  My mind became full of thoughts and memories that cascaded like a stream of fond memories.
