Cossy spills it all on Tweeter
Obama,Unveiled the Person of the year 2012 -TIME Magazine
In 1782 an expatriate French aristocrat
named J. Hector St. John de Crèvecoeur who lived in New York’s Hudson Valley
published a book in London called Letters from an American Farmer. The third
letter was titled “What Is an American?” That question reverberated in the late
18th century as the Old World tried to make sense of the New. It’s still
relevant 230 years later, in part because Americans are changing even as
America itself remains much the same.

Secondary School Principal in Ogun State Quizzed by the Police on Conducting virginity tests on Students
The
Principal of a Secondary School in Ogun state, Olufunke Oladeojobi, has been quizzed by the
police for allegedly conducting virginity tests on some students in her school.
Without seeking the consent of the parents and guardians of the
students, she called in a nurse and jointly carried out virginity tests on a
group of 10 students last week Monday.
Punch reports that the principal and the
nurse whose name could not be ascertained allegedly dipped their fingers into
the pupils’ private parts. After the exercise, which took place at the
principal’s office, each of the pupils was given an exercise book.
Here is an excerpt of the news report stating the account of
some of the students:
A 15-year-old pupil, who identified herself simply as Ayo, said
the principal came into the classroom on the day and announced that all female
SSS 1 pupils should converge on the assembly ground. She said the principal
subsequently asked that those who had yet to lose their virginity should stand
apart.
Ayo said, “We
are over 600 in SSS 1 but only about 300 of us are females. Those of us that
are virgins are 38 and we were marched into the principal’s office with the
assistance of members of staff. They subsequently divided us into three groups
of 10, 15 and 13 and I was in the second group. The principal later addressed
us and threatened that any pupil who fails the test would have her name written
in the school’s black book and would be suspended.”
Ayo said she became apprehensive when everyone who emerged from
the office where the test was being carried out came out with a sad and disgusting
look. She said, “When my class
captain emerged from the room, I asked her why anyone that came out of the
office looked depressed? I was held spell bound when she told me that the
principal and the nurse dipped their fingers in turns into their private parts,
adding that she had started bleeding as a result of the penetration. Just as I
was asking further questions from her, the principal dashed out of her office
and announced that she had discovered one student who had lost her virginity
out of the 10 students that were examined. She wrote her name on one of the
notice boards in her office and ordered the rest of us to return to our various
classes. Two of my friends who had similar experiences burst into tears as they
narrated what happened.”
Thirteen-year-old SSS I pupil of the school, identified simply
as Ujunwa, said the principal was happy that she was able to “catch a
promiscuous pupil” as she felt proud to discuss it on the assembly ground the
next day.
She, however, added that her joyous moments was soon short-lived
when the parents of the 10 pupils stormed the school in protest against the
development.
The parents of the pupils reported the Principal’s action to the
Police and she was subsequently arrested. The report further stated that she told
the Police that “she was trying to help them” and that she wasn’t detained
because it was taken into consideration that she is a civil servant.
This sounds totally wrong. She had no right to do what she did,
absolutely none! How could she just put her fingers into their private parts?
It sounds more like sexual molestation rather than a virginity test.
We pray that in her bid to “help them”, she hasn’t caused more
physical and psychological harm to the young girls.

Secretary of state faints, sustains concussion
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who skipped an
overseas trip this past week because of a stomach virus,
sustained a concussion after fainting, the State
Department said Saturday.
The 65-year-old Clinton, who's expected
to leave her job soon, was recovering at home after the incident last week and
is being monitored by doctors, according to a statement by aide Philippe Reines.
No further details were immediately
available.
President Barack Obama telephoned his top
diplomat Saturday to wish her well, a White House official said.
The
State Department said Clinton was dehydrated because of the virus, fainted and
sustained a concussion. She will continue to work from home in the week ahead
and looks forward to returning to the office "soon," the statement
said.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee said it won't hear from
Clinton as planned at a Thursday hearing into the Sept. 11 attack against a
U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans,
including the U.S. ambassador. The House
Foreign Affairs Committee also
said Clinton would no longer give scheduled testimony at its hearing Thursday
on Libya.
Senior State
Department officials
William Burns and Thomas Nides are to take Clinton's place at both hearings.
Clinton's aides on Saturday informed the
Senate committee chairman, Sen. John
Kerry, about her health, and the Massachusetts Democrat
"insisted that given her condition, she could not and should not
appear" as planned, said Kerry spokeswoman Jodi Seth. Obama is expected to
nominate Kerry to succeed Clinton.
Clinton
backed out of a trip to North Africa and the Persian Gulf on Monday because she
was sick. She caught the virus during a recent visit to Europe.
The
former first lady is known for her grueling travel schedule and is the most
traveled secretary of state, having visited 112 countries while in the job.

kissing has emerged and gone viral. Reports by the foreign media say Abigail
and the Nigeria international, Martins, who plays for Levante in the Spanish La
Liga, are involved in a discrete relationship.
Record.com.mx quoted some Italian media, saying that the pair
was captured on camera in suggestive poses, with Martins embracing and kissing
Abigail. The relationship between the Nigerian goal poacher and his Ghanaian
girlfriend started in Milan, Italy when Martins was playing for Inter Milan.

displeased that the pictures have been published, as he does not approve of the
relationship.
Abigail is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas – Rose
Barwuah, biological parents of Balotelli. It would be recalled that Mario
Balotelli at age two was fostered by White Italian family, Francesco and Silvio
Balotelli as suggested by Social Workers when his parents couldn’t cope with
