Caroline Sam, also known as Maheeda in the music industry, once worked as a prostitute before falling in love with music. The controversial singer popular for posting her raunchy pictures on the social media recently revealed exclusively to Showtime that prostitution should be legalised.

It won’t be bad if it is legalised because it’s everywhere anyway. So it’s better if it’s legalised,” she said.

It is the oddity of this story and curiosity that compelled Saturday Vanguard to take a two day trip to Ibadan, Oyo state, in search of this man: one prophet Wale Olagunju, the presiding Bishop of Divine Seed of God Chapel Ministries in Ibadan, Oyo State, who has neither taken a bath nor had sex with his wife since 2001! Testimonies regarding his authenticity abound, but this is from the prophet’s mouth: Sir, we are here to get some clarifications on the story we heard about you. I am Prophet Wale Olagunju, I don’t know what you heard about me. But whatever it is I am ready and all ears. When did your ministry start? I received the name of this church in 1994 but before then I have been a prophet, prophesying to people and all my prophesies come to pass. And that was how we started til...

But seriously, would you rock this?

Mr Greer, who was not arrested for the killing, said he shot the woman twice in the back after she told him she was pregnant. "She says 'don't shoot me, I'm pregnant - I'm going to have a baby'. And I shot her anyway. The lady didn't run as fast as the man so I shot her in the back twice. She's dead, but he got away." Mr Greer told news channel NBC4 without remorse. Miller and another man identified as 26 year old Gus Adams burgled the man's home in Long Beach, Los Angeles earlier this week. Greer said he caught them in his house in the middle of the night. "When I went in there, they tackled me. Both of them jumped up on top of me." Greer said while they were ransacking his house, he found his gun and fired it making them both run from the house empty handed....

When we look at this pic, there's nothing traditionally or culturally wrong with it. Tribal marking has been happening for centuries and it's accepted. But there are those who believe that when it's done on a child who has no say in the matter, its a clear case of child abuse. They've tried to kick against it ...with of course...no luck! What do you think of tribal marks on children? Let's discuss!
