TEENAGE BOY KILLS FATHER!
Olanrewaju Kayode-Aremu, an 18year old boy was recently arrested by the
Lagos State Police Command for stabbing his 46-year-old father, Victor
Kayode-Aremu, to death has said he does not regret
his action.
He decided to stab his father to death because he could not lay his hands on poison or a gun which he would have used to kill his father. He was reported on May 15, 2013 that the suspect stabbed his father to death at their home located at Langbasa in Ajah. He was a Geology student of the University of Ilorin, Kwara State, but was asked to leave the school due to his poor grades.He is currently being detained at the state Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba, said he killed his father for many reasons.
He said killing his father was a mistake but he still had no regrets.
Olarenwaju said one of the reasons why he killed his father was that his father forced him to study Geology even though he did not like the course. He said, “My father used to maltreat me and my mother was aware of this. Sometimes he would not give me food or money. He sent me to University of Ilorin but I did not get the course I wanted. I was admitted to study Geology but I wanted to study Biochemistry.
“My father forced me to go to the school and after I failed, the school asked me to leave. I started working with my father afterwards and I used to follow him to work. He did not want to send me to school anymore.”
Narrating what happened on the day he killed his father, Olanrewaju said he had complained to his parents that he was not feeling too well but they had ignored him.
He said it was in the usual behaviour of his father to maltreat him, adding that he decided to vent his anger on his father
He said, “On that day that I killed my father, I was ill and I told my parents but they ignored me. I do not really know what came over me. I took a knife and followed my father upstairs and stabbed him repeatedly. He ran downstairs and I chased him downstairs and stabbed him once more. “My mother saw me when I stabbed him to death but she did nothing.” Asked why he decided to kill his father in such a gruesome manner, he said, “I could not get poison or a gun. That was why I stabbed him.”
Olanrewaju, who is the first of five children, said his father married a second wife and this had strained the good relationship the family once had. He said on several occasions, his father had sent him out of the house because he hated him, stressing that he had reported to relatives but no one ever listened to him. Olanrewaju said he killed his father because he believed he would not be arrested due to his young age. He said he thought the murder would be treated as a family affair.
He lamented that since his arrest, family members, including his mother, had refused to visit him. He said, “My mother has not come to visit me since I was arrested. I want her to get me a lawyer. I am still very young. I killed him because I wanted to be free. I did not know I would be arrested. I thought nothing would ever happen to me.
“I am not happy in detention and I want the police to release me; I have suffered enough. I am not happy in the cell.”

A TEENAGER'S ONLINE EXPERIENCE
Came across this and thought I should share.
Two years. It doesn’t seem long at all, does it?
Two years. Twenty-four months. One-hundred and four weeks. Seven-hundred and thirty days. Seventeen thousand five-hundred and thirty-one hours. One-million fifty-one thousand eight-hundred and ninety-seven minutes. Sixty-three million and seventy-two thousand seconds.
That is when I entered a relationship with a con-man {or woman}. I never found out who it actually was. I don’t know if that’s what bothers me the most – the not knowing. I was young. I was foolish. I was vulnerable. I was all those things when I first entered into the ‘relationship’. If you can call it that.
I was a seventeen year old girl, who had recently suffered from heavy trauma and I was looking for someone – anyone – who could make me feel loved and worthy of something. You would think that I would have turned to my friends and family but I was simply too scared and too ashamed of what happened to tell anyone in my ‘real life’. So, I turned to the internet. It was a website that I found; a site dealing with teen pregnancy, adoption and loss. I thought I was safe on that website. I thought I had found people who understood me. We were going through the same thing after all. That was until a man called ‘Nero’ appeared on the conversation board. A boy on a teen pregnancy website? It certainly caught my attention, along with a lot of others. We began talking about anything and everything.
This is when the elaborate stories began. They started off as believable then they became suspicious. A year passed by. I began digging around in newspaper archives I found online. Essentially, I became my own private detective. I was now eighteen and we still hadn’t met, despite his ‘attempts’ of getting on a plane and coming over here. I was getting older, impatient and suspicious. The stories were crumbling at my feet. I was feeling disillusioned but still, I continued.
I think a small part of me knew that it was all a lie but I was just too emotionally invested to simply walk away. I searched every image ‘he’ sent me, except the ones of himself. I was too scared. I knew that if I searched his image I would find something I didn’t want to know. I pushed it to the back of my mind. I was busy; I had work, I was planning my college career and I was making new friends. He didn’t like that. We broke up. I think we were separated for almost three months before we got back together, properly.
Big mistake.
It was different this time; we fought constantly, we pushed each others buttons, we tried to ‘one-up’ each other all the time. This was not the same relationship I was used to. After months of fighting, I finally snapped and searched an image that he had sent me. It came up as the picture of an international model/movie actor. My world crumbled. I knew it was coming but that didn’t stop it from hurting. I had spent one and a half years of my life caught up in an elaborate lie.
Now, it’s almost six months on from finding out the truth and it still hurts me sometimes. At the end of the day it was me who got hurt. It was my feelings that were hurt. It was my head that got messed with. It was my heart that got twisted. It was all me. I’ve sat up – late into the night – thinking about what would push a person to do something like that and I have no answers. Unhappiness? Maybe. Boredom? Maybe. Malice? Maybe. A joke? Maybe. For whatever reason – the incident still haunts me and it probably will for a long time.
There’s just one thing that I can’t get over: a part of me is still waiting for him and that part would probably wait forever, if I let her. But I can’t. It’s time.
Two years is a long time. It’s time to let go.
Two years. It doesn’t seem long at all, does it?
Two years. Twenty-four months. One-hundred and four weeks. Seven-hundred and thirty days. Seventeen thousand five-hundred and thirty-one hours. One-million fifty-one thousand eight-hundred and ninety-seven minutes. Sixty-three million and seventy-two thousand seconds.

A Must Read-How Owning A Blackberry Helped Ruin My Life.
This is a story I find hard to belief, but I guess it has lessons it can teach. They say its a true life story, as unbelievable as it seems with the recent inhumane treatments being meted out on innocent girls by some heartless men..one cannot doubt the authenticity of this story...
My name is Chinwe, I am 26 years old, I never graduated from the university, simply coz I was stupid and careless. On my 24th birthday, I received a nice gift, it was a blackberry phone,
I always wanted one, it was like a right of passage, my ex-boyfriend
got it for me, he was a student like me, didn’t have a job, and I really
never cared to ask as he could afford it, my concern at that point was,
yes I had finally arrived,......
.... other girls in my hostel had blackberries and I would always get
pissed when I heard sounds of pings and messages coming into their
phones at all hours and I would stare at my
Nokia phone and wish I could throw it away, but half bread they say is better than none, so I hoped and even fasted to get a blackberry phone, looking back now, if I had the opportunity, I’d have a landline with no internet activity what so ever, anyway I got the blackberry phone and even got free.
BIS subscription, at that moment my life was complete, no more going to the cyber cafes to check my emails, my face-book or twitter, I had it all at my finger tips, life indeed was complete, or so I thought.
Anyway, I became addicted to my blackberry and also my social media
applications, and since I had constant access, I quickly gained enough
followers, and especially guys, mostly because I had a lot of er*tic
pictures on my timeline, I was popular, finally I felt I was the main
girl, everyone wanted to follow me, I didn’t care if it was virtual, it
felt good, checking out my profile and having well over 8,000 followers,
more than half of which were guys, but one particular guy caught my
attention, till this day I don’t know what made him stand out, but we
got chatty, he sent me direct messages and I replied, he was quiet a
gentleman , and I can’t remember him ever asking for a nudè picture
unlike the rest of them, so this made me comfortable with him, his name
was Tobi, he said he was a doctor , I didn’t have any cause to doubt
him, he had extensive knowledge and even gave me some medical advice
from time to time, we eventually moved from twitter to blackberry chat,
we chatted all the time, I got so comfortable with him, I gave him my
number, and that would come to be the biggest mistake I ever made.
Tobi called me every day, some days he called more than once, at night
he would call and I would lay on my bed and have phone sèx with him, his
voice was so soothing, he made me do things I never thought possible,
he had gained so much access into my head, I realized later I had done
some very sick and twisted things just to please him, I would take nudè
pictures of myself, I would send him videos of me touching myself in
private, and send him voice notes of me making moaning sounds and
simulating orgàsms, and all this while we had not met, not face to face
at least, eventually I played into
his hands,
I began pestering to meet him in person, at this point I had lost my
mind, I assumed I was in-love with him, and when my boyfriend at the
time broke up with me, I really welcomed it, for me it meant no more
sneaking around.
Tobi eventually agreed to come to Lagos to meet me, all this while he
had made me to believe he was in Calabar, and would take time off work
to spend a weekend with me in Lagos, when I heard this I was excited, he
told me to book a reservation for him, stating he would pay me back as
soon as he arrived and also he said it would make him more committed to
the visit and would convince him of my seriousness, I bought it all, he
was smart, he was cunning, and I was stupid, oh how stupid I was. The
funny thing was I had sent him tons of pictures, and all I had was just
one picture of him, and whenever I asked he would claim he wanted to be
sure I loved him for him, and not for his looks, and sheepishly I would
try to convince him of my undying love, and would try to appease him
with nudè pictures of my body.
He eventually made it to Lagos, I met him at the hotel, he was tall,
handsome and had a wonderful smile, he made love to me over and over,
and convinced me to spend the night with him, I told him I couldn’t,
because I had a test the next morning, now at this point I don’t know
what triggered his anger, don’t know if it was because I couldn’t spend
the night, or maybe I said something else I can’t remember saying, but
whatever it was, brought out a very ugly side of him, he called me foul
names, and kept going on and on about how he always knew I was cheap,
and he knew I was sleeping with other men, the same man whom had swept
me away, slammed me on the floor, he told me of how he had shown his
friends all my nudè pictures and how they had watched the videos and
listened to the voice notes, he told me he had made a bet with his
friends, that I would actually pay for him to have sèx with me, just to
prove how stupid I was, well you can imagine how I felt, I was confused
and shocked, but I attempted to regain any little dignity I had left,
and so I tried to mouth off at him, suddenly he punched me in the face,
and I tripped over, and hit my head on a stool.
The next thing I remember was waking up on the bed, I was tied up, and
he was staring at me, his eyes were dark and he had a sinister smile on
his lips, he stood up and walked towards me ,I tried to scream and
realized my mouth was tapped, my head was racing, the unfortunate part
was that
no one knew where I was, he turned me over, and told me he was going to
teach me a lesson, at this point I was unclad, he rapped me from
behind, and I mean my anus, the pain was mind blowing, I struggled, and
he hit me, when he was done he brought out a small blade, and he looked
at me for a minute and said, this scar is going to always serve as a
reminder, for girls like you always trying to be more than you are, for
stupid fools like you, he put the blade to my
bosom and cut it off, and anytime I think of it, I still feel the pain,
it was like nothing I had ever felt before, he was calm, like he had
done it a million times, I could feel the warm blood dripping down my
mutilated chest, tears of fear and pain running down my face, and
suddenly he turned around again, this time
all I saw was a flash.
I don’t know how I survived it, but I woke up in a hospital days after,
well I was awake, but my eyes were swollen shut, It took a couple of
days for me to open my one good eye, and realize d damage he had done,
he had plucked out my eye, and cut my face,
he had cut my breasts up real bad, they had to it out, like I had cancer
or something, there was no record of who I was, coz he had taken
everything, he had taken my bag, containing everything I had. I was able
to tell the nurses about what I could remember, and also give them my
mum’s phone number, the hospital felt so much pity, they actually
treated me for free, hard to
believe right?
Anyway I was taken home after weeks at the hospital to recuperate, it
was tough, I was blind in one eye, I had one chest and a hideous scar of
my face, talk about your sinage, he did a number on me, how dumb was I,
sometimes I wish he had killed me, but there are fates worse than
death, and I guess this is one of them, he was gone without a trace, the
receipt
from the hotel was in my name, so yes he had played me from the start.
I didn’t dare go back to school, I was sure everyone would have heard,
and I was not going to become a statistic, so I decided to stay home,
and mind my business, besides what do I need an
education for, I’d rather stay home, because there is no rising from
this, there is no happy ending to this story, this is the simple ending,
I was a victim if a sèxual predator, and I let him into my life period,
and I take full responsibility for that, I was driven by greed and lack
of morals, I allowed myself fall into an abyss, but well saying all
this doesn’t change anything, it’s a memory I will have to live with for
the rest of my life, well not a memory, because I look at myself in the
mirror everyday, who would want to see a nudè picture of a woman with
one chest, one eye, and a stub.
I have decided to publish my story, because with the rise of social
media atrocities being committed, every story can go a long way in
saving a life, so while you read, SHARE and help someone back to the
right path, these internet predators are real.
May Almighty God Help
us all. “Amen”
