How hostages were freed

...ba href=/sleep/a/b very well today.

Your excellency, again as you said before that you were not going to celebrate when the six hostages were brought, you said you were waiting for the three others to arrive.

Now they have arrived and we want to congratulate you for all that you have done to make it possible for the last three to be released.

“First, we would like to express our gratitude and appreciation to the President who made this possible.

Around him, there are many hawks and we also have the doves.

Some times when the hawks overtake, something will happen.

But he said no, let us be patient if that means being weak, let us be weaklings.

“Secondly, your excellency, we are indeed very grateful to you and to your SSG and members of your government.

And we want to say this: the way you have been working with your colleague in Bayelsa State is very commendable.

I asked Governor Jonathan the other day we met in Yenagoa to join you (Ibori), he said he would send his SSG, Dr Igali with us.

Then we have Senator Emmanuel Diffa who worked with the boys throughout yesterday (Sunday).

And we have Chief Joshua Fumudoh here, the former president of the Ijaw National Congress (INC).

“We are also very grateful to the FNDIC.

We are indeed very grateful because they worked very hard to see that what we are witnessing today comes true.

They listened to their elders and they listened to their governors.

We are grateful to the youths but we do not want any kidnapping again.

“We do hope, yo...

Young and naive, I fell for his lies and before I knew what was happening, I was head-over-heels in love with him.

That I loved Fred was an understatement.

I always wanted to be in his company and nothing meant anything to me any longer.

He became my sunshine and my day was never complete without seeing him.

I thought Fred was also in love with me because of the gifts, time and attention he gave me.

Sincerely speaking, he was all over me.

He provided me with everything a young girl of my age would need to feel and identify love.

He never allowed me to ask for anything before he gave me.

And I was the envy of many of my female friends.

Just as the maxim goes, not all that glitters is gold.

I got the shock of my life one day.

I had not seen Fred for about three days, which was quite unusual.

So, I decided to pay him a visit in his off- campus hostel.

It was during this visit that I found out who Fred really was.

I met a beautiful lady in his apartment cooking.

She was wearing one of his boxers and tee shirt.

God!

!

It was one of those I bought for him as a gift during his birthday.

I greeted her and asked about Fred.

She said he just stepped out, and will soon be back.

She ushered me inside the room and asked me to wait for him, which I gladly did because of her friendly disposition.

Not quite long, he returned and you could see the shock in his eyes immediately he spotted me.

To my surprise, he said in a very harsh tone: “I didn’t remember aski...
