WTF AFRICA- JUJU USED TO KEEP UNIVERSITY STUDENT SEX SLAVE

SHOCK: Kenyatta University girl turned into a SEX SLAVE in Kahawa Sukari, Nairobi


– A third year student in Kenyatta University is appealing for help from the public because she has been held hostage by a man at Kahawa Sukari estate, Nairobi. The School of Economics student only identified as Wanjiru met the man last semester and moved in with him for the long holidays since she did not want to travel home.

In her appeal, Wanjiru claims that she has been made a sex slave by the man and he might have bewitched her. Apparently the man uses her as a sex pet and she is even forced to sleep with the man’s friends. Wanjiru said the man gang rapes her with friends and they record it on video.

Wanjiru fears witchcraft or unknown black magic may have been the cause of her suffering because she cannot run away from the man. She has tried running away on several occasions but always comes back after getting to the stage at Engen.

According to her she is sick of the situation and is appealing for help from the public, classmates, college mates and family to save her from the man.

PSALM 35-GOODMORNING

The Psalms
35

A Prayer for Rescue from Enemies
A Psalm of David.

1 Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me:

fight against them that fight against me.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler,

and stand up for mine help.
3 Draw out also the spear,

and stop the way against them that persecute me:
say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
4 Let them be confounded and put to shame

that seek after my soul:
let them be turned back and brought to confusion
that devise my hurt.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind:

and let the angel of the LORD chase them.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery:

and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.
7 For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit,

which without cause they have digged for my soul.
8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares;

and let his net that he hath hid catch himself:
into that very destruction let him fall.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD:

it shall rejoice in his salvation.
10 All my bones shall say,

LORD, who is like unto thee,
which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him,
yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?
11 False witnesses did rise up;

they laid to my charge things that I knew not.
12 They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.
13 But as for me, when they were sick,

my clothing was sackcloth:
I humbled my soul with fasting;
and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
14 I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother:

I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.
15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced,

and gathered themselves together:
yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me,
and I knew it not;
they did tear me, and ceased not:
16 with hypocritical mockers in feasts,

they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on?

Rescue my soul from their destructions,
my darling from the lions.
18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation:

I will praise thee among much people.
19 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me:

neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause. Ps. 69.4 · Joh. 15.25
20 For they speak not peace:

but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.
21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me,

and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.
22 This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence:

O Lord, be not far from me.
23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment,

even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness;

and let them not rejoice over me.
25 Let them not say in their hearts,

Ah, so would we have it:
let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together

that rejoice at mine hurt:
let them be clothed with shame and dishonor
that magnify themselves against me.
27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad,

that favor my righteous cause:
yea, let them say continually,
Let the LORD be magnified,
which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
28 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness

and of thy praise all the day long.

WHY DID SHE NEED A MAKE OVER?

RECESSION………..JAMAICA???

Economy on the verge of recession, says PIOJ

The Planning Institute of Jamaica, PIOJ, has indicated that the economy is on the verge of a recession and the situation could worsen.

Director General of the PIOJ, Dr Gladstone Hutchinson, says, while the original forecast was for the economy to grow in a range of 0.5 to 1.5 percent in the April to June quarter, estimates are that growth was a meagre 0.1%

That estimate came after the Statistical Institute of Jamaica, Statin, said, the economy contracted in the first quarter of the year, despite PIOJ estimates that growth took place.

Dr Hutchinson however indicated that things could get worse for the economy

“GDP performance for the six months of January to June was estimated to be flat. The goods producing and servicing industry both declined by 0.1. in terms of an outlook we expect GDP growth for September 2012 to be within the range of -0.5 to 0.5%”

Dr Hutchinson says, the lack of growth is due to a downturn in capital expenditure and declines in consumer and business confidence.

He reiterated, that the slowdown came at a time when unemployment is at a ten year high – 14 point 3 percent.

GORDON HOUSE A MASHUP PUP PUP

Breaking News – LONDON 2012 FAILURE – TOURISM MINISTER LOST while Junior Minister “a shell dung a club a London”
Posted on August 20, 2012

Opposition Spokesperson on Tourism and Travel Service Development, Mr. Edmund Bartlett this evening said that Tourism Minister Dr. Wykeham McNeil, at today’s Press Conference on Government’s London 2012 Olympics activities, confirmed the miserable failure at putting in place and executing an effective marketing strategy that would bring concrete benefits to the tourism sector and the broader Jamaican economy.

Mr. Bartlett said that Dr. McNeil’s announcements amounted to a deliberate ‘mixing’ of the facts as the visit of travel agents next month and additional airlift out of Europe were long established and has absolutely nothing to do with the London 2012 Olympics. Mr. Bartlett also pointed out that the Tourism Minister failed at effectively utilizing social media inclusive of Facebook and Twitter in driving interest in Jamaica’s tourism offerings. Instead, Mr. Bartlett said during the Olympics the Minister of State, Mr. Damion Crawford tweeted on the night of Tuesday August 7 that he and others “a shell dung a club a London”.

Mr. Bartlett also said that while ‘Jamaica House at O2 Arena’ paid for by taxpayers dollars in London was a wonderful drinking and party spot; it was a logistical “nightmare”, “unclear” on objectives, not engaging for attendees and devoid of information on Jamaica, as spelt out in a recent letter to the editor by a concerned Jamaican in England. These views he said reflect those of other attendees at ‘Jamaica House at O2’ in London.

He noted that Tourism Minister’s frail presentation today only at best confirmed very strong public perceptions that the Jamaican government had one grand party in London and wasted near J$150 million in taxpayer dollars.

 

 

A GOVERNMENT HAD ONE GRAND PARTY IN LONDON. BARTLETT WANTS ANSWERS ON STRATEGIES. $150 MILLION ON WHAT?

Opposition Spokesperson on Tourism and Travel Service Development, Mr. Edmund Bartlett today said he and the people of Jamaica will accept nothing less than an clear-cut and accurate account of the marketing strategies and plans which were crafted prior to and will be instituted after London 2012, from the Minister of Tourism Dr. Wykeham McNeil’s Press Conference tomorrow. The Press Conference was called after Mr. Bartlett raised serious concerns about the lack of a discernable marketing strategy for the London 2012 Olympics and a very strong public perception that the Jamaican government had one grand party in London.

 

Mr. Bartlett said that the people of Jamaica deserve to know whether especially with the huge amounts of money expended in what are very challenging times for most Jamaicans. Mr. Bartlett concerns are further heightened, following a letter in a local newspaper today by a Jamaican living in England pointing out that the ‘Jamaica House at O2 Arena’ paid for by taxpayers dollars was a logistical “nightmare”, “unclear” on objectives, not engaging for attendees and devoid of information on Jamaica. These views he said reflect those of other attendees at ‘Jamaica House at O2’ in London.

 

Mr. Bartlett went on to reiterate that the UK market is the weakest of Jamaica’s three major markets, the others being the US and Canada, and that Jamaica may very well have missed a huge opportunity to capitalize on the London 2012 bonanza. Additionally, Mr. Bartlett pointed out that the Jamaica Tourist Board and JAMPRO spent in the region of 150 million of taxpayers’ dollars on London 2012 activities NONE of which was expended on athletes or the media exposure received.

 

Mr. Bartlett further noted that, it was long established that Jamaica would have performed well at this year’s Olympics. In that vein, a solid marketing strategy encompassing heavy social media work, inclusive of Twitter and Facebook, would have in real time channel direct benefits to the Tourism industry and the broader Jamaican economy. Instead Mr. Bartlett said during the Olympics the Minister of State, Mr. Damion Crawford tweeted on the night of Tuesday August 7 that he and others “a shell dung a club a london”.

What were the objectives of Jamaica House at O2 Arena?

Thursday, August 16, 2012

Dear Editor,

 

At the end of the London Olympics we saw the closure of the much-vaunted Jamaica House at the O2 Arena, located near the Olympic Village.

 

Initially, visitors noted the three different areas where people could congregate: Jamaica House, Proud 2 and The Terrace. Jamaica House had the main stage big screen, food and drinks outlets; Proud 2, a bar with two smaller screens and The Terrace, an outdoor area with bed-seating, bar and food outlets. In addition, attached to Jamaica House was a Things Jamaican store selling Jamaican merchandise.

 

Without a doubt, it was a great space for us Jamaicans, friends and well-wishers to celebrate our athletes’ spectacular achievements and to revel in the party atmosphere. But, like many others, I was disappointed that Jamaica House failed to provide information about Jamaica: that is, history, infrastructure, business opportunities, education or vision. While Things Jamaican did a roaring business, this particular opportunity should have been widened to other businesses, allowing them also to display and benefit from their wares being sold to the hundreds of customers who passed through their doors.

 

In terms of logistics, it was a nightmare. People could book online for one day only; if they wished to return for other days, they were unable to do so. To add to the confusion, people who registered online and turned up were unable to enter because they were not on the register/attendance list. They would then line up on a first-come, first-served basis. In addition, there was no provision for young children, disabled people or the elderly, especially if they had to wait in a line for hours on end.

 

Bear in mind that hundreds of visitors passed through the Jamaica House doors over the 16 days – it opened from 4 pm to 12 midnight. There was nothing to engage the audience for that length of time, even though the entertainers who did perform in small segments did a very commendable job.

 

For me there was nothing in Jamaica House that a regular visitor to Jamaica, child, elderly person, potential returning resident or tourist, could have learnt about Jamaica’s past, where it’s at, or the direction for the nation’s future. Other than showing people how well we can run and party – which we already know – we failed to show the hundreds of visitors what else they could learn or what Jamaica is good at. Things like our creativity, manufacturing or techonolgy industries, business opportunities or where to visit off the beaten track. What the organisers did create were brief morning sessions where selected invitees were able to attend and obtain information from visiting ministers. This process excluded many potential investors from the general public.

 

Overall, the objectives for Jamaica House remain unclear. In comparison, Birmingham had a successful event. So, what was the main aim for JH? What did it set out to achieve? The question is (even though JH was beautifully decorated and lavishly furnished), what was the real return on invesment for Jamaica, in real monetary terms, economic or employment opportunities?

 

Really, there were a number of things wrong with Jamaica House from logistics, access, lack of information to marketing and general organisation, and I feel we missed a great opprtunity to truly connect with the diaspora, and the wider local, national and international public. Though disappointed with JH in its entirety, I must say it was a great place to be for the vibe and celebrating our success on the track, music and food!
