Follow @NigeriaPI Remember the 50 year old man who asked a surrogate to carry his fertilized eggs for him in the hopes of having a child only for her to end up being pregnant with triplets which he asked her to abort because he couldn’t afford to take care of 3 children? Well, she gave birth to all 3 children on Monday in a California hospital, and is now seeking parental rights. The babies were delivered several weeks premature Monday night, according to a lawyer for Melissa Cook, who is the 47-year-old surrogate mother. That man, a deaf, 50-year-old postal worker from Georgia identified in court papers as “C.M.,” paid Cook to carry a child for him. “I’m healthy, I’m 28 weeks pregnant, the babies are doing great, the three little boys I have inside me,” Cook told Fox News outside court earlier this month before they were born. In California, a gestational surrogate – a woman who carries a donor’s eggs – has no parental rights, but Cook is challenging the state’s surrogacy law in federal court, claiming it is unconstitutional. Cook’s lawyer, Harold Cassidy, a nationally prominent pro-life and anti-surrogacy lawyer said: “It’s an attempt to reduce women to an object, or a breeding animal,” charges who is calling for a moratorium on surrogacy’. “You can doctor this up, you can play word games with it, but this is simply and purely the sale of a child,” he added. Cassidy told Fox News the babies were immediately taken from Cook as soon as they were born, because a state court judge had granted the father parental rights, a ruling Cassidy is appealing. “The hospital personnel refused...

Follow @NigeriaPI The Senate on Thursday uncovered N5 billion shortfall in the amount allocated as meal subsidy for Unity Schools as well as personnel cost of Kings College in the 2016 budget proposal submitted by President Muhammadu Buhari. The Senate noted that only N6.8 billion was proposed for meal subsidy in unity school, instead of N11.2 billion needed. It also noted that the amount was grossly inadequate for the Unity Schools meal subsidy. According to the senate, the implication was that the amount provided would only serve for six months, after which N5 billion would be needed to meet up with the shortfall. Disclosing this during collation of the 2016 budget of Senate Committee on Basic and Secondary Education to the Senate Committee on Appropriation, Vice Chairman of Committee on Education, Senator Rose Oko, said there was the omission of N338 million from the personnel cost of Kings College, adding that instead of N375 million, the ministry budgeted N37 million due to typographical error. However, the Chairman of Senate Committee on Appropriation, Senator Danjuma Goje, promised that his committee would accommodate the omission in the final...

Follow @NigeriaPI Most Beautiful Girl In Nigeria 1992, Sandra Petgrave and her husband, George Chukwuka, have been sentenced to jail in the US for their roles in a $5.8 million mortgage fraud that spanned 5 years. Sandra and Chiedu have six children together. Investigations by FBI showed that Chiedu led the fraud ring that operated from 2006 to 2011. Sandra was sentenced to one and a half years imprisonment while her husband was sentenced to 9 years in jail. Below is how FBI reported their sentencing.. “Chiedu “George” Chukwuka has been sentenced in connection with his lead role in a mortgage fraud ring that spanned five years and caused millions in losses. Chukwuka, along with his co-defendants and other co-conspirators, engaged in a massive property-flipping scheme resulting in over $5.8 million in actual losses to financial institutions between 2006 and 2011. “At the height of the recent mortgage-fraud crisis, this property-flipping scheme caused scores of homes to fall into foreclosure, costing financial institutions millions of dollars in losses,” said U.S. Attorney John Horn. “Many communities in our district have been decimated by mortgage fraud during the last 15 years and even now struggle to recover from the effects of these schemes.” “The sentencing of Mr. Chukwuka brings to a close a lengthy investigation and prosecution of a criminal enterprise that targeted the banking industry through their prolific mortgage fraud schemes. Mr. Chukwuka, considered by law enforcement and prosecution to be head of this enterprise, caused extensive damage with high loss amounts to those victim banks involved. The FBI is pleased with the role it played in bringing about this...
