Son of Ambassador Chijoke W Wigwe Speaks: My Mother Terrorized My Father!
First of all let me say how angry, sad and disappointed I am at the public who have already ridiculed my father H.E Dr Chijoke W Wigwe without hearing all the facts. Without talking to the people who were there, without talking to the people who know him best. Without talking to the people who know H.E Tess Wigwe and know exactly what she is capable of. For days, I have been holding back information because my mother H.E Tess Wigwe is the woman who bore me, the woman who raised me, and she is the woman who has provided for me my whole life. But with that said I cannot sit back and allow her to ruin my father's life and disgrace Nigeria like this. Now before I continue I think it's crucial that you know a couple of facts. I have lived with my Mother my whole life. I have never and will never put anyone before her. So if you're stupid enough to think that I will lie for my father against my Mother? You are sadly mistaken.
On May the 11, I was in my bedroom lying down listening to music when I heard a loud commotion coming from my mother and fathers room. I heard my mother shouting telling my father "I cook food for you and you don't eat" I thought nothing of it because my mother and father argue a lot, so I ignored it at first. But then the commotion got louder. That's when I left my room to investigate what was going on. When I arrived, I found my mother and father arguing in the hallway. My mother was yelling at me "look at my face, look at what your father did" I looked at my mother's face and she had some cuts and small amounts of blood on it, her face was nothing like those horrific pictures that we all saw in the star on May the 26 2011. I tried to calm my mother down and I escorted her into her bedroom to clean her face. I took a face towel and soaked it with dettol and tried to clean her face but she refused. "No" my mother shouted "I want to show everyone what your father has done, I want the press and everybody to see". I mean she was not complaining of any pain, she was not holding any part of her body in pain. She was not dazed or confused apart from the small cuts, she was fine.
My mother told the star that "she was rescued by her 20 year old son and her 23 year old daughter" but that's a lie because I found them arguing in the hall. My mother also said in the same interview "He grabbed me by the hand and when I tried to pull away, he hurled me against the wall and started punching me" But when I arrived at the scene I saw my mother and father having an argument, like all husbands and wife's have now and again.
So after my mother refused that I should clean her face. She incredibly asked me to look for her camera. She said and I quote "Nelson look for my camera, I want people to see what your father has done, I want everybody to know what happened even the press" to say I was shocked was an understatement, my mother claims that my father "battered" her but yet here she is, looking around for her camera, instead of telling me to take her to hospital. Could it be that my mother is lying?
She eventually found her camera and phoned her friend to come and pick her up. My mother then went outside of the house to wait for her friend. On the way out my mother took photos of her face. My father locked the front door because at this point my mother was shouting at the top of her voice, saying, "I will finish you this Chijioke Wigwe, and you shall see what will happen"
She also mentioned my father's term, and mentioned that the possibility of any future opportunity for him, she will destroy. As she waited outside for her friend to arrive, my mother was shouting wild accusations at the top her voice. "Your father sleeps around with woman; your father is an evil man" My father was furious with these accusations and unlocked the door to confront my mother but I held him back. My mother continued to disgrace herself by shouting " Chijoke Wigwe you are not fit to be Ambassador, you are a coward, your mother is a whore, I will finish you here in Kenya, mark my words"
At this point, me, my sister, the chef and the security man, are all trying to calm her down, but she was continuing to shout and trying to fight. My nephew was also there, who is a small child, but It didn't seem to bother her that he was witnessing the argument. She continued and my sister begged with her to stop for the sake of her son. It was not long after this point that she went looking for bricks and pot plants that are located around the residence. She picked up a pot plant and tried to throw it. My sister stopped her and the contents were spilled all over her as a result. When that didn't succeed, she eventually picked up a brick and hurled it at the window. Twice. Eventually shattering it. This is the person who claimed to have suffered injuries including severe back pain. So, how, therefore, did she manage to hurl large objects and break our security windows?
She eventually calmed down, and that was when her friend came. My father then left the house to see who had arrived, and told the person to just leave. They drove away.
Maybe everyone is confused as to why my Mother would do something like this.
Before my mother left London, it was agreed that every month my Father would be using a large portion of his allowance to pay her mortgage. That means that for the past two and a half years, my Mother has been sending that money to London to pay her mortgage for her house. Problems entailed when she realized that the so called trust worthy person was in fact keeping every cent of that money. So, as we speak, she is in serious debt.
I cannot stress the amount of times that my mother has been worrying about the repossession of her house in London, due to the theft.
When it comes to money, my mother is like a lioness protecting her cub. She will stop at nothing to try and make up for the loss of that money.
Including, but not limited to, lying to my father, and the embassy. Saying that things in the house were broken or needed repair, receiving the money for it, then keeping the money to herself. Despite the fact that there is never any food in the house, which she receives a large amount each month for, she managed to pay for a plane ticket for her old friend from England to arrive here. This now being the new person entrusted with the payment of her mortgage.
Yet, despite this expensive plane ticket, and the sheer thousands of pounds that are sent back to London, our Nigerian residence here, is somewhat of a joke. The five security dogs that we have here, who are Rottweiler's by the way, are all suffering from malnutrition and some are starving.
She receives around 20,00ksh for these dogs, yet a mere 3,000 is what is used per month to feed these large animals. Instead of a diet of meat and protein, they receive rice!
My sister has been here since April from the US. When she arrived, true to my mother's nature, she started once again into a long ongoing fight with her. Banning her from using the car, making her and my nephew take taxi cabs and finally telling our chef he is not allowed to prepare food for her! My sister even had to use her American bank card just so she could eat!
The same thing happened to me in 2008, when I myself arrived with her from London. Not allowing me to use the car, or buying food. I was even accused of conniving against her with an old lady that was brought here from a village in Nigeria to work on the residence. Now, bare in mind this is a small woman in stature, and also quite feeble. This woman was battered by my mother as she accused her of turning me against her.
She then ordered that the woman not be allowed to eat, or drink at all. I remember secretly making a meal for her as I felt bad, but she came in and saw me and an argument ensued. After everything that this woman was put through, which for her was hell, she was then made to leave. The other staff members have followed the same fate. Some have lost their jobs other were merely fired, based on the fact she thought they were stupid.
Prior to her arrival most of these people had their jobs for a long time. An example was a man called Ibraham who was not only my father's driver but a driver to many other diplomats before him. My Mother was actually jealous of the close friendship they had. So, next thing we knew, he was fired. Most if not all of our current staff all work in fear of her.
In my 20 years of existence, I have actually never once witnessed an act of unkindness from my father.
My mother on the other hand, well, this is the woman who I have the worst memories of growing up. Especially concerning my sister.
Which is why I'm disgusted at the hypocrisy of her "battered woman" claim.
There were many times when I would witness her picking on and beating my older sister, then I would write letters to her and slip them under her bedroom door as I heard her crying on the other side. I will never forget that.
At 16 she was kicked out of the house, and my mother will deny doing so to this day, even though we ALL witnessed it. In London, when my sister was pregnant at 24, I have never seen such evil behaviour towards her. We all thought it would get better, but it didn't. A great example of this is when we had a small mouse that used to always appear now and then, in the kitchen.
Although heavily pregnant and working at the time, my mother ordered my sister who was tired, and going through bad bouts of morning sickness, to clean the mouse droppings. When she asked if I could do it she was told, no and an argument ensued and she was almost made to do it. My sister stood her ground and refused.
She would also spray air freshener in the room my sister was staying in, although she knew certain smells were literally making her sick. As a result, my sister not only left my mother's house, although she had nowhere to go, but she went all the way to New York, 6months pregnant with about 30 dollars to her name. She even had to ask her GP for permission to travel as she was so heavy at that point.
As for my Father, on top of NEVER raising a hand to any of us, He has literally supported us in any way he can.
My sister used to live with him in New York and study fashion and photography. He used to also pay her rent in California just because she was unable to work. He has paid for even our brother's girlfriends to come and visit in New York and elsewhere. He has always let us have our friends over and used to take us out to the cinema, to the park, to play, and to watch us at our sports games for support.
My mother wouldn't even let friends of ours in the house. My Father is loved and she has always hated that. She never understood why people didn't take to her the same way. It never occurred to her that the way she treated people would have an effect on how they saw her.
His kindness extends to his staff and they all reap the benefits of this. He never thought himself higher than anyone else and for this, his staff always received respect from him despite his powerful positions.
My Father's good nature has influenced us all. His love for music, has influenced all of us. His love of the arts, has brought out a brilliant talent in my sister which he has always encouraged and nurtured. He would wake up every day and put on Bob Dylan and listen to classical music.
We have fond memories of him listening to his music, dancing and even making up his own lyrics to make us laugh.
He is kind and very funny and even though my nephew has not been here long, Grandad is the one he runs to whenever he would return home.
After events, he would come home, sit down with a small glass of whiskey and tell us interesting stories. He never raised his voice or yelled at us. He was always calm and peaceful. This is his true nature. Not the barbaric monster he has been made out to be. One of my brother's got wind of the news in London and called him crying, and devastated. We all are. This is not the father we have grown up to, love and adore. It hurts us to see such mean things said about him.
I haven't even lived with my Father my whole life. Yet, the times that I was staying with him due to his occupation, were some of the best times and memories of my life. Like Warsaw Poland, Manhattan in New York, and then here in Nairobi, Kenya.
I have lived with my mother my entire life, so I hope it's understood the difficulty in me writing this letter. But, I must do it. For the sake of my family, for the sake of Nigeria and the reputation my father has worked so hard to achieve.
But the truth must be known to all not just me.

Manziel Has Another Big Season To Lead No. 10 A&M
COLLEGE STATION (AP) — The encore to Johnny Football's Heisman Trophy-winning freshman season is nearing an end.
Johnny Manziel and No. 10 Texas A&M have a bye this week before wrapping up the regular-season with games at No. 18 LSU and ninth-ranked Missouri.
Manziel has put up eye-popping numbers similar to and in some cases better than he did a year ago, but most polls don't have him favored to join Archie Griffin as the second two-time Heisman winner. His biggest competition to repeat is Florida State's freshman quarterback Jameis Winston, who has led the Seminoles to a 9-0 start.
Manziel says he isn't worried about the Heisman race and is only concerned about helping the Aggies win their next two games.

Bangladesh factory collapse: ASM Al-Amin, the rescuer
College student dug desperately in garment factory rubble before becoming a victim himself when another wall fell minutes after the main collapse.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
The Rescuer: ASM Al-Amin, 26, a student at Dhaka Bangla College, was one of the first on the scene when the Rana Plaza collapsed.
ASM Al-Amin was rolling out of bed and heading to the bathroom when what sounded like a "bomb blast" shook his home. He looked through his window and across the road. Where the Rana Plaza had stood only moments earlier, a dust cloud was rising.
Al-Amin sprinted to the spot.
"At first, I started taking pictures with my phone because when I got there it was completely quiet," he says. "You couldn't hear the people under the rubble. I thought everyone must be dead. Then I saw a few people come staggering out."
Al-Amin raced home and grabbed two shovels. He scrambled to phone his friends, telling them to come and help dig for survivors. He formed a team with eight others and they were joined by a police brigade within 15 minutes.
As the hours passed, others showed up, scrambling up a mountain of rubble in flip-flops, digging into the concrete, electrical wiring and broken machinery with their bloodied hands.
The top floors of the plaza had collapsed, but the walls of the first floor were still standing for the most part.
"I started digging, trying to make a hole into the wall," Al-Amin says, "and after a while I was able to climb into the hole."
Then, the wall behind him crumbled, trapping him inside.
"I went from trying to help to being a victim," Al-Amin says. "It wasn't too long before someone grabbed me from above and pulled me out."
Al-Amin and his friends dug for three days and two nights.
"I don't know how many people we pulled out," Al-Amin says. "More than 100, for sure. No one said much. I think they all were surprised they were not dead.
"We saw such bad things," Al-Amin says. "Many rescuers are not able to sleep at night."

The promise of "the cloud" is that cloud storage delivers users seamless "just in time" storage scalability to handle growth and quickly respond to peak loads. The economics and business impact of cloud storage also delivers a compelling financial proposition in today's budget constrained IT environments. To the IT consumer shifting what was a capital expense and a fixed cost to a variable cost operating expense is financially compelling. Additionally, the ability to function in a "just in time" mode versus a "predictive" model for consumable storage also changes the CAPEX impact further assisting in justifying an already strong value proposition for adopting cloud storage.
IDC forecasts that cloud-based storage will represent a $15.6B market by 2015 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 32%. They also predict 10,000 service providers will focus on cloud storage with a data protection emphasis. The economics of this market transition will continue to evolve and accelerate as costs of delivering cloud services are optimized by service providers that become more efficient - ever mindful of the cost of their plant/facility, operating expenses and business margins.
The crucial technology that will provide service providers with the greatest cost reduction is data optimization. Data optimization incorporates deduplication, compression and thin provisioning technologies that maximize storage efficiency. Data optimization is the most significant innovation in the storage industry, enabling organizations to save more information in a smaller physical footprint. Nowhere does the fundamental concept of storing less data dramatically change economics more than for providers of cloud storage infrastructure.
When applied to the cloud, data optimization is a disruptive technology. It increases storage efficiency on a 5X to 35X scale. In cloud storage environments the impact is simple and compelling. For a data mix that yields a 5X boost to storage efficiency, costs drop to 20% of what they previously were. In addition, reductions in floor space, power and cooling and manpower all significantly improve operating efficiency. With a clearly differentiated value proposition the disruptive nature of applying data optimization enables the service provider to grow their business by gaining market share at the competitor's expense.
Data optimization's impact on storage consumption in the cloud or in the data center yields operating efficiency and critical business advantages;
- Reduced capital expense - in any storage environment media is a substantial expense. Disk drives and now SSDs are a significant cost because they need to be available in anticipation of demand. Reducing cost to store data will have a direct impact on the IT expense budget's bottom line. Data optimization applied here will drive down capital storage costs by 80% or more.
- Data center operating efficiency - with a 5X increase in storage efficiency the requirements for the cloud or data center proportionately decrease. The same data is stored on data optimized storage that is now 80% less and is delivered with 20% of existing floor space, power and cooling costs.
- Additional benefits are realized through data optimization in network bandwidth consumption, manpower requirements, operational systems needed to support the infrastructure and overall management of the cloud service provider or data center.
Market Drivers
Worldwide data growth is consistently in the 50% per year range. The storage necessary to house this data dramatically impacts enterprise IT operations and their capital budgets. Enterprises are evaluating and planning to use cloud storage to gain business agility and manage capital cost variations. Cloud service providers compete on location, cost, reputation and SLAs. Providers must increasingly differentiate their offering either by developing technology in house or by leveraging third party solutions from major storage vendors. .
Industry analysts, well aware of the impact of continued data growth on IT budgets and the rapid adoption of cloud storage, continue to observe the impact of how data optimization significantly increases IT efficiency and recommend data optimization technologies for all phases of data storage from primary through to the cloud.
At a recent Gartner Conference, one of the keynote speakers was adamant that throwing hardware at the problem of rampant data growth will not work. His view was that IT needs to optimize storage capacity consumption with virtualization, data deduplication and bandwidth optimization. I found this to be quite a contrarian view since the platform vendors have dominated the dialogue in IT informatics. Here was a keynote speaker saying hardware is not the answer to managing the data glut...it's a software fix that we need. Later in the event another session, another speaker, and data deduplication was raised as "emerging as a top opportunity to positively impact data growth because of its ability to reduce the amount of data consuming costly storage." Additionally, the discussion also evolved to include the "green impact" of reducing the amount of data which in turn impacts floor space, power and cooling consumption. Seems that deduplication and data optimization is a win-win.
Disruptive technologies deliver competitive advantage. Data optimization is one of those technologies that can make market leaders by clearly differentiating what they offer versus their competitors. Sometimes it's economic and other times it can be technical leadership. In the case of both economic and technology leadership, a market disruptive technology, such as data optimization, will drive market share growth and enable rapid business growth at the expense of competitors.
In the case of cloud storage, the first storage systems vendor to bring cloud storage products to market with integrated data optimization technology will gain a huge advantage in the rapidly growing cloud service provider space. In addition, their products will become deeply entrenched into the cloud provider infrastructure because they reduce storage costs and increase overall operational efficiency.

| SuperSweetGirl119387 chapter 15 . 4/3/2012
I think that for the next chapters I think you should have people from school finding out danny's secret and have him crowned "King of Casper High", Paulina wanting to be his "queen" and Dash wanting to be his friend and have danny hate it all.
| Classy Miss Sassy chapter 15 . 4/3/2012
Great Story.
Love the fight and the Des/Danny kiss (FINALLY)
For the next chapters I think you should add Tucker in it and have him become Danny's new friend, say maybe Tucker did something to get him kicked out of his clique and danny becomes his friend.
Think about it please (super cute puppy dog eyes technique)
| Miss Angel17 chapter 15 . 4/3/2012
Alright great chapter after A LONG TIME, the only problem I could see was the "Jazz/Danny" kiss, even if it was kinda cute in its own light, incest is just wrong, they even akknowlodge it as wrong

I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day – interviewed at Arizona Republic (Phoenix, AZ) in April 2014.
Hired through bi-annual interview day with many employers at Arizona State University's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. It was a bit like speed dating, and students had about 15 minutes with each potential employer. Afterwards, both the employers and students selected their top choices and were matched if our top choices lined up.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Arizona Republic (Phoenix, AZ) in March 2012.

Planned strikes by Scotrail workers called off
Last updated at 11:46, Friday, 21 December 2012
Planned strikes by rail workers – that would have impacted on commuters travelling in and out of Carlisle – have been called off.
Members of the Rail Maritime and Transport (RMT) union at ScotRail had been due to walk out tomorrow and again on Christmas Eve in a row over the dismissal of a colleague.
An RMT spokesman said: "RMT can confirm that industrial action on ScotRail has been called off as a satisfactory agreement has now been reached between the union and the company."
The action was part of a dispute over the sacking of one of the union's members.
ScotRail operates Carlisle-Dumfries-Glasgow trains and the sleeper service from Carlisle to London. Some of its Glasgow-Carlisle trains continue to Newcastle.
ScotRail said its services would run as normal over the Christmas period following the announcement.
A spokesman said: "We are delighted that common sense has prevailed and the threat of industrial action has been lifted.
"It is the right decision."

More cafes and restaurants in Marlborough sick of second-hand smoke from smoking areas wafting around customers are going completely smokefree.
Smoking indoors is not allowed in any cafe in the country, but French Essence, Gramado's, Raupo and Brancott Estate have banned smoking outside their premises as well.
It follows a drive by Marlborough Cancer Society to create more smokefree spaces.
French Essence owner Sarah Anderson said the blanket ban was a no brainer.
They no longer allowed customers to smoke in the courtyard which is adjacent to a children's play area.
She had personally seen the damage caused by smoking. Anderson's grandfather died of lung cancer and her husband's family had been hit by cancer.
"I feel proud of the fact we have a smoke-free environment. Our motivation was having young children and we wanted a family friendly environment."
Some disgruntled customers had tried to break the ban but Anderson said there was zero tolerance.
"We have had a bit of resistance but it has all been for the greater good."
Gramado's Restaurant and Bar owner Saulo Camillo Nunes said they went smokefree three months ago. "At our entrance customers used to smoke. Patrons were walking through a cloud of smoke. You could see from their faces they were quite put off. Some held their breath as they walked past the smoke."
Smokers were no longer allowed to light up outside the restaurant and had to move further down the footpath for a cigarette.
He had removed ashtrays from outdoor tables and erected "no smoking" signs. Some angered customers had been verbally abusive. "They think they have the right to smoke wherever they want."
The only downside was cleaning up cigarette butts on the footpath outside the restaurant - up to 60 butts on busy nights, he said.
"At the start we were afraid it would be hard on the business but on the whole customers like a smokefree environment."
Marlborough Smokefree Coalition health promoter Cynthia de Joux said there was starting to be a groundswell of support for smokefree spaces, helped by a generational shift in attitudes.

Gonnella Bakery has settled with Mexican workers at its plant in Aurora who claimed they were harassed because of their national origin.
The workers said one manager often made derogatory comments about Mexican workers and consistently assigned them more difficult duties and work schedules. When workers complained about the harassment, they said the manager responded with more verbal abuse and a series of threats, even telling one woman that if she went to HR with her complaint, she "would be sorry."
Less than two weeks before the case was to go to trial, Gonnella agreed to settle the complaint for $350,000 and enter into a four-year consent decree with the EEOC.
Under the consent decree, the bakery must train its managers about national-origin discrimination and harassment, and must immediately inform the EEOC of any similar complaints.
