Girl 18, auctioning her virginity to pay for sick mother's medical bills

After a 20-year-old Brazilian auctioned off her virginity three months ago for $780,000, high school student Rebecca Bernardo made the decision she would also offer her deflowering to the highest bidder.

The 18-year-old says she is auctioning off her virginity in an effort to raise money for her ailing mother, who recently suffered a stroke.

After announcing the auction on YouTube, the Sapeacu native, who has so far received three bids, the highest at $35,000, told CNN: 'I made up my mind right after my 18th birthday. That's when my mother suffered a stroke.'The teen says she tried other methods of employment, such a working as a waitress, but the cost of paying for a caretaker to look after her bedridden mother proved too high for her hourly wages.

The stroke left her mother unable to fed herself or go to the bathroom alone. However Miss Bernardo's mother told CNN from her bed that she thinks her daughter 'should look for work.

'She shouldn't prostitute herself,' she said.

Adult prostitution itself, or exchanging sex for money, in Brazil is legal.

Giant campaign posters, announcing President Goodluck Jonathan’s readiness to contest the 2015 presidential election, greeted Nigerians in Abuja, the nation’s capital, as they woke up to savour the dawn of the New Year.

The all-glossy posters, which were strategically posted in the high brow areas of the Federal Capital Territory, did not however indicate the source or the sponsor of the advertisement. When contacted the Political Adviser to the President, Alhaji Ahmed Gulak disowned the posters saying that they did not emanate from the presidency and that “the president has not authorised anybody to print any campaign poster for him as regards 2015 elections”.

He declared that the president has been “pre-occupied with working to fix Nigeria and did not want to be distracted by undue politicking about 2015”.

One of the posters, which had President Goodluck Jonathan’s portrait read, 2015: No vacancy in Aso Rock. Let’s do more. One good term deserves another. Support Dr. Goodluck Azikiwe Jonathan for 2015 Presidency.

The presidential aide further said that the pasting of the posters could be the work of mischief makers who want to deceive Nigerians.

Welcome to 2013, Give Thanks

Happy New Year guys!

Welcome to year 2013. How you start a year is very important both God and yourself. Psalm 100:4 says: “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him,             

  and bless his name.”

If you start with thanks, you will likely end with praise; but if you start with ingratitude or complaints, don’t be surprised if you end with regrets. One way to forestall regret is to be actively engaged in thanksgiving.

In the Bible, we have several situations where thanksgiving was given first place and eventually it gave birth to a glorious outcome. Why? It is because thanksgiving is capable of delivering miracles to thank givers. Let us take Jesus Christ as our example here. After feeding a crowd that thronged Him for three days with the Word of life, the need arose to feed them physically. All that was available were seven loaves of bread and a few little fishes. This was nothing compared to the thousands present. They were no way close to the city where they could buy food, even if they were, it could have cost them so much. So in the midst of lack and gross insufficiency, the lord gave thanks. At the end, everybody was filled and lots of extras remained(Matthew 15:32-38).

Similarly, after Lazarus died and was buried, the lord Jesus was brought to the scene. Four days after his burial, he was already stinking and all hope was lost. Bot on getting to Lazarus’ grave, the Lord engaged in thanksgiving and thereafter, His desired miracle of life was delivered(John 11:38-40). If you can begin each day of this New Year with robust thanksgiving, it will deliver to you your desired miracles. When all efforts fail and when you have a hopeless situation, immediately engage in thanksgiving. When facing a period of inadequacy, try giving thanks to God. Thank God for keeping you from your birth till this day. Thank Him for watching over you and your family. Thank Him for His miraculous interventions in your life. In lack, thank Him for all previous provisions and thank Him for the little you have. Take time to pray and seek His face not asking anything but just thanking Him. He deserves your thanks, and expects it too!
