Mother lets partner rape her daughters

A mother who could win the 'worst mother in the world' title, pleaded guilty to child sex offences recently for allowing her partner to rape her daughters while pretending to give them sex education.
The two girls went through the trauma of being sexually assaulted for two-and-a-half years.
The 43-year-old woman deliberately led her daughters into a situation where they were abused by the man in her life.
The Australian news website News.com.au reported that one of the girls told the court that once while she was being abused, her mother told her that it didn't matter if she was not in the mood since she would just have to learn 'this stuff'.
The Courier-Mail last month revealed the the 51-year-old stepfather had pleaded not guilty to 23 sex offences, including two counts of maintaining a sexual relationship with a child under 16 and 13 of rape, between March 20, 2005, and October 8, 2008.
The stepfather's lawyers argued in court that he could not have had sex with the girls as he had undergone a major back surgery around the same period and hence it would have been almost impossible for him to exert himself.

Nollywood Twins: We hawked akara,pure water to survive

 It is not always common to see twins  who would want to take the same path in life?
We both went into acting because we loved and wanted to act. Before this time, we sat and talked about it. We knew what we were good at doing and it has being fun. At the moment, we are still on top of our games. Acting is our dream and we are happy doing what  we enjoy doing. So, most times, we act twin roles and twin characters. Nigeria has not really reached the stage where one actor can really act twin roles successfully hence, identical twins in that kind of production saves the day.
Have you in the course of acting done twin roles?
Yes, we have done a lot of twin characters and they were great movies.
Tell us a little about the movies you have done together?
We have done Crazy Twins, Jealous Friends, Desperate Twins, Lagos Girls, Broken Ambition, Revenge of the gods and many others.
