Ogu kingdom, a community in the Okrika Local Government Area of Rivers State, once again gathered lots of attention on social media over the pictures of its annual Iria festival, a ceremony that ushers in young virgins into womanhood.

Sociopath , often referred to as Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD), is a complex and controversial mental health condition characterized by a persistent pattern of disregard for the rights of others, lack of empathy, and manipulative behavior.

In the past, what is known today as "Sleep Paralysis" is attributed to this, which is when you are asleep and you feel that someone is watching you, but you can't even speak or move, you try but you can't; You scream, you cry, but nobody listens to you.
