OAU Students beat up Student Union President over N2.9 Million bus scandal

It was a free for a all fight scenario on Thursday over controversies, surrounding the purchase of a bus worth N2.5 million by the Student Union of Obafemi Awolowo University, which was to be used as a commercial tr‎ansport shuttle around the university.

According to PREMIUM TIMES, findings showed that claims by the union’s Financial Secretary, Omisakin Kehinde, that the bus was purchased for N2.9 million did not tally with the actual value of N2.5 million written on the receipt.

The union had to change their narration on the purchase upon the discovery, accepting that it paid only N2.5 million for the bus. The President of the union, Oyekan Ibukun, called a congress on Thursday, following the demand of students asking to be addressed on the issues.

He was however ruffled when it was demanded that he step aside from presiding over the congress in view of the allegations against his leadership.

Mr. Ibukun rebuffed the move, resulting in a fight among the students.

The students fought in different locations within the campus, while Mr. Ibukun was beaten up with his clothes torn in shreds.

The wild fight could not be curtailed by the university’s security team, as they watched helplessly the parade of the union president by students who accused him of fraud in the bus purchase.

“Lots of aberration have been committed by the president and I am not even aware of the bus scandal. Iwas not notified before the bus was bought,” the Speaker of the Students Representative Council, Falaye Tope, said, while reacting to the crisis. “I am not responsible for the crisis. It is beyond me, as you can see, I have not intervened in it all.”

The president and the speaker had been at loggerheads before the incident.

The testimony below which caused the rumors, was a testimony from one of his followers. It reads;

Thank You Jesus!

We cancel that appointment with death.

#####Good morning,I just want to use this opportunity to thank God and share my testimony with you.

On the 28th of June I was on my way home from the last halleluyah praise challenge night which took place at the glitz event centre, I was inside a car and another car ran into us just at the lekki 3rd round about (ikate) and my car somersaulted inside the roundabout.

People were scared that we were dead. The only thing I remembered saying last was the Blood of Jesus. I and the driver came out alive without a single scratch. The most amazing thing is that this happened two days to my birthday.

I just want to bless God because the devil failed. He is the olowogbogboro indeed and I bless his name.

Man Kills Wife After Failing To Sexually Satisfy Her

A man from the Gwanda area of Zimbabwe, identified as Ndabayezulu Ncube, who reportedly refused to improve his s*xual prowess which resulted in his wife, Nokuthula Khumalo, deciding to stop having s*x with him, has done the unthinkable.

According to a report by B-Metro, the angry man whose wife refused to have s*x with because he can’t send her to cloud-nine, reportedly struck her twice on the face with a hoe and she died on the spot.

It was gathered that shocking events leading to her death are that the couple had an argument because Ncube was allegedly a flop in bed yet he kept demanding s*x time over and over again.

While speaking with a correspondent, an eyewitness and neighbour said; “The couple had arguments and fights in the past days because Ncube’s wife was always complaining that he could not satisfy her in bed, so maybe she thought it was wise for her not to sleep with him totally,” said the source.

Gwanda police spokesperson, Philisani Ndebele confirmed the incident and said; “On 19 June a man called Ndabayezulu attacked and struck his wife two times with a hoe on her face leading to her death after she deprived the killer of conjugal rights. He is remanded to 20 July where he will appear in court for trial,” he said.

Lady Gives Sordid Narration of How Her Pastor Lured Her Into Prostitution

Men of the Edo State Police Command arrest notorious human trafficker, Vivian Ehioze, her brother, Pastor Endurance Ehioze, of Heavenly Ambassadors Ministries Inc,  both specialises in  trafficking of young girls from Benin City to Russia for prostitution.

Endurance who is based in Benin reportedly use the Church as a fertile ground to lure young girls in search of greener pastures into prostitution with the collaboration of the sister in Russia.

One of their victims, a 24-year-old girl gave a narration of how her pastor at the lured her into prostitution.

The lady identified as Florence, a former stylist, dancer and singer while at the church located at Isihor on the Benin-Lagos Expressway in Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo State, said she was tricked while she was 18 years old by Pastor Endurance Eghoze.

According to NewsTelegraph, Florence said Endurance told her to travel to meet his sister based in Russia with the hope of assisting her to look for a greener pasture overseas but ended up in the web of street hawkers there.

She said she worked tirelessly by satisfying several men for four years (2013 to 2017) to pay an agreed sum of $45,000 (about N17.1 million) to her ‘Madam’ and trafficker, Ms. Vivian Eghoze, who later dumped her on the streets of Russia before she was deported home in February.

Recounting her experience, Florence said,

“It all started in 2012 when a member of my church at Isihor, a P called me that he wants to see me in church, so I went. He asked me if I will like to travel out and I told him yes but that I don’t have money and assured me that the money wasn’t a problem”

“He said his sister based in Russia will take me abroad. And I agreed. He said in less than two months I will be able to pay up the money my madam will spend and that since am a hair stylist and singer I will make it. Later I was introduced to the sister abroad who called me, her name is Vivian Ehioze she lived in Russia. I had to borrow money to do my passport. She keeps calling and assuring me that all will be well.  I was made to take oath of allegiance”

“As part of oath of allegiance they took hair from my pubic, nails which they kept and said whenever I finished payment I would be free from any evil attack”

Operatives of the state police command have arrested Vivian and her brother, Endurance following a tip-off by an Edo-based Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), Initiative for Youths Awareness on Migration, Immigration, Development and Reintegration (IYAMIDR).

When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Moses Nkombe, confirmed their arrest, saying, “The matter is being investigated by the police.”

Florence, who has been reunited with her family, is begging for urgent assistance from good-spirited individuals and government, adding that in addition to paying her ‘madam’ the huge sum, she is also battling to save herself from a mysterious ailment.

Vivian and Endurance have allegedly trafficked over 45 girls for prostitutions overseas in a daily torment of satisfying ‘customers’ in the cold night without anything to show for their years of enslavement.

According to victims, their parents and relations wallow in hunger, poverty and emptiness except for the lavish lifestyles of their hosts and their exotic cars and eye-pooping mansions.

Another Lady recounts her terrible experience with the same Uber driver was accused of attempting to rape another lady

Recall, we brought you reports concerning An Instagram user, Ann who shared the profile of an Uber Driver who allegedly attempted to forcefully have sexual relations with her after she entered his cab and put him on blast Earlier today.

After reading the story, another lady named Helena Nelson who hails from Ugep in Cross-river State, took to her Facebook page to narrate her terrible experience with him.

Read her story and be marveled:

“I’ve wanted to talk about this since Monday but due to my birthday matter, I completely forgot until I stumbled on a post about a certain Uber driver I rode with on Monday.

I had an audition Monday morning at Hi-tech estate after Abraham Adesanya.

I requested for an Uber and he stopped by 10 minutes later. Only for me to get to the car and I found a woman in the front seat.

I was confused, was this his rider? Why is she still in the car and I asked him.
He said she was his sister and he wanted to drop her off at Omole.

I was like “Bros, Omole is a long way from Adeniyi Jones and I’m going to Sangotedo in ajah. He now asked if his ‘sister’ could ride with us to ajah that she was bored at home and she didn’t want to stay alone.

I was angry and late for my audition but I decided to ride with them.

Somehow in the car I dozed off for a bit only to wake up to people shouting. He was quarreling with his ‘sister’ turned wife who was angry that he kept checking on me in the rear view mirror.

She said she was tired of his ashawo ways and that’s why she must be in the car for all his trips today.

I was amazed. I was angry. And I was late. So I didn’t say a word to them I just pretended to sleep until we got to ajah round about.

Now he claimed he knew his way and was following the map but before I could say ‘jack’ he entered Badore.

What concerns Badore with Sangotedo? He said that was the direction. I told him to go the other way and the next thing I knew he became very rude.

I swallowed everything because you all know how far Sangotedo is from Adeniyi Jones and I didn’t want to start requesting another Uber.

I got to my destination and rated him 2 star.

15 minutes into finishing my audition I requested an Uber to take me to Lekki Leisure Lake. It was him again and I had no idea!

By the time I’d finished my audition I discovered he was no where near me yet.

He was coming from Awoyaya but he’d started my trip already.

I was shocked. I called him and he said he was almost where I was. I didn’t say anything o.

I even surprised myself that day because the normal me will not take such nonsense at all.

Besides it was Sangotedo, before I’ll get another Uber that will take me to Lekki eh, e fit reach night and I didn’t want to take any chances.

It took him almost 20 minute to get to me and he started lying that he’d been waiting for me.

I got to the car and I met his wife again! Haa!
This one strong.

I entered and he said he wanted to start the trip. I’m like what trip? Trip you started over 20.minjtes ago? He said my statement was implicating.

I’m like but it’s the truth. I told him I was going going to Lekki Leisure Lake and I didn’t know my way, he started going towards Awoyaya again!

Ol’boy! I wan crase o. But I still kept calm. Jesus will be proud of me dah!
Half way back to Lekki he suggested I have lunch with him and his wife as compensation.

I told him not to worry. When I got to my destination I went my way. I made sure to rate him 1 star this time. I was too forgetful to even remember to write Uber about my experience.

Only for me to see this today!?
Haaaaa!

Woman Who Bragged About Making Six-Figure Income On Facebook Shot Dead Hours Later

A woman may have been killed after posting on Facebook late Wednesday night that in just two years she went from being homeless to earning a six-figure income.

That public pride, relatives fear, may have led to Maeva Jenkins’ shooting death barely two hours after she wrote the post.

Just after 2 a.m. Thursday, a masked person knocked on Jenkins’ door, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office. When she opened the door, the intruder forced his way inside, leading to an altercation with Jenkins, who was shot. The suspect fled in the family’s vehicle and ditched it nearby, authorities said.

Jenkins, who has three children ranging in age from 1 to 12, was rushed to a hospital where she died.

Shortly before midnight, Jenkins, 33, wrote, “I’m in awe of how far I’ve come.” She posted a photo of a conversation she had years ago with a woman who reached out to her about her business plans. Jenkins asked the woman about Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University, which was offered through her church. But, she couldn’t afford it at the time.

“Fast forward to now: We overcame being homeless in 2013/2014 to reaching my six figure mark in 2015 to now making multi six figures. No matter what the road looked like, I followed my heart and stuck with it growing my business. I’m saying this to say, anyone can do it. It takes determination and consistency,” she wrote.

“It should be between a man and a woman,” Merkel votes against, as Germany legalises gay marriage

 Germany legalises gay marriageGermany’s parliament voted on Friday (June 30) to legalise gay marriage after Chancellor Angela Merkel did an about-face that freed members of conservative party to vote their “conscience” rather than follow party lines.

Norbert Lammert, president of the parliament, said 393 lawmakers voted to approve the amendment, while 226 voted against and four abstained.

Merkel, who will seek a fourth term in a national election on Sept 24, said on Friday she voted against the Bill given her personal view that marriage should be between a man and a woman, but she hoped parliament’s approval of the measure would lead to more social cohesion.

“For me, marriage in the Basic Law is marriage between a man and a woman and that is why I did not vote in favour of this bill today,” she told reporters moments after the 393-266 vote in favour of an amendment that will legalise same-sex marriage.

“I hope that the vote today not only promotes respect between different opinions but also brings more social cohesion and peace,” she added. Many other European countries, including France, Britain and Spain, have already legalised same-sex marriage.

22-year old Nigerian corper to earn $1M selling ads on a website with no content

A 22-year old Nigerian corp member serving in Abuja, Adesokan Ayotunde, has launched a website he calls crazynotstupid.com, that sells 1,000,000 pixels of ad space for $1 each and so far he’s made $800 having sold 800 pixels.

Imagine a TV channel that shows nothing but commercials. Apparently, quirky crazynotstupid.com is not the first, he said only conceived and sold from a different close.

Crazynotstupid.com has a grid of 10,000 boxes, each 100 pixels (10 X 10) in size, customers can place advertising logos on the purchased space, linking web users to their own websites.

The aim of site is to sell all of the pixels in the image and if he does succeed, he would rake in $1million (#320,000,000).

In my opinion, you know Nigerians like crazy ideas, I believe it is crazy enough to work. If this captures people’s imagination and they check out the site, then the pixels on the site will have value and people will buy them (to display their adverts), that’s the idea anyway.

The way I see it though he’s got nothing to lose, he’d probably spent just about N30k bucks to set up the site and I’m sure it should be fun.

“Mercy Johnson & I Lived Together For 2 Years Before We Got Married” – Husband, Prince Odi

Mercy Johnson & I Lived Together For 2 YearsMercy Johnson’s husband Prince Okojie, opened up into his premarital relationship with the star actress. He revealed that himself and her lived together for two years before getting married and as a result of this they don’t quarrel very often

.

He said;

“Prior to our marriage, I’d known my wife for three years; we actually met in 2008. We started living together in 2009 and we got married in 2011. It’s been God all the way, there’s no miracle or anything much, it’s just been God. 

With marriage break-ups and celebrity dramas, I think it depends on what one wants.
For me, when I met my wife, I knew she was the one for me. The love, the affection and the tender care are all present, and although we might have some misunderstanding but when we sleep over it, we move on.


“And as a result of this, we don’t quarrel often. When we do, we learn from it and move to the next level. I have a very big house, my wife has a very big room and so do I, but she has never spent the night in her room for one day.”
Sometimes when I tease her and say ‘go to your room’, she tells me ‘this is our room not your room’ and so most times we are always together. 

I have never experienced anything like this, my marriage to her is so sweet and I’m enjoying it to the fullest.
Like I said, I won’t give the kudos to man but to God Almighty who has kept us in happiness, in peace and in harmony.”

Joy Odama died of carbon monoxide poisoningDespite the autopsy report saying Joy Odama died of carbon monoxide poisoning, the police will still prosecute Alhaji Usman Adamu.

Her family alleged the 200 level student of Cross River State University of Science and Technology was  murdered by one Alhaji Usman on December 20, 2016 at his guesthouse in Karmo, a community it he Federal Capital Territory.

Addressing journalists at the Force headquarters on Thursday in Abuja, the police spokesman Jimoh Moshood, who failed to parade the suspect contrary to the usual practice,argued that the report did not exonerate the suspect..

According to Punch, a lawyer to the Odama family, Ikechukwu Maduile, said

“It’s what we have been saying that the police are merely trying to cover up the case. If they said Joy died of carbon monoxide poisoning, then they do not need to prosecute the suspect? Why would they prosecute him for an accident that he was not responsible for?
“We reject the report of the police categorically. They didn’t invite or inform us about the press briefing in the case or the family. Who are they holding brief for?”

Meet the 50 year old man whose growth process stopped at age 5

There was no difference between Basori Lal and his peers when he was a toddler but the story changed after he turned 5 years old.

At that age, his family noticed that he had stopped growing but were too poor to seek medical attention for him.

Hence, there was no hope of finding out why he has a stuned growth process.

As reported by MailOnline, Basori was never given a medical diagnosis, and to this day, his relatives have no idea what caused him to be so short.

His 55-year-old elder brother, Gopi Lal, said:

“Nobody was able to take him to a doctor. We are poor people, I am a labourer. Where would I take him?”

As Basori grew older, he encountered some tough times and experienced some bullying in his village, but thankfully, those days are past.

Basori, who is never married because he has no inclination for it, said,

“People used to bully me a lot. They used to call me an alien. But that time is gone now. I am the only one who is being loved by the villagers.”

Now, at the age of 50, Basori lives with his brother Gopi and Gopi’s wife, Satia.

The 50-year-old works in a factory with his relatives, and says he enjoys a glass of whiskey every night before bed.

Evans seeks N300m in damages as he files fresh suit against police

Kidnap kingpin, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike alias Evans, on Thursday, has again dragged the Inspector General of Police, and three others before a Federal High Court in Lagos over his alleged illegal detention.

The notorious kidnapper filed a fresh suit where he is seeking N300 million for general and exemplary damages against the police for alleged illegal detention and unconstitutional media trial.

Joined as respondents in his new originating motion are the Nigeria Police Force, the Commissioner of Police Lagos State and the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Lagos State Police Command.

Evans had on June 28 filed an ex parte application with reference number FHC/L/CS/1012/2017, before the same court, seeking an order directing the respondents to charge him to court or release him unconditionally where no charge is preferred against him.

In an affidavit deposed to by his father, Mr Stephen Onwuamadike, it was averred that the applicant has been subjected to media trial without any court order by the respondents.

SEE ALSO: Notorious Billionaire Kidnapper, Evans to Face Death Penalty

Onwuamadike further averred that the media trial and news orchestrated by the respondents have continued to generate reactions in both print and electronic media without his son being afforded fair hearing before a court of law.

Evans contended that his continued detention by the respondents since June 10, without a charge, or release on bail , is an infringement on his fundamental rights.

In his new suit also marked FHC/L/CS/1012/ 2017 and with the same persons as respondents, the applicant is seeking a declaration that his continued detention since June 10 without arraignment, violates his fundamental rights as guaranteed under the 1999 Constitution. He is also seeking a declaration that his parade on June 11 before journalists in Lagos, at the Lagos Police Command Headquarters in Ikeja, without any court order, is unconstitutional and illegal .

He is consequently, seeking an order, compelling the respondents to immediately arraign him before a law court, or release him from custody forthwith. ‘Evans’’ is also seeking an order, compelling the respondents to jointly and severally, pay him the sum of N300 million as exemplary damages for illegal detention and alleged harm caused by the alleged media trial.

The suspect is also seeking an order of perpetual injunction, restraining the respondents from further arresting, detaining, harassing, investigating or inviting him in relation to the facts of his case. He is also seeking further orders as the court may deem fit, to make in the circumstances. No date has been fixed for hearing in his latest suit.
