How My Girlfriend And Her Boss Was Scam Yesterday....

GOT THIS FROM A READER...

I received a call from my Girlfriend explaining how she and her boss was scam.

The boss asked her to change some dollars to Naira in the bank,which she did dutifully, fortunately the boss met her in bank after she has concluded the transaction and they both left the banking hall together. 

On their way out they met a woman who asked them for a lift and being a good Nigerian the boss gave the woman a lift but on their way the so called lady started asking the man for money and the man refused but after much pressure from the woman he gave the woman a #500 note, the woman collected the money and still ask for more saying the man is more than that and she knows they are just coming from the bank, the boss then asked this my girlfriend to give the woman #1000 note and collected the #500 from her.

 She did and the woman later told my Girlfriend that she should make sure she put the money she return to her,which was the #500 note inside the brown envelope containing the remaining money, this she did.

 Not quite long the lady alighted from the car and they continue their journey,but on the way the boss saw an LG product he has been looking for and he decided to purchase it using the money he got from the bank,but he received the shock of his life as the over THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND has turn to the most lower denomination in our country which is #5 and #10. According to what she told me, the boss fainted at the spot and as am writing this now he is still in shock and he is hospitalised.

Is there anybody who has experienced this before and how can people detect this people that took scamming as their job.
I know some people did not believe in JAZZ but my people JAZZ is real....

So Painful: Tanker driver burnt to death in road accident

A tanker driver conveying petrol to an unknown destination was on Saturday burnt to death in a road mishap that occurred at the Ovia River head bridge along Benin-Ore-Lagos express road.

Three vehicles including a heavy duty tow truck belonging to the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) were burnt.

The fire was still on as at press 3.28pm on Saturday.

Officials of the FRSC had to divert motorists going and returning from Lagos to link Benin City through Iguobazuwa road at Okada junction.

Edo Sector Commander of the FRSC, Familoni Oluwasusi, said the fire occurred when the tanker fully loaded with fuel hit the tow truck used for clearing two previous accidents on the road.

Familoni said the tanker driver lost control despite diversion and obstruction placed on the road to warn motorists that its officials were clearing vehicles involved in multiple accidents.

He said a truck conveying diesel fell on the road on Friday evening and after it was partially cleared, two other vehicles had accident almost at the same spot.

The Edo FRSC boss stated that it was in the process of clearing the vehicles that the tanker driver rammed into the two trucks and caused the fire.

He said his men escaped with injuries but the tanker driver was not lucky.

According to him, “His corpse is still burning and clearing of obstruction is ongoing. The injured has been taken to the hospital for treatment.

“Patrol team blocked the road to remove a crashed truck when the trailer carrying fuel lost control and hit the FRSC two truck which resulted in fire outbreak,” he said.

Buhari will put an end to unemployment, insurgency

Abubakar Yabo

Alhaji Abubakar Yabo, an All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, on Saturday in Sokoto expressed optimism that President Muhammadu Buhari would implement populist programmes and policies.

He said such programmes would redirect the energies of the youths for national development and address social vices.

Yabo told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) tha the intervention of Buhari on the political scene would soon put an end to mass unemployment, kidnapping, insurgency, armed robbery and other crimes.

“Buhari has the political will to make things better for Nigerians,’’ he said.

The APC chieftain believed that focusing on youths would address the various challenged facing them.

“The people-oriented programmes that will soon be unfolded by the president has become necessary as the country has a large percentage of unemployed youths.’’

Yabo believed that the potential of the nation’s future leaders should be harnessed for the development of democracy and the economy.

He called for prayers for God’s intervention in the socio-economic and political spheres of the country.

“Prayers and support of Nigerians will ensure peaceful implementation of the government programmes at all levels.

“Buhari has the experience and knowledge to make things better for Nigerians irrespective of tribe, religious and political differences”.

Nigerian Pastor TB Joshua reacts to Gay Law passed in the USA

Various reactions have come in the wake of America formally legalising gay marriage across the entirety of its borders but one of the most unusual has sprung from a popular Nigerian cleric.

After the historic announcement, T.B. Joshua tweeted a YouTube video showing a young man allegedly receiving ‘deliverance’ from a ‘homosexual demon’. 

The clip titled, ‘Deliverance From Homosexual Demon’ shows a Nigerian from Imo State who identified himself as ‘Tedus’ receiving prayer at the church of T.B. Joshua in Lagos, Nigeria.

“I made him gay; I made him love men,” the young man says after being questioned by one of Joshua’s ministers, the clip clarifying that it was an ‘evil spirit’ speaking, which was allegedly behind his homosexual tendencies.

Tedus is subsequently ‘delivered’ and later shares his experiences about how the ‘devil’ of homosexuality had possessed him.

He narrated how, upon his return from a business trip in Asia, he had lodged in a hotel in Kenya where he met some male friends who suggested they go for a swim in the hotel pool.

“After swimming, I went back to my room and had a dream,” Tedus recounted. “I dreamt where I saw myself swimming in the same pool with naked men. When I woke up, I felt as if something entered into me. I started having passion for men.”

Upon returning to Cameroon where he was based, Tedus ‘sacked’ his fiancé without any explanation. “I had no passion for her anymore – no more affection. She was astonished and asked so many questions which I couldn’t abswered. On the internet, I discovered so many things on gay websites and began downloading gay pornography. That’s how it started.”

According to Tedus, he saw his newfound homosexual lifestyle as ‘normal’ until his pastor in the church where he worked as a translator called him aside privately. “He told me that I had to go to Nigeria to The SCOAN and that I needed deliverance.”

Tedus reluctantly agreed. After making the journey in December 2013, when the time arrived for people to receive prayer in the church service, he described a sense of anger welling within him as one of Joshua’s pastors approached.

“When he prayed for me, I lost control,” he described. “I knew I was talking but I never knew what I was saying.”

Since receiving prayer, Tedus testified that all homosexual feelings have left him. “Those feelings for men are no longer there; I have real passion for the opposite sex. I couldn’t control the former passion.”

The clip then jumps to almost one year later where Tedus returns, this time with a young lady whom he introduced as his fiancé.

“The Bible says that a man ought to be with a woman. After my deliverance, I travelled to Imo State and there I met this wonderful lady and proposed to her,” he said, with a large smile, testifying that is life has changed ‘tremendously’ since receiving prayer.

“My advice is that if you come across somebody that may be having the same problem, you shouldn’t criticise them but rather pray for them,” he said.

“People just believe it’s a normal thing; it’s not just ordinary. There is a force or spirit behind it. The only way out of this is deliverance. It is like a virus. Once it gets into you, it is only deliverance from Jesus Christ that can get you out of it.”

In his comments, T.B. Joshua quoted Matthew 7:1, stating that Christians should ‘talk salvation, not condemnation’.

“God hates sin, not sinners,” he insisted. “When I say, 'Do not judge so that you will not be judged', I mean we should hate sin, not the sinner because sinners can change. If you have killed a sinner by judging him, there will be no opportunity for change. Sinners can be delivered. We should hate the act, not the people because our battle is not against flesh and blood but against the 'spirit beings' that cause all these acts.”

He then went further to clarify his stance: “The Bible is my standard. If my parents were one, I would not have been given birth to.”

One dead in accident involving FRSC vehicle

A towing truck belonging to the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, and two other vehicles were burnt in an auto crash that involved a tanker on the Benin-Ore Road.

The FRSC Sector Commander in Edo, Oluwasusi Familoni, who confirmed the accident in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Saturday in Benin, said the driver of the tanker was also burnt to death.

He said that the inferno started when the tanker loaded with petrol lost control and rammed into the FRSC truck and two other vehicles that were being towed from an accident scene on the Benin-Ore road.

“The tanker driver was burnt to death while the driver of the towing truck sustained injuries.

“There was no casualty recorded in the auto crash involving the two vehicles that were being towed by the truck,” the commander said.

He said that the towing truck, which cost about N100 million was donated by the World Bank to the commission in 2014.

Anytime I Sleep With Her, I Receive Strange Knock On My Head —husband

A middle-aged woman, Sophia Arapogun, has prayed an Agege customary court to dissolve her 11-year-old marriage because her husband, Patrick, abandoned her for two years.

Mrs Arapogun, who lives with her husband and his six children from his previous marriage, said he never asked her how she fed.

“My husband buys foodstuffs for his children and asks them to keep them in their room. He never asked what I needed at a particular moment and we lived together,” she said.

The petitioner said her husband came home at a time to sprinkle something that looked like blood all over the house, adding that she worked as a clerical officer in her husband’s hospital.

She said: “I used to package melon to sell in neighbouring markets but since my husband didn’t like the idea, he employed me in his hospital. There was a day I took N300 to take passport photograph, he shouted at me in the presence of his children and I felt humiliated. I was more shocked when he made sure I refunded the money.”
She is seeking an accommodation from him as compensation if her petiton is granted.

Patrick said he married her because he heard a pathetic story about her, adding: “I asked if she had any evil spirit or medical problems which didn’t make her conceive during her two previous marriages but she said no; then I married her.”
The respondent, a doctor, said after their marriage, he discovered that three minutes after making love to her, he got a knock on his head.

“Not only did I get a knock, whenever I had the intention of sleeping with her, I would discover rashes on my manhood or my manhood would be twisted. At times, I would not get Attention or my sperm ceases. Since then, I became afraid of everything,” Arapogun said.

He said his hospital crumbled after his wife began to work with him, adding that she stole money on several occasions.

“When we lived together, there were times my wife left the bedroom and returned in the morning without any explanation. Our union is bad omen. I have suffered from swollen legs, slight stroke and it was when I realised my wife defecates in the bucket I used to bathe that I decided to leave with my children because I was not ready to die young and I don’t know what was going to happen next,” he said. The couple has no issue.

President of the court, Pa Adekunle Williams, ordered the petitioner to maintain the peace and adjourned the matter till July 13 for further hearing

Lagos Govt demolishes SURE-P office

The Lagos State Government on Saturday demolished the headquarters of the Subsidy Re-investment and Empowerment Programme (SURE-P) Taskforce at the old gate on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

SP Hakeem Adedeji, the Chairman of the State Taskforce on Environmental and Special Offences, told newsmen that the demolition was carried out on the orders of of the state government.

“The reason for the demolition is to the best knowledge of the governor because he was the one who directed that the buildings should be pulled down in the interest of the public,’’ he said.

Adedeji said he believed Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode must have issued the directive based on the abandonment of the building and its conversion to a hideout by miscreants.

“On getting here, we could not find any Federal Government official inside the building, rather, we found street urchins.

“There is need to avoid that and that is why we believe that if the building is demolished, no one will use it as a hideout,’’ he said.

The chairman noted that the structure ought to have been demolished since June 22, but that due process had to be followed before carrying out the demolition.

“All these are geared towards ensuring that the rights of the citizens are not infringed upon.’’

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that earlier in the year, former Gov. Babatunde Fashola wrote to former President Goodluck Jonathan over the presence of the officials, who claimed to have been set up by the Presidency, to publicly state their functions.

The debris and heaps of documents used by the agency were evacuated from the site.

How a Lorry killed 11 people in Nasarawa

A lorry driver hit a group of people gathered by the roadside killing 11 of them instantly. A witness said the driver lost control of his vehicle while driving on the wrong side of the road.
The accident occurred on Thursday evening in Gora Village of Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State. The village is located along the Abuja-Keffi Expressway.

A witness, Bashir Isa, informed us that the driver was transporting sand and heading towards Keffi Town but had to make a swift U-turn after learning that armed robbers had barricaded the road ahead of him.

“He turned back and was driving against traffic, the area was on a slope and it appeared the Tipper’s break failed and he lost control and rammed into the large gathering of people by the roadside,” the witness said.

He said residents of the village often gather by the roadside in the evenings, with some selling their wares and many more chatting in separate groups.

“We have seen a lot of accidents in this village, but that of Thursday is very unfortunate. Most of the victims remains were not gathered in their complete form as they lost various limbs after the lorry crushed them,” he said.

Mr. Isa said Muslim victims of the accident were buried on Friday morning, while families of the Christian victims have taken the corpses of their relatives for funeral service and internment possibly on Sunday.

He also said he could not confirm the whereabouts of the driver. He said the lorry is still at the scene of the accident.

Mr. Isa also recalled that a similar accident occurred in Gora Village last year in which 8 women were killed.

“They boarded a pick up vehicle and were on their way to a nearby village for a wedding ceremony when an oncoming vehicle travelling speedily rammed into their vehicle killing 8 of them instantly,” he said.

Osun LG Workers Receive March, April Salaries

THE Local Government Workers in Osun State have started to collect their March and April 2015 salaries.

The alerts for the payment have started coming in from Friday June 26, 2015 afternoon.

Investigation conducted by Daily Independent showed that local government workers were paid their February salary last.

It was also gathered that workers in others categories in the state would get their payment early next week starting from Monday June 29, 2015 as promised by Governor Rauf Aregbesola.

Impeccable sources in the state revealed that labour unions rejected the option by the government to pay them two to three months and return to their duties posts.

They insisted that they (workers) would collect nothing less than five months salaries before they would call off the on-going strike in the state.

The State Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Jacob Adekomi, was said to have handed down the decision during a meeting with government officials in the state.

But, the government made it clear that there was no way it could raise five months salaries at once presently, and that payment had to be gradual.

State Police Command Arrests Fake Policeman

The Delta State Police Command on Saturday said it had arrested a suspected impostor, Mathew Ochoche, who had been parading himself as a police corporal in the state.

The Command spokesperson,DSP Celestina Kalu, who disclosed this in a press statement in Asaba on Saturday, said the suspected impostor was nabbed while escorting a vehicle loaded with industrial machinery in Warri.

The statement reads in part: “Police patrol team attached to Quick Response Squad, Warri, intercepted a Ford Transit van with Reg. No. (Lagos) EPE 790 XH, on June 25.

“The vehicle was loaded with fairly used Mikano SP 20 generator and Denyo Daw-18083.0 KVA welding machine.

“The vehicle was being escorted by one Ochoche Matthew ‘m’ who was fully dressed in police uniform with F/No. 255038 and Cpl. rank.’’

It said preliminary investigation revealed that Ochoche, who claimed to be a serving policeman attached to No. 20 Squadron, Police Mobile Force, Lagos, was demobilised from the force on July 18, 2011.

Ochoche, it added, was arrested for impersonation, was undergoing investigation and the vehicle and the goods he was escorting had been impounded as exhibits.

Saraki: Why I Ignored party directive

Bukola Saraki: my hands are tied by Senate rules

The Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, has given reasons why he could not comply with the directive of his party, the All Progressives Congress, over the selection of the principal officers of the senate.

In a letter dated 25 June and addressed to party chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun, Saraki claimed the AP directive arrived too late as the senate caucuses from the various geo-political zones had already taken decisions on who should occupy the various offices.

The APC in a letter written by Oyegun and dated 23 June had nominated Ahmad Lawan as senate majority leader, George Akume as deputy majority leader, Olusola Adeyeye as chief whip, and Abu Ibrahim as deputy chief whip.

However, Saraki, on Thursday, 25 June announced Ali Ndume as majority leader, Bala Na’Allah as deputy majority leader and Francis Alimikhena as deputy chief whip after the various APC senate caucuses nominated them. Senator Sola Adeyeye, whose zone supported as chief whip, was not announced as the South West zone insisted on following the spirit of the party’s directive.

Saraki’s letter read: “The said letter (Oyegun’s letter) was received after various APC zonal caucuses had taken their decisions to candidates as principal officers of the senate in line with parliamentary convention and the extant provisions of the senate standing orders 2015 as amended.”

“Furthermore, whilst one is strongly persuaded to toe party line and act in accordance with the suggested party position, regrettably clear provisions of our extant rules and standard parliamentary convention have not given me that leeway to act otherwise.

“Therefore, my hands are tied in the circumstances and I seek your understanding in this regard.”

He claimed that he remains “loyal to our great party and its leadership and also fully committed to the change agenda of the Mr. President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

It is not clear how far Saraki’s explanation, after the act, would mollify outraged leaders of the party, who had been bewildered by Saraki’s serial rebellion and undermining of the doctrine of party supremacy.

His explanation also distorted the chronology of the events.

After the APC governors came out to back the party on upholding party supremacy, the party chairman wrote Saraki and the House Speaker, Yakubu Dogara, in letters dated 23 June spelling out the elected members who should occupy the various positions left to be filled , in the aftermath of the June 9 rebellion.

But Saraki and Dogara refused to admit the APC letters on 24 June.

Various reports then indicated that the zonal caucuses actually met on the same day to undermine the APC order to its rebellious members in the Upper Chamber.

On 25 June, Saraki went ahead to read the names of the selected members according to what he called the desires of the ‘zonal caucuses’. A move by pro-party elements in the House of Representatives to fulfil the party position led to the shameful fracas in the plenary of the House on 25 June, with members slugging it out with fists and throwing available chairs.

Both chambers have now been adjourned till 21 July.

The Aridolf hotel in Yenagoa that is Allegedly Owned By First Lady Patience Jonathan is an unlikely monument to kitsch on a reclaimed swamp in Nigeria’s oil-producing Niger delta……

The Aridolf hotel in Yenagoa is an unlikely monument to kitsch on a reclaimed swamp in Nigeria’s oil-producing Niger delta. In the lobby, Louis XIV furniture is accompanied by bowls of plastic fruit, faux Dutch landscapes and a grotesquely gaudy chandelier. The hotel Is redolent of the riches on display in a region that for half a century has generated the bulk of Nigeria’s wealth. 

Only a decade and-a-half ago there was just one petrol pu mp in Bayelsa state, which produced a quarter of Nigeria’s 2m barrels per day of oil, and Yenagoa, the state capital, was a string of tin-roofed shacks. Resentment at the region’s under-development erupted in violence, with militants blowing up pipelines and kidnapping oil workers. 

Today, Yenagoa is a sprawling construction site. But the Aridolf, which is owned by Patience Jonathan, wife of the outgoing president, is symptomatic of how superficial progress has been in addressing the festering sense of marginalisation in the region, which remains desperately impoverished despite benefi ting from a tide of petrodollars in recent years.

How APC crisis is solidifying Buhari

Despite the seeming drift in the top leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC neither President Muhammadu Buhari nor otherwise neutral top officials of the party will openly intervene normally reliable sources in the party have disclosed.

The hesitance of the president, Saturday Vanguard gathered is also coming in the light of a strong division in the National Working Committee, NWC of the party as a number of party chieftains are said to have expressed strong reservations on the official positions taken by the party.

A number of party activists also do not want the president to intervene as they believe that the crisis is weakening the hands of the national leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu who has reportedly been steadfast in sticking to the official positions taken by the party.

                 Buhari resumes office at the president’s office inside the Aso Rock villa

After the fracas at the House of Reps

The drift in the party came to a head in the two chambers of the National Assembly on Thursday when the Senate shoved aside the party’s directive on the nomination of principal officers of the Senate and presented senators elected by the party’s different caucuses of the party. The attempt by Speaker Yakubu Dogara to also do a similar thing in the House led to a free for all that inevitably put the party in bad light.

The developments nonetheless, the party on Thursday night stuck to its guns that its nominees must take office as principal officers of the National Assembly.

One reason being given for the president’s reluctance to intervene was his initial pronouncement that he belongs to everybody and belongs to nobody.

“Directly intervening would mean that the president is taking sides with one side,” a source disclosed. Even more, some associates of the president see the ensuring development as playing out positively for the president as the squabble between the party and a prominent national leader on one hand against the National Assembly leaders does not do the president any harm, rather he could benefit from it as it weakens the hands of the national leader,” a source disclosed.

Meanwhile, some top party officials mediating in the crisis, Saturday Vanguard learnt, have also told the president that the crisis could be to his advantage as it is increasingly weakening the hands of Tinubu who is believed to be strongly in favour of the decisions taken by the party leadership.

With the leadership of the Senate and the House of Representatives out of the grip of Tinubu, the national leader of the party, associates who want to build a strong political base for the president say that the developments provide an opportunity for the president to be his own man, cut out of the image of the national leader.

President Buhari had after the election of Saraki and Dogara as Senate President and Speaker respectively said that he would have preferred that the party’s decisions came to fruition, but that he would nevertheless heed the decision taken by the National Assembly.

“The president is trying to be a loyal party man, but this crisis will turn out for his good as it destroys the power base of the national leader (Tinubu) in the National Assembly,” a source privy to the development disclosed on the condition of anonymity.

Some high ranking members of the party, it was learnt, have also tried to sell that idea to the president.

Sources in Abuja also disclosed to Saturday Vanguard that Senator Saraki has had attempted a back-door contact with the president since his emergence.

Speaker Dogara, how-ever, according to a source is yet to do the same essentially because some associates of the president had almost totally destroyed him in the eyes of the president.  Meanwhile, the NWC is said to be divided on the party’s insistence that only those nominated by the party should be appointed as principal officers of the Senate and the House of Repres-entatives.  “We know that they cannot go anywhere with what they are doing and we are just allowing them to go on with what they are doing,” a dissenting member of the NWC said.

This Is Why The House Adjourned Its Sitting – Saraki Explains

Senate President, Bukola Saraki

As the struggle for power in the Nigerian upper chambers ensues, it will amaze you that the House of Representatives also had their own share of the fresh brawl happening in the house, as lawmakers threw caution to the twist and bartered clenched fist for leadership positions.

The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, subsequent to the resettlement of the house postponed plenary till July 21.

Saraki in a statement released on Friday announced that the two committees were given one week to present their reports assuring that the senate will reconvene at any time before the postponed date to reflect on any matter of urgent national importance or to attend to any national assignment requiring its attention.

It would be recalled that the National Assembly (NASS) had slashed its 2015 budget to N120billion from N150billion as a result of deteriorating federal government revenue, which the president of the senate explained was part of the National Assembly’s belt-tightening measures in analysis of the recent economic veracity in the country.
