New Damning Evidence Against Hushpuppi‘s Accomplice, Woodberry Surfaces

According To Naijaloaded, On 3rd December it is reported that Woodberry’s prison cell was searched after intelligence suggested that Woodberry was still conducting criminal activities behind bars.

Woodberry was in possession of a Samsung Galaxy S6 mini smartphone and was found to be communicating with co-conspirators in Dubai, South Africa, Turkey and Nigeria.

Forensic analysis of the seized phone shows Woodberry was orchestrating new financial attacks against US businesses and individuals to help fund his lawyer fees associated with his case.

From chat transcripts Woodberry can be seen demanding payment from conspirators in Turkey who owe him $820,000 from his share in a $2.1 million BEC fraud that is supposed to have taken place in February of this year.

Also, instructions from Woodberry were recovered showing him requesting accomplices to launder Bitcoin accounts from ‘www.walletgrab.to’ Further analysis of the Russian linked website showed hacked Bitcoin accounts of unsuspecting people in Canada and USA.

Bitcoin accounts on the website have balances ranging from $200 – $45,000 and had all the necessary security information to make a successful withdrawal. Officials were able to trace $314,800 accumulated from these hacked Bitcoin wallets directly to Woodberry.

A motion is likely to be put forward to open new criminal charges against Woodberry and with mobile forensic investigations still ongoing, it is possible additional criminal activities will be uncovered also.

An attempt was made to contact Woodberry’s lawyer Micheal B. Nash for comment but have since not received a response.

Nigerian Lady Laments As She Was Asked To Cut Eye-lashes Before Passport Renewal

A Nigerian lady identified as Tiwalola, took to Twitter to narrate how she was asked to cut her eye-lashes before her Nigerian passport could be renewed.

In recent times, many Nigerians have taken to social media to complain about their experiences at various passport offices across the country, and Tiwalola has now joined the growing list.

According to her, despite spending 5 hours of her time at the passport office, trying to get her NIN so as to renew her Nigerian passport, she was sent back home as the staff said they can’t capture her picture cause her lashes weren’t real.

The unnamed staff also suggested that they use a scissors to cut off the lashes so as to allow her capture her picture.

She wrote;

“Waited 5 hours in the passport office to get my NIN and renew my Nigerian passport and when it was time to finally take my picture and go home they said they couldn’t take it because my lashes aren’t real. They said I should bring scissors to cut them”

Tiwalola also further shared a selfie of herself, to allow the public see the lashes which the staff complained about.

Sharing the picture she wrote;

See amazing transformation of young boy branded a witch in Akwa Ibom, shunned and left to die, thrives after testing positive for HIV

Danish aid worker, Anja Ringgren Lovén on Thursday, shared before and after photos of a young boy they rescued in Akwa Ibom on December 2019 after he was branded a witch, shunned and left to die.

Amazing transformation! Young boy branded a witch in Akwa Ibom, shunned and left to die, thrives after testing positive for HIV

The condition of the child was so critical that they feared he won’t survive but one year after his rescue, Saviour Udem is thriving and doing well despite having tested positive for HIV.

Sharing before and after photos of Udem, Ms Loven wrote;

“Exactly a year ago exactly we were called to look at a serious case. A young boy had been spotted along the road and he was in a life-threatening condition,”

”It was just before Christmas and we were all busy decorating Land of Hope for our big Christmas party and suddenly we had to rush and prepare for a rescue mission.

“When we found Saviour he was in serious pain. I was not even sure if he would survive. When I made the update on the day of his rescue I wrote “his condition is critical” and that was because what we worried later turned out to be the case.

Saviour was tested positive for HIV and when infected, most children in Africa die within one year because of the lack of treatment.

Nine out of 10 children aged 0-19 years living with HIV are in Africa and one of the best ways to fight stigma and empower HIV-positive people is by SPEAKING OUT openly and honestly.

For many years we have educated our children about AIDS and they know that HIV does not make people dangerous and together with our staff they are at the forefront in school to enlighten their fellow students not to discriminate people who are HIV-positive.

As Nelson Mandela said: “Let us give publicity to HIV/AIDS and not hide it, because that is the only way to make it appear like a normal illness”.

Saviour was rescued in time and the urgent treatment we gave him saved his life. Today, one year after his rescue Saviour is a very strong and happy child. He loves to go to school and to play football

Saviour is so much enjoying his new life at Land of Hope where he is constantly surrounded by love, care and protection thanks to all for your amazing support.

She said she can give me anything.vWe then enjoyed ourselves,”

“Later the argument continued again because I was hurt, for her to leave me!. That’s how I strangled her neck, till she died. I then hit her with a piece of tree on the head. I don’t believe that she is still alive, if she is alive, then she must thank her God. I hope they will find her body. This is my last call, I hope that you will find my body, my phone is on, and the people who will pick my corpse will communicate. I’m using a small phone, no password…I’m gone!.”

24-year-old Woman attracted to objects, ‘marries briefcase she dated for 5 years’

A 24-year-old Woman, Rain Gordon who claims she’s romantically attracted to objects, has married her briefcase, after dating for five years.

According to Rain, the attraction to objects, started off as mere captivation by objects, and eventually grew into a romantic and sexual attraction.

Rain revealed she got married to the briefcase, who she named Gideon, in a ceremony in June this year.

She noted that although she has had relationships with men in the past, she was always more attracted to objects than to people, and she was always happier in her relationships with objects.

Speaking how she met her “briefcase” lover, she stated that she first met her “future husband” back in August 2015 after purchasing him at a hardware store as a prop for a photoshoot, noting that her relationship with the briefcase became official a few months later in November 2015 and they finally tied the knot in June this year.

She said,

“My fascination with objects began at the age of eight, from my childhood I believed that a soul is embedded in objects, as well as everything around us. I believe in animism, which means that there is life in everything.

“During my childhood and early teenage years, I fell in love with places such as the new shopping center that opened in my city. I knew that it was wrong, and beyond the norms of society. I didn’t tell anyone.”

“I had no idea that we would end up together. I admired how he looked, but I didn’t think anything more.

“But then I started liking Gideon for more than that. I slowly realized I was starting to fall in love.

“I’d want to look at him for hours and feel his presence. After another few months in November the relationship began.

“We shared our first hug and kiss, and we spent more time together in the evenings and nights. We could have philosophical conversations for three or four hours.

“Our spiritual connection and communication is shown telepathically. I hear him, and he hears me, but from the outside it looks like a monologue.

“Gideon is more than just a partner to me. He is a husband, a friend and a mentor.

“His moral support helps me more than anyone else. Sometimes I feel like Gideon knows me better than I do. I am not a strict objectum sexual, and I am not against relationships with people.

“But I have never found myself with a person who could overshadow my attraction and fill my heart in the same way as I feel with Gideon.

“I was with a man in 2017 and the relationship lasted two years, but it did not end well. He discovered my addiction to objects and this was one of the reasons why we broke up.

“I couldn’t connect with him. When faced with a choice between him and Gideon, I chose Gideon without any hesitation.

“I always have and always will choose him. For me, objects – although I don’t really like using that word – really are better than people.”

She noted that she initially kept her relationship with her briefcase away from everyone, but eventually told some of her friends and her brother, who she says have all been very understanding.

Rain and Gideon have special wedding rings with individual engravings on them.

While Rain recognized that the marriage is unofficial and not legalised, she said she is the happiest she has ever been.
