“The young Registrar on call took a blood sample from the man’s child and asked him to take it to the lab. The lab scientists (as they sometimes do) said the sample was inadequate. The man returned angry. “Where is that Dr that is wasting my child’s blood?” Gbas gbas gbos.

A twitter user with handle @NoahTheRastaa has thrown a shot at women in general, claiming that they attach a lot of value to material things in their relationships.

According to him, women are very materialistic when it comes to relationships these days.

Noah made this assertion in reaction to a tweet by a lady with handle @WockWorld where she shared a photo of the money, roses and other gift items her man got for her.

The lady captioned it “Assurance”.

Recall that the term “Assurance” became synonymous with relationships when Nigerian artiste, Davido released a song dedicated to his fiancee, Chioma with the title – assurance.

Reacting to the post, Noah quoted it and wrote,

“Y’all are so materialistic when it comes to relationships these days..”

He, however, clarified that if he is in a relationship with someone that he loves, he wouldn’t mind giving her all that she deserves and more.

Y’all are so materialistic when it comes to relationships these days……. https://t.co/aTpPDhOnQM

Two suspected mobile phone fraudsters who specialize in advertising expensive mobile phones at cheaper prices on a Nigerian online marketplace to lure their buyers to places where they dispossess them of their money in exchange for fake mobile phones, have been arrested by the police.

The suspects, Chukwu – Emeka Ogbona (45) and Olabode Kehinde (34), were arrested at Olowu Street, Ikeja in separate incidents last Wednesday, September 9

According to the police ;

”The suspects, along with other gang members, lure the buyers to locations around Olowu Street and Computer Village, Ikeja, where they fraudulently collect money from the buyers after showing them the real phone but within a twinkle of an eye substitute it with fake Iphone X. The suspects thereafter flee the scene leaving their victims stranded.”

When interrogated, the suspects disclosed that apart from advertising on the Nigerian online marketplace, they also fraudulently sell fake mobile phones on the streets of Computer village to unsuspecting buyers as well as return fake or paper money to their victims after collecting the real money from them.

One of the suspects, Chukwu Emeka Ogbona, said :

”The leader of the gang is Ibrahim. He advertised on jiji.com and supply us with the real Iphone X and the fake Iphone X. The real Iphone X is N240,000 while the fake is an android phone made to look like an Iphone X. It is N30,000.

The Iphone X was advertised for N155,000. The buyer negotiated for N120,000. Knowing what I want to sell to him, I encouraged him to meet me at Olowu after changing meeting locations twice to ensure that we were not being baited by the police.

I showed him the real Iphone X for him to confirm it while the fake was in my back pocket. I took the real one back from him again for us to settle our bargain. Meanwhile, I had arranged with other gang members to come around and distract the attention of the buyer so as to create room for me to swap the real Iphone X with the fake version.

This I did and we shared the victim’s N120,000. Unknown to me the police baited and arrested me the third day of the fraud.

Times are hard. I stopped doing it before. I need money to feed my family. That is why I came back into it. We are many doing it. We call it street hustling. I wont go back to it if released”

The Nigerian Police Force have released a statement in reaction to a video that made the rounds on social media.

In the video, a man dressed in a police uniform, can be seen smoking SHISHA.

The video aroused criticism from the public and the Police force took to their official twitter page to address the controversy.

The tweet reads ;

RE: Viral video of a man in Police “uniform” smoking shisha
– Police Commence Investigations

The Nigeria Police Force has commenced investigations into the viral video showing a man wearing what appears to be a Nigeria Police “uniform” smoking shisha.

The investigation will amongst other things seek to forensically establish the authenticity of the video, the true identity of the man in the uniform – whether he is in fact a policeman, an impostor or an actor in a movie scene.

However, while not being prejudicial to the ongoing investigations, it is necessary to state that the character exhibited by the man in the uniform is not a true reflection of who we are as a regimented law enforcement agency – our trainings, discipline, norms and tradition.

Meanwhile, members of the public with useful information that can assist police investigations are enjoined to provide same via the following; pressforabuja@police.gov.ng, or DM on our social media platforms.
