Benin prince arrested for scamming job seekers out of $54k

A Nigerian prince from the ancient city of Benin, and his accomplice have been accused of bamboozling hundreds of job seekers out of thousands of dollars by promising them high-paying gigs in New York.

The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said Osmond Eweka, 31, a prince from the Royal Family of Ogiesoba Eweka of the Great Benin Kingdom and his friend Kamel McKay, 27, pretended to run two consulting firms in Manhattan telling clients that if they paid a fee they would be placed at various jobs across New York City.

Prosecutors said some of the jobs Eweka and McKay promised their victims were for hotel housekeeping and front desk receptionists. The men used the popular job-seeking website Indeed.com to find their victims.

Eweka, 31, appeared in a Manhattan court on Thursday where he pleaded guiltyto charges of larceny and scheme to defraud.

Prosecutors said they would invite their victims to their office for an interview and then have them pay a fee, ranging between $300 and $700, the Post reports.

But in reality, there was no such job,’ she said at Eweka’s arraignment on Thursday in Manhattan Supreme Court.

After collecting the money, the men would send the job seekers to different businesses, where they were turned away by employers who weren’t expecting them.

The victims then found that they could no longer get in contact with the alleged fraudsters or the consulting firm. According to authorities, Eweka and McKay duped 250 people. .

They ran the alleged scam from January to June 2018. Both men were indicted on charges of larceny and scheme to defraud. McKay was arraigned last week and released on $200,000 bail, theNew York Times reports.

In 2016, Prince Eweka married attorney Imade Igbinedion in an elaborate wedding ceremony in Nigeria.

Oyo Lawmaker dumps APC for PDP

Oyo lawmaker dumps

An Oyo lawmaker, Olusegun Olaleye, on Thursday, defected from the All Progressives Congress to the Peoples Democratic Party.

The member of the Oyo State House of Assembly, who said his decision was not triggered by the exodus of federal lawmakers from the APC to the PDP on Tuesday, noted that earlier before Thursday, he had made consultation with people before arriving at his decision.

The Oyo lawmaker representing Ibadan North II state constituency in the legislative house, said he left the APC because the ideals of the party had been eroded. Olaleye who spoke to news men while being received at Ward 11, Ibadan North Local Government by the PDP chairman in the area, Seun Adelore, said:

“I went astray in the APC but I am back to the party that will form the next government in the state. The PDP is a moving train which boasted of huge followers and good leaders like former governor Rashidi Ladoja, Sarafadeen Alli and Senator Femi Lanlehin.

“I urge all Nigerians who love democracy to go and get their Permanent Voter Cards so as to determine who rules them. They should be fully involved in the democratic process come 2019.”

Recall that  the All Progressives Congress (APC) had reacted to the defection of about 51 lawmakers from the ruling party. The party said that its leaders had worked hard to prevent further members from leaving the party.

In a statement by its spokesman, Bolaji Abdullahi, says, “In the last couple of weeks, our party leaders have worked to stave off this situation as responsible Party leaders would do.

“It would appear however that the individuals involved have different considerations beyond the grievances that they were willing to discuss and our leaders were willing to address.

“As a truly democratic party, we respect the right of every citizen to political association.

“APC remains in firm control of 25 states of the 36 states of the federation and maintains a clear majority in the federal House of Representatives and state assemblies.

“We assure members and supporters that our great Party will continue to consolidate on our majority status in the leadup to the 2019 General Elections, even as our government continues to work hard to deliver on our promises to Nigerians”, he added.

“My mama’s gon’ call me for rocking this outfit” — Simi

Simi yesterday, stepped out in a daring ankara ensemble that showed of a little bit of her chest area, adding that the outfit was going to elicit a call from her mum.

She captioned the photo: “My mama’s gon’ call me in 5…4…3…2…?.. Outfit Designed/Styled by @kie_kie__ ?”

Meanwhile, Simi recently expressed her disapproval over a comment by popular fashion designer, Toyin Lawani where she said men were entitled to 10 women and must not be castigated for cheating.

Toyin had in her controversial Fathers Day post shared on Instagram that men are natural cheats and are thus entitled to 10 women, a statement which has not gone down well with many ladies on social media.

She also lambasted other women for insulting their baby daddies on social media and also claiming to be both the father and mother in their children’s lives.

However, Simi countering Toyin said if a man cheats constantly, he is an animal.

She went further to caution Nigerians against normalizing infidelity in an African man.

On her Instagram page, she wrote, “This narrative that all men are cheats get on my nerves because it’s really bullshit, but you see, that’s not even my problem with this.

“If you don’t hold a man that is with you to a standard, then why should he hold himself to one and vice versa. There are good men and women that choose to do the right thing unless your partner is an animal, he or she cannot do the right thing.

“Stop normalising infidelity, especially for men if you continuously allow anyone to disrespect you when you accept it as the norm, they will continue to disrespect you.

“Value is not a foreign thing, we need to quit it with the bullshit mentality that African men must cheat. Value yourself.”

Davido’s girlfriend, Chioma dumping University over love sparks outrage

Davido Frog Voice

Since Vanguard reported that trouble may be looming for Chioma Rowland, Davido’s girlfriend, as her family is not pleased with her dumping school for Davido, mixed reactions have continued to greet the report that went viral on social media.

But the love-struck economics undergraduate of Babcock University seems unruffled with the news for obvious reasons, Davido’s assurance. Davido and Chioma Refusing to react, Davido has since kept mum on the matter. According to him, he is quietly observing things.

“I just dey observe”, Davido wrote on his twitter page, to which Chioma responded,

“Let them talk bae, I’m looking at them and laughing.”

There are speculations that the ‘Assurance’ crooner may have decided not to get involved in Chioma’s family issues because he is yet to become a bonafide member of the family.

Meanwhile, critics have continued to condemn Chioma for dumping her education for a celebrated love affair with Davido.

“Yoruba demon has charmed Chioma. Igbo girls can die for Yoruba boys”, a social media user simply identified as Outraged wrote.

Grand Maze said,

“Let she not abandon her education. If she desires these things so much, she can go ahead but still complete her education while married. I will not advise her to throw away her Davido opportunity neither relegate her education.”

John Okolie described her with unprintable words;

“If this is true she must be the most stupid girl ever to bear an Igbo name.”

Patriot wrote, “Wow! This life!! How can someone abandon education, your future, for fame and money. Can you predict what tomorrow will be? Even Davido’s mum was a lecturer at Babcock University before she passed on. His father is a geologist with PhD, David himself is a graduate of music from Babcock University. Now Chioma wants to be without education because of flashy things that are temporary. What is painful is that the Igbos are very quick at blaming others especially the Yorubas for whatever happens to them. Soon they will begin to say it is because their daughter married Yoruba that’s why she’s having problem (that’s what they said with P-Square’s wife and Tonto Dike), they won’t remember now that greed is making their daughter abandon school because she has seen money and cars. God help her to listen to her parent’s advice.”

“Some people have simple problems in this life. Her problem is laziness to read”, Lade wrote.

I get bored dating one man for long – Ghanaian Lady

Little or nothing is known about a certain girl named Maame Afiba Bessa, who says she’s an aspiring cardiologist and a humanitarian until she tweeted a daring summation on her wall concerning relationship. As soon as her tweet came up, torrents of comments began to flood in with varying reactions and most were not so friendly.

“The way I get bored dating one man for long. I really can’t even see myself getting with a man who doesn’t keep me intrigued and makes me laugh till I cry. That’s how soon the way you breathe will even start pissing me off,” she had tweeted.

Most, in a fit of anger, said she would never get married. Others called her grim names not fit for publication. However, Potpourri decided to dig into her background and found out that she has a medical condition that may be interfering with her show of affection, love and trust.

“A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with GAD. For those of you who don’t know, GAD is Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Upon speaking to someone, I found out my childhood memories of constant fear plays a massive part in it,” she had posted October of last year on her wall.

She continued :

“I did not have an easy childhood growing up and for people closest to me I have always opened up about that and also enduring sexual abuse as a child. I’ve always had this fear factor in life , so much so that when things were going right in my life, I was ready for bad things to happen because I always have this mental picture that whatever was going right in my life won’t last. I will worry daily about something I thought will happen, beat myself about it and cry over it.

“I will isolate myself from people who loved me sometimes and get angry at the least thing because behind closed doors, I was battling this thing that I knew existed but was too ashamed to admit or talk about. For many years, it had such a negative impact over my livelihood,” she added.

It is often said that a book should not be judged by its cover. This Ghanaian girl who lives in Barcelona, Spain, is a classic case.

PDP raises alarm over plot to impeach Fayose

PDP raises alarm

PDP says the impeachment plot, which is being arranged in connivance with the Police, is a recipe for crisis in the peaceful state.

The PDP is aware that the plot is a desperate bid by the APC to rush into the Ekiti Government House to remove and tamper with documents and evidence confirming the rigging of the July 14 governorship election, ahead of the sitting of the election tribunal.

Having realized that there is no way their daylight robbery at the poll can stand in the court, the APC is now employing all desperate means to subvert the course of Justice.

This explains why a detachment of the Police can be hurriedly deployed to besiege the Ekiti State Assembly Complex last night without a formal request by the Speaker, the Clerk or the Sergeant-at-Arms, who is the chief security officer of the complex.

The PDP states that any resort to underhand measures to impeach Fayose, without the constitutionally required 2/3 of the members of the House, particularly at this time, when the lawmakers are currently on their annual recess, will surely be resisted by our members.

Accusing the APC of plotting crisis all over the nation and resorting to the use of harassment, intimidation and brute force against the people and our democratic institutions, PDP warns that these dispositions of APC and its Federal Government portend grave danger for our nation.

Now that the political and parliamentary establishment of the Ekiti House of Assembly has loudly declared that they do not require the services of the detachment of policemen, PDP charges the APC to immediately withdraw their armed agents from the premises of the House of Assembly.

Finally, the PDP urges the judiciary to be firm in standing by the truth on the Ekiti election and not be cowed or intimidated by the threats and pressure coming from the APC.

Nigerians know the truth regarding the rigging of the Ekiti guber election by the APC and are now looking up to the judiciary for justice in the matter.

I’ll support any candidate that’ll turn Nigeria’s fortune around – Obasanjo

Obasanjo support candidate

Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, has mentioned that he will only give his supports to any Nigerian who will turn the country’s fortune around for good.

According to reports from Punch, he said this on Thursday when he received a former Minister of Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Affairs, Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta.

Turaki, who is a presidential aspirant, came with a 10-man delegation that included a former governor of Adamawa State, Boni Haruna.

Obasanjo reiterated that he would not rest until the fortunes of Nigeria are “turned around for good.”

He identified the dearth of “qualitative leadership” as one of the major challenges confronting Nigeria, adding that men of goodwill must not keep quiet in the face of misrule.

He then called for concerted efforts from the political class towards providing the country with better leadership.

He said:

“Let me say that what is happening here today or what you’re making to happen with your delegation particularly gladdens my heart.

“You are firming up and stabilising our democracy. Democracy is not a destination but a journey and there is no nation that can claim to have reached the final destination.

“It is good for us as a nation and our democracy. We have said a lot of things that we have identified about what we need to put right as a country. What do we lack? Why are we not where we should be?

“We are so divided today the way we have not been before. People are deprived socially and economically. But you know, I have never lost hope.

While speaking with journalists after the meeting, Turaki said he came to pay respect to the former president and also to intimate him with his presidential ambition in 2019.

He said the indivisibility of the country remained non-negotiable.

He also accused the All Progressives Congress-led administration of “incompetence” due to its “inability to resolve some of Nigeria’s many challenges.”

He said:

“The meeting has been a very fruitful one. We have discussed openly, honestly and frankly about the current situation in this country and like always, Baba was of tremendous guidance to us.

“Baba has spoken in his vintage way of speaking passionately about the situation in Nigeria.

“We believe that our indivisibility as one and united nation is given and it is non-negotiable. We feel that our unity is also non-negotiable.”

Facebook Stock Plunge: Mark Zuckerberg loses $17.6bn, plunges to world’s sixth-richest

Mark Zuckerberg loses
PARIS, FRANCE - MAY 24: Facebook's founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg speaks to participants during the Viva Technologie show at Parc des Expositions Porte de Versailles on May 24, 2018 in Paris, France.

On Wednesday, Facebook stock plunged over 20 percent, following a disappointing earnings reports which made CEO Mark Zuckerberg lose $17.6bn in net worth.

The 34-year-old Facebook billionaire, who had been worth as much as $86.5bn when Facebook stock traded at an all-time high earlier in the day, now has a net worth of about $68.9bn, based on regulatory filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

That figure includes some $2.7bn in cash and real estate, according to Bloomberg’s Billionaire index.

That places Zuckerberg, who had been the world’s third-richest person, at Number Six, below billionaires including Berkshire Hathaway’s Warren Buffett, French business magnate Bernard Arnault, and Zara founder Amancio Ortega.

Zuckerberg’s net worth had surpassed Buffett’s in June as shares of Facebook continued to climb and Buffett continued to give much of his wealth away in charitable donations. Today, Buffett is worth roughly about $82.3bn.

Facebook’s founder is the media company’s largest shareholder, with 12.8 percent of its shares outstanding.

Zuckerberg’s paper losses come after Facebook revealed mixed earnings and slowing growth during the second quarter of 2018.

During the quarter, the company added 22 million daily active users, lower than the 41 million it added in the same quarter a year earlier.

Chief financial officer, David Wehner, told analysts in a follow-up call to brace for a possibly deeper slowdown as the company seeks to expand new offerings such as Stories and increase privacy and security for users.

At least 16 brokerages cut their price targets on Facebook after executives said the cost of improving privacy safeguards, as well as slowing usage in the biggest advertising markets, would hit the company’s profit margins for more than two years.

Facebook shares were down 20.4 percent at $173.20 in pre-market trading, a decline that would wipe about $128bn off the company’s value — or nearly four times the entire market capitalisation of Twitter Inc.

Facebook’s second-quarter results were the first sign that a new European privacy law and a string of privacy scandals involving Cambridge Analytica and other app developers are hitting the company’s business.

Facebook also warned that the toll would not be offset by revenue growth from emerging markets and the company’s Instagram app, which has been less affected by privacy concerns.

Describing the announcements as “bombshells,” Baird analysts said the issues were, to a large degree, “self-inflicted” as Facebook sacrifices its core app monetisation to drive usage.

Of 47 analysts covering Facebook, 43 rate the stock as “buy,” two rate it “hold,” and two rate it “sell.” Their median target price is $219.30.

Some analysts said Facebook’s issues would not be easily resolved.

“Unlike Netflix, whose quarterly shortfall we saw as temporary, here we see an evolution of the story, albeit a portion of which we expected,” said Daniel Salmon, analyst at BMO Capital Markets.

Others, however, saw a silver lining in Facebook’s emphasis on more engaging content and its promotion of stories on its News Feed, which would support revenue over the longer term.

“Bears win this quarter … but not the war,” said Brent Thill, an analyst with Jefferies.

He responded: “mama you don’t know what’s up, it’s called flexing..When I post this picture on gram, they will hail me that I’ve arrived”

“I laughed so hard and told him that could be misleading! But he shruggingly walked away!, That left me thinking of how people can fake it!

“If you take a cue from everything you see on social media and want to be like that, you may end up behind bars!

Osun Election: Drop Adeleke as flagbearer, seven PDP gov aspirants tell party

drop adeleke

Some Osun State governorship aspirants, seven in number has asked the National Leadership of the PDP to drop Senator Ademola Adeleke as the PDP flagbearer.

The aspirants asked the party to rescind its decision on the nomination of Senator Ademola Adeleke as the candidate of the party in the September 22 governorship election.

According to Punch Nigeria seven aspirants, Dr. Akin Ogunbiyi; senators Olasunkanmi Akinlabi and Felix Ogunwale; Prof. Adeolu Durotoye and Dr. Ayoade Adewopo said this at a joint press conference in Osogbo on Thursday.

Other aspirants who are also urging the PDP leadership to drop Adeleke are, Mrs Adejare Bello and Jide Adeniji who were both absent at the press conference, but had their names were listed as supporting the call.

Olasunkanmi, who read the address said:

“The candidacy of Senator Ademola Adeleke will further divide rather than unite the PDP in Osun State in view of the fact that a great number of the party members will not feel secure working for him, because of the very controversial circumstances of his nomination.

“The PDP may not be able to secure the support of critical stakeholders in the state with Senator Adeleke’s candidacy, because of his not too impressive public conduct as a senator of the Federal Republic.

“In view of the foregoing, therefore, we the under listed aspirants call on the national leadership of our party to rescind its decision on the nomination of Senator Ademola Adeleke as our candidate for the September 22 governorship election.”

Ogunbiyi stated that he would not leave the party but would not stop to demand that the party do the right thing.

He said:

“We are actually facing a challenge at present. It is a storm that will pass and I, Dr. Akin Ogunbiyi and other aspirants will not leave the PDP under any guise.

“We believe that the leadership of the party will do the right thing. We will stay together and fight to uproot the government of APC.

“The good people of Osun State should remain calm. The PDP is the hope of Osun State. There is no alternative party that can rescue Osun State and Nigeria.

“I cannot be a mole in the hands of anybody. With my modest achievement as a village boy with this level of grace God has given me, I cannot condescend to do such dishonorable job.”
