A distraught team-mate of the Brazilian footballers killed in the Colombian plane crash has made the astonishing claim the players were ‘assassinated’, declaring in an emotional outburst: ‘That wasn’t an accident’.
Clearly still in a state of shock, Chapecoense player Moises Santos, who did not travel on the doomed jet because of injury, claimed pilot Miguel Quiroga ‘was the only guilty one’ in the tragedy.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, the grieving player – one of just seven who didn’t take the doomed plane – wept as he said he would ‘certainly have been among the dead’ if he had been fit.
He said: ‘
At the moment I got injured I questioned God, and said to my wife ‘why me?’ Today I can see that because of my injury, God delivered me.
‘But how can I say that God delivered me, when he didn’t deliver my friends who were on that plane? If he saved me why didn’t he save them as well? I don’t have any reason to talk of being delivered.
He then made the astonishing claim:
‘My friends were assassinated – that wasn’t an accident.’You can’t hope for much from human beings. That guy who was taking the Chapecoense players, he destroyed many families, he destroyed the whole city of Chapeco. For Chapeco get back everything that we were living will take a long time. ‘Many people in Chapeco were dependent on the players, the families of the players, and now what are they going to do? This is the question that everybody is asking, what is going to happen to the families?
It is no new tale that Nigerian politicians are used to flaunting security details regardless of any circumstance or event.
Ekiti state Governor Fayose, yesterday went against the usual frivolities. This is a very welcome development and we hope to see more sane actions from Nigerian leaders.
A woman claims she saw Jesus when she was just four minutes from death after suffering an ectopic miscarriage.
The unnamed lady said that she screamed for Jesus and begged him not to let her baby die after being taken into hospital. She then claimed, that she saw a huge light in the corner of the room and made out legs, arms and a head. In a now viral video recording, she said
“I felt like i was dying,”It tasted like death. I felt like life was leaving my body, I was ready to die, I thought ‘OK, this is it’.I was laying down, and in the corner of the room, something appeared. It was made of thunder, it was made out of fire,”It was like the biggest light emanating from this really tall being. I couldn’t see his face, but I could see it was two arms, two legs and a head.”It was coming towards me and all around its body was a kind of gas. I was so scared.”
The doctors told the woman that she had less than four minutes to live before her alleged visit from Christ.
She was then taken down to the operating theatre where doctors managed to save her, but sadly her baby had already died.
In a recent interview with Encomium, Nigeria’s richest blogger, Linda Ikeji, reflected on how God changed her status from Mushin to Banana Island. Read excerpts below:
A lot of people want to know how you got your wealth?
From blogging! A thousand percent is from blogging. I don’t do any other thing. There is so much money to be made from blogs that people do not know.
How many staffers do you have?
I have over 30. Last month was the first time I paid a lot of people. I was like, I could have kept this whole money for myself but it is part of expansion and growth.
Do you think you court controversy or just misunderstood?
I don’t go out of my way to look for controversy maybe I am being misunderstood. I am a blogger and a business woman, I have to go out of my way to look for gossip for my readers. I don’t want anybody to fail. I don’t wish anybody evil.
How did you feel when Kemi said you took money from Dasuki?
I have never denied it. The reason I never said anything about it was because it was overwhelming. Someone called me and said I should calm down. The person said people have not come to terms with the fact that I bought such a property. Before the whole stuff started, I have never heard of the man’s name. The only money I collected from any APC or PDP was for advert. I know I am not guilty of anything. If not, EFCC would have come for me by now.
When people say such things, I understand where they are coming from. Those who are not into online business will not know how it works. It is only those into online business that know I can buy two of that house.
What will happen to your house when you get married?
My parents would live there. I live with all my family now – my parents and my sisters.
Can you tell us how you felt the day you bought your house?
I was extremely happy. I couldn’t believe it. From Mushin to Surulere to Banana Island. I think you have only one life to live. My dream was a luxurious house and I said if I could afford it, I would get it. It was such an amazing day for me.

Two outstanding National Youth Service Corps members who are both firstclass graduates have died mysteriously at their respective orientation camps.
The first to die, Miss Ifedolapo Amoke Oladepo lost her life in unclear situation at the Kano NYSC orientation camp on November 29.
More details of the information as reported by Punch revealed that the corper might have died of negligence as alleged by her family members.
According to one Ajibolu Marcarony Yusuff, who appears to be a relation of the deceased, Ifedolapo called home five hours to her death and told her older sister, Mrs. Oyeyode Abimbola (a nurse) to start coming to her Kano orientation camp because, as alleged, the NYSC doctors were not giving enough care.
Yusuff said the late 26-year-old corps member who graduated with a First Class degree in Transport Management from Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomosho, was given injection at the orientation camp’s clinic, but that she called home to say that she had reacted to the injection, as she noticed visible rashes all over her body.
Later, Yusuff claimed, Ifedolapo called home to complain of tongue-twisting, and was reportedly given another injection.
Yusuff continued, “When a male doctor agreed to speak with her sister (Oyeyode Abimbola), he explained that Ifedolapo was having anaphylaxis (acute allergic reaction) and that they intended to place her under observation for an hour before transferring her to Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital.”
Yusuff claimed that it took about five hours before the camp management transferred Ifedolapo to General Hospital, Gwazo, instead of the AKTH as promised.
She allegedly became incommunicado, as she could no longer be reached on phone.
Thirteen hours later, the family allegedly received a call from the Kano State NYSC camp officials informing them of her death.
But, the Head of the NYSC Press and Public Relations in Abuja, Mrs. Bosede Aderibigbe, has denied that Ifedolapo did not die of stress as thought by the relations.
She said Ifedolapo was sick when she arrived the Kano orientation camp.
Also, another First Class graduate of Petroleum Engineering from the University of Uyo, Mr. Ukeme Monday, lost his life in a most shocking manner at the Zamfara State orientation camp.
He reportedly died on Thursday, December 1, of yet-to-be-ascertained causes.
A classmate of his, one Mr. Patrick Immo, noted that Monday was a committed Christian worker in his local assembly, the Power City International.
Speaking on Ukeme’s death, Immo said the two of them had shopped together a few days to the orientation camp, and that they departed Uyo for their respective orientation camps on November 23.
“It was thus a rude shock to me when, on December 1, I heard that Monday had died,” Immo narrated.
In addition to his First Class certificate, friends said Monday also won four scholarships and other top academic prizes as a student.

A young woman born without a vagina can now have s*x, after doctors performed a life-changing op to create a man-made vaginal canal using a skin graft from her bottom, The Sun UK reports.
According to the report, the woman identified as Devan Merck, 23 discovered at the age of 12 that she had been born with no vaginal canal, a malformed uterus and no cervix. Doctors later diagnosed with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome.
But, things have now changed for the woman after doctors created a “man-made” vagina for her. This gives her husband the opportunity of enjoying a healthy s*x life. The couple have now concluded to start a family with the help of a surrogate.
Devan said: “I am no different – instead of having a fully functioning vagina I have a man made vagina.
“For years I was bullied and felt different.
“Kids would call me a ‘boy’ and a ‘freak’ and boyfriends would disappear when they realised I wouldn’t have s*x.
“But since I met my husband my life has changed completely.
“We recently discovered I have both my ovaries and we are hoping to have a biological child of our own.
“Everything I’ve been through has been me stronger and I think I will make an amazing mother.”
Devan first started experiencing difficulties when she was 12 years old. Every month she would suffer excruciating cramps, but doctors were unconcerned and said it was the beginning of her periods.
At 16, she underwent an operation to “make” her a vagina so she was able to have s*x.
Devan said: “They had to basically make a vaginal opening for me so that I can have intercourse.
“I had a thick layer of skin that covered my vaginal opening that they had to cut open and then they took skin from my bottom and placed it inside of me.”
The skin was rolled up and inserted into the newly created opening to form a vaginal canal. For several months Devan had to wear a foam insert inside her vagina to stop the newly created vaginal walls from fusing back together.
The surgery was a success, but Devan’s problems were far from over and she endured years of merciless bullying from her classmates.
Devan said: “The name calling hurt. It hurt my feelings a lot but I dealt with it. It definitely made me a stronger person. I didn’t judge, I just knew that they didn’t understand.
“I was scared to open up. I was scared of what guys would think about me.
“I was scared what they were going to do and say because I do have scars and I felt different.
“I couldn’t have s*x. So it was difficult to have a boyfriend that was okay with that.
“It definitely ended some relationships really quick. But those relationships were not meant to be, and that’s ok.”
Things got worse after she lost her virginity to her boyfriend at the time who would taunt her – saying that she “felt” different to other girls with her “artificial vagina”.
After leaving school, however, Devan found happiness with husband of five years, Trent, who serves in the US military. And the couple have recently discovered that Devan is carrying eggs in her ovaries – meaning the couple could have their own biological baby by using a surrogate.
Devan said: “All I’ve ever wanted is to be a mum and after everything I’ve been through I finally feel like there is light at the end of the tunnel.
“I want nothing more than to give my husband a child and start a family and now we have the hope that we never dared dream about.”
Devan has the full support of husband Trent, 28.
Trent said: “I am very proud of Devan. I know that this condition is really difficult emotionally and I am just glad I am here to support her.
“Sometimes she gets down and everything but I mean she always looks forward.
“I think she feels guilty about it but I never want her to feel that way and I don’t hold it against her ever.
“I love her no matter what.”
Now Devan and Trent have found a potential surrogate in a close family friend, and they hope that by December 2017 they will have their first child. And no one is more hopeful for the couple than Devan’s mum, Gina, 45.
A polyandrous Zimbabwean woman, Jack Chako, has given details on how her relationship with her two husbands has progressed, and how she enjoys sexual intimacy with them.
ZimPapers reports that the 30-year-old woman claims that her life is a bed of roses.
On how she gets maximum sexual satisfaction ‘as claimed’ from her husbands – Michael Hwita and Lifford Chimoto, Chako said, “We are a happy family, I live with my two husbands and we love one another.
“My two husbands are best friends and they are always together.
“Chimoto is the elder husband, while Hwita is the junior.
“I married the second Hwita because Chimoto is elderly and increasingly becoming weak in bed.
“They both have different roles and I love them both.
“They have different strengths. Chimoto fetches a lot of firewood and cleans up the house well but he is weak in bed and weak when it comes to fending for the family.
“The reason why I married a second husband is that Chimoto was starving me sexually.
“Hwita is also technically minded. He repairs a lot of broken goods, including cell phones and cobbles shoes too, making him bring some cash home. His biggest strength is he is excellent and strong in bed.
“To be honest, in terms of conjugal rights I favour Hwita. He gets me there.
“I only do it with Chimoto as a token. At times, I feel pity for Chimoto and give him token conjugal rights and he appreciates that.
“The rule is no one gets out of the room, because he is not on duty. Whoever is not on duty, just watches us at it.
“I am in charge and my two husbands are now used to sleeping side by side in one bed; because they don’t mind and they both appreciate each other for the different roles each play to the family,” the mother of five, three children from a previous marriage and two from this polyandrous affair stated.
Speaking further, she said, “I use some concoction to pacify my husbands. It is not a secret that I used a concoction to cow them down. I also sell this concoction to other women to cow down their errand husbands and make them compliant.
“None of my two husbands wishes to leave me. Initially I only had Chimoto but I ran away from him and went to my parents’ home because he was not satisfying me sexually and I was tired of stealing sex from neighbouring boys and men. But he followed and pleaded until my parents ordered me to take him back.
“I then gave him a condition that I should get another man to help him in bed and he agreed. This is how I got the second one. Since then, we live happily and enjoy our life, although we know that the generality of people around us do not like it,” Chako explained.
The husbands, Hwita and Chimoto, on their parts, said they don’t have problems taking Chako says their joint wife.
Chimoto said, “I know my failings and I appreciate the decision which was taken, we have various duties and life goes on.”
Hwita said, “I see no problem. She loves both of us and we understand our situation.
“I respect Chimoto as the elder husband because I found him here.”
A video clip which shows a very young girl relaxing and smoking weed with her friends, which emerged online few hours ago, has gone viral.
Online reports revealed that the girl who is a student and was sent to study for her first degree, instead chose to join the bad gang of marijuana smokers.
Nigerian singer, CDQ has just revealed he doesn’t mind if he’s wife doesn’t have culinary skills.
The rapper, real name Sodiq Abubakar Yusuf, while showing off his cooking skills on Accelerate TV‘s Day Pass made this revelation.
According to him, “I don’t see it as a criteria for a man to marry a woman. They say it’s tradition that a woman must know how to cook but the way I am though, I don’t mind. I don’t care whether she knows how to cook or not.”
He also revealed that he used to be a backup dancer for Kaffy when he was in the university, but had to stop because it was affecting his grades.
CDQ recently dropped his album “Quality”. The album is done heavily in thick Yoruba and ghetto slangs. There’s an abundance of adlibs to make the entire project read off like a street-fest, with catcalls, psst, ‘woss’, and ‘oobi’ screamed in the background of whatever track is rolling through.
One of the ponzi schemes in Nigeria, Ultimate Cycler has crashed, sending panic waves across many of its Nigerian members who have invested their money in it as well as those who have equally invested in others such as MMM.
The ponzi website, Ultimate Cycler went down early Thursday morning, specifically around 10:30am(Nigerian time), shutting out every member who owns an account with it.
When accessed, the site initially displayed an error line of code, before displaying ”Error 500” in bold letters, then it proceeded to display another message:
“Be right back. We are currently updating the site to give you a more pleasurable experience and will be back online shortly. Our update estimation is to be complete over the next 6 – 12 hours. Thank you, Peter Wolfing.”
Ultimate Cycler is a new ponzi scheme that followed MMM. This new money doubling scheme claims a promise of better returns on invested money than MMM.
The hook for Ultimate Cycler is members get a return of N50,000 after paying N12,500 to a fellow member he or she registered under.
As at the time of filing this report, the ponzi website has still not come to life. Dangers for members who have invested in it or others like MMM is that when such websites go down, chances are that it never comes up again and hence, “investors’” money goes with it.
So, will Ultimate Cycler ever come back to life? This is question on the minds of every member.

This was shared on Twitter moments ago – stipulated in Section 277 of the Criminal Law of Lagos state, it is a criminal offence for a man to desert a woman he impregnated.
For the violent husband or wife, Section 19 of the Violence Against Persons Act 2015 states:
A person who batters his or her spouse commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a term of imprisonment not exceeding 3 years or to a fine not exceeding N200, 000 or both.”
A Nigerian, who goes by the name Pastor Ernest Chigozie Mbanefo has been unveiled as the mastermind of the suspected Ponzi scheme known as MMM Nigeria. According to an online report, Mbanefo is based in South Africa.
Nigerian Communications Week said Mbanefo registered the site MMM Nigeria.net domain on June 7, 2016 about at about 5 pm Nigerian time.
NAN quoting NCW And Pageone report written as far back as September said Mbanefo made a single year domain payment. The domain will expire on June 7, 2017. It was also revealed that MMM Nigeria is not part of MMM Global – a Russian company that was responsible for one of the world’s largest Ponzi schemes in the 1990s.
MMM Global was founded by Russian politician Sergei Mavrodi, his brother Vyacheslav Mavrodi and Olga Melnikova. The name of the company was taken from the first letters of the three founders’ surnames (MMM).
But like MMM Global, the Nigerian scheme is also a pyramid marketing scheme where an investor gets a 30 per cent return on investment. Around the world, MMM is feared.
In January 2016 the Chinese government banned MMM on the grounds that it is a pyramid scheme, (Ponzi scheme), and it is not registered in the country (and as a fraudulent scheme cannot be registered.
MMM recently crashed in Zimbabwe: Thousands of ‘Mavrodians’ in Zimbabwe were left in tears when the scheme crashed, losing tens of thousands of their lifetime savings.
Page One gave Mbanefo’s address as 1 ROYAL STREET, LINDBERG PARK, JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA. According to Page One, on the 15th of July, Ernest was awarded a certificate of completion of an online course titled ‘MMM Guiders School’.
The certificate was supposedly signed by Sergei Mavrodi himself. He has since given himself the nickname the ‘Super Guider of MMM’. To share news and information about MMM, Ernest also operates a subdomain. The site praises him and projects him as the leader of the Ponzi Scheme in Nigeria.
He is described as:
MMM Nigeria Super Guider; Pastor Ernest Mbanefo, has been selflessly helping thousands of MMM Nigeria Participants whether or not they fall under his downline structure. The brain behind the MMM NIGERIA REVOLUTION operation has been working selflessly and tirelessly towards the education, information and proper guidance for the MMM Nigeria Community’

A 24-year-old woman is claiming she is still a virgin, despite given birth to a baby girl at a hospital in China in early November.
Lin Shuping said that she doesn’t have a boyfriend and has never known a man’s touch. When she was reasonably asked just where did the baby come from then? Lin said she has no clue.
On the morning of November 16th, she suddenly fainted and was taken to the hospital. She was then rather shocked when she started to go into labour, apparently unaware that she had been pregnant, despite missing her period for the last nine months, Shenzhen News reports.
Unfortunately, Lin sees this “immaculate conception” as less of a miracle and more of a hassle. She says that she doesn’t have the money to take care of the baby and wants to give her up.
Indeed, the hospital has desperately been trying to contact her family in Guangxi because the woman can’t afford to pay her hospital bills.
A 14 year old girl, identified as Onyeka John, has regained her freedom after she was allegedly chained by her mother to the burglary-proof bars for about a month.
The girl lived with her parents in a rented apartment on Serebe Street, Abaranje, in the Ikotun area of Lagos State. They reportedly tied her up by the neck and legs for habitually running away from home, which they ascribed to mental illness.
According to PUNCH Metro, the parents had gone out on Wednesday and locked up the girl as usual. On that day, the landlord, Mr. Oladapo Olubajo, was said to have gone to the backyard, where the family’s apartment is located, to check a pumping machine when he saw the girl.
The landlord alerted a resident, who reported the case to the police at the Ikotun division.
The resident, who begged not to be named, said the girl’s parents eventually showed up at the police station and made statements. He said,
“The parents locked the girl up. She is about 14 years old. She was chained naked to the burglary inside the room by the neck and legs. Policemen came to rescue the girl. Her parents later turned themselves in at the station. They said the girl had been a disgrace to the family.”
The landlord, Olubajo, told Punch that he wanted to take up the matter with the parents, but some residents prevailed on him not to. He explained that he met the girl naked in the apartment, adding that the condition she was could frustrate her to commit suicide.
Olubajo said,
“When I saw her chained to the burglar-proof bar, I raised the alarm. The police later got the parents to the station and interrogated them.
“The girl said she had been there for almost one month. Her parents moved here a year ago. I have noticed that their behaviour was odd. but I didn’t know they could go to the extent of chaining their daughter.
“People begged me and the police eventually released the girl to them yesterday (Wednesday). The conclusion we reached is that I want them out of my house. They also claimed the girl is mentally ill. Even if she is mentally challenged, was that the right way to go about it? She could have killed herself.”
Onyeka’s father, who spoke with PUNCH Metro on the telephone on Thursday, said he and his wife meant no harm for the girl.
He said:
“She always runs away from home. That was why we chained her. I think she is mentally ill. We planned to take her to a hospital this month. As I speak now, she has fled home again.”
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, said the case was under investigation.
“The lady is suffering from mental illness. Her parents chained her to prevent her from entering the street, and without intention to harm her,” she added.
No offense… but why does she look like she’s going for a ballet class but with high heel shoes? It’s lovely that the couple decided to coordinate red and white though but yo! It’s your wedding day not Valentine nah!
