A seven man syndicate of young guys who specialize in blackmailing young ladies (especially UNIZIK students) were caught by the police at Enugu. From investigation, these guys were the people who orchestrated the release of the lesbian video of the former Miss Anambra. They met their waterloo when they tried the same trick on another lady who was a former Unizik student but currently an upcoming actress and a model.
Their mode of operation is very simple. They open female Facebook accounts and scout for unsuspecting young ladies. These guys will operate the said accounts as ladies and become very friendly with the said girls. Inundated with promises of making them become celebrities and promising to crop out their faces before posting pictures, these unsuspecting girls will send nude pictures and shot lesbian videos in return for a particular sum of money(around 100k).
Immediately they get hold of these videos or pictures, they will blackmail them into returning the money or else they publish the video or pictures. I, as Martin Beck Nworah, is categorically stating that this is a verified fact because I have seen victims in the past. And even if you do, they will still keep the materials and use it in blackmailing you when they feel you have become popular or achieved something.
In the case of the former Miss Anambra, after extorting so much money from her, she became fed up and threatened to deal with them since she is now a beauty queen. Remember, her lesbian video was shot in her year one in the university even before she dreamt of contesting for Miss Anambra in 2015. When these boys saw they can no longer extort more money from her, they decided to start releasing her video(One single video they decided to cut in parts). They also screen grabbed parts of the video and released as pictures to the public.
While we wait for official statement from the security outfits, this is not in defense of anybody. I promised to physically follow this issue and see to its logical end. Thank God, we are making progress and getting to the roots. Before you form an opinion on social media, please try and verify facts if you can.
For our parents, I have repeatedly begged you to be close to your daughters and provide enough guidance for them. Just try your best and make sure you provide enough for them. Teach them how to be contented with whatever you can provide. We thank God these guys were caught today, only God knows how many ladies they have destroyed their future in the past.
Till we get to the Promised Land, I shall be waiting for when you will pass me a glass of water and thank God for the gift of grace for the race’.
Shocking photos of a distressed bride fleeing her wedding reception went viral during the weekend (If you missed it).
The bride to be abandoned her 41 year old groom, Julius, at their wedding reception in Udu Local Government Area of Delta State. All pleas by the bewildered husband at the popular Orhunwhorhun Road for the woman to reconsider her decision were to no avail.
Details on what allegedly happened that fateful day has emerged.
Her close friend told Vanguard that the bride saw her true love at the reception venue and decided to follow her heartthrob.
The would-be bride, Roseline, 32, has since disappeared into thin air and all efforts to trace her whereabouts had yielded no result at press time.
It was a pandemonium as the wife ran out of the wedding reception and rejected her husband, saying “I am no longer interested,” forcing the wedding reception to end abruptly.
A close female confidante of the woman, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Vanguard:
“I believe she did what she did because she saw the previous man in her life at the reception. We heard that he had earlier promised to marry the bride, but he later traveled to Lagos and never showed up again.
“When the bride waited for a long time and he (former suitor) was nowhere to be found, she decided to marry another man, who was ready although she still loved her former suitor.
“So when her true love showed up at the reception without notice, the woman saw him and decided to call it quits with her husband to follow her heartthrob.”
A well known controversial Ghanaian marriage Counselor, George Lutterodt has claimed that no man can brag about satisfying any woman sexually on this earth.
According to him, women try to massage the ego of men by moaning and groaning uncontrollably during sexual intercourse pretending to be enjoying it whereas they are not really satisfied.
And that most women have acquired properties due to their moaning skills.
He observed that most men are deceived into believing that they are good in bed when their partners moan excitedly, that the male organ is the most disgraceful organ in the human anatomy.
The firebrand Counsellor while speaking with host of Abusua FM’s Drive Ike-Da Unpredictable, said:
‘No man can satisfy any woman sexually on this earth, the thank you they say is appreciation for your time wasted. She is fanning your ego to let you know that you are counted among the lot. There are differences in the way we have the excitement, satisfaction and the pretenses. Most of the moaning all are lies. Men are vulnerable sexually, the male organ is the most vulnerable organ in the world and is so disgraceful. Every hole you place it in, it’s happy. It appreciates and responds to every vagina.
It’s very disgraceful, unlike the vagina which has eyes and mouth, the penis has only mouth and no eyes that is why every erection needs direction. If you have an erection, it needs direction. So any man who does not ejaculate needs to be examined, it’s a serious disorder and needs a counsellor to manage him,’ he said.
This Chinese woman humiliated her husband after she caught him talking to other women via a messaging app online. According to Daily Mail, the wife got her husband to confess his wrongdoings while she scorned him as she sat in bed.
The man who can be seen crying in pain and embarrassment throughout the video which was uploaded on October 31, is wearing a pink bra and black boxer shorts and can be seen kneeling on the spiky skin of a durian fruit, which has a strong smell and is popular in south-east Asia.
Hilariously, the man has stuck a sanitary towel on his forehead.
‘I admit that I made a mistake,’ the embarrassed man replied in a low voice. ‘I should not have sent my private photos via Wechat. I should not have initiated the conversation,’ the man confessed.
The angry wife interrogates him saying: ‘who did you approach?’ The man then chose to reveal what he had done:
‘I talked to several women. I said something I should not have said,’.
‘That’s why you ended up like this, right?’ the scorned woman scolded him, ‘who asked you to kneel down?’
‘My wife asked me to do so.’ said the husband.
‘I asked you to kneel down, and do you obey my commands?’ the infuriated wife asked.
‘I am willing to receive a harsh punishment,’ the husband answered in a flat tone.
‘Will you continue talking to them?’ the wife still appeared to be mad.
The man promised he would never do it again.
He suddenly burst into tears, ‘my dear wife, these are all durian skins. I just can’t stand it anymore.’ It’s not known how long the man has been kneeling on the durian skins.
The video ends as he burst into tears and moaned in pain.
The bizarre clip was uploaded by Zui Huo Huo Ge to Miaopai, a video-sharing platform in China on Monday.
‘He’s so coward.’ an user noted. ‘These behaviors are more than silly. They are really disturbing,’ a video watcher commented. ‘I am curious, who is filming this video?’ a Miaopai user wondered.
The 40-year-old man, Victor Emafolomi, in the photo above has been detained by the police for allegedly raping his wife’s daughter, Keji.
According to PUNCH Metro, the suspect was apprehended on Sunday by the police from the Agbado division after the mother of the victim reported the case.
Keji (pseudonym) lived with her mother and Emafolomi on Olukososi Street, Jafa, Agbado, in the Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State. Emafolomi raped Keji on two occasions in October, threatening to kill her if she informed her mother.
The first time she was raped, Keji was at a shop where she was learning hairdressing within the community when her stepfather called her on the telephone to come home to prepare lunch for him.
While the teenager was immersed in the cooking, Emafolomi reportedly descended on her and dragged her into the bedroom.
She said,
“That afternoon, he was drunk. He beat me up when I resisted. I explained to him that he was like a father to me, but he didn’t listen. He used a pillow to cover my mouth and raped me. He said he would kill me if I told my mother about the rape.
“Two days after, he had sex with me again. That evening, he beat me up because I insisted that I would tell my mother when she came back from work. He went out and came back with two men after about 30 minutes. The men stared at me and left. He said they would be monitoring my movement and that if I reveal what he did to me, they would kill me.”
Punch adds that the suspect left home after the second encounter and did not return until about two weeks later.
“Before the incident, he had warned a boy called Owolabi to stay away from me because he didn’t want us to have a relationship,” Keji added.
Keji’s mother, Taiwo, who spoke to PUNCH Metro, said she was abreast of the time her daughter usually menstruated, said she became worried last Tuesday, October 24, when Keji did not do so.
“I took her to a clinic in our area and it was confirmed that she was pregnant. I begged her to tell me who impregnated her, but she refused,” Taiwo said.
After much pestering, Keji was said to have confided in her mother, who reportedly passed out afterwards.
“I was very shocked, but I could not fault the revelation because my husband had abandoned home for some days and there was no misunderstanding between us. I think it was because of what he did,” she added.
However, the suspect, who hails from Delta State, refuted the allegations, saying it was Owolabi, who impregnated Keji.
He said,
“I am a driver. I left home because my wife is stubborn; she doesn’t take corrections. I left home to punish her so that she would change for better.
“I never had sex with her daughter and I didn’t know anything about the pregnancy. I don’t want it aborted. When she is delivered of the baby, we will carry out a DNA test on the baby.”
The Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Ambibola Oyeyemi, said the case would be transferred to the command’s headquarters in Eleweran, Abeokuta, for further investigation.
“The victim confirmed that the suspect had carnal knowledge of her several times and the pregnancy test conducted on her was positive,” he added.
Head of states, President Muhammadu Buhari has said if Nigerian has a country to go to, let him go, that the rest will stay here and salvage the country.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by the special assistant to the president on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, Buhari had this to say when he received Niger Delta leaders.
“We are determined to make life comfortable and affordable to all Nigerians. If anybody has a country to go to, let him go, we will stay here and salvage our country.”
Speaking further, the President urged leaders of the region to join him in building the country.
“Please Your Excellencies, Your Majesties, Distinguished ladies and gentlemen; we all have our individual constituencies. Let us try to pacify our constituencies.
Let us first recover our country, secure the country and let us invite people who will invest. Let us create jobs for our people and let us be accountable to our people where we are sitting on treasuries, whether it is local government, state or the center. We should ensure that we rebuild this country.
Nobody wants to fail. So, the only way out is, if people understand and believe that we are doing our best at all levels, then we will have some peace. But it they have reason to doubt our performance and sincerity, then we will have problem”.
Nigerian male music sensation, Iyanya Onoyom Mbuk, who just clocked 30 on Monday, has disclosed one of his regrets in life as not being married before becoming famous.
The 30-year-old, who just signed a new record deal with Mavin records, graced an interview with The Net. When asked why he has no baby mama, or married, like his colleagues in the industry, he said:
“I’ll be honest, it’s not very easy, If I had my way, I would have been married a long time ago by now people will be seeing my kids.
It’s not very easy trying to get this music right and then adding marriage to it.
The truth is even though people think I have that bad boy reputation, I respect marriage a lot, I don’t believe I should get married and get out of it, so I’m not trying to rush into something I’ll rush out of.”
Iyanya said that it is not easy to just date any girl now because their real intention would be in doubt.
“It’s hard to get a girl. If you say you want a girl from the church, you’ll carry devil, if you say you want a dancer, you’ll carry trouble.
I’m just trying to be patient and take my time and it’s even harder now that I’m famous because it’s really hard to find someone that truly cares for you when you are famous.
I think this is one of the things I regret, I should have married someone way back when my mum was still alive. Back then my mum was always on my neck to settle down and at the time I always wondered why but now I see it. I’m not giving up though, I just want to make sure I get this music right.
I’m 30 and I’ve not seen in the bible or any church that’ll say I can’t come to church because I’m 30 and not married,” he quipped.
A Ghanaian juju man, Nana Kwaku Bonsam has claimed that Manchester United’s woes will remain as long as Jose Mourinho remains their manager.
Nana Kwaku Bonsam told Kasapa FM that Manchester United will continue to suffer if the Portuguese fails to apologize to former Chelsea doctor Eva Carneiro as she possesses a devilish spirit.
He said:
“Jose Mourinho is very recalcitrant person I have made this statement and will still repeat again if he doesn’t apologize to Eva Carneiro (the former Team Doctor for Chelsea) he will never succeed in any club he will join,” he predicted. She (Eva Carneiro) possess a devilish Spirit which is causing all these miseries at United and this has even affected the performance of key players like World record signing Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and among others.”
Due to the affection I (Nana Kwaku Bonsam) have for Manchester United I would like to call on the fans and authorities of the club to mount pressure on Mourinho to render an unqualified apology to Carneiro immediately if he Mourinho wants to bring United back to their winning ways and protect his job…… Trust me that will be the only solution or else even if they buy Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo the club will still perform poorly and this will be the worst performance in the history of the club.
Blessing is one of the kidnapped Chibok girls who had earlier escaped before the release of the 21 girls few weeks back – the Federal government later gave her and a group of others scholarship to the United States to study.

This lovely 20-year-old Nigerian lady named Doris, is celebrating 7 years of being an amputee. The beauty took to her IG page to share these lovely photos with an inspirational message.
She wrote:
“TODAY I STILL REJOICE!
Happy anniversary to me!
Today makes it the 7th year of my survival. I shall rejoice during the month of November because this is the month that I had my right leg amputated. 🙂 When God decided that I can be a better person than what I thought I might have been.
November – the month when I stepped into the gravel road, it was never easy; the pain, tears, heartbreak, torture, depression and all the negative vices you can imagine.
After accepting myself for who I am, today I know happiness, love, care, faith, hope, strength and vision with a purpose to be alive because I never gave up. I was not cursed but God chose me to be His living testimony. He made it a point that I am different from majority. Look at me 7 years later, I am a queen and I have been positive.
I am 20 years old, I am a confident young woman. I believe that disability is attitude. I believe I’m no difference from any woman and I cannot be defined less than that.
Basically, I choose not to be defined by my challenges. So in my 7 years as an amputee, I have learned to have self-love, my clutches are my best accessories. I always have my beautiful smile as my make-up. 😀 It defines me before the world. It is the voice to my silence.
I see so much faith in myself and it scares me. To think of where I have been and where I am going makes me emotional. I will change the world tomorrow!
I am happy with or without a limb!! FOOTNOTE:
That something wonderful is going to happen even with all the ups and downs.
Never take a day for granted.
Cherish the little things and hug the ones you love.
No pain, no gain.
I believe we are all bound to face challenges and when they come, we have got to be strong.
#7Years_Anniversary #Amputee_With_Big_Dreams #Disability_Is_Attitude #Confident_Queen”

On Monday, disaster struck at Ekpri Ikot Ene community, Akpabuyo Local Government Area, Cross River State, when an enraged 23-year-old son butchered his father, who is the village head, HRH Francis Ekpo Ene, and dumped his remains inside the family’s pit toilet for persistently accusing him of stealing his money without facts.
According to the report by Vanguard, the killer-son (Francis Ekpo Jnr.) supposedly acted under a powerful and diabolical influence, as he was not known to be a violent person before the sacrilegious incident.
The wife of the deceased, Affiong Offiong Asuquo, said:
“The problem started when my husband’s money started missing and he had always thought that it was his first son, who was responsible for the theft, not knowing that he was not the person involved, and he had always denied being the one.
The height was when he sold his oil and kept N90,000 in a milk can and the money got missing again, he was really angry because he could not fathom why such an amount of money could get missing in his house.”
She confided in Vanguard that the money was actually being stolen by their daughter, who after her escapade, disappeared to her boyfriend’s place and returned after they exhausted the cash, pretending as she knew nothing and the late villager head would rail accusations on the epileptic son.
She said the boy had always said:
“One day; I will slaughter you and throw you inside the toilet for accusing me wrongly.’ All these came to pass that night as the father started shouting at him to provide the money he took from his room, the boy got angry and picked up a cutlass and killed him.”
A community leader observed that the incident was not ordinary because Francis Jnr was not known to be violent.
One of the elders also alleged that it’s a traditional coup as there were some forces that did not like Ekpo’s emergence as the village head.

She took to her Instagram page to apologize.
Read:
“My last 10 hours
1. I want to start by appreciating the intervention of my mentors and well wishers about the story I put out earlier.
2. I also want to apologise to City FM for being dragged into the matter because I never said I am a staff of that radio station so that information isn’t totally correct.
3. I attended a mediation meeting with Omini in which our exchange of messages was analysed and where he said the video he talked about had nothing to do with nudes but a skit he wanted me to feature in(even though it got me wondering why I’d be interested in a skit). It was brought to my knowledge that i must have infered it was the sex video based on our past interaction. I regret this and apologize to him for any pain my release must have caused him. I also apologize to anyone else hurt by my post. The mediators did show that it was not a case of threat but a miscommunication and misinformation.
4. I have read all sorts of interviews as well twisting the type of content the video was. I stand by what I saw and said but i won’t go into further details because it belonged to my past and I know I have been forgiven by God by acting without discretion so I leave the truth about it all to God and the people involved. And I sincerely forgive the trusted friend who shot the video.
5. I want to thank the maturity of the elders that mediated and my mentors and I believe a lot of lessons have been learnt and I will bounce back better from this.
30-year-old singer, Iyanya stands tall as one of the most eligible bachelors in the Nigerian music scene.
With a major change in his career with this new record deal, that sexy body and obviously, no babymama, Iyanya is surely the dream of many ladies but for the singer, not being married till now is one of the things he regrets.
In an exclusive chat with Thenetng, Iyanya says,
‘I’ll be honest, It’s not very easy. If I had my way, I would have been married a long time ago, by now people will be seeing my kids. It’s not very easy trying to get this music right and then adding marriage to it. The truth is even though people think I have that bad boy reputation, I respect marriage a lot, I don’t believe I should get married and get out of it, so I’m not trying to rush into something I’ll rush out of.’
Asked what he’ll look out for in a woman when he’s ready to settle down, he says,
‘It’s hard bro. If you say you want a girl from the church, you’ll carry devil, if you say you want a dancer, you’ll carry trouble. I’m just trying to be patient and take my time and it’s even harder now that I’m famous because it’s really hard to find someone that truly cares for you when you are famous. I think this is one of the things I regret, I should have married someone way back when my mum was still alive.

Humility is indeed a virtue and Ubi Franklin’s older cousin who serves as his personal assistant is cashing in on the reward of this virtue.
The MMMG boss took to social media to share his heartfelt gratitude to his cousin for his loyalty through the years. And what better way to say thank you other than gifting him with a brand new Honda Accord?
Sharing a picture of the gift and recipient, the new dad recounted how uncomfortable he felt when his cousin initially called him and requested to work as his personal assistant even though he is older than Ubi Franklin.
“Fast forward to about 4 years ago when you called me saying you wanted to work for me as my PA or even carry my bag I was so uncomfortable with giving you that portfolio because I still couldn’t believe I’ll call my own cousin and childhood friend my PA and you were Older than me by one year.”
Ubi Franklin also highlighted how his cousin has continually come through during the most important moments of his life; from growing up to losing his twin brother, managing the business when he and his wife, Lilian Esoro, had to be away for the birth of their son, etc.
“When I started the @tiltterraceng project i passed a lot of millions through you to control the contractors and pay vendors, I never had cause to doubt you ,when my wife was away waiting for the arrival of our Son @jaydenubifranklin you held it down for me I never had any reason to doubt your loyalty or sincerity”.
“When I failed in some businesses I tried to venture you were ready to take the pain of begging or even been arrested by the people whose monies were lost in the business. I can’t Thank you Enough.”

Buying a house is generally seen as one of most costly purchases one can make. It’s especially true in China, where house prices continue to rise.
Given what a the challenge it can be to get on the property ladder in the country, it’s probably no surprise that Chinese social media was buzzing with one particular property story last week.
It started when a blog was published on the popular blogging platform the Tian Ya Yi Du forum, by a person writing under the pseudonym ‘Proud Qiaoba’.
Proud Qiaoba penned a tale that, if we hadn’t been able to verify it ourselves, would seem like the plot of a pretty average airport romance novel.
The lead character in Proud Qiaoba’s account is a colleague, whom Chinese media have dubbed ‘Xiaoli’ (not her real name).
Xiaoli, a woman from the city of Shenzhen in southern China, asked each of her 20 current boyfriends to buy her a newly launched iPhone 7. She then sold all of the phones to a mobile phone recycling site called Hui Shou Bao for 120,000 Chinese yuan (about £14,500), and used the money to put down a deposit on a house in the countryside.
Proud Qiaoba wrote in the blog post that when Xiaoli showed her new house to their group of friends, they were all very surprised when she revealed how she had managed to obtain the money for the deposit.
“Everyone in the office is talking about this now,” wrote Proud Qiaoba, “Who knows what her boyfriends think now this news has become public.”
Proud Qiaoba added that Xiaoli “is not from a wealthy family. Her mum is a housewife and her dad is a migrant worker, and she is the oldest daughter. Her parents are getting old and she might be under a lot pressure hoping to buy them a house… But it’s still unbelievable that she could use this method!”
Many people on China’s microblogging site Sina Weibo have been expressing their surprise at Xiaoli’s enterprise and quick work in convincing her 20 lovers to each buy her the latest in Apple’s mobile coterie – particularly since the iPhone 7 was only recently launched, on 16 September of this year,
A hashtag which translates as ’20 mobiles for a house’ quickly began to circulate on Weibo, and became the country’s top trend. It has now been used in excess of 13 million times.
Many social media users, like ‘small sand is growing’, have expressed admiration for Xiaoli.
“I can’t even find one boyfriend. She can actually find 20 boyfriends at the same time and even get them to buy her an iPhone 7. Just want to ask her to teach me such skills.”
Another, ‘TST’ praised her enterprising nature, saying that she has “a bright future.”
But others haven’t been so complimentary.
‘Little Bee’ wrote that Xiaoli was “the most shameless person”.
Others were suspicious and wondered if the whole story was an elaborate product placement for Hui Shou Bao, the mobile phone recycling business.
BBC Trending approached Hui Shou Bao and a company spokesperson confirmed that they had indeed purchased 20 iPhones from a female client at the beginning of October and paid 6,000 Chinese yuan (about £725) for each one.
We put in a request to interview Xiaoli through the company. They responded to our email saying that they had asked their client if she would like to speak to us, but she had declined.
“Her day-to-day life has been affected (from the local media attention) and she doesn’t want the media to continue covering this story,” they said, “so she has turned down your interview request.”
