Actress, Mercy Aigbe, can easily relate with mothers because she is one. She had her daughter, Michelle, at 22.
The journey to stardom for her wasn’t a rosy one because she had to trade some of her valuables as a single mother to raise her daughter, who just celebrated her 15th birthday.
“Special shout out to all the single mums…I can relate, hmm I remember when I had to go sell my gold jewellery at Yaba just to pay Michelle ‘s school fees and for us to feed. I went through ‘HELL’”, she recounted.
She further stated, “Please stay focused, be determined, be hardworking and prayerful, put all your trust in the Lord because “we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus” and trust me you will rise above those challenges.
To all mothers, mothers to be , may the Lord continue to strengthen us and may we eat the fruit of our labour IJN. Responsible daddies you ain’t left out. Thank you all once again.”
Head of States, President Muhammadu Buhari will on Monday participate in the five-day 71st session United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, United States.
This is contained in a statement issued in Abuja on Friday by the president’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina.
The statement said that the president would deliver Nigeria’s statement at the opening of the General Debate of the Assembly on “The Sustainable Development Goals: A Universal Push to Transform Our World.”
He said that the president would hold bilateral meetings with some world leaders in furtherance of his administration’s commitment in ameliorating the plight of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the country.
He said that the discussions would also focus on the president’s longstanding commitment to returning peace and security in the North-East of Nigeria.
Adesina stated that the discussions would also focus on restoring calm to the Niger Delta, and attracting more investments to develop critical infrastructure and revamp the Nigerian economy.
Most couples and individuals who come into sex therapist Tammy Nelson’s office want to know the same thing:
Is my sex life with my partner normal?
“They want to know if they are having enough sex, the right kind of sex, if their partner wants too much sex,” Nelson, a sexologist and the author of The New Monogamy, said. “Sometimes, they’re worried that they should be doing something totally different in bed.”
In response, Nelson usually tells people the same thing.
“Forget about ‘normal.’ ‘Normal’ is a setting on the washing machine, nothing more.
What’s most important is that you learn to have empathy for your partner and accept whatever their needs might be, even if they are different than your own,” she explained.
Below, Nelson and other sex therapists share the advice they give couples concerned about their sex lives (or lack thereof).
Stop worrying about how often other couples are doing it.
Forgot about keeping up with the Jones’ very active sex life:
Each couple has a “norm” when it comes to sex and that’s what you should be concerned about, said Dawn Michael, a sexologist and the author of My Husband Won’t Have Sex With Me.
“If a couple had sex three times a week for many years and it’s now down to once a week, the pattern has changed and the frequency has gone down,” she said. “We focus on that in our conversation.”
But Michael also stresses that when it comes to sex, there is no magic number ― and most couples who say they’re getting it on all the time are fibbing.
“A lot of couples will say they have sex three times a week, but from what I see in my private practice, that number does not correlate with the truth.”
What’s normal for you now won’t be what’s normal for you in a few years.
What matters more than finding a nationwide average is determining how sexually satisfied you are at this point in your life, said Chris Rose, sex educator at the website Pleasure Mechanics.
“Your shared sex life is a constant navigation between the tides of your libido, your time and energy, and mutual desire to prioritize sex,” she said. “Frequent conversations about your sex life ― and increasing the amount of affectionate touch you share outside of the bedroom ― may actually be the most important factors in a long-term sexually satisfying relationship.”
Don’t lose hope if you’re the partner with the higher sex drive.
Someone needs to maintain an interest in your sex life.
Otherwise, you might end up in a dead bedroom situation, said Ian Kerner, a sex therapist and New York Times-bestselling author of She Comes First: The Thinking Man’s Guide to Pleasuring a Woman.
As he points out, sex isn’t always spontaneous; sometimes, kick starting your sex life requires focusing on arousal over orgasms and just enjoying the moment and the buildup.
“I tell couples that for many people, sexual desire doesn’t emerge at the start of sex, but more toward the middle,” he said. “You need to commit to generating some kind of arousal (through kissing, making out, dancing, reading erotica or watching porn) that may lead to desire. Be willing to generate arousal and see where it goes.”
If you’re the partner with the lower sex drive, determine if there’s a reason.
If you’re the partner who is less interested in sex, there’s no need to feel shame, said Celeste Hirschman, a sex therapist and the co-author of Making Love Real: The Intelligent Couple’s Guide to Lasting Intimacy and Passion. Desire discrepancy in relationships is more common than most people realize.
As Hirschman’s co-author Danielle Harel explains, if you want things to change, you have to be willing to deep dive into why you’re disinterested in sex.
It could be that you’re experiencing physical and hormonal fluctuations and intercourse is painful ― or maybe you’re just tired of doing the same ol’ thing in the bedroom.
“Sometimes, the lower sex drive partner might not be getting the kind of sex they want or they might be feeling too much pressure from their partner which makes them feel obligated,” Harel said. “Feeling obligated to have sex is definitely not sexy.”
Remember: Good sex can’t be quantified.
At the end of the night, when you’re laying in bed with your partner, don’t stare at the ceiling and wonder if your sex life is “normal” compared to others. Be proactive: Reach out to your S.O. and talk about what both of you want in the bedroom, Nelson said.
“Try new things,” she said. “Snuggle more, masturbate, negotiate an open relationship if you’re into that, but make sure you always talk about what is important to you,” she said. “Never silently seethe or hold resentment.”
She added: “The secret to a satisfying sex life is not just getting the sex that you want, it’s learning how to give your partner what they want, too.”

Well, reports serving rounds, reveals that South African Minister of Higher Education and Training, Blade Nzimande has announced plans to have witchcraft included in the curriculum from 2018, giving students who wish to get an education on witchcraft the chance to do so in the country’s universities.
The minister made this known while addressing representatives from student unions around the country, adding that the introduction of the course is aimed at learning skills which are peculiar to people who practice witchcraft.
Announcing the bizarre move, he urged future university entrees to consider taking Witchcraft as a course.
He is quoted as saying:
“There is a lot we can learn from witchcraft, like how they fly in that winnowing basket. Imagine if we learn that skill. It will eradicate traffic jams and everyone will just get in their basket and fly. It also means we will not be importing fuel anymore.” He said

Three-year-old Darasimi Ogunwunmi, a Kindergarten One pupil, who drank caustic soda left carelessly around his classroom by teachers of his private school, Fahsal Children’s School, Ilupeju Estate, Idiroko, Ogun State in November 2015, has died, PUNCH reports.
After nine months of agony, being unable to swallow either liquid or solid food and six different surgeries at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Darasimi succumbed to his injuries few days after his last surgical operation on Monday, September 12…
The last surgery was another attempt to open up the boy’s stomach and throat which had become damaged by the chemical, which he drank when he was thirsty in school.
It happened on November 19, 2015 when Darasimi became thirsty and his teachers turned a deaf ear to his incessant cry for water. Part of the caustic soda already mixed and allegedly left around was what Darasimi drank from.
His teachers only realised what had happened when the boy was found outside his classroom crying and bleeding from the mouth, it was learnt. The teachers applied palm oil to the boy’s mouth but rushed him to the hospital when they realised his case was critical.
Ogun government promised us justice, did nothing – Boy’s parents
Ogun State Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Modupe Mujota, said that she had constituted a team to investigate the case. But the family explained that nothing had been done about bringing the proprietor of their son’s school to justice.
The publication contacted the commissioner on Thursday to ask if anything was ever done about the boy’s case and what the outcome of the state’s investigation was.
“There was a full investigation. But because there was no hard evidence, it became difficult to take the issue up legally. We combed the premises of the school and nothing was found, probably because time had elapsed and the school might have cleaned up,” Mujota said.

The ace comedian has evolved to be the highest paid comedian in Africa (arguably) – if one had told him 13 years ago, that he’d be what he is now, I’m sure he’d take a hard look at himself in doubt.
He captioned the photo:
It was in Apapa, about 13yrs ago. Can’t remember the name of the joint but I remember we were drinking beer with suya on the side, the days you can entertain a group of 10 peeps with less than N3,000. Met @kayodeariwayo in secondary school 26yrs ago, since then we’ve been 100%, been working won’t him now for 10yrs….please give him a hug on my behalf when you bump into him. Finally…..WHAT WERE THEY LOOKING AT??!!!!
I was lounging in my sitting room on this lazy Saturday morning when my cousin breezed in with this beautiful damsel, his new girlfriend. After formally introducing her, I couldn’t help but notice her statistics, very impressive I must say.
My cousin is a certified player; only 33yrs old but I swear, e don do pass me. When I was in the world, Kai, did I have my fill of very beautiful women: when men were men, no be now wey we dey go night vigil before we can get a hard-on. Who say old age na good thing.
Yea, I know what you’re thinking….
Men are often thought of as visual creatures. You can’t blame us for being superficial when it’s hardwired into our brains, can you? That’s what we say, at least, as a defense, because most of us are defenseless when faced with an incredibly beautiful woman; but as old solider concerned, I have A1 in holding body, wetin Oyinbo people call discipline.
Back to my cousin, his babe excused herself at some point to use the washroom, as I fired the first shot by congratulating him on a very beautiful catch, come and see heavy complaints, he started telling me all that was wrong with his girl. Haba, they have only dated for just three months! “Uncle Charly, she is only a fine face o, she can’t cook, she can’t f..k, all she’s good for is this kinda comment I get every time and everywhere I go with her but na dat one I go chop? Infact, I’m not sure I will be with her for long”, he murmured bitterly.
What do I say to all of that?
I have learnt from experience that out of the hundreds of very beautiful and pretty women I dated when I was in the world, most of them really were nothing to write home about when it came to bedmatics. My cousin’s statement therefore was only reaffirming what I have known all along. I know this is a theory many guys would love to argue out with me, but, hey, it’s just my personal opinion. Most pretty faces out there are not great lovers at all.
You see, the world does a great job of constantly reminding pretty, beautiful, fine women how hot they are. Yes, she’s heard it before. She’s probably been hearing it continuously since she was 12yrs old and this can have a number of effects on a woman. A particular effect is that she might have an inflated ego, thinking she’s all of that, hence no need for her to make extra effort at being proficient in the bedroom department. So so wrong. She may not realize it until she’s way into a relationship, but there’s no mistaking someone who is totally certain she’s got everyone around her sucking up to her including you.
As a result, some of them become lazy, uninteresting f…k. Yes o.
I also understand that some of them hold back a lot by being inexpressive so that some of us don’t think that they are ashawo’s. For some others, they were raised to feel its loose behaviour and taboo for them to even WANT sex, let alone ENJOY it. It’s no wonder they just lay there.
So ladies, it’s time to find out from your man if you meet all the bedroom requirement, especially if he knows what he is doing too. Even if you’re not a rock star in bed, work it out with your man so you both can find each other’s G-Spot.
Hopefully guys, when you finally get a chick who is a killer in bed, please don’t get stuck like so many other guys do, being haunted by how many people have watered her garden; just kick back and enjoy it and don’t get caught up on wondering how or where she learned the skills from.
And for women, find men who can enjoy sex with you without being intimidated or overwhelmed by a woman who knows what she’s doing.
Sex and sexuality is a serious matter.
It doesn’t matter who chooses to be on top or under, whatever you do, just be on top of your game, make memorable screws, ones that leave your man thoroughly pleasured all the time; no just be fine girl with no action.
Only God knows what Meek Mill did to all these rappers that they’re out to get like this oh! Abi eez because of his babe?! Hehe…
While we have not the slightest clue the rapper may have done to The Game, we know of a surety that it must have been something pretty bad for The Game to drag him though the dust by posting a sexy shirtless pic with Nicki Minaj.

Lol… The comedian was charged £200, that’s a whooping N110k, just to taper his hair in London – he obviously didn’t like the price, so he took to Twitter to rant.
Would any of you pay the sum, just to taper your hair?!
An eight months old baby, a nursing mother including an eight year old boy and ten others have been confirmed dead in a bloody robbery attack on villages in Sengev council ward of Katsina/Ala local government area of Benue state.
According to Saturday Vanguard, a source who craved anonymity revealed that the victims were murdered in cold blood last Wednesday evening while on their way from farm..
He said:
“the gang who we suspected to be ‘Gana’s’ men came from Gbishe which used to be their stronghold before now, in a commando fashion to rob in the village but they met a stiff resistance from the vigilante group in the area.”
“Two members of the gang who were about five were capture and set ablaze by the people, only for those that escaped to stage a come back shortly after this time well prepared for a bloody fight and started shooting sporadically, killing anybody they met on their way.
“It was in that madness that they killed the innocent woman and her children who at the time were running back home for fear of being killed in the farm and several other persons including livestock were also hacked down.
“At this time the people in the villages had started fleeing from their homes but those they caught up with were gunned down after which the well armed men beat a retreat.”
“As I speak with you, the area has been deserted while security operatives have moved in to patrol the community.”
Corroborating the story, the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, for Benue state, Assistant Superintendent, ASP, Moses Yamu who confirmed the death of the toddlers and their mother blamed the killings on the wanted militia leader, Terwase Agwaza also known as ‘Gana’.
According to Yamu, a five man gang of armed men and loyalists of the ‘Gana’ besieged Sengev council ward, a community less than ten kilometres from the Gbishe where they were resisted by members of the vigilante group who also lynched two members of the gang.

Nike Akinbile, a mother of three has dragged her husband to court.
The woman took her husband to a Mapo Customary Court, Ibadan, where she revealed that her husband Femi is desperately making effort to use her for monetary ritual.
According to Vanguard, Nike, who resides at Olunloyo Area, Ibadan, made this known when she testified in her divorce proceedings against Femi on Friday.
“For the past two years now, Femi has been making frantic effort to get rich at all cost and I am his primary target for that purpose.
“Not too long ago, I was just lying on the bed, Femi thought that I had slept off, so he attempted to strike my eyelids with traditional eyeliner also known as tiro.
“I have received several visions that he wants to use me as a sacrificial lamb for the ritual he is making and I don’t want to die now,’’ she said.
She said that the respondent don’t `even cater for her and the three children, adding that they lack access to basic care.
Nike, who urged the court to dissolve the 11-year-old marriage, said that she had made up her mind about parting ways with him and nothing could change it.
In his defence, Femi, a businessman of Akanran Area of Ibadan, denied all the allegations and opposed the divorce petition.
Femi said that he did not want the children to encounter any problem in life and that was the reason he wanted the union to continue.
“Your honour, I have suffered greatly all this while to sustain and marry Nike. I was the one that sent her to school and made her self-employed.
“For Nike’s education, I enrolled, wrote her examinations for her as well as supervise her other academic pursuits.
“In order to be well balanced in life, I encouraged her to learn tailoring which is her source of livelihood today.
“As if those are not enough, I buy Nike all sorts of ladies’ make ups to make her look beautiful and good, but Nike does not use any of the things like shoes, bags, clothes, and so on.
“Instead, Nike always tell me that she must take them to the church for cleansing and eventually dumped them.’’
He said the major conflict was that “we don’t attend the same church, her pastor told her that the make ups I give her are weapons of devil’’.
Femi told the court that Nike compelled their underage children to fast for days, thus, giving the impression that they were from impoverished and wretched home. He tendered sacks of the make-ups he bought for his wife over the time as exhibit.
The court’s President, Mr Henric Agbaje, in his judgment, held that it was painful that some religious leaders influenced their followers with unacceptable doctrines that might result into marriage break ups.
“Well, since Nike has refused to be pacified to settling the dispute amicably, the court has no other option than to put an end to the union.
“Femi shall take custody of the first two children who are no more legal minor, while Nike shall take custody of the third who is still a legal minor.
“In the interest of peaceful coexistence, the union between Nike and Akinbile has ceased to be henceforth,” he said.
After leaving her ex-husband on grounds of irreconcilable differences, Sultry actress, Biodun Okeowo popularly known as Tolani Oshirin, is without doubt one of the hottest single mums in the entertainment industry.
However, while talking about her past relationship recently, the delectable thespian revealed why she wept the day she learnt that her former husband had remarried. “I don’t regret leaving my ex. In fact, I don’t feel anything for him anymore. No pains, no regrets. He tried to get me back but I just couldn’t continue with him.
“The only day I felt bad and cried was the day I heard he has remarried. That he actually paid someone else’s bride price made me cry. In my case, my family members were begging him to come and pay.”
The wave-making actress has since learnt her lessons and is now looking out for certain criteria in any man she may want to have as a partner.
“Trust and God,” Okeowo intones, adding, “The man must be God fearing. Any marriage that has sincere trust and God will survive. The problem with actresses and their spouses is lack of trust. They feel whenever you step out for weeks for a shoot, some funny things happened along the way.
“The media too is not helping matters, they cook up all kinds of stories and your partner might swallow them hook, line and sinker. In fact, there was this story I read about myself; that my ex-husband chased me out of his house because of infidelity. I was surprised because such a thing never happened. If it did, he wouldn’t have come back begging to reconcile with me. I never cheated on my ex for once. I might be temperamental but not a cheat. Those kinds of fake news break homes.”

A married woman is definitely in hot soup as she finds herself in a blackmail mess after having an affair with a young man.
Red Below:
Hello Ladies! We must be extremely careful who we have fun with these days. I am saying we because it could happen to anyone. There is a nude picture going around of a married lady allegedly from the US on holiday in SL who ended up having extra- marital affairs with a young man. After sex, he demanded $10,000. When she couldn’t pay out he sent the pictures to her husband and made it public. . I will share the unfortunate pictures because this is a women’s group and to alert you to the man and the new dangers facing us. You don’t need to be married, you can be single and just wanting some fun. Be careful, it could be you or a close associate.
This is a trending joke on Instagram which is currently gaining the attention of women who are using it as a yardstick to measure the infidelity of men.
According to the short story, a man met his housemaid ‘breastfeeding’ their baby as a way of calming him down in the absence of the mother.
The man found the action poisonous and unhygienic so he decided to suck the boobs of the housemaid to confirm if any substance was being released from the nipple only for his wife to nab him in the act.
Three-year-old Darasimi Ogunwunmi, a Kindergarten One pupil, who drank caustic soda left carelessly around his classroom by teachers of his private school, Fahsal Children’s School, Ilupeju Estate, Idiroko, Ogun State in November 2015, has died.
After nine months of agony, being unable to swallow either liquid or solid food and six different surgeries at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Darasimi succumbed to his injuries few days after his last surgical operation on Monday, September 12.
The last surgery was another attempt to open up the boy’s stomach and throat which had become damaged by the chemical, which he drank when he was thirsty in school.
For Darasimi, the last days of his short life were spent in a condition his mother, Toyin, described as a living hell.
Toyin told our correspondent, “My son would have died long ago if not because of the money that kind Nigerians raised for his treatment. The money financed his surgeries and rehabilitation since that time.
“If I knew he had no chance of survival, I would have prayed that God should give him rest long ago because my son suffered for every day he lived after that incident. Every day, I saw him lying in the hospital bed or sitting at home struggling to drink ordinary water with pain, I cried bitterly.”
Saturday PUNCH had exclusively reported in January and February how the proprietor of Fahsal, Mrs. Fausat Abubakar, allegedly introduced soap making business on the school premises.
But rather than remove the production far from the reach of her pupils, the boy’s parents alleged that the soap was being produced right beside the classrooms.
On November 19, 2015, the worse happened when Darasimi became thirsty and his teachers turned a deaf ear to his incessant cry for water.
Part of the caustic soda already mixed and allegedly left around was what Darasimi drank from.
His teachers only realised what had happened when the boy was found outside his classroom crying and bleeding from the mouth, it was learnt.
The teachers applied palm oil to the boy’s mouth but rushed him to the hospital when they realised his case was critical.
Ogun government promised us justice, did nothing – Boy’s parents
After Saturday PUNCH’s story, the Ogun State Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Modupe Mujota, said that she had constituted a team to investigate the case.
But the family explained that nothing had been done about bringing the proprietor of their son’s school to justice.
Our correspondent contacted the commissioner on Thursday to ask if anything was ever done about the boy’s case and what the outcome of the state’s investigation was.
“There was a full investigation. But because there was no hard evidence, it became difficult to take the issue up legally. We combed the premises of the school and nothing was found, probably because time had elapsed and the school might have cleaned up,” Mujota said.
When asked what step the ministry took after the completion of the investigation, she said an action was taken against the proprietor.
But the commissioner said she could not disclose details of what that action was when asked for details.
She said, “There are larger factors to be considered when you want to close down a school like the population the school is serving.”
When our correspondent finally told Mrs. Mujota that the boy was dead, she expressed surprise and said “we were not informed.”
She also said after our initial reports, the state government team had visited the family twice.
“If they say we did not visit, between when and when are they talking about? We have pictures as evidence of our team’s visit to the child and his mother. There were allegations from the school proprietor that the boy’s parents were trying to extort her. We went to verify the claim.”
The Federal Government has apologized to Nigerians for the plagiarism pointed out in the president’s speech at the just concluded “Change Begins with Me” campaign in Abuja,.
Reacting to comments by Nigerians through the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media, Garba Shehu .
Mr Shehu responding to the allegation through his twitter handle @Garshehu .
“PMB has ordered that prompt & appropriate disciplinary action be taken against those responsible for a wrongful insertion in his speech delivered on September 8, 2016 at the launch of the “Change Begins with Me’’ campaign.”
“It was observed that the similarities between a paragraph in President Obama’s 2008 Victory Speech and what President Buhari read in paragraph 9 of the 16 paragraph address while inaugurating the Campaign on Thurs., Sept. 8, are too close to be passed as coincidence. There was a mistake by an overzealous staff and we regret that this has happened. Already, a Deputy Director in the Presidency has accepted responsibility for the insertion of the contentious paragraph.”
” This serious oversight will be investigated thoroughly and appropriate sanction meted. The Presidency wishes to state in the clearest possible terms that it regrets this unfortunate incident and will ensure that this does not happen again”
” President Buhari urges Nigerians to look beyond this incident and focus on the message of change which the country needs in order to restore our cherished value systems” he said .

Ladies have been to be very careful with the type of people they deal with on Facebook as scammers are now using the social media platform for their nefarious activities.
According to a story shared on LailasBlog, a serial scammer is reportedly using the photo of an unidentified man to scam ladies. People who know the man are advised to notify him immediately.
Here is the woman’s story warning ladies to be careful with guys who promise them heaven on earth on Facebook and social media as they may be fraudsters in hiding.
The lady wrote:
“I got a friend request from Praise Obiora, checked through his profile, saw no mutual friend but accepted it because I saw his post where all reasonable and he had the innocent look.
He chatted me almost immediately, told me he was in Abuja before but just relocated to Jos and managing his company while I reside and was working in a firm at Lagos.
I questioned him why the request, and he said always admire my quotes and my personality on Facebook and would like us to be friends. I told him wasn’t interested and we quarreled and I told him I doubted his personality.
Finally we became Friends and I gave him my number while he called me with this-08064371508.
I asked about his family told me his father is late and his only sister is studying in Australia, and mum staying in Calabar. 2 weeks later he informed the mum about me but didn’t let her know we haven’t met. He gave me his mum number (08160439168) to call her, I spoke to her and the elderly woman’s voice was just calling me ‘my son’s wife’, she has heard lots about me and I wasn’t comfortable with that. I called Praise later and he was just like this is the mums way of putting marriage pressure as the only son.
The next week he told me he got an offer from his land agents in Enugu but his money wasn’t complete though and the offer was till on Tuesday,I consoled him that he will get another if this passed by, but he was just lamenting that is a good offer and site was the best for family training so became more suspicious, someone I met less than 3 weeks is requesting for money indirectly and giving me insight about his plans.
The mum called me on Sunday night that I should try my best to assist that my “Husband” was worried, she would support with 100k, while the balance was 200k, and the land price was 1.6million. I told her I would try though I don’t have but will ask my colleagues. I then ignored them until Wednesday night, and told her I was disappointed by them (colleagues).
The next week the guy called me that he was traveling to USA for a 2weeks workshop and I should take care of her mother and calling me with this: +19175039019, and sent me pictures of him in US also. Days later Praise called me that his mum was rushed to hospital and they needed money and she was unconscious so a nurse was attached to her and needed money before they can start any treatment on her but the money was to be sent to the nurse, I requested for the hospital account number and name- instead and they where blabbing this was sent-FCMB 3905853015 Mba Ogechukwu, and hospital is Mercy Multi Specialist, Calabar. I googled the name and only Abuja location was on the website.
This drew my suspicion again.
Weeks later, Praise arrived Nigeria (as he claimed) and informed me he was going to visit his mum and afterward visit me in Lagos on 29th Aug. I had lost my job around this time this incidence happened in less than 4 months.
Unfortunately, there is this babe that I noticed liked some of his pictures and i became inquisitive and she was just shouting ‘Scammers’. I told her my story and she said almost same happened to her about twice with different names and was later blocked and gave me the number used: 09032883159. I told her was going to post it online and let people be aware. I was still playing ignorant of Praise game.
The height of the matter was on 26th August,got a call from the mother by 10.20pm that she is yet to see her son and his numbers where not going and if I heard from him. She called all night that he is yet to get home.
Next day same thing not back, on my way for my program class, I called her and she was crying Over the phone that unknown number called her and was requested for 10 million to release her son. I told her to negotiate and pay up. That I wasn’t working again hence didn’t have money and she made statement of me telling my parents. I became furious at this point and asked why they should help someone they haven’t met and they ‘re not desperate for marriage.
2 days later, I requested for account number that I was going to tell my uncle who is capable and this was provided: Ogugua Charles- 6019948788 Keystone Bank,
I requested for BVN that my uncle needed it to complete the transfer. A young man claiming to be the mum’s brother said it can’t be sent to me that it is personal that I should know this. However while speaking on the phone his voice wasn’t clear. I guessed he used something to cover his mouth.
I just got fed up immediately because I suspected he was the person speaking and then I opened up told him his game was over. I rained curses on him then hung up.
I ‘ve been blocked by his mother and his 2 numbers are still not going till date. During the investigation discovered it has happened to 2 ladies which one fell victim for and gave out her money-150,000.
Please ladies be careful of the kind of post and pictures we upload and privacy settings.Trust no one and don’t seem desperate most especially for marriage..
