A Nigerian model and beauty consultant, Ciata Jolie, has cried out after being duped by a man she trusted enough to do business with.
In a video posted to her Instagram page, the businesswoman admitted that she had been conned out of all of her life savings in less than a month.
She said that she had been saving for a very long period over a number of years and that this year has been difficult for her as a result of losing the money.
Ciata stated that her ambition was to acquire a piece of land, and in December 2022, she will return to her hometown with the money she had accumulated.
She claimed to have come upon a plot of property in her state and spoken to the owner, who stated he had inherited it from his father.
The makeup artist claims that the man assured her that he was trustworthy and has completed customary procedures to guarantee he leads a moral life.
He was quite persuasive, so Ciata handed him the first payment of N4 million, and he then signed the required paperwork.
Unfortunately for her, before she started to work on the land, she paid N400,000 out of which N350,000 was the development fee.
The young woman claimed she received a call from someone claiming ownership of the same land as she was about to depart the village.
She was knocked off balance, and to make matters worse, the other man who claimed ownership painted a figure like a skull on the fence to deter onlookers.
According to Ciata, she paid N4 million for a plot of property that had already been sold, and she later learned that the scammer she had paid was well known for doing such land sales.
The woman shared her problems and gave advice to others not to fall prey to religious or other false notions.
“How I was scammed of ALL my life savings. My heart is shattered!!! PLS SHARE,” she captioned the post.

A Dutch court has ordered a sperm donor, Jonathan M. who is suspected of being the biological father of over 550 children to cease all further donations.
The mother of one of the purported offspring and a nonprofit safeguarding the rights of donor children have filed lawsuits against him as a result of the recent fertility crisis that has shocked the Netherlands.
Jonathan was revealed to have fathered between 550 and 600 children since he started sperm donation in 2007, despite Dutch professional standards stating that a donor should not father more than 25 children within 12 households.
Judge Thera Hesselink said on Friday, therefore, “prohibits the defendant from donating his semen to new prospective parents after the issuing of this judgement.
With the wish that he was willing to donate semen… advertise his services to prospective parents or join any organisation that establishes contact between prospective parents.
Should he continue with his donations, he would face a 100,000-euro ($110,000) fine for every transgression, as well as additional fines,” the court ruled.
The mother of one of the litigated children, Eva, expressed appreciation to the court for stopping the man’s widespread sperm giving.
“Mass donations have spread like wildfire to other countries. I’m asking the donor to respect our interests and to accept the verdict because our children deserve to be left alone,” she said in a statement.

“I talked to Bhadest [Davido], David my visa don comot. He was like, Bro if you can take the next flight to London, take it. So, I pulled up.
The same cloth I wore to the visa office. I didn’t even pack my bags or anything. As I landed in London, I knew that AG [Adekunle Gold] was there, I hit up AG like, Bro, come to save me.
“If you look at the pictures from that show, my hair was rough. I didn’t even get a haircut. My trousers was, like, short because that was AG’s cloth. I took clothes from AG.” He said.

A young lady has shared a shocking tale of how she did not know she was 5 months pregnant while she was raising her 8-month-old daughter.
A video making the rounds on social media captured the emotional narration of a mother who had two kids under a year.
The woman said that because her belly was growing, she would constantly use a waist trainer. She was not aware that she was expecting another child, which surprised her.
In her video narration, she wrote;
“Let’s talk abt how I got pregnant for 5 months without knowing. Few months after giving birth to my daughter, I was growing lean but I thought it was bcoz I was doing exclusive breastfeeding.
I had not yet menstruated which is normal. No sickness, not even a sign of pregnancy. My daughter was growing very well despite my hidden pregnancy. I was putting on waist trainers each very time without knowing I was pregnant.
I finally found out and started antenatal, my daughter was 8 months then. I still breastfeeded her till she was 11 months old. Things weren’t easy at all. I was preparing her for her birthday shoot. I was 8 months pregnant.”

Addressing the issue during an interview on the TV show ‘Your View’, Kunle Remi stated that the snub did not affect his worth or fame.
“I fall into the category of the none nominated artists, it is a new category. It is not my show, its their show. I like the fact that the world spoke, people spoke but we can’t have the answers to that, only them have the answers. But for me it doesn’t reduce my value, it doesn’t make me less of a screen God.
Anikulapo which is what people were expecting still broke the record it broke, still number one watched language film next to Squid Game globally. I put in the work, I saw the efforts and I didn’t do that because of the award, I did it because it was a challenge and it is such a privilege to play that character and we would never forget Saro, I think that’s the greatest award.”
Popular Nollywood thespian, Yetunde Bakare has opined that It’s harder to retain real love after you discover it than to find it in the first place.
In a recent interview with Punch Saturday Beats, she discussed this and gave her views.
She claimed that individuals frequently determine their current relationships in light of their prior experiences, and when anything negative occurs, they quickly retreat in order to maintain their mental stability.
In her words,
“Finding true love is harder than keeping it. It is more complicated nowadays, because a lot of people have had bad experiences and they tend to withdraw easily in order to protect their peace and sanity.
I believe one needs to love, value and discover oneself before thinking of a healthy relationship.”
Speaking on people equating fame to happiness, she stated that it was not true because the rich also cry.
She said;
“That is not totally true, because the rich also cry. If one is a people pleaser, one will have a lot of breakdowns keeping up with fame.
When one is famous, the expectations from the public will be on the high side. People will hardly understand that one is human too.”

The problem with pathological liars is when you lie so much, a day will come when you really need people to come to your aid but they’ll think you’re still lying. Keep catching cruise until you really need help and say the truth but nobody listens.” Another user added.
A Nigerian attorney based in the United States has taken to Twitter to lament the downside of relocating abroad in search of greener pastures.
The man who goes by the handle @ike_obiora revealed that moving overseas has caused him to miss three major family events, including the funeral of his beloved grandmother who raised him and his two uncles.
According to the man who was reflecting on the disadvantages of relocating abroad, he is concerned that his children will miss out on the joys of bonding with their cousins and extended family.
He concluded by saying traveling out of Nigeria is good but it is costly.
I was raised by my Grandma, she died 3yrs ago & I wasn’t there.
My Uncle died 2021, I wasn’t there. Another of my Uncle just died yesterday, and I won’t be there again.
I haven’t seen some of my nephews since their birth.
At what cost again? ☹️
I don’t even want to start counting important events in the lives of friends and family that I have missed.
To japa is good, no doubt, but at what cost exactly?
Families are separated for live only to reunite again at the burial of their parents, if all will be there.
I grew up bonding with my cousins at Grandma’s house. We will always be there for “Ụka Nne” celebration chanting “Nnem ife dị mma ka mụ ga-emere gị” song after overfeeding on ụkwa and Co. Christmas, New year and Easter celebrations are not left out too.
Now, everything is pointing towards me raising children who will never get to have that familial bonding & relationship with their cousins and other relations. Not because I want to, but because it is what it is.
The very thing that made us who we are, are eroded on daily basis.
Nigeria really needs to work. We can’t continue like this in perpetuity.”

She shared a photo of a candle on Thursday evening, April 27, and wrote, “God knows best. Rest in heaven with God, the great son. Kambi Yul-Edochie.”

He said that Davido should have used that large sum of money to invest in his wife Chioma, a talented cook, rather than on a car, which in his opinion is a burden that depreciates with time.
The guy continued by saying that Dangote, whom Davido said in a Forbes interview that he used to purchase two automobiles every eight years, would be unhappy in the musician for disregarding the counsel offered to him.
Nigerian singer, Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, professionally known as Ayra Starr was mentioned in a test at The Catholic University of Eastern Africa in Nairobi, Kenya.

A Kenyan student took to his Twitter account, to share a screenshot of the exam paper and expressed disappointment that their lecturer based the questions on a musician’s song despite studying the other parts of the syllabus intensely.
