Bewailing his inability to satisfy his heightened sexual urge, the young man said that’s the case for most black migrants in the UK hence why Nigerian men have phone sex with women back in Nigeria and request for their nudes to satisfy their sexual urge.
He said in part,
“See me now, I don dey here for good…going to a year now and I never see knack o. I get many of them as friends o, girls everywhere buh them no dey gree knack o cause they believe na paper wan make I knack them because they know say if I knack them Wella na, them fit forget themselves begin follow me”.

One of the passengers who was abducted from Kaduna-bound train, Azurfa Lois John has narrated her 191 days ordeal in the camp of her abductors.
Lois, who is 21-year-old Kaduna State University student was among the remaining 23 passengers who were freed last week.
One of the top commanders of the terrorists was said to be in love with Lois and wanted to marry her. Sharing her ordeal with journalists from her hospital bed in Kaduna, Lois revealed she has forgiven the terrorists.
She stated that the terrorists stormed the train in a commando-like-style, shooting indiscriminately, ordering everyone to go out.
According to her, they walked a distance that night before motorcycles came, took them away and they journeyed for four days before arriving at the main camp that became their abode for six months.
“From the scene of the attack, I saw that the train just derailed, the terrorists entered the train, they started shooting sporadically and they asked us to go out. Then, the men were tied up, they collected our phones,” she narrated.
“We walked a distance that night before bikes came. Then, they took us to where we spent that night. We journeyed for four days before we got to where they dropped us, that is their main camp. We were there doing nothing, everyday was just like repetition of the previous day.”
When she was asked how they were fed and treated by their captors, Lois said, “We cook in the morning and in the evening, so we eat twice a day.”
She also confirmed that the terrorists actually bring in medical doctors into the camp to treat sick abductees.
“Anytime we are sick, they bring drugs. The terrorists have medical doctors who come around to give medical care,” she said.
When asked about the plan to marry her off as disclosed by the negotiator, Lois said the terrorists’ commander picked her and proposed to marry her but she rejected the offer.
“Yes, it is true that one of the terrorists commanders picked and proposed to marry me but it just an offer and I rejected it. Once you reject them, they don’t force people. I was not the only one the terrorists offered to marry. They would just ask you, ‘I want to marry you, I want to keep you and I want you to change your religion and convert to my religion.’ So, it is left for you to either agree or reject.”
Lois said that from day one of her captivity, she never knew that one day she would be free again.
“I was just praying waiting for the day I will leave the camp.” she said, adding that news of leaving the terrorists’ camp came unexpected.
“The terrorists just came and asked us to start packing our things. I never knew I was going to come out. Even if I was going to come out, I knew it was going to take a while. So, I was just there praying to God, waiting for the day I would leave the camp.
“The news of our leaving the camp just came unexpectedly. The terrorists just came and asked us to start packing our things. The preparation took a week until the final day when they now asked us to move and they handed us over to the Presidential Committee.
“Now that I am out, I have forgiven my abductors, as much as God forgives our sins too. All what happened are in my past now, the terrorists are in my past too, it is over now, I don’t have anything against them.”
President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities ASUU, Emmanuel Osodeke, has said the union is optimistic about calling off its lingering strike, adding that there is now “light at the end of the tunnel“.

He said,
“Please, let all of us work together to put a beautiful end to this end to this thing we have started so that every Nigerian will be proud that we have universities we can be proud of.
Once again, I want to thank you. I also extend our appreciation to the president for intervening, I want to appeal that in the future, we should not allow strikes to linger. The strike should not go beyond two days.
For the first time, we have seen light at the end of the tunnel.
If the way the national assembly has intervened if we had done that long ago, or those in charge of labour and education had done exactly this, we would not be where we are today.
We would not have stayed more than two or three weeks on this strike. There is strike all over the world — UK, US, all over — but they don’t allow it to last.
So, once again, thank you very much and we hope that working together, in the next few days, we can put an end to this particular imbroglio in the Nigerian educational system.”he added

The man didn’t come down from the car, he told the driver to take him to a hotel and he stayed at the hotel for almost a year. Members of the church had to intercede before he returned home.
The wife knew the nature of her husband. He was extremely quiet and private. In their 30 years of marriage, he had never attended a function or held one. When he attends church, he sits in a corner and leaves immediately after service. Many of the members didn’t even know he was a SAN.
The children knew their father wouldn’t like it. The man’s family members knew it was a terrible idea But madam said “He deserves to be celebrated after all the things he has achieved and done for people” She may have a point but it’s birthday and she shouldn’t impossible her own idea of celebration on him.
I don’t do birthdays and other noise making stuff too. To organise one for me will be to look for my trouble. I may not walk away or frown during the event but we will surely have a sit down after the party”
