Just delete all the pics you posed by a Hummer and you'll be fine.

I'm already getting enough "Spam" messages from a "Mirable" staying with a Reverend Father in a small town in the middle of the desert who has $6m waiting for me in some swiss bank account. *SMH

Efcc should go after these igbo people in lagos. Their lifestyle calls for questioning.Mark zukerberg the owner of facebook uses his brain and not rituals or armed robbery and he is a young boy like these dudes.

I used to think some of those parental lectures were unnecessary yarns, especially as a teenager. But now as a parent, I know better, especially as the are far too many more corrupting influences around us.

Right from when I was a kid, I used to remember warnings we were given:

1) Do not open the door to your house for strangers.
2) Never accept money, food, lifts or gifts from strangers.

Such warnings. Now how does a grown girl just take off to go and meet someone she met on Facebook without a chaperone? My wife never goes to any meeting anywhere with a group of people for the first time without two of my enforcers hanging around: you would not even know who they are or what they are doing. Yet even with this incident, we would still see girls doing Aristo runs and entering cars of strangers they do not know, especially in Abuja.

Cynthia was a young, very soft and sweet girl. She was contacted by people tellling her that she could get merchandise for her boutique cheaply, so she inquired and came down to Lagos, where she was informed the clothes were in a hotel, and she went to inspect them. The murderers, after the incident, proceeded to use her phone to call her friends and family that she was in a hospital in Edo state and requested money be sent to them for her. It was tracing those phone calls that caused them to be caught. Please stop painting this girl as a foolish person who jumped a plane for fun, she was a savvy businesswoman, her first job, she used the funds to set up her boutique so she could be financially independent.

1ndidi2: Okay, dad finished his cup of tea, my younger brother brought Sunday Sun newspaper to him, he read through and saw the 'Cynthia' story. Gbam, he beckoned me and asked if i had seen it
I knew what was coming,so I said yes its an old story and ran into my room.

Mum came out with my other bothers and they made the whole story about me because i am a girl, especially mum saying 'every time 'peepeepee' on the phone/computer, becareful o please my daughter

elder brother is even making it worse by telling them More stories about the 'pains of internet' hmm!


RIP to her.


yea!! dats the pain of having semi literate parents, they could have met anywhere with or without FB, i get more business proposals at the church, hang outs, occasions and even in the office.

security calls; oga pesin wan see you, who? he calls a name, not familiar, ok put him or her on the phone,good morning sir; i am a marketer, let him in.im looking for a job, what is your area of specialty, linguistics,sorry we have no need for them grin grin grin

these are daily life scenarios, for effective business to take place, there must be an element of trust. if in doubt ask inspired autos.

i manage a fleet where all the vehicles were procured by someone i don't even know in person from the US, so advice your parents to sit up and think straight.

Oga fleet manager- u deserve a standing ovation,u have achieved
In life,congrats! If u have a wife and kids(I feel sorry 4 them)
If u are yet to have them(I feel sorry for them)
Semi literate parents don't trust their children-right.
I'm sure ur parents are well educated,my 'semi literate' parents
Are showing concern about d issue and we are discussing
It like a family should. Its not because they don't trust
Their daughter- u are d one that should get ur self important head to think straight.
And wen u are done with that,get ur superiority airs out of here and go hang out with your

Curiosity killed the cat. Trust is one of the risks taken in business. The killers are now in trouble because they abused the privilege trusted in them. Cynthia die because men valued money more than honour. They forgot the principle of love, 'love your neighbour as you love yourself'. The killers shall die a disgraceful death and their families shall live in shame and sorrow.
Cynthia, as you go to the great beyond, may your soul rest in peace.

A very literate parent will also worry about his/her child(ren)? Literacy has little to do with this. Even broad minded parents who have felt that they had taught their kids the basic stuff on personal security and responsibility still had to appraise and ensure that the knowledge passed is still in their brains,especially after this incident.

you don't need this incidence to know that a new business partner u have not met in person, inviting you to inspect and purchase goods, knowing fully well there is a 50% chance u will come with cash, have no business meeting you in a hotel room where the person has little or nothing to lose, common sense dictates that.

from what i think, the truth is that, the girl gave them the impression she is coming to purchase out rightly hence the guys expected her to bring cash, now to play smart, she didn't come with cash but made the mistake of not changing the venue.

i only responded to that smalli because she knows next to nothing how the real life works. facebook or no face book, the guys could have met her in church or any other place or even visit her in the office as marketers.the only mover here is a "good deal" and that is the focus of any successful business man.

some girls will prefer to meet a stranger in a hotel so as to rob you selling the impression she wont be safe in your place. it happens all the time, once they drug you, money, wrist watch, phones etc gone. these runs girls do it on daily basis so "na pesin wey no dey game dey mis yarn". you think that most runs girls that come back with 100k and above most nights really earned it from the guys? you must be living in pluto, they rob their clients on most occasions, 90% even use jazz to make the clients sleep off without touching them after which they rob you blind.

Tell me? a man that invites you to his family house and the one that invites you to a hotel, who is more responsible?

the guy that opts for hotel is the one with cynical intentions is either he is married and doesn't want you to know where he stays or he wants to misbehave so you cant trace him. either way he has nothing to lose.

office or family house where he has something to lose is more appropriate, this is an old rule of the game..parents don't teach you that but experience does.

RIP cynthia
