Celebrities / Sugar Daddy Or Just A Hardcore Hustler? by EdozieRichard: 12:40am On May 08, 2020


I’m not trying to come for anybody, just here to share what I have observed over time with my blog readers

Everything stated here is nothing but my opinion, so if you read too much meaning into it… OPARI, that your BUSINESS to handle and a panadol to drink for your headache.

Today’s conspiracy will be based on a very funny, public figure that everyone sees as a joke, but is making money moves!!! He/she is a popular crossdresser in Africa (let’s name this figure Natasha), I can’t fully confirm if she (he likes to be referred to as a female) has fully transitioned from a male to female… and while am at it, I wanted to get this off my chest… Girl the cloth you are padding in your flat breast is too clockable because HONEY I know they are fake boobs… At least dear get a real boob and let all these men stop drolling over boobs made of cloth. I know and understand you have the fear to go under the knife, even after your bestie had successful surgery last year… But do it for your brand YO!

Going back to Natasha’s humble beginnings, when she was still a tenant causing frenzy online with his gateman and imaginary bae. And by now if everybody doesn’t know that a bae never existed then please go and take your brain cells back from your village people, Natasha was a hardcore hustler who had big dreams, of living the la Vida Loca life with the added incentive of being famous. And she achieved that, with her numerous rants of going to see bae in her imagiNATION, and gullible Nigerians believed and that’s how her name was in our mouth without us even noticing that the more we gossiped about her the more relevant she became… and dear Nigerian there is a formula in show biz globally which is (being relevant=endorsement deals, paid promotion e.t.c). I mean even Kylie Jenner is a regular customer of posting thirst traps on Instagram to still top the algorithm.

In the early stage of her hustle, let’s take it back to 2016/2017. She was a confirm cream seller, I heard her cream was sold internationally making over 600k daily, with the hidden fact that she gets her cream from the jack of all trades then modify it by add hypo (can’t relate). This situation was what caused a fall out between her and jack of all trades (JOAT) because even if Natasha rebranded the product to be her’s the one taking the hit of the aftermaths of adding the chemical was JOAT. This was not only the fall out she had with other celebrities. She had one with an artist who was trying a save what was remaining of his music career, and this was all because the artist refused to pay her money for using her gateman for a music video, in which I knew she would have given the gateman a good percentage out of the money if the deal had gone through as she planned… little did she know that her gateman had a mind of his own with his chicken brain cells as he cut a very cheap deal with the artist personally… I mean that is plain betrayal, and she wasn’t having it at all. Well to cut the story short, the gateman has gone back to his village…. meanwhile, she and the musician aren’t cool anymore.

At this point she wasn’t trying to keep herself relevant online, because anything she says or do was the next top headline gist in seconds, everybody wanted to know who Natasha was that she even bagged the most search person in Google Nigeria in 2017. At this point she was mostly an influencer (as they like to refer to themselves ‘online sensation’….. dumbass MF), her Snapchat was the most viewed, and she capitalized this traffic by doing product/music promotion. While everybody got her name in their mouth talking this talking that, she was literally making millions on a monthly basis from people who decided to drink panadol for another man’s headache. She was making so much from promoting music and products that she bought a house worth 25m.



I think the biggest/major game-changer in her life was when she became friends with her sister in the Lord who is based in Abuja (the overdo foundation owner… the rate at which most celebrities are opening a foundation… at this point, I won’t be surprised if every one of them established a foundation, not that it’s a bad thing… But it’s them calling us STUPID in plain sight!! The foundation is mostly their front gear for helping elite fraudsters clean their money, drug lords, corrupt politicians embezzle money!!) we deviated for a while back there… now back to our Natasha, her sister in the Lord guided her through the show biz world and introduced her to bigger Nigerian boys based in Nigeria and abroad.

If you noticed towards the ending of 2018-2019 the money moves were major not because of her cream business, at this point she still claimed to be selling cream, but in the backyard, she was slowly doing other things and the cream business was closing because she saw another source of income giving her millions.

The first Nigerian big boy she got involved with was the Gucci master, helping him to clean his money was great business for her, she was making millions weekly, monthly by signing endorsement deals then the money will be double the amount even triple when she’s being paid for the said endorsement deal, all the back-to-back endorsement deals were sackam naije. But things didn’t last with the Gucci master as their partnership was torn by monetary issues, due to them continuously arguing about percentage cut (LMAO… can’t relate).

Crime / Reports Shows COVID-19 Was In Saudi-arabi In 2013, Not Wuhan by EdozieRichard: 8:34am On May 07, 2020


When I saw this cut out of a newspaper published in 2013, I couldn’t help but write this article.

From what we can see, the COVID-19 is not a new virus, as it’s being existing since 2013, and my guts tell me it’s being longer than that.



The Colum heading was “NAHCON to distribute nose mask to pilgrims” which proves it was existing but not as erratic and catastrophic effect as it is now, killing over a staggering 1million people globally (yeah, you are thinking right… Mass reduction in the world’s population). The world population continues to grow so much that from 2005-2018 the world population increased by over 1.5billion.

There are reports that the Coronavirus broke out from a Chinese lab in Wuhan, at least that’s what the US president, Donald Trump says continuously, while the official medical reports debunk news that the virus was as a result of a lab breakout in China, rather it originated from an animal in the seafood market in Wuhan. This are all trash as I strongly believe that the Virus was intentionally created by elites as mass population control, and 5G was the only new thing that seemed so dangerous to tie the Coronavirus deaths to.



Many people are currently getting information about the Coronavirus online, and I can’t stress about this enough, “It’s not everything that you see online, is true or that you believe!”. With false information linking the coronavirus to 5G telecoms or Chinese labs is being widely shared on social media. This virus was bioengineered by scientists in a lab to be used as a weapon or a form of mass population control. 5G was a favorite target for many theories long before the Coronavirus surfaced, now it’s just being tied to 5G as being the cause of deaths globally. This is a war the world is fighting not with a physical enemy, but with a micro substance, that’s what we were told to believe. This whole thing just looks like it was cooked up by the actual people that run the world ( if by this time you don’t believe that there’s are not people behind the scenes that we don’t even know their fucking names pulling big and major stunts, then baby you need to know how the planet earthworks between the masses and people in control!)

My take is that the Coronavirus was intentionally created by Chinese scientists as a biowarfare weapon. According to Pew Research, “nearly three-in-10 Americans believe that COVID-19 was made in a lab,” either intentionally or accidentally (the former is more popular: specifically, 23 percent believe it was developed intentionally, with only 6 percent believing it was an accident). Professional conspiracy theorists like David Icke and InfoWars’ Alex Jones, COVID-19 doesn’t actually exist but is a plot by the globalist elite to take away our freedoms. Early weaker versions of this theory were prevalent on the political right in the notion that the novel coronavirus would be “no worse than flu” and later versions are now influencing anti-lockdown protests across several states in the US. Because believers increasingly refuse to observe social distancing measures, they could directly help to spread the epidemic further in their localities and increase the resulting death rate.

Celebrities / COVID-19: Didier Drogba Donates His Ivory Coast Hospital As A Treatment Center by EdozieRichard: 8:52am On Apr 13, 2020

Former Chelsea star Didier Drogba has offered his hospital in Ivory Coast to be used as a coronavirus treatment center, as the country prepares for a huge jump in cases.

The hospital – that is based in the city of Abidjan – opened in 2016 and is named after former Ivory Coast footballer Laurent Pokou, who passed away in the same year it opened. The current outbreak of COVID-19 has remained manageable across Africa, however, there are fears the deadly virus is about to spread much more rapidly.



Drogba has been recognized for his ‘patriotic gesture’ from Vincent Toh Bi Irie, the head of Abidjan’s regional council, who said the hospital will help them fight the disease.

Health / New Ebola Case Recorded In DR Congo by EdozieRichard: 7:57am On Apr 11, 2020
https://edricblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/New-Ebola-case-recorded-in-DR-Congo.jpg

A new case of Ebola has been confirmed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), days before the country's largest-ever outbreak was expected to be declared over.

The World Health Organization (WHO) made the announcement on Friday, April 10, and further disclosed that the new case was confirmed in Beni, a town at the heart of the epidemic in eastern DRC. The patient died on Thursday morning in a hospital after showing symptoms several days earlier.

The new case of the deadly disease was confirmed 52 days after the last case was recorded. Until Friday, no new cases had been registered since February 17.

WHO said in a statement;

"Preliminary information shows that he is a 26-year-old man in Beni territory," the multisectoral committee for the response to the epidemic said in a statement.

"Our teams, in collaboration with the WHO, are already on the ground to deepen the investigations and implement public health actions."

The country planned on Monday, April 13, to declare an end to the outbreak which emerged in August 2018 and has since killed more than 2,200 people.

WHO Director-General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus tweeted;

"After 52 days without a case, surveillance & response teams on the ground have confirmed a new case. We have been preparing for and expecting more cases.

"Unfortunately, this means the government of DRC will not be able to declare an end to the Ebola outbreak on Monday, as hoped. But WHO remains on the ground and committed as ever to working with the government, affected communities and our partners to end the outbreak."

The outbreak has seen the use of experimental Ebola vaccines, a welcome development which has helped in rolling back the disease.
