A 27-year-old man has been sentenced to jail for his involvement in running a national drugs line.

Yesterday (18 January 2024), Mathias Akinyemi (DOB: 02/07/1996) of Ardwick Green North in Manchester appeared at Manchester Crown Court where he was jailed for 3 years and 11 months.

The sentence comes after the defendant was convicted of possession of criminal cash, and possession with intent to supply Class A and Class B drugs, cocaine and cannabis.

Akinyemi came to the attention of police after he was identified through intelligence that linked him to a national county lines operation, shipping drugs in bulk and in smaller amounts across the country.

On Friday 13 October 2023, officers from Greater Manchester Police (GMP) carried out a search warrant at Akinyemi’s address on Ardick Green North. Inside they found a number of controlled drugs, the remnants of what appeared to be plant growing equipment in the attic and bundles of cash.

A quantity of cannabis was recovered with an estimated street worth of £25,000. Officers also found a block of cocaine stuffed inside a sock and hidden in the toilet which was estimated to be worth £30,000 on the streets of Manchester.

Taking into account the drugs, cash and assets, the total value of goods seized amounted to £100,000.

PC Haydn Cross of GMP Challenger Organised Crime Team said: “The jail sentence that’s been secured as a result of this investigation should serve as a stark warning to other county lines offenders. Greater Manchester Police takes a zero-tolerance approach and is relentless in its pursuit of those involved in serious organised crime.”

A tourist visa extension by a maximum of the duration of initial visa (30 days) while in the republic is permitted by the law. However, there is no guarantee that an application for tourist visa extension (via VFS) would be approved, unless extenuating circumstances are demonstrated. So, unless it's for medical or skilled professional reasons, a 30-day extension isn't worth the hassle.
Relocate via legal means or stay wherever you are a legal resident, and make a meaningful living there. That plan is simply a path to a harsh reality and an eventually rude awakening.

There's no two ways that unemployment is responsible for most of the crimes committed by young ones. I was there and I know it.

I used to do pilfering/petty theft to help myself. Even on this forum, I used to beg or try to swindle people to get any little financial favour just to survive because I didn't have a job.

Could you believe since I got a job (to God be the glory), none of such thought ever crossed my mind again?

With this, I wante to say every bad person out there deserve another chance with a job.

I have changed.

Hello all,
Please does anyone has any idea or advise as to where and how I can book South African local flight from Johannesburg to Capetown and back. I’m to enter Johannesburg soon but I also want to visit Capetown, so if anyone knows the best way to book flight between the two locations, it will be greatly appreciated.

To the glory of God, we completed the purchase of our house (new build) last week. Mentally exhausting but totally worth it. Mortgage was with Halifax (90% LTV). Relatively smooth process with attentive mortgage brokers and pro-active solicitors. We had our snagging on Friday and all issues were cosmetic, which made me so happy 'cos of the horror stuffs I've read about new builds.

Monthly mortgage is about £400 above our previous rent, we fixed for 2 years so hopefully, there will be some calm in the interest rate by the time we re-mortgage.

Grateful to everyone for the invaluable comments and advice.

Look at it, sex is the only thing and place where we have restriction.

Considering The Law in Genesis 2 before The Law in Exodus, we were free in all things eg we were free to eat food,, clothes, travel, relating with people from any tribe, cars, houses, animals etc

But the only thing that we are not allowed to do is to have sex.

The Commandment even Said "Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

And it is in sex that we tell our liitle children as they are growing "Do not let anybody touch you ooh"

It is in sex we say "no dey touch my pikin like dat/i no like how you dey touch me"

It is in sex and for sex that you will hear women say "if you touch me, you go die"

It is in sex that touching is also cheating in marriage.

And it is in sex thst you are not allowed to have sex outside your marriage.

Not necessarily. The going rate for band 5 nurses is between 28 to 29k. Since that occupation is on a shortage list, he can be paid lower between 70 to 90% of the ongoing rate. What most foreign nurses do, once they pass their PIN they move.

I came in as a band 5 worker. However,band 4 salary £23,999 will be paid till I acquired my Pin,it took the board 6months to process my PIN during this time I was paid £1,100 monthly.it was tough and I complained but no serious reponse, I contacted an African snr colleague who said I should just go low and move whenever I feel like, When PIN arrived, there's still a shortage in the payment aside what's on the offer.
