RomanceThe Politics Of Gold Digging: Nigerian Women Are Not Alone by Adelaide2(op): 3:46pm On May 17, 2018
Nigerian men often see many young Nigerian ladies as gold diggers, and vice versa too. The politics of gold digger name-calling have gone back and forth between male and female Nigerians since eon. I bring you below the news of a true gold digger. The difference between her and her Nigerian female counterpart is that the Nigerian lady will most likely either insist on marrying the old man, or actually sleeping with her, in order to access the gold. This Oyibo woman, in contrast, used ordinary striptease video to attempt to dig her way into gold.


Caregiver stripped on video for 85-year-old. He wanted to leave her 'everything,' cops say

Shelly Streck was getting paid in cash to take care of an 85-year-old man's bedridden wife in Enid, Oklahoma.

Then, authorities say, she took things a step further and began trying to bilk the couple out of nearly everything they owned.

The 36-year-old was charged Friday with two counts of abuse by caretaker, according to online court records.

According to KOCO, Streck showed the elderly man a striptease video of herself and dressed provocatively at his house to get him to give her more than just the cash payments for his wife's 24-hour care.


While the man's wife, 82, remained in bed and unable to communicate since suffering a stroke in 2012, he bought a car and listed Streck as a co-owner, and signed over family heirlooms to her, the station reported.


The man, who is not named because he is potentially the victim of a crime, told officials with Oklahoma Adult Protective Services that he was "changing things to leave everything to Shelly," and that if he died, he wanted Streck and her kids to move into his house and continue to take care of his wife, according to an affidavit obtained by the Enid News.

He gave her extra cash when Streck asked for it, added her name to the bank account he shared with his wife and tried to give her power of attorney, according to the affidavit, but his attorney refused to make that change.

Streck told investigators it was never her idea to add her name to her off-the-books client's list, but a protective services worker stated "it would appear that Streck has been grooming (the man) to take over property and finances for her own financial gain," according to KGWA.

Each count of abuse by caretaker is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine in Oklahoma.

Igbos contributed something and are relegated and referred to as 5% by northerners.

The joke is on you.
Igbos contributed next to nothing (just 5%, remember?) and so are not expecting anything. If they get something it's their luck. In contrast, Yorubas contributed 100% and now are being denied (left, right, and center by the North), and like the rest of Nigeria has nothing to show for their contribution. So the bigger and crueler joke is on you, buddy.

Yoruba People Contributed Nothing To Buhari's Victory - Alhaji Shamsudeen Usman (APC Kano).

**Yorubas Must not blackmail Buhari. Tinubu should not think that controlling Lagos is same as controlling Nigeria.
**the real heroes of the Buhari victory are the Igbos in APC - Gov Shettima (Borno state).

Alhaji Shamsudeen Usman, Kano APC leader has frowned at the insunuation that the Yorubas or the South West was responsible for the Buhari's victory, calling the whole assumption as rubbish.

Alhaji Usman said that "the entire South-West just contributed about 500,000 margin votes which is smaller as compared to what the entire Zamfara, delivered to GMB, not to even call states in the Northeast or Kano".
NOTE: The actual vote margin for Buhari in the 6 states in South West is 611,777 votes according INEC results.

"So what’s it that the region is bringing to blackmail Buhari into handing over the government to Tinubu who thinks controlling Lagos is same as Buhari?”.

Concluding his Sermons on Game of Overthrowns, Alhaji Usman said:
“Each time we talk about Buhari’s administration, people are quick to remind us that without the South-west region, GMB wouldn’t have emerged, that's a lie, with or without that region he would have, it was time for Jonathan to leave and nothing would have stopped him [GMB.]”

The Borno governor, Alhaji Kashim Shettima made a similar statement last month, when he condemned Yorubas that are claiming that they are responsible or should be given credit for Buhari's victory.

Governor Shettima said that the real heroes of the Buhari victory are the Igbos in APC, who ensured that President Jonathan didn't get massive votes in the South East the way he received in 2011, not the South West.

Christianity EtcRe: How Religion Contributed To Underdevelopment Of Nigeria by Adelaide2: 9:28am On Apr 15, 2018
BTW, the traditionalists have not helped matters either. The traditional Nigerian religion falls in the same category of deceit as today's Christianity. Imagine a native doctor asking you to get a human head in order to become rich. You kill someone to get their head, but you never become rich = death and deceit rolled in one chain of event.

Nigeria is so fake you could touch that fakeness.

Your midget of a VP is after all a Nigerian pastor. Nothing much should be expected of him.
Christianity EtcRe: How Religion Contributed To Underdevelopment Of Nigeria by Adelaide2:
How many mosques are in Nigeria? How many imams, alfas and almajiris are in Nigeria?

That said, I agree that religion has been one of the banes of Nigeria and both Christianity and Islam are culpable, more so the latter.

Big difference:

Christianity has been a drain on the poor and a source of wealth for the clergy (pastors and bishops, etc). It has also been a source of deceit (fake healings and fake prophesies).

Islam has been a drain on national development and a source of death for everyone. It is a big source of nepotism too.

Overall, when it comes to how these religions have NEGATIVELY affected Nigeria, then Islam takes the cake.
