CrimeRobbers Raid Nollywood Actor,nkem Owoh's (osuofia's) House In Enugu.. by Arrowman(op): 11:45am On Sep 14, 2012
Armed robbers on
Wednesday night raided
the home of Nollywood
star, Nkem Owoh, at
Phase 6 Trans-Ekulu
Layout Enugu.
The robbers carted away
properties worth millions
of naira from his home,
including his newly
acquired black coloured
Mitsubishi Montero Jeep
with number plate BU 64
FST worth about N8
million, alongside other
valuables..
Owoh, popularly known as
Osuofia, was not at home
when the robbers broke
into his house, a duplex,
as he was said to be in
Lagos where he was
shooting a movie.
When journalists visited
his home on Thursday, the
place looked deserted and
there was nobody around
to speak on the matter.
However, when reached
on phone, Owoh confirmed
the incident, saying he
lost his laptop, video
camera and Jeep to the
hoodlums.
Owoh described the
incident as “very
unfortunate”, adding
that he had reported the
matter to the Enugu
State Police Command for
necessary action.
When contacted on
telephone, Police Public
Relations Officer (PPRO)
for Enugu State Command,
Ebere Amaraizu, confirmed
that hoodlums broke into
Owoh’s home.
He however said it was
not a case of armed
robbery, but car theft
and burglary.
“Yes, the man was
away from his home and
some people who knew
that he was not at home
took advantage of his
absence and broke into
his house.
“The hoodlums made
away with his Jeep. But,
it is not a case of armed
robbery or armed banditry
as you are portraying
it”, Amaraizu said.

PoliticsPresident Jonathan To Host Paralympians, Falconets by Arrowman(op): 6:52am On Sep 13, 2012
President Goodluck
Jonathan is to host
the Nigerian delegation
to the paralympic
games as well as
members of the
Falconet in
appreciation of their
sterling performance.
The Nigerian
paralympians Tuesday
night rejected the
National Institute for
Sports hostel
accommodation
reserved for them
after they touched
down in Lagos from
their triumphant run at
the London 2012
Paralympics Games.
Minister of Information,
Labaran Maku, told
state House
correspondents that
the superlative
performance of
members of the Team
Nigeria Special athletes
at the just concluded
Paralympic Games in
London “have wiped
away our tears”.
According to him, the
Paraolympians and the
Falconets performance
at the just concluded
FIFA Women U-20
Championship in Japan
was brilliant, and the
planned reception this
saturday is to send a
clear message that all
athletes are important.
“They (Paraolympians)
have wiped away our
tears. The message
they have sent is that
we need a greater
passion in what we do.
Their performance
confirms that every
citizen is important.
The reception will send
a clear message that
all is important”, he
noted.
On the Falconets, the
Minister described the
performance of the
female junior team that
came third as
“ventilating”, adding
that “they showed a
lot of talents and
defeated very great
football nations.
“They have
demonstrated that
when women are
asking for 35 per cent
they mean it. It is a
clear indication what
women can do better
where men have
failed”.
At the London Games,
the Nigerian special
athletes won a total
of 13 medals; six gold,
five silver and two
bronze medals. The
performance lifted the
dampen spirit of
Nigerians when the
able bodied athletes
could not win a single
medal at the main
London Games London.

Hisses, Sighs as
Paralympians reject
NSC’s
accommodation
However Nigerian
paralympians Tuesday
night rejected the
National Institute for
Sports hostel
accommodation
reserved for them
after they touched
down in Lagos from
their triumphant run at
the London 2012
Paralympics Games.
Some of the athletes
spoken to submitted
that the NIS hostel did
not match their status
as paralympics heroes.
The athletes were
treated to a mini
reception at the
National Stadium Lagos.
And they were
shepherded into the
NIS hostels by the
National Sports
Commission Liaison
officer in Lagos, Mrs.
Tayo Oreweme, but
one by one they
sneaked out of the
premises preferring to
lodge in comfortable
hotels on their own,
while those who have
homes in Lagos went
to their abodes.
“We felt that they
will be secured at the
NIS after a reception
was held for them at
the National Stadium.
I’m aware that some
of them went home,
but I cannot say if
they protested against
what was offered to
them,” said
Secretary-general of
the Nigeria Paralympics
Committee, Dr. Frank
Thorpe.

Nairaland GeneralNew N5000 Note Already Printed Abroad? by Arrowman(op): 5:03pm On Sep 12, 2012
While Nigerians are busy
going back and forth over
whether the N5000 note
should be introduced or
not, fresh information has
it that there are
speculation that the
controversial note might
already have been printed
abroad and shipped into
the country, preparatory
to distribution as early as
January next year.
This is despite the fact
that both the House of
Representatives and
the Senate are insisting
that they are yet to
give approval for the
new note.
But the presidency has
given its blessings to the
introduction of the new
note.
However, the Central
Bank have come out to
declare that what had
been printed was just the
design and not the original
naira note which will come
into effect in March 2013.

RomanceSix Tips To Getting A Man. by Arrowman(op): 4:41pm On Sep 12, 2012
1. Learn to do solo
trips. It's just easier
for most guys to step
to a girl on her own,
than one in a pack of
girls
2.Make friends with
married women. They
know what guys want
more than your single
friends (that's why
they're married)
3. Be careful not to be
TOO INDEPENDENT.
Learn to gain from
your man's presence in
your life. Guys need to
be needed
4.Drop guys that take
all ur time without
really chasing u. They
block other guys. No
IWC= Intimacy Without
Commitment!
5. Make an effort. Try
to look nice. Work out.
Guys like babes. Get
that Don King hair
done, stop forming"Oh

6. Don't give it ALL up.
Leave some for
marriage. Perfect the
art of giving previews.
Nobody pays for free

FamilyWisdom Tips For Peaceful Co-existance among couples. by Arrowman(op):
A woman once said
"Beauty attracts men but
wisdom keeps them.
Elegance catches men's
attention but intelligence
convinces them. Nagging
irritates men but
'constructive silence
weakens them.
The 'boy' in every man
pumps out occasionally,
the ability to handle this is
a woman's truest maturity.
Men have secret struggles
and silent pains, should you
ever find them out, you
have exhibited the
greatest maturity. In the
long-run your 'words'
matters more to a man
than your 'looks', so invest
the right words.
Earn a man's respect and
he will consider you the
yard stick for all his action.
Learn to mold the moods
of your man. Men will
naturally give u their
futures if they can recall
your maturity in
yesterday's issues...
Women are everywhere
but QUEENS are scarce.
Let the Queen in you come

TV/MoviesHomosexuality And Piracy Is Killing Nollywood- Mr. Ibu by Arrowman(op): 6:26pm On Sep 09, 2012

Nollywood actor, John ‘Mr. Ibu’ Okafor was a recent guest on Golden Icons interview session.

The comic actor discussed about the rate of homosexuality in the Nigerian film industry otherwise known as Nollywood. Speaking with Ema Emerson, Mr. Ibu clearly shows his disdain, as he alleged that homosexualty was one of the two things killing the Nigerian movie industry, the other being piracy.

‘I’m sorry if my friends are involved. It is a virus and it is killing our industry. If there is any way in this world that people can make them stop it or kill it, please do it’, Mr Ibu stated.

‘God will punish you, because God did not advise you to do it. God desgined women and dashed us for free’, the actor added.

PoliticsICAN President Cautions CBN Gov Over N5000 Note by Arrowman(op): 5:24pm On Sep 09, 2012
Adedoyin Idowu Owolabi,
ICAN President, has
warned the Governor of
Central Bank, Sanusi
Lamido Sanusi, that
CBN’s repeated change
in its monetary policy rate
is an indication of severity
of inflation which it has
been targeting for some
time. “If unemployment
was lower, it would not
have been a cause for
worry given the
established inverse
relation between
unemployment and
inflation.”
He explained that : “ To
print more currency as
envisaged without earning
foreign revenue to
support its value will put
more inflationary pressure
on the naira and lead to a
diminution in its value.
Indeed, one of the indices
of a growing inflation,
from economic history, is
the creation of higher
denominations as
exemplified by Argentina,
Peru, Poland, Russia,
Democratic Republic of
Congo, Angola,
Zimbabwe”.
While commending the
initiative to redesign the
security features of the
nation’s currencies with
a view to reducing the
huge annual royalties paid
to foreign interests, ICAN
also noted that caution
should be taken in some
areas.
“There is nothing
fundamentally wrong with
the idea to introduce the
N5,000 as there are some
benefits to be derived.
Beside, having the
potential to reduce
royalty payments on
existing security features
as well as the cost of
printing and maintenance
of the currencies, the
initiative will enhance the
profitability of the CBN
and its ability to generate
funds for the
government.”
He stressed: “In spite of
the above benefits, we
are not persuaded that
the N5,000 denomination
should be introduced. At a
time when the size of
government deficit is
about 2.8% of GDP
(although within
acceptable limit), the
intention to spend
N40billion for this exercise
appears to be both a
waste of scarce public
resource and
misplacement of priority.
Set against the benefits,
the proposed expenditure
of N40billion will add little
or no value to wealth
creation.”
From this perspective ,
the introduction of N5000
note will eventually alter
the pricing structure of
products in the market
leading ultimately to the
permanent disappearance
of the 5, 10, 20 & 50 naira
notes (and even the
proposed new coins) from
circulation. “ The
extinction of these smaller
denominations will
negatively impact the
buying capacity and habits
of low-income earners and
the poor as goods and
services will be priced
above their levels.
Sustained increases in
prices may the unintended
consequence.”.
The group also advocated
that the CBN should work
towards strengthening
the purchasing power of
the naira through policy
consistency. “ The
steady slide in the value
of the naira in relation to
other currencies like the
USA dollar, British pound
sterling, etc, as an
import-dependent country
should be a major source
for concern. As an
import-dependent nation,
when Nigeria converted to
naira and kobo in 1973, the
exchange rate was GBP
£1=N2.00 and USA$
0.30=N1.00. Today, the
exchange rate is now GBP
£1=246.31, USA$1=N157.50.”
Owolabi added: “ From
the literature and empirical
experience, devaluation
benefits export-oriented
economies. As a mono-
product and import-
dependent economy, we
are most unlikely to
benefit from the resultant
devaluation that this
initiative may unwittingly
cause. Since the naira is
not convertible, increasing
the denomination will not
check the perceived trend
towards dollarisation.”

CrimeGunmen Attack Corp Members In Jalingo by Arrowman(op): 11:08am On Sep 07, 2012
Gunmen yesterday attacked Christian corps members behind Federal Government Girls College (FGGC) Jalingo, Taraba State capital and made away their monthly allowance running into hundred of thousands of naira.

The bandits who stormed the Family House of the Redeemed Christian Corpers Fellowship (RCCF) held the corps members hostage for hours while stripping them of hundreds of thousands of naira and other valuables. The gunmen gained entrance into the Corps Members’ Lodge from a toilet in the female wing of the building and carted away three laptops, about 24 mobile phones and cash.

“We are about 20 corps members in the lodge when it happened last night. All our phones were taken away, some of us had two, three phones. Also, our monthly feeding allowance, which we contributed was also taken away by the evil men.” A corps member who does not want his name in print said:

“We were sleeping when some men came, they armed with dangerous weapons but we never resisted them. We obey their orders because, we were afraid, they asked us of our state of origin and religion, threatening to behead us if we misbehave. ”

RCCF President, Banji Omogbehin said the motive of the attack was unknown because, the bandits were asking us of our state of origin, threatening to rape our ladies and behead us. Officials of the NYSC, who visited the corps members said the issue would be dealt with, as the scheme would not tolerate such act on its corps members.

However, Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Amos Olaoye said the case was not robbery, but burglary and stealing: “I can confirm the attack, but its not robbery, we have not made any arrest yet, but the police are investigating.” The case has been reported to GRA police division

Nairaland GeneralFive Dead, 50 Others Missing In Taraba Flood by Arrowman(op): 8:22pm On Sep 05, 2012
Jalingo – No fewer
than five people were
confirmed dead and
more than 50 persons
declared missing
following torrential
rains and flooding in
Lau, Karim-Lamido and
Gassol Local
Government Areas of
Taraba.
In separate interviews
on Wednesday, the
chairmen of these
councils also said that
crops and livestock
worth millions of naira
had been washed
away by the flood.
The three persons
died in Lau and two in
Karim-Lamido councils
respectively.
Alhaji Tukura Bashir,
Chairman of Gassol
local government area,
noted that such
disaster had not been
witnessed in the area
in the past five
decades.
Bashir said that
villagers on the banks
of the River Benue, the
major cause of the
devastation, had seen
many copses floating
on the river.
Meanwhile, the
Chairmen of Lau, Mr
Anthony Danburam and
his Karim-Lamido
counterpart, Mr Idi Mali,
both confirmed that
several people were
also displaced.
In all the affected
councils, thousands of
people were displaced
and farmlands
submerged.
The development
raised fears of food
shortages due to the
loss of crops such as
rice, maize and beans,
among others to floods
across Taraba in the
past one month.
All the council chairmen
and farmers have
called for urgent
intervention by the
National Emergency
Management Agency
(NEMA), the state
government and well-
meaning individuals to
provide succour to the
people.
They said the call for
assistance had become
necessary because the
magnitude of the
devastation was
beyond the capacity of
the councils. (NAN)

Nairaland General(pictures)Top 10 Fascinating Funerals;its Unbelieveable. by Arrowman(op):
Some people decide to
pay their respects via
drive-thru. Others hang
coffins from cliffs. Despite
the variety of their
methods, the rituals are
based in the same idea:
communities want to
remember and honor their
dead.
Funeral rituals vary
tremendously. Whether in
the same country or on
opposite sides of the
world, people find unique
ways to send off their
family and friends who
have died. Here are 10
fascinating funerals found
around the world.
10
Drive-thru Funeral
In many ways, the United
States is a land of
convenience. Fast food
chains sit on many street
corners throughout the
country so that anyone
can drive through and
grab a bite to eat, no
matter their schedule.
Some places in the US
have taken this concept
and applied it to rituals
for the deceased. Parking
is no issue, as you can
view the body and sign
the guest book without
ever leaving your vehicle.
It is truly a fascinating
example of common North
American burial practices
mixed with America’s
culture of convenience.

Webcast Services
People are scattered
throughout the globe more
than ever, and many
people do not have
enough disposable income
on hand to drop money on
a pricey plane ticket with
little notice. That can
make attending funerals
difficult for family and
friends who are
thousands of miles away
from the service of a
loved one. Some are
electing to stream funeral
services as webcasts so
that location does not get
in the way of a person
being present for the
service, even if it is from
the other side of the
globe. Webcasting funeral
services serves as an
interesting mix of tradition
and technology.
8
Fireworks Burial
Some people are just
dying to go out with a
bang. Cremation fireworks
make that possible in a
new way. Some companies
offer services where they
packcremated remains
into firework shells and
then launch them into the
heavens, creating a
stunning fireworks display
over land or sea. The
results are a vibrant,
powerful testimony to
anyone who led an
exciting life and wished
for the same kind of
excitement during their
funeral.
7
Strangulation
A traditional funeral
ceremony on the South
Pacific Island of Fiji can
get really grim. When
someone dies, those
closest to the deceased
are then killed too, often
through strangulation. The
idea is to ensure that the
dead is surrounded by
family and friends even
after death. People would
seek to kill female widows,
in particular, believing that
the god Ruvuyalo would kill
the spirit of a man who
was not accompanied by
his wife. This murderous
ritual has since been
phased out in modern
times on the island.
6
Cliff-hanging
When many people think
about coffins, they
imagine a casket that
rests deep underground.
Some communities hold a
different view: they
believe that coffins need
to be close to the sky so
that their dead can be
closer to heaven. You can
see this practice in
minority groups from the
Philippines as well as
southern parts of China,
where the deceased are
placed in coffins and then
left suspended from the
sides of cliffs.
5
Cannibalism
In the Amazon rainforest,
parts of the indigenous
population go a step
further than honoring and
remembering their dead –
they eat them, too. Up
until the 1960s, for
example, a group called
the Wari’ would engage
in mortuary cannibalism.
They would eat their kin,
anthropologists reported,
as a way to emotionally
detach from memories of
those who pass. The
group considered the act
a respectful way to
dispose of bodies. It was
less cruel, to them, than
leaving it to rot in the
ground. Contact with
outsiders eventually put a
halt to the practice; the
Wari’ needed food and
medicine, which affluent
outsiders would often
withhold from participants
in mortuary cannibalism.
4
Sky Burial
The Tibetan funerary
ritual called sky burial is a
practice designed to
dispose of remains while
allowing a person’s flesh
to nourish living beings. In
a sky burial, a person
dissects a corpse and
leaves it in the open,
often on raised land like a
hill or mountain. Carrion
birds like vultures then
descend on the corpse
and consume its flesh.
Remaining bones are later
ground up and usually
given to animals like hawks
and crows.
3
Diamond Transformation
Humans are carbon-based
life forms. Due to that
trait, bodies can be used
to create a wide variety
of things. Now, companies
are using that fact to
shake up burial practices
– it is possible, for
example, to get a
person’s remains
transformed into a
diamond. A combination of
heat and high pressure
changes human ash into a
shimmering jewel. This
practice is not cheap.
Customers looking to
preserve a person’s
remains in the form of a
large diamond could be set
back around $25,000.
2
Tree Burial
Aboriginal groups in
Australia sometimes use
trees in their funerary
traditions. They take the
deceased’s body and
place it in a tree. There, it
is left to decompose.
Months or even years
later, members of the
group retrieve remaining
bones. These bones are
painted with red ochre
and placed in a decorated,
hollowed-out log during a
ceremony complete with
dancing. Those involved in
the ceremony transport
the log containing the
bones to the main camp
and, after more singing
and dancing, they leave it
to endure the elements.
That completes the burial
cycle.
1
Space Burial
People who want their
physical remains to leave
the planet can opt for a
space burial. Here, a
company collects a tiny
fraction of your cremated
remains, packs it into small
containermade to
withstand the demands of
space travel, and sends it
out into space. One
problem with this practice
is that, in many cases, the
remainseventually return
to earth. For a hefty price
tag,you have the option
of a more permanent
placement: your remains
can take a one-way trip
to the moon.
The world is full of
fascinating funeral rituals.
Whether inspired by the
trends of modern America
or ancestral traditions
dating back thousands of
years, funerals help reveal
howvaried communities
and their cultural
practices can be.

Romance7 Types Of Men Every Woman Should Date by Arrowman(op):
Obviously one can see
that this is a
suggestion from one
person based on
perceptions and
personal experiences.
Please find a way to
pick out the positive
impact this should
have on you and never
allow its full content
make you who you are.
It is a piece
everywherenigeria
decided to put up and
its very purpose is to
help us channel our
energies to the real
thing one should be
looking for in a man.
1. The Unmarried Man -
This may seem
obvious, but it is very
necessary to mention.
There are too many
women attempting
have relationships with
married men. Married
men are not a
candidate for single
women todate…
period! This includes
married men who are
separated (legally or
otherwise). They are
still married and not
available todate.
Married people have
their own families and
concerns to deal with.
That being said, the
unmarried man, who is
devoted to the things
of God, is the type of
man you should be
interested in dating. (1
Corinthians 7:32-35). 7
types of men every
woman should date
2. The Kingdom Seeker
-
A man who is seeking
God’s Will for His life
will, not only seek out
awoman to date, but
will seek out his wife.
The Bible says, “But
seek first the kingdom
of God and his
righteousness, and all
these things will be
added to
you” (Matthew 6:33).
Ladies, you should be
an asset; the thing
that is *added* to him
as he is FIRST seeking
the kingdom of God.
This is why I say, run
as fast as you can for
Jesus and the one
who can keep up
might be the one.
3. The Real Man -
No, I am not talking
about machismo
behavior (all the
shoulders back, chest
out, fist curling
gestures and such)…
Real men don’t need
all of that. That’s
what grown-boys do
to get awoman’s
attention. Real men
“pursue
righteousness, faith,
love, and peace” (2.
Timothy 2:22). Real men
regard women as a
gift that is not to be
taken advantage of;
they see her as
priceless and desire to
cling to her (Matthew
19:5). A real man’s
character shows his
high regard for a
woman long before the
dating stage.
4. The Learner -
A man who is in
continual pursuit of
knowledge is better
equipped to handle life
and execute on
goals / plans. He
should read, seek
counsel, study
continuously, etc…
The Bible says,
“Without counsel
plans fail, but with
many advisers they
succeed”( Proverbs
15:22). Also, “My
people are destroyed
because of lack of
knowledge” (Hosea
4:6). A man who is
willing to learn and gain
knowledge in life
should also be more
open to gaining
knowledge about love
and having successful
relationships.
5. The Multiplier -
A man shouldn’t just
balance you out, he
should constantly add
to you. His presence
should multiply your
potential. He should
add to the beauty of
who you are and
never take away from
anything that is
precious about you.
( “Relationship
Coaching: Do you
multiply or divide?”)
The Bible says, “Do
not be deceived:
‘Bad company ruins
good morals.’” (1
Corinthians 15:33). The
man youdate should
never cause you to
compromise good
morals. He should seek
ways to support you
in your values. His
values should
complement yours.
6. The Servant –
A man who has
demonstrated a
pattern of submitting
to authorities in his life
(leadership, pastors,
parents, etc…) will
also have an
understanding of how
to submit to God as
the head of his life
and, subsequently,
how to commit to his
future wife. The Bible
says, “Obey your
leaders and submit to
them… Let them do
this with joy and not
with
groaning,” (Hebrews
13:17). His positive
attitude towards
authority figures is an
indication of his
servant’s heart and
also provides a picture
of how he can be in a
dating relationship.
7. The Consistent Man
-
Emotions rise and fall,
but character shows
with consistency. The
consistent man is not
in a rush because he
does not have poor
intentions, nor is he
interested in
manipulating a woman
to be led by her
emotions (“ Warning:
Don’t Follow Your
Heart”). He will take
his time to get to
know you and will
allow you to get to
know him as well. The
Bible says, “Whoever
walks in integrity will
be delivered, but he
who is crooked in his
ways will suddenly
fall.” (Proverbs 28:18).
Over time, the
consistent man’s
good character will still
stand, while the man
with bad intentions will
also come to light.
Remember, the
purpose of dating is to
get to know a person.
If you take your time
to get to know him,
you will be able to find
out if he is the type
of man you should
date.

SportsObiji Lifts Gold No 5 For Nigeria by Arrowman(op): 9:32pm On Sep 04, 2012
By Ben Efe, London
Nigeria’s 82.50kg
power-lifter, Loveline
Obiji proved that wining
gold could be so lovely,
after she outclassed
her opponents to
increase Nigeria’s
medal tally here at the
London 2012
Paralympics.

Team Nigeria’s gold
spinning machine was
temporarily off the
mark after a bright
start. But Obiji put
behind all the pressure
associated with the
controversial loss by
compatriot, Folashade
Olufemiayo on Tuesday
and made a spectacle
at the London Excel
Centre. She heaved
145kg in her second
attempt and for her, it
was mission
accomplished.
“After establishing
that lead, I knew that
the gold was mine. I
told God that I wanted
gold and he gave it to
me. I wasn’t under
any pressure because
I knew who was
behind me.
“Now that the work
has been done I will
return home and
prepare for the 2016
Paralympics,” said the
Imo State-born athlete
who is making her
Paralympics debut.
Randa Mahmood of
Egypt took the silver
at 140kg, while
China’s Xu Yanmei
won bronze with 129kg.
The power-lifting
events continue today
with the men taking
their turn in the hunt
for medals. Nigerian
officials are hopeful
that Nigeria will
maintain its number one
position on the power-
lifting medals table. The
country has won five
gold, five silver and
one bronze.

Nairaland GeneralSimilar Story To That Of Cynthia's....a Must Read For All Ladies.. by Arrowman(op): 9:08pm On Sep 04, 2012
"""l I am a
graduate and currently
serving in Kaduna. I could
have runced it, but I
needed somewhere to
clear my head and forget
about my ugly encounter.
Here is my story.
I happened to have a
married man as a contact
on my BBM. He had been
asking me out for over six
months and I refused to
date him. As time went on,
he invited me clubbing with
him when his wife was
outside the country, and I
went with him all night. We
spent most of the night at
Swe bar, Lagos.
I also met his clique of
friends, married as well
with their various
mistresses. We had
‘mad’ fun. After all the
clubbing and drinking, he
lodged me in a hotel
somewhere in Obalende. I
felt sort of safe with him.
We did not have sex, but
he made sweet love to me
and touched me in places I
had never ever imagined.
He kissed me passionately
but guess what? He did
not have sex with me. We
did all sorts but there was
no penetration. So, to an
extent, I trusted he was a
good person to be around
with. I did not know that it
was all part of the plan.
He gave me N10,000 and
put me in a cab to go
home the next morning. We
kept talking and chatting
and sending naked pictures
to each other and he told
me naughty things of how
he wanted to whisper
things in my ear, I blushed.
We didn’t see for two
weeks and that was
because his wife just came
back from Turkey.
One faithful evening, he
pinged me that he was
organising a beach party/
boat cruise and that he
would love for me to be his
date and that he wanted
to open a BBM chat, as a
medium for his friends and
my friends to interact. I
was excited about it, I just
wanted to have fun. I was
able to get five of my very
hot friends.
The BBM group opened
and we got chatting. I also
realise that majority of
them were married and
working in reputable firms.
It was fun and we didn’t
mind if they were married,
we just wanted to have
fun, as well as some other
girls apart from my friends
in the group.
We chatted exclusively,
sent pictures to the BBM
group to introduce
ourselves, and we had
opened group
conversations pending the
beach party. And as
excited as we were, we
went shopping for nice
sexy beach wears.
The D-day finally came, we
all assembled at the Lagos
Island Boat Club. I was
wowed because it was a
high class party. We were
cruising in a boat loaded
with goodies drinks and
hot babes, and as well
‘MARRIED MEN’. I did
not care, I just said in my
mind that I would not roll
with married men anymore
after this, that for now, all
I wanted to do was to
catch some fun. After all, I
wasn’t paying bills.
We got there, it was a
private beach resort. Most
of the beach facilities I got
to see there were owned
by multinational companies.
We got out of the boat,
and went to where we
were partying. It was a
duplex made with wood. It
was a very nice setting.
I felt comfortable because
it even had a fence around
it separating it from other
beach houses around. So,
there was privacy and of
course bouncers (heavy
looking guys) guarding the
place. I said to myself, this
must be heaven, I must be
dreaming.
Anyways, we felt free
with each other because
we had been chatting. It
was 5:30pm and the party
just started. We had
drinks flowing from the
private bar tender which
happens to be owned by
one of the men in the
group. Reality struck when
I realised that I was feeling
dizzy and feeling really
funny and light headed. Not
only me, but other girls
around me too noticed
there was something
strange about it.
I was also feeling Hot
as hell! I had been drugged.
They monitored us and
when they knew the drug
had really gone deep into
our system, they moved us
up into the main beach
house. I could still see
faces, but was too weak
and Hot to react.
Mr B, the man who took
me clubbing, carried me in
his hands like a sacrifice
and put me down on the
floor just as other men
also did with their girls. We
were eight in numbers; 8
girls, 8 guys, and they all
stripped us down and had
sex with us.
I enjoyed it a bit because I
was Hot. It was a mixed
feeling because I cried, I
moaned, but I did not know
how many times he came
into me. He pounded me
hard. I was dizzy, but he
grabbed me with force. All I
could notice was the
wedding ring on his finger. I
thought of how wicked
and miserable some married
can be. How inhuman and
heartless they could be.
All of them took turns in
switching partners and
slept with all of us. I
passed out. That was the
last thing I could remember.
I felt water poured on me. I
noticed all the other girls
around me too were half
naked and some stark
naked.
We spent the night at the
beach, but the men were
no where to be found. I
looked round me and all I
could see was packs of
used condoms. I ran to pick
my cloths and possibly
raise an alarm. I got
dressed, found my phone
with an envelope. It
contained N16,000 and a
note asking us to take
N2000 each for transport.
Tears of anger and rage
filled my eyes and the girls
around me as well.
“We were drugged and
used like tissue paper. I
grabbed my phone and
noticed a ping came in. I
checked my phone and I
noticed the BBM group had
been deleted, and a
message via BBM from MR
B came in. He threatened
me that if I say a word to
anyone, I would regret it.
I told him he was a
bastard, and he said try it.
A picture came in, several
pictures. In fact, they
were pictures of us being
naked on the floor.
Pictures of the humiliating
us but they blurred the
faces of the men. In total, I
got 20 pictures. I was not
myself for a month.
I went back to school, I
had no one to talk to. The
rest of the semester was
hell for me. My CGPA
dropped drastically. It was
the worst out of the
worst result I ever had.
Till today, my friends and I
have not discussed this
with anyone, but all I could
do when I heard of
Cynthia’s story was to
narrate my own ordeal
anonymously and spread
the news, the word, and
pray they (ladies who do
runs) see it and changed
their ways,the story it
much,I pray the lord shield
wiill never depart from u

CrimeGunmen Kill LG Secretary, Varsity Don In Borno by Arrowman(op): 5:16pm On Sep 04, 2012
BARELY 28 hours
when six people were
shot dead by
suspected terrorists in
Sulimanti ward of
Maiduguri Metropolis, a
local government
secretary of Bama
Council area of Borno
state, and his friend, a
university lecturer
were on Monday night
shot dead by gunmen
suspected to be Boko
Haram in the same
area.
Our reporter who was
at the scene of the
attack in Maiduguri
near NNPC depot
before the bodies
were evacuated by
the police officials to
Biu Local Government
for burial as both hail
from Biu had sparks
off confusion as
nearby residents and
neighbours have all
vacated their houses
for fear of another
attack.
The Borno state police
commissioner who just
resumed newly,
Abdullalahi Yuguda,
confirmed to newsmen
that the Local
government secretary,
Muhammed Salisu, and
his friend, Barrister
Abubakar Muhammed
Salihu a Senior Law
lecturer from the
Federal University of
Ado-Ekiti, South-west
Nigeria, were shot
dead last night.
The bodies of the two
slain friends were seen
lying in the pool of
their blood with bullet
wounds in their heads.
A close family relation,
whose name can’t be
mentioned for his
security said ‘the
University lecturer was
in Maiduguri to enroll
his about 12 years old
son in one of the
colleges in Maiduguri.
He came in yesterday
and insisted on
sleeping in the house
of his best friend the
Local government
secretary. He was
supposed to deliver a
paper at the Nigeria
Law School today in
Abuja’.
The bodies of the two
have since been taken
to Biu town for burial
according to Islamic
rite.
As at the time of filing
this report the
members of the Boko
Haram, whom the
police suspected
hadn’t call to confirm
or deny their
involvement in the
killings.
