This group must have formed part of those that are sponsoring them. His on earth would a group solicit for amnesty for a group that had killed and still killing hundreds of thousands for unknown just course. How can you beg for those that never believed in the norm, "live and let others live". It is high time the new government come hard on these faceless organisations that are unknown to Nigerians. Majority of us are not authors of confusion

And our students died because of lack of fuel in the speed boat? 😢😥

It wasn't lack of fuel that caused the accident. It was caused by turbulence

Happy birthday my birthday mate. Thank God you ran for your life. Osinachi couldn't see tomorrow clearly before her husband beat her to death. You were missed in reggae world

The federal government and the security apparatus must nip this insecurity to the mud and all those causing mayhem must be brought to face justice. Haba! we are not animals for God's sake

Go after them and wipe them out with any governor that stands on your way

He must be punished for his useless skits. He had embarrassed many citizens by pouring water on them, removing wigs of innocent ladies and caused bodily harms to many. He deserve jail term

A Judge in the United States has sentenced Jacob Olalekan Ponle, or Mr Woodberry, to eight years and three months in prison for his coordination of a multimillion-dollar fraud.

Mr Ponle was sentenced on July 11 by Judge Robert Gettleman of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in Chicago, according to court filings obtained by Peoples Gazette.

“The defendant is hereby committed to the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons to be imprisoned for a total term of 100 months as to count,” Mr Gettleman said.

Mr Ponle was sentenced after being convicted on one count of fraud. Seven other counts were dismissed following a plea bargain in April that was previously reported by The Gazette.

Mr Gettleman ordered Mr Ponle to submit himself to the U.S. Marshal Service for onward transfer to the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut, where his family members, especially his American fiancée, would be allowed to visit him.

Mr Ponle will also be “surrendered to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody for deportation immediately following his incarceration”, the judge said.

The Nigerian-born fraudster will pay seven victims about $8 million in restitution, with the court finding that he has the capacity to make the full payment but waived all interests on the restitution value.

American prosecutors had on June 29 asked the judge to sentence Mr Woodberry to 14 years in prison for the fraud he committed between January and September 2019.

The prosecutors also sought court permission to sell the fraudster’s 152 bitcoins, but only after a 30 days’ notice had been issued to the public for anyone with interest in the assets to file claims. No one with legitimate interest appeared to have surfaced as of the time of Mr Woodberry’s sentencing.

The prosecutors also recommended that Mr Woodberry, known for flaunting his flamboyant lifestyle on social media, forfeit items in the Dubai police custody, such as one Rolls Royce, Lamborghini Urus, Mercedes-Benz G-Class AMG G55, four Rolex watches, one Patek Philippe watch, and three Audemars Piguet watches.

Also, he is to forfeit three gold and diamond-studded rings, five gold bracelets and two gold bracelet keys, six gold neck chains, one gold and diamond-studded necklace, one small gold nugget, two bank cards, about $1,835 in Emirati dirhams, and approximately $15.45 in South African rands.

Mr Woodberry was arrested on June 10, 2020, alongside Ramon ‘Hushpuppi’ Abbas, who was jailed late last year for 11 years in the U.S. for internet fraud.

Congratulations my baby girl. I love the recent news coming from all over the world on the bravery and successes that Nigerians are recording on their academic pursuits. I hope Nigerian government will be the nation conducive for the young generation to thrive because the future belongs to them

There's nothing to wail about here. What I did to my former boss in owerri several years back was that. This man was owing me 3 months salary and we were into property development. Customers were subscribing and paying. There was steady income but the man deliberately withheld our salaries. Out of 5 of us only 2 of us were bold enough to take the action i proposed. Luckily for us the day we struck. Customers paid for forms and subscribed as usual. When our e months salary was completed, we submitted the list of customers to our boss, showing the total amount and we removed our 3 months salary and gave him the balance. He shouted at the top of his voice and made threats as expected, we didn't bulge, I told him to go to Obinze to bring battalions of soldiers that I will not give him back my salary. We waited till close of work and left. We never came back, 3 days later I got another work that paid 3 times my former salary. My former colleagues saw us several days after and were still lamenting that they didn't take the same action we took. They laboured as slaves but was too late as none got his/her full salaries before leaving the company. When we do not take bold steps a times leave us at the mercy of some wicked people. God Almighty will direct your steps to a better place

It would be great if snow falls in Nigeria

Abeg ooo. A lot of people will not survive it most especially the vulnerable in our country

This has been the norms from time immemorial. All Lagos state owned media present news in the aforementioned languages. Don't come on line to spew trash please

I didn't see a retired professor but a religious bigot. An irredentist. A demented and wicked soul that carried religion of division to the highest level. He caused more hate than all other bigots like him. Not a man to be celebrated at all

Old age has really set in. What a lousy way to talk! These set of people have been so gullible in their analysis of the past presidential election. Are they really thinking that the results from the 5 eastern states is enough to get them the presidency? We are all watching ok? Try unleashing your useless 'revolution' anywhere in this region that has accommodated you unmolested and see whether you will not regret regret the day you were born. See old man talking through his anus. Instead for him to dissipate his energy on how to liberate his anambra state from simon ekpa he's here ranting nonsense

Lagos state house of assembly did same 5 years ago. The true way to go. It will encourage and promote indigenous languages in each state if they can all adopt that

Treasure17:
The earlier he do away with this cap the better for him and try and look like a president for once. The rightful owner of that position is coming anyway.

That cap is his identity. Even meta saw the wisdom in that cap before replicating it in their logo. Continue to live in fools paradise like Mmeosota, the glory stealer. All of you are frustrated homo sapiens

Your destiny is in your hands. If the state government cannot arm their youths to defend their land, then the state governor is not qualified to occupy the position. Ortom neglected the youths to defend themselves, this one also is no better. Use the resources of the state to defend your state and let's see the president that will go against that. What you see is cries upon cries everyday which does no one any good

It is for boats, go to calabar, you will see it also in marina beach

The congregation is listening to the word of men NOT of God. God feeds His children with His word through the Holy Spirit not implanted word from man through a robot. The end is indeed near

Birds of the same feathers. You claimed you were cheated 27 years ago in one of your previous rantings condemning a whole institution that was far ahead of you in the game. Why apologising now when there was no more hiding place for you and your daughter? We sane Nigerians will plead on her behalf after she apologise for her misdeed. Nigeria is bigger than you charlatans

If the report had not come out from Anambra state government, so these people will still be exposing their ignorance by defending her!! They were all condemning JAMB when they spoke on her issue saying she's being cheated. Too bad to be sentimental

The victim mentality needs to be flushed out of these people before they can make headway politically. Everything is not about knowing how to make money but to stand by the truth always. Shame had finally reset their brain

Mr President must ensure that ECOWAS begin to do things the right way in ensuring total elimination of banditry, smuggling and transborder prostitution that is destroying their Commonwealth. They must come together to build democratic institutions in their domains

Welcome to Lagos, the dreamland of every NdiIgbo

Shame on her, shame on the parents that raised her, shame on all the nepotistic individuals that supported her and condemned JAMB for saying the fact. Shame on those that believed she was being victimised because she's Igbo. Shame on you all for supporting illegality. Let her go for the 3 years ban for stealing the mandate of another Anambra girl

I had a scary experience in 2010. Was going home after a night vigil on Bode Thomas Street to connect Western Avenue when 7 boys in sienna double crossed my Toyota Camry car and dragged me out of the vehicle before hitting me with the butt of their gun in the nose. They drove the car through 3rd mainland before the car demobilized. Thanks to Lagos RRS that recovered it immediately, learnt that the robbers ran away with their own Siena vehicle. It was a bad experience that I never wished anybody in life

Give it to my baby girl Asisat Oshoala. To encourage others from the African continent

What a people!!!! A different country won't be bad for them though

I support the prosecution of this girl. She lied about her age, she lied about her result and she made further effort to build on the crumbled lies. She forgot to tell her fellow fraudsters from the east that the age she filled I'm her JAMB form was 19 years while the age that appeared on her fake result was 16 years. By the time she face DSS probe, her brain will reset to tell the whole world the truth. She must not escape this lies that she told to tarnish the image of JAMB we all wrote to cross the crucible to success today. The attention we supposed to give the real winner of the highest scorer is being dissipated on her fraud

This region will soon be deserted with the uncontrollable behaviors of these riff-raffs called IPOB. They are systematically destroying their economy thinking that they are doing others. Their lives, their future, their country, their portion

These children of hate will wail tire oo. What species kind of homo sapiens re these for God's sake. We will continue to laugh at you people for your low level of intelligence. In your eyes, the Ijaws had displayed you from your 3rd position to 4th. An ijaw man will be president of this nation again before you people can taste the position. Nothing can make me vote again for a tribe that hates my tribe so much. The mistake of 25th February 2023 can never be repeated again
