If there is anytin i hate about dis site, then it's d tribalistic nature of always wanting to paint yoruba white and call igbo names. It's 'Igbo' not 'Igbo' Seun u own d site but we are all here to promote it so share 'equal' right of administrator amongst various tribes by so doing some of this document will not make headlines here as d admins will not like to bring d tribe of their partners down. IT's clear that d version of burial given to Ojukwu is painning some folks.

Who is your best Nigeria president ever? Be sincere without any sentiment. Thank you.

They are our compatriots. But they operate in other shores. Their activities are an embarrassment to all of us. They indulge in crimes for which all of us should flinch. Indeed, the United States Secret Service and narcotics agents have dubbed the
18 as some of the most wanted on their list. A manhunt is on to arrest 15 of them. Already, three others have been arrested by Interpol officers in Lagos.
•Adebowale Shekoni (40)
•Abiodun Bakare (37)
•Rilwan Ayatonde Soetan (50)
•Kenneth Eromosele Abulu (36)
•Olselcita Folayan (41)
•Musiliu Balogun (40)
•Mutiat Titilola Olubi (51)
•Ahiata Folashade Price (46)
•Monsuratu Omoniyi Griggs(43)
•Ayodele Soyan (51)
•Ahuama Benjamin Okey (50)
•Basiratu Mojisola Bakare-Giles (47)
•Adegboyega Olukunle Odedina (36)
•Alex Ahmed Ero (51)
•Seye Richard Osinoiki(46)

ARRESTED

•Steve Adedeji
•Apampa Olayinka
•Olugbemiga Adebisi (a.k.a.) George Banks


They are wanted for multi-million dollar bank frauds, identity theft, drug pushing and, in the case of one of them, the rape of an expectant mother.

The Commissioner of Police in charge of Interpol, Mrs Atinuke Koyi confirmed the arrests of three of the suspects.

The United States Secret Service, US Drug Enforcement Administration(DEA), United States Marshals Service, the US. Postal Inspection Service and the office of the New York State Governor, David Paterson named some of those wanted as Adebowale Shekoni (40), Abiodun Bakare (37), Rilwan Ayatonde Soetan (50), Kenneth Eromosele Abulu (36), Olselcita Folayan (41), Musiliu Balogun (40) and Mutiat Titilola Olubi (51).The others are: Ahiata Folashade Price (46), Monsuratu Omoniyi Griggs (43), Ayodele Soyan (51), Ahuama Benjamin Okey (50), Basiratu Mojisola Bakare-Giles (47), Adegboyega Olukunle Odedina (36), Alex Ahmed Ero (51) and 46-year-old Seye Richard Osinoiki, who is wanted for the rape of the expectant mother.

Those already arrested are: Steve Adedeji, Apampa Olayinka and Olugbemiga Adebisi (a.k.a.) George Banks).

Reports say that the US Federal Bureau of Intelligence(FBI) has also embarked on a joint operation with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Special Fraud Unit (SFU) in Nigeria, to arrest others who may be hiding in the country.

In the US, the dragnet, according to Assistant Director of Criminal Investigations at the FBI, Chip Burrus, involves 56 field offices. He said: “We hope that publicity would help find and bring the fugitives to justice.”

Nigerian Compass learnt that Shekoni, who was residing in Atlanta, Georgia, was indicted for 13 bank frauds, conspiracy, passing counterfeit cheques, interstate travel in aid of racketeering and money laundering conspiracy. His case summary says he entered the United States illegally and had been involved with a counterfeit cheque cashing ring.

Those involved in cheque kitting frauds against multiple banks, which had caused the United States millions of dollars in losses to banks and merchants, usually open business accounts, mostly under gas station identities. They use the bank cheques to float between bank accounts and systematically withdraw money from these accounts prior to the banks awareness that the worthless cheques are either drawn from accounts with insufficient funds or closed accounts.

They also use worthless cheques drawn on the accounts to buy items from wholesale distributors.

The case against Soetan is listed thus: “Aggravated identity theft and fraud.”

The Secret Service, Miami office says: “Rilwan Soetan is a Nigerian national identified as part of an organised group responsible for the compromise of more than 2000 personal credit card reports. Subsequent aggravated identity theft/fraud perpetrated by Soetan and his group have resulted in significant financial losses.”

Bakare, who is wanted for financial crimes, is also accused of using a vehicle to knock down a Federal Officer while escaping arrest.

The case summary states: “This individual is wanted for charges related to financial crimes and assault on a federal officer. Bakare ran an elaborate financial scheme in which he used stolen personal information to open fraudulent credit card accounts.”

Folayan, a DEA- listed fugitive, is accused of Federal drug violations, including alleged conspiracy to distribute heroin in the Northern district of Illinois. His poster warns people not to attempt apprehending him. Rather, people who see him should alert the US Marshals Service.

A warning from the Secret Service on the fugitives says: “Do not attempt to apprehend any of these individuals. Contact the Secret Service or local police; or, if overseas, the nearest US Embassy or Consulate if you have information regarding these individuals.”

Federal Agents in the United States say that Musiliu Balogun, who has been on the run for about five years, was behind a drug distribution network, moving as much as 80 per cent of the white heroin coming into the United States from Southeast Asia.

When the ring was smashed, 24 suspects were arrested and over 72 kilogrammes of heroin seized. Balogun and his girlfriend Mutiat Titilola Olubi were identified as leaders of the drug cartel. They were once sighted in Togo and Thailand.

Born on September 5, 1963, in Ibadan, Oyo State, Balogun is believed to be one-metre seventy-six centimeters tall. He weighs 75 kilogrammes, has black hair and brown eyes.

Besides Mutiat Olubi, details of crimes committed by other Nigerian women who appeared on the Most Wanted list were also given.

One Ahiata Folashade Price is wanted for conspiracy to distribute heroin. Monsurat Omoniyi Griggs and Basiratu Bakare-Giles were accused of the same offence in different regions of the United States.

Detectives at the Detroit Division are still searching for Ahuama Benjamin Okey, identified as Fugitive NCIC-W163933955. He is wanted for alleged Federal Drug Violations and conspiracy to distribute heroin at the Eastern district of Michigan.

In the Maryland district, Odedina is wanted for bank fraud. US Postal Inspection Service in Colorado district is looking for Ahmed Ero over mail fraud.

Information at the Atlanta office of the Secret Service Agents shows that a 36-year-old Kenneth Eromosele Abulu is wanted for passing counterfeit currency and using false identification.

The US Secret Service investigative mission is to safeguard the payment and financial systems of the United States. It has been collaborating with Nigerian agencies striving to give the nation a good image.

“When they send specific request to us, we assist in tracking the criminals. But if they're looking for somebody and a formal request is not made, there is nothing we can do,” said Mrs Koyi, the Interpol boss.

She said following specific requests, her men arrested one 50-year-old Olugbemiga Adebisi aka George Banks. According to her, Banks was arrested at the Murtala The Great Prophet International Airport, Lagos on arrival from China where he had served a one- year jail term for bank fraud.

Detectives even wondered why the fugitive calls himself George Banks, the name of a Pennsylvania mass murderer, who shot 13 people in 1982 in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, five of them his own children.

In the US, the Nigerian George Banks was declared wanted for Access Device Fraud, Aggravated Identity theft, mail theft, social security number violations and other frauds. He allegedly escaped from New Hampshire to China and committed the same offences.

The Chinese authorities, however, got him.“Each time Adebisi commits the crimes, their monitor catches him. Yet, he kept on running from one country to another,” a source told Nigerian Compass.

In China, Adebisi seemed to have found wisdom in the saying “When you're in Rome, do like the Romans.” He bleached his skin and altered his features to look like the Chinese.

The two other persons in Interpol's net are Steve Adedeji and Apampa Olayinka. They were caught when they approached the US Embassy to renew their visas, thinking that the search for them was over.

Interestingly, the Interpol allowed them home on bail after the US Secret Service failed to respond to letters sent by the security outfit. Adedeji and Olayinka now report at the Interpol office at Alagbon every Monday.

The Commissioner of Police (CP), Special Fraud Unit (SFU), Mr Olayinka Balogun told Nigerian Compass that the SFU had been collaborating with international agencies to check the activities of fraudsters.

His words: “Generally, they send scam letters to us and ask us to help track some of these criminals. There are some cases that we are working on right now.”

On his part, EFCC's spokesman, Osita Nwaja admitted the anti-graft agency's collaboration with the American agencies, saying, “We have good working relationship with the major agencies around the world. FBI is one of the backbones of the EFCC, it has trained some of our people. We've worked extremely closely with them. We've had some joint operations in Lagos area and intercepted outbound mails sent by fraudsters with fake cheques and all sorts of documents. We're also working with the German police and the South African Scorpion. They have so much trust in the EFCC because of our achievements in the war against fraudsters over the years

Any girl who keeps nagging her boyfriend, ie. being too desperate over getting married will never make a good wife,

HOW TRUE IS THIS STATEMENT ? ? ?

She's always hang up the phone on me at every slight provocation. For a relationship that has marriage in view(I haven't proposed anyway) please, what does the future hold?

So much love with little respect for me(I respect and love her), will it work out?

Thanks in anticipation for your prudent advice.

my anty said,  U don't know your luck until u are married, for once rumours are true.

If same tin is also happening to the sister, then it's a family stuff which can only be treated spiritual. But if u seek for spiritual help from a wrong source then u are dead even while still alive.

Silver or gold have i none but wot i have will i give you, man run to the only true God, forget any form of shortcut.

The deal has been done already so proceed with seeking for solution, divorce might not solve your problem. But am not married sha, so married pipo might advise better.

Lastly romance section isn't the best place for this issue, take it to family section.

I wish u d best.

NOTE: HAVE U SEEN WOT EXCESSIVE BANGING CAN DO? U don bang urself into troublem.

Nigerian artistes are not smiling this year at all! With Jim Iyke buying $200,000 worth of cars and D'banj's $230,000 Aston martins vintage.

South-south singer, Duncan Mighty has joined the league of men with these exotic rides, he has just splashed cash on acquiring a rolls royce phantom, that starts at $325,000 without any customizations! Now this is how we stunt, I am very sure there are not so many artists even in USA that can buy that with cash!

@POSTER
SEEK ADVICE FROM "ENLIGHTENED" MARRIED LADIES, NOT FROM SOME OLD CARGOES, as they will tell you that marriage begins @ 40 (you will know them by their posts), USE UR HEAD.

If after realizing this flaw u still went ahead to fall victim of this impending danger, I GO NAK UR OKPAKO

Life begins @ 40, dts with you spouse & ur children, not still with ur parents.

Reading through all the comments there are few of them that have so far outlined the necessary steps to be taken to achieve ur desire, pls follow them and trash the rest including this one.

GoodLuck Ebele Johnathan.



SOME OF THE GOOD ONES.

claremont:
As far as ladies are concerned, age is a ticking time bomb which just can't be ignored. Everyone knows that the fertility of a lady starts to depreciate when she reaches 30; therefore, 25 to 30 years is a critical window of opportunity for any lady. Good luck to those ladies who are waiting for Jesus to marry them!

atasteve:
The problem isI like my space and don't like people too clingy. I like to do things by myself. I really don't need a guy around except for se.x, as i don't self service.

Two issues that you need to deal with:

1. When you are in a relationship YOUR SPACE must be invaded at one point or the other so be ready for more rude surprises. By the time you start having babies then all your SPACE will be fully invaded if not totally destroyed!

2. Se.x was designed by God for ONLY MARRIED people any other usage brings distrust and eventually heartaches.

I wish you God's speed.

kpolli:
It is sad to know that we have a lot of single old women on NL. . . . see wetin una dey advice the girl make she do, do u want her to get serious at 30 n by then start acting desperate? Pls dont spoil her future for her

Poster, am not telling u to get ready for marriage now, am saying discover urself, be wiv a guy that mite not marry u, but wud help u get ready for marriage. . . . at 25 n u dont know how to be a gf, its sad to me. . . . we have 18yr olds getting married, it wud be nice marrying at not such an old age

I FEAR THIS ONE?

Nayah:
Chocolate exactly I agree when you say people cede to society pressure, since when 25 is old? then you might risk to jump in any guy and be unhappy??
Amya really, try to considerate what I said previously, yes admitting his mistakes it's good thing but do not completely change and become fake because of someone, the one who will love you will accept you even if you're not perfect, this imperfection that makes you who you are

You better don't mind those commentators saying tha @ 25 you are still a child, They are already old without husband, and they don't have to push you into making the same mistake.

For goodness sake; its advisable to be in a relationship for 2,3 or even more years before marriage (these will gurantee some degree of understanding) so 25 is a perfect age to go into such relation.

GETTING MARRIED AT THE AGE OF 50 WILL NOT GUARRANTEE A STEADY HOME.

My candid advice, to each his own.

Thank you & Goodluck Ebele Jonathan

Another great release from Koko master,

afrobaby:
He left or he told you and u both saw reason while you should go your seperate ways, u are both AS, the fear of having SS carrier as a child is devastating, so he decided to safe you both from a future problem, nothing wrong with that, and if he is inviting u to his wedding, why not, he left for a good reason ,if it's me , I will attend except if I have some other pressing things to attend to,
Except if you are feeling betrayed o, and who knows, you may meet someone at the wedding
11 years courtship, isn't that long enough to have discovered your genotypes

rite on spot.

claremont:
@OP: As a matter of personal principle, I hate using towels already used by my mate. Hope you got my point?!

Got it, but their relationship didn't get to the point of "used" it was more of a platonic stuff.

I hope you get my too.

Boyloaf:
wat gav u d impression dat she is up to sumtin? Frm your write up,u seem to be d 1 wit a dirty mind here! Abeg i dey pop sumtin for flyin eagles jor. @poster we go see later

How am i suppose to know, when her seemly but neutral text messages are all over my phone in-box.

Mynd_44:
Guy sorry I am still celebrating Nigeria's victory over England

If i can get a quick response them i might as well be celebrating with you.

As man does not chase rat when his house is on fire!

This very good friend of mine was into a romantic relationship at the exact time when i was still seeing my ex, then my relationship came crumbling so do his.

All efforts that was invested but me to resuscitate their friendship proved abortive, now she either at my place for just a visit or for me to help out in writing her assignments.

My friend stays at another state while i reside in the same state with this ex of his.

Fellow NLders, what can you say about this scenario??

Please your comments will go along way.

Thank you.
