Ghanaian Actress, Nadia Buari has appealed to young ladies to stop dating ‘Sugar daddies’ who end up destroying their future just to satisfy their sexual urge. The actress, who is a mother of twin girls, gave this advice via her Facebook page @Nadia buari According to the actress, these sugar daddies will just bless you with gifts, diseases and curses. She wrote, “Forget about these old men called sponsors, and build a future with that brilliant determined young man who is after you. “He might be poor today but he won’t be poor forever “Build wealth with your own man. “Don’t die over material things, sponsors will bless you with gifts, diseases and curses. “Better things are yet to come. “Some died of AIDS just because of Iphone 4; little did they know that we will have Iphone7.” On her thought on the recent lewd acts ladies engage in just for material things, the actress added: “Sponsors will waste your youthful years and you will miss the chance of getting married to a man that will make you a Mrs. “It’s very true there will be more to life, to the wise ladies, think about this piece.”

A federal high court in Lagos has declared void powers of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) to impose fines on motorists for traffic offences.
John Tsoho, a judge, held that the commission could not turn itself into a court of law by punishing those who commit traffic offences.
Tope Alabi, a lawyer, had approached the court to declare that only a court of competent jurisdiction could pronounce a person guilty under section 10 (4) and 28 (2) of the FRSC Act 2007.
Other defendant in the suit was the attorney-general of the federation.
The judge also awarded N1million damages in favour of the plaintiff because officials of the FRSC had confiscated his vehicle and driver’s licence.
Tosho said while FRSC was statutorily empowered to arrest and fine traffic offenders, a closer look at the definition of the word “fine” meant a pecuniary criminal punishment or civil penalty payable to the public treasury. “In the instant case, however, the involvement of the element of arrest takes the imposition of fine by the FRSC to the realm of criminal punishment,” he said. “From these definitions, it is obvious that the act of sentencing is a judicial action or exercise, and imposition of fine connotes conviction for an alleged offence.
“It is, thus, very clear that the FRSC, not being a court of law, cannot impose fine, especially as it has no powers to conduct trial.
“Hence, the exercise of the statutory powers given to the defendant under the Act as pertain to imposition of fine is clearly a usurpation of judicial powers exclusively vested in the courts.
“In the circumstances, I endorse the plaintiff’s submission that by virtue of section 1(3) of the constitution, the power to impose fine conferred on FRSC by the enabling act is null and void to the extent of its inconsistency with the constitution.”
Tsoho held that the FRSC resorted to “legislative absurdity” when it imposed a fine of 3,000 on the plaintiff, rather than the N2,000 statutorily prescribed. “FRSC’s function should not go beyond issuance of mere notices of offence,” he ruled.
“It is a cardinal principle of natural justice that no person can be condemned without being heard. “It is in observance of this that a person alleged to have committed an offence has to respond to such allegation before a court of law during trial.”
According to the judge, the plaintiff was issued a notice of offence Sheet on April 4, 2013, but FRSC did not take him to court for five months before the plaintiff filed his suit on September 9, 2013.
“The vital question to ask is how long would it take the FRSC to reasonably commence prosecution of a traffic offence?” he asked.
“The plaintiff was not under obligation to wait indefinitely for redress due to FRSC’s inaction or laxity. “I hold the view that the confiscation of the vehicle was unnecessary in the first place, though the FRSC spiritedly sought to justify it.”
The judge then granted 11 of the 14 reliefs sought by the plaintiff, awarding N1million in his favour instead of the N10 million prayed for.

Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari has tendered an
apology for plagiarizing parts of President Barack
Obama’s 2008 victory speech.
President Buhari’s speech at the kick-off of the ‘Change
begins with me’ campaign contained several paragraphs
from Obama’s 2008 victory speech.
The Presidency has owned up to plagiarism and has now
offered an apology.

The similarities btw a Paragraph in the 2008
Obama Speech & Paragraph 9 of the #CBWM
Speech are too close to be passed off as
coincidence.

Nigerian-American rapper, Olubowale Victor Akintimehin A.K.A Wale shared this photo on his IG with touching words. Read below… “I had too much faith in humanity . I had too much faith in an industry that could never love somebody who had/has faith in said humanity. Thinking with my heart. Misunderstood is an understatement . Day in an day out I’m trying to convince somebody to see things my way, it often turns gets lost in translation and just sounds like complaining or “whining”. I been Tryna win a debate that’s not even winnable . I’ve been playin ping pong with my feet against a wall. It’s my faith in humanity my thought that “if u argue with them long enough they’ll realize they —” they won’t they didn’t they don’t. Sympathy . No. Understanding. Extra no. I know I know I got it wrong. I know I complain blah blah blah. Most people have no clue how hard I work or what I’m goin thru and I have to come to grips wit the fact THEY DONT CARE . They gonna troll u They gonna misunderstand u they gonna ignore your best efforts out of convenience laziness or for laughter. I wear my heart right on my sleeve in real life and I’m super open wit my feelings .. I got to do better . I got to make changes . I trusted too many people and let too many get close. I allowed myself to become susceptible to Wahala. I’m the epitome of “a work in progress ” better or worse.I love my supporters and fans .. I got to figure out many things to improve my trajectory .. I gotta work on being more positive .. As hard as it is I have to TRY HARDER to embrace the good in my life .. Waking up to people wanting me to die on a daily basis isn’t the most pleasant but I got to work on ignoring it.. Maybe I lost all my faith in humanity . Maybe I got to work on being happier .. I’m gonna fix what gotta be fix one way or another..I have to DO BETTER. SHiNE is what I have to train myself to do .. And God willing I will. If not for me.. For Her..

All in the name of civilization...or better still, the craze of wanting to copy Oyibo people and their way of life. Sadly, it's only few wayward Oyibo celebrities that do nasty stuffs like this. But some of our ladies, once they see something on social media, the next thing is to copy. Sigh!

Reports of kidnapping have become common in Nigeria. Though not a new trend, kidnappers have continued to devise new methods to lure victims. Below are some of the new tricks to watch out for: 1.Ploy at parties In this method, a note is dubiously passed to the master of ceremonies requesting the owner of an identified vehicle to come out and move his or her vehicle to allow others parking access. Immediately the individual gets to his car, the kidnappers grab the person and zoom off in the car. This was what happened to Mr. Remi Olakunri who was kidnapped at a party venue in Lagos some months ago. Olakunri, who drove an SUV to the venue, heard his car’s number plate called out by the emcee, requesting him to step outside to move his vehicle. As Olakunri got to his car, three men grabbed him and forced him to drive off in his vehicle. Over N1m ransom was paid before his abductors released him. 2.Road blocks The modus operandi of kidnappers includes mounting road blocks on highways in military uniforms and staging a surprise attack on unsuspecting motorists. An All Progressives Congress governorship aspirant in Ondo State, Victor Olabimtan, was abducted by gunmen after he declared his interest to contest the state’s governorship election. Olabimtan was on his way to Abuja when some persons in military attire, who dubiously manned a road block on the expressway kidnapped him. 3.Disguising as church members There have been several reports of how kidnappers found their way into churches, disguised as church members and waited for the service to end before carrying out their criminal act. A pastor in the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Isawo B.ranch, Ikorodu, Lagos, was recently abducted by gunmen who disguised as members of the church and whisked him away after the service. 4.Isolated ATMs According to a security expert, Mr. Pedro Ayandokun, kidnappers now target isolated automated teller machines with long queues of customers. “These kidnappers look out for the last person in a queue because such individual will be an easy target for them. Nigerians should avoid using isolated ATMs even during the day. Bank customers should always use ATMs within the confines of a bank,” he said. 5.Fake job interviews Text massages for job interviews are randomly sent to the mobile phones of persons who did not apply for the job. Their agenda is to get desperate job seekers to an arranged venue and hold them before contacting their relatives to pay ransom. A victim, Mr. Segun Abiodun, who travelled to Port Harcourt, Rivers State, for a job interview was abducted by those who purportedly had a job offer for him. His abductors initially demanded N5m before it was reduced to N2m. 6.Use neighbours as bait Security agencies have constantly warned Nigerians against opening their doors for neighbours at odd hours. It had been observed that kidnappers, rather than heading for the house of their potential victim directly, use the person’s neighbour to knock on the door or gate of their potential victim. Their belief is that their target would open the door for the neighbour. 7.Luring children with gifts Two months ago, Bayo Adeyemi, a male pupil of a school in Okokomaiko area of Lagos State, was kidnapped on his way home after closing hours. Bayo and his brother were on their way home when the kidnappers, who were in a bus, accosted them on the road and gave the elder brother N100 to buy candy and biscuits. The victim offered to run the errand with his younger brother but they ordered him to leave his brother behind. While returning from the errand, he discovered that the bus was leaving. Being a child, rather than raise the alarm, he ran home to alert his mother and before they arrived at the scene, the kidnappers had disappeared with his brother. Commenting on the development, a security consultant, Mr. Simon Udie, said every Nigerian should be extremely vigilant. “Nigerians should observe every strange happening around them. The criminal mind is just as good as an intelligent mind, they try to use new tactics to lure their victims,” he said. 8.Switching off generators When kidnappers identify a house that is easily penetrable, especially at night, they locate where the electricity switch box is and disconnect the power source. They wait for any of the occuP@nts to come out to check what might have happened. In the process, he or she is kidnapped. They may also switch off generator to lure their target. Mr. Tunji Ajayi who resides in Agbado/Oke-Odo Local Council Development Area of Lagos State could have fallen victim but for his suspicion. He said his generator was switched off after some persons gained entry to his compound. He told our correspondent that when they noticed that he didn’t come out after they had waited for hours; they walked out of his compound. 9.Pretending as relatives The ninety-year-old father of Mr. Oluwole Adalumo, who owns a hotel in Ikole, Ekiti State, Ajagunna Adalumo fell victim to this technique. He was kidnapped from his house at Oke-Ijebu, Ikole Ekiti. Bimbo Ajayi, who is a relative of the victim, said the kidnappers came into the premises of the aged man around 8pm. Ajayi said a man entered the house of Pa Adalumo under the pretence that the victim’s son sent him to the old man. He later drove him away in a car he brought. 10.Offering Lifts As much as many would want to offer help to persons in need, giving strangers a lift could be a wrong move. There was a report last year of one Mrs. Abike Lawal who visited a popular shopping mall in Lagos. As she was about to leave, she noticed that one of her tyres had been slashed. In her disturbed state, a friendly, well-dressed and articulate young man showed up like a knight in shining armour to help her. After assisting her, he asked for a ride to where he said he parked his car. Without waiting for her response, he entered the car but the woman suspected foul play and excused herself to buy something. She went to a security guard and told him what happened. The security guard went with her to the car but the young man had left. In 2013, a report by Sheriff Deputies Limited, a private Security Company in Nigeria, stated that the South-West had the highest incidence of kidnapping with five per cent, followed by the South-East and South-South with four per cent each. It noted that North-West and North-East each had an incidence of three per cent, with the lowest being North-Central at two per cent. The Lagos State Police Command said between January and June this year, there were 19 cases of kidnappings. The spokesperson for the command, Dolapo Badmos, told SUNDAY PUNCH that 15 suspected kidnappers had been charged to court. Badmos also said culprits involved in robbery and pipeline vandalism had turned to kidnapping. She added that some of the communities vulnerable to kidnapping are those close to waterways, because kidnappers could quickly escape with their victims without encountering an immediate chase by residents or security officials. A security consultant, Mr. Bunmi Odukoya, said kidnapping of Nigerians had increased. Odukoya said, “Criminals know that police are rarely contacted after a kidnap and that families are quick to pay ransom for the release of their relatives. Kidnappers can be particularly brutal and can physically assault their victims and those delivering ransoms.” 11.Insufficient security agents The current number of police officers is said to be about 370,000 to about 170 million Nigerians.This fell short of the United Nations recommendation of 222 police officers per 100,000 persons. President Muhammadu Buhari had approved the recruitment of 10,000 policemen into the nation’s Police Force to reinforce the police for better service. Another security expert and Chairman Mentorship Committee, American Society for Industrial Security, Abuja Chapter, Prof. Femi Adegbulu, said it appeared that the law enforcement agents had lost the battle to kidnappers. “Most cases of kidnap are between you and your God. It depends on your negotiating power for your loved one to be freed, if kidnapped. We hear reports saying no ransom was paid, but those criminals are not foolish. These criminals risk their lives to kidnap an individual, and they know that if caught, they would be jailed or face death penalty. Why then would they kidnap someone and not get money?’’ he stated. Badmos said parents have a m0ral and physical duty to protect their children. She added, ‘‘People living close to waterways should be sensitive and extremely security conscious. We have foiled about two kidnap attempts in partnership with the communities involved.”
