A video which shows a naked Ghanaian lady dragging her butt through the street to curse her boyfriend who dumped her, has gone viral online.

Though what caused the break-up was not revealed, the aggrieved lady's anger stemmed from toiling for years with her ex-boyfriend and eventually getting dumped. She was heard saying he will never be rich, never have children and never be happy in his life with the other woman.

“You shall never be rich. You shall never give birth. You shall never be happy”, she was heard cursing the ex-boyfriend.

Motorcyclists plying Oke Ira from Shonola Street junction opposite Excellence Hotel, Aguda, in the Ogba area of Lagos State, have lamented their alleged harassment and extortion by the police.

The motorcyclists told PUNCH Metro that while waiting to pick passengers, the police usually emerge in minibuses and push them off their motorcycles which they take to their stations in Ogba and Agege.

According to them, while the police at Ogba collect N2,200 for every seized motorcycle, those at Agege insist on N5,200, while N200 is for access into the station.

The owner of a seized motorcycle, Abba Ibrahim, said the policemen pushed him down from his motorcycle and took it to a station he had yet to ascertain.

“The police just collected my motorcycle. They pushed me down from the motorcycle and took it away. I don’t know which police station they took it to. I just came out from the house; I have not even made a kobo,” he said.

An executive member of the motorcyclists’ union at Aguda, Olugbenga Adams, said the problem had been on for a long time, adding that members of the union did not have anyone to stand up for them.

He explained that when the police began confiscating motorcyclists, they insisted on collecting N20,000 from each person they claimed ran foul of the law, before the fine dropped to N10,200 and N5,200.

Adams added that the motorcyclists had been going through tough times, as many of them had been arrested by the police.

He said, “When they first came, they used to collect N20,000. Later, it became N10,200 and then N5,200. What work are we doing? What money are we making? The problem is that we don’t know anybody.

“These people will come in police uniform in the morning, afternoon and evening, show their ID cards and take away as many motorcycles as they can. They will tell us that they are taking the motorcycles to Alausa.

“After the commotion, we will go to Alausa and will not see the motorcycles there, or in Area ‘G’ in Ogba and Pen Cinema. We also go to other police stations, but we don’t often get to see the motorcycles. This happens daily.”

Another motorcyclist, Sunday Awolabi, said there was a designated place for all motorcyclists to park, adding that they usually complied with the rule.

A policeman in the area, however, told our correspondent that where the motorcyclists were congregating was not a park, adding that they were supposed to move at least two metres behind to avoid causing gridlock.

“We arrest them because they leave their park to pick passengers on the road. They are not easy to control; they disturb the free flow of traffic,” he stated.

The Police Public Relations Office, DSP Bala Elkana, said he was not aware of the issue.

He invited those with complaints to the command headquarters at Ikeja, promising that the police would investigate the allegations and saction officers found wanting.

COMMANDANT-GENERAL of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC) Abdullahi Gana has directed the immediate deployment of personnel across the country to prevent breakdown of law and order.

Gana gave the directive in a statement by Mr Emmanuel Okeh, the NSCDC’s Public Relations officer (NSCDC), on Thursday in Abuja.

The commandant-general said that the deployment followed the directives of the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola.

Gana explained that the measure was to avert retaliatory attack on South African companies and people in the country.

He said he shared the thoughts of the minister, who had condemned the reprisal attack by some Nigerians as an expression of anger over the xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.

“This is not the solution to the crisis at hand because more lives of innocent Nigerians and properties worth millions of Naira would be lost in the process,’’ he said.

Gana said that, apart from deploying personnel to provide physical security, the NSCDC had engaged the Crisis Management Department (CMD) and the Peace and Conflict Resolution team to mitigate the crisis.

“This is to immediately carry out enlightenment and advocacy programme to educate the citizens on the need to embrace peace and shun violence because of its dire consequences on our collective security,’’ he added.

He appealed to Nigerians to be patient with the Federal Government and not allow the retaliatory attack to snowball into national emergency to avert its hijack by hoodlums.

A gang of three Nigerian women have gone on trial after being accused of luring a man to their apartment, beating him up and stealing Dh57,000.

The 45-year-old Iraqi victim arrived in Dubai in January 2019, and got to know a woman, who he thought was a Swedish student, through a dating app. After they spoke on the phone, they agreed to meet at her apartment in Al Quoz, but when the victim arrived he was met by a group of African women who attacked him.

“The apartment door opened and five African women dragged me inside and physically abused me,” said the Iraqi man.

The Nigerian women slapped him and asked for money. He gave them Dh1,600 to let him go, but they searched his pockets and found Dh55,975.

“They were so happy when they found this amount of cash that they stopped searching me,” he added. “I was terrified that they would kill me so I pretended to have breathing problems so they would let me go,” he added.

The defendants allowed him to leave but he alerted the building’s security and kept waiting in front of the apartment. When Dubai Police arrived, the defendants jumped out of the window to escape.

An Emirati police officer, who responded to the call, said, “The women escaped and we chased them on foot. We arrested three of them and the victim identified them before taking them to Bur Dubai police station.”

The three Nigerian women aged 30, 33 and 34, were charged with robbery. A verdict is expected later this month.

Meanwhile, Dubai Public Prosecution charged the Iraqi victim with soliciting prostitution.

He was fined Dh5,000 and deported.

Though a lot of artistes, these days, prefer to be independent instead of being signed to a record label, Kennis Music signee, Joel Amadi, thinks otherwise.

Listing the benefits he enjoys being signed to a label, Amadi told SATURDAY BEATS, “The advantage I have, being under a record label, is that I don’t think there is anything this industry would bring that I wouldn’t be able to face. Frustration is out of it, and depression is also cancelled because I have been through a lot. At a point, I thought I was going to die, as things weren’t working anymore. But right now, I think I am competent enough to face any challenge life throws at me.”

Disputing the notion that record labels don’t promote artistes as much as they should, the Hold On singer said, “Record labels are promoting people. I just shot a video for my single, and Kenny Ogungbe foot the bill. I didn’t pay a dime for it. Don Jazzy also signed some artistes and he is promoting them. I just feel a lot of artistes don’t want to be controlled. They feel that being with a record label is like being in prison. At the end of the day, it all depends on the individual. I have seen an artiste spend over N30m, yet his neighbours don’t even know his songs. It depends on one’s destiny.”

Amadi also maintained that being independent doesn’t guarantee success for an artiste . “It all depends on the individual. If you have what it takes to be independent then why not? However, being independent without experience is dangerous. As an artiste , if you have N50m to spend in the entertainment industry but lack the proper experience, you wouldn’t put the money to good use. It is important to have people who would put you through and guide you. There are so many things in the entertainment industry beyond having money and being talented. One needs to be disciplined and have the right orientation.”

The singer also stated that he decided to take a break from his music career for a reason. He added, I have been working with Masterkraft. Though I have resumed now, I decided to take a break because I needed to ‘switch up’ my kind of music. I think the idea of giving people inspirational music back-to-back is not in vogue right now. People are already stressed because of the situation of the country, so they need music which makes them feel alive in a groovy way.”
