RomanceInside Human Parts Market In Lagos by glorina(op): 2:37am On Feb 18, 2009
Inside human parts market in Lagos




Jankara market is self- effacing and deceptively ordinary. Located close to Idumagbo area of Lagos Island, the market is just a stretch of an old street.

Ears on the ground
Like other streets and markets, canvassers and touts hang around the place pitching for customers and mugus (gullible people). Though low in reputation,touts are an essential segment of this time – honoured market. Over the years, the place has come to be known as a place where any thing goes. And so, the touts come handy here.

They have their ears on the ground, and therefore know all the goings-on.

Book and wait
A week ago, our reporter posed as a juju priest who was in dire need of human body parts for urgent rituals. After about four hours of waiting and being passed from one “contact” to another, and played around like ping-pong, the reporter got a dealer who “booked” him. The rule here is, if you want a fresh human body part, you book and wait. If your order is for dry parts you get instant delivery.

But you must be an expert in human anatomy to decipher the parts you want from man's closest animal relations – gorilla, chimpanzee and monkey.

Dark secret
But don't jump to a hasty conclusion, there are genuine traders and honest businessmen and women at Jankara.They perhaps don't even know that the place also habour a dark secret. A police post even looks over the place. A signpost calls it Oko Awo Police Post. An office on the counter there stared at our reporter angrily when he asked him if the police know about the wheeling and dealing in human body parts in the area: “What kind of question be this? I beg go, no be for here—o” the police officer retorted angrily.

Menumo
This expression when translated literally means “seal your lips” in Yoruba. The term is said in whisper and hushed tone — menu…mo .When you say the first syllable, you pause, look around to be sure there's no third party or curiosity cat eaves dropping. When a deal is struck, you will be taken to some dank shanties and courtyard for your consignment.

The business is all about raw cash. A fresh human head has a street value of N250, 000. Fresh internal organs like heart, lung, kidney, and so on go for 500,000 a piece.

Other vital parts like penis, vagina and breast costs N50,000 each.Fresh tongue is sold at N100,000.

Sunday Sun learnt when a tongue is “ritualized and jujufied” that it “works well” for traders and people who apply for visa to go abroad “when well prepared, no one go question you for embassy and even your working place”, a dealer whose alias is Baba Ibeji revealed.

Toe and finger, we further learnt are good for travelers and business people. “ The toe is for traveling without falling.

The finger is to make money. Any thing you touch turns to money”, Baba Ibeji said.

Fresh toe and finger goes for N50,000 each.
Ritual animals
Even animals considered endangered species are not spared in Jankara. Herbalist beside the area's butcher shop openly sell a wide range of animals. Imprisoned in wire-mesh cages are live animals like eagles, tortoise, chamellion, alligator and so on. A live eagle goes for N10,000.

Dead and dry one costsN500,000. Live Tortois costN5,000 while ordinary empty one is sold for N2,500.

Live chamelion costs N2,500. Dead and dry one goes for N2,000. The lizard-like creature, Sunday Sun learnt, is in demand by Advance Fee Fraudster —419. “When the thing is worked”, it means the more you look, the less you see, you will never caught,” one of the dealers who declined to give his name said.

Tough-skinned
The dealers know their terrain and the world they inhabit.They smell and sense danger in the air all the time. They are inclined to do business with you if you mention and have a prove of a regular Juju priest and customer. Even at this, they will still carry out a check on you. There's no physical search. Under the pretex of “bringing your thing”, they will call your guarrantor and run a check on you. Any discovery of falsehood, they will cancel the deal and melt out of sight, leaving you to wait forever

Where missing people go
Jankara might be the possible place where missing persons in Lagos resurface but reduced to faceless, liveless body parts. As though to corroborate this, the managing director of Lagos State waste Management Authority (LAWMAN), Mr Ola Oresanya told Sunday Sun in an interview that hardly a day passes in the city without street sweepers and refuse collectors picking dismembered corpses and body parts.

“The corpses and body parts may be the handwork of ritualist and hit-and-run drivers”, he said.

We learnt that the morgues in the city are brimming with unclaimed dcorpses.There's no more land for mass burial. So cremnation is the only option,” the source said.

CelebritiesMarketers May Ban Van Vicker Over Demand To Copyright His Movies by glorina(op): 2:33am On Feb 18, 2009
Marketers may ban Van Vicker



If Ghanaian actor, Van Viker is not modifying his demand to get the American right to every movie he features in Nigeria he might be losing lots of jobs soon. According to a source that is close to the Almighty Alaba marketers, a move is already on to ban Van Viker because of his hard stand to get the right to market the copyright of the movies he features in America.

Our source said the marketers feel insulted every time Van Viker demands for the right to market the America copyright of every movie he shot in Nigeria. “for God sake we are paying this foreigner how can he come here to dictate what to do with the copyright of the movie we produce with our hard earned money.

Van Viker is too small an actor to make such demand moreover he is not an investor he is just one of the people we call to work. Let him not think he has now arrived because we chose to use him. Let him not get swollen headed, we can ban him. Even our big starts like Nkem Owoh, Ramsey Nouah, Emeka Ike and the rest don't ask for America copyright. How can he reap where he did not sow? If he wants the copyright he should go and produce his own movie. Let those who know him warn him, he might lose all the jobs coming from Nigeria if he continues with such egoistic stance” an enrage marketer told us.

Another marketer who wouldn't like his name in print told that the sales of the copyright are other means through which they make money since sales of movies have dropped. “Giving Van Viker the right to market the copyright in America is like selling our birthright. We can't afford to do that. We are the one paying the piper, we should dictate the tune.”

Like they say in my homeland, 'a word is enough for a wise', let Van Viker beware.

PoliticsSex Barter! Nigerian Shares Wife With American For Green Card by glorina(op): 1:15pm On Feb 17, 2009
Sex barter! Nigerian shares wife with American for green card

This may sound like fairy tale, but it is real. A Nigerian couple that migrated to God's own country in search of greener pastures resorted to pseudo marriage to secure the green card believed to be a ticket to heaven. First, the man introduces his betrothed wife to his American darling as his sister to pave way for his marriage to the American lady.

When the marriage crashed, his wife marries an American to secure the life ticket. So how did it fail? Attempt by a friend to sleep with his pseudo sister (Nigerian wife) foiled the deal. His 'oyibo wife realized she was a guinea pig and quit the affair.

Nigerians at a recent function in the United States were informed about the travails of fellow countrymen in a bid to get the coveted green card. A was asked: “Can a man betroth his wife to another in exchange for U.S. green card or a woman disguise as sister to the hubby under the same roof with another woman to enable him get a green card?

“Oh yes!” KK, a Nigerian, responded at the event, adding: “We know some people here who have married and divorced up to 18 times,” he jocularly remarked at the end of year party in Silverspring, Maryland, last December.

“In fact, there are some people here that betrothed their wives to other men to get papers,” the man fondly called KK said.

According to him, the craze for green card defies the sanctity of the biblical injunction that “what God has joined together, let no man put asunder.”

To validate his point, he paints a gloomy picture. “One of our brothers who lived in the US for 28 years was deported last October after he handed his wife to another man to get papers.”

The man in his early 50's identified as Johnson, from the South Eastern part of the country, may have to live with the psychological torture for the rest of his life. After 28 years of sojourn in the U.S., he was deported as an illegal alien.

How did it happen? He had gone to the Immigration office for green card interview after several failed marriages. After the interview, he was asked to go with his wife. As he stepped to the door, the immigration officer ordered him back and instructed him to look at the volume of file about him on the table. When he opened the file, he discovered that he had been advised to report for voluntary departure, which he failed and was placed on deportation status for violation of the order.

Johnson's case is a bitter pill for the couple. He arrived the U.S. with his betrothed wife from Nigeria, but the couple cohabited as brother and sister under the same roof to accommodate the man's American wife married to secure papers with the hope that once it was successful, Johnson would file a divorce and remarry his betrothed wife. The union lasted until the man's friend attempted to date his real (Nigerian) wife. His resistance incurred his friend's wrath and the latter spilled the beans by reporting him to the American wife. The wife lived with this emotional torture for years until the burble burst and they parted ways, yet the green card could not be secured.

Having exhausted the man's option, the alternative was for the woman to move in with an American man as husband with the same intention. Since the woman and her hubby were at the mercy of the American, the woman appeased her new heartthrob with material and human needs in a bid to get papers. Interestingly, after several years of savouring the woman and milking her of hard-earned dollar as fees for the services, the Americana hubby declined on the interview date, leaving the woman in the cold at the Immigration and Citizenship Services that concluded that the marriage was contracted for immigration purposes.

But that would not deter the couple. With the couple's fate hanging in the balance, the wife filed a divorce with her pseudo American husband and re-married another. This time, the process was thorough but short-lived. The snag was that having secured her green card, the attempt to file for her original husband landed them in trouble, resulting in the deportation of her husband by immigration officials. Efforts by his town union and lawyers to rescue the man were unsuccessful.

The joke that led to the revelation was initially intended to lighten the mood at the dinner party. However, it stirred various reactions from the audience and offered an insight into the trauma many Nigerians experience abroad. For many, it evoked feelings of anguish, nightmare, depression, and helplessness that characterize their daily life as they struggle to secure the 'the green card' perceived as 'the life card' in the United States of America. For some, the joke was reminiscent of the murky waters they swam to acquire the green card, widely believed to be ticket to heaven.

Shortly after the discussion that dominated a chunk of the discussion settled, further probing by Sunday Sun opened the floodgate of gory tales from the Nigerian comedian in his early 50's, who is a chauffeur in a popular state in the US.

“My brother, I have lived in more than five states. I first lived in New York 23 years ago, when I arrived U.S. I married a lady but that didn't work out, and because of the fear that she might report my illegal status to the immigration, I moved to Tennessee. Again in Tennessee, I remarried another lady. The marriage also crashed,” he told Sunday Sun.

According to him, the failure of the second marriage worsened his problem.

How? “After the necessary protocol by our attorney, we were invited for green card interview by the immigration. On the appointment day, I was full of joy, hoping for the ticket for a better opportunity to access educational grants that would transform my life.”

Unfortunately, KK's dream never materialized. He was denied the green card. Worst still, he was requested to report for voluntarily deportation on a fixed date. The voluntary deportation warrant by the immigration sent jitters into his spine, having left Nigeria eight years then. He eloped. “I relocated to Missouri with cab driving as the only option of surviving, since I could not get work permit for employment” he further disclosed.

Twenty-five years down the line, KK was yet to visit home because that would amount to his voluntary departure. To persuade him to visit Nigeria, his brothers sent a mail purporting that his father had passed on, but that would not bring him home. Now in his early 50's, KK still has no wife or child. But, he believes it shall get better someday.

CelebritiesGenevieve Nnaji's Place In Nollywood History by Sola Osofisan of naijarules by glorina(op): 2:06am On Feb 16, 2009
Some of you guys need a little history lesson, it appears. Whatever you think of this young lady, she, more than any of the current wave of Nollywood faces, is responsible for this industry capturing the imagination of so many at home and abroad. Sure, there were others before her, but none of them had the magnetism that she brought to the screen, the true aura of a star (who didn't have to do anything to attract and command your attention on screen). Movies featuring her usually alongside the younger Ramsey Nouah were the greatest draws once upon a time (when video movies actually sold hundreds of thousands of tapes) and they did get a legion of folks (like the Mercy Johnson being hailed today) into the industry you all see today. We're just a people with incredibly short memory,

If history is written fairly, Genevieve Nnaji was synonymous with video movie heaven in Nigeria. She was and still is a goddess in some circles. When she started, some of you were still in high school sef and that may be why it is easy to forget. She practically single-handedly gave Nollywood the glamour and mystique it boasts today. And she has acted (whatever your understanding of acting is) her way into the history books and will be studied and analysed for many years to come, just for being in the forefront of this still gathering thunder. She may be a kid and may have made mistakes (that may be partly responsible for the way she's ridiculed and under-appreciated by some here and elsewhere, spreading stories often filled with untruths), but the fact is all the charismatic screen faces throughout time have stumbled sometime, from Marilyn Monroe to Angelina Jolie,

Accept it or not, Genevieve Nnaji's place in the history of Nollywood cannot be denied. Some threw money, others flexed technical muscles, but it was the innocent face of a Genevieve Nnaji caught up in those silly love stories that moved the most tapes and VCDs, that fueled the fantasy of boys in the unseen corners of their minds and turned every girl into a Nollywood wannabe,  And she's still going strong today! Truth is only a handful of people will reach the height she has reached at this young age, even if they devoted a lifetime to it. We don't appreciate our own in Nigeria and its a shame. I just stumbled on this 2003 article again and my fingers started talking, Ms. Nnaji, You go girl,
