My name is Maureen and I am a very worried and disturbed woman at the moment because my ex-boyfriend is blackmailing me, both financially and sexually and this is ruining my marriage.

I have been married for seven years now to the most wonderful man any woman can ever dream of having but two years ago, my husband, Kennedy did something I never believed he could do.

I learnt from his close friend's wife that my husband was dating another woman and I decided to do some investigations and found out it was true. I was devastated and confronted him but he denied anything like that existed, even when all the signs were there.

I was so hurt and vulnerable that I reached out to an old boyfriend, John , whom I saw as a friend and could confide in. John was so nice and soothed my pains in many ways and before I knew it, I had accepted his invitation for lunch.

That was my first mistake. I went out with him again for dinner and after that, as he was driving me back home, he said he needed to pick up something in his house and invited me in.

I had no reason not to go in with him, after all, he had lifted my spirit but that was mistake number two because he ended up sleeping with me that night. I felt so bad about what I had done that I cried all the way home and blamed myself for walking into it with my eyes open.

Little did I know that he had recorded the sexual act because when he called me again two days later to come to his house and when I told him I never wanted anything to do with him again, he began threatening me that he had a tape of our sex session and would not hesitate to send a copy to my husband as well as putting it up on the social media.

I had to go to him to beg him not to do such a thing that would break my home but after showing me the video, he told me I had to continue sleeping with him or he would release it.

This has continued for over six months now and John has added another dimension to it. He makes monetary demands as well as sexual demands every time and anytime I attempt to refuse, he would use the video to threaten me.

If that video gets out, not only would I lose my home and children, my reputation and that of my family would be destroyed.
Please I need urgent advice.

Maureen,

Lagos."

The suspect, Earnest Young , 30, who co incidentally is the son of a retired Deputy Superintendent of Police, was arrested with his accomplice, Rasheed Tiamiyu, 20, on Eko Bridge around 10:00 p.m. on Tuesday night.

She was found with $114,245 and €2,020 cash inside 13 white envelopes in her luggage.

Olukoya did not provide evidence to support her claim.

This, according to NDLEA, suggests currency trafficking.

The chant of their learning by rote tears the air around. The children learn in an environment characterized by dirt, foul odour and outdoors; yet, they recite the lines handed out by their teacher excitedly with their eyes readily fixed on the teacher for more instructions.

The children sit on bare floor with paper and pencil in their hands, learning and writing but the thought you are left with, is how they cope when it rains and in the blazing Abuja sun.

While some barely have clothes on, with mucus running down their noses and trace of tears on their faces, some with visible skin infection on their heads and body due to poor hygiene, they still recite their two- letter words and other basics with enthusiasm.

The centre, which is divided into four classes of nursery one to primary one, while the older class is under a barely completed zinc house. With less than five tables, learning and sweating in the scorching sun blend to make classes bitter and painful. The younger ones are seated outside under the tree.

This is the scenario at the Justice Development and Peace Commission Learning Centre, a school created by the Catholic Church at Yimitu in Waru District of the Abuja Municipal Area Council. The school is about 20 minutes drive from the popular Apo Market that harbours people from the Gbagyi lineage and now quarters of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) who fled from Borno because of insurgency.

About 120 children of Borno parents have only but four teachers coaching them. What is observable about these teachers is the passion and drive they have in teaching in the children, even though they lack the requisite qualification to teach.

Unfortunately, even though the children basically learn to read and write under the tree, they do not acquire much knowledge each day due to the limited education of their teachers, inadequate text books and notebooks as well as lack of
decent classrooms, chairs and desks.

Volunteer teachers

According to Ifeanyi Mbah, who is awaiting admission into the university and is in charge of the center, the children have no other opportunity to learn because their parents can hardly feed their families, let alone send them to school. Faced with the challenge of preparing the less privileged young minds for the future, Mbah and three young women from Borno State assemble at the centre everyday to teach the children.
He said what spurs him each morning to dress up and get to the mock school, is the desire to improve the status of the children.

Incidentally, he notices changes for the better every passing day with the children.
His words: “The improvement of these kids is what drives me. That is what makes me wake up in the morning and start coming to this place to teach them. It makes me happy. Many started teaching but left. I just want to help them so that one day, they will remember me for something.

“Their behaviour has changed in so many ways. Initially, most of them liked fighting, but today, they friendly. Before now, they could neither read nor write; but today, they can read and even speak, which is very encouraging. They are still learning but they are trying.”

He stated that even though he does not get paid, he was happy and would keep teaching the kids because his efforts have not been in vain.

“It is voluntary work. We are not paid for our services. It is just that our efforts are yielding good results. I love teaching young children, so I just try my best to teach them for the meantime and the three other teachers are just trying their best to help their people. It was not easy, because we have to start from the beginning, teaching ABCD, and today, most of them can write”, he said.

Making it good

Mbah, who said they had achieved so much in their self-assigned job, with little and under a less conducive environment, lamented that apart from lack of chairs and the poor learning environment, most of the children are malnourished. He said the quest for knowledge has kept them going and they learn with excitement.

According to him, each time it rains, the children get dirtier because they sit on the floor under the tree to learn. He called for assistance from the government and public- spirited individuals because children are the future of Nigeria.

“We need chairs because as you can see, the children sit on the floor. Sometimes, when it rains, the place will be wet, their clothes get dirty and nowhere to sit. Some of them bring chairs from home to learn. It is a very big challenge. We need people to come and help us.

Improvised helping hand

Also, one of the teachers, Christiana Abraham, a mother from Borno State, said the job is all about helping the children, even though she does not have the professional qualification and has never been a teacher. Moved by the desire to give them basic knowledge, she resolved that since her children and others have no access to quality education at the IDP camp, the only way out is to keep trying to close the gap.

She said:
“I am here to help them because their parents do not have money to pay their school fees. The little things I know are what I teach them even though I never trained as a teacher. I was in school before and I know these basics. That is why I am transferring my knowledge. I am happy that I am teaching and they are learning.”

A pupil’s hunger for education

One of the pupils with so much enthusiasm to learn, Victoria Peter, treks from Waru to the learning centre every morning. The 12-year-old girl is in primary two, which is the highest class in the centre and she hopes to further her education if given the opportunity. She said the quest for good education is the only reason she walks the distance to the centre everyday.

“I have learnt a lot. I know English, Maths, social studies and quantitative. I come from Waru everyday. I trek to this place every morning and after school, I go back. I do that because I want to learn. Even if there is no money, I want to be a doctor and intend to further my studies, if given the opportunity”, said the young girl.

A 28-year -old man, Blessing Enoyoze, has been arrested by the police in Edo State for defiling two of his wife’s nieces to appease angry gods.

Enoyoze reportedly committed that act after a native doctor told him to sleep with two virgins to appease the gods in order for his ailing first son to get well.

The native doctor was said to have told him that the son took ill because his wife slept with another man.

The Nation gathered the wife confessed to have committed adultery and offered to bring two of her nieces to her husband.
The victims told our reporter that the suspect committed the act while they were sleeping at night.

One of girls who could not live with the shame invited the police.

The wife of the victim, who refused to disclose her name, said she went out the night her husband defiled her nieces.
The woman said she succumbed to pressure from a man after her husband was caught with another woman.

Following his elevation as the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu has replaced the immediate past petroleum minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke, as the Conference President of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries, OPEC.

In November 2014, Alison-Madueke was named the first female president of OPEC when she was elected at the 166th ordinary meeting of the organisation. There have been speculations that President Muhammadu Buhari as Nigeria’s substantive Minister of Petroleum Resources would take over the OPEC top job, but the body in a recent update on its website named Kachikwu as the head of the OPEC conference.

While disclosing his plans for OPEC, the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, promised to do his best to delay Iran’s intended oversupply of crude oil, to control pricing.

Speaking with reporters in Lagos, he said: “I think the key thing will be obviously crude oil price. There is a lot of sensitivity on that, $42 currently and with potential to go down if Iran throws their barrels into the field.

“My first target as I meet with ministers one-on-one is to try to delay Iran’s flooding of the market to the last quarter of next year. I will be talking with Iran’s oil minister on that so that we can stabilise the price.

“Maybe, hopefully, by the first or second quarter of next year, we will begin to see how that statement can now embolden us to go and begin to address removing the 1.5mbpd production that is lying in the market internationally.”

others at the Lagos State Police command, Ikeja, has confessed that he plotted the kidnap of his boss because she maltreated him.

Operatives of Department of State Service (DSS) on Tuesday morning arrested ex -National Security Adviser, Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd).

Dasuki who was placed under house arrest and denied an opportunity to travel abroad by the DSS has now been arrested .

Although the DSS did not state the reason for arresting Dasuki , it is strongly believed that new reports of a $ 2billion arms contract fraud might be the reason.

It would be recalled that on Monday, a panel set up by President Muhammadu Buhari to probe defence spendings between 2007 and 2015 revealed the scale of looting by the National Security adviser .

Here is an excerpt from the report : “ As part of the findings , the committee has analyzed interventions from some organizations that provided funds to the Office of the National Security Adviser , Defence Headquarters , Army Headquarters Naval Headquarters and Nigerian Air Force Headquarters , both in local and foreign currencies .

“So far the total extra budgetary interventions articulated by the committee is N 643 , 817 , 955 , 885 .18 . The foreign currency component is to the tune of $ 2, 193 , 815 , 000 .83 .

“These amounts exclude grants from the State Governments and funds collected by the DSS and Police. It was observed that in spite of this huge financial intervention , very little was expended to support defense procurement .

“The committee also observed that of 513 contracts awarded at $8, 356 , 525 , 184 . 32; N 2, 189 , 265 , 724 , 404 .55 and € 54, 000 .00 ; Fifty Three (53 ) were failed contracts amounting to $ 2, 378 , 939 , 066 .27 and N13 , 729 , 342 , 329 . 87 respectively.

“Interestingly, it was noted that the amount of foreign currency spent on failed contracts was more than double the $ 1bn loan that the National Assembly approved for borrowing to fight the insurgency in the North East .

“The committee also discovered that payments to the tune of N 3, 850 , 000 , 000 .00 were made to a single company by the former NSA without documented evidence of contractual agreements or fulfilment of tax obligations to the FGN.

“Further findings revealed that between March 2012 and March 2015, the erstwhile NSA , Lt Col MS Dasuki (rtd ) awarded fictitious and phantom contracts to the tune of N2 , 219 , 188 , 609 .50 , $1 , 671 , 742 , 613 .58 and € 9, 905 , 477 .00 .

The contracts which were said to be for the purchase of 4 Alpha Jets , 12 helicopters , bombs and ammunition were not executed and the equipment were never supplied to the Nigerian Air Force , neither are they in its inventory .

Unknowingly, most Nigerian elite who patronise European banks are in danger of early death because of the manipulations of their bankers who introduce them to ‘doctors’ death’, LEADERSHIP investigations reveal.
Checks reveal that not a few of the elite in Africa and Nigeria in particular, are carriers of one killer disease or the other, especially cancer through the patronage of select doctors who are introduced to them by these banks.

According to a highly placed Nigerian, who craved anonymity, the antics of some of these notorious and selfish bankers in Europe, is to persuade “our rich and wealthy people to their early graves unknowingly”.
“Most of our elite across board who keep their money abroad are unaware of the danger they are exposing themselves to.

The primary reason for doing this is to keep away their wealth and riches from their country but these bankers have no love for them. What those banks are found of doing is discouraging their customers from Africa, especially, Nigeria, in patronising the hospitals in their fatherland on the pretext of introducing them to the ‘best hospitals around’; they would tell them that as a result of their patronage, they were entitled to the best medical check-up at their own expense as this was their way of appreciating the customer. They will be persistent and consistent until their victims accepted.

“Once the customer accepts, he would be introduced to those hospitals that are on their payroll and such patient would be discouraged in allowing any other doctor to assess them for whatever reason. He would be asked to visit them whenever the need arises.
“It is in this process that one of those killer diseases will be injected into his or her system which may take months or even years to manifest.

Even when the disease is detected, they are the ones the victim will run to and in the event that the patient goes elsewhere, they might not be able to diagnose the main problem until it is too late.”
Speaking further, the source who is a top security officer, advised those who have not joined the league to stop the idea because “it is an invitation to an early grave”.

According to him, “The only reason why most wealthy Nigerians are engaging in what is now referred to as ‘medical tourism’ is to cover up the disease they are nursing and to abide by the rules and regulation given to them by their European doctors who lure them to early graves unknowingly.”

When asked of the intention of those banks and hospitals that practice such deadly game, he explained that it was for selfish reasons.

“You may not understand, what they are doing is to kill their choice customers and keep the money in their custody and they share this ill-gotten wealth between themselves and their medical collaborators.”

The source went further to explain another new trick the banks have just introduced to keep these funds in their custody, “those notorious banks have different ways of snatching our money from those who keep it with them. There is a particular banking system which can only be accessed through the customer’s voice in order to transfer money from their account to another. What you just need to do is to answer calls from your bank to confirm and that is all but the danger is once you are dead, there is no one who can operate it because you have gone with your voice.”

The source, who has spent most of his career abroad, urged the elite in Africa and Nigeria in particular to stop patronising banks in Europe in order to save their lives.

They should rather invest their money in the continent, taking a cue from the good work Dangote is doing all over as regards job creation.

“To help myself and my family, I decided to do something smart. I first bought this uniform and later bought the DSP rank and ID card and uniform for N15,000. I was dismissed from Surulere division in 1984. They framed me up and dismissed me.

A 54-year-old man, Michael Bisa, was over the weekend arrested by operatives of the Rapid Response Squad, RRS, in Lagos for allegedly selling fake phones to unsuspecting customers in the Oshodi area of the state.

The suspect, DAILY POST gathered, tricks members of the public by disguising as a mobile phone seller in the area, yet sells bars of soap well packaged, in place of phones.

Following his arrest, Bisa, a father of four, blamed his ordeal on poverty. According to him, “What I did to my customers is called exchange.

The people who come to me to buy mobile phones would be shown a real phone, but while we are discussing the price, I would carefully hide the phone in a white handkerchief and swap it with a bar of soap which I had already cut to size and put in a phone case.

“The moment the customer leaves, I would hide to change my clothes so that he or she would not recognise me afterwards,” Bisa added.

“I was a refrigerator technician in Delta State. I came to Lagos to look for greener pastures about 15 years ago.”

Speaking further, the suspect who hails from Effurun, Delta State, said a friend, now dead, identified as Hakeem Tijani, introduced him to the job about four years ago.

“When the situation got so hard for me, I met a friend, Hakeem Tijani, who is now late. He was the one who taught me the job. Since that time, about four years ago, I have been surviving this way.”

Confirming the arrest, the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Joe Offor, said the suspect would be charged to court soon.

According to Offor, the police recovered bars of soap, shirts, some amount of money and envelopes from the suspect.

I was in JS.S 3 in 2002 at the Federal Government College, Vandeikya, Benue State. At the time I was initiated, I never knew that I was entering into cultism.
Those days, we used to break bounds. We would scale the school fence. I was actually initiated during the period known as “mock extension”,

A suspect under investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, is dead. Arowofela Olufemi, who was in the custody of the EFCC, at about 5.30 am today, November 28, 2015 complained of chest pain and was rushed to the nearby Military Hospital but gave up the ghost before doctors could attend to him.

The cause of the sudden death is yet to be ascertained even as the corpse of the deceased has been deposited at the mortuary of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital. The family of the deceased has already been notified of the incident while the matter had been reported at the Onikan Division of the Nigeria Police.

Olufemi was arrested following a complaint by the Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC, alleging that he was involved in the fraudulent conversion of dividend warrants to the tune of over N100million. In deed, he was picked up at the bank while attempting to cash stolen dividend warrants.

After his arrest and detention, he was offered administrative bail but could not produce a surety to perfect his bail.
