Crime › Suspected Car Thief Fingers Popular Ladipo Spare Parts Dealer by klassic(op): 5:14am On Jan 23, 2017

On January 23, 2017 4:11

By Evelyn Usman

LAGOS—A 33-year-old barber, who was arrested by operatives of the Rapid Response Squad, while fleeing with vandalised vehicles parts from a company in Victoria Island, Lagos, has alleged that a spare parts dealer at the popular Ladipo International Market, Mushin, Lagos, was his boss.

The suspect, Olawasegun Oladimeji, who just finished serving a three-month jail term over a similar incident, alleged that he had been working for the auto parts dealer for eight years.

Vanguard gathered that the suspect stormed an unnamed company’s premises, where he allegedly vandalised some vehicles. He was alleged to have also stolen some phones belonging to the guards, who were sleeping.

However, one of the guards woke up and sighted the intruder leaving the premises. He raised the alarm that attracted a team of RRS on patrol, who apprehended him and recovered several Toyota Corolla body parts and some phones from him.

Confession

During preliminary investigation, Oladimeji was discovered to have been released from prison after he was jailed for three months for removing Toyota body parts from a park at Apapa.

Oladimeji then disclosed that an auto parts dealer at Ladipo Market (names withheld) usually told him the specifications of cars to vandalise.

According to him, “oga (the auto parts dealer) has my number. He usually called me to give me the type of vehicle body parts that are on high demand in the market. He would tell me to get them for him.

“I have been working for him for eight years. I steal different vehicle body parts, particularly Toyota products.

I usually vandalise Toyota Corolla brain box, headlights, rear light and buttons. Since I came back from prison in November 2016, I have stolen brain-boxes from 47 cars. My targets are Toyota products.

“Whenever I am going on operation, he is the one that gives me transport money. Most times, he told me the specifications of the car he wants me to operate on.”

On the latest operation, he said: “I live in Marwa, Victoria Island. I had surveyed the company earlier in the day. And I knew those cars belonged to that company. At about 4a.m, I had removed all I needed to remove.

“The security man sighted me and raised alarm. Unfortunately for me, RRS officers, who were on patrol, joined in the chase and succeeded in arresting me.

“I usually broke one of the small side glasses at the back seat of vehicles from where I vandalise the needed parts. Thereafter, I would call Oga, who would tell me where to meet any of his boys for the collection of the parts. He usually sent Onyema and Chukwu to collect the parts from me.

“We usually meet at Boundary in Ajegunle or at Toyota Bus Stop, Oshodi. I sell Toyota Corolla brain box for N30,000; N25,000 or N20,000. The least of the parts is N2,000.”

Two others arrested

His confessional statement led to the arrest of the mentioned errand boys—Onyema and Chukwu.

In his confessional statement, Chukwu said: “Our boss usually gives me N30,000 to N35,000 to give to Segun and collect the goods from him. At times, he gave me N1,000 or N500 after the deal.

“Occasionally, he would tell me ‘nothing dey on top’ (there is no extra money). Segun has been supplying stolen spare parts to him for some years. We are just hustlers.”

Confirming the incident, Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Dolapo Badmus, disclosed that the suspects had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, SCIID, Yaba, for further investigation.

She added that the Command would not rest on its oars at nipping in the bud criminal activities in the state.

sosa993:
what are you even saying , the only way to solve such problem is to leave the marriage. a woman died in my sister's area because of constant Beatng from her husband, many neighbours told her to leave but no she stayed because of her children. where is she now dead.

Am sure you do not have a sister, because if you have one you wouldn't talk this way, and at the end of the day most women that get beaten by their husbands are usually the gentle ones.

the trouble makers don't get beaten by their husbands, the gentle ones get married to good men, which is life. like the case of the violent ibadan woman that stabbed her husband in the neck because he once had a child before marrying her, I heard the man is a very gentle man.

my point is most of you men that beat your wives, usually beat the gentle and mumu wives. and her only solution before she dies is to run for her life.

we are talking about getting tortured by one's husband, you are saying equality, Smh.

any talk, they start shouting shebi you want equality, the early you men know that , that statement you made reeks of inferiority complex the better, did you see any where I mentioned her being equal to her husband.

See en ! Before your draw conclude , make you just imagine wet in fit happen. Make we reason am together.
You know when you gadjet don dey misbehave too much, them go come say make we reset am to factory mode to clear everi. Na so e happen I suppose.
The lady don dry error too much , so i believe say the man call customer care and them tell am to use one better slap reset the woman to default settings. So e nor get choice despite say he hand be like undertaker hand, e gats do am.
Well ,the woman collect extra sheet as collateral damage. Well make she buy plaster cover am. Na once in 10years reset , so nothing spoil. If you don marry u go understand say for both partners , reset to default settings is needed once in a while . Either through quarrels, sex, collection (beating) or panel beating (na any , two or all). Cos for some women, na all the codes you need press before the matter click.

If for 10 years he hand nor touch light you and you have 3kids, they the lady must have really crossed the line to get smacked . Things don't just happen something make them happen. Cos you be woman nor mean say make duck up be your other name na.
Example, you dry run your mouth like tap from woman resources and na you duck up ooooo. The man dry ask qwesion as a man suppose do, you begin run your mouth like those danfo engine for lagidi.

Okay e go parlour, you carry the same wahala come, he leave you plug ear fone go the other room, you still carry mend follow am.
The man vex use one slap reset your brain to factory mode. You ear deaf and your face tear as the gbege dry shele. You come social media dry yarn poan.
If I be the man, one of two things na e sure. Either I free the house for you go chill out for hotel for 2months or you take brake go chill for your father house. Cos I nor wan hear how e happen.
Make ona self reason am. Cos some woman can make you slap the devil out of their ministry when their mouth don dey run like molue engine.

Business › Ex-bankers Fight CBN, NDIC, 4 Banks Over N9.8bn by klassic(op): 6:35pm On Jan 17, 2017

By Providence Obuh

EX-BANKERS of eight non-consolidated banks have sued the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC), Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and four acquirer banks over unpaid N9.8 billion terminal benefit 11 years after disengagement from the services of the non-consolidated banks.

The eight non-consolidated banks are Allstates Trust Bank, Hallmark Bank, Assurance Bank, Eagle Bank, Gulf Bank, Liberty Bank, Metropolitan Bank and Trade Bank.

The former bankers filed an action suit through the Registered Trustees of the Association of Ex-Staff of Non-Consolidated Banks of Nigeria and all ex-staff of eight banks not consolidated in the banks consolidation exercise at the National Industrial Court, Lagos Judicial Division.

Acquiring banks joined in the suit are Ecobank Nigeria Plc, UBA Plc, Skye Bank Plc and Zenith Bank Plc.

A breakdown of the claimants’ gratuities showed that Allstates and Hallmark Bank acquired by Ecobank were owed over N7billion; UBA acquired Gulf Bank, Liberty Bank, Metropolitan Bank and Trade Bank, owing ex-staff of the respective banks over N1.3 billion, while Skye Bank and Zenith Bank were owing about N600 million and N22 million respectively.

Recall that in 2005, the CBN under Prof. Chukwuma Soludo as the governor, carried out consolidation exercise for banks asking that they recapitalise with N25 billion and banks who were unable to recapitalise had their operating licences withdrawn.

At the hearing of the suit held at Court 2, presided over by Justice Benedict Kanyip, the presiding judge advised the association members to come as individuals even as he adjourned the case to April 26, 2017.

Claimaints’ Counsel, Daniel Omotilewa, said that the Act imposes a duty on the NDIC to ensure that acquiring banks take up the deposits and other liabilities of the acquired banks, including the terminal benefits of ex-staff.

He hinted that if the right things were done at the right time, it was the banks that were supposed to pay because they were supposed to acquire the assets and the liability. “But they made it a sort of cherry picking, acquire cars, buildings. Our position is that the law does not allow them to do that and if NDIC and CBN had done the right thing at the right time, it is these banks that should have paid. Because they allow the banks to go, they too are defendant to this action.

“They are the ones that supervised the process, so the onus is strongly on them, for allowing some of these banks to go away, they don’t have any other choice than to find a way of paying them their money,” he said.

Imposed poverty

Chairman, Association of ex-staff of Non-Consolidated Banks, Mr. Magnus Maduka, said that the number of people affected are over 10,000 adding that the Association has lost about 100 persons to death as a result of imposed poverty.

Magnus assured members to keep faith on the case, saying, “We belong to different banks and on the average, 14 banks were affected initially, but two of those banks got settled, Lead Bank and City Express Bank, leaving us to about 12 banks in all. If we take a thousand per bank, we are over 10,000.

“Example is Hallmark where I worked as Deputy General Manager (DGM). That bank has about 1,400 workers. We were trying to explore the possibility of settling this diplomatically without having to go to court, we made all manners of pleas to NDIC, CBN and the regulatory authorities of the banks but they were playing us along, acknowledging that they owed us but suddenly what they are saying to us is that upon realising the assets of the bank, then they will settle us and we are talking of about over 10 years and they are still talking about realising assets now, it means, they do not want to pay us but trying to frustrate us.

I wonder oo. His presence will distract the professional fighters. Why must he be climbing the truck when he is not a certified fighters, and he was even giving directions where to put out. There are some things you don't joke or make headlines with. The photographers and paparazzi will be distracting the work done there. Just look at howmany people holding phones and recording the so called drama.
Am very sure nothing meaniful will be achieved in that pulling off the infeno. It will totally raise that truck and the surroundings down.
What happened if there is huge fire explosion in the course of using small plastic container to pull heavy fire off? The ff will be struggling to save the governor as well as pull the fire off. My kingsmen, that are really certified mumu will be hailing him. Am sure deep inside him that is for the camera.
All what he needs to do is put all the machineries and logistics in order for emergences like this ,just like what ambode is doing, may not be something big but good equipments and rescue missions and his presence is not needed there.smh

He is the number fire fighter of ekiti state. No some governor or president people are being murdered like cockroaches behind their office and yet nothing is being done about it. Henhas not even visited.Rubbish

But then, his mum stepped in and had the best comeback ever:

"My dearest _ , hate to break this racist orgy between you and your “ingenious” friends. We’ve never meant to tell you this, and maybe I shouldn’t do it even now, but you have really crossed the line this time. So - you deserve this.”

I just wanted to tell you that we (your dad and myself) have adopted you 23 years back (when you were 2) from an Armenian family who was at the time living in Sofia, Bulgaria.

Still, nothing to be ashamed of. You still turned out to be a young successful banker with a great life. Guess those “dirty foreigners” with their “dirty genes” ARE capable of achieving something in their life after all.

PS- We are still expecting you for lunch on Sunday. I am preparing Spaghetti Bolognese. Hope that’s not too “foreign” for you."

If you were the dude , how would you relate with your fellow racist friends and others who viewed you a racist and avoided you?

Would you still attend lunch?

Lastly how will you feel about your mum for doing this to you on a social media?

Pwettyella:
Very nice writeup
My thought exactly
Saying he made a mistake marrying her is really bad and unfair. For crying out loud no one is perfect. we all av our shortcomings,and hers is not exceptional. I really feel for her,coming out on social platform to riddicle her like this isn't fair at all, I don't think she deserves all this

My thought, but in as much as I blame op, I think either he genuinely wants advice on how to change things around the home, or wants a reason to put her aside via divorce which does more harm than good.Cos divorce is like smoking or drinking. Once you toll that line, no one will ever be good enough cos you can always divorce em.

By the way , why ain't you sleeping nocturnal?

BlueWizAngel:
I understand d OP sha dis shit can b painful, d story below happened to my friend, I copied what I sent to someone b4 4 advice so it maybe a little wierd but u should get d idea

So I have this friend, that's in a difficult position right now, the thing is he has this girlfriend that he has been dating for almost 2yrs now, but alot has not been right, firstly he got into university and given that the girl has supposedly finished sec. school, he was always pushing her to know when she will right Jamb and apply for the university, she told him she was attending the lesson but one year past and she didn't apply for Jamb he asked her why and she said her mum actually told her to enrol for adult lesson, and she didn't say why, actually she told him she will tell him everything latter but the bro couldn't wait for an extra year to know what's up, well to cut the long story short he started to make plans to break up with her, truthfully not becus of this whole thing but he just wasn't feeling the drive anymore, then somedays back he went to her with the strategy of that same topic, hoping that if she hesitates he will capitalise on it and break up d whole thing, unfortunately the girl opened up, and the thing is according to him she said the reason why she's going to adult lesson and why she has refused to tell him anything, was becus she doesn't know how to read, now my friend couldn't go through with the break up, but he really wants to do it, he just doesn't want to send the message of am breaking up with you becus u don't know how to read

and dis girl tries to speak reasonable english so it was difficult finding out about her shortcomings plus she sends very short text messages once in a while, people like dis know their faults and they work hard to cover their tracks. Plus dey can be annoying in relation to goals and aspirations.

Her going to some adult school means she wants to learn. The best your friend can do to make it easier for her is to enage in her adult lessons, encourage her, get into her world and help her. It won't be easy but once he is not judgy or making her feel inferior she will pick.

Family › Re: My Wife Is Not What I Thought Before We Got Married: I Want To Divorce by klassic(m): 3:04am On Jan 04, 2017*

@Op , the problem is 99% your fault and 1% her fault. You have gradually with your incessant complains and comparative life style eroded any self esteem or self worth she has left.
Now lemme explain a little, I suppose from the begining of the courtship/early marriage , it was not so until you gradually made it so. Remember back those days instead of studying with her and encouraging her , you will rather judge her?.She can't be like you even if she was trying to please you then by trying to be like you, it stopped cos rather than communicate, you want her to live the kinda life you want for her.
The major problem is see here is she is never enough in your sight, she is always inferior no matter what she does, you don't ever appreciate her, encourage her, talk nicely to her inner person or make her feel adequate( her thinking) which you might not know. She is your first daughter as well as your wife. She honestly wanted to be that great woman you will be super proud at the initial stage, but you never really sought her ideal on how she wants to live her life as your co-pilot. You have dictacted the direction of her life either because you are domineering and always feels you know better. It only gets worse. I bet the sex is boring too , cos she is the traditional type and the sex is no longer appealing.
She is at the rebellion stage where she does that which she knows you hate, just to get back at you, make you feel part of what she is feeling or used to feel if she has gotten to the point of I don't care no more.
You have unintentionally in the name of giving her a better life , stripped her of her dignity as a person and this is the only weapon she has left to fight.
From your diction, one could simply infer you are the social type and you ain't proud of her perhaps you married her out of pity cos she sacrificed for you or something , not out of unconditional love or you knew she was like this from the on set but felt since she has the qualities you wanted in a wife , you can always change this aspect with time perhaps when the money starts coming in. Another guess, she was there when you had nothing and she loved you for who you are and your wealth does not move her. She is the churchy traditional wife who believes she must do things the way her mother did and anything trendy is a sin. She looks up to your pastor and the wife as her role model .
You seldomly take her out cos you are afraid she will embarrass you. You are not proud of her enough to showcase her to the world . You want a classy, sexy, brilliant , well read, and perhaps independent woman you will be so proud to showcase to your friends and colleagues at parties , functions, etc.
Truth is you had pure raw gold and you missed it. I don't think it's too late anyway.
I am speaking from experience cos I married an SSCE holder who speaks her mind and I used to feel this way, but I discovered earlier enough I was making a blunder, the day she said" I know I will never be adequate for you, I know you won't show me to your friends cos you think I know nothing and can't even speak good english. Anyway live your life, have girlfriends like you have always done and leave me let me be"
That was when I realised I was her mentor, teacher , and what she becomes I have huge role to play. And ibhave failed her.today I buy her books and if there is a word she can't pronounce she writes it down and when I come back I teach her and we laugh over it. She is better at it now. Learn to teach her . She is your daughter.
You have psychologically conditioned her to live the kind of life you think is best for her and not the kind of life she wants. Hope this ain't happening to the kids too?
Keeps your intellectuals out of this, start from this, buy her a trendy cloth with accessories to match on a Friday or so, have someone baby sit your kids, take her to dinner, then to see some Friday night movies or what ever She used to like back then. Just take her out and don't come back home that night , book a lodge and have a heart to heart talk with her. Apologise to her cos you owe her one, find out how she wants to live her life. If it's the food stuffs, let her start small, help her manage her sales book not by dictating how it should be done, but by advising and playing a supportive role and watch her grow. After all na there money dey now. So use your brain package am for her in a classy way. But with her permission oooooo. Just encourage and play advisory role.
After 6 months to a year , rather than give her the rest of the balance to dev into wholesales,make it look like a loan from a bank. She must always pay back and motivate her. Stop making her wanna try or live your life . Thanks.

Sorry it's long or I took it personal. I once lived the life of another. @Op , if I came out strong , my aplogies , I feel we should tell ourselves the truth. Divorce is not the answer, I have handled several divorce matters and I came from one technically. It only creates a void nothing can ever fill. Cos you will also admits she has a great side other women don't have. When you see a lady with what your wife lacks, she might not have her good side , and then you want someone with her good side again. It's a rat race. Fix this marriage and make it work. After all the good talk, gradually take her shopping as friends and buy some few clothes .Don't over do this cos soon u will complain she dresses like a harlot cos she might over do it just to please you. Be moderate in all. Thanks.

[quote author=Billiondoe post=52498540]Simply give her a certain amount of money so you dnt bother ur self with what she buys in d house or how much she spends on one item....and make her understand that's all she would be getting for the month...you don't have to fight or argue with her...take her to dinner and give her the news like you are on her side, she would be overwhelmed...you are the man!!![/quote

Op this won't work. Stand your ground and make her feel your finances are nose diving. But it will make you lie or avoid discussing financial issues with her.

Currently thanking God. Cos I thought my wife had issues with spending cash I nor sabi say God use am bless me. If I give her 200k this month, she Will only spend on basics and manage the weekly cash I drop. Six months time when I need emergency cash, that money fit done reach 250-300k for me to borrow first cos she nor dey even spend the salaries I pay her. No unnecessary spending and I saw this as not being classy or trendy. As she will rather make her dress than buy and I love her to spend the money, buy some trendy outfit, some good stuff but one na lie. She go rather make couples dress for two and keep the change than buy same for some thousands. Anytime I give her cash, na me come even dey spend am again cos she will save it all over the house. I never really valued it until now.

Politics › Civil War In Buahari's 97% Camp. by klassic(op): 2:18am On Dec 22, 2016

By Ochereome Nnanna

YOU probably know what I mean by Camp 97%. In case you don’t, let me explain. You will recall that soon after he was sworn into office last year, President Muhammadu Buhari paid a state visit to the United States, apparently to thank President Barack Obama, the American State Establishment and Media, for helping him win the 2015 election. Before he returned to Nigeria, he was invited to the United States Institute of Peace, USIP, in Washington DC, where he addressed an audience moderated by the United States Under-Secretary for African Affairs, Johnny Carson. That event turned out to be momentous.
A question by one Dr. Pauline Baker, seeking to know how inclusive his government was going to be, drew out Buhari raw and unedited. After (seemingly) battling to be schooled on the meaning of “inclusive government”, the President said: “I hope you have a copy of the election results. The constituents, for example, (that) gave me 97% (of the vote) cannot in all honesty be treated on some issues with constituencies that gave me 5%.” Forget about the mathematical queerness of this answer. If you have 97% the remaining should be 3% but our President said it was 5%. Fortunately, a person who failed Maths in his School Certificate can hire a thousand Maths professors as President.
It was not until Buhari started constituting the inner parapets of his government – the government before the government – that the meaning of “97%” and “5%” became clear. From the National Security Adviser to the Chief of Staff, to Secretary to the Government of the Federation to Director General of the State Security Services, to Acting National Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and later on, the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, the main anti-graft agency, it was a lineup of his kinsmen and close associates.
Far away from the President’s mind was the principle of Federal Character which the Constitution directs should be formula for sharing public offices to give every section of the country a sense of belonging. Those were the days when the propaganda machine of the new regime was working on high octane. The “New sheriff in town” used his magical “Body language” to raise the value of the Naira against the Dollar, increase the production capacity of our refineries, bring about improved power supply and get looters to return their loots even before Buhari declared the war on graft. All Progressives Congress, APC, loudmouths, Alhaji Lai Mohammed and Garba Shehu, were joined by Femi Adesina (alias Kulikuli) to spin surreal meanings out of Buhari’s every move and non-move.
They told us that Buhari chose Northerners and his kinsmen to fill his kitchen cabinet because they were people he had known all his life and could trust. That a leader who had ruled this country before and been in the federal government for over forty years did not know and could not trust anyone from outside his regional and family circles struck me as extremely odd. But Buhari’s hailers said we should allow him to pick his messianic janissaries of Change, even if all of them came from the same village, as one of them put it. Buhari spent six months putting his cabinet in place, and his hailers said he was being very careful to pick “the best” hands. Nineteen months later, we can see how “best” these people have been with their performances, what with words from the Presidency that, at least, ten of them will be sent home in January 2017.
More importantly, Buhari’s kitchen cabinet is no longer a united cabal. We are used to presidential cabals bunching together to push a shared agenda that is usually associated with the President’s interest with theirs tucked under it. When the late President Umaru Yar’ Adua became terminally sick, his Katsina cabal led by his wife, Turai, ran the show, excluding Vice President Goodluck Jonathan from power. Buhari’s case is unique.
The man, to the best of my knowledge, is hale and hearty. Yet, his kitchen cabinet has not only split into factions, they are fighting dirty. When a leader sits pretty while his “trusted men” fight one another, there is a leadership vacuum. The civil war in Buhari’s Camp 97% was confirmed some weeks ago when the President’s wife, Hajiya Aisha Buhari, raised the alarm that “a few people” had hijacked her husband’s government leaving out those who helped him to power.
She threatened not to support his 2019 ambition unless he did something about it. Buhari perfunctorily dismissed her concerns. Aisha merely confirmed her husband was not in control. What other proof do we need that there is power vacuum other than the saga of Magu’s Senate confirmation as EFCC Chairman?
Magu is the main points-man of Buhari’s touted anti-graft war. Most Nigerians did not smell a rat when the SSS, which is under Buhari’s kinsman, Lawal Daura, usurped EFCC’s job to stage the midnight “sting” operation on some judges, mostly those who have “crossed” the interests of the regime.
Daura and the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, are working together against Magu. Magu’s recent enlistment of Aisha to launch Women Against Corruption, WAC, was a ploy to bring her to his side against the other faction of the cabal. In response, the other faction sent a damaging report against him to the Senate to make sure he was not confirmed as EFCC Chairman. How could these be going on under an effective leader? On which side is President Buhari in this civil war of Camp 97%? Will he side Magu (who is enjoying Aisha’s support) and save his anti-graft war? Or would he settle with the AGF and SSS faction, which appear more interested in furthering his political interests which will ultimately serve theirs? Will Buhari settle for a peace of the graveyard among his kinsmen? And where is Nigeria’s interest in all these? Where is the Change?

Ortega is known for being private. In 2012, Bloomberg noted that he had only granted interviews to three journalists.

He also dresses modestly. He usually wears a simple uniform of a blue blazer, white shirt, and gray pants — none of which are Zara products.

Kate Middleton is a huge fan of Zara's designs and is often photographed in its clothing.
