It’s a Political move. MEND is against the present onslaught in the Niger Delta.

I don‘t think he escaped but if he did, it‘s a plan work with the Federal Govt for Okah to go and infiltrate the Avengers and other Niger Delta Millitants to get info for the Fed govt for his freedom later. That’s the plan but i dont blieve he escaped

All these stories from cheap blogs changes nothing, even the bible itself states that in the last days their shall be antichrists in sheep clothing that would decieve the very elite.

It is a know fact that LUCKY IGBINEDION TENURE was the worst in edo with looting on massive scale. And one of the top 3 in nigeria's history by govs at that time.

It was so massive that luck himself admitted it and tryed to push the blame to tony anenih who he claimed he was remitting edo money to.

Ize iyamu was more active than mike ogiadome in that tenure, as it was him lucky saw as a bro and distanct relation.

99% of every scam lucky did was signed by the ize iyamu.

He tried to exonorate himself at a rally when he was in apc that the past was past.
If edo allows iyamu live instead of stoning him that should be enough but no he wants to be gov.

If he had any integrity why didnt he resign then for gross incompetence.

He fell out with anenih and couldnt stand not been picked during the osubor time. He went to apc thinking he could get respect but adams respects no man. He switched back to pdp and has been contraditing his selfish self.
If indeed he has no questionable character what is the need of paying blogs and people to pacify their views on who you truly are.

Ize iyamu cannot run away from his shadows and the tag of LUCKY IGBINEDION STOOGE AND BIDDER remains intact

MrDojo:
Good day everyone, who else among the guys here on NL has experienced this..?!

For the past 6yrs that I've been on the dating scene, I've experienced a lot of misses rather than hits in my dating game, this is not due to the fact I lacked the looks, charm, smarts etc. I noticed a scenario that always repeated itself, which was when ever I approached a girl, we would click instantly, she would flash all the green lights flashable, we would have a lot in common & get along really well, then whenever I finally ask her for us to be "exculsive".... The horror film begins...

They never tell me No or a yes.. I'm not friendzoned neither am I in the dating zone, I more than a friend to her but less than a BF, when I ask them why they can't give me an answer, they give all manner of reasons such as; you are too good for me, I like you a lot but I don't love, let's be more than friends but I can't date you ( WTF ), I don't know what I feel towards you...let's keep what we have....and blah blah blah...


Most times I give them time to sort out their feelings coming back again to ask hoping to get a good answer but their emotions are still in a state of flux.. I'll give up and move on ( when I move on I move on totally no looking back grin), only for this ladies who seemly had nothing for me to come back (vengeful) when they see me hooking up with another chick, then they start all manner of theatrics....then I begin to wonder is it not the same girl who had "Nothing" for me...

This scenario as played out more than 5 times with me... I'll like to know if other guys here have experienced this or are also experiencing this....

Sorry for the long essay.. cheesy



the problem you have is dat you do the #asking out thing#,....it totally wrong from my point of view
Do not ask them out, rather get very intimate with dem and things would naturally fall into place..

times have really changed when it come to cultism.

my humble advice to stay alive are

1} RESPECT EVERY BODY,EVEN A MINOR (these young cult guys have no chill,they can kill even for a trivial issue)
2} DO NOT HAVE CULTIST AS FRIENDS,ROOMATES ETC
3} BE AT THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME.(ask God to guide your steps)
4}MAINTAIN A VERY HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS
5}RENOUNCE CULTISM AND GIVE YOUR LIFE *FULLY* TO CHRIST (for the cultist)

feel free to add yours...

Food / Re: Barber Drinks To Death In Lagos Over N10,000 by level10: 6:35pm On May 21, 2016
tocineworld:
Thursday, May 12, 2016, started like any other day for Prosper Oyinfade, a 34-year-old native of Abeokuta, Ogun State. A professional barber and part-time bodyguard at social events and major night clubs within the Lagos metropolis, the young man worked tirelessly to support his small family – a wife and two sons. Waking up very early each morning in search of ‘bread’ for the entire household, the Abeokuta native barely enjoys maximum sleep as a result of his workaholic nature. The upkeep and survival of his family occupied a prime position on his mind.

Oyinfade had headed for the gym that fateful morning to refresh his muscles and keep fit ahead of a job the next day at an annual show in the Ikosi area of Ketu, a suburb within the metropolis. He remained at the gym with fellow ‘bouncers’ till late in the afternoon when he went home to relax before later heading for his salon to attend to customers and supervise his apprentice, Emmanuel, who had been there all alone. This was only four days after he had resolved a protracted personal issue with his wife. The couple had been temporarily separated for some time after losing their accommodation owing to financial difficulties. The lady and their two children had been living with her mother at the Ibafo area of Ogun State for some time as a result while the 34-year-old managed with a friend at the Mile 12 area of Lagos. So, making peace with his wife and best friend of many years earlier that week left Oyinfade extremely happy. Apart from dancing vigorously in front of his salon that Thursday evening, the Ogun native treated himself to a bottle of a popular alcoholic mixture. It was compensation for all the emotional pains he had passed through while the crisis lasted. But just when the ‘groove’ was garnering momentum, tragedy struck. Life has not been the same for the entire household.



“Everything happened like a movie,” Emmanuel, Oyinfade’s apprentice, recalled during a chat with our correspondent earlier in the week. “My boss arrived shop that evening looking unusually happy, there was no reason to suspect that danger was lurking around the corner. He sent me to buy food for him before later asking me to go buy him a bottle of a particular alcoholic mixture at a nearby shop. He was alone in front of the shop and was dancing happily as he took the drink.

“Later, some of his friends joined in the celebration and in the process, one of them challenged him to a bet. He dared him to finish 10 bottles of the drink and that if he did that, he was going to reward him. My boss took up the challenge and for the next hour, I was sent to buy a new bottle of that drink almost every five minutes. The other guys were also drinking but my boss was on a different level. Before we knew what was happening, he had taken over five bottles. I was afraid but could do nothing to stop him. It was until he attempted to shake a friend that we realised the damage the drink had done to him,” the young apprentice said.

The heavily-built 34-year-old crashed to the ground three different times as he made moves to shake a friend. He had completely lost control of himself and could hardly stand without support. He was subsequently carried by the people around and laid on the floor inside the compound housing his salon. The huge volume of alcohol in his system had totally immobilised and grounded him. Left in the open, on bare floor till the following day, his defences had been dealt a crushing blow. He was in a precarious situation.

“When I arrived home that night, my elder sister told me that somebody was sleeping on the floor outside and that she didn’t know who it was,” Bimbo, a neighbour to Oyinfade, told Saturday PUNCH. “When I got close, I realised it was Prosper, he had vomited all over his face and body and was even inhaling the vomit. I ran out to get help and some of his friends came with me to wash his face with water and also change his sleeping position. One of them said that since he had vomited, he would feel better. I couldn’t sleep that night; I had to keep watch over him. At about 4:00am, I noticed that his breathing changed. We had to rush him to the hospital by dawn but he was rejected at the two places we took him to,” she said.

Confused and now under pressure, Oyinfade’s elder sibling, Taiwo, who had been called over to the area where he stayed and worked, together with few sympathisers hired a vehicle to take him to a government-owned hospital at the Ikorodu area of the city in a desperate attempt to save his life. At this point, his condition had degenerated so badly that only a miracle could keep him alive. Time was running out. The odds weren’t looking good.

“I was constantly communicating with Prosper’s elder brother since I didn’t accompany them to the hospital at Ikorodu,” Dotun, a colleague at the gym where the 34-year-old kept fit, told our correspondent. “Initially he told me that the doctors were attending to him and that everything would soon be fine. After about 30 minutes, I called back again and he gave the same report. Some of us at the gym felt relieved at that point, believing that he was getting better. But 30 minutes later, the man called back to break the news of his death to us. It was a huge shock to many of us.

“The body, after being rejected at the hospital’s mortuary in Ikorodu, was brought back to a church opposite his shop at Mile 12. As at 1:00pm, the corpse was still lying on the floor within the premises. The brother was confused; he didn’t know what to do. We had to contribute about N11, 000 for him to take the body to Abeokuta.

“Prosper was an easy-going person who usually attended a special service in church every Thursday evening. I cannot tell why he didn’t go on this particular day and instead engaged in a drinking bet. I don’t know why he had to end his life like this,” Dotun said.

Though, full of life and bubbling with plans for the future, Oyinfade perhaps had an inkling of the calamity that was about to befall him. Apart from acting unusually in the days leading to his death, close associates told Saturday PUNCH that more than a few things about him took a different dimension during the period. He became a completely different person at the time.

“That Thursday, just before the incident happened, Prosper, I was told, played music loudly in his shop and danced like he had never done before,” Dotun revealed. “Even three days before that time, some guys at the gym jokingly told him that he should pray for death to be far away from him. They even sang a sorrowful song for him and poured sand on his body. Nobody expected that three days later, what appeared like a joke would come to pass.

“In fact, some days before his death, his dressing suddenly changed. He began to look extra-ordinarily good and different, as if he knew he might never have the chance to do so. We are indeed pained by his death,” he said.

According to findings by our correspondent, Oyinfade and his friend had staked N10, 000 each for the bizarre bet that would later end his life. The victim is known to have engaged in other forms of crazy bets and so saw the latest one as nothing compared to obstacles he had conquered in the past. A bottle of the herbal beverage he took which costs N350 each, contains 43 per cent alcohol volume.

A medical doctor, Lanre Adedeji, says consuming excessive alcohol at a time, especially five bottles containing 43 per cent concentration each, is capable of not only damaging the liver and causing nervous breakdown, but also leading to heart attack resulting in death eventually.

But the young father of two putting the economic benefits above the harm the drinks could do to him, paid the ultimate price for engaging in such risky gamble. His death leaves the Oyinfade family burying another child after the loss of two others in the past. The household is now left with Taiwo and Idowu.

“Our mother is heartbroken by the news. She hasn’t stopped crying ever since she was told. The wound created by the loss of two of my siblings in the past had yet to be fully healed when death now took Prosper away as well. The entire family is indeed devastated by the incident,” Taiwo, the victim’s eldest surviving sibling, told our correspondent amid tears.

But shocking and crazy as it sounds, engaging in bizarre forms of bets such as downing huge volumes of alcohol, have become a rising trend across the country in recent times. While some players of such dangerous gambles have managed to escape with minimal damage, for the majority, such attempts have often ended in death, throwing their families and friends into an endless season of mourning.

In May 2015 for example, a security man, simply identified as Thompson, lost his life after drinking a bottle of a popular alcoholic drink after smoking five sticks of cigarettes in two minutes during a bet with a friend.

The incident, which happened in the Agege area of Lagos, left many shocked to their marrows. The victim’s competitor would have paid for everything he consumed if he had won the bet.

“I tried to stop him but he drank it in less than two minutes, smoked two sticks of cigarettes and decided to leave. His competitor called him back to smoke the remaining three. As soon as he finished the fifth stick, he became uncomfortable, staggering, sweating profusely and breathing heavily as he walked away. He vomited several times and later died at about 8:00pm in his room,” Earnest Joseph, a friend of the deceased, said.

Two months later in July 2015, a middle-aged man from Imo State identified as Chucks, died after consuming 20 sachets of an alcoholic drink in a N500 bet with a shop owner.

The deceased, said to be a barber, was married with a child and lived along Ngwa Road area of Aba, Abia State, at the time of the incident.

Similarly, in October 2015, a 25-year-old man, Ahmed Aderisekola, reportedly died in the Marina area of Lagos after consuming 16 bottles of a popular brand of dry gin during a bet with a friend. Whoever could consume the highest number was going to be handed a financial reward the two had agreed upon. In the race to clinch the prize, Aderisekola, determined and desperate, slumped and died shortly after emptying the 16th bottle. He had overstretched his resolve and staying power. Rather than clinch it, he paid the prize.

Interestingly, the phenomenon, disturbing as it is, is not limited to Nigeria – it is a trend that continues to record patronage in other parts of the world, too.

Psychologist, Festus Oniwonlu, explains that engaging in bizarre and dangerous forms of betting could have dire consequences for the mental and general well being of a person.

According to him, the desperation to meet up with the expectations of such contests could result in anxiety which in turn could lead to a host of psychological problems including depression and incoherence.

Sociologist, Damiete George, told Saturday PUNCH that except factors pushing individuals to engage in bets capable of claiming their lives were addressed, the trend might continue to be on the increase across the country.

“The underlying factor fuelling such insane bets is usually poverty and the deprivation it subjects people to. If you look at it critically, you’ll realise that these guys don’t really enjoy consuming all that alcohol, they only do it because of the gains attached to such bets which, in my opinion, isn’t worth the risk, torture and trauma they subject themselves to.

“Our society as it is has made survival very difficult for majority of her citizens and so any little avenue to get food on the table, people rush at it without necessarily minding the risk. But if issues fuelling hunger and extreme deprivation can be critically addressed, not many people would want to risk their lives for paltry rewards by engaging in bets that can claim their lives,” he said.

Oyinfade, the latest victim of this disturbing phenomenon, has since been buried in his native Abeokuta. His young wife and two little sons must continue their journey without him. It is a sad tale for the entire household.
