CrimeHerbalist Scams Diabetes Patient Of N190m Under Guise Of Curing Ailment by mrkunlex(op): 8:04pm On Jan 22, 2018
A self-acclaimed herbalist, Adeniyi Adewunmi, who
allegedly obtained the sum of N190m from a
businessman, under the guise of curing his diabetes,
was on Monday brought before an Igbosere
Magistrates’ Court in Lagos.
A
The accused, Adewunmi, 43, is standing trial on a
four-count charge bordering on conspiracy, fraud and
stealing.
The Prosecutor, Friday Mameh, told the court that the
accused committed the offences between February
2016 and January this year, at Ajao Estate, Oshodi,
Lagos.
“The accused and others still at large approached the
complainant, one Mr Lawrence Akanbi, and told him
that he is suffering from diabetes, asthma and
spiritual attack.
“The complainant believed because he was actually
suffering from the ailments stated by the accused.
“The accused used the opportunity to ask the
complainant for money till the money amounted to
N190m,” Mameh said.
According to the prosecutor, the accused was
arrested by the police when the complainant found
out that his ailments were getting worse.
He said the offences contravened Sections 287, 314
and 411 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
The accused denied the offences.
The Magistrate, Mrs F.O. Botoku, granted him bail in
the sum of N20m, with two sureties in like sum.
She said that the sureties must not be less than
grade level 16 in the Civil Service.
Botoku adjourned the case until Feb. 12 for trial.

PoliticsBenue Youths Prepare For War Against Fulani Herdsmen, Says Their Death Warrant.. by mrkunlex(op): 5:05pm On Jan 21, 2018
Youth groups in the Middle Belt have declared
war on the rampaging Fulani herdsmen,
saying they have signed their death warrant.
The National Council of Tiv Youths, NCTY, and
the Middle Belt Youths Council, MBYC, have
stepped out to defend their region.
In s separate interview with the Punch, the
youths said they will no longer fold their
arms and watch their people being
slaughtered by the cattle herders.
The President of the National Council of Tiv
Youths, Dr. John Akperashi, said his members
had decided to die while making sure further
attacks by the dreaded herdsmen do not
happen.
He said, “The battle line has been drawn. The
youths in the Middle Belt are ready and have
agreed to rise up in unison to reject the
Federal Government time bomb dressed in
white robes.
“The Tiv youths particularly are pushed to the
wall now and have collectively signed their
death warrants, ready to pay the supreme
price if that would count, to sustain and
protect our lands from any form of
colonisation, be it cattle, human or both.”
Also, the President, Middle Belt Youth Council,
who is also the youth leader of the Middle
Belt Forum, Emma Zopmal, noted that by its
inaction, the Federal Government was telling
the Middle Belt youths to resort to self-help.
He said, “We cannot sit and watch this
manslaughter on a daily basis. Life does not
have a duplicate and it should not be allowed
to be wasted needlessly all the time. The
days of mourning will soon be over in the
Middle Belt.
“The Fulani are only 4 .7 million in Nigeria.
How then can they continue being a threat to
the whole nation of more than 160 million
people that are not Fulani? Enough is enough;
we are now poised for war.”

PoliticsAn Important Note To Yoruba Nation by mrkunlex(op): 2:31pm On Jan 21, 2018
KEMGBE ORO !!!!!!!!!! YORUBA RONU!!!!!!!!! Greetings, my dear friends. But ask yourself, did the Igbos put guns on anybody's head before buying up Alaba, Ajegunle, isolo and Oshodi in Lagos. Did they use juju before the Ibadan surrendered Iwo Road to them? And what were we looking at before the Igbos took over Isida and Adeti in Ilesa. Where were the YORUBAS when the Igbos thrived and built 90% of the Hotels at Abuja. Was there a law that excluded the YORUBAS from selling building materials? Dei Dei building materials market in Abuja is 90 % Igbo owned. So the more we point one finger at the Igbos, the more we have the other four fingers pointing at our laziness and lack of initiative as a society. The YORUBAS should have been better with all our education, but we may be worse that the Fulanis who just roam around the bush. Why? Because we lack the entrepreneurship spirit. We just want salaries from doing 8am to 5pm job. We proceed in foolishness and we persist in hoping to reap plenty without showing hard. The Igbos are different, hence we are now jealous and envious. We love wasteful parties and Aso Ebi. Just a little business without even making any profit yet, we usually call musicians to spay money like coffetti . Where are all the Board Members of Ebenezer Obey today? Where is lawyer Omoyinmi and Lanre Badmus? Where is Oroki Social Club of Osogbo? Where is Felates of Ilesa and the likes whose trade mark was to bring Sunny Ade to Ilesa every Xmas, to waste all income gathered for the year? The Yoruba society wasted their leading lights on excessive consumption and wasteful attitudes. We wasted our capital on frivolous social gatherings. We took religion to ridicoulous levels, such that the wealthiest pastors and churches are now Yorubas. But all the wealth extracted by the churches from the Yoruba nation is also merely flaunted to show who's God is the most miraculous. So we have become paupers and destitutes, as the Yoruba nation cannot now pay salaries. Pensions are owed for years. Tell me, is Osun State filled with human beings or goats to have tolerated Aregbesola, when they rejected Akande. Say it loud, is the Constituted Authority of Ibadan sane to just bring about 21 Obas from nowhere to receive salaries, where there is no money to reopen Ladoja Akintola University? Are the Ondos so wise to have allowed Mimiko to devastate their terrain as to be now saddled with 12 months salary arrears? What of Ekiti with rabble rousing Fayose and the intellectually arrogant Fayemi? Even Lagos, there is nothing to write home about it, despite all the hype. But the Igbos are hard workers. Let us not continue to deceive ourselves. 20 of their young boys can live in the shop from where they sell goods. There is no place too dirty or remote for them to hibernate and incubate their ideas. Give them 5 years, you will see them buy and take over all shops and lands. True, some of them are criminals, but majority of the Igbo youths build and build physical structures away, while the YORUBAS are content with looking for salaried jobs, so that they can have siesta in the afternoons and then attend parties on Saturdays. Then spend Sundays in church wishing and praying for divine miracles. How foolish, as the Igbo people are meeting and strategizing on Sunday, so that they can gather money and come and buy the houses and lands owned by our Yoruba fathers. Whether we like it or not, Obokungbusi Town Hall will soon be on concessional PPP sale. The Igbos will buy it. The proceeds will be used to pay backlog of salaries owed to impoverished Ijeshas. It will come willy nilly. It will happen even in a declared Oduduwa Republic. Afterall, the Chinese, the Lebanese and the South Africans are buying us out with reckless abandon. See how ShopRite is buying up everywhere. I heard that they bought Owena Motel estate in Akure. How come we did not sell it to the Igbos? We shall continue to grumble and hate the Igbos until eternity. Unless we spy on them, copy their ways and imbibe their can do attitude. The Yoruba nation and society have been pauperised and destituted. In desperation, we shall soon start to behave like the Almajiris' in the North. In grinding poverty and out of jealousy, the Almajiris of the North regularly loot Igbo shops and businesses. Very soon Yoruba urchins will start looting too to show that they hate the Igbos. Even some of us here will defend it to show our hatred for the Igbos. Whereas, the looting is as a result of hunger and uselessness of our society. How sad for the Yoruba Nation.

PoliticsInteresting Facts About Nigeria That Make It A Great Nation by mrkunlex(op): 11:28am On Jan 19, 2018
1. Africa’s Most Populated Country
Here are some remarkable and interesting facts
about Nigeria that all Nigerian students should know.
With a population of over 160 million people, Nigeria
is Africa’s most populated country, as well as the 8th
most populated in the entire world. This means that
for every seven Africans, one is a Nigerian. Ethiopia is
the next African nation to come close, whose
population count of 84 million is merely about half
that of Nigeria.
2. Over 250 Ethnic Groups
One interesting fact about Nigeria is her multi-
ethnicity. Nigeria boasts of over 250 ethnic groups
and tribes. However, three tribes are the most
dominant, namely, the Igbo that makes up 18% of the
population, the Yoruba that makes up 21% and the
Hausa-Fulani the largest one with 29%.
3. Main Religions are Islam and Christianity
In Nigeria, the main religions are Christianity and
Islam. The country is divided roughly into two
religious organisations, with the south having almost
exclusively Christians, and the north having Muslims.
The Igbo’s found in the southeast are mainly
Christians, while the Hausa-Fulani inhabiting northern
Nigeria are mainly Islams. In addition, southern
Nigeria is more urbanized and westernized when
compared to the north.
4. Derived Name from West Africa’s Longest
River
Nigeria derives her name from river Niger, which is
the largest and longest river in West Africa. The river
covers a distance of about 2,600 miles (4,180 km)
from its source in the Highlands of Guinea, inside
south-eastern Guinea. It follows its course in a
crescent through Niger, Mali, along the border with
Benin, then getting into Nigeria. The river eventually
empties its water into the Atlantic Ocean via the Gulf
of Guinea after passing through a huge delta referred
to as the Niger Delta.
5. One of Human Existence’s Oldest Locations
According to evidence from archaeological sites and
discoveries, Nigeria has a history of human existence
that has been dated back as far as 9000 BC. The Nok
civilization is the earliest civilization in the country,
which took place around 500 BC up to 200 AD.
6. Home of Nollywood – Nigeria’s Movie Industry
Nollywood is a term used to refer to the Nigerian
movie industry. Recently, it has been ranked as the
second largest movie industry in the world, coming
second only to the Indian film industry called
Bollywood, and ahead of America’s Hollywood. Every
single week, about 200 Nollywood movies are
produced, and since 2005, they have won half of the
yearly African awards for best picture.
7. Largest Butterfly Diversity
Nigeria boasts as being the most appropriate habitat
of the largest diversity in the world of butterflies, the
most colourful creatures. The areas that surround
Calabar, Cross River State, located in the country’s
southern region, are widely believed to harbor the
largest diversity of butterflies in the world.
8. Number of Universities in Ogun State
Ogun State is one of the states located in the
western part of Nigeria. It has a total of nine
registered universities, making it the state with the
highest number of such institutions of higher learning
in the country.
9. Africa’s Longest Bridge
Measuring about 11.8 kilometers, the Third Mainland
Bridge in Lagos State is Africa’s longest bridge, and it
connects Lagos Island with the mainland. It begins
from Oworonshoki that is linked to the Lagos-Ibadan
express way and the Apapa-Oshodi express way,
ending at the Adeniji Adele interchange found in
Lagos Island. Midway across the bridge, there is also
a link leading to the Herbert Macaulay Way at Yaba.
This bridge was constructed by Julius Berger Nigeria
PLC, and officially opened in 1990 by the then
President Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida.
10. One of the Largest Producers Of Crude Oil
This seems to be one of the most recognized Nigerian
fact. Nigeria is the world’s 12th largest crude oil
producer and also the 8th largest exporter, producing
on average 2,525,000 barrels daily. The country also
has the 10th largest proven petroleum reserves
worldwide. Oil plays a vital role in the nation’s
economy, contributing to over 85% of the entire
government revenue. This seems to be one of the
most widely recognized Nigerian fact.
11. Nigeria is home to seven percent (7%) of the
total languages spoken on earth.
Nigeria is home to seven percent (7%) of the total
languages spoken on earth. Taraba state alone has
more languages than 30 African countries. The
importance of this fact is appreciated when one
understands that language is the “soul of culture” (as
Ngugi wa Thiongo famously said). It is language that
births the proverbs, riddles, stories and other aspects
of culture that give us identity. UNESCO puts forward
that the world’s languages represents an
extraordinary wealth of creativity. Linguistic diversity
correlates with cultural diversity. This means Nigeria
can look inwards and drive itself to become the
greatest hub for cultural tourism on earth, and
consequently empower its citizens tremendously in
the process.
12. The Walls of Benin (800-1400AD)
The Walls of Benin (800-1400AD), in present day Edo
State, are the longest ancient earthworks in the
world, and probably the largest man-made structure
on earth. They enclose 6500 square kilometers of
community lands that connected about 500
communities. At over 16000km long, it was thought
to be twice the length of the Great Wall of China,
until it was announced in 2012 (after five years of
meticulous measurement by Chinese surveyors) that
the Great Wall is about 21,000km long.
13. The Yoruba tribe has the highest rate of twin
births in the world.
Igbo-Ora, a little town in Oyo state, has been
nicknamed Twin capital of the World because of its
unusually high rate of twins that is put as high as 158
twins per 1000 births. In a video I watched last year
on YouTube presented by Titi (a white lady who
speaks Yoruba), and which was centred on twin
births in Igbo-Ora, one of the locals boasted that
every family in the town has at least one twin!
14. Sarki Muhammad Kanta The Great of Kebbi
Sarki Muhammad Kanta The Great of Kebbi, was the
only ruler who resisted control by Songhai, West
Africa’s greatest empire at that time. He founded and
ruled the Hausa city-state of Kebbi around 1600 A.D
and built Surame its capital, a planned city which was
almost impossible to penetrate during war. In fact
UNESCO describes Surame as “one of the wonders of
human history, creativity and ingenuity”, and probably
the most massive stone-walled constructions in West
Africa. He is listed in Robin Walker’s 50 Greatest
Africans.
15. Nigeria holds Africa’s oldest known boat
The Dufuna canoe which was discovered in Dufuna
village, Yobe state, by a Fulani Herdsman in May
1987, while he dug a well. Various radio-carbon tests
conducted in laboratories of reputable universities in
Europe and America indicate that the canoe is over
8,000 years old, thus making it the oldest in Africa
and 3rd oldest in the world. The discovery of the
canoe has completely changed accepted theories of
the history and sophistication of marine technology in
Africa.
16. Sungbo’s Eredo, a 160 km rampart equipped
with guard houses and moats
Sungbo’s Eredo is reputed to be the largest single pre-
colonial monument (or ancient fortification if you like)
in Africa. It is located in present-day Ijebu-Ode, Ogun
State and when it was built a millennium ago, it
required more earth to be moved during construction
than that used for building the Great Pyramid of Giza
(one of the Seven Wonders of The Ancient World).
The most astonishing thing is that Sungbo’s Eredo
was the biggest city in the world (bigger than Rome
and Cairo) during the Middle Ages when it was built!
17. Sarki Abdullah Burja of Kano (ruled 1438-1452
AD).
Sarki Abdullah Burja was the 18th ruler of Ancient
Kano, created the first Golden Age in Northern Nigeria
and ushered in a period of great prosperity. During his
reign, Hausa became the biggest indigenous language
spoken in Africa after Swahili. He is on the list of 50
Greatest Africans in Robin Walker’s wonderful book,
“When We Ruled”.
18. The Jos Plateau Indigobird.
The Jos Plateau Indigobird a small reddish-brown bird,
is found nowhere else on the planet but Plateau
state, Nigeria.
19. The Anambra waxbill
The Anambra waxbil is a small bird of many beautiful
colours, is found only in Southern Nigeria and
nowhere else on earth.
20. The Niger Delta.
The Niger Delta is the second largest delta on the
planet, has the highest concentration of monotypic
fish families in the world, and is also home to sixty
percent of Nigeria’s mangrove forests. You should
know too that Nigeria’s mangrove forests are the
largest in Africa and third largest on earth.
21. Nigeria is home to 4,715 different types of
plant species
According to the World Resources Institute, Nigeria is
home to 4,715 different types of plant species, and
over 550 species of breeding birds and mammals,
making it one of the most ecologically vibrant places
of the planet.
22. Present day Osun State.
Ile-Ife, in present day Osun State, was paved as
early as 1000AD, with decorations that originated
from Ancient America suggesting there might have
been contact between the Yorubas and the Ancient
Americans half a millenium before Columbus
‘discovered’ America.
