Nairaland / General / UK Gatekeeper, Emdee Tiamiyu Arrested For Alleged Fraud, Faked Asylum Claim by osamabarack1(m): 10:32pm On Mar 22
By Abraham Olayinka

In a shocking turn of events, Emdee Tiamiyu, a Nigeria YouTuber and well-known gatekeeper in the UK, has been arrested by the UK government for allegedly defrauding the system. Tiamiyu gained widespread attention after a viral video of him circulated online, leading him to file for asylum in the UK.

He has allegedly been arrested in the UK and is set to be sentenced to 10 years imprisonment for defrauding the UK government to the tone of over £160k.

However, it is now alleged that he deceitfully collected funds from the UK government and returned to Nigeria to build a lavish mansion in Ogun state.

The Sparklightnews report, Tiamiyu’s asylum claim was based on the attention garnered from the viral video, which depicted him in a sympathetic light. After receiving financial assistance from the UK government of £160k, Tiamiyu purportedly used a portion of the funds to construct a luxurious mansion for himself in Ogun state, Nigeria.

According to a statement issued on Sunday by Femi Babafemi, Director of Media & Advocacy, he said, "A multi-million-naira mansion located at K-5A/2 Road 14, Victoria Garden City (VGC) estate, Lekki area of Lagos used as clandestine laboratory for the production of methamphetamine by a convicted drug baron, Okenwa Chris Nzewi, has been forfeited to the Federal Government following his successful prosecution and conviction in court by NDLEA.

Okenwa was arrested along with his associate, Sunny Okeh Ukah on 30th July 2022 and subsequently arraigned on four counts in charge number FHC/L/527C/2022 at the Federal High Court, Lagos. They both pleaded guilty on 17th July, 2023, while they were convicted and sentenced to four and three years imprisonment each with an option of fine of four million (N4,000,000) naira and three million (N3,000,000) naira respectively in addition to community service for four and three weeks each.

Education / UI Students Flee Off-campus Hostels As Armed Robbers Kill One by osamabarack1(m): 4:35pm On Jan 10, 2022
Palpable fear has gripped students of the University of Ibadan who live in off-campus hostels, as armed robbers struck again on Saturday, shooting to death an Okada rider in the area.

This is coming after some armed robbers had reportedly shot two persons at an off-campus at Agbowo community, Batika and Agricola streets in the early hours of last Wednesday, carting away the students’ gadgets and belongings.


Some of the students on Sunday recounted how they were traumatised by the early morning invasion which forced some of the students to flee the area again.

One of the students, who identified himself as Gabriel, said he and his colleagues at his hostel could not sleep all through the night as they heard gunshots for hours.

Narrating how the incident happened, he said the Okada rider was riding with a passenger and the hoodlums stopped him at the junction before the UI second gate and attempted to collect his motorcycle.

He said, “The okada rider did not want them to take away the motorcycle and as that was going on the passenger jumped off and fled the scene. Sensing that the okada rider’s resistance might put them in danger, one of them brought out a gun and shot him.”

Another resident of the area who declined to give his name said he and his mates did not sleep at all through the night because of gunshots.

He said, “The killing happened about 8:05 pm and we all rushed inside. But shortly after that, we heard a siren and gunshots which we believed should be from security agents.”

Crime / Shock As ‘female Prisoner’ Is Discovered To Actually Be A Male (photo) by osamabarack1(m): 3:57pm On Oct 18, 2021
Shock as ‘female prisoner’ is discovered to actually be a male

A shocking event has happened at Shurugwi Female Prison last week when a man pretending to be a female prisoner was discovered.



The man identified as Praise Mpofu is 22 years old and was putting on a woman’s cloth when he was arrested. Praise is known for dressing as a woman to lure male clients who he would steal from.

His arrest came after he allegedly stole from a man at Gweru’s Mkoba 6 suburb. The man paid him as a female commercial sex worker, but later discovered that Praise is a man as he stole from the man and ran away.

Praise got apprehended by the police operatives at Mkoba 6. However, he was dressed as a woman, with a female hairstyle and also a stuffed bra.



While at the Gweru Magistrate’s Court, he did not disclose that he was actually man, this made the magistrate to send him to Shurugwi Female Prison.


Due to logistical issues, he wasn’t transferred to the female prison but was temporarily detained at the Gweru Young Offenders Prison where he was housed with juvenile female offenders for two days.

He ran out of luck after he was taken to Shurugwi Female Prison.

Midland Prisons spokesperson Nevson Tagarira who confirmed the incident, told Masvingo Mirror;

“Yes, there was an inmate who came from ZRP through the magistrate’s court pretending to be a female. It was only identified at Shurugwi Female Prisons through our normal channels on admission that he was actually a male inmate, not a female as he was pretending to be. Mpofu was taken from Shurugwi female prison to Hwahwa Maximum Prison on the same day.”

A female nurse who is responsible for searching all new prisoners, is said to have discovered that the new prisoner was actually male. Another source told the publication;

“Mpofu spend two days at Gweru Young Offenders prison where he did not divulge that he was a male and he was treated as a female. The matter came to light when he was to be detained at Shurugwi Female Prison that he was not a female. One could not figure out that Mpofu is a male he had a nice hairstyle, breasts and he was wearing a skirt just like a lady. Mpofu was arrested after he stole from a man who had hired him as a prostitute, Mpofu stole money and fled before he fulfilled the duties he was hired for

Religion / Open Heavens Daily Devotional For Monday By Pastor Adeboye by osamabarack1(m): 10:20pm On Oct 17, 2021
OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL
DATE: MONDAY 18TH OCTOBER 2021.
THEME: GLORY BELONGS TO GOD.
MEMORISE:
I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King. Isaiah 43:15
READ: Daniel 4:30-37
30 The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?
31 While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.
32 And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
33 The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws.
34 And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:
35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?
36 At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me.
37 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.
MESSAGE:
Seven years after Nebuchadnezzar was deposed from his throne and disgraced to the point of eating grass like an ox, he realized that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men. Nebuchadnezzar had erroneously thought that he became great by the “might of his power” (Daniel 4:30), but later realized that it was God who made him great. Many people commit this same error today by proclaiming that their success came by “dint of hard work”. Beloved, what is it that a man has that he did not receive (1 Corinthians 4:7)? Any achievement that will not lead us back to the original Achiever- the Almighty God, is deadly.
The Bible warns against being boastful without giving glory to God, in James 4:13-15:
“Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.”
It is the Almighty God who has the power to will and to do because He is Sovereign. It is an abominable thing in the sight of the Sovereign God for anyone to boast of not only what he has achieved as though it were by his ability, but even what he could do in the future. James 4:16 says “But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.”
We should never ascribe to ourselves the glory due to God as King Herod did. All he had to do was redirect the glory of God but he failed to do so and this cost him his life, as we see in Acts 12:21-23:
“And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.”
Glory belongs to God. Make it a habit to return all glory to God always and He will keep promoting you, in the mighy name of Jesus.
ACTION POINT:
Are there times you have ascribed God’s glory to yourself? Repent now and return all glory to Him.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Chronicles 6-10.
AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE
HYMN 1: ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS NAME.
1. All hail the pow’r of Jesus’ Name!
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all!
2. Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race,
Ye ransomed from the fall,
Hail Him Who saves you by His grace,
And crown Him Lord of all!
3. Let every kindred, every tribe,
On this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe,
And crown Him Lord of all!
4. Oh, that with yonder sacred throng
We at His feet may fall!
We’ll join the everlasting song,
And crown Him Lord of all!

Sucking Breast Gives Wisdom And Long Life– Captain Smart To Men



Captain Smart is advising men to take breast sucking serious because it gives something more than sexual satisfaction.

According to the findings of Captain Smart, sucking breasts gives life and wisdom to men. The Onua TV presenter disclosed this on his show when he advised men to suck the breast of women every morning.


“Every man who sucks breast has a sound, healthy and deep-thinking mind,” he said in a video seen pulse.com.gh. According to the outspoken TV presenter, sucking breast prolongs life.



“I swear to God when you suck breast every morning God adds a year to your life,” he added. Accordingly, Captain Smart advised men to take this life-prolonging measure every morning.



“So when you wake every morning, suck breast,” he said. However, Pulse.com.gh can not verify this claim.

15-year-old student commits suicide after being caught by mother having s3x with a 14-year-old girl

A Form One student from Chitungizwa in Zimbabwe has killed himself after his mum caught him having sex with a 14-year-old girl.



It was gathered that he had a misunderstanding with his mum after she saw him in the act.

The boy identified as Godfrey Chipare was found hanging on a roofing beam by the toilet side at his cousin’s house in Unit A yesterday, October 15.

Samantha Chipare who is his cousin said that she’s surprised to hear the ugly news and she was the last person to talk to him before he killed himself. Samantha also revealed that Godfrey came to their house after quarreling with his mother.

She added that he promised to go back home but never did and they didn’t know where he spent the day, but only saw him later in the evening when he returned.


According to Samantha, they didn’t ask him where he went to and the last time she saw him alive was when she woke him up from sleep to get ready for school.

She also stated that his dead body was seen by her mother and she had no idea Godfrey was going to commit suicide. According to what the neighbors told her, he had been looking for vegetable pesticides before hanging himself.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL
DATE: SUNDAY 17TH OCTOBER 2021.
THEME: THE UNCHANGEABLE CHANGER.
MEMORISE:
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Hebrews 13:8
READ: Genesis 32:24-32
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.
MESSAGE:
One thing every child of God must always remember is that our Father is the ‘Unchangeable Changer’. In Genesis we read how God changed a chaotic situation to peaceful and orderly universe. The Unchangeable Changer effected the changes without Himself being changed.
“And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” Genesis 1:2-3
The Almighty God- the Unchangeable Changer, changed the unfruitful situation of Sarah to fruitfulness (Genesis 21). He did the same thing for Hannah (1 Samuel 2) and turned Jacob’s life around for good by changing his name to Israel, as recorded in our Bible reading of today. This clearly proves that what God did in the life of the father of faith (Abraham) He could do in the life of his descendants also. This is why I know that you will encounter this Great Changer who does not change. As He did for those who sought and called Him in the past, so will He do for you today, in the mighty name of Jesus.
Sometime ago, a certain young man who was afflicted with the spirit of madness asked his relatives to bring him to the Redemption Camp, he was delivered completely, even before anybody could pray for him. I also recall the case of a highly educated who was unable to get a job in spite of his qualifications. He surrendered his life to Jesus and er prayed a simple prayer for him. Before he got home that day, three employment offers were waiting for him. The Unchangeable Changer changed his hopeless situation and he began to sing a new song.
I have good news for you: Jesus Christ never changes; if He did it before, He can certainly do it again. As the Lord was performing miracles during His earthly ministry, so is He still doing today. Beloved, put your trust in Him and He will not let you down because He is the Unchangeable Changer. If you would only call on Him now, He would change your situation for the better in the mighty name of Jesus.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, please change my situation for the better from today, in the mighty name of Jesus.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Chronicles 1-5.

HYMN 16: O GOD OUR HELP IN AGES PAST.
1. O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.
2. Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.
3. Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.
4. Thy Word commands our flesh to dust,
“Return, ye sons of men”:
All nations rose from earth at first,
And turn to earth again.
5. A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
6. The busy tribes of flesh and blood,
With all their lives and cares,
Are carried downwards by the flood,
And lost in foll’wing years.
7. Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly, forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the op’ning day.
8. Like flow’ry fields the nations stand
Pleased with the morning light;
The flow’rs beneath the mower’s hand
Lie with’ring ere ’tis night.
9. O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while troubles last,
And our eternal home.

Celebrities / I’ve Been Getting Death Threats From “no Caller Ids-bbnaija Angel Cries (photos) by osamabarack1(m): 6:40pm On Oct 16, 2021
I’ve been getting death threats from “no caller ids” – BBNaija star, Angel cries out over alleged death threat from her colleagues’ fans

BBNaija season 6 finalist, Angel has taken to her Twitter page to disclose that she has been getting death threats from her colleagues’ fans.



According to her, she is being threatened over her relationship with some of her male colleagues.

She wrote,

“I’m not a messy person at all, especially in real life, I like my space and I like to avoid confrontation but this is me putting it out there that I’ve been getting death threats from “no caller ids” regarding my “relationship status”.

I’ve stated time and time again, that I am single and frankly I promise I will not be chasing anything that will take away my peace. Please stop calling me to threaten me because of my affiliation with your “fave”. I am single. Thank you. I will also like to state that you can not dictate who I choose to be friends with, I have no intention of stealing your fave from whoever.

Please leave me out of whatever enmity is trying to be formed. I am only focused on my brand. I’m too content within myself to be out here dragging anyone’s “man”. All I’ve ever needed is myself and I can do very well by myself. Thank you.”

Politics / I’ll Run For President If God And Nigerians Say I Should – Pastor Tunde Bakare by osamabarack1(m): 11:57pm On Oct 15, 2021
I’ll run for president if God and Nigerians say I should – Pastor Tunde Bakare

The founder of Citadel Global Community Church (formerly known as Latter Rain Assembly), Pastor Tunde Bakare, has revealed that he could run for the 2023 presidential elections.


He made this known today, after a private meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Recall that in 2011, he was the running mate of Buhari on the platform of the Congress for Progressive Change.

Bakare told the State House Correspondents that his visit was to “dispense what was in my heart” to the President.

Asked whether he would contest the 2023 presidential election, he said he would, only if ‘God’ and ‘Nigerians’ want him to.


Bakare said;

“Every Nigerian, who is of age and who is not disqualified by any means, is free. I’m a nation builder, if God wants me to do that, and the people of Nigeria will appreciate that, why not? I’m as free as anybody to do anything with my time. I’ve pastored a church for 33 years, now we raise new leaders. I want to focus on nation-building.

“The Office of the President is only one office, there are so many other things we can do as people to support whoever is there to make sure that we do not go into retrogression, but begin to make steady progress as a people. I’ve already communicated clearly, my future plans to Mr. President, and it stays between us.”

On power rotation, Bakare stated,

“I had said it on October 3. It’s our immaturity, politically and otherwise, that makes us say power must either be in the North or be in the South, instead of looking for the best, the fittest, the most competent, and people of character, who love this nation.

“Listen to me, if where the president comes from will make the place he has come from to be better, the northern part of Nigeria should be the richest and should be the most progressive and the most developed because out of 61 years, the north has produced either the president or heads of state for 40 to 41 years, and yet see the retrogression in the North.

“If it’s from the South, why should a person like President Obasanjo freeze and seize the account of Lagos State in his own tenure? If it’s from South-South or South-East why couldn’t President Jonathan use all his powers to develop South-South/South-East?

“Not where they come from, it’s what they carry and what they have to offer. May the best of the best of Nigerians rise, whether they’re from the east, from the west, from the north, and from the south.

“If there are agreements between politicians among themselves on rotation, a bargain is a bargain. That’s between them. But as far as this country is concerned, what we need at this stage is a man who can drive us to the Eldorado.”

I'm sorry to say this but I think his family lacks wisdom, do they think that the same fate does not await Pero? families should learn to settle disputes and not add fire to it,they think they are helping 2face now but the truth is they are destroying him.True wisdom is really scarce. A lot need to be considered before getting into marriage with anyone, check how his or her parents relate,how organised the family is and how kids brought up in that family behaves.Stop marrying for bedmatic skills, time shall come when waste pain will take over that man's bedmatic skills,what then will you be left with? Please think well before going into marriage.


wisdom will not kill you boss
