Romance / What Was Tupac Shakur Like In Real Life? by RealityKings: 6:10am On May 21, 2022
By all accounts he was a very complicated person, people would use the word 'duality' or 'contradiction' to describe him. People who know a lot about him would often agree that he went through so many changes in his life.

"Everybody’s at war with different things. I’m at war with my own heart sometimes"

He was dirt poor growing up, yet innocent, active in the arts, poetic, and he changed when he became famous. He was exposed to the dark side of fame, and the negative attention from authorities who probably didnt like the fact that he had so much influence over the masses.. but there seemed to be a change in his personality over time. You can even sense this as his music evolved.

“I had no record all my life, no police record until I made a record. As my video was debuting on MTV, I was behind bars getting beat up by the police department.”

Outgoing/Social

He was known to be able to fit in to any type of crowd, whether it would be the upperclass elite of hollywood, or people he grew up with in poverty stricken areas. He was able to command any crowd, and he was respected (not by all) because his lyrics were real and not a facade.

Hardworking/Motivated

We know from his body of work (songs, poetry, movies) that his work ethic was incredible. Was it because of his desire to work his way out of poverty or because he predicted an early death? who really knows.

"Now that I'm strugglin in this business, by any means
Label me greedy gettin green, but seldom seen
And f*ck the world cause I'm cursed, I'm havin visions
of leaving here in a hearse"

"I admire work ethic, I think it should be re-inforced throughout our neigbourhoods, that everybody should work hard, practice makes perfect, you have to be diligent with what you want, you have to apply your self, you have to motivate your self."

Funny/Comical Personality

Just from watching interviews, or people who knew him being interviewed, you can tell he was a very funny person. He's like that one friend we all have that acts crazy/loud/obnoxious to put a smile on our face.

1stGenAmerican:
It’s hard to believe his aide was committing fraud in 2021 without him knowing.


Abiodun’ aide Rufai on the US Department of Justice’s official document:

https://www.justice.gov/usao-wdwa/press-release/file/1398536/download

Nigerian national indicted for conspiracy, wire fraud and aggravated identity theft for fraud on Employment Security benefits

Defendant detained on criminal complaint in New York now facing additional charges handed up by federal grand jury

[b] A Nigerian citizen arrested May 14, 2021 at JFK Airport in New York, is now indicted for conspiracy, wire fraud and aggravated identity theft for his scheme to steal over $350,000 in unemployment benefits from the Washington State Employment Security Department, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Tessa M. Gorman. Abidemi Rufai, aka Sandy Tang, 42, of Lekki, Nigeria, remains detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York. Prosecutors have asked U.S. District Judge Benjamin Settle to order Rufai detained and transported to the Western District of Washington for arraignment on the indictment.

Rufai is now charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, nine counts of wire fraud and five counts of aggravated identity theft.

The indictment alleges that Rufai used the stolen identities of more than 100 Washington residents to file fraudulent claims with ESD for pandemic-related unemployment benefits. Rufai also filed fraudulent unemployment claims with Hawaii, Wyoming, Massachusetts, Montana, New York, and Pennsylvania. Rufai used variations of a single e-mail address in a manner intended to evade automatic detection by fraud systems. By using this practice, Rufai made it appear that each claim was connected with a different email account.

Rufai caused the fraud proceeds to be paid out to online payment accounts such as ‘Green Dot’ accounts, or wired to bank accounts controlled by “money mules.” Some of the proceeds were then mailed to the Jamaica, New York address of Rufai’s brother. Rufai was residing at his brother’s home during part of the period of the fraud. Law enforcement determined more than $288,000 was deposited into an American bank account controlled by Rufai between March and August 2020.

Conspiracy to commit wire fraud and wire fraud are punishable by up to thirty years in prison when the offense relates to benefits paid in connection with a presidentially-declared disaster or emergency, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Aggravated identity theft is punishable by a mandatory minimum two year sentence to run consecutive to any sentence imposed on the other counts of conviction.

The charges contained in the indictment are only allegations. A person is presumed innocent unless and until he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

This case was investigated by the FBI, with assistance from the Department of Labor Office of Inspector General (DOL-OIG). The fraud on ESD is being investigated cooperatively by the FBI, DOL-OIG, Social Security Office of Inspector General, U.S. Secret Service, the United States Postal Inspection Service, and the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigations. The Washington Employment Security Department is cooperating in the investigation.

The cases are being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Seth Wilkinson, Cindy Chang, and Benjamin Diggs of the Western District of Washington, and Trial Attorney Jane Lee of DOJ’s Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section

TV/Movies / Re: Prime-time Africa, Soundcity Or Nigezie: by RealityKings: 11:39am On May 18, 2022
Padipadi:
All of them. I just opened this thread to reminisce on the good old days.
Prime Time Africa, Kenny Ogungbe (Keke) & Dayo Adeneye (D1).
There ID Ogungbe too. Learnt they splitted in 2011 cos of an unfavorable money deal involving MTN.
They were formerly AIT Jamz in the mid 90s Jenni's Music and then Prime Time.
Remedies (Eddy Montana & Eedris Abdul Kareem), Tony Tetuila, 2Face are their products.

I won't forget Soundcity with that fine girl with braces in her teeth called Yeencah. I no too watch Nigezie cos it came during Indomie Generation Era. Same with Soundcity but Soundcity came earlier than Nigezie.

I salute you sir

[s]This type of your advice dey kill person and millions of people would follow it.

If you want to succeed in life business relationship and find happiness look at what everyone else is doing AND DO THE OPPOSITE.

HERE IS WHY.

1% SUPER RICH
7% AFFLUENCE
20% GETTING BY
75% POOR AND BROKE.
This is the pyramid of life.
Take any population all the pastors, politician, business men nairalanders class mates medical school marriage relationship any population sort itself into a pyramid.

You have to ask yourself some questions if it's pertaining marriage money family or relationship. Here's it.

What are the 1% doing that make them get there and what are the 79% doing that get them there.

If you're sincere with yourself and answer that question every thing will change for you garantee.

As for loneliness if you are not happy with yourself now and get things going for you expecting a child a husband a friend people around to make you happy is a big GAMBLE.

and one can't live his life on gambling.
You have to take responsibility for your own happiness this is a sad reality and I so much resent it but it's the truth.

If you want control over situation in your life you must accept responsibility 100%.[/s]
