A slay queen has been traced to her home, by her vendor friend after sending her a fake transfer of 65k.

Looks like the culprit has been into this game of fake transfer for a long time now, she was also pleading with the vendor lady not to raise her voice.

Dear vendors, please be careful when receiving bank transfers from people.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) has pledged its readiness to support the Cross River National Park for effective protection and preservation of its biodiversity.

The UNESCO also pledged to empower residents of the host communities with a view to preventing illegal logging ongoing around the park.
Mrs Audrey Azoulay, the Director-General of UNESCO, gave the assurance on Sunday when she visited the park in Akamkpa, Cross River.
Azoulay, who took a walk around the park with other officials, said she was on a working visit to the park as part of the National Biosphere meeting scheduled to hold in Abuja on Sept. 13, 2021.

She said that the visit was to also ascertain the fight against climate change and to protect the biodiversity in the park.
She noted that committed action needs to be taken to support the host communities of the park.
“We are in Nigeria to provide a solution for a greener economy for the communities, for better knowledge of the ecosystem, protection of nature and empowerment of the local communities.

“I see it as very important to meet here today with the community members for the protection of this large reserve.
“UNESCO is standing with Nigeria to protect its biodiversity through an increase of the network of the biosphere reserve.
“We have started discussions with the local communities with a view to find a replacement for the illegal activities ongoing in the park,” she said.
The Minister of State for Environment, Mrs Sharon Ikeazor, said that the ministry was also collaborating with the local communities to protect biodiversity.

Also, the Commissioner for International Development Cooperation in Cross River, Dr Inyang Asibong, said that the state government places a premium on the protection of biodiversity, hence their sustained collaboration with the management of the park.

Similarly, the Commissioner for Environment in Cross River, Mr Mfon Bassey, noted that the ministry was committed to the protection and preservation of the reserve area.

The Controller of Cross River National Park, Mr Zanna Lawal, said that the Park was surrounded by 105 communities in Oban, Akamkpa Local Government Area of the state.

Lawal said that the Park enjoys a smooth working relationship with members of the host communities in the preservation and protection of the forest.
Also speaking, Mr Victor Asuquo, the Youth leader of the host communities, appealed to UNESCO and the Federal Government to provide alternative sources of livelihood for poachers, hunters, and timber loggers/dealers.
Asuquo also called for employment for the teeming youths of the host communities and entrepreneurial training that would make them self-reliant.

HI everyone..
I have been talking to a guy recently..We have known for years but lost contact and reconnected again 3months ago and I honestly do like him alot(I think he likes me too)....
When I asked him what he really wanted, he said "I dont want a relationship, I like you and just want you around"..
To me,its selfish and seems like torture to my emotions going with the facts that I'm beginning to have catch feelings..
I'm so confused now, what do I do??
I'm planning of stopping communications and erasing all memory of him...

Dissap:
Fvck 'em all, bro. They ain't worth no shit! Damn! Drill every hole they gat to offer... Make them bitches scream like their ain't no tommorow!
Fvck 'em bitches! Fvck 'em! Fvck 'em real hard like a real cholo! Damn!

Dear Tailors,

No time for pleasantries, I am perplexed.... Omo I dey vex!
One quick question, during the time of your internship or training, did your master/oga also include in the curriculum "How craft the perfect lie to make your client wait longer" or "How to collect materials and abandon them till the dying minutes". Because I don't understand how you guys will collect cloth and advance money when you still have other pending jobs to do and then proceed to abandon the new job somewhere in man's land where you can never it untill you are packing out of the shop.

My beautiful material I bought and the design I painstakingly choose just to wear and impress my girlfriend's family has all gone to waste.

Your fellow colleague, the upcoming Lai Mohammed has been posting me since forever, now the D-Day for the occasion I am going to wear Ankara of 2001 that has faded more than Buhari's memory.

How do you people sleep at night? Do you have an "anti-curse" protection device? What gives you people the boldness to lie just like that as if it is breathing to you.

Well let me stop here for now, but before I go, E NO GO BETTER FOR UNA!

Nairalanders if you have any funny experience with tailors or how to tackle these set of monsters, please kindly share so I can learn.

“It was not until I went to university in England that I realised car horns are meant for emergencies. Throughout my time in Nigeria, I thought car horns were meant to make the car in front of you move faster, or to call the gateman to open the gate. In fact, in Nigeria we even use car horn to greet. I had a neighbour who used his car horn like a talking drum. Po po pom was ‘how are you’. He even used it to call his children to the car. One pom was for his first horn. Two poms was for the second, and so on. So many things we need to unlearn in Nigeria!”

Dear Nairalanders,

With a sad and heavy heart, I'm writing to seek your advice and/or recommendations.

My mum is late. She died 2 years ago and since her demise, everything has turned left for us - her children. We were deserted and left to fend for ourselves by our uncles, aunties, and other relatives that we thought were with us when my mum was alive. My dad is still alive but he only pretends to care about us. I can't even remember the last time he has done something good for any of us. Our school fees, food, everything, were taken care of by my mum.

There is a 50-year-old man who we were later told is our distant relative. His house is a stone's throw away from our house. When I was at home, I used to run errands for him, like going to the market to buy things for him. So it was normal. He used this same method on my sister. He took advantage of my sister's naivety and impregnated her. She's barely 16 and I swear to God, she has not known any man until this bastard did this to her. He even ran away from home and plan to come back when tensions are low.

Note: we left her in the village with my dad and my brother. We, the elderly ones left the village to hustle in the city. We have not settled and we couldn't afford to take them with us.

Please I need your advice. What should be our next line of action? He's 50 and won't marry my sister. There is also a high tendency that he won't even take care of her and the baby.

Please what should we do? We are all we've got and nobody to turn to to help us fight this battle. What should we do?

Thank you.

The love and relationship between Tonto Dikeh and her ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill could not stand the test of time as it gave up abruptly.

One of the marriages that ended up in a mess was the marriage between Tonto Dikeh and her former Husband Churchill. Their marriage ended with series of scandals and drama from both parties.

The tension between Tonto and Churchill was further exacerbated when Olakunle welcomed a baby with his bestie, Rosy Meurer.

An audio obtained by Sahara reporters where it shows Tonto threatening to kill Churchill with rat poison if they were still married. The audio has been alleged to be the voice of Tonto and not that of a different person.

In her words: “I dealt with him, if Churchill slap me once, I slap him ten times before the second slap landed. He didn’t know what was hitting him. If I see any bruise on my body, I’m burning his whole clothes and you know he likes designer (sic).

“I’ll burn down the whole cloth, burn down everything. In fact, there was a day I locked him outside, took his things outside. All his clothes with box outside my house, I snapped it and sent to all his family. I say tell your son to come and pick his properties. His mother started begging me.

“When my father heard, he said, ‘You are a mad woman, you mean you locked a man outside the house and his family members were begging you like this’. I say, ‘Daddy, you won’t understand’. If I’m still with Churchill till today, Churchill would have been dead. I will give him rat poison, simple as that, and I won’t feel bad nor guilty. I will walk away like a widow because it’s better that I became a widow than all this kind of things.”
