Nairaland General › What Is Your Greatest Fear In Life? by zinachidi(op): 3:16pm On Sep 06, 2015

i read davido's interview once, where he said not making heaven was one of his greatest fears in life,,..

And i came to realise that it was my greatest fear too,,. I mean the way these men of God describe hell can make ice run down your spine just at the thought of it..

At some times when i'm alone i just keep on wondering,,,...

WHAT IF??..

Not being able to achieve all my dreams and dying young also scares me,, or dying before before i can reap the fruit of my labour is also one of my greatest fears in life...

So over to you nairalanders, what are your greatest fears in life? I dont necessarily mean your phobias, but you can share them here too if you have any..

Me,, my phobia is not having data on my phone(does that even have a name? grin

)..

Crime › Former DG DSS, Ekpenyong Ita’s Brother Kidnapped by zinachidi(op): 8:31am On Sep 06, 2015

A community leader in Creek Town, Odukpani Local Government area of Cross River State, Chief Asuquo Ekpenyong Ekpe, has been kidnapped. Sources said Ekpe, the elder brother of the former Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Chief Ekpenyong Ita, was kidnapped in his Creek Town residence in the early hours of Saturday at about 4.00 am.
Initially, rumours had made the rounds that his wife
was also kidnapped, but the police debunked the claims, saying that it was only Ekpe that was kidnapped. Source told THISDAY that Ekpe was kidnapped by some unknown gunmen who arrived in their speedboats and stormed his residence in the community in the dark hours through the creeks, when the tide of the Calabar River estuary was high.

The sources said the gunmen, whose number could not be immediately ascertained, escaped with their captive through a narrow canal, perhaps the same route they came into the community.
The source said soldiers who were drafted to the Creek Town jetty after a previous kidnap episode in the community were at still at their duty post when the latest kidnap happened. The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) for the state police command, Mr. Hogan Bassey, confirmed the kidnap of Ekpe. Bassey said the police was aware of the incident and were on top of the situation.

Sports › 5 Things We Learnt From Tanzania Vs Nigeria by zinachidi(op): 5:16pm On Sep 05, 2015

1. Difficult start for Oliseh

As soon as Sunday Oliseh was announced as
Stephen Keshi’s successor, he has been
submerged in a giant wave of optimism and
goodwill. A lot of people – this writer included –
has been genuinely hopeful and excited. Well, it is
not as if all that has evaporated, but this is surely not the start he hoped for. He will have more time
to work on the squad and the results will start
showing soon.

2. Carl I keep your shirt, Vincent?

Amid the inexperience and lack of basic
intelligence in the Eagles squad, debutant Carl
Ikeme managed to stand out and cover himself in
glory. The Wolves goalkeeper, who was called up
to replace the bereaved Vincent Enyeama was a
commanding presence, calm and classy. Ikeme pulled off some nice stops in the second half, when
the Tanzania threatened to shock.

3. Beginning of the end for Haruna

One of the major talking points of the game, was
Oliseh pulling out Haruna Lukman in the 35th
minute of the game. The Anzhi midfielder looked
lethargic prior to that, playing with little or no
energy and enthusiasm. It is one thing to have
ability. It is not thing to use it well. Once again, we saw that the line between arrogance and
confidence is painfully blur. For someone who had
been in the international wilderness for five years,
he should have grabbed this opportunity with
both hands.

4. Emenike, Musa don’t do enough

For a team that was sprinkled with debutants and
a lot of inexperienced heads, the more
experienced players did not come to the party.
Emmanuel Emenike was a bit average and did not
link up play as well as he can. CSKA Moscow
winger, Ahmed Musa, sparkled in bursts – and it was really more about his pace than end product.

5. Tanzania give good account of themselves

Most pundits expected the Eagles to impose
themselves on their hosts and claim another
routine victory in Dar es Salaam. That was not the
case. Tanzania provided real threat all through the
game and if not for Ikeme and some wayward
finishing, they should have scored a goal or two, especially in the second half.

Crime › Godwin Nwaofor Cheated Pensioners Out Of £5m Life Savings In London by zinachidi(op): 4:25pm On Sep 03, 2015

https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/09/03/15/2BF0C36700000578-0-image-a-73_1441292036082.jpg

*Godwin Nwaofor had a 'suckers list' of target victims to send bogus letters

*The letters were sent by a ‘lottery agent’ targeting mainly American pensioners informing them they had won the Australian Lottery

*He received around £1million from the scam and blew the money on luxury cars, gold jewellery and expensive champagne at top nightclubs in London

*Nwaofor helped another Nigerian, Frank Onyechonam nicknamed nicknamed ‘Fizzy’ for his love of vintage champagne and jailed for eight years in 2014

*Judge Richard Hone QC had little sympathy for Nwaofor, who broke down in tears at Central Criminal Court as he was jailed for seven years

A conman funded a playboy lifestyle by cheating pensioners out of their life savings.

Godwin Nwaofor, 36, kept a 'suckers list' of potential victims to send bogus letters saying they had won the Australian Lottery.

The Nigerian national received around £1million from the scam and blew the money on luxury cars, gold jewellery and expensive champagne at top nightclubs in London.

Nwaofor was a ‘willing and enthusiastic lieutenant’ to the mastermind of the con, another Nigerian, Frank Onyechonam, who was nicknamed ‘Fizzy’ for his love of vintage champagne.

Onyeachonam was jailed eight years last year, after he was exposed as the chief player in the scam.

He drove a Maserati and fired bubbly corks across exclusive private members clubs as he lived a life of fantastic luxury on his victim’s life savings.

The scam started with a bogus letter to a vulnerable pensioner telling them they had won the Australian Lottery.

The letters were sent by a ‘lottery agent’ targeting mainly American pensioners informing them they had won a life-changing prize and requesting a modest sum to release the funds.

Believing they had won, victims were hooked into paying fees to release their ‘winnings’ through an agent who would demand ‘activation fees’ to release their cash.

In some cases, dupes set up businesses in an attempt to receive their winnings and became unwitting money mules laundering cash from other victims.

Nwaofor, a father of two, regularly switched addresses to avoid being caught.

One victim, a 76-year-old woman, who believed she had won $1.85m, tried to track down Nwaofor after the FBI told her she had fallen victim to a scam.

She flew to the UK and went to the address she had for Nwaofor, but found that he had already moved on to another address.

Judge Richard Hone QC said the evidence in the case, at Central Criminal Court, against Nwaofor was ‘overwhelming’ and showed him to be a proven liar.

‘You have a tendency to be dishonest in your dealings with landlords, agencies, the police, HMRC, and car hire firms’, he said.

‘You also moved addresses regularly to ensure your whereabouts remained a mystery.’

Police identified 406 victims from two notebooks found at Onyeachonam’s Canary Wharf penthouse when he was arrested.

They seized Louis Vuitton shoes, Gucci handbags, a collection of expensive watches and dozens of designer shoes, as well as 5,000 pictures of Onyeachonam flaunting his wealth at exclusive upmarket venues including the Guvnor Bar in Docklands, east London.

One picture shows him showering a friend with champagne, in others he poses with scantily clad blondes or waves wads of £50 notes.

There was also evidence of extensive communication with Lagos resident Ese Orogun, nicknamed the ‘chairman’, who is thought to be the global mastermind of the fraud.

He lives in a private gated community, is a ‘celebrity’ in the Nigerian capital and drives multiple supercars, including a Maserati and a Porsche.

Detectives fear the scale of the fraud could even mushroom to £30million if all the details discovered in notebooks and emails can be traced to victims.

Nwaofor moved to the UK in January 2006 from Nigeria and soon married a German citizen.

He has two children with her, aged six and six-months-old.

He broke down in tears as he was jailed for seven years this morning, but the judge said he did not believe the remorse was genuine.

‘Just as a crocodile sheds its tears while devouring its prey, so the copious weeping in court is not hypocritical remorse but tears of frustration that in spite of your careful concealment, you have been well and truly rumbled’, the judge told him.

‘This Australian lottery scam has brought penury and debt to your victims who were ruthlessly milked of their hard earned savings.’

The judge said although ten victims were traced by prosecutors as having fallen for Nwaofor’s scam, but that was probably the ‘tip of the iceberg’.

‘Vast sums of cash you used to fund a luxury lifestyle, with top of the range hire cars, large watches, gold jewellery, expensive nightclubs’, said the judge.

‘It shows you made the best part of £1m yourself.’

Nwaofor, of Camberell Green, south London, was found guilty of conspiracy to defraud, converting criminal property, and acquisition of criminal property.

He will serve half his sentence in prison and the remaining part on licence and will also now face confiscation proceeds.

Onyeachonam, of Canning Town, east London, was found guilty of conspiracy to defraud between January 2005 and December 2012.
