32-Yr-Old Woman Excretes Hard Drugs Inside Aircraft
Chizoba Anya, a Nigerian lady, has excreted wraps of substance that tested positive for methamphetamine on-board a Qatar Airline Flight from Malaysia to Nigeria, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, said on Monday.
NDLEA said the 32-year old suspect was said to have excited suspicion following her frequent visits to the toilet.
“On arrival at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) Lagos, three wraps of methamphetamine were found in her possession,” said Mitchell Ofoyeju, NDLEA spokesperson.
NDLEA commander at the Lagos Airport, Mr. Hamza Umar, said that the suspect while under observation excreted two additional wraps.
“The suspect was found with three wraps which she excreted in the aircraft. While she was under observation at the Lagos airport, she excreted two additional wraps of drugs. The five wraps which tested positive for methamphetamine weighed 80 grammes,” Umar said.
Preliminary investigation also revealed that the suspect left Ghana where she ingested the drugs to Malaysia.
“In Malaysia, she was denied entry and made to board another flight back to Nigeria. She started excreting the drugs at the airport in Malaysia,” NDLEA said.
The agency quoted the suspect as saying in her statement that she was offered half a million naira to smuggle the drugs to Malaysia.
“I was promised the sum of half a million naira but my problem started when I had immigration problem in Malaysia. I was denied entry and made to return to Nigeria after two days. While in the aircraft, I excreted three wraps and two other wraps in the NDLEA office,” Vivian stated.
Vivian, who hails from Onitsha, said that she just completed her Higher National Diploma (HND) in Business Administration at the Federal Polytechnic Oko, Anambra State.
“I just completed my HND programme and I am from a very poor family. I wanted to use the money they promised me to assist my siblings by smuggling the drug to Malaysia,” she added.
What can I do to make my girlfriend of 10 years leave?
I knew that 2 years ago. But I have done all I can to make her leave inthe past 2 years yet she won’t leave. I have cheated, beat her, not called for weeks, still yet she is always forgiving me.
I have even set her up with men but she would always tell them how she loves her boyfriend of years. I’ve been dating another girl for the past 2 years and I want to propose but my stubborn girlfriend I don’t love doesn’t want to make way.my girlfriend who I want to marry is getting tired of waiting for me to breakup with this one
I even went as far as telling her maybe we should spend some time apart.She just laughed and said we are one in spirit so that doesn’t make sense .
I am fed up. What can I do to make a woman get tired and leave ? This is urgent and I need answers before I go crazy.Is it by force to love again? I’m pissed off

Popular Chineses actor, Jet Li battling serious health issues
Jet Li however said he was determined to fight the condition head-on,He discussed his diagnosis during the taping of a talent show he’s judging in China.
He said his weight had increased, but he was taking it all in stride. Li joked about his weight gain and said “I’m fat, I don’t have the time to lose it. It’s a fact!”
He explained that exercise does not go with the medication he’s taking.
Li was diagnosed in 2010. He kept his condition under control with medication, but it came back with a vengeance recently.
He said that he’s tackling his illness head-on. “I’m just a regular guy, I’m not Wong Fei Hung, I’m not Huo Yuan Jia (kung fu heroes he portrays on film), I’m not a hero. I’m just like you.”
Li confessed there are times he’s unsure if he’s able to carry on with work, but he’s determined. “I’m in pain, but I’m not suffering. I’m happy,” he said.
Woman who got HIV while seeking for A child
I got HIV in the process of looking for a child,” says Mrs. Titi Okunowo with a sad smile. “I got the child but it came with what I didn’t bargain for — a virus I may live with for the rest of my life.”
Globally, sexual transmission is responsible for 75 per cent of HIV infections. But Okunowo did not contract HIV through sex. It all started with a love story.
When Okunowo met with the man that would become her husband, it was almost love at first sight. But her husband’s family opposed their union. So, when they tried for a baby and there was none coming, Okunowo began to fear for the future of her marriage.
“I didn’t want to lose my husband. I didn’t want him to look outside for another woman who could bear him a child. I wanted to protect my marriage and I also feared my in-laws’ wrath,” she says.
Okunowo is one of the 3.1 million Nigerians who have the Human Immunodeficiency Virus in their bloodstreams. According to the National Agency for the Control of AIDS, 58 per cent of the members of this group are women but only 23 per cent of women in Nigeria have comprehensive knowledge of HIV transmission and prevention issues.
Driven by the desperation to have a child and save her home, Okunowo went looking for help at hospitals and trado-medical centres. She moved from doctors to herbalists, submitting her body to injections, incisions, transfusions and all manner of invasive procedures. In her desperation, she did not request any of the doctors or herbalists to sterilise the tools or use new ones.
She says, “I won’t lie to you. I visited everyone and everywhere I could to get a child. Once I hear that someone somewhere can help me get pregnant, I would run there as far as my legs could carry me. Name the state, I have been there. And I am not talking about hospitals alone; I also visited herbalists in three different states.
“I went through all sorts of procedures, both medical and ‘native’ in my desperation. Some of the places where these procedures took place were not neat but I didn’t care. Neatness and safety was the last thing on my mind. I did not ask if they sterilised their blades or not. I just needed a child. I needed to keep my home.”
OJB calls out D'banj in new intervew, says celebs used his donation as competition
During an interview with Inspiration FM's Gloria Maduka post surgery, veteran music producer OJB Jezreel addressed controversy surrounding his donations, said celebs used it as competition and calls out Dbanj. Here's why he's unhappy with D'banj. During his fund raiser many months back, there were rumours that D'banj gave his former music producer N7m, a report that D'banj didn't deny. OJB says D'banj didn't give him a dime and was upset that he didn't try to set the record straight
"The most disappointing one for me is D'banj because he passed through my hands, he was trained under my tutelage. That is offensive. I don't care if you're with Kanye West, you can't forget your root. I won't call anybody else's name but I will call his because it hurts. His own hurts very deep. And he never tried to reach out to me. It's not like we parted on fighting terms. He told me he had to go to London and he went. And when he came back it was Don Jazzy, and I said OK, that's fine. And what he did worked and I'm very proud of him, the love, that's why it hurts more. He should have come out to say no, I don't know why you people are saying all this, I didn't give OJB N7million, maybe a part of him felt embarrassed because at the end of the day, really, are you not supposed to do something?" OJB says during the interview
He also talked about how people used his fund raiser as competition and once again addresses the bounced cheques. Continue....
"When P-Square gave me N5million cheque, everybody started treating as a competition. They were like, they brought N5m, I want to show that I can do more, or equal it. So they will come to my house, some will drop N2m, N1m, you say thank you, they take pictures and go away. Then you drop the cheque in your account and you see that almost N4/5million is being returned back to you that it didn't clear. You call them and tell them and they tell you they are coming but they haven't picked the cheques till now.
"The shocking ones are not even the bounced cheques. It's the ones that when they are coming to meet you in the house to give you money, they come with a whole camera crew. Then they will say I'm donating one million naira to you and the cameras start recording and maybe the guy's tape stops, and he says let's take that again (Laughs).
"There were people in my dialysis that I gave N100k each to pay for their dialysis, we didn't publicise it, we didn't take photos with them, because I felt that was unnecessary."

Kanye promises not to say anything negative about anyone for six months
Everything I'm saying that’s not allowed, soak it in right now. This might be the last time y’all hear me talk s*** for a long time. Might be another like 6 months, at least. You’re just gonna have to run back the interviews and sh*t if you wanna hear some realness!
"I’m gonna tell y’all right now that all of the ideas, what they call the rants the streams of consciousness that I express, I told y’all, save those tapes and everything because I’ve decided to completely focus everything in 2014, on new ideas and on creative outlets. I’m not [going to] ever bring up Nike again, and the only way I’ll bring them up is in a positive light … I’ll never bring up the Grammys again in a negative light, because I actually appreciate the 21 Grammys that I did win.”
"Because I’m not [trying] to be a dude that has all the opportunities in the world and only focuses on the negative, or complains about it, or just gets in some type of zone that just having to turn up all the time and sh*t. So I’m letting you all now that this is the last Yeezus show, and this is the last time you’ll ever hear me say negative about anyone.."
Amen! Hope he means it!

How To Be A BAdGuy #NaijaVersion
Guys, Dating na wash oh, so this is how to be a successful play-boy in naija. Nowadays, na play-boy sure pass oh!. Na the rules be this:
1) BE ATTRACTIVE:
This is the most important rule in the game. Girls fall for attractive guys, it’s simple and plain. So guys, hustle and package yourself: take care of your hair, skin, wear nice perfumes, and dress fly!. I’m not talking about skinny jeans, I’m talking about that grown man look and please don’t sag too much.
No mean say you go keep trouser for your chest oh. lol. Be a fine boy bro!!.
All that money wey you use dash one girl wey dey break your heart and no even send you, use it and package yourself so that you can attract more girls. Girls love guys that other girls will trip for, it gives them more self esteem. That’s what’s up oh, wake up!.
If you package yourself and look attractive, you don’t need all that “10 ways to get a girl” bla bla bla, all na hogwash. Girls will come your way, all you need to do is to know when to detect the green light from them and zoom in. If you get nice apartment and car na advantage,all na still under attraction because you will attract a higher class of girls.
2) 50/50:
Please, don’t go extra miles to get any girl. If she likes you, she wouldn’t stress you, things would be smooth ,Stop the excessive calls, text, chats if she is not reciprocating. If you’ve called her 3 times and you never receive 1 call from her, omoh na jonzing oh.
Let her be, she’s not feeling you. Because that same girl wey no dey return your calls, get other guys wey she go dey over-call like 3 times per day. You dey chase am for 3 months but emeka Don straff am within 1 week. Na packaging. That’s why I say you should package and be attractive (number 1 rule).
If you’re attractive, you would have enough girls and the few jonzing girls wouldn’t matter. Even Jay-z can’t get every girl but his “attractive” money can get him enough to last for his lifetime.
3) DON’T DEPEND ON MONEY:
Money is good but it’s not the ultimatum when it comes to getting Nigerian girls. If you must spend, spend it on yourself. It’s called packaging… Again the most important rule comes in: be ATTRACTIVE.
Those who depend solely on money to get a Nigerian girl are guys whom are “unpackaged”, ugly or have very low self esteem. Bro, if you’re not bad looking, package yourself and watch things change.
That girl wey you dey buy BB porch for still get guys wey dey straff her for free!!. Don’t be a maga, use that money take package yourself. Even if you spend, it’s gonna be very little and for very important reasons.
I hear guys dey shout say the key to naija girls na money but na pure lie! Be wise. Girls also like sweet-talkers, tell her whatever she loves to hear. If she finds you attractive, the only thing you gotta spend on her is time and maybe a little cash.
4). SINGLE MINDSET:
In Nigeria, the relationship world is a fairly tale. A pipe dream. Most of the relationship na pure wash. They might feel we are in a relationship but in my mind I’m single. If you have this mindset, you would worry less and give her freedom. Girls love freedom, they hate an over suspicious/nagging guy.
The level of cheating nowadays is hilarious. Brothers,stop putting your hearts in every relationship cause only like 0.5% of Nigerian girls are trustworthy(his oppinion).They are scarce, Be wise. Your girlfriend fit get like 5 other bad guys wey dey service am. I dey laff you!!. You nor dey see wetin dey happen for our social media?. Na only you like to straff abi? Hahaha!
5) BACK-UP PLANS:
Its good to have at least at 4 or 5 girlfriends in this computer age oh. I pity guys wey dey form “I’m faithful” to one. Bro, that your “faithful” girl might be Doing other dudes.
That’s why she breaks your heart, When you have enough girls, no one of them can deeply hurt you. It’s easy, you just pick the next best one and in a few days all that memories of your ex is swept clean.
6) DOG-EAT-DOG-WORLD:
No matter how attractive and hot you are, there’s always someone out there that could outshine you. But it’s cool.Its a dog eat dog world. If a hotter/ richer guy snatches my girls attention, I wouldn’t care deep cuz I know I got more and I’d still attract someone else’s girlfriend too!…. And the circle continues. That’s how it goes, no hard feelings.
7) BED CHAMPION:
Sorry, I can teach you this but its important. Learn to be a giant at it, be the best you can be. Them like am die. If you’re good, she would keep coming back.
N/B: don’t be foolish bro, always keep a good girl and if possible, wife her. They are extremely scarce in naija so you must hold on and never let go if you find her. A wise Guy can identify a good girl. I met one during my youth service but sadly, she was married. Morals, soul, beauty,brains: A perfect woman. Until I find her, I shall keep pimping these girls.

Photo : Drunk Policemen Kill Teenager, Other During Christmas Party
When on December 14, 2013, 18-year-old Ikenna Onyeizu and 21-year-old Moses Aiyenuro, attended a Christmas party at Dele Hotel, Ijora Badia area of Lagos State, little did they know that they would not return home.
Residents of the area told PUNCH Metro that the two boys were killed by drunken policemen attached to Ijora Badia Police Station around midnight.
Our correspondent also learnt that another youth, Mike Banji, was also shot by the policemen but survived.
Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, had told our correspondent last week that the boys were stabbed to death by some hoodlums during a fight that broke out at the hotel.
Braide had said when the police arrived at the scene, the boys were rushed to the hospital where they eventually died.
“There was a stampede at Dele Hotel where they were holding an end-of-the-year party around 11pm on December 14. Hoodlums engaged in a fight with machetes and bottles. Moses Aiyenuro was slashed on the neck. A team of policemen from Ijora Badia Police Station rushed to the scene and rescued him, Ikenna and another unconscious person.
“Moses was confirmed dead at the hospital. Hoodlums attacked the police station demanding the release of their colleagues and five suspects were arrested.”
However, a medical report signed by Dr. Durojaiye of the Lagos Island General Hospital, stated that Ikenna was shot in both legs.
PUNCH Metro also learnt that Moses, whose corpse was deposited at Mainland Hospital, Yaba, was killed by a bullet that pierced through his neck and collar bone, and not a machete cut as claimed by the police.
When our correspondent visited the family of the two slain boys on Sunday, sympathisers were seen consoling the family.
Ikenna’s father, Mr. Michael Onyeizu, told our correspondent that with the loss of his son, life had become unbearable.
He said, “I am 50-years-old and I am an umbrella repairer; Ikenna was my only son and I have just one daughter left. He was neither a trouble maker nor a thief. I have struggled all my life and it was my hope that he would bring me out of poverty, but police killed him.
“He just finished secondary school and he was working as a waiter in a nearby hotel to support me. After he was killed, I went to the station to find out what happened, but I was chased out and the policeman on duty even threatened to detain me.
“I don’t have money to pay any lawyer; but I want justice and money to bury my son.”
When our correspondent visited the family house of Moses, his mother and pregnant wife were seen crying.
Moses’s mother said, “This is the second son that I will be losing. Moses was not a cult member. He did not drink or smoke. Police have been embarking on raid, arresting innocent people, and demanding money from them before they are released. Moses just got married last month and his wife is pregnant.”
A friend of the deceased, who craved anonymity due to the sensitivity of the case, told our correspondent that Moses was shot at close range.
He identified some of the killer policemen as Soji and Emma.
He said, “We were having fun at the party when some hoodlums started fighting over a girl. Policemen had been hired by the hotel to provide protection that day, but they went on a drinking spree. When the fight started, they came back and started shooting, but by then, those fighting had fled.
“Among the policemen, I saw Soji and Emma shooting and one of the bullets hit Ikenna on the legs. Moses and I carried Ikenna to the police station to get a police report so that we could take him to a hospital for treatment, but they started shooting at us again so we fled.
“One of the policemen grabbed Moses by the shirt and shot him at close range and killed him. They put his body in a patrol vehicle and beat me and I fell unconscious.”
Moses’s elder sister, Funmilayo, who also witnessed the incident, said she pleaded with the policemen to leave her brother but she was pushed into a gutter where she remained unconscious only to wake up to hear that her brother was dead.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the Office of the Public Defender, a department under the Lagos State Ministry of Justice had taken over the case.
The Secretary, Lagos Marginalised Communities Forum, Ishola Agbodemu, berated the police over the killing of the two youths.
Agbodemu accused the police of high-handedness and urged the government to ensure that the killer cops were brought to book.
Braide promised to respond to the new development, but did not call back as of the time of going to the press.
