Photos: Court remands Deputy Chief Registrar in prison for N9.2m Fraud


Justice S. Olagunju of the Oyo State High Court sitting in Ibadan, Oyo State has ordered that Mrs.Mutiat Omobola Adio, the deputy chief registrar of the Ibadan Judicial Divison of Oyo State High Court, be remanded in prison custody following her arraignment on Friday, on a 2-count charge of fraud to the tune of N9.2million by Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
Adio allegedly collected the said sum as payment for a property located at Plot 10, Block XXIV, Bashorun Estate, Ibadan, sold to one Yekini Olonade, but failed to surrender the title documents of the property to him.
Efforts of the victim to either recover the money or have possession of the property yielded no result.
The offense was contrary to Section 1 (2) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Related Offences Act, 2006 and punishable under Section 1 (3) of the same Act.
One of the counts reads:
'That you, Ms Mutiat Omobola Adio on or about the 19th of December, 2016, at Ibadan within the Ibadan judicial Division of this Honourable court with intent to defraud, obtained the sum of Nine million and Two Hundred Thousand Naira (N9,200,000,00) only from one Alhaji Yekini Olonade through Kunle Abimbola by falsely pretending that it was part payment of the cost price of a building and land situate, lying and being at plot 10, Block XXLV, Bashorun Estate, Lagelu Local Government Area, Ibadan which you purported to have sold to him'. 
The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge. 
In view of her plea, counsel to EFCC, Oluwatoyin Owodunni, asked the court to fix a date for the prosecution to present its witnesses and for the remand of the defendant in prison custody pending trial.
But, Adio’s counsel, T. O. Moneke, prayed the court for a short adjournment to enable her file application for bail of the defendant.
Justice Olagunju adjourned the case to May 5, 2017, for the hearing on the bail application.

Ukrainian professional boxer, Wladimir Klitschko who lost the IBF, WBA and IBO heavyweight titles to Anthony Joshua on Saturday still booked his name to the boxing history for being the first ever boxer to knock the British boxer to the canvas.

Tennis legend, Ilie Nastase tenders apology for racist comments on Serena Williams

 
Romanian Tennis Legend, Ilie Nastase has tendered a public apology for his racist comments on Serena Williams and his outburst during a Fed Cup match that saw him suspended by the International Tennis Federation.
The apology comes days after the 70-year-old legend was suspended for speculating about the skin color of the baby, Serena Williams is expecting with her fiance, Alexis Ohanian, who is white.
On his second controversy, he threw shade at Britain’s Johanna Konta, who was reduced to tears during last weekend’s Fed Cup competition in Romania.
Taking to his Facebook page on Friday, an apologetic Nastase, wrote:
'I was five when I first picked up a racket. Since then, tennis has been more than a sport or a profession for me. Tennis has been, and is, my life, and for tennis, I have sacrificed almost everything, personal or professional. Unfortunately, now, in my 70s, I have somehow managed to do something I have never wanted or even imagined: to feel tennis moving further away from me.
The last few days have been difficult for me. My words during the Fed Cup have rightfully caused controversy and upset the audience, the press and, most painfully for me, the tennis world. I will not attempt to defend my words, but I can assure you they only stemmed from my genuine desire to defend the Romanian team and Romanian tennis.
I am fully aware that nothing can truly excuse my statements – not the tension of a high-stakes game, not my traditionally irreverent attitude, not the unfortunate escalation of the situation. My life remains dedicated to tennis and its audiences, so please accept my apologies, for whatever they may be worth right now.

Donald Trump snubs White House Correspondents dinner


Donald Trump has just become the first president in 36 years to miss the annual White House Correspondents dinner. The last time a sitting president missed the dinner was in 1981 when Ronald Reagan didn't attend because he was recovering from a gunshot injury, but he did call into the event via video feed.
Donald Trump has not a had a good relationship with the media so instead of attending the dinner, he chose to attend a rally in Pennsylvania to celebrate his first 100 days in office. He also tweeted his frustration with the media.

'Mainstream (FAKE) media refuses to state our long list of achievements, including 28 legislative signings, strong borders & great optimism!'.

Man accuses his wife of refusing to consummate their marriage and cheating on him with her mum, then she reveals she has no vagina


An unusual family drama played out on Caso Cerrado, Spains's version of Judge Rinder, a TV court show that oversees a variety of cases on air. The husband, Alejandro, brought his wife, Tania, before the TV show host, Ana Maria Polo. Alejandro informed the host and others present that he walked in on his wife getting intimate with her adoptive mother and that prior to that, she had always refused to have sex with him. It was at that point that Tania claimed that her husband was trying to divorce her because she has no vagina.
Alejandro told the TV host that his wife refused to have sex with him until they got married and even after marriage, she avoided consummating their marriage on their wedding night. He then claimed that he walked in on his wife's adoptive mother penetrating her with a dildo. He said he was done with the marriage and wanted to divorce his wife who he referred to as a "shameless tramp".

With a shaky voice, Tania can be seen fighting back tears as she countered her husband's accusations and discloses that she was born with a congenital abnormality called Rokitansky Syndrome. This means that she has no vaginal canal and no uterus, though she has ovaries. She was diagnosed at age 14. However, after she got engaged and as her wedding approached, she claimed to have gone for a surgery to create a vaginal canal but the first time she had sex with her husband, it was too painful that she cried and freaked out.

She said: "He's the love of my life and he knows it. What I don't understand is why he's forgetting to mention the root of the problem. I'm not a regular woman. I've never had a vagina.
"I was born with a syndrome called Rokitansky - it's a congenital condition which means the vagina can be very small or completely absent. In my case, it's completely absent. I have suffered greatly because of this.
Tania said that when she could not be sexually available to her husband, she felt she had failed as a wife, so she then asked her adoptive mother to help her widen the vaginal cavity using a cylindrical instrument because the doctor had told her that women with the syndrome who have had surgery to create a vagina have to "continually dilate themselves" and have ongoing treatment and therapy. It was in the process of her mother helping her expand the vaginal canal that her husband walked in.
The host listened to them both and after they were done, she granted the divorce, leaving Tania horrified.

Photo: Nigerian cook arrested in Malaysia for selling drugs


Malaysia Police on Thursday, April 27, said they arrested a Nigerian cook after he was found to be in possession of cannabis worth RM2,000. Serdang police chief assistant commissioner Megat Mohd Aminuddin Megat Alias said the 42-year old Nigerian man was arrested near Pangsapuri Anggerik, Taman Suria in Seri Kembangan, on Saturday, April 22.

His 32-year old girlfriend, who is also a Nigerian, was also picked up by the police in his flat.
Megat said he was found carrying a plastic bag containing 24 small packets of dried leaves, believed to be cannabis. The packets weighed 150 grammes.

"We seized some RM2,000 worth of ganja packed in small packets and sachets.
"We believe the suspect had been operating his drug business near a restaurant where he worked," he said.
Further checks in his flat found another bag containing cannabis, weighing 727.68 gram. Megat said, based on the initial probe, the man had no work permit while his girlfriend is a student in a private college. 
"The man had been staying in the country for 10 years. He had entered the country under the pretext of pursuing his studies here. He has only been active in drug trafficking since several months ago," he told a press conference at the police district headquarter on Thursday.
Megat said the man used the restaurant he worked in to sell drugs, with most of the customers comprising foreigners.
The case is investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, which carries a death sentence upon conviction.

Ghost President, Ghost Achievements, Ghost Monies in Apartment Owned by Ghosts By Reno Omokri

 
This is an article written by Reno Omokri. Please read on..
For the better part of this week, Nigeria has been having much of a to do about the royal snub from the Oba of Lagos to the Ooni of Ife. Such outrage, such consternation against Oba Rilwan Akiolu. The venom vented on him on social media and in real life were as though he had committed some unpardonable sin.
We are angry with an Oba who refused to shake an Ooni, but not at a President who refused to shake his own female ministers on religious grounds but did not remember religion when he shook hands with the Queen of England, Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany and Iara Oshiomhole.
You can see that hypocrisy, rather than corruption is the main problem of Nigeria. A nation that sympathizes with a star's husband for attempted suicide and charges a destitute woman with attempted suicide. No wonder our Presidential Villa had been turned to a retirement home!
Strewth!
As a people, we are easily distracted, easily carried away. We are excitable, with hyperactive nerves, quick to run away after fancies while the issues that are at the heart of our survival as a people are left untreated.
While we were tearing our our hair over what might just have been an oversight on the part of the Oba of Lagos, the minister of Information, the eponymously named Lai Mohammed, announced to a distracted nation that President Muhammadu Buhari, who had just missed his third Executive Council of the Federation meeting, would be working from home!
This is the same Lai Mohammed who in December 21, 2009 called for his predecessor, the late Professor Dora Akinyuli, to give daily updates on  President Yar'adua's health.
Speaking as the Publicity Secretary for the now defunct Action Congress, Lai said:
“It is clear to discerning Nigerians that those pretending to speak authoritatively on the President’s health are deceiving the public, since they are neither well informed on the issue nor competent to speak on it. Therefore, a daily briefing by the Minister of Information, based on authentic details provided by the President’s doctors, should start forthwith. As we have said many times, the health of the President, as a public figure can no longer be of interest only to his family and friends. Nigerians have a right to know."
This is the same Lai who told us in January that the President was in perfect good health. Now we know that his health is so good that he has to work from home! 
And to add insult to injury, just two days before Lai told us that the President would now work from home, Chief John Odigie Oyegun was hugging the headlines calling for a second term for the stat at home President! Really!
We only see the man every Friday, yet instead of praying for his recovery Oyegun is scheming for his second term! That is how they deceived Abacha and Yar'adua to cling onto power instead of tending to their health. What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his soul?
This is a man that we only see on Friday at Mosque. The man has more or less become a ghost President!
A ghost President, with ghost achievements fighting ghost workers with an EFCC that goes after ghost monies in apartments owned by ghosts. This is what President Muhammadu Buhari and the ruling All Progressive Congress have reduced Nigeria to!
It is hypocritical for a government that fights ghost workers to have a ghost President. If the President is sick let him hand over to the more than able Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo! 
If you think it is harsh to ask the President to hand over to Osinbajo then ask him if he did not give the same advice to Yar'adua in 2010! Precisely on March 10, 2010, President Muhammadu Buhari called for the impeachment of Yar'adua because his health condition prevented him from performing his duties. For three weeks our President has not attended council meeting. For three weeks the only time we see him is at Mosque. Would he have tolerated this from Yar'adua?
From President Muhammadu Buhari's residence in Aso Rock to his office takes a five minute walk. I have walked that route myself. I know what I am taking about. I have been in his official residence and I have been in his office. 
His office and his residence are connected by a corridor. If he cannot make it to the office despite the close proximity between his office and his residence, it suggests he may need something more than resting at home. Remember what Obasanjo said on January 20, 2010 “If you take up an assignment, a job-elected, appointed whatever it is, and then your health starts to fail and you will not be able to deliver to satisfy yourself and to satisfy the people you are supposed to serve, then there is a path of honour and the path of morality. There is path of honour and the path of morality."
A 93, President Robert Mugabe does not work from home. Even Pope Benedict XVI, whose home was his office, resigned in 2013 when his health could not handle the demands of the papacy. It is not about age. It is about capacity. President Muhammadu Buhari said the same thing about Yar'adua. What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. 
Again, President Buhari, if you cant cope, temporarily hand over to Osinbajo! It does not have to be permanent. Go and take care of yourself. Aso Rock is a Presidential Villa not a retirement home!
What moral justification does the Head of Service or any authority have to query any civil servant for absenteeism going by this recent development?
I urge any civil servant who is being queried or has been sacked for absenteeism to sue the Federal Government. If President Muhammadu Buhari can work from home and still collect full salary, why can't other federal workers? If the man with the most vital job can do his job from home, why can't civil servants with less vital duties follow suit.
And you can imagine that only this week, the State House correspondent of the Punch Newspapers was banished from Aso Rock Presidential Villa by President Muhammadu Buhari's Chief Security Officer because of a story on the President's health. Now we know what the fuss was all about!
And the excuse given by the Presidency that they were unaware of the CSO's action only raises more questions than it answers.
The worst thing the Nigerian Presidency could do in the case of the The Punch Newspapers reporter that was expelled from Aso Rock Villa by President Muhammadu Buhari's Chief Security Officer is to admit that they were not informed before the actions. If the Presidency was not informed about this action done in the Presidency's name then it begs the question, who is ruling Nigeria? Who is exercising the executive powers of the President? Is the tail now wagging the dog? Is this a déjà vu of the Yar'adua situation? No wonder Babachir asked 'who is the Presidency'. We did not know what he meant!
From the way things now stand, I just have to ask that between Nnamdi Kanu and President Muhammadu Buhari, who is actually in prison and who is actually free? 
At least we see Kanu in court. How often do we see Buhari? Nnamdi Kanu speaks with authority, can we say the same of an unrepentant blamer who blames everyone but himself for the misfortune of his administration? Nnamdi Kanu has no NTA or a Liar Mohammed yet his words affect more headlines than those who do, proving that leadership is not by position! Yet somebody thinks Nnamdi Kanu is in prison and President Buhari is free! I laugh in Igbo and Fufulde!
And to think that Joe Igbokwe, the Publicity Secretary of the Lagos State chapter of the APC had the guts to say that the Igbo are not interested in Nnamdi Kanu's cause! 
If Joe Igbokwe really thinks the Igbo are 'not interested' in Nnamdi Kanu's cause, let him go and say so in Onitsa Market and see if he survives. It is easy to stay in Lagos and say such nonsense, but I have a word of advise for Igbokwe: No matter how much a slave rejects his father's name, his master will still not include his own name in his will. 
Hypocrisy has almost become a national pastime under this APC administration. It is not surprising. What more can one expect from a government that was conceived in propaganda and delivered in deceit?
Take the hypocrisy in the case of Mrs. Titilayo Momoh, the failed suicide who attempted the act on the Third Mainland Bridge. Now she has been charged to court. 
I do not understand the point of charging failed suicides to court for attempted suicide. Do we want to drive them to succeed at suicide? Failed suicide need counseling, support and understanding. Stress, pressures of life and disappointments drove them to suicide. By charging them to court we are only adding more stress, pressure and disappointment to their life, further pushing them to suicide. This is an archaic law that is against the principles of natural justice and needs to be taken off our statute books.
A government that does not care if Fulani herdsmen kill us has the guts to charge a woman for attempted suicide! Are they angry she cheated Fulani herdsmen off her life? This is a travesty of justice! They have not charged the killers of pastor Eunice Elisha who was killed in Kubwa, fifteen minutes from Aso Rock Villa. They have not charged the killers of pastor Eunice Elisha who was beheaded in Kano in broad daylight. They have not charged the killers of Southern Kaduna minorities. But it is Mrs. Titilayo Momoh who is overburdened by a debt she cannot pay that they can try for attempted suicide. What a hypocritical action!
When Tiwa Savage's husband, Tunji "Tee Billz" Balogun, attempted suicide, nobody charged him for attempted suicide and rightly so. So why charge Mrs. Titilayo Momoh with attempted suicide? Does Nigeria have one law for the rich and famous and another for the poor and unknown? This woman attempted suicide because the economy collapsed and her business was in ruins  leaving her in debt. Let us not fight the symptoms and leave the disease. If the government wants to deter suicide then they should fix the economy instead of trying Mrs. Momoh.
I could go on and on, but I have limited space. You can email me at reno@renoomokri.org to continue the conversation.
Reno's Nuggets:
My nuggets for this week centers on money so that people like Mrs. Momoh, who are overburdened by debt can get some financial intelligence that will see the escaping the debt cycle if they apply these wisdoms I gleaned from the word of God.
The big difference between the rich and the poor is that the rich only borrow money to invest while the poor only borrow money to consume. The rich man gets a loan to build a clothing factory, or a retail mall or a small boutique because he knows that the poor man will go to the same bank to get a loan or a credit card to splurge on new clothes to impress people. You see, many people who look rich are not rich simply because they spend too much money trying to look rich and have little left to be actually rich. The term dressed to kill may mean dressing well but it may also mean spending too much on clothes to kill yourself with poverty. The more the poor continue buying clothes and other accessories they do not need, the more the rich becomes richer and the poorer they become. So break the cycle. Never borrow to consume only borrow to produce.
Those who say money cannot buy happiness act as if being broke can buy happiness. Get money even if it cant buy happiness. Money multiplies your ability to do good. The world is evil today not because money is evil but because evil people control money. Ask yourself how helpful the Good Samaritan could have been if he had no money. Now ask yourself how destructive satan can be if his people had no money. Jesus preached and taught about money more than about ANY OTHER THING. So go out there and make money, do not be afraid of it. #RenosNuggets

Woman delivers baby boy on a train at London Bridge station


A Black woman was delivered of a baby boy on a train at the busy London Bridge station on Thursday evening, April 27. She, whose name is not yet known, went into labour on a Southeastern train before being helped onto the platform when it arrived at London Bridge. Realising the baby was on the way, an announcement was made for doctors and nurses to attend,before she was moved to a medical room. She gave birth to her son shortly after 4.30pm.

Dean Parsons, 43, an information assistant at Southeastern Railway, told Evening Standard:


"I work in the control room but was doing work on the platform when a lady came running to my colleague and said there’s a lady on the train which had just pulled in having contractions. She collapsed on a bench on the platform. We called for the first aid officer from the station and put out an announcement for doctors and nurses".
The baby boy arrived before paramedics got to the scene, and he was delivered by an off-duty doctor.
Mr Parsons added:
“It’s always amazing how quickly doctors and nurses will always respond to announcements. They are fabulous. And it was about 3pm, they were just passing and they may have been on their way home from a long shift. Luckily with the new station being built we had a medical room. We managed to get her in a wheelchair, I was saying to her ‘try not to push yet.’
"At first the woman was in pain, she had tears in her eyes, the baby was a week early. But the photo taken shows her beaming"
A post on London Bridge's Twitter account read: Our team did a marvellous job helping to deliver a baby boy into the world. Mother and baby doing great"

Iranian soccer star banned from sport for not wearing hijab

Shiva Amini, an ex-member of Iran's women's football team claims she has been banned from sports after being photographed without her hijab in a friendly match,. A garment which was made compulsory for women in Iran since the Islamic Revolution in 1979.
She was actually on a tour of Switzerland and Italy and took part in an exhibition game alongside male players recently.
Reacting after her ban, she said:
'I never thought that I would one day be prevented from playing for my country because I appeared unveiled and was wearing a pair of shorts in a photo taken on a personal trip outside of Iran,' the football star told My Stealthy Freedom women’s rights campaign.

According to her:
'This was not even an official game. It seems that for the sports community in Iran, the veil carries greater importance than sport.
"I don’t know what our country’s officials are trying to prove by suspending people like me whose primary pre-occupation is to give a better reputation to Iran,' she added.
Amini who spent over 12 years of her life playing for the national women’s Futsal team and winning titles for her country,  moved into regional teams and coaching in 2009.

Dr. Chris Okafor hails Nnamdi Kanu's bail, insists government must do more

 
The Charismatic General Overseer of the Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministries, aka Liberation City, has hailed the bail granted the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), mazi Nnamdi Kanu. The man of God said “Government has done well and deserves to be praised. But they must do better.”
A few months ago, Dr. Chris Okafor had prophesied that Kanu was soon to regain his freedom followed by Sambo Dasuki. He insisted that not obeying the court order in releasing Kanu would portend grave danger for Nigeria.
According to the fiery preacher;
“what I see is very scary. I have said it before, and I’m saying it again now. The government should hasten to release Nnamdi Kanu from that place. Whatever it takes, let them just release him. I see a seemingly minor situation spiraling out of control and morphing into something that is beyond control - very scary indeed”.
The man of God said that God is giving Nigeria so many chances of survival and that those in leadership must take full advantage of it. He continues;
“If the courts have given an order for their release, please do whatever it takes to see that they are released. I specifically saw Nnamdi Kanu and Dasuki regain freedom, first. I said it months ago, but that’s not even the most disturbing part. What worries me the most is the demonic set up that the devil is trying to use these cases to rope Nigeria into. I don’t see our country coming out of it the same, if we allow it to happen. Therefore, I want to go on record right now, pleading with the authorities to please release Nnamdi Kanu and his co travelers, and in fact everyone whom the courts have asked the authorities to release. I speak not just as a concerned Nigerian, but as one who hears clearly from the Lord. We can, as a nation avert a major cataclysmic event, if we heed this call”
The man of God who happens to be the first African born clergy to win the ACCURATE SEER award is known across board for his unrivalled prophetic accuracy.

This latest warning first released during Sunday service at his headquarter church in Ojodu-Berger, a few months ago, has church members and concerned citizens on edge, wondering if Nnamdi Kanu was terminally ill and what could actually happen if he died in custody.

72-year-old grandmother graduates from the same university she dropped out from 55 years ago

72-year-old Darlene Mullins, a grandmother-of-four will be among the 800 students to graduate from Tennessee State University, TSU, on the 6th of May. Darlene will be receiving her degree 55 good years after she started at the institution.

Darlene began her studies in TSU campus in 1962, however, almost immediately, she fell in love with fellow student John Mullins, a senior from East St. Louis, Illinois, who she described as dashing, handsome and “everything to behold".
They got married and she had to quit her education to focus on her new family while John stayed on and graduated in 1964. In putting her education aside, she also had to give up on her dream of becoming an Olympic track star.
"I came to TSU because I ran track. I wanted to go to the 1964 Olympics," Darlene said. "Wilma Rudolph was my idol and I was on my way. I get to TSU and meet the great coach (Ed) Temple, but we bumped heads, because I had to make a choice between his track team or Mr. John Mullins."
When her children became a bit older, Darlene started a career in retail and cosmetology. Her husband, John, also started his own advertising/marketing business after years of working in corporate and government organizations and it turned out successful. In spite of Darlene's success in business, she felt the need to complete her education, so she decided to make it happen and John supported her fully.
"I love this woman so much and always told her whenever you are ready we will go because this is something I knew she always wanted and I will do nothing to hold her back," John said.
In July 2013, the couple moved back to Nashville to allow Darlene to return to TSU and pursue a degree in interdisciplinary studies. At times, she took as many as 20 credit hours a semester, and maintained top grades. With the 25 credits she had accumulated before dropping out in 1963, Darlene is completing her college work in four years. A member of three honor societies, she is graduating summa cum laude. This May, Darlene will be among the more than 800 graduates at the undergraduate spring commencement in the William Jasper Hale Stadium on TSU’s main campus.
"My graduation from college, for me, confirms that I completed what I started more than 50 years ago,” Darlene said. “I am happy."
