Ex Gov Ayo Fayose Allegedly Romances KWAM 1's Baby Mama Jumoke Odofin

 
Ekiti State former governor, Ayo Fayose wears a visage that naturally attracts the  attention of ladies. He is quite a looker and he is able to hold his own, fashion wise. So far, since he shot into limelight, Fayose has managed to maintain an almost clean record, as regards his relationship with the opposite sex is concerned. However, his affair with a Jumoke Odofin, a Lagos based lady, has proved that the astute politician is still a hot item among the womenfolk.
According to close sources, Fayose is currently involved in a steaming love affair with Jumoke Odofin, a former mistress of Fuji czar, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, K1 De Ultimate. The affair was ignited a few months ago and it has been waxing stronger by the day. Jumoke is a regular sight at Fayose's palatial home in Magodo GRA.
Jumoke is in her early 40's. Her affair with K1 dated back when she was still living in the United States of America, USA. She was introduced to K1, who was then on a playing tour in New York City. The two took to each other and began an affair, which created a swirl of sensation within the social circle in New York. The affair was described as being a very tumultuous one, for it was chatacterized by so many allegations, bothering on infidelity and dishonesty. But it resulted in the birth of a son, Rilwan, who is an exact replica of the Fuji musician.
The fair complexioned and gap-toothed lady later fled to Canada when she ran foul of some immigration laws. Somehow, Jumoke was not able to get the desired respite in Canada, because she encountered some problems while there as well. This led her being 'held' for some months before she was eventually deported to Nigeria. Sources disclosed that Jumoke and K1 share a no-love lost relationship.
However, the Ikorodu born lady seems to have put all those unsavory experiences behind her. She is enjoying her love affair with Fayose, and she has been informing people that her lover has promised to make her the First Lady, should he win the governorship election, coming up in  June 2014. .....culled

Sanusi Lamido Explodes: How vested interests are killing Nigeria

Hello everyone and good morning.
I’m very happy to be here with you. Just to tell you that I am a rather outdated person. I never really knew what the TEDeX event was, and when my daughter spoke to me about it, she said something about youth and development.
I thought I’d just come here and talk about young people and job creation and the usual stuff we talk about until a group of young ladies came to me to explain that I was actually expected to speak in 16 to 18 minutes about one idea that can change the world.
I thought that was crazy because I don’t have any idea that can change the world. And the thing with young people is that they are the most difficult audience to address. I have found myself in situations to address people of your generation and frankly the questions I get are more incisive, more intelligent, more thought-provoking than the questions I get from people of my generation. At all levels.
I am actually just beginning to understand how difficult it is for those of us who were in the analog generation to have a conversation with our children.
I have am eight to nine-year-old daughter that I always see in the morning and she goes to school, she comes back… I’ve never really had serious conversation with her. Two days ago we were at the table with her sister who is about 15 or 16 who then said to me you know dad it’s time for us to start talking about boys. Before I could answer, this younger one who’s eight or nine looks up and said ‘you want to talk to dad about boys? He won’t understand. He is a man. He’s a big boy.’
Now, you can imagine for me I mean this wasn’t the kind of conversation I had with my mother or my father. So for me, having … and of course the next day I had my son who’s in form one talking about chromosomes and X&Y cells on the table. So this is a completely different world for me.
I am going to speak to you today about overcoming the fear of vested interests.
It’s a topic that I have come to be engaged in mentally because I have learnt in the four years also that I have been in Abuja that if we understand, we may begin to unlock the key to change our world. The world of the country in which we live. And what is this country?
It’s a country of 167 million people, as you know. Largest population in Africa. Second-biggest economy on the African continent. In 1960 with the per capita income that was better that higher than per capita income of South Korea. 1960 Nigeria was the preferred investment destination – prefered to Japan according to US investment advisory – which has always had potential but which has never been able to realize that potential.
A country that specializes in exporting what it does not produce and importing that which it produces.
One of the world’s largest producer of crude oil, that does not refine its own petroleum products and has to import petroleum products.
The world’s largest producer of cassava but does not produce starch or ethanol.
A large tomato belt, yet the world’s largest importer of tomato paste.
A country that from my childhood I have heard, had the potentials for being a world power, but everyday we talk about potentials! Everyday we talk about potentials!
Today we still talk about the potentials of Nigeria. And yet China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Brazil… all of those countries have turned the potential that they had into reality.
What are these? What’s the one thing that if I were to ask, what is the one thing that we need to do to break this barrier that faces us?
In four years in Abuja, I’ve come to the conclusion that we need to overcome the fear vested interests.
I’ll talk to you through a little bit of my own experiences and as governor of Central Bank and use that as a basis or as a template for what I think we need to do if change this country.
I became governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria in 2009 and this was in the middle of a global financial crisis. I came to the central bank knowing that banks have problems and believing that these problems were caused by a global crisis, by the collapse in the capital market, the collapse in the price of oil, and that they would be fixed by simply addressing the normal risk management issues in banks.
Shortly after I came in and when we went through investigations, I discovered that the Nigerian banking system was infested with the same corruption of the renter system in this country.
That a number of bank chief executives have taken their banks and fleeced those bands and literally taken away depositors’ money to buy property all over the country, all over the world.
And just like people in ministries or in government agencies or whenever they have opportunities in all companies, the bank’s were themselves a site for rent seeking.
The fundamental character of the Nigerian state is that for decades since we found oil, it has existed, not to serve the people but as a site for rent extraction by a very small minority that controls political power.
It doesn’t matter where this group comes from. Whether it’s north or South or muslim or christian or military or civilian, the State has always being the sites for the extraction of rent with the exception of a few years that we can think of, when we’ve had development.
This is at the heart of the problems of this country.
Now when we discovered this – and I’ll give a few examples, these are well known now, they’ve been published.

APC Secretariat In Bayelsa Will Be Demolished- Gov. Dickson

The ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Bayelsa state plans to demolish the newly unveiled secretariat of rival All Progressive Congress, APC, says Governor Seriake Dickson.
Mr. Dickson said the building housing the party’snew office had long been marked for demolition to allow for road construction.
The APC had earlier accused the ruling PDP of masterminding attacks on its office by unknown persons, who removed the party’s flags and signposts from the newly unveiled secretariat in Yenagoa.
On Sunday, Mr. Dickson directed the police and other security agencies in the state to ensure adequate security at the APC secretariat.
A statement by Daniel Iworiso-Markson, Chief Press Secretary to Dickson said the directive is in keeping with the policy of the administration to ensure security of lives and property of residents and visitors to the State.
“As a responsive Government, we will not abandon what is clearly our constitutional duty to provide security and ensure that people go about their legitimate duties without any form of molestation and same for the APC and any other party that is lawfully registered and recognized as a political party in Nigeria” Mr. Dickson stated.
The governor however appealed to the leadership of the party at the national level to ensure that, steps are taken urgently to resolve the leadership tussle among its rank and file in the State.
He expressed serious concern over the seemingly bitter rivalry among members of theAPC in the state.
“Clearly, the rivalry or rift in the party is between loyalists of former Governor Timipre Sylva and members of the ACN, who have been in the opposition all the while and a part of the new alliance that gave birth to the APC.
“Another thorny issue within the party is that, two of Sylva’s loyalists (Richard Kpodo and Godwin Sidi) have reportedly imposed themselves on the party as chairman and secretary as well as sited the state secretariat atKpodo’s personal property located at the Etegwearea of Yenagoa without due consultation,” the governor said.
Mr. Dickson said the personal building of Mr. Kpodo had long been earmarked for demolition alongside other structures, to make way for the second fly-over bridge to be constructed aroundthe area.
He however assured that government has set aside the sum of N1 billion for the payment of compensation to owners of properties to be affected by the project.
According to him, the exercise is not to witch hunt anybody or group of persons, but purely intended to bring about infrastructural development to the state capital.
Mr. Dickson recalled how, a section of his personal property was demolished, as a result of ongoing expansion of the new Opolo/Elebele expressway, describing it as a price everybody has to pay for the development of the critical infrastructure of the State.
While, calling for the understanding and cooperation of the citizenry in this regard, the governor noted that, the development of the needed infrastructure in Yenagoa and other parts of the State, is a continuous exercise.
According to him buildings and other property that fall within the right of way of such projects will be demolished and compensation paid to their owners.
“Bayelsa is at peace and I want to use this opportunity to call on the APC to ensure that, the problem does not cause a breach of the peace within the State capital and its environs, as Government will do everything on its part to maintain the existing peaceful atmosphere around the state,” he said.

‘My Ambition Is Not Worth The Blood Of Nigerians – President Jonathan

President Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday, said that no Nigerian should kill or maim himself or herself because of his presumed 2015 second term ambition, saying that “any ambition I have at any time is not worth the blood of Nigerians.”
Meanwhile, President Jonathan has told the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur that he would require the support of every Nigerian, not only him (Tukur), to win the 2015 election if he would contest the election.
The President stated this at a meeting with Vice President Namadi Sambo, Tukur, and other members of the National Working Committee, NWC.
Jonathan spoke on the need for peace in the PDP and warned that accusations and counter accusations must stop.
He also said that he would “never, ever expect a Nigerian to spill a drop of his blood because Goodluck Jonathan has some ambitions. Nigerians should always preach peace and unity in all their engagements. This is the only way the country will achieve greatness.”
Speaking at a special church service to mark this year’s Armed Forces Remembrance Day, Jonathan reminded politicians that no ambition was worth the blood of innocent Nigerians, adding that if we continued to kill ourselves, there would be no nation to govern.
He said: “Sometimes I get worried and embarrassed when I hear provocative statements that come from very senior citizens; people that ordinarily will be perceived as senior citizens, who ordinarily should know that the unity of this country is more important than the interests of any individual or a group of individuals. And that the peace of Nigeria is more important than any interest of individuals or group of individuals. Some people even encourage young people to take arms and fight themselves.
“I always say as a politician that I pray all politicians should know that there will be no nation if we kill ourselves. If you want people to come out and vote, why do you threaten them? If you threaten people they will stay in their houses and how will you win election?
“In an occasion like this, we should also admonish ourselves that we should preach peace and unity in all our conversations. If we do that all our problems will be resolved, our security issues will be resolved. If all of us collectively talk about the unity of this country, about peace in this country, then our country will progress and move in the direction we want the country to move.”
The president noted that this year’s remembrance celebration was unique as it was coming at a time that the country is celebrating its 100 years of existence as a nation.
He paid tributes to members of the Armed Forces, saying that their sacrifices had ensured that Nigeria remained one indivisible country, despite the challenges it had faced.
“The Armed Forces Remembrance Day is unique and this year’s programme is more unique because first January marks 100 years of our existence as a nation. It is not easy to get here. The country faced a lot of challenges no doubt about that. Some of us witnessed the civil war.
For us who have survived this 100 years, some people paid dearly for it, some people worked for it like the armed forces. We know the challenges they faced during the civil war. But for their sacrifice, Nigeria would have been more than one nation. They worked for it, some died in the process while some died serving in wars outside Nigeria.
These are the people that we are remembering today. We all have to emulate them. Those of us who are alive, what we can do to honour them is to ensure that whatever we do, whatever we say, whatever song we sing is a song that will bring peace and unity to this country.”
Earlier in his message, the Arch Bishop of the Abuja Diocese of the Methodist Church, Arch Bishop Job Ojei, who read from Hebrew 11:13. And 2 Timothy 4:7, called on Nigerians to stop making “unedifying utterances that will weaken those in leadership” while  those who are power drunk should be rebuked.
“All politicians should give us peace of mind. Some of the utterances we hear from them make us begin to fear. If you need our votes don’t threaten us. If you continue to threaten us no body will come out to vote. Leave 2015 alone. God will take care of it. By hating other tribes or other religion, you will never eliminate those tribes or religion. By causing trouble for a particular religion will not eliminate any religion. God knows why he allowed the existence of other tribes and religion. Every religion is meant to build up the nation,” he said.
While paying tribute to the fallen heroes, the Methodist bishop called on government to look after members of the. Armed forces and the family of those left behind by the fallen heroes.
“Some of the fallen heroes did not only fight for the survival of this country but of other African countries and beyond. The fallen heroes and their blood was to keep Nigeria one. We should always remember them and especially those who are still in service. Nigeria must take good care of them.
They have given us some respite from the Boko Haram attacks. We must acknowledge what has been achieved in the aviation sector, the power sector, by reducing unemployment, by not recruiting thugs and hired assassins. We must stop unedifying utterances that will weaken those in leadership but we must rebuke those who are power drunk” he said.
Those in attendance were the service chiefs, the president of the senate, David Mark, the chairman of the board of trustees of the PDP, Chief Tony Anenih, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Emeka Ihedioha, the mother of the President, Eunice Jonathan, Anyim Pius Anyim,   among several others.

5 drown at Lagos Bar Beach

No fewer than five persons have drowned at the Lagos Bar Beach, Lagos, Western Nigeria, in the last 12 days, says the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA.
One of them was an adult, who was reportedly washed away from the ocean Saturday evening, while in company of his friend, NEMA spokesman, Ibrahim Farinloye told P.M.NEWS.
Four picnickers were also washed away by the ocean on New Year’s day.
The identity of the man who drowned yesterday could not be ascertained, but Farinloye said the man was in company of other members of the Salallahu Ala Monla Nabiya group, a Muslim group that could have come on spiritual cleansing at the beach. The incident occurred around 4:45pm.
According to him, “an adult man in company of friends this evening (Sunday) was washed away in the sea by the Bar Beach. The man and his friends stayed far from the usual area where fun-seekers converged until one of them raised the alarm of the drowning of the man.”
Efforts to save the drowning man was said to have proved abortive as he was swept away by the raging ocean surge.
“Immediately, the beach rescuers made frantic efforts at saving the man but they could not rescue him. This incident has brought the number of those drowned at the Bar Beach to five in 12 days. Four people were drowned on the first of January and efforts to rescue them proved abortive till two days later when their remains were recovered,” Farinloye lamented.
The NEMA spokesman said it had become pertinent for the Lagos State Government to advise people along the coastlines that the effects of climate change are fully here, hence, the need to be safety conscious as people embarked on their various activities in the area.
According to the South West Zonal Command, NEMA, Alhaji Iyiola Akambe, there is need for safety consciousness as ocean tide is currently being experienced, the effect of which the Bar Beach is facing.
“When ice formations in the Polar regions of Canada, the USA and Europe melt and flow into the Atlantic Ocean, the effect is increase in the volume of water which leads to extensive ocean tide beyond the limit of the sea shore, thereby increasing the Continental shelf These are part of the cumulative effects of global warming,” he explained.

13 People Burnt To Death After Jerry Can of Petrol Explodes In A Bus

Thirteen persons, including children, were on Sunday afternoon burnt beyond recognition in a bus accident which occurred in Effurun, Delta.
The accident, which involved an 18-seater bus, also left five of its passengers with various degrees of burn injuries.
An eyewitness told newsmen that the vehicle was coming from the PTI roundabout, but stopped to pick a passenger who allegedly carried a jerrycan filled with petrol.
One of the survivors, Mr Martins Nwaowolo, said there were 18 passengers in the bus, including children and a pregnant woman.
“The driver stopped at the roundabout to pick a woman carrying a jerrycan, and in less than two minutes after the woman entered the bus, the jerrycan burst into flame.
“Only myself, the driver, his conductor, a pregnant woman and one other survived the incident, but with various degree of burns”, he said.
However, the Delta Commissioner for Transport, Mr Ben Igbakpa, who visited the scene, said that it was wrong for people to be moving about with petrol.
Igbakpa, however, described the incident as unfortunate.
“It means that we have to do a lot of monitoring and public enlightenment on the hazards of carrying inflammable substances into a vehicle”, he said.
Meanwhile, men of the Nigerian Police, Army and Road Safety Corps were seen busy evacuating the victims from the burning bus. (NAN)

MIRACLE: How General Overseer’s Wife Resurrected Before Her Burial

 Mrs Foluke Achudume, wife of the General Overseer and Founder of Victory Life Bible Church (VLBC), Abeokuta, Ogun State, came back to life after she was confirmed dead by doctors.
She testified to her congregation on Sunday of how she went to heaven and her experience there.
Read her testimony below:

“What I experienced was like being a drama piece. I saw myself coming out of my body, and going into a white cloud. I didn’t know where I was going, but I was asked to look down, only to see my husband, children been consoled, as my burial was been planned. I saw people crying.”

“Later, I stretched my hand and I was taken to a glorious place, where I saw people in white garment welcoming me, telling me to come in. I joined them, but a big hand stretched out, with a voice saying the place is not for me”.
“I later found myself in another place, more glorious and beautiful, I was not allowed in again, but I was taken to a third place, where I was not allowed again. Then a voice came telling me to look down, and told me I should return to where I was coming from, but I was struggling to join the group. Then I heard a thunderous voice and it was at that point my eyes opened.”
“I stand to tell you that God has power over death. The consultants had confirmed that I bled to death after the operation. If you understand what I went through you will realize that life is vanity. By that experience everything in life to me has lost value. It was not a joke, I appreciate God, because God made me to understand the mystery of life”.

Also speaking on the incident, her husband said when the doctors told him his wife was dead as a result of the operation because she bled to death, he said she didn’t die but went on a visit in faith.

President Asks Sanusi to Resign For ‘Leaking’ $49.8bn Unremitted Funds Letter

In a move that may be bad for the image of a leader that has been criticised for his stance on corruption, President Goodluck Jonathan has asked the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, to resign immediately on the grounds that the letter Sanusi wrote to him on the unremitted $49.8 billion oil revenue to the Federation Account, was leaked to former President Olusegun Obasanjo by the CBN governor.
Just months to the end of his tenure as governor, Sanusi has however refused to resign, even as he denied leaking the letter to anyone.
He was said to have informed the president during the heated telephone exchange that he could only be removed by two-thirds of the Senate as required by law.
The president was reported to have called Sanusi and accused him of leaking the letter to Obasanjo, which enabled the latter to use it as one of many allegations he levelled against Jonathan in his letter titled: “Before It is Too Late”.
According to a source in the presidency, the president was very angry and was not prepared to allow Sanusi proceed on his terminal leave in March, asked him to tender his resignation before the close of business last Tuesday.
Angered by the president’s position, Sanusi, who denied that he had leaked his letter to Obasanjo made it clear he would not be forced out, except he is removed by two-thirds of the Senate.
He also told the president that the letter was available in the presidential villa, available in the finance ministry and available in the central bank and wondered how he (Sanusi) could have leaked the letter, which was so widely available, to a former two-term president of Nigeria who has his people all over the place.
Sanusi also expressed his surprise to the president that he was the one being asked to resign instead of the president to ask those responsible for the non-remittance of the funds to resign.
Sources say his response threw the president aback, degenerating into a heated exchange during which Sanusi told the president that as the federal government’s Chief Economic Adviser, mandatorily required to bring issues of critical economic importance to the attention of the president, he had done a patriotic duty to his country.
“He informed the president that it is necessary to deal with the issues and not the letter that had been leaked since it has since been established that it was not $49.8 billion that had not been remitted to the Federation Account, but $10.8 billion, which was still in dispute and by any stretch of imagination was still a large sum.
“Sanusi felt he was being forced out for doing his patriotic duty to his country by drawing attention to the unaccounted funds. He only has two months to go, so this was a ploy to force him out and destroy his career and reputation.
“He knew this and for this reason, refused to throw in the towel as requested by the president,” a source familiar with the conversation told Thisday.
The president was said to have however remained adamant and insisted on the CBN governor’s resignation.
Sanusi had written to the president in September informing him that, among other issues, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) had not remitted $49.8 billion of oil revenue to the Federation Account over a 19-month period.
Although the letter was not made public until December 4, 2013 when it was leaked, Obasanjo referred to it in his letter dated December 2, 2013, to the president.

4 Soldiers Dismissed For Leaving Their Duty Post To Rape Seven Commercial Sex Workers

 A prosecution witness, Inspector Olamide Olayemi said the four dismissed soldiers charged with rape of seven commercial sex workers in Abuja left their guard duty-post to commit the crime.
Olayemi stated this while giving evidence at an FCT High Court in Abuja on yesterday where the dismissed soldiers, Nse Eywdip, 33; Ugwu Mathew, 23; Emezien Uzonna, 24, and Efosa Ikhomoregbe, 23 are being tried.
They were arraigned on a 12-count charge bordering on conspiracy, rape, assault and armed robbery on January 23, 2013.
Olayemi, while being led in evidence by the prosecutor, Mr Adama Musa, told the court that on the day of the incidence, they were supposed to be on duty at the Airtel Mast in Wuse 2.
“The accused persons left their guard duty-post with their Hilux Van, armed with their official riffles. The accused persons arrested the victims and collected N104, 000 from them which they shared among themselves,’’ he said.
The witness, who was also one of the investigating police officer, told the court that he took the statement of the fourth accused (Ikhomoregbe). “The fourth accused told me that he got only N1, 500 as his share from the amount they stole from their victims. He also told me that his colleague, Matthew, the second accused, had sexual intercourse with one of the victims with her consent,” he said.
Olayemi also told the court that he led the team of police officers who took the victims to the Wuse General Hospital, where they were examined by medical doctors and that a medical report was sent to the police. He further told the court that at the end of their investigation, the police filed a case of criminal conspiracy, rape, assault and armed robbery against the four soldiers.
After listening to the testimony, the presiding judge, Justice Mudashiru Oniyangi, adjourned the case to February 19 for continuation of hearing.

The Brazilian Man Who Thinks He Is Jesus (Photos)

Meet 66-year-old Brazilian man Inri Cristo who believes he is the reincarnation of Jesus Christ.
Inri dresses like Jesus, says his mission is to prepare the elect for the formation of the new earthly society, which will strive to fulfill the Creator's will.
He has spent 35 years preaching and has ‘hundreds of followers’ from around the world, including the UK, Britain and France, some of whom live with him at his ‘church’ compound outside Brasilia.
As ‘Jesus reborn’, he gave himself the name Inri which means - Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews' and Christo which means - Christ.
But despite seeing himself as Jesus reborn, Inri refuses to celebrate Christmas saying it is just a day where 'the rich humiliate the poor'.
‘It is a day when the little sons of the rich can show the gifts they received while the poor children only get a crumb,’ he said. ‘So it is a very sad day for anyone who sees things with the eyes that I see.’
Inri says he first experienced the 'revelation' that he was Christ during a religious fast in Santiago, Chile, in 1979.
Since childhood he had been following a powerful voice that 'speaks in his head' but it was only on this occasion that it told him:
‘I am your Father. The God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob.’
He now runs his own church, the 'Soust' (Suprema Ordem Universal da Santmssima Trindade), located on a lush farmland outside of Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, which he calls the 'New Jerusalem'.
He and his followers survive on homegrown fruit like bananas, avocados and mangos as well as a vegetable garden.
There's also a chapel where Ingra speaks to his followers every Saturday morning and a kennel for the dogs that guard the complex.
Critics believe he is mentally ill - an accusation he firmly denies.
He said:
I can be crazy but not dumb. Madness is different from dementia. It is the mother of philosophers, prophets and inventors.

Pathetic Story Of A Nigerian Whose Kidney Was Allegedly Stolen In Maylaysia.

Hey Dearies,this is viral online and i thought i should share it,just in case you are on your way to Maylaysia oh.
I'm 26 years old and last year after graduating from one of the Polytechnics in Nigeria, I couldn't get a job.I needed to travel out of the country to better my life of that of my family.
I planned on going to Turkey but fell into the hands of dupes who gave me fake documents and I was thrown out of the Turkish embassy during my interview and
almost got arrested.
Standing outside, I met an old acquaintance,a  young guy I met through a mutual
 friend. I found myself telling him about my plight and how I had been duped into paying for fake documents.I told him how my dad sold his plot of land to ensure I traveled.
How was I going to tell them their money went down the drain?
He then told me the best thing was to tell them I got the visa , so when my dad sends money for my flight ticket, I use it to go to Malaysia.He said he had an agent who would help me and also give me a job once I get there.He said several guys had gone to Malaysia too.
  I told my excited parents that I got the Visa and would need money for my flight.  I raised 600 thousand naira which was sent to the agent I had never met and was given a 1 month visa . I got to Malaysia expecting to see the agent but never did. It was 3 weeks, no job,and paying my hotel bill, I had exhausted all my money.The so-called agent I had been calling suddenly switched off his phone. It was one week to the expiration of my visa.
So I decided to step-out and find other Nigerians who could help me.I was
unsuccessful as the two guys I knew way back in Nigeria were club bouncers
 and had no connections.Was shocked because they claimed to be big boys.
I was on my way back from one of my unsuccessful outings.I  was wondering what to do when a short Indian man intercepted me."Hello my friend  you looking for a job? I have a job for you.How will you like to earn 3 thousand dollars a month ? I was speechless.
He told me '"Lets go and have a drink and talk about it"
I was so happy..He took me to a spot not far from where we met.It was like a private house and I saw two other Black boys who the man introduced me to saying they were also beneficiaries of the job.I was just about to ask what the job was when a waiter brought me a drink and he told me to give him a minute to bring papers which would
show me my job description.
I don't know what happened next .I found myself in an uncompleted building.I was confused at first and felt i was dreaming.But the cold was unbearable to be a mere dream and the sharp pain on the side of my belly was too intense to be real .I saw my shoes on the floor .I was confused. How did I get here? What about the job? Did I loose my chance by getting too drunk? Then I recalled I didn't drink alcohol.
I decided to put on my shoes when I noticed my legs were so swollen my shoes didn't size me anymore..
I left the place with no money in my pocket, didn't even know where I was.I tried to ask some Arabs to help but noone even listened to me. As I kept walking, I saw 2 security men and walked up to them.They were Nigerians and after telling them about my plight, they took pity on me and asked me to sleep in the factory where they worked for the night .They gave me some pain killers to relieve me.But advised me to go for a test the next day. The next day I told them I had no money to even go for a checkup and I was probably going to be deported as I had just one week for my visa to expire.
The elderly one told me there was a job opening as a life guard at some private beach. I couldn't be more grateful.
I took up the job but the reoccurring belly ache which I kept suppressing with pain killers was getting more intense.
Then after rescuing someone who almost drowned, the intense stress which accompanied that made me fall ill.And after several tests, they couldn't ascertain what was wrong with me.I had used up all the little money I earned from my job as a life guard and I had no option but to give myself up to the authorities so I could be deported since I couldn't pay for my flight ticket .
I returned to Nigeria seriously ill and my parents took me from one hospital to the other and they couldn't detect what was wrong with me.We went to several prayer houses even very popular miracle pastors who claimed it was evil people from my village chasing me.Destiny killers they said.I was ordered to fast for 21 days and four days later I collapsed .
Then my father ran into an old classmate who owned a hospital.He told him
about my plight and he told my dad to bring me over.
He ordered a full scan to be run on me and while I was alone, he came to me
 and said" Young man, why did you have one of your kidney's removed?" I
was shocked 'My Kidney? Sir I don't get". He smiled"At least if you want to
have your kidney removed, do it well.You must have earned a few millions
 from it so what did you do with the money ? Why didn't you treat yourself properly?
I was confused and i insisted i knew nothing and he showed me the scan.Yes
one kidney was missing.He also said the closure was perfectly done and skin
was used to cover up the stitch.He said only Indians did such perfect cover-ups.After insisting there was a mistake somewhere ,the doctor said the fact was one of my
kidneys was removed and he told me the dangers of selling my kidney which many Nigerian youths do these days to make quick cash.
I was in tears and I told him I didn't know what he was talking about then I
 recalled the Indian man I met who told me he had a job for me .
It hit me that that man had me drugged and took me to an unknown place and had my kidney removed and then dumped me in that building.
Now I'm a 26 year old man who put my parents through hell and I'm now living on one kidney and very ill.I keep hoping this one doesn't develop a problem .I want youths to be careful of where they go to and who they interact with.I just found-out its a cartel and several African jobless youths have been trapped and have their kidneys removed without their knowledge ..
Somewhere ,someone is living on my kidney not knowing it was stolen....I wish that person well..It's a wicked world..
*In as much as i want to believe this story,the loopholes are too much.
How many days did he lie down in that uncompleted building?
How come he didnt notice the stiches at the side where it hurt him?
even if the indians covered it up very well,surely he must have checked out his skin
where it hurt?

Maheeda and daughter strike a pose

I am 31 and I had my daughter when I was 17. I do not think this is going to affect her in any way. If my mother did something like this; there is no way it would have affected me.
