SEE WHAT JOBLESSNESS HAS CAUSED,,, GRADUATE TURN YAHOO BOY THEN SNAKE..

READ THIS SHOCKING STORY OF GRADUATE TURNED YAHOO BOY.

I graduated from Olabisi Onabanjo University OOU in Ogun state year 2003 with Bsc in Chemistry. After my graduation I spent 2 year in ijebu loitering around the street seeking job with series of application but non yield a good result. I left Ogun state for Lagos the first Sunday of September 2005 to make a better living as a man. Arriving at the Ajah motor park, I picked up my belongings and proceeded to the next available ATM machine cos I had no money left on me, while in the line at the ATM machine, I felt a touch behind me, to my surprise, it was my classmate back in my primary school days, I was so happy to meet him again cos I had no ties in Lagos but left Ogun state wit the hope of being a successful man. He took me to a nearby restaurant in his Toyota corolla sport car and entertained me with delicious meal and chilled drinks. I quickly explained to him my condition and experience of unemployment, he took me to his apartment in one of the biggest estate in Ajah, gave me a room to stay till I Finally have a place of my own, he fed me and took charge my responsibilities.

I spent weeks loitering the street of Lagos visiting different companies and offices for employment, finally my friend came up with an idea of introducing me to his business.

I was so happy and agreed to join his business not knowing his an internet fraudsters. I had no choice than to join his business called yahoo.

I worked hard for months but got nothing out of it, I didn't give up cos my friend was my backbone financially.

One faithful night, I called upon my friend to show the way how he does his to earn so much money weekly, but he keeps telling "don't give up, every hustler got a pay day" which is true.

I continued but all my effort were fruitless, I begged him to show me the way and finally he told me I had to consult their Godfathers for guidance, I had no choice than to agreed to visit their Godfather the following weekend.

The following weekend we visited his place, he was an old man with bald head and a gray hair, he welcomed us and my friend introduced me to him, he asked me all I wanted, I explained and he answered "my son I already can see your struggle, you need not to worry anymore all you need is a living snake and a nail and leave the rest to me". To me it was all a joke cos I was wondering if he was a juju priest or pastor.

I told him I can't touch a dead snake let alone of holding a living snake, so he charge me a N100,000 to get the materials including his workmanship then told me to come back for my charm in a week time. We went there the following week and he delivered to me a snake skin belt and a nail, explaining " keep the nail on your bedroom wall and use this waist belt everyday, at night hang the belt using the nail I have on my wall, go to sleep and wake up by 2:30 am wait few min and put a plate of bean cake known as (ekuru in Yoruba) below the position of the nail before 3am and go back to sleep". I did as he instructed for years and everything turned around for good. Started getting paid with huge foreign currencies weekly sometime 3 times a week.

Every night I hang my belt it turns to a snake and crawl to everywhere have been to during that day to gather their riches for me the second day. I acquired a lot of wealth luxuries and my story turned to glory.

I did this for over 5 years and its work perfectly till one night in the sixth year of the active cham, I failed to get a bean cake cos it rained heavily, I had no choice than to go to sleep cos I was already drunk after arriving for a get together party.

I went to bed that unfortunate night without having the bean cake in its position, the belt transformed into a snake and left as usual.

I woke around 2:45 am and remembered I had no bean cake, few mins later the snaked arrived and found no bean cake, the snake disappeared immediately. Since that night have not been my self again I do feel a snake living inside me and keeps biting me, I feel series of pain and all I had acquired fled away. Have been living this way for the past a year waiting for my death. Please wait in the Lord and he will bless you abundantly cos no deity give without taking something more valuable in return.

Please share this link let people learn from my mistake.

God bless you as you safe people from the devil and his advocate.

FABRICATED RUMOURS OF BUHARI'S DEATH IS A FAKE RUMOUR.. The president is alive in London

The Senior Special Adviser to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, has reacted to the news making the rounds that the president is in serious life threatening situation.

The Presidential aide said this in series of tweets, yesterday, May 14

According to him, the rumour “is plain lies spread by vested interests to create panic.”

Garba Shehu says that nothing unpleasant has happened to President Buhari and there is no cause for apprehension

Rumours making the rounds are that the president is in life support as a result of the deterioration of his heath and another even more disturbing is another one that claims the president may even have died.

However, Shehu debunked the rumours, insisting that the president is well and alive.

“Baseless rumors are trending again that an unpleasant thing has happened to our beloved President, Muhammadu Buhari.”

“If you have received this information on WhatsApp or Facebook, disregard it because it is plain lies spread by vested interests to create panic.”

“Nothing unpleasant has happened to the President. No cause for apprehension. Thanks for the many calls.”

“Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari Finally goes Home; Body to be Flown back to Abuja Tomorrow

“Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has been confirmed dead in London where he was receiving medical treatment.

“According to Adesina, the length of the president’s stay in London was to be determined by the doctors, saying that the government will continue to function normally under Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.

“President Buhari has transmitted letters about the trip to the Senate and the House of Representatives, in compliance with Section 145 (1) of the 1999 Constitution,” he added.

“Then Nigerian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom told reporters plans are underway to transport the body of the late President back to Abuja where final funeral rites will be held.

"President Buhari had travelled to London in January for a similar check-up and returned to Nigeria in March.

“Before that, in June 2016, the president also travelled to London to seek treatment for an ear infection.

“President Buhari had earlier hosted the 82 rescued Chibok schoolgirls to a light reception shortly before the arrival of Osinbajo, Bukola and Dogara.

“The President, at the reception, described the rescue of the girls as a pleasant second anniversary gift to Nigerians.

“Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo is expected to be sworn into office as the substantive President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“Government is yet to issue an official statement on the President’s demise. He was 74 years.”

OSAMA BIN LADEN'S SON PLAN TO REVENGE HIS HIS FATHER’S DEATH

Osama bin Laden’s son wants to avenge his father’s death, an ex-FBI agent has claimed.
The claims were made in an episode of the US news show 60 Minutes, in which former-FBI agent, Ali Soufan, examined letters found at Osama’s compound after he was killed in 2011.
Soufan was the lead investigator into al Qaeda following the 9/11 attacks.

The personal letters, which have now been declassified, reveal Hamza’s desire for revenge following the death of his father.
Soufan said: “He’s basically saying, “American people, we’re coming and you’re going to feel it. And we’re going to take revenge for what you did to my father…Iraq…Afghanistan”…the whole thing was about vengeance.”
One of the letters is said to have read: “Every look… every smile you gave me, every word you told me, I consider myself to be forged in steel.
“The path of jihad for the sake of God is what we live [for].”

At the time of his father’s death Hamza was 22 and was tipped by security experts as the next head of al Qaeda. He appeared in a number of propaganda as a child, often holding a gun.
Soufan said: “He was a poster kid for al-Qaeda… and for members of al-Qaida, who were indoctrinated with these propaganda videos, he means a lot to them.”
The letters are part of a larger collection of documents found at the compound, which have now been released to the public. As well as letters to and from family members, there are also a number written by senior members of the al Qaeda terrorist group.
Hamza appeared in several propaganda videos for the terrorist group. Credit: PA
Back in 2015 al Qaeda released an audio message of Hamza, in which he called for terrorist attacks in the west. He is also reported to have threatened terrorist attacks in London and Paris, as well as the US.
He was placed on the US state department terrorist watch list in January.

BUHARI MUST NOT DIE OR ELSE NORTH WILL INSIST ON TWO TERMS IN 2019” – NORTHERN ACTIVIST JUNIAD MUHAMMAD..

Dr. Junaid Mohammed, a member of the House of Representatives during the second republic, has said if Osinbanjo takes over from president Buhari, he can not run for president and power has to revert back to the north.


In a chat with PUNCH when asked about his opinion on Asiwaju Bola Tinubu recent statement saying Nigerians should not politicise Buhari’s health,he said: They are far from being sincere. Both of them are playing politics and they are blaming other people of playing politics. .
Clearly, (Bola) Tinubu had the ambition to be vice president of Nigeria. He is blaming certain people for denying him the opportunity of becoming the vice president and eventually the president. .


Clearly, (Bisi) Akande was being alarmist when he said some people are creating confusion. He should tell us who are those people creating confusion? I believe he and Tinubu are the people throwing stones and blaming other people for not being patriotic. .


They imagine that they can win sympathy so that when the time comes for a transition, it will be easy for them and they can justify the eventuality of Buhari’s inability to continue. .


So that they can manipulate their way to take over completely in 2019; one thing I know is that, if Vice President (Yemi) Osinbajo becomes the president from whatever date to 2019, he cannot contest that position again. .


This was the understanding that was reached with Jonathan Goodluck (with the PDP) and he reneged on it and nearly threw the country into a civil war. This time around, those who sign agreements with whomever, must make such public. .
They should also state the time when this agreement will come into force. We cannot now avoid the constitution. If there is the need to follow the constitution we must follow the letter and spirit of the constitution – that is up till 2019. .


Beyond that, power should come back to where Buhari comes from and remain there for a solid eight to 10 years – unless in running for a second term the person loses re-election. There is nothing one can do about that.”

INHUMAN:Fulani herdsmen at it again.. See their new tricks and how they trick this man.

                      Fulani herdsmen 

At least one policeman was confirmed killed in an unprovoked ambush laid by a gang of suspected armed Fulani herdsmen, on a company of police personnel in Abraka, Ethiope East council area of Delta state on Tuesday.

The incident, which occurred along the road around the stretch of Abraka farmlands, which have been forcefully occupied by the dreaded Fulani herdsmen, was one in a series of similar terror acts by the herdsmen around the area.

Just about two weeks ago, the decapitation of a youth, who had gone with his brothers to engage some killer Fulani herdsmen who held their mother hostage in the farming area, had led to a serious uprising that almost claimed the life of a traditional ruler in the area.

The Nation gathered that the policemen, driven in a van, were returning from the disputed Eku/Oria communities’ boundary when the killer herdsmen, who had reportedly blocked the road with cows, opened fire on the policemen, killing one of the passengers instantly and three others seriously injured.

Although official police confirmation put the fatality figure at just one persons, being the Police Inspector who died on the spot, other sources claimed that one more victim of the attack died on the way to the hospital on Tuesday, while the other two victims died yesterday morning at the hospital, bringing the casualty figure to four.

“The team in company of an executive member of the Umiaghwa-Abraka vigilante group, were on their way back to the police station after assessing the area demarcation between Eku and Oria communities, following a boundary dispute between a company operating in the area and the locals, when they were ambushed”, a source said.

When contacted, the State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Andrew Aniamaka, confirmed the attack on the policemen, but clarified that only an inspector died as result of the incident.

“One died and that is the information available, but our prayer is that the others recover. They (the assailant herdsmen) laid an ambush and opened fire on the patrol team and it was so spontaneous, the sporadic shooting at them. The Inspector died and the others are in the hospital, three of them.

“Fingers are being pointed at the herdsmen; they said men suspected to be herdsmen. The suspected assailants just opened fire on them, that’s what we heard, that’s the information available and we are on their trail. We are counting on the cooperation of all to enable us get them. Let them even let us know why they have to fire on people who didn’t go chasing them”, he said.

OMG,: 9ja Actress Mercy Aigbe-Gentry explained why she was beaten by her husband ..

Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe-Gentry who has since removed ‘Gentry’ (her husband’s name) from her social media accounts have revealed in an exclusive interview with Broadway TV the details of the scandal that have trailed her and her husband for the past few weeks.
Mercy had accused the husband of physical violence that has affected her sight and caused her to bleed internally from the physical abuse allegedly melted down to her on Sunday, April 16, 2017.
When she was asked why she came out to say her husband never touched her, she was quick to refute it. “I never for once came out to say that my husband did not beat me. The video people were referring to happened in 2013 when there were rumours of such and I did a video recording alongside my husband to debunk the claim. At that time I had to do it to protect his image and my marriage. I had to do a live video at that time”, she said.


About Beating…
“He beats me consistently.” When probed on why she stayed that long after the consistent beating, Mercy revealed that she did because she wanted a home. “I stayed because I loved him and because everytime he beats me, he begs and gets family and friends to beg me. He promised regularly to change but he never did. When my husband gets angry, he gets physical, not only to me but to anyone. He has done that with my house help who reported him to the Police years ago.
“I stayed because of my children and because a lot of people look up to me. I was a role model of some sort and I really wanted to keep it together. I just wanted a home”.

Mercy Aigbe on Broadway TV Interview set


Why she wants to leave now…

“It’s not like I wanted to walk away but I just feel like we need help. I spoke to my husband’s brother about it. I told him I was going to pack out for some time while my husband seeks therapy. I just wanted to feel safe, that is why I moved my things out. This last beating was brutal. I actually thought I was going to die”.
I’m Still Coughing blood
The Nollywood actress revealed that her husband broke her orbits which will necessitate a surgery for her to see properly. “I’m still coughing and sneezing blood even after three weeks”, she reveals how severe the injury inflicted upon her is.
My Husband Was Sleeping With a Girl
Aigbe also revealed that the last incident started few days before when she discovered that her husband was sleeping with a lady. A lady she claimed to be her friend whom she was close to. This was a regular attitude from her husband; a man she claims has slept with a lot of people close to her, even her PAs.
He confronted him and it led to a huge argument which was turning violent before she had to keep quiet.


He Kept Beating Me
On the day of the incident, Mercy had informed her husband that she was attending a burial of her colleague. After his hesitance, she explained that it would not be fair on the lady since she had promised to be there and even invited him to come along.
Mercy revealed that it was her refusal to go and pick her husband up while she was still at her designer’s place that brought the fury of the man on her. He was said to have driven there and started to beat her in the presence of everybody.
“Immediately, I opened the door, he kept beating me. I was begging him and asking why he was beating me. He said he would destroy my face such that no make-up would fix it and destroy my career. He was acting like someone who was possessed. I told him “Lanre, mo ma bi mo fun e” (translated as “I have a child for you).


I agree that I am a fool
In the exclusive interview, the Nollywood star said she agrees that she was a fool for staying that long even with all the beating and humiliation. “I believed that a wise woman builds her home. That’s why I stayed that long”, she said.


About Cheating
“If he had shown a bit of remorse, maybe things would have been different. He went on saying that I cheated on him several times. I never cheated. That’s why I told him to come out with proof”, she said.
My Husband was in detention for over 7 months
“My husband was in detention for over seven months and I never left him or go anywhere. Why would I want to go now? He says all this is make-up. He is not showing any form of remorse and still sponsoring lies against me.

A must read:: Nigeria lady keeping a white man company for 2. 5k euro weekly without sex

It has been gathered that a successful doctor in his 60s, pays a ‘sugar baby’ student £2,500 a month to keep him company, and he has even bought her an entire bar. Self-confessed “sugar baby”,
Ilham Chocolat, 25, is showered with gifts by her admirer and receives money in exchange for platonic dates.

DailyMail reports that Ilham, who is taking a degree in African studies at
university in Bologna, said that, after meeting him through a friend, it felt natural to keep seeing him – although their relationship has never been sexual.


Meanwhile, her 36-year-old boyfriend of eight months, who she does sleep with, is happy with her ‘job’ as a sugar baby. Although he does not pay to date her, he recently bought her a coveted Tiffany necklace for her 25th birthday.
“I’m not having sex with my sugar daddy,” she said. “He didn’t want anything physical from me. He gives me an allowance of £2,500 a month. He takes me shopping and anything I want he gets me. Whatever I want or need, I can have.
He’s bought me a diamond ring, clothes and taken me to fancy hotels.”


The doctor has also given Ilham a credit card, enabling her to spend whenever she wishes.


But his most extravagant gift, less than a year after meeting, was a bar, which he bought for her in northern Italy – allowing her to fulfil her childhood dream of being a landlady. .

“He enjoys his time with me. He said I made him feel like a small boy and full of energy,"

 she explained. Based in Rome, she sees him bi-monthly and has even introduced him to her family – who approve of her relationship.


He has also helped her launch a charity endeavour, which involves providing washing machines to Africa.
Ilham is so successful she will now be giving advice on snaring sugar daddies at a special summit in London this month. Regarded as one of the best sugar babies in the business, Ilham, who lives in Bologna, Italy, met her ‘sugar daddy’ – a 60-year-old divorced doctor – when she was just 20.

36 students found dead on a bus accident

According to a reporter in CCN. A school bus full of students swerved off a steep road in Tanzania on Saturday morning and fell into a ravine, killing 36 people — 33 of them children, authorities said.
The fatal crash happened in city of Arusha in Tanzania’s northern Karatu District, on the edge of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

“The place where it happened is a hill, with a steep slope, and it was raining when the accident happened,” Aruba Police Commander Charles Mkumbo said.
Mkumbo added investigators were still trying to determine exactly what caused the bus to leave the road.
“We don’t know if the driver was new or if there was a mechanical defect,” he said.
CNN reported that the bus driver and two teachers on board, were also killed in the crash. Two of the students survived but were critically injured.The primary school students, aged between 12 and 13 years old, were on their way to another school to take an exam.
Tanzanian President John Magufuli expressed “great shock and sadness” over the crash.
“The accident has cut short the dreams of students who were preparing to serve the nation,” Magufuli said.
More than 3,000 people are killed each year on Tanzania’s roads, according to government data. More photos after the cut;

Nigerian Senate Last Week: Budget missed, New ministers approved, No Peace Corps

Nigerian Senate

Ahead of the legislative week commencing last Tuesday, expectations were high that the 2017 Appropriations Bill would be laid for third reading and passed in the Senate, as well as the House of Representatives, for transmission to the President. It was just days before the expiration of the 2016 budget, which, based on provision of the 2016 Appropriations Act, became invalid on Friday. But the expectations were not met on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday – the three days National Assembly have plenary sessions in a week. The report on the 2017 budget expected from the joint committee on appropriations and finance chaired by Danjuma Goje and John Enoh respectively was not laid.

Although, the presentation of the report was listed as the first item on the Senate’s Order Paper for Thursday, the Senate Leader, Ahmed Lawan, successfully moved that it be stepped down and taken “by the Grace of God” on Tuesday in the coming week. Reason: Mr. Goje (APC-Gombe) and Mr. Enoh (PDP-Cross River) and their members, were “currently” meeting with their counterparts in the House of Representatives on the last-minute harmonisation of the budget proposal.

In any case, even if the Senate, nay the National Assembly, had passed the budget by Thursday, it would not have been possible, realistically speaking, to make it operational by presidential assent before Friday, expiration of the 2016 budget. A passed budget bill will be transmitted to the president who, reasonably will spend days to consider and review it, with his team, including the vice president, who heads the country’s economic team, before assenting to it. The lawmakers have now spent five months to review the budget proposal presented by President Muhammadu Buhari in December last year.

With the expiration of the 2016 budget without one for 2017, what next? There has been confusion. There has been fear of government shut down. But no. Despite the non-passage of the budget before expiration of the 2016 last one, the development would not result in a government shutdown. This is because Section 82 of the constitution allows the president to authorise withdrawal from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the purpose of meeting expenditure necessary to carry on services of the government until the coming into operation of the new budget.

Speaking on this, Eze Onyekpere, a fiscal policy expert and Lead Director of the Centre for Social Justice said the government is empowered by law to “continue to spend” after expiration of the current budget, until a new budget is approved. The Director of Information at the Ministry of Finance, Salisu Danbatta, also expressed a similar view.

Having failed on budget, what else did the Senate do in the previous week?

First, on Tuesday Nigerian Peace Corps bill suffered set back in the Senate, after both chambers of the National Assembly had passed endorsed the bill. It was just for the Senate to endorse the conference report on the bill; but, alas, some lawmakers, including James Manager (PDP-Delta) and Godswill Akpabio (PDP-Akwa Ibom) rose against the bill, causing the Senate to step it down; thereby sending shock to thousands of youth who saw hope of employment in the effective taking off of the Peace Corps as a statutory body.

Jocularly, Mr. Akpabio likened passage of the NPC bill to legitimization of MMM, Ponzi scheme.

The Senate also referred the screening of 27 nominees for the positions of Resident Electoral Commissioners to its committee on INEC now chaired by Nazif Suleiman, following the suspension of Ali Ndume. The consideration of the nominations had been suspended in April after the lawmakers asked the president to act against Ibrahim Magu, acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, and Babachir Lawal, eventually suspended federal cabinet secretary.

The report of the Shehu Sani-led ad hoc committee on the humanitarian crisis in north east was presented on Wednesday. The report detailed damning cases of procurement fraud, diversion of grains and negligence of duty by agencies of government. The big victim of the report is Mr. Lawal, who is at centre of scandalous bribery and contract fraud allegations. The Senate insisted on his prosecution.

Most importantly, before the report on the north east was presented, the Senate screened Suleiman Hassan and Stephen Ocheni for ministerial jobs. They were confirmed after displaying impressive performances, while responding to questions posed by lawmakers on their respective areas of competence and backgrounds.

Equally important was the passage of the James Manager-sponsored bill for the establishment of the Nigerian Maritime University at Okerenkoko in Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta State, following the report of the committee on tertiary education and TETFUND, chaired by Jibrin Barau.  The university, now ordered for immediate operation by President Muhammadu Buhari as part of Niger Delta peace-building efforts, is to be funded with 15 per cent of the annual budgetary allocation of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA.

But before it becomes a statutory body, it still has two hurdles to scale: transmission of its establishment bill to the House of Representatives for concurrence and, ultimately, to the president for assent.

Then, in what might be shaping up to be a means of exploiting institution to reach private end, Hope Uzodinma raised a Point of Order on alleged mismanagement in import and export procedures as well as the operations of the Nigerian Ports Authority. He wanted the Senate Committee on Marine Transport to join the Customs Committee to unravel the “continued defrauding of the nation”.

Actually, PREMIUM TIMES can authoritatively report, Mr. Uzodinma and the new NPA management under Hadiza Usman, have been at loggerheads over the latter’s decision to terminate a $19 million Calabar port dredging contract with the former’s alleged company, Niger Global Engineering, which had already been paid over $12 million under the previous administration. NPA told the minister the contract was never executed, despite payment of over $12 million to the company, and also alleged fraudulent procurement procedure.

And Good News After all … Anti-Corruption Bill Came up

On Thursday, the report of the joint committee on Judiciary, Foreign Affairs and Anti-Corruption on the Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters between Nigeria and other Foreign States Bill 2017 SB. 224 was laid by David Umaru (APC-Niger). The bill was sent by the executive in January 2016, seeking to elicit international assistance in criminal investigations, recovery, forfeiture or confiscation of property in respect of offences.

There is no report yet on the second one, Money Laundering Prevention and Prohibition Bill, sent same day as the one on mutual legal assistance.

The way the Senate dilly-dallied, and still does, on the consideration of the anti-corruption bills has fuelled anti-legislature criticisms.
