King Sunny Ade’s ex-guitarist, Fatoke Caught with Cocaine

King Sunny Ade’s ex-guitarist, Fatoke Caught with Cocaine: Fatoke Abiodun, Nigeria’s veteran guitarist, who played alongside legendary musician, King Sunny Ade for three decades, has been arrested with cocaine by the NDLEA, the anti-drug agency said on Saturday.

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, said that Abiodun was arrested on 1 January while attempting to board an Air France flight to Italy at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, southwest Nigeria.

“We have made the first arrest in the new year. The suspect, a guitarist by name Fatoke Abiodun was found with 1.575kg of cocaine. The drug was discovered in the false bottom of his luggage during the outward screening of passengers to Italy,” said ,NDLEA Commander the Lagos Airport, Mr Hamza Umar

The agency said the 62-year old grandfather with four wives and many children, is helping narcotic investigators handling the case.

“Fatoke has owned up to the alleged crime blaming his involvement on financial hardship,” said the agency’s spokesperson, Mitchell Ofoyeju.

NDLEA quoted Fatoke as saying: “I played for King Sunny Ade for 30 years before I was unceremoniously retired in 2007. I was unprepared and without severance money I saw the bitter side of life.”

He said his drug trafficking attempt is his first as he did it out of frustration.

“Because at my age I could not provide for my family. I am ashamed of myself,” he was quoted as saying.

NDLEA Chairman, Ahmadu Giade described the involvement of Fatoke in drug trafficking as sad and disappointing.

“It is sad and disappointing for a grandfather to be involved in drug trafficking. This is a bad legacy to his children. This is a good start for the agency in the year and a sign that the days ahead will be tough for drug traffickers. The agency will continue to handle every case in accordance with the NDLEA Act,” Giade was quoted as saying.

The suspect will be charged to court for unlawful exportation and possession of narcotics, NDLEA said.

Iyanya Accused Of Fraud

Iyanya Accused Of Fraud: Opa Williams, show promoter and organizer of the popular show, Nite of a Thousand Laughs has accused the Kukere master, Iyanya of breach of contract for receiving payment to perform at a scheduled event then failing to show up.
Williams was said to have reported the case to the police in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

There are unconfirmed reports that Iyanya’s manager, Ubi-Franklin Ekpong, is currently under arrest at Mile 3 Police Division, in Port Harcourt.

When contacted to comment on the matter, Iyanya dismissed the report that he is wanted by the police.

“Don’t mind them, I am in Abuja,” he said.

Williams is accusing Iyanya of collecting N1.7m to perform at Nite Of A Thousand Laughs in Benin, Edo, and Port Harcourt, Rivers State a few days ago but refused to show up. According to him, all efforts to get through to the artiste proved abortive as his phone was reportedly switched off.

“He has caused me a lot of embarrassment, as people who paid to come and watch him went home disappointed. For 17 years, we have been organizing Nite of A Thousand Laughs and we have built a large followership, I will not allow anybody to destroy the credibility we have as people who deliver on their promises. That’ why we are going to pursue this case (legally) to a logical conclusion and ensure this is the last time Iyanya would do this to anybody,” Williams stated.

“When Iyanya failed to show up at Benin edition, which held on December 26, he called to apologise, promising however to make it up with the Port-Harcourt and Bonny shows. But again, he did not keep to his word,” Williams added.

It was gathered that Iyanya shunned Opa Williams’ event, but performed earlier at another show which held the same day in Port-Harcourt and featured Timaya.

However, Williams’ media Company, Media Image Managers, said, “We are aware of the issue between Opa Williams and hip hop act, Iyanya. The parties are at the moment at Mile 3 Police Division in Port Harcourt. Our client has informed us he is seeking redress in court. However, there are moves to resolve the matter amicably. It is sad that Iyanya would behave in such an unprofessional manner, but then, the police are handling the matter well.”

We shall be watching to see how this ‘case’ gets resolved.

"I Was Offered N5 Million To Sleep With Another Woman's Husband"

"I Was Offered N5 Million To Sleep With Another Woman's Husband": ‘I want you to seduce my husband’ she said

I choked on the glass of juice I was drinking.

Mrs Ali is in her forties, and she’s been married to one of the wealthiest men in the country for 14 years.

She’s not pretty, but not ugly either. Very well groomed and classy, a fit size 12 and mother of two.

‘Ma?’ I said.

She said ‘I will pay you well. I’m not happy. He’s a good husband but I don’t feel anything for him. I need an excuse to leave him.’

For once in my life, I actually didn’t know what to say.

‘I will pay you N5M, I can give u N1M advance now’ she said as she looked into my eyes.

‘Can I think about it?’ I asked

‘You have 24 hours’ she said.

‘Why always me?’ I thought as I drove out of her mansion on Banana Island. ‘How do I get myself into such situations?’

Let me first explain how I know her. Six months ago, I quit my boring office job and started various businesses. I’m into oil and gas. I find buyers for diesel and I make good money. I also sell jewellery to wealthy women. Gold and diamonds mostly. One of my Dubai (ex) lovers introduced me to the business, and it’s been good, I definitely can’t work for anyone ever again.

The wealthy ladies are an interesting and entertaining bunch. Some married, some single. They all loved my jewellery and wanted to be the best dressed at all times. I had to use common sense, charm and flattery to make sure everyone was happy.

Mrs Ali was one of my best customers. She never owed and was very pleasant. We were fast developing an older sister/younger sister relationship. Well, at least that’s what I thought.

I have been involved with many married men before. Some for money and some for fun, but this was different.

I have never been approached by a wife to sleep with her husband.

She said ‘It should be easy. You are his type: slim on top with big hips and bum….’

She seemed to have everything planned. I would pose as a bank marketer trying to get him to put money in my bank and offer to sleep with him in exchange. When we got to it, she would burst in and pretend to be devastated and outraged. The next day, she would move out with the kids.

I couldn’t sleep that night. I tossed and turned. 5M is a lot of money to be paid for just seducing someone.

At 8am the next day I called her and said ‘Good morning Ma, make it 10M, pay through bank transfer upfront and I’ll do it’.

She said ‘Done!’ And hung up.

What would you do if you were me?

Twins Arrested After Fighting Over Who'd Have Sex With Shared GirlFriend

Twins Arrested After Fighting Over Who'd Have Sex With Shared GirlFriend: Two Manchester, Conn., twins figured it isn’t enough for them to share the same genes; they have to share the same girlfriend, too. But the arrangement got violent on New Year’s Eve, according to the Hartford Currant reports.

Aric Ryan Hale and Sean Peter Hale, both 28, were arrested after fighting over who would have sex with their shared 27-year-old girlfriend. The woman is reportedly in an open relationship with the twins and is sexually intimate with both of them “depending on who she chooses to be with that particular day,” police spokesman Capt. Christopher Davis said.

Both men were with the woman at a local hotel when Sean asked his brother to leave the room so that he could have sex with their girlfriend. Aric refused and the twins began throwing punches at each other and destroying the room. They were later arrested at an Ellington residence.

Aric was slapped with two counts each of third-degree assault and disorderly conduct and one count of third-degree criminal mischief. His brother was charged with two counts of disorderly conduct and one count of third-degree criminal mischief.

They both posted $10,000 bail and are scheduled to appear in Manchester Superior Court on Feb. 7.

See What Chinese Explorers Found Under Nigerian Waters

See What Chinese Explorers Found Under Nigerian Waters: Chinese scientific research ship Dayang Yihao, or Ocean One, has returned to east China harbour, almost four months after it completed a nine-day exploration of Nigeria’s waters with Nigerian and Chinese scientists.
The research team, with 15 Nigerians and 66 Chinese crew conducted research mainly on the western part of Nigerian waters, Captain Cao Yezheng.

Back in China, the team has flaunted some of the things found under Nigeria’s water.

Among them a rare crab specie and undersea rock, shown above.

It was the first time for a Chinese research team to lead an operation in an African country’s exclusive economic zone.

“It is a groundbreaking voyage in terms of boosting marine cooperation between the two countries,” said Li Bo, an official with the China Ocean Mineral Resources R&D Association, organizer of the expedition.

The mission will help both sides better understand the underwater landscape and fishery conditions in the area, Captain Cao Yezheng said.

The expedition started in April. After setting sail from Sanya in south China’s Hainan province, the ship sailed 38,000 nautical miles through the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Guinea.

The 245-day voyage allowed researchers to study biological diversity in hydrothermal areas in the Atlantic Ocean for the first time, which will provide valuable information for future biological and geological studies, chief expedition scientist Tao Chunhui said.

The Ocean One is China’s only open-ocean vessel designated and equipped for deep sea research.

“We were able to understand the water chemistry, understand the sea channel, the fishery condition and some other areas that needed to be touched,” Cao had said at a brief reception in Lagos, attended by Dr. Liu Xianfa, consul general of China in Lagos.

Also speaking, Emmanuel A. Ajao, the acting executive director of Nigerian Institute of Oceanography and Marine Research (NIOMR) said the successful scientific joint research program will benefit both of the two countries and the world.

Four Friends Rape Single Lady; Records the Act With BlackBerry

Four Friends Rape Single Lady; Records the Act With BlackBerry: A single lady believed to be in her early twenties has been raped to an unconscious state by four friends around Cemetery Road in Warri, a popular town in Delta State.

The victim, who is now battling for her life in an undisclosed hospital, was said to have boarded a taxi cab with four male passengers from Odion Road to her residence in Aguowe Street, Off Mac Demot Road.

The driver suddenly took a different direction towards Cemetery Road to the chagrin of the victim. The victim said she challenged the driver of the taxi but the other passengers drew a dagger and threatened to kill her if she raised any alarm.

They, thereafter, drove down to a storey building on the Cemetery Road where the miscreants had a field day raping the victim until she became unconscious.

However, luck ran out on them as the matter was reported to the Quick Response Squad of the Delta State Police Command in Warri, who swung into action and arrested three suspects - Akpofure, Seih and Obrakpo - all of Nos. 24, 64 and 66, Cemetery Road, Warri.


Public Relations Officer of the command, ASP Famous Ajieh, who confirmed the arrests in Asaba yesterday, stated that the police were currently on the trail of the fourth suspect, one Ebeme.

Ajieh said the arrested suspects had confessed to the crime, adding that one Black Berry phone used by the suspects in recording the rape action was recovered.

An Open Letter To Tonto Dikeh From An Igbo Man

Dear Tonto Dikeh,

I know you feel beautiful this morning! Well, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. For me, you are nowhere near ‘beautiful’. You are just there. But before I tell you what I really want to tell you, I need to tell you something. There is a lady called Adele. She is a singer. She sings. I need to explain what a singer means, because I understand that you have no brain at all. Because I hate sugar-coating, I am hated by a lot of people. You are just like me too. I will understand when people hate you, but, seriously, if you think Igbo men are nosy, then, you are right. That is your opinion and you must protect it.

I am an Igbo man. I will defend myself right now. Back to Adele. I will tell you everything about this young lady who transformed herself into something very beautiful in the eyes of men. I also understand that you don’t know her, but it won’t hurt if I tell you about her now. This is what TIME magazine wrote about her few days ago: “As talented and appealing as she is, few could foresee how utterly dominant Adele would be in 2011: in an era where even the highest-tier musical acts can struggle to move records, her sophomore effort, 21, sold 17 million copies worldwide and spent 16 weeks at the top of the Billboard 200 chart, the longest for any record since 1998's Titanic sound track. Combined with sales of her previous album, 19, Adele has topped the U.K. charts for 21 weeks — a feat matched only by the bands Oasis and Queen.” Tonto nne m, Adele is 23. You are older. She is not worried about her future. You are. She is focused about her music.

You are worried that no Igbo man will marry you after you’ve created yourself into a bamboo stick. Truth is that I don’t know you personally, but you’ve created a strong mystery around yourself. People see you as a soul from hell. They say you’ve sold your soul to the devil. Me, I don’t know where the devil lives, but I think you have. You even went ahead to show us tattoos at your back. I just didn’t understand why you did that. As an Igbo man, I will never marry a woman who has shown the entire world ‘my tattoos.’ It is not good. I am an Igbo man, so I will need to know who snapped the picture. Maybe, your secret boyfriend? This is the reason why we are bad, abi? Adele doesn’t go around seeking attention. She doesn’t pay anyone to publish pictures of her tattoos. Who knows? She may just have a lot of them. I haven’t seen them. I have seen yours.

There is nothing wrong in you tattooing your entire body, but what is my business with that? Are you not supposed to be an actress? Of course, I understand that you appear in pornographic films now? That is good. At least, you are doing what you know best. But to pick on Igbo men? This is very unacceptable. You insulted a lot of us. This simply shows how unintelligent you are towards anthropology. Men are the same all over the world. Igbo man, Yoruba man, Hausa man. We all treat women in similar ways. We love unconditionally. And we all become nosy when our women start acting like you. If your father is an Igbo man, dearest Tonto Dikeh, you are a monkey. But I will be sorry if you didn’t say that. I only rely on the media, since I don’t know you personally. If you didn’t say it, Tonto, I am very sorry. I will publicly apologise. Yet, I believe you did, because you do so many things after marijuana. If it’s not good for your brain, stop smoking. Listen to Adele’s Someone Like You and you will feel good.

I don’t look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Onyeka Nwelue
