Custom officer and wife arrested for buying twin newborn babies for N500,000

An officer of the Nigeria Customs Service simply identified as Azeez and his wife have been arrested by the Ogun State Police for allegedly buying a set of 4 day-old twin babies for N500,000 in the Sango Ota, Ogun state.
According to Punch Metro the couple were arrested by the Sango Police Division last Thursday and the babies have since been recovered from them and the couple  have been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Command headquarters in Eleweran, Abeokuta.

A police source said:

“The incident happened last Thursday. The police got a tip-off that the couple had gone to Ibadan, Oyo State, to buy twin babies for N500,000. We then moved in on them and discovered it was true. 

The twins were just four days old on the day of the arrest. We have not seen the parents yet. 

Azeez said in his statement that he and his wife already had a child together but they had tried to have a second child for 23 years and so they decided to purchase the twins. The suspect told the police that he paid N500, 000 for the babies.

The babies were with the police until Friday, when they were transferred to Abeokuta.

The suspects were taken to the anti-kidnapping section of the SCID. The parents of the babies haven't shown up to claim them but the police said the babies are doing very fine.

The Ogun State Deputy Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the arrest. He added that investigations were still ongoing.
He said:

“The arrest is true. The case has been transferred to the SCID, and it is being handled by the Anti-human trafficking department. The suspects are still undergoing investigation. During our investigations, we will get across to the parents and find out the circumstances that led to the disappearance of their babies. 

We will also get across to the NCS authorities to show the level of complicity of their officer. I cannot disclose the suspect’s name, because we are still investigating. He was arrested with the wife.

CITY PUNISHED US AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY - PARDEW. by Sacha Pisani

CITY PUNISHED US AT EVERY
OPPORTUNITY - PARDEW
Sacha Pisani
The Crystal Palace boss offered no
complaints after watching his side get
outplayed by a rampant Manchester City
in the League Cup on Tuesday
Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew said his team
were punished at every opportunity by a
relentless Manchester City, who made the most
of their opportunities in a 5-1 rout.
Palace's League Cup campaign came to an end at
the fourth-round stage on Wednesday as Kevin De
Bruyne guided City to the quarter-finals.
Pardew and Co. trailed 2-0 heading into the break
after De Bruyne added to Wilfried Bony's 22nd-
minute opener, and the visitors never recovered.
Kelechi Iheanacho and a Yaya Toure penalty put
City in cruise control, while Damien Delaney gave
Palace something to cheer about in the closing
stages before teenager Manu Garcia completed
the rout in Manchester.
Speaking afterwards, Pardew had no complaints
about the result against the Premier League
leaders.
"It was a tough night for us, we were short on
numbers tonight and the team lacked a bit of
balance," Pardew said via Palace's official
website.
"A lot of our flair players were injured but
Manchester City played well tonight and took
their chances and unfortunately we didn't.
"Almost every time City had a chance they
punished us, particularly in the first 60 minutes
and that was very much the story.
"We had three or four good chances and it is not
often that you get that so you have to take them
and we were then vulnerable particularly when
they go two ahead.
"We should have scored before they did and then
at 2-0 had a great chance but we didn't make the
most of them. They deserved the victory so we
have no complaints."

IHEANACHO WILL ONLY GET BETTER - PELLEGRINI By Matthew Sherry

The Manchester City coach has tipped
the 19-year-old to keep on improving
after impressing in the 5-1 League Cup
win over Crystal Palace
Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini expects
Kelechi Iheanacho to go from strength to
strength after his starring role in the 5-1 League
Cup win over Crystal Palace.
The 19-year-old put in a fine performance as City
eased into the last eight, his goal adding to
strikes from Wilfried Bony, Kevin De Bruyne,
Yaya Toure and Manuel Garcia.
Those efforts were enough to secure a
comfortable win over Palace, for whom Damien
Delaney grabbed an 89th-minute consolation.
And Pellegrini believes Iheanacho's display will
prove a foundation for future improvement.
"It was very important for him," said the boss in
quotes on the club's official Twitter account.
"He's not just a striker. I see how he works
every day. He will continue to improve.
"He's not just a finisher. He always plays with
his head up. He can play behind the striker."
City are the favourites to lift the trophy after
Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United exited
this week.
Yet Pellegrini is refusing to look too far ahead,
adding: "We're not thinking about the final in
February. We're thinking about Norwich on
Saturday and then Sevilla."
One worry for Pellegrini was right-back Pablo
Zabaleta being stretchered off just after half
time with an apparent knee injury, although the
manager was unable to provide any form of update
on the Argentinian.
"We will see how he is tomorrow," Pellegrini said.

'You are stupid!' - Mourinho hails Chelsea stars for answering their critics

The Blues boss suggested his players had rebuffed the doubters in their defeat to the Potters on Tuesday, insisting the side played well throughout the match

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says his players answered their critics despite being knocked out of the League Cup by Stoke City, going down 5-4 in a penalty shoot-out at the Britannia Stadium.

The Blues went behind to Jon Walters's strike but looked to have rescued matters when Loic Remy equalised in stoppage time and Stoke saw Phil Bardsley sent off.

However, the Potters' held on to take the tie to penalties, prevailing 5-4 after Eden Hazard missed the crucial kick, but Mourinho defended his players after yet another defeat.

"What the players did tonight is face some people that write and speak, and said: 'You are stupid'," he told reporters.

"What some people write and say is really bad for the players. Maybe they think my players are like them when they were players. My players don't do that, they tried everything.

"If anyone saw the second half the other day, playing with 10 men the way they did, it's a lack of respect for the players."
Mourinho also insisted he was not downhearted despite being knocked out of the competition with the Blues now set for another tough test on Saturday when they take on Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.

"We played so well. This first half could finish the game at half-time. Then second half, goal, and they keep going," he explained. "I told TV last year we won here 2-0. We didn't play 25% of what we did today.

"A few months ago I won a few matches and I was champion. People were saying there are things more important than results," he added. "Now, people say results are the most important thing. It's a contradiction

"It's difficult. It's more difficult when you play bad and lose than play well and lose. We go with sadness but a positive feeling."

Who's to blame for Chelsea's collapse? Why Mourinho is facing the perfect storm at Stamford Bridge

The Blues boss has made erratic selection decisions this season, but has been let down by his players and owner Roman Abramovich, who failed to back him in the transfer market
Jose Mourinho’s parting comment at the Britannia Stadium was that of a man who feels he has been treated differently from, and worse than, everyone else. “It is a bit strange because when a few months ago I won so many matches and was champion of England, people were saying there were some things more important than the result,” he complained. “Now results are everything.”
But then results have always been everything to Mourinho. He has defined himself by them, partly because they have been better than everyone else’s. Now they are extraordinarily poor. Chelsea have become also-rans, out of the title race and the Capital One Cup before November arrives.
It has prompted a search for a scapegoat which, as Mourinho is under particular pressure, is pointing to the manager’s door. And, indeed, as he endures the worst season of his career, he has mishandled and misjudged much. Yet blaming Mourinho alone is to deflect from a wider problem. This is a catastrophe caused by the failings of the many, not the few.


Mourinho ranks prime among them. His tried-and-trusted tactics have failed, on and off the field. His teams have lined up in their favoured 4-2-3-1 formation as ever. But they have been caught on the counter-attack more than usual, conceded from set-pieces in uncharacteristic fashion and been overpowered in midfield in ways they were not in the past.
The Portuguese has adopted his favoured approach of trying to instil a siege mentality. The world, he has suggested, is conspiring against Chelsea. Yet if they have been luckless at times, the conspiracy theories have backfired. The squad's indiscipline, and their manager’s, means their name has been dragged through the mud. That matters at an image-conscious club. Many of the refereeing decisions that have gone against them have been perfectly reasonable. Mourinho’s mood has infected his players and at times they have seemed more intent on waging war with officials than defeating opponents.
Yet those players have to shoulder responsibility for the marked decline in their performances.  Diego Costa accepted his share by admitting he returned from his summer break overweight. Mourinho trusted his charges, granting them more time off than many of their peers. That seems a forgivable mistake, but they have never recaptured their sharpness. The two Serbs, Nemanja Matic and Branislav Ivanovic, may have been overworked last season. It does not fully explain how both appear to have lost a yard of pace this season.
Cesc Fabregas has one assist in his first 10 Premier League games. This time last season, he had 11. Eden Hazard has gone 18 Chelsea games without a goal, his longest drought for the club. This may be the perfect storm of individuals playing badly in a collective crisis. Somewhere along the line, however, reputations have to be justified, reminders produced of why these players were deemed the best in the league in their positions. Only Willian has enhanced his standing.
Mourinho has not helped with erratic decision-making, wielding the axe to John Terry, Gary Cahill, Matic and Hazard but persevering with Fabregas and Ivanovic until injury compelled him to take the struggling right-back out of fray.
But he has a point if he privately thinks the club have hindered him. His doubts about the £20 million left-back Baba Rahman, granted a mere 93 minutes of Premier League football, have been advertised. It means he cannot swap Cesar Azpilicueta to right-back. Hence the sight of the lumbering central defender Kurt Zouma gamely attempting to impersonate a full-back. West Ham exploited his unfamiliarity with the position with clinical cleverness.


And in 2014 Chelsea were the most decisive buyers in a transformative transfer window, signing Fabregas and Costa early on. By 2015, they were dithering and denied, thwarted in their attempts to bring in John Stones and Paul Pogba, who would have strengthened the spine of the side, and fiddling at the fringes of the squad. Pedro was the closest thing to a superstar addition. He scored on his debut, but his only subsequent goal came against Walsall. Papy Djilobodji, whose solitary minute of football came against the Saddlers, seems the strangest signing of the summer.

Radamel Falcao may be the worst. Bringing in a busted flush as their first arrival sent a terrible message. Chelsea had displayed a clarity of thought in earlier windows, bringing in Matic and bringing back Thibaut Courtois. Not this time. The lines of communication between Mourinho and the board seemed blurred. Abramovich has to consider the influence of his own allies in any analysis of Chelsea’s struggles.
There is a further factor. Mourinho has pleaded bad luck at previous times in his career. Now he has actually suffered from it. Losing Courtois for three months, so soon after Petr Cech’s sale, was a case in point. Should Costa’s rib injury, sustained at Stoke on Tuesday, prove serious then Chelsea will be without both their premier goalkeeper and goalscorer.


Games tend to be decided in either box and the margins between success and failure can be narrow. Fabregas was fractionally offside when an equaliser was disallowed at West Ham; within a few minutes Matic was sent off and the complexion of the match changed. Chelsea have encountered in-form opponents – Southampton and Everton’s best performances of the season have definitely come at their expense – and seemingly unbeatable goalkeepers alike. Jack Butland’s penalty save from Hazard, rubber-stamping their Capital One Cup exit, proved as much.
Yet the Belgian’s spot-kick was not perfect. As Chelsea are discovering, every error can be costly. They have made too many, and there are guilty parties all over Stamford Bridge.

Yaya Toure reveals why he stayed at Manchester City

The Ivory Coast midfielder says he enjoys a bond with the Chilean that he has never experienced with another manager, and that the club's players vowed to bounce back this season
Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has suggested manager Manuel Pellegrini is the only thing keeping him at the Etihad Stadium.

Toure had appeared close to leaving the club on a couple of occasions in recent years, including last May when his agent, Dimitry Seluk, claimed the City hierarchy "don't really care" about the midfielder over their failure to acknowledge his birthday.

He had also been linked with a move to Roberto Mancini's Inter in the closing months of last season.

But Toure, whose brother Ibrahim died last year, says Pellegrini has been a father figure in tough times and was a key factor behind his decision to stay with the Blues
"I've stayed because of Manuel," he said in a book called Pellegrini's Methods. "He always talks to me, giving me some piece of advice. He has been aware of my life off the pitch.

"He has been like a father to me in difficult moments. I have never felt like that with another coach."

Toure also added that he and his team-mates vowed to bounce back from a trophyless 2014-15 campaign: "Before this season, all the players had a talk and we promised the boss we would recover our level.

"We had to do it for him, for us and for the fans — we have to win important things this season."

Things To Consider When Choosing An Event Venue

. Type of event: Needless to say, the ambience of the venue needs to be in tune with what the event is all about. Corporate seminar at the beach, anyone? It’s an extreme example but you get my point. Also, having at least a rough idea of what activities will take place at the event won’t hurt.

2. Number of attendees: Yes, I know you were expecting no more than 200 people but 250 showed up, it happens. The idea is to always try to get a place that can accommodate at least slightly more people than the upper limit of your estimated number of guests. If it’s a public event and you can’t afford the extra space, clearly state the number of spots available from the get go.

3. Type of Guests you’re inviting/hoping to attract & Image you’re looking to portray: Ranging from social status to age, you may want to tailor your venue choice to suit these purposes. Will there be kids present at the event? Make sure the venue is well designed to accommodate them. Also, is there a certain Image you might be looking to portray? Choosing the right venue(s) for your events can do wonderful things for your brand.

4. Cost/Budget ratio: At the end of the day, everything has to be tailored to suit your budget. In as much as you want to have a rocking venue, the quality of food and music should not suffer as a result.

5. Location: If the people attending live within a particular vicinity, picking a venue close by is of the essence. If the event is to be attended by people from varying locations, a centralised location is ideal. If people will be required to travel, having good hotels/guest houses close to the venue is a great idea. Also, accessibility is very important. You don’t want people having to employ the services of a GPS, a compass and an okada rider before they find it. Also, can guests PARK their vehicles conveniently? The venue itself may not have great parking but if you can find other surrounding facilities that can serve that purpose, that will suffice too.

6. Services & amenities that come with the venue
   Some questions to ask are:

a. Does the venue come with good catering services? (emphasis on good)
b. Can you choose to come with your catering team or must you use theirs?
c. Is there a cleaning crew available or do you have to assemble yours?,
d. Does the venue come with good audio visual equipment (projector, quality sound system, etc)
e. Does it have good chairs, tables, decorations (in case you’re looking to save cost and can’t pull it off yourself. Of course, you would have to consider if it matches the theme of the event).
f. Are the Bathrooms selfie worthy?

7. Management issued venue conditions: There could be some restrictions as to what you are or aren’t allowed to do at the venue. Be sure to have these explicitly pointed out so as to avoid unpleasant surprises.

8. Acoustics: Basically, these are the qualities a room possess that determine how sound travels through it. It’s very important that the quality of sound at your event is on point. No echoes please.

Life After The NYSC: The Grim Reality! by dearpreye

To start with, if you haven't started pondering what will become of your life and career after the NYSC, you're already in a very big trouble.

Ours is a society where parents and guardians believe that training their kids or assisting adolescents end the moment after their graduation from the higher institutions. I believe that's terribly wrong BUT that's the relentless reality. Once you're out of the higher institutions, you're ON YOUR OWN.

Whether you like to believe it or not, there's no free lunch waiting for everyone after their NYSC. Except your parents are top politicians, the average one of us will have to fight for their survival after the NYSC.

Our lives are rated in time. So to waste time is to waste our lives. I wish I could drop all I discussed recently with a neighbour when she told me she will be going for her NYSC very soon.

To many this one year is a year of enjoyment and frivolities. If you're in that category, perish the idea. This one year is one of the most important period in your life. This one year should be spent planning your future, pondering what exactly you want to do, where you'll love to work, where you'll like to live, what you'll do if there's no job in the first one or two years. The fact is, many shall be worn out jobs in their first few years after the NYSC. You may say GOD FORBID, but again that's the bitter truth.

As a corper or prospective one, I advise you save at least 10% of your allowance EVERYONE MONTH. You've got no choice. The first year after service is usually the most challenging for most graduates, because that's the very first time they're experiencing the reality of life. The euphoria of school and NYSC are over and the brutal reality stare them in the face. Save your money. Have an idea what you may do. Plan your years ahead.

Learn a skill. The present economic times are challenging. Folks are losing jobs everyday. The prevailing economic downturn may be around till next year. You need to be prepared. This news should discourage you, instead let it make you become very proactive and forward thinking. If there's any skill you love to learn, this is the best and most appropriate time.

It takes a lot more than being a graduate to succeed. It takes planning, plan B, focus, discipline and determination to succeed. Being without a job is the worst position one can find themselves.

With a little discipline and vision, impending joblessness and the accompanying depression can be avoided. Be smart.

Like the Boys Scout Motto: Be Prepared.

You know you're a Superfan...If you talk about your club like this

60% of illegal arms in S/East produced locally —Presidential C’ttee

By Chimaobi Nwaiwu
Nnewi—Presidential  Committee on Small Arms and Light Weapons, PRESCOM, stakeholders’ sensitization forum, held at Enugu for South East zone, has revealed that about 60 per cent of the illegal arms in the zone are produced locally.
Professor Aloysius Okolie, who is the South East coordinator on House Survey, of PRESCOM,   made the revelation during a two-day stakeholders’ sensitization forum on the comprehensive national Small Arms and Light Weapons, SALW,  survey in Nigeria,at Villa Toscana Hotel, Enugu.

FILE: Arms

He said that  60 per cent are fabricated locally in Nigeria and “some communities are known for their natural fabrication of arms,” adding that politicians were part of  arms proliferation in the area and most of the political leaders helped in the importation and fabrication of arms.           The sensitization forum tagged, ‘All Hands on Deck,’ also revealed that “40 per cent of the arms are imported by the political leaders and the rest 60 per cent fabricated within the zone.”
According to him: “The essence of the survey is not for the government to embark on   disarmament,  but to find out those factors that motivate people into acquiring such arms and sources of the arms.”
Earlier, the PRESCOM coordinator, Mr. Dickson Orji, stated that the essence of the forum was to give room for information and interaction on how to curtail proliferation of small arms and light weapons in the country.
“It will create awareness on the socio-economic impact of illicit small arms and light weapons proliferation in Nigeria and sensitize the Nigerian populace on the proposed comprehensive SALW survey in Nigeria.
“The forum will galvanize support for the survey team and enumerators to ensure collaboration at the grass roots for the success of the project,” he stated.

I miss Don Jazzy, Wande Coal cries out

By KEHINDE AJOSE
Oluwatobi Wande Ojosipe a.k.a Wande Coal is one youngster who was instrumental in encouraging the likes of Davido and Wizkid to pursue their passion for music. The social media went agog earlier this month when he announced the release of his sophomore album. Fondly called Black diamond, the former Mohits/Mavin artiste opens up on why it took him six years to release another album, why he avoided the media, missing Don Jazzy and the joy of fatherhood.
It took you six years to release another album; What happened?
I was with Mohits and the company dissolved in 2011, then, I was left alone to choose where to go. Either to go with Dbanj or Don Jazzy. I just moved with Don  Jazzy  because we  had bonded, It’s not that I didn’t like Dbanj but I just had to move with Don Jazzy because he is a producer and I am a singer. I moved with Don Jazzy without no contract . It was based on love and I had no contract. At some point I wanted to be in charge of my own creativity and have my own personal growth .I have been working with Don Jazzy for a while and I wanted to give other people the opportunity to produce my music. It takes time. I left Don Jazzy in 2013 and we were already working on my second album, which was almost done. But at the end of the day with business, you disagree and agree. It just didn’t work out .That is why I had to start all over again .Songs like Rotate are no longer on the album. I had to start all over again creating new songs, getting a new producer that is why it took this long.
How was it for you transitioning from a known record label to becoming an independent artiste?
Nothing good comes easy; we have to keep working. A lot of people said my career has declined. All these things motivate me. I like good criticisms. I met Don Jazzy in 2006; they didn’t sign me until 2010. I have been working all that time, writing songs. It wasn’t too hard, but I just needed sometime to create my own sound. New producers are coming up and I decided to give them a chance. The song I did in Ghana with R2bees became a hit, but it wasn’t Don Jazzy that produced it. Don Jazzy doesn’t have a problem with that. People like Wizkid and Davido, I practically influenced them, telling them this is how to go about it. People must grow, table must turn, and people must change. I don’t want to be stereotyped with my sound. I don’t want people to feel that if I don’t have Don Jazzy, I cannot make it.

Why should everyone get this album?
I feel like the album covers all demographics. My last album covers songs for mamas, papas and young people. This album is just my own creativity and personal growth from over the years. I think it’s a must-get album. I spoke about different things. I spoke in my dialect, I spoke in pidgin, I spoke in English. I focused on different topics for each song in the album. It’s going to be a great album. I have been planning to work with 2face for a while now and everybody has been expecting Wande Coal and 2face to work together. I have always been putting out good music everybody knows me for that. Eight producers worked on this album and unfortunately Don Jazzy wasn’t one of them.

8 Excuses Smart Guys Give In Order To Dismiss Ladies From Asking Money

After reading this article, some ladies will say only stingy guys do this but the truth is that in a country like this, if you don't have money at least you should be smart because the standard of living is increasing everyday and the minimum wage remains the same.

However, many guys can't even boast of two square meal in a day let alone afford other basic needs.

As a result of this, guys employ various excuses to prevent ladies from asking money which shall be discussed below

1. They claim broke status

I used to do this as an economist. In economics, there's something we call Scale of Preference, which is applicable to all situation. So when a lady seeks for financial help from me knowing that my well being remains my top priority, I will simply tell her I am broke.

2. They form busy schedule

This format will perfectly suit someone like lalasticlala who spends up to 18 hours online. When a lady asks money from him, he will always complain of being busy and that he can't go to the bank.

3. They explain their financial burden to ladies

Immediately a lady demands money from some guys, this is when they will start complaining about their school fees, departmental fees, house rents, etc. This of course will ring a bell to her that shishi, you no go see for my hand

4. Falsification of robbery attack

This is a hilarious and blunt way smart guys adopt to dismiss a lady seeking for financial assistance by claiming they were robbed perhaps when returning from work or in his house at midnight.

5. They dress like a struggled person

Since they know that ladies are fascinated by what they see, smart guys atimes go on tattered outfit just to discourage ladies from seeking financial assistance.

6. They claim network failure

Often times I have experience this situation from smart guys who use this as an excuse to discourage ladies abruptly. Immediately a lady request for money on the phone, it is when they start accusing MTN of poor network coverage and may eventually switch off their phone or swap the sim card to another line.

7. They clarify their location to be at a remote or troubled region

A friend told me of how he friendzoned and relegated a lady pestering him for financial help by claiming he was at the northern part of Nigeria where terrorist attack is prevalent. He said since then the lady has not called him.

8. They become gold digger

As funny as it sounds, some guys will even gold-dig girl. They always complain of no money in their pocket to the extent that the lady that need financial assistance from them will be the one giving them money.

A fixture will take place on August 3 next year to commemorate the England captain's time with the Red Devils as he closes in on becoming their all-time top goalscorer
Manchester United have awarded club captain Wayne Rooney a testimonial to celebrate his 12 years at Old Trafford.

The England international is closing in on becoming the Red Devils' all-time top goalscorer despite being criticised for his performances this season, and the club have organised a game to commemorate his time with them on August 3.

Despite no opposition having yet been announced, Rooney revealed his excitement at what he says will be a "special" game.
"I would like to thank everyone involved in making this testimonial become a reality," he told the club's website.

"Most of all I want to thank the fans for all their incredible support for me and the team since I joined the club.

"The match night will obviously be special for me and my family but I hope it will be a night of celebration for all involved and that we can also deliver one or two surprises.

"Most of all I hope the fans will come out in force and help raise as much money as possible for these amazing charities, all of which are very close to my heart for different reasons."

The money raised on the evening will be donated to a number of charities that will benefit from the new Wayne Rooney Foundation
