Man Loses N6m To Fake Pastors  

Two suspected conmen parading themselves as spiritualists and prayer warriors to dupe unsuspecting members of the  public have been arrested by the police at the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Adeniji Adele, Lagos Island, southwest Nigeria.

They allegedly obtained the sum of N6 million from Mobolaji Adebayo Ojomo on the pretext of offering special prayer for him to solve his spiritual problems and cleanse his mouth odour to enable him get his Canada visa to travel abroad, a claim they knew to be false.

The suspects, Sunday Omogbehin, 46, and Olawale Adeniyi, 42, were arraigned  before an Igbosere Magistrate’s Court on a two-count charge of felony, obtaining money by false pretence and stealing.

The police prosecutor C.N. Odii stated that the accused were arrested following a written complaint by  Ojomo that the accused in March, 2012 at 15, Oyenuga Street, Aguda, Lagos, deceived and collected the sum of N6 million from him in Lagos state and Mowe town in Ogun State, southwest Nigeria, on the pretext of offering him special prayers and cleansing his mouth odour to enable him obtain a visa from Canada Embassy to travel abroad without stress.

He claimed that the accused told him that the special prayer and treating his mouth odour would mesmerized the embassy officers not to bother to ask him sensitive questions before issuing him his visa.

He stated that he believed them and started paying them money until they got about N6 million from him, yet nothing happen, and the accused started to evade him before he reported the matter to the police.

The offences the accused commited contravene sections 409 and 312 (21) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State  2011.

The accused pleaded not guilty to the charges and the presiding Chief Magistrate, Mrs. O. Osi, admitted them on bail in the sum of N250,000 with two sureties each in like sum who must show proof of tax payment to the Lagos State Government.

She adjourned the matter while the defendants were moved to Ikoyi Prisons pending when they could meet their bail conditions.

UEFA Champions League: 200m Fans To Watch Real, Man U Match  

The worldwide television audience and number of bets anticipated for Wednesday night’s match between Manchester United and Real Madrid should break all records for a last 16 tie of the tournament.

Today’s grudge match between Jose Mourinho’s men and the English team should be the most watched Champions League match of all time. Kevin Alavy, Managing Director of Sport+Entertainment, an agency specialising in sport sponsorship, is expecting a global audience of about 200 million.

“It may well be that this is the most watched last-16 match in the history of the Champions League,” he said.

The tie is also poised to attract the most bets. William Hill were expecting 20m pounds to be wagered in the UK alone, only 5million pounds less than the 2011 final between United and Barcelona at Wembley.

Real Madrids Ronaldo and Van Persie of Man United

Ahead of the crucial match, Sir Alex Ferguson has warned his United troops they cannot blow their ‘acid test’ in the Bernabeu.

Fergie believes if they topple the Spaniards, they can go all the way to Euro glory.

He said: “This is the acid test, no doubt about that, and we have to get through to win this competition.

“This is so important to both clubs, we cannot think of failing.”

Asked if his United team can emulate those of 1968, 1999 and 2008 and lift the European Cup, Ferguson added: “Yeah, I think so.

“They have a great spirit about them.

“People say this one is not as good as the teams of the past but sometimes you can have foggy recollections of teams from the past — I do myself.

“But this team doesn’t know when it is beaten, which is a good asset, and it has some quality players, too.

“Jose Mourinho summed up this tie perfectly, it’s a game everyone has waited for.

“It’s a fantastic challenge, two clubs who embrace the best parts of football.” Fergie’s side lead the Premier League title race by 12 points, while Mourinho’s Real are third in La Liga.

Ferguson added: “I think it is a good time to play them. We have a fantastic lead in the Premier League and we have everyone fit.”

Fergie dismissed the description of Wayne Rooney by one Madrid paper as a hooligan.

He said: “I’m not interested in what a Madrid paper says. He can’t speak or read Spanish, so we will be all right.”

Lola’s Franktalk: Excuse Me! You need some manners

Hello people, still talking on manners. In the last article I mentioned that we will discuss awkward situations and what is expected or the right etiquette for the situation.

Scenario 1: you are in a public transport and someone is playing music from his/her phone. The music is blaring loudly plus it’s a song like Fuji or something. Now, don’t you just think that is plain rudeness?

You have all had a long day and would like to ride back home in peace.

It is very rude for you to inconvenience other people that way. If you need to listen to music from your phone, then use head phones. If you don’t have head phones then wait till you are in the confines of your home to do it.

Consider the fact that not everyone listens to your kind of music, some actually do but need peace and quiet at that point in time.

Scenario 2:  You are a guest at a particular place; the host has been nice enough to set up the guest room, just so you can be comfortable.

You stay for a couple of nights, start to feel a little too comfortable and then decide to bring in a pet to live with you.

Yeah! Very rude right?

When you are visiting someone, the best thing to do is ask about the rules that guide them in the house. Some people are allergic to animals and get a reaction from just the smell of animals of from coming in contact with the animals’ fur.

I would love to get feedback from you all. Please tell me about awkward situations you have been in or those you witnessed and let us have some fun discussing the solutions.
