Lady Set On Fire By Her Yahoo Boyfriend Over Infidelity, Dies (Video) 😢

Alabi Tolani, the 24-year-old lady set ablaze by her 19-year-old boyfriend, Orji Ifeanyichukwu, over alleged infidelity, has died.

After our report about the incident on Sunday, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Bala Elkana, released a statement and confirmed that the incident took place at G54, Army Post Service Housing Estate, Ojo, Lagos, where they both lived in Ifeanyichukwu’s N600, 000 per annum apartment.

“Ifeanyichukwu met the victim on Feb. 28, 2019, through a hookup and she moved into his house in March. He has been into internet fraud for the past three years, where he gets the proceeds for renting the apartment.

They have since then, inhabited as lovers because her parents live apart,” the police spokesman said.

He said that Ifeanyichukwu brought Tolani into his house with conditions that she would quit prostitution and stick to him alone. “However, trouble started on Thursday when the victim left home to fix her hair and did not return until the next day.

She equally left the house on Friday under the guise of visiting her father but ended up seeing another man. Ifeanyichukwu got to know on Saturday when she returned by scrolling through her phone and saw her chats, video calls and pictures of herself naked which she sent to her client,” Mr Elkana said.

He said that the suspect (Ifeanyichukwu) became angry and used the petrol he kept for his generator to set her ablaze. A team of detectives visited the scene and the victim has been taken to General Hospital, Igando where she was admitted but died in the early hours of Sunday.

The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, has directed the immediate transfer of the case to Criminal Investigation Department Yaba. The suspect confessed to the commission of the crime and will be charged to court for murder,” the statement concluded.

The Mathematics Certification Institute of Japan on Tuesday said a 9-year-old boy from the Western Japanese province of Hyogo has passed a university-level maths exam.

According to the Kyodo news agency, the institute said Shogo Ando had been studying for the exam for two years and intended to use his mathematical skills for the betterment of the society.

The report said the boy was quoted as saying that he would like to use his skills to combat climate change.

Testing and achievement is central to Japan’s highly competitive school system.

However, according to the latest data from the Programme for International Student Assessment, Japan has fallen from fifth to sixth place in the ranking of countries by their school pupils’ maths abilities.

The people of Abia North might opt for the invocation of the ‘Doctrine of Necessity’ to seek the removal and replacement of their senator, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu who is currently in prison custody, according to a report by DailyPost.
 
Kalu was last week sentenced to 12 years in prison following his conviction on N7.2 billion fraud and money laundering charge by a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos.
 
The former Governor’s legal team had hinted it would appeal the judgment which has since sparked controversy over the fate of his constituents.
 
There have also been calls in some quarters for the Senate President to declare the seat of the Senate Chief Whip vacant to pave the way for a fresh poll to elect his replacement.
 
But in a swift reaction, the Senate on Friday ruled out the possibility of declaring Kalu’s seat vacant.
 
Senate Spokesperson, Senator Godiya Akwashiki, who made this position known said it was “non issue”, arguing that the former Governor is not the first lawmaker to be jailed.

Minor Weeps Uncontrollably After He Was Tricked Into Being Used To Perpetrate Fraud In Lagos



A man has shared story of an innocent little boy who was allegedly used to steal bags of rice from a shop and left to face the consequence.

Nigerian writer, Richard Henshaw, has shared the story of how a little boy was innocently used to defraud a shop owner in Lagos state.
Richard who shared photos of the little boy, wrote:

Just about three hours ago, a little boy got into the bleakest nightmare of his life...Twelve years of age.A minor.

I heard pandemonium from where I was.

Treated it with reckless abandon from the start.

But it persisted.

And I reckoned that something was wrong.

I went out to look.

A crowd had gathered in a shop.

Screams and tears wafting out from the scene.

I walked over there.

And I met this little boy in tears.

Manhandled by the crowd.

I asked what had happened.

The boy who was at the shop narrated.

One boy came to their shop and told him he wanted two bags of rice.

Then he gave him a phone to speak with someone who said she was the boy's mother.

And the woman said she was sending his money to him immediately, that he should allow her son bring the bags of rice.

Then the bigger boy said that his younger brother would wait behind while he went to bring the money.

He left the little boy behind and went with the two bags of rice on a bike.

The shop boy waited for a prolonged time, then became perturbed.

He then turned to the little boy and asked, "Why is your brother taking so much time na?"

And the little boy replied, "He's not my brother oo. I don't know him before. He just met me on the road and brought me here..."

The shop boy's eyes raised in alarm.

He held the boy.

His voice alerted a crowd.

The crowd descended on the boy.

"You are a little criminal. Where did your friend take the bags of rice to?" They screamed at him.

Slaps.

Hits.

"I swear I don't know the boy," the boy wept.

When I arrived, I dragged the boy aside and had a conversation with him.

And he said, "Oga, I swear I no know that boy. I pick cartons on the streets and sell them, that's how I take dey get money. So today I been dey street and I was thirsty, so I come see the boy and ask him make him help me with water. The boy promise to give me water, but say make I follow am. He then said that anywhere we go make I dey claim say I be him brother. So we enter bike and he brought me here. He then collect two bags of rice from here and say make I wait behind that him want go bring money come. And na so him go and no come back, and leave me here..."

It was hard to comprehend this.

How someone could see a minor on the street, cajoled him to follow him.

Played on his little senses.

Exploited his circumstances.

Took him to a shop.

Duped the shop owner of his goods.

Kept the boy behind, and told the shop owner that the boy was his brother.

Then disappeared with the goods.

And left the boy behind to face the consequences.

And put his life in danger.

In an embittered city like Lagos.

The shop owner was called on phone to come back.

He ran back to his shop and heard the news.

Felling diatribes on his boy in the shop for falling for such a scam.

And the nameless crowd was struck by anger propaganda.

Eager to descend on the boy.

"What is your name?" I asked the minor.

"David."

"How old are you?"

"Twelve."

"Where did that boy see you and bring you here?"

He muttered some gibberish.

"Do you know the boy's house?" I asked.

"No."

"Have you met the boy before?"

"No. But while we were coming here he pointed to one shop and told me that that is his mother's shop."

"So can you take us to that shop?"

"Yes."

"Bros, this boy na small criminal. This boy know that boy. They are together." Some said.

"He was used," others said. "Maybe he doesn't know anything about it. Maybe that boy just saw him and decided to use him."

And in that case it was difficult to know which one was true.

Then a friend brought his vehicle immediately, and both of us alongside the shop owner took the boy away to go and make efforts to find the boy.

Away from the attacks of the angry crowd.

To go to the shop which the minor said the boy had pointed at, and claimed to be his mother's shop.

And as we set off, we discovered that the little boy had been used.

He had actually been used.

You look at this and you wonder, what if that boy had taken this little boy to an environment where he would not be able to come out alive?

What if there were no people to save him?

He could have died in a show of savagery because of two bags of rice.

A scheme from someone he didn't know.

A claim that so many people didn't believe anyway.

And in that little boy's nightmares, I saw the true picture of our society.

In all its irony.

And.

Metaphor.

I saw the mechanical disregard for humanity.

The reckless abandonment of innocence.

Stay woke.

Stay safe even in an insane world.

Lagos!

ROTARY YOUTH LEADERSHIP AWARDS (A mind liberating experience, only for the open minds)




    It all began like talks for me when my cousin, a Rotarian, told me I’d be going for the RYLA 2019 at the sea-school, Apapa, Lagos. I went for the necessary screening and Orientation on the 15th and 22nd Nov. 2019 respectively it finally dawn on me that it was happening. It was all beautiful scenery right from the jetty in Falomo, to the boats and the brackish sea water.
    Right from arrival it was excruciatingly fun and exhausting as we were asked to drop off our bags and were asked to line up for what was termed “LACASERA”, little did we know it was a brief exercise to seemingly invigorate us into the mood of the activities to be undergone right there at the Sea-school. Honestly, even at that point I was still being skeptical of everything as to the new and rapid changes to my living but spending just a night there, I began to see and understand things from another point of view. Anyways without boring you with too many irrelevant details, I’ll go down to things that you could delve into:

Day 1. Arrival.
 we were assigned to various watches and hostel (My watch was ELEGBE WATCH, Hostel was SENATOR HALL) and we were given Mesh pans for our meals.

Day 2. Official opening day of RYLA 2019, key notes were on the purpose of RYLA and amongst the numerous importance and purpose I’ll pick 5 that tops my list which are Integrity development, Value humanity, self discipline, time management and obeying instructions regardless of whether it sits down well with you or not. Basically into one sentence it’s all about Leadership and personal development skill.

Day 3. Lecture on how to develop mental strength and also we were thought how to use the life jacket and we jumped into the sea as I call it “BAPTISM IN THE SEA”.

Day 4. Lecture on the roles of the youth graced by daddy showkey and he gave a key note on “DRUGS” to the participants. He said;

* Don’t build confidence outside your dad and mom, so that an external can’t influence you.
* Don’t bully people.
* “LIVE A DRUG-FREE LIFE (I promise to live a drug-Free life).
* Be patient, there’s times for everything, your time will come if you do the right things.
* kind of friends you keep, determine your future
* Set up goals
* Believe in yourself
* Be respectful and responsible
* Maintain peace and harmony
Before the lecture of the day we had “Assault drills”, every watch had to present ten representatives who were to climb over a 12ft wall, importance of this was to build team work and courage.

Day 5. lecture on “FIRST AID AMD FIRE FIGHTING, BASIC  PREVENTION & SAFETY” and VOLUNTARISM AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, key speakers were First Nigerian president of JCI MR PASCAL DIKE AND CHARLES INOJIE an actor and comedian.
 Day 6. “ENDURANCE TREK” from sea-school to TAKWA BAY which was about 5hours To and fro, plus I call it the Apex of the activities and exercise we were engaged in during the RYLA 2019. The endurance trek was so physically exerting that some Rylarians needed medical attention. Fortunately,  medical teams comprising of rotarians, Rylarians and staffs of the sea school were on standby. Some Rylarians had to be carried home by their colleagues. *whew* it was a test of endurance indeed.
Day 7. DRAMA AND BONFIRE NIGHT, every watch (Elegbe watch and others) presented their drama and were scored on the basis of Originality, Stage management, time management, Costume, Audibility etc. The bonfire was lit later in the night and each watch had to dance around it while singing songs reminiscent  of young soldiers in training, it was a wonderful experience, the feeling of unity, camaraderie and excitement. I'd pay to do it again.
Day 8. VARIETY NIGHT which was all about the MR & MRS RYLA competition and TALENT HUNT. Forty contestants, 20 beautiful young ladies and 20 handsome young men( looking like the African warriors of old) vied for the crown as miss RYLA and Mr RYLA respectively. After a rigorous selection process, two worthy contestants-- a male and a female-- got the crowns to the elation of the vibrant crowd. As the contests for Miss and Mr RYLA was going on, different Rylarians were climbing on to the stage to showcase their talents-- ranging from magic to singing, to dancing and even a mimicry of the legendary Fela Anikulapo Kuti of blessed memory.
Many were sitted--mostly in pairs while some stood up to dance to the tunes dished out by the disc jockey.


Day 9. CURTAIN DRAWN ON RYLA 2019
As usual, we woke up to bath and prepare for the day but that day was different; we were instructed to pack all our bags and place them outside our hostels.
We ate breakfast with our rugged mesh pans and we converged for the final program. Awards were given, gifts were shared and it was time to go home. That was when the tears started to flow and Rylarians hugged one another goodbye while exchange phone numbers and promises. The atmosphere was intense, if only RYLA could be extended and we could spend more time with our new families. But no matter how much time a farmer spends in his field, home is where he shall return to rest.
