Phone accessories seller arrested with N27m hard drug

Officers of Nigeria’s National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, have apprehended a 26-year old man in connection with 8.5kg of methamphetamine concealed inside metal pipes on Tuesday.

The suspect, Afunaya Thaddeus Izunna, who sells phone accessories at Ikeja, Lagos, southwest Nigeria, was found at the weekend to be in possession of the drug during the screening of passengers on Ethiopian airline flight to New Delhi, India.

The drug is worth N27 million and was discovered when anti-narcotic officers insisted in searching the metal pipes inside his luggage.

The NDLEA Airport Commander, Mr. Hamza Umar said that the drug with a total weight of 8.5kg is one of the highest seizures recently recorded at the Lagos airport.

NDLEA quoted the suspect to have disclosed that he is married with 2 children.

“I am a trader. I sell phone accessories at Ikeja to take care of my wife and two children. It was a friend that gave me the metal pipes that I should take them to India for a fee. I did not know when, how and where it was packed. I was only given the bag containing the pipes. Unfortunately, when I got to the airport during screening, NDLEA officers discovered the drug and I was arrested. This is my first time of smuggling drugs. I hope my wife will understand and forgive men,” NDLEA quoted the suspect as saying.

Video of crazy Rantings of a Racist black woman on London Bus

Looks like this woman is a total lunatic. She was ranting and insulting white passengers that were in a packed London bus while affirming that  she's black and proud. She seems to be under the influence of some kind of hard drugs.

She began the insults by shouting: 'I'm so glad I'm born black and I'll die black. I was born African and I'll f**king die African. The only reason I was born in this country is because you f**king people brought my people here'

At some point she said: 'They all want to be f**king black, they all put fat in their lips and their bottoms and sit down on the sun bed to be black!'

Even the queen was not spared insults and she was very vocal in informing the world that she hates whites and can't stand them.

I beg, I can't quote everything she said, click on the video below to watch and hear her insanities. *Warning: The video is shocking, she used lots of insulting words. Don't click if you can't stomach it*

Young Nigerian Woman Cynthia Udoka Osokogu Murdered by Facebook 'Friends' in Lagos

The rate at which people disappear these days is so alarming. It's either they're kidnapped for ritual purposes or used as ransom to extort money from their families. Some are lucky enough to come back alive while others get killed even after the ransom has been paid. 

The story of Cynthia Ukoka is particularly painful to me because it could have been any of us. We've all got facebook, twitter and other social media friends. I have met and made lasting friends from social media and even stayed with a lady I met on Nairaland when I went to Port Harcourt sometime ago and she stayed with me in Lagos too when she came visiting Lagos. Till date, we're still friends, even though she eventually moved to the UK. 

How it all happened, according to Bellanaija.com.

Alleged Cannibal Clifford Orji dies in Kirikiri Prison

I'm sure most Nigerians remember Clifford Orji who first made news about 13 years ago as the horrid man who roasted and ate human flesh. It was even said that lots of body parts were found stored in his freezer which he claimed he sold to notable politicians for rituals. 

He was arrested in 1999 under the bridge at Toyota Bus Stop along the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway in Lagos  and some people said he was mad at the time while others said he was a ritualise and not actually mad. 

While in  Kirikiri Mazimum Prison, he totally went mad, going about naked, vomiting and even defecating on himself. 

The bad thing is that he was never at any time admitted into any psychiatric home for treatment as most of the homes rejected him. 

He finally died on Friday, 17th August in his sleep at 46 years old

What a sad sad tale. Too many very sick people are going about, abusing innocent children and stealing away their innocence. This is indeed a most despicable act.

24 year old man pierced through head by 6ft pole miraculously survives.

Miracles still happen, that's the only explanation I have for this very fortunate  24-year-old construction worker who survived after a 6-foot metal bar fell from above and pierced his head. 

Luiz Alexandre Essinger, chief of staff at Rio de Janeiro's Miguel Couto Hospital, said doctors successfully withdrew the iron bar from Eduardo Leite's skull during a five-hour surgery. 

 scans showing the of the horrific injury suffered Eduardo Leite, and how miraculously survived

The bar fell from the fifth floor of a building under construction, went through Leite's hard hat, entered the back of his skull and exited between his eyes, Essinger said, adding: 'It really was a miracle' that Leite survived. 

Leite was conscious when he arrived at the hospital and narrated what had happened. He was lucid and showed no negative consequences after the operation. 

What a lucky break! He sure cheated death.

HIV positive Woman Pours petrol over husband for fathering a love-child and watches him burn to death

Some women's hearts are so deep, you won't believe what they are capable of until the snap. 

A wife with a 'fiery temper'  Georgina Pontes Furtado Vilela, 47 killed her husband by setting fire to him in bed.

During the two week trial the court heard how HIV-positive Vilela had suffered from depression and felt 'like an incomplete woman' as a result of not being able to bear Mr Vilela children.

The serious house fire she started happened while four of her step-daughters were also in the home.

It had been started in the first floor back bedroom by Georgina, from Walsall, who is believed to have deliberately poured petrol on her 45-year-old husband Carlos, as he lay on the bed.

She then left the property and watched as neighbours and emergency services battled to rescue Carlos and four of his six daughters, aged 13 to 21, who were all trapped inside.

Lady Gaga Steps on stage wearing meat again and vomits mid performance!

I've stopped trying to understand Lady Gaga and her weird ways. Once again, she stepped out in a corset made out of meat with matching ankle boots and fishnet tights as she performed in Bucharest, Romania, last night. 

However, it might have been that her choice of outfit made her feel somewhat nauseous as halfway through the performance, she had to leave the stage to vomit. 

Gaga told the crowd: 'I went backstage and vomited, and I did not want you to see this... It happens to me sometimes.'

5 Siblings get married on same day!

Siblings Sydney, Brooke, Bradford, Walker, and Emily Waldie got married recently in Mesa, Arizona as part of a giant wedding. The Waldies, who are Mormon, did not share every single moment of the day together, as they had private separate sacred sealing ceremonies inside the temple. They had a family luncheon before weddings four and five and finished off the day with an evening reception. The Waldies are planning on taking an anniversary trip together next year and hope to make it a yearly tradition.

Whites don't have issues sha. I can imagine if it's in Nigeria, of course, everyone of the siblings will want their own special big day! Happy married life Siblings!
