True Confession: How a married man I met on BBM almost killed me with drugged drinks, sex. (This is a true life story of a Nigerian Girl and I felt like sharing with ya.. Is a must read for all RUNS GIRLS


(This is a true life story of a Nigerian Girl and I felt like sharing with ya.. Is a must read for all RUNS GIRLS and Intending Ones..)
The role of the social media in building relationships and businesses cannot be overemphasised. But the negative aspects seem to be growing with mixed reactions after the death of Cynthia Osokogu who was killed by friends she met on social media. Since the case of Cynthia went viral, ladies who were before now ashamed to share their experiences in the hands of bad guys have started talking. Below is the near-death experience a young lady had with a man who was her BBM friend: I am a girl who has fears, beliefs, reservations and just your regular typical Nigerian girl. This past few weeks has been one hell of a game for me. I have really been unsettled and I thought I share this story with you. When Cynthia (the lady killed in the hotel room in Festac, Lagos) surfaced on the internet and various news media, I was scared and it brought back a whole lot of memories to me and also served as and eye opener. Many people castigated and criticised Cynthia (may her gentle soul rest in peace), but my point is, it could have been anybody, anybody at all. We have met people through various social media. Some have ended up well, some have not but with painful memories. To cut the long story short, let me kindly share with you my encounter with social media especially the very popular Blackberry Messenger (BBM). I am a graduate and currently serving in Kaduna. I could have runced it, but I needed somewhere to clear my head and forget about my ugly encounter. Here is my story. I happened to have a married man as a contact on my BBM. He had been asking me out for over six months and I refused to date him. As time went on, he invited me clubbing with him when his wife was outside the country, and I went with him all night. We spent most of the night at Swe bar, Lagos. I also met his clique of friends, married as well with their various mistresses. We had ‘mad’ fun. After all the clubbing and drinking, he lodged me in a hotel somewhere in Obalende. I felt sort of safe with him. We did not have sex, but he made sweet love to me and touched me in places I had never ever imagined. He kissed me passionately but guess what? He did not have sex with me. We did all sorts but there was no penetration. So, to an extent, I trusted he was a good person to be around with. I did not know that it was all part of the plan. He gave me N10,000 and put me in a cab to go home the next morning. We kept talking and chatting and sending naked pictures to each other and he told me naughty things of how he wanted to whisper things in my ear, I blushed. We didn’t see for two weeks and that was because his wife just came back from Turkey. One faithful evening, he pinged me that he was organising a beach party/boat cruise and that he would love for me to be his date and that he wanted to open a BBM chat, as a medium for his friends and my friends to interact. I was excited about it, I just wanted to have fun. I was able to get five of my very hot friends. The BBM group opened and we got chatting. I also realise that majority of them were married and working in reputable firms. It was fun and we didn’t mind if they were married, we just wanted to have fun, as well as some other girls apart from my friends in the group. We chatted exclusively, sent pictures to the BBM group to introduce ourselves, and we had opened group conversations pending the beach party. And as excited as we were, we went shopping for nice sexy beach wears. The D-day finally came, we all assembled at the Lagos Island Boat Club. I was wowed because it was a high class party. We were cruising in a boat loaded with goodies drinks and hot babes, and as well ‘MARRIED MEN’. I did not care, I just said in my mind that I would not roll with married men anymore after this, that for now, all I wanted to do was to catch some fun. After all, I wasn’t paying bills. We got there, it was a private beach resort. Most of the beach facilities I got to see there were owned by multinational companies. We got out of the boat, and went to where we were partying. It was a duplex made with wood. It was a very nice setting. I felt comfortable because it even had a fence around it separating it from other beach houses around. So, there was privacy and of course bouncers (heavy looking guys) guarding the place. I said to myself, this must be heaven, I must be dreaming. Anyways, we felt free with each other because we had been chatting. It was 5:30pm and the party just started. We had drinks flowing from the private bar tender which happens to be owned by one of the men in the group. Reality struck when I realised that I was feeling dizzy and feeling really funny and light headed. Not only me, but other girls around me too noticed there was something strange about it. I was also feeling HORNY as hell! I had been drugged. They monitored us and when they knew the drug had really gone deep into our system, they moved us up into the main beach house. I could still see faces, but was too weak and horny to react. Mr B, the man who took me clubbing, carried me in his hands like a sacrifice and put me down on the floor just as other men also did with their girls. We were eight in numbers; 8 girls, 8 guys, and they all stripped us down and had sex with us. I enjoyed it a bit because I was horny. It was a mixed feeling because I cried, I moaned, but I did not know how many times he came into me. He pounded me hard. I was dizzy, but he grabbed me with force. All I could notice was the wedding ring on his finger. I thought of how wicked and miserable some married can be. How inhuman and heartless they could be. All of them took turns in switching partners and slept with all of us. I passed out. That was the last thing I could remember. I felt water poured on me. I noticed all the other girls around me too were half naked and some stark naked. We spent the night at the beach, but the men were no where to be found. I looked round me and all I could see was packs of used condoms. I ran to pick my cloths and possibly raise an alarm. I got dressed, found my phone with an envelope. It contained N16,000 and a note asking us to take N2000 each for transport. Tears of anger and rage filled my eyes and the girls around me as well. “We were drugged and used like tissue paper. I grabbed my phone and noticed a ping came in. I checked my phone and I noticed the BBM group had been deleted, and a message via BBM from MR B came in. He threatened me that if I say a word to anyone, I would regret it. I told him he was a bastard, and he said try it. A picture came in, several pictures. In fact, they were pictures of us being naked on the floor. Pictures of the humiliating us but they blurred the faces of the men. In total, I got 20 pictures. I was not myself for a month. I went back to school, I had no one to talk to. The rest of the semester was hell for me. My CGPA dropped drastically. It was the worst out of the worst result I ever had. Till today, my friends and I have not discussed this with anyone, but all I could do when I heard of Cynthia’s story was to narrate my own ordeal anonymously and spread the news, the word, and pray they (ladies who do runs) see it and changed their ways. I am now born again. I have given my life to Christ. I fear men so much that I cannot even move close to them. I still have nightmares, but with time, God will strengthen me and I will move on. My advice to single ladies out there is, do not be desperate for fun. Pray to God to open your eyes of understanding, and pray hard. He who kneels before God will stand before kings and queens. To all married women, pray hard to God to intervene in your marriages and turn your husbands from bad habits and bad friends. As for me, I do not think I ever want to get married or date a man again. That chapter has been closed for good in my life. Please, do not ignore my mail. Please post it. There are a lot of things we ladies need to learn. Please post it on your blog and save a soul. It could be your friend, sister, cousin, neighbour. God bless you as you pass it on. To all readers, I do not care if you insult me or rain abuses at me. My job is to share this encounter with you and save you from any mishap. God bless you all. Amen.

Olympics: Nigeria’s lone table tennis survivor crashes out


Quadri Aruna, Team Nigeria’s remaining table tennis player at the ongoing London 2012 Olympic Games, crashed out of the competition on Sunday.Aruna lost 2-4 in his second round game to Turkey’s Bora Vang at the ExCel-North Arena 1, in spite of winning the first two games of the fixture.
Aruna, 23, who drew bye into the first round where he beat Carlos Machado of Spain 4-2 on Saturday, had carried Nigeria’s hope of remaining in the event on his shoulders.The Nigerian team had qualified for only the singles event of the competition and Aruna’s male teammate, Segun Toriola, had earlier crashed out on Saturday, after advancing to the first round.
The two female players, Olufunke Oshonaike and Offiong Edem, had also seen their aspirations cut short on Saturday, with Edem losing her first game in the preliminary round.Oshonaike had, like Toriola, also won her preliminary round match, before losing in the first round later in the day.Aruna had, however, briefly given the hope of Nigeria remaining in contention at the competition, after winning his first two games against Vang at 11-6, 12-10 in 12 minutes.Some 26 minutes later, however, Aruna was to lose 12-10, 11-2, 12-10, 12-10 to his 25-year-old opponent, thus crashing out and ending Nigeria’s hopes in the sport at the games.

Olaitan’s Murder: SSS Arrests Edo-based Environmentalist


Olaitan’s Murder: SSS Arrests Edo-based Environmentalist
An environmental rights activist and Executive Director of African Network for Environmental and Economic Justice (ANEEJ), Mr. David Ugolor, has been arrested by the State Security Service (SSS).
AS IT HAPPENS learnt that he was picked at about 2.05pm on Friday in connection with the assassination of the Private Secretary to Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State, the late Mr. Olaitan Oyerinde.
But ANEEJ in a statement by its Programme/Policy Officer, Mr. Innocent Edemhanria, said Ugolor is a victim of frame-up by some highly-placed persons and insisted that he remains innocent of the accusation against him.
In his words: “The security operatives which numbered over 10 had picked him up from somewhere in town and brought him to the office. They had ransacked his private home and office and took away some items. Staff of the office had their cell phones taken away from them and switched off for as long as the security men held them hostage which lasted for about three hours.
“They later returned the phones at about 4.35pm before vacating the office premises. A staff of Centre for Social Justice, Mr. Kingsley Nnajiaka, was at ANEEJ Secretariat then and was also held hostage for the same period,” he said.

UGANDA'S JANNETTE EVICTED FROM THE BIG BROTHER HOUSE


UGANDA'S JANNETTE EVICTED FROM THE BIG BROTHER HOUSE
Janette Georgina Lutaaya (21) has been evicted from the Big Brother house a week to the end of the show leaving Kyle in the house who became a finalist by default having survived this Sunday's eviction.
Jannette and Kyle have shocked very many viewers for having come this far bearing in mind that they did not expect them to go past the first week. During the first days of the show, eviction was based on a random ball nomination system making Uganda and Kenya as the last standing couples from Downville crossing to Upville.
It’s at this time that Kyle and Jannette were to taste Africa because they were playing as individuals and not as a couple but even with this, Kyle was able to survive Africa twice. Popular housemates like Keitta were able to fall as Kyle remained standing on the same chopping block.
Tonight, Kyle, Prezzo, Lady May and Jannette were given their results of how Africa felt about them as far as the winning prize of USD 300,000 is concerned. Africa decided that Jannete goes home.
 She told IK that she is crazy when she drinks. I K asked her which housemate she was likely to fall for out of the house, she said: "I find Ola sexy and I could hook up with him."
The show ends next Sunday with six housemates in the run for the top prize i.e. Kyle, Prezzo, Lady May, Talia, Wati and Keagan.

IMPEACHMENT THREAT: JONATHAN BOWS TO REPS


Impeachment threat: Jonathan bows to Reps

Hope of an end to the friction between President Goodluck Jonathan and the House of Representatives brightened yesterday with the decision of the President to bow to some of the demands made by the Reps.
The lawmakers had been at daggers drawn with the President over what they termed an uninspiring implementation of the 2012 budget and the contempt of the executive for resolutions and bills passed by them. 
The friction got to a head last week when they gave the executive up till the end of September to implement the budget 100 per cent, failing which they would launch impeachment proceedings against the President. 
But feelers from the two meetings the President has held with the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Aminu Tambuwal, in the past one week revealed that the President decided to yield some grounds to the lawmakers because of what a Presidency source called his “deep concern for the nation’s political stability.”
The implementation of the budget is now expected to be fast-tracked while the President is also said to have demanded a fresh, comprehensive report from the Finance Minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, on the Director-General of the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC), Ms Arunma Oteh. 
Oteh was recalled from suspension by the Presidency without regard to the position of the House that she was undeserving of the position in view of the result of their investigation into her tenure.
A source privy to the talks said: “The sessions were frank as the President and the House leadership were able to identify issues and grey areas to address. 
“So far, the talks have been useful; all outstanding issues are likely to be resolved on or before the House resumes in September. 
“I think at the end of the day, we may not get to a dead end. Things are going to work out; the two sides are beginning to understand each other. 
“But there may be another meeting with the House leadership before the recess is over. Certainly, it is obvious that the ongoing rift may end soon.” 
Asked to be specific, the source said: “The President agreed that there is need to fast-track the implementation of the 2012 budget and he gave details of what his administration has done. “ 
The Presidency source added: ”Mr. President is committed to having everything in place. He believes that while he is addressing insecurity in the country, his administration should not give room for political instability. 
“The President has asked the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, to release funds to MDAs before the end of this month. The Ministry of Finance has started doing that, and it was on this basis that she had the confidence to say that budget implementation has moved from 30 per cent to 56 per cent. You can go to the MDAs; they will tell you that the situation is improving. 
“I can tell you that he will address some of the issues tabled by the House. Some of the bills awaiting assent may be signed next week, although he will be taking them one by one on merit. Any of the bills which requires fine-tuning may be returned to the National Assembly after mutual consultations. 
“The President has also taken steps to pacify the Senate which is also aggrieved by non-implementation of some resolutions, especially the Report of its Committee on Privatization. There may be action on reports from the National Assembly on BPE, SEC and Pension scam. 
“If not for the maturity of the Senate President, Chief David Mark, the relationship between the Executive and the National Assembly would have been worse. 
“The truth is that the President has tried to overlook some things but the House is not reciprocating as expected. 
“On the constituency projects, the President conceded to have these included in the budget as long as it will be cost-saving, development-oriented and to be managed by the MDAs. He bent backward to accommodate the National Assembly to ensure easy passage of the budget. 
“Initially, what the lawmakers wanted was N120 million projects per constituency, but the President said it could not work. They went as far as reducing it to N80 million worth of projects per constituency but they came back to N40 million after the President insisted that he would not allow waste. 
“So, a deal was struck for the constituency projects which will be executed within the budget framework of each relevant Ministry, Department or Agency. They also sought leave to bring contractors. 
“But after the first quarter funds were released, some members of the House started going to MDAs to ask for variation of funds allocated to projects in their constituencies. The executive arm, however, decided to stick to the budget as passed, leaving the House members angry. 
“What happened during the public hearing into the management of the Capital Market and Fuel Subsidy probe on allegations against members made the Executive to be more circumspect on this budget palaver? 
“The House may be making a point but the President believes that its members are doing so with politics. Right from inception, the relationship between the Presidency and the House has not been cordial. There is that suspicion that may be the Speaker and some PDP members in the House are working for the opposition.” 
The Chairman of the House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Hon. Zakari Mohammed, however, said no member of the chamber is involved directly or indirectly in the execution of constituency projects. 
Mohammed said: “It is unfortunate that there is a deliberate attempt to smear the image of House members on the constituency projects. The House has said it but I want to repeat that we are not contractors and we have nothing to do with the award and execution of constituency projects at all. It has been the exclusive right of the Executive to execute constituency projects. 
“When the budget came, the President gave an envelope for constituency projects. They consulted and they asked National Assembly members what projects they would want executed based on the needs of their constituency or Senatorial District . 
“Based on the overtures, members only provided areas of need and likely locations for these constituency projects, which are meant to accelerate development at the grassroots. 
“No member of the House has anything to do with the award and execution of these constituency projects. 
“The projects are even under sub-head in MDAs that are relevant to them. If members are not awarding and executing projects, it is sad to cast aspersion on them that they are asking for variation of the contract sums. There is no iota of truth in this allegation.”When we cried out on non-implementation of the 2012 budget, we did so in the interest of the nation. We assisted the President to know why things are not working because at the end of the day, Nigerians will blame him.”

Errant Colonel, Sergent fined for driving on BRT Lane



A colonel and a sergeant who were apprehended red-handed by Governor Babatunde Fashola for wrongfully driving on the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) lane have been punished for their offence. Colonel Kayode Yusuf and Staff Sergeant Aliu Adeomi were fined N25,000 by the Nigerian Army for violating the Lagos State Transport Route law on 17th July. The fine was spelt out by General Officer Commanding (GOC), 81 Division, Major-General Kenneth Minimah while instituting a court martial against 13 Army officers. “Col. Kayode Yusuf and Staff Sergeant Aliu Adeomi, caught by Governor Babatunde Fashola on 17th July for taking BRT lane, would pay the N25000 fine stipulated by the Lagos Traffic Law,” Minimah said. Yusuf, Adeomi, and 11 others were court-martialed for various offences ranging from murder to financial misappropriation. Minimah noted that the fine would serve as deterrent to other officers who carry themselves about in public places with impudence. He warned other soldiers to abide by the laws governing the state. “No army personnel should take the BRT lane because they are designated for buses. If we get it right, it is for our common good,” he said. “In this regard, we will continue to help the State Government in enforcing the law.” Yusuf and his law-breaking subordinate met their nemesis on Tuesday, 17th July in Lagos when they ran into Governor Fashola while driving in an Army green Peugeot 406 with registration number BO1– 150 NA and a black Toyota Camry respectively. The colonel immediately alighted from his car to meet Fashola, saluting, genuflecting and apologizing profusely. But his apologies did little to appease the governor, who was said to have upbraided the colonel, wondering why the “a senior military officer would break the law instead of preserving it. Our force self!!!!

200 cars purchased for First Ladies Summit


The Federal Government has begun taking delivery of 200 exotics cars ordered for use by guests and officials of the African First Ladies Summit which kicked off in Abuja yesterday.
First Lady Patience Jonathan is the convener of the event, with the theme “The African Woman: A Voice for Peace,” which is expected to be attended by spouses of African leaders.
The cars comprise 80 units of BMW X3 and X5 series with a market value of N13.5 million each, while the remaining 120 are exotic models of Honda, Jaguar and others.
The vehicles were supplied by Coscharis Motors, and 180 units have already been delivered to the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Saturday.
The cars are for use during the 7th African First Ladies for Peace Mission (AFLPM) summit scheduled for 24 to 27 July in Abuja. Already, African first ladies have begun arriving in the country since weekend for the four-day event.
There was conflicting information by last night on whether the cars were bought outright or hired.
When the spokesman for Coscharis Motors, Mr. Ifeanyi Nihe was contacted by telephone on Monday, he said the company had supplied vehicles to the Federal Government but refused to state the number and cost.
“I am not in the position to give out the real value of the transaction,” he said.
When asked which government agency was handling the transaction, Nihe said, “Our company is still talking with some officials of the government. I don’t know whether it is the First Lady’s office or not.”
Nihe also could not confirm whether the cars were sold or leased out to the government for the event.
Coscharis Motors is the same company that supplied over 3, 000 units of BMW series used during the 8th All African Games also known as COJA in 2003 .
A source said the transaction for the 200 cars was processed by the office of the Minister of State for Finance.
Attempts to seek explanation from the office were not successful as a spokesman declined comment while the minister of state, Dr. Yerima Ngama, did not answer calls to his phone on Monday.
Also, attempts to get reaction from the office of the First Lady were not successful. Her spokesman Ayo Adewuyi could not be reached by telephone on Monday and yesterday.
The Federal Government is supposed to be operating a “monetization” policy under which government officials are paid monies in lieu of official vehicles. Ministries and agencies, including the Presidency, are also supposed to maintain pools of limited numbers of vehicles for official activities.
It is not clear what will happen to the 200 cars after the First Ladies conference, but such vehicles usually end up being auctioned at rock-bottom prices to the well-connected or government workers take possession of them.
The main objective of the African First Ladies summit, according to the concept paper, is to “facilitate the flow of authentic conversations and ideas that will create powerful new paradigm for the African woman.”
During the conference, the foundation laying ceremony of the secretariat of Mrs. Jonathan’s First Ladies Peace Mission is scheduled to be performed in Abuja.
The foundation is to be laid on the disputed land allocated to former first lady Turai Yar’Adua’s Women and Youth Empowerment Foundation (WAYEF) in February 2010 but revoked by FCT Minister Bala Mohammed in November last year and reallocated to Mrs. Jonathan’s pet project.
The AFLPM was established in 1997 and aims at the prevention and management of conflict as well as the preservation of peace through civil and humanitarian diplomacy.

New Ghana president sworn in


Ghana Vice President John Dramani Mahama was sworn in as thewest African nation's new president on Tuesday, hours after the sudden death of president John Atta Mills.
The country's chief justice swore in Mahama before an emergencysession of parliament following Mills' death. Mills died as he was being treated for an unspecified illness at a hospital in the capital Accra.
Speaking before parliament shortly after his swearing-in, Mahama pledged to maintain stability and paid tribute to his predecessor.
"I wish Ghanaians to be assured that all is well," he said. "We are going to maintain the peace, unity and stability that Ghana is noted for."
Mills's death came five months before he was to run for re-election in the country seen as a bastion of democracy in west Africa.
The 68-year-old Mills, who oversaw the start of large-scale oil production in Ghana in December 2010, had recently traveled to the United States for a medical check-up, but the cause of his death was not given. He had recently shown signs of illness, including losing his voice and dropping weight.
