 |
| Obinna (right) in handcuff |
A 34 years old Nigerian man of Igbo tribe by the name Obinna Augustine Iloka, has been arraigned in court for staying in Zimbabwe without a valid permit and unlawful drug possession.
According to a report published by H-Metro on Thursday, November 24, 2022, Iloka was not asked to plead when he appeared before Harare magistrate Tafadzwa Miti.
The court heard that Iloka, who resides in Kuwadzana, doesn’t even have a passport.
According to the State, Iloka entered the country through an unknown port, on an unknown date, without presenting himself to immigration authorities.
On November 17, a police crack team received a tip-off that he was living illegally in the country.
Police went to Iloka’s house and asked to produce a permit authorizing him to be in the country.
He failed to produce a permit and was arrested.
Police also recovered two grams of marijuana from him.
Thomas Chanakira appeared for the State.
What Nigerian government failed to do
The Yoruba people are now providing security for themselves as the current government is busy looting
Do Yoruba have a King?
 |
| Oni Of Ife Adeyeye Ogunwusi |
He lives lavishly, changing wives and women , with
controversies of domestic cloud surrounding him he multiplied women within month with an exotic life while the Yoruba
people lives in squalor, You wonder if the Oni of Ife is really representing
the Yoruba throne or himself.
When he became the
Oni of Ife, There were hopes that he would maintain the sacred throne of the
Yoruba people, but no sooner than his enthronement, the new Oni of Ife seemed
totally detached from the Yoruba customs and tradition, he has desecrated the
revered throne with his personal ambition and does not share interest in that which affects the Yoruba
people, he's always going about
hobnobbing with politicians and whoever he feels has money to the detriment of
the great throne he occupies –
 |
| Oni |
Many are of the opinion that The Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi has always been a scam artist. More of a “yahoo yahoo” and 419 king like the Oluwo of Iwo as many Obas in Yoruba land. Who have been reduced to nothing by Politician, because of their greed and love for money.
The Yoruba concept of God as explained by Prof. Sophie Oluwole
 |
| Late Prof. Sophie Oluwole |
The Bible itself is a translation of the Bantu scrolls that Europeans stole and developed Christianity and Judaism from it. Arab also invented Islam from it. Meanwhile Abram never stepped out of Africa.
ISa El Buba bares his mind on the Muslims -Muslim agenda
Isa El-Buba was a former Islamic occultist, who inherited Islamic occultism from birth until he had an encounter with Christ, President and General Overseer of Evangelical Bible Outreach Ministries International (EBOMI) Prophet Isa El-Buba has said the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the APC presidential candidate, Ahmed Bola Tinubu, and running mate Kashim Shetima is not in the interest of the unity of Nigeria.He noted that there are over 50 million competent Christians from the North who are qualified for the Vice presidential running mate but Tinubu deliberately settled down for a Muslim Prophet E-l Buba disclosed this during a press briefing in Jos and said the political development in the country is unhealthy and it has created more discomfort among Nigerians by dividing the nation along religious lines.
He said there is so much mistrust and division in Nigeria at the moment, that makes it difficult for any party that produces a Muslim-Muslim ticket to win elections.
“When President Muhammadu Buhari came on board in 2015, the Senate President became a Muslim, Speaker House of Representatives became a Muslim and the national chairman of the party a Muslim, a situation that makes the rest of Nigerians begin to nurse fears that there is an agenda.”
Man gives horrifying account of his abduction and near death encounter with Kidnappers at Lekki Ikoyi link bridge in Lagos
A Skate coach residing in Lagos has recounted a chilling encounter of his kidnapped in Lagos, according to his own account, he was allegedly abducted and almost killed by some men disguised as transporters speaking Fulfulde, he narrated that he had just finished his training at a facility on the Island and then decided to board a bus from the link bridge to Iyana Oworo.
''As I got into a bus that called Iyana Oworo, I noticed that there was this weird smell in the bus. Anybody who has been involved in military training or self defense will know gases that knock people off. That was what it was. So I spat in my handkerchief and used it to cover my nose. In about five or then minutes, every other occupants were all asleep asides from the team members who had all brought out their nose masks to cover their nose.''
He said at this point, their leader who was in front looked back and when he noticed he wasn't asleep, he queried him. The victim said it was at this point he knew that the men were kidnappers. He said he appealed to the men to take his phone valued at N1.3 million, his ATM so they can empty his account as well as a big chain he had on his neck worth millions, but they refused.
''They said the only place I am going to come down is where they will dagger me and pieces me. Because they saw that I was shouting, they veered off the road and went to the place that leads to Adeniji Underbridge. It was pitch dark. They brought me out and started using knife, cutlass, different things on me. I am fortified. I am an african. So when they saw that the stabbing attempts, that the knife was not entering...about three of them held my neck, another two held my hand to the back, they put knife on my neck to try and slash my neck and slaughter me but it wasn't penetrating.

The kingpin of street urchins , How a tout became relevant in Nigerian Politics
 |
| MCOluomo |
Lagos was a beautiful sight in south-west Nigeria, one of the wealthiest states of the Yoruba people, the ambience provides the tourist attractions to all and the desire to visit Lagos used to be the biggest dream for all until street urchins invaded Lagos from Kwara, Ibadan, Osun state in the quest for survival.
 |
| Mc Oluomo & women |
consequently Yoruba Parents takes pride in investing in the academic success of their kids since Obafemi Awolowo paved the way for the region with free the Free Education program in south-west region of Nigeria .
The illiterates in Yoruba region were very few and you would have to travel out of Lagos to the villages in search of very poor people who are unable to access schools ,
This was one of the failures of the Free Education program of Awolowo, schools were inaccessible by roads in the villages, some Places have schools far away and to make a trip to such schools will require a long trip
This failure began the neglect which produces the likes of Musiliu Akinsanya popularly known as MC Oluomo who was born in 1975 born to Akinsanya and Abebi Zinat Omotonwo and a school drop out when Education was free.
The Father of Mc Oluomo moved to Lagos from Abeokuta and settled in Oshodi
Another flaws of the Free Education program of Obafemi Awolowo was that, it does not give alternative to School drop-outs, You are abandoned and the system does not provides alternatives to those who cannot comprehend in school, so you have kids blaming their inability to continue school on their parents poverty of their demise as is the case with MC-Oluomo who claimed to have dropped out of school at the age of 13 after his father's death MC Oluomo in his claim, attended Afolabi Primary School in Oshodi and Olu Efon Primary School in Abeokuta for his elementary education before dropping out.
His father's origin is from Abeokuta in Ogun state, this drop-out feels entitled to Lagos since he was born in Lagos where background checks and proper documentation of citizens is still unavailable
How then did a school drop-out gain the prominence terrorizing the entire Lagos as street urchins and using a government institution "Transport Union" as a means of survival, creating wealth for himself
In the 70s and 80s, drop-outs from school often resorts to Bus- parks as (They still do) some of them become notorious for crimes, murders and robberies, A few one becomes conductors, these Bus conductors will wait for Vehicle owners who want to make money conveying passengers from one Place to the other.
Conductors attach themselves to these vehicle owners and start making a living as assistant drivers, some of them will learn how to drive using the same method without government regulation, since the regulators are bribe collectors in government offices, driver's license are then given to bus conductors who through a system of try and error becomes drivers.
Since the conductors have no permanent job and their jobs are dependent on their integrity with a particular driver at a time, they often roam the streets and committing crimes in the cover of darkness
These growing able-bodied men are disenchanted with society and have resigned to fate, unwilling to try out Education, having been shamed out of school half-way, they resort to various crimes.
Their numbers were few in the 60s and 70s because the institution of government was strong, The Police were less corrupt, and criminals were never given a free ride in the state as it is today
This situation never lasted as many dropouts from other parts of southwest and indeed Nigeria were trooping to Lagos to make quick money.
Transportaion was the most thriving trade for these abandoned youths as they could make a quick cash to feed themselves for the day from one trip before being abandoned by the Bus drivers
This is how street urchins began to grow in Lagos,
Since the standard of education was so high and these youths were unable to cope, they figured out a way of standing by the roadsides to ask drivers if they needed a Bus conductor, those who are fortunate get picked for the day, those who are not are left to survive through begging
It was this begging that became the avenue for the collection of tolls by Area boys popularly known as Agbero
some of the drivers will offer a few changes to these young men who did not get a bus for the day when they narrate their misfortune, consequently these Beggers became entitles and made a trade out of it
This is the point where MC Oluomo became a notoriety in Oshodi
Boys like him were trooping to Lagos from Kwara, Ilorin, Osun state, Abeokuta, Oyo state and they made Oshodi their home, some of them moved to Surulere, others moved to Epe , Ipaja, Ajegunle and the street urchins' group were growing
Don't forget, Area boys tricked the system to impose themselves as the face of transportation since the government was astronomically becoming corrupt, and corruption have not legal ground to bring offenders to book, the government abandoned their responsibility to the masses and gave rights to these Area boys who made themselves Kingpins across Lagos
They go by various aliases, they spitted themselves around Lagos and became a menace. some of the notorious criminals were controlling Surulere, there is Toba in Mushin, Muda Adigun, Olodan in Ajegunle, Eje (Blood) at Ajah and Epe and the list is endless
It was on the premise of crime that Politician began to give these criminals relevance in Lagos and other parts of Nigeria,
They would disturb those that are carrying out legitimate business, they beat old men and women in marketplaces to collect money which they called "Owo Ile"
Just Like MC Oluomo, the emergence of Bola Tinubu is shrouded in mystery, sometime in history, a man claimed to be a member of Nadeco and escaped under Abacha and went on exile with some prominent men and returned to Lagos to vie for the position of governor. Not so much was known about Tinubu except that he was hobnobbing the real Lagos people in "Isale Eco" another notorious hideout of street urchins
Since they have formed a net around Lagos, Tinubu at some point invited the biggest of the criminals and assigned them to several task using money to hoodwink them
He raised the bar and made them committed to his cause, extortion from market women and income from thuggery became a chicken fee to these street urchins and they always wait for elections to be compensated by politicians
They travel with politicians in a clandestine manner and are protected in their crimes against the masses, they are notorious for destabilizing elections and polls centers after being paid to do so or outrightly snatching ballot boxes, sometimes murder is part of their assignment depending on the desperation of their assignee
This is how Touts and Thugs were emboldened by the system and they were given license to operate without fear
Bola tinubu promoted these street urchins during his first tenure and subsequently began to promise them heaven on earth if they would help him to hold Lagos in his grips
He did a good job bribing them as some of them had their kids sponsored abroad and even travelled with the elite.
They were hired to destabilize Election in states, some pockets of branches also exist in Ibadan with various actors, they are there in Osun state and across the South.
These menaces are notorious for several unraveled atrocities, they are capable of anything just name it and pay the price
They have been waiting for Tinubu as they consider him as one who gave them leeway into the relevance which has been imposed on them by a failed society
They are known by the Police and are feared even by them in some cases as they are untouchable being protected in the Nigerian failed society
Bola Tinubu enters a nucturnal agreement with miyetti allah over grazing rights
 |
| Tinubu & Shettima |
Miyetti Allah is a terrorist group in the Northern Part of Nigeria, protected by the current Buhari Led administration, notorious for Killings and maiming of citizens in their farms.
They weild guns around the country trespassing on people's farmland and insisting on grazing as against modern best practices of Ranching
Tinubu who has been indicted in a drug related allegation in the United States, a prominent member of the APC party who is also contesting for President despite his obvious health challenges is striking every deal without consultation with the Yoruba people and has continue to enter into a seeming covenant with the North over his ambition while compromising on ethos of the Southwest people who have bluntly kicked against grazing
