NCC Advises Naija on killer phone numbers but to beware of killer sims

NCC Advises Naija on killer phone numbers but to beware of dubios sim&tariffs bundled with facebook from S.Africa

The 'killer' numbers are supposedly 09141 and 091441. So basically, when these numbers call you and you pick = you die! Some people claim that 10 people died in Wukari while receiving calls from these phone numbers. Really? Wow! And some people are buying this? OK!

Anyway, the Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, has advised Nigerians to ignore such rumours. The commission said the claim is false and without any iota of truth, and that nothing like that could happen to somebody responding to a phone, no matter the number through which such calls are made. It is only very gullible people that will believe such a rumour, they said


LAGOS, NIGERIA—Nigeria’s government is assuring people in Africa’s most populous nation: a phone call can’t kill you.

A text message has spread across the oil-rich country in recent days, warning that people will die if they answer mobile phone calls from 09141. The widespread fear forced the Nigerian Communications Commission to issue a statement Wednesday saying it is “unimaginable that somebody will die while receiving a call.”

Commission spokesman Reuben Muoka says: “It is only very gullible people that will believe such a rumour.”

Text message panics in Nigeria have included rumours of bombings and rumours that acid rain from seasonal dust storms can burn people alive. The campaigns are aided by poor education and lack of faith in the government.

A call to the number Thursday resulted in no fatalities.

Housewife who was Raped And Impregnated By Robbers

How I Was Raped And Impregnated By Robbers, Housewife Tells CourtA Lagos housewife has narrated to an Ojo Grade ‘A’ Customary Court, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria how she was raped by armed robbers while travelling to Abuja to process her travelling documents to Italy.

Responding to an application filed by her husband, Mr. Romanus Agu, a Nigerian based in Italy, seeking dissolution of the 10-year old marriage on grounds of infidelity and having a child outside marriage, Mrs. Ugonma Agu described her husband’s accusation that she was impregnated by one of her lovers as untrue.

Narrating how she got pregnant for another man, Ugonma said: “My husband sent me money from Italy to process our travelling papers to join him in Italy and said I have to go to Abuja to do that. I told him I don’t know anybody there and he got angry. He suggested that I go with a night bus and that when I get there in the morning, it will be easy for me. I took the night bus the following day and we were attacked by armed robbers. All the money with me was taken and I was also raped.

“I called my husband and told him all that happened and he yelled at me. A few weeks later he called to apologise and also sent money for me to abort the pregnancy. When I got to the hospital, the doctors told me there was nothing there. But five months later, I realized that I was pregnant and decided to keep it without his knowledge.”

The petitioner had sought to divorce Ugonma on grounds of infidelity, threat to life, lack of love and having a child outside marriage.

According to him, after their marriage on 29 December, 2001 he moved his family to Enugu State and after a few years returned to Italy.

“Not too long after my departure, I started receiving several calls from some of my friends and kinsmen back home about my wife’s infidelity and how she was seen in different hotels with different men. I called her father and told him all I heard and also asked him to caution his daughter.

“Her infidelity was confirmed when she got pregnant for one of her lovers in 2007 and moved to his house in Lagos without my knowledge,” he told the court.

He also accused her of being carefree and unable to feed his children properly. He pleaded with the court to grant him custody of his kids.

The respondent denied the allegations and accused him of neglecting his children. “He insults me whenever I ask him for money,” she added.

After hearing the parties, the president of the court, Mr. T.A. Saheed adjourned the case to 20 September, 2011.

Chinua Achebe Forces 50 Cent To Rename 'Things Fall Apart' Film

So, 50's football film Things Fall Apart has been dropped out of media rotation for awhile, so in this circumstance where it's back to topic, I couldn't be happier, as you're favorite fall-off rapper is now being busted by one of the world's greatest penmen.

Nigerian author Chinua Achebe dropped his literary masterpiece Things Fall Apart back in 1958 (you probably read it in school), and, you'll probably remember, inspired The Roots to name their staple album after the novel. Achebe's title was originally pulled from Yeats' poem "The Second Coming," and now that 50's looking to nab it for a cool $1 million, Achebe's camp has given him a complete literary bitch-slap over the matter.

Here's what Achebe's lawyer said: "The novel with the said title was initially produced in 1958 (that is 17 years before rapper 50 Cent was born), [is] listed as the mostly read book in modern African literature, and won’t be sold for even $1 billion."

So it goes now, 50 has gone with the title All Things Fall Apart, which is still a rip, but whatever

MOSUN FILANI: MUYIWA ADEMOLA AND ODUNLADE ADEKOLA 'THE UNTOLD STORY ABOUT THE THREE OF THEM'

Mosun Filani is one of the prettiest damsels in the Yoruba movie sector who makes the genre tick. She is subtle, sultry, and very attractive.
She looks vulnerable but her articulate disposition coupled with her beautiful face and a figure that turn heads are some of the assets that has made her one of the most sought after actresses at the moment.
But don’t be deceived by her susceptible looks because she has told many that she has what it takes to last in the industry.
After her secondary school education in the ancient city of Ibadan, Mosun secured an admission into the Federal College of Education, Osiele, Ogun State. It was while there that she joined the popular Waheed Ijaduade Theatre Group from where she learnt the ropes in the make belief trade and turned out an excellent product.


Waheed Ijaduade, who is a strong force in the Abeokuta movie industry as an actor, movie producer and also director of note, knew that he had a huge talent in his hands and encouraged her to get to the peak of her career.

It was while with Ijaduade’s group that Mosun was alleged to strike up an affair with the then up and coming actor,Odunlade Adekola who is now a star actor and one of the fastest growing in the sector, who is also based in Abeokuta.

Those in the know say that the relationship was so strong that no one believed they could ever separate.

According to those who were close to her, that relationship also helped to catapult the unknown Mosun to prominence because she used to accompany Odunlade to almost every movie location and the popularity of Odun,as Odunlade is fondly referred to, amongst the producers and actors, coupled with her boss’ strong force in the industry, she began to get roles in movies produced by Abeokuta based producers.

We also learnt that as soon as she began to get popular as a result of the increasing jobs she was getting, Mosun quickly changed base to pitch her tent with star actor, Muyiwa Ademola after meeting him on a movie set where they acted together.

A relationship was said to have kicked started between the two and Muyiwa Authentic, as he is fondly called, became her center of existence.
It was gathered that when the news of her relationship with Muyiwa hit town, it was not only Odun that was disappointed but also other producers who are Odun’s friends and many of them were said to have vowed not to give her roles again.

And within a short while, we gathered that her face faded out and became scarce in movies done by the Abeokuta producers. But what she lost in Abeokuta, she was said to gain even more in the Ibadan axis courtesy of Muyiwa Ademola as he was said to have secured roles for her in movies shot by his numerous producer friends and those he coordinated.

So busy was Mosun in Ibadan that she had to relocate from her Abeokuta base to Ibadan to be able to concentrate on her work.

However, we gathered from close associates who knew of their closeness that it was not only Mosun that suffered a setback due to her relationship with Muyiwa Ademola as the affair ruined the brotherly relationship between Odunlade and Muyiwa and also the relationship between Muyiwa and other Abeokuta producers who vowed to stick by and support Odun whom they saw as one of their own.

We also learnt that when the news hit town that Mosun had relocated to Ibadan so as to be close to Muyiwa Ademola, she was quick to react by telling anyone who cared to listen that she actually went to Abeokuta for her study and along the line, found herself in acting and since her family were based in Ibadan where she incidentally had her early education and grew up, she had to go back to place she calls home.

Meanwhile, while her relationship with Authentic was hot, Mosun always played the lead roles in Muyiwa’s movies and those he coordinated. Such was his influence in her career that he started making enemies with his friends.

We gathered that he once had a run in with his long standing friend Adebayo Tijani, the producer of “Apesin” who reportedly had a fight with Muyiwa over his imposition of Mosun over other babes in their group since she was getting all the lead and juicy roles.

Meanwhile, Muyiwa Ademola is a married man and one way or the other, his relationship with Mosun Filani was said to have gotten to the wife and according to insiders, she once went to warn Mosun to steer clear of her husband and when it seemed Mosun was unrelenting, Muyiwa’s wife was said to have sent emissaries to Mosun whom we gathered warned her to desist from her affair with Muyiwa or she would live to regret her actions.

When Mosun saw that that the threat was taking the shape of reality, she relocated back to Abeokuta where she had initially abandoned and settled down to her rental business.Meanwhile, according to those in the know, Mosun who has dated quite a number of people in and out of the industry is not happy about the development as she was said to have greatly cherished her love affair with Muyiwa more than what she has had with any other person.The reason, we learnt, is because during her liaison with Muyiwa, she gained a lot of confidence in the industry through the constant use of her face on movie posters and jackets courtesy of the man called Authentic.
Mosun has featured in many movies with Amin Ayo bringing her to limelight just as her role as Tracy in jenifa,a movie produced by Funke Akindele also made her very well known.Other movies she has featured in include Apesin, Iranse Aje, amongst others.She has also produced some movies like Alaamu, Iran Kefa and Iku Ewa.

INI EDO: THE UNTOLD STORY OF THE STAR ACTRESS "Darkness is Her Real Surname

Iniobong Edo may be the biggest actress Akwa Ibom State and indeed the South-South can boast of at the moment but those who know her say the name Edo is not her real name as she may have been ashamed of bearing her father’s name.

We gather from close family sources that the star actress’s surname is not Edo and wondered how she got the name.

The source who spoke to us swear that her father, though happy with her success, is not very comfortable with her for changing his name and rubbishing his family name.

We learnt that her real surname is Ekim (Darkness) while she was still struggling to break into the industry, she believed that a name as dark as darkness would not augur well with her, hence she first changed the name to Unwana(Light).But later, she was advised by some friends to look for a more funkified name and after muling for sometime, she decided to settle for the name Edo which to her,is sweet and sharp and does not have to do with darkness at all.

But be that as it may, the name has opened doors for her and no one is sure if a name like Ekim would not have brought her down.

Robbed, raped & axed in their private parts. 3 sisters ordeal at the hands of Evil Robbers in Bariga

For three sisters in Bariga area of Lagos, January 14, 2011 would remain a terrible date in their minds till they breathe their last. On the fateful day, three armed young men allegedly invaded their home, causing unmitigated misery and sorrow.



The men reportedly robbed the three ladies of cash and other valuables. They then took turns to rape their victims. Ogba and Adibe

That wasn’t all. The men then abused and humiliated the sisters by using the handle of their axe to ravage their private parts.

One of the ladies, who was pregnant at the time, allegedly lost her pregnancy. And by the time the monsters in human skin left, the entire room was like a slaughter house with small pools of blood everywhere.


The incident happened at Lawal Street, Bariga.

Nemesis has, however, caught up with two of the suspected robbers. Amaechi Ogba and Ikenna Adibe, both 25, have been arrested in connection with the incident and are both telling the police what they know about the dastardly act. Ugo Nweze, the third suspect, is still on the run. The robbers were said to have climbed the fence around 2.30 am, broke the door with an axe and forced their way into the room.

They robbed the three girls of money and other valuables and later gang-raped them. One of the ladies, who was two months pregnant at the time, lost her baby in the process. She, like the others, almost bled to death.


Among the items stolen from the ladies was a Blackberry, which was allegedly sold to one Isa Muhammed for N13,000. Ironically, it was through the phone that the men of the State Anti -Robbery Squad (SARS), Ikeja traced and arrested the buyer. Muhammed subsequently took the detectives to the two suspects. On March 6, Adibe and Ogba were arrested. They have since been cooling their heels in police custody.


The victims have also identified both suspects as among the trio that robbed and raped them.

Adibe, in a chat, told our reporter that his gang members and their victims were all neighbours in the Ilaje area of Bariga, admitting that they had robbed the area on two occasions.

He said after forcing their way into the victims’ room, they robbed and raped the ladies.

“They cooperated with us and we collected their wedding rings, their money and their ATM cards. We later raped them.


We raped the three girls in their rooms and we later inserted the handle of the axe in their private parts. One of them even begged us that she was pregnant, but we didn’t budge.” Adibe, who said he hails from Ebonyi State, said one of the victims attended the same secondary school with him in Bariga. He said they spent only one hour in the house of their victims. The other suspect, Ogba, said they used clothes to cover the victims’ faces so that they would not be identified.


“Immediately we took the ATM card, I quickly went to a bank and withdrew N5, 000. Ugo Nweze, who is now at large, was the one who said we should not pity our victims. Immediately we were arrested, the victims were able to identify us because we were all neighbours. We are pleading that we should be forgiven. It was the devil that used us,” he pleaded.


Officer-in-charge of SARS, Mr. Abba Kyari, a superintendent of police (SP), said it was the information on the Blackberry that served as a guide for the policemen. Through the information, the detectives swung into action and arrested the receiver and eventually, the suspects, he said.

Abba said the two suspects had confessed that they had been terrorising the Bariga area of Lagos for some time.


One of the victims, who wouldn’t want her name mentioned, said the experience was bitter and pathetic.

Her words: “We never knew such an incident could happen in our area. We were suddenly woken up in the night and we saw people jumping in through the fence. They broke our door and forcefully entered our room. They demanded for money and we gave them what we had. They demanded for our ATM cards and we gave them. They demanded for our wedding rings, we also gave them. When they demanded for sex, we pleaded with them, using the name of Jesus Christ.


They refused and raped the three of us. As if that was not enough, they started using the handle of the axe with which they broke our door to penetrate our private parts. They didn’t stop until they saw blood coming out.” The lady said they went to the Bariga Police Station to report the ugly incident and later went to the hospital to have themselves examined. “A doctor said we had contacted some Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) and we were treated.


One of the policemen later informed us that they had arrested the suspects and when we got to the police custody we realized that the two suspects were our neighbours. They also confessed and begged us to forgive them for the evil they did to us.” Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr Yakubu Alkali, said he was baffled with the acts of the robbers, who not only rob their victims, but also raped them. He said the young men had confessed to their sin. Alkali also said the police recovered an axe and a cutlass used during the operation from the suspects.


When our reporter visited the scene of the robbery, fear was still written on the faces of many people. A resident, Mr. Akin Agbaje, said they had been living in fear of armed robbers since last year. He said many people have fallen victims in the area and appealed to the police to be more vigilant even as he commended them for apprehending the suspects.


According to Alkali, the suspects would be arraigned in court as soon as investigations are concluded.
