  • “Women Laughed at me because of my small manhood and quick release in 40seconds” says 45-Year Old Banker

    “Women Laughed at me because of my small manhood and quick release in 40seconds” says 45-Year Old Banker

    My name is Dave Taidi, and I will be sincere with you some months back, my marriage almost crashed and became a sexless marriage…

    all because of my inability to perform during sex like a real man

    Let me tell you what really happened:

    My wife and I have been happily married for about some years ago, but our sex life was disappointing.

    The major reason was due to the problem of releasing too quick during sex.

    Sometimes within 40seconds of penetrating my wife’s vagina, I would look down and see that I am already releasing my sperm all over her.

    During foreplay with my wife like caressing her, or kissing her… I would notice that suddenly I have poured out my semen.

    But you know the worse part?

    Several times before sex, I was unable to get an erection that could last even 1 minute. And my manhood would just fall and be unable to rise again.

    It was embarrassing and shameful thing to behold because sex with my wife was so boring and always ended within 2minutes.

    At first, my wife was very supportive so I started trying several drugs from pharmacy, using sprays and depressants… just so I could get an erection or even last say 5minutes during sex, but it all came to nothing.

    My condition became much terrible.

    At a point, I thought that this condition was spiritual, I contacted my pastor and I started praying and fasting but no changes in my body system… so I gave up on that.
    The breakthrough finally came when I ran into one of my ex-girlfriend that we were very close during my university days.

    During one of our encounters, she dropped the bombshell. She jokingly asked me…

    ‘Are you now a strong man on bed or you still release even
    before the show starts?”

    I was embarrassed from her question.

    But from the look on my face, she already knew that I was still suffering from the problem.

    I explained my story to her that my condition was still the same thing and how it was almost tearing my marriage apart.

    My ex-girlfriend almost moved to tears and told me that my poor sexual performance in bed was the main reason why she broke up with me and told me to move on because she could not stand it anymore.

    But surprisingly instead of mocking me like she used to do, she gave me the contact of a men health specialist that helped her fiancée to cure him of the same sex related problem I was experiencing.

    At first, I was skeptical and later on talked with my wife and we decided to try the men health specialist.

    The Men health specialist gave me a natural supplement (NAFDAC approved) that contains 50 capsules, to be used twice daily as a curative measure for my quick ejaculation and weak erection issues.

    Truth be told, on the 5th day of using the herbal supplement, I noticed that my erections became stronger and harder in the morning when I woke up.

    Before, I used to wake up and my manhood would just be like that without any erection… like a dead manhood.

     

    But that day, it was different. I had much stronger
    erection without any stress at all.

    I continued using the capsules for 3more days. My wife and I decided to have sex, and I did not release the normal time before of less than 1minute.

    Instead, we made love and had sex for good 15minutes before I released my sperm.

    But even with that, my sexual stamina all through was so much and my wife was unable to stand up immediately after the sex.

    My wife was overjoyed and she confessed that I have
    never handled her that way in bed ever
    since we got married.

    She praised me that during the sex, I performed like a strong, young guy in his early twenties.

    I was still in much doubt, so I decided to give the same capsules to my very close friend that was complaining about his quick release issue and watery sperm.

    After 7days, he too came back again that his condition has improved and he was lasting 20minutes plus in bed with a much stronger erections.

  • Banker, trader charged with $40,000 theft

    An Access Bank Plc worker, Beatrice Nwanna, and a trader, Okwudili Onyetube, were yesterday arraigned before an Igbosere Chief Magistrates’ Court for allegedly defrauding a man of $40,000.

    Nwanna 33, who is attached to the Ladipo branch of the bank and Onyetube, 41, were arraigned before Chief Magistrate Abimbola Komolafe on a four-count charge of conspiracy, fraud and stealing.

    Prosecuting counsel Henry Obiazi, an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), alleged that the defendants committed the offence sometime in February 2015, at Okota.

    He said Nwanna conspired with Onyetube and one Daniel, who is at large, to defraud the complainant, Obinna Ezenwaka, under the pretence that ýthey were going to give him the naira equivalent of his dollars.

    The complainant said the first defendant approached him that she could help him get the dollar equivalent of N20.6million, which is $100,000, but she failed to do so.

    “He said after the first defendant collected the N20.6million from the complainant, she stopped picking his  calls and also refused to return the naira nor the dollar equivalent, after several search for her, she later came to pay $50,000.”

    The offence, the prosecutor said, was punishable under Sections 411, 314 (1), (3)ý and 287 (5) (a) of the Criminal law of Lagos State 2015.

    The duo pleaded not guilty.

    Their counsel, Lanre Adaramimo, urged the court to grant them bail in liberal terms, but the prosecutor objected to the request.

    The prosecutor warned that the defendants would jump bail, as Daniel, who was supposed to be charged with them, escaped from police custody yesterday morning before he could be brought to court.

    He pleaded that the defendants be granted bail that would ensure they came to court for their trial.

    Chief Magistrate Komolafe granted them N3million bail with two sureties each in the like sum.

    The sureties, she said must be employed. They are also to have affidavit of means, proof of bank account, show evidence of three years tax payment and verifiable addresses.

    The case continues September 19.

  • Banker, friend held for alleged N150m fraud

    Operatives of the Special Fraud Unit (SFU) in Ikoyi, Lagos, have arrested two persons, including banker, Wasiu Adegbemi, 35, for alleged N150 million fraud.

    Adegbemi and Kehinde Adegboye were arrested weeks after three bankers, some telecommunications firm workers and others were paraded for fleecing bank customers of their money.

    According to SFU spokesman, Lawal Audu, an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), the duo’s arrest was part of efforts to crackdown on the syndicate.

    He said Adegbemi was arrested in Ile-Ife, Osun State; Adegboye was caught in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

    Audu said 12 Automated Teller Machine (ATM) cards were recovered from the suspects.

    He said: “The suspects are members of an organised Internet fraud syndicate, operating between Lagos and Ibadan. Ten of the gang members were earlier arrested and charged to the Federal High Court, Ikoyi.

    “The unit will not relent in its efforts to check the activities of Internet fraudsters and bring them to book. People should be careful in handling their ATM cards and to report any act of fraud brought to their knowledge.”

    EFCC trails politician, banker over N4b ‘proceeds of crime’ deposit

    BARELY 24 hours after it discovered N250 million at a popular Lagos market, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), last night, announced the discovery of another N4 billion suspected to be proceeds of crime.

    The EFCC said two companies were used to launder the funds in two tranches of N2 billion apiece.
    The statement reads: “A tip-off by a whistle blower on Tuesday, led to another discovery by the EFCC of a staggering sum of N4billion suspected to be proceeds of crime.
    “Investigations as to the owner of the funds revealed that the money belongs to a former deputy governorship candidate in Niger State.
    “The suspect uses the names of two companies – Katah Property & Investment Limited and Sadiq Air Travel Agency- in laundering the funds.
    “Each of the company has N2 billion fixed in its deposit account domiciled in Guaranty Trust Bank.
    “The suspected owner of the account and the account officer are currently on the run.”

    Banker charged with attempt to kill hubby

    A Lagos banker, Oluchi Onyebuchi, who allegedly hired two assassins to murder her husband, was yesterday granted N1 million bail by an Ebute Meta Chief Magistrates’ Court.
    But Magistrate M.O. Olajuwon ordered that the two suppected hired assassins – Chigozie Nworie, 32 and Kingsley Ofelete, 36 – be remanded in Ikoyi Prison.
    It was learnt that the couple had been having issues in their marriage, which compelled them to separate. While they were in court fighting for the custody of their only child, Oluchi allegedly plotted to kill Tochukwu.
    Prosecuting Inspector Babatope Julius told the court that Onyebuchi, 32, contracted Nworie and Ofelete to assassinate her husband on October 9 at 18, Fatai Kofo Street, Agungi, Lekki.
    “The accused made away with the victim’s Land Rover Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) marked LND 275 DZ after hacking the complainant and pouring acid on him.
    “The victim’s HP laptop, iPhone, car documents and other valuables estimated at N9.3 million were also taken away by the accused.
    “Onyebuchi had informed the two accused on where she had hidden machete, cutlass and acid in her husband’s compound which they were to use in eliminating him,’’ the prosecutor said.
    Babatope said Nworie and Ofelete were arrested with the victim’s blood-stained Range Rover on their way to deliver the car to Onyebuchi’s brother in Anambra.
    The trio are facing a three-count charge of conspiracy, robbery and attempted murder.
    The banker denied the charges.
    The pleas of the two others were not taken.
    Magistrate Olajuwon adjourned till January 23.

  • Banker, varsity don recall lucky escape from collapsed Uyo church building

    Banker, varsity don recall lucky escape from collapsed Uyo church building

    Two lucky men who miraculously escaped the collapsed church building in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State in which no fewer than 27 lives were lost, have attributed their lucky escape to divine intervention.

    Mr. Donald Micah, a banker, arrived at the collapsed Reigners’ Bible Church building two minutes before it collapsed while Dr. Chris Ekong, an Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Uyo, whose brother, Dr. Cyril Ekong, died in the tragic event, said he was invited but could not make it to the ceremony.

    Micah, who works with one of the first generation banks, said the story could have been different if he had arrived the church two minutes earlier for the ordination of Apostle Akan Weeks, as he would have been seated inside the auditorium when the roof collapsed.

    He recalled that he was dressed and good to go by 10.18 am but felt it would be too early so he decided to wait till 11 am.

    He said: “This was God delaying me to preserve me. I got to the venue and parked at a distance since the premises was on lock down because of government presence, and I walked in. While approaching the entrance of the church, I heard the sound of the roof collapsing, and then the cries and the commotion, and people scampering in different directions.

    “Within seconds, I witnessed a most tragic scene; a calamity that befell a people. Cries of agony of dying people, the wounded and others that could not but cry in sympathy of those they couldn’t help.

    “I pondered on how God had preserved me and I knew that God has a purpose for my life. That is why I know I cannot die here, I cannot die now and I cannot end like this. There are destinies I haven’t affected yet. There are territories I haven’t taken yet.

    “The plans of God for me has not fully manifested yet and I have not yet affected my world for God in the dimension I am called to. I haven’t yet dominated my world. Still so much to do. I refuse to end here.”

    Micah, whose cousin died in the unfortunate incident, said: “While I’m still in shock and grief over the loss of many loved ones and good friends including a cousin, I thank God that He spared one more life. I am extremely grateful to God for this divine exemption from calamity.

    “Friends, life is a gift. Be grateful to God every time you go out and return safely. I appreciated life and the giver of life afresh yesterday. Life is too fleeting that one has to live in the consciousness of eternity.

    “May God have mercy on the souls of the departed, heal the wounded, lighten the pains and sorrows of the families affected, comfort our land, strengthen the members/pastorate of the church in particular and the body of Christ at large.”

     Dr. Ekong, whose brother, Cyril, died in the unfortunate incident, told The Nation that he never imagined that such a thing could happen.

    He said he had an invitation to attend the consecration of Apostle Akan Weeks as a Bishop but he overslept.

    His words: “For me it is really shocking because I never imagined that such a thing could happen and I never imagined that I would be so close to the event. I was invited to that event and the invitation was coming every minute and the last invitation I had to that event was 2 am to the day, but I did not attend.

    “Not that I didn’t want to attend. I wanted to, but I didn’t. It was when it happened that I got to know that my brother was there. He and other souls were lost in the incident. We can’t get them back. It was really shocking.

    “It was a Saturday morning and I over-slept. So when I woke up, I obviously could not go to the function, but that was the only important thing I had to do that day, so I was wondering. Then a call came from a police man who is my friend and was involved in the rescue of the injured persons. He said look, Oga Chris, I have seen somebody who is like your brother, is he a member of this church?

    “I said no, my brother was not in the church. He was trying to rescue him, and he said, ‘Oga Chris, it is like your brother. That was when I started calling his line. His line was going but nobody was picking. I had to talk to some of my brothers and told them that everybody should start running round to see how we could get him and his wife, because the wife was also involved and she is now recovering in the hospital. She was in Premier Hospital before we moved her to Specialist Hospital.”

    Ekong, who described his deceased brother as a funny and easy going man, said the day before the event, they were together at the family house.

    The don said his brother did not inform him that he would be attending the event and he also didn’t tell his late brother about the function.

    He said: “The day before the event, we were together and we were at home in our family house, because we had a meeting at home and he is a very funny guy. My brother was always keeping to himself; it was only me that he would want to talk to.

    “He didn’t talk much. We had a good meeting on that day and everybody was teasing him in the family house that they had buried his mother-in-law but he had not come to give them something or even talk to them.

    “But he said he would not have to talk to anybody; that he had done that which he was meant to do and that after all, his elder brother, which is me, was there.

    “He didn’t even tell me that he would go to that function and I didn’t also tell him about the function. It was only some hours after we heard that he was gone.”

    Dr. Ekong appealed to the state government to release the corpse of his late brother so that the family could give him a befitting burial.

    He said: “I wanted to get the corpse but I was told that we have to do certain documentations. I asked them what documentations I had to do because this is a young man and with the way he died, I don’t want to keep his body there.”

    The man Akan Weeks

    As members of the public await the findings of the commission of enquiry set up by Akwa Ibom State Government to probe the cause of the collapsed church building, the desire of many is that justice is done by bringing the culprits to book.

    The seven-member panel has Justice Umoekeyo Essang as Chairman, with Engr. James Utiaruk; Arc. Essien Nkanga; Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Abibo; Prophet John Linus; Engr. Asuquo Okon and Engr. James Amiang as members, while Mrs. Emem Victor Daniel of the Ministry of Justice, Uyo, would serve as Secretary.

    Some people have described the unfortunate incident as Akwa Ibom’s day of doom. Others have tagged it a ‘Black Saturday’. No doubt, it is a day many residents of the state will not forget in a hurry. Since the creation of Akwa Ibom State on September 23, 1987, the state had not witnessed a tragedy of such magnitude.

    The General Overseer of the church, Apostle Akan Weeks, no doubt is in the eyes of the storm after the incident. A day that was designed to be his day of glory was turned into ashes in his mouth. His consecration as a Bishop took several lives away while many worshippers are still being hospitalised at 10 different hospitals across the state.

    At the last count, the state government put the figures of dead persons as 26 while 218 worshippers got injured during the building collapse. There were claims by members of the public that the state government played down on the figures of those that died. Some say the figures may be higher considering the gravity of the incident.

    Apostle Weeks, according to local residents, didn’t just start his ministry work. Many say he had been around for close to 18 years preaching the gospel. Before he became a pastor, local residents alleged that Weeks belonged to a ‘cult group’ known as ‘De Norsemen Kclub of Nigeria’, a claim which many of his followers have debunked.

    Weeks, who hails from Iwo Etor village in Etinan Local Government Area, is married to Rev. Comfort Akan Weeks and the marriage is blessed with four children, says a member of the church, who pleaded anonymity.

     Apostle Weeks, whose father was a prominent man, graduated from School of Accounting, Nduetong Oku in Afaha Oku clan, Uyo, where he read Business Administration after which he proceeded to University of Uyo. The School of Accounting is now Uyo City Polytechnic.

    Some of his associates, who spoke with The Nation on condition of anonymity, said while in the school of Accounting, Apostle Weeks was fondly called ‘Naked Wire’. They described him as a strong man who took decisions not minding the consequences of his action; a claim dismissed by many of his followers with a wave of the hand.

    Apostle Weeks’ real name, according to a close associate who did not want his name in print, is Akan Urua. But he changed the ‘Urua’ in his name to Weeks, because Urua in Ibibio dialect means Weeks or Market.

    As weeks metamorphosed into a pastor, he started a church called Reigners Bible Int’l Inc. on Effiong Udo Akpan Street, off wellington Bassey Way, Uyo around 1998. He later established the permanent site of the church at KM1, Uyo Village Road, same environment where he schooled. The permanent site of the church is just by the Redeemed Christian Church of God.

    As a youth pastor, his worshippers/followers are mainly youths. They are students of Uyo City Polytechnic and University of Uyo. Before last Saturday’s disaster, scores of Christians worshipped in the church every Sunday between 7.30 am and 9 am. There is also a Wednesday programme in the church, which starts at 5.30 pm.

    “On the last Friday of the month, Apostle Weeks has an all-night programme called Night of Answers. It starts at 9 pm. When our correspondent visited the church’s website www.ReignersWorld.com for more information about its activities, a message popped up saying: “This site can’t be reached.”

    Before last Saturday’s disaster at the church, some members of his church, who spoke to Saturday Nation, said he had embarked on a power packed prayer conference tagged Liberating the Land.

     At the programme, his followers aver that there were endless testimonies of liberation and transformation of lives. At the close to 40 days event, his worshippers said various deities and principalities encountered the anointing of God.

    Apostle Weeks, in his message to the people after the collapsed building, begged them not to crucify him. He said they should see him as their brother. He spoke with Planet FM in Uyo, a programme which was monitored by our correspondent.

    He said he was no longer interested in being ordained a bishop, adding that the battle was not about him and his church but between the kingdom of darkness and the church in the land.

    He said: “Let nobody believe the speculation that I was enthroned as a Bishop. The enthronement was cancelled completely and I am not interested. I’m more interested in the souls of the people I have laboured to bring to God since my tender age.

    “I am so sorry and sympathise with all the families. Please, we should rise and pray together. We will win the battle.

    “It is very unfortunate the incident that happened on Saturday during my Bishopric Enthronement. I call to say that God is still on the throne. Only God knows best and nobody can question Him.

    “And I want to say that for the departed souls and those who are injured, God will give them quick and speedy recovery. I want to tell every family that is in pain that our God is the healer.

    “Let Christians in Akwa Ibom state know that this battle is not all about Akan Weeks and his church; it is the battle between the kingdom of darkness and the church in the land.

     “I want to say a very big thank you to Governor Udom Emmanuel, the medical personnel, others for their love and support during my trying moment.”

  • Artisan ‘stabs’ banker to death over N1,000 fee

    Artisan ‘stabs’ banker to death over N1,000 fee

    A man identified as Godwin has been accused of stabbing his neighbour to death over N1,000.

    Godwin, a phone repairer at Abule Egba, was alleged to have stabbed 31-year-old Bankole Olubode, a Wema Bank employee, for refusing to give him N1,000.

    Trouble was said to have started after the deceased gave a BlackBerry Bold Five mobile phone to the suspect for repairs.

    It was gathered that the suspect who usually came to Bankole’s house to eat, demanded N1,000 for the repairs.

    Instead of the N1,000, Bankole was said to have given Godwin N500 on Sunday and told him that the other N500 with him was his transport fare to his place of work at Apapa on Monday.

    It was gathered that Godwin was served dinner and he left only to return on Monday night to demand for N1,000.

    When he got to Bankole’s house, his sister was said to have told him that her brother just returned from work and was refreshing, which irked Godwin.

    A fight was said to have ensued between the duo, prompting Bankole to come out of the house to broker peace.

    But as he drew closer, Godwin was said to have stabbed him on the neck and he fell.

    According to Madam Abeni Olokun, Bankole’s scream attracted the attention of other neighbours who ran to the scene and rushed him to a private hospital.

    She said: “The hospital rejected him and he was taken to General Hospital where he died. Because he was a Muslim, his sister wanted his body for immediate burial and the police told us to go and get an affidavit from court.

    “But the annoying thing in the whole matter was that the IPO (Investigating Police Officer) Titus instead of arresting the suspect, turned and asked for money for vehicle to take the suspect to the station.

    “He was told that the deceased was the breadwinner of the family and that their mother was late. His sister does not have money but he didn’t want to hear anything. It seems they are trying to rubbish the case and it is not fair.”

     

  • Assassination attempt: Police arrest female banker, two others

    Assassination attempt: Police arrest female banker, two others

    Suspected fleeing assassins – Chigozie Nworie and Kingsley Ofotele, have been arrested in Ogun State by the Police while escaping to Anambra State with their victim’s Range Rover Jeep – a Sport Utility Vehicle(SUV).

    The two suspects and another yet to be apprehended, attacked their victim, Mr Tochukwu Onyebuchi, in his Compound at Ajah area of Lagos State using cutlass and rods before pouring acid on him, but Tochukwu survived the assassination attempt.

    The Nation gathered that the suspects were hired by the victim’s banker – wife, Oluchi Onyebuchi, to eliminate her husband even as she also supplied the weapons used in the botched assassination bid to the suspects.

    The Police Commissioner in Ogun State, Ahmed Iliyasu, who paraded the suspects before reporters at the Eleweran Headquarters of the Police Command, said the suspects were taken the SUV to Oluchi’s brother in Anambra as instructed by her when the Police in Ogun arrested the at Ijebu – Ode stretch of Sagamu – Benin expressway last Wednesday.

    Iliyasu added that further investigation led to the arrest of Oluchi on Tuesday, this week, at Ayobo area of Lagos State, where she was found hidding in her maiden home.
    “One Oluchi who is married to her husband(Tochukwu Onyebuchi) years ago, but the marriage recently has some problems which prompted the couples to separate from each other.
    “The custody of their only child is being contested in court, but Oluchi has another plan. She arranged with the trio of Chigozie Smart Nworie, Kingsley Ikechukwu Ofotele and one other who is now at large to eliminate her husband.

    “She arranged for the weapons – cutlass, Iron rod and acid to be used and kept somewhere in the husband’s compound in Lagos and described where the weapons were kept to the assailants.

    “The suspects went there as planned, matcheted the man severally on his head and poured acid on him. It was the offensive odour that came out from the suit worn by the victim when the acid touched it that made the suspects to quickly abandon him and took away his Range Rover Jeep which the wife instructed them to take and deliver to her brother in Anambra State.

    “Luck ran against them when the Policemen of Ogun State Command sighted the vehicle along Ijebu – Ode – Benin expressway and stopped it for a search.

    “While searching the vehicle, blood stain was seen and the two occupants – the suspects, were unable to give satisfactory account of themselves, hence they were arrested,” Iliyasu said.

    However, the 32 years old Mrs Oluchi Onyebuchi who is a staff of one of the new generation banks in Lagos, acknowledged that her three years old marriage with her husband is really passing through a stormy weather but said she had “no intention to kill him.”

    Oluchi also denied renting the trio of Chigozie Smart Nworie, Kingsley Ikechukwu Ofotele and one other who is now at large to eliminate her husband.

    The defendants denied the charge.
