Ese Oruru: Handover Shifted To Wednesday

The much anticipated handover of Ese Oruru, the teenager allegedly abducted from her Bayelsa home will now take place tomorrow.

Force spokesperson, Bisi Kolawole, told anxious journalists who waited for several hours at the Police Headquarters in Abuja that the inability of Ese’s parents to arrive on time led to the postponement of the exercise, Channel Television reported.

Ese was allegedly abducted eight months ago and moved to Kano for forced marriage.

She was freed on Monday night, following a directive by the Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase, to the Commissioner of Police in Kano State, Mohammed Katsina.

Reports say Miss Oruru was allegedly abducted from her Bayelsa Home, and her parents, after trailing her to Kano, battled for months to have her back.

In the meantime, rights group, the Muslim Rights Concern is asking the authorities to immediately commence the prosecution of Yunusa, the man alleged to have abducted her.

Her father, Mr Charles Oruru had told Channels Television in Yenagoa that Ese was the most courageous of his children and so he does not think that her alleged abductor took her to Kano on her free will.

This is affirmed by Ese’s siblings who believe something mystical may have been done to her to accept leaving Yenagoa for Kano.

Exposed: Pregnant Lady Sending Love Message to Boyfriend, Caught in the Act

These days, about 65% of marriages in the cities end in divorce but about 95% of marriages from our villages are still succeeding till death do them part. What does that tell you? Many of the girls you see in cities today are not ready for what is called "marriage". They just need a man who will put them in his house and be paying their bills and they use it as a cover (married woman), while they continue to sleep around like misguided secondary school girls who just got introduced to sex. Sigh!

Sincerely, in this present day, if you want to enjoy the essence of marital bliss, the best option is to go to a family that has inculcated life's values in their daughter. But if you just meet any of these girls who use flashy phones, long nails, artificial lashes, claiming 'I am a student or I am into buying and selling; and you say you have seen a wife you want to marry, my brother na sorry be your name oh!

In fact, if these category of ladies are pregnant for you it doesn't stop them from sleeping with other men. The same pregnancy they use in trapping you could even belong to another man. It's that bad!

Just imagine this scenario: A man took his pregnant wife out to make her happy, but at the venue she got herself busy sending text to a boyfriend, saying she misses him and can't wait to meet with him.

A guy who was sitting at the top seat above the couple saw the dirty messages she was sending and could not stomach it, he had to pass a note to the husband, asking him to read it when he gets home...



...here's the note the guy gave to the husband...he couldn't believe his eyes!

No Banking Day: Customers boycott Service Today

The Consumer Advocacy Foundation of Nigeria (CAFON), a non-profit making organization, has threatened to boycott banking services from today, Tuesday, March 1, 2016, owing to perceived arbitrary charges by commercial banks.

Consequently, Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, has called on bank customers to be vigilant against excessive bank charges and channel complaints to appropriate authorities, instead of participating in the boycott of banking services. 

CAFON said: "It is pertinent to note that the Nigerian banking system had seen radical reforms in recent years in order to drive the Vision 20: 2020 programme. As part of this broad policy initiative the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, rolled out the cashless policy with a number of options in the electronic payment systems, including the mobile banking. 

"To achieve this, the CBN had enlisted electronic and telecom service providers to ensure convenience and safety.

"In addition, the Bank also set up the Consumer Protection Department, CPD, saddled with the responsibility of ensuring that bank customers are not unduly   short-changed by the commercial banks.

“Meanwhile, it is equally expected that while the regulators are doing their bit, bank customers must not only insist, but persist in demanding that their respective banks give them good service and at affordable charges. 

"Nigerians should note that the bank-customer relationship is personal and contractual and should seek for redress when shotchanged." 

Meanwhile, the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, has called on bank customers to be vigilant against excessive bank charges and channel complaints to appropriate authorities instead of participating in the boycott of banking services. 

The apex bank stated this in response to the boycott of banking services today called by Consumer Advocacy Foundation of Nigeria (CAFON). 

Two weeks ago, CAFON launched a campaign against the introduction of Stamp Duty charge of N50, Current Account Maintenance Fee and excessive bank charges. The group called on bank customers to boycott all banking services in March to protest the charges. 

However in a statement issued yesterday, the CBN faulted the boycott, saying CAFON should rather encourage Nigerians to take complaints that were related to wrongful bank charges to the appropriate quarters.
