WALTER WAGBATSOMA GETS SLAMMED IN LONDON FOR 3 YEARS!


Walter WAGBATSOMA


Most often it's far better to stay at home and weather the storm, then to jump ship thinking one has escaped then you get swamped where you have gone and then the hammer falls and you can't escape no more.

One that tasted that kind of soup before was none other than the former very influential Governor of Delta State and ex-felon James Onanefe Ibori, who had escaped Nigeria to Dubai, the UAE only to get extradited to the UK to face the long arm of the law and then be dumped in Jail for several years for what he could probably have escaped in Nigeria if he had stayed put!

Facing the slammer/jail for 3 years and 6 months now, after being convicted on money laundering charges in far away London in the United Kingdom is none other than oil and gas magnate and big boss at Ontario Oil, it's none other than Mr. Walter WAGBATSOMA!

Not only would he be wearing the designer outfits made specifically for prisoners in the UK, he his also disqualified from being a company director for 6 years!

According to the gist, funds obtained fradulently in the UK were first laundered through a Dubai account under the control of a UK national by name Oluwatoyin Allison, who was tried and convicted in absentia and sentenced to 7 years in the slammer. From Dubai, the funds were subsequently transferred to Walter's UK account!

Oluwatoyin Allison was just one out of many that were involved in this crime of money laundering and fraud, a 13th defendant was also convicted recently too by the Leicester Crown Court.

The investigation into the case was conducted by Lincolnshire Police Economic Crime Unit under Operation Tarlac, in which over £12m was defrauded from public bodies including hospital trusts, housing associations and councils around the UK.

Walter Wagbatsoma, 47, was originally detained on an European Arrest Warrant in June 2016 whilst travelling through Germany. He was extradited soon afterwards and charged with conspiring with others to launder the proceeds of fraud through his business interests in the UK.

Wagbatsoma, was on trial in Nigeria at the time of his arrest for his part in a £1.9 billion oil subsidy fraud for which he was later convicted and sentenced in absentia to 10-years imprisonment in January last year.

This is the third criminal trial for this operation and follows the successful conviction of 12 other defendants in the investigation which began with a complaint of fraud from Lincolnshire Partnership Foundation Trust in September 2011, in which £1.28m was fraudulently obtained by the gang. Subsequently, a further 20 linked offences was identified resulting in losses of up to £12.6m.

After a four-year investigation, those convicted have received prison sentences in excess of 50-years and proceedings are underway to recover the gains of the conspiracy under the Proceeds of Crime Act. This is to make sure that victims can in some way be recompensed for what the Judge described as a “sophisticated and widespread fraud in its conception and execution.”

Deputy Chief Constable Craig Naylor said: “For a small force, this investigation shows that officers in our Economic Crime department have shown real endeavour and determination in investigating what is a huge money laundering and fraud offence.

“Operation Tarlac has now seen thirteen individuals given lengthy prison sentences for their part in an international offence, which has had a national impact on public bodies in the UK. As a force, we have achieved a significant impact against organised crime in this investigation and this shows the hard work by our officers.

“Proceedings are now underway to recover a large amount of money, and I want to personally thank partners for their support and co-operation with us in this investigation and congratulate my officers and staff on a job well done.”

OLORI SEKINAT ELEGUSHI. PICTORIAL CELEBRATION OF HER ROYAL GORGEOUSNESS







The gorgeous beauty is the wife of the super rich, handsome and quite stylish, and most likely still youngest monarch in Nigeria, Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi, Kusenla II, the Elegushi of Ikateland and environs.

Olori (Queen) Sekinat Elegushi is the equally, Immensely stylish wife of his royal majesty. She knows how to wear her garbs. Her ensemble most often are so plum, so gorgeous, so on point they draw loads of admiration and applause.

We have seen her many times and at many events and occasions, where she dazzled all comers and left tongue wagging in admiration. It's not only about her dress sense though, her accessories/ornaments which adds vibe to her outfit and set things apart, separating the girls from the ladies by all these we mean her impressive jewelry collection, by that we mean diamonds and other gemstones are said to be legendary and humongous.

Olori Sekinat from the vibes we have gotten and what we have come to know is in a class of her own. What adds more flavour to the whole package though is that, the Queen of Ikateland is as humble and respectful and well steeped in the culture and tradition of the Yorubas as much as possible.

Kudos to the style icon in the making.

THE GORGEOUS MARRIED LADY AND HER FEMALE LOVER/PARTNER REVEALED!


HILARIOUS "FICTION"
A little bird in the air, who was very involved with this same Deejay lady with the accent, that is wreaking havoc to the married madam's down below (Bermuda triangle or Treasure trove) went with her abroad on a summer holiday last year, where they were all over each other, they flaunted their trip on the social media with much aplomb.

Once they were outside the shores of Nigeria, they didn't really care no more what anybody would say, and that's majorly because they didn't think anyone would be able to do the necessary addition or decipher what was actually going on under the veneer.

That the duo have been an item for a while is a known fact amongst the very close circle of those in the know. People had only just thought that things would thaw out gradually and that both would go their ways. But it seems their love for each other is only getting stronger by the day. Truth be told, married madam with kids who is mixed race has been known to love both sides of the coin for forever, she is said to be dexterous at munching the carpet. But why this particular lady beats the imagination!

Both ladies have been a major item now for about a year if not more, the DJ is a known dyke and a cold hearted one at that, at least according to those who know her, ready to jump onto the next at the drop of a hat, she's very good at dropping "sublimal messages on her former conquests", making fun/jest of how she moves on, quickly always to the next when there is seemingly better things on the other side.

Madam and her man are quite well known, in fact too celebrity at that. Dude was a part of a solid entity, a dancing machine and a singing bird forming a formidable duo then, before unresolvable matters came up and a break came up and now he does his own thing same as the other too. He is thought to love to do his own thing as he pleases when it comes to the ladies, in fact someone once suggested that his or their marriage is one of convenience, as the parties involved are allowed to do what ever pleases them without any restrictions!

Maybe by mistake now, the cat has been let out of the basket and there is now scrutiny on their former incognito, under the radar cosy cosy lifestyle!

A BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO OMAWUMI AS SHE BECOMES MRS IN EVERYWAY POSSIBLE...







Omawumi is a wonderful woman in every way you might want to describe her, very very respectful with a good understanding of our culture and tradition. We have seen her in close quarters and seen her on many occasions how she related with those around her and we were astonished that being a recognised artist of many years standing who normally should carry a chip on her shoulders, none of such was present, she was just herself a virtue we greatly appreciate and commend.

So today Saturday, January 13, 2018 the gorgeous lady of song and her beau of many years- Tosin Yussuf, father of her child and in fact her husband of 2 years running already (their Ikoyi registry wedding was on January 16, 2015 so just a few days more to their 3rd anniversary), today Saturday is their native law and custom wedding as tradition and culture demands it. Just in case you are wondering, why the ceremony? What the couple had done 2 years back was what the law of the state demanded, they had gone to the registry, where they were joined together as man and wife.

What they are doing (have done) now is satisfiying all that their heart and family wants, so the traditional wedding is/was today, Saturday, January 13, 2018 in Omawumi's dad's compound in Warri, Delta State and the party is presently on going, with friends and family in support. 

VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION TO ASK- ARE "HEADS" ALLOWED IN A MARRIAGE? IF SO IS WHATEVER THATS GOOD FOR THE GOOSE ALSO GOOD FOR THE GANDER?



We think maybe we are gradually becoming some sort of "Agony Aunt" this days, with the kind of things we get sometime, that we are asked and begged to publish or post. Imagine the above and after looking very well at it, we have posted the request below, the young lady is especially waiting for you good people to respond and help out.

I have been married now for about 2 and half years, it's been fun galore all of the 2 and half years, some sort of rollercoaster of emotions. My husband is loving, caring, very nice, quite responsible and a good dad to our only daughter.

I am a young, beautiful, curvaceous, slightly tall and very sexually active lady, who loves my husband to a fault. We enjoy a good relationship on all counts, especially a very healthy s#x life, I love the game I wouldn't lie and my husband serves me well, I wouldn't really complain, but with a little snag though, I really, very much so at that enjoy give heads and enjoy getting it in return too, in fact, I had become quite very good at it before getting married, only for me to get married now and nothing of the sort at all now!

I love it when good quality time is given to munching my carpet before the real deal itself is now activated. Getting my oyster well attended to allows my juice to flow and I then become a potty to be shaped anyhow the potter wants. I always always look forward to it!

I forgot to add that my husband is a hunk of a dude who always gets a lot of female attention even when we go out together. He is very good in other aspect of the game only that what I love to high heavens- a good bout if head he doesn't give at all, he has never even attempted it. What's going on? Is it a bad thing to give or love getting a head? Is it something that's is frowned upon in a marriage in this parts? Can I demand for it without making it an issue? Are the different religions against it? Is the "head"  itself not a part of show of love for one you love and trust?

I want to ask my husband but I don't want to look like a wanton or something else.

Now that you have read what was sent to us, we would want to ask our own question, is it against any of our religions to give and take heads? On a normal scale is there something particularly bad or disgusting about it?

DISSECTING APOSTLE JOHNSON SULEIMAN'S NOS 11 PREDICTION/PROPHECY- A FORMER MILITARY PRESIDENT LAID TO REST!

Apostle Johnson Suleiman

Yakubu Gowon

Olusegun Aremu Obasanjo

Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida

Abdulsalam Abubakar



Seers, Prophets etc are those select set via which the God of Creation speaks to His people. They have always existed and would continually be so, till time shall end. Many who understands things, see them as the very mouthpiece of God, the trumpets of God, via which He makes His mind, intentions known. And just like their are true ones, there are also the false ones too. The false modus operandi is to take advantage of the gullible for monetary/pecuniary gains and many have fallen for them too.

And because of their seeming importance in the scheme of things, they are highly coveted and celebrated, so much so that many even refer to them as the conscience of the people. Many have come and gone, many men of renown likes of those in the Bible. There was even a particular historical figure that is still celebrated or looked on with in awe today even though that he had died a long time ago, but whose many predictions still hold water in the person of Nostradamus. Whose predictions and prophesies, stills baffles many till tomorrow.

Since the presiding pastor of the Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide, Apostle Johnson Suleiman was introduced to the public a few years ago, he has gained major prominence/notoriety that has been gradually built up sake of many of his predictions/prophesies that have seemingly hit the target with uncanny accuracies and also because of his seeming fearless and fiery nature.

So because of his antecedence that claim that his predictions are like an ICBMs (Intercontinental ballistic missiles which has unbelievable accuracy at hitting targets across continents), we have thought to examine a few of his 2018 predictions, most especially number 11 of his 50 major predictions/prophecies/pronouncements/proclaimations for 2018.

It has been said that part of how to judge or know for certain, if someone is truly speaking for God is by the accuracy/ies of their words/predictions/prophecies/pronouncements/proclaimations. A major character of God is that He is not doubled tongued, so that should also be a major character of his messenger too.

Why are we examining or trying to dissect the number 11 in particular? It's because one, we should be able to verify that particular one truly sometime soon, it is not as ambiguous as many of the other predictions. Secondly, it's because another seer/prophet had declared same type of prophecy going to 2 years now, but that American based Nigerian/American seer was more precise, with a name and year-2018. He (that seer) mentioned a name and date.

So now, 2 seers have said a military President would be laid to rest and from what we know and that is very obvious, there are 4 former military Presidents/heads of states still alive, all of them above 60.

We have retired Generals- Yakubu Gowon, Chief Olusegun Aremu Okikiola Obasanjo GCFR, Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida and the last, but not the least Retired General Abdusalami Abubakar. If out current President is added for any reason, that would make the number 5 in all. But Apostle Suleiman specifically mentioned the incumbent, PMB in another prediction on number 10, saying he PMB would be rushed abroad on an (medical) emergency!

The oldest of these lot is General Gowon at about 80 plus (83 to be more precise), followed by Chief Obasanjo at 80 going in 81 in May of 2018, who many have claimed does not know his real age, so could in fact be the oldest but Chief Obasanjo the Owu warlord is still as seemingly strong like a man in his 50s, both are followed by IBB at 76 who should clock 77 in August of 2018, who for a while now has been ailing and then the youngest of them all who seem to be the strongest is AbdulSalami Abubakar at 75 and would be 76 in June of 2018!

So of these 4 or maybe 5, who is the Apostle speaking of or about?

IN CELEBRATION OF WHAT COUNTS, WHAT MATTERS & WHAT IS BEST. VERONICA EBIWEMI OMOFOMA



We need to always look for and to celebrate in this part of the world, achievements and things that counts and that really makes sense. Not always about such people and such acts that do not edify nor inspire others, but people and actions that says and markets hardwork and perseverance as positive things.

So we have made up our mind, that we would from now on allow our platform to celebrate those kind of positive achievers, who can also positively inspire others to do the right and correct things. We would do our best to educate and inform, while also at the same time exposing what needs to be exposed.

The young lady here by name "Veronica Ebiweni Omofoma" at just 28 is a genius from Nigeria that is worth celebrating to high heavens for all the right things.

She studied for her 1st degree in "Electrical Electronic Engineering" at the University of Hull in the United Kingdom, where she came out with a "First-class degree" and she even graduated as the "best overall graduating student at the University. Then she went on immediately to do her Master's, with a distinction in Petroleum Geophysics and Underwater Science at the London Imperial College, not yet done, she went further at still at her young age of 28 and she already has her PhD too!

Now that she's done with all the academics, we are too sure that she has the universe in front of her as her oyster. This is one extraordinary trailblazer in the making set to take over the world and we are happy to celebrate her and others like her.

Thanks to Alibaba the king of comedy, for bringing her to our attention!


OLUWO OF IWO- EMPEROR TELU 1, IS THIS NIGERIA'S MOST FLAMBOYANT ROYAL FATHER?








In every way and manner you might want to describe him he is loud!

Is it in the way he talks or what he says? Is it in his way of dressing? Those royal garbs he loves to adorn are what you can describe as "loud for a purpose".  They come in all the loudest colours that comes to mind, be it blood red, sunflower yellow, royal purple, florescent green, awesome burgundy, badass blue, just think of the colour, this King or should we say self styled Emperor of Iwoland is not shy at all! It's like the louder the colour, the more at home and comfortable the king is in wearing the outfits.

And it's not only just about the colours of the garbs or ensemble alone, even the embroidery and designs on the outfits are not for the faint hearted at all. They are supremely and outrageously dramatic. And when we say ensemble, we mean that it is a complete garb, which includes his pair of colourful shoes too, his royal staff bedazzled with crystals and with the big bird on it shining proudly for all to see, and even the crown is not left out at all emblazoned in Swarovski crystals and they come in all colours too. And lest we forget, even Kabiyesi's sunshades are also loud too! It's like everything about him is deliberately made to make a statement, some would even say to intimidate!

At least we are glad, that the days of drama, when royal fathers used to command so much attention and respect is back again! Not only does the OLUWO of Iwo, the self styled Emperor of Iwoland, Oba AbdulRosheed Adewale Akanbi, Telu 1, the "Alashe Lori Orisha" meaning the "grand commander (authority over) of the gods"; the gods here referring to the ancestors who were once alive and have died and have gone on to become influences over and above the living (that's how he himself explained it). The title doesn't just end there, it goes on as the "Asoju Eledumare" meaning the "Special Envoy" or the "Very Representative of the God", the Natural Paramount Ruler of Iwoland, even his own rendition of his own titles is sagacious to say the least.

For you to even better understand it, even the King's wife, who is Jamaican born and who is the King's number 1 accessory, a proper eye candy we dare say that's by virtue of what she also adorns is also always the cynosure of all eyes when she and her husband goes out together or are seen out together.

So is this King (Oba)/Emperor Nigeria's most flamboyant/colourful king by all standards?

More after the break.

OBA ADEYEYE ENITAN BABATUNDE OGUNWUSI THE OJAJA II- THE 1ST CLASS ROYAL FATHER WITH THE HEART OF GOLD. ALWAYS LOVING TO TOUCH BASE WITH THE COMMON PEOPLE




Though his fortune changed forever from being just a Prince to becoming the most revered Yoruba king in the universe all of 2 years ago, that has not in any way affected his imperial majesty's humanity.

The well loved, well respected, handsome and very influential figure has not allowed his stool and position to remove from his heart his love for the people, most especially the less privileged, who due to one reason or the other have not heard it great or fantastic. So to always keep him grounded, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Babatunde Ogunwusi, the Ojaja II, the Oonirisa of the world still does all he can to connect with the realities around him.

Hear the kabiyesi as he delivered his new year message to the people a few days back via his Instagram page-

 “There Was a time I Boarded the BRT Bus In Lagos. The Reason Is Very Simple; I am Quite Passionate About Mankind, So I Developed a Concept to live like the Common Man Atleast Once Every Month Because I Believe We Did Not Come Into this World With Anything. I Would Drop Everything I Have to live like An Average Man Struggling In life. I Would Visit People Under the Bridge, Ride On a Motorcycle And Board a ‘Molue’ to Wherever I Was Going In Lagos. It Was Very Stressful But those times Were My Best Moments In life Because I Got to Relate With the Real People.

I Saw their Sufferings And Felt their Plights. When I Ascended the throne, I Requested the Elders to Grant Me the Opportunity to Continue the Concept, but they Did Not Agree, So I Coined a New One that Would Go In line With the throne, Which Is Stopping My Convoy Whenever I get to a Particular Open Place With Moderate Crowd And Buy ‘Boli’ (Roasted Plantain) And ‘Dundu’ And Other Basic Food Items Because We Don’t Have to Forget Where We Are Coming From In life. Which Position Are you that Nobody Has Never Been In life? When you Serve Mankind, you Serve God. Our People Have Disconnected From the Less-Privileged And the Downtrodden. Each time I Stop, the People Are Always Happy And My Security Men Are Usually Afraid And they Caution Me to Get Into the Car But I Always Make them Realise that I Cannot Be Harmed By these People.

They Are Just Excited And I am Always Happy to Be In their Midst. At times, I Would Not Come Out of the Car But Most times, I Do Get Out to Shake People’s Hands and I would Buy From them What they’re Selling And Pay them Higher than What they Have Sold. I Will Be Sick if I Am Not With the Common People; It Has Always Been My Lifestyle. ”
