Horror! See the Dramatic Moment the Ground Opened Up and Swallowed a Car on the Street.

Many eyewitnesses have been left utterly dumbfounded after a car got swallowed in the middle of the street at night.

The car stuck in the sinkhole

A massive sinkhole has swallowed up a car on the street leaving the owner in complete shock.

A video showing the tragic moment has emerged.

The video, filmed by a witness, shows the dark-coloured car hanging on to the sinkhole's edge by its front wheels.

The vehicle – which is already at least three quarters submerged – then appears to shake and sink further, leaving it hanging onto the road's edge by just one wheel.

It is then pulled into sinkhole, before emergency services could save it.

Rescue workers attempted to drain the six metre sinkhole – but they were unable to find the car.

It is believe it may have been carried away by the underground river that created the sinkhole.

According to Daily Star UK, it is understood the area – located in the Russian city of Ufa – has been plagued with sinkholes.

Car owner Larisa Krasheninnovkova said: “Two months ago, cracks appeared in our home, the ground beneath us is shifting, and now — especially after this incident [with the car] — we don’t know what to expect."

It is believed council officials have offered Larisa a replacement car.

See the Massive Fish Caught in Uganda, More Expensive than the New IPhone 7 (Photos)

A massive fish is set to break the record scale of the price of fishes in an African country, Uganda.

The massive fish in question

 

There is an ongoing heated debate online concerning the "outrageous" price of a massive fish was which was caught by fishermen recently at Ggaba Landing site in Uganda.

 

According to a report, the fish which weighed 205Kgs was sold at Shs4.2 million (over $1200 i.e nearly N500,000).

But the price tag did not go down well with online users who are currently debating on the trending photos - with most saying the price should be Shs2.4 million (which is nearly $700 i.e N300,000).

 

Whatever the actual price is, it still costs more than the new iPhone 7 which costs nearly $700.

My mind flies over the moon
My heart races in love

WILL ZUMA GO TODAY?

The extended ANC NEC meeting is undoubtedly one of the most important political events in South Africa for the past decade, says Prof. Susan Booysen, a lecturer of politics at University of the Witwatersrand.

"The extended NEC meeting is certainly not normal and we know that what is unfolding are deliberations at the highest level about the future of the president," she says. "We know what is at stake. We know he'll go in due course, but it is also important to see when he goes. For the first time in almost a decade the NEC is waking up, saying they're seriously considering recalling the president."

Booysen says this is significant because the NEC members have to overcome their own hurdles, such as their deep loyalty to President Jacob Zuma. At the same time there is a history of damage caused to the party by recalling President Thabo Mbeki that would be fresh in everyone's minds.

Will Zuma be recalled as president today?

This is crystal ball stuff, but there is a 50/50 chance, says Booysen.

"What we do know is if there had not been a serious discussion about it, the meeting would've ended yesterday. There is an existential debate going on between members. People are emotional and I understand that some have even almost come to blows. At this stage it's impossible to say whether he will be recalled, but there is a serious possibility."

What will the repercussions be if the motion to recall Zuma fails?

According to Booysen there will likely be very serious implications if the motion to recall the president fails, especially for those members who is driving the motion. 

"One would hope that the president is driven by reason and that public pressure will keep him from firing the members who advocated for his departure, but we know that he is willing to do anything for his own survival. He is happy to push through with these decisions and we may very well see a cleansing operation if the motion fails," she says. 

"It is a dangerous president who is wounded and angry and it may well make him reckless. We've seen his temperament. He doesn't care about the country or even the ANC. If he's let off the hook for now, we may all be in for serious trouble."

How I Blocked Atiku from Becoming President - Anenih

While reading from excerpts from his book, a former PDP BoT Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party has revealed how he blocked former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar from becoming president.

Chief Tony Anenih

 

A former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party’s Board of Trustees, Tony Anenih, said he blocked ex-Vice-President Atiku Abubakar from succeeding former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Anenih stated this in his book, titled ‘My Life and Nigerian Politics,’ which was presented in Abuja on Saturday.

Anenih, who served as the Minister of Works and Housing between 1999 and 2002, said Abubakar became too ambitious during the build-up to the 2003 presidential election in which Obasanjo was seeking a second term.

“As a result of my preparations for Chief Obasanjo’s second tenure, I stepped on the toes of many of those who did not want him to seek a second term. These are the people I can now refer to as members of the ‘G3’. These were General Ibrahim Babangida, (ex-) Vice- President Atiku Abubakar and the (ex-) National Security Adviser, General Aliu Gwarzo.

“There was no other way I could have offended the vice-president other than that I prevented him from being PDP’s presidential candidate in the 2003 presidential election. He erroneously believed that he was the only politician at the Villa and that he was better qualified than the President. I was well ahead of him in all his plans to prevent Chief Obasanjo from running (for re-election).”
Anenih, however, noted that after blocking Abubakar, the former vice-president also ensured that he (Anenih) lost his position in Obasanjo’s cabinet.

The former PDP BoT Chairman also claimed that he was the one who made Atiku second-in-command in 1999.

He said after the PDP presidential primary of 1998, the then Chairman of the party, Solomon Lar, recommended three northerners to be Obasanjo’s running mate.

The three nominees were Prof. Jerry Ghana, Abubakar Rimi and Adamu Ciroma.

Lar was said to have told Obasanjo that Rimi was his preferred candidate but Obasanjo wasn’t convinced.

Anenih, according to the book, then advised Obasanjo to pick Atiku, who had just won the governorship election in Adamawa State and was waiting to be sworn in.

He added, “I asked Obasanjo whether he would want a vice-president that would give him absolute confidence and allow him to sleep with his two eyes closed or whether he would want a vice-president he did not trust.

“He answered that he would like to sleep with his two eyes closed. It was at this point that I asked him: ‘What about Atiku?’ Chief Obasanjo’s answer was that Atiku had just won his governorship election and the law might not allow him to come on board as his running mate.

“We both decided to get a lawyer to advise us and Barrister Alimi Rasaq of Kwara State was sent for. He advised us that there was nothing in the constitution that prevented Atiku from being his running mate; especially as Atiku had not been sworn in.”
Speaking at the book presentation, which had in attendance several PDP leaders, Anenih announced that he had quit politics.

However, former President Goodluck Jonathan, who was a special guest of honour, rejected Anenih’s retirement, urging him not to abandon the PDP.

Meanwhile, the ex-minister said he survived death after an eight-hour heart surgery.

He stated this during a thanksgiving service held at Our Lady Queen of Nigeria Pro-Cathedral Church, Garki, Abuja.

He said, “There is nothing God cannot do if you believe in him sincerely. I had a problem with my heart. So I was subjected to eight hours of surgery and seven doctors were carefully selected to do that because of their experience.

“Before the operation, the seven doctors told the people that accompanied me (to the hospital) that I wouldn’t make it. I heard them.”

The event was attended by ex-Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar; ex-Vice-President Namadi Sambo; Aliko Dangote; Second Republic Vice-President, Alex Ekwueme; a former Governor of Kogi State, Idris Wada; ex-Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido; a former Governor of Niger State, Babangida Aliyu; Prof. Jerry Gana and others.

We are Conductors by Day, Robbers by Night - Suspects Confess (Photo)

Two bus conductors, 22-year-old Lateef Sodiq and 21-year-old Tunde Lawal, have been nabbed by men of the Lagos State Command after robbing a motorist of his Honda saloon car.

The duo are members of a car-snatching gang operating in Lagos.

According to the suspects, they “supplement” their work as bus conductors with robbery.
 

Sodiq told our correspondent that he was arrested in a bus by men of the Alakara Police Division, Lagos, who were already on his trail without his knowledge.

He said that on Wednesday, after concluding his bus conducting duty, he went to meet other members of his gang and they snatched the Honda at Sabo area of Yaba, Lagos and dumped the driver of the vehicle at Obanikoro along Ikorodu Road.

He said,  “We did not beat the owner of the vehicle, we just asked him for the security codes of the car.

“This is the second time I would follow the gang to snatch a vehicle. I was given N50,000 the first time my gang took me along on an operation. Our leader is called Coded. He has not been caught since he ran way.

“I have been an armed robber for just one month. I came to Lagos from my state, Kwara, last year when I could no longer stand the farming business my father forced me into when he could no longer sponsor me to school.

“Now, I really feel bad about what I have done. I regret my  life now. By the grace of God, if I am released, I will run back to my village immediately.”

Sodiq said he was not educated beyond primary school.

“When I finished primary six, my father did not have money for me to continue schooling,” he said.

Lawal on the other hand, explained that he thought robbery would be an easier job than his normal bus conducting work.

“My work as a bus conductor is a tough job. that’s why I decided to join the robbery gang. But now, I know better, the problem in robbery is worse. I wish I can just be released to go back to my conductor business,” he said.

Lawal explained that he was introduced to the gang by Sodiq.

According to him, the gang gave him the duty of ransacking any vehicle they snatched and gathering every valuable found in such vehicles.

“I don’t hold a gun, all I did was gather money, phones and other valuables,” he said.

The Oyo State indigene said he did not know other members of the gang except Sodiq.

He said the first operation he participated in, they were almost arrested when the police chased them but they escaped.

The Commissioner of Police, Mr. Fatai Owoseni, has said efforts were being made to arrest other members of the gang.

Pastor Sells 'Anointed' Cucumbers to Members During Service (Photos)

A Zimbabwean pastor seems to have gathered the necessary spiritual inspiration from the cucumber saga of the former Miss Anambra, Chidinma Okeke in a recent oddity.

The church members holding the anointed cucumber

 

According to reports making the rounds online, a Zimbabwean Prophet, Walter Magaya, allegedly sold anointed cucumbers in his church as the congregants especially the ladies patronized him well. 

 

"The things we hear about pastors and their quests for miracles these days is quite alarming" a social media user said.

 

This act seems not have gone down well with some online users who have registered their displeasure by blasting the pastor.

 

The reason behind this action remains sketchy. The harmless cucumber fruit has been linked with s*x in recent times as utilized by some lesbians.

Man Arrested With $300k Worth of Marijuana Disguised as Wrapped Christmas Gifts (Photos)

The State Highway Patrol says troopers found 71 pounds of marijuana and other drugs wrapped as Christmas gifts in a vehicle that was stopped for a driving violation in northwest Ohio.

car full of wrapped cannabis disguised as xmas presents

 

A 31-year-old California native may not be celebrating Christmas as he planned after Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers found 71 pounds of marijuana and other cannabis products disguised as gifts in the back of the suspect’s SUV.

Daniel A. Yates was driving down Interstate 80 in Wood County in a rental car with Washington State plates, Ohio, when troopers pulled him over for following the vehicle in front of him too closely. Troopers found “criminal indicators” and a drug-sniffing canine helped police establish a probable cause for the search.

Officers discovered 10 boxes in holiday wrap with 71 pounds of marijuana, 360 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) pills and a pound of hash oil.

Yates is scheduled to appear in court next week after he was slapped with second-degree felony charges of possession and drug trafficking. If convicted he could face a $30,000 fine and 16 years in prison.
 

one of the open cartons

Yates’ case of smuggling marijuana in gift boxes isn’t the only festive-themed felony. Officers of the Baton Rouge Police Department in Louisiana arrested a woman on Thanksgiving after she beat her husband with a turkey.

Officers arrived at the home of 52-year-old Helen Jackson and her husband, who were screaming at one another. The husband said he had been trying to cook the turkey when the fight broke out.

Jackson is accused of holding a knife to her husband’s throat, which she initially denied. She later admitted to taking the blade from her husband as he was using it to carve the turkey.

There are currently no indicators as to whether the argument started because he was about to deep fry the turkey while still frozen, or if he made a comment about the president-elect of the United States.

3 Suspected Kidnappers Dressed in Pastor's Outfit Killed by Police

Pandemonium broke out at Agbogidi Motor Park, close to the Onitsha head bridge, along the Benin-Asaba-Onitsha expressway, following a gun duel between a police patrol team and suspected kidnappers.

According to Vanguard, the police officers, who stormed the park based on intelligence report, on Friday, killed  three suspected kidnappers who dressed in pastors outfit.
 

Passengers and drivers  at the motor park at the time of the incident, ran to avoid being hit by stray bullets in the gun battle which lasted for over 10 minutes.

 

The suspects drove into a bar in the park in a  Toyota Corolla car allegedly waiting for their target, said to be a United Kingdom-based native of Asaba coming home for Christmas.

Sunday Vanguard gathered that a mole in the family of the UK-based Nigerian had given out information about him to the gang.

A dependable source, who pleaded anonymity, said the hoodlums were patiently waiting at the bar for a signal from their informant on the appropriate time to strike when they ran out of luck.

According to the source, the suspected kidnappers, on sighting the police patrol team, opened fire with spontaneous response from the police officers.

Showing the  corpses of the suspects at about 8pm on Friday to journalists, Delta State Police Commissioner, Mr. Ibrahim Zanna, said his men acted on credible information, disclosing that his men were on the trail of the mole who reportedly fled the scene before he could be fished out by the policemen.

Zanna said the  vehicle of the suspects,  one AK 47 rifle, one pump action gun, one locally made pistol with 19 rounds of 7.6mm, eight live cartridges, one expended cartridge and church aprons were recovered. Noting that some brave persons at the motor park assisted the police during the operation, he called on the general public to always provide the police with credible information that could lead to the tracking down of hoodlums.

This Naughty Girl's Bedroom Accident Will Make You Laugh (Video)

A young lady scantily-clad was learning pole-dancing in the comfort of her room when she suffered a domestic accident. 

 

The unnamed lady in question

 

This young lady with a big bum decided to make a video of herself exhibiting the act of pole-dancing just like strippers in club houses.

 

She was initially making progress before her body weight pulled down the poll and she landed on the floor from a height.

 

Considering the fall, she must have sustained minor injuries that will discourage her about poll dancing for a very long time.

Jimoh Ibrahim congratulates Akeredolu, mocks Fani-Kayode

Reactions are currently trailing the victory recorded by Oluwarotimi Akeredolu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) over his co-contenders in the Ondo governorship election just conducted.

While the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was about ending the announcement of the results from the various local government areas, Akeredolu said he was humbled.

He thanked the people of the state for considering him worthy to be their governor. One of the first reactions came from prominent lawyer, Festus Keyamo, who posted his message on Twitter. According to Keyamo, “With d result of Ondo state, the PDP should know by now that rebranding goes beyond mocking the APC with a musical video of apes playing guitars.”

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had a major crisis all through the electioneering with the Supreme Court only coming to its rescue few days to the exercise. Calls by the party and other Nigerians that the election be postponed proved abortive as INEC said it was fully prepared and that only a court could stop it. Jimoh Ibrahim, the businessman who was a factional candidate of the PDP till until the ruling of the Supreme Court, used the opportunity of his congratulatory message to mocked former aviation minister and critic, Femi Fani-Kayode.

Fani-Kayode had from the onset rejected the candidature of Jimoh Ibrahim and even called the businessman gay and a spoiler. While congratulating Akeredolu, Ibrahim said he knew Jegede would lose for allowing the support from Fani-Kayode. “I had no doubt that Jegede would lose as Femi Fani-Kayode was supporting him. If you want to win any election, pay Femi not to support you,” he said. “I have no doubt that you will urgently create hope for our people; kindly do whatever you can to assist your lovely civil servants. I saw poverty in those villages I visited during campaign. Please kindly assist traditional rulers as much as you can.”

He also warned Akeredolu to stay away from Governor Olusegun Mimiko of the state. “I will advise you to quickly maintain distance from Mimiko if you want to succeed,” he said in a Twitter message. On his part, Richard Akinnola, a lawyer, congratulated Akeredolu even though he said he supported PDP’s Eyitayo Jegede. “From the exit polls results so far, it’s obvious that the APC candidate, Aketi is coasting to victory. And l congratulate him. “It has been a hard-fought election. I don’t regret supporting you my dear aburo, Eyitayo. It was based on conviction, having known you for over 40 years. “You are a decent, urbane and intelligent man. Even during the last minute legal battles, you never betrayed any emotion and never resorted to angry and inflammatory statements, even against your main traducer who was working for your opposition. “Your one month political hiatus, occasioned by the deliberately contrived judicial subterfuge, till the legal siege was lifted barely three days to the polls, made you lose substantial grounds. “But despite this obvious disadvantage, you put up a fantastic performance. I am so proud of you and have no scintilla of regret for supporting you.

“Yes, it is natural to be despondent and melancholic over an electoral defeat. That was how l felt in 1983 when Chief Bola Ige of the UPN, lost to Dr Olunloyo of the NPN in the Oyo state governorship election. “But as a disciple of politics without bitterness as espoused by Alhaji Waziri Ibrahim of the GNPP during the Second Republic, l say all things work together for good. Nothing spoil. No shaking. I wish Ondo state well,” Akinnola said. 

Anenih dumps partisan politics, drums support for Buhari

Chief Tony Anenih, a former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has declared he is no longer interested in partisan politics.

Chief Tony Anenih, a former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has declared he is no longer interested in partisan politics. The man popularly addressed as ‘Mr Fix It’, made the announcement on Saturday, November 26, during the launch of his book themed ‘My Life and Nigeria Politics’ in Abuja, Nigeria’s federal capital territory. “I am persuaded that I have no more ambition nor any point to prove in politics. I am, therefore, glad to declare that, from today, I shall be withdrawing from active partisan politics. I shall, however, continue to avail the country of my experience, give suggestions and offer advice, as a statesman,” he stated. While drumming support for President Muhammadu Buhari from Nigerians regardless of their party loyalties, the former minister said: “I must not end this statement of gratitude without acknowledging the fact that our country is going through difficult times. It is a national predicament which we must confront in unity, irrespective of our partisan commitments, whether PDP, APC, AD or Labour.

“I, therefore, want to urge all Nigerians to persevere and hope for a better tomorrow. We must support and pray that God will give President Muhammadu Buhari the wisdom and vision to steer this country away from recession to prosperity.”

The 83-year-old man, was the national chairman of the then Social Democratic Party (SDP), which was the party of Late Chief M.K.O Abiola who emerged winner of the electoral contest. Abiola was denied his mandate by the then military government headed by General Ibrahim Babangida (rtd) and later died in detention after he was thrown in jail by military dictator, Late General Sani Abacha.

BREAKING NEWS:Senate passes Peace Corps bill to beef up security.

The Nigerian Senate has passed the Nigerian Peace Corps bill for final reading to provide the body with ‘a stronger framework’.

Senators said there was the need to use the outfit to better protect Nigerian security and therefore approved a bill for the establishment of the Nigerian Peace Corps as an agency under the Ministry of Interior.

Nigerian Senate has passed the Nigerian Peace Corps bill to better engage Nigerian youths 

Chairman, Committee on Interior, Senator Bayero Nafada (APC, Gombe) explained the importance of the bill thus: “The organisation will be of great benefit to the Nigerian youths (because) in response to increasing complexity of the factors responsible for insecurity and the method by which peace and security is being undermined in Nigeria, there is need to develop comprehensive, multi-sectoral, multi-stakeholders and inclusive approaches in order to stem these threats.”

The committee also recommended that the Nigerian Peace Corps and the National Unity and Peace Corps should be merged since both formations appear the same.

The Senate had at its sitting on Thursday, March 10, 2016 debated on the general principles of the Nigerian Peace Corps Bill, 2016  (SB.173) sponsored by Senator Ali Ndume and the National Unity and Peace Corps Bill, 2016 (SB.183) sponsored by Senator Binta Garba Masi and referred it to the committee for further legislative action.   
The Nigerian Peace Corps Bill, among others,  seeks to empower, develop and provide gainful employment for the youths, to facilitate Peace, Volunteerism, Community Services, Neighbourhood Watch and Nation-building.

As recommended, the Head of the Corps shall be referred to as Commandant-General (CG) with 6 Deputy Commandant – General (DCGs) and 6 Assistant Commandant – General (ACGs), drawn from the 6 geopolitical zones which should reflect the Federal Character principle.

BREAKING NEWS: Lagos cancels environmental monthly sanitation.

The Lagos state government has cancelled the monthly environmental sanitation exercise after an Appeal Court declared it as an infringement of human right.

The state used to engage in a three-hour sanitation on the last Saturday of the month but this was terminated on Wednesday, November 23 Executive Council meeting which approved the need for a robust review of the environmental laws and procedures in the state in order to meet the present day challenges and to promote a clean and healthy environment.

In a statement by Steve Ayorinde who is the state commissioner for information and strategy, he said the state realised that it was economically unreasonable to prevent people in a mega city from going about their business. 

According to government, in the last two decades, Lagos has grown exponentially into a mega city “but sadly, the environmental laws, policies and procedures being practiced in the State have not been able to match the phenomenal growth and the dream of a 24-hour economy, hence the need for the reform.

Ayorinde said Lagos was focused on trying a new method to deal with the problems of environmental challenges. The state said: “After a careful consideration, the State Executive Council has therefore resolved that the present economic climate can no longer support the continued lock down of a mega city like Lagos, when the citizens should be free to engage in commercial and entrepreneurial activities that can promote economic growth and prosperity.

“Furthermore, Government will also accelerate the introduction of fresh reforms through the passage of the new harmonized environmental laws that will drive meaningful changes in areas of harmonized billing, waste management, modern Landfill sites, noise pollution, introduction of an Environmental Trust Fund and an Environmental Advisory Council. 

“The Government wishes to reiterate its strong commitment to a clean and secure environment for the benefit of its citizens, and will continue to provide the necessary leadership to meet the environmental challenges of a mega city like Lagos. Lagosians and visitors alike are therefore urged to embrace these changes and imbibe a culture of voluntarily maintaining and preserving their environment to create a beautiful and healthy city that we all can be proud of.”

The incident happened at Olu Abiodun street by Papa Major bus stop at Ijegun where both the suspect and the victim reside. The police have also arrested Zainab and charged her before a Lagos court for the alleged assault.

On effort put in place by the council to address the recurrent attacks, Yarakawa said: “due to exploits of the insurgents, Kuburmbula, Tsilari, Kamdzilari, Kuburnvwu , Kautikari, Kwada, Buftari and Kakulmari villages bordering Damboa and Sambia forest, and Klaimakla communities which are still fully under the control of terrorists, the council formed vigilantee to keep watch even as we call for more military presence in the areas mentioned.”

Also speaking on the renewed attacks on Chibok, leader of vigilantee group in Chibok, Commander Aboku said that “the boko haram terrorists are always on the move and this makes it difficult to effectively monitor and apprehend them with ease.”
Aboku added that, just last week in the course of their operations, the vigilantees were able to dislodge some of the terrorists, killing two with recovery of two AK47 rifles and a Hilux vehicles mounted with anti aircraft gun.

He called on the Military to intensify more effort by giving the vigilantes free hands to operate, as they know the terrain of the Sambisa forest and the general operation area of Sambisa, Chibok and Gwoza local governments better.

Nigerian Witches and Wizards predict Ondo poll winner

Just few hours to the much awaited Saturday November 26, 2016 governorship election in Ondo state, the Witches and Wizards Association of Nigeria (WITZAN), Ondo chapter, has revealed who will emerge winner.

L-R: PDP’S Jimoh Ibrahim, Rotimi Akeredolu of APC and Chief Olusola Oke of AD.

 Reports claim that WITZAN revealed that candidate of All Progressive Congress (APC), Barrister Rotimi Akeredolu will win the election. The President of WITZAN, Dr Okhue Iboi, was said to have revealed this after a meeting in Ese Odo area of the state while hailing the members of the group. He went on to say they have the right to practice whatever they want since Nigeria is a secular country. According to him, many Nigerians lambaste them in public but run to them at the back.

Iboi said : “This week Saturday’s election in Ondo State is going to be hotly contested between APC, AD, PDP, SDP and the candidate of APC will emerge victoriously. It is unfortunate that many Nigerians are hypocrites. When they hear witches or read about witches, what comes to their mind is evil or darkness. For our own witches group, we are children of light. We are for good. “Have people forgotten that even in the Bible, there is a story of King Saul who consulted a witch when he was about to go into a battle to enable him know how the battle will go? Again people tend to forget that Nigeria is a secular state; Nigeria doesn’t belong to only Christians and Muslims, the nation is for all faiths.” Hmnn!

Na waoo. ......

"10 Categories Of People That Will Regret Their Lives If MMM Crashes"

The Mavrodi Mondial Moneybox, also know as MMM, is a mutual fund scheme that has been driving a lot of Nigerians crazy due to the quagmire state of the nation. 

However, everyone invests in it for purpose of receiving 30% profit after 30 days without knowing that the devil sometimes gives you a shoe with the left hand and collects your leg with the right hand. 

Though, many believe that it's fallacy to think that MMM will crash, but what if it does?; the following categories of people will regret their lives. 

1. The Awoofians 

Many will agree with me that an average Nigerian wants to reap where he/she did not sow. The awoofians are usually attending parties they are not invited and will be gulping beer and feeding like there's famine in Nigeria. Some will even go as far as selling their family houses just to invest into it and by the time things goes as unplanned, they will start their lives from square one. 

2. Those who resigned their jobs 

It's funny people resign their jobs just because they see this scheme as a blessing in disguise and a less strenuous way of becoming rich. These people will definitely end up in deep regret when MMM messes them up and can't later find jobs 

3. Those who invest their lives savings 

When taking risk, it very wisdom on the part of a person to invest what he can afford to lose but many people seem to have been exceeding their boundary these days. If they end up losing their life savings, they will have HBP and will relegate to 6 feet with immediate effect. 

4. Those who marry without Jobs 

Recently, men who are financially handicapped are beginning to get married with the notion that MMM will be their source of livelihood without the fear of unforeseen circumstances. As funny as it sounds, some will save up money for wedding and will invest it into MMM so that they can afford to buy adult cows, pay bride price, rent halls and canopies for their wedding. 

5. Those who longer want to work 

I overhead a man yesterday talking to his neighbour that, with MMM, he no longer needs a job and I began to shake my head at his ignorance. These kind of people will end up biting their finger when things turn soar. 

6. Those who were Sacked from Work 

Some people who were sacked from work will plunder their payment in lieu of notice into MMM so that their landlords will not send them packing. This is very risky thing to do considering the fact that you will both lose in two ways when the unexpected happens. 

7. Those who sell their Properties 

I have a neighbour who who recently sold his father's inheritance and plough the money into this scheme so that, at the end of the month, he would be able to buy a plot of land at Mowe and also buy himself a car. I sometimes feel sorry for him because I still don't know where he will start his life from if he loses 

8. Bankers 

I pity some bankers who usually invest as much as N10m out of customers' savings just to get a profit of N3m in return. We recently heard the story of a bank manager who committed suicide due to debt. 

9. Those who want to celebrate Christmas elaborately 

Now that Christmas is around the corner, many will invest the little they have before November 25th, so that they can cash out before December 25th and celebrate with their loved ones. When MMM crashes before that time, they will become wailers and start blaming Buhari for their misfortunes. 

10. Those whose Girlfriends dumped them for being Poor 

Just because a lady dumped you for being poor, you ventured into MMM just to buy a car and make her jealous. I want you to know that you may end up in deep regrets if MMM could later not fetch you money to buy a bicycle let alone an Okada 

I drop my pen at this juncture

African teams scared of Super Eagles, Camerounian star Monkandjo confesses

Nigeria was not given any chance of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup when the draws pitched the Super Eagles against Algeria, Cameroun and Zambia, but now the 2013 African Nations Cup winners are so dreaded that no country from the continent wants to play against them.

The Super Eagles under Stephen Keshi and later Samson Siasia failed to qualify for the 2015 and 2017 Nations Cup, but since the team lost to Egypt in the last Gabon 2017 qualifier, they have not looked back.

According to owngoalnigeria.com, the Super Eagles recent run in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers is sending shock waves across Africa, with Camerounian forward, Benjamin Moukandjo, confessing that teams don’t want to play Nigeria at least for now.

Since the appointment of coach Gernot Rohr, the Super Eagles of Nigeria are yet to taste defeat, winning their three games under the German coach, with two coming in the World Cup 2018 qualifiers.

Super Eagles are top of their group with four points more than Cameroun, who they face in August next year, and Moukandjo, who plays for French side, Lorient, says they are lucky they are not playing Nigeria now.

“The fixture favours us a bit. We are lucky that we won’t play Nigeria anytime soon, which is on top form and shape at the moment. We are yet to pick up a win and we can’t say we are high in confidence like them, no team in Africa wants to face them now,” he said.

He added, “anything can happen from now till next year. We will definitely not give up on being at the World Cup in Russia, it’s too early to do that. There are lot of games that could go in our favour.”

While Moukandjo is praying that Nigeria’s powers would have whittled down before they meet Cameroun, Super Eagles Technical Adviser, Gernot Rohr, says there is no way the team will be match rusty before the next qualifier against Cameroun in August 2017

Given an insight on how he plans to prepare his team before Nigeria’s back to back World Cup 2018 qualifiers against Cameroun next year, Rohr said the players will have enough time to prepare. He added adding that he will also use the opportunity of the 2019 AFCON qualifying matches, which will also commence in March 2017 to prepare the players.
