Controversy as Gunmen Abducts Ex-CBN Director from a Church in Delta State

Tragedy has hit a family in Delta State as unidentified gunmen on Sunday kidnapped a former Central Bank of Nigeria Director of Foreign Operations in a Church.

 

A 91-year-old former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Director of Foreign Operations, Joseph Ogedegbe, was reportedly kidnapped on Sunday by unidentified gunmen at St. Michael’s Anglican Church in Emevor of Isoko North Local Government Area (LGA), Delta State. 

 

According to Sahara Reporters, the armed kidnappers ambushed the nonagenarian at about 8:30am on the church premises.

 

A police officer who disclosed to the publication, said that some of the members of the kidnapping gang who carried out the operation are from the community and security officers are closing in on them.

 

A member of the family also said on the phone that the entire family has been traumatized following the incident, saying that until now the kidnappers have not established any contact with the family.

 

"We are praying seriously that they don't kill our father. We are also calling on the Chief Security Officer and Chairman of Isoko North LGA of Delta State, Mr. Emmanuel Egbabor, and Governor Ifeanyi Okowa to see that something urgent is done to rescue our father," the family member stated.

 

It was gathered that as the victim was exiting his ash-colored Passat, the kidnappers swung into action and seized the former bank director and forced him into a car. The gunmen then drove off through the Otibio-Orogun to an unknown destination.

Social Media: Nobody Can Gag Nigerians - Dele Momodu

Dele Momodu has re-stated the inability of powerful forces to gag social media which has now become a viable tool of advocacy and activism in Nigeria.

Ovation Publisher and former Presidential candidate, Chief Dele Momodu has said that any plan to gag social media will fail, saying Nigerians are resilient people and will not succumb to such threat, according to the Vanguard.

Speaking during his keynote address, “The Power of Social Media,” at the City People Social Media Awards held on Sunday in Lagos, Momodu said Nigerians survived the move by erstwhile dictator, Gen Sani Abacha’s plan to gag the citizens, hence attempt by government of the day to ban social  media will fail.

“Any attempt to gag us will fail. It will never happen. Abacha tried and failed. Any attempt by any government to stop social media will fail. It is not about protests in the streets, or security agents going after you. Some of us fled this country during Abacha. I was involved with Freedom Radio, sometimes we had to broadcast using the phone. But with the social media, from your room, you can talk to millions of people and no one can stop you.”

The Ovation publisher also said that after the magic of electricity and telephone, the social media is the greatest invention by man. On how he became a social media influence, he said the journey started in 2010 with Facebook.

‘’I started using Social media in 2010, Facebook was the most common one then, When I got on Twitter not long after, I actually asked people to manage my account. I just past instruction that I want an announcement on the micro-blogging platform and it is carried out.

‘’But by January 2012, during the fuel subsidy protests, I realized how powerful the 140 character on Twitter has when I decided to reach out to a lot of people as I was the only one who carried a banner and protested in London, US, Ghana and Nigeria. I had about 13, 000 followers when I took over the management of the Twitter account; since then I have been addicted.

“The power of the social media is huge; you can reach millions in seconds. We are witnesses’ to what the change agents of the APC were able to do with the candidature of President Buhari,” he said.

 

He urged youth not to underestimate the power inherent in new media considering the reach influence people from the corner of one’s bedroom.

Be Warned! Researchers Reveal the Most Dangerous Sex Positions for Men

A recent research has warned men to be very careful especially when engaging and trying out different s*x positions as it could be very dangerous to them.

 

Injuries during s*x are more common than you think and the positions you experiment with have a lot to do with it.

 

You might think that you can’t do that much damage in the sack, but lads beware because getting jiggy in certain ways can seriously hurt your manhood.

 

Researchers in Brazil studied patients with penis fractures to see what they’d been up to in bed before they heard the gruesome cracking or popping sound.

 

And one position came out the most penis-endangering way to have sex, closely followed by three other potentially harmful ones.

It might not put you off, but here are a list of the most dangerous sexual man oeuvres:

 

 

1. Girl On Top

 

A recent study found that the popular woman-on-top position is the most dangerous.

 

The raunchy position, which is one of the best positions to make a woman orgasm, was deemed responsible for half of all penile fractures according to researchers in Brazil.

 

Scientists believe it is because the woman controls the penis with her entire body weight landing on it and is unable to interrupt it when it suffers a "wrong way penetration"

 

 

2. The Pogo Stick

 

This is basically missionary, but standing up.

 

The move is risky because it is likely to put strain on the guys back. This can cause long term back problems.

 

Jiggling around while standing up also means your run the risk of falling over and the woman is at risk of being dropped.

 

 

3. Doggy

 

According to a recent study by Ann Summers, Doggy Style is actually the nation's favourite sex position.

 

The poll of adults across the UK found that one in four people favour that s*x position – while 23% like Woman On Top.

 

But research in Brazil found that 29% of men's penis fractures were caused by this move.

 

 

4. The Cowgirl Lean Back

 

You’re on your back and she’s sitting on top of you, but rather than leaning forward with her hands on your chest, she’s leaning right back with her hands on your ankles.

 

This position puts strain on the penis and can bend it the wrong way.

 

Like an elbow or knee, your erect penis can be “hyper-extended” if you put too much or too frequent downward pressure on the shaft, a study from the University of California, San Francisco found.

 

Over time, this can lead to peyronie’s disease—a buildup of plaques that causes your rod to bend while erect.

 

This can make sex difficult or even impossible in extreme cases.

 

So maybe make her lean forward in future!

Revealed: Top 10 Common Lies Lagos Girls Tell Guys

Lagos girls are fun to be with, but dating in Lagos goes beyond just love as guys understand the culture of dating in Lagos, but these revealed top 10 lies their girls tell them, will help them up their game.

1. I have a boyfriend but he is not in this country: 

This is a common lie Lagos ladies like to tell always. While that may be true, it is mostly going to be a lie if you truly check. Lagos ladies tell the lies to make you back off or for you to know they are connected with a guy abroad in which case it has become a status symbol 

 

2. The lecturer called me but I didn’t go to see him: 

Well, that is an absolute lie. Lecturers are demi-gods in our universities. When they send for female students, it is always for a reason. She probably wants you to believe she has not had any dealings with a lecturer. 

 

3. I am not bleaching my skin, we are naturally light in my family: 

While this may be true, many girls in Lagos are bleaching their skin. 

 

4. I am on my period: 

If a girl visits a guy and its time to get down, be sure the girl will come at the guy with the red flag excuse.

 

5. I went to visit a guy and he gave me 100k: 

Lagos girls like to prize themselves for the highest bidder. When a girl tells you this, it means you have to buckle up and be prepared to spend the naira.

 

6. I don’t love guys because of their money: 

Don’t be deceived. She is playing the good girl to enter your heart. Once she has your attention, she will come for the kill. 

7. He is just a friend: 

Well, the other guy is not her enemy either. But remember male friends can do what a normal guy can do a girl. 

 

8. I love you too: 

Well, love is relative. She may love you for anything. 

9. I will call you: 

No she won’t, she will flash you. 

10. I don’t eat much: 

Lagos girls like food. Don’t be deceived
