Scam Alert!!!
This happened to my friend yesterday, she was matched with a guy who was supposed to pay her on mmm, on the day he is to pay, the guy called her to tell her that he was going to pay her that he is in the bank so few minuets later, she got a credit alert text. Then immediately the guy called her to ask her to please confirm his payment she agreed to do that. While she was trying to log in, she was missing her captcha so she decided to use another browser, while she was trying to load the browser a thought came to her to even check her account balance. She went to the text she got and found out that her total account balance is missing. She was confused coz its unlikely for Gtb to send u credit alert and not include ur balance. Then the guy called back. She told him she is trying to verify something that she will confirm when she is done, the guy tried persuading her to buy thank God she didn't. She went to the ATM that evening and Lo and behold the money wasn't in her account. The message she saw was a bulk SMS constructed like a bank alert that was why her account balance wasn't there. Imagine how many people this guy must have scamed and get away with it. If she had confirm him, there is nothing mmm could have done because the guy had been confirmed already. So please let's be smart. Make sure ur account balance reflect in ur credit alert before confirming. Thanks

Anambra State born oil magnet oil magnate, Chief Emeka Offor on Sunday warned pickpockets to steer clear of the funeral of his father, Chief Bennett Offor that will hold this week at Oraifite, Anambra State.

He said security arrangements had been put in place to pick anybody who would misbehave on the occasion, warning that he will not spare anybody, including hoodlums who may like to embarrass his friend and well wishers that will attend the burial in any way.

Meanwhile President Muhammadu Buhari and American President-elect, Mr. Donald Trump and many other African leaders are expected to attend the funeral.

This was disclosed by the Vice Chairman of the Pa Benneth Offor Burial Committee, Mr. Tony Obi, while unveiling the burial plans Pa Offor who died in Febuary this year, at Emeka Okafor Foundation Centre, Oraifite, Anambra State. According to Sir Offor, “my father served the Nigerian Police meritoriously and retired after 35 years of service, so nobody will be allowed to come here and mess up his funeral. Security arrangements have been put in place to deal with miscreants.”

“Pickpockets would often sew uniform and infiltrate the funerals of rich persons in the State and steal people’s valuables, including telephone and money, but we are waiting for them in Oraifite, that day may be their last that will land them in prison, to be fore warned is to be fore armed.”

 Chief Offor said members of the National Assembly would be led to the funeral ceremony by the former Presidents of the Senate, Chief Ken Nnamani and Senstor Anyim Pius Anyim, while many people from all walks of life will have promised to come. “My father was a very nice man, he gave me so much encouragement and everything you see me doing was initiated by him.

'He is a passionate philanthropist who would always like to see smiles on the faces of everyone that came in contact with him and I must tell you that most of the guys you see me hang out with were introduced to me by him.

AMAECHI IN UBIMA TO DECEIVE THEM AGAIN BECAUSE OF ELECTION

The Minister of Transport Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi who abandoned his people after the 2015 election and the re-run election respectively, arrived his hometown Ubima today with the intent to continue deceiving the good people of Ubima.

Aware that their option "A" which was the purported printing of fake election result sheets failed, he has embarked on the option" B" by enticing people with the usual empty and unrealistic job offer.

As at the time of writing this report, Newest Rivers Reporters gathered that Rotimi Amaechi is going about ordering and collecting CVs from the people of Ubima, promising them jobs as a way of buying them over before December 10th inconclusive elections.

Amaechi who ought to be a light to his people, eventually turns absolute darkness, instances abound.

Risonpalm that was there before the birth of so many and that ought to have provided job opportunities for the people of Ubima was sold by Amaechi when he was the governor of Rivers State.

Instead of him to build am empire, he destroyed and disposed the existing empire.

Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi as a minister of Transport, proudly told an Isiokpo man (Name Withheld) who came to his office in Abuja few weeks ago to look for job that he "Amaechi " has seven (7) graduates without job eating his food at home, how can such a man now offer jobs to his people whereas he was a speaker for 8years, Governor for 8years and yet Ubima is like a home of nobody, nothing to show for in his own hometown.

Prior to the 2015 general elections, he made a journey to Ubima where he made a promise of giving 2000 jobs to his people which he never did and now he is at it again.

Amaechi who has totally forgotten his people since he became minister, has recommended some persons for appointments but has never seen an Ubima person as being qualified.

A situation that has made many to ask, if he is truly from Ubima.

We also gathered that, Amaechi this evening gave the people of Ubima Three Million (N3,000,000.00) Naira and told them that it has been long he did Christmas for them and promised them "that this festive period, they will smile ".

Believing he has heard of the empowerment of his people by the Caretaker Committee Chairman of Ikwerre LGA, which is his LGA, Mr. Samuel Nwanosike.

Ubima people wake-up, don't be deceived by Amaechi again and again. Especially in this all inclusive and proactive government of His Excellency, Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, CON.

One question to Amaechi; Why do you only remember Ubima people only during elections and to forget them after the election?
