7 Things Every Nigerian Should Know About Trump’s Immigration Ban




A lot of confusion are already flying around about US President Donald Trump’s executive order limiting immigration, especially for immigrants already living in the United States and those wanting to travel here. Here are some things you need to know:
1. How do I know if it affects me?
For now, President Trump’s executive order affects citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries.
They are:
– Iraq
– Iran
– Libya
– Somalia
– Sudan
– Syria
– Yemen
But the executive order also makes clear those seven countries are just a starting point for a likely broader ban that might include more countries.
2. What can I do to protect myself?
If you’re a citizen of any of the countries listed above, do not travel outside the US at least for the next 90 days. This applies even if you have a green card, which means you’re a lawful permanent resident of the US.
3. What if I have an emergency and I have to travel?
If you absolutely HAVE to travel, please consult an immigration lawyer first.
4. What if I am already abroad and need to travel back to the US?
If you’re a citizen of any of the countries listed above, you may have difficulty getting back into the US.
If you’re a lawful permanent resident of the US from any of the countries above, get in touch with an immigration lawyer before flying back.
5. What if I’m a naturalized US citizen?
If you’re an American citizen, you should be fine — even if you are from one of the targeted countries.
6. Can my relatives fly back with me if I’m a citizen?
Not if you’re from one of the countries listed above. In that case, your relatives may face difficulties at immigration upon entering the US.
7. What if I have family or friends who were waiting to resettle to the US as refugees?
The executive order also halted the refugee program, at least for the next 120 days. This applies to all refugees, not just those from the seven countries above. In the case of Syria, the resettlement process has been halted indefinitely.

Fake Nigerian Doctor Who Learned Medicine From Retired Dr Godwin Kanu Arrested


Fake Nigerian Doctor Who Learned Medicine From Retired Dr Godwin Kanu Arrested For Performing Surgeries With No Licence
A medical doctor who owned Empire Medical Center on Soyebo area of Ikorodu has been arrested for allegedly carrying out surgical operations without license.
We gathered that Eleazar, whose facility is on Soyebo Street, Ikorodu, had been practising for sometime before officials of the Lagos Health Facility Monitoring and Accreditation Agency stormed the area.
The officials were said to have found four patients awaiting surgeries at the hospital. Three others were said to have been operated on by the suspect.
All the patients were subsequently taken to the Ikorodu General Hospital, while the centre was shut.
The Director of Public Affairs, Ministry of Health, Adeola Salako, who confirmed the incident, said the suspect claimed to have studied medicine in the Dominican Republic.
She added that when asked to produce his certificate, he claimed he had yet to get it due to financial constraints.
She said, “ Mr. Onumoh Eleazer claimed that he studied Medicine in the Dominican Republic, but that he didn’t have the money to collect his certificate. He, however, confessed that one Dr Godwin Kanu, a retired consultant traumatologist and orthopaedist, trained him for 14 years after his return to the country and since then, he had been practising medicine.”
The Special Adviser to the Governor on Primary Health Care, Dr Olufemi Onanuga, said Eleazar was arrested for offences bordering on quackery, adding that he had been handed over to the police for prosecution.

Corruption taking to higher level in Buhari's government -Rep member

The chairman of the committee on public accounts of the House of Representatives, Kingsley Chinda, has accused the administration of Muhammadu Buhari of keeping most of its financial dealings so secret from Nigerians to the extent that corruption thrives more in the government than any in the past.

The senior legislator who represents Obior/Akpor federal constituency of Rivers state made this revelation in an interview reported by Vanguard.



Chinda says Buhari's government more corrupt than any other in the past

The implication of this is that the budget is fraught with a lot of controversial stipulations that could pitch the National Assembly against the executive arm of the federal government again.

“I have said that the present administration is more corrupt than previous. I said so because what is happening in the system today is that individuals will steal public funds and pretend as if nothing is happening.

“And if we look at the things that are in place, the recovery of funds that is in place, they are all shrouded in secrecy.

“How much has been recovered? What do we have in the TSA? They are all shrouded in secrecy.

“And for a government that is talking of anti-corruption and transparency, how then can you be that secret? Buhari is constrained.

“If you also look at the budget that Mr President has just presented, I call it a recipe for corruption.

“The base is faulty, the facts are not correct,” he said.



Corruption taking to higher level in Buhari's government - Rep member

He said the budget was based on 2.2 million barrels of crude oil per day, adding that this was faulty.

“It is not achievable and even where you achieve 2.2 million barrels, how much comes to the federal government? It is not the entire 2.2 million that comes to the federal government,” he added.

According to him, if the crude is $45 per barrel, then what would be the profit on one barrel of crude?

“And then what percentage of that profit comes to the federal government? So you would find out that the calculation is faulty and how can you be talking about change, you present a budget without MTEF.

And tomorrow it would look like the National Assembly is the problem with the budget, when there is no MTEF.

“We could come out with the medium term expenditure framework and give bench mark for crude and it is not in tandem with the bench mark they used, what would happen? There would be another logjam.”

Nigerian Girl Abandoned By Parents Put Up For Adoption ByAged Grandfather In Ekpoma Edo State


Due to his inability to bear the financial and physical burden of raising his abandoned nine year old granddaughter, a helpless octogenarian based Ekpoma, Edo State, has put up the girl for adoption as a way of ensuring that she get what he described as “the good life this innocent girl deserves.”*.The child, Favour Otalogbe Airiohuodion, according to findings by The Nation, has been left in the care of her aged grandfather, Pa Lucky Airiohuodion, since 2010, when his biological father, Kennedy Airiohuodion, brought him to the old man and left a few days later. He is yet to be seen ever since.Left to grow up with her grandfather at his Idumegbede Quarters Iruekpen Ekpoma residence, Favour, according to neighbours, lacked many things as her aged guardian could do very little to fend for her needs. This, they added, made life quite difficult for the little girl.Speaking to our reporter on why he decided to give out little Favour up for adoption, Pa Airiohuodion said he can no longer afford to keep the little girl with him as he is unable to meet her needs. He regretted that her son, whois Favour’s biological father, has refused to look back since he left the girl with him.The octogenarian said apart from the financialburden of taking care of the child, he is daily getting weaker physically. Consequently, he is afraid that soon, he will not be able to take good care of the child he described as “very smart and hardworking.”“I am sad that Kennedy my son, who is Favour’s biological father, has refused to look back since he left the girl with me. He left her over six years ago and went away. I am yet to see him since then. I am not able to meet all the needs of the little girl and I am not happy seeing her in need.“Also, I am daily getting weaker physically. I am not as strong as I used to be when I was younger, so I am afraid that soon, I will not be able to take good care of Favour, who is a very smart and hardworking child. That is why I want to put her in the care of parents who will adopt her and take good care of her,”he said.We also gathered that Favour’s mother, who was never married to Kennedy, may have also chosen to abandon the poor girl like the father,as she is never known to have visited or askedof her since. It was also learnt that she may have travelled out of the country few years back without bothering about her daughter.Favour, a junior primary school pupil, currentlyattends Deed Royal Academy, a private school situated in Ukpenu area of Ekpoma. Insisting that Favour has been abandoned by her biological parents, Pa Airiohuodion said his desire is to see the girl legally adopted while he is alive, as his son’s whereabouts is unknown to him.“I want tell the whole world that Favour Airiohuodion has been abandoned by Kennedy my son and the woman who gave birth to her for him. I have not seen either of them for six years now and my desire is to see the girl legally adopted while I am still alive, as my son’s whereabouts is unknown to me,”he explained.

MMM Nigeria Crash Causes Stampede At Warri Bank, 1 Dies, 12 Injured


1 Dies As MMM Depositors Rush To Warri Banks To Confirm Account Suspension, 12 Injured In stampedes in Warri Delta State, one person was feared dead while many others were reportedly wounded in stampedes in various banks after the announcement of the suspension of the MMM accounts of about 3.3 million Nigerian participants in the scheme.The contributors who received the news with shock were said to have rushed to the banks to verify the authenticity of the news. In the commotion, a man who was expected to cash N1.5 million of his investment, slumped and died when he could not withdraw the money.Two other persons who also slumped in the same manner were quickly revived by sympathisers, while 12 others sustained various degrees of injuries in the melee. As the drama played out, hoodlums took advantage of the rowdy situation to extort money and robbed customers. Meanwhile, medical experts have been reacting to the seeming confusion of MMM.One of them, Nwaiwu Iheukwumere, said the devastating effects of MMM’s demise is currently evident in hospitals across the country with respect to the physical, mental,emotional and spiritual well-being of Nigerians.“Mental homes are beaming with patients of different ages. This, of course, is associated with what has just happened with the MMM scheme. But, what we are seeing now may be small compared to what will happen when the scheme finally collapsed. It’s just a matter of time; it won’t take long before the bubble will burst,” he said. He, nonetheless, listed other psychological effects to include anxiety disorders. People, according to him, will become anxious while apprehension will grow rapidly.

MMM Promoters In Nigeria Have Hired Bankers To Create Dummy, Fake Accounts To Steal, Transfer Depositors, Participants Funds – Investigation


While participants are waiting for the promised January 2017 to get their accounts unfrozen, we learnt that MMM promoters in Nigeria have secretly hired bankers to create dummy accounts to transfer funds in depositors accounts into so as to make away with it.
About 3.3million Nigerian participants who have invested over 32billion in this scam will likely have themselves to be blamed if they are still hoping to have their money back in January.
Here is what a financial expert who recently investigated the scam said:


The financial expert added that participants have put themselves at the mercies of fraudulent bankers and fraudsters who used their ignorance to steal their money.
He said come January, they will unfreeze some accounts of people that are fully involved in the scam thereby giving innocent Nigerians false hope that their own accounts will be unfrozen in the upcoming batches and if they ever get their accounts unfrozen, all the money in the account would have gone.
He urged Nigerians to be careful of this kind of scam as this will not be the last time it will be introduced in Nigeria.
Take heart Nigerians! This is indeed a very sad news.

Shocking!! 40 Year Old Mother Who Is Sleeping With Her Son Is Now Pregnant For Him And Wants To Marry Him!!



A mother and her son have done the unthinkable – they have fallen in love with one another. And now they want to marry since the mom is six months pregnant and expecting her son’s first child.

Betty Mberek o (40), who was widowed 12 years ago, has been cohabiting with her first child, Farai Mbereko (23). She confirms that she is six months pregnant and that she has decided it is better to “marry” her son because she does not want to marry her late husband’s young brothers, whom she says are coveting her.

Betty stunned a village court last week when she said the affair with her son had begun three years earlier. She said after spending a lot of money sending Farai to school following the death of her husband, she felt she had a right to his money and no other woman was entitled to it.

“Look, I strove alone to send my son to school and no one helped me. Now you see that my son is working and you accuse me of doing something wrong. “Let me enjoy the products of my sweat,” she told the village court.

Farai said he was more than prepared to marry his mother and would pay off the ilobola balance his father had left unpaid to his grandparents. “I know my father died before he finished paying the bride price and I am prepared to pay it off,” he said.

“It is better to publicise what is happening because people should know that I am the one who made my mother pregnant. Otherwise they will accuse her of promiscuity.”
But local headman Nathan Muputirwa says: “We cannot allow this to happen in our village, mashura chaiwo aya, (This is a bad omen indeed).

In the past they would have to be killed but today we cannot do it because we are afraid of the police.” He warned them to break off their marriage or leave his village.

They chose the latter and have left the village for an unknown destination.
