ON JANUARY 20, 2019   3:16AM  BY: Scawrld Activities of fraudsters, popularly known as Yahoo Plus, have assumed a worrisome dimension.Before now, their targets were gullible foreigners. But today, fraudsters, who would stop at nothing in their quest to get rich, have settled for female pants to achieve it.        In the last couple of months, stealing of panties for ritual purposes has gradually replaced killing of humans and harvesting of human parts which used to be the norm. Investigations reveal that the discharge from a lady’s private part on any stolen pant is believed to be vital for money ritual. Consequently, from Imo to Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Edo, Anambra, among other states in the country, stealing of pants has been on the increase. Pant thieves caught by residents, were, in many instances, lynched before the arrival of security agents.  Meanwhile, some of the perpetrators were said to have devised means such as disguisin...

By  SCAKINGS BLOGSPOT January 19, 2019 The rise of music streaming has wrought countless changes, but perhaps the most exciting is the flattening of the global playing field. We no longer need to wait for a powerful interloper (see:  Drake  or  Diplo ) to import a new style of music to the U.S.—foreign musicians, such as the  K-pop sensation B.T.S.  or the Latin stars J. Balvin and Bad Bunny, can do the work themselves. African pop is also making headway here—New York’s hip-hop radio mainstay Hot 97 routinely plays long-simmering Afrobeats hits, and pop stars like Wizkid are cropping up on tracklists for major American pop albums. Still, despite the quickening pace of crossovers, the process can be slow. An artist generally has to be a household name in his or her country before starting to slip into playlists in America. One exception is Teniola Apata, known as Teni—a supremely talented singer, songwriter, and rapper fro...

FEAR OF RITUALISTS IN DELTA: We anoint our pants to escape Yahoo Boys – Warri girls “As a rule now in my house, we pour anointing oil and sprinkle holy water on our pants before wearing them because of Yahoo Boys”. With these words, Alero, a female resident of Ubeji area of Warri, told Sunday Vanguard her family’s strategy to escape ritualists on the prowl in Delta State.  It was gathered that undies, particularly of girls between the ages of 16 to 32, are hot cakes for use by ritualists. One pant, according to some residents, sells for as high as two hundred and fifty thousand naira. The price can be higher when the ‘boys’ confirm “ through science that the girl has not done any abortion”, Esther, another resident in the area, said. The pants are allegedly used for money ritual. “After they finish with the pants, their owners will lose their wombs which is the real ritual”, Esther added.  Read also..  11 things you didn’t know kissing does to you Ale...

Disagreements between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) now appear unending, unfortunately  ASUU strike  Virtually every administration in the current democratic dispensation has had to grapple with matters that relate to various agitations originating from the ivory tower. Not surprisingly, anytime these two “elephants” fight, the “grasses” under them, especially in the form of students, usually suffer.  Since the most recent strike by ASUU started on November 5, at least seven meetings have taken place between the two parties. While that clearly demonstrates their desire to reach common grounds, a lot more ought to have been achieved within the period.  Happily though, ASUU’s willingness to allow its members to work as ad hoc workers in the forthcoming general election, albeit in their individual capacities, indicates that it might not be belligerent after all.  Much can be learnt from...
