Speaking in a recent interview with Solomon Ter of Asaase Radio, she said, “Honestly, I love Nigerian men more because they know how to take care of their women, I can’t say the same for Ghanaian men.

When a Nigerian man is lying to you, the way he will come afterwards to apologise you will easily forgive him, but a Ghanaian man will lie and even insult you on top of it all. So, I’m not dealing with any more Ghanaian men.”

North Korea Opposes War But Would Use Nuclear Weapons If South Korea Attacks – Kim Yo Jong

Kim Yo Jong, the sister of leader Kim Jong Un, on Tuesday, said North Korea opposes war but would use nuclear weapons if South Korea attacks.

North Korea threatens nuclear strike if South attacks

Kim Yo Jong, who is a senior official in the government and the ruling party, said it was a “very big mistake” for South Korea’s minister of defence to make recent remarks discussing attacks on the North, report said.

South Korean Defense Minister, Suh Wook, last week Friday, had boasted of his country’s military strength owning a variety of missiles with significantly improved range, accuracy and power – with “the ability to accurately and quickly hit any target in North Korea”.

Both countries have increased displays of military strength after North Korea test-fired a range of increasingly powerful missiles.

Officials in Seoul and Washington also fear it may be preparing to resume testing nuclear weapons for the first time since 2017 amid stalled negotiations.

Kim and another North Korean official issued earlier statements on Sunday condemning Suh’s remarks, and warned that Pyongyang would destroy major targets in Seoul if the South takes any “dangerous military action” such as a preemptive strike.

Kim’s criticisms are most likely aimed at South Korean President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol, who has called for a more muscular defense against North Korean threats.

Rachel Minyoung Lee, an analyst with the US-based 38 North project, which monitors North Korea, said, “Yoon’s ‘preemptive strike’ comment made the headlines a few months ago.

“Pyongyang is seizing Suh’s remarks to make a point to the incoming South Korean administration. North Korea has thus far refrained from criticizing Yoon at any authoritative level, but it certainly seems to be laying the groundwork for it,” she observed, adding that the statements suggested Pyongyang was preparing the North Korean public for a possible shift in inter-Korean relations once Yoon takes office in May.

According to a statement by the US State Department, a delegation from Yoon’s team was in Washington to meet with US officials, who reiterated their commitment to defending South Korea.

In her statement on Tuesday, Kim said Pyongyang opposes war, which would leave the peninsula in ruins, and does not view South Korea as its principal enemy, noting however that if ”South Korea, for any reason – whether or not it is blinded by misjudgement, opts for such military action as ‘preemptive strike’ touted (by Suh Wook), the situation will change.”

“In that case, South Korea itself will become a target,” she said, stressing that should ”the South Korean military violates North Korea territory, it will face an unimaginably terrible disaster and the North’s nuclear combat force will inevitably have to carry out its duty.”

Kim noted that the South could avoid this fate by dropping any “fantastic daydream” of launching a preemptive attack on a nuclear-armed state.

The Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, has declared his intention to contest the 2023 gubernatorial election in Kebbi state.

2023: AGF Malami Formally Declares For Kebbi Governor

Malami who declared before his supporters in Kebbi State, promised not to betray them.

It had been reported that Malami was rumored to be interested in becoming the governor of Kebbi State.

And contrary to a section of the signed Electoral amendment bill which mandates political appointees to resign their positions before contesting any elective political position, Malami is yet to tender his resignation.

Although the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC mandated interested political appointees to vacate their positions between April 4 and June 3 2022, it remains to be seen if Malami will abide by this law.

“If God in His mercies permits, and all goes well, I will as a politician contest the governorship of Kebbi state. I am seeking your support.

“I want to announce that I will contest indeed and as such I am counting on your prayers and support so that we can all work and survive the race together. I have no history of betrayal and I won’t betray you people. I will work for you,” he told his supporters in Hausa while announcing his intentions yesterday.

The Senior Advocate of Nigeria, pointed out that leaders need followers, and followers in turn need their leaders in order to ensure that the citizens benefit, even as he promised to work day and night to turn the life of citizens around.

Malami had previously told close friends of his intention to contest the Kebbi state governorship election.

He certainly would be contesting under the All Progressives Congress (APC) and would be seeking to succeed the current Governor, Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, who is completing his second term.

In 2014, Malami picked nomination form to run for Kebbi State Governor under the platform of the APC, but lost to Bagudu in the party’s primary election.

The Attorney General of the Federation was appointed into his current position by President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015.

UCL Q/Finals: Liverpool Target First Ever Win Away To Benfica

Liverpool travels to the Estadio da Luz for the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final with Portuguese giants Benfica on Tuesday night.

UCL Q/Finals: Liverpool Target First Ever Win Away To Benfica

Jurgen Klopp’s side eliminated Serie A champions Inter Milan 2-1 on aggregate to get to the last eight of this season’s competition.

After claiming a 2-0 win at the San Siro, Liverpool suffered a 1-0 defeat at Anfield to 10-man Inter thanks to Lautaro Martinez’s strike.

While two-time European champions, Benfica, claimed a 3-2 win over Ajax over two legs.

Liverpool is on the hunt for the quadruple and already has one trophy in the bag, which is the League Cup after overcoming Chelsea on penalties in the final.
And to realize the quadruple dream which has never been achieved by any English club, the Reds must do what they have never done before, that is beat Benfica away.

Prior to today’s game, both teams have clashed four times with Benfica claiming three wins suffering just one defeat.

The Portuguese have won their two home games against Liverpool. Their first-ever clash was in the 2006 Champions League first leg round of 16 ties played in Portugal which Benfica won 1-0. The return leg saw Benfica claim a 2-0 win also.

And their next encounter in Portugal was in the quarter-finals of the 2010 Europa League which Benfica also won 2-1. However, the Reds won 4-1 at Anfield in the reverse fixture.

Meanwhile, Benfica’s injury situation has remained fairly stable in recent weeks, with Haris Seferovic back as a substitute in the loss to Braga on Friday night.

Fellow striker Rodrigo Pinho is still absent, though, as is Lucas Verissimo, whose season is seemingly over as he recovers from a ruptured cruciate ligament.

Former Premier League star Adel Taarabt also missed the Braga loss due to an adductor issue but has since taken part in training and will seemingly be fine for this one.

Nicolas Otamendi – one of seven Benfica players who would miss the second leg if they are booked here – and Jan Vertonghen prepare for their returns to the familiar Anfield turf, and Nunez will undoubtedly return to the first XI, most likely in place of Goncalo Ramos.

Despite Klopp initially claiming that Trent Alexander-Arnold would take “weeks” to recover from his hamstring issue, the right-back was on the bench against Watford and could be ready for his return.

Curtis Jones and Joel Matip are also expected to be passed fit despite picking up minor ankle and head knocks respectively, while Naby Keita is ready to make his comeback from a knee injury as Klopp selects from a fully-fit squad this week.

Mohamed Salah endured a tough time of things against Hassane Kamara on Saturday, and with Sadio Mane and Luis Diaz providing fresher options from the bench, Klopp has a massive decision to make in the final third this week.

“No regrets taking up the job. When you are called to serve the nation, I could not refuse them,” he added.

Chinmark Investor Who Invested Husband’s N30m Life Savings Commits Suicide

A Nigerian lady simply identified as Nuella, has ended her life after Chinmark, a Ponzi scheme disguised as an investment company crashed.

Chinmark Investor Who Invested Husband’s N30m Life Savings Commits Suicide

Chinmark founded by Marksman Chinedu Ijiomah and popularized by Amanda Chisom Eze, a known influencer on Facebook was reported to have crashed with investors’ funds running into billions of naira.

Nuella, ABN TV gathered, invested N30 million of her husband’s life savings without his consent.

When news filtered in that Chinmark Group was a scam and has folded up like other Ponzi schemes in the past, Nuella made efforts to get her money back from Marksman Ijiomah, the founder of the Pyramid Scheme, but all her efforts proved abortive.

She took to a WhatsApp group created for Chinmark Group investors to disclose she was going to take her life if she doesn’t get her money back.

“If anything happens to me, my blood is on Chinedu’s head,” Nuella wrote as she exited the group when it became obvious she wasn’t going to get her money back.

She was, however, later rescued and taken to the hospital, with Mr. Charles Awuzie, with a verified Facebook account posting her account details and soliciting assistance for her.

Sadly, the lady has now kept her words as news broke Monday night that she has ended it all.

In a post on his page on Monday night, Awuzie wrote:

“Nuella – the lady who invested her family’s money with you and attempted suicide last month because of you..

Well, she couldn’t handle the disappointment and she left the world today.

I did my best to avoid a possible Chinmark bloodshed…

I was called names, defamed and dragged for trying to stop bloodshed… The court and the blood of those I tried to save will vindicate me at the right time.

As I type this, there are more women in my inbox telling me that they may not make it…

Nothing has broken me like the death of Nuella..

I didn’t know much about her until I learnt about her attempted su’icide… She was so selfless that she wanted to give my gift to her to Chinmark victims who are in more need. It was because of her that I squeezed out more funds to support pregnant victims. No woman has challenged my conscience like Nuella did in the few moments I engaged with her.

Chinmark, you have caused an irredeemable loss.

You have broken the hearts that trusted you.

You have drank the blood of the poor.

Dear Red king, you have been stained with red blood. Is this a coincidence?

My heart is broken….

But this is the end of Ponzi schemes in Nigeria.

At this point, we will activate every tool available to us to bring those who killed Nuella to justice.

Hashtag – #Justice4Nuella #ShutdownPonzi #ShutdownRedKillers

Rest in Peace Nuella. There will be no peace for those who killed you.”

About 5000 indignant investors had called out the Chief Executive Officer, CEO, of the Chinmark Group, Marksman Ijiomah, over unpaid funds invested in the company in spite of the many deadlines given for refund.

For weeks, the aggrieved investors have launched trials on social media, dragging Marksman Ijiomah, Chisom, Gwamnishu and all other brand ambassadors who promoted the company on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and other social media platforms since they began operations.

It was learnt that the investors made payments running into billions under a contractual agreement that the company would on a monthly basis pay a flavour-packed ROI to them.

Below is list of some of the victims of Chinmark Group fraud.

However, in a press statement released on the 25th day of December, 2021 on its official website, SEC described Chinmark as an “illegal operator”, freezing its accounts.

The Ponzi Scheme head, Marksman, in a recent live video in his Enugu office disclosed that he has ordered liquidation of the company’s assets.

Meanwhile, amid the endless social media brawls, Amanda Chisom, one of the promoters of Chinmark on Facebook, has said that aggrieved investors of the group have continued to issue threats over her life on the basis of unpaid funds.

In an official statement on her verified Facebook page, Chisom with over 165,000 followers wrote, “First of all, let me acknowledge my part in being one of those who brought Mr. Marksman Chinedu Ijiomah and his company to limelight, even before the company became registered as Chinmark Group Limited. For someone I have known from the days of his humble beginnings, I felt like I know him to an extent…

“I did my best both professionally and as an individual, to ensure that what is happening now would never have happened, by providing the right advice to the company at all times when I had the opportunity.

“In the build-up to this time, on the 13th of January 2022, I was instructed by the company via an email, to refrain from saying anything about the company on my page and that closes all channels of communication. All effort to find out what was happening was completely blocked.

“I received several warnings and threats from some individuals and investors who felt that my Facebook post on ‘due diligenc’ affected the fortunes of the company. The threats are so far-reaching, that some of these persons have clearly threatened to assassinate me, should anything happen to the company.

“I have informed the relevant authorities of the extent of my involvement with the company and pledged my co-operation in any investigation that may arise.”

Also, Gwamnishu, another promoter of Chinmark with over 158,000 followers on Facebook said he has gathered about 1,000 investors, even as he assured them that their funds would be recovered.

In a statement on his verified Facebook page on Monday, he wrote, “From my own end as a friend to Chinmark Group and who also posted and shared his business on my page. Below are steps I’m taking to ensure partners don’t lose out completely.

“I was able to get about 1,000 Chinmark investors through a google link I created and today they will be added to a platform.

“A committee will be appointed by the partners to interface with the company. This is a one-on-one meeting where decisions will be taken.”

Some of the investors who made their stand known in different Facebook posts, said that the current reality is unbelievable and that they would engage whatever means possible in ensuring that they get back their money.

An Akwa-Ibom born, Mercy Udosen, who took to her Facebook page to lament on how she invested a whopping 20 million, said that she has been patient for a positive reply from Chinmark but to no avail she has been left totally disappointed and bewildered.

Another victim (name withheld), stated that Chinmark is the reason for the demise of his father, following the investment of his gratuity funds into Chinmark.

He said: “Chinmark made me lose my father cos he invested his gratuity in chinmark which she promoted… he die yesterday due to HBP cos of the breaking news that chinmark won’t pay…whoever knows Amanda should tell her to get ready for another burial in her family compound again this year cos am taking one of her family member down.”

This is coming from a group made up of university dons, Abia professionals, prominent members of the political class and top businessmen who are urging the people of the Senatorial District to give the former Governor their backing ahead of the 2023 general elections.

They insist that no past Senator from the district has performed as much as Sen. Kalu In terms of bringing democratic dividends to the people, saying he deserves more support to continue serving the people.

The group stormed Arochukwu on Monday where it reiterated that it is committed to ensuring that Sen. Kalu wins again, describing his representation as the best in the history of Abia state.

Dr. Kalu Ncheghe, the leader of the group appealed to the people of Abia North senatorial district to continue to support the Chief Whip of the Senate, noting that Kalu was ready to do more for the district.

He said, “Senator Kalu’s performance as a Senator is the best in the history of Abia State. We need to encourage and support his aspiration in 2023. What he has done as a Senator is unprecedented. The building of roads, rebuilding of schools and distribution of educational materials is the first of its kind in Abia North senatorial district.

“The bills, motions and infrastructural development is the best I’ve seen since 1999. We should not joke with our best at this critical time. We need more development in Abia North. Therefore, I am appealing to all to continue to trust Senator Orji Uzor Kalu even beyond 2023 for more development.”

Also speaking, Mrs Odide Okoro Agwu noted that Senator Kalu has empowered more women than any other Senator from the zone since the return of democracy in 1999.

According to her, Abia North women were ready to do their best to support Kalu’s aspiration in 2023.

“No other Senator has done what Senator Orji Uzor Kalu is doing today. He has done so much for women through his foundation and direct empowerment. Before, when we elect Senators, you won’t see them around till the next four years. Some of them even shared frying pan as their empowerment, but today, the story has changed,” she said.
