I always saw this, rather than become emotional, I was always angry and swipe away the post because I thought it was child abuse, it didn’t seem real. Don’t get it wrong, asking for crowdfunding is not bad, however, I could sense the insincerity in my guts.
StagethemTVee: Laycon Names Erica As An Actress In The Class Of A-list Nollywood Actresses
Laycon threw a surprise at fellow housemates when he names Erica as a top Nollywood actress while others were calling names like Omotola Jolade Ekeinde and Genevieve Nnaji.
What an "enemy" Laycon is? Hopefully Erica has a change of heart and mindset soon enough while singing of lay lay, of laycon.
Few months ago, I was desirous of getting an apartment in Surulere. I went on to Jiji NG to search for suitable properties. As a very detailed person, I checked for the properties and feedbacks made by the public on the account of such advertisers on the platform. True to facts, some accounts had sour feedbacks and I clearly abstained from such accounts. I encourage us to always look for feedbacks, it would enable us make the right decisions.
As luck would have it, I stumbled on an account run by Andy God’s Time Investment (AGTL). An account free from distasteful feedbacks, but no positive feedback. I contacted and reached out to the General Manager, Stanley Amadi (real name), who claims to be an Estate Surveyor and Pastor at The Lord's Chosen Charismatic Revival Movement (TLCCRM). He assured that I would get a property, I deposited my money into AGTL’s official account, but Stanley gave me an apartment where the Landlord rejected me. Stanley further assured that he would get me another apartment. For a whole month Stanley did not do much. I cannot state how Stanley treated me because it is inhumane; actually the whole purpose of this is to alert the public of the fraud AGTL and Pastor Stanley Amadi are.
AGTL is a fraudulent company. I urge unsuspecting members of the public to desist from having transactions with this company. Its General Manager claims to be a pastor, but it is a scheme he uses to perpetrate his unscrupulous acts.
Till today AGTL defrauded me of my money and changed its address, although I have tracked its General Manager down. To show you the extent at which I have gone, I have registered a complaint at the Aguda police station and he has been invited. I have also commenced criminal prosecution against him, the matter would escalate further and every thread of career and reputation which have been built would be brought down.
DO NOT ENGAGE AGTL! No matter how beautiful the apartment, house, land or plot may seem. I repeat, do not engage AGTL! You would do so at your own peril.
Feedbacks on this platform are good, that is why I am writing here. I avoided fraudsters through feedbacks; unfortunately, no one warned me about AGTL. That is why I have taken it upon my good self to warn the public of the fraud AGTL is.
Reach me on Jaxreal10@gmail.com for further clarification.
I have attached the picture of Pastor Amadi here too.

You’re wrong. The House of Reps impeaches, the Senate conducts a trial upon such impeachment, if found guilty he will be removed.
TechCapon: I respect apostle suleiman but he doesn't know what he's talking about. House of representatives in which Democrats are majority does not have power to impeach a sitting president of the United States. Whatever decision that is reached by them will only end up in the US senate and Republicans are the majority in the senate. Mitch McConnell who is the majority leader is a staunch supporter of Donald Trump same with over 90% of republican senators so there's no way Trump can be impeached. Not as long as Republicans remain in control of the senate.

1) Kabiyesi, The Oloja of Oja, Oba Adelende the 2nd (played by Dejumo Lewis). Early 1970s-1990. He was the king of the village. I loved the way that he said "Moi People" (my people) and the way he ascended the steps to his throne. He would climb up the steps, reverse back down, climb up again, reverse again and climb up a third time before sitting on the throne. He often settled disputes in his palace and was the main authority figure in the village. He was a very wise King.
2) Headmaster, Mr Gabriel Fagade (played by Ted Mukoro) 1968-1972. He was the first village headmaster.
3) Headmaster, Mr Ife Araba (played by Femi Robinson) 1972-1984. He was the second village headmaster (and my first village headmaster). He often had to clear up the misconceptions of the people, especially about new government policies, technology or new developments in the town. He was always a voice of reason and he was often the one who helped to restore sanity after Amebo's rumours had caused confusion in the village. There were many episodes that ended with the headmaster explaining to the Oloja how the crisis in the village was started and advising him on how such problems could be avoided in future.
Femi Robinson later hosted Shopper's Guide on NTA2 Channel 5 (1984-1987).
4) Headmaster, Mr Cosmas Aderibigbe Ali (played by Justus Esiri) 1985-1990. He was the headmaster throughout the second series. I remember the first episode in which he appeared. The storyline was that Mr Ife Araba was transferred to Jebaco and Mr Cosmas Aderibigbe Ali was transferred from Jebaco to Oja. He had a wife (whose screen name I can't remember, but, in real life, she served as a minister in Goodluck Jonathan's administration), a very beautiful daughter called Laraba and a relative called Doyin. One of the first episodes of the second series (New Village Headmaster) revolved around friction between Laraba and Doyin. Laraba also got a lot of romantic proposals from the teachers in Oja, especially teachers Garuba and Oghene, but she wasn't interested in any of them. I think Mr Garuba had an affair with Doyin, but I can't remember for sure.
Mr Aderibigbe Ali and Chief Eleyinmi.
5) Chief (Nicodemu Ologbenla) Eleyinmi (played by Funsho Adeolu). Early 1970s - 1990. This was one of the most interesting characters on the show. He was the second in command to the Oloja (sort of like a prime minister or vice president of the village). He was also the president of the customary court. He had a lot of bombastic catch phrases like, "with immediate effect and automatic alacrity", "konkobility", "nonsense and ingredients", etc. He also created nicknames for many of the characters in the village (some of which were not very flattering).
He was a force for good and often helped the Oloja to solve the problems of the village.
Funsho Adeolu later became an oba in real life.
Chief Eleyinmi.
6) Councillor Balogun (played by Wole Amele). Early 1980s-early 1990s. Councilor Balogun was an over-ambitious politician, whose ambition usually led to crisis in the village. He was often at loggerheads with the palace, but often ended up apologising to the Oloja.
He was fond of challenging Chief Eleyinmi's position (because he felt that he was more important than Eleyinmi) and whenever Councilor Balogun was pleading with the Oloja for mercy, Eleyinmi would advocate that Councilor Balogun should be punished severely for the problems that he caused in the village.
Councillor Balogun was also probably the richest person in the village.
Wole Amele, who played the role of Councilor Balogun, later became an oba in real life.
7) Amebo (played by Ibidun Alison). She is the village gossip and bar owner. Chief Eleyinmi often called her "Radio Oja". She is usually well intentioned, but she's not well educated and she often stumbles on information that she doesn't quite understand, misinterpretes it and spreads her misinterpreted story all over the village. This often leads to crisis and confusion.
Amebo would often quietly enter the palace while an important discussion is going on and she would sit down unnoticed. Then, after a while, Eleyinmi would notice her and immediately stop speaking. He would call her "Radio Oja" and rain his humorous and indirect insults on her. She would protest to the Oloja, who would stop Eleyinmi from teasing her. Then Eleyinmi would suggest that they continue their discussion later (when Amebo is not around). But it's already too late, Ambo has already heard and misunderstood part of what's being said.
Amebo's bar.
8 ) Sisi Clara (played by Elsie Olusola). 1968-1988. Clara Fagade was the wife of the first village headmaster, Gabriel Fagade. She was Amebo's friend, but she was much smarter than Amebo (she had native intelligence). She would often rebuke Amebo when she starts gossiping. Sisi Clara was a businesswoman, but I can't quite remember what her business was (I think she was a seamstress). I was in awe of this woman. She proved that what teachers and parents said was not true. Parents and teachers often tried to stop kids from speaking pidgin English, because they believed that it would impair the child's ability to speak proper English, but Chief (Mrs) Elsie Olusola spoke the sweetest Waffi when she was in character and spoke flawless Queen's English in real life.
9) Gorimapa (played by Albert Olayemi). Gorimapa was the palace servant, messenger and town crier. He was known for his close-shaven head and he often sat at the foot of the throne. Chief Eleyinmi called him, "Gorimapa Adorin Sahara Desert" (while rubbing Gorimapa's shaved head).
10) "Dr" Bassey Okon (played by the great JAB Adu). 1968- c1984. He was the first owner of the village chemist/supermarket. He was a dispenser in Burma during World War 2. He was called "Doctor", even though he wasn't actually a doctor. I loved the way that he exclaimed "Chai! Chai! Chai!"
JAB Adu was one of my favourite actors and it seemed like I had been watching him on TV all my life. I first got to know him from the Village Headmaster and Adio Family in the late 1970s and early 1980s, then he played the lead role in The Turning Wheel on OGTV in the mid1980s. He did a sitcom on a private tv station in the late 1990s (I can't remember the name of the sitcom), then he was on Story, Story - Voices From The Market Place on BBC World Service Radio in the late 1990s and 2000s. He then acted in a few episodes of Tinsel, where he played the part of Fred Ade Williams' doctor and then he acted in Livin' In Lagos (a sitcom) in 2010.
11) Okoro (played by the great Jimmy Johnson). early 1980s- c1988. Jimmy Johnson was the second owner of the chemist/supermarket. He was very fond of his snuff box and people can easily remember the very loud sneezing that accompanied his sessions with his snuff. He also had a short temper.
12) Boniface (played by Asuquo Ukwak). He was the sales boy at the village chemist. Chief Eleyinmi called him, "Boniface, Boni-nose, Boni-mouth". He was unhappy because he felt that he was better educated than his bosses (Bassey Okon and Okoro). An arranged marriage was once organised for him, but he fled when he discovered that his bride to be was a little child.
13) Kokonsari (played by Leke Ajao). He was the village chief priest.
14) Dagbolu (played by Dan Imoudu). I'll use the first episode he appeared in to describe him.
Councillor Balogun was up to his usual mischief and the Oloja and Eleyinmi tried to call him to order, but he brought a powerful socerer called Dagbolu to the palace. A mystic battle ensued between Dagbolu and Kokonsari. Unbelievably, Dagbolu was able to overpower Kokonsari and the Oloja fell ill at the end of the battle.
The Oloja was ill and nobody was allowed to see him. Ambo overhead a conversation about the Oloja's illness, misunderstood it and went to the streets to spread a rumour that the Oloja was dead.
There was confusion in the village. There was a rumour that the Oloja was dead, but palace officials insisted that he wasn't dead, yet nobody could see him. Who would lead the village? Who would provide direction?
Councillor Balogun returned to the palace with Dagbolu , disrespected Eleyinmi and was about to sit on the throne when the Oloja came out of the inner chamber. Dagbolu tried to recite his incantations, but he fainted and then we were reminded that the Oloja was the igbakeji orisa (lieutenant of the gods).
Apologies for any errors. I wrote all of that from memory.
15) Teacher Garuba (played by Joe Layode). He was a pompous, but grumpy teacher, who was unhappy about his position in life (he felt that he deserved better). He often drank away his unhappiness at Amebo's bar. Teacher Garuba competed with Teacher Oghene for the affections of Laraba and later Doyin.
16) Teacher Oghene (played by Melville Obriango). He was known for his white shirt, tie, shorts and cane. He was a more cheerful teacher than Teacher Garuba and he often got into conflicts with Garuba (who was much older than him). Teacher Garuba was grumpy and did things by the book. He had an exaggerated sense of his own importance. Teacher Oghene was more cheerful and approachable.
17) Policeman (played by Enebeli Elebuwa). I can't remember his actual name in the show (he was always addressed by his title, Inspector). He was the policeman who came down from Jebaco to resolve problems in Oja.
Enebeli Elebuwa was typecast as a policeman in my mind, because he also later played the role of a policeman (Inspector Ben Alamu) in the Turning Wheel.
18) Fathia Okon (played by Roseline Birch). She was "Dr" Bassey Okon's teenage daughter, who helped him in the shop.
19) Lawyer (played by Albert Egbe). I also can't remember his screen name, but he handled cases in Eleyinmi's court.
Albert Egbe later acted in Jagua Nana's Daughter and was the first Basi in Basi And Company.
20) Lawyer Iyanda (played by Sam Agbebi). He appeared many years after the first lawyer. The Oloja and Chief Eleyinmi often called him "Baby Lawyer".
Lawyer Iyanda arguing his case in Chief Eleyinmi's court.
21) Chief Afilaka. I've been trying to remember his screen name, but I couldn't until someone reminded me a few days ago. That's because I remember him by the name that Eleyinmi often called him, "Chief Tain Tain".
Chief Afilaka was never seen without a toothpick in his mouth and Eleyinmi labelled him Chief Tain Tain, mimicking the sound that he makes when he is picking his teeth. Eleyinmi didn't like Chief Afilaka because he was richer than him.
22) The Prince (1989-1990). In order to compete with the very popular soap operas like Ripples, Supple Blues and Behind The Clouds that debuted in the late 1980s, producers of Village Headmaster introduced the character of the Prince. He was the Oloja's son who had been in the US for a very long time and suddenly returned to Oja.
23) Mrs Ali (played by Patricia Akwashiki). She was Cosmas Aderibigbe Ali's wife. Patricia Akwashiki was the last minister of information in the Goodluck Jonathan administration.
24) Lakunle Ojo (played by Layi Ashadele).
There are other people whose names I remember, but I don't remember the roles they played.
25) Iluyomade. There was a character called Iluyomade. I'm certain of it. I remember the Oloja saying the name Iluyomade, but I don't remember what his role was.
26) Chief Aribabu. I also remember that there was someone called Aribabu and that he was always in conflict with Councillor Balogun, but I don't remember anything else about him.
Wow! This is really informative and nostalgic. Almost everyone seems to give all credits to the series and leave none for the original poster. @Naptu2 thank you for this, you're wonderful! By the way are you into research? If not, try that field.
SO IF WE ALL GO INTO BLEACHING AND COMPLETELY UNGODLY MODIFICATION OF OUR BODY PARTS, OUR ECONOMY WILL BE FINALLY STABLE, WITH GOOD ROADS AND GOOD HOSPITALS AND GOOD SCHOOLS FOR OUR KIDS TO ATTEND?
I really read every letter of this piece and found it useful and full of vital information. I suspect you're a lawyer, if not you may be legally inclined.
This is my first time commenting on this forum, and I'm glad it's on your post. Keep up. As for those who have regarded this piece as useless take no heed to them, they lack foresight. Keep it up.
I'm happy I've seen something like this. I wonder why things like this don't hit front page.
