Health / Re: Help, My Newborn Has This Skin Problem by kophy(m): 1:56pm On Jun 29, 2020
mandalorian:
Hello house, my boy is barely one month old and he developed this skin issue. One of my colleagues said it is Ela(Yoruba) but from my experience, ela use to manifest as very red tiny rashes around the neck and joints.

Now this one is not on his neck (though it is in both his elbow joints, scarcely on his Tommy and this morning I say it at the back of his knee), his skin molts around the rashes. I just can't completely describe it that's why I included the pics.

I need help elders in the house. I took him back to the hospital where he was born but they said it will go but I don't like the look.

Mods pls help me push to fp.
Congratulations to you madam for your new baby, I wish you all the best,This thing is likely what Yoruba call "alefo" if you can get a leaf call KOROPO you just cook it and use it to bath him it will go, or better still visit the ìyá alagbo i
at the market. However, do not give him any concosion to drink as he is too young for that. I wish you all the best.

Inasmuch as i agree with you, i don't think the husband should force his wife to reveal the details of her account to him if she doesn't want to
Just let him know your pin and see what he wants to do with how much you have in your personal account. I don't really know the reason some men are bent on what their wife earns after all the man is the head of the family, why is he insisting to know the financial Capacity of the wife. There is more to this than he saying he own the woman and her account. Day light thieves.

I got married to my wife 5 years ago. Before we got married, she dated a guy. We all stayed in the same area. I live here because it is close to my place of work. Her ex lives in the area. He does building contractor. While they were dating, I met my wife. I was able to convince her to date me. And since the guy was always travelling, I was able to get close to her. I think I won her finally after we had sex. Because that first day, I scattered her brain. She later left the guy. I proposed, she accepted and we got married.

I will say, at that time I got married to my wife, her ex and I were on the same level financially. But, recently, the guy has turned to something else. He does building for people overseas. People said the guy's work is good and he is always getting contracts. My wife said he had a 2.1 in Civil Engineering. He started selling cement. He is now a dangote cement distributor. He built a duplex at the junction of my street. He has 3 cars in the compound (he recently bought 1 car during this lockdown that people are saying no money oo). I and my wife do not have any car. I am still a tenant. We have to pass front of his house every day.

During this lockdown, my office has being delaying salaries. It has not being easy. I have had quarrels with my wife in the past but yesterday was the worst. During the quarrel, she said she regrets marrying me. That if she had ignored me and married her ex, she would have being living comfortably. I almost beat her up. Then she told me that this her ex paid her school fees in 300 and 400 level when she almost pulled out of school for lack of finance. She regrets paying him back by leaving him to marry me.

Since then, I have not being myself. I just created this account to express myself.

Family / Re: Are Best Friends Worth It? Mine Abandoned Me In The Streets Of A Foreign Country by kophy(m): 9:35am On May 19, 2020
slyfox35:
Best friends or closest friends as some people term it is quite normal in the life of 80% of world population, I had one too.

We grew up as teens together, matured as adults together, he came to our house always and ate all his meals with us. My mom was really nice to him when she was alive. He wore my clothes and never returned them. I did not ask because my parents always provided for me although they were average citizens.

Then the worst thing in my life happened. I lost both my parents within the space of four years.
Things turned downhill for me (orphans do suffer a lot.. Too much suffering for you to believe there is even God in heaven who takes care of the fatherless and motherless).

My friend travelled to an African country. He kept telling me to come over there to work that things are better there. I kept declining but after a year of constant pressure, I decided to man up, packed my bags and travelled to meet him.

Guess what? I did not stay up to 5 days with him!!!

His attitude changed by the second day, he yells at me at every given opportunity, from his best friend, I turned to his boy, the heat he was given me was so bad that when he leaves the house and he comes back, I get scared just by hearing his footsteps. I virtually turned to a nonentity to him. I had no money on me because the little I had left, he collected it when I arrived. I knew no one, I felt so miserable and alone and I started regretting why I left Nigeria.

On the fifth day ,I woke up early in the morning and shook him up. I don’t know what got into me (but I am glad it did), I told him I can’t stay with him anymore and I want to leave. He did not even feel bad about this, he did not think of the fact that I know nothing and nowhere in this country. He let me go.

I packed my bag amid tears and went into the street. Mind you, I had no one to call back in Nigeria... It was tough on me but as a naija guy and as God will have it, I did not spend even a night on the streets. I was shocked that a total stranger took me in, clothed and fed me. He taught me everything he knows. I worked for 6 months and was able to make 2 million Naira. This was like a dream to me (If you get money ehn, to praise God Dey sweet o)

I came back to Nigeria, rented an apartment, furnished it and continued working from here.

This so called best friend of mine saw my posts and pictures on Facebook and video called me to check on me (I guess his eyes did not believe what he was seeing) he asked me if I am in a hotel, I said no, I am in my apartment. He was shocked (me I nor keep any grudge against you) he told me he was coming to Nigeria and that I should please forgive him and forget everything that happened. I told him I can forgive but can’t forget.

What surprised me most are this exact words he said “my guy, if I come, na your house I go relax first abeg”

Now my fellow Nairalanders, I am asking, how should I go about this?

I have forgiven him but should I allow him into my home?
Man, yes you have forgiven him, but beware leopard can not change his skin! If you give him any chance he will hit you so hard and it could be disastrous.

I did it at last. The predator has been killed around 3am this morning. Summoned all courage to go out after I heard noise coming from the cages. Unfortunately, there was no way for it to get inside and I simply pointed the torch directly into its eyes and gbaaaam!!! That was it.

After all I have been through and the losses incurred, I will be eating snake to compensate for the emotional trauma it has caused me, my birds, and my two cats (Jumia & Rubbie, of blessed memories).
I really thank God for you had killed it. However, for the prevention of snake in future, I learnt you can plant these two common local leaf (1) EWE ARUNPALE (2)EWE GEGEMU(this I learnt some guys do smoke the dry leaf to make them high) sorry I don't know the English name but I will Google it then send it back to you or if I get the pictures I will send it. I am sure the two are well known leaves. Infact the GEGEMU is commonly used in homes as flowers with table tennis egg like seed, but it has torns all over it. Thanks for sharing all these information with us.

There is this lady I like so much, even my friends know that I like her so much and will love to spend the rest of my life with her.

One day, I saw her with my friend and I later asked her why she is so close to my friend. She said they are dating each other, that she cannot marry me simply because I am tailor.

My friend is a yahoo boy, he doesn't have any work. The only way he eats is via internet scam. To be honest I was so pained, moreover she is not the only lady to have done this to me. Have met several ladies that told me that they can't marry a tailor and they end up dating yahoo Boys for my street.

They always tell me to leave my tailoring job and go hustle like my frnds to make cool money.

Guys, I am tired.. Should I leave the tailoring job and join my friends to do the yahoo stuff?

Girls keep rejecting me up and down and I am fed up.

Pls advise me

Politics / Re: Abacha Loot: Al-Mustapha Talks About How Funds Were Taken Out Of Nigeria by kophy(m): 9:23am On Mar 08, 2020
Witcher:
Gen. Sani Abacha Was Largely Misunderstood
The painful death of Gen Sani Abacha, Nigeria’s former head of state and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. Ordinarily, twenty-one years is a long enough period for the living to forget the dead. But a lot of sentiments still trail Gen. Abacha’s name both in Nigeria and elsewhere. Why is it so? It is because the man had the infectious grin, the energy, the faithfulness, the shining confidence, the sagacity, the courage and the zest that leaped out of a background of solid patriotism hitherto unknown and yet to be rivaled in Nigeria. Therefore, to remember him now, twenty-one years after his untimely death, with the image of a living man in our hands, shows that Abacha is larger than life, in the memories, emotions, and minds of his fellow Nigerians. After death, the real Abacha is now the symbolic man, the figure about who have clustered the yearnings, the lofty ideals and the aspirations Nigerians have for themselves and their country.

Having worked himself up the hallowed cadre of the Nigerian ruling class as Head of State, Abacha, in his passion, concern and vulnerability, was one of the representative men of his generation. His personal quest for identity, understanding and power mirrored the turbulence, paradox and dream of mid-twentieth century Nigeria. He lived through a time of unusual turbulence in the history of the country, and he responded to that turbulence more directly and more sensitively than any other political leader of the era, at least in Africa. Gen. Abacha was equipped with certitudes of courage, faith and love for country- attributes that sustained him till death. But they were the premises, not the conclusions of his life. For he possessed, to an exceptional degree, what literary experts call “an experiencing nature”. History changed him, and had time permitted, he would have changed history. His relationship to his era makes him, unarguably, one who embodies the consciousness of an epoch, who perceives things in fresh light and new connections, who exhibits unsuspected possibilities of purpose and action to his contemporaries.

Indeed, Gen. Abacha never had the time to fulfill his own possibilities, which is why his memory haunts so many of us now. Because he wanted to get things done; because he was often impatient and combative; because he felt simply and cared deeply, he made his share of mistakes, and enemies. He was a romantic and also an idealist, and he was also prudent, expedient, demanding, fearless and ambitious. Yet the insights he brought to governance- insights earned in a labour of self-discipline and self-purgation that only death could stop- led him to see power not as an end in itself but as the means of redeeming the powerless. Abacha was to Nigeria what Charles de Gaule was to France: a man with military background but, who, ironically, brought uncommon composure and dignity to statecraft. This is not to say that military personnel possess exceptional leadership qualities. Far from it! Those ones only worked up themselves to become the tribunes of their generations. It only brings us to the incontrovertible fact that democracy is still preferred to the most benevolent military dictatorship anywhere, anytime. Abacha was indeed a diamond among stones. But because he was maligned and castigated by a section (Lagos/Ibadan axis) of the Nigerian Press due largely to political considerations, he became the most misunderstood of Nigerian leaders.

In fact, the emotional legacy left by Gen. Abacha is so intense in Nigeria, but it is yet deeper and even more fervent in the entire West African sub-region. This point is important and thus could be made with an antidote: since a man is not measured by what he did before he became a leader, or by what he said and did after he was a leader, but by what he did, and not by what he said while he was a leader, we can now comprehend the passionate veneration of Gen. Abacha’s memory. Today, we seek a sense of the man in order to understand the deep emotional response to the memory of the man. We know what happened and we cannot undo that knowledge. Even as his immediate friends and successors started destroying what he stood for soon after his painful exit, we cannot but get the record straight. But the meaning of that straightened record is inextricably involved in the meaning we also try each day to discern in the confusion of the living present. It is a tragic reality that those who thought to have upheld his enviable legacies have demonstrated a grand betrayal of what the man stood and died for. Could Abacha have built mansions, bought limousines, owned oil wells and own universities while in power? The answer to this poser is a loud NO!

The conditions of misery and inequality that troubled Abacha still persist among Nigerians while people in power remain untroubled. Despite his extremely emotional bent, Abacha’s youthful vigour and impressive grasp of the black man’s burden won for him national and international acclaim. His administration which lasted for about five (5) years was most memorable, leaving a 36-state structure for the country and achieving a leadership for Nigeria in Africa through a decisive foreign policy thrust that was basically Afrocentric, and a clearly defined anti-corruption war. Perhaps, the most concrete demonstration of this was his mobilisation of West African leadership to restore order in Liberia and Sierra Leone. Under his watch, Nigerian soldiers restored democracy to those West African countries. In 1996, Gen Abacha created a number of new states to give some marginalised people a sense of belonging: Bayelsa, Ebonyi, Ekiti, Gombe, Nasarawa and Zamfara.

An expression of his unrelenting crusade against corruption was accentuated in the setting up of the Anti-Failed Banks Tribunal and the National Deposit Insurance Corporation of Nigeria (NDIC). Even though his actions had some unintended consequences, his anti-corruption campaign was not merely cosmetic. It was on the basis of the depth and spread of his anti-corruption campaign that analysts had a unanimous position that his attempt at sanitising the system was total. But not for his mature and courageous handling of the June 12, 1993 Presidential Election crisis, Nigeria would have relapsed into another civil war. Despite the Afrocentricism of Nigeria’s foreign policy thrust under Gen. Abacha, Nigeria was not a big brother without a home, her impact was deeply felt in all the four corners of Africa. When Cameroon tried to annex part of the Nigerian territory in 1995, Abacha sent Nigerian troops to check that country’s egocentric maneuvering. Under him, the Nigerian economy was most stable throughout his years in power despite being branded a pariah state as a result of international conspiracy against Nigeria. Throughout Gen. Abacha’s five years in the saddle, Nigeria did not owe any external debt.



What people now mischievously refer to as “the Abacha loot” was the money the country kept in foreign banks deliberately to ward off the plot by the foreign powers to block our foreign reserve. This shows that Gen. Abacha was ahead of his time. He was a very trust-worthy man who never disappointed his friends. His composite love for Nigerians was legendary. Of all the military men who ruled Nigeria from 1976 to 1999, after the assassination of Gen. Murtala Muhammed: Olusegun Obasanjo, Muhammadu Buhari, Ibrahim Babangida, Sani Abacha, and Abdulsallami Abubakar, Abacha was the best in terms of managing the economy for the good of all Nigerians. His economic team led by Prof. Sam Aloku, Dr. Kalu Idika Kalu, Dr. Paul Ogwuma, and Chief Anthony Ani, remains the best till date.

Can there be any wonder, therefore, that Nigerians in their millions cannot fail to contemplate the shrew, practical, resourceful and often irritatingly dynamic leadership qualities of their only leader who came close to possessing the ennobling ethos of a national hero? It can be said emphatically that Nigerians can appreciate good things and love to celebrate a hero when they see one. The Nigerian intelligentsia including scholars, students in Nigeria and the world over still celebrate him. Which is why twenty one years after his untimely death, memories of Abacha’s pragmatic leadership still linger in their consciousness. It is as a result of the scarcity of men of Abacha’s latent qualities in leadership positions that Nigerians are yearning for him twenty one years after. But a time will surely come again when the most endowed nation in Africa will overcome its indifference to the degradation of its citizens. Only then can Gen. Abacha’s tall legacies be seen to have exemplary values.
From this your long but interesting write up, it shows you are an informed Nigerian who has fact and figure in her finger tips. I really commend you for this fact, I am sure one day the facts will surface for all to see. Thump up.

Please help me beg God if I offended him unknowingly to please forgive me and blessed me with baby boys ( triplets). Please
Madam just be thankful that God gave you children, either male or female look around you, I am sure you would have seen or heard of couples who are married years back but no single fruit of labor to crown their union still the are hopeful. Recently I am sure you read about siblings who are all girls of the same parents that are medical doctors. I am sure perhaps at a time either the father or the mother too may have felt bad about having all females in their family. But we all know we can not do anything about the sex of a child, only the almighty does that. I have four children, including a set of Triplets, among who is a boy. My sister think very well and appreciate what the God has done in your life. Some people will be reading this and be blaming God for they have neither girl or boy they call their biological own. Please appreciate whatever you have including this precious gift from the most high. I pray that God will touch the heart of your husband where he will see reasons to thank God and appreciate him the more. There are millions of men out there that they are not Man enough to father any child and the still thank God. Tell your husband if for whatever reason (God forbids) what we call a Man in him stops, will he remember if you are carrying you fifth daughters. Let appropriate what God do for us, hmmmmm, if he changed it to the other, we can not stand it. Have a save delivery.

Crime / Re: Burglars Steal Solid Gold Toilet Worth £1milion In A Raid On Blenheim Palace by kophy(m): 7:51am On Sep 15, 2019
BlackDuke:
Why will someone name a toilet America?
ojú
titiloyeblog:
Burglars have stolen a solid 18-carat gold toilet, worth £5 million from Blenheim Palace in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, England

The operation took place in the early hours of Saturday, September 14.

The toilet titled 'America' which was created in 2016 by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan only went on display two days ago during an exhibition.

Thames Valley Police have confirmed the toilet was stolen and a 66-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the theft and remains in police custody.

Dominic Hare, chief executive officer of Blenheim Palace, told the BBC the toilet is valued at about six million dollars and was a 'very precious piece'.

He said the theft of the solid gold toilet 'was a huge shock'.

'Staff were instantly aware of what happened and police arrived very, very quickly indeed,' he added.

When asked if the artist had been contacted, he said: 'There were some slightly nervous calls at 6am but we have spoken to the artist and Lord Edward at the art foundation, and many of the trustees and they have been magnificent in their support.'

Mr. Hare added: 'We have a sophisticated security set-up here and we have had no loss of this kind in living memory, which probably reflects the quality of that operation.

'The events of the last 24 hours mean we may have reason to reconsider some of our systems.'

He was also asked whether a party, which took place at the palace on Friday night, could have created an opportunity for the theft.

In response, he said: 'We have been asked not to comment on the investigation. But there was a clear time separation between those things.

'There is always a risk when you display valuable art to the public, but it is worth that risk, even now, it was still worth that risk.'

Confirming that the palace would reopen on Sunday following repair works, Mr. Hare explained: 'We've now got a huge hole where there was once a golden toilet.'

Detective Inspector Jess Milne said: 'The piece of art that has been stolen is a high-value toilet made out of gold that was on display at the palace.'

Inspector Richard Nicholls added: 'We are aware they left about 4.50am this morning. CCTV is one of the aspects we are looking on and that will come out in due course.'

When asked if he believed a reception party held on the same night of the exhibition's launch could be connected, Insp Nicholls said: 'I am not aware of the reception party personally, but that would form part of our inquiries in order to ascertain events leading up to the item being stolen.'

Thames Valley Police also disclosed that the offenders broke into the palace overnight and left the scene at about 4.50am.

Detective Inspector Jess Milne said: 'Due to the toilet being plumbed into the building, this has caused significant damage and flooding.'

Detective Inspector Milne added: 'We believe group offenders used at least two vehicles during the offense.

'The artwork has not been recovered at this time but we are conducting a thorough investigation to find it and bring those responsible to justice.

She continued: 'Residents will see an increased police presence in the area while officers and staff carry out inquiries.'

'I am appealing to anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious in the area to contact police.

'You can call us on 101, quoting URN 273 (14/9), visit our website or visit a police station.'

Family / Re: Indomie Generation: Who Exactly Are They? by kophy(m): 5:36pm On Aug 31, 2019
dangotesmummy:
E pain am sotey he go research about the history of infomie grin

Actually when people refer to any individual as an indomie generation,it means the person is young,naieve and ignorant of WHAT HE SHOULD KNOW OR IS EXPECTED TO KNOW

You know how millennials are.young,dumb, entitled,lazy yet they always think they're smarter than king Solomon.those are what characterize indomie generation


Then again you know indomie is just 2 minutes?,they want to do/have everything fast without taking the patience to go through the process and learn

Bottom line sha is that anyone that has childish behaviour or displays little knowledge of history and it shows is what they call indomie generation.for example if I am discussing with a friend and I say I enjoy the music syncro system and millennials interject and say who sang syncro system or who sang redemption song, or doesn't know that once upon a time in Nigerian history MTN SIM or mobile phones were only used by the elites and mercedes Benz were only used by big boys or rich men's kids to woo girls on campus.i'Il quickly know this one is an indomie generation child grin

One of the indomie generation child is below me.he just proved my point aptly of the reasoning and characteristics of an indomie generation grin

And yes the society was better then because we could leave our kids with neighbors and go to the market without fear of anything.anyone that tries it now,na sorry be him name,we could close our doors without padlocking or fencing it yet nobody will steal our stuffs

We could buy stuffs from market women and drop the money on the wares and whenever the owner of the product comes she will pick her money because people lived with CONTENTMENT AND MODESTY grin

Those days you could take 100 naira to the market and stock up your kitchen to the brim because food was cheap.eggs were 10 Naira,small coke was 15 Naira and the big one was 25 naira

With 30naira you can enter molue from mile 2 to festac

Festac was a peaceful, tranquil and safe haven before it became a den of pickpockets,armed robbers,kidnappers and Yahoo boys. you can go to a relaxation joint with just 500 naira and buy drinks and pepper soup to your satisfaction even as late as 2am and you are safe.if you walk around festac by 11.54 you will be sorry for yourself.infact by 7pm shop owners are closing when it was even at that time faaji was getting started

Never did I know festac will deteriorate to the level it is now

Those days you will beg,stalk and write several letters before you can manage to see a woman's cleavage.female nudity was rare but now you can meet a girl in tfc,buy her meat pie and in the twinkle of an eye you have bleeped her without much effort

Now men don't have to leave their house before they order for vagina online and the vagina will be brought to their doorsteps with just online booking

Millennials,I hope you can now understand why the older generation are irritated with your ways and lifestyle of how you do your things.not that the older generation were saints or perfect but they do things with tact and discretion.now no single taste again

We also went to night club.they call one of the night clubs 11.45.i don't know whether it's still being operated? Even in the club they were sexy in our own standard of sexy then o but not naked or in colourful rags and bogus wigs and heinous make-up grin

Those days you could put rice of 20naira and egg 10naira into the flask of a child to school but now it is indomie they put in their food flask to school

You need to watch music videos of the 80s and 90s then compare it with the olamides,davido,dammy Krane,tiwa savage etc,then you'll understand my point and the level of deterioration



Even club girls those days had to be begged for several months or sometimes years to see the colour of her pant but these days even church girls,to enter her pant no go reach 2weeks

Then by 10pm TV station closed.it was just nta we had it will show different colours of lines before it closes and the TV shows were edifying not the ones kids cannot even watch.millenials don't even know the difference between family soap operas/family drama and soft porn

All our own entertainment didn't pass

Everyday people
Family circle
Super story
Passion
Second chance
Gardner's daughter
Secret of the sand
And nta news.but now go to MTV naked video vixens,trace,naked women, everywhere nudity and sex

Also teenagers getting pregnant was a serious abomination,they were ostracized and the parents shamed so parents really monitored their kids till they got to university.its not like now ss2 boy will be fucking jss3 girl inside the school toilet or at the back of principals office grin

Meanwhile the kid below me makes me laugh grin

If you want to recreate the old times,you can go and buy egg for 10 Naira or tell conductor you are going to mile two from agboju bustop.when you get into the bus,give him 30 naira and come back and tell me your experience wink

You can go to idumota and buy 6yards of original hollandise material for 1500 naira wink
You can do night party in ikorodu and stay there with your friends throughout the night,them come back to share your experiences

You can spend 3 thousand naira to do a big parlour birthday party with your friends
Take your kids to amusement park in Ikeja and buy candy floss for them 150 naira

Go to the saloon and do washing and setting for 150 naira wink


You can enter a cab from mile2 to idumota for 2 thousand naira wink

You can make Sunday rice and stew for 200naira that will feed the entire family and church visitors wink

You can buy expression attachment for 350naira and braid it for 700 naira wink
You can buy chewing gum for 3 ....2 naira,50kobo


You can buy pink oil for 70naira wink
Talking about music, the millennials have zero taste , power, substance and lyrics when it comes to music.nothing to gain, inspire or provoke deep thoughts from music like back in the days.their song no pass your bombom is driving me crazy,idi Araba,epon todun ,o'ndomilataro komajekinsun. grin

No let me open Una Yash finish o grin

That's just a taste of the iceberg,no put hand for my mouth o grin
Tump up you really analyze it with deep nostalgia to those who are part of your generation. But after all these you said you no won open their yansh, infact nothing left on them but you says the truth 100 %.

I don't know why people from your end hate Buhari so much without basis. If he fails to do a thing, you curse him; if he does, you curse him still..Or you give the credit to someone else with a stewpid justification for doing so.

Amen, ooo even if the cost na #10, 000. I no want, and I will not need one by his grace, that is why I am conscious of what I put in my stomach and I also pray for God ultimate protection. For those for one reason or the other find themselves in that situation I pray God the greatest healer to heal them.

Rasaq Aderoju Raheem, 31, was sentenced to serve 115 years in prison; Oladimeji Seun Ayelotan, 30, was sentenced to serve 95 years; and Femi Alexander Mewase, 45, was sentenced to 25 years, according to the U.S. Department of Justice .
The men were arrested as part of a joint operation involving South African Police, Interpol, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations as well as the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
All three were extradited from South Africa to the United States in 2015.



A Nigerian accountant and part-time pastor in the United Kingdom, Sam Kayode, has been sentenced to nine years in prison for stealing £4.1m.
Kayode was sentenced on Friday by Woolwich Crown Court in South London for defrauding Haberdashers’ Aske’s state schools in the UK.
The part-time pastor, who earned £57,000 per annum, was convicted after being found guilty of £150,000 theft and £3.95m fraud.
Out of the £4.1m, only £800,000 was recovered from him.
Described as “dishonest” and “greedy”, the court heard how Kayode lavished the loot on four women – his wife, Grace; a second ‘wife’ in Nigeria, Olubunmi Halima; and two other women in the UK.
British prosecutor, James Thacker, said he also bought luxury cars, including a Mercedes, an Audi TT sports car and an Infiniti car with the money.
The court also heard how for seven years, the convict looted the accounts of Haberdashers. He was said to be secretive, locking himself in his office to work late “after arriving in a Mercedes, wearing £500 Gucci shoes and carrying a Louis Vuitton briefcase.”

Phones / Re: Google Records Everything You Say Around Your Phone. Learn How To Delete Them by kophy(m): 7:10am On Aug 23, 2019
MGab25:
By The WebPamphlet

Google’s voice search function doesn’t just turn on when you ask it to. Rather, it records almost everything. The outlet reports that Google began doing this in June of 2015. Sounds creepy yet? Well, it gets even worse. You see, you can listen to the recordings Google has stored and associated with your name simply by visiting this webpage the company set up.
[img]https://1.bp..com/-RP6ZBE9tMVE/XV58-X79q9I/AAAAAAAAAFs/MNDLtxULk2gpKx6FTZqKyRK8i3i2KviaQCLcBGAs/s1600/Google%2BLogo.png[/img]

The feature works as a way of letting people search with their voice, and storing those recordings presumably lets Google improve its language recognition tools as well as the results that it gives to people. But it also comes with an easy way of listening to and deleting all of the information that it collects. That’s done through a special page that brings together the information that Google has on you.
How to delete the recordings
Luckily, if you’re not too happy about Google having potentially hours of your voice in its database, you can delete those files.

Beside each file’s title you’ll see a checkbox.

[img]https://1.bp..com/-iB8DkOYo-qc/XV5_oSbr9hI/AAAAAAAAAF4/sFERB3TCRDUwTiDHCdY25UpGT1yD1S9SQCLcBGAs/s1600/Google%2BRecordings%2BScreenshot.png[/img]

Simply check those boxes and click 'delete'.

How to Stop Google from Recording You Again
Now, as The Independent points out, stopping Google from recording you does result in some limited functionality if you’re using an Android phone or the company’s search.

However, you may be someone whose concern for privacy is much greater than finding what you’re looking for easily. If so, begin by never using Google’s voice search functions again. Follow up by disabling Google’s voice search.

Follow these steps for Android users:

1. Navigate to Settings
2. Tap the General tab
3. Under “Personal” find “Language and Input”
4. Find “Google voice typing” and tap the Settings button
5. Tap “Ok Google” Detection
6. “Under the”From the Google app” option, move the slider to the left

Political office is different from joints so wise up there lots of things you see, you know you are aware of but alas! you will not divulge even to the closest person in your life, if you know you know.
