Crime / Rise&fall Of The Dreaded Criminal DERICO NWAMAMA by mrben101(m): 2:26pm On Nov 16, 2021
DERICO NWAMAMA: a blood thirsty criminal, the streets of Onitsha and Anambra state in general will never forget in a hurry.�

The 22years old, whose real name was Okwudili Ndiwe. He was a native of Onitsha in Anambra state.

Okwudili was popularly known as 'Derico nwamama'. He was a replica of Anini, Oyeanusi, and other ruthless criminals of unblessed memory. While he terrorised the city of Ónitsha, he also held the whole of Anambra state at ransom.

Derico started as a poor street kid, he graduated into picking pockets, and then into a notorious criminal whose name sends shivers down the spines of Anambra people.
Derico was terror personified.

He and his gang, became nightmares to the inhabitants of the southeastern Nigeria. To many, he was invisible and could not be arrested by the police.
Derico nwamama was an expert in bus robberies. He never thinks twice in sending his victims to the great beyond. Derico was ruthless, and heartless. The residents of Onitsha, especially the business men lived in perpetual fear of their lives and properties.

A police officer, once told a heartbreaking story of Derico and his gang.
On the 16th of February 1999, Derico, in company of Chiejina, who aside Derico, happened to be the most dreaded criminal in Anambra state at time, besieged a family at Onitsha. The plan was to carter away with the man's money. Unfortunately, the man deposited the money they seek in the bank before returning home.

Derico got angry, and grabbed the man's 4 months old son, threatening to throw him down the three storey building. The man and his wife pleaded dearly for the life of their innocent son, hoping that Derico or any of the members of his gang would show empathy. Derico ran out of patience, and flung the baby from the building, before shooting the man twice in the head.

DERICO AND CHIEJINA'S RELATIONSHIP:

These two were not just friends, they were partners in crime. Derico and Chiejina and their boys robbed as tag teams. Derico was not based in Anambra, he was based in Abuja as at that time. From Abuja, the federal capital Territory, he comes to rain terror on the inhabitants of Anambra.

Before Derico came into limelight, Chiejina was particularly renowned for being very ruthless, and cold blooded. It was alledged that he forced families into having incestuous relationship, while he watched to his own amusement. Mothers were forced to lay their sons, while fathers were made to have carnal knowledge of their own daughters. Any attempt to resist this absurd request, meant Death.

The relationship between Derico and Chiejina went sour, after they had a disagreement during a meeting held by the youths of Ado Onitsha in order to curb the incessant criminal practices happening in the town. Chiejina refused to back out, he even went ahead to attack some of the youths that graced the meeting. The youths beckoned on Derico to help them in the matter, but it didn't yield much result, the youths never relented.

They planned with Derico and some brave men of the police force to raid Chiejina and his gang. The operation didn't really go as planned because Chiejina wasn't there when his gang members were rounded up and moved to the Central police station, Onitsha.

Chiejina Found out about Derico's role in the operation that cost him almost all his gang members. He felt betrayed, so he summoned Amobi, his right hand man, who also was his bike man, to take him to Derico's parent's humble abode.

Getting to Derico's family home, he met Derico's father, who he didn't waste any time in wasting his life. Decorated the elderly man with series of bullets.

Derico got the scores, and set out for vengeance immediately. He, Derico, ran into Chiejina around Emmanuel church at ugwunokpamba road in Onitsha. He didn't waste time in giving him a bullet bath, sending the great Chiejina, of the underworld down the gutter...
Derico went further to lift Chiejina into a wheelbarrow, and took him straight to the police station at Isiokwe, Onitsha.

Unverified reports has it that, Chiejina begged Derico on their way to the police station, not to take him there alive. Derico, did him the favour of pumping one last shot into him, thereby easing the southeastern Nigeria from their nightmare.

Getting to the station, the police officers were jubilant, they celebrated Derico as the king and protector of Onitsha town.
Little did they know, that they didn't just celebrate their own nightmare, but paved way for him carry on his criminal exploits.

The death of Chiejina, was the pacesetter for Derico. In fact, it was the birth of the notorious, and cold blooded Derico Nwamama.

Derico boiled the entire Anambra and its environ like 'Anam Yam'. It wasn't funny. He had a hideout in Umuleri, and other states like Benin, and Delta state.

THE FALL OF DERICO!

In one of their operations in December 2000, Derico, and his gang bit more than they could chew.
They raided a 59-seater luxurious bus, filled to the brim. This happened at the popular Upper iweka.
On Derico's order, all the passengers, were robbed and executed on the spot. Only four persons survived that ordeal.

The then governor of Anambra state, Chinweoke Mbadinauju, out of thirst and hunger to end Derico's reign, he recruited the dread local security operatives 'the Bakassi boy', to help fight insecurity in the state.

On the 3rd of July, 2001, Derico took a commercial bus from agbor, heading to Onitsha. Getting to Onitsha Headbridge, they were stopped by the ruthless Bakassi boys.

Derico sensed danger, and decided to act fast. He jumped out through the window, in his quest to escape, but he wasn't lucky enough because one of the Bakassi boys was quick enough to chop of his left ear, and the criminal was captured.

Funny enough, the highly dreaded criminal began to cry, and begging for his life. But the vigilante group paid deaf ears to him. Derico was taken to Borremeo hospital for treatment because he was losing a lot of blood.

On the 9th of July, 2001. Exactly six days after Derico was captured. The Bakassi boys drove around town in convoy, chanting war songs till they halted at Ochanja market junction, along upper iweka road.
The Bakassi boys dragged Derico out from the vehicle. His look was nothing to write home about. He looked battered. The Bakassi boys really dealt with him. Pains were written allover him.

One of the commanders of the Bakassi boys vigilante group, by the name Okpompi, addressed the people who came to have a last sight of Derico. He told them that the Bakassi boys were strictly fighting crime, and have no intention to play any sort of politics in the state.

Okpompi hand the microphone over to Derico, who was already trembling. He didn't waste time in pleading for his life;
"My name is Oddy, alias Derico, alias Nwamama. I appeal to you, the people of Anambra state, please don't kill me. I don't like evil, you know, it was after I killed Chiejina that people thought I'm a strong guy.
I trust Bakassi boys, they are strong. Please mercy for me. Nobody can identify me as having robbed him. People just believe that I'm a strong guy."

Derico further confessed that he was sheltered by a member of the National assembly in Abuja, and another big figure, who he claimed was a local government council chairman.

What followed was a horrifying display of public execution. In a swift and unforgiving manner, one of the Bakassi boys lifted his very sharp cutlass, and sent it flying through Derico's slim neck. The crowd roared as they watched Derico's head roll on floor, his body convulsed, and blood pumped out of his severed neck.

The Bakassi boys were not done yet, they sliced the remains of Derico into smaller chunks, assembled them, and set him ablaze. Derico's pitiable remains was burnt to ashes.
He was just 22years of age. He left behind, no good memories.

Career / Meet Nigerian 29 Year Old Female Owner Of THE SHADE ROOM Worth 29 Million Dolla by mrben101(m): 1:51pm On Apr 08, 2020
The Shade Room is one of the most popular sources for American celebrity news and entertainment on Instagram. But did you know the founder is Nigerian!

Angelica Nwandu’s media company described as Instagram’s TMZ has grown to a community of 15 million followers on Instagram within the last two years.

Here are five things you should know about the entrepreneur:

1. Nwandu was born in the United States of America in 1989. Both of Nwandu’s parents were Nigerians who migrated to the states.

2. She spent her childhood in foster care. When she was seven, her father killed her mother and she and her four sisters were taken into foster care.


3. Before becoming a media entrepreneur, she wanted to be a poet, a rapper, an accountant and a writer.

As a poet she was published at the age of 16. She obtained her accounting degree from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles in 2012. As a screenwriter, she wrote a script with American actress Jordana Spiro and this went to the Sundance Film Festival.

4. After getting a grant from Michelle Satter, Director of Sundance, she started The Shade Room as an Instagram account. Three days after her first post, she had 3,500 followers. Six months later she had half a million followers.

“The purpose of the Shade Room’ is to report on Black culture”, she said in an Complex interview.

Her Instagram page has been deleted several times. The Shade Room now publishes across six different platforms. The company has grown from being just Nwandu to 15 employees with two offices in Atlanta and Los Angeles.

5. In 2016, Time Magazine recognised her as one of 30 most influential people on the internet. She was also listed under Forbes’ ‘30 Under 30’ list in media. Even at the light of this Corona issue this is a little something to cheer some lovers of success up .

simpleseyi:
Yes, GEJ is right. Dansuki did not steal $2.2 billion, GEJ actually gave Dansuki the money to share among the gang of looters.


He gave Obanikoro 4.3 billion naira just for Ekiti election. He gave Olu Fale 100 million naira just to support him. He gave Bafarawa 4.3 billion naira for spiritual purpose. He gave Jim Nwobodo 100 million naira for election even when Nwobodo does not work in INEC. He gave ex-convict Bode George 100 million naira to try and rig election in South West. Northern Elders Forum too got several hundreds of millions to bribe almajaris to vote for him. He gave Olisah Mentuh 450 million naira for doing nothing, the idiotic Olisa Metuh used the money to buy house in plantain sorry, I mean banana island. He gave Peter Odili 100 million naira for election manipulation. He gave FFK our gigolo brother 840 million naira for lies and lies on Buhari. He gave Raymon Dokpesi 2.1 billion naira for propaganda. Several Chiefs of Naval, Chiefs of Airforce, Chiefs of Army, even Chief of Boy' Scout shared several billions. Even our beloved mother in Christ, High Chief imPatience Mama Piss has 31 million dollars in one bank. The list is endless. Yet some nonentities still wonder why Buhari has not turned Nigeria to America and France combined in less than 2 years.

Crime / Canadian Lottery Jackpot Winner Dies After Attempting To Gold Plate His Balls by mrben101(m): 11:52am On Nov 29, 2015
Many people like to flash their cash in different ways – for instance, gold and diamond mouth grills. But to celebrate his recent jackpot win, Justin decided to take it to another level.

Justin Reiter from Alberta, Canada, died of medical complications after attempting to gold plate his own genitals to celebrate an astonishing $598,556 jackpot win.

According to friends, the 27-year-old was enamored with the 2002 movie comedy Goldmember—an Austin Powers parody of the Bond movie Goldfinger in which Powers is hunting a criminal mastermind who colors his victims’ man parts in gold.

Justin started by painting his genitals with a lead-based paint, but quickly decided that a simple coloring wasn’t enough: he needed to take it to the next level, he needed the real gold. To complete the makeshift operation, Reiter used a professional automotive gold plater that he borrowed from a garage. Unfortunately in the twelve hours following the procedure, Justing encountered a series of health issues that ultimately led to his death.

Autopsy reports shows that the actual cause of death was lead-based paint poisoning.

Dr Ian Joseffson of the Alberta Community Hospital warns of a growing trend of wannabie gangsters attempt the “deadly operation”.
Some experts believe the trend stems from the Mayas who painted their bodies with gold to empower themselves as offering the gods.

Others think it’s because, ultimately, these people are stupid.

Politics / FORMER USA Vice President In Trouble Over Nigerian Bribe To Get HARLIBURTON Deal by mrben101(m): 3:49am On Sep 07, 2015
September 6, 2015: Former Vice President is CLEARLY a criminal . . . we ALL know that. Well now he might be going to JAIL FOR IT. The President of Nigeria just announced CRIMINAL CHARGES against the former VP. Here is how it's being reported:

President Buhari promised to go after everyone who looted Nigeria, be they Nigerians or foreigners. Now he has netted a big fish: former United States Vice President Dick Cheney.

Cheney was the number two under Bush, often touted as the most powerful Vice President in recent US history.

Nigeria’s anti-corruption police said today that they will charge former US vice-president Dick Cheney over a $180m bribery case involving energy firm Halliburton. The announcement follows a probe into the construction of a liquefied natural gas plant in the conflict-ridden Niger Delta.

Halliburton’s top official in Nigeria has been summoned and 10 of its Nigerian and expat staff detained for questioning after a raid on the company’s office in Lagos. Cheney was head of Halliburton before becoming George W Bush’s vice-president in 2001.

“We are filing charges against Cheney,” said Femi Babafemi, a spokesman for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), adding that the charges were likely to be brought next week. He declined to give any further details on what the charges were or where they would be filed.

Romance / Nicki Minaj Officially BREAKS UP With Meek Mill ... Couple 2 Make It Public Soon by mrben101(m): 4:16pm On Jul 31, 2015
July 31, 2015: Just when you thought that Meek Mill's week couldn't get ANY WORSE . . . MediaTakeOut.com learned that Nicki Minaj and Meek have officially decided to call it QUITS. Nicki reportedly broke it off with Meek LAST NIGHT. Don't worry concertgoers . . . they are still of GOOD TERMS - at least NICKI IS with Meek. The two plan on FULFILLING the rest of the tour obligations together.

But as for their relationship . .. . it's a WRAP.

What caused the BREAKUP . . . and why did it happen LAST NIGHT . . . shortly after Meek Mill's new diss track FLOPPED?? According to one of Nicki's BEST FRIENDS, "It's complicated. I think they took their relationship too far, too fast." Nicki's homie REFUSED to say whether the Drake WAR had anything to do with it.

But we suspect that IT DID. You'll recall that MediaTakeOut.com BROKE THE NEWS that Meek STARTED THE WAR when he learned that Drake and Nicki had a 'DATING' RELATIONSHIP in the past. And it has to be MORE THAN COINCIDENCE that Nicki DUMPED DUDE . . . just when he's become a LAUGHING STOCK on social media.

Celebrities / Whitney Houston Still Decides Where Her Fortune Goes- Following Daughters Death by mrben101(m): 8:57pm On Jul 27, 2015
Bobbi Kristina was set to inherit at least $20 million when Whitney Houston died, but there were strings attached and it looks like most of that fortune will be determined by Whitney's wishes ... not her daughter's.
We've seen a copy of Whitney's will, which established a trust in which Bobbi Kristina got 1/10 of Whitney's estate when she turned 21.
Bobbi Kristina was set to get 1/6 of the balance when she turned 25, but that will not happen since she died tragically at 22.
Whitney's will provided that if Bobbi Kristina died before reaching 25, all the money would go to the people Whitney designated. Translation, Bobbi Kristina had no authority to give away 9/10 of Whitney's fortune.
As for who Whitney designated ... mother Cissy and brothers Michael and Gary. The will also gives Bobby Brown a cut, but there's an issue. The will is worded to "my husband, Robert B. Brown." Obviously, the will was drafted before they divorced in 2007, and the issue is whether Bobby still qualifies since he is no longer her husband.
According to the law of New Jersey, where the will was drafted, Bobby will NOT get the money because being Whitney's husband is a qualifier which he no longer meets.

Celebrities / Meekmill Launches War On Drake After He Finds Out NICKI Is Dating Him Too by mrben101(m): 3:54pm On Jul 22, 2015
July 22, 2015: It's going DOWN n the world of HIP HOP - Drake vs Meek Mill. Meek Mill threw the first BLOWS on Twitter last night, when he called out Drake - claiming that Drizzy doesn't WRITE HIS OWN RHYMES. That's a very IRONIC CHARGE coming from Meek - whose GF Nicki Minaj ALLEGEDLY doesn't write her own songs.

So what's behind all the HARSH WORDS? MediaTakeOut.com reached out to one of our SNITCHES inside DRAKE'S camp and we're told, "Meek is upset that Drake [allegedly dated] with Nicki. I think Nicki is low key in love with Drake and Drake is low key in love with Nicki. You have to see how they are when they're around each other. If I was Meek, I might feel some type of way about it too."

The ALLEGED relationship between Nicki and Drake occurred while she was Safaree . . . but when she was also creeping with MEEK.

The insider continued, "Meek is very insecure, and he should be. He got Nicki on the rebound . . . she just came off a long-term relationship with [Safaree] and you know sh*t like that [rebound relationships] never really work."

Our OVO snitch added, "Real talk though - I think Nicki and Drake really will get married one of these days."

Wow . . . so THAT'S what this is really about.

Celebrities / Breaking News: Chris Brown Has Been Taken Into Custody In The Phillipines . . . by mrben101(m): 2:32pm On Jul 22, 2015
American recording artist Chris Brown, who staged a concert on Tuesday night at SM Mall of Asia (MOA) Arena in Pasay City, was stopped on Wednesday afternoon from leaving the country for his Hong Kong concert.

The Grammy-winning R&B artist was advised by the show’s promoters not to leave his room at Nobu Hotel in City of Dreams because he had been put on the watch list of the Bureau of Immigration, a source with direct knowledge of the incident told the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

The reason for ordering Brown’s name to be on the BI watch list, said to have been signed by Justice Secretary Leila de Lima, remained unclear to this source. Brown’s concert promoters have proceeded to the DOJ to know the full story.

The source said that Brown had no warrant of arrest but could be detained at the airport for questioning.

Pending clearance from the DOJ, the promoters were hoping that Brown would be allowed to depart Manila by Monday, July 27, the source added.

Sources at the immigration bureau, however, said that Brown had become a subject of a Department of Justice (DOJ) lookout bulletin for an estafa complaint filed against him for failing to show up in a Dec. 31, 2014, Philippine Arena concert which he top-billed.

One source said that the lookout bulletin indicated that the criminal complaint had been for the foreign artist’s alleged “deceitful misrepresentations and swindling.”

Brown was supposed to leave at around 2 p.m., Wednesday, on a Gulfstream IV aircraft, parked at a private hangar in the Ninoy Aquino International Airport general aviation area near Terminal 4.
Romance / 50CENT Declares Bankruptcy After Release Of Rickross Baby Mama Sex Tape by mrben101(m): 5:26pm On Jul 13, 2015
50 Cent is down for the count after losing a multi-million dollar lawsuit ... he's just declared bankruptcy.
TMZ has confirmed ... 50 filed for bankruptcy on Monday, 3 days after Rick Ross' baby mama won a $5 million jury verdict against him.
50 is in a world of financial hurt. A jury awarded Lavonia Leviston the $5 mil after determining the rapper intentionally leaked a sex tape in which she was featured, in order to embarrass Ross.
50 has been ordered to produce proof of income and worth so the jury can determine punitive damages.
According to the bankruptcy filing -- a story first reported by Page 6 -- 50 says his assets are valued between $10 and $50 million but his liabilities are also between the same range.
On top of that, 50 lost a court case in which a jury socked him with a $17.2 million judgment over ripping off a headphones design.
It's a breathtaking fall .. in May, Forbes estimated 50's net worth at $155 million.
