She also experienced nightmares and hallucinations that reinforced her negative feelings towards her mother. Additionally, some religious leaders told her that her mother was trying to harm her, which further fueled her animosity towards her mother. She even wished her mother death at some point. She wrote; “This is a video of me and my biological Mom. I loved her intensely when I was younger. She was, and still is my best friend. However, as I got older, I began to dislike and develop a deep hatred for her. I had nightmares and hallucinations that supported my euphoria. “Sadly, many men of God told me after several man!c episodes that she was after my life. And so I went about wishing her death and spewing despicable things about her. “Looking back now at my mental health challenges and journey, it’s laughable to know that those dysfunctional thought patterns and beliefs of mine were a disorder, a chemical reaction in the brain waves that switches your “most favorite” to “your least favorite”.

NDLEA declares prophetess, celebrity couple wanted for drug trafficking

NDLEA declares prophetess, celebrity couple wanted for drug trafficking

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has declared prophetess Faith Ugochi and celebrity couple Igho Ubiribo and Danielle Simba Allen as wanted for their alleged involvement in recruiting teenage girls into drug trafficking.

NDLEA declares prophetess, celebrity couple wanted for drug trafficking

Ugochi is said to be the founder of Christ Power Adoration Ministries based in Port Harcourt, alongside her groups are believed to be key players in an international syndicate based in Los Angeles, USA. The drug cartel was exposed when NDLEA operatives intercepted a shipment of 32.70 kilograms of Loud, a potent strain of cannabis, hidden in cartons of used clothing at the NAHCO import shed of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos on November 16, 2022. Following the seizure, Ukoh Ifeanyi Oguguo, a freight agent, was apprehended, and further investigations led to the arrest of four more suspects: Chikodi Favour, Obiyom Shalom Chiamaka, Nnochiri Chidinma Promise, and Edward Omatseye (aka Montana). NDLEA’s statement reads in full “The 15-year-old Favour was the first sales girl to be arrested at a fuel station in Ajah area of Lagos. “She thereafter led the operatives to a duplex accommodation around the Ikate area of Lekki, which was later discovered to be a rented apartment by the criminal group purposely for four young girls that the syndicate uses for marketing and distribution of illicit drugs.

“Another girl, Shalom, who is a fresh graduate of Agricultural Science from Rivers State University of Science and Technology was picked from the house alongside Favour. “During their preliminary interviews, it was learnt that the syndicate rented another building used as a drugs warehouse inside Richmond Estate, Lekki. By the time operatives located the house, it was discovered that other members of the syndicate had broken into the store and carted away bags of illicit substances. “However, some illicit drug paraphernalia including sealing machines, bloating machines and packaging bags were recovered from the warehouse. “A follow-up operation led to the arrest of Edward Omatseye at his residence around the Lekki area. Edward confessed during an interview to be working for Igho and his wife, Danielle, who are identified as the overall heads of the criminal group. “Investigation was able to establish that Favour and Shalom were recruited as sales girls in the illicit drug trade by Prophetess Faith Ugochi of Christ Power Adoration Ministries, using her church platform to recruit teenage girls brought to her for help, on behalf of the celebrity couple: Igho Ubiribo (aka Tiny) and Danielle Simba Allen (aka Dani), who are the owners of the business, while Edward Omatseye (aka Montana) coordinates the illicit drug trade activities for them in Nigeria, with Nnochiri Chidinma Promise as representative of Ben Cargo Ltd, a freight company responsible for the shipment of illicit consignments into the country. “While Nnochiri Chidinma Promise and Edward Omatseye (aka Montana) have already been charged to court and are currently facing trial at the Federal High Court, Lagos alongside Ben Cargo Ltd, a freight company which had been linked to two previous drug seizures and also involved in the current case, several attempts to get Prophetess Faith Ugochi, Igho Ubiribo and Danielle Simba Allen submit themselves for questioning have proved abortive. “A letter of invitation sent to Prophetess Faith Ugochi of Christ Adoration Ministries, No. 27 Anozie Street, Mile 2, Diobu, Port Harcourt, Rivers State on 28th November 2022 was received and acknowledged by her mother with whom she runs the Church. The letter was followed with a reminder on January 9, 2023 after a long wait.” NDLEA sent letters of invitation to Igho Ubiribo and Danielle Simba Allen “A reminder was also sent when the couple didn’t show any readiness to respond to the first invitation. While Prophetess Ugochi fled her home and went into hiding but continued her prophetic ministration on Facebook, the duo of Igho and Danielle initially sent a legal representation to ask for another time to honour the invitation, they have since gone incommunicado. “Curiously, they hurriedly moved all funds traced to their company Lasgidi Backwood Ltd where all proceeds from the sales of illicit drugs were deposited into a private account of one Victor Imagoro. The agency has since blocked the sum of Eighty Million Naira (N80,000,000) traced to the account and obtained a court order to seize all properties including a fuel station linked to the suspects in Lagos and Port Harcourt. “The NDLEA has further sought and obtained an order of the Federal High Court Lagos to declare wanted the celebrity couple: Ubiribo Igho and Danielle Allen, as the arrowheads of the illicit trade as well as Prophetess Faith Ugochi, who recruits teenage girls as sales representatives for the duo.” “While a suspect, Abraham Alaigwu was arrested at Slaughter, Trans/Amadi area of Port Harcourt, Rivers state with 91.7kg of cannabis on Thursday 30th March, 228kg of same substance was seized from Ayodele Osuya, 35, in a Toyota Camry car around Quarter Guard area of Akure, Ondo state.” While commending the officers and men of MMIA for a painstaking investigation of Prophetess Faith Ugochi and the celebrity couple, Igho Ubiribo and Danielle Simba Allen along with other members of their cartel, Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of NDLEA, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Retd) assured that no effort will be spared to ensure the fleeing suspects are brought to face the consequences of their actions. “He also expressed his gratitude to operatives of Apapa, DOGI, Edo, Cross River, Rivers, Kaduna, FCT and Ondo Commands of the Agency for their resilience, professionalism and excellent synergy with other security agencies in their areas of responsibility. He charged them and their colleagues across the country to continue to raise the bar in their daily attainments.” pic.twitter.com/ftucwMEEdX — NDLEA NIGERIA (@ndlea_nigeria) April 2, 2023

Manchester City wanted to sell Zinchenko before his move to Arsenal

Manchester City wanted to sell Zinchenko before his move to Arsenal

Manchester City coach, Pep Guardiola has revealed that they had plans to sell Oleksandr Zinchenko before his move to Arsenal. Manchester City wanted to sell Zinchenko before his move to Arsenal - Guardiola Speaking ahead of a top-of-the-table clash with Arsenal, Guardiola revealed that Zinchenko was told his minutes would be reduced after a poor run in the 2019-20 season. He disclosed that the Ukrainian defender decided to stay and fight for his place rather than accept an exit at the time. Guardiola said; Manchester City wanted to sell Zinchenko before his move to Arsenal - Guardiola “Everybody is in love [with him] at City. He was an important figure in our club. What I like most about Alex is in the first years, we maybe wanted to move him from here because we thought he wasn’t going to play much. He said, ‘No, I want to fight for my position!’ I said, ‘Alex, it’s difficult, I have many players in your position.’ He said, ‘No, I’m going to play here.’ He trained really well, never had a bad face, aspiring when he plays, always had good behaviour. “Normally when you don’t play, you don’t say you’re going to play and say, ‘Ah I don’t want to do it’. He was completely the opposite, seeing him in the gym working extra-time.”

Hamann claims Guardiola ‘never wanted’ Haaland at Manchester City

Former Liverpool midfielder Didi Hamann has claimed that Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola “never wanted” Erling Haaland at the club.

Hamann claims Guardiola ‘never wanted’ Haaland at Manchester City

Haaland has scored 31 goals in 28 matches in all competitions, with 25 of those coming in the Premier League, but despite that unbelievable goalscoring record, there are claims that Manchester City would play better without him. In an interview with talkSPORT, Hamann insists that it’s “almost like playing with ten men” for City when Haaland is on the pitch and that Guardiola “never wanted” the former Dortmund striker. He said; “Haaland’s strength is the opposite of what City’s strength is. “City were successful because they retained the ball, they had rhythm, they had fluidity in their game and they shared goals. Hamann claims Guardiola ‘never wanted’ Haaland at Manchester City “Now you’ve got a player who a lot of the time in their matches hardly takes part, it’s almost like playing with ten men. I don’t care how many goals he scores or how many hat-tricks he scores, you need to see how many goals the team scores. I think they’ve scored less goals at the same stage of last season and have got less points. “I don’t think that Haaland is a player that fits into the team because he’s everything the team isn’t. “He’s good when you play quickly – at Dortmund he scored his goals after they turned over the ball, played three or four passes and the ball was in the back of the net. With City they pass the ball 30/40 times before breaking the team down and that’s not his game. “I don’t think long-term he will improve City’s team and that’s their biggest problem.” Hamann claims Guardiola ‘never wanted’ Haaland at Manchester City Also commenting on claim of Haaland and Guardiola not having a good relationship, Hamann added; “I never thought he was going to go to City because he’s a player Guardiola never wanted. “Every centre forward was sent away from Barcelona, at times he played Robert Lewandowski on the left at Bayern Munich, Gabriel Jesus played out wide most of the time. “Maybe they thought ‘there’s a player who we get for £50-60million and he’s twice or treble that, we have to buy him’. “Would he be a benefit for Chelsea or Manchester United? Yes, I think so. Would he have scored the same goals for them? I don’t know, probably not because at City he gets more chances than for these teams but I don’t think he’s a good fit for Manchester City.”

Then I began to focus on the money, and that’s where strategy began. “I became selective and it informed how I moved. I think it was another 5 years in, a bit of fame & fortune had found me. I can’t remember what the public post was about now, but that’s when I experienced “going viral” for the 1st time. “Oh, the different interpretations – many of them totally off the mark. Then it hit me again; whether I realised, liked, signed up for it or not; with “fame & fortune” comes a certain level of responsibility which should guide the way one moves. Wisdom, not cowardice.” In the beginning, all I wanted to do was act; to perform and be seen.
