MY CRASHED MARRIAGE WAS DUE TO IRRECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES...PRINCESS

Comediene, Damilola Adekoya, popularly known as Princess, tells PunchNG, that she was shocked with the kind of publicity her failed marriage generated! ‘’ People called me from all parts of the world including China. Some people cried while some people felt happy. Some guys said they were happy my marriage ended. Some said they were not happy that I even married the guy. Some said I looked older than him.

Some said my marriage shouldn’t have ended just like that. People talked and talked. But the only time you know your marriage is successful is when you live with your partner and God calls one of you home. Marriage of 30 years can still break up. It is a bad thing for a marriage to breakup. So you can imagine the unhappiness the parties involved would be going through. Nobody is happy when his/her marriage ends. Some people see me outside and ask, ‘your marriage has ended, how do you feel?’ I will answer them that I am jumping up or how else do they expect me to feel? Nonsense! A comedian once said that ‘complete’ and ‘finish’ appear to have the same meaning but they are not the same. If you marry the right person, you are complete but if you marry the wrong person, you are finished.

She went further to say that: ‘I got married to somebody who I was in love with. At that time, he also said he loved me. Unfortunately, the marriage ended too soon.

It was due to irreconcilable differences. It is not a thing of joy. I don’t think we should celebrate sadness and bad news. We should be more sensitive. No marriage should end but peradventure it does, don’t make a mockery of that person. You are not even mocking the person, you are mocking God. She added.

Are you giving it another shot?

When asked whether she will give marriage another shot, she responded as a good comedian : ‘No! Me ke? Let us struggle first and make some money. In any case, I think I should marry a Chinese or an Indian. If many people agree that I should marry a Chinese, then I will go ahead. But a Japanese might be better. Japanese products are strong and reliable.

WHO WILL RESCUE THESE NIGERIANS IN MALAYSIA?

Malaysia–Nigeria relations refers to bilateral relations between the two countries dated back to 1965, when the late Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Nigeria's first Prime Minister, became a good friend of one of Malaysia's post-independence leader, Tunku Abdul Rahman. Malaysia and Nigeria are the members of D-8 and Commonwealth and have been diplomatic friends since early 1965.

Having said that, the recent development happening in Malaysia of recent calls for re-appraisal! The inhuman treatments meted out to Nigerians living in Malaysia in recent time shows that Malaysian authority have no respect for what they call ‘bilateral relations’!

Am not saying that Malaysian Immigrations, police or security must not do their jobs, but at least Nigerian citizen must still be treated with dignity. How can someone imagine in this 21st century, whereby a police will be beating, chaining and degrading somebody because that person is an illegal immigrant!

Malaysian Home Minister, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, commented early this year that; based on statistics, 400 of Nigerian students are now in prison for various offences. “We have recorded 40 cases of violent crimes involving Nigerian students here, 505 cases for over-staying and immigration-related offences and 1,003 cases involved commercial crimes. “We are concerned over the involvement of Nigerians in crime here in Malaysia. He said.
I read with dismay on internet where anonymous Malaysian wrote that she has developed racist tendencies towards Nigerian living in Malaysia because of their actions; bothering on Murdered of a Nigerian by his fellow Nigerian, their wild parties that eventually resulted into fracas, and that some Nigerian drive expensive rented vehicles and they don't appear to even work.  ‘Then it came to my knowledge that a few Nigerians have "adopted" illegal Filipina women and are now pimping them. Hence… the wealth!’

However, despite the fact that some Nigerians in Malaysia are fraudulent, we still have lots of professionals and law abiding students living there. Hence, each person must be treated accordingly.

On March 7, 2014, I read in Linda Ikeji’s blog where one Nigerian student Adelabu Tunde an indigene  Ekiti State was allegedly shot dead by Malaysian police ,according to his friend who described what happened thus: "Police was raiding in another apartment, Tunde and his friends come back from school then the police car followed them. Tunde ran and got shot in head by a police man. Please share the truth. He was not fighting, he was shot by police that came for extra pocket money.! And the police left the scene as soon as he was shot." – Witness
Same on Linda Ikeji's blog, I read a press release accusing the Nigerian Ambassador to Malaysia of corruptions and wrongdoing thus:
                 
‘’Reasons why Malaysian police harass Nigerians - By students in Malaysia

1) AMBASSADOR- The Nigeria Ambassador in Malaysia HIS EXCELLENCY, AMBASSADOR BELLO SHEHU RINGIM, NIGERIA is  the most corrupt Nigerian in diaspora. ranging from selling diplomatic passports, conniving with malaysian police to arrest Nigerians and deport them and also setting them up with drugs case so as to make money in terms of releasing or granting them bail. Being money concious he has said it before that Nigerians here dont pay homeage to him. (We are students your excellency and you dont enxpect us to spend $1 on you SIR, because you are appointed by the Nigeria government not by our parents.)

2) Ambassador: The ambassador and so-called workers in the Nigeria embassy demands more than the actual amount for new passport or replacements of passports whereby a student passport is misplaced or expired. The embassy demands more than one thousand dollars for new passport and takes days.

3) Ambassador: Nobody, i repeat nobody have ever questioned the Malaysian Government why they harass students knowing fully well that these students when they summit their passport  for visa renewal, visa-holding letters are normally given to them by the Malaysian immigration yet their police and immigration during raiding still arrest and deport legal students having these letters. Of all these activities, the Ambassador is fully aware and his not showing concern about its fellow Nigerians. Although

4) The ambassador believes that everybody in Malaysia is not a student. Meanwhile the Malaysia Airport(KLIA) is one of the best airport in the world combating drugs and illegal immigrants. 80 percent of Nigerians in Malaysia apart from the once the AMBASSADOR sold diplomatic passport to are students. Be it a small scale school or International Schools in Malaysia Your excellency sir all fingers are not equal.

5) Imagine the security at the gate of the Nigerian Embassy (An Indian and  Bangladesh)  molesting Nigerians in front of the Embassy just because they want to go into their own Embassy to get their passport renewed yet the Ambassador will show no concern and sometime drive by. (Ambassador)

6) The ambassador told the Malaysian Government not to renew visas for Nigerians or hold it for a long period of time with this we get arrested, detained to pay a ransom before finally being deported.

   Just mentioned but a few of the fraudulent activities of the Nigeria High Commission in Malaysia, NEXT will be an Open letter to Mr President (GEJ) if nothing is done within the next 72hrs not only an open letter but just like a tip of the 2011 riot that Niger Delta Amnesty student we will storm the Nigeria Embassy and the world will hear your corruption Your Excellency.

                                                        STUDENTS IN MALAYSIA’’

 From the foregoing, who will then save these Nigerians in Malaysia?

COVENANT UNIVERSITY STUDENT KIDNAPPED AND MURDERED BY HIS FRIENDS IN LAGOS

John Chinedu Okere, a 300 level Electrical Engineering student of the Covenant University, Otta in Ogun State, has been kidnapped and murdered in Lagos by his friends.

According to reports, Chinedu, 20, left home Wednesday morning, August 6, 2014, to a Hospital in Yaba, Lagos for medical reasons. Jude Okeke, Chinedu’s father narrated that about mid-day of the same day, he received an SMS notifying him that Chinedu had been kidnapped.

Chinedu’s father said “At about mid-day, I received an SMS that John had been kidnapped. Later, I received a phone call from a hidden number. The caller said they had my son, Chinedu and demanded N10 million as ransom threatening to kill him if we refuse to comply. Immediately, I inquired who the caller was, the line went dead. My wife and I quickly reported the case to the Divisional Police Station at Sabo, Yaba.”

It was learnt that initially when the whole issue started, the family of the victim felt it was a kidnap that would just be resolved but unfortunately, as events continued to unfold, it turned out to be a premeditated murder. Shockingly, the decomposed corpse of Chinedu was discovered in one of the rooms at ‘DE Homes Hotel’ located in Ejigbo by one of their staff, two days later.

According to reports, the Manager of the hotel went to Ejigbo Divisional Police Station on Friday, 8, 2014, to report the case of murder and investigation began.

A reliable source in the hotel told Vanguard newspaper that ‘’early Wednesday morning, the prime suspect, Okorocha Michael along with another young man simply identified as Okey, checked into the hotel with the name Christian. “He booked the room for three days with the name Christian. He claimed he was a youth corps member who wanted to write exams and would be there from that Wednesday to Friday. He also said he was expecting his Cousin to join him in the hotel.

‘After booking, Michael left his friend Okey in the hotel and returned an hour before the victim, Chinedu arrived the hotel, which was at about 3pm that day. As soon as Chinedu arrived the hotel, Michael took him to the room. We don’t know what happened inside the room. However, it was later gathered that during their stay in the room, the suspect reportedly confronted the victim on some personal issues. The confrontation eventually led to a heated argument, which later led to the suspect strangulating the victim to death. On Friday, a hotel staff discovered the lifeless body of the young man and alerted the police.

The 24-year-old suspect, Okorocha Michael, who was arrested on Sunday, in a friend’s house around Ajah area in Lagos, is a graduate of Lagos City Polytechnic, Ikeja.

NB: This is very pathetic and saddens news; children beware of the kind of friends you keep.

It is important to note that Dr. Olusegun Mimiko was the secretary to the Ondostate government under Late Agagu when he was the governor of Ondo state. Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, later appointed him a Minister, he got these appointments as a PDP member. However, his ambition to contest for the governorship of Ondo State under the banner of PDP was not realised, hence he dumped Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to join the Labour Party to realise his dream and he won.
