Businesswoman loses N97million, house

As a Christian and an international businesswoman, Mrs. Vivian Amadife’s greatest wish was an opportunity to personally meet Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka, a Catholic priest based in Enugu. Moved by her belief that as soon as she gets to meet the priest, her life and businesses will improve, she was excited when her friend of 10 years introduced her to one Dr Ohamadike, founder of Esoteric World Discovery Limited.

She was told that Dr Ohamadike is highly spiritual that Father Mbaka found him worthy to be a friend. The quest, she alleged, costs her a house and about N97 million. She reported the incident to Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) which recovered her house and still investigating the N97million alleged fraud.

Make money, ‘hammer’, be somebody. Anyhow! Under the rubric ‘deal ‘, ‘runs’ or ‘hustling’ , anything goes. Do it , just don’t get caught. Make money. If you are caught , settle or sort it. Only the cursed goes in for it and “that’s not your portion”. Mammonism.

N500,000 can’t do a lot , can’t fetch you a new car but it can buy you a baby boy. And for a bit less you can take home a girl . Off the shelf, almost. Waiting period could be just a couple of days. You can choose the mother from amongst a collection, and have it made for you. And that comes slightly cheaper but the order requires a deposit. If you want a set of twins, it can be arranged. The women are often fed with fertility drugs whose adverse effect of precipitating multiple pregnancy fits the design of the project. Heavy laden, waiting for off-takers.

Saw this article on facebook and decide to share with my blog readers. What can I say to this? Hmm!

Every man or woman you have sex with deposits and leaves a part of their soul in you.
Most of us haven't been properly educated about sex. It's almost a taboo to discuss these things outside of private matters but the silence leads to lack of awareness of what it even is.

I mean it is the most powerful force that creates life. Most see it as a physical experience but forget the bond, the connection, energy exchange and deep cellular one experiences with their partner.
