A young man, identified as Taofeek Ibrahim, has hit the social media with a powerful and inspiring message, but in a very creative manner.
The young man showed and exhibited a high sense of creativity, as he chose to pass across a message to a friend of his who has decided to choose suicide as an option. According to him, he came up with the idea, so as to inspire and motivate a friend of his who is battling with depression and attempting suicide.
In the post he made on his Twitter and Facebook account, he described how he made use of a bottle, tin, lighter and a dead cockroach to depict a suicide scenario.
The post read; “I made this for a friend of mine who is battling with depression & attempted suicide. I used my tools (A phone, lighter, a dead cockroach, with a @PeakMilk tin & used bottle of @5AliveNG) to tell that “the dead doesn’t move even when the world is burning”.
“We all need YOU!!”
Taofeek Ibrahim was a student of The Oke Ogun Polytechnic,Saki, in Oyo State, who graduated from the department of Public Administration in 2019 and is currently obeying the clarion call.
He is also a Photographer and well known for his influence on social media platforms, Facebook and Twitter, most especially.
The former Governor of Oyo State, popularly known as “the constituted authority” Abiola Ajimobi has died at the age of 70.
Ajimobi who was recently appointed as the Acting National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), by the National Working Committee of the party, died due to Coronavirus complications.
He finally succumbed to death on Thursday, 25th of June, 2020, after being on a life support machine since last Friday at First Cardiology Hospital in Ikoyi, Lagos.
Although, there had been rumours about his death days before now which was formally disclaimed.
The former lawmaker fell ill after testing positive for Coronavirus and was reported to be in a critical condition before the time of his death.
He ruled Oyo State for eight years before he was appointed by Adams Oshiomhole as the Deputy National Chairman (South-West) of APC.
He was well known for his charisma and policies all through the state during his eight years of administering the state.
This is yet, another great loss to the State, and Country as a whole, after the demise of Late Abba Kyari and other prominent citizens of Nigeria.

The long awaited election which will be done in a virtual, online way, as earlier said by the management, will finally hold on Monday, 6th of July, 2020, that is, in an estimate of two weeks time.

It’s quite unfortunate how people of the jet age have decided to rather misuse the power of the internet, than using it in a constructive and in positive ways.
Now, cyber crime is the order of the day, as you find numerous people falling preys of these callous and heartless cyber crime perpetrators.
Let me quickly address this issue before it get out of hand.
Hackers now hack WhatsApp Accounts, although, they hack Facebook accounts too, but Whatsapp has been their perfect and easy spot these days.
They exploit people on your list and give them fake news.
They act on your integrity.
They will change your phone number to theirs and replace you in whatsoever group you belong. Unknown to you, your account will be used for various dubious acts online.
While you sleep at the comfort of you bed, they are awake, and aiming for their next victim, with your own account.
Just “a click” on a link by you ignorantly, is enough for them to siphon and drain you.
In order to prevent such a thing from happening to you because only God knows who the next victim will be.
Follow these steps:
1. Whatsapp Two Step Verification.
This is very easy to do.
Go to settings on your WhatsApp,
Click on Account,
Click on Two- step verification,
Enter pin,
Input your email address
And save, that’s all.
If someone wants to change it, WhatsApp will ask for the Two-step verification and without it the account won’t open.
So far you know your pin, Whatsapp is bound to ask you of your “Pin” at intervals of days. Make sure you use a pin you can always remember, even when under pressure or when you are at haste.
Also, cherish the pin, like you would cherish your ATM pin.
2. Do not Click on unknown links.
Do not make the mistake of clicking on a link from an unknown number or sources, either a DM or in a group.
These links are connected and very strong enough to review your profile, they maneuver their ways into your detail and the rest is history.
Lastly, Be very careful of any online business or transactions you intend to engage in.
Do not involve in any online transaction with someone you do not know well. So as to avoid not knowing whom to hold accountable for if duped.
Even if you know the person well, make sure your services or goods are delivered to you before you pay.
There is no excuse for ignorance. Now that you are aware, make sure not to be the next victim, and those around you.

The memo stated “Notice! Notice! Notice! There is a news going viral about this girl that she scam online, so now we have seen the truth that they use her pic to scam, not she, please help us pass this information to others and repost to all TOPS group for correction. Thank you.”
Meaning that, a scammer had use the picture and details of someone else to scam people, and the scammer has been busted.
According to investigation done by the the Investigation department of the Press Council, headed by the Pressman known as Landlord, it was established that the culprit who perpetrated the fraudulent act is a fresh student of the Institution at ND level in one of the most populous department on campus, Public Administration.
She claims to be an online business lady, unknown to her clients that she is a scammer who siphon money without rendering goods and services to her clients.
But the shocking aspect is that, the lady who in this virtual fraudulent acts chose to always make use of her friend’s details and picture, whenever she is been asked to give her details and reveal her identity before a client initiates business and financial activities.
Also, it was confirmed that one of her victim, Tunde Usman Jimoh had sent her a sum of N1500 a day prior to the shocking memo, however, the money has been retrieved, from her.
