No fewer than 141 Nigerians including 11 pregnant women have voluntarily returned from Libya to Nigeria with the assistance of the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) and the European Union (EU).
Segun Afolayan, Chief Planning Officer, National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) confirmed the development to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Lagos.
Afolayan said the Nigerians arrived at the Cargo Wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport Lagos, at about 10.45pmon Tuesday aboard a chartered Al-Buraq aircraft with registration number UZ189.
He said that, “After profiling, we have 71 female adults, three female children and three female infants.
“Also, there were 53 male adults, six male children and five male infants; among them were two medical cases and 11 pregnant women.
“majority of the returnees are from Tripoli, the capital of Libya which has become volatile in recent times.
“Truly, you had bad experiences differently, collectively and individually but these should be the motivation for you to make a positive decision to see the brighter future ahead of you.
“This is because no one can tell the story more than you and making better use of your lives are essential.
“The Federal Government is urging you to be ambassadors of positive change by taking the anti-irregular migration campaign to those still aspiring to take the dangerous journey.
“You can talk to them in the language they will understand most.”
Afolayan further advised the returnees to become more focused in life and not allow the unfortunate experience to negatively impact on their lives.

The police will on October 31 arraign the Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in the recent Osun State election, Senator Ademola Adeleke, for alleged examination malpractice, criminal conspiracy, and impersonation.
The police also accused the senator of presenting a forged birth certificate, stating that in his National Examination Council 2017 result obtained by detectives, he claimed that he was born on June 12, 1997, but in his statement to the police, the senator wrote May 13, 1960 as his date of birth.
Adeleke would be arraigned alongside his co-accused – Sikiru Adeleke; the Principal of Ojo-Aro Community Grammar School, Alhaji Aregbesola Mufutau; a worker who handled the registration of candidates for NECO in the school, Mr. Gbadamosi Ojo; and a teacher who allegedly facilitated the crime, Mr. Dare Olutope.
Adeleke’s arraignment under the Examination Malpractice Act, CAP E15, 2004, failed to hold on Tuesday following his absence before Justice Ekwo of the Federal High Court, Abuja.
The Force had a few days to the Osun election, filed criminal charges against the PDP governorship candidate and four others at the Federal High Court and directed him to report to the Special Investigation Panel, Force headquarters, Abuja, immediately to answer the charges.
The arraignment was, however, suspended by the Presidency following criticisms by Nigerians who felt that the action was politically motivated and calculated to humiliate him and frustrate his electoral chances.
The police had explained that on July 21, 2017, the Osun State Police Intelligence Bureau received and acted on an actionable intelligence about an ongoing examination malpractice involving Senator Adeleke and Sikiru at Ojo-Aro Community Grammar School in the state.
But while the police were taking steps to prosecute Adeleke, the Force failed to investigate or prosecute a former Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, for certificate forgery.
Adeosun resigned as minister on September 14 following an investigation which indicted her for presenting a forged National Youth Service Corps exemption certificate.
She subsequently left for London, United Kingdom less than 24 hours after tendering her resignation letter.
The police claimed that they had no idea that she was involved in the forgery of the NYSC exemption certificate.
The Force Public Relations Officer, Jimoh Moshood, told our correspondent in Abuja on Friday, that there was no formal complaint against the ex-minister. He explained that Adeosun was not prosecuted for forgery because she was not investigated by the Force.
“We don’t know anything about her case because nobody reported any matter to us, we didn’t have any complaint against her, and nobody complained or reported to us. The Force has no knowledge of any case,” Moshood stated.
When told that the matter was covered by the media for months, he retorted, “Did you (our correspondent) report to us?”
Reminded that a non-governmental organisation, Human and Environmental Development Agenda Resource Centre, had petitioned the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, to probe the forgery allegations against Adeosun before she resigned, Moshood directed further inquiries to the NGO.
Obasanjo said this during a programme titled, “The Talk,” which was aired on a YouTube Channel, “Voice of the People.”
The former President had been asked to identify the designations of certain political figures in the country.
He identified Muhammadu Buhari and Prof. Yemi Osinbajo as the President and Vice President respectively, while he also identified Senator Bukola Saraki as the Senate President.
When asked to identify Tinubu, he said, “Oh, Bola? Bola is supposed to be the leader of the APC. I don’t know the position of his leadership as you and I are talking.”
In the interview, which seemed to have been recorded before he openly endorsed the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abibakar, the former President said he had hoped that Atiku would succeed him as President in 2007.
Obasanjo said this was the reason he gave Atiku a lot of responsibilities but his former deputy made some wrong decisions.
“Atiku didn’t want to become even a Vice President (in 1999). He was elected as a governor,” he recalled.
He, however, said his plan was to mentor Atiku to be his successor but his former deputy failed him.
Obasanjo added, “My plan was that he would be given a lot of work to do domestically and Atiku even used to complain that I gave him too much work to do, which was intentional because I wanted him to get to know things.
“My second term was that having prepared him for domestic issues, I would want him to represent Nigeria for one year at the African Union, Economic Community of West African States and the United Nations for a year so that he would be fully prepared, but the first thing I found out was that his judgement was not right on many occasions.”
The former President, who insisted that Buhari had not done well in government, said as a watchman, he would continue to speak up when things were going wrong.
He said there was the need for Nigerians, especially the youth, to elect leaders that could fit into a “digital 21st century post-modern era rather than electing analogue personalities.”
On the Boko Haram crisis, Obasanjo said after he left office in 2007, his successor (late Umaru Yar’Adua) mismanaged the issue, which caused the group to become terrorists.
Obasanjo said had he been President at the time, Boko Haram would not have become what it is today.
He recalled that in 2011, with the permission of former President Goodluck Jonathan, he visited the family of Boko Haram founder, Mohammed Yusuf, and other aggrieved persons in the terrorist group and they explained why they were carrying out attacks.
The former President added, “In 2011, I went to Maiduguri. This was after Boko Haram had attacked the UN building in Abuja and I just wanted to know who they were and if they had leaders and what their grievances were.
“I found out that these elements of Boko Haram had been there even while I was in government. And they, through their intermediary, said they were there and I didn’t disturb them so they didn’t disturb me.
“They were preaching Sharia and that was what they wanted. But, according to them, when I left government, they were being chased and haunted and they lost a number of their adherents and they decided to fight back and even the leader of their sect, Mohammed Yusuf, was killed and his in-law was also killed.
“They went to court to try and get compensation which was granted to them but the state government did not pay.” YOU MIGHT ENJOY READING

The joy of every woman is to settle with her ideal man and make a happy family, but when the reverse becomes the case, some will go the extra mile to get the man of her dream.
This vividly captures the shocking revelation by a native doctor and suspected ritual killer who was recently arrested by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Lagos State Police Command.
According to the suspect, he grinds human heads into powder as charm for ladies who are looking for choice husbands and big contracts.
The native doctor who gave his name as Olasunkanmi Owolabi, is a 43-year-old native of Oyo town. He also disclosed that the human concoction could be used to cure stubborn sores, mental illness, sickle cell anaemia and epilepsy.
Arrested with Owolabi were his two cohorts, Clement Omodijie and Usman Saliu a.k.a. Alfa. Omodijie, a 54-year-old indigene of Ekpoma, Edo State, says he is married with three childre and a grave digger at Gbogbo Cemetery, Ikorodu, Lagos on a monthly salary of N22,000. He said he had worked at the cemetery for five years before he was arrested by SARS operatives.
In his shocking confession, Owolabi said, “I am an Alfa and a native doctor. But I am not yet registered. I finished my Arabic studies in Kwara State about 13 years ago and relocated to Ikorodu to work as a native doctor. I have the ambition of building a native hospital if the government gives me an approval.
“I started by praying for sick people. Last year, I met this cemetery worker (Omodijie) and told him about the products (human parts) they were wasting. I learnt about using human skull to do powerful charms and medicine after travelling to Kano, Kaduna and other parts of the north.
In Kano, I met a Yoruba native doctor who told me that if i mixed ground human bones with soap and some herbs, it would bring luck for my clients or patients.
He explained that it could also cure chronic and stubborn sores and help pregnant women to deliver without complications or operation.
Owolabi said, “It can also cure madness and other terrible diseases that defy orthodox solution.
”Women who are looking for husbands can also mix the ground bones with their powder. When they see a man they like, especially if they want a husband, they would rob the powder and talk to the man and the man will fall for them. it can also bring good luck and help job seekers to secure employment.
It can make somebody to become rich. It can cure epilepsy. A woman can also bath with it and men will be begging her to marry them. I sell a tablet of the soap for N2, 000. It depends on the pocket of the buyer. Some buy it for N1000. I sell it around Ikorodu and Ajah in lagos.
On how he met Omodejie, Owolabi said, “I knew the grave digger to be a worker in Gbogbo cemetery at Ikorodu. When he wanted to throw away some (human) parts, I told him that I needed them. I normally give him N4,000 per skull.”
On his part, Omodijie said, “I was content with being a grave digger before I met Owolabi in a restaurant in front of the cemetery in Gbogbo area of Ikorodu. Since I met Owolabi, my life has not been the same again. I have moved from one problem into another.
I was enjoying my N15, 000 monthly salary as a grave digger before I met him and he lured me into supplying human heads to him at N4, 000 each. The naked truth is that there is nothing reasonable I have done with the N4,000 per human head that he has been paying me. I used it to drink gin or smoke cigarettes with it. It is the devil’s money. I hardly fall sick since I was born. But after selling human heads to him, my health has been deteriorating.
Since abandoning his block-mounding job for the illicit business, life has become unbearable for the young man.
Hear him, “I buy drugs as if it is food, making me to spend more money than before. “I was moulding blocks before I secured a job in the cemetery as a gravedigger. We were paid on a daily basis. We used wooden or machine moulder. But whichever moulder we used, we charged the owner N500 per bag of cement, which can give one about 40 blocks. If we did three bags, we collected N1, 500.
When I got a job in the cemetery, I was happy because it is not as hard as moulding blocks.
The salary was small but I was enjoying it. The grave was shallow or deep, depending on the owner of the corpse and the way he or she wants it to be buried.
On how his trouble started, Omodijie said, “My trouble started a day I went to buy food opposite the cemetery. That was where I met Owolabi and he said there was something he had wanted to tell me. He asked whether I was a worker in the cemetery and I said yes. He said I should give him a human head and I asked him what he meant. he said the head of a corpse already buried.
We have cemetery rules, which forbid us from doing such a thing. I told him that I would not be able to do that, and he left. But thereafter, each day I went to the restaurant to buy food, he would accost me with the same request. I insisted that I would not do it because I did not want to lose my job, but he said it was better to sell human parts to him than allowing them to waste. “I summoned courage to ask him what he wanted to do with human heads and other parts. he said he was a native doctor and Alfa, and that he wanted to use it to make medicine.
He said he would grind it into powder and mix it with certain herbs for pregnant women to drink in order to deliver their babies without complications or operation.
Asked how he obtained the heads he sold to Owolabi, the embattled Omodijie said, “The graves where I normally bring out the skulls from are shallow, and coffins are not used for the corpses brought there because of religion or financial status of the owners. It is cheaper to bury a corpse in a shallow grave than to do so in a deep, cemented or marbled one. Most burials done in shallow graves are temporary. That is why that section of the cemetery is called the temporary site. After some months, the corpses buried in shallow graves are excavated and burnt. That was why Owolabi i should not allow the skulls to waste and that I should sell them to him instead.
Four of us work in the cemetery, but the other workers did not know that I was smuggling out human skulls and other parts to sell to native doctors. it was only two heads I had sold before detectives from SARS arrested me. There is no useful thing I can say I did with the money.
Like a case of medicine after death, Omodijie is currently pleading for leniency, claiming that he was deceived by the devil.
His words, “I was deceived by the devil. I am pleading for forgiveness because I did not kill anyone to sell their heads. I sold the skulls of corpses already buried and had decayed. I did not know that it would land me in this trouble,” he pleaded.

Jasmine Tridevil, a Florida, USA, lady has made history as the first woman to have three breasts.
A 21-one-year old Tampa, Florida, USA, massage therapist, Jasmine Tridevil, has shown that there is nothing impossible in this life, as long as you have the determination to achieve your dreams.
Her long term dream from the age of 13, has been to have three breasts, instead of the two God gave to her and with determination, patients and lots of money, $20,000 and a night of sex to boot, she got her wish.
Here comes the woman with three breasts! Jasmine Tridevil spent a lot of money on plastic surgery just to have a breast transplant which has made her the first woman alive to have three boobs.
And to go with her achievement, she has now landed for herself a reality show called My Third Boob. The show will center around her daily life as a woman with three boobs. Will men date her? How will she be treated on the streets? Will she be able to make it as a three-boobed stripper (her dream job)?
But Jasmine has explained why she got a third boob:
I got it because I wanted to make myself unattractive to men. Because I don’t want to date anymore. Men are big assholes.
She says the third breast feels just like her other two - except the nipple which has been tattooed on.
The third breast was made from a silicone implant and skin tissue from her abdomen. She also admits her parents were horrified by the result and have since stopped talking to her.
