5- How My Ex-Wife And Relationship Expert Amara Nwosu Beat Me Up With Her Kids – Van-Lere

Francis Van-Lere has revealed how his ex-wife Amara Nwosu and her children beat him up, NAIJA NEWS NG reports .

In a lenghty article, Francis Van-Lere described how his ex-wife and mother of three children, Amara Nwosu destroyed his two-year love affair with a wonderful woman.

Read his words : “The babe is hot, with big yansh and firm legs.” Francis Van-Lere took Amara Blessing Nwosu to the cleaners in the post that is reproduced below by disclosing some sensitive details about his now failed marriage to the relationship expert.

“In 2013 or thereabouts, I met this 22-year-old well sought-after girl on facebook with thousands of followers. I first noticed her as she kept telling me that I should behave like my age on practically every post that I made.

She later on started attacking females who paid me compliments on my posts as if we were dating. It got to a point that I contemplated blocking her and on the other hand I enjoyed seeing her comments on my post and her pretty face plus her wide hips, yansh and firm legs. That babe is hot!”

Finally, I went inbox to chat her up and was surprised how sweet this person I thought was a ‘Tiger’ was. We spoke for a long while that first time and after that every day after she returned from her university classes. Eventually we fell in love and became inseparable.

In 2014, I started considering marrying her and by 2015 I was mentally ready for her. Everyone I asked for their opinion were like ‘she is too young, marry someone about 40 years old and if possible, a single mother this way you will not be changing diapers at an old age, you help her raise her kids and she will be there for you at an old age so will her children ‘.

In her case ‘Marry a younger man that you will both grow together not this old man that you will soon be baby-sitting! All of a sudden, a curvy single mother with four children popped into my life and I started thinking maybe this is the babe the ndi marriage partner advisers were talking about and before I can say ‘Jack Robison ‘I gave up someone I have known for two years or more and married someone I met within two months.

One of the conditions I gave this single mother before we got married was that the marriage be kept secret to allow me inform my brothers, children and this young babe first and not that they suddenly find out. The single mother did not keep her word. One of my brother’s wives called me the next day after the wedding to ask why she and my brother were not invited to the wedding?

Amara Nwosu
Relationship expert , Amara Nwosu

I was like what wedding? She said it was on Linda Ikeji blog with photos and even Naira land and Guardian Newspapers. That was the first time ever I heard of Linda Ikeji blog. I asked the single mother why she did not keep to our deal? She said it was to let all my girlfriends know that I got married. Next thing I know I was getting clips from Guardian Newspapers from friends about her changing her maiden name to my last name and all ‘former documents remain valid ‘

This young babe found out and it was not a pleasant separation that I ended up blocking her everywhere social media and WhatsApp not to deteriorate our relationship further by what we say to ourselves in anger. Two years after marrying the ‘marry an older woman and If possible with children that you will help her train, this way she will be there for you in your old age ‘ , we had an award winning divorce . Herself and the children that were supposed to be there for me in my old age beat me up to near death before they moved out of my house.

I went back to unblock my young babe to peep into her wall to see what she has been up to. I just saw her graduation from law school and I blocked her back but unblocked her on WhatsApp and direct calls. She must have noticed I unblocked her on WhatsApp as not long after she sent her law school graduation photos with a message thanking me for being supportive and being there during her education and she had wished that I would have been at her graduation and be proud of her. Yes! With her graduation photos I was proud of her.

Since I was emotionally damaged from divorce, I did not want to go back to her to repair me. I felt that she must have gone through her own disconnect from me so let me let her be and I did not even respond to her message thanking me as any communication may bring us back and I wanted her to meet someone new.

A year after my divorce she got married and sent me Whatsap photos of her wedding and I went and unblocked her again to see the full wedding events on her wall then re blocked her though I responded to her by congratulating her and only kept WhatsApp chat with her to birthday messages once a year.
Suddenly late last year she started communication with me on Update this time looking more matured and even more beautiful than when we were together.

Eventually after a few Update calls I had to ask where her husband was as she was being free talking in the house! That is when she said she has moved out of her matrimonial home separated and waiting for final divorce decree to be free of him.

Ex-Husband reveals how Amara Blessing Nwosu connived with children to beat him up
Amara-Nwosu-Van-Lere-Marriage

She said she was never herself in her marriage and not as free as when we were together. As my friend I kept the calls to give her emotional support. Thank GOD she has her own money as a lawyer as I asked if she needed financial help being that she has children with her and she said no, just emotional support.
What is all this grammar about?

I just met a young lady and the same ‘marry an older woman bla bla bla ‘have come again to advise me! . I married an older woman with children ‘bla bla bla’ before it did not work. My young babe married a younger man that they were supposed to ‘grow old together’ but that marriage lasted about four years not a life time.

Bottom line who you marry is not by age but by understanding and commitment because if I had married my young babe, we will still be together being deep friends.
I know, I know, I know that question:
‘Why don’t you marry her now since it seems like you both love each other ‘? I will give that reason in my book.

Since his marriage to Amara Blessing Nwosu ended six years ago, Francis Van-Lere has often stated that he is not interested in trying out marriage any longer and instead wants to live his life to the fullest extent that money can afford.

Group Launches Fact-Checking Platform To Counter Fake News 

Lifestyle Nigeria gathered that a group concerned with socioeconomic development in Africa has launched an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered fact-checking platform to counter the spread of misinformation and disinformation on the continent.

Speaking at the unveiling of the AI-powered platform, named, ‘MyAIFactChecker’ on Monday in Ilorin, the Global Director of a Nigeria-based non-profit organization, Brain Builders Youth Development Initiative (BBYDI), Abideen Olasupo, said that FactCheck Africa, an initiative of the BBYDI, was launched in 2022 as an independent, non-partisan and non-profit fact-checking platform for Africans.

“MyAIFactChecker was a product of months of dedicated effort and research, with support from BECERA and the US State Department, noting that the initiative would revolutionise how Africans verify news and other online information.

“MyAIFactChecker is a demonstration of our organization’s unwavering commitment to combating the scourge of misinformation, disinformation, and fake news, thereby safeguarding the integrity of information. This platform leverages cutting-edge AI technology, is user-friendly, and allows you to verify the authenticity of news, social media posts, and other online content quickly and conveniently.”

Olasupo also said that the innovative platform would provide users with a range of functionalities, including a chatbot interface, feedback mechanism, and voice search capability that is available in English, Swahili, French, Arabic, and several popular local languages in Nigeria.

According to him, the launch of MyAIFactChecker comes at a critical time, as the proliferation of disinformation and harmful content continues to pose significant threats to the integrity of elections, democracy, public health, and stability in African nations.

The BBDYI global director, who said the impact of fake news and disinformation on elections could not be waved, expressed optimism that his organisation’s newly introduced AI fact-checking would help combat the spread of disinformation in African nations preparing to hold elections this year.

“It is worthy to note that 2024 is a year of elections in Africa as about 24 countries on the continent will hold elections this year.

During electioneering periods, there is always a proliferation of fake news, and its attendant consequences could negatively impact the electoral process.

With the launch of MyAIFactChecker, we are poised to curb the spread of misinformation and disinformation before, during, and after elections in these affected countries.

“We believe that access to accurate information is a fundamental right, and we are dedicated to empowering individuals with the tools to discern truth from falsehood in this digital age. We will continue to promote media literacy and critical thinking across Africa,” he said.

Olasupo, who said that he attended the 2024 United Nations ECOSOC Youth Forum held in New York last week, added that he spoke on ‘The ethical use of AI and its implications for education in Africa’, saying that his organisation would continue to push for policies around the ethical use of AI in Nigeria and Africa as a whole to maximise its benefits and mitigate its risks.

He lauded Nigeria’s Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, for spearheading the initiative to deliver a comprehensive Artificial Intelligence Strategy for the country, stressing that such endeavour was crucial in positioning Nigeria to effectively leverage AI for national development.

“In recognition of the immense potential of AI in addressing societal challenges, BBYDI will continue to advocate for policies and ethical frameworks to guide the deployment of AI technologies across Africa. It is imperative that we harness the power of AI for the collective good of our society,” he noted.

Earlier in his address, the Head of Programmes at FactCheck Africa, Habeeb Adisa, said the introduction of the innovative AI solution “represents a significant advancement in our stride to fight the dissemination of fake news that continues to undermine societal trust and cause discord among people.

“Our platform is designed to cater for a diverse linguistic landscape across the continent. Users can simply enter a new query, and our platform will provide them with an assessment of the article’s authenticity. It will also let them know if it’s credible, partially credible, or unreliable.”

He also disclosed that FactCheck Africa had launched a 3-month AI Journalism Fellowship for journalists in West Africa. According to him, the fellowship is a comprehensive training programme that will equip selected journalists with the knowledge, skills, and ethical considerations needed to navigate AI in journalism.

Also speaking, the Executive Director of BBYDI, Nura Jimoh, stated that the unveiling of MyAIFactChecker reinforced the commitment of their organisation to leverage tech solutions and digital tools to address societal challenges.

She recalled that BBYDI last year, in collaboration with Christian Aid, organised the first CivicTech Hackathon in Nigeria to address voter apathy and encourage increased citizens’ participation in the electoral process.

“We also launched evit.ng to track and report violence pre and post-election. We also unveiled conflictreport.org to curb the farmer-herders crisis in the northern part of the country.

“Additionally, we introduced KnowCovid19NG with support from the US Embassy to flatten the curve and provide psychosocial support during the COVID-19 pandemic. Two years before the 2023 general elections, we launched Yvotenaija.org to promote civic education across grassroots communities and on various social media platforms,” Jimoh remarked.

How 17-Year-Old Hacker Stuns EFCC Chairman With Impressive IT Skills 

 

Lifestyle Nigeria gathered that the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ola Olukoyede, narrated an incident where a 17-year-old successfully hacked into his personal computer and bank account while being interrogated at his office in Lagos.

The anti-graft agency chairman made this known in a chat with editors at the EFCC Headquarters, Jabi, Abuja, last Tuesday.

Olukoyede recounted inviting the 17-year-old for questioning at his own office, only to witness the young hacker effortlessly bypass the security measures of his locked computer right before his eyes.

He said, “I brought into my Lagos office a seventeen-year-old boy who is studying History and Anthropology. He is in the 200 level. He is not doing anything science-related. The guy sat in my office in Lagos and demonstrated some things to me on my laptop.

“He asked for my number, I gave him my number and through my number, he got my BVN. He then mentioned the name of my account number to me at the bank. I didn’t tell him anything.”

According to him, the country must take all necessary measures to discourage these young individuals, as their actions could lead to imprisonment or even fatal consequences.

“The problem is, I see crime in that, and I also see opportunities in it. So, if you leave these guys, we don’t make them know that what they are doing is wrong, if you leave them, they will continue to see it as a way of life to make money.”

He mentioned that due to their young ages, the EFCC would administer light sentences to punish youths for the cybercrimes they committed, while also focusing on helping them change their orientation.

“We plead for light sentences so that we can reorientate them and that’s part of what we’re doing. What joy will I derive from sending a 17-year-old boy to jail? You have destroyed his future. You have destroyed his career.

“Sometimes they give them options of fines and all of that conviction, so we bring them in, lecture them and talk to them.”

In a bold demonstration of his skills, the boy confidently informed Olukoyede that he could transfer up to 10 million naira from any account in a single transaction.

He said the 17-year-old boy, when he was done, said, “Look, oga, I can make 10 million now. I will demonstrate it to you. I will move money from your account to mine.

“I said no, don’t do that in my office and he was ready to do that. When he opened my laptop, I didn’t give him the key to my laptop and he had access.

When questioned about his involvement in cybercrime, the boy explained that his parents, who are both farmers, were unable to work on their farm due to security concerns.

“He has two younger ones. One is in JSS2 and the other is in SSS2. He is the one feeding his parents and responsible for the payment of tuition for his younger ones.

“I saw a Bill Gates in that guy.”

Olukoyede, however, assured the boy that he would take responsibility for his schooling if he was able to stop the criminal act.

“I told my family, we are going to do that.

“I spoke to one of my friends who is also ready to help take up the schooling of the SSS 2 guy. So I’m still looking for someone who will take up the one for the JSS 2 sibling.”

This is not the first time the EFCC chairman has revealed the anti-graft agency’s plan to rehabilitate convicted internet fraudsters with reduced sentences.

Addressing a delegation of the National Association of University Students in March 2024, he said “when you think deeply, that tag ‘ex-convict’ is not a good thing. You can never tell where you will find yourself tomorrow, and they will want to profile you and discover that you are an ex-convict.”

“So, it is even in the interest of the youth that the EFCC is doing what it is doing to prevent them from indulging in the heinous act of cybercrime.”
