Photos: You should see some of the tactics used by people in attempt to smuggle illegal items into Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia custom officials posted some of the various illegal items people have attempted to smuggle into the country. One of the most popular items uncovered by officials is alcohol which is completely banned in Saudi Arabia. More photos after the cut...



As seen in the photos, some people have hid bottles of whiskey in the crevices of their cars in the hope that the normal-looking exterior is enough to mask what lies beneath. In the first six days of January alone, almost 535,000 Captagon pills were found during a number of different searches by Saudi customs officers: 414,000 pills were found in truck tires; 100,000 were concealed in wooden pallets; and another 10,000 were found in the lining of a man’s underwear.



Smugglers have even used camels to try and get their contraband into the country, with Saudi officials discovering a camel with 115,000 narcotic pills on its back.



In an attempt to sneak 48,000 cans of Heineken into the country, a smuggler wrapped each can in the Pepsi logo. More photos...

7 Easy Ways To Know A Nigerian Girl Loves Your Money Not You

Its OK for a girl to demand that her man takes care of her financial needs, however, that shouldn’t be the only reason she’s in the relationship. Sadly this is not the case these days. Most Nigerian girls simply want to turn their man into a personal ATM and as soon as it looks like the ATM can no longer dispense enough cash to satisfy their financial desires, they jump on the next machine. With this trend spreading like wide fire among Nigerian girls, a lot of Nigerian men are now very skeptical of every girl they meet. While some men are able to easily spot these type of women, others just can’t. So to help the other group who can’t. Here are seven ways to know a nigerian girl who loves your money and not you:


1, SHE ONLY CALLS FOR MONEY OR A  FAVOUR
 She never calls to find out how you are doing and never asks how your day was. Instead, each time she calls, is when she wants money from you or she want you to do something for her that requires money and the next time she calls is when she needs money again from you.

2 SHE WANTS TO KNOW THE SIZE OF YOUR POCKET
When she is interested in knowing about your career and financial status at the beginning not because she cares but because she only wants to know your occupation so she can discover your job title, measure your earnings’ potential and ensure that you have plenty of income to spend on her and support her lifestyle.

3.OUTBURST OF RAGE WHENEVER YOU DONT GIVE HER
When she quickly throws tantrum when things don’t go her way. For instance, when you refuse to buy something for her or give her more money. Then you know, she’s only with you for the money.

4. HER RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU IS ONE SIDED
When your relationship with her is one-sided. She expects you to do all the gift buying, pay for nice places and all other nice things that cost money, congratulations because you just found yourself a leech, whose clinch from your finance will require surgery.

5. SHE'S NEVER PRUDENT
Everybody likes to go to nice places and and get nice things, but if she suggests that you go to expensive restaurants all the time and doesn’t care where and how you get the money to finance the outing, well she only needs your money and not you.

6.SHE'S MATERIALISTIC
If all she ever wants is for you to always buy her expensive presents at all occasions and you find out  that you are the one who is constantly shelling out money in the relationship for presents while she never ever reciprocates in her own little way, that should be your sign that she’s just using you.

7.MONEY IS HER WATCH WORD, SHE'S ALWAYS BROKE
When the only story she has for you when you guys talk is that she needs money for one thing or another. The story only changes slightly everytime but the bottom-line is for you to give her money money money all the time, then she only needs you for the money.

IMPOSITION OF N50 STAMP DUTY ON BANK CUSTOMERS FOR MONEY RECIEVED INTO THEIR ACCOUNT

The Federal Government has imposed a stamp duty of N50 on bank customers for money received into their accounts. This implies that every bank customer will henceforth pay N50 stamp duty for money received into their accounts through electronic transfer, cash and cheques.

The circular in part reads
“As part of efforts to boost its revenue base, the federal government of Nigeria is exploring revenue opportunities in the non-oil sectors especially taxes and rates. It is in recognition of this fact that banks and other financial institutions are enjoined to support government’s revenue drive through compliance with the provisions of the Stamp Duties Act, LFN 2004 as reinforced by the court judgement in Suit No FHC/L/CS/1710/2013.
In this regard, the CBN pursuant to the provisions of its enabling laws, hereby issues this circular to all DMBs other financial institutions: With immediate effect, all DMBs and other financial institutions shall commence the charging of N50 per eligible transaction in accordance with the provisions of the Stamp Duties Act and Federal Government Financial Regulations 2009, that is, all receipts given by any bank or other financial institution in acknowledgment of services rendered in respect of electronic transfer and teller deposits from N1, 000 and above; For all avoidance of doubt the following receipts are however exempted from imposition of stamp duties: payments of deposits or transfer by self to self whether inter or intra bank; and any form of withdrawals/transfers from saving accounts; It should be noted that these charges are only payable by receiving accounts; Each DMB shall open an account designated as NIPOST Stamp Duties Account into which all charges collected shall be paid. The balances in such accounts shall be transferred monthly by the DMBs to CBN NIPOST Stamp Duty Collection Account No. 3000047517; Other financial institutions shall remit their Stamp Duty collections to any DMB of their choice”.

Cleric:

“I heard the voice clearly, but I don’t know what happened after we set fire on her. God has been speaking to me since and it has been working, so I wonder why now.”

Victim:

“Our prophet said the spirit of God whispered to him that I would not burn if he sets me on fire. When I came out, they poured kerosene on my body and set me ablaze. But, unfortunately, I was burnt beyond recognition and before the other church members could get water, the deed had already been done.”

Member:

“I believe it’s the sins of the victim that made her burn, the prophet of God could not have lied.”

Richard Mofe Damijo Reveals How Much He’s Paid To Feature In A Movie

Veteran Nollywood actor, Richard Mofe Damijo aka RMD, is definitely one of Nollywood’s biggest actors.

 RMD recently revealed during a broadcast interview with Africa Magic’s magazine TV show ‘Jara’, on how much movie producers pay him to feature in a movie.
“It’s safe to say you’re definitely one of the most sought after and respected actors in Nollywood, it most cost a producer millions of dollars to have you in his movie”, The host of the show Uti Nwachukwu asked RMD.
RMD replied saying: “I don’t know what you are talking about, I mean we are in Nigeria”.
I find ironical that I cost a lot less either because I’m blackmailed constantly by producers and directors. They’re my boys or their younger, no money. You’ll be amazed that for every three films, I’ll probably do two free, practically for next to nothing. It’s just hard to say no”.
