DISAPPOINTED: Robbers Attack Bank Van, Snatch Ghana-Must-Go Bags Filled With Papers

The Police in Ondo State say
the bags snatched by a gang of
robbers from an Ecobank van
on Wednesday contained processed bank vouchers and not cash as thought by the robbers.

The robbery, which occurred about 2pm on Wednesday, sent shivers across other banks, whose workers immediately locked their doors against customers fearing possible attacks by the
robbers.

Eyewitnesses had told reporters that the robbers had snatched the bags, popularly called Ghana-must-go , supposedly containing huge sums of money from a customer who had gone to withdraw cash from the bank.

But Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Wole Ogodo, clarified that the bank had officially reported the facts of the matter to the police, saying the robbers actually carted away a bunch of papers.

He said, "On the November 6, 2013 at 1800hrs, Oke Oludare, the Operational Manager of the Ecobank, reported a police station that some hoodlums numbering about three trailed their vehicle and double crossed it at the front of the bank and snatched three Ghana-must-go bags containing processed vouchers thinking it was money and zoomed off."

Ogodo said the robbers were being closely followed and would soon be arrested and brought to book.

Why Actresses Prefer Married Men – Bose Arowosegbe

Another Yoruba actress, just like Lola Alao has given another reason why single ladies should prefer married men. She also gave reasons why she got married to one, and why she initially lied to journalists that her husband was living abroad before now.
Here is what she told Vanguard;

Why are many actresses getting married to married men?

I am married to a married man too. I have not told anyone this before. Other journalists I have met were fed the story that my husband is abroad when he has always been in the country.
Most single men out there are not matured enough to handle the fact that actresses are normal women. They believe we are harlots to be used and dumped. I believe they are too immature to handle the life around us. They are easily affected by things they read and hear about us, and also things they see on screen about us.
But married men are matured to handle all this. They listen to us instead of listening to gist about us. They seem to understand women better. Besides, they are more caring, gentler and wiser.

You just said you are a jealous woman, how then can you share your man with another woman?

Because I knew he was married before I decided to marry him. It was my decision and I knew what I was walking into. Before I made up my mind I knew the price I was to pay and how I have to adapt to that. I have decided to share with the woman inside not any one outside.
