What is the world turning to?

Who is wondering what is happening in the world we live in? What is happening to mankind? So much evil going on in the world. So much pain caused by humans on their fellow humans. I question whether some human beings find pleasure in causing inexplicable harm to their fellow human beings. From the happenings in Ukrian to those in Africa (Egypt, Nigeria, Kenya). I am weary to read the papers or just listen to the news because it is just filled with evil report. It is so heartbreaking to see and hear so much evil happening in the world we live in.

Ghanaians ask for asylum in Brazil

Ghana is one of the most stable and growing economies in Africa. Yet, there are some who think the grass is greener elsewhere. 

Brazilian federal police say that some 200 Ghanaians have requested asylum after entering the country on tourist visas to watch the World Cup.
The Ghanaians say they are Muslims fleeing inter-religious conflicts in their home country.
They have filed their applications in the southern city of Caxias do Sul, in one of Brazil's most prosperous areas.
Another 1,000 Ghanaians are expected to request refugee status once the tournament is over, police said.
The Brazilian authorities believe many of the Ghanaians are looking for the right to work legally in the country.

Unmasked: Champagne-loving conman who made £2m tricking elderly with bogus lottery.

 Frank Onyeachonam


His property in Lagos



Frank Onyeachonam targeted elderly victims to pay for his love of the high life – lavishing his illegal earnings on fast cars, designer clothes and luxury watches.

He won his nickname because of his taste for champagne, insisting on drinking a brand named Ace Of Spades as he mingled in exclusive members’ clubs.

But his crimes left behind a string of desperate victims, stripped of their savings, mentally wrecked and often estranged from their families.  

Onyeachonam, suspected of being the British frontman of an international gang, defrauded dozens of victims of at least £2million but maybe as much as £30million.

He tricked them into thinking they had won the Australian lottery but had to pay him to ‘unlock their winnings’.

His dupes ended up giving him between £2,000 and £600,000 apiece, despite never having bought any Australian lottery tickets.

One 69-year-old victim, from Crawley, West Sussex, was left with debts of £90,000.
Onyeachonam, 38, bragged online about his wealth – spelling out his name in bank notes in a Facebook photo.

As well as buying designer outfits and stocking his fridge with £500 bottles of champagne, he bought two homes in his native Nigeria. When police raided his Canary Wharf flat in London, they found notes describing victims as ‘old’, ‘poor’ and ‘cripple’, the Old Bailey heard.
Two co-defendants – Lawrencia Emenyonu, 51, and Bernard Armah, 38 – were jailed for 18 months and eight months respectively.
