“I don’t have time for any other woman right now” – Comic actor Bishop Imeh

Comic actor, Ime ‘Bishop’ Umoh, popularly known as Okon Lagos shared his marital experiences with Encomium recently.

Here’s an excerpt;

What was the attraction to your wife, Idara?

What kind of attraction, physical, emotional or spiritual.

All of the above…

She is like a gold fish which has no hiding place. I spotted her at a wedding.

At what point did you know she was your wife?

I can’t say I knew she would be my wife the first day we met.  We interacted a little. At a point, I just got to know she is reasonable, real, homely, God-fearing and above all, she is not perfect.  And she knows I’m not either.  I saw the prospect of her tolerating me. Later, I just decided to ask the big question, ‘will you marry me?’

Internet Scam: How Nigerian-born couple Helped To Steal £19 million in UK [PHOTO]

A young British couple were part of a global internet banking scam which could have netted a phenomenal £19million after hacking the accounts of nearly 2,500 people.

Aderoju Bammeke, 22, and his girlfriend Jessica Ogunyemi, 20, both of Manchester, were the UK 'platform' for a Nigerian 'phishing' scam that made £41,000 in just two months.

The plot, masterminded by a gang in the West African country, involved sending fake emails to customers of banks including Barclays and Halifax.

The emails told recipients that their accounts had been hacked and asked them to complete a form with their log-in details.

But when victims obliged, Bammeke stepped in and helped the gang log in to steal money.

Fashion marketing student Ogunyemi, his girlfriend at the time, helped him launder the proceeds by putting funds in accounts, hiding cash and allowing him to buy her a £2,400 Vauxhall Corsa.
