NOLLYWOOD ACTRESS, STELLA REVEALS WHY THEY CHANGED THEIR FAMILY NAME FROM OJUKWU TO DAMASUS

“I'm from Delta State. I was born into a Christian family of five girls and a boy. I lost my brother in 1991 to asthma. I lived with my parents until I came to Lagos after my secondary school.

 

I was living with my sister, got into music and that was when I went to Klink Studio, joined a band and started performing live. My daddy is a fantastic man. He is Chief SKC Damasus. He was a banker all his life

During the war he was a soldier and after the war he became a banker. My mum is a banker as well. I was brought up in a home of bankers.

 Everything was by the book. You go to school, come back, study, receive guests and the likes. Again, because I had older sisters things were easier. Growing up was fun

My family name was changed from Ojukwu to Damasus during the Nigeria/Biafra civil war because we were being mistaken to be related to a warlord.

I was told that my family name used to be Ojukwu but during the civil war there was confusion because a lot of my family members were mistaken to be related to one war lord

They were burning a lot of houses in my village so my father and his brother decided to adopt my grandfather's first name. It was a Greek name which was Damasus, my grandfather's name was Damasus Ojukwu. 

So I was born into Damasus not Ojukwu and the only thing I know about the civil war are the stories my parents told me.” - Stella Damasus

Kim Kardashian's Kid Sister, Kylie and Mum Fighting Dirty Over Hair Extensions Deal (Must Read)

Kendall Jenner fired Kris Jenner as her manager, thus becoming the first of Kardashian-Jenner siblings to sever business ties with her mother.

Now, it seems younger sister Kylie may have been inspired by Kendall's bold move, as sources say she's butting heads with Kris over a lucrative business deal.

Kylie 's line of hair extensions hit stores this week, and the 17-year-old reality star stands to cash in big time. The problem is, her domineering momager wants to continue to control Kylie's finances until she's 18.
"Kylie has been fighting non-stop with Kris over the money generated from this," a source tells Radar Online.
"[The extensions] are selling extremely well and Kylie feels she should have complete access to the money because its hers and she deserves it."

Obviously, Kylie has access to vast sums of money as a result of her family's considerable wealth, but the insider says Kylie is interested in earning - and pocketing - her own cash.


The hair extensions are selling out in stores at the prise $250 a box, and Kylie is reportedly sick of being the only member of the family without her own revenue stream. (Heck, even Rob has his designer socks.)

I killed my master because I needed N150,000 for Dubai trip – motor boy

A look at 32 year-old Sani Saidu , will never pass him for a betrayer, let alone a killer , owing to his quiet disposition and soft way of speaking. But his disposition has only proved to be deceptive after all , as he is currently cooling his heels at the Lagos State Criminal Investigations Department ,SCID, Yaba , Lagos, over a case of alleged murder.

 

According to Vanguard, the Gombe state born suspect allegedly stabbed one Mr Shittu Aremu, driver of a truck to death while accompanying him to Port Harcourt, Rivers state, destination of the 40,000 litre of petroleum product .

The late Aremu whose age was put around 56 years, was a driver to S.K Transport Service Nigeria Limited . He reportedly loaded the truck with plate number AGL 368 XA with aviation fuel worth N5.5 million and consequently left Lagos for Port Harcourt on November 13, 2014, to discharge
the product.

But before leaving Lagos State, he was said to have invited Saidu to work with him as his motor boy, with a promise to pay him an undisclosed amount at the end of the trip. But little did he realize that the invitation would end his life.

The first sign that signalled an unpalatable situation for the truck driver, followed difficulty by his employee to reach him on his mobile phone, two days after he embarked on the journey.

Further checks from the tracking device on the truck reportedly showed that the truck had been diverted from its original route to somewhere around Mutum Biu, in Taraba state.

Suspecting that the driver had a sinister motive up his sleeve ,the company reportedly lodged a complaint at the State Criminal Investigation Department SCID, Yaba, where detectives swung into action by travelling to Taraba state. Fortunately for them, the truck was recovered at the Taraba state Police Command, with only Saidu, the motorboy.

 

I stabbed him, threw him out of the truck

Preliminary investigation as gathered , revealed that Saidu allegedly murdered the truck driver before diverting the truck to the northern part of the country.

In this interview, Saidu gave a graphic description of how he stabbed his master with a knife and threw him out of the truck , before taking over the steering..

Asked what made him carry out such dastardly act, Saidu replied : “ I killed Mr Aremu because I wanted to sell the aviation fuel and use the money to travel to Dubai on a business trip”

Narrating how he snuffed life out of Aremu whom he fondly called baba Oyo, , Saidu said: “ A day after we left Lagos, at about 6pm, the company called baba Oyo and instructed him to park at Umunede, Delta state for security reason and that he should proceed on the journey the following day.

While there , I bought a knife without him knowing and tied it with a rope on my leg. Very early the third day, baba Oyo started the ignition to continue the journey. As he was about to move, I told him that one of the tyres had developed a fault. I came out of the vehicle and pretended to be checking the tyres. I went to his side of the truck, bent down as if checking the tyres and in the process, I brought out my knife. But as I raised my hand to stab him, he held my hand and we started struggling, in the process of which the knife cut me on the index finger. I succeeded in stabbing him first on the lap and blood started gushing out. Again, I stabbed him again in the stomach, leaving the knife in there. By then he was too weak to shout.

Thereafter, I pushed him out of the vehicle and mounted the driver’s seat and zoomed off.

Diverts truck to the north

My intention was to take the aviation fuel to Taraba state and sell it at the black market. When I got to Adamawa state, I sold four drums , at the rate of N28,000 per drum. On reaching Katsina Ala, the truck developed a fault and I ended up spending N57,000 to fix it. I continued the journey but on reaching Mutum Biu, I was stopped by some soldiers who were on a joint operation with the Police, at a check point. They demanded for the way bill and I showed them.

But one of the policemen asked where the plate number was and I brought it out from where I kept it. I had earlier removed it because the company’s number was inscribed on it. When the policemen dialled the telephone number, they discovered that the vehicle was supposed to be heading for Port Harcourt. When they asked what it was doing at Taraba, I could not provide a ready answer and I was subsequently apprehended” I wanted to raise 150,000

 

The father of five whose family resides in Adamawa state further disclosed that “ I did what I did in order to raise N150,000 for a ticket to Dubai. A friend of mine who lives in Kano usually travels to Dubai to buy handsets and sell in Kano. He told me he would take me down if I could raise N150,000. That was why I did what I did. But with the look of things, it is obvious that I am in a big trouble and may never come out of from it for the rest of my life”, he stated remorsefully.

Information at Crime Guard’s disposal revealed that operatives at the SCID would be leaving Lagos for Umunede in Delta state, to inspect the spot where the suspect claimed to have thrown Aremu’s body, with a view to ascertaining whether he is alive or not.

Police sources however hinted that the driver’s seat of the recovered truck was stained with blood, adding that at the end of investigation, the suspect would be charged to court for murder and stealing.

Tragedy: Why A Boy Murders His Mother And 2 Sisters In Zamfara State

Kamalu, a school drop­out, whose relations recalled had consistently threatened to kill his mother if she failed to give him money finally carried out his threat.

According Sunday Sun, the day infamy happened a day before May 29, 2013. While other patriotic citizens were preparing to mark Democracy Day, generally rejoicing and thanking God for the survival of the current dispensation of civil rule, Kamalu and his cohort were also perfecting plans on how to commit the triple murders.
It is still not yet revealed the exact time of the day when the satanic team of assassins struck and snuffed out life from the trio of mother and her two daughters. However, what is known is that a good citizen informed the police at 8.30 on May 29 that a dead body was seen floating on the water at Bager dam, from which the State Water Board sources water treated and supplied to the metropolis.
The police quickly moved and recovered the corpse, which was taken to the Federal Medical Centre Gusau for autopsy. The postmortem examination of the corpse showed that there were deep cuts and injuries all over it. This discovery led the police to suspect foul play, and listed it as a case of SUD (sudden unnatural death).
Meanwhile, relations of the late Hajia who were disturbed by her sudden disappearance trooped to the police station on May 30, 2013 at midday, to file a report that she was missing, and had not been seen for 48 hours. They told the police that all ef­forts made to contact her on the phone were unsuccessful because her phone was not reachable.
After receiving the report, the police took the relations to the FMC mortuary, where they immediately identified the corpse shown to them as the late Hajia Aisha, their missing sister.
Based on this positive identi­fication of the corpse, policemen led by the Divisional Police Of­ficer (DPO) drove to the home of the diceased and found the place locked up. They forced the door open and were confronted by the shocking sight of blood stains all over the house. Meanwhile, the place had been ransacked by the perpetrators of the crime, who probably removed money and other valuable items.
The relations informed the police that the personal car of the late Hajiya Aisha was not in the compound, but curiously her son’s car was parked within the premises. When the police searched the car, they found blood-stained pillow cases and bed-sheets in the boot of the car. They took the items away as ex­hibits. Attention then shifted to what must have happened to the two young daughters, who were also living with their mother. The police promptly suspected that the assailants must have killed them too and probably dumped their bodies where the body of their mother was discovered.
The police team headed straight to the riverside to search for the corpses of the little girls. Fortunately, the two corpses were recovered. One had cuts all over the body, but the other one had its throat slashed through with a knife.
Suspicion immediately fell upon on Kamalu, a school drop­out, who relations recalled had consistently threatened to kill his mother if she failed to give him money.
Through diligent detective work, the police tracked him down in Kaduna town where he had driven the mother’s car. Some valuable items and cash belonging to the deceased were also recovered from him.
During interrogation, Kamalu owned up to the crime, and said that he masterminded the brutal and gruesome slaying of his bi­ological mother and two sisters. He also revealed the names of four of his accomplices. Two of them were instantly arrested by the police, but two escaped and have remained at large.
The Zamfara State Police Command said through the public relations officer that it would remain on the trail of the two fugitives, assuring that it would not be long before they are arrested to face the full wrath of the law.

Enjoy learning about weird things men find attractive in women and don’t forget to share your thoughts after reading through.

1. Seeing her undone

While most men appreciate when women make the effort to look gorgeous through doing the makeup, dressing nice or fixing the hair, they find it attractive if they see her a mess as well. A lot of guys tell that this helps them know a woman better. They get to see her behind the nice clothes and makeup up.

2. Her accent

Almost every woman is embarrassed by her accent. I didn’t like my accent but I’ve learned to embrace it over the few years. The great news is that men like a woman’s accent and find it really attractive. No matter if you have an accent from the inner city or the south, it can be attractive to your man. I’m sure your accent is nice to listen to, so make sure you embrace it.

3. Seeing her afraid

Another weird thing men find attractive in a woman is fear. I thought it was terrible when I first read about it. A man wanted his woman to be afraid? This was the first question that had crossed my mind. However, then I realized why men find fear attractive. The thing is, a man doesn’t want to wish deep fear on a woman but when he sees her a bit scared, it gives him the chance to comfort her and show he is a real man.

4. Stretch marks

If you’ve had children by your man, you don’t have to worry about stretch marks. Although most women are not happy about stretch marks, most men, including your partner, love them. Stretch marks remind your man of the fact you carried his child. Trust me, he really appreciates it.

5. Camo

Some guys find camo attractive on girls because it means she could be his best hunting buddy. But it doesn’t mean that you should wear camo every single day. Even though men find camo attractive on a woman, they still love cute dresses and nice skirt. Feminity is still important.

6. Glasses

Guys love to see girls in glasses and it’s true. My sweetheart has always told me that he liked to see me in glasses and my sister’s partner feels the same way. If men find a woman that wears glasses attractive, why not throw away those contact lenses? I think this is wonderful news for girls who wear glasses every day.

7. Watching her apply makeup

Did you know your guy likes watching you apply your makeup? It amazes him how precisely you can do this. Guys also seem to be astonished that every girl has her own style with the makeup. So, ladies, feel free to check your makeup in front of your man.

8. Her towel head

One of the strangest things that most men find extremely attractive in his woman is when she washes her hair. They say that a wet hair look, especially if the hair is long, and the towel head is turn on for them. Well, it’s weird, but who knows maybe your sweetheart also loves your towel head.

9. When she works out

Men love it when a woman works out. That tired look and the sweaty feeling attract most men instantly. Perhaps you don’t find it attractive, but your man won’t want to miss this look. So don’t be afraid to work out in front of your partner. The best option is to work out together.

10. In his shirt

The weird thing that men find attractive in a woman is when she’s dressed untidily in his favorite shirt. To most men, it’s a really designer look. From personal experience I can say that my man loves when I wear hist shirts.

Most of these things were astonishing to me, and what about you, ladies? Do you know any other strange things men find attractive in a woman? Please share your thoughts with us in the comments section.
