I really like using Messengers to make new contacts. Unfortunately this is also the case for the “Africans”.
Just a few minutes ago Larry Adama signed off from Yahoo Messenger in a hurry. Could it be he got nervous? I must admit it did seem to take some time for him to realise that I knew what he was trying to convince me of. As the Brit’s say “He seems to be a bit thick”. Read it and see for yourself:

How true! The only problem being that Bello (Is that hie first name?) is one of the unjust. At last count this is the third e-mail refering to the death of Stella Obasanjo.
As you can see any sort of tragedy or personal loss is a basis for a scam story.
——– Original Message ——– Subject: FROM MR BELLO MOMOH, (24-Nov-2005 10:35) From: alesandro2000@msn.com To: xxx@xxx.xxx
Dear I am Bello Momoh, it is true that we have never meet each other before and I believe that this name sounds strange to you, do not see this letter as a junk or one of the Internet scam mails because everything I am going to tell you here has prove and evidence and we believe that only time will vindicate the just. I don’t know how familiar you are with the recent events that befall the president of Nigeria Chief Olusegun Obasanjo.
I am personal financial secretary to late first lady of federal republic of Nigeria late Mrs. Stella Obasanjo who died in Spanish hospital on early hour of 22nd of Oct 2005, Please to read more about the un-sudden death of late Mrs. Stella, please visit: www.thisdayonline.com or www.vanguardngr.com
I am writing this letter in confidence that we should have a mutual understanding on this news I am going to pass across to you, On several occasion I traveled out side the country with the late first lady, we normally move a huge amount of money of the country through her diplomatic immunity coverage as the first lady, our luggage’s are not been search by any law enforcement agency at the airport, our last trip to Spain on 21st Oct, 2005, we travel with a sum of $15million united states dollars which she intended to invest in Spain because we normally travel to Spain for her body surgery.
Right now, I am writing you, I am in position of this fund and only me knows everything about this fund and it’s arrangement, our arrangement is that the luggage contained the mention money will be deposited to a security company in Spain and after her medication, that is on Tuesday, she will make arrangement to meet some people for the investment purposes, I took the consignment to the security company and deposit it with my name and on Sunday morning, the doctor called me and said that she is dead, I can’t believe it, I have to call the president and pass the information to him.
Now, nobody knows anything about this money, and I want to now present you as the beneficiary of the consignment so that we will meet in Spain, as I do not want anybody to have a trace on this consignment, I have the deposit certificate and shipment airway bill of the consignment with me now, Please, I consider this as an opportunity for me to make my fortune but this is not something I will do alone to avoid suspicious since the management of the company knows nothing about it, Please I am in Nigeria now, if you are interested to assist me, kindly send to me now your private phone number and address so that I will call you for further discussion, This is highly confidential. I believe you will not expose this information to anybody.
Mr. Bello Momoh *******************************************************
PLEASE READ THE BIOGRAPHY. The Woman, The First Lady >From Josephine Lohor in Abuja and Tokunbo Adedoja in Lagos, 10.23.2005 Death has struck again in the land–this time in the highest seat of power claiming the First Lady, Mrs Stella Obasanjo.
The news of her death in a Spanish hospital was broken to the nation yesterday morning, while the fate of 114 passengers and crew of an Abuja bound plane which disappeared shortly after take-off was still unknown. Stella’s death, which was not preceded by even the slightest sign of a failing health, came as a rude shock to the nation.
Last weekend, she was at the wedding reception of the daughter of the Special Adviser to the President on National Assembly Matters, Senator Florence Ita-Giwa, where she did not only look hale and healthy, but also danced to the melodious music played at the event. And Thursday last week, Ogun State Governor Gbenga Daniel decorated her as the patroness of the Gateway 2006. That became her last public outing.
Stella, who would have been 60 next month, was born in Warri, Delta State, on November 14, 1945 and is the first of seven children born to the distinguished industrialist and administrator, Dr. Christopher Abebe and his wife, Theresa. Her father is the first indigenous chairman of United African Company Plc.
She attended Our Lady of Apostles Primary School, Yaba, Lagos, from 1955 to 1959. In 1960, she enrolled into St. Theresa’s College, Ibadan, and passed the West African School Certificate in 1964 and completed her Higher School Certificate (HSC) in 1966, also in the same school.
She proceeded to the University of Ife now Obafemi Awolowo University, where she read English from 1967 to 1969, but she dropped out of the university to pursue a course in Insurance Studies in the United Kingdom between 1970 to 1974 and also trained as a Confidential Secretary at Pitman’s College, London, in 1976. That year, she married Obasanjo, then a serving general.
Though, gone to the celestial realm, Stella already has a place on the pages of Nigerian history. Since May 29, 1999 when Obasanjo was sworn-in as civilian President, Stella registered her presence on the nation’s social and political landscape.
But even long before then, she had made her way into the hearts of several Nigerians following the solid support she gave to her husband during the fathom coup saga of the late General Sani Abacha era. Her presence at various local and international workshops and symposia at that period, although the Abacha regime frowned at such gatherings, kept the fire of the agitation for the release of her husband burning.
Also during the Jos convention where Obasanjo secured the nomination of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as flag-bearer for the 1999 presidential election and the party’s 2003 presidential primaries, Stella showed her support in a special way. She sat beside her husband throughout the night until the results of the votes were announced in his favour.
In 1999, many had thought she would stay in the background based on Obasanjo’s remarks on the role he envisaged for her. Reacting to journalists question on what role Stella would play under his Presidency shortly after he was elected, Obasanjo simply said “she will be my wife.” His remarks were further confirmed by Stella, who, while responding to a question on what role she would play during her husband’s tenure said “the president has said I am going to be his wife. That is what I am going to be. “ But all that changed barely three months into the President’s first tenure. Stella unveiled her plan to launch a pet project tagged: The Child Care Trust, a private, non- profit, non-governmental organisation and a vehicle through which she sought to address the needs of the underprivileged and challenged children in Nigeria. The project was founded on the premise that when the necessary care and support are given to disabled children, such lifeline could guarantee for them a happy and productive adult life.
The project, situated in Bwari, on the outskirts of Abuja with facilities for classrooms, pre-school and day care services for working mothers, also offers vocational training schemes for children and women from less privileged backgrounds. A specialist clinic that provides primary health care services to children and women is also part of the complex that offers occupational and speech therapy and physiotherapy.
As a strong advocate of issues of women empowerment, both in the economic and political spheres, it is on record that she saw to the remarkable growth of the number of women in elective and appointive positions in Nigeria, just as she encouraged wives of state governors to develop and run people-centred projects in their respective states.
Also to her credit, many wives of state governors took up this challenge and are vigorously running viable and self-sustaining programmes and schemes that address the needs of the less-privileged in the society.
Within the last six years, Stella traversed the length and breadth of the country, using every opportunity to challenge women and women organisations to rise above their social, economic and political circumstances and to aim to reach for the skies.
Stella, like her predecessors brought glamour to the office of the first lady and was graceful in her carriage throughout the six and half years she occupied the office. It is also on record that Stella played a key role in the fund-raising programme for the completion of the ecumenical centre in Abuja. She led wives of other top government officials as ushers at the fund-raising event.
Her name, in the last few years, was also enmeshed in several controversies. Each time the successes of the administration of President Obasanjo were highlighted, critics would counter such claims with allegations of corruption within the President’s household.
In fact, in her last few months, she was a subject of negative media reports bordering on the business and financial transactions of her siblings and son. First was the N38 billion COJA scandal out of which media reports alleged she got a N6 billion furnishing contract. After TheNews magazine published a damning report on her alleged role in the scandal, Stella, who denied the allegation, immediately headed for the court and slammed a N1billion libel suit on the medium.
Her name also featured prominently in the botched sale of federal government properties in Lagos by the then Minister of Housing, Mrs Mobolaji Osomo. It was President Obasanjo, while canceling the sales carried out by the former Minister without due process that announced to the nation that he was embarrassed that names of eight of his wife’s family members appeared on the list of those who got allocation.
Also a couple of weeks ago, she was in the news again over allegations that her US-based son, Olumuyiwa, bought a multi-million naira house in America. For several days, her aides and siblings battled to rationalise her son’s property investment.
In terms of honours and awards, the late first lady received various service and honours awards, both at home and abroad. Some of her chieftaincy titles are Yeye Oge of Oke–Ona Egba, Abeokuta, 1992; Iya Meso of Egbaland, Abeokuta, 1992; Yeye ‘Luwa (Iya Oba) of Orile–Owu, Ogun State 1993; Yeye Tuluse of Owu–Isin, Kwara, State 1995; Oga Nla Obirin Owu, Abeokuta, 1996; Enyi of Asaba, 2000; Yeye Oranmiyan of Ile Ife, 2001; Obong An wan of Ke Efik Eburutu, 2001; Nne Diora Mma of Asaba, 2002; Ada Abia, 2002; Nne”Oghai of (sial Nwga South Local Government Area of Abia State, 2002; Maigirma Langtang; Mama Bezhe of Bwari, 2002; and Ibinoze 1 of Afenesanland, 2002.
A few of her service awards include Africa Achievement Award, Los Angeles, USA, 2000; Global Safe Motherhood Award, White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood, 2001; I Honourary Fellowship of the West African College of Nursing, The West African College of Nursing Liberia, 2001; International Recognition Award on women and AIDS’. The Rainbow/PUSH Coalition and Citizens Education Foundation, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A, 2000. United Arab Emirates Foundation Prize for 2004; and Executive Board of World Health Organisation/UAE Ministry of Health, 2004.
In addition to her numerous titles and Awards, Stella was also matron and chair to a host of civic and professional organisations, including: Grand Matron of Fashion Designers Association of Nigeria; Grand Matron of the National Grassroots Associations of Nigeria; Nigeria Tourism Ambassador; Grand Matron of the Better Life Programme for African Women. Chair of Council of Women Peace Envoys (CWPE), National Grand Patron of the Girls Brigade, Nigeria, and Grand Patron, National Council of Women’s Societies, Nigeria.
Certainly, when the history of the nation’s first ladies would be told, Stella will have her own chapter. No doubt, she was as a glamorous first lady, whose pet project gave hope to the disadvantaged and disabled children across the land.

Mysteries has gone in my life. In the western part of Africa is where I meet a hell in my life. 29th September 2003 later in the night the murders come without a pity without a mercy they kill my father in front of me.
My father was a wealthy cocoa merchant.The trouble began early last year when my father’s associates started suspecting that my father is not giving proper accounts of all the tons of cocoa being cultivated by local farmers in some villages. This mistrust deepens between Jul-Aug 2001 when they discovered a very big some of money my father deposited with a security company here in ABIDJAN-COTE D’IVOIRE. As a result of this discovery and the enviness of the money ,he was killed by his associates.Before this, he revealed to me the reasons of his being hatred.He directed me where to get the documents of the said deposit, he told me that he enrolled my name as his next of kin for the deposit, being the only child. He advised me that I should not stay in the country because his enemies might equally kill me to reap all his wealth hence my mother died five years ago of cancer. He instructed me that if he dies, that I should look for a foreign partner who will help me to transfer the money into the person’s account and the person will help me to invest the money in his or her country. My father finally died on 29th of September and since then I was out of school and went into hiding because of my father’s associates. All the relevant documents of the $10 million (ten dollars) that was deposited in a security company are intact with me now.
My name is SONIA CISSE am 21yrs old girl and a student. Please I would like you to assist me as urgent as you can before they kill me.I agreed to give you 10% of this money ,if you can help me bring out this box from the security company and transfer this money into your account for onward investment in your country.

Dear beloved,
My name is Alli Waheed, A Bahrain national,I have been diagnosed with Oesophageal cancer .It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone(not even myself)but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come tothis world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family Members as well as a few close friends .I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have Distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, Somalia and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they refused and kept the money to themselves.
Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them. The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of Three Million five Hundred Dollars($3.5m) that I have with a finance House abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and despatch it to charity organizations.
N/B:KINDLY NOTE THAT 20% of this funds must go to the tsunami victims and another 10% for your effort and time. I also have my pictures to show to you how bad my condition is presently. Please if you are interested contact me immediately for further details. PLEASE RESPOND TO MY PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS:alliwaheed1@sify.com
God bless,
Alli Waheed

——– Original Message ——– Subject: TOP OF THE DAY TO YOU (21-Nov-2005 9:58) From: suhafamilyswill@hotmail.com To: xxx@xxx.xxx
Dear Friend, I am Mrs. SUHA ARAFAT, the wife of YASSER ARAFAT, the Palestinian leader who died recently in Paris. Since his death and even prior to the announcement, I have been thrown into a state of antagonism, confusion, humiliation,frustration and hopelessness by the present leadership of the Palestinian Liberation Organization and the new Prime Minister. I have even been subjected to physical and psychological torture. As a widow that is so traumatized, I have lost confidence with everybody in the country at the moment. You must have heard over the media reports and the Internet on the discovery of some fund in my husband secret bank account and companies and the allegations of some huge sums of money deposited by my husband in my name of which I have refuses to disclose or give up to the corrupt Palestine Government. In fact the total sum allegedly discovered by the Government so far is in the tune of about $6.5 Billion Dollars. And they are not relenting on their effort to make me poor for life. As you know, the Moslem community has no regards for woman, more importantly when the woman is from a christian background, hence my desire for a foreign assistance. I have deposited the sum of 21 million dollars with a Financial firm in Europe whose name is withheld for now until we open communication. I shall be grateful if you could receive this fund into your bank account for safe keeping and any Investment opportunity. This arrangement will be known to you and I alone and all our correspondence should be strictly on email alone because our government has tapped all my lines and are monitoring all my moves. In view of the above, if you are willing to assist for our mutual benefits, we will have to negotiate on your Percentage share of the $21,000,000 that will be kept in your position for a while and invested in your name for my trust pending when my Daughter, Zahwa, will come off age and take full responsibility of her Family Estate/inheritance. Please note that this is a golden opportunity that comes once in life time and more so, if you are honest, I am going to entrust more funds in your care as this is one of the legacy we keep for our children.
In case you don’t accept please do not let me out to the security and international media as I am giving you this information in total trust and confidence I will greatly appreciate if you accept my proposal in good faith. Please expedite action. Yours sincerely, Suha Arafat
