Convicted Nigerian fraudster, Obinwanne Okeke alias Invictus Obi, says it is an insult to compare him with suspected cyber-fraudster, Ramon ”Hushpuppi” Abass, Yahoo News reports.
Invictus, who is currently serving a 10-year sentence in a US prison for $11m fraud, said while he took to fraud in order to empower the less fortunate in Nigeria, Hushpuppi defrauded people in order to show off on social media.
While Invictus has been convicted, Hushpuppi is currently facing criminal charges money laundering.
Responding to a question on his similarity with Hushpuppi, Invictus said, “It’s insulting. Hushpuppi and I are not on the same level. Hushpuppi could never achieve what I achieved. He cannot run a business and we are not similar in any way. He was out to please the crowd, I was out to change lives, create jobs and conquer the business world. I have done so much for my community back home with my charity foundation, which lives has he helped? Nobody.”
When asked if he disliked Hushpuppi, Invictus responded, “No I have never met him, but I just find the continued comparison very annoying. Our impact on the world is very different. I have made a much more positive contribution to society than he has.”
Invictus, who was named on Forbes Africa 30 under 30 in 2016, also went down memory lane, narrating how he became a fraudster.
He said; “I was doing a little here and there but the level changed through this one particular friend I used to look up to. I visited him one day and he was living very comfortably with three new cars and a huge house at a young age. When at his house I noticed him on a website www.vionz.to that was selling crypto and bank logins.
“I asked him about the website and he showed me that he buys bank and crypto logins from there and easily withdraws above $20,000 at a time; that’s how he was funding his lifestyle. In 15 minutes he demonstrated it to me and from there I tried it myself when I got home.
After successfully doing my first transfer so easily, it was hard to stop after that. From there I got introduced to other money making schemes that got me where I am today.”
On what he missed the most about the outside world, Invictus said he missed his family and his business.

Big Brother Naija ”Shine Ya Eye” contestant, Angel has said that White Money is pretentious and not straightforward.

According to her, there is something about White Money that doesn’t really add up.
“Something about White Money just flipped. It’s like I could see clearer and I’m not saying he is a bad person but there’s something off and awkward about him.
“Like I told Queen when she was saying White Money is a trustworthy guy, me I don’t think so because I feel he pretends and he isn’t straightforward.
“My Intuitions are never wrong and lately we have been clashing. We even clashed in the garden on Sunday morning. I like when people are straightforward and he’s not; that’s why he is always deflecting.
“Even when you guys had that altercation and I told him he ought to put you in your place and he’s like no he understands Pere.
“ I was like how can someone treat you like that and you’re saying you understand him, are you God? Like when did human beings become so good like that. I just feel he’s fake,” she said.
Fans of Big Brother Naija’s housemate, Pere, are planning to protest today against the organizers of the reality TV show over alleged unfairness to their favourite.

The circular reads; “IF YOU ARE IN LAGOS PLEASE COME OUT TO ILUPEJU SPAR TOMORROW BY 7AM CALL 09022971519 OR +234 807 306 6317 for more info. Justice for Pere Rally… @pereegbiofficial @lylaws@bigbronaija @multichoice_group We’re coming for you! since you want to rig votes, expect the show to end instantly. You’re not ready for what is comin….”

She made this known while conversing with him about their earnings in the house, on Friday night.

“I got you,” Saga said.
See you saying I got you. Sweet mouth, I don’t want your money,” Nini said.
Saga said; “I may give it to you.”

New heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk says he trained for half a year in other to defeat Anthony Joshua. He said this in a post-match interview with Skysports, adding that the only thing he wanted to do with the fight against defeated Anthony Joshua was to give praise to Jesus Christ. Usyk said, “This means a lot for me. The fight went the way I expected it to go. There were moments when Anthony pushed me hard but it was nothing special. “I had no objective to knock him out because my corner pushed me not to do that. In the beginning, I tried to hit him hard, but then I stuck to my job. “The only thing I wanted to do with this fight is to give praise to Jesus Christ. “I have been working so hard since January in preparation for this fight, it took me half a year and I didn’t see my family for so long. I missed seeing them playing. “I want to go home and be happy with my family and I’m not thinking about the rematch.”
At 34, Usyk is three years older than Joshua and he was also giving away three inches in height as well as nearly 20lbs (nine kilogrammes) in weight. Usyk ended Anthony Joshua’s reign as world heavyweight champion with a stunning unanimous points decision victory on Saturday.
Joshua ended the 12th and final round of the contest backed up on the ropes, with the cheers of a crowd of more than 62,000 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium no match for the skills of his challenger. The impressive Ukrainian triumphed 117-112, 116-112 and 115-113 on the scorecards of the three judges in just the former undisputed cruiserweight world champion’s third bout as a heavyweight. His victory, which extended Usyk’s perfect record as a professional to 19 wins from as many fights, saw him become just the third boxer after Evander Holyfield of the United States and Britain’s David Haye to win both the cruiserweight and heavyweight world titles. Joshua, 31, whipped his loyal supporters into a frenzy during a protracted ring walk but did not get carried away himself during a cagey first round where he tried to establish his left jab. Usyk, moving well, continued to prove a difficult target to hit during the second round and the southpaw staggered Joshua with a powerful roundhouse left-hand punch to the head in the third.
And his left continued to prove potent throughout a contest where a slimmed down Joshua did not appear to gain much resulting benefit in ring speed, while at the same time lacking power in his punches. By the end of the tenth round, there was swelling under Joshua’s right eye. Usyk landed the cleaner shots in the closing stages as he backed Joshua onto the ropes and appeared poised for a knockout when the final bell sounded.
