Nigerian woman sets an unfortunate record in USA

STERLING, Va. (AP) -- Customs officials at Dulles International Airport say a Nigerian woman set an unfortunate record when she tried to smuggle almost five pounds of heroin into the country.

Authorities say 52-year-old Bola Adebisi (ah-deh-BEE-see) ingested 180 thumb-sized pellets filled with $150,000 worth of heroin. She is charged with drug smuggling in federal court.

Officers became suspicious Saturday when she said she was coming to the U.S. to visit her brother, but couldn't describe him. A routine pat-down found her stomach to be abnormally rigid. An X-ray revealed the pellets and she was taken to the hospital.

A public defender declined to comment.

The previous record for an ingested drug seizure at Dulles occurred last year, when another Nigerian was discovered with more than four pounds of pellets.
***********************************************************
We would like to use this medium to advice Nigerians to desist from this kind of extreme desperate moves of ingesting and trafficking in drugs. There are 1001 genuine means of survival in life.

Look around Nigeria and down our history there is no single Nigerian that made it through this hook and crook means whose wealth has endured, but you will see lasting wealth of men and women who took to one or two business line or profession and made it beyond measures, that even in death their children, and children's children still leave of their wealth. They enjoy more positive recognition, have good name, etc.

If one invests the same measure of time and energy he or she invests in crime of this nature, to do something more productive, he or she will be running no life threatening risk, but at the same time ,will certainly achieve success eventually and will be far proud of his achievement than the opposite way. And as success begets success, he or she will set himself or herself on the path of success. But for the person into hook and crook, for how long will you be safely doing what you are doing? And you might think, oh just this once, and you would go for it and succeed, make some money, but as money is insatiable, you would continue in same way until someday you run out of luck.

And another thing with wealth is, if it has no foundation, you will lose it as soon as you get it. You can invest it quite but that's where it ends, you can 't create wealth, except if you would continue in your game and get caught someday or giveup and might have to go back to the drawing board of doing the right thing. Meanwhile, for one who is doing the right thing, he or she has handle to the measure of wealth he or she wishes to create and he does it with ease and in safety. And, so why want to waste your time and run risk of serving years of jail term before starting to do the right thing.

The three richest people in the world are Carlos Slim, Bill Gate and Warren Buffet, they didn't make it by trafficking in drugs or internet scamming. They made it learning one thing or the other and using the knowledge to create solution to one problem or the other facing the world and then the world rewarded them in cash and made them billionaires.

The same with Nigerian Dangote, Adenuga, Ekenedili Chukwu transport, Izuchukwu transport, and many thousands of other Nigerians. They all have one thing in common, before they started what made them rich today, they had a choice, either to go into something productive or self-destructive. They chose productive. They had a choice between good and bad, they chose good. They had a choice between short cut and long, they chose long, believing in the longterm reward. Today the benefit is obvious and many others are on their way to catching up. Today the choice is yours.
