The Nigerian sex addict whose story News Express broke yesterday attracted friends like bees to honey after putting up a notice on Facebook announcing her status as a bisexual and professing to “Love men and women...in and out of the bedroom...”

Joy Iyangbe-Okonofua, who claimed to be a 2011 graduate of Ambrose Alli University Ekpoma in Edo State, South-South Nigeria, had further said: “I’m a bi-sexual edo girl who loves fun..i need friendships that will last and interesting people to share my life with...”

News Express can confirm that within only eight days of joining Facebook, Joy got 143 friends, overwhelmingly Nigerians, of diverse ethnic groups and social backgrounds.

Following the uproar that greeted the publication of her story yesterday morning, the self-confessed bisexual hastily closed down her Facebook account but several people had already viewed it. They include Arowolo Jelil Olasunkanmi, a chartered accountant; Emmanuel Ebesunun and Isaac Dachen, a senior journalist.
However, even though Joy closed down her page, one could still locate it in the archive yesterday by going to Facebook and searching for Joy Iyangbe-Okonofua, after which one would see the link in previous comments on her status, click on it and be led to her page.

But this afternoon she had succeeded in totally removing the page. When News Express went on her prowl, the following message was displayed: “The page you requested was not found. You may have clicked an expired link or mistyped the address. Some web addresses are case sensitive.”

Pretty Joy, who claimed to work with the Military Hospital Ikoyi, Lagos in South-West Nigeria, had said in one of her status updates: “Hey Guys, I’m a 25 year old bi-sexual Benin girl serving as a corper in one of the military hospitals in Lagos. I’m fun, outgoing, and ready for some action with both men and women. Discreet Liasons only...I work as a biomedical laboratory assistant people! If you want to contact me, do so on 08038131651 or 07051239618. I'll be waiting to hear from you ooo!!"

In another status update she wrote: “Joy Iyangbe-Okonofua: Hey Guys, I’m a 25 year old bi-sexual Benin girl serving as a corper in one of the military hospitals in Lagos.

Reacting to Joy’s postings, a shocked kinsman, Gabriel Omonhinmin, wrote: “I am not too sure you are in your true frame of mind. I am ashamed of you as an Esan girl.”
