Three days ago I dreamt that Peter Obi was delivering a presidential speech. The old national anthem was sung . . .

Wishing him quick recovery 🙏

It's unfortunate that our mortgage system in Nigeria is seriously dysfunctional. A stable income earner should be able to afford a decent house in any part of Nigeria with no qualms. But trust Naija, even for well paid Federal Civil Servants to access their mortgage under NHF, they need strong CONNECTION and "other" things

Old wine, new skin

Biko, who has the prophesies for 2025? I want to check something

Cry well well. They got Nnamdi Kanu from where he ran to and tied him down till date

In this 2026, try dey use your brain once a while. You will love it, I assure you.

As the new year begins, many of us in Nigeria are familiar with certain Church practices: the crossover night services, the collective January fasts, and the giving of special "first fruit" offerings. These things are not bad in themselves. They can be times of fellowship, dedication, and a desire to start the year right with God.

However, it's important for us to gently ask: what is the heart behind these actions? Sometimes, these practices can subtly become a system. They can be presented as strict requirements for God's blessing, or as rituals we must do to avoid a bad year. When the focus shifts heavily to the act itself (the location of your crossover, the strictness of your fast, the amount of your offering) it can become a tool of control, making people feel anxious, judged, or less faithful if they don't participate in a specific way.

The Christian faith, at its core, is about a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. His love and grace are not locked behind a special event, a particular month of fasting, or a financial transaction. Our blessing comes from being in Christ, not from perfectly observing a calendar.

This is a reminder, especially to my fellow Nigerians, to always go back to the heart of the matter. Let's engage in Church practices with understanding and freedom, not compulsion or fear. Use this season to deepen your personal walk with God. Talk to Him in your own words. Study His word for yourself. Let your giving be from a cheerful heart, not pressure. Your faith is between you and God.

May this new year be one where we all grow closer to Him, not just in rituals, but in a true and lasting relationship.

Blessings

This thing called OLD AGE ba? Every body must collect! Rich or poor, wise or foolish. It's the common humbler of all humans who live long enough . . .

It's a lesson to those who are currently young, vibrant, healthy, ambitious and WISE. Nothing lasts forever. This life is just an illusion. A meaningless vapour.

Ah! These are satanic verses. Run for your life!

In a sane country, this nincompoop would have been apprehended and unalived a long time ago . . .

Amen! 🙏

Nice one! The current design & technology of airplanes are almost a century old. We are now due for a radical paradigm shift in aviation technology.

The only point am guilty is I have a stable girlfriend here where I am, but it's due to distance to my wife...but I will soon return tho.. because am missing my kids 😭..may God forgive us.. cheating is not good tho...

Keep spelling out the rules of engagement sha. Don't allow her to get pregnant or start catching feelings for you. Na there everything go scatter

This is the first time I am seeing "cheating" and "faithful" in the same sentence!

Good riddance

The President of a nation can be regarded metaphorically as the "father" of that nation right? I don't think she's wrong.

PS:
I don't support Tinubu

Meanwhile, this is a male Viking hairstyle

This man might be one of the sponsors of terrorism in Nigeria, making such audacious statements in public. But security agencies will never apprehend or interrogate him. Issokay! 🤐

I thought it was something serious 😒🙄🙄

Onewazobia:
The question is who is going to take over from him, POB, Atiku, Tambwa etc?

The Nigerian Presidency is for the highest bidder

Permanent interests 😜

If Tinubu relied on votes, he won't be President today 🤐🤐🤐

State Police is the way forward. But the enemies of Nigeria will do everything to stop it from being achieved.

Men should leave that usher work inside aeroplanes for ladies biko!

I hate seeing men with big chest and strong faces walking up and down the aisles serving food and water . . .

HOW TO ADDRESS INSECURITY IN NIGERIA
1. Avoid Arming Untrained Civilian Groups: The FG (including the NSA) should not provide weapons to groups without formal training, oversight, and integration into official security frameworks.

2. Strengthen Local Law Enforcement & Intelligence: Increase the presence and capacity of police, DSS, and military in affected areas with community cooperation.

3. Enforce Restricted Movement Policies : Implement and monitor measures like timed grazing bans to reduce criminal cover.

4. Support Community-Based Security: Train and formally integrate trusted local hunters/vigilantes into recognized security efforts under supervision.

5. Disarm All Illegal Armed Persons: Consistently recover illegal weapons from all individuals and groups outside lawful authority.

6. Improve Inter-Agency Coordination: Ensure seamless collaboration between security agencies and local leaders for credible intelligence and operations.

7. Focus on Economic Alternatives: Accelerate programs to reduce dependence on open grazing and provide alternative livelihoods for herders.

8. Ensure Judicial Accountability: Prioritize lawful arrests, fair trials, and prosecution of all criminals, regardless of affiliation.

A simple promise to marry, which is later broken, is not a legally enforceable contract in Nigeria and does not give rise to a successful lawsuit for damages.

The Nigerian Court of Appeal decisively settled this position[b] in the case of Okoro v. Nwachukwu[/b] (2007) 9 NWLR (Pt. 1038) 1. In this landmark judgment, the court abolished the antiquated action for "breach of promise to marry." The court held that such promises are social and domestic arrangements lacking the necessary legal intent to create a binding contract. Marriage is founded on free consent, and the court will not compel a person to marry another against their will or punish them for changing their mind.

However, the only potential legal recourse exists if money or property was transferred in specific contemplation of the marriage (e.g., bride price, dowry, or non-refundable wedding expenses). In such instances, the claimant may sue for the recovery of the monetary value of those items under the principle of restitution or unjust enrichment, not for the breach of the promise itself. This was also acknowledged in the Okoro v. Nwachukwu case.
