1. Success Adegor: The Fearless Pupil Who Chose Flogging Over Missing School

Success Adegor was a 7-year-old Primary 3 pupil at Okotie-Eboh Primary School I in Sapele, Delta State, Nigeria. She was sent home by the headmistress over an unpaid exam levy. Instead of quietly going home, she defiantly ranted in Nigerian Pidgin English, declaring that she would rather stay and endure repeated flogging than miss school because "dem go flog flog flog, dem go tire" (they will flog and flog until they get tired).

Impact: A neighbor, Stephanie Rukewve Idolor, recorded and posted the video, which quickly went viral. The massive public reaction led to:

· Scholarships and financial aid for Success and her family
· Interventions and infrastructure improvements for her school
· Recognition as a child education ambassador, with brand and modeling opportunities



2. "My Oga at the Top": The Interview Blunder That Became a National Meme

The phrase "my oga at the top" refers to a viral moment from a March 5, 2013 interview on Channels Television's Sunrise Daily program. The guest was Mr. Shem Obafaiye, then the Lagos State Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).

The Incident: During the live interview, he was asked to state the official website of the NSCDC. Instead of providing a web address, he famously responded that the proper website would be made known by "my oga at the top" (my boss at the top).

The clip instantly became one of the biggest viral sensations and internet memes in Nigerian media history, spawning countless social media jokes, musical remixes, and even t-shirts.



3. "Mummy Calm Down": The Viral Plea That Became a National Catchphrase

The "Mummy Calm Down" phrase comes from a viral 2020 Nigerian video featuring a young boy named Oreofeoluwa Babalola (Ore) trying to calm his mother, Toluige Olokoobi Babalola, before she disciplined him.

The Viral Video (2020): Four-year-old Ore pleaded with his mother to "calm down" and "be calm" while facing punishment. The phrase became a national catchphrase in Nigeria, and the boy even met Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

Tragic Passing (2023): Toluige Olokoobi Babalola passed away on November 7, 2023, in Benin City, Edo State. Police launched an investigation into her death, and her family publicly urged the public to dismiss early suicide narratives, noting that the case was handled by the homicide department.

"The problem with Yorubas is that when you support them and they win, they turn around to behave as if they have subdued you."

- Babachir Lawal

With a secondary school certificate, you can wear almost all these uniforms—except one.


How can you explain the pictures below?
Can you prove it wrong?

BASIC RULES

1 . RULE 1 :Never fall in love with any woman
2. RULE 2: If you fall in love, remember RULE 1

Oga , you no be Yoruba. In Nigeria we claim when our father came from and not mother

Pacesetter123:

Trump nah Putin friend nah!

Ok o . i no wan here say justice to Nigeria

I hope Trump is aware of this match

It is a diplomatic INSULT for an Indian hospital to use the image of former Nigerian Head of State, Abdulsalami Abubakar, as an advert for knee replacement surgery in India. Even VP Shettima is in tow. It is a national embarrassment that portrays Nigeria as a banana republic.

TemplarLandry:
Yorubas are the most sophisticated by far. Take a look at this.

Sophisticated how?
How did Tinubu was able to manipulated them for ages?

Nigerians do not deserve pity. They deserve exactly what they vote for.

You complain about hardship, inflation, and misgovernance, yet the APC still sweeps 4 out of 5 bye-elections in Gombe, Kano, Delta, and Bauchi. Same party, same suffering, same vote.

You cannot mourn the fire while you keep handing over the fuel. Low turnout? Voter apathy? Those are excuses. Those who did show up chose the status quo again.

Pity is for victims without a choice. Nigerians have a choice every election cycle — and they keep choosing the hand that starves them.

A captain and two soldiers have been killed by terrorists Sunday night in the Bwari area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), credible sources close to military high command
The captain and the two soldiers were attached to the 7 Guards Brigade of the Nigerian Army, it was learnt.
The soldiers were reportedly ambushed after they visited the Nigeria Law School in Bwari following a distressed call from the authorities of the school. The school management was said to have alerted that terrorists had dropped a letter indicating an imminent attack on the school.
One of our sources said, “Following the threat letter from the terrorists, the leadership of the Nigerian Law School drew the attention of the military authorities at the 7 Guards Brigade.
“The late army captain (names withheld) and the soldiers were dispatched to the school for preliminary investigation.
“They had a discussion with authorities at the school and agreed on what to do to safeguard students, teachers and school facilities. Sadly on their way back, the terrorists ambushed them and that was how the captain and two soldiers were killed,” he said.
The source said other persons in the party escaped the attackers by whiskers.
Our correspondent was told that all stakeholders were asked to keep the threat on the law school, including the killing of the soldiers, secret.
“They said even the staff in the school should not be allowed to know what is happening because it will embarrass the government.”
Another source said following the threat, there was a plan to dispatch a joint task force to beef up security around the law school and Bwari at large.
He said besides the law school, other facilities in Bwari, especially those belonging to the government are now under threat and the people were now living in fear.
“This is the height of onslaught on the Federal Capital Territory, the seat of power,” he said.
“But the truth is that the threats have been there for long, nobody in the security circle in Nigeria will tell you that he or she is not aware of the threat on Abuja and the FCT at large.
“The terrorists have established cells in many communities around the FCT. That is why abductions have become a daily occurrence around Kuje, Gwagalada and the remaining area councils in the last one year or thereabouts.
“The target of the terrorists is to embarrass the government. They are in control of many communities in all the contiguous states to the FCT and they are finally here,” he said.
When contacted, the spokesman of the Guards Brigade, Captain Godfrey Anebi Abakpa, confirmed the attack.
He said troops were already combing the general areas in order to ensure that no more terrorist is hibernating around the area.
In recent times, bandits have been attacking villages in the nation’s capital with the latest being the kidnap of a monarch in Kucihbuyi, a community in Bwari Area Council.
A few days ago, terrorists attacked Kuje prison and set hundreds of inmates free.
Villages had been sacked by bandits in Abaji, Kuje Kwali and Gwagwalada Area Councils forcing many farmers to abandon their farmlands.
Meanwhile, the federal government has directed principals of unity colleges across the country to liaise with security agencies within their jurisdictions in order to forestall any security breach in the schools.
It also ordered the immediate closure of the Federal Government College (FGC), Kwali, located at Kwali Area Council of the FCT.
The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, gave the directives in a statement on Monday by the spokesman of the ministry, Ben Bem Goong.
Adamu said the closure became necessary following the security breach on Sheda and Lambata villages, suburbs of Kwali Area Council, which also threatened FGC, Kwali.
The minister said the timely intervention of security agencies saved the situation.
He also directed that arrangements be made for final year students to conclude their NECO examinations.
NBA 1st Vice President Expresses Concern As Nigeria Law School Schedules Call To Bar Ceremony For Wednesday, 27th July.
As the Management of the Nigerian Law School plans to hold the Call To Bar Ceremony for recent successful candidates on Wednesday, the 27th of July, the 1st VP of the Nigerian Bar Association has expressed worry over the safety of the students, management and guests as insecurity in the FCT hits a worrisome level.
The Ceremony which marks the formal licensing of successful bar candidates to practice law in Nigeria is scheduled to hold at the Multipurpose Hall of Nigerian Law School, Bwari, Abuja at 11am prompt.
However, in a message on his facebook page sighted by The Nigeria Lawyer last night, the NBA 1st VP, John Aikpokpo-Martins called on the Body of Benchers to change the venue of the ceremony to the International Conference Centre which is perceived to be more secure following recent security breaches in the Bwari area which hosts the Law School.
He said: ” “The call to bar ceremony for new lawyers is next tomorrow in Bwari, Abuja.
In the light of all the happenings, can the Body of Benchers kindly change the venue of that ceremony to the International Conference Centre inside the city for the safety of all?”

wiseoneking:
This shi***it is nothing. We have grown past the lies against Oyedepo. Juju shrine ni, juju shrine ko. All members of winners family will vote against this demonic party called APC. APC is satanic and anti Christian.

see the one you voted in
kwantinu

Pierohandsome:
Abiola happened to be the first Yoruba to play this politics of religion,he chose a Muslim deputy in the person of Kingibe,even though people voted him,he won but never ruled. God stopped him because he was trying to go against Christians.

Now Tinubu,another Yoruba is repeating same mistake,even if he wins,he won't rule. Same way God stopped MKO Abiola, He will stop Tinubu too. Infact the people have already stopped Tinubu.


It is pathetic that even core northern Muslims and Fulanis respect Christians more than Yoruba Muslims.

Are these musketeers Muslims?

we hear una

like this?
