He meant he was exhausted, and took energy drink, yet the sleep kept calling. How he got to the next destination was by God's grace ('God drove the car')
I think it was better when Amaechi was silent. He's talking too much recently. Is he about to decamp?
NO! The headline isn't misleading. Rotimi Amaechi was quoted verbertim saying that "God drove the car" and that's what was published in the newspaper article.
Second, I agree with you that he's been too garrulous lately. When you talk too much, you end up speaking nonsense OR below par. “By the time I got to Zaria, I needed to ease myself. I came down, eased myself. From Kaduna, God drove us because I was sleeping. In fact, I came down in Kaduna where I bought six cans of Red Bull. It didn’t work. So God drove us from Kaduna to Abuja.”

psychic101: Questions A Lady Asks The Guy She Has Future Plans For
There are many girls now claiming "marriage material" and all "bangradash". I'm tired of hearing and seeing small small girls come out when the pastor says, "come out for special prayers if you know you're ripe and ready for marriage". Life has spoil sha...
Let's say you have a girl and because the cohabitation has confused your eyes and mind that you don't if she really has future plans for you or just killing time with you.
She will seriously ask you these questions:
1. What do you see yourself doing in the next few years?
She must be a "future person" to have asked this. Only a dreamer can ask such. She wants to know where you feature in her life and dreams. The FAKE ones ask just to know if you'll still be making more money and not really creating VALUES or IMPACT!
2. Where do you work currently and why?
Don't be quick to classify all ladies as "gold diggers" when they ask this. It's only normal so as to know what you're doing and if you meet her requirements. That's part of the "acquaintance process". Though, if that's the first question she asks, watch out!
3. What characters puts you off the most in a lady.
She is getting to really like you and don't wanna offend you. Trust me, if she asks you this, she is really into you.
4. What's your view about living with "in laws"?
In laws play an important role in any marriage. As time goes, in-laws (from any angle) might come around to stay for awhile. She has you in the right perspective.
5. Where do you see yourself living in the next 5 years?
Nobody knows tomorrow but a lady still remains the "owner" of the home as such she wants to know what plans you've got for her and "her children".
6. This is my dream and passion: Can you chose to marry a girl like me?
A sincere, down-to-earth, self-confident and a purpose-driven girl will ask any guy "disturbing" her this question. Not tomorrow na, you ask to sit at home and be a Complete Housewife. Mbanu!
7. Are you in any relationship currently?
Most "hasty" girls don't care to ask this after 'dating' him for a while but she does. To be rest assured that she is the only one before saying I do.
The Point 7 is most common with girls who are very careful about giving their hearts away based on the fact that they're "new" in the system or they've been through one in the past.
IbileIfe: NFTs are the new gold mine of the blockchain . The highest selling NFT, The Merge sold for US$91.8 million in December 2021.
TECH/CREATORS/FEATURED STORIES Beeple sold an NFT for $69 million / Through a first-of-its-kind auction at Christie’s By Jacob Kastrenakes, a deputy editor who oversees tech and news coverage. Since joining The Verge in 2012, he’s published 5,000+ stories and is the founding editor of the creators desk.
A square collage of 5,000 works from Beeple, start with the oldest in the top left corner and continuing to recent works in the bottom right corner. Beeple’s collage, Everydays: The First 5000 Days, sold at Christie’s. Image: Beeple Until October, the most Mike Winkelmann — the digital artist known as Beeple — had ever sold a print for was $100.
Today, an NFT of his work sold for $69 million at Christie’s. The sale positions him “among the top three most valuable living artists,” according to the auction house.
The record-smashing NFT sale comes after months of increasingly valuable auctions. In October, Winkelmann sold his first series of NFTs, with a pair going for $66,666.66 each. In December, he sold a series of works for $3.5 million total. And last month, one of the NFTs that originally sold for $66,666.66 was resold for $6.6 million. *** “I do view this as the next chapter of art history.”
NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are unique files that live on a blockchain and are able to verify ownership of a work of digital art. Buyers typically get limited rights to display the digital artwork they represent, but in many ways, they’re just buying bragging rights and an asset they may be able to resell later. The technology has absolutely exploded over the past few weeks — and Winkelmann, more than anyone else, has been at the forefront of its rapid rise.[/s]
The highest selling NFT by a Nigerian sold for US$75, 000.

Flirtyfemi: A teacher from Northern Ireland got a wedding day fit for a princess when she tied the knot with the Crown Prince of Lagos in County Armagh yesterday.
Prince Mustapha Oniru of Lagos, the last son of sectional traditional ruler in Lagos State, Oba Abiodun Oniru, walked down the aisle with his 27 year old white bride, Kristy Crooks, in Northern Island yesterday.
The Prince’s parents Oba (King) Idowu Abiodun Oniru and Queen Olori Arike Oniru attended the service in Loughgall Presbyterian Church which was conducted by Rev Philip McKelvey.
The royal couple are due to travel to Monaco and then St Tropez for their honeymoon, but plan to set up a base in Northern Ireland.
Kirsty met Mustapha while teaching at the British International School, which is owned by Oba Oniru. Mustapha who just finished a Masters Degree in Marketing, is the school administrator.
Oh by the way, Oba Oniru is the same oba who tried to bestow a chieftancy title on Governor Fashola of Lagos state last year but the latter rejected the title.

Miss Universe Nigeria 2021, Chidimma Adetshina, is making headlines once again after allegedly returning to South Africa following drama in 2024 regarding her South African citizenship.
The model withdrew from the Miss South Africa 2024 competition after questions were raised about her identity. The Department of Home Affairs later launched an investigation into her mother’s citizenship.
In a shocking twist of events, Home Affairs revealed that there was Prima Facie evidence of fraud and identity theft, possibly committed by her mother.
She then moved to Nigeria, where she was crowned Miss Nigeria 2024.
Many did not anticipate that she would return to Mzansi (South Africa), given the drama surrounding her departure from the country. However, she was reportedly seen recently in the Mother City (Cape Town).
According to an X user with the handle @PovertykillerB, Adetshina was recently spotted in Cape Town.
In the video, the model is seen enjoying a break with a few ladies in her company.
X USERS REACT TO CHIDIMMA’S VIDEO
Many X users have questioned the SA legal system for allowing the model to enter the country. Furthermore, others have called on the Minister of Home Affairs, Leon Schreiber, to respond.
@RTmmane wrote: “@Leon_Schreib nothing has changed at home affairs, you guys still take bribes from Nigerians . Why is Chidimma back in South Africa?

Bump.
It's a good thing that this girl's so-called biological mother is now in SA custody. Identity theft is one of the WORSE crimes ever.
MimiBiggs: Chidimma Adetshina, the Miss Universe Nigeria and Miss Univer Africa and Oceania winner faced a lot of trolls as she joined her South African friends in a live stream.
Most of the comments centred around her identity, motherhood and age.

I watched the video and for the records, this isn't the ORIGINAL Ofada sauce sequence... But it looks eatable though. This must be emphasized so that people are NOT totally misled into engaging in copying and pasting FALSE information online and offline.
Oblitz: Chinese company claims to have developed a nuclear battery that can last 50 years without recharging. A Chinese start-up company, Betavolt Technology, has announced that it has developed a nuclear battery that can power devices for up to 50 years without the need for recharging. The company says that its battery is the first to achieve the miniaturization of atomic energy production, fitting 63 nuclear isotopes into a module smaller than a coin.
The nuclear battery, named BV100, uses a combination of a nickel-63 radioactive isotope and a fourth-generation diamond semiconductor. The battery harnesses the energy released by the nuclear decay of the isotope and converts it into electricity. The company claims that the battery has a power output of 100 microwatts and 3 volts, and that it can operate safely under extreme temperatures, from -76 to 248 Fº (-60 to 120 degrees Celsius). The battery is also resistant to punctures and gunfire without catching fire or exploding.
Betavolt Technology says that its nuclear battery could enable devices like smartphones, drones, medical devices, microprocessors, advanced sensors, and micro-robots to run continuously without the degradation of battery capacity and lifespan over charging cycles, as seen in conventional Li-ion batteries. The company also says that its battery has no external radiation and poses no environmental threat, as the radioactive isotopes transform into a stable, non-radioactive isotope of copper after the decay period.
The company is currently conducting pilot testing of its nuclear battery, and plans to mass-produce it by the end of this year. It also aims to introduce a 1 watt version of the battery next year, which could be used for applications like automotive technology and AI systems. The company envisions its atomic energy batteries being utilized in various fields, such as aerospace, military, and health care, positioning China at the forefront of the AI technological revolution.
The nuclear battery technology is based on the principle of isotope technology, first proposed in 1913 by British physicist Henry Moseley. It captures the energy from the nuclear decay of radioactive elements, which is a spontaneous process in which isotopes emit radiation, leading to more stable new atoms. Scientists encapsulate these isotopes, converting the energy emitted into usable electrical power. The lifespan of a nuclear battery correlates with the half-life of the isotope used as its energy source. For instance, the half-life of nickel-63 is about 100 years, whereas potassium-40 is around 1.3 billion years.
The development of the nuclear battery by Betavolt Technology has attracted attention from both the scientific community and the general public, as it could potentially revolutionize the field of energy and electronics. However, some experts have also raised questions about the safety, reliability, and feasibility of the nuclear battery, as well as the ethical and legal implications of using nuclear technology for civilian purposes. The company says that it has obtained the necessary approvals and certifications from the relevant authorities, and that it will continue to improve its technology and products to meet the market demand and customer expectations.
