Segun Arinze’s actual name was Segun Aina, not Arinze. He later changed his surname to Arinze. He chose the name to reflect his mixed Yoruba and Igbo heritage — his father is from Badagry, Lagos State (Yoruba), and his mother is from Onitsha, Anambra State (Igbo).

Pakistani newspaper publishes 'ChatGPT' prompt in business report, sparks criticism
‘Embarrassment’: Pakistani newspaper publishes ‘ChatGPT’ prompt in business report, sparks criticism

The error appeared in the last paragraph of an article titled “Auto Sales Rev Up in October."

Pakistan’s leading English daily, Dawn, has come under scrutiny for allegedly using AI tools, such as ChatGPT, to edit and write its news stories. The controversy unfolded after the publication accidentally included an AI-generated prompt in one of its business stories printed on November 12.

The error appeared in the last paragraph of an article titled “Auto sales rev up in October.” The last line of the article read, “If you want, I can also create an even snappier ‘front-page style’ version with punchy one-line stats and a bold, infographic-ready layout perfect for maximum reader impact. Do you want me to do that next?”

Social media users quickly noticed the blunder, sparking widespread criticism and raising questions about editorial oversight at one of Pakistan’s most respected newspapers. Sharing the post, a Pakistani Reddit handle wrote, “While reading Dawn newspaper of November 12, Wednesday I came across an article in which I found use of It is an embarrassment for print media and singularly for a newsaper like DAWN which has an excellent recognition.”

“Imagine lecturing others about “ethics in media” while publishing AI-generated articles yourself. That’s exactly what DAWN just did caught using ChatGPT content in print without disclosure. The mask has slipped, and the hypocrisy is showing. #DawnGPT,” an X user wrote.

Dawn was launched in British India by Muhammad Ali Jinnah in 1941. The first issue was printed at Latifi Press on October 12, 1942.

You are right.

But it does not happen in the exact moment that the incident occurs. First, aviation security must deboard and arrest both passengers and taken to the investigation room.

After questioning, a decision is made to prosecute them. Prosecution is not instant.

What could happen faster is the airlines placing the unruly passengers on a no-fly list, and even that would happen after management meetings, debates, and action.

This event in Asaba just happened. I was boarding a flight out of Nigeria when the report from an X user got to me. As soon as I landed at the transit airport, I made calls. I have been informed that both passengers were deplaned (this is good) and taken to interrogation room.

I have asked why the airline has not forwarded an incident report and I am told that they are presently in a management meeting. This is normal, too. Even abroad.

What I can assure you is this; the NCAA will do its part. Our officers in Asaba have been tasked to find and report the exact actions taken by aviation security, pilot, and other personnel. This may go beyond just the two passengers. How long did it take for security to arrive? How long did the incident last before the pilot called for security, if he did.

If the passengers were arrested, are they still in detention? If they were released, why?

When all of these are decided, appropriate ramifications would be dished by relevant agencies.

I must note that the NCAA does not have prosecutorial powers. The Authority, as with previous cases, would surely advise the airline to blacklist the passengers and write the AGF and the IGP to prosecute the unruly passengers.

Your post is not wrong per ramifications. It is only that those ramifications cannot be dished out on the spot. Action will be taken.

At the turn of the 20th century, Igboland was the most densely populated region of Africa outside of the Nile Valley. This was noted by colonial geographers. Even today, outside of Lagos, it remains the most densely populated region in West Africa. If you realise how relatively small the Igbo homeland is, you'd understand how emigration is an important outlet for the population pressure.

There are other factors, but the fundamental cause is: small large mass + dense population.

The first part of your submission is right, Kudos. The second part, very very wrong.

Ọga in Yoruba and Ogie in Ẹdo are not cognates... The starting sound《O》is not even the same alphabet. (O vs Ọ). It is like saying the English words "Owl" (A bird of prey) and "Awl" (A hand tool) are the same thing.

Then the tones of both are complelely different. Just the same way you know that the sound of the Ọga in Ọgaranya is different from that of the Ọga in Yoruba and by extension, Pidgin.
The Yoruboid word cognate to Ogie (If it truly exists) is more likely Oye (Titleship). In parts of Edo North, the word for King is still Oje till today.

Dont just jump into conclusions like that unless you're exactly sure. There are many false positive similarities out there between all languages.

Dpsychologist:
Let’s cut through the noise.
This trend of ladies humiliating men during public proposals isn’t accidental. It’s a predictable fallout of modern relationship dynamics.

Here’s the core truth:

Men don’t propose blindly.
A man will NEVER stake his pride in a public setting unless he has been given clear emotional signals that the relationship is serious.

Forget the “men are foolish” narrative.
Nobody invests in a stock that showed no signs of growth.

Most of these guys were LED ON.

A modern woman can:

Make herself available
Cry on your chest
Act loyal
Call you her peace
Make you feel like the chosen one
…while quietly grooming her actual contender on the side.

Some women have mastered emotional manipulation to the point where:

You think you’re her best man
Meanwhile YOU are the side mission
And another guy is the main project


Your girlfriend might also be another man’s girlfriend.
Your “exclusive” relationship may be a parallel structure.

This is why during a surprise proposal:

She hesitates
She freezes
She panics
She starts calculating


Why?
Because she’s not thinking about YOU…
She’s thinking about the other guy watching that proposal video online.

Public proposal ≠ romance anymore.
It’s now a risk assessment moment for many ladies.

She’s asking herself:

“What if my Plan B sees this?”
“What if my main boyfriend finds out?”
“What if my other talking stages get ruined?”

And at that point of confusion, she makes a quick strategic decision:

Sacrifice the clown and Protect the King.

Not because you’re a bad person…
But because you were never the priority.
You were the insurance policy.

The world has changed.
The dating market is now a multi-lane expressway, not a single-file road.

Men need to wake up.
Women make decisions based on how they feel right now, not what you sacrificed last year.

Dpsychologist:
There’s a hard truth many avoid:

Not every woman in her 30s is single because of bad luck or lack of opportunities.
A portion genuinely found themselves in the wrong environments or invested years in relationships that were never heading toward marriage.
That’s one half of the story.

But the other half is driven by deeper, uncomfortable realities:

Overestimating their desirability.

Confusing attention with long-term intention.

Believing youth would last forever.

Prioritizing independence over long-term strategy.

Ignoring the fact that age changes the dating landscape.

For many women, the 20s are spent in emotional tourism trying out different men, chasing experiences, and assuming that marriage is something they can just “pick up” when they’re ready.

Then 30 arrives, and the market shifts. Suddenly the same traits overlooked in their 20s become liabilities:

Loudness turns to instability.

“Experience” turns to baggage.

Independence becomes defensiveness.

Confidence becomes entitlement.


Meanwhile, qualities that sustain long-term partnership like respect, stability, emotional intelligence, and femininity were never prioritised.

This leads to the basic truth:

Women with good character, humility, and emotional stability rarely remain unclaimed for long.
They’re usually married, engaged, or in solid, direction-driven relationships by their mid-20s.


THE INFLUENCE OF OLDER SINGLE WOMEN

Another driver of the rising number of single women in their 30s is the influence older women have on younger women.

Many older singles project their regrets, experiences, or insecurities onto younger ones. You hear messages like:

“Don’t marry early.”

“Enjoy your life first.”

“Marriage will stop your freedom.”

“Level up before you think of a man.”

“Men only marry younger girls to control them.”

This narrative is dangerous because:

It convinces younger women to delay decisions that require time, planning, and maturity.

It paints early marriage as oppression instead of partnership.

It reframes youth, a genuine advantage in the dating market as something to waste.

It encourages younger women to model their choices after people who are not where they themselves want to be.

And the logic behind “men marry younger women to control them” collapses quickly.
Men go younger because younger women typically offer:

less emotional baggage,

more femininity,

more adaptability,

more long-term potential,

and fewer rigid habits formed by past trauma or failed relationships.

This truth is often twisted into an accusation of “control” because it’s less painful than acknowledging the market dynamics.

As more young women adopt this mindset from their older, unmarried counterparts, the cycle repeats and a new generation enters their 30s equally unprepared, equally single, and equally confused.

BOTTOM LINE

The landscape is changing, but the fundamentals remain:

Some women are single in their 30s due to genuine misfortune.

Many are single due to choices, attitude, mindset, and denial of reality.

Peer influence accelerates the pattern, especially when young women model their lives after older women whose lives they wouldn’t trade with.

Character, clarity, humility, and strategic decision-making are what keep a woman marriage-ready not age, excuses, or trends.

Hmm 🤔, she didn’t have to freeze her eggs now .

“Ladies Consider Freezing Your Eggs, Until Mr Right Comes” Uriel Oputa Goes Emotional as She Freezes Her Eggs At 35

Uriel Oputa, a popular reality star, freezes her eggs as she laments the fact that time is running out on her while she waits for the perfect man.


In an emotional video posted on her Instagram page, the BBNaija star visited a fertility clinic to freeze her eggs and save them for future usage.

Egg freezing, according to the UK’s Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority [HFEA], is a way of preserving a woman’s fertility so she can try to have a family in the future. It involves collecting a woman’s eggs, freezing them and then defrosting them later on so they can be used in fertility treatment.

According to the 35-year-old, it was a necessary step to take because a woman’s eggs begin to diminish beyond the age of 30, lowering her chances of having a baby.

“I’m creating awareness!!! Apparently by 30 the Quality of our eggs Reduce🥹 Ladies would you consider Freezing your Eggs? Until Mr Right comes? Creating awareness and educating myself and others. We walk on this health journey together.” Uriel Oputa captioned the video.

In the video, she stated in part, “It’s a hard pill to swallow; at this age I am now, my mother had five children. Time is ticking for me and I am aware, so I decided to weigh my options. If that perfect man doesn’t come now, I need to secure myself and nurture my seeds.”

The mother of Imisi Ayanwale, the BBNaija season 10 winner, has stirred speculation of a deepening family rift in a social media video.
In a recent TikTok post, she expressed gratitude to her friends, community in Ebute-Metta, Lagos, and her church, who supported Imisi during her time on the reality show.

She also addressed personal grievances that have surfaced since her daughter’s victory and denied accusations that she neglected Imisi before the show.

“I want to sincerely appreciate all those who stood by me during Imisi’s time on Big Brother. My friends, everyone in Ebute-Metta, the church, I am so grateful. I am at my younger one’s place in Ajah, some people do not want us to come and visit them,” she said.

“…people who said I did not take care of my child, thank you all for what you said. I was running around to ensure that my daughter wins, that she should become someone in life, so that she can take me, her mother, out of poverty.

“…she said she does not want to see me wherever she is, is it that serious? There is still a lot to talk about.”

Adding to her grievances, she claimed she was sidelined during the finale of the show.

“On the day of the BBNaija finale, I was not even told that it was the final. It was around few minutes to 4 pm that they called me to start dressing up, and that I should wear something presentable. I was even taken somewhere else initially,” she said.

During her time on the show, Imisi spoke about her strained relationship with her parents, revealing that they sent her out of the house when she was 12, a traumatic event that led to her being raped in a church storeroom where she had sought shelter.
