"Avoid Korope With Conductors" – Small Doctor Raises Alarm on Lagos Commuter Safety
Popular Nigerian street-hop artist, Small Doctor, has taken to social media to issue a public safety warning to Lagosians, specifically targeting the use of “Korope” minibuses — a popular mode of transportation within the city. His message: avoid any Korope that has a conductor.
In a post shared via his verified X (formerly Twitter) account, the singer expressed deep concern over the rising trend of criminal activities disguised as commercial transportation. He claimed that 90% of Korope minibuses with conductors may have ulterior motives, urging commuters to stay vigilant and prioritize their safety. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
“If you come across a mini bus (Korope) with a conductor, please do not board. Do Not Board. Do not board. 90% of them have another agenda. Be vigilant,” he tweeted.
Korope: Convenient but Controversial
“Korope” buses — typically small minibuses that operate on major and inner-city routes in Lagos — are known for their affordability and accessibility. Many Lagosians rely on them daily for movement across densely populated areas like Oshodi, Ojuelegba, Ikorodu, Iyana-Ipaja, and more.
However, as reports of petty crimes, abductions, and “one chance” robberies continue to surface, concerns around unregulated Korope operations have grown. Small Doctor’s warning brings renewed attention to what seems to be an increasingly unsafe transport option, especially for those unaware of the risks. Public Reactions and Street Credibility
Given Small Doctor’s strong connection to the streets and grassroots communities in Lagos, many fans have taken his warning seriously. The artist, known for his hit songs like “Penalty” and “Omo Better”, has always aligned himself with everyday Nigerians, especially those navigating the challenges of Lagos life.
Reactions on social media have been mixed but mostly supportive. Some users thanked the singer for the heads-up, while others shared personal experiences involving suspicious Korope operators. The Lagos State Government and transport authorities are yet to issue a formal statement in response to the singer’s claims. Commuter Tips: Staying Safe in Lagos Transit
In light of Small Doctor’s warning, here are a few safety tips for daily commuters in Lagos:
Avoid lone Korope minibuses, especially those that appear hastily filled or unusually eager to pick passengers.
Observe the driver and conductor — if they appear nervous, overly aggressive, or secretive, stay away.
Board at designated bus stops with visible activity and, ideally, some level of regulation.
Share your location when commuting, especially at night or in low-traffic areas.
Trust your instincts — if a situation feels wrong, it probably is.
Conclusion
Small Doctor’s warning may seem alarming, but in a city as fast-paced and unpredictable as Lagos, such alerts could mean the difference between safety and danger. As commuters continue to battle traffic, costs, and now safety concerns, it’s critical to remain informed and cautious.
TikToker Sparks Outrage After Calling Wife “A Fairly Used Mother of 4” While Boasting About His Looks
A Nigerian TikToker identified as eksschooloflife has come under heavy fire online after making demeaning remarks about his wife while praising his own looks during a TikTok live session.
In a video that has since gone viral on X (formerly Twitter), the social media personality bragged about the attention he still receives from much younger women, stating that ladies aged 21 and 22 often refer to him as “baby,” a term he claims makes him blush. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
However, the content creator took a controversial turn when he compared himself to his wife in unflattering terms.
“I’m still called baby by girls of 21, 22. When they call me baby, I blush. My wife is a fairly used mother of 4. A man going after her, his mental health would be checked,” he said during the stream.
Public Backlash Erupts Online
The comments immediately sparked outrage across social media, with many users condemning his statements as misogynistic, disrespectful, and deeply shameful, especially coming from a husband.
Here are some of the reactions from X:
@Brighter6N: “Some people are just a disgrace to their family… What has he gained to say this trash about his own wife?”
@Deenoblee: “If this man get shame and sense pass you then your life don Manchester.”
@Mercytwts: “I will always say this—women, prioritise yourself. Most of these men see women as baby factories.”
@promise_ben10: “He is still looking young.” (This comment, however, drew mixed responses.)
A Bigger Conversation on Respect and Marriage
While some viewers brushed off his words as a desperate attempt at clout chasing, many saw it as a reflection of how some men view their partners once children and age set in. The video has sparked renewed calls for respectful partnerships and self-worth in marriage.
So far, the TikToker has not issued any apology or response to the backlash.
A 32-year-old Russian woman, Mariana Barutkina, has reportedly fractured her spine while attempting the viral “Nicki Minaj stiletto challenge”, just weeks after giving birth.
In the now-viral video, Barutkina — a new content creator — is seen trying to squat in heels on a dangerously stacked surface consisting of a baby formula container placed on top of a saucepot, all balanced on a kitchen counter. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
The challenge, which mimics a famous pose from Nicki Minaj’s “High School” music video, involves influencers performing stunts in stilettos on risky platforms to capture attention online.
Unfortunately, Mariana lost her balance mid-squat, falling off the counter and injuring her back. She was later diagnosed with a Th9 compression fracture, a serious spinal injury. “Life Tests You” – Barutkina Reflects After Accident
Despite the pain and aftermath, Barutkina took to social media to share her ordeal and reflect on how life throws unexpected challenges. She admitted the stunt was risky but said she never imagined it could lead to a serious medical condition.
“Sometimes life tests us in the most unexpected ways,” she wrote in a follow-up post.
Barutkina’s accident has reignited online debates about the dangers of viral challenges and the pressures many new influencers face to gain quick fame on social platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Trend Turns Risky
The Nicki Minaj stiletto challenge, originally intended to showcase balance and confidence, has seen numerous failed attempts and close calls, with users performing the pose on chairs, counters, and even glass tables.
Medical professionals are now urging caution, especially for postpartum women, warning that the pelvic and spinal areas remain vulnerable after childbirth.
Lagos Government Urges Residents in Lekki, Ikorodu, Ajegunle to Relocate Over Imminent Flooding Threat
The Lagos State Government has issued a critical warning to residents in flood-prone communities, urging them to immediately relocate to safer areas as heavy rainfall and widespread flooding continue to affect parts of the state.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday, August 5, the Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, emphasized that the alert followed updated forecasts indicating intensified rainfall and increased risk of life-threatening flood conditions in low-lying areas. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
“Those around the Ajilete axis of Lagos — that’s Ajegunle — they have to move,” Wahab said during the live interview. “Those along the coastline in Ikorodu, such as Majidun, also need to move. Some parts of the Lekki corridor too — not all — are affected.”
The Commissioner also flagged Isheri (OPIC area) as another critical zone requiring high alert, advising residents to be proactive in evacuating until the situation improves.
In contrast, Wahab noted that Epe, Mushin, and Ikeja remain relatively safe for now, though he urged residents across the state to continue monitoring official updates and avoid complacency. Torrential Rains and Submerged Streets
The warning comes in the aftermath of heavy downpours that began on Sunday night, August 3, and continued through Monday, August 4, causing serious disruption in several parts of Lagos. Viral videos on social media showed vehicles stranded, homes submerged, and major roads waterlogged, particularly in the Ajah, Lekki, and Ikorodu corridors.
The floods have paralyzed business activities and commuter movement, further compounding the struggles of residents already dealing with economic hardship and poor infrastructure.
According to Wahab, the ongoing crisis was not unexpected. The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) had earlier projected that Lagos would experience heavier rainfall in 2024 compared to previous years, placing the coastal city at higher risk of seasonal flash floods.
“For those in the lowlands of Lagos, they must move to upland areas until the rain subsides,” Wahab advised.
Government Response and Infrastructure Plans
As part of mitigation efforts, Wahab explained that the Lagos State Government is expanding flood channels, clearing blocked drainages, and raising public awareness to curb the impact of the flooding.
“Lagos will be exposed to the vagaries of climate change, and that means flash flooding is inevitable,” Wahab said. “But as a government, we must provide resilient infrastructure and urge our people to act responsibly.”
He acknowledged the limitations of government efforts in the face of extreme weather but reaffirmed the administration’s commitment to reducing flood damage and protecting both lives and property.
“We won’t lie to Lagosians,” Wahab added. “If nature takes its course, our job is to reduce the impact.”
He urged residents to cooperate with officials, heed evacuation orders, and report blocked drainages or unregulated building practices, which often contribute to flooding in urban areas. Conclusion
As Lagos battles another wave of environmental distress, the government’s call to action highlights the urgency of climate adaptation and community cooperation. With the rainy season still ongoing, many hope that preventive relocation and ongoing infrastructure work will reduce the devastation typically associated with Lagos flooding.
"If Buhari Was a Failure, Tinubu Is a Disaster" – Ex-Minister Adamu Waziri Blasts APC Government
Former Minister of Police Affairs, Adamu Maina Waziri, has launched a scathing criticism against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, describing it as a “disastrous catastrophe” when compared to the much-criticized regime of former President Muhammadu Buhari. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
Speaking in an interview on Trust TV, the chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) didn’t hold back in expressing his frustration over what he termed as the complete failure of the current government across multiple sectors.
“If the Buhari government was a failure, the Tinubu government in the last two years is a disastrous catastrophe,” Waziri declared.
The former minister pointed to worsening insecurity, economic hardship, and a toothless anti-corruption fight as key areas in which the Tinubu-led administration has disappointed Nigerians.
“It has failed in all ramifications, and the country has regressed,” he added.
Waziri expressed disbelief that despite the country’s current struggles, some individuals — including those whose communities are under siege by bandits — continue to publicly endorse the current government.
“I am surprised that people whose local governments are under the control of bandits can appear on national television to endorse this government,” he said, referencing ongoing security challenges in several northern states.
The remarks come amid growing public criticism of the Tinubu administration, especially over its handling of economic reforms, such as the removal of fuel subsidies, the floating of the naira, and the spiraling cost of living. Inflation continues to soar, with food prices and transportation costs affecting millions of ordinary Nigerians.
Additionally, critics have raised concerns about the apparent lack of accountability, citing allegations of corruption, the controversial pardon of former officials, and perceived selective justice.
While Buhari’s presidency (2015–2023) was widely condemned for its slow response to insecurity and poor economic policies, Waziri suggests that Tinubu has failed to even meet those low standards, indicating a sharp regression in governance, trust, and national stability.
Waziri’s blunt assessment echoes sentiments from a growing number of civil society groups, opposition parties, and citizens who argue that Nigeria is witnessing deepening hardship and disillusionment, just over a year into Tinubu’s tenure.
As a veteran politician and influential voice from the North, Waziri’s words carry weight, particularly in shaping northern political discourse and opposition momentum. His comments may further stoke debate ahead of the 2027 general elections, especially as the Tinubu administration continues to battle legitimacy issues and declining approval ratings.
The presidency has not yet responded to Waziri’s comments, but analysts expect that the statement may trigger strong political reactions from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), whose supporters have consistently defended Tinubu’s policies as necessary “painful but strategic reforms.”
For many Nigerians, however, the gap between promise and performance continues to widen — fueling protests, online dissent, and calls for urgent change.
“He Sent Her Packing!” – UK-Based Nigerian Man Allegedly Deports Wife After Sponsoring Her Relocation Abroad
A trending story on social media has left many Nigerians stunned after a lady recounted how a UK-based Nigerian man allegedly deported his wife back to Nigeria after personally sponsoring her relocation to the United Kingdom. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
The story, shared by a witness online, reveals the shocking twist in a marriage that initially seemed full of hope and sacrifice. The man, whose identity remains undisclosed, reportedly spent a significant amount of money and effort to process his wife’s visa and relocation, only to later pull the plug on her stay in the UK.
According to the narrator, trouble began shortly after the woman settled in the UK and began changing her attitude, allegedly showing signs of disrespect and entitlement. The husband, fed up with her behavior, took legal steps to revoke her stay, resulting in her deportation back to Nigeria. Social Media Divided Over the Story
As expected, Nigerians on X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and TikTok are in heated debates over the morality and legality of the man’s actions. While some praised him for setting boundaries, others condemned the move as extreme and heartless.
@NaijaJusticeQueen: “So you mean to tell me this man went through visa stress and still had the heart to deport his own wife? Nah, that’s wickedness!”
@OdogwuPapi: “Sometimes women forget who stood by them. If she changed attitude after landing UK, she deserves am.”
@LagosDiaries: “UK no be Ojuelegba. If you misbehave and your sponsor is your spouse, anything can happen.”
A Growing Trend?
This isn’t the first time such a story has surfaced involving marriages and migration fallout. With more Nigerians relocating abroad, some men and women have reportedly faced betrayal, infidelity, or disrespect from the same partners they supported through immigration.
According to relationship counselor Dr. Alex Okoro, “What we’re seeing is a growing disconnect between couples when one partner suddenly feels empowered or more independent after relocation. Sponsorship doesn’t always equal loyalty.” Final Thoughts
While many details of the case remain unverified, it highlights an important reality: relationships and relocation don’t always mix well. Whether the man’s decision was justified or not, the story has stirred a nationwide conversation about trust, entitlement, and the risks of mixing love with immigration sponsorship.
Oshodi Lady Who Sponsored Boyfriend Through School Gets Dumped for Educated Woman”
“I Paid His School Fees, He Married Another Woman” – Oshodi Underbridge Trader Shares Emotional Story of Betrayal and Resilience
A young Nigerian woman who sells goods under the Oshodi bridge has gone viral after sharing her heartbreaking story of betrayal by a man she once loved and financially supported through university. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
In a TikTok video shared by user @ekaftv, the unidentified woman revealed that she sponsored her boyfriend’s education with her hard-earned money, only for him to later dump her and marry another woman—all because she wasn’t “educated.”
“I sell market in Oshodi under bridge, I’m from Ikorodu. I’m not a trenches babe. There’s a time I was dating a boy in Ikorodu, he left me to wed another woman,” she narrated. “I gave him money, I paid his school fees. I was warned but I didn’t tell all my friends. I was heartbroken and moved on, and I came on to Oshodi to sell goods.”
According to her, she often sent him ₦50,000 or ₦20,000 to support him while he was in school. She was deeply committed to the relationship but was devastated when he broke up with her and married someone who was more educated. “My Market Is My Relationship Now”
Despite the betrayal, she remains strong and focused on building her life through her small business. She says she’s given up on love for now and is committed to her hustle.
“As I dey like this, I don cross my heart, I no fit love any guy again. Na my market be my relationship for now. The market dey give me joy. If I want to buy anything, I’ll buy with the money from my market profit.”
She also shared that she’s the only daughter in her family and has taken on the responsibility of sponsoring her four brothers through school after losing both parents. Despite all odds, she refuses to do hookup or any illicit trade and continues to find dignity in her hustle. Social Media Reactions
Her story has stirred a wave of reactions on social media, with many expressing empathy and admiration for her resilience:
@eyinjuolodumare: “God almighty will surely send help to her ijmn. I really pity her.”
@Heineken Odogwu Jr.: “She is a very good girl, training her siblings. Not all street hustlers are bad.”
@mohanisa3: “This same thing happened to me two years ago. I can feel her pain.”
However, not all comments were sympathetic. Some users made light of the situation, sparking a wider conversation on how women’s sacrifices in relationships are often taken for granted. Final Thoughts
This young woman’s story is a painful reminder of the risks some women take in relationships, especially when love blinds them to red flags. But it’s also a powerful testimony of strength, hustle, and hope. She continues to strive for a better life and remains hopeful that one day, a man who sees her true worth will come along.
“My Grandfather, Fela Died Poor” – Made Kuti Opens Up on Shocking Truth Behind Afrobeat Legend’s Life
In a heartfelt and revealing interview, Made Kuti, grandson of the legendary Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo Kuti, has shocked fans by stating that the music icon died poor, despite his global fame and legacy. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
Speaking on the Tea With Tay podcast hosted by Taymesan, Made shared deep insights about his grandfather’s life, shedding light on the harsh financial reality behind the music legend’s bold persona.
“He was broke. Fela died poor,” Made stated. “He made the kind of money that could have bought a whole street. But when he came back from shows, he’d open a box of cash and say, ‘Anybody that needs, take.’ His house was an open house. Anybody could walk in.”
The Price of Generosity
According to Made, Fela’s communal lifestyle and extreme generosity meant that money never stayed in his hands. His Kalakuta Republic was a haven for artists, activists, and the less privileged—but it came at a cost.
“His children weren’t even allowed to call him ‘dad’ or give him any special titles,” Made explained. “Everyone was equal. But that lifestyle took a toll on the family.”
Legacy of Pain and Art
Made also pointed out that while bearing the Kuti name opens doors in the music industry, it doesn’t shield one from the brutal honesty of performance art.
“Music is one of the worst professions for nepotism,” he said. “If I get on stage and I’m not good, you’ll know. You can’t fake it.”
He further revealed that Fela used music as a weapon against oppression.
“Every time he was jailed or beaten, he came back with a stronger song. Songs like ‘Zombie’ and ‘Suffering and Smiling’ were born from pain.”
A Legacy Rejected Before Loved
One of the most poignant moments came when Made recounted how Fela was largely rejected in Nigeria toward the end of his life, only to be celebrated after his death.
“By ’96, ’97, people weren’t speaking positively about him anymore. Then he died, and millions showed up for his funeral,” he recalled. “They said no one would come to Tafawa Balewa Square, but the place was full. It was all aired on TV.”
Final Thoughts
Fela Anikulapo Kuti, who passed away on August 2, 1997, remains a powerful symbol of activism, music, and resilience. But as Made Kuti’s revelations show, fame does not always equal fortune, and true greatness often comes at a personal cost.

“Naira Marley surprised me on my birthday with a lot of money. I was shocked. The encouragement he gave to me—nobody has ever given it to me,” Angela said in the video, expressing sincere gratitude.
Angela Okorie Defends Her Relationship with Naira Marley
In her statement, Angela emphasized that her collaboration and interaction with Naira Marley stemmed purely from appreciation. She stressed that her relationship with the singer was based on gratitude for the kindness he showed her, not influenced by any controversies currently surrounding him.
“I will never lie, Naira Marley was too nice to me. He’s a very quiet person and he doesn’t even talk much,” she added.
The actress made it clear that her visit to Naira Marley’s residence after the birthday surprise was solely to thank him for his heartfelt gesture, which she described as uplifting and unforgettable.
Naira Marley’s Controversies and Public Image
It’s important to note that Naira Marley has been at the center of public backlash following allegations linking him to the untimely death of rising music star Mohbad. Although investigations are ongoing, the cloud of controversy has significantly affected the singer’s public image and affiliations within the entertainment industry.
Despite the ongoing criticisms, Angela Okorie’s comments offer a different perspective—portraying Naira Marley as a supportive and kind individual, at least in her personal experience. This comes at a time when public opinion remains divided, with many fans and celebrities choosing to distance themselves from the singer.
Reactions from Fans and the Entertainment Community
Angela’s revelation has sparked mixed reactions online. While some fans praised her honesty and loyalty, others questioned the timing of her support, given the sensitive nature of the allegations involving Naira Marley.
Social media users have taken to platforms like Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) to express varying opinions, with some commending Angela for speaking her truth and others urging caution when discussing figures currently under investigation.
A Reminder About Public Judgment
Angela Okorie’s remarks serve as a reminder that celebrity relationships are often more nuanced than they appear. While public sentiment may lean one way, personal experiences can tell a different story. Her testimony may not absolve Naira Marley of legal scrutiny, but it sheds light on his interactions beyond the public spotlight.
Our Pensions Are Miserable" – IGP Egbetokun Petitions Senate, Demands Police Exit from Contributory Pension Scheme
The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, has formally petitioned the Nigerian Senate, demanding the immediate removal of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) from the existing Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS). This strategic move follows a wave of nationwide protests by retired police personnel, who have voiced long-standing discontent over the poor remuneration structure associated with the CPS. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
In a letter dated July 25, 2025, and officially received by the Office of the Senate President on July 29, the IGP made a compelling appeal to Senate President Godswill Akpabio, urging swift legislative action to amend the extant pension laws governing the NPF. The letter has since surfaced on social media after being leaked by human rights activist and politician Omoyele Sowore, who characterized the IGP’s appeal as performative and lacking genuine commitment.
A Systemic Crisis in Police Retirement Benefits
The IGP’s letter articulates the institutional hardship imposed on police retirees by the current CPS structure. In a strongly worded plea, Egbetokun described the situation as “deeply troubling and demoralizing,” emphasizing that the retirement benefits accruing to ex-police officers are “abysmally low and inadequate to meet even their most basic needs.”
Quoting directly from the letter:
“Most retired officers of the Nigeria Police Force live in conditions that are not only unacceptable but humiliating, given the sacrifices they made in service to the nation. Their monthly pension under the CPS is grossly inadequate.”
The letter continued:
“The debilitating impact of the CPS on police morale and institutional cohesion cannot be overstated. We must act swiftly to restore dignity to our retired officers.”
Retirees Stage Mass Protest at National Assembly
The IGP’s letter comes against the backdrop of organized demonstrations led by retired police officers across Abuja, including protests staged at the Force Headquarters and National Assembly Complex. Chanting slogans and carrying placards, the retirees called for urgent intervention by the Federal Government, citing the Contributory Pension Act 2014 as a framework that has failed to address their welfare post-service.
One retired officer stated:
“After 35 years of risking our lives for this country, we are rewarded with peanuts. Some of our colleagues can’t even afford basic healthcare.”
Mixed Reactions: Is the Letter Enough?
While some see the IGP’s intervention as timely and necessary, others, including Omoyele Sowore, have criticized the move as a deliberate distraction to temper rising tensions among active and retired officers.
“It is a calculated attempt to calm the anger—not a genuine reform move,” Sowore posted via his verified handle, urging retirees to demand legislative action, not bureaucratic appeasement.
Despite the skepticism, IGP Egbetokun assured protesters that the Force Management is in active discussions with National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, and other key stakeholders to resolve the pension crisis holistically.
“There are administrative efforts already in progress,” the IGP noted, “but these will not be disclosed prematurely to avoid jeopardizing their effectiveness.”
Awaiting Official Response
As of press time, the Nigeria Police Force has not issued a formal statement regarding the leaked petition. Inquiries made to Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, remain unanswered.
This development adds further pressure on the National Assembly to revisit the legislative framework of Nigeria’s pension system, especially as it pertains to high-risk uniformed services like the police.
Abroad Based Nigerian Wife Lures Alleged Side Chick Using Husband’s Phone in Viral Drama
A dramatic confrontation has surfaced online involving a Nigerian woman based abroad, who allegedly set up and confronted her husband’s suspected side chick in Nigeria using his mobile phone. The shocking incident has sparked massive reactions on social media, with many Nigerians weighing in on the escalating trend of infidelity scandals and relationship drama. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
The altercation reportedly took place during one of the wife’s visits to Nigeria. According to sources close to the situation, the wife had grown increasingly suspicious of her husband’s behavior during her stays in the country. Her instincts led her to check his mobile phone, where she allegedly discovered a string of intimate messages and chats exchanged between her husband and another woman.
The Trap: How the Wife Set Up the Alleged Mistress
Rather than confront her husband immediately, the wife devised a plan. She took over her husband’s chat with the suspected side chick and continued the conversation, posing as the husband. After gaining the woman’s trust, she arranged a private meeting location — unknowingly setting the stage for a face-to-face showdown.
The unsuspecting woman arrived at the agreed location, believing she was meeting the man she had allegedly been involved with. To her shock, she was instead confronted by the furious wife, who unleashed a verbal assault, accusing her of having repeated sexual encounters with her husband whenever she traveled back to her base abroad.
Tension Escalates as Wig Snatching Goes Viral
Eyewitness reports confirmed that the confrontation quickly turned physical. In a burst of anger, the wife allegedly snatched the woman’s wig, revealing her natural hair. The act of wig-pulling — often seen as a public form of humiliation — drew gasps from onlookers and fueled the viral nature of the event.
Feeling exposed and fearing for her safety, the alleged mistress fled the scene amidst insults and shouts from the scorned wife. Bystanders who caught parts of the altercation on video shared clips online, which have since gone viral across platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter).
A Larger Conversation on Trust in Relationships
This dramatic episode is one of many recent stories exposing the challenges faced by couples in long-distance and diaspora marriages. Issues like infidelity, secrecy, and lack of communication continue to plague relationships where one partner resides abroad.

“Let’s avoid unverified rumors that can incite panic or trigger reprisal attacks. Both nations must maintain calm,” she advised.
Diplomatic Channels Activated
The NIDCOM boss reassured Nigerians that the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs is already in touch with Ghanaian authorities, working to de-escalate tensions and protect Nigerians’ rights abroad.
She praised the Ghanaian and Nigerian High Commissions for acting promptly to prevent further hostilities and urged citizens of both countries to avoid violence, hate speech, or xenophobic attacks.
“I’m Still Here” – Asisat Oshoala Shuts Down Retirement Rumours After WAFCON Victory
Super Falcons star striker, Asisat Oshoala, has firmly denied rumors that she is retiring from international football following Nigeria’s thrilling 3-2 win over Morocco in the final of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON). Eyes Of Lagos reports,
Speaking to reporters in Morocco, the six-time African Women’s Player of the Year dismissed the speculation as unfounded and baseless.

“I’ll Find Land in Abuja and Build New ‘Befitting’ APC National Secretariat” – Tinubu
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has announced plans to build a new national secretariat for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja.
Speaking during the 14th APC National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held at the State House Conference Centre on Thursday, July 24, Tinubu stressed the need for a modern and befitting headquarters for the ruling party. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
“We’ll look for an appropriate land to build a befitting secretariat,” the president declared.
However, Tinubu did not disclose how much will be spent on the proposed project. Current APC Secretariat
At present, the party operates from the Muhammadu Buhari House, located at 40 Blantyre Street, Wuse II, Abuja. The building, named in honor of former President Muhammadu Buhari, was acquired in 2021 after the APC reportedly paid ₦2.5 billion for the property.
Interestingly, while the last NEC meeting was held at the Buhari House, Thursday’s emergency session took place at the Presidential Villa—a move some analysts interpret as a sign of the need for a more suitable and functional venue for party activities.
Buhari Proved It’s Possible to Lead Without Corruption” – Osinbajo Praises Former President
Former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has praised the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, describing his time in office as proof that leadership can be rooted in integrity, honesty, and transparency.
Speaking at the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Executive Council meeting on Thursday, Osinbajo said Buhari’s administration showed that public service can be carried out with values and principles. Eyes Of Lagos reports, “Buhari Served Faithfully” – Osinbajo
“I want to say that, in the end, service to our country is perhaps the most important attribute of all,” Osinbajo said. “He served faithfully for many years. He proved that you can serve honestly, forthrightly, with transparency and integrity.”
Osinbajo described Buhari as a faithful public servant, consistent in character, grounded in discipline, patriotism, and a deep commitment to Nigeria’s progress. Buhari the ‘Convicted Democrat’
The former vice-president highlighted Buhari’s democratic journey, recalling how he transitioned from a military ruler to a devoted democrat who respected due process.
“President Muhammadu Buhari will be remembered first as a convicted democrat,” Osinbajo said. “He contested and lost presidential elections three times, but instead of walking away, he sought justice through the courts—attending every single proceeding until the matter was resolved. He finally won in 2015.”
Osinbajo praised Buhari’s respect for the rule of law, love for democracy, and loyalty to the APC, noting that he upheld the standards the party was founded on.
“He wanted a country that was united, believed in itself, and was successful in every way,” he added.
Osinbajo concluded by thanking God for Buhari’s years of service and the values he upheld throughout his life.
Pilot Explains What Really Happens If You Don’t Put Your Phone on Airplane Mode While Flying
A commercial pilot has taken to TikTok to clear up a popular misconception about why passengers are told to switch their phones to airplane mode during flights. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
In a viral video posted by TikTok user @PerchPoint, the pilot described the rule as “not a conspiracy theory” but an important precaution that supports flight safety. “Your Phone Won’t Crash the Plane, But It Can Cause Problems”
The pilot began by clarifying that failing to enable airplane mode won’t make a plane fall out of the sky, but it can create serious interference for pilots.
“Putting your phone on airplane mode won’t stop the plane from flying,” he said, “but it does help prevent annoying interference in the cockpit.”
He explained that when multiple devices try to connect to cell towers mid-flight, they emit radio waves that can interfere with pilots’ headsets.
“I once heard this loud buzzing in my headset — like a mosquito flying around my ear — while trying to land the plane,” he recounted. “It made it hard to hear critical instructions from air traffic control.”
Why Airplane Mode Really Matters
Though it may sound harmless, the buzzing interference can be distracting during critical phases of flight, such as take-off and landing, when communication with air traffic control is essential.
According to Travel and Leisure, most aviation accidents occur during these high-focus moments, making clear audio transmissions vital for flight safety.
In short, airplane mode is less about preventing crashes and more about ensuring smooth, uninterrupted communication for the crew.
“It’s a simple act of courtesy,” the pilot added, “that helps everyone on board — including us in the cockpit — stay focused and safe.”
Former Super Eagles striker, Brown Ideye, has publicly called out Enyimba FC over alleged unpaid match bonuses from the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.
The ex-international, who currently plays for the Aba-based club, took to his official X (formerly Twitter) page to express his frustration, claiming that both he and his teammates have not been paid since the end of last season. Eyes Of Lagos reports, **“Pay Me and the Players” – Ideye
In his post, Ideye wrote:
“Because I get money, I should not ask for the one I worked for? Please pay me and the players last season’s match bonuses. @EnyimbaFC, the season ended in May, till now nothing. Next season will start next month.”
The 35-year-old striker, who previously played in top European leagues, emphasized that financial stability for players is crucial, regardless of their personal wealth. N7,000 Daily Meal Allowance Revelation
This call-out comes just days after Ideye revealed that Enyimba FC paid players only ₦7,000 per day for meals throughout the 2024/2025 NPFL campaign, a revelation that sparked outrage among fans and football stakeholders.
Enyimba FC, one of Nigeria’s most successful clubs, is yet to officially respond to the allegations as of press time.
A renewed communal conflict between the Mbazarem community in Vandeikya Local Government Area (Benue State) and the Abonkip community in Obudu Local Government Area (Cross River State) has claimed another life, with a commercial driver stoned to death in Obudu Township. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
The victim, identified as Agage Iorkyaa Ternenge, was reportedly attacked by hoodlums on Friday, July 18, 2025, while delivering a waybill to Obudu. A viral video circulating on social media shows the harrowing moment a mob stoned him to death. Benue Chairman Confirms Attack
The Chairman of Vandeikya LGA, Dennis Guda, confirmed the killing in a statement issued through his media aide, Gbaa Nguuma, on Sunday. He explained that the crisis erupted after sporadic gunfire allegedly initiated by Abonkip youths over a long-standing land dispute.
“On the morning of Friday, July 18, we received reports of gunfire from the Abonkip side of the disputed border. When I arrived with security operatives, I observed large-scale destruction of crops worth millions of naira on the Mbazarem side, reportedly a reprisal attack by Abonkip youths,” Guda said.
Guda further revealed that he narrowly escaped being hit by stray bullets during his peace mission. Crisis Escalates to Obudu Township
The violence worsened on Saturday, July 19, as armed groups were seen parading the streets of Obudu, allegedly targeting Tiv residents of Benue origin. Many students of the Federal College of Education (Degree Program) and the School of Nursing, as well as traders, were forced to flee for safety.
In a coordinated rescue mission, Chairman Guda supervised the evacuation of Benue indigenes who had sought refuge at the Obudu Central Police Station. He also facilitated the safe return of Obudu indigenes living in volatile areas of Vandeikya to prevent retaliatory attacks.
Joint Security Intervention
A joint security meeting involving police and military officers from both states was held, urging both communities to embrace peace. However, hostilities reportedly resumed shortly after the meeting, with accusations of violating the “Bush Peace Accord.” Police Confirm Death, Call for Calm
The Benue State Police Command Public Relations Officer, DSP Udeme Edet, confirmed the incident, adding that the chairmen of both local governments had met to address the crisis.
“Yes, I am aware that the chairmen of the two local government areas have met and resolved the crisis,” he said.
Meanwhile, Chairman Guda has urged residents to remain calm, assuring that discussions with his Obudu counterpart are ongoing to restore peace.
"IVD Had Nothing When I Met Him" – Blessing CEO Speaks on Relationship with Auto Dealer
Controversial Nigerian relationship therapist, Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, has opened up about her relationship with popular auto dealer Ikechukwu Ogbonna, better known as IVD. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
Speaking on the latest episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, Blessing CEO revealed that contrary to public opinion, she met IVD when he had lost almost everything—both emotionally and financially. “IVD Was at His Lowest When I Met Him” – Blessing CEO
Blessing CEO clarified that her relationship with IVD was not motivated by his wealth or luxury lifestyle.
“When I met him, a lot was already gone. Everything people believed about his luxury life had disappeared. I didn’t meet the ‘rich IVD’ that everyone talks about,” she said.
IVD, who was also on the podcast, recounted how his late wife Bimbo’s family allegedly stripped him of his properties during his detention following the investigation into Bimbo’s controversial death.
“My in-laws dealt with me. I was in detention for over three weeks, and during that time, they moved into my house and carted away almost everything. Three cars were taken from my compound, along with my watches, designer clothes, jewelry, and even my late wife’s clothes and wigs. I had spent about ₦7 million on shopping before that, and they took it all,” IVD claimed. Public Backlash Over Blessing CEO and IVD’s Relationship
Blessing CEO’s relationship with IVD has sparked heated criticism on social media, especially because she was one of the first public figures to call for justice after Bimbo’s death, only to later start dating the same man.
Despite the controversy, the couple appears unbothered and is reportedly making plans for their upcoming wedding. Blessing CEO’s Troubled Past
In a previous interview, Blessing CEO revealed that she was groomed by her ex-husband, whom she married at the age of 14, describing her first marriage as an escape from a troubled childhood.
“I was just a child; I knew nothing about marriage. I only saw marriage as a way to escape my situation,” she admitted.
The Federal High Court, Abuja, has granted bail to two promoters of the collapsed investment platform, Crypto Bridge Exchange (CBEX), in the sum of ₦10 million each.
Justice Mohammed Umar granted bail to Awerosuo Otorudo and Chukwuebuka Ehirim with two sureties each in like sum. The sureties must own properties within the court’s jurisdiction, which will be verified by the court registrar. The trial was adjourned to October 13, 2025. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
This decision followed their July 7 bail application, which had been opposed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Charges Against the CBEX Promoters
The EFCC arraigned the defendants on an amended three-count charge (FHC/ABJ/CR/216/2025) bordering on:
illegal financial operations
obtaining public funds under false pretenses
promising returns of up to 88% without regulatory approval
Bail Application of ST Technologies MD Pending
In a related case, Adefowora Abiodun, Managing Director of ST Technologies International Limited, is seeking bail on medical grounds. Abiodun, who has been in EFCC custody for 80 days, claims he requires urgent eye surgery.
Abiodun and his company are facing an eight-count charge (FHC/ABJ/CR/215/2025) linked to the alleged CBEX scam. His counsel, Babatunde Busari, urged the court to grant bail on liberal terms, but EFCC counsel Fatsuma Mohammed opposed, citing flight risk concerns. Justice Umar adjourned ruling on his bail to July 25. Background: CBEX Investment Scam
CBEX allegedly defrauded investors of over $1 billion, promising unrealistic returns of up to 100% and instructing victims to convert digital assets into USDT for deposit into suspects’ wallets.
The EFCC claims the suspects abandoned their known addresses in Lagos and Ogun States after the platform crashed. Investigations revealed that ST Technologies was registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission but not licensed by the Securities and Exchange Commission to conduct investment operations.
Nigerian TikTok stars Jarvis and Peller have officially confirmed their engagement, months after sparking speculation with a controversial livestream proposal in December 2024.
The 23-year-old content creator, who initially dismissed Peller’s public proposal as nothing more than a “promise ring,” has now revealed that the couple is indeed engaged—though marriage plans remain on hold for now. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
From Denial to Confirmation
During a recent interview with Channels TV, Jarvis opened up about the relationship, admitting she was initially hesitant. “I believe we will get married at the right time. Marriage is a big step, so you have to be careful,” she said. “But yes, we are engaged. Peller actually proposed—and honestly, it surprised me too.”
She also addressed why she hasn’t been seen wearing the engagement ring, explaining, “It didn’t fit my finger, so I decided to keep it safe at home instead.” Love Beyond Social Media Personas
Jarvis confessed that she never expected to be romantically involved with Peller, given their contrasting online personalities. “I didn’t think we’d match at all,” she admitted. “But offline, he’s completely different—a really cool person. This whole experience taught me not to judge people based on social media.”
The couple’s relationship has been a hot topic among fans, especially after Peller, 19, went live with his dramatic proposal last year. While Jarvis initially played it off, her latest confession confirms that their bond has grown stronger behind the scenes. What’s Next for the Couple?
Though wedding plans aren’t immediate, Jarvis hinted that marriage is definitely in the cards—once the time is right. For now, fans can expect more adorable (and possibly chaotic) content from one of Nigeria’s most talked-about TikTok pairs.

The Ondo State Police Command has confirmed the death of Oladele Femi, the prime suspect in the abduction and murder of two Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA) students. Femi, popularly known as “Tallex”, reportedly died in the hospital after developing a sudden illness while in police custody. Eyes Of Lagos reports, Suspect’s Death Confirmed
Police spokesperson DSP Olushola Ayanlade stated: “Yes, he is dead. He had been under medical supervision since his arrest and had been in and out of the hospital. He passed away yesterday.”
Femi was the landlord of one of the victims, John Abba, and had allegedly confessed to orchestrating the kidnapping and killing of Abba and his female friend, Eloho Okah, who went missing on June 20, 2025.
Gruesome Details of the Crime
Eloho Okah’s decomposing body has been recovered.
John Abba’s remains are still missing, with search efforts ongoing.

The tragic incident has sparked outrage, with calls for justice for the slain students and stricter measures to prevent such crimes in university communities.
The London Clinic, one of the United Kingdom’s most exclusive private hospitals, has come under the spotlight following the death of Nigeria’s former President, Muhammadu Buhari, at the facility last Sunday.
Buhari and former Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, were both admitted in the hospital. While Abubakar got well and was discharged, Buhari passed on on Sunday, July 13, 2025.
According to his nephew, Mamman Daura, Buhari was in high spirits as of Saturday, July 12 and was getting ready for discharge before he suffered a relapse at midday on Sunday.
“I left him about 9 pm on Saturday in high spirits and promised to see him on Sunday afternoon. He was looking forward to his doctor’s visit on Sunday morning. But around midday, he started having breathing challenges and doctors rushed to his side to try and manage it. But unfortunately, around 4.30 pm, he gave up the ghost,” Daura told ThisDay.
Buhari was reported to have travelled to the UK in April for a routine medical check-up, but subsequently fell ill.
The cause of death was not disclosed, but he had suffered from ill-health for many years.
According to family sources, Buhari, during his admission at The London Clinic, spent time at the Intensive Care Unit.
His death was announced by his former spokesperson, Mallam Garba Shehu, on Sunday afternoon.
Shehu said, “The family of the former president has announced the passing of the former President, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, this afternoon in a clinic in London. May Allah accept him in Aljannatul Firdaus.”
Shortly after news of his death broke, videos emerged online showing the former President’s children and other relatives visiting The London Clinic, situated in the heart of London’s medical district on Harley Street, where he was reportedly undergoing treatment before his passing.
While the exact duration of the former President’s stay at the hospital remains unknown, reports indicate that Buhari had been in London since April for a routine medical check-up.
The London Clinic
Founded in 1932, The London Clinic is one of the largest private hospitals in the UK, best known for its expertise in cancer care, digestive health, orthopaedics, and plastic and cosmetic surgeries.
From the information on its website, the facility boasts 13 intensive care beds, 10 operating theatres, five Macmillan Cancer Support Centres, approximately 900 surgeons and physicians and attends to over 120,000 patients across the world annually.
The hospital’s areas of speciality include: cancer care, haematology, orthopaedics with a focus on spinal surgery, as well as gastroenterology, general surgery, ophthalmology, ENT, neurosurgery, robotic surgery, minimally invasive surgery, and intensive care.
The London Clinic has treated thousands of patients from around the world, among them political leaders and members of the British royal family.
In the hospital’s 2021 annual financial report seen by Saturday PUNCH, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Hamish Leslie Melville, said, “Our team of over 900 leading consultants, surgeons and physicians provide an extensive range of medical and surgical interventions. Our medical inpatient and outpatient treatments focus on three core areas: cancer therapies, general surgery with a focus on digestive diseases, and musculoskeletal conditions.”
Speaking with Saturday PUNCH on condition of anonymity for personal reasons, a UK-based Nigerian doctor familiar with the hospital’s operations, described it as one with advanced facilities, a high-profile clientele, and world-class medical expertise.
According to him, patients pay between £100 and £750 for consultations, depending on the complexity of their case.
The Nigerian doctor, who said he knew two fellow Nigerian doctors who once worked at the hospital, said he is aware that a Computed Tomography scan (CT Scan) at the hospital costs around £500, while major surgeries range from £10,000 to £13,000.
“In terms of accommodation, the pricing structure is also tiered. A standard room goes for £1,000 to £1,800 per night. Luxury/VIP room is between £1,800 to £2,500 per night; while the Intensive Care Unit admission costs about £3,000 to £3,500 per night,” he said.
However, according to a study by the National Institutes of Health seen by Saturday PUNCH, the cost of a bed space at the general ward is around £586.59 per bed day.
“These costs may not include other potential fees or charges associated with your specific treatment plan,” the report noted.
“The clinic is known for its advanced equipment, specialist services, and highly qualified professionals. It’s a facility designed for complex and high-risk cases,” he added.
The doctor said the two respected Nigerian specialists who used to work at the hospital were an orthopaedic surgeon and a respiratory consultant.
Another UK-based Nigerian doctor told Saturday PUNCH that the hospital’s high standard of care comes at a premium.
According to the female doctor, the clinic caters mainly to the super-rich, adding that patients are charged thousands of pounds daily for specialised services, particularly in intensive care and private suites, where discretion, luxury, and top-tier medical attention are guaranteed.
“It is the best and largest private clinic in the United Kingdom. It deals with surgery, robotic surgery, ENT surgery, plastic surgery, and the best in specialised services,” she said.
She added that the hospital is equipped with advanced da Vinci Xi, ExcelsiusGPS, NAVIO robotic surgical technology, 3 T Siemens MRI, multiple CT scanners, PET-CT, ultrasound, digital mammography and other cutting-edge diagnostic systems.
In terms of staffing and expertise, the doctor said, “The clinic boasts an impressive roster of professionals with renowned specialist consultants, many of whom are Fellows of the Royal College of Surgeons and hold additional high-level certifications.”
Mother Recounts How She Discovered Her 18-Year-Old House Help Sexually Abusing Her 1-Year-Old Son
A Nigerian mother has opened up about catching her 18-year-old domestic worker molesting her one-year-old son—a horrifying revelation she made after trusting her instincts one sleepless night. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
In a widely circulated video, the mother is seen calmly questioning the young girl, confirming her name and age before detailing how she uncovered the abuse.
She explained that while the house help had always seemed trustworthy and attentive with her children, an unexplained unease kept her awake that night. Deciding to act on her suspicion, she reviewed the CCTV footage in her home to observe how her children were being cared for in her absence.
What she saw left her devastated. The footage allegedly showed the helper removing her toddler’s diaper and engaging in explicit sexual acts with him.
Sharing her ordeal as a cautionary tale, the mother urged other parents to remain vigilant, stressing the importance of monitoring caregivers—even when no red flags are apparent.
The video has since ignited widespread outrage on social media, with many demanding greater accountability and stricter safeguards in domestic childcare arrangements.
You Can’t Declare Me Wanted Like That!” – Speed Darlington Sues NAPTIP for ₦3 Billion
Self-acclaimed Energy God and viral rapper, Speed Darlington, is dragging the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) to court in a ₦3 billion lawsuit for allegedly violating his rights.
The eccentric entertainer claims that NAPTIP’s decision to declare him “wanted” without a court order is not only unlawful but also an abuse of his fundamental human rights. Eyes Of Lagos reports, 🧨 Why NAPTIP Declared Speedy Wanted
The drama started on June 27, when NAPTIP named Speed Darlington wanted over allegations of:
Rape
Cyberbullying
Cyberstalking
The trigger? Darlington posted an explosive video online where he claimed to have had sexual relations with a 15-year-old girl. Following outrage from the public and authorities, Speedy recanted, saying the story was fictional and meant for “clout.”
But NAPTIP didn’t find it funny. When he refused to appear for questioning, the agency went public and declared him wanted — and now Speedy is fighting back. 📄 What’s in the Lawsuit?
Filed at the Federal High Court, Abuja, Darlington’s suit demands:
₦1 billion in general damages
₦2 billion in punitive damages
5% interest monthly until fully paid
A public apology from NAPTIP
A court order to permanently restrain NAPTIP from acting on the “wanted” notice
“Declaring me wanted without a court order is ultra vires, unconstitutional, and degrading,” Darlington’s legal team argued.
🗣️ Nigerians React on X (formerly Twitter)
💬 @NaijaVibes__: “Speed Darlington sue who?? N3 billion?? This guy dey chase clout or justice??”
💬 @UncleChuks_: “If he really lied about the 15-year-old story, then NAPTIP should sue him back!”
💬 @EstherGlows: “It’s not by vibes and energy, Speedy. Na real human trafficking agency you dey sue o.” ⚖️ Legal Experts Divided
Some lawyers argue that NAPTIP overstepped its boundaries by issuing a public wanted notice without first obtaining a court order.
Others insist that Darlington’s viral confession alone could warrant public safety concerns, especially given Nigeria’s tough laws on child protection and cybercrime.
In a move that has stirred mixed reactions across the country, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has officially renamed the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) to Muhammadu Buhari University, in honour of the late former president. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
The announcement was made during a Federal Executive Council (FEC) session of tributes for the late President Buhari. Presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga confirmed the development in a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter):
“President Tinubu renames University of Maiduguri as MUHAMMADU Buhari University.”
🇳🇬 Buhari’s Legacy Cemented in Borno?
The decision to rename one of Nigeria’s most prominent northern universities after Buhari is seen by many as a bold move to immortalize his legacy, especially given Buhari’s long-standing ties to the northern region and his military roots.
Buhari, who passed away earlier this year, served as Nigeria’s President from 2015 to 2023, leaving behind a mixed bag of achievements and controversies—from security crackdowns and subsidy removals to economic challenges and the “Next Level” mantra. 🎓 What This Means for Students, Alumni, and the North
Rebranding UNIMAID as Muhammadu Buhari University has significant implications for current students and alumni. Many are already voicing concerns about the possible changes in school documentation, certificates, and institutional history.
Some social commentators argue that national universities should retain their original regional identity, while others say it is a deserved recognition for a two-term leader from the North. 💬 Nigerians React Online
As expected, social media platforms have exploded with hot takes:
“With insecurity still plaguing Borno, this is what we prioritize?” — @ZeeTheTruth on X
“It’s fitting. Buhari gave Nigeria 8 years of steady leadership. History will be kind.” — @ArewaPatriot
🧠 A Pattern of Renaming?
This isn’t the first time a sitting president has renamed national assets after past leaders. From Abuja Stadium renamed after Moshood Abiola to Airports renamed after key figures, Nigeria has a long tradition of using public institutions to honour political icons.
“I Left Lagos Girls for New York Girls” — Speed Darlington Brags Amid NAPTIP Scandal
Controversial rapper Speed Darlington is back in the news — but not for a new song. This time, it’s drama, escape, and… girl talk?
After being declared wanted by NAPTIP (National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons) over allegations of involvement with a minor, Speedy has reportedly fled Nigeria — straight to New York City. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
But rather than laying low, the US-based rapper jumped on Instagram Live with bold words:
“I left Lagos girls for New York girls. I thought they were better. These people dey do love. Our own people na ‘give me money, give me money’.”
The Internet? It went up in flames. 🔥 Reactions Trail the Rant
As expected, Nigerians had strong opinions:
@LifeOfALoneR40: “He said it all, Nigerian girls are only there for the money.”
@tsetseSBM: “Relocating to New York to chill won’t erase the fact that NAPTIP declared you wanted. Enjoy your time there, but you’ll still have to face the music.”
@donaldson20220: “Any Igbo person supporting you is a bast**d… we preach against this.”
@PraiseOluw97152: “This guy useless pass Portable.”
Whether you’re a fan or a critic, one thing is clear — Speed Darlington knows how to stay trending, for better or worse. 🧠 But Let’s Unpack This…
Yes, it’s entertaining, but the case carries weight:
NAPTIP doesn’t joke around. Being declared wanted is no small thing.
His public statements are damaging — both legally and culturally.
The generalisation of Nigerian women as “money-hungry” isn’t just unfair — it’s lazy. Nigeria, especially Lagos, is filled with hardworking women chasing success, not handouts.
🎤 Speed Darlington: Clown or Cautionary Tale?
From claiming he can win the presidency to calling himself the most fashionable Nigerian alive, Speedy is one of those public figures that blurs the line between satire and scandal.
But this time, it’s not just clout-chasing. With allegations of abuse, jokes hit different. 🎯 Final Note: Not All PR is Good PR
Speed Darlington might laugh now in New York, but reputation, especially in Nigeria’s celebrity circles, is harder to rebuild than it is to destroy. And when you mix legal issues with public arrogance, even your fans may start to disappear. 💬 What Do You Think?
Do you agree with Speedy’s take on Nigerian girls vs. New York girls?
Should fans separate the entertainment from the accusations?
In Nigeria, polygamy isn’t just a cultural norm in many communities — it sometimes finds its way into the personal lives of our biggest celebrities, including football stars. While the rest of the world may raise eyebrows, these Nigerian footballers have embraced the idea of “double the love” — and they’re not hiding it. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
This article highlights top Nigerian footballers who reportedly married more than one wife, based on verifiable reports, interviews, and news coverage. It’s not about gossip — it’s about cultural context, personal choices, and how these stars balance fame with family. ⚽ 1. Ahmed Musa: The Faithful Polygamist
Ahmed Musa is not just known for his blistering pace and goals for the Super Eagles — he’s also known for his transparent, polygamous lifestyle. After divorcing his first wife, Jamila, in 2017, Musa married Juliet Ejue the same year. Later, he reportedly married a second wife named Mariam in 2021, making his marriage a public representation of northern Nigerian Muslim culture, where polygamy is widely accepted.
He once said in a post:
“I’m a Muslim, and it’s allowed in my religion. I don’t hide my personal life.”
Whether you agree or not, the man owns it. ⚽ 2. Tijani Babangida: Silent, Steady, and Double Settled
Former Ajax star Tijani Babangida keeps a low profile, but it’s no secret he practices polygamy. A devout Muslim from the North, Tijani has maintained a peaceful household with his wives and children — no public drama, no tabloids. Just low-key family living.
He’s proof that even in fame, tradition runs deep. ⚽ 3. Obafemi Martins: Speed on the Field, Fast Off It Too
While Obagoal hasn’t confirmed marrying multiple wives, he’s known to have relationships with multiple women across borders. He fathered children with at least three women, including Ghanaian actress Abigail Barwuah (Mario Balotelli’s sister). His quiet lifestyle and refusal to feed gossip blogs have helped him fly under the radar, but the facts remain in plain sight. ⚽ 4. Haruna Babangida: Low-Key But Legendary
The younger brother of Tijani, Haruna Babangida’s football career started from Barcelona’s youth academy and took him across Europe. Though not as publicly visible as his brother, he’s also said to have embraced a polygamous lifestyle, quietly maintaining his personal life away from social media and paparazzi.
In a world where everyone shares everything, Haruna proves silence is a tactic too. ⚽ 5. Unconfirmed Rumors: Nwankwo Kanu & Others
While Kanu has always celebrated his wife Amara Kanu as his queen, the rumor mill occasionally throws his name into conversations about “other wives.” However, there’s no concrete evidence to support this — and Kanu himself has never indicated otherwise.
Still, it’s a reminder of how fame makes you a magnet for speculation. 📍Why It Matters: The Culture and Context Behind Polygamy in Nigerian Football
Polygamy in Nigeria isn’t always about fame or scandal. For many, it’s a spiritual or cultural practice rooted in tradition. Northern players like Musa and Babangida aren’t breaking the rules — they’re living according to them.
