Osazeidehen: My issue with Akpabio started on 8th of December, 2023. When myself and my husband visited Akwa Ibom for Senator Akpabio’s birthday. Akpabio was showing me around his house and was holding my hands with my husband following behind us when he said, he wants me to come and be spending special moments in his house. My husband heard him and later told me not to travel abroad alone or be with the Senate President alone — Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan on Arise TV Morning Show today
Thescrutinyng: Former presidential media aide, Dr. Reuben Abati may not be returning to Arise Television anytime soon as one of the anchors of daily breakfast programme ‘The Morning Show’.
In the recent episode of the programme, Abati has been replaced by Professor Anthony Kila, a globally renowned Jean Monnet Professor of Strategy and Development, raising speculations as to whether he has left the media organisation or has been drafted to a background role.
When contacted by TheScrutinyNG, a staff of Arise TV said Abati is on annual leave and will be returning soon.
“He has been on annual leave since February 11. I am not certain when he will return ”
However, another staff said Abati may not be returning to the programme “anytime soon”.
Many Nigerians have called for the removal of Abati from the show over his ‘bossy attitude’ and remarks to junior presenters on the show.
In 2022, Abati addressed a reporter of Arise TV, Mary Chindah as a ‘mannerless young people’ for addressing him by his first name on air.
Criticising Abati, Deji Bademosi, an award- winning journalist wrote said that journalists calling colleagues mannerless or any derogatory names on air is forbidden and violates the ethics, convention, tradition of broadcasting.
“So Reuben Abati was angry that a reporter called him by his first name on TV. What a shame! I think people like OGA Reuben with little or no background in broadcasting before now need to be schooled on the ethics and practice in broadcasting before they are put on TV as presenters. To refer to a reporter as mannerless because she called you by your first name on TV, when you were the presenter or studio anchor asking her questions, is so tactless and unprofessional. It simply shows Oga Reuben’s total ignorance of the ethics, convention, tradition etc of broadcasting”.
“If you want to be addressed as Oga, Chief or perhaps Dr, then pls stop presenting the show. I suppose he would also want the younger presenters on the show too to address him as Oga Reuben”.
In November 2024, Abati also had a spat with another anchor, Ojy Okpe over his remarks on Igbos allegedly not selling lands to strangers.
Commenting on what transpired, Azuka Onwuka, a public affairs analyst wrote “ Last week, when I saw the myriads of social media posts criticising newspaper columnist and TV presenter, Dr. Reuben Abati, over his comment on Arise TV on the issue of the Igbo not selling land to non-Igbo, I searched for the video and watched it in full to hear his exact words and understand the context. He was reacting to the praise Senate President Godswill Akpabio gave to the Igbo at the Night of Tributes for the late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah”.
“Because of the furore that followed Abati’s comment, it became part of Arise TV’s “Trending with Ojy Okpe” the next day. The anchor, Ms. Ojy Okpe, asked him for his comment on that, but Abati lost his cool and used the word “nonsense” twice on air, browbeat the anchor, and insisted that he made the comment in a certain context and would not repeat himself”.
They are still able to attack based on d money el rufai gave dem.D truth is kidnapping has dropped significantly in kaduna since el rufai left power especially in southern kaduna.Makes one begin to wonder if he was d sponsor all along
iLegendd: I wrote about this some days ago about my female friend who got newly employed by a responsible man whom everyone respects and and can vouch for as a levelheaded man who doesn't womanize. Also, he happens to be a married pastor.
I won't lie, this girl is smart, a graduate, beautiful, big hips and ass and a firm giant breast. She hates her breasts and wants a small one. That is her major insecurity.
Why didn't I date her? I don't forgive red flags, hence we're just friends with benefits, but only friends for now. She loves varieties.
This girl is ageless beauty and forever young. At age 25 going to 26, even 17 year old boys approach her thinking she's in their age bracket. Na wetin wrinkleless ajebo kind of face dey cause.
On Monday, she went to work with my key and promised to come back by 12PM, but came back at 5PM. I was pissed.
I really have a lot to say, but no energy to narrate.
Two days ago, she came back complaining about her boyfriend and how she doesn't feel it anymore and blah blah blah. I knew the pastor is brainwashing her. Most pastors are pros in manipulation. He has already promised her a new house, phone and others. Me, I do dey promise women anything. Na just f*ck and clean mouth I sabi.
Even if I advise her to be faithful to her man and not sleep with the pastor, she'll do it behind my back and won't tell me. As partners-in-crime, I encouraged her to sleep with him and she was shocked and replied, "I can't believe you'll say this. The same you that always try your best to lead me on the right path and encourage me to be faithful to my boyfriend."
I said what I said because I knew she'll surely fall for him and won't tell me about it, so I wanted to make her feel free and open up when it finally happens because it must surely happen.
Throughout today, she has refused to pick my call. This is a girl that doesn't joke with my calls and practically worships me.
She followed her brother, a newly elected politician to the village and told me she'll return that same evening. Till now, she hasn't returned, picked call or reply chat. I know she went to work from home and the pastor has probably taken her on a trip. My instinct doesn't fail me.
I don't call people easily so if I manage to call you 3 times on all your 3 SIMs and you refused to pick or reply after 24 hours, I'll revenge.
I'm just analysing the type of lie she'll tell me. It should better be great and convincing.
I called her mom and she said she's not in the village. I just wanted to be sure she's safe cuz if anything happens to her, I'll be the first her family will arrest. I practically gave her a free room in my house and now she wants to start doing ashawo under my roof.
The only reason I'm with her, as a friend, is the fact that her p*ssy is too sweet (I have stopped knocking her) and I have taught her a lot about sex and how to grip a d*ck through Kegel exercise.
I have turned her to a dirty little expert in the game. I pity that pastor. If she rides him, he's going to spend millions on her just to have her again.
I'm not against how she lives her life, but ignoring my call is pissing me off. Nobody does that. You're now ignoring your master because of a pastor, abi?
Soon as IBB pick up a pen and a paper to write Autoboigraphy, the whole table scatter lastweek........He shake the table so vigorously lastweek, Healed wounds were torn opened. Hearts that were consoled were brutalized again lastweek......

Maxwellfbi: The Negative Impact of Masturbation on My Life I'm sharing my story to educate and warn others about the dangers of chronic masturbation. My struggles began in 2014 when I started watching porn videos, which led me to develop a habit of masturbation.
The Struggle to Stop Despite my efforts to stop, I found it incredibly difficult. I tried fasting, but it didn't work. This cycle of addiction continued for 10 years.
The Consequences After a decade of chronic masturbation, I decided to visit prostitutes to experience real sex. However, my penis refused to respond, even after multiple attempts with different women (12 times with 12 different prostitutes). On the other hand, when I watched porn at home, my penis would become erect and tempt me to masturbate.
The Turning Point I realized I needed to break free from this cycle. I decided to abstain from both masturbation and real sex. It's been 5 months now, and I've made progress, but I'm facing new challenges.
The Current Challenge My affection signal is not responding to women, even when they're naked or flirting with me. It's as if I've developed erectile dysfunction (ED).
A Plea for Help and Advice I'm seeking advice and guidance on how to overcome this challenge. I want to regain my normal sexual function and develop healthy relationships with women. Please, share your thoughts and suggestions.
Remember, this is a personal story, and I'm sharing it to educate and warn others about the potential dangers of chronic masturbation.
Mumu man na poverty be d problem.I have masturbated for abt 20yrs now and presently hav wife n kids.I am doing well financially n can fck most girls i toast based on i fit pay.Bt i still masturbate sometimes to calm my nerves.This hasnt stopped me frm fcking d hell out of young beautiful girls in their early twenties n making dem squirt like a fcking water fountain.

I will always support rail projects in every part of d country ....not that useless lagos calabar express.We should be decongeting roads by creating cheaper means of transport for mama iyabo to travel by rail to calabar n buy 200 basket of crayfish not some useless 6 lane express that we cannot maintain
