Last Night’s Dream

I dreamt I went to fetch water with a bucket. On my way, I passed two people washing their bus.

When I got to the stream, the water was dirty, so I just stood there, staring at it. After a while, I heard a splash — it scared me a bit, but I later realized it was a fish.

I entered the water and saw a big catfish trying to enter a hole. I tried to pull it out, and after some effort, I succeeded — it was a huge catch. Then I noticed another catfish’s tail and tried to pull that one out too, but all my efforts were in vain. Due to the method I used, I wounded it, and I am not sure it would survive.

I called for help, and the two people I’d seen earlier came. One of them started pushing me, but I told him to pull me instead. He finally began to pull, but then he rubbed my armpits playfully — and that’s how I lost the second fish.

He later begged me to cut a piece from the first fish I caught, and I gave him. The other one, who didn’t help, also asked — but I refused to give him.

more of God blessings is coming your way but,but you had never given back to him,serving him and promoting his work

Those two people you saw are Angels of God,, and those cars they are washing is for your safety.

Are you a driver or do you have a car.

Please get closer to God

Who is Tinubu, who is Sheriff? Where are Awolowo, Azikiwe, or Okotie-Eboh’s children, are they the ones on top today, are they the ones keeping u down?

Awolowo, Azikiwe and Okotie Eboh didn't groom/prepare their children for political positions, hence after their father's demise, they went into oblivion.

But this generation of leaders are more wiser and smarter

TheFreshVanilla:
Yeah, their fathers worked hard, but they’re passing down the same rope, the one their kids will use to stay on top and keep yours under, just like their fathers do now.

Nigerians deserves the leaders they had,if you have the opportunity you will do the same.

That's how politics is played in Africa.

Having said that,not participating in politics doesn't mean you are down, there's money in business that will make you live a comfortable life too

Usmanovic95:

highchief1:

It's not their fault as their father's work hard to become leaders.

It's also not bad to groom their son's to learn the ropes in politics.

Belurved1:
Are you not better than these two people mentioned in your articles? So you expect a responsible Nigerians to dey read article on some people's sons. You can do better next time.

Don't reply, I belief lesson learnt

I wouldn't have replied you,but on a second thought,I decided to

So, because you are still struggling,so you don't celebrate the successes of other people's children,

If you hate to see and celebrate others success,I bet you success will be far from you.

I wonder how you can go along with any successful members of your family and friends,if you have any, because you are filled with hate and bitterness...

Learn to celebrate others

What is wrong with the post

According to a media post on Thursday, 23 October 2025, by the media aide to the Executive Governor of Delta State, Honourable Ossai Ovie Success, the son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Seyi Tinubu, received Sheriff Junior Oborevwori, the son of Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori.



The meeting between the two young leaders was described as cordial and focused on promoting youth engagement, innovation, and unity across the country.


Both Seyi Tinubu and Sheriff Junior discussed areas of mutual interest, particularly their shared commitment to empowering young Nigerians and supporting initiatives that contribute to national development.


The encounter, which has drawn positive attention on social media, was seen as a symbol of hope and collaboration between the next generation of leaders from different regions of the country.


It was revealed that the meeting also aligns with the ideals of the “Renewed Hope Agenda,” aimed at inspiring young people to take active roles in building a prosperous, inclusive, and united Nigeria through visionary leadership and purposeful engagement.




Warri gazette

The United Kingdom’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) has cautioned Nigeria, Kenya, and six other countries over rising cases of methanol poisoning linked to counterfeit alcoholic drinks.

The expanded advisory reflects growing global concern over the spread of toxic beverages that continue to claim lives across several regions.

According to a BBC report, the caution follows a series of high-profile incidents, including the deaths of six tourists in Laos last year.

Previously, the FCDO’s methanol warning covered countries such as Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Turkey, Costa Rica, and Fiji. It has now been broadened to include Nigeria, Kenya, Ecuador, Japan, Mexico, Peru, Russia, and Uganda.

Methanol — an industrial chemical commonly found in antifreeze and windscreen washer fluids — is not inherently toxic, but becomes dangerous when ingested.

“Only when it is ingested into the body does it become poisonous, such that formic acids and their anion formates become health risks,” according to a report from Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).

BBC reports further explain that the danger often emerges hours after consumption, as the liver attempts to metabolise the substance. “The harm in consuming these poisonous methanol-laced alcohol happens hours later as the body attempts to clear it from the body by breaking it down in the liver,” the report notes.

“This metabolism creates toxic by-products called formaldehyde, formate and formic acid. These build up, attacking nerves and organs which can lead to blindness, coma and death,” it adds.

Health experts warn that adulterated alcoholic drinks — often produced illicitly to cut costs and maximise profits — have become a global menace.

According to MSF, such counterfeit brews account for thousands of deaths annually, with fatality rates ranging between 20 and 40 percent.


The FCDO’s expanded alert underscores an urgent need for governments and consumers alike to strengthen monitoring systems, raise awareness, and ensure safer alcohol consumption practices, especially in countries where informal or unregulated markets thrive.

Signs to look out for

In cases of methanol poisoning, victims may experience symptoms such as blurred vision, breathing difficulties, brain damage, coma, and even death.

Experts note that in its early stages, methanol poisoning can mimic ordinary alcohol intoxication. However, distinctive warning signs, particularly visual disturbances, typically appear 12 to 48 hours after consumption, according to BBC reports.
What to do if poisoned

Travellers are being urged to remain vigilant for early warning signs of methanol poisoning, including nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and confusion, and to seek immediate medical attention if any symptoms occur, according to BBC reports.

The advisory further cautioned tourists to purchase only sealed alcoholic beverages from licensed outlets and to avoid homemade brews, pre-mixed spirits, and drinks served in buckets or jugs, which are more likely to contain toxic levels of methanol.

While methanol itself is a common industrial compound, it becomes deadly when ingested — often as a result of illicit alcohol producers using it to cut costs and boost profits. Health experts estimate that thousands of people worldwide are poisoned by methanol each year, with fatality rates in outbreaks ranging from 20 percent to 40 percent.

The House of Representatives has resolved to investigate the alleged use of harmful chemicals as preservatives for frozen foods across the country.

The resolution of the House was sequel to the adoption of a motion of urgent public importance brought before the Green Chamber in plenary by the member representing Ehime Mbano/Ihitte Uboma/Obowo Federal Constituency, Imo State, Hon Chike Okafor, on Wednesday.

Some non-governmental organisations operating in the health sector have been consistent in their outcry over the alleged use of dangerous chemicals, including formalin, sodium hydroxide, snipers, kerosene and carbide as preservatives in frozen fish, prawns, shrimp, meat, and other food items in Nigerian markets.

There are reports from regulatory bodies, health experts, and media investigations revealing that some of the chemicals used for embalming corpses, industrial processes, and ripening fruits are now being used to prolong the shelf life of perishable foods.

These chemicals pose serious health risks to consumers, including the potential for developmental disorders (autism) in children, cancer, organ damage, and other life-threatening health conditions for countless Nigerians, as documented by the Nigerian Medical Association.

Drawing his colleagues’ attention to the significance of the motion, Okafor expressed concern over the alleged reckless use of dangerous chemicals in the preservation of perishable food items in Nigeria.

How EFCC can end corruption — Senator
He said, “The House is concerned that most frozen products imported into Nigeria are preserved using carcinogenic substances. These are substances or radiations that are agents directly involved in causing cancer. Some eateries use certain harmful substances, including Dimethylpolysiloxane (a silicon-based polymer used in various applications like lubricants, conditioning agents and de-foamers) to prepare chicken.

“Some also use Tertiary Butyl Hydroquinone, a chemical preservative so deadly that just five grams can kill a human being.”

He expressed worry that relevant agencies saddled with this responsibility have been accused of surface complicity and sometimes “Often overlooking the dangerous menace that despite previous resolutions and warnings, the illegal practice persists due to weak enforcement, corruption, and lack of public awareness.”

Okafor added that with Nigeria’s Food Safety Bill, 2023, and the mandate of agencies like the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, Standard Organisation of Nigeria and the Federal Ministry of Health to safeguard public health, the House Committee on Nutrition and Food Security will do everything possible to safeguard the health of Nigerians.

With the adoption of the motion, the House called on the Federal Ministries of Health, Agriculture and Food Security, NAFDAC, SON and other relevant agencies to appear before the investigative Committee to “Provide valued information on their effort to curb the dangerous trend.”

It also mandated its Committees on Nutrition and Food Security, NAFDAC and Safety Standards to conduct “An investigative hearing on the alleged use of harmful chemicals as preservatives of frozen foods and importation of frozen foods preserved with carcinogenic substances and report back to the House within six legislative weeks.”

If this stadium is built to international standard like goodwill akpabio stadium in uyo,then the south south can boast of two standard standium where international matches can be played.

Nigeria leaders and top public office holders knew the extent of damage that has been done to the country.

They no longer put all their eggs in one basket because they know that Nigeria will collapse one day

No fewer than 30 people were reportedly killed and about 40 others injured after a fuel tanker exploded while residents were scooping petrol in Niger State.

The accident occurred around 11 am yesterday at the Essan and Badeggi communities on the Bida-Agaie road in the Katcha local government of the state.

An eyewitness confirmed to our correspondent that the victims were trapped while scrambling to scoop fuel from the accident tanker.

“The affected victims were trapped while scooping the petroleum product from the tanker. While they were scooping the product, the tanker exploded, thereby burning many of the victims beyond recognition, while the injured were rushed to the Federal Medical Centre, Bida, for treatment.

Chairman of the State Tanker Drivers and Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) National Ex-Officio, Comrade Farouk Mohammed Kawo, confirmed the incident to journalists in Minna.

“Reports sent to us indicated that the tanker was coming from Lagos and heading to the northern part before the sad incident occurred.

“Within this month (October) alone, over 30 tanker trailers had been involved in various accidents in that particular area because of the very bad nature of the road.

“We have always educated the people, especially the youth, on the danger inherent in scooping fuel during any accident, but they would not listen.

“Just last Sunday, a tanker carrying groundnut oil had an accident in the area, and residents in the area, especially the youth, rushed to the area and started scooping the product.

He appealed to the federal government to urgently intervene on the road to avoid constant accidents leading to the waste of lives and properties worth millions of naira.

The Bida-Agaie-Lapai road had been a death trap to motorists, especially tankers, because of the failed road, which had been lingering for years.

Meanwhile, the state governor, Muhammed Umaru Bago, has extended his deepest condolences to the people of Essa, Katcha local government area, over the incident.

In a statement through his Chief Press Secretary, Bologi Ibrahim, the Governor described the incident as worrisome, unfortunate, and pathetic.

“This is yet another painful, difficult, and tragic one for the people and the state government.”

“It is disheartening how people have continued to approach a fallen tanker to scoop its contents despite several sensitisations on the danger of such action. I think the people should value their lives no matter the situation more than material things,” he declared.

The Governor commended the management and staff of the Niger State Emergency Management Agency (NSEMA) for its prompt intervention, assuring that the state government through relevant MDAs will provide the needed support.

How can he even refer to himself as a king in another man's land let alone installing a chief? This is an impunity carried too far. It is common to this particular tribe in Nigeria. I don't usually hear others committing such opprobrium or engage in acts calculated to bring the name of the country into disrepute.

The reason is that the Igbos are the only single tribe in Nigeria that travel far and wide in large numbers
