OLAADEGBU: Reacting to the development, Badenoch wrote, “Russia, China and Iran vote with others to demand trillions in reparations from UK taxpayers…and the Labour government abstain!”
Two things here:
1) Keir Starmer refusing to vote against the resolution means he has a bit of a conscience and acknowledges Britain played a major role in the slave trade era.
2) The most important question I want to ask: If not for the slave trade and exposure of our African ancestors to modernization won't Africa have been more backward than it is today?
The Anambra State Police Command has arrested a five-member criminal gang, including a female suspect accused of luring commercial motorcyclists to isolated locations for robbery operations in Ihiala Local Government Area of the state.
The arrest was confirmed in a press statement issued on Tuesday by the Police Public Relations Officer of the Command, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, who said the suspects were apprehended by operatives of the Rapid Response Squad, Awkuzu, during an early morning operation, which also led to the recovery of a firearm, stolen motorcycles and other incriminating items.
According to the statement, the five arrested suspects are identified as Sunday Chukwudebele, aged 22; Adaobi Udeze, aged 26; Chimezie Ifebi, aged 35; Kelvin Chukwuejike, aged 28; and Uzi Chukwuejike Williams Umeh, aged 26.
The police spokesman explained that the gang had been operating within Ihiala and surrounding areas, targeting commercial motorcyclists popularly known as Ọkada riders.
SP Ikenga revealed that preliminary investigation showed that the female suspect, Adaobi, played a key role in the gang’s activities by posing as a passenger and deceiving unsuspecting motorcycle operators to lonely routes and hideouts, where other members of the gang would emerge to attack the victims and dispossess them of their motorcycles and personal belongings. He added that the method had enabled the gang to carry out several robbery operations before their arrest.
The police further disclosed that items recovered from the suspects include one locally made Beretta pistol, three Qlink motorcycles of the 150 Tiger model suspected to have been stolen, as well as a red-coloured face mask believed to have been used during their operations. The Command noted that the recovery of the exhibits would assist ongoing investigations aimed at uncovering other members of the syndicate and possible victims.
Reacting to the development, the State Commissioner of Police, CP Ikioye Orutugu, commended the operatives of the Rapid Response Squad for their swift response and professionalism, stressing that the Command remains determined to rid the state of criminal elements threatening the safety of residents.
The Police Commissioner, according to the statement, assured members of the public that the Command would continue to intensify operations across the state, particularly in areas where criminal gangs target commercial transport operators and other vulnerable persons. He also urged commercial motorcyclists and residents to remain vigilant and promptly report suspicious movements to the nearest police station or security agency.
The Police Public Relations Officer added that the suspects are currently in custody and will be charged to court after the completion of investigations, even as the Command also reiterated its commitment to sustaining ongoing security operations aimed at ensuring the protection of lives and property across Anambra State.
So recently I've been thinking about marriage. Tho I'm in a relationship but the woman I've been dating doesn't really seem to have the same serious interest and intentions like me. I've talked to her severally but it seems she isn't ready to settle down yet. Imagine this is someone whom I've gone to see her people and they know me well. My own people know her too. I've equally talked to her mom since she's the one parent she has . And had also talked to her best friend about it too.
But one thing I've noticed about her is that she's over religious and seems to be too close to her pastor. The last time I talked to her about the marriage stuff,she directed me to go and talk to her pastor. Tho I was initially furious about it but I just had to man up,kill my pride and decided to pay her pastor a visit.
From the conversation I had with her pastor,it seems he's one of the major stumbling blocks. Because he was only curious about my financial status he was even asking me what was my source of livelihood,and of which I told him. Afterwards,he then asked me what was my monthly salary. Saying if I'm sure I can take care of my fiancee with that amount,or if I'm planning to have a side hustle. That he doesn't want a case where any of her spiritual daughter will go into a marriage where she'll be suffering. I told her categorically clear that I'm not a lazy man and I don't intend to put anyone's daughter into suffering in the name of marriage.
It's been over a week since I left the pastor's office, and since then,my fiancee has been behaving so cold towards me.
So I don't know whether to continue with my proposal or I should just kindly look for another lady to marry.
Mindlog: How did they not pick that up during the interview stage?
"The Trust received satisfactory references about her previous roles".....certainly fraudulent references.
During the my own recruitment, the HR team from the London borough I work for, contacted all my references both academic and professional, had video calls with them to discuss me.
It took 3 months between when I was informed I got the job to my first day at work, they didn't want to take any chances.
Those referees need to be questioned.
An acquaintance who moved to UK contacted me a while ago. She was applying for care job and wanted me to say she worked with me in so so hospital and list plenty skills she demonstrated.
"UK-based Naija guy fills up 53 litres of petrol and pays £97... that's roughly ₦190,000 at today's rate! 😱 He shouts 'UK life is just suffering and smiling' and asks how much the same fuel costs back home in Nigeria right now.
Watch him react in real time + see why Nigerians online are dragging him hard (Minimum wage UK vs Naija comparison incoming...) Current reality check (March 2026):
UK petrol ~£1.42/litre (avg) Nigeria petrol ~₦1,000–1,200/litre (varies by state) But UK minimum wage ~£1,000–1,200/month vs Nigeria ₦70,000/month Is abroad really suffering or selective comparison? Drop your thoughts below!
Nwaikpe: Funny thing that Nigerian Iranians don't know is that:
The US is the biggest producer and refiner of Oil.
Their attempts to stop the terrorism of ships on that route are not because it hurts their economy directly, but because their economy is the economy of the world, and if other countries like Britanistan, Francistan, etc collapse, America collapses.
The only direct solution to this problem is BOOTS ON THE GROUND.
Terrorists understand no other language than "more force!"
God bless the United States of America God bless Trump God bless the Nation of Israel God bless Netanyahu God bless the children of God (Israel).
Boots on the ground?
That would be too costly for the USA.
Iran is not Iraq or Afghanistan.
And with Russia supporting Iran, things can spiral quickly.
Ironfaceman: A former lecturer of Covenant University, who also has a PhD, has taken to social media to mention his salary The experienced individual took to his media page to engage in discussion and also share his payslip The amount he mentioned as his salary caught the attention of many people, who took to the comments page to react.
A former lecturer of Covenant University, who also has a PhD, has captured people's attention after disclosing the amount he was paid as salary despite his degree and qualifications.
The brilliant individual backed up his claim with a photo, which serves as evidence of the amount he was paid as salary and the specific year
Former Covenant University displays his payslip His statement shows that he currently does not work with the institution, as he referred to the school in the past tense.
@Engrbimmy wrote on his social media page: "I looked at my payslip (with Ph.D) from when I was a Lecturer at Covenant University, and I started crying."
By revealing the amount he was paid in the viral post, many on social media found his statement hard to believe. An individual, @MrPharm_, asked what year the lecturer taught at Covenant University or the year he was paid the said amount he mentioned. To prove his statement is true, @Engrbimmy replied with proof from his PayPal.
A statement to further prove that he received the amount he mentioned as salary in January 2024. Legit.ng reached out to the individual for comments, but he has not responded at the time of writing this report. His post about Covenant University has since gone viral, with many people talking about it online.
Single Obligor Limit (SOL): The CBN prohibits banks from lending more than 20% of their shareholders' funds to a single borrower (or related parties). A large-ticket obligor is any entity whose total debt across all banks exceeds this 20% threshold.
huptin: MOSSAD...How can they target all your body guards and others around you and left your house untouched...your house was just 100 meters away.
Three of his bodyguards— members of the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) —- have been killed. His own residence remained unaffected and was not targeted 100 meters away from that building,....Suspicious, very suspicious.
FOX NEWS THAT YOU WATCH EVERYDAY TO WORSHIP TRUMP, IS IT THE US GOVT THAT OWNS IT?
CNN, IS IT AMERICAN GOVT THAT OWNS IT?
Is it not private companies?
What stops YOU from forming a consortium to start a station?
Or the guys that came together to form CNN, they have two heads, abi?
MR GOVT GOVT GOVT GOVT GOVT.
If the government cannot maintain it, they should SHUT IT DOWN
Channels TV, Arise TV are just a few of the private TV stations in Nigeria and they are doing very well. There are so many of them. So, what exactly are you talking about?
promami: I have a friend I want to assist so he can gain his footing and be self reliant. We're in the East. What business can I set up for him with 500k so he can run it and be making some money on his own onna daily basis?
POS is out of it please.
I'll really appreciate your suggestions to help me make a choice.
I was in Enugu few weeks ago and I couldn't believe my eyes. Omo! That city is low-key Abuja.
Enugu has been blessed with good Governors since 1999: Chiomaroke Nnamani Sullivan Chime And now, Peter Mbah I don't know about Ugwuanyi and what he contributed as the state governor.
This is how governance should be: PROGRESSIVE DEVELOPMENT
The father doesn't give his wife enough credit in front of their kids; that's why the foolish boy was never aware his Mum also brings in money to the family.
Even if the Mum is not working or earning, that's not a reason to talk to her rudely like that.
Hardeybohwarley: Even though her action is commendable, we need to let go of such mentality as it doesn't work in saner climes and better organisation in Nigeria.
I find it hard to see why an employer will be expecting me to show appreciation for receiving a salary I toiled for.
Was the employer thanking me while I was doing the job.
Dey there dey speak grammar.
You don't know what gratitude can cause. I can cite examples.
Again, this is not an "organization" as you think. It's probably a small scale business where everyone in the business know one another personally.
To find thankful people nowadays is a rare gift and can open doors for the person.
Richtaiwo: Nawa for oyibo oh. So because he worked while on leave, he has committed an offence. He also worked at night when he was supposed to be resting, how is that una problem? Is it your body?
This is the mentality that keeps Nigeria backwards.
The time he spent working in the other places was the same time he should have spent at his primary place of employment.
He claimed he couldn't work those times on health grounds. So, the hospital got someone else and paid them extra to do this guy's job.
I hope it's well understood now.
If you say you're sick, you should be at home resting or in the hospital recovering. If you're found anywhere else, you're a FRAUD.
