Don't mind them. They want use English to confuse Nigerians. There is a difference between rescued and released. These ones were released based on payment of ransome......they were not rescued. Rescue has to do with gun battles or exchange of fire or killings of the kidnappers or blah blah.
easzypeaszy: I wish Lagos state will just takeover area like Akute, OkeAro, Part of Sango, Agbado e.t.c Most people around here are Lagosians who pay tax to Lagos government and do all transactions in Lagos.
It baffles me alot, with the revenue generated and the number of industries in Ogun state. The state in times of infrastructure is worst than most state with less revenue in Nigeria.
In Ogun, the roads are worst than all the worst roads you can think about in South East combines. I have always wondered and most times tears drops out of my eyes.
You see Lagos ehhhn, people still insult all the Governors, but they work and fix there roads. Ogun state is a good example of earning huge and it still wont show in your life.
I wish it could happen that way but Lagos state government won't take over those areas. Even Agbara case is still in court and they have not settled it. Lagos state has been dragging with Ogun state for years and it has not been settled. Most people till date didn't even know that Agbara is not Lagos state despite the dominance of Lagos state people. I'm not too sure about about OkeAro and other areas but Akute on the other hand has been a controversial area over the years.
I'm of this opinion that there should be a shared profit between the two states and I think that's what they have been doing in those axis.
OgaDeyVex: Gunmen Suspected to be cultists have shot dead one Mr Bobby Kabah and his pregnant wife in Ogwashi-Uku, Aniocha South Local Government Area of Delta State.
The incident, which happened on Wednesday night, is coming against the backdrop of the ongoing cult war between members of rival cult groups in the community.
PUNCH Metro gathered that the incident has thrown the community into confusion and mourning.
A community source, who spoke to our correspondent on the condition of anonymity, explained that Kabah was relaxing with his pregnant wife at home in Agidiasei quarters when two gunmen walked into his house around 8.35pm and opened fire on them.
He said, “Bobby was at home with his woman because he is nursing an injury in his leg as a result of a motorbike accident he had recently.
“The gunmen entered his home from the back, met him and his pregnant wife and opened fire, killing both of them instantly.”
PUNCH Metro reports that the ongoing cult war in Ogwashi-Uku has so far claimed six lives in the last two weeks.
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Bright Edafe, confirmed the killings on Thursday.
Edafe said, “Yes, it is confirmed. They are not husband and wife, but they were living together and killed in the same house.
“The Commissioner of Police has ordered to direct the matter to the state CID.”
jazzman7711: Famous Kenyan YouTuber Miss Trudy went to Miami, and was stopping people on the street and in the beach, and asking them which country they would like to visit in Africa.
To her surprise, 95% of the people she asked, including blacks, whites, latinos, etc, all said they wanted first of all to visit NIGERIA before any other country in Africa!
Incredible video! This our country is so popular and well-loved by the international community.
Bleep Dangote! Bleep MTN..Bleep others. They have made enough money in this country. Now that they lose money, let them bear it. All these companies doesn't give anything back to Nigerians despite huge profits they make.
gfelo: Thanks you for this contribution my genotype is AA and i know my girlfriend genotype is also AA but my gf did not know my genotype.
Okkkk..... 👍. I now understand. Maybe she had already told her parents that she doesn't know your genotype and they are worried. Nothing do you jooo.... I think the most important thing is the trust that exist between you guys. This whole thing is not an issue at all. Then on the aspect of the school, it's important for them to know your genotype but not necessary. What I think they should have asked for is your blood group, should in case any emergency comes up and your child needs blood or something.
gfelo: Please nairalanders my girl friend had a baby for me 3years ago and I promise to marry her, but due to the nature of my work am not always around, suddenly the mother in law called me and ask me about my genotype that the school the went to enrolled my baby is asking for my genotype.
I can't really understand why the school is asking for my genotype. Seriously, your mother-in-law is doing the right thing. If you are a parent and your daughter is AS , can you give her out in marriage to AS man? That's a very great and regrettable risk. This is why counseling is very important.
Please doctors and teachers help me.
Mod please to front-page
Honestly, I think Genotype test should be the first before pregnancy. This is very important so that the life of the baby will not be in danger of sickle cell crises. I could sense that that they ran genotype test for your kid when you were not around and he/she(your kid) is a carrier. I think that's why they are asking of your genotype. Also what is your genotype and that of your partner? I think your mother-in-law is doing the right thing. No parent will give their kids out to someone without genotype match. Counseling also is very important. Don't let us out the lives of these innocent kids at risk when it comes to genotype.
Mikuni: You're wrong. Dangote and Otedola are supercute
Supercute.......I'm not arguing that fact. Nice one! But just imagine them without money. That's when you will know that money is good and it changes looks and beauty.
Mynd44: The same journalist who said the reason Nigeria don't have internet is because the Houthis bombs an subsea cable in the Red Sea?
Investigative my foot
Don't mind the journalist. What will you expect from a journalist who needs followers so that Elon musk can pay him on X(Twitter)? He is just writing for business and not that he cares.
FreedomArmy: Now that Ijaw is under siege by the Nigeria army I am surprised that Reno and Asari the two ministers of Igbo hater has gone mute and have nothing to say.
This two men has made it a duty to always side with anything that is done against Igbo people not knowing that one day it will be the turn of his own people. Ijaw women are killed raped and their houses destroyed. Ijaw children are lying dead all over Ijaw land. Young girls are raped but alas those two has gone mute
The people you love to side with against the Igbos are now the one shouting on top of their voice to wipe out the entire Ijaw while the Igbo are the one speaking for you. This is the irony of life
Funny enough, some of you guys resides in Lagos and spreads fake news of what is happening in SS. Stop being emotional and address SS people on the platform of peace and consequences of their actions. Show us pictures of the rape, women killed, etc. Stop spreading hate, instead address what matters to Nation building. Because NA is taking action, you guys are looking for sympathy from everyone. Are you expecting NA to fold their arms after the gruesome murder of their comrades? To every action, there is always equal and opposite reaction.
I am a street cleaner earning 15k monthly I save up to 80k now. Please! What business can I start with this little amount.
This may sound funny but it's a very good hustle to start with 80k or less. You can start frying yam and Akara(bean balls). I must be honest with you, in this hardship we are facing currently , everyone needs to eat. People don't really care about clothing this time around but food has become number 1 priority. Na person wey chop bellefull dey remember to buy new clothes. You can even start with 30k and your profit at the end of the month would be dancing around 50k of you know how to manage your savings.
ayjay45: I can't help but feel sad bcuz I don't have much sexual relationships even at 26.
I get rejected on Dating apps after sending my pics. Imagine being handsome or even average looking. Friends would flock more towards you than an ugly guy. People would like you and want to help you
To make things worse, my family is POOR
Bye nairaland
Chairman post your picture first and let's see. You are a man and stop being emotional.
I know many handsome guys who are dead, many are in prison , many have their legs amputated, many are psychiatric hospital, etc In fact, few days ago an handsome guys was killed in Abia state by a Rival cult group. Dangote is not handsome but controls billions. Thank God for money, Otedola would have been one of the ugliest but he controls billions. Elon musk is not fine at all but "Akpalapala" brought out his handsomeness. People plenty wey no fine. What are we talking about here?
Beauty is a state of mind and not only outward appearance. Your beauty is "insde-out" and not "outward-in".
Chairman, make your money. Enjoy your life. Life is short. Infact, if you have money , you don't need dating App. Babes go fall for you like vitamin C. I guess you are broke cos if you have money to buy what it takes , your beauty will flow like unending river.
Na lie!! Say person fair no means say she fine. Yellow no be beauty!! Her lips sef .....she don suck this thing wella. Wetin dem dey call that thing sef? I don forget..
Would you have said thesame if your Dad and brothers were among those soldiers who lost their lives? Haba na! Nigerian Army may have their lapses but they are Humans as well.
A yet-to-be-identified man has allegedly fallen off from police vehicle shortly and died in Anambra State.
The incident reportedly happened on Wednesday at Ọgbọ Ọgwụ Market, by Port Harcourt Road in Onitsha, the commercial city of the State.
According to a video currently trending on the social media and a masculine voiceover that accompanies it, the victim was arrested by some police officers who came into the market and also seized some goods from the traders in the market.
It was further alleged in the video that, shortly after the arrest, while the police officers were speeding off out of the market in their vehicle with the seized goods and the victim who was handcuffed, he fell from the vehicle and hit his head on the coal tar and “died.”
The video also shows the black-dressed man lying lifeless on the ground with handcuffs on his hand while people gathered, watching, lamenting, and making videos of him.
When contacted by this reporter, the Police Public Relations Officer of the Anambra State Police Command, DSP Ikenga Tochukwu, confirmed having seen the viral video.
He said he had also forwarded the video to the Onitsha Area Commander, for investigation, especially concerning the circumstances surrounding the incident and the alleged police involvement in the matter.
The Police Spokesman also disclosed that the Command had sued for calm, assuring that those behind such inhumane act would be unfailingly unmasked.

The story of Sarah Baartman of South Africa who had an unusual long backside.
Sarah Baartman, also known as Saartjie Baartman, was a Khosa woman who was born in South Africa in the late 1789. She is famous for being exhibited as a freak show attraction in Europe in the early 18th century because of her large buttocks, which were considered unusual and exotic at the time.
Baartman was born in the Gamtoos Valley, in what is now the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. She was a member of the Khoikhoi, a group of indigenous people who lived in the region. As a young woman, Baartman was taken from her home by a British ship's doctor, William Dunlop, who promised her work as a servant in Cape Town. However, instead of being employed as a servant, Baartman was taken to England and exhibited as a sideshow attraction under the name "Hottentot Venus."
Baartman's large buttocks and elongated labia were considered unusual and exotic, and she was put on display in London and Paris, where people paid to gawk at her. She was also made to perform various tricks, such as dancing and singing, for the entertainment of spectators. Baartman was treated poorly during this time and was not paid for her performances.
Baartman died of Syphilis in 1815 at the age of 26. She was sexually assaulted multiple times and her captors paid in exchange to experience ssehura also know by stage name The Hottentot venus , and her remains were dissected and put on display in a museum in Paris. In 2002, the South African government successfully campaigned for the return of Baartman's remains to South Africa, and she was finally laid to rest in 2002.
Baartman's story is a tragic one and serves as a reminder of the exploitation and mistreatment of people of color throughout history may she rest in eternal peace
We need to wake her up from dead. I have a business proposal for her in Abuja or Lasgidi. The choice is hers. Haaaaaa!!! This one na asset na!!
RaySimran: I believe TLC gave Micheal and his woman a script to act upon; cause, sincerely I wouldn't understand why a man would go through those sh¡t above and still maintain his sanity.
I would agree with you in a way. Even if they are acting upon a script, TLC didn't put Michael under compulsion to marry Angela. Angela knows Michael is not smart enough to handle the relationship and she's using that as added advantage over him.
As a man, know when to embrace and when to refrain. "No" and "yes" are very powerful words.
