I’m 34 and ready for marriage — Actress Nancy Isime reveals

Popular Nollywood actress, Nancy Isime, has revealed that she is ripe for marriage emphasizing that the character of a man is more important to her than material things. In a candid conversation with media personality Morayo Afolabi-Brown, Isime stated that kindness is a non-negotiable trait for her when it comes to choosing a life partner.

When asked if there was a man in the pipeline, Isime said she is ready for marriage, emphasizing that she is now 34 years old. “There should be, even if he’s not manifested or even if he’s manifested, there should be, I’m of age,” she said, reacting to Morayo’s comment on how in control of her countenance she is and how attractive that is for men.

“But I have to choose what I settle with. First of all, I like kindness. I find kindness one of the most attractive traits. Before you can be my friend or even relate with me, not to talk of getting married to me, you have to be kind. And I don’t mean performative. I mean genuine kindness. Once you are kind, everything else can be worked on,” she said.

PoliticsRe: Northern Christians Dancing To The Drum Of Igbo Separatists By Muhammad M. Gembu by Dish: 1:11pm On Jan 19

NORTHERN CHRISTIANS DANCING TO THE DRUM OF IGBO SEPARATISTS

By Mustapha Muhammad Gembu
Date : January 19, 2026

For decades, Northern Nigeria has been a region defined by coexistence. Indigenous Christian communities have lived alongside Muslim majorities, sharing common markets, neighborhoods, cultural exchanges, and—most importantly—shared struggles. Insecurity, poverty, underdevelopment, and weak governance have affected Northerners collectively, regardless of religious identity. Yet in recent years, this fragile balance has come under strain due to the growing politicization of religion and the uncritical adoption of external narratives that do not reflect the complex realities of the North.

Today, a disturbing trend is unfolding: many Northern Christians are increasingly aligning themselves with political and ideological agendas driven by Igbo Christian elites and separatist movements from Nigeria’s South-East. This alignment, often fueled by emotion, religious sentiment, and perceived marginalization, risks dragging Northern Christians into a political project that neither prioritizes their survival nor safeguards their long-term interests.

The Igbo Separatist Agenda and Its Hidden Motives

At the heart of this issue is the agitation for a breakaway state known as Biafra, championed by groups such as IPOB and its armed wing, ESN. While these movements present themselves as victims of injustice and defenders of Christian interests, their ultimate objective is the fragmentation of Nigeria along ethnic lines to advance Igbo political dominance in a reconfigured state.

The destabilization of Nigeria is therefore not an unintended consequence but a strategic objective. Unfortunately, many Northern Christians have failed to recognize that they are being mobilized as tools—useful allies in international advocacy campaigns but expendable in the final political calculation.

The 2023 Presidential Election: Religion Over Reason

The 2023 general election marked a turning point in this troubling alliance. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s selection of Kashim Shettima as his running mate triggered intense backlash, particularly among Christian groups. Rather than being evaluated within Nigeria’s long tradition of strategic ticket balancing, the Muslim–Muslim ticket was framed as an existential threat to Christianity.

Churches across Northern Nigeria became political mobilization centers. Sermons were transformed into campaign messages, and voting choices were framed as acts of religious defense. Consequently, Northern Christians voted overwhelmingly for Mr. Peter Obi of the Labour Party.

This mass support was not based on Peter Obi’s policies toward Northern development, security reform, or economic revival. Instead, it was rooted largely in religious identity and a shared Christian affiliation. In the process, Northern Christians rejected not only the APC ticket but also credible Northern candidates such as Atiku Abubakar and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso—men with deep understanding of Northern realities—simply because they are Muslims.

For Igbo Christian elites, this support served a broader ethnic project. But for Northern Christians, it represented a dangerous abandonment of regional solidarity and political pragmatism.

The Weaponization of the “Christian Genocide” Narrative

Perhaps the most damaging development has been the aggressive promotion of the claim that Christians are being systematically exterminated in Nigeria. This narrative, heavily amplified by IPOB-linked networks and international lobbyists, has gained traction in Western political and media spaces.

Northern Christians, who experience insecurity firsthand, know that violence in the region is not selectively religious. Banditry, Boko Haram, ISWAP, and other armed groups have killed thousands of Muslims and Christians alike. Entire Muslim villages have been wiped out, mosques destroyed, and Muslim clerics assassinated. Yet these realities are often ignored in favor of a simplified and emotionally charged genocide claim.

Despite knowing this truth, some Northern Christians have joined the campaign to portray Nigeria as a country engaged in religious extermination of Christians. This has been driven more by resentment, fear, and external validation than by factual accuracy.

Distorting Farmer–Herder Conflicts

Nowhere is this distortion clearer than in the farmer–herder conflicts across Plateau, Benue, Southern Kaduna, and parts of the North-Central region. These conflicts are primarily rooted in land use, climate pressure, population growth, and the collapse of traditional conflict-resolution mechanisms.

Both Fulani pastoralists and farming communities—Muslims and Christians—have suffered enormous losses. However, these conflicts are repeatedly reframed as a one-sided religious war against Christians, erasing Muslim victims and deepening mistrust.

This selective framing has hardened identities, escalated reprisals, and made peaceful resolution more difficult. It has also allowed criminal elements and ethnic militias on all sides to justify violence under the cover of religious self-defense.

The Role of Religious Leadership

One of the most painful aspects of this crisis is the role played by some Northern pastors and church leaders. Instead of acting as voices of moderation and truth, they have actively promoted exaggerated genocide narratives on international platforms.

By doing so, they have endangered the very coexistence that allows Christian communities to thrive in the North. Worse still, many of these leaders openly tied their advocacy to partisan politics, endorsing Peter Obi primarily as a symbolic rejection of Muslim political leadership.

This approach ignores a fundamental reality: to many Southern elites, especially within the Igbo political imagination, all Northerners are seen as Hausa-Fulani Muslims. Northern Christians are not viewed as a distinct political constituency deserving protection or autonomy.

International Fallout and External Interference

The consequences of exporting these narratives have been severe. U.S. congressional hearings, fact-finding missions, and media reports—often based on incomplete or biased information—have shaped foreign policy positions toward Nigeria.

The designation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) was one such outcome. Subsequent foreign military actions and diplomatic pressure, particularly targeting Muslim-majority regions like Sokoto, further deepened internal divisions.

More alarming still are proposals by some U.S. lawmakers suggesting the partition of Nigeria into Northern and Southern entities. These proposals are rooted in the same flawed genocide narrative now being championed by some Northern Christians.

The Inevitable Cost to Northern Christians

In any hypothetical division of Nigeria—however unrealistic—Northern Christians would be the greatest losers. They would become politically isolated minorities in a region defined by geography, not sentiment. No Northern state would realistically align with a Southern bloc, leaving Northern Christians without leverage, protection, or strategic relevance.

What is being presented as religious solidarity is, in reality, a path toward political marginalization and existential vulnerability.

The Reality of Violence in Northern Nigeria

Violence in Northern Nigeria is not the monopoly of any religion. If Fulani extremists have killed Christians, then Christian militias—Berom, Jukun, Adara, Kataf, and others—have also killed Muslims. Entire Muslim communities have been attacked, displaced, and erased from ancestral lands.

To describe one side as terrorists and the other as victims is intellectually dishonest and morally dangerous. The North is bleeding collectively.

Conclusion

The insecurity ravaging Northern Nigeria is not a Christian-only tragedy; it is also a Muslim tragedy. If there is any talk of genocide, then both Christians and Muslims are victims.

While some Fulani herders—who are nominally Muslim—have committed atrocities, there are also Christian militant groups and ethnic militias, including Berom, Jukun, Adara, Kataf, and others, who have killed Muslims in various conflicts. Violence in the North is complex, multi-layered, and not exclusive to any single faith.

Northern Christians must therefore rethink their blind alignment with Southern Christian political agendas and separatist narratives. The continued framing of economic and security conflicts as religious wars, and the promotion of exaggerated genocide claims, serve neither peace nor the long-term interests of the North.

The sooner Northern Christians move beyond religious sentiment, reject divisive propaganda, and stand in solidarity with their fellow Northerners—regardless of faith—the better it will be for them and for the stability of the region as a whole.

What the North needs is not religious war, but collective resolve.
I understand the agenda 😌

Honestly speaking I think the igbos people Nigeria does not understand the psychological war these people are playing against them.

Their only saving grace is their norms which is deeply rooted in common sense. That's why they've not been wiped out.

Children of surrogacy often time struggle with i identity crisis.


Children of surrogacy struggle so much with trauma upon finding out they came to world from two three different people especially if the mother is medically fit to birth them to the world.
They feel unloved and no motherly bond.

Children of surrogacy feels they're different from normal human God created.

Children of surrogacy especially from feminist are destructive they view things from a wiccccked lens caused by the environment they come from grin

In the future... child of surrogacy is going to be a slur word against innocent children because they're like GMO grin grin

DomPerignon:
Did I tell you her state of her womb?

I said women who opt for surrogacy usually have a damaged womb and such is usually caused by damages done due to abortion.

Interprete it however you want.
Someone who sees pregnancy as a punishment against women but choose to punish another woman with pregnancy. 😆

DomPerignon:
Story.

I am even suspecting the first.

She got married in 2009 and supposedly had her first child 7ys later in 2016.

She is currently going to be 49ys this year that means she had her first child at the ripe old age of 39.

That woman has been struggling with fertility issues and most women who opt for surrogacy is because their wombs are totally destroyed .

This is usually as a result of multiple abortions or a botched one that damaged the womb.
In all these, the surrogacy is not my problem but the person involved.

Damaged wombhuh🤔
Well nothing is ever wrong with feminists

There is a reason our people say one should not cry more than the bereaved. It is strange to see such public wailing for a child she never carried in her womb nor birthed.
Someone who doesn't know what it means to be a mother is here shading crocodile tears.
The only credit I can give her is providence not as a mother but as a nanny, so if she's crying in the position as a nanny that's fine😎

Rest in peace innocent man..
