https://www.nairaland.com/8601145/it-finishedKobolanderSegun: My phone broke down so I had to dig out an old phone from from 2010 to use as I repair the phone, on that old phone a pictures of my female love interest from 2008.
Omo I loved this girl so much I went mad when we broke up. When I say mad I mean like loco. So loco I had to go and chill with my parents for rehabilitation.
I'm looking at the pictures now. And I'm glad she was in my life in 2008. She has gotten married and also divorced . When I say also divorced I'm not including myself as a divorcer or divorcee..... Whatever.
I'm wandering what would have happened had we continued or gotten married... As I look at her pictures even her wedding photos the only thing I feel is joy and happiness because I was madly in love with her.
She made the mistake they all make " I'm beautiful now, let me enjoy myself " " let me date as many men, recieve as many gifts and presents, let me enjoy myself "..
It's an extremely childish way to think even men who have so much money want as many women as possible. But the truth is the human heart will tell you " This is the One, Do not let go ".
Money cannot buy love, neither can beauty buy love. We know deep down who loves us the most, who will go the extra mile for us without our even asking.
As I look at her pictures I look at her obese pictures also. Someone who was always endowed and curvy has become shapeless like amoeba.
Maka Why?
Why ?
A woman's food is a man
A woman's food is a man who loves her
A Woman's food is a man who always Praises her
A Woman's food is a man who buys her gifts and Presents
A woman's food is a man who gives her sweet banana
A woman's food is a man who will never cheat on her.
When a woman does not have a man who loves her her food becomes food and she will eat and eat and eat.
Do I still love her ? Yes Very much so after the hell she put me through.
The real question is does she love me.
She never did. I was just the main guy showering her with recharge cards, Perfumes, Chocolate, Money on a regular basis.while she was on the look out for other guys.
I cannot have anything to do with a woman who does not love me.
I like mine obsessed....... Clingy |

Celebrities › Re: Orowole Samuel Kolapoz 'Kola Onifoto' Is Dead by eepeepook: 8:53pm On Mar 02 |
He’ll never try it again. x Savageman247: In a heartbreaking turn of events, a young photographer and avid biker has lost his life following a motorcycle accident, just weeks after excitedly sharing his newfound passion for riding.
Orowole Samuel Kolapoz, popularly known as Kola Onifoto, passed away today at the age of 35 after sustaining severe injuries in a crash.
The incident unfolded shortly after Kola posted on Facebook on Sunday, March 1, about embarking on his first solo motorcycle trip from Lagos to Akure. "Heading out on my first solo ride out of Lagos to Akure," he wrote, brimming with enthusiasm.
Tragically, within hours of the post, friends began sharing alarming updates on social media. Reports indicated that Kola had been involved in a serious accident and was rushed to the emergency unit at the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) facility at 7UP, Ojota, Lagos. He was subsequently transferred to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) for further treatment, where loved ones rallied online, calling for prayers and support.
Despite the best efforts of medical teams and the outpouring of hope from his community, Kola succumbed to his injuries on March 2.
The irony of the situation is stark. Only a few weeks earlier, on January 15, Kola had proudly announced on social media that he had fulfilled a lifelong dream by becoming a biker. Accompanying a photo of himself posing confidently beside his new motorcycle, he captioned it: "I recently became a new biker. One of my life dreams clocked and achieved! I won’t fall and die on this - Amen!"
Kola was a multifaceted individual, wearing many hats in his short but vibrant life. Beyond his love for motorcycles, he was a talented photographer, an Uber driver, a naval officer, and a writer. His diverse pursuits reflected a man full of ambition and zest for life.
Tributes have flooded Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) as friends, family, and admirers mourn his untimely passing. Messages of shock, grief, and fond memories paint a picture of a kind-hearted soul who touched many lives.
This tragedy serves as a somber reminder of the risks associated with road travel, particularly on motorcycles. Authorities have yet to release official details on the cause of the accident, but it underscores the importance of safety precautions for all riders.
Our thoughts are with Kola's family and friends during this difficult time. Rest in peace, Kola Onifoto. |

The vessels were being lined so as to supply USS Truxtun with supplies but something went horribly wrong and the USS Truxtun slammed onto the broadside of the Merchant Supply vessel.
This is beyond a competency crisis but looking more like a mutiny to sabotage the combat vessel so as to return back to dock for repairs.
Remember, a similar incidence occurred involving the USS Gerald Ford aircraft carrier which is now heading back to dock over the collapse of its sewage system that was caused by sailors onboard stuffing T-shirts down the toilets to clog the sewage system.
It seems American sailors don't want to fight Israel's provoked and senseless wars anymore. |
Politics › Re: Woman In Love With Her DSS Hero Is 22 – Women Affairs Minister by eepeepook: 1:47pm On Feb 27 |
Rubbish AI image. Guyman02: Walida Abdulhadi, the woman at the centre of the controversy over alleged abduction of a minor and relationship with an operative of the Department of State Services (DSS), for whom she birthed a baby girl, is 22 years old, Minister of Women Affairs, Hon. Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, has confirmed.
The minister said the confirmation was on the heels of the verification of Walida’s birth records by the National Population Commission (NPC).
The Minister made the disclosure on Thursday in Abuja, on the heels of reports that the DSS on Wednesday night released Walida and her newly- born baby to the Governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Umar Namadi.
GWG.ng reports that Walida was reportedly abducted from her home in Jigawa State and eventually found herself in Abuja and eventually was released through the involvement of a DSS operative named Ifeanyi with whom she eventually fell in love with and had a child for.
Addressing journalists shortly after holding a private session with Walida at the DSS headquarters, the minister said the Nigerian government is a signatory to several international laws and conventions protecting the life and rights of citizens, including women and children.
She stated that her ministry was aware of the threats to Walidi’s life, stressing, “her safety remains the overriding priority in all decisions concerning her.”
She stated, “Her continued stay in the custody of the Department of State Services has been voluntary, following credible threats to her life. Walida’s wellbeing has also been independently assessed by the Nigerian Medical Association, confirming that her health and safety are being appropriately safeguarded.”
On the issue of age, the Minister said, “Let me reaffirm that Walida’s age has been officially verified by the National Population Commission; she is 22 years old. By the provisions of the Child Rights Act and the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, a child is defined as anyone under 18 years.”
She continued, “The Federal Government, under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, remains unwavering in its dedication to upholding the rule of law and safeguarding the rights and welfare of all citizens. I can see that from all available records, every action taken by the relevant institutions in this matter has been grounded in fairness, transparency, and strict adherence to the law.”
She affirmed that ” the Federal Government remains fully committed to justice, fairness, and the protection of all citizens, especially women and vulnerable persons. Let us all work together to uphold these principles for a safer, fairer, and more just Nigeria
“The coordinated efforts of the DSS, Walida’s family, civil society partners, and independent experts have been fully documented, jointly agreed upon, and directed toward one paramount goal: ensuring Walida’s safety, wellbeing, and dignity,” she stated.
She pledged that “the investigation will be formally concluded within the framework of Nigerian law, and its findings will inform any subsequent legal or administrative actions. Walida’s welfare, safety, and access to appropriate support services will continue to be assured.”

Crime › Re: Why Do Judges Break Their Pen After Passing A De@th Sentence? by eepeepook: 2:31pm On Feb 26 |
Seeing this thread for the fiftieth time. Is Nairaland progressing at all? giftson102: Have you ever heard that a judge breaks his pen after sentencing someone to de@th? Yes, it happens.
And no it is not drama. It is symbolic.
In some courts, especially in serious criminal matters, when a judge delivers a de@th sentence, the pen used to sign that judgment is deliberately broken.
But why?
Because that decision is final at the trial level. It is the heaviest judgment a court can pronounce one that affects a person’s life permanently.
Breaking the pen symbolises that: 🥢 The decision cannot be undone by the same court. 🥢 The judge has finished his duty in that matter. 🥢 The court does not take pleasure in such a sentence.
It is the judiciary’s quiet way of saying: “This is not an ordinary judgment.”
The act also reflects the emotional weight of such a decision. Judges are human beings. Passing a de@th sentence is not something done casually or happily. It is done strictly according to the law and evidence before the court.
Now, let me clarify something important. The law does not say a pen must be broken. It is more of a traditional practice than a strict legal requirement.
And remember even after a de@th sentence at the High Court, the person still has the right to appeal to higher courts.
So the breaking of the pen does not mean hope is completely lost. It simply marks the seriousness of that moment.
Justice is not entertainment. It is heavy.
And sometimes, it carries life-changing consequences. |
Travel › Re: Guy With SA Mom, Naija Dad Shares New Life In Igbo Village - PICTURES by eepeepook: 2:29pm On Feb 26 |
Pointless news. xxxxxxxx RandDigital: Digital creator Chibuike Avukonke Udesike was raised in South Africa, shaped by Xhosa culture and speaking isiXhosa daily as part of his upbringing.
In recent years, however, he has built a new life in Nigeria — not as a visitor, but as someone who has immersed himself deeply enough to become fluent in Igbo and confidently claim it as part of who he is.
For someone raised in South Africa to a Xhosa mother and speaking isiXhosa daily, becoming fluent in Igbo is no small feat.
Igbo is one of Nigeria’s major indigenous languages, spoken predominantly in the southeastern region by the Igbo people, one of the country’s largest ethnic groups. Beyond communication, the language carries history, humour, spirituality, and communal identity. It is embedded in proverbs, music, storytelling and everyday village life.
Udesike has shared that it took him about three years to master the language.
On TikTok, where he posts under the name Chi-Chi, he has built a following of more than 208,000 people, amassing over 9.9 million likes. But what resonates most is not just the numbers — it is the message.
“Being Xhosa and Igbo is a flex. But being able to speak both isiXhosa and Igbo is a bigger flex,” he wrote in one widely shared clip.
The line was playful, but deliberate.
SA VERSUS NAIJA NARRATIVE
At a time when online discourse between South Africans and Nigerians can often lean toward rivalry or resentment, his content offers something different: pride without hostility.
He frequently refers to Nigeria as “back home.” In one video, accompanied by a Nigerian flag emoji, he wrote: “Now that I’ve gone back home can I rest.”
Laughing, he addressed the phrase “go back home,” noting that some assume there is struggle waiting elsewhere.
“It is fun here. We are not struggling,” he said.
He has also been open about facing negativity.
In one video, a TikTok user commented: “Manje sikubize kwerekwere (should we call you a kwerekwere)?”
The term “kwerekwere” is widely regarded in South Africa as a derogatory label used for foreign nationals, particularly fellow Africans. It has historically been associated with xenophobic attitudes and has been used to mock the sound of unfamiliar languages.
Instead of reacting with anger, Udesike laughed.
“As long as you are happy, mntasekhaya,” he replied, using the isiXhosa word meaning fellow home person.
But he then addressed the deeper issue directly.
“One thing I can never apologise for is being an Igbo man,” he said in another clip. “I am very proud of being Igbo. I owe no one an apology for being Igbo. What stands is that I am an Igbo man.”
In a separate caption, he acknowledged facing “rude comments and insults from rude people,” but added: “What remains is the fact that I’m still a graduate that passed with 10 distinctions.”
His responses follow a pattern: humour first, dignity always.
His Igbo name, Chibuike — meaning “God is strength” — reflects that steady confidence.
Yet while he embraces Igbo culture, he never erases his South African roots.
INCLUDING HIS PARENTS IN HIS CONTENT
Standing beside his mother in one video, he wrote: “When the topic is about having the best mom, I stand up and speak about my Xhosa mom.”
In another, he shared footage of his mother attempting to roast yam over an open fire for the first time in an Igbo village.
“My South African mom making roasted yam for the first time in the village,” he captioned it.
The scene — firewood crackling, laughter in the background — symbolised more than cooking. It reflected cultural exchange happening at family level.
A Xhosa mother participating in Igbo village life speaks to something larger than relocation. It signals welcome, curiosity and blending.
ONLINE REACTIONS
In the comment sections beneath his videos, many followers from both South Africa and Nigeria respond with encouragement and admiration. Some share their own cross-border marriages. Others say they are inspired to learn each other’s languages.
While criticism and xenophobic remarks do appear, they are often outweighed by messages of unity and support.
Udesike’s story does not ignore prejudice. It acknowledges it. But it refuses to centre it. Instead, it centres language, family, pride and love.
From strong Xhosa roots to Igbo pride, his journey is not about choosing one identity over another. It is about expanding identity.
In a continent often described through conflict, Chi-Chi's message is simple but powerful: belonging can be shared.
And sometimes, love between South Africans and Nigerians does not begin in diplomatic meetings or political speeches.
It begins in village kitchens, in TikTok comment sections, and in a young man laughing — fluent in more than two languages — and proud of them both. |

Foreign Affairs › Re: Russian Soldiers Tell BBC They Saw Fellow Troops Executed On Commanders' Orders by eepeepook: 7:25am On Feb 26 |
1. Western propaganda. 2. If true, shit happens in war. Ironfaceman: Warning: This story contains details of extreme violence and reference to suicide.
Four Russian soldiers have exposed the horror and brutality of conditions on their side of the front lines in Ukraine, with two men telling the BBC they saw soldiers being executed on the spot for refusing orders.
One man told a documentary team he saw a soldier executed on the order of his commander, who was made a "Hero of Russia" in 2024.
"I see it - just two metres, three metres... click, clack, bang," he said.
Another soldier, from a different unit, says he saw his commander shoot four men himself.
"I knew them," he says of the soldiers executed. "I remember one of them screaming 'Don't shoot, I'll do anything!'"
One of them also says he saw 20 bodies of fellow soldiers lying in a pit after being "zeroed" by comrades. The term "zero" is Russian military slang for executing your own.
In the documentary, The Zero Line: Inside Russia's War, men give detailed accounts about how they were tortured for refusing to take part in assaults they describe as verging on suicide missions. Russian troops call these attacks "meat storms" as waves of men are sent across the front line relentlessly to try and wear down Ukrainian forces.
For the first time, the BBC believes, Russian soldiers from the front line say on the record how they witnessed commanders ordering executions of their own men.
One of the men, whose job was to identify and count dead soldiers, provided detailed lists showing that he is the sole survivor from a group of 79 men he was mobilised with. Because he refused to go to the front line, he says he was tortured and urinated on. Others in his unit who refused would be electrocuted, starved and then forced into meat storms unarmed, he says.
The four men, who are on the run, told of the horrors they witnessed at an undisclosed location outside Russia
Almost all public opposition to President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine has been stamped out in Russia. Official casualty numbers are not released by Moscow, but the UK's Ministry of Defence says more than 1.2 million Russian troops have been killed or injured since the full-scale invasion on 24 February 2022.
The Russian government says its armed forces "operate with utmost restraint, as far as possible under the conditions of a high-intensity conflict, treating their personnel with maximum care".
"Information regarding alleged violations and crimes is duly investigated," it added.
"We are unable to independently verify the accuracy or authenticity of the information you have provided," it said.
The detailed first-hand testimony from all four men also verifies reports of a breakdown of law and order on the Russian front line.
Ilya, the soldier who identified and counted the dead, is one of the men who says he saw comrades being killed by commanders.
Before the war, the 35-year-old taught children with special needs and autism in Kungur, in the Ural Mountains. Then in May 2024, police turned up at his parents' house and told him he was being called up.
He was mobilised alongside 78 other men, he says, at a recruitment centre in the city of Perm.
"Nearly everyone was drunk," he says. "Forwards into battle! We'll get Zelensky and raise our flag!" he recalls them shouting.
"I was watching them and thinking 'How did I end up here?' I was so scared."
Upon arriving in Ukraine, Ilya says most of the men were sent straight to the front line. He says he did not want to shoot or kill anyone, and ended up at a command post.
Conditions were brutal, and he says he witnessed four people being shot at point-blank range by a commander - one in Panteleimonivka, and three in Novoazovsk, both in Russian-occupied Donetsk in eastern Ukraine - because they had fled the front line and refused to return.
The saddest thing is that I knew them. I remember one of them screaming 'Don't shoot, I'll do anything!' but he [the commander] zeroed them anyway," Ilya says.
Zeroing is usually carried out as punishment for refusing orders, and acts as a means of intimidation for others who may be thinking of doing the same, the men told us.
"Your fate depended on your commander. The commander is on the radio: 'Zero this one, zero that one,'" Ilya says.
Executions of soldiers who refused orders were not confined to Ilya's unit.

Abiodun don cook up another story. These children believe we have nothing to do with our time. Candycindy: Good day everyone, I was born in Nigeria but moved to Europe when I was 10. I’ve been living here for almost 10 years, and now I’m about to turn 20. Despite growing up, going to school, and having some education, I still don’t have my papers. This has made continuing my education or even building a stable life extremely difficult. My dad, who brought me here, has stopped providing for me. I don’t want to resort to anything illegal or unsafe to survive, so I’m seriously considering returning to Nigeria in 2027. I’m planning to save up as much as I can through jobs and small gigs — ideally, I want to come back with at least 5 million naira. I want to be with my mom and finally have some control over my life. My question is: with this amount, what kind of business or investment could I realistically start that’s not too risky, so I can build a stable future without losing money? Any advice, personal experience, or ideas would be hugely appreciated. Thank you. |
