Bimpe, I will give you a baby as a Valentine’s gift.

This is noise to me. As soon as I saw the title, it didn’t ring a bell. If the performance hits front page, expect at least a thousand views. Na Yoruba song. I’ve never heard it in my existence.

Na by motor person dey show love?

Lock them in prison and throw away the key. Not even old age will give these ones sense.

Nigerians will always wonder why non-smokers catch lung cancer, yet they will never piece the reality with the fact everyone buys cars when rich.

Bimpe, come and I will pregnant you.

South Africans and violence. Very angry people. The worst part is they’re afraid to inflict violence on whites. When it comes to people of their colour, they become savage beasts.

A dash cam captured the fatal attack of a 22 year old Nigerian e-hailing/ Bolt driver Isaac Satlat in Pretoria. The young man was hijacked and strangled last night in Pretoria.

His body and the car were found some kilometers away in Moshongo, Attridgeville just outside Pretoria.

Satlant was a student and he was due to graduate next month and plans were underway for him to move to Canada to continue with his studies.

Valentine’s Day in the mud. ROFLMAO. Nairaland children will still prakk while sweating like goats. Na una destiny for this life.

…but she hasn’t walked out of the marriage.

Popular Hair Vendor Esther Okereke Accuses Husband of Eight Years of Domestic Abuse, Fears for Her Life



In a harrowing video that has gone viral across social media platforms, popular Nigerian hair vendor Esther Okereke, known for her business Hair House Nigeria, has publicly accused her husband, Justice Okereke Eze Chimere, of prolonged domestic violence and an attempt to seize her properties. The distressing clip, first shared on Instagram and later reposted on X (formerly Twitter), shows Okereke covered in blood, pleading for public intervention and holding her husband accountable should anything happen to her.

In the video, Okereke, appearing visibly injured and emotional, states: "In case anything happens to me, you people should know that Justice Okereke Eze Chimere from Okpala town in Ngor Okpala local government area of Imo State killed me. Know that Justice wants to kill me to take over my house and property." She further explains that upon returning from a business trip to Vietnam, she discovered her husband had taken her house documents and fled. "He has been maltreating me for the past eight years," she adds, recounting how she informed him and his family of her desire to end the marriage due to the ongoing abuse.

The video, which surfaced on February 11, 2026, quickly sparked outrage and concern online. On X, users expressed sympathy and urged Okereke to seek immediate help from authorities and family. One reply read: "She should involve her family members immediately. Let her leave the man and involve police and her lawyers. Please stay safe." Another user commented: "For 8 years. He even took her house documents. Women should learn to leave toxic relationships or marriage." The post has garnered thousands of views, likes, and shares, highlighting the growing conversation around domestic violence in Nigeria.

Okereke, who runs the successful hair business @hairhousenigeria on Instagram, emphasized in her plea that she could no longer remain silent. "At this point I won’t be silent anymore. I need help, I’m coming with my story," she captioned the original post. Reports indicate that similar videos have been shared across multiple accounts, amplifying her cry for help.

Wait for an official announcement and stop concluding.

From all indications, it is obvious that the Almighty National grid is down again.

Who else is experiencing total blackout since morning ?

Nigerians should tie their tubes and stop birthing like it’s a competition. Those knee deep in poverty birth twenty children like it is their only mission in life. Blame your leaders. At least they make themselves comfortable while deceiving the masses.

SMerchant:
Sensible ones?
Or those that are forced to be insensible by poverty?
Half a decade is 5 years and 5 million naira means 1 million per year. About 416,000 per Month and 14,000 per day...
Remind me the minimum wage again?
A country where about 135 million people are swimming in extreme poverty out of about atleast 220 million people. That about 60% of the population.

I don’t support any government. I slug things out regardless of which party is in power. My end goal is to japa before thinking of starting a family. For the meantime, I have to make myself comfortable while hustling for funds.

May God have mercy on everyone.

Nemesis0147:
You APC supporters are so wicked and unreasonable….how many Nigerians has 5m as savings not to talk of coughing the amount just for solar installations with hike in price of commodities and low minimum wage of this country?
God have mercy on people like you.

Okay. Good to know. My generator proves otherwise.

allthingsgood:
You lie. Even with solar power, U still need nepa. We all know that solar inverter is best charged with nepa light. Na today

Many Nigerians have the money and don’t want to. Deceit too much for this country. Some people are wicked to their own selves talk less of their neighbours.

LeeSmart:
The ending part of this ur comment is very insensitive sir.... with the level of poverty in the country, how many Nigerians do u think can be able to raise that amount of moeny for solar power? That you're making it look like Nigerians have the money but they don't want to disconnect from the National grid?.
It's well sha

Abeg, read my comment again. Your matter pass me.

keemsleek:
If Peter obi wins will he be staying in his house or Aso rock? Dies Aso rock belong to tinubu? Will coming president not enjoy it?

Many. The same way everyone complains that fuel is expensive yet leisure spots are full to the brim.

MrSly:
So one million on electricity alone annually. How many Nigerians can afford it?

You haven’t touched the half decade mark and you claim my calculation is wrong. This Nairaland, sha.

tnerro1:
That your half a decade is too low, I have been using 8 200ah batteries for 4 years now with 16 solar panels 10kva inverter and it is still working, even if I replace all the batteries with new ones in 4 years time, e no go still reach 5m

Hopefully, things will get better for them. I’ve noticed the less houses which consume electricity, the better the service for everyone else.

Bimpe29:
It's really not what you are thinking 🤔 Who no like better life? Majority of the underserved power consumers don't have the financial capacity to go off-grid, if they do, they would have opted out of epileptic power ecosystem.

It is the system we’ve seen. We have no choice but to survive.

Princedapace:
So, if I spend 5m to generate electricity for my self, I will still give Tinubu 25percent of my personal income aside other taxes? Them swear for us in this country?

Buy a lighter. At least if the match doesn’t catch, you ignite it with the alternative. I buy lighters, but water and oil kill them very fast.

Deicide:
You would light like 10 before one go catch. Something needs to be done about this

Aso Rock has left the grid. Nigerians will truly suffer. In the same way I get shocked whenever NEPA takes people’s electricity and laugh at news of the grid failing, our presidents will think all the bad news concerning electricity are made up. Sensible ones have since parted from the grid. I pity una wey remain. 5 million Naira will solve your electricity issues for half a decade. Remain stingy to yourselves. Una too like hard life.

iwaeda:
The Aso Rock Presidential Villa is expected to fully disconnect from the national electricity grid by March 2026 following the completion of its solar power project, the State House Permanent Secretary, Temitope Fashedemi, has disclosed.

Fashedemi made the revelation on Wednesday while defending the State House 2026 budget before the Senate Committee on Special Duties at the National Assembly complex in Abuja.

This is according to details of the proceedings transmitted to State House correspondents by the Presidency on Wednesday evening.

He told the committee, chaired by Senator Kaka Lawan (Borno Central), that the solar installation was completed towards the end of 2025 and had been undergoing testing since December.

“We are hopeful that maybe by March we’ll be able to do a full cutover,” Fashedemi said, adding that the transition would deliver significant cost savings for the government.

The Permanent Secretary cited the State House Medical Centre as proof of the project’s viability.

The facility, he argued, completed its own solar installation in May 2025 and has since operated entirely without generator power.

He stated, “I have to say that since that time, the generator in that State House Medical Centre has not been put on for one minute since May last year.

“Only a couple of months, we used three per cent from AEDC (Abuja Electricity Distribution Company), so the rest has been strictly from the solar and from the battery electric storage system.”

The Federal Government budgeted N10bn for the “Solarisation of the Villa with Solar Mini Grid” project in 2025.

The move that sparked widespread criticism from Nigerians who argued that the decision to install solar panels at Aso Rock amounted to an admission that the Tinubu administration could not fix Nigeria’s epileptic power supply.

The 2026 Appropriation Bill contains an additional N7bn allocation for the project.

However, the Director-General of the Energy Commission of Nigeria, Mustapha Abdullahi, defended the project in April 2025, describing it as unsustainable for the Villa to continue paying an estimated N47bn annual electricity bill.

Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, had also cited the White House’s use of solar energy as justification for the initiative.


Before the solar transition, the State House had accumulated electricity debts nearing N1bn.

In February 2024, AEDC listed the Presidential Villa among the top government debtors with an outstanding bill of N923.87m.

My country men will always worship money without asking how it was made. A sad situation.

So so fake story full social media. Thank God I use only here and Reddit.

Only a young female will think this up. Sense is far from them. When nature forces them to settle aka mid thirties, they seek the same characteristics they loathed during younger years. The qualities for a good boyfriend and those for a good husband are totally opposite.

“He’s a Good Man, But My Heart Changed” — Lady Seeks Advice on How to Call Off Her Engagement



A young woman has sparked widespread emotional reactions online after opening up about her internal struggle with ending her engagement to a man she describes as loving, supportive, and kind.

According to her account, the couple had been together for two years and shared what she called a deeply fulfilling relationship built on love, laughter, growth, and shared dreams for the future. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

“We grew together, laughed a lot, planned our lives, and spoke about the future like two people who were certain about each other,” she revealed.

The woman explained that shortly after accepting her fiancé’s proposal, she began experiencing an unexpected emotional shift.

“He didn’t hurt me, he didn’t change, and he’s still the same caring person I fell in love with,” she said. “The problem isn’t him. The problem is my heart.”

She noted that the excitement she once felt about marriage gradually faded, leaving her feeling uncertain about taking the next step, despite her fiancé’s consistent love and support.

In her confession, the woman admitted she tried to suppress her feelings by praying, staying quiet, and hoping the uncertainty would disappear with time. However, she eventually realized that ignoring her emotions would only lead to deeper regret.

“I didn’t want to hurt him, so I kept quiet,” she said. “But deep down, I know I’m no longer sure about marrying him.”

Her story has since triggered discussions online, with many users emphasizing the importance of emotional honesty before marriage, even when no wrongdoing exists on either side.

While some commenters encouraged her to communicate her feelings openly and respectfully, others praised her for recognizing her doubts before marriage rather than after.

Relationship experts have long maintained that uncertainty before marriage, when ignored, can lead to long-term emotional damage for both partners.

As conversations around emotional readiness, self-awareness, and honest communication continue to grow, many have described the woman’s story as a reminder that love alone may not always be enough to sustain a lifelong commitment.

1. Fake story.

2. It means he’ll serve kuli kuli and groundnut in his second wedding. Marriages are long relationships. If e tire you, end am. No time for useless partners in this short life.

A Nigerian man has sparked intense reactions on social media after revealing that his cousin’s marriage, which allegedly cost over ₦60 million, has collapsed barely a year after the wedding.

The claim was shared in a post on X (formerly Twitter), where the man narrated what he described as a shocking turn of events surrounding the lavish union. The post has since gone viral, igniting debates around marriage expectations, domestic violence allegations, and the risks involved in cross-border relationships. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

In his post, the man wrote:

“Marriage when my cousin spend more than 60 million last year April don scatter.”

He further alleged that the situation became complicated following accusations of domestic abuse.

“Apparently, the girl even scratched herself with stuff and reported to the police that he abused her,” he claimed.

The allegations, however, remain unverified, and no official statements have been issued by the individuals involved or relevant authorities.

According to the post, the situation allegedly escalated in the United States, where the cousin was said to be working as a nurse anesthetist.

“My cousin who is a nurse anesthetist, making over $300k, has been fired for domestic violence and is now driving Uber in Florida,” the man added.

The claim has raised questions online, with many users noting that such serious allegations often involve complex legal processes and multiple sides to the story.

The revelation has generated mixed reactions, with some users expressing sympathy for the man’s cousin, while others urged caution, stressing the need to hear all sides before drawing conclusions.

Others used the incident to highlight broader discussions about marriage pressure, the belief that expensive weddings guarantee stability, and the legal realities of relationships abroad.

As of the time of this report, the claims remain allegations, and further details surrounding the incident have not been independently confirmed.

People on Nairaland come here to waste others’ time.

My opinion is you should travel out. I doubt the UK still does the extended visa thing after university. Try another country which you can use as a gateway to the UK in the future. The major reason to travel out is the exposure. Once you see life there, Naija go tire you. The way you think changes completely — mostly for the better.

Naya261:
I am planning of travelling to the UK for my Msc programme. My main purpose of travelling is as a means of jakpa not that I really need the Msc. I sold the land i bought in Asaba in 2018 for N22m. I plan to use the money for the tuition fee deposit ( £5,000) and other travel expenses. The complete tuition fee is £15,330. I will study and work in other to pay the remaining balance.

My plan is to remain in the UK and work after my study. Please I need your advice.

What did the pot call the kettle?

thrillionaire:
Criticism. Is that your only contribution??

Nairaland doesn’t verify stories, yes. Nairaland posts lies, yes. I don’t know what to believe regarding the thread. I honestly don’t care. Food cost for market.

Look at the one that they said 2face picked burna boy above Davido and Wizkid, 2face never said any of that common sense should tell you that 2 face will never say that kind of a thing in public
