with many Nigerians thanking God for her safe return

God slept for the weeks before the video? Did He have a lesson to teach her?

Good to see she was released. The government has to do something regarding kidnapping.

Trying to appeal to investors. We’ll find out in the near future.

‘I kept saying I was 22 for three years’: Yemi Alade opens up about depression

I guess the fame also has dark sides. They always learn. They still won’t trade it for anything.

Yemi Alade has opened up about her personal struggles, revealing how she fell into depression at some point.

It happens to everybody. It’s called “living.”

She described the period as one of the darkest moments of her life.

How many times will this be repeated in the article? Word quota things? Hmm?

The Ondo-born artiste also admitted that she once struggled to accept her real age.

It’s sweet to say “I’m a twenty year old, twenty-three year old adult.” In your thirties, not so much.

The “Johnny” hitmaker noted: “There was a time someone asked me my age and I realised I kept saying for three years that I’m 22. Then I realised I was 25. I took out my phone and I did the mathematics. Whatever year that was, I did it from 1989. I was depressed for a few days.

She forgot out of ignorance and a total dedication to work, not any foolish reason about hiding it from men. My God, children here are so unexposed. Why get depressed that she hit twenty-five? That’s not even prime adult age in Nigeria.

”My mind was also not considering that years had passed, and I was so invested in my world. I had secluded myself and only focused on music. Now and then I would travel to see my mum, maybe twice a year or something.”

I said it. Easy to decipher from the article.

“But it was mental that for three years I didn’t know my right age because I was lost in the source. And so when that dawned on me, what about when I saw my first grey hair? It was the same thing. The time had passed”, said the songstress.

This varies. Some people go grey at thirty-three. Others at forty. Take care of yourself physically and time will crawl. I’m guessing she saw hers at thirty-three, thirty-four. She’s afraid to grow old? What did they teach this woman?!

The actress last made headlines in November 2024 when she accused Cool FM Nigeria and Clout Africa FM of blocklisting her for declining an invitation to their event.

Humans love to abuse power. No surprise here.

She added that she had been unaware that Cool FM and Clout Nigeria management had taken offence over the incident.

She learned that day.

She claimed this led to her music being blocked on both platforms for almost a year.

Do this to an entertainer and you’ve literally killed them. Their fans will remain. It won’t really affect their ability to tour. New people getting introduced to their music would halt for the time.

Yemi Alade further expressed her shock that her entire music catalogue had been removed from the stations’ playlists, effectively preventing her past or present songs from being aired.

A fair enough punishment. She’ll never try it again.

Proof?

Freshtruth:
You can never understand these genders

Congratulations. Keep going.

Hello guys,recently I have come to notice that the moment you make it clear to a Nigerian lady at talking stage that you are willing to abstain from baseless sex for at least 6months to a year in the relationship to be sure first of her qualities. Not once not twice have I noticed this...she loses interest. And I begin to wonder;

* Is sex truly the only female offering in a relationship?

* Do females grow cold feet because their sexual manipulation power is gone?

*Do these females give sex to hoodwink men into long fruitless relationships?

My experience......

The woman is bragging again.

The wedding of DJ Cuppy sister Temi Otedola and Mr Eazi was nothing less than spectacular hosted across Monaco, Dubai and Iceland in 2025, it drew wide media attention and was billed among Nigeria’s most extravagant ceremonies.

The dazzling affair set a high bar, with global coverage and celebrity guestlists.

But amid the glamour, DJ Cuppy (Florence Otedola) has revealed how uneasy her return to “normal life” has been following the celebrations.

This one that’s looking for marriage, women are using him to play ten-ten. I swear, these creatures do not fear God.

Bait.

Ice land is one of most cleanest country in the world

I hope someone can take me there for tourism

…and when they turn thirty, it stops working effectively. “All men want is sex” has an expiry date.

RollinTNDA:
Women use sex to achieve an end goal
For Men, Sex is the end goal
For women Sex is the vehicle they use to reach their end goal...

That is why women don't give it out freely

There must be something she wants from you before she gives you sex.
If she sees that there is nothing to gain from you. She will not give you sex.

When you have something
That is when women will open wide open

For Men sex is just pump and pour
For women Sex is a tool she use to get what she wants from you.

Your MONEY
Your tall cute genes
To be your wife
To make you commit to her

You must have something that she needs before she opens wide open.

women understand that men love sex and inorder to make men hunt, protect, commit to them. They will use sex as a tool to make sure she gets all her demands.

She would’ve been a fitting mate for him. Sha, men like what they like.

More women in one’s life equals more trouble. I will never understand why men don’t care to acknowledge this.

Every male na Casanova for Nairaland. I dey fold arms look una. Na still the same here una go use alternates dey toast fellow males wey dey pose as females. Comedy in 4K.

Examples?

matamaryam:
Indeed. Why shouldn't Nigeria join them?

Don’t mind the lazy children. They believe looking fit is a matter of luck.

I remember a female back in uni days who picked a lanky guy over me. Many years later, I realized she had low self esteem and couldn’t match what I had to offer. Some years after graduation, she came at me with many excuses why it happened and made moves for us to hook up in the real world. Unfortunately, I wasn’t idle like Nigerian universities make somebody. I had grown past wanting her.

Women secretly want fit guys. They claim they don’t in a bid to confuse the very boys making noise in this thread. Check the online followers of professional bodybuilders, they are mostly women. The realization shocked me. Their trolls are also ugly women who know they don’t stand a chance. Making the male angry and lash out is better in their eyes than complete indifference.

You don’t need to generalize, however I will. Nature reveals that the stronger male always gets the female. Humans are animals despite our delusions of grandeur.

The discipline from taking care of one’s body seeps into other aspects of someone’s life. The physical parts of my job are a breeze because of twenty minutes of daily exercise. The only difference between me and older men who perform those tasks is experience. They admire my physicality and still complain that exercise is difficult to adopt.

peanutbutterr:
the type of comment on this thread shows the quality of unfit low self-esteem men on this platform. there’s nothing wrong about a guy building his body the way he desire.

Fact about guys like this..
1. they are very disciplined. it takes a high level of discipline to stay true to a diet plan when building muscles.

2. they aren’t poor either. Gym rat’s aren’t broke as most people assume, not everyone does 9-5. visit i-fitness gym on admiralty way on a Monday morning, and see guys pulling up with mad suv, great place to network too or find the love of your life.

3. increased bedmatics and stamina. i give this one to sonnobax, his comment cracked me up

4. increased appetite, no big deal here.

5. not every gym bro is on steroid as most people assume. Just have a proper diet plan and supplement (whey protein and creatine supplement) and this type of body structure is very attainable in a year

6. women secretly complement guys built like this, they hate to admit, but deep down they know it’s true. the same way men compliment women with beautiful face and body. when you’re built like this, your sexual appeal is increased.
i’m not generalizing, but statistically if we organize a survey, most women and men inclusive will pick men built like this over some lanky looking dude.

if you think this type of muscle structure is too much then what would you call men built like ronnie coleman?

The same Reddit I opened just now? The fact many here know only Sango Ota doesn’t mean it’s the case for everyone.

Bad luck. End of story. Some die from cardiac arrest inside the plane. Enjoy yourself while alive. We don’t know tomorrow.

Oh, it’s this write-up again. Since 2014, it has made front page every year.

Bimpe, you will use my “this thing” as a teat.

If he finally goes, he should behave like Romans.

haj57:
A friend is going to Rome for a week long conference in December. He needs advice regarding flight, hotel, food, clothing, visa, etc. This is his first time flying .

OP is here to waste our time. Normal normal for Nairaland.

Jamahyel:
How sure are you he is going December, if he hasn't gotten visa yet ?

1. Didn’t read.

2. Congratulations.

I Finally Chose to Walk Away from My Marriage

After deep reflection and repeated attempts to make things work, I have decided to step away from my marriage for the sake of my peace, safety, and well-being.

For a long time, I have endured constant physical and emotional abuse from my wife. During disagreements, she often resorts to violence, slapping, hitting, and using hurtful words. On several occasions, she has even threatened me with sharp objects such as knives and scissors. Unfortunately, today, she carried out that threat and stabbed me in the neck. By the grace of God, it wasn’t fatal, but it was the final straw that made me realize I cannot continue living in fear.

Throughout our marriage, I have done my best to provide for our home and ensure we lacked nothing. Despite my efforts, I have never received her support, emotionally, mentally, or otherwise. I have never raised my hand against her, yet that restraint has often been taken for weakness, giving her the boldness to abuse me repeatedly.

My family, having witnessed much of what I’ve gone through, has now asked her to leave and packed her belongings. She has quarreled with nearly every member of my family and remains in conflict with them.

This decision to end the marriage is not out of anger but self-preservation. I am choosing to prioritize my mental, emotional, and physical health. I have nothing to hide and no intention to tarnish her image; I am only speaking the truth about my experience.

From this point forward, I am focused on healing, rebuilding, and finding peace again.

Political drama. They’re laughing, drinking spirits and brainstorming new ideas on how to make the matter captivating.

Money has changed hands and people are backtracking. The good thing about Tinubu’s administrations is he’s quick to settle disgruntled parties behind closed doors. You’ll hear groups shouting about protests only to sing different tunes twenty-four hours later. Effective, but it keeps corruption and mismanagement in motion.

We Are Not On Strike - ASUU COOU Progressives, Dissociates Self from Purportedly Circulated Strike Action Letter

By Mmaduabuchi Onwumelu

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Progressives (COOU) Branch has debunked what they described as a rumour, making the rounds that the University is on strike, even as they dissociated themselves from the purportedly circulated strike action letter.

This was contained in a statement jointly signed by the Chairman, ASUU COOU Progressives, Professor Innocent Ngangah, and the Secretary, COOU Progressives, Professor Onyema Iloh, and made available to newsmen.

'Our attention of COOU Progressives has been drawn to a circulating letter issued by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU COOU Branch), dated 14th October 2025, notifying staff and students of a commencement of a 14-Day warning strike.

'We wish to categorically state that the said letter does not represent the official position of the academic community of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (COOU) Anambra State, Nigeria. The COOU Progressives, a responsible and forward-looking body of academics, hereby dissociate ourselves from the purported strike action.

'We reaffirm COOU Progressives are not on strike. Teaching, supervision, research, examination, and all other academic and administrative activities in the university will continue as scheduled. Members of the Progressives are fully committed to maintaining academic stability and ensuring uninterrupted learning and research activities within our institution.

'We therefore direct all our members and the entire student body to disregard the misleading circular and continue with their normal academic engagements without fear or hesitation. The Progressives remain focused on constructive dialogue, academic excellence, and the overall development of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University. We appreciate your cooperation, dedication, and understanding as we collectively uphold the integrity and progress of our great institution,' the statement read.

These Nollywood starlets are in competition with each other for who’ll possess the largest BBL bum. I don’t know if it’s male directors who do it or the women force it on them, there are always scenes where their posterior is the major focus. Another thing they enjoy doing is performing a 360 which ends in highlighting the augmented bottom.

I can’t complain. I enjoy seeing it. What I hate is the flabby arms which reveal the women depended solely on surgery and nothing else. A cute face with a big booty makes me salivate.

Is Atiku learning? Is this the legacy he wants written in the minds of Nigerians?

For the first time in history, Sahara Reporters posted the truth. The Lord is good. These officials can keep the situation secret. The masses already know what’s happening. When he dies now, we’ll hear “a brief illness.” Na their way.

The sources said the minister had taken ill in recent days but dismissed earlier rumours that he had suffered a stroke or was incapacitated.

Maybe he really is broke. Akon is the number one rapper to claim that entertainers live fake lives. We’ve finally seen his claim to be true. His lies were so sweet that his wife fell for them.

Any iPhone from 7 and upwards is water resistant. She’s proven nothing.

Autumn and winter are cuffing seasons that way. What you explained must be the Gen Z definition.

And in the west this is the hobosexual season so women are advised to hide their homes and hide their cars. 😅
