What has your opps got to do with this non- related matter?
In which universe does a king ascend a throne without being duly orientated and indoctrinated? Oh, they conveniently forgot about that festival and it's rules?
So because the chief priest is taking the heat for his guy, we should swallow it hook, line and s(t)inker like you "wise" ones Much like your lords who make empty promises and later come back to deny ever saying such while you clap and dance for them?
Is this the first time the festival is holding since his reign?
Will an Ooni, Alaafin or a Sultan feign ignorance of his people's festival?
Abeg rest...avid reader.
Exousiang01: Did you read the part where the chief priest said the King was unaware? You must be an Obidient. You are the only people that will imagine things and run with them as facts even when the real facts are available.
Kings held court and acted as judges in ancient times. Therefore, the morning after videos of sexual harassment of women in the town went viral, the Ovie of Ozoro, His Royal Majesty, Barrister Anthony Uvietobore Ogbogbo, Ibuka I summoned everybody involved to his palace to find out what happened.
The Ovie was visibly angry. He said that he had received very many messages, including videos and pictures from the students union president, the vice chancellor of the university, senior state government officials from Asaba, other traditional rulers and prominent Isoko sons and daughters. He was shocked by what he saw.
Among the people that were summoned to his palace were leaders of the community like the chief priest, president-general, etc and leaders of the students unions. The people inside the palace did not know that the king had also invited the divisional police officer and the DPO and his men were waiting outside in the palace compound.
The king asked one of the leaders of the community what happened the previous night.
The leader said that the chief priest came to tell them that the diety wanted to celebrate the festival and that they should make an announcement that women were not supposed to come out when they were coming back from the festival.
The King asked what would happen to the women if they came out. Another person said, "Nothing". The king shouted on the person that said nothing, insulted him and told him that he was not speaking to him.
The king asked them whether the festival was a civic or traditional festival. The man said that it was a traditional festival. The king asked the man who was the head of the tradition in the kingdom. The man replied that it was the king. The king asked the man whether they informed him about the festival. The man hesitated for a while and then said that he thought that the chief priest would inform the king.
The king asked the chief priest whether he informed him. The chief priest said that they were supposed to inform him. The king shouted that the chief priest did not answer the question. He said that it's not a matter of "supposed to", did he inform the king. The chief priest said no. The king asked him whether he informed the president-general. The chief priest said no.
The king asked them when was the last time that the festival was held. The man said that it was held in 2022. The king asked the man whether what happened the previous night (rape) happened in 2022. The man first said no, then he said that he didn't know.
The king said that they would all make statements to the DPO outside.
The King said that he has been king for 22 years and he has never heard that rape is part of the festival. He said that many people had phoned him to find out what was happening and he didn't know what to tell them. He said that he couldn't say that he didn't know, because he would be indicting himself and he couldn't say that he knew because he would also be indicting himself.
He said that what happened was very serious and many human rights groups were taking it very seriously. He said that he was shocked when he saw the videos and pictures that were sent to him.
Don't you know that most of the people on this NL either don't have the data or patience to read through or watch videos before commenting?
Some just rush to comment for likes and political correctness.
No sane person who watches that full video will unequivocally blame that woman without seeing clearly that Marshal Abubakar is compromised.
See how condescending he was to her everytime the poor woman aired her frustrations and fears?
Yes, she may have goofed by cutting off Sowore tho she showed a chat informing him of some events but any desperate person at the short end of the stick like this woman was, would've made the same mistakes...Who wouldn't trust lawyer (offered by Sowore)
Even the commentator at the beginning of the video is so biased he sounds like one of the many paid stooges on NL.
99.9% of what's called "activism" in Nigeria is really personal exhibition and brand maintenance in disguise.
O.Y.O...One chance... dem go don off am...plus NL Resident Evil Supporters and their family members will say he deserved to be dealt with sef😎
smallsmall: I've always loved Afroman, that 'I got high' is a hit l still enjoy till today. and l also find his song "One hit wonder", very amusing and intelligent at the same time. the way he crafted it and responded to the insinuation of being a One-hit wonder, was so refreshing. Is it a trend, that White Police are always trying to destroy Black Men, especially the Rich and famous Black Men, Artistes, Sportsmen, etc, in the western World? Michael Jackson, George Floyd, R.Kelly, P. Diddy and many others on my mind..
But l am just thinking, Police are the same thing, all over the world: Sense of entitlement and being above the law, abusing their privileges and disrespecting the citizens. Now, what could have happened, if this incident happened in Nigeria? With they rob all his Trainers and that Music Box, his Jewelries and other stuffs, during the raid? Will they come back and raid his Home again or even shoot him in the process, after he made the Music taking a swipe at their initial behavior? Would they plant Drugs in his Home and then arrest him for it, as they do, during stop & search, at the various Road Blocks?
And after all said and done, can he ever get Justice in our Law Courts, with the kind of Judges we have in Nigeria at the moment?
Dem no look well at all...someone who sang about how he was supposed to eat some p**** but got high na him una go dey poke🤣...o boy
That's what happens when you f*** with an intelligent we*d smoker...they fu**up your life🤣🤣🤣
In a nation with rules that respect human dignity tho....see laff
naptu2: You might remember Afroman (real name Joseph Edgar Foreman). He's the rapper/singer who released the song Because I Got High in the year 2000.
Basically in the song he says that he was supposed to do all kinds of things (go to work, clean his house, etc), but he didn't because he got high and then he sings about the consequences. It's a very funny song.
In 2022 some policemen broke down Afroman's door and invaded his house on suspicion of kidnapping and drug traficking. Afroman said that they scared his children. No arrests were made and no charges were filed.
Afroman reviewed his CCTV footage of the raid and noticed several things. One of the policemen that was searching his kitchen saw a pound cake on the table, did a doubletake and looked longingly at it.
Afroman also accused the police officers of stealing four hundred dollars from his house.
The policemen damaged several things in Afroman's house (obviously including his door), but they refused to pay for them. So Afroman did the brilliant thing and released an album about the raid in order to pay for the damages. 🤣 These were what the songs were about.
1) One song is called Lemon Pound Cake and in it he makes fun of the size (fat) of the policeman that looked longingly at the poundcake.
2) In another song he makes fun of a female police officer's weight. In the video of the song she is chasing him, but she's too fat and can't catch him. He also makes claims about her gender and sexuality.
He used the real CCTV footage of the raid in the music videos. The songs went viral and did huge numbers on social media.
The police officers sued him for defamation of character and violation of privacy (because he used CCTV footage of them in the music video).
Remember what I said about defamation? It's your reputation that is on trial. The police officers had to endure difficult questions, all the music videos were played in court, etc. The police officers ended up crying in court. One of the police officers said that people were sending pound cakes to their station.
Well, Afroman won in court (the court ruled that he was within his free speech rights and that the police officers put themselves in the view of his CCTV cameras) and he has made another song about the trial.
Afroman says it's the police's fault. If they hadn't broken into his house, then his money would have been complete, his house would not have been damaged and he won't have made the songs.
Ajinomito actually showed people shege...e sweet but e dey purge belle
Kalulu44: Same thing they did to Ajinomoto seasoning. A very good spice for stew and Jollof, rumor circulated it was a bleach chemical they used in producing it. That was how that product died a natural death
Wow...memories...It's called Corporate Espionage. They don't care...it's a dog eat dog world.
There was this Laide Perfune Jelly with this catchy ad....laide de o...Tiwa ni..perfume jelly...
Most of these and many other indigenous ventures died from unfavorable biz environment/ factors
chicfarmer: Nigerian competitors always fly fake rumors to bring down other brands in order to sell their own.
I remember those days when Royco cube launched a new product called Royco stew, Omo Royco took over the market because the product was innovative and good. It made stew red, sweet and had good aroma. Suddenly everybody forgot about other seasoning cubes. Na Royco stew just dey reign.
Before you know it, one wicked rumor just surfaced that they use human blood to make the new Royco stew seasoning. Omo, that was how that excellent product just died because no one wants to imagine that he or she has been eating human blood
It was so sad 😢 So I'm not surprised about what happened to this man. Even without evidence, they can use wicked rumors to kill a good product. It's so wrong.
The ex-governors and the current one deserve to be flogged.
It's not only aniocha...90% of the roads are bad...Warri-Eku road leading to the Baptist hospital is a mess..even the bypass has become unusable that commuters now use the old road constructed by colonialists.
The visit there last year was such an awful experience it felt like delta wasn't part of Nigeria...imagine the advance team spent a day and half betwen Lag and Asaba. Unfortunately, the indigenes who obviously don't know any better think the suffering is normal and the gov is trying.
Lovelink1991: A lady has cried out over the poor condition of roads in the state despite the huge allocation coming into the state.
Delta state is one of the states receiving the highest allocation from the FG including state revenue generation coming from the state yet it is looking like this
Tell your electrician (rewire) to check your cold start....been there back in the day😎
If that doesn't work, then tell him to check the wire connecting the fuel pump to the engine console.
Pls go to a good "rewire"
Victory662: I recently bought a Toyota Corolla 2005 model, Nigerian used. Since then I've had this constant problem of hard starting. It's not very bad though, it picks after second or third kick, although in some cases it could be worse prompting my battery to run down.
I have explained the issue to about 4 mechanics, each of them telling me what they suspected could be the cause, I paid them and at the end of the day, nothing changed. I've spent over 300k on this very issue.
The only option I'm considering now is that of the latest mechanic that told me it could be fuel pump system pressure or electrical fault or both. I'm just afraid of spending money again because I'm already afraid it may not work. So NL family, have your car ever had this "spiritual hard starting" problem? And how did u get out of it?
Where in my post did I support violence or insinuate it's monopoly Which big picture are you on about exactly
Emphasis was on the situation reflecting the reality on ground all around Nigeria... not what spokespersons and other deceivers are painting.
The people are hungry...a hungry man is an angry man...goodluck getting them to queue up patiently for crumbs.
We were at the burial of a former Ambassador somewhere in the SW mid last year and while coming out of the service, our SUV (despite the presence of the lead pilot and chase) was almost toppled by a mammoth crowd of close to 5,000 people (I kid you not) "beggars" most of whom were women with todlers...I'd never seen such in my life. So it's not about party or anything but reality.
boxypane: You guys are really not seeing the true picture of things... Violence does not have monopoly. What stops them from following the advice of collect and still vote your choice? Must it result to chaos? Violence no get monopoly. We should watch what we support....
The first video depicts the true situation of the nation at the moment...let's hope they get the message.
You can't buy over obi Cubana (who's family currently reside abroad) and chiefpriest then assume that all the other poor people will fall in line with your agenda.
Honestly...no need for this his forced apology...he should be relocated to tehran...They will be in peaceful countries and be stoking a war they can't fight.
Dem plenty...they support the rubbish going on in those nations but give them a choice between Iran and the states,UK or Canade and they’ll never choose Iran
owobokiri: The DSS should have sent him to Tehran to defend his warped beliefs..
I sure hope the first dark boy who assaulted the junior student with a belt was also expelled....cos ain't seen that video.
I must say these confrontations between seniors and juniors happen...(I and all my mates had our fair share in Command) but this one seemed excessive...more personal and they both deserved to be expelled
Malagans: I read a post wherein a Student of a secondary school was expelled for Bullying his colleague. And that is what has informed my decision to write this.
Based on my observation, and the experiences I've had as a teacher, especially in private schools, parents are failing. There's a poor parental responsibility. This accounts for why many secondary school students are misbehaving. The schools which are meant to correct these misdeeds are rather the ones compounding and encouraging their misdeeds, insolence, insubordination and misdemeanours.
A teacher gives mathematics assignments to students, some groups of students consistently fail to do these assignments, and you can't do anything about it. But the school continues to blame you for that. You ask them to submit their notes for marking, some will not submit, the school owners go round checking their notes to see if they are marked by the subject teachers, and when the notes aren't marked, the teacher gets scolded right in the presence of same students. Like how?. I'm taking about SS1-3 students.
Imagine a student telling a teacher that's he's broke that's why he can't afford an Android phone. The teacher buys a brand new Android phone afterwards, and same student says it's a fairly used phone.
Imagine a student telling a teacher that all his clothes are Okrika clothes and not Ready-made clothes.
Imagine a student telling his colleague that a particular teacher is Stupid and then the teacher overheard it. Yet, no action is taken by the school mgt.
Imagine a student telling a his colleague that a teacher's head looks like a shield.
As a teacher, you can't flog these students and you must be very careful of how you verbally react, because, your reaction is going to be used against you.
If a student commits an offence and you tell you're going to report to the school owners, they are happy because they already know nothing will be done to them.
Students now bring their android phones to sch knowing fully well that its a contraband. Imagine students gisting themselves of how they watch porn on their phones. No matter how rich I become, I can never buy or allow my child to use an Android phone as long as they are still in secondary school. If they need to do an assignment online, I can lend them my phone. Android phone is a distraction.
I tried so hard to correct all these, but the school saw me as an enemy of the students. I was the best staff for two consecutive years, I was everywhere doing all I could for the school. Even on Saturdays and Sundays, I attend meetings on behalf of the school.
I was suppressed. I'm a no-nonsense kind of teacher. Very friendly, but strict. But somehow, I became a vegetable since I was restricted from doing what should be done.
One day, I got to work, I was really not comfortable any longer, during the break period, I told my boss that I was resigning and I handed over everything in my possession to them, cleared myself and left. Four days to payday, but I couldn't wait. My boss called to pacify me to reconsider my decision, but I said No. Till date, I never regretted that decision . Parents(some) and my good students(some) still call to check on me. I'm thankful to God for the lives I impacted. But right now, every passion I had for teaching is Gone. The passion is dead. School owners killed the passion.
My advise to young graduates should be to try as much as possible to learn a skill or two before graduation, so you can fall back to same skill(s) after graduation and earn a living with it. Do not go to any private school to teach, but if you must do so, do not stay there for Long. I repeat, Do not stay there for Long.
There was a time this wayward kid slapped the head of school at my kid's school...when the kids were discussing it, my kid said "ah if I try this my dad will kill me"...apparently someone who heard went to report what he said to the school and they called me saying sh*t like they wanted to understand the kind of environment he was living in at home...I asked the woman who called...can & will your kid be able to slap a school administrator? She said no...i said "well, I raised my kids to be respectful and he knows his limits...trust me, it could've escalated but it got sorted.
This bad child's parents bear a big part of the blame.
Orlandoo: You are not far from the truth. Some parents are something else. You cannot give what you don't have. The parents themselves lack home training too. Tell me how that boy walking with his shoulders high would train his children to be responsible in life. And the cycle continues.
See as him resemble the real Yar'Adua[best president 9ja ever had] for face but not in character...they should drop the sacks in his office or house gate...rubbish!
ogododo: People of Katsina Central have returned the rice that was given to them by Senator Abdulazeez Yar'adua.
APC must understand it is no longer business as usual in Northern Nigeria.
People of Katsina Central have returned the rice that was given to them by Senator Abdulazeez Yar'adua.
Recently, students and teachers of a school in the Ogba area of Lagos narrowly escaped death on Monday 9th of March 2026 after a four-storey building housing the institution collapsed minutes after they evacuated the structure.
A woman shares how her twin children narrowly escaped the school building collapse in Ogba, Lagos State, a few days ago❗
God is good 👍 I am happy all the students escaped.
It's really sad to hear and see how bad things have become in UCH.
It wasn't "eclxcellent" before but it worked...UCH was the pride of the nation even till 10 years ago, despite the nations challenges.
It was never this bad....UCH is now compared to state hospitals that always relied on her as the last resort😡
What now is the hope of the common Nigerian who cannot afford medical tourism like their cluelessuseless leaders who made several empty promises to fix the nations hospitals
Thank you for the good advice you guys have been giving us here.
Please I need a good and rugged phone for my wife, considering battery life, memory space and camera. Something not too fragile to be easily spoilt by my kids.
Abeg tell them o...he should not go to Oyo and spoil things....if you see how his blind supporters are clamoring, you will weep for the poor Nigerian/average 9ja yoot. It's like they're blind to their current realities....though rumors have it that their masta strategist is being prevailed upon to field one sharafadeen or so instead of him
Usmanovic95: Ready for what? federal government should hold on tight to him , we don't need him in Oyo state government house abeg.
Crime › Re: The King Of Ozoro Investigates Rape And Sexual Harassment In The Town by Greattha: 2:13pm On Mar 22
Much like your lords who make empty promises and later come back to deny ever saying such while you clap and dance for them?
