Validated: It is quite unfortunate that Wike is not aware that he has been buried politically.
As it stands now, he cannot decamp to the APC, if he does, he will be under Fubara and PDP under Seyi Makinde will galvanize to deal Tinubu a deadly blow. Wherein he lost his only assignment.
If he remains in PDP, he has no power to stop Fubara in the APC primaries, where $$ buy votes. As the party leader, Fubara decides the delegates and card carrying members at the primaries. Hope Uzodinma has been 'nominated' to conduct APC primaries in Rivers. Do not ask me how I know.
Shagreenn: listen carefully, because this is one of those stories that stays with you long after the video ends.
Imagine waking up one morning and hearing screams on your street. Not the normal noise of traffic or children playing. This was different. Loud, painful screams. A grown man crying like a child, running without direction, tearing his clothes, and shouting words that made people stop in fear.
In a quiet Nigerian community, a young man known around the area as a Yahoo boy suddenly ran mad in public. People who knew him said he was not like this before. He was calm. He dressed well. He moved with confidence. He was one of those young men people believed had “made it”.
But that morning, everything changed. Neighbours came out of their houses when they heard him screaming. Some thought he was under the influence of hard drugs. Others thought he had been attacked spiritually. But as people gathered, they realised this was not ordinary madness.
The young man began to speak. And what he said shocked everyone. He confessed openly that he had killed his two biological sisters. At first, people did not believe him. Some thought it was just the words of a mad person. But he kept repeating it. Crying. Kneeling on the ground. Beating his chest. Calling their names. Begging for forgiveness from the air.
He said he killed them for rituals. These were not strangers. These were his own sisters. Girls he grew up with. Girls who shared food with him from the same pot. Girls who trusted him completely. As the crowd grew larger, fear spread. People were scared to even stand close to him. Mothers held their children tightly. Some people started crying.
Then he said something even more frightening. He said after killing his two sisters, he was instructed to kill his mother as the final sacrifice. According to his confession, he was promised wealth. Big money. A life of comfort. Cars. Respect. Power. Everything many young people dream about.
He said the ritual instructions were clear. The sacrifices had to be close blood relatives. That was why he used his sisters. When it was time for his mother, he said he could not do it. He said he followed her to her room. He saw her sleeping. He raised his hand. But his body refused to obey his mind. He said that was the moment his heart failed him.
He said he remembered how she suffered for him. How she sold things to send him to school. How she prayed for him every morning. How she believed in him. He said he dropped the weapon and ran out. That was when everything changed. He said immediately after refusing to kill his mother, his body became weak. His head began to spin. He started hearing voices. He felt like something was chasing him. He said his mind snapped.
Jakumo: Having spent enough years residing in America and in Nigeria, I disagree 100% with the opinion expressed by this rapper who claims that the USA is more dangerous than Nigeria. If the rapper had claimed that GHETTOES in America are more dangerous than Nigeria, his statement would be factual due to the prevalence of "Saturday Night Special" cheap and disposable $50 handguns in most American ghettoes, where the gang and drug culture has decimated generations of semi-educated black Americans.
From coast to coast USA, the odds of falling victim to gang violence drop off steeply as soon as one leaves the inner-city ghetto, and moves into any middle class suburb, even if that safe haven is just a few blocks from the ghetto's boundary lines.
In Nigeria, however, there is NO "safe neighborhood" because kidnappers and armed robbers can strike anywhere and any time, against any and all Nigerian citizens who cannot afford to have armed police guards. When driving along any highway in Nigeria, the risk of getting ambushed and kidnapped that is prevalent all over Nigeria, simply does NOT exist in ANY American city or rural area.
Unless one is wealthy and connected enough to charter helicopters for routine inter-city travel in Nigeria, literally ANY road trip could wind up becoming a one-way trip into hell. The absence of any such ambush danger along ALL highways in the USA , taken as a single factor of consideration, makes Nigeria orders of magnitude more dangerous than any part of America, including the Deep South.
More than likely, the American rapper visiting Nigeria spent his entire holiday in an up-scale area like Lekki or Victoria Island in Lagos, and on noting that there was no gunplay as is a normal occurrence in American ghetto night clubs, concluded WRONGLY that the entire nation of Nigeria must be safer than his ghetto "hood" stateside.
Sex has always been transactional in Nigerian society
Tinubu's venal policies have however lowered the price of pv§§y to an unprecedented nadir...99% of the men coming from USA/Europe for 'Detty December' are in actual fact coming on sex tourism
And have you noticed how aggressively Nigerians beg these days? I've had to steer clear of many of my usual haunts simply because my safety is no more guaranteed unless I spread a huge wad of cash round the local boys in such places, people like Ibedun who can't expect to survive their self-invited socioeconomic catastrophe unless they divest themselves of every shred of dignity
Goodmarlian: Early last month I met this girl on campus where I work in one of Lagos prestigious higher Instititions,the time I met her she was sick and had no one to support her, I was a bit okay financially so I bought her drugs and food steadily until she got better,her parents were late as she narrated to me and she was staying with her aunt and the aunt wasnt financially stable to sponsor her education so she really struggled In school to keep up,Infact the aunty wants her to drop out of school and face her hair dressing skill until when they are financially stable because it was becoming difficult for her but this girl stubbornly refused and insist she will continue with school which I felt was a courageous decision from her.
I really liked the girl and she herself was also In Love with me due to me being caring towards her,and we were really attached to each other however things got bad ever since she started working in one hair saloon inside campus, her female co-workers are beginning to Influence her negatively, I feel there is this coworker of hers that encourages her to start billing me heavily that I have money ,suddenly she started feeling entitled, if I give her money to go eat she no longer says thank you, she will just grab the money from me and move, sometimes she will deep her hands in my pocket and remove money which I really hate. I started to think I am training a baby tiger that will hurt me later.
One day I sat down and thought about my relationship with her, I removed the orphan sentiment and asked myself, what if I am in the same shoes with her will she consider me as a worthy partner? That was when I came to my senses,omo na so I decide to dump her shaparly,in the evening that day she called I refuse to pick, she waited for me in our usual spot I refuse to show up, she asked my friends to call me I refuse to go. Them she finally came to Confront me to ask me what happened I told her I am passing through a lot and needed space she left immediately, I noticed she was depressed throughout that week, I cannot use my money to train up an upcoming entitled gold digger that will later hurt me women are something else.

So long as you're having sex with her she's going to view the relationship as transactional, in Nigeria most ladies are raised in an environment where sex is literally a commodity.
Traditionally the women are circumcised, they don't enjoy the thing and the men obviously enjoy it, they actively hunt it up and down, it's valuable!
My guess is you aren't doing enough for her (considering the fact she's an orphan) yet you're chopping her opueh
"..our intelligence drives operations and our operations support intelligence. The Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Olufemi Oluyede, guarantees that this loop will not be broken in 2026"
While addressing journalists at the Defence Headquarters(DHQ), the Director, Defence Media Operations, Maj. Gen. Michael Onoja also confirmed that the Armed Forces of Nigeria collaborated with the USA on the air strike (special operation) that hit Terrorist locations in parts of Sokoto State.
SeeWahala: You should be banned for creating a food thread in the politics section
It belongs in politics section because it was the useless politicians who made food expensive and put decent meals out of the reach of most Nigerians, all because they wanna fly private jets and marry multiple women
coputa: When Princess Diana and her lover Dodi Fayed Died in a car crash in paris in 1997, France did not happen to her and her Lover.
When Kobe Bryant and his daughter died in Helicopter crash in California in January 2020, America did not happen to him and his daughter.
When Herbert Wigwe, his Wife, his Son and his friend died in a helicopter crash in California in February 2024, America did not happen to them.
When Liverpool Football star Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silver lost their lives in a car crash in July this year in Spain, Spain did not happen to them.
But when accident happens in Nigeria, that's when some Nigerians will start denigrating Nigeria.
Ehenn! Nigeria has happened to them yen yen yen...
The accident involving Anthony Joshua in which he lost 2 of his friends in very unfortunate, I wish him quick recovery and may God rest the souls of those that lost their lives and give their families the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
The Bottomline is, accident can happen anywhere and anytime.
It has Nothing to do with Nigeria or the location.
Oyinbogyal: I’m mixed and living abroad. My mother is European and my father is Nigerian. My parents separated over 10 years ago, but they never officially divorced — they were legally separated.
The separation happened because my father did something very serious to my mother. In Europe, you cannot be removed from the family home simply because of marital problems. A married person is only forced out by the courts if something very severe happens. That is all I can say for privacy reasons, but it’s important context.
About a year after they separated, my father started begging my mother to take him back. This wasn’t occasional — it went on for years. At the same time, he was involved with a Nigerian woman from his own tribe. Behind that Nigerian woman’s back, he was still pressuring my mother to reconcile. My mum refused, but he never stopped trying.
Fast-forward to December 2025. Even this year, my father again went to my mother and asked her to get back together with him.
Then on Christmas Day, he finally admitted — not to me, not to my mother, not to all of us directly — but to my youngest sister, that he has a 9-year-old son he has been hiding from everyone. He then made my sister pass the message on to the rest of us. He could not say it to our faces himself.
What shocked me most is that this child was born about a two years after my parents separated — meaning that all the years my father was begging my mother to reconcile, he already knew he had a child elsewhere. He deliberately never told her… bear in mind this child lives in the same country as us in Europe but he is just been hidden.
When I called him to confront him, he confirmed everything. He also said something that disturbed me deeply: that he feels no real affection for the child and that the boy will never replace his “real family,” meaning us. Hearing a man speak that way about his own biological child was horrifying.
This is a fully Nigerian boy, same tribe as my father. Knowing my father’s own childhood — where he suffered badly under a cruel stepmother — I would have thought he might see himself in that child. But instead, he has completely compartmentalised him.
Meanwhile, the child’s mother still wants to marry my father. From what I can see, he continues to keep her hopeful without fully committing, while still fantasising about getting back with his legal “European wife” who doesn’t want him. He seems to keep multiple realities open at once.
What made everything click for my mother — and for me — is this: If my mother had agreed to reconcile, my father could have moved back into the house legally as her husband. Because he would not repeat physical violence, she would have had no immediate way to remove him again via legal system/court. Only after securing his place back in the home could he then reveal that he had a child all along — effectively trapping her in a marriage built on deception.
That realisation is terrifying.
I also feel deep cultural dissonance. I told my father plainly: my mother is European. This kind of secrecy is not culturally acceptable where we live. It’s not “family affairs” or something to be normalised. Trust matters differently. Consent matters differently. So he cannot assume my mother will want him after hearing the news, she is not like the Nigerian ex you had a child with - in Nigeria it is normal for a woman to beg or wait for a man to marry you, in Europe it is shameful so he needs to stop thinking my mom will accept this.
This entire situation has destroyed my respect for him. I don’t feel anger as much as disgust and shame. I’m embarrassed to even explain this to my European friends. I feel like I’ve lost faith not just in him, but in my ability to trust what I thought were shared values.
I’m now engaged to marry a loving European man, and if I’m honest, this experience has made me afraid. Afraid of repeating cycles if I marry a Nigerian man. Afraid of normalising things I don’t believe in. I don’t reject my Nigerian heritage — I love the food, the music, the culture — but when it comes to marriage, honesty, and responsibility, I feel completely disconnected from what I’ve seen modeled.
Right now, I don’t even want to be around my father. I feel like something fundamental has collapsed, and I don’t know how to rebuild respect where trust no longer exists.
I’m sharing this here because I genuinely don’t know how to process it alone, and I want perspectives — especially from people who understand Nigerian family dynamics — without judgement.
Yeah, cultural dissonance...give the man a break, he isn't the first to have a kid out of wedlock or to keep secrets
What he's done is on him, not on his heritage; yes tribal cultures are polygamous in Africa but we don't skulk around while doing it, it's notbanything to hide.
And don't think you're safe from such psychopathic behavior because you're with a European, is my main point...wait till you're fully in it with your own partner before you find out the things he's actually capable of doing to you
While I do not support physical assault, Oba Oba Ewuare has the power to banish him from our great Bini kingdom. He could have done that instead of this barbaric action of his supporters. Alternatively, Ayelala could have been used to invoke curses on the man.
2RUTHHURTS: They are correct , note that they used the small letter "j" (Lexus jeep) and not (Lexus Jeep)
jeep" (lowercase) and "Jeep" (uppercase) is capitalization, but in context, "Jeep" refers to the brand, while "jeep" often describes any similar off-road vehicle (a generic term for a 4x4), though Jeep is the company that popularized the term, offering various models like the Wrangler (rugged) vs. Grand Cherokee (luxury/family
