In a surprising turn of events, Nollywood actor Yul Edochie took to his Instagram page to reflect on the tumultuous year that was 2023. Despite public setbacks, including the dissolution of his marriage and the tragic loss of his 16-year-old son, Yul boldly declared it as his "best year."
Yul's estranged wife, May, however, had a starkly different perspective. She shared her sentiments on her own Instagram page, revealing the anguish she endured throughout the year. May expressed her heartbreak, lamenting 2023 as the year that "stole [her] own flesh and blood," leaving her in a state of devastation and confusion.
"Dear 2023, you were pregnant on the very first day of Jan unknown to anyone what you would deliver. You dealt with me in the most catastrophic ways… Too many adversities and misfortunes," she wrote.
No still believe say na Pete Edochie born this guy. The guy too mumu
tasalanoni: Nl folks, pls your opinions are needed. I'm currently 31, earning reasonably well and with greater prospects for the future.
The pressure to settle down is getting stronger by the day. However, I don't consider myself psychically fit for marriage in the midst of the deterioration that the marriage Institution is experiencing.
Judging by my current perspective and disposition on the subject of marriage, I don't see myself setting down even in the next 5years. I try to carefully look at the pros and cons of contracting a marriage in today's world and I always come to the conclusion that there are more cons than pros.
I'm also not a very family oriented person in the sense of creating familial bonds and deeply cherishing them hence I derive my fulfillment and pleasure in doing the things I love to do, acquiring wealth and giving help wherever I deem necessary.
The thought of opting for an adoption is beginning to occupy the greater part of my consciousness and the reasons are few and in my opinion very valid.
1. Progeny is very important in social arrangements especially in the Igbo society. I'll definitely be needing someone to carry on the family's name and legacy when I'm no more.
2. If my perspective on marriage changes for any reason and I decide to take the step towards contracting one, I may have become a little too old then to handle the perculiates of marriage and family life( parenting, school runs issues etc). But with a child already in picture and almost a teenager by then, that part of the problem would have been kicked out..
Nb:As for raising the adopted child, myself, parents, siblings and a helper will be involved while financial responsibility will be exclusively mine.
Kindly help me with insightful and mature advice that is based on direct or third party experience.
It's not bad, until it turns out bad. You'll still need a companion as you grow older. Adoption can't erase that need. Imagine the adopted fully grown son, by chance, re uniting with his biological father.., think its impossible? Well, pray it turns out best.
OKUCHI11: So this monumental edifice was built to glorify a god that cannot save his followers when they were being killed on Christmas Eve... After all the empty promises he made to them that he will protect them if they forsake their ancestral ways of worship and follow the one he instructed....
Truth be told that God really like horror movies
You're a mumu man. Talking like those dunces who believe thry come from apes
Those ppl that supported obi r d worst set of ppl in dis country, so whoever decides to be neutral with supporting obi in d last election have committed a sin to them, dey r so dumb that dey think if obi had won he will just enter aso rock and press a switch to change d country, obi would have been worse and dis ppl will would have been defending him an attacking who ever complains
What can you say is right about the people who supported the coke akola sniffing ugliness in agbada from Iragbiji? Chronic brain tumor?
Lol. Pastor, are you scared of calling a spade it's name? Call out the names assigned for the task. We all know the story of "Everybody" was asked to do a job but "Nobody" fixed it. Vague rebuke is as good as sycophancy. Being specific with preciseness is one of the proofs that the excellent Spirit of God is got your backing on that message. If God gave you a message, don't speak in parables and claim it's wisdom. God would have punished Prophet Nathan if he didn't rebuke King David to his face in plain language. These days, popular Pastors are so careful about their "ministries", that they wrap the truth in white clothes, in such a way that you see it's form but cant see it's features and color. Crazy.
🇷🇺 Russia is the all consuming 🔥 fire and the U.S knows it. Only 1 Satan-II Nuke 💣 can turn the whole of Texas to radioactive dust and ash. They have dozens of them.
The only country in the world that can fire missiles near U.S & NATO war planes. They did it last year while ✈ flying near Alaska.
They fear no one.
It's so disturbing that you're still this daft in matters like this, this new year, despite being educated by healthy minds for the whole of last year. A living proof that stupidity can sometimes be by choice.
WriterNig: Russia's Admiral Gorshkov is pictured during a test launch of its Zircon missiles in the Barents Sea.
A Russian frigate carrying 'unstoppable' Mach 9 nuclear-capable hypersonic cruise missiles has deviated from its course and is sailing towards the US coast, reports have claimed.
The Admiral Gorshkov, armed with Zircon missiles which Vladimir Putin boasts has 'no equivalent in the world', is being closely monitored by NATO navies during its maiden voyage.
Earlier this month, the frigate was escorted through British waters by the Royal Navy, and French and Spanish ships then escorted it through the Atlantic.
Monitoring sites claim it took a sudden diversion and headed west towards Bermuda.
It was scheduled to head south past South Africa to the Indian Ocean then enter the Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal.
But monitoring sites claim it took a sudden diversion and headed west towards Bermuda.
An unconfirmed Russian Telegram channel report says the warship was 'spotted on radar in neutral waters of the Atlantic Ocean - at an effective salvo launch distance from the US coast'.
The Russian defence ministry has not commented on the Navodka channel claim.
Pictured: Launch of an 'unstoppable' Zircon nuclear-capable hypersonic missile from the Admiral Gorshkov.
Radar monitoring sites suggest the Gorshkov separated from its tailing tanker ship Kama in the Bay of Biscay and headed west.
The Kama has continued its routing to the south, passing the Azores.
The frigate carrying the Mach 9 missiles had been tracked 807 miles west of the Portuguese island of Flores in the Azores, suggested ItaMilRadar.
If so, at this distance it would not at this point be in range of the US for its deadly Zircons.
The frigate is also carrying Kalibr missiles, a type used in Russia's aggression in Ukraine.
Pictured: The Russian frigate 'Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Gorshkov' armed with Zircon hypersonic weapons leaves the naval base in Severomorsk, January 4, 2023.
Putin personally took part - remotely - in the farewell ceremony when the warship departed from Arctic naval base Severomorsk on 4 January.
He made clear this mission was intended as a show of strength to the West.
He boasted that NATO could not match his 'latest-generation' hypersonic firepower.
He said: 'I am sure that such a powerful weapon will allow us to reliably protect Russia from potential external threats and help ensure our country's national interests.'
The cutting-edge frigate Gorshkov is due to sail to the Indian Ocean and Mediterranean on this mission.
Next month it will take part in exercises with the Chinese and South African navies near the ports of Durban and Richards Bay.
It is not clear why the frigate would head towards the US.
Royal Navy Type 23 frigate HMS Portland monitored the Russian warship and accompanying tanker Kama as they sailed close to the UK.
Earlier the Norwegian navy paid close attention to Putin's hypersonic mission.
Moscow has boasted that the Gorshkov is 'the most dangerous enemy of surface ships in the world's oceans' now it is armed with the new hypersonic missile.
The frigate's captain Igor Krokhmal has said previously: 'No one will see the missile launch or its flight.
'They will only see when the missile hits the target.
'A surface target, a coastal target. I don't think there will be anything to counter this in the next few years.'
Numbers often paint an incomplete picture, especially when it comes to complex human realities like lawfulness and prosperity. Yet, the recent ranking of Nigeria among the least lawful nations, with a GDP per capita that reflects these struggles, has sent ripples across the nation’s conscience. It’s a moment that calls for deeper understanding. See full article via the link below.

I see Flavor and remember Ronaldhino at Barca- how a few tweaks here and there plus money can cross a guy from the ugly men's zone to the hot men's club.
In Yorubaland, we don't wake up our elders with sidekicks.
We are not like some people from one region who lack home training because their stubborn great-grandfathers died like rats and couldn't live to train them
I hate all these tribal jabs, but hey, if we have to be sincere, there's a faint line between respect and eye service...and you guys are best at the latter.
Same way over hundreds of billion of dollars has been wasted by US over this Ukraine and Russian war!
Do the maths and check the difference
Person wey dey still struggle with Hundred Tens and Unit dey shout “do the maths!” .
If you really sabi maths you for start calculation with Russian tanks that got roasted on their bridal match to Ukraine in the first day of this senseless Putin’s war.
Badassniggga: LoL Ukraine is currently fighting with what US have. So a US vs Russia will make no difference compared to what's currently happening in Ukraine.
Russia has prepared for a long military operation to demilitarize Ukraine, they're winning on the field, socially and economically. They will wear Ukraine's allies out, Russian warfare is about resilience and patience, na cause of western support naim make Ukraine still stand, Russia dey even use precision weapons on the children, without serious air and naval assault . If Russia want war, war go dey.
KYIV WILL FALL
Disuan head still dey inside Christmas pot dey lick stew. Kyiv will fall in 2 weeks while it stands in 2 years. . Dis your mumu tie gele o.
YoungLionken: The Ukrainian president is not wise at all. This is why most political class don't give power to a young man (they usually frown at it), because if that guy were of age, he would be more interested in socio-economic relationships rather than war, or worse still, a looter of the national treasury as peculiar with African leaders..
That's why, even in Africa, the coup leaders are usually the young men. The old men are just there to loot. Outside Africa, the likes of Kim Jong-Un are more interested in war than the like Xi Jiping..
But one thing's for sure, Ukraine (even though other western countries are fighting using Ukraine as image and passage) can never win against Russia...
Europe Experienced the two world wars, your forefathers didn't.
No one stopped Hitler when he pushed his boundaries until so many damages were wrought by him cos they were scared of creating a face off. Putin is on the same course and you think you know better than Ukrainians and the EU. Funny. Blacks fight for their stomachs while the whites view them as short sighted cowards. Whites fight and die for values while the blacks see them as reckless and stupid. Most developed countries got transformed by revolutions, cos they had what they stood for and die for. Here we can't die for anything, cos we stand for apparently nothing or anything. That's why you have a frail cocaine crap for a president.
Ememmmi: I have an uncle that passed on early last year. My daddy told me he's my "uncle" but a distant relation because I don't know him in the village. We only met in lagos here so I think we are related but not close relation. Before he died, I use to send money to him especially during covid. At times he will ask and atimes I will send without him asking me. So when he passed on early last year, I was still sending the little amount I can afford to his wife. Its been 4 months I gave birth and she did not even come to see me. Her house to my house is about 500 transport fare to and fro. She knows there's no how she will come to my house and I won't give her cash even if at all she don't have transport fare.
She called me 2 days ago asking of Christmas money. I told her I will send it but inside me I am not happy honestly. People came from very far distance to visit me when I gave birth but this woman didn't even show concern. Anytime she call me will always be to ask of money. She said all her husband relative has abandoned her. It is not like I don't have money to give her but her attitude is bad. She has only one daughter which she claimed she's in university. I don't know how true is that Do you think I should overlook her character and give her the money
Because God’s mercy gave you a baby and kept you from being a begging widow, you now feel like she should be the one running to you. It is well. Listen, whether that widow calls you or not, deem it a privilege that you’re the one rendering help to her, not the other way round. Sometimes the less privileged, out of shame, prefer to keep to themselves and avoid frequent visit to places they get crumbs of “pity bread”. If you show that woman signs of coming down to her level..,If she gets to understand that you even visit her frequently than she does visit you, you may likely see a different person. It’s no crime if you go down with your money to their level. Come down from your high horse and do whatever you do for the sake of God, not self gratification and praises.
Mention one person in your family who is qualified to be Wole Soyinka's housemaid
He fought Yakubu Gowon He fought Murtala Muhammed He fought General Olusegun Obasanjo He fought Sheu Shagari He fought General Muhammadu Buhari He fought Ibrahim Babangida He fought Sani Abacha He fought Abdulsalami Abubakar He fought Chief Olusegun Obasanjo He fought Musa Yar'Adua He fought Goatluck Jonaddaft He fought Mumumodu Buhari

abdeefggh: This is a symbol of religion tolerance found in the south west of Nigeria that is very rare throughout the world.
Clowns.
We keep telling them Jehovah and Allah are not the same . One is a deity and a creature. The other is the creator of deities that has no beginning and no end.
Stamina777: Hello nairalanders, please I need your advice on this. I work in a bank as a cleaner and I go on errands for bankers in the bank. Am 24 year old and I only have my school start with me. I have an ambition to further my education though.
So their is this lady banker I like so much. I do go on errands for her. She is in her youthful age too but might be a little older than I do. I love her but I don't know how to tell her. I fear she might cast me if I tell her my intentions or I might lose my self respect.
Moreover, I always feel lonely because I rarely socialize. I go on errands because of the tips I make from it. Nobody gives me money for not doing anything. I feel less cared for but I care more about my loved ones even though I only give to them. I feel lonely all the time
Please what should I do
First, go to third mainland bridge, observe how welcoming it is for men who get disappointed with life for not sticking to their shoe sizes. Secondly, In case you get rejected, please leave sniper alone. It’s for rats and household pests.
EngrEgghead: And the person videoing them is a bigger fool as well as the people watching them. So you mean there is no one sensible enough to separate the couple. Na WA o.
That’s the 21st century foolishness we’re talking about here. Everyone wants likes and traffic. They all want to trend..
It is not a hidden fact that even with The EU and The US military and monetary support for Ukraine, they're still struggling to make substantial progress in their counteroffensive against Russian forces. Only a fool would think Russia wouldn't have captured Kyiv in a week if they wanted to commit the unreasonable amount of war crimes that Israel has committed in Gaza. But Russia deliberately elongate the period of the war to exhaust and weaken all the supports Ukraine has been getting from its allies. Now The Russian federation is getting its desired results as a result of the inability of the EU and the US to come to a mutual and unanimous agreement over the further funding of the war for Ukraine starting next year.
But Russia deliberately elongate the period of the war to exhaust and weaken all the supports
Guy, this your stupidity looks like a talent. I swear. You’re unfortunately gifted. Break the GWR on the most stupid creature in the world. You’ll have my full votes. Make your dream come true with what you have .
