Popular Nigerian crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, aka Bobrisky, stunned his fans after sharing photos of himself at the beach wearing a mermaid costume.

Bobrisky later shared the behind-the-scenes video of the mermaid photoshoot on Instagram. Reacting to the video, Tunde Ednut posted on his IG account, "Wow, Bobrisky is not joking o. Check out his amazing mermaid photoshoot."

Bobrisky shared that he faced challenges while filming at the beach, including being splashed by waves, which mandated him to seek assistance from a lifeguard and crew members.

FamilyRe: How Do I Correct My Wife? by Konquest: 8:18am On Aug 21, 2024
LVStone:
Dears,

I am married to a wonderful woman indeed, beautiful in and out and I have no regrets.

However recently I noticed strange body odour from her, the first day I came in and observed mild strange smell, without being malicious I said just blatantly said "what is smelling in this house" , while trying to check around I moved closed to the chair she was sitting and it became stronger then I told her maybe she needed to bath because I noticed she hasn't.

She cried heavily saying I now refer to her as a smelling wife. I begged her that that wasn't my intention, I observed and spoke on what could be done. That issue passed.

But I still perceives it from her, she doesn't bath early most times because she works remotely and she wakes up seeing piled work so she starts working immediately on her laptop.

Every marriage has issues I know, one of her's is that she doesn't like correction she sees it as if one is trying to make her inferior.

Please how can I correct her to bath early no matter the work.

Please I need honest counsel and not abuse, if you are not married please don't respond to this, thank you.
I find this post and thread to be interesting while silently going through the specifics.

Right off the bat, it could be that her diet or what she ingests is what caused the body odor since metabolism takes place at night when we sleep and the bye-products and wastes are generated for egestion by the body. For example, some types of spices such as bulbs such as onions or garlic can cause this situation.

Second, shaving of the public hairs in the lower privates and armpits smack down with shavings sticks or better yet the use of depilatory creams would do some immediate magic.

Third, a full body detoxification process can be done because our bodies build up impurities with time as a result of all the toxins that we ingest or inhale from vehicle fumes, chemicals, deodorants, heavy metals from underground water supplies close to industrial areas, etc. These can be done at specialist detox centers such as the one in Maryland, Lagos, owned by Professor Asiru who is renowned as a specialist pionee of the first test-tube baby in Nigeria. So, you can Google up his Wellness Center in Maryland and reach out to know the cost if you still need it. Detoxification of heavy metals from our bodies can also help folks who are looking to conceive children because heavy metals affect fertility in men and women.


Hope that helps.

Cheers.

Dear Daily Trust,

Please fact-check me: You deliberately omitted to tell your readers that the U.S. has ordered a new Air Force One from Boeing, at the cost of $3.9 billion, which is over 300 times the cost of Nigeria’s new Presidential Jet.

You also failed to inform your readers that it costs $177,843 an hour and $2,964 every minute for the US Air Force to maintain the current Air Force one that President Biden uses, which, when you calculate the yearly cost is more than the $100 million Nigeria spent on the new Presidential Jet.

Finally, you additionally failed to tell your readers that the Presidential Aircraft that crashed and killed President Ebrahim Raisi of Iran was an old one, and that it was better serviced than Nigeria’s old Presidential Jets.

Daily Trust, what do you want to achieve by this mischievous reportage filled with half-truths? You have a nasty habit of attacking every Southern President. You did the same things to Presidents Obasanjo and Jonathan, deliberately suppressing information and projecting only propaganda that would undermine their administrations.

Yet, you spent eight years being General Buhari’s apologists.

What is your agenda? Do you want President Tinubu to die like President Ebrahim Raisi of Iran? God forbid!

You are probably aware of the many shocking, "reckless" cases of localized ritual killings of humans beings in Iboland and Enugu State where I see that you live in, and these have been going on for years now and reported in the media. I'm aware of over 100 well documented cases of these ritualistic killings in the South East of Nigeria alone for decades now since I first started paying attention in the 1980s to these insidious localized killings in the mass media around major regions in Nigeria. So, you better forget about your confirmation bias and allegation of "They should not just import their reckless skullaship" that you wrongly alluded to in your post.

adamusuleiman3:
Two Nigerians were arrested on Sunday by Haitian police for possession of fake Haitian National Identification Cards.

The suspects, Madukanze Kenneth, 31, and Henry Peter, 29, were taken into custody in Jacmel, Haiti, iciHaiti reports.

Kenneth was found with an ID card bearing the name “Augustin Jerry,” while Peter’s card was under the name “Junior Jean Pierre.”


The South East Police Department in Haiti announced the arrests on social media, emphasising their commitment to continue working "tirelessly" to apprehend lawbreakers and maintain public order.

Haiti is currently battling widespread gang violence, with frequent clashes between gangs and the police.

Since the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in 2021, gangs have taken control of significant areas of the country, with nearly 80 per cent of the capital, Port-au-Prince, under gang control, according to the Associated Press.

On Monday, Haitian police used tear gas to disperse hundreds of peaceful protesters who were demanding that the government address the escalating gang violence.

I read about a disturbing high figure on Benue State campuses a couple of years back.

The ONLY saving grace is the presence of anti-retroviral drugs that have enabled the management of HIV to be a bit effective over the years.

https://lagostojozi.com/jollof-x-amapiano-diary/the-nigerian-miss-south-africa/
Let me step into your convo here to correct the misleading post you made in the BOLDED texts above that this girl's former husband is an Itsekiri dude which he is NOT.

Chidimma Vanessa Onwe "Adetshina's" Ibo husband is known as "King Sefo Amama" in the video EVIDENCE right BELOW and he lives in South Africa. He is NOT an Itsekiri man from Delta State. So, the name "Adetshina" is NOT the husband's name and there is NO name or spelling called "Adetshina" in the entire Itsekiriland (even though the Itsekiris are Yoruboid and are direct ancestral relatives of the larger Yoruba people of over 55 million people worldwide). Even that name "Adetshina" is NOT her mother's name from Mozambique like some Ibos have also been FALSELY posting online on Nairaland, X, YouTube and FB to divert attention from the truth about the dodgy history of her family.

This is EXACTLY how last year (in 2023), a lot of Ibos were online and offline for 4 weeks defending a strong case of examination FRAUD committed by Mmesoma Ejikeme, while daily hauling toxic online insults towards the entire Yoruba people because of the Yoruba man (Professor Ishaq Oloyede) who is the boss of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board in Nigeria (JAMB), while blindly defending the Anambra-born 18-year-old girl examination CHEAT called Mmesoma Ejikeme who FORGED her JAMB exam result with her Ibo father's knowledge in order to qualify for an unmerited Innoson scholarship until the JAMB exam boss (Professor Ishaq Oloyede) and the mobile phone company (Airtel) gave massive digital evidence to show that she got her real exam result on her mobile phone in form of a text message which was lesser than the FORGED result. This dishonest young girl boldly made videos defending her FAKE exam result and was invited by the Anambra State government and the Federal House of Reps in Nigeria to hear her own side of the story. Anambra State rightly exposed Mmesoma Ejikeme as well for engaging in exam forgery. That 18-year-old girl called Mmesoma Ejikeme finally CONFESSED on video in the presence of the mass media and begged for forgiveness after being BUSTED as a fraud! She has been appropriately banned for a few years from taking any exams within Nigeria as a punishment for FORGERY and cheating.

South Africans were indeed right to raise questions after noticing several RED FLAGS about this girl's (Chidimma Vanessa) family identity because she DOESN'T even speak Zulu (or even Tswana languages or any of the other 11 officially-recognized South African languages) despite the fact that she told the SA media in interviews that she lived her life with her supposed Zulu grandmother in Soweto and was allegedly born in a South African hospital 23 years ago in 2001. Zulu people are culturally very proud people and NO Zulu grandmother would allow her granddaughter or grandchild to get away WITHOUT speaking Zulu language. The Zulus are the largest of all the South African ethnic groups and they have a population of 10-12 million Zulus in SA.


Below is the video of Chidimma Vanessa Onwe "Adetshina" and her known Ibo husband (King Sefo Amama) in South Africa with more visuals and information.

I wanted to ignore his post but then I saw the lame and divisive adjectives he used (because there are a couple of trolls and fake monikers on NL that are used for assuming another ethnic identity just for triggering toxic ethnic incitements from one thread after the other) and knew he couldn't be of Ijebu-Yoruba descent, so, I had to fire him just so that other readers don't come off with the wrong impression that Yoruba folks are fighting one another over religious differences.
I have him in my radar now and will watch if that moniker will continue with that same divisive format then get to take the moniker down.

Do have a great day ahead.

Your post is incorrect.

David Adedeji Adeleke's biological mother Dr. Veronica Hailey Imade Adeleke, a PhD holder and lecturer (who passed on when she was just 39 years of age in March 2003, when David was just a 10 years old) was NOT an Ibo lady. She was an Edo lady and actually hailed from Benin in Edo State. It's all public knowledge.

However, David's father's mother (Esther Nnena Adeleke) was from Akwete in Abia State and I remember seeing her obituary in 2009 when she passed on. She met Davido's paternal grandfather (who built the first mosque in Enugu and was a practicing Muslim from Ede in Osun State, and later a Senator in the Second Republic from 1979) in Enugu before the Nigerian Civil War of 1967 while they were both in the nursing field. It was the warning given by Colonel Ojukwu to all non-indigenes of Old Eastern Region to immediately leave in June 1967 that made the Adeleke's and their then little children to leave Enugu for Ibadan and that is how the course of history changed. Matter of fact, the late Senator Isiaka Adeleke (who is Davido's father's brother) said in an interview I read before he died suddenly that the Adeleke kids all spoke the Ibo language fluently and had to start learning to speak Yoruba language on arrival in Yorubaland (Ibadan) in 1967.

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu has declared Tuesday, 20 August, 2024 as work-free day for public servants to mark this year’s Isese Day celebration.

Isese means tradition and it has millions of adherents in Yoruba land. The announcement is contained in a circular issued by the State’s Head of Service, Mr. Bode Agoro.

According to the circular, the Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu had approved that Tuesday, 20th August, 2024 be declared work-free for public servants in the State.

The circular directed public servants to resume work on Wednesday, August 21, 2024 by 8.00am.

Although the United Nations had declared August 20, as World Traditional Religion (Isese) Day, this is the first time the Lagos State Government declared a public holiday for adherents to celebrate the day.

The circular reads: “COMMEMORATION OF YEAR 2024 ISESE DAY – DECLARATION OF WORK FREE DAY

“It is hereby notified for general information that this Year’s Isese Day Celebration will hold on Tuesday, 20th August, 2024.

“In emphasising commitment to give necessary support to traditional institutions, as well as enhance the promotion of indigenous tradition by preserving cultural heritage, Mr. Governor, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu has approved that Tuesday, 20th August, 2024, be declared a Work-Free Day for Public Servants in the State.

“Consequently, work resumes on Wednesday, 21st August, 2024 at 8:00 a.m.

“Accordingly, all Accounting Officers are enjoined to note the contents of this Circular and give it the deserved Service wide publicity.”

I guessed from my earlier text, that you must have assumed that I must be an Igbo person by your reference to Anambra. Well, partner sorry to disappoint you I am a Yoruba man, from Ijebu Ode, and had you taken the time to read some of my postings you would have found this out, To be honest with you I ain't got no dog in the fight when it comes to Nigeria matters. I am just giving you the facts as an unbiased observer. I still say it the Yorubas are the holdup as to why there is no unity within the people of southern Nigeria. This is mainly due to the Muslim population within their rank. Yoruba Muslims have more in common with their Northern brethren than with their fellow Yoruba Christians. The rest of the people in the south of Nigeria will always wonder where the loyalty of Yoruba Muslims lies.
Let me step right in to correct your assumptions here.

If you are indeed from Ijebu Ode and a Yoruba, you would NOT commit the grave blunder of casting aspersions on Yorubas who are Muslims. INFACT the majority (over 50 percent) of Ijebu people who are indigenes of both Lagos State and Ogun State are Muslims (because Ijebuland extends from Lagos State right across the border into Ogun State with Ikorodu, Epe and Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Areas, and Ajah being Ijebuland located right in Lagos State).


I dare say with your assumptions about Yorubas who are practicing Muslims, that YOU are NOT a Yoruba person for ignorantly casting aspersions on Yoruba folks who are Muslims. I'm NOT a Muslim, but as an internationally well-traveled man with a vast knowledge of world history and world religions for decades now, I know FULL well that Islam has been in Yorubaland (starting with the Oyo Empire) for over 500 years now, and that is even why in Bahia, Brazil, Yoruba folks who were Muslims led the deadly revolts against the Portuguese enslavements in the early 1800s called the "Male" revolts. "Imale" from with "Male" was derived is the old Yoruba name for Muslims because the religion ORIGINALLY came to the Oyo Empire from the Mali Empire. Other Muslims from other West African ethnicities also joined the Yorubas then to revolt because they were NOT allowed to do their prayers and also to break free from the shackles of enslavement. I say all these to let you know that Islam alongside the Yoruba religion (Ifa) have been in existence for centuries back long before Xtianity even came into Yorubaland in the 1800s.

Tolerance and flexibility are important keys in life. So, this talk of Muslims of Yoruba descent holding back the so-called Southern unity of Nigeria is LAME! It's the complete restructuring and decentralization of Nigeria from the bogus unitary system being practiced over there that would liberate Nigeria and make the country globally competitive in the New Economy age we are currently in... NOT your false assumptions against Muslims of Yoruba descent, many of who I'm aware have brilliant minds and are extremely impatient and tired of the highly retrogressive state of an overcentralized system of governance in Nigeria.

It wasn't ONLY Brazil, but also Cuba which both received about 250,000 men, women, and children from Yorubaland with even members of Yoruba royal families being deported as well due to wars within the same timeframe from the late 1700s, but it accelerated after 1800 due to the Yoruba Civil Wars and other wars till about 1860 when the last infamous American slave ship, called the Clotilda (with most of the 110 Africans on board being Yoruba people) landed in Mobile, Alabama, U.S.A on July 9, 1860 from Whydah in Benin Republic. They all were mostly modern Benin Republic Yorubas (the Bante region), modern Nigeria Yorubas who were going on a trading expedition, a Fon nobleman from modern Benin Republic, some Tapas (Nupe), and about two Hausas. They eventually formed a community called Africatown after the American Civil War ended in 1865 and their descendants are still alive as of today all over the United States engaging in successful career paths. One of the greatest American musicians and entertainers, QuestLove who is in the video right BELOW is a direct descendant of the Yoruba families on the infamous Clotilda (Charles and Maggie Lewis who were born in Africa).

Yes, Santeria is the name used for the Yoruba religion in Cuba while Candomble is what it's called in Brazil with Bahia being the epicenter of Yoruba religion and ulture in Brazil.

Santeria essentially came into existence in Cuba because the Spanish tried to prevent Yorubas who made up one-third of the ethnic groups brought to Cuba and others from practicing their cultures, so the galant Oyo, Egba, Ijesa, Ekiti, etc, people who were the recorded Yorubas in Cuba in the 1800s had to hide the Orishas (Deities) behind the Catholic images to prevent being detected while worshiping. Santeria or Lucumi religion is essentially the Yoruba religion (Ifa) which today is internationally recognize as a world religion.

Thanks again for the mention.

Cheers.
