Even at that speed, It took us approximately 10minutes to go pass its length.

One of the unexpected highlights of my field visit to Tanzania was catching a glimpse of Mount Kilimanjaro from the air.

It was thrilling, intimidating , and absolutely majestic. You could literally feel its presence as it ruled the skyline.

The funny part? The moment Kilimanjaro appeared, almost everybody on the plane forgot their steeze. 🤦🏽😁

People were stretching across seats, rushing to the windows, phones out, trying to get that perfect shot. For a few minutes, we all became photographers.

And honestly, I don’t blame anyone.

Some views are simply too special to ignore.

This is one moment I’ll remember for a very long time. Asante sana! Tanzania! 🇹🇿

I currently drive the 2008 auto version. I bought mine for 5M a year ago. Today it’s worth over 8M. Car is durable and has great fuel efficiency. Driven it from Maiduguri to Cross river on 2 occasions without stress. Speeds normal

And they were all in ARISE TV last night. When. Saw them, I knew someone wrote the script - Reno.

I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but let me just drop this truth: No man has ever successfully taught his wife how to drive without one serious fight. 😂

It starts all sweet — “Babe, let’s go for driving lessons. I’ll teach you, no need to pay those guys.” 10 minutes later, you’re screaming "Press the brake, brake! Which one is gear 2 again now?!" And she’s already giving you side-eye, ready to park the car and trek home.

Before you know it, you people have turned the whole driving lesson into a family meeting. Neighbours go dey peep from window.

If you’re a married man and you tried this, come and confess. Did you survive it? Did your car survive it? 😭

Nigeria’s UN Humanitarian Assistance to Terminate in 2026
The Journal Nigeria May 29, 2025

Iliyasu Abdullahi Bah

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) will end its activities in Nigeria in 2026 due to challenges in funding, head of the organisation, Trond Jensen, said.

Jensen however said the organisation will still operate remotely and make periodic deployments to support humanitarian action, local ownership, and long-term resilience despite the funding challenges.

“We are not leaving entirely, but our footprint will shrink,” the official said.

OCHA, which made this known when he paid a courtesy visit to Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni in Damaturu, said major donors have either completely stopped or reduced their funding support by half.

The countries, he said, include the United States which had announced total stoppage of critical funding, the UK with a 40% reduction, as well as Germany and the Netherlands with 50% cuts.


Jensen expressed concern that cuts in critical funding of humanitarian activities came when there was a surge in the need for humanitarian intervention.

He particularly said that presently, the ability of the organisation to treat malnutrition in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states has been reduced by half, just as the number of severely malnourished children has doubled from 500,000 to one million this year.

The UN official said there should be stronger partnerships between local governments and NGOs to fill the gap. He praised Yobe’s Durable Solutions Group for allocating 25% of its budget to displaced populations, and emphasised the need for more efficient transparent systems to sustain operations.

In his response, Governor Buni said Yobe remains committed to rebuilding conflict-affected communities, ensuring returns of IDPs with access to farmlands, livelihoods, and critical infrastructure.

Governor Buni reaffirmed the administration’s readiness to innovate amid the funding gaps.

Nothing much happening here. It's mainly a civil servant state.

Despite the lingering insecurity in the northeast, it didn’t stop us from celebrating our young stars - their joy is unstoppable. The even featured fun activities such as like sack race, blind race and egg race.

But beyond the speeches, promises, and photo ops, it’s time to move from words to action.

Let’s work together to secure a future worthy of these children’s dreams.

With an army of SANs (and trust me, they don’t come cheap) defending him every week, you’ve got to wonder - whose deep pockets are keeping this legal circus running?.....curious me.

The right word is "Assess" (to evaluate) Not "Access" (to gain entrance)

Let’s talk about a practice that has become a norm in Nigeria’s National Assembly - the sacred act of bowing to the Mace. Yes, that fancy staff that our lawmakers treat with utmost reverence, like it holds the key to paradise (or at least to budget approvals).

But here’s the million-naira question: Is it biblical?

Exodus 20:4-5 clearly states: "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image... thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them." Now, before you say, "But it’s just a tradition," let’s pause and think.

The Mace is a crafted object, an official symbol of authority, yes - but at what point does it become an idol? If people must bow before it to show respect, are we skating on thin spiritual ice?

Some argue that bowing to the Mace is just a formal gesture, no different from standing for a national anthem or saluting a flag. Others insist that it crosses into dangerous territory- because why bow to a carved object when God strictly warns against it?

So, dear Nairalanders, let’s dissect this: Is bowing to the Mace just tradition, or does it flirt with idolatry? Your thoughts please.

Why do Nigerian pastors seem to focus on healing unknown persons with disabilities while popular figures like Cobhams Asuquo and Yinka Ayefele, who also have special needs, remain untouched by these "miracles"?

We hear of countless testimonies of the blind seeing and the lame walking, yet these well-known personalities remain as they are.

It raises a question: is God still in the business of creative miracles, or is something else at play?

I recently my car of similar model for the same reason of high fuel consumption.

Car was gulping too much fuel for no reason. Had to sell it after three years of use.

Good thing is, I made 500k off the amount I bought for it in 2021.

I just got an exclusive from a reliable source (an insider - a cameraman- at channels TV, Abuja) that SEUN OKINBALOYE, anchor of Politics today, wasn't sacked as widely reported.

He has been on a one-month study leave in the US. He resumes next week.

Make we rest abeg.

A Video of the renowned social activist Aisha Yusefu has surfaced online where she refused to stand during National Anthem.

I went to the popular spare parts market in the city of Maiduguri to get some parts for my car, and right in front of me were men dressed in plain clothes welding firearms.

With the dwindling insecurity in the country, where unknown gunmen are on the loose, security personnel shouldn't be seen carrying arms on plain clothes.

What do you think?

On his way to Ran community in Kala Balge Local Government Area of Borno state, the Borno State Commissioner for Education received a surprise welcome from a colony of wild elephants that emerged in their troop on a plain land, possibly migrating from a part of the continent to another.

Since yesterday's CBN deadline of deactivating non-compliant customers, I haven't been able to perform any transaction, not even checking my account balance on my access bank account.

All i receive is this same error message, "sorry, the service provider is currently unavailable, please try again later".

Has my access bank account been deactivated?

True. Most suffer from low self esteem. I told a girl I'm bleeping that she should stop wearing her granny panties when we meet, she became very defensive, but it had an effect next time we met

What was the effect? 🤣

As a son of the plateau soil, a prominent statesman cum former General of the NA, more than a conspiracy of silence, we from the plateau expect more from "our slumbering " former General.

Where are you, Gowon? Speak up!

Considering the economic situation in the country, a roasted maize seller was spotted dividing a maize into half in order to sell to those who can not afford to buy a full maize, which sells for between 150 and 200 naira depending on the size.

Things are really tough for many.

His question comes days after a purported phone conversation between Labour Party's presidential candidate, Peter Obi and clergyman Bishop David Oyedepo, was leaked online.

Elementary gospel vs deep revelations (rhema), which has helped us?

Me: I'm tired of deep revelations. Deep revelations have not helped us in anyway. Infact they are our problems. Just gimme elementary gospel found in Exodus 20. "Love your nebor as yourself." periodt!

If you were to live in the first century - in Jesus' days, which Bible character would you have being? given the circumstance.

Me: Thomas

Reason: Omo! Jesus did things (miracles) that defied logic, science, and human understanding.

So, it would have been only natural to question them - before believing lol 🤔

I've never seen this before. "Obi obi obi obi"... was the chorus on all lips today in Mubi.
