LordFriar: Whenever I think about my life.. the very fact that I'm expected to marry, get a job, take care of children, pay yearly rent, take care of school fees, take care of nuclear family feeding, take care of parents, buy material things like cars to meet societal standards, save for my personal business since I can get fired anytime, and as well for retirement.. still all the while trying to make sure I don't get sacked at my job, omo I just feel like kpaing myself.. feels so impossible.
Tbh, I don't think I'm ever going to marry ever. I earn 120k currently, and even as a 26 year old single guy, that's absolutely insufficient not to now talk of bringing a woman on.. and I know just how impossible getting another job has been
Men that plan on getting married.. tbh I don't know whether to envy or fear you

But on the other hand, why will them, bring out court matter in the public na?

The Ogun State Police Command has arrested one Akinola Damilare for allegedly impersonating military personnel.
In a Thursday statement, command spokesman, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi said the suspect, popularly known as General Don, was arrested at about 2:00 am on November 3 at Kajola, Elega, Abeokuta.
His arrest followed credible intelligence from a community leader and discreet surveillance by operatives of the command’s Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Unit.
“Items recovered from him include a military face cap, three-quarter military trousers and four photographs depicting him in military uniform,” the statement reads in part.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Bode Ojajuni, reaffirmed the command’s resolve to tackle impersonation and other criminal activities, urging residents to promptly report suspicious conduct.
“Investigation is ongoing to establish the circumstances surrounding the alleged impersonation and determine whether others are connected to the case,” the command stated.
The Federal High Court in Lagos has granted actress Doris Ogala bail in the sum of N30m with two sureties in like sum over alleged cyberstalking and other offences involving Pastor Chris Okafor.
Justice Akintayo Aluko, who granted the bail on Friday, 2026, however, ordered Ogala to surrender her international passport to the court registrar and restrained her from making electronic publications capable of intimidating or harassing prosecution witnesses.
In his ruling, the judge said he was mindful of the need to balance the defendant’s constitutional right to liberty with the responsibility of protecting witnesses and preserving the integrity of the trial.
He said, “I have taken all of the above into account in a bid to attach conditions that will guarantee or ensure the defendant’s attendance in court for her trial, and the need to protect the witnesses of the prosecution from harassment, threat or intimidation.”
Justice Aluko expressed concern over the defendant’s alleged conduct during proceedings on October 28, 2026, which he said disrupted the court’s sitting and forced an emergency adjournment of 10 cases.
He said, “By her misconduct and conduct in the open court, when she disrupted proceedings and caused a series of adjournments without any justification on the 28th of October, 2026, the defendant has exposed herself as a person capable of fomenting trouble when she is outside the courtroom.”
The judge, however, acknowledged that the defendant had apologised to the court for her conduct.
He said, “That notwithstanding, the defendant is still presumed innocent by the provision of the Constitution.”
The judge also considered the prosecution’s concerns that Ogala could use her social media accounts and public online platforms to intimidate or harass witnesses.
He said, “Any unwarranted electronic publication capable of exposing the prosecuting witnesses to public harassment, ridicule, threat or intimidation, which is equally capable of exposing the proceedings of the court to ridicule and distortion, is accordingly restrained and disallowed.”
Justice Aluko further ordered Ogala to enter into a recognisance on oath to be of good behaviour and refrain from misconduct in the courtroom or its premises throughout the trial.
The defendant had sought bail in an application dated October 26 and filed on October 27, 2026, pursuant to Section 35(5) of the Constitution and Sections 158 and 162 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act.
In opposing the application, the prosecution alleged that Ogala deliberately failed to attend previous proceedings on April 23 and June 9, 2026, claiming ill health.
It presented pictorial evidence which it said showed the defendant participating in political activities, public gatherings, campaigns and protests during the period she claimed to be ill.
The prosecution also argued that the allegations against her involved the use of social media to publish and disseminate electronic materials forming part of its evidence, raising concerns about possible interference with witnesses.
The defence maintained that the offences were bailable and that Ogala would not commit another offence, interfere with witnesses or evade trial if granted bail.
The defence attributed her previous absence from court to ill health and urged the judge to grant her bail to enable her to prepare for trial and pursue her governorship ambition.
In resolving the application, Justice Aluko referred to Section 162 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, which provides for bail except where circumstances exist to justify refusal, including the likelihood of committing another offence, evading trial or interfering with investigations.
The judge also cited the Supreme Court’s decision in Suleiman’s case, which outlined the principles guiding the exercise of judicial discretion in bail applications.
He said, “The main function of bail is to ensure the presence of the accused at trial. That is the touchstone of all the criteria.”
Justice Aluko added that the court must exercise its discretion judicially and judiciously, based on the facts and circumstances before it.
He eventually held that the application should be granted in the interest of justice.
Under the conditions, Ogala is to provide two sureties in like sum.
One of them must either own a property in Lagos State, with verifiable evidence of registration at the Land Registry duly certified by the Registrar of Deeds, or be a prominent national officer of her political party or a prominent person of repute.
The sureties must be persons of reliable means, reside within the court’s jurisdiction and be verified by the court registrar.
They are also required to submit tax clearance certificates covering the last three years and attach two recent passport photographs each.
The judge further ordered Ogala to surrender her international passport to the court registrar.
He directed that upon fulfilment of the bail conditions, the defendant should be released from custody forthwith.
Earlier, when the case was called, Doris Ogala was absent, but her lawyer informed the court that she was currently receiving treatment at a hospital.
Ogala’s counsel, Marshal Abubakar, told the court, “The defendant is currently receiving treatment at General Hospital in Ajegunle following a gynaecological surgery, which has resulted in bleeding.”
Social media critic Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has explained how his friendship with Nigerian Afrobeats star Davido collapsed following disagreements over the demand for justice for late singer Mohbad.
VDM made this known in a video shared on Thursday, recounting how the issue that initially brought them together eventually became the source of their fallout.
He said he became actively involved in the campaign for justice following Mohbad’s death in September 2023, which sparked widespread public outrage and questions about the circumstances surrounding the singer’s demise.
According to VDM, Davido followed him on social media in early 2024, a development he said initially left him starstruck because of the singer’s celebrity status.
The two subsequently developed a friendship, with VDM occasionally showing support for Davido by promoting his songs and new releases.
However, he said things took a different turn following his arrest in 2024 and the discovery of a WhatsApp group chat in 2025.
VDM alleged that the group included individuals associated with Davido and other entertainment industry figures, with conversations suggesting that some members had planned his arrest because of his persistent calls for answers over Mohbad’s death.
The critic said he made several attempts to contact Davido to find out why people within his circle were allegedly targeting him.
He claimed that Davido failed to respond to his calls, while a blog linked to the singer’s associates later suggested that he wanted to record a conversation with the musician to blackmail him.
Describing the experience as a betrayal, VDM said he was disappointed by the development because he had genuinely considered Davido a friend.
The revelation comes amid the ongoing exchange between VDM and Nigerian rapper Zlatan, which also drew Davido into the controversy.
The singer recently came under scrutiny after a video emerged showing him dancing to Zlatan’s song, INFERNO, at his wedding welcome party in Morocco. The track contains lyrics directed at VDM, further fuelling the tension between the social media critic and the rapper.

A lawyer representing a defendant in a criminal case before the Federal High Court in Warri, Delta State, has threatened to petition the Chief Justice of Nigeria over the alleged delay, withholding and improper handling of letters sent to the court’s Chief Judge concerning the case.
The lawyer, Andrew Elekeokwuri, said he had notified the Chief Registrar of the Federal High Court in Abuja of his intention to escalate the matter if the court’s administrative department failed to explain what happened to the letters.
In a letter dated November 3, 2026, Elekeokwuri said the complaint concerned correspondence relating to Charge No. FHC/WR/92C/2022, between the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Ighorhiohwunu Aghogho.
The letters were written to seek the Chief Judge’s intervention in the case, including a request for the matter to be transferred from the Warri Judicial Division to another division of the Federal High Court.
Elekeokwuri said the first request, dated February 9, 2026, was acknowledged by the Chief Judge’s Chambers on February 17.
He said further letters were submitted on March 2, September 28, October 8 and October 15 to seek updates on the request and an explanation for the words, “AWAITING CJ RESPONSE”, repeatedly appearing on the case’s cause list.
The lawyer said the matter became more concerning on October 29, when representatives of the Take It Back Movement from Delta State and the Federal Capital Territory, alongside a representative connected with his legal team, visited the Federal High Court in Abuja to make enquiries.
According to him, the delegation met the Deputy Chief Registrar in charge of the Chief Judge’s special assistant, Joshua Ibrahim Aji, who reportedly said the letters had been sent to the Chief Judge at his residence and would be attended to by October 30.
However, Elekeokwuri said his counsel was informed the following day that the letters had allegedly been returned without being processed and that further enquiries should be made on November 4.
He said the conflicting information raised questions about what happened to the letters, who handled them and whether they were eventually presented to the Chief Judge.
The lawyer said he was not accusing Aji of personally withholding or interfering with the correspondence but wanted the court administration to establish his role, if any, in handling the documents.
“We do not presently allege as an established fact that Mr. Aji personally withheld, diverted or interfered with any correspondence,” the letter stated.
“The issue is whether the official records disclose his involvement or responsibility at any stage of the administrative process.”
Elekeokwuri asked the Chief Registrar to investigate when the letters were received, the officers who handled them, whether they were properly recorded and whether they eventually reached the Chief Judge.
He also requested an explanation for the inscription “AWAITING CJ RESPONSE” on the case’s cause list and whether it referred to the letters seeking the transfer of the case.
The lawyer further asked the court to preserve all documents that could help establish what happened to the correspondence, including receipt records, registers, internal notes, dispatch records, electronic transmission records and documents showing whether the letters were returned or resubmitted.
“We are providing the Federal High Court administration an opportunity to establish the facts from its official records and to clarify any discrepancy that may exist,” he said.
He warned that if the court failed to provide a satisfactory explanation, or its records revealed issues requiring further investigation, he would submit a formal petition to the Chief Justice of Nigeria, who is also the Chairman of the Federal Judicial Service Commission.
Elekeokwuri said the commission had the authority to investigate complaints involving deputy chief registrars of superior federal courts and take appropriate disciplinary action where necessary.
He said his main concern was to establish what happened to the letters after they were submitted and whether they were properly handled and brought to the attention of the Chief Judge.
The lawyer requested that the Chief Registrar formally acknowledge receipt of his notification and provide a written explanation of when the letters were received, who handled them, where they were sent and how they were eventually treated.
Why this version works better: It explains why the letters were written, what the lawyer wanted, what allegedly happened during the follow-up and why he is threatening to petition the CJN. It also preserves the important qualification that no misconduct has been established against the deputy chief registrar.
The National Judicial Council has suspended three judicial officers for one year without pay over various acts of misconduct, including unlawful detention of litigants, abuse of judicial powers and disregard for due process.
The Council also cautioned eight other judicial officers and approved warning letters to three judges following investigations into petitions concerning their handling of cases.
According to Channels TV on Wednesday, the decisions were taken at the NJC’s 112th meeting, held on November 3, 2026, under the chairmanship of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun.
The suspended judicial officers are “Justice Hannatu Mohammed Kabir of the Nasarawa State High Court, Grand Kadi Mohammed Sani Salihu of the Jigawa State Sharia Court of Appeal and Justice Sobere Biambo of the Rivers State High Court.”
Justice Kabir was suspended for “ordering the arrest and detention of a litigant for 58 days over alleged disobedience of a court order without initiating proper contempt proceedings or serving the mandatory Forms 48 and 49.”
The Council also “barred her from nomination for elevation for three years,” holding that her action violated the litigant’s right to fair hearing.
Grand Kadi Salihu was suspended over his “involvement in reopening a judgment delivered by the FCT Upper Area Court.”
The investigation found that he “exceeded his authority by constituting a committee to review the judgment and subsequently assigning the matter to another judge, who received fresh evidence and delivered a new judgment.”
The process was held to amount to an appeal against a valid judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
Justice Biambo was sanctioned for “ordering the arrest of litigants and imposing fines of N300,000 each in a civil dispute without proper contempt proceedings or service of the prescribed forms.”
Salihu and Biambo were “also barred from elevation for three years.”
The Council cautioned Justice Kayode Agunloye of the FCT High Court over his handling of “post-judgment garnishee proceedings in a suit involving First Bank of Nigeria Plc.”
It found that he granted a fresh ex parte application for a Garnishee Order Nisi after an earlier similar application had been withdrawn and struck out, while other pending applications, including an application for stay of execution, were awaiting hearing.
In another disciplinary decision, the NJC approved warnings and cautions for other judicial officers, “including Justice Bello Kawu, who granted interim bail to former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, despite an existing remand order issued by another judge.”
Justices Danjuma Oyigbenu and Isa Ebini Kana were also issued “warning letters for delivering judgment in an appeal outside the constitutionally prescribed 90-day period.”
Others “cautioned or placed on the Council’s Watch List include Justice Mohammed Zubairu of the FCT High Court, for making orders after being informed that an appeal had been entered at the Court of Appeal; Justice C. A. Ogbuagor of the Enugu State High Court, for continuing proceedings despite a pending appeal and application for stay; and Justice Chibuike Azuama of the Imo State High Court, for granting an ex parte garnishee order freezing the accounts of Puma Energy, a company that was not a party to the substantive suit.”
The NJC also considered 35 petitions from its Preliminary Complaints Assessment Committees, “dismissing 24 for lack of merit, recommending four for further investigation and placing one in abeyance because it was sub judice.”
It further directed that investigations should continue into a petition against Justice G. N. Ugbala of the Ebonyi State High Court despite the petitioner’s notice of withdrawal.
