Hello Nairalanders, this is a beautiful topic I've been willing to share with you all |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pxQ5g1ck4g?si=WkzsxsHpf0mNs9eU If I were to write my praises of Nigerian people, it may be to wide to read. Therefore, I’ll give you only one example that will summarize some of their profound humane qualities. Mind you, they have many other qualities as well. I was on assignment to a remote part of Nigeria in 2002. I met a kind but destitute old German engineer living in practical misery. I met other Germans in the town who would accept him when he visited, but will make no effort to assist him otherwise. When I enquired how he lived from day to day, I was told that every modest Nigerian in his neighborhood assisted with the little they could. That even included his medical expences. I was awe-stricken. I know of other modest Nigerians who took stranded foreigners into their homes, lodged & fed them, & even gave them a weekly allowance for months, until they could travel back to their countries. They have a heart. They have a Faith also, I have seen nowhere else in the world. May the Good Lord bless them & protect them all. Amen.Nlfpmod, Mynd44

The whole story still seems like a mystery Guys let's engage and share our thoughts |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNH3hXHVOH0?si=B87a87rDSqMWZNiI The mother of the late Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, also known as Mohbad, has once again addressed her son’s passing. Recall that the fast-rising musician, aged 27, passed away on September 12, 2023, under unclear circumstances that have remained a mystery, prompting many to seek answers. In a recent development, Mohbad’s mother further discussed her son’s death with Punch Newspapers, and the video of her interview circulated widely online. In the viral clip, the late singer’s mother was seen in tears, pouring out curses on those she holds responsible for her child’s death. She vehemently stated that Mohbad’s killers would meet a similar fate as Judas did in the Bible, ending their own lives. She said: “It was God’s will for Judas to betray Jesus. Judas killed himself, that is the same way my child’s murderers will kill themselves.”Speaking further, she recounted how her late son was her staunch defender, always standing up for her whenever his father attempted to cause trouble. “Mohbad was the one who stood by me when his father threatened my life. He would always caution his father, that was in 2021.”In the viral clip, Mohbad’s mother disclosed the role played by the late singer’s father in aiding one of the suspects involved in the case, Primeboy. She revealed how Mohbad’s dad reportedly instructed Primeboy to flee, shedding light on the father’s involvement in protecting the suspect. According to her, Mohbad’s dad told her that he advised Primeboy to run away because he is a suspect in the case. "After Mohbad’s burial when his father came back home, I asked him where Primeboy was since it was claimed that he’s the one who fought my son. Mohbad’s father said he told Primeboy to run away so that he won’t get arrested because he’s a suspect. I asked him how he could say such a thing.”Source: Gossipmillnaija @IG

This trend has now become a big debate Guys let's comment our opinions on this |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6wJC-J7R3Y?si=4UHa4_cmR-nn56-Z Actress Dayo Amusa has slammed Femi Adebayo after her replied her post about him being the one behind the whole saga, he then replied by saying that his success is her problem. Femi Adebayo has been receiving heat online for announcing Bobrisky as the best dressed female at an event in Lagos last weekend. Dayo Amusa, the college of the actor also shared a video online in which she berated him for making such an announcement. On Tuesday night, Dayo and Femi's wife, Aladuke, had a spat online after Aladuke slammed Dayo for publicly calling out her husband when she could have called him and privately expressed her disappointment. She went as far as calling Dayo a ‘’Hypocrite and evil minded''. Dayo Amusa responded by saying she stands by what she said and warned Aladuke not to push it further. Things took a different turn when Femi left a comment on Dayo's page insinuating that her problem with him is his success.Dayo Amusa in seeing the comment replied him. In a video posted on IG, the actress called Femi an ‘’Ode'' which means Fool in Yoruba for having such a thought. She said she was surprised that he would even think of such just because they are having a misunderstanding. The actress mentioned that Femi had called her earlier in the day asking that she does another video recording as damage control. She said she was skeptical if it will not affect the event they went for. She mentioned that Femi told her it was necessary as the Muslim Society had called him, condemning him for supporting LGBTQ in Nigeria and that the police had even invited him for questioning for supporting homosexuality.The actress also revealed that herself and Femi Adebayo even had a three way call with the organizer of the event and that the organizer mentioned to her that she should hold on so she can brainstorm with her team to know whether the damage-control video from Dayo will be necessary. Dayo Amusa said she was still waiting for the response when Femi's wife took to social media to call her out, heaping insults on her. She said she is not apologetic for saying Bobrisky should never have been announced as the best dressed female at an event.Source: Yabaleftonline, Instablog9ja @IG

Beautiful morning to you all It's another trend for you guys, but seriously I can't fathom my head around a guy winning best dressed female awardAnyways, let's have your thoughts on this too |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UELBwgogYo?si=jKqBd2KO32v1jnyB Notable singer, Portable reacts as the controversial crossdresser, Bobrisky is announced the Best-Dressed Female at a movie premiere. It would be recalled that the Lagos socialite and so many other celebrities stormed the ‘Beast of Two Worlds’ movie premiere which held during the weekend. During the event, many netizens were shocked when they heard who was announced the Best-Dressed. Portable took to his social media to react to the pronouncement as he wondered whether Bobrisky is fit to be called a woman. According to him, Bobrisky is just a man that has undergone butt enlargement and bosom implant, and the award should have gone to other ladies that are there. In the singer, Portable's opinion, he believes that the judges at the movie premiere where Bobrisky was declared the Best Female Dressed are a bad influence on society.Source: Instablog9ja, Wahalanetwork @IG
