Many Nigerians could actually use some grilled chicken right now.

The result are the grilled chicken drumsticks and and other assorted delicasies in these photos:

What do you think of China's relationship with Africa?

Hmm... What is inside those body bags?

Protesters who for one reason or the other do not agree with the way President Trump has been handling the coronavirus issue, have resorted to placing body bags in front of his hotel. It is not known what is inside the body bags.

Watch.

Please, if you are trying to do lockdown relief giveaway, it is very important to enforce social distancing if you can. So that coronavirus does not go and replace hungervirus.

Tacha has defended herself against allegations that she and her NGO team didn’t enforce social distancing during yesterday’s Natacha Akide Foundation giveaway of lockdown relief materials to Lagosians.

More than ever am not happy with my mom.

I have this younger sister who was adopted by my dad from his younger sister (her father is late), she's just 10 years of age and I really don't like my mom's attitude towards that little girl. In the past when i was much younger, my mom had many quarrels with the mother of my adopted sister which I really can't give accurate count on who's right or wrong, but for the record my aunty (younger sis mom) is very troublesome no doubt.

She started living with us June last year and I noticed she's always very happy when me or my dad comes home. I was thinking it was because we were very nice to her, not knowing the kind of pressure she was going through at home.

Several occasions I have seen my mom saying too many harsh words to that little girl which I am not comfortable with but I've had to keep my calm. I feel reacting would make my mom hate her more as she might feel the little girl has turned her children against her.

The saddest part of it is that our last born who's 15 years is taking the same part with my mom in frustrating that little girl. Today Ilost my cool and reacted and truth is I'm not willing to continue keeping calm again.

My immediate younger brother (we are 3 boys and no girl) decided to start taking this my little sister out for jugging cos she's too fat. She always returns home crying cos of the pressure they put on her to jug. My mom on hearing her cry today came out and started beating her and saying hatefull words to her, including insulting her mom, calling her mom names which honestly would get any child angry if they are told same about their parent.

Out of annoyance I got up and shouted at my mom to leave her alone that it's becoming too bad for her as a mother to treath children like that. Instantly my mom kept calm and guilt was written all over her face. I'm honestly not happy about disrespecting my mom but I'm no longer keeping my calm.

There was a time when my dad had to take similar action against my mom and it didnt go well for anybody, the little girl suffered more hate from my mom and my dad wasnt really happy with my mom that period.

Returning that little girl back to her mom is never an option as the environment where her mom is very negative and would no doubt worsen her situation.

Talking to my mom calmy about it has been done by me and my immediate younger brother but problem still persists.

My worries are.
1, the little girl
2, my youngest brother who is taking after my mom
3 me disrespecting my mom.

Nairalanders your advice would be appreciated on this situation. I already have what to do in mind already but I will love to hear from those who have experienced similar situation and how best to handle it.

My advice (which you can accept of reject) is that you speak the truth with love. Also, pray to God for wisdom in handling the issues. God Bless you for caring for that scared little child.

Try if you can to put some space between yourself and the next person.

Be safe.

Please continue to observe social distance. Look at the photo below to see how social distance can save life.

Shouldn't Nigerian Air Force give Innoson contract to produce war planes for it? Innoson has manufactured spare parts for NAF planes in the past.

May the Nigerian Air Force become an even greater force for good in the coming 56 years.

As the Nigerian Air Force continues to celebrate its 56th anniversay, Air Vice Marshall O.A. Adesanya has shared a video showing a Nigerian Air Force plane in a show of military force.

The military boss wrote:"A toast to Nigerian Air Force (NAF) pilots as they sacrifice day and night, alongside other NAF personnel, towards ensuring the integrity of the Nigerian airspace."

These Chinkos are bloody racists

After China's humanitarian response helping Africans during the last ebola epidemic, China won the heart of many in Africa.

But with the recent happenings to Africans in China, PRC has to quickly rebrand its image in Africa.

TheSourcerer:
E money

E money is a Nigerian tycoon.

At topic: This is sad. When did it get to this?

Comparing Africans to animals is dangerous because it can lead people to start treating Africans like animals. And we know we are human beings.

So, Senator Dino Melaye shared a video of an art exhibition comparing blacks to animals purportedly held in China. He wrote:

To everyone mourning the death of a loved one at this moment, our thoughts are with you.

This is surely a difficult time for Mr President right now.

President Muhammadu Buhari has taken to Twitter to mourn his Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari who died of coronavirus. The President described Kyari as his dearest friend.

It is very clear that to President Buhari, Kyari was not just a member of his staff, but a very dear friend. Evidence of this closeness cam be seen in photos of statehouse activities where they could always be seen together.

President Buhari wrote:...Continue Reading

Gestures like this will do a lot to reduce the hunger generated by lockdown. Government should follow this up.

Wish more big men can do this. This will go some way in fighting #hungervirus.
