A South African woman recently shared her heartbreaking story of being paralyzed from the neck down after a car accident, which happened shortly after she posted about her achievements online. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

Known as @Kalogo_Mojalefa on X, she explained that in 2023 she had proudly shared her award for top performance in her department. However, on her way home after her final exams, she was involved in a severe car accident, leaving her unable to move from the neck down. Reflecting on the experience, she now regrets posting her success, linking it to the tragedy.

The accident cut short her studies and prevented her from graduating, as she can no longer type or write to finish her research. Her journey included six months in the hospital, three of which were in the ICU, and four high-risk surgeries. At one point, her family was even called in to say goodbye as doctors feared for her life.

In a twist, she recently survived a second accident, humorously noting that only her side of the car was hit. Despite her struggles, she expressed gratitude for surviving both incidents, leaning on her faith to stay resilient.

“Snininini I didn’t wake up from one of my surgeries for one and a half hours. I had everyone stressed out. And the weird thing is I received a call from someone I can’t remember offering to pray for me before the surgery. The prayer was so weird that I ended up opening my eyes 👀.

“I forgot to mention that I got involved in another one 2 months ago 😂😂 ay shame. We were 5 in the car and only my side got hit 😂😂

May Edochie, Estranged Wife of Yul Edochie, Responds to Criticism Over Divorce Accusations

May Edochie, the estranged wife of Nollywood actor Yul Edochie, has addressed criticism and accusations of promoting divorce after Yul’s marriage to actress Judy Austin. May filed for divorce in 2023, citing infidelity, a decision that has since sparked backlash, with some claiming she encourages women to leave their marriages. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

Responding to accusations of promoting divorce, May clarified, “Some men see me as someone misleading their wives.” She went on to explain her values, saying, “I love family and marriage. But there’s a misconception; marriage should be the foundation of family, as it used to be.”

Harrison Gwamnishu, a Nigerian activist, is fighting for justice in the terrible death of Priscilla Ocheme, a 24-year-old woman who was allegedly murdered by her boyfriend in Lugbe, Abuja.

Priscilla’s family contacted the activist to demand justice, alleging that a guy acquaintance known on Instagram as @Iamomoba killed her after inviting her over. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

They voiced their displeasure with the way the matter was handled by the authorities, especially the police’s decision to free the main suspect before an autopsy could be performed.

The family claims that Priscilla’s body is still in the mortuary and that their sorrow has been exacerbated by the inadequate inquiry. Concerns of a cover-up or negligence in the case are raised by their claims that important procedures, like conducting an autopsy to determine the cause of death, were not carried out before the suspect was freed.

Known for his support of justice and human rights, Harrison Gwamnishu has raised awareness of the issue on social media and called on law enforcement to be held accountable.

In order to ascertain the truth about Priscilla’s death, he has pleaded with the authorities to reopen the investigation and make sure a comprehensive autopsy is performed. Social media users are outraged by the situation, with many demanding that the police be transparent and that Priscilla receive justice.

The family of the victim is still looking for answers and is requesting a fair inquiry that will result in the conviction of those accountable for her premature death.

Nigerians have been reassured by Abubakar Maigandi, National President of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), that negotiations with Dangote Refinery regarding a direct gasoline supply from its 650,000 barrel-per-day facility are proceeding smoothly and will soon come to a finish.

Reports state that Maigandi has acknowledged that talks with Dangote Refinery are still going on and expressed confidence that a deal will be reached soon.

Speaking on Wednesday at the task force’s inauguration in Abuja, Maigandi also mentioned that IPMAN had settled its pricing dispute with the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) and was now concentrating on securing a partnership with Dangote. The task force is intended to monitor and prevent oil bunkering, pipeline vandalism, and other malpractices. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

We are happy to inform you the arrangements to remove gasoline directly from the Dangote Refinery are almost complete. We are already talking with Dangote and other partners to start direct product sourcing from the refinery now that we have received our money back from NNPCL, according to Maigandi.

He mentioned that the Department of State Services (DSS) Director-General’s participation led to the start of the current negotiations with Dangote Refinery.

The requisite import and off-take licenses for IPMAN have been directed to be issued by the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA).

Since the government completely deregulated the petroleum industry, oil marketers have pushed for direct loading from the Dangote plant.

However, concerns remain about the refinery’s capacity to meet local demand, leading to the possibility of supplementing with imported petrol.

Sources confirmed to The PUNCH that a meeting between oil marketers and Dangote officials earlier this week did not result in a final agreement. Another meeting involving IPMAN representatives is scheduled to take place in Lagos on Thursday to continue discussions.

During his remarks, Maigandi also reiterated IPMAN’s commitment to supporting the government in combating economic saboteurs who undermine the nation’s resources.

He described the newly established task force as a crucial step towards addressing oil-related economic sabotage, which exacerbates the country’s economic challenges.

“Our association plays a pivotal role in the downstream oil sector, accounting for more than 80% of the distribution chain. Therefore, we must tackle the issue of economic sabotage head-on. This task force, formed from members across all 36 states, will work to clear the negative perception that some of our members are involved in these unlawful activities. We are determined to hold all those responsible to account,” Maigandi added

Nigerians have been urged to exercise patience with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration as it attempts to address the nation’s issues by Minister of Women Affairs Mrs. Uju Kennedy Ohanenye.

Ohanenye made the appeal at a humanitarian event when she gave away supplies to help the underprivileged in Awka, the state capital of Anambra State. To lessen the struggles that the community’s most vulnerable families experience, 5,000 bags of 10 kg rice, 300 gas cylinders, and 500 bags of 50 kg fertilizer were distributed.

While acknowledging the difficult circumstances that many Nigerians are going through, Ohanenye stressed in her speech that it would take time for the government to make improvements. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

She affirmed her faith in Tinubu’s ability to govern and her dedication to improving the nation.

“I beg you to be patient with the president,” the Minister said. He is making every effort to alter the detrimental behaviors that have severely damaged the country’s economy. Give the president some time, and things will start to get better in the upcoming months.

“He needs time to tidy up the mess that the last government left behind. To be honest, things weren’t good before President Tinubu came office, and he is making a lot of effort to make Nigerians happy.

She claims that the Tinubu-led government has implemented a number of social security programs meant to improve Nigerians, particularly the underprivileged.

She urged people to turn in their BVN so that the government could make plans and help the underprivileged.

In order to determine who is eligible for federal social security palliatives, the BVN assists the government. The impoverished, who have long had access to these resources, are the target audience for the charity, not the wealthy, she continued.
