Finally, another performing governor in the Southeast. It is hoped he will continue to perform. [quote author=Tabithatim post=137734966]

Governor Peter Mbah is fast-tracking the completion of the 300-bed Enugu International Hospital, a world-class, multi-specialty centre designed to capture a significant share of the estimated $1 billion Nigerians spend on medical treatment abroad each year. Leading Enugu and Nigerian healthcare professionals in the diaspora are already in active talks with the state government on partnerships and top-notch service delivery.

Politics › A Nigerian becomes US Navy Commodore pix by potent5(op):
Nigerian-American naval officer, Captain Kelechi Ndukwe, has been appointed Commodore of Destroyer Squadron 60 and Task Force 65 of the United States Navy, headquartered in Rota, Spain.


DAILY POST reports that the development further cements his trailblazing rise in America’s naval command structure.

The U.S. Mission in Nigeria announced the appointment on Friday through a post on X, describing Ndukwe’s career as “pure inspiration” and a testament to “American excellence.”


Ndukwe had earlier made history as the first Nigerian-American to command a U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer, the USS Halsey (DDG-97).
“Meet Commodore Kelechi Ndukwe, a Nigerian-American making history in the U.S. Navy,” the mission wrote. “From commanding the USS Halsey to now serving as Commodore of Destroyer Squadron 60 and Task Force 65 in Spain, his journey is a true example of #AmericanExcellence.”


Ndukwe was promoted to the rank of Navy Captain in August 2024. Over his two-decade career, he has held key operational and leadership roles, including fire control officer aboard the USS Normandy between 2004 and 2006 and auxiliaries officer on the USS Thorn from 2003 to 2004.

A 2002 graduate of the University of Notre Dame, he has also served in the Office of the Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, the highest military advisory position in the United States.

In 2021, Ndukwe took command of the USS Halsey after serving as its executive officer. He also previously commanded the USS Devastator (MCM 6), a minesweeper based in Bahrain, from 2013 to 2015.


His new appointment is considered the peak of his distinguished 20-year career, which began in 2003, shortly after he completed a master’s degree in national security and strategy studies from the U.S. Naval War College.

If you spend half of the time you spend fasting to conceptualize a business, you would be feeding multitudes.
jesusjnr2020:
What I Noticed Happens To My Prayers When I'm Fasting

I noticed it's really difficult to pray when i'm fasting, especially when I've gone beyond the first or second day of dry fasting.

However I also noticed is that if I'm able to persevere regardless amidst the difficulty and pain and still keep praying, i end up praying much longer than I normally pray.

This was something i first noticed during several midnight prayers.

Usually when I'm not fasting I will hardly pray more than 3 or 4 hours without falling asleep. Highest 5 uninterrupted hours.

it's profoundly hard to stay awake throughout without falling asleep in the middle of the midnight prayers.

However when I was fasting I found myself on several occasions being able to pray from midnight til day break, that's about 12am or before that til past 6am or 7am when the day has become bright.

I found it strange at the time because it wasn't normal for me, but somehow I would just find myself after I start praying from midnight, continue praying and praying until the day begins to brighten outside, even when I didn't plan or expect to pray for that long.

I just seemed to find a strength from somewhere which makes it possible for me to do that which was usually impossible for me to do when I wasn't fasting.

I already knew that fasting helps to achieve results that prayer alone can't, however i didn't know that fasting could also help improve one's prayer life until I learnt this from my own personal experience.

This happened once again during a recent 3 day dry fast I just broke yesterday, hence thought I should share so it could be a blessing to some here, including those looking to give their prayer life a boost.

You can try adding a little fasting to your prayers and see how it goes.

God bless.

TENANTS! KNOW YOUR RIGHTS O!

Even if you never pay rent since 1960 — your landlord NO GET RIGHT to:
Shout for your head
Threaten you
Lock your door or throw your load outside
Cut your light or water

All that one na SELF-HELP — and guess what?
E dey ILLEGAL!
If he tries it, he fit land for wahala — even prison join.

The law talk say if you owe rent, landlord no go use muscle.
He must follow due process:
Give you proper Quit Notice
Serve all other legal papers
Go court to get permission to collect him house

Until court talk otherwise, that house still be your legal home!
Nobody fit just carry you commot.

And abeg, make we stop this confusion
QUIT NOTICE no be QUICK NOTICE o!
E no mean say you go quickly pack out or sleep for outside.
Na just the beginning of the legal process, no be eviction.

So my people, no gree for intimidation!
If your landlord wan do anyhow, remember say the law dey your back.
You fit even sue am and collect compensation for stress and damages.

A joke. Nigerians have become too smart to fall for this kind of gimmick. Slash the price of subscription or dey your dey.
NaijaphiliaBlog:
Effective from Saturday 01 November 2025, Multichoice has reduced the price of the DStv decoder from ₦10,000 to a ₦7,900 while the GOtv decoder has been reduced from ₦9,900 to ₦6,500.

This price drop follows an earlier reduction in June 2025 under the company’s “We’ve Got You” campaign.

At that time, MultiChoice adjusted the price of the DStv decoder from ₦20,000 to ₦10,000, and the GOtv decoder from ₦18,600 to ₦9,900.

According to MultiChoice Executive Head of Marketing Tope Oshunkeye, the latest price reduction is aimed at ensuring that entertainment remains affordable for Nigerians as the December festive season nears.

Romance › Re: Your Landlord Has No Right To Increase Your Rent By Force!!! by potent5(m): 2:50am On Nov 07, 2025
Why not build your own house and give it out for free?
Naijalegal:
Your landlord has no right to just wake up and increase your rent without your agreement. Tenancy is a contract, not a dictatorship. Every term — including rent — must be agreed on by both landlord and tenant. When your landlord sends you a “notice of rent increase,” it’s not a command. It’s simply an offer, and you have every right to negotiate or even reject it.

Nigeria no be place wey person no fit price market — and rent is no different. You can send your landlord a counter-offer, and he has a duty to negotiate in good faith. He cannot cut your light, water, or threaten eviction just because you asked for negotiation. That’s harassment and illegal under the law. Lagos Tenancy Law and other tenancy laws protect you from such “bully landlords.”

If your landlord insists on forcing you out or refuses to negotiate, you can go to court and ask the judge to declare the rent increase unreasonable. The court can even order a lower, fair amount. A 50% or 100% rent hike? The court will likely cancel it. Don’t be afraid to stand your ground — the law is on your side.

2027: Gov Otti Jittery as Mascot Uzor Kalu Throws His Hat into Governorship Ring, Lobbies APC Leadership

As momentum for the 2027 governorship election gathers in Abia State, political alignments are shifting rapidly, with intense lobbying, consultations, and strategic moves already underway. The latest spark came from Mascot Uzor Kalu, who recently declared his intention to contest the governorship under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), a move that has unsettled the current political landscape.

Party sources told our correspondent that Governor Alex Otti is “panicking and making calls everywhere” following Mascot’s declaration. The governor, according to insiders, has been lobbying to join the APC ahead of the elections.


“He’s making calls everywhere on how to join APC,” a source said. “But the leadership of the party in Abia and Abuja has told him clearly that even if he joins, he won’t get an automatic ticket. There’s going to be primaries.”



The entry of Mascot Uzor Kalu has already stirred deep political conversations across the state. Many see his ambition as a direct challenge to Otti’s re-election bid and a rallying point for aggrieved political blocs in Abia.


Meanwhile, a chieftain of the APC in Isiala Ngwa and Governor Otti’s kinsman, Chijioke Nwabueze, dismissed any notion that the party needs the governor to win in 2027.


“The APC doesn’t need Otti,” Nwabueze said. “If the party is united, we have the resources–both human and material to unseat him. Abia people are ready for change, and Mascot’s entrance has only made that clearer.”


Analysts say Otti’s political standing faces growing challenges. His relationship with the Ukwa la Ngwa bloc is reportedly fragile, while his ties with stakeholders from old Bende, his major support base who played key roles in his initial victory, have become strained.


At the same time, the APC is parading political heavyweights such as Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu, Minister of State for Labour Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, Emeka Atuma, Henry Ikoh among others, all veterans with deep grassroots structures and national influence.


The developments have created palpable tension in Umuahia and beyond, as Governor Otti’s team reportedly explores all options to consolidate power before the primaries. Political watchers say the coming months will reveal whether the governor can rebuild alliances or face an opposition coalition too strong to ignore.


For Governor Otti, the race for 2027 has only just begun; and this time, it may not be an easy dance.
