A Nigerian woman has made a video, accusing Nigerian Minister of Works, David Nweze Umahi of owing her the sum of 250 million Naira for contracts for the past 12 years, and has refused to pay her because she rejected his request for a relationship.

The video was made before she was arrested by the police on the order of Mr Umahi. She has been taken to Abuja, and has insisted that David Umahi was intimidating her.

Political activist, Omoleye Sowore has also accused David Umahi of using government power to intimidate citizens over personal issues. Sowore accosted Umahi at the police headquarters yesterday while Umahi had arranged with police for the woman to be presented, where he ended up threatening her. There were altercations between Mr Sowore and security personnel of the minister.

A woman has been arrested and transferred to Abuja over a petition reportedly linked to Minister David Umahi. The development has prompted debate about police procedure in Nigeria, as defamation is generally treated as a civil matter. Legal experts are questioning whether the arrest complies with due-process standards.

The allegation that David Umahi ordered a woman’s arrest over a long-standing debt dispute has intensified scrutiny of arrest practices in Nigeria. If courts exist to adjudicate debt claims, why resort to arrest? Does influence determine how quickly the police act?… pic.twitter.com/wKAbKDozT6

Really? Okay oooo. But what do we do with this?

A Nigerian lady residing in the UK has called out Obi Cubana over his endorsement of Tinubu's administration. The lady questioned why Obi Cubana's wife is in the UK with her kids, trying to get residency documents if the government her husband is promoting was doing well in Nigeria.

Obi Cubana is busy supp0rting Tinubu and APC, meanwhile his wife is on a student visa here in the UK with her children.

She is not even here for studies but to get papers. If Nigeria is w0rking under Tinubu like Obi Cubana claims, why is his wife in another man’s country that is working, hustling for papers and his children schooling in the UK?

What happened to the schools in Nigeria under APC…A UK-based Nigerian woman has publicly called out businessman Obi Cubana over his supp0rt for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the ruling APC g0vernment. Hmmm 🤔 am speechless

It is genuine...


It's traditional practice. It's done in certain parts of cross rivers state as I mentioned earlier. Some bodies stay there for up to 3 or more years.


I watched a documentary series on it a long time ago. I can't remember why they keep the bodies that long again. But it happens. In the documentary I recall sometimes rats eat the bodies were they are kept so some relatives have to be assigned at night to keep watch over the bodies.


It happens... it's some traditional practiced way of keeping bodies preserved until ready for burial!

That is very bad. It is a health hazard to members of the public. What if those rats enter people's kitchens after eating the dead bodies?

brain54:
This is not a mortuary...

This are those traditional embalment centers. It's common in Cross rivers state!

From the look of things, you can see the bodies have been there for long. There is something fishy going on. Why have the family members not come to bury their dead loved ones if it was genuine?

immortalcrown:
It might even be that those dead people were murdered. Otherwise, let the mortuary owner explain the identities of the corpses and how they got to the mortuary.

This one no be Tinubu's fault. Many are worse than Tinubu but they lack the opportunity to project their evil capacities.

Same thing on my mind. Why have the relatives not come to claim the bodies if they were not murdered?

One question that comes to my mind is why the bodies have not been buried. What do these people do with embalmed bodies?

The Nigeria Police over the week, discovered an illegal mortuary at Akamkpa Local Government Area of Cross-Rivers State. Dead and embalmed bodies were seen resting on the walls of the mortuary. It was a gory sight to behold. Why would people establish mortuaries without the consent of the authorities? There are many more scattered all over the 36 states of Nigeria that have not been discovered. This pose a health hazards for citizens, as the state governments, local authorities, and health agencies are not aware of the existence of such places.

The operator of the mortuary has been arrested. During interrogation, he admitted that even the owner of the land where the mortuary has been established was not aware of such.

On the left is Evgeny Stepanovich Kobytev, a World War II soldier on the day he enlisted into the military. On the right shows the same person after fighting many fierce battles for 4 years (1941 - 1945), including experiencing a fatal leg injury, and captivity in a notorious German concentration camp where over 90,000 soldiers and civilians died.

Kobytev's dream was to be an artist. In 1941 he graduated with honors from the art institute and was ready for a new artistic life. However, all his dreams were cut short on June 22, 1941, when Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union.

Who forced them in the first place? Perhaps she's pregnant.

Yes, she is. These are teenagers who do not even know their left from right yet.

Mirasteel:
I think he got her pregnant hence why they rushed the marriage.

It will take a special process and mentality to redeem that young lad. This is the type of situation that destroys the life of a young man. Marrying when you have not even discovered yourself in life.

Who force this one to go marry? The look on his face shows that he is still a kid that needs to grow. Now responsibilities go tie wrapper for your matter.

Early marriage by men when they are not yet financially stable can destroy their life. From the look of the background, you can tell that both families are struggling. Take a look at the lad. He looks emaciated. You can tell that he is struggling, yet you dor go carry wife responsibilities for head. I pray the lad scales through. E nor easy.

kernniejay:
You think there were no sorcery, witchcraft and spiritual powers in other continents apart from Africa? Then your ignorance must be superb. FYI, I'm not here to promote voodoo, or advocate use of 'juju' power, my initial conversation with the original person I was replying (before you meddled into what is not your business) was because he said he had tried to haunt bush baby to no avail and I told him what he can do.
To you, kolanut is not relevant in 2026? Wow. If China alone has just half of the amount of herbs and roots that you people have in Nigeria, the advancement they could have recorded in science and medicine would have nearly made people immortal.
In Africa you have good weather, favourable climate, good soil, natural resources in abundance, yet you can't make good use of these things for your development but you abandon them and keep running to America or Europe for survival. That is why organisations in Europe will come to your country to import your cocoa, cotton, gold, rubber, crude oil and still bring them back to sell for you in form of chocolates, coffee, fabrics, jewelleries, tyres, petroleum at exorbitant prices.
I reiterate to you again that you people in Africa won't grow or make much progress because you see yourselves as inferior people, you people don't know what you have and you are contented with the little you know. That is why other continents like Asia have left you far far behind.

You still ended up saying nothing other than a long epistle of glorified ignorance.

kernniejay:
The principles that worked in 1918 are still constant in 2099. Examples are gravity, karma, sowing and reaping, diligence and success etc. Africa will not move forward as long as it continues to have people like you who are quick to discard a hypothesis and lazzy to do a research to find out if it's a fact or not. A European would get up and start working to prove the assertion made earlier but an African would roll in his bed and call it crap.

Listen to yourself. In 2026, you are still here telling us about bush babies and kolanuts, while youths in other climes are using science and technology to change the world, and you still shamelessly mentioned growth and Africa? You should not have mentioned growth and Africa at all, considering your narratives. What impact have people made in the world with kolanuts and bush baby stories?

Same Africans who claim they possess spiritual powers to disappear or stop bullets in the air were subdued by the whites. Where were the gods and spiritual powers? Maybe they were on vacation in Maldives.

kernniejay:
If you are really serious about hunting bush baby, go about 100km far deep into a thick forest in the middle of the night like around 1am to 2am. Hold 3 kola nuts, 3 bitter kolas and 3 walnuts, when you see an iroko tree, go there, then call out to the bush baby to come out and have the nuts. Come back and tell us what you see.

Forget this crap you are saying. This is 2026. This is not 1918. That is why Africa has refused to move forward.

Jumbojax:
Actually heaven is above, and hell is under the earth, evidence dey

I am not surprised. That is why Africa has remained backward.

@djlyrics

It is a hoax. Stop deceiving people with your 1934 mentality. This is 2026 for God's sake!

Thundafireseun:
Taking mango and coke is not a myth….

I dare you to try it

It is not only a myth. It is also a hoax. Some of you argue not because you have facts or evidences, but just for the sake of disapproving an idea because you hold a contrary idea.

1. Guava seeds cause appendicitis: The idea that guava seeds cause appendicitis is false. Appendicitis is primarily caused by infection or fecal obstruction of the appendix, and not directly from swallowing seeds. However, it is good to chew seeds properly, especially for fruits like guava, or pomegranates. Undigested seeds of some fruits may cause a blockage in the appendix, but cases are very rare. I had friends in primary school who never ate guava for the fear of appendicitis.

2. Large snakes keep diamonds: This is another myth we believed when growing up. Snakes, whether large or small do not keep diamonds. There is no relationship between flesh, bone and blood and diamonds which are minerals. Funny enough, some adults still believe this crap till date. If you believe that diamonds are found in snakes, you should also believe that crude oil is found in monkeys.

3. Heaven is in the skies and hell is underground: I do not want this post to be a religious debate so I will not delve into the existence of heaven and hell, but the mindset that heaven is located in the skies, while hell lies under our feet is as foolish as foolishness. These are abstract things that are not concrete. They are only in your mind subconsciously.

4. Witches and wizards fart on transformers to cause power outage: Whenever transformers exploded, they blamed old men and women in the area of suspected witchcraft. This was common in Old Bendel State (now Edo and Delta States). The truth is that majority of those transformers were old and fit to be discarded, but due to poor governance, corruption and lack of accountability, they were still put to use, and they were serving beyond their capacity. Area believe say nah winch mess for transformer, so transformer blow!

5. Taking Coke and mango is harmful: This is another myth and a stupid idea we believed as kids. There is no scientific fact to that, and nobody has been found to be harmed after taking Coke and mango. There is no scientific evidence that supports the claim. It is just a myth.

Dtruthspeaker:
Do you remember running to be the first to rent the latest film that had just come out? Or the one were you want to be the first 10 to watch the latest film such that on the day it is to be returned by the person who rented it, you would go to the video club about 3times that day before you get to see the person dropping it?

In my case i even knew the people who beat me to rent it in my area so I changed and use my cousin's video club card in mega plaza just so I could be first or join the first.
Shout out to Iziren, Femi and Dapo una be the gees for movies

Yes, true.

Gotocourt:
Even resting of Blue filmm that year

Some video club owners keep those ones separately for the bad guys.

Zonefree:
This one na modern rental shop. VCD plate.


When we dey rent video cassette, the shop owner will give you manual-rewinder, you go use rewind the cassette you rented.

Yes. The rental shops I am talking about had all those movies in video cassette player.

princeade86:
What a good memory to share.

Thank you. It can really take you down memory lane when things were less complicated.

From the early 90s to around 2003, one common way of watching movies was through movie rental shops where you could register with a small amount of money, and obtain access to movies (both local and foreign).

Na this movie rental shop, popularly called 'video club' we take rent movies like Issakaba, Suicide Mission, Died Wretched: Buried in 2.5m Casket, Sakobi, Samadora, Karishika, Glamour Girls, Battle of Muzanga, Igbudu, Uncle Wayward, Rituals, Mr Ibu, Common Man, Aki Na Ukwa, Osuofia In London, End of the Wicked, and a host of others.

We also rented foreign movies like Delta Force (Chuck Norris), Nam Angels, Jungle Rat, Cyborg (Van Damme), Return From The River Kwai, The Never Ending Story, Escape From Sobibor, The Rock (Nicholas Cage and Sean Connery), Titanic, The Wizard of Oz, Jack the Giant Killer, Sinbad and the Seven Seas, The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad, Jason and the Argonauts, etc.

Kai, I feel so nostalgic to see those movies again.

budaatum:
No, I've never drunk from a bottle with a snake in it and never will.

I was once offered tequila in Mexico City though, and was told the gold in it would make me goldy, and I failed to convince the foøl offering it that the gold colouring was either caramel coloring, sugar-based syrup, or oak extract added to unaged silver tequila.

What annoyed was being asked to pay above the odds for it, because it pretty much sounded like a babalawo asking for payment in advance for juju money instead of afterwards with the juju money.

I doubt I could be convinced a drink with a snake in it would immunize one to snake bites, but if anyone wants to prove me wrong ..........

I do not see any connection between a bottle of gin containing snake and antivenom.

Sonnobax15:
it's popular here,even tho I've not been privileged to set my eyes upon it.

But then again bro,do you really believe in the potency of this drink?

It depends on what the people who take it believe in. If they feel it can protect them against snake bite, then that is their belief, but for me, I cannot take it because I believe in lab tested antivenom.

Sonnobax15:
. If I were you,I would have equally rejected it too . You RAN well,bro..

Bro, that was 2008 in Warri. I found it disgusting.

Sonnobax15:

As a typical proud urhobo man that I am,I haven't tasted it,tho I've heard of it but hasn't seen it with my eyes.

I have seen it several times. Some years back, I was offered a glass, but I refused because I looked into the bottle and saw scale particles of the snake floating in the drink, and I became irritated.

Farmsolution:
This is not true oga. These are snakes soaked into different preservatives and chemical majorly for practicals purposes in schools and research centers . Which one is snake wine. Go to first generation schools and you will see them in their biology laboratories.

You must be a kid or an ignorant adult. If you don't understand things, you learn. Do you think we created this thread to discuss WAEC Biology practical here? I am very sure you rushed to comment without reading the post thoroughly. Did you see the write ups from Google attached to my post by the moderator or not? Sometimes, some of you who claim you are so enlightened end up making a fool of yourself because you prefer talking to learning. Na only you sabi snakes wey dey inside bottle for inside science lab. We didn't attend school. You are the only one that attended school.

Have you ever seen people drinking local gin from a bottle containing snake before? It is common among the riverine people of Southern Nigeria, especially, the Ijaws and Urhobos. They call it snake wine.

People take it for different reasons. Some take it for protection against snake bite, while others take it with the belief that it prevents snakes from coming close to them or harming them.

HOW IT IS DONE: It is usually done with a live snake forced into a bottle. Dead snakes are not used. Then local gin is poured into the bottle. The strong nature of the gin kills the snake and the bottle is shaken vigorously with the snake inside. It is then served by pouring into glass cups for everyone to enjoy.

It is very obvious that Enugu property agents are agents of darkness and handy tools to keep people down in the mud. A city where most of the jobs have salaries that do not go beyond 60k to 70k per month, yet these property agents of darkness want to finish people with agent fee.

How can you tell someone to pay 250k agent fee for a one bedroom flat that costs 600k per year? This same agent might be living in a zinc house in one slum area where the rent is 3k every month.

Now take a look at this attached advert and see what Enugu agents are doing to people. Peter Mbah, governor of Enugu State, and the Enugu State House of Assembly need to look into this matter asap.
