Today is Children’s Day but many Nigerian children are not celebrating. They are living in fear instead of joy.

Insecurity is getting worse. Kidnapping is now common. People cannot even travel short distances without fear. Every journey feels like a risk. Every phone call at night brings fear.

Families are not at peace. Parents are worried every time their children leave home. Students are afraid. Workers are afraid. Farmers are afraid. Nobody feels safe anymore.

Life is becoming very hard. Food is expensive. Survival is difficult. And yet the fear of insecurity sits on top of everything like a heavy weight.

Government at all levels should focus more on protecting lives and property. Not politics. Not 2027. People are suffering now.

Please and please, help free these children and their teachers.

No child deserves this. No Nigerian deserves this.

We need safety again. We need peace again.

I am just wondering. If the DSS can pick anyone they believe constitute a threat to the nation if they made a tweet, why can't they get these guys?

*If your Dog bites somebody today, can you escape liability simply because you wrote “BEWARE OF DOG” on your gate?*

A lot of people think the answer is YES.

The law says otherwise.

That warning sign alone may not save you from being sued or even facing criminal liability. In fact, sometimes that same sign can become evidence AGAINST you.

Why?

Because it may prove that you already knew the dog was d@ngerous.

Many people misunderstand the law. They think once they hang:
“⚠️ BEWARE OF DOG”
on their gate, every injury automatically becomes the victim’s problem. No.

Under the law, once you decide to keep a dog especially an aggressive or d@ngerous one you have a duty to control it.

Not advice.
Not suggestion.
Duty.

So if your dog escapes through a faulty gate or roams freely outside
Or attacks a delivery rider…
A neighbour…
A visitor…
A NEPA official…
Or even somebody you invited into your compound…
That signboard may do absolutely nothing for you.
You may still be sued.

And yes, the victim can demand compensation for:
🥢 Medical bills
🥢 Pain and suffering
🥢 Permanent injuries
🥢 Emotional trauma
🥢 Loss of income
And it can become VERY expensive.

The shocking part?

Section 207 of the Criminal Code makes it an offence to negligently allow a dangerous anim@l to cause h@rm.

Meaning this is not always “just a dog issue.”
It can quickly become a legal pr0blem.

Now before somebody says:
“What if the person was a th!ef?”
That changes things.

If someone jumps your fence at 2am trying to ste@l and gets bitten, the law may treat that situation differently because the person was trespassing unlawfully.

But for lawful visitors?

The law expects responsibility from the dog owner and this is where many people make a costly mistake. They rely on bold capital letters instead of proper control.

A warning sign is NOT a magic shield. The real protection is:
🥢 A secured gate
🥢 Proper restraint
🥢 Proper training
🥢 Responsible handling

Because when the lawsuit starts, “BUT I WROTE BEWARE OF DOG” may not be enough.

The law does not bark but financially?
It can bite harder than the dog itself.

Now imagine this
If your dog bites a child who innocently entered your compound to return a ball should the owner still be held responsible?

I saw a sign post around the fence of a house -Beware of Snakes - and I have noticed that people move away from the fence of that house when passing

I wonder if it's a real snake sef

Hello guys,

Please can someone help with how much is 25kg of palm oil in the North - North East, North West or North Central

Thank you

I read this as well as the comment of other persons. They have all advised to the best of their ability. But there's something I noticed. You said you started this escapade when you were a teenager. That's the challenge there. It's a pattern, a stronghold or you can call it an habit.

And since it's an emotional habit, you need another emotional habit to counter or take it's place. Whenever you try to stop, you create a gap in that emotion, and it needs filling. Without finding another habit to fill it's place, there's a tendency that you may likely go back.

In Nigeria, the price of rice has always followed an upward trend — especially during the Christmas season.

Every year, as demand increases during the festive period, the price of a bag of rice rises sharply. What many Nigerians see each December is not sudden; it’s part of a long-standing pattern driven by high demand, inflation, transport costs, and policy shifts.
Here’s a simple breakdown of how the price of a 50kg bag of rice has increased over the years:
2015 — ~₦10,000
2016 — ~₦13,000
2017 — ~₦16,000
2018 — ~₦18,500
2019 — ~₦19,500
2020 — ~₦26,000
2021 — ~₦30,000
2022 — ~₦35,000
2023 — ~₦50,000
2024 — ~₦85,000–₦120,000
2025 — ~₦60,000– 80,000

But a closer look at the price trend shows that in this year (2025), the price went down.

This hasn't happened in a long long time.

Is this Tinubu effect or what?

My thought: the rifle of a military man is always on safety until engaged.

How did the mad man disengage the safety...does he have knowledge in weaponry?

Or was it the soilder man that engaged the gun and was overpowered by the mad man?

Since the beginning of time, there have been world powers, though a bit softer now, world powers always interfere in other nation's affairs, and US is the world power now.

I understand the dynamics of world power in shaping international politics which is most times fuelled by the possession of nuclear arsenal and economic might. However, let's look beyond the superficial. I know that are killings going on in the north in a jaw dropping level, but y now, I mean, y will the US threaten a military invasion in Nigeria? Are there other industrial military complex that we are blind to?

Bcus if we are talking about persecution, you need to see what's going on in some tier one countries where Christians are been arrested while preaching on the street with the excuse that's it noise pollution or whatever.

I am nit in denial about the killings of Christians and non Christians in Northern Nigeria, but will evasion savage the issue?

Will that lead to a long time peace

Let's the critical in our thinking and see beyond the smokescreen

New U.S. bill seeks visa bans, asset freezes for Nigerian Miyetti Allah, Fulani Militias




https://www.google.com/amp/s/businessday.ng/news/article/new-u-s-bill-seeks-visa-bans-asset-freezes-for-nigerian-miyetti-allah-fulani-militias/%3famp

I am curious about some certain things

1. Is the House of Rep in the US now become the 'world's watch eye '? Don't they have pressing issues that affect them that they can legislate on

2. How come the House of Rep and other security parastatals in naija never take this into consideration?

3. Religious conflict is intractable. Will this plan by the US remedy the situation or do they have an ulterior motive in Nigeria?

A great servant of God has gone home. Evangelist Dr. Uma Ukpai, aged 80, has passed on to eternal rest.

For decades, he stood as a pillar of faith in Nigeria and beyond — a vessel through whom God healed, inspired, and transformed countless lives. His voice thundered with truth, his hands blessed nations, and his heart burned for souls.

Though he has finished his race, his legacy of faith, humility, and power in the Gospel will never fade.

May the Lord comfort his family, the body of Christ, and all who were touched by his ministry.
Rest well, God’s General. 🙏🏽

Ebonyi shares a border with Benue. The areas getting attacked are at that border so these herdsmen strike and escape into Benue. I don't understand why the youths in that area of Ebonyi are so calm about this

I think it's time to engage the military on this

Or the youth should rise up to the occasion

attackgat:
https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2025/02/09/the-massacre-of-villagers-in-ebonyi/?amp

This is coordinated. A typical Fulani herdsman cannot buy a bullet let alone a gun

Questions we should ask:

Y now?

Who's sponsoring them?

Y ebonyi?

Knowing the intent of the mind behind these attacks will help foil other attacks

These goes beyond religious or ethnic conflict

There's more to this

I've been married close to 4 years now with a 2 year old boy, but marriage isn't what I envisioned it to be.

Like the said, if marriage was renewable every 5 years, I wouldn't even bother. I feel like I'm losing myself to this thing called marriage, aside from the responsibilities that comes with providing, the mental and psychological stress.

I've never been this stressed in my life and I'm someone who's usually able to handle a lot of stress, I just feel like I need time alone from everything and everyone, no calls, no text. Nothing.

And my wife even makes it worse with threats of leaving the marriage over any small issue. I think the biggest mistake of my life is getting married and I know a lot go men go through this to but they can't talk.

And that's why a lot of men die young these days.

Pls, point of correction, it's not the institutions (marriage) that has the problem.

From what you have explained, I think the issue is from your expectations about marriage and the person you got married to.

What you need is not to run. What you need now is KNOWLEDGE

The 2024 U.S. election revealed some surprising, offbeat insights that shake up the usual takeaways and hint at what’s brewing in America’s political undercurrent. Here are a few:

1. The Meme is Mightier than the Speech: Forget polished TV ads. This year, memes, GIFs, and TikToks were like modern-day campaign rallies. Candidates who didn’t master the art of digital shorthand struggled. People are increasingly swayed by snappy, shareable content over traditional speeches or debates, showing how meme culture is reshaping political influence.


2. Gen Z Brought Receipts, Not Just Votes: Young voters did more than just cast ballots—they held candidates accountable. This generation, raised with the internet, fact-checked politicians in real time, often calling out inconsistencies in live comments or threads. It was less about “trusting” a candidate and more about verifying each claim like an unpaid intern for the FBI.


3. Micro-Influencers are the New Political Pundits: Forget talking heads on cable news. The 2024 election saw small-scale social media influencers sway the vote more than major news networks. People want information from voices they "know" and "trust" over any large, faceless media outlet. The power of these niche personalities to shape opinions is now undeniable.


4. Climate Change as a "Survival" Vote: Climate change wasn’t a “policy” issue; it became a visceral survival choice for many voters, as extreme weather events became real and unavoidable. Young voters especially treated climate as a deal-breaker, signaling that environmental issues are morphing into core determinants of political allegiance.


5. Less Party, More Persona: Voters are starting to care less about party loyalty and more about the vibe or authenticity of the candidate. In 2024, people voted for those who seemed "real" to them, regardless of the party lines. Personality and relatability edged out polished platforms in a noticeable way.


6. [b]Decentralized Power Surge: [/b]Many overlooked down-ballot races, like school board and city council seats, but they held massive influence. Local elections became battlegrounds for national debates, from education policy to public health measures. In a way, the election reemphasized that change often begins at the local level, and voters responded.



This election offered a lens into a country craving more authenticity, relatability, and immediacy in politics, signaling a shift that could make 2024 a model for future campaigns worldwide.
