Uncle, I hope your grandchildren are all doing great. Please invite us to their marriages.

A massive fuel tanker crash on the Lagos-Sagamu expressway threatened to turn into a major catastrophe. But amid the towering black smoke and raging flames, a team of heroes in yellow and grey sprang into action.

The Babcock University Fire Service raced to the scene, battling the inferno with incredible bravery. At the same time, our security team jumped into action, holding back crowds and keeping curious onlookers safe from the danger zone.

Because of their swift, selfless work, a potential tragedy was contained. No lives were lost. No nearby homes or businesses were destroyed. The highway was kept safe.

This is what it means to be a good neighbour. This is what it means to be Babcock. We don’t just educate minds; we protect lives, strengthen our community, and build a safer, healthier future for everyone.

The Nigerian ambassador to South Africa should be recalled and Chidimma should now be sent as Nigerias Ambassador to South Africa. Immediately!!!
That's how you play this kind of game.

They will now have to roll out the red carpet to welcome her at their xenophobic presidential Palace. They may add a zulu acrobatic display to it..
She will be dripped with all sorts of diplomatic immunity and her staffs will still help her achieve all of Nigerias diplomatic goals in that country..

If they refuse her as an ambassador, we will have to declare their representative here as a personna non grata"!!!

Oh Lord!
Why am I not the President of Nigeria!?

Men should respect women that choose to remain faithful to only them because everytime a lady steps out, she gets hit by up to like 10 different men and she will keep saying No to them because of One man she is trying to be faithful to. Is it easy to be chased everytime? We all know men hardly gets chased.

Lately, I have found myself asking a question that would have sounded strange a generation ago: Have we lost the ability to feel ashamed when we do something wrong? I am not talking about making honest mistakes because every human being does that. I am talking about the growing tendency to defend, celebrate, or even monetize bad behavior instead of acknowledging it.

More and more, it seems that being caught in a lie, exposed for wrongdoing, or criticized for poor conduct no longer leads to reflection or accountability. Instead, the response is often to attack the person who spoke up, accuse them of being jealous or judgmental, or rally supporters to drown out the criticism. It is almost as if admitting fault has become more embarrassing than the wrongdoing itself.

To be fair, human beings have never been morally perfect. Every generation has had liars, fraudsters, corrupt leaders, and people who abused the trust of others. History is full of examples proving that bad behavior is not unique to our time. What has changed is the environment in which we live. Social media has created a world where attention is a valuable currency, and in many cases, controversy earns more attention than character.

A person who behaves outrageously can gain millions of views overnight, attract followers, secure endorsements, and even build a career from the very conduct that would once have damaged their reputation. When society begins rewarding attention more than integrity, it should not surprise us that some people deliberately choose notoriety over respectability.

One trend that worries me is how quickly correction is now interpreted as hatred. Point out that someone has spread false information and you are accused of being a hater. Challenge dishonest behavior and you are told to "mind your business." Raise concerns about declining standards and someone immediately says, "Stop judging people." Yet correction and condemnation are not the same thing.

Every healthy family, workplace, profession, and society depends on accountability. Doctors are corrected when they make clinical errors. Pilots are investigated after accidents. Judges have their decisions reviewed by higher courts. Scientists constantly challenge each other's findings because truth matters more than protecting egos. If professionals understand the importance of constructive criticism, why should ordinary life be any different?

Perhaps the greatest danger is not that people make mistakes. Mistakes are part of being human. The real danger begins when mistakes are rebranded as virtues, when dishonesty becomes cleverness, when selfishness becomes self expression, and when refusing accountability is celebrated as confidence.

A society slowly loses its moral compass not because wrongdoing suddenly appears, but because fewer people are willing to call wrongdoing by its proper name. Once every action becomes "my truth" or "my choice," we remove the very foundation that allows us to distinguish right from wrong.

Healthy shame has become an unpopular idea, yet it serves an important purpose. Shame, in its proper form, is not about humiliation or destroying someone's dignity. It is the internal signal that tells us we have violated our own values or harmed another person. It pushes us toward apology, growth, and restoration.

A person who feels no remorse after lying, cheating, exploiting others, or causing unnecessary harm is not demonstrating strength. They are revealing a dangerous absence of self reflection. Without the willingness to admit, "I was wrong," genuine personal growth becomes almost impossible.

Perhaps the problem is not that people today are worse than previous generations. Perhaps human nature has remained largely the same while technology has amplified both our virtues and our flaws.

Social media did not invent dishonesty, arrogance, or attention seeking. It simply gave them a global audience and, in some cases, a financial reward. The responsibility therefore falls on each of us to resist the temptation to value popularity above principle and validation above integrity.

A society cannot thrive if it becomes uncomfortable with accountability. Progress has never depended on pretending we are perfect. It has always depended on our willingness to recognize our shortcomings, accept correction, and become better than we were yesterday. If we lose that ability, we may gain more followers, more views, and more applause, but we will quietly lose something far more valuable: our character.

What do you think? Have we become less accountable as a society, or has social media simply exposed flaws that have always existed?

Obi himself needs to go and back home. He is not competent at all. Ask him simple question, you see him beating about the bush. I cut grass. Who asked him that? Obi doesn't have brain to rule the country
