Samantha125: For me it was during this one campus protest in varsity, normally during our usual protests, I'd make sure to either position myself at the back, or in the middle of the crowd just so I can easily run for cover the moment the police start throwing their tear gas or firing rubber bullets at us.
That day I don't know what got to me that I positioned myself at the front, I don't know if I was high in the Economic Freedom Fighters Students Command's revolutionary songs or what, because those comrades could sing and their protests carried weight... ... One of the things that had me invested in campus politics was their revolutionary music...
The police positioned themselves and as they started firing rubber bullets and tear gas at us, we dispersed for cover and while I was still in the process of taking cover, I was shot twice, one on my thigh and the other on my butt, I felt the second one that hit my butt knocking out all my dreams and hopes of becoming a comrade, and as if that wasn't enough, a third one hit my back and it was a final nail in the coffin... Those things hurt, I spent the entire week sitting with only one butt cheek... That was my biggest mistake.
Funny as hell😸 You attended University of Witwatersrand?
I hope the lady will not hurt herself afterwards sha. Be careful of what you do today especially ladies, your past shall be judged harshly. More reasons why I tell people to stay away from the institution called “modern marriage”.
Putindbutt: Have you asked yourself what the US is doing in DR Congo stealing their mineral resources everyday while destabilizing the country with war?. I hate the hypocrisy of the US.
China is investing $20billion in Obidigben gas park. China is investing $60 billion in 4,000km high speed train covering the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria. China is providing soft loans to Nigerian Government and they are actively building infrastructures in Nigeria.
What is the USA useful for?. Selling their weapons to Nigeria to make more money in the name of fighting insecurity.
So if someone reports to you that your son is stealing so that you can tame him, you will rather confront the person on why is he reporting your son to you simply because the reporter is a thief bah? Continue, just as usual from a typical APC supporter.
Ibadanfarmroad: mgeke can easily be spotted, mgeke feeling funky😂😂 The damage colonialism did to you people will take enternity to heal, someone singing in his mother tongue is local, imangine British or Americans calling their artists local just because they sing in English which is their local language.
Oga go sit down one place jare😅That your line is stale. First thing first I am Yoruba, I no be akotileta. I listen to a numbers of Yoruba music wella. Should I talk about Fuji, Apala, in fact, Yoruba is one of my best subjects in school including literature in English. I like Osupa Saheed, Adewale Ayuba, Olamide, Dipo Sodipo, Beautiful Nubia, Lagbaja, Fela, Alhaji Agba, (I used to like Kwam 1 music before before but I can’t stand it due to his true evil nature and his romance with APC), Teee Dollar, or you want me to mention more the usual ones you know ooo😄 When I say I don’t fancy Asake music and he sounds like a local boy to me, I know what I’m saying. To me, he doesn’t look refined, and same way like this guy too Seyi Vibez. Two of them, I never fancy their music😂 I listened to Seyi Vibez songs one day on Spotify, omo I was just like what did I just listen to?😂 This is not hate because I’ve never met with them. Like I said earlier, what rocks your boat may not rock mine.
kedeojo: I'mIt shows you don't understand the reason while those ladies did that on TikTok. go back and read gently with no rush. na wah for nowadays graduates.
I get you but I don’t want to know reason why those ladies did that on TikTok. I’m talking about these things in general. And you know that’s the truth. Two truths can co-exist. And if you think I’m wrong but you want to be right, so be it!
Ibadanfarmroad: first I am not Yoruba, I have an agricultural agency in Ibadan hence the moniker, calling Ibadan local people is makes me laugh because I know that just one GRA in Ibadan is bigger than your state capital and Ibadan have over five GRAs. I am proudly edo.
Wetin asake Dey sing ? Hahahahaha. In just his first year in the industry he sold out 02 arena and other arenas multiple times, within two years in the industry he got a Grammy nomination, within four years in the industry he has more uk and US certification than Davido and other ogs. He is the first Nigerian artist to have two albums in apples Naija top ten spending over 52 weeks plus and still counting, the artist with the most number one on naija turntable chats, top three most streamed art on audio Mack etc, you think say na hype, he has the best stage presence and performance in Nigeria currently.
Despite all these you listed, I don’t listen to noise and a local boy like Asake. I still maintain my position, na local people dey listen to Asake and hype am. What rocks your boat may not rock mine sha.
Emeskhalifa: Not true. No dey worship white people abeg, they are mortals like you and I and do most of these things we do here just in a different way.
No one is worshipping white people here. Do you want to compare the white community with the blacks? Or you want to compare institutional poverty among the blacks with the white? Or distraction among the black folks to the white. A lot of black folks will rather go jobless unlike the white folks who understand the dignity of labour. Look around you and give me feedback if what I’m saying is false. Travel out of the country and see for yourself too.
Ibadanfarmroad: This op don ment, psquare, 2face and dbanj were the big three of their era. Biz wiz, Davido and olamide replaced them, till burna boy came and replaced olamide now asake has come to replace davido.
Asake or what did I just see? Why are you people hyping Asake like this? Wetin e Dey sing first? I won’t be surprised that it’s your type, Ibadan people that used to hype this guy sha. Asake ko, Asaka ni. Local people😂
BlakKluKluxKlan: That Yoruba Oba is a man of integrity unlike Nnamdi Azikiwe, Meador Orizu and Prof Ben Nwabueze who would rather lick Fulani add for filthy lucre.
Unlike your Tinubu and some of our onijẹkujẹ Yoruba elders back then like S. L. Akintola and others who is presently romancing the Fulani arse too bah?
ZUBY77: So says the Glamour girl who slept with dogs for money. The way these empty heads with wigs hide under holy spirit to say rubbish is dangerous. If Nigerians don't sue holy spirit soon, they won't learn anything.
Nigerian girls are the most lying people I have ever known. A woman can live with you under the pretense of no sxx before marriage when she is not a virgin, only for the man to find out after spending millions for marriage.
No madam glamour girls. What we see is what we buy.
Are you for real with this allegation that she slept with a dog? Can you explain more please?
blamingthedevil: You can’t see me in an opposition with a Babachir Lawal, El-Rufai or a Malami. These are guys that were killing this country as recently as 2 years ago”
Sowore
“You can’t see me in an opposition with a Babachir Lawal, El-Rufai or a Malami. These are guys that were killing this country as recently as 2 years ago”
Eriokanmi: He has never taken sides with them. He also doesn't like Shettima, the VP who co-created boko haram with alimodu sheriff, the menace that has now spread across the north, now flowing down south unabated. Ndume's political ambition had been threatened several times. There was a time they wanted to recall him but they all failed. When you say the truth in Nigeria, you're threatened on every side cos truth is the bitter thing they don't want to hear.
APC and their supporters have always been quiet over this side of shettima but always loud on obi's matter as if he stole their bread. Even supporting evil. Someone whose house once harboured a boko haram terrorist in Abuja is now the Nigeria's VP but the apc supporters never saw that as an issue. They're now everywhere in kwara, touching the south-west gradually. Bigotry is a disease which can only be cured by the sufferers
God bless you for this. But I need to ask a question. I don’t know if you’ve forgotten, do you remember that Ali Ndume was accused of sponsoring this Boko Haram insurgents back then. What’s your take on that?
omoharry: pls do not use your own personal experience to generalized all adopted children. I was adopted , I loved my adopted mum mother than my biological mum who only turned she turn up when I was 23yrs old . Both of them are late now but I am more emotionally attached to my adopted mum more. When my adopted mum became ill, I took some time from work to care for her till her death. I was the daughter she never had. Both of them are late now but it was my adopted mum that I deeply mourned and not my biological mum. Pls don't generalize. I still misses her till this day.
I salute you for your resilience. Hope you are doing pretty well.
My spiritual father adopted 6 different children from different parents at different times all teenagers. Today he is enjoying all of them. He is in his mid 60s himself and wives are just traveling abroad the way they like courtesy of all his adopted kid.
No matter how visa or anything is expensive they buy or send to them. You will never believe that those children are not theirs. Currently he has adopted another 22 years Edo girl who takes care of them like no other since the others have grown up and they are currently working her on nursing course.
I can count numerous people I know personally like this due to the of my previous job.
There's no hard and fast rule in life.
Exactly, everything all boils down to parenting and nurturing, nothing more
Leonardo4: How does his adoption connects with state of Nigeria today.? Moreover Nigeria has been destroyed b4 he took over so what are you saying
You dey mind him. Even if I don’t support Tinubu, the guy should ask himself if Tinubu is not good to his family or his foster parents. What concern adoption with the state of affairs in Nigeria? Weird mentality on Nairaland😂
Adoption usually comes from parents that are looking for kid or which when d wife is barren so which one be person wey get pikin already con still dey adopt kid again
You need to open your mind and throwaway that your village-mindset. To you, it’s bizarre or a crime to have biological children and still adopt right? SMH for you.
Tendd: Treat your adopted kid like your own child from the beginning and they would never feel alienated.Children don't generally insult their parents except on rare occasion like mental illness, drug abuse or different health or environmental challenges.
One of the reasonable responses on this thread. Those complaining about this menace are people who don’t treat those kids like they were true born. You Dey mind selfish and hypocritical people.
kingthreat: An aunty I know adopted a girl as she had only male children. When the girl grew to a teenager, people told her my aunt is not her mother especially with the fact that the aunt was already in her 50s when the adoption began. Then she began being troublesome and tormented her adopted parents. Was being entitled and difficult. Sharp sharp, one of her sons took charge of the matter, he damned the sentimentality got her things packed out and took her to a Christian boarding school and forgot her there. No one called her, no one even cared about her while she was there. The school threatened to send the girl away, the guy insisted that his family doesn't care. After a year of abandonment, the 14 year old girl came back begging and apologizing for the damage she caused before they accepted her back. Now she understands family is a privilege.
I want to ask you a question ans I want you to answer me with all sincerity: Whose fault is all these? The girl? The people that inform the girl when she was teenager and your aunt did not do anything about it to the extent of arresting the people? And again why would the girl true parentage be announced to people and even her siblings too?
shadrach77: Nothing wrong with adoption. The boy is just an ingrate
Don’t call the boy an ingrate. He has been adopted. He has a right to behave that way since he’s already become the parent’s child (even though I don’t subscribe to his behaviour even if he’s a biological child too) but stop saying he’s an ingrate. This statement of your shows how an adopted child will end up in your care too.
JackDaAlienz: There was one rich man in my church He was head of Rotary club and I remember vividly that he started a programme that encourage parents to adopt kids.
This was Obasanjo era. Economy was good
My neighbor a nurse adopted 2 kids boys One popular woman in church adopt 1 boy Madam Rosita adopted a boy and girl
Now I have been going to that church since I was a kid so I remember when they adopted those kids and did baptism for them.
Now fast forward 2025 My neighbor 2 boys turn out to be cultist They smoke ibo like nothing Tattoo everywhere. A huge contrast to her 3 real children she had before adopting 2 boys
The popular woman the boy she adopted dey insult and disgrace am like mad Dem go dey quarrel like women for public Only God knows wetin dey happen for private
Madam Rosita the girl she adopted showed her shege pro max at her teenage years Carry belle very early. The boy run go Libya haven't heard from him since 2021.
So this are the 3 people that lived around my area and same church for 20 years I remember vididly how they adopted those kids in church and how they all turned out now today. . I think the problem is that these kids soon realize that they are biological kids. And I think that realization alone at an early stage in life can throw them off.
Somebody said something about the child having hereditary madness
But I disagree because even the woman you marry that will bear your child. Do you know if her family has genetic madness??
Your wife family might have one mad mentally unstable person and it transfer to her child via genetics and they start displaying agbero tendencies
That is why our FORE FATHERS gave birth to UpTo 7 kids
Because they know genetics us a gamble of genes from your father side and mother side
So you spread your genes in 7 kids So that st least 5 will get the good genes And the 2 can get the werey genes from both family.
On conclusion Adoption and Reproduction All na RISK
Your pikin fit get your stubborn uncle genetics If you spread your genes to 2 kids If 1 go astray you know say na ur uncle gene be that and you are stuck with it
Na why our ancestors born UpTo 7 kids They understand genetic lottery pass us
Life in itself is a GAMBLE
This thing still boils down to our mentality as African parents. I can bet my chest that those adopted children were not taken care of and disciplined like their biological children. If they were taken care of and disciplined like the biological children, none of them will go haywire. Those parents put their biological kids first before the adopted ones and that begs for troubles
Yorubastardz: My aunt who was barren adopted a boy in 2002
Fast forward to 2025 last June. This boy turned my aunt life upside down
He Insults her like mad. Disrespect her in front of visitors. Scold at her
This got me thinking if Adoption is worth it Because the boy clearly don't feel connection
And during some of their outburst He will curse her and her family.. Omo
After seeing this same pattern in 3 families I have concluded ADOPTION IS A NO NO!!!!
If I adopt a child. Nobody, not even my family members, or friends will know that child is adopted. I don’t blame those adopted children but the parents that adopted them simply because they don’t treat them as their true-born child. Why is it that the way the white treat adopted children is entirely different from Africans? Despite all these, nothing will change my mind on adoption.
mascot87: Just because he choose not to support the Agalu fraud. You people are very predictable. If he had supported Peter the fraud, you would have been singing is praises by now. Bitter people like say terrorists, arsonists, drug dealers and hardened criminals aren't the supporters of Peter fraud
Sirchiboy: 1. No bride price will be paid on my head for any reason.
2. If we have children, they will bear both my name and your name.
3. I am not going to add your name or surname to my name.
4. The number of children we would birth will be my decision to make not yours.
5. Aside carrying the pregnancy to term there is no other responsibility you cannot carry out e.g bathing the kids, feeding them, changing diapers etc.
6. We both have equal rights and say so before any significant decision is made, we would table it and have a discussion then either meet up in the mid point or we go for the superior idea.
7. You are not my head, you are not my leader. We are partners, we are equals, we are adults.
8. We would have a court wedding.
9. There's no room for polygamy; the moment you decide to bring another woman, I have the right to leave.
10. House chores will be outsourced.
Etc
I love people like this. Hope sharing responsibilities will be included too like paying bills, killing unwanted pests in the house like cockroaches, rats or even snakes too.
– Nigerian businessman and socialite Henry Nzubechukwu (also known as Nzube Henry Ikeji), chairman of Zube Sunstar Group of Companies and founder of the Nzube Ikeji Foundation, has publicly declared his innocence amid allegations that he orchestrated a sophisticated $2.5 million romance and investment scam by impersonating the Crown Prince of Dubai.
The claims stem from a high-profile investigative documentary released in early February 2026 by the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), titled “How We Tracked a ‘Fake Prince’ Scammer to his Nigerian Mansion.” The report details how a Romanian businesswoman, identified only as Laura, was allegedly defrauded of over $2.5 million through an elaborate online scheme that began around three years ago.
According to the OCCRP investigation, Laura was initially contacted via LinkedIn by an individual posing as the Crown Prince of Dubai. The impersonator built a romantic connection and convinced her to transfer substantial sums for purported humanitarian investment projects and personal purposes. The fraud reportedly unraveled due to internal disputes among the alleged perpetrators, with one aggrieved associate later contacting Laura to reveal the scammer’s true identity as Nzube Henry Ikeji and providing video evidence purportedly showing him at a newly acquired mansion in Abuja. The documentary traced the alleged scammer to Nigeria, highlighting his connections and lifestyle. Following its publication, the Nigeria Police Force’s National Cybercrime Centre (NPF-NCCC) announced it would investigate the matter, describing the allegations as serious and warranting thorough review. Reports indicate that authorities in Nigeria, the UK, and Romania have been involved, with some funds reportedly seized, though no formal charges have been filed against Ikeji as of now.
In response to the swirling accusations, Henry Nzubechukwu issued a statement dismissing the claims as “100 per cent false, malicious, and a desperate fabrication” aimed at sabotaging his business interests. He described the allegations as defamatory and part of an orchestrated campaign of character assassination by disgruntled elements. Nzubechukwu emphasized that he has never engaged in fraud, romance scams, or impersonation of any kind.
He has reportedly honored invitations from agencies such as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to address the matter and clear his name. Supporters and associates have echoed his denial, asserting that he is a legitimate entrepreneur active in sectors like gadgets and real estate.
The case has sparked renewed discussions about the dangers of online romance scams, impersonation fraud, and the challenges of verifying identities in digital interactions. Romance scams continue to be a global issue, often exploiting trust to extract large sums from victims. As investigations proceed, both the public and authorities await further developments in what has become one of the most talked-about cyber fraud stories in Nigeria this year.
