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?

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.

Dey play!

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

Banbanna:
Good advice. But @ the bolded, family members and friends of the family could likely reveal the secret.

Anyone that reveals that is dead to me and disowned. I’ll sue him or her to court and that will serve as a deterrent to others.

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😂

Kingrshd3:
Hmmm omo my hears don boil already..

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

When you’re done b a. R — king, let me know.

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.

Awọn abunu ọmọ sha, ẹranko😂

I wonder why people give this fraudsters attention in this country.

[quote author=ogugwa1992 post=138438390]Nigerian Businessman Henry Nzubechukwu Breaks Silence, Denies $2.5 Million Romance Scam Allegations



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WgVY4j6muI?si=p0M_0lm_2xrwOlXV

– 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.

This Aishat is not wise. She could have simply said she doesn't know the guy or his claims are wrong. Saying all that stuff about his family and him sleeping with married women and him being poor etc already confirms that what he was saying is true. But the Emmanuel guy should chill. Recently he has been trying so hard tk use popular actors to trend in order to revive his dead career

It really pain me for the guy. What happens to him is a lesson to learn. This guy was hot back then, all his films back then were back to back. I wonder how he fall from grace to grass.

https://lifestyle.thecable.ng/actress-aishat-raji-fires-back-at-austine-emmanuel-over-claim-she-conspired-to-sabotage-his-career/

I remember this guy from back when I used to watch Orisun TV in my parents’ house. His movies were always back-to-back with this lady in question and I used wondered at the time if they were dating. And from what I’ve observed, he has a point in some areas, but he also caused some of his own problems. The way he started rising in the movie industry back then probably gave other producers reasons to have beef him. I even remember in one of his interviews where he exposed some secrets among these Nollywood actors and I’ve been piecing everything he said together along with what other producers and actors have said about these subtle, coded rivalries in the industry. They do not love one another, it’s all fake love. You can imagine someone like Kunle Afolayan, someone I respect a lot throwing subtle shade at people who dance just to promote their movies, and everyone knows exactly who that bullet was meant for. The sky is too big for everyone to fly. I still wonder about the origins of this beef. Omotola Jolade-Ekeinde too dey put mouth. Nonsense upon ingredient.

This lady here is lying, even if she is right in some aspects, but can she really swear she never dated Austin Emmanuel?

Meanwhile, I’m just over here enjoying Plantashun Boiz’s playlist this morning😊

Fuckyoumod:
Can you please elaborate more? Because I believe he was no hypnotized, he chose that dangerous, destructive and satanic path out of his own free will.

You make me feel like gays are coerced into it.

There are things you may not understand. I guess you’re already stuck in your conclusion. Trying to make you see the whole picture may not help. Life is an experiment, it’s about finding out. Make your research, dot your “i” and cross your “t” in fact, DYOR.

God bless you Thomas and bless me too. 🥰

I was just grinning from ear to ear as I read your post. 😀😀

The good old days came back alive. The music books sold at newspaper stands were a must have. Do you know I even used money given to me to buy notebook for music book?

Today, the burden of running a family makes it look like we have never been genuinely happy and at peace. 😀

It's well with us.

I smiled reading your comment. How time really flies. I remember those music books with love and inspirational messages. They are fire😂 I remember one guy back in secondary school then, you will see him cram most of these quotes and later come to school to bamboozle us with them with some childish swag to get the ladies😂🤣🤣

We can’t but shy away from the truth, life indeed has changed, responsibilities have grown but those memories will linger on and prove that we were once like a child with no worries in the world when our parents were the ones carrying them. Now, the bulk rests on us.

P.S: Just rounding off a call with my cousins to remind them of their childhood and childish days (I’m excluded)😄

Iamajike:
I cant remember the last time i had quality of sleep and this is the reason I am awake to write this, if you can see, the is almost 2am midnight...

In 2020, I got a car as a birthday gift from my brother. At that period, it was not that I could not afford a car, but I had another priority other than a car. Yeah, the car served me well until last year, when it kept giving me problem upon problem. The reality now is that I am not financially capable of getting a new car for myself, as I have health challenges that have drained me at the moment, and I pray God comes through fast.

So I recently called my brother to inform him about the current situation, and I told him I will be selling my car, but I need 3m to add to the car money to buy a nice, standard Nigerian used car to use in the meantime. I told him I have 1m naira cash, and if he can give me 1m or 1.5m to add to it, I can talk to one of my friends to get the balance, so he promised to give me the money by the end of January; however, I have spent the 1m I kept on medical again and can't meet up with my need.

The main problem I am having now is that I told him about it, and he said I should not worry, that he'll be coming to the country soon to spend 2 months, and the car he uses he'll drop it for me to use... This is where I get the issue, or call it mixed feelings.

He wanted to get a Benz, but I advised him to buy a Corolla since he'll be dropping it for me, but he said his standard can never use a Corolla. I told him to consider me since he promised to drop the car for me as my present condition would not make me able to maintain a Benz, and those who should help me might be calling me boss, and I would not want to be calling him for help or maintenance money every time.

I can maintain a Corolla on my own now, but this man does not see from my angle.

The truth is that I can't go out without a car, I can't use public transport at the moment, and I can't maintain Benz with this condition. And I also don't want to be a burden on anyone.

Please, how can I convince him to reason in my way? I am 100 percent sure he'll help if I ask, but I don't want to be asking him every time so I don't lose the little respect I get while still alive.

Modified...
Attached is the screenshot of what I asked him to get. Corolla 2011 or Camry Spider...

You all can see we had 1hr 57min of conversation and another 1hr 19mins to convince him but failed.

All you need to do is train your mindset. I remember when I wanted to buy my first car, someone suggested I go for a Benz. I immediately said no, I was going for a Toyota. In my mind, Benz was too expensive to maintain and felt like a car meant only for very rich and loud people. That was my mindset at the time until I changed it. Today, I drive a Benz. And what changed? My mindset. Sometimes the only thing standing between you and your next level is the story you keep telling yourself. And trust me, when you finally step into that new level, when you start driving the Benz of your life, the experience will completely different unlike before.

Don’t make decisions based on what people might say and don’t limit yourself because of inherited fears or assumptions. Train your mind. Stretch it. Adapt.

And never forget that after “Mr Niger D” comes “A”, and that stands for “Adaptability”.

High Expectations as Zule Zoo Set to Celebrate 20 Years on Stage With ‘Ultimate Thank You Party’

Preparations are in full swing as iconic Nigerian music duo Zule Zoo marks 20 years in the entertainment industry with a special anniversary concert tagged the “Ultimate Thank You Party.”

The milestone event commemorates the group’s two-decade journey, which began in the early 2000s and was propelled into national prominence by their breakout hit, Kerewa.

The song helped define an era and established Zule Zoo as pioneers of the distinctive “Takuraku” sound, a fusion of traditional Nigerian rhythms, hip-hop, and reggae.

Scheduled for February 21 in Abuja, the celebration will bring together top-rated music stars, comedians, dancers, and renowned MCs for a night of performances and tributes.

Organizers describe the concert as a historic gathering dedicated to music, legacy, and appreciation of fans who have supported the group over the years.

Beyond the festivities, the anniversary will also serve as a tribute to the late Michael Aboh, one half of the duo, who passed away in 2022. The event is expected to honour his enduring contributions to Nigerian music and his role in shaping Zule Zoo’s legacy.

The surviving member, Al-Hassan Ibrahim, is spearheading the initiative as a heartfelt expression of gratitude to fans and industry supporters. The concert will be held at Blake Excellence Resort, promising an evening that blends nostalgia with contemporary entertainment.

With two decades of influence behind them, Zule Zoo’s anniversary celebration stands as both a reunion of memories and a reaffirmation of their lasting imprint on Nigeria’s music scene.

Ticket prices have been slashed to enable fun seekers come out in their large numbers go honour the duo.

This guys song, “Kerewa” just brings me some memories. I remember playing that song on VCD player with my siblings and cousins present laughing and dancing. Chai! What a nostalgic feeling😄

E do mummy soke, mummy come get bigi belle
The man still dey do kerewa kerewa ko
Kerewa kerewa kerewawa 😂😂😂

Me and my cousins and siblings argue so tey that the beginning na gba gba gba lo, one of us say na mama Ma lo, another person say na ban ban balo, another one say na gban gban gbalo. Na until we buy the lyrics book we come see the answer. Petty things and meaningless things we turn into battles and keep debating.

AndroBlaze:
We are not Indian and really shouldn't be using them as a yardstick.

What’s the colour of your problem? Can’t you just go and pass? Why is it that it’s only you Nigerians that make jest of people’s way of expressing themselves unlike other countries. Is there a secret competition or trophy to that or what? Low self-esteem issues sha. Hope you get your ignorance cured someday.

RIP to him.

The society forbids that, it irritates, it provokes and make people lose their sanity.

A wise man would have jettisoned the idea of being a gay in a place or society where it's regarded as a taboo.

I as much are you think he has the right to be a gay, the society also have a right to reject and say no to gay.

No parent should ever experience this level taboo.

Do you think it’s some people’s fault to be a gay?

A tense confrontation erupted between Rotimi Amaechi and police officers at the National Assembly. #OccupyNationalAssembly #ElectoralReform #OccupyNASS pic.twitter.com/3I9JTa1o3Y

— CRA27 Advocacy (@CRA27_Advocacy) February 10, 2026

A tense confrontation erupted between former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, and police officers at the National Assembly.

In a viral video on Tuesday, Amaechi, a former Transportation Minister, could be seen engaging in a shouting match with police operatives.

Amaechi, who attended the protest with his son – a medical doctor – said he brought him along in case the demonstration turns violent and injuries are sustained.

He explained that he came with his son to demonstrate his belief that during major protests, leaders should be at the forefront with their families.

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain called on Nigerians to rise up, adding that all opposition parties ought to be on the streets to protest the Senate’s decision.

Amaechi alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is opposed to electronic transmission of election results because it fears losing elections.
