Edo State Government is currently investigating a 17yr-old boy who purchased 14,000 hectares of land and paid full. Monday Okpebholo says he must explain his source of income.
Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo launched an investigation into a 17-year-old's full payment for 14,000 hectares of land—roughly 140 square kilometers—suspending all Certificates of Occupancy until the boy's income source is verified, amid broader anti-land grabbing efforts.
The post's image shows Okpebholo at a podium, emphasizing his public stance during a meeting with an NGO that flagged the issue, highlighting governance transparency in Nigeria's land disputes.
X replies reveal widespread humor and doubt over the land's scale, with users joking it covers entire districts and urging probes into youth poverty rather than sudden wealth.
92 years old Cameroon president, Paul biya doing non appearance campaign
The post satirizes Cameroon's 92-year-old President Paul Biya's reelection bid for an eighth term on October 12, 2025, via a video of supporters using giant effigies for rallies, underscoring his long absences from public view despite recent appearances.
Biya, in power since 1982, exemplifies Africa's trend of extended leadership, with constitutional amendments enabling indefinite rule; data from Freedom House rates Cameroon as "not free," citing suppressed opposition.
Replies humorously link the tactic to aging politicians in Nigeria (e.g., 73-year-old Tinubu) and Uganda (86-year-old Deputy PM Moses Ali), reflecting regional critiques of dynastic or geriatric governance without term limits.
Benin Palace Questions Motive Of Iyaloja Role In Edo Markets, Urges Tinubu’s Daughter To Also Extend Concept To Kano, Aba, Others
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Palace expressed deep reservations over what it termed the “politicisation of market leadership” through trade associations and partisan influence.
The Benin Traditional Council (BTC), acting on the authority of Oba of Benin, His Royal Majesty Oba Ewuare II, has questioned the motive behind the introduction of the Iyaloja concept in Edo State by the Iyaloja-General of Nigeria, Folashade Tinubu-Ojo, the daughter of President Bola Tinubu, describing it as alien to Benin culture and tradition.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Palace expressed deep reservations over what it termed the “politicisation of market leadership” through trade associations and partisan influence.
The Palace warned that such practices are “antithetical and inimical to the essence of our market tradition in Benin culture.”
“While the Palace maintains its position that the Iyaloja concept is alien to the culture of Benin, the Palace also frowns at the use of trade associations to run open markets and to play partisan politics,” the statement read.
Clarifying the traditional market structure in Benin, the Palace explained that the Iyeki (market head) emerges organically among market women and is later presented to the Palace for confirmation, akin to how a village Odionwere is endorsed.
“Every Iyeki is independent of each other and culturally, spiritually, and religiously tied to the Palace,” the statement emphasised.
“Just as there is no honorary chieftaincy title in Benin culture, so also there is no honorary Iyeki title in Benin culture.”
The Palace warned that any attempt to politicise the traditional Iyeki role could “lead to a breach of peace,” urging the Edo State Government to recognise and uphold this long-standing cultural order.
The Palace expressed concern that Edo markets have, for some time, become “tools in the hands of partisan politicians and unscrupulous individuals,” adding that such manipulation contributes to the inflation of food prices, undermining President Tinubu’s efforts to stabilise the economy.
The Palace also recalled that a previous market leader, Blacky Ogiemien, was cautioned against politicising market affairs during an earlier administration but allegedly ignored royal counsel.
Quoting a Benin adage, “uvun re rhan iramwen elaro” (if there is no hole in a tree, deadly insects cannot find an entrance into it), the Palace likened the current controversy to the failure of some Iyekis to uphold their traditional loyalty to the Palace.
The Palace directly addressed the national dimension of the Iyaloja role, championed by the President’s daughter, Mrs. Folashade Tinubu-Ojo, asking pointedly whether the same initiative would be extended to other regions.
The Palace stated that if the Iyaloja concept, which is typically a Yoruba cultural tradition, has become a national concept, the President’s daughter should extend it to other parts and regions of Nigeria, including places like Kano in the north, Aba in the South-East, among others.
“We do not know the aim of this Iyaloja concept being introduced to Edo State. We hope that if it is a national thing, then the Iyaloja of Lagos (or Nigeria) must extend this concept to the other states in Nigeria before we can believe its authenticity and motive.
“We also have a question: Can an Edo woman be made the Iyaloja of Lagos or Nigeria? Can this concept of Iyaloja be extended to Aba, Owerri, Keffi, Kaduna, Kano, Sokoto, and other parts of Nigeria?”
Despite its concerns, the Palace reaffirmed its unwavering support for the administration of Governor Monday Okpebholo in Edo State, describing the relationship between the Governor and the Oba as “a divine blessing to Edo State.”
“Akpakomiza plus Ewuare N’Ogidigan is a divine blessing to Edo State,” the statement noted.
“We commend, support, and appreciate the work of the Governor and the President, and appeal to them not to allow the shenanigans of market women politics distract them from the divine work they have been elected to do.”
The statement was signed by Chief Norense Ozigbo-Esere, Osuma of Benin; Chief Osaro Idah, Obazelu of Benin; Chief Okunoghae Edomwandagbon, Ine of Benin; Chief Edionwe Oliha, Oliha of Benin; Chief Ada Igbinovia, Eribo of Benin, and Frank Irabor, Secretary, Benin Traditional Council.
The post shares a 54-second video clip from a Nigerian highway, capturing a passenger urinating out the window of a moving "Uncle Jay" bus emblazoned with "There is God," eliciting shocked reactions in pidgin English like "This man de pi" amid humorous narration.

Thread replies amplify the comedy with scenarios of desperate passengers begging drivers to stop, reflecting widespread anecdotes of infrequent rest breaks on long Nigerian bus journeys, often turning into memes for stress relief.
Brit, 20, dies in Dubai as bag of cocaine 'bursts in his stomach'
Jensen Westhead, 20, swallowed a number of packages of cocaine at a hotel in Manchester before boarding a flight to Dubai - at least one of the bags burst in his stomach
A 20-year-old British man died in Dubai after a bag of cocaine he had swallowed before boarding a flight burst in his stomach.
Jensen Westhead, 20, swallowed a number of packages containing the Class A drug at a hotel in Manchester on December 2 last year. He then boarded a flight from Manchester Airport to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, where he arrived on December 3.
However, at least one of the packages burst in his stomach and he suffered an overdose. Jensen, from Thornton Cleveleys, Lancashire, was found dead at the Hotel Avalon in Dubai on December 4. Now, four people have been charged following Jensen's death as a result of a complex investigation by Lancashire Police.
Rebecca Hatch 43, Glenn Hatch, 50, Alexander Tofton, 32, and Steven Stephenson, 36, have been charged with conspiracy to fraudulently evade the prohibition on exportation of a Class A drug from November 21 to December 4 last year, reports the Liverpool Echo. Stephenson has also been charged with being concerned in the supply of cocaine.
They are all due to appear before Lancaster Magistrates' Court on Friday, October 31. In a statement issued on Friday afternoon, Lancashire Police said: "Four people have been charged with drug offences following the death of a man in Dubai.
"On 2nd December 2024, Jensen Westhead swallowed a number of packages of cocaine at a hotel in Manchester before boarding a flight from Manchester Airport, arriving in Dubai on 3rd December 2024.
"At least one of the packages of cocaine burst in his stomach and he suffered an overdose. Mr Westhead, 20, of Thornton Cleveleys, (pictured) was sadly found dead at the Hotel Avalon in Dubai on 4th December. Following a complex Lancashire Police investigation four people have today been charged and will appear in court later this month.
"Rebecca Hatch (17/12/1981), of Hatfield Close, Thornton Cleveleys; Glenn Hatch (15/06/1975), also of Hatfield Close, Thornton Cleveleys; Alexander Tofton 30/09/1993), of Tewkesbury Drive, Lytham St Annes and Steven Stephenson (12/12/1988), of St Lawrence, Denton, Manchester, have been charged with Conspiracy to fraudulently evade the prohibition on exportation of a class A drug from 21/11/2024 to 04/12/2024.
"Stephenson has also been charged with being concerned in the supply of cocaine. They are all due to appear before Lancaster Magistrates’ Court on October 31st."
An economist and Managing Director of Financial Derivatives Company Limited, Bismarck Rewane, has said that Nigeria cannot sustain 36 states at present.
Rewane made this statement on Wednesday while responding to questions in an interview on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television.
He argued that Nigeria spends excessively on administration.
“Nigeria cannot afford to have 36 states. It’s unviable. We spend too much money administering.
“This country is twice the size of California in terms of geographical space, and the number of people administering this country in terms of 774 local governments, 36 states, the Federal Capital Territory, FCT. Managing what?” he stated.
Speaking further, Rewane said: “Take for instance, the old Western region is now split into several states being managed by governors, commissioners, special assistants and the likes. I think you have to rethink to restructure, whether you will go back to regionalism or not.”
The post ranks Nigeria's states by indigenous languages from the National Library's 2024 map, topping with Bauchi at 106, followed by Adamawa (77) and Taraba (61), mostly in northern regions.
Northern states dominate due to historical migrations fostering ethnic diversity, contrasting southern states like Rivers (20th with 20 languages) amid Nigeria's 520+ total tongues.
Replies challenge counts, arguing dialects are miscounted as languages and southern diversity (e.g., Cross River exceeding 11) is understated, echoing debates on linguistic classification.
Borno Governor Zulum Visits Niger Republic To Strengthen Military Cooperation Over Attacks Around Lake Chad
The visit follows recent military successes against Boko Haram and ISWAP insurgents, particularly in border communities where thousands of Nigerian refugees remain in camps.
The Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, has embarked on a visit to Diffa in the Niger Republic to strengthen security and economic cooperation across the Lake Chad basin.
The visit follows recent military successes against Boko Haram and ISWAP insurgents, particularly in border communities where thousands of Nigerian refugees remain in camps.
Diffa, located about 17 kilometres from Damasak in northern Borno, is currently hosting thousands of displaced persons who fled their homes following insurgent attacks.
Governor Zulum, who led a high-powered delegation, was received by the Governor of Diffa Region, Brig Gen Mahamadou Ibrahim Bagadoma, and other senior Nigerien officials.
Both leaders held a closed-door meeting focused on joint patrols, intelligence sharing, and consolidating fragile peace in liberated areas.
Speaking during the visit, Zulum said “My administration was working to take advantage of the improved security atmosphere to return displaced farmers to vast and fertile farmlands around Dutchi in the Lake Chad basin.”
He added “Restoring farming activities remains key to the region’s recovery and food security.”
The governor’s entourage included a member of the House of Representatives, Engineer Bukar Talba, Speaker of the Borno State House of Assembly, Abdulkarim Lawan, and other senior government officials.

Oba Of Benin Ewuare II Tells Tinubu’s Daughter: ‘Iyaloja-General Not Recognised In Benin Culture’
The monarch stated that the title of Iyaloja is foreign to Benin, noting that Benin is the home of culture, where their own traditions are upheld.
The Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, has cautioned Mrs. Folashade Ojo-Tinubu, daughter of President Bola Tinubu, against referring to herself as Iyaloja-General within the Benin Kingdom, stressing that the title does not exist in Benin culture.
The monarch provided the clarification on Tuesday when Ojo-Tinubu, who is nationally recognised as the Iyaloja-General of Nigerian market women, paid him a courtesy visit at his palace in Benin City.
Ojo-Tinubu, who was accompanied by Mrs. Edesili Okpebholo-Anani, Coordinator of the Edo State First Lady’s office, had informed the monarch that she was in Edo to inaugurate Pastor (Mrs.) Josephine Isi Ibhaguezejele as the Iyeki-General of the state.
Responding, Oba Ewuare II explained that the proper title in Benin tradition is Iyeki, not Iyaloja, adding that the Iyeki plays both administrative and cultural roles in every market and must be confirmed by the palace after being selected by the market women.
The monarch stated that the title of Iyaloja is foreign to Benin, noting that Benin is the home of culture, where their own traditions are upheld. He stated that he had discussed the matter with his chiefs and other knowledgeable persons.
He emphasised that every Iyeki has a special relationship with the palace and performs cultural duties in shrines located within markets.
Chief Osaro Idah, who was authorised by the monarch to clarify further, explained that each market has its independent Iyeki, such as in Oba Market or Ogiso Market.
He said, “Iyeki is independent in every market like the Oba market, Ogiso market, and others. The traders select their leaders from within the markets. The Iyeki does more than the role of coordinating traders.
“There are certain shrines inhabited in all the markets. They play certain roles on behalf of the palace. After their selection, they bring the person to the palace for confirmation.
“The novelty of general Iyeki is alien to Benin custom and tradition. We just believe the Iyaloja is your socio-cultural thing, like you have other clubs.
“It is not in our culture to have a general Iyeki. Iyeki is particular to each market. No one has the right to control the other in another market. The Iyeki in Oba Market has no role to play in Ogiso Market. The Oba established the market for all in the society.”

The post criticizes Gani Adams, Yoruba cultural leader and OPC founder, for touring Vatican City on September 30, 2025, amid ongoing Fulani militant attacks in Kwara South and Kogi South, contrasting him unfavorably with activist Sunday Igboho.
Verified events include multiple September 2025 incidents, such as a September 14 Lakurawa raid killing villagers in Kwara and a September 22 bandit attack in Kogi's Yagba East that killed two police officers and a civilian, displacing communities.
Replies highlight Adams' ceremonial Aare Ona Kakanfo title limits his operational power, with OPC seen as a volunteer group lacking military resources, fueling debates on Yoruba self-defense leadership.
Ooni of Ife introduced me to my ex-Canadian wife and even plotted to eliminate me. My rift with him will never be over. — Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi
Oba Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi, the Oluwo of Iwo, accuses Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife, of orchestrating an assassination plot by introducing him to a Canadian woman as his wife, who allegedly poisoned him three times over three years while secretly communicating with the Ooni.
This allegation revives a long-standing feud between the two Yoruba monarchs, dating back to at least 2018, involving disputes over traditional hierarchy, with Oluwo previously claiming Ile-Ife is not the Yoruba origin and challenging the Ooni's primacy.
The video, posted on September 30, 2025, has garnered over 70,000 views and sparked widespread online reactions, but no official response from the Ooni's palace has emerged as of October 1, 2025, amid calls for reconciliation from cultural bodies.

United Capital releases names and photos of staff who lost their lives in the Afriland Towers fire.
The X post by Linda Ikeji highlights a tragic fire at Afriland Towers in Lagos Island on September 16, 2025, where United Capital Plc confirmed the loss of six staff members, adding to the 10 total deaths reported by FIRS and United Capital, as per Channels Television, underscoring a significant workplace safety failure in a major commercial hub.
Investigations reveal the fire’s cause remains unclear, with initial social media videos showing desperate escape attempts and ladder rescues, suggesting inadequate emergency protocols, a concern supported by a 2022 World Bank report noting Nigeria’s building safety regulations lag behind global standards due to enforcement gaps.
The incident’s impact extends beyond human loss, with property damage estimated in millions of naira, prompting a rare collaborative probe by Lagos authorities and federal agencies, challenging the narrative of robust urban safety measures in Nigeria’s economic capital.
A disturbing incident of domestic viølence was reported in the Ilese area of Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, where a man severely beåt his wife over allegations of infidèlity
The video in the X post depicts a disturbing scene of domestic violence in Ilese, Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, Nigeria, where a man is seen severely beating his wife over allegations of infidelity, highlighting a severe breach of human rights and the urgent need for intervention in such cases.
This incident aligns with broader trends in Nigeria, where domestic violence is reported as the second most common legal problem, affecting 81% of the population annually, according to the 2023 Justice Needs and Satisfaction Survey by HiiL, underscoring the systemic nature of the issue.
The event also reflects a societal challenge where infidelity is sometimes misconstrued as a justification for abuse, despite evidence suggesting that such acts constitute emotional and physical abuse, as discussed in resources like BTR.org, which argue that infidelity can be a form of domestic violence.

Bandit leader Garwa frees 40 captives in Katsina State, cautioning the Nigerian government against striking his camp
The video features Isiya Kwashen Garwa, a notorious bandit leader in Katsina State, Nigeria, who has recently accepted a peace deal and released 40 captives, as reported by security analyst Zagazola Makama. This development is significant because Garwa is listed among Nigeria's 19 most-wanted terrorists, and his actions highlight the complex dynamics of banditry and government responses in the region.
The peace deal and release of captives occur against a backdrop of ongoing banditry crises in northern Nigeria, where groups like Garwa's have been involved in killings, kidnappings, and raids. This situation is exacerbated by the presence of large ungoverned spaces, which have become operational bases for such groups, as noted in a 2020 statement by Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai rejecting negotiations with bandits.
The event underscores the challenges of addressing banditry in Nigeria, where despite government efforts, the crisis persists due to factors such as state fragility and the profitability of kidnapping, with an estimated 18 billion naira paid in ransoms between 2011 and 2020. The peace deal with Garwa reflects a recurring pattern of temporary truces, as seen with other bandit leaders like Halilu Buzu, who also engaged in peace arrangements before being killed in a military operation in 2023.

I did BBL Surgery for My Mental Health — Actress Uche Ogbodo
Nollywood actress Uche Ogbodo has revealed why she opted for body enhancement surgery, saying it was a personal decision to regain confidence and protect her mental health.
Uche Ogbodo, a Nollywood actress since 2006 with awards like Best Supporting Actress in 2015, claims her Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery was to boost her mental health, a decision reflecting a growing trend among Nigerian actresses amid industry pressure for enhanced physiques, as noted in African Celebrities Magazine's critique of talent versus curves.
Research from PMC on bariatric surgery shows body-altering procedures can improve mental health conditions like depression and anxiety in some cases, but also link to risks like suicide and self-harm, suggesting Ogbodo’s rationale may have scientific grounding yet lacks long-term outcome data specific to BBLs.
Social media’s role in setting beauty standards, as highlighted by African Celebrities Magazine, likely influences Ogbodo’s choice, with Instagram’s curated images pushing actresses toward cosmetic surgery, challenging Nollywood’s traditional focus on raw talent exemplified by icons like Rita Dominic.
NIDCOM Chairman, Abike Dabiri, Hails Nigerian’s Historic Promotion to U.S. Navy Commodore
The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) has celebrated Captain Kelechi Ndukwe, a Nigerian-American, on his historic promotion to the rank of Commodore in the United States Navy.
Abike Dabiri, NIDCOM Chairman, uses this milestone to showcase Nigerian diaspora success, a shift from her past controversies involving ethnic slurs, which sparked public backlash and debates on tribalism in Nigerian governance, as documented in a 2025 Punch Nigeria article analyzing her social media behavior.
The promotion reflects broader trends of African diaspora contributions to global militaries, with a 2023 study from the Journal of African Diaspora Studies estimating that over 10,000 African-born individuals serve in U.S. armed forces, challenging narratives of limited global influence from the continent.
Nigerian girl breaks down in tears after her UK student visa was terminåted for exceeding the 20-hour work limit. She has now been ordered to leave the country immediately. According to reports, she took up extra work after losing her father in 2023, who had been her main sponsor🥹🥲
The post describes a Nigerian student's emotional breakdown after her UK student visa was terminated for exceeding the 20-hour work limit, a rule enforced by the UK Home Office to prevent exploitation and ensure compliance with immigration laws. This incident highlights the stringent enforcement of visa conditions, which can lead to immediate deportation, as seen in recent crackdowns reported by Businessday NG in October 2023.
The student's situation worsened after losing her father in 2023, who was her main sponsor, forcing her to take on additional work to support herself. This backstory adds a layer of personal tragedy, illustrating how life circumstances can intersect with immigration policies, often with severe consequences, as noted in the UK government's immigration white paper of May 2025 aiming to reduce immigration by tightening settlement rules.
The event underscores broader systemic issues, such as the employment crisis in some European countries leading to stricter visa enforcement, as mentioned by user Chuks in the thread. This shift reflects a policy change where previously lenient enforcement has tightened, affecting international students, particularly from Nigeria, who form a significant portion of the UK student population, with a 73% increase in sponsored study visas as reported in 2023.

The video captures a scene in a rural Laotian village where children react with fear and run away from a white tourist, highlighting a cultural and historical context of mistrust towards foreigners, possibly due to past experiences with exploitation or trauma, as suggested by the post's title "accidentally traumatising a village in Laos."
The children's reaction can be contextualized by historical events in Laos, such as the Vietnam War-era bombings and the subsequent economic and social impacts, which have left a legacy of wariness towards outsiders, compounded by rare tourist visits to such remote areas.
This incident reflects broader themes of cultural sensitivity and the impact of tourism on local communities, where unfamiliarity with tourists can lead to fear, and it underscores the importance of understanding local histories and current social dynamics to mitigate unintended negative interactions.
