 Nairaland General › My Husband Died Unexpectedly. Then I Faced Every Parent’s Worst Nightmare by Trendburst(op): 9:43am On Oct 03, 2024 |
My husband Ronnie Loza went to get a message and just never came home. A blood clot released from his leg, lodging in his heart. He passed away in January 2012 at the age of 44, leaving me a 41-year-old widow to raise our 18- and 9-year-old sons alone. My youngest son Steven and I attended grief groups together, along with my niece who was 12 at the time. These groups were beneficial to all of us. However, after a year and a half, they abruptly closed our center without notice, or even allowed us to say goodbye to people who became like family. We were all struggling with our grief, and we all grieved differently. My oldest Zach, kept so much in and didn’t show as much grief externally, but Steven wore it on his sleeve. I knew I had to do something, so I went to college and got my bachelor’s degree with a major in psychology and a minor in sociology with the goal of opening a new center. It was an incredible amount of work, but also healing for me. I had to put my grief someplace to ensure he didn’t die in vain. In 2018, our organization Ronnie’s House for Hope was officially a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We provide peer support grief services to children, teens, and families coping with death at no charge to our families. We have groups in the school system and at our new center. Allowing grievers a safe space to explore their grief, learn about it, and process it with others who have shared experiences. Our family is so proud of what we created out of our darkest days. There is something very powerful and healing about helping others get through the darkness and allow them to see some light again. Allowing parents to learn what a child’s grief looks like and how it differs from theirs. Raising a grieving child has so many additional challenges. It is a journey and not a destination. https://trendburst.com.ng/my-husband-died-unexpectedly-then-i-faced-every-parents-worst-nightmare/ |

| Politics › Edo Guber Election: Technology Alone Won’t Solve Electoral Issues by Trendburst(op): 8:53am On Sep 25, 2024 |
Former President Goodluck Jonathan has stated that the results of the recent governorship election in Edo State demonstrates that technology alone cannot resolve Nigeria’s electoral problems. He emphasized that the root of the issue lies in the mindset of the people, not just the tools used. Jonathan pointed out that while technology has its benefits, it can still be manipulated by individuals with corrupt intentions. According to him, a shift in attitude is needed among Nigerians, as many approach politics with a negative mindset. Speaking at an event organized by the Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution (IPCR) in Abuja to mark the International Day of Peace, Jonathan discussed the challenges facing Nigeria’s electoral system. He stressed that the quest for power is a significant driver of conflict across Africa, with technology being unable to fully address these deeper issues. Jonathan, who was honored as a Fellow of the IPCR during the event, making him the second person to receive this recognition after former Head of State General Yakubu Gowon, reiterated that a corrupted electoral process could not be rectified by technology alone. https://trendburst.com.ng/edo-guber-election-technology-alone-wont-solve-electoral-issues/ |

| Sports › Why I Didn’t Buy Arsenal – Africa’s Richest Man Dangote by Trendburst(op): 9:55am On Sep 24, 2024 |
Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, has finally disclosed why he decided not to purchase Premier League giants Arsenal, putting an end to years of speculation, Soccernet.ng reports. For a long time, rumours swirled that the Nigerian billionaire was set to buy the North London club for $2 billion. However, the talks eventually faded into silence, which left many to wonder what had happened. In an interview with Bloomberg’s Francine Lacqua, the Chairman of Dangote Group reflected on the missed opportunity, expressed his regret but also explaining his decision not to proceed with the acquisition. Despite this, Dangote remains a dedicated fan of the three-time Premier League champions. “I think that time has passed. The last time we spoke, I told you that once I finished with the refinery, I would try to buy Arsenal,” Dangote shared. “But the issue is that everything has gone up. The clubs are all doing well. Arsenal are doing extremely well now. At that time they were not doing very well.” Dangote explained that the price tag on football clubs has soared dramatically, making it impractical for him to invest in a football team at the current valuation. https://trendburst.com.ng/why-i-didnt-buy-arsenal-africas-richest-man-dangote/ 1 Like |

| Business › Real Estate Now An Open Market For Both Millennials And Genzs In Nigeria by Trendburst(op): 2:57pm On Sep 19, 2024 |
For decades, Nigeria’s real estate sector was perceived as the domain of older, wealthier generations. Property investments, home ownership, and land acquisitions were considered the realm of those with substantial capital and established careers. However, this perception is rapidly changing. Today, millennials and GenZs are entering the real estate market in unprecedented numbers, driven by digital advancements, shifting mindsets, and increasingly accessible financing options. A Shift in Mindset: Real Estate as a Viable Investment Historically, many young Nigerians prioritised short-term financial goals such as travel, education, and lifestyle purchases. Yet, a growing awareness of financial independence and wealth creation has shifted their focus toward real estate. They now view property ownership not just as a means of securing a residence, but as a lucrative investment opportunity. They recognise real estate’s potential for generating rental income, appreciating in value, and serving as a hedge against inflation. This shift in perspective reflects a broader trend of young people investing in properties that can be rented out or sold for profit, rather than merely seeking a permanent home. The Role of Technology: A Gateway to Opportunities Technology is transforming the real estate market for younger generations. Online platforms, including property listing sites and virtual tours, enable remote exploration of real estate options, while social media connects young investors with agents, developers, and peers for valuable insights. Innovations from proptech companies, such as fractional ownership, allow individuals to invest in portions of properties, making real estate more accessible. Additionally, crowd funding platforms let young investors pool resources, opening doors to property investments that were once financially unattainable. https://trendburst.com.ng/real-estate-now-an-open-market-for-both-millennials-and-genzs-in-nigeria/ |

| Politics › Obi, Otti Betrayed Us By Aligning With INEC, Abure Led LP Group by Trendburst(op): 8:51am On Sep 19, 2024 |
The leadership of the Labour Party loyal Julius Abure has accused members of its National Working Committee of being persecuted by the Independent National Electoral Commission for their role in defending the mandates of former presidential candidate Peter Obi and Abia State Governor Dr. Alex Otti during the 2023 general elections. The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Obiora Ifoh, made this disclosure at a press conference held in Abuja. Ifoh lamented that, rather than supporting the opposition party during its difficult time, the two leaders betrayed their trust by publicly aligning with the electoral commission. “’Gwo Gwo Gwo Ngwo’” is a popular folk song by highlife artist Mike Ejeagha that went viral on social media this year. Ifoh said, “The party is dismayed by the actions of our leaders, including our former presidential candidate and our only governor, who should be defending the party at this challenging moment. They should know that the LP is going through difficult times due to its role in supporting both leaders during the 2023 general election. Our leadership stood by Obi, canvassing through every corner for votes. “For the sake of context, many Nigerians will remember how we accommodated some of these leaders when they were denied tickets in their previous parties. Many who are now demanding the removal of Julius Abure were previously begging for tickets and couldn’t even afford the nomination forms. “The same LP leadership supported our governorship candidate in Abia through thick and thin, resisting all pressures and overcoming political and judicial challenges to ensure victory. Now, these leaders are aligning with INEC. It’s a betrayal.” https://trendburst.com.ng/obi-otti-betrayed-us-by-aligning-with-inec-abure-led-lp-group/ 1 Like |

He further advocated for the preservation of democracy in Nigeria, stressing the importance of biometric systems and greater scrutiny in Nigeria’s borrowing and spending.

| Politics › I Had No Agreement With Labour On Fuel Price-tinubu by Trendburst(op): 12:40pm On Sep 04, 2024 |
President Tinubu has denied reaching any agreement with Labour on the Fuel Price increase. The Presidency has said at no time did President Bola Tinubu promise the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) that his administration would not increase the pump price of fuel. The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Print Media, Abdulaziz Abdulaziz, said this on Tuesday, in reaction to organized labour’s outcry that workers have been betrayed. Recall that the NLC President, Joe Ajaero, demanded an immediate reversal of the adjusted fuel price increase by Tinubu’s government. Ajaero said Labour accepted the ₦70,000 minimum wage because the President promised there would not be an increase in fuel price. https://trendburst.com.ng/i-had-no-agreement-with-labour-on-fuel-price-tinubu/ |

Interim Super Eagles coach, Augustine Eguavoen recently discussed his appointment, making it clear that he did not seek the role. In an interview with the official Super Eagles channel, Eguavoen emphasized that his selection was not the result of any lobbying on his part, but rather a decision made by the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF). “I am a member of the Federation, working as the Technical Director Nigerian Football Federation,” Eguavoen said. “When a situation like this comes and you are being called upon, you can’t say no. It’s a task that I had performed; it is a duty that falls under my responsibility.” He added, “For the fact that the hierarchy of the Federation now feels and thinks that I can salvage the situation, why not? But one thing should be clear to the public: I didn’t ask for this; I didn’t lobby for this, I didn’t apply for this; it is God’s favor.” https://trendburst.com.ng/what-augustine-eguavoen-said-after-his-super-eagles-appointment/ |
