đź’” A Father’s Kiss or a Step Too Far? — The Viral Photo That Has Nigeria Talking

Image
A recent photo circulating online has left many Nigerians torn between admiration and discomfort. It shows a young girl — dressed neatly in her school uniform with a bright pink backpack — kissing a man believed to be her father through the window of a parked car before heading to school. At first glance, it’s a simple, heartfelt moment between a father and his daughter. But as the image spread, so did a wave of public debate — one that digs deep into how we interpret love, boundaries, and morality in modern Nigerian society. A Moment of Love or a Misunderstood Gesture? To some, this is nothing more than a father’s love on display — a proud dad showing affection before sending his daughter off to face the day. “Why are we making a big deal out of what’s innocent?” some online users asked. “African fathers should be encouraged to show more affection, not shamed for it.” However, others disagree strongly. They believe the act — particularly the lip-to-lip kiss — cro...

“The House of Empty Promises”

Image
1-Line Caption: When truth becomes a campaign slogan, the people become the product. Story: They built a mansion on the hill — glass walls, marble floors, and microphones that echoed with rehearsed passion. Every four years, the same script was recycled, only the actors changed. They spoke of “youth empowerment,” while the youths sold their votes for bags of rice. They preached “economic recovery,” while their convoys guzzled fuel worth a teacher’s lifetime salary. The streets learned to laugh at hope. Every manifesto sounded like a lullaby — soothing words before another round of hunger. And still, the people queued under the sun, inked their thumbs, and whispered, “Maybe this time.” But power in Nigeria isn’t lost — it’s traded. In smoke-filled rooms, they sign invisible contracts, swearing loyalty not to the nation, but to their stomachs. Until the day the streets grow tired of waiting. Until the people stop praying for miracles — and start becoming them.

VDM Exposes True Cost of Keke Napep, Fights for Fair Prices in Nigeria

Image
Summary (Report's) Social commentator VDM has taken it upon himself to challenge the inflated prices of Keke Napep in Nigeria. After public outcry over tricycles being sold for as high as ₦7 million , VDM investigated the issue firsthand. Traveling to China, he visited Keke manufacturing markets and revealed the real prices — far lower than what Nigerians pay. His on-ground footage showcased different models, from electric Kekes to stylish convertible types , proving that local buyers are being exploited through overpricing and import markups. VDM’s bold move has earned him public praise for doing what many only talk about — bringing transparency to an industry riddled with middlemen and inflated costs.

A shocking incident unfolded earlier today in a small town Community in Nigeria. A man allegedly abducted a three-week-old baby from a family’s home. According to eyewitnesses, the suspect had been lurking nearby and watching the baby’s mother.

*FORWARDED AS RECEIVED*

Image
I recently employed a cook 2 weeks ago who according to him had recently relocated from Abuja. He had full references and ID etcetera. To cut a long story short, a week after he started working, he told my nanny that he specialized in cloning atm/bank cards and replacing real  forex with counterfeit so the bosses could not suspect as the card will never be taken out of the house nor the quantity of the money reduce. He basically asked her to look around for any forex, higher denominations the better and take photos of it as well as any atm card she could find preferably not naira. She told me this a day after and to be honest i wasn’t exactly buying  the story but felt it was too ludicrous for her to make up plus he is a rather stellar cook. Plus i had no forex at home. I asked for proof before taking any actions and she proceeded to record their conversations. I also put a recording device in the kitchen unknown to her. Anyways, she was right. He called several na...

When I was 35 Years Old, I Dated A Woman Who Was 45 Years old

Image
She was divorced too but my reason for choosing an older and divorced woman was simple and straight to the point; I am at a point in my life that I needed less drama and more focus on putting my life to order.  I was creating my business and I needed to focus, so it was not a time to date a younger, foolish and entitled girl. I felt that experience would have helped an older woman to become mature and have lesser drama compared to these younger folks.  I did not want to be arguing about trivial matters as the following, which are common among younger girls.  Why I did not call 25 times a day.  Why I considered my business more important than her. Why she was not the first I talked to when I woke up from bed.  Why I posted on my status before responding to her messages.   Why I did not answer the call the first time she called. Why I had to talk to other women that I knew and did not ask out before I met her.  I considered dealing with ...

Here’s a researched, more accurate account of Kanu’s health‑related legal battles, and suggestions with some news articles with caveats and fact checks:

Image
 I searched widely, but I did not find any credible report confirming that a court recently ordered the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) to verify Nnamdi Kanu’s health status in eight days. I suspect this might be a misquote, misunderstanding, or confusion of different court orders involving Kanu’s health and access to medical records.           🔍 Background: Kanu’s Health & Legal Battles Over the years, Nnamdi Kanu — leader of the proscribed group IPOB — has repeatedly raised concerns about his health while in DSS custody. He has asked courts to allow independent medical examinations, access to his doctors, and full medical records. Key past developments: In July 2023, a Federal High Court in Abuja ordered the Department of State Services (DSS) to grant Kanu access to his medical records and doctors of his choice. The court held that DSS’s objections lacked merit, but stipulated that any independent medical examination be supervised by D...

 Here’s a researched  and  polished draft of the article — with verified facts, context, and a disclaimer — based on the latest reports. You should double‑check any claims before publishing. Court Orders NMA to Verify Kanu’s Health in Eight Days? A Critical Look A claim circulating in some corners of social media and alternative news outlets asserts that a court has directed the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) to verify the health status of Nnamdi Kanu within eight days. However, after a review of current media reports, there is no credible evidence of such an order. What the Reports Actually Say In September 2025, Kanu’s legal team filed a motion asking the Federal High Court in Abuja to transfer him from DSS custody to the Abuja National Hospital for medical attention. ( The Guardian Nigeria ) Justice Musa Liman , who was serving as a vacation judge, initially accepted the motion ex parte and scheduled a hearing, ordering that DSS be served. ( The Gu...

🕯 The Historian’s Confession: Lies, Names, and Shadows Behind The Lies Told to the Western World

The Midnight Whisper of Nigeria

Image
Story Time đź‘» The Midnight Whisper of Nigeria They say that when the moon is full, and the wind sighs through the trees, a name whispers in the dark. A name older than the borders, older than the monarchies, older even than the stories of the people who now walk these lands. Tonight, you will hear its secret. 🔍 Origins in the Mist Long ago, in lands beyond the desert and the dry winds, there flowed a river. A river known to the Tuareg people by a name like egerew n-igerewen — in their tongue meaning “River of Rivers” or “Great River” . It wound its way through soil, forest, and savannah, threading the land with water, life, mystery. Historians believe this was one of the sources of the name Niger.  Then came explorers and colonial journalists with pens as sharp as blades. In 1897, a British journalist, Flora Shaw , looked upon the river and the territories that followed its flow, and she spoke a name into being: Nigeria — “ land of Nig...
