I have initiated legal & regulatory action against @glovoapp_ng, @PrinceEbeano supermarket, & @paystack for violating my rights.
On 14 Dec 2024, I placed a grocery order via @glovoapp_ng from @PrinceEbeano supermarket. The total was ₦17k and I was debited that sum.
I need testimonies of people who went through really tough times, who tried everything and it looked like it was never gonna happen for them until one day things changed for the better. I need those testimonies because wow🥹
I’ve noticed a trend, nowadays most successful young Nigerian men seem to distance themselves from Nigerian women once they’ve achieved success.
I’m genuinely curious, why?
On my starlink there is no password as well. Because it is unlimited, and I don’t have a scarcity mindset. People gather around my fence to connect 😂😂😂
I don't have any problem with anybody, but I just want to mention that this thing where Africans meet U.S. diplomats in their embassy and come out talking about how they had "meaningful conversations" - I think you people don't realise that every single American you met inside that embassy is a trained CIA operative? From the Second Secretary to the Cultural Attache to the Ambassador - they're all CIA.
It's their JOB to engage you in warm conversation so that you feel important and your mouth will start to run like a tap, which is what they're after - intelligence gathering. Not like I have anything against Tunde Onakoya, but I've seen several variants of this statement from Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Zimbabwe, South Africa and it always amuses me.
That conversation you people had with the oyibo diplomat was not "meaningful" kan kan, and they're not your friend - you're being cultivated! These "meaningful conversations" are just them putting water and fertiliser on your head, until you eventually sprout into yet another African extension of U.S. foreign policy. But you people always think you are special 😭
Na wa for obibini o. After 500 years manchi never still wise.
My family is based in Awka, while I stay in Abuja. I received a call that my mom had passed, so I rushed down to Awka in Anambra State for her burial, as the first son n husb. After the burial, I stayed around for my siblings trying to put things in order before going back to abj.
On April 12, 2024. I was returning with two of my friends, Emmanuel and Elo, who came to see me since it had been a long time we saw.That night, we went to Ibiza and then spent time at Dkings in Awka. Eventually, I told them it was getting late, and we should head home because I was supposed to drop Emmanuel off at his place. However, he changed his mind and decided to spend the night at my house with Elo in the car.
When we arrived at my gate around after 10pm, I parked outside, which is my usual spot for easier departures. After I parked, my friends got out of the car. As we were chatting and urinating before going inside, I suddenly heard a low voice say, "Stand where you are." About six men with guns surrounded us—three approached me with pump-action rifles and pistols, one of whom was wearing a ski mask. It seemed they had been waiting for us.
Sensing danger, I quickly threw my phone away under my car and tossed my car key into the bushes,remembering that my car wasn't locked. I pressed the lock button before throwing the key. The group split up: three approached me while the others confronted my friends, demanding that we lie down and not look. The three surrounding me began beating me and asked if I was the one driving. They demanded for my car key and phone. I told them my phone was in the car. They searched for the car key in the bushes and found it, handing it to two of their men who drove off with my car.
As I saw their own car approaching—a red saloon car—they asked me again if I was the one driving while hitting me and ordering me to stand up and follow them without looking. They warned that if I acted funny, they would shoot me.
They made my two friends lie down in front of my gate, took a phone from one of them, and blindfolded me. They hit me and forced me into the back seat of their car, with two men sitting beside me—one on my left hitting my head and the other on my right, still pointing a gun at me. I tried to stay calm.
The driver, a huge man, and another person in the front passenger seat began driving away. They kept demanding my phone, which I insisted was in my car the other of their gang members left with. They called their gang member to check if my phone was there, but they didn’t find it. I suggested to them that it might be in the glove compartment, but when they checked, it wasn’t there. I told them maybe one of my friends had it since we had been playing music with it. They stopped the car and sent two men back to my gate to check, but they returned empty-handed because my friends had run into my compound and locked the gate when I was taken.
Meanwhile, they robbed some people on the street, taking their phones, including an iPhone 14 Pro Max and an iPhone 12 Pro Max from a guy and his girlfriend who were enjoying fresh air outside their gate, along with other Android devices, making them write down their passcodes.
While I was in the car with the other two men, after a while, they returned and tried to drive out of the street. They didn’t know the way, so they were calling a member for directions while removing all my valuables and still asking for my phone. They threatened to kill me if I didn’t produce it. I suggested they call my number, which I gave them. One of them dialed it, but someone answered who was not their gang member. They hung up angrily, insisting it wasn’t one of theirs. I guessed it was my kid bro who picked up the call, but I told them it was their gang member and I don’t recognize the voice.

The recent call on X (formerly Twitter) for a protest under the hashtag #IgboMustGo, demanding the forced relocation of Igbo people from Lagos and other Southwest states, is deeply troubling and fundamentally opposed to the principles of unity and coexistence that define our nation. Such rhetoric is not only divisive but also endangers our peace and security, as our Constitution guarantees every Nigerian the right to live and work freely anywhere in the country.
History has shown us the consequences of allowing hatred and bigotry to fester, as seen in Rwanda. What began with inflammatory rhetoric led to devastating outcomes. We must learn from these lessons and act decisively.
I call on the Nigerian government and relevant authorities to take immediate and strong action against those inciting such hatred and division. It is imperative to investigate, arrest, and prosecute individuals promoting ethnic discrimination and violence. The rule of law must prevail, and those found guilty of incitement should face the full extent of legal consequences.
Nigeria's strength lies in its diversity, and we must resist any efforts to sow discord among our people. Lagos and the Southwest have long been melting pots of cultures where individuals from various backgrounds contribute to our collective growth and development. The Igbo community, along with all other ethnic groups, is an integral part of this vibrant mosaic.
I urge all Nigerians to stand united against this divisive rhetoric and to champion unity, tolerance, and understanding. Our future depends on our ability to live and work together harmoniously. The government and security agencies must act swiftly to protect this fundamental principle and ensure that every Nigerian can live free from fear of discrimination or persecution.
It is alarming that, five days after this threat emerged, there has been a troubling silence. Immediate action to arrest, investigate, and prosecute those behind this heinous agenda is crucial. This will serve as a deterrent to others who might consider pursuing similar paths that threaten our national security. -AA
