"While the Ekweremadus maintain that Sonia had no knowledge of the plan to illegally get a kidney donor, she responded to her father’s WhatsApp messages that had photos of new potential donors. To one photo of two young Black men, Sonia wrote: “OK, that’s fine. Thank you. Are they still more to test?”
Her father told her: “Yes, but by the end of the week, I will decide who to proceed with. We will get it right this time.”
Sonia wrote back: “I trust you, daddy, thank you ❤️”. Then she added: “The dark one looks better, the light one looks like he’ll run away 😂😂😂”.

That's how your rich people and their children talk about you.
Heartbreaking video showing a father begging Nigerians to help save his daughter after she underwent surgery. Due to a lack of funds for her continued treatment, her condition has worsened, and her stomach has become severely swollen. Please share this video 😭
Bishop Kukah criticised Buhari for 8 years while Father Mbaka was a loud APC supporter. Father Alia joined the APC and became governor of Benue State. In all of this, nobody said anything about the Catholic Church until Tinubu got on the throne. Is Tinubu the God of South West?
16 Villages Sacked by Fulani Herdsmen in Enugu State
We have reached a point where the media are warned not to report the atrocities of Fulani terrorist criminals.
This happened in 4 years of Peter Mbah and the media is silent on this.
All I can say is that Igbos should be vigilant and ready to strike accordingly because we cannot let Fulani do this rubbish in Igbo land and go free.

US-Based Nigerian Man Temmy Okanlomo Reportedly Orders His Community People To Kill Any Igbo Person That Owns A House In Yorubaland https://t.co/21r5oP90D8
Two months ago, someone confessed he witnessed the murder of Dadiyata.
The police performed their usual drama with a promise to do the needful. Till today nothing has been done. It's gradually being swept under the carpet. Nigerians should ask questions.
Who killed Dadiyata?
Help the Christians in Nigeria establish a state and an army. Do not turn your back on them. History teaches that if the Christians of Nigeria do not get help from the Christian community around the world, their long term fate will be the same as the fate of the Christians in Algeria, Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Egypt, and more.
This is appalling on many levels.
The corrupt officer is also a tribalist and a deep stain on the Nigerian police force.
Even after being informed he was being recorded, he and other officers persisted in criminality.
This corrupt tribalist has no business remaining an armed officer of the state.
Everywhere is silent while bandits massacre 23 farmers in Sauna/Ruwan Gora community, Talata Mafara Local Government Area of Zamfara State. More than 50 people have been hospitalized, the majority of them women and children.
This attack happened in a village near the hometown of Nigeria’s Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle. The Northwest is gradually becoming a graveyard, yet the suffering of its people continues to receive little attention.
Nigeria is a joke
Press Release From the Office of the Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives
July 22, 2026
Clarification on Report of N1bn in 2026 Budget for Musical Instruments in Bende Churches
...Over 130 churches to receive N5m to 6m each as support
The attention of the Office of the Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives and member representating Bende Federal Constituency of Abia State, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu, PhD, CFR has been drawn to media reports suggesting that N1 billion was inserted in the 2026 budget solely for the procurement of musical instruments for churches in Bende.
We wish to clarify that this is a misrepresentation of the intent and scope of the provision.
The proposed allocation is actually N780 million after VAT and other tax deductions.
It is earmarked as a Youth Re-orientation and Social Support Programmes delivered evangelistically through faith-based organizations in Bende federal constituency of Abia State. Bende has 13 federal political/electoral wards and over 200 churches. The first phase of this support targets 130 of these churches averaging about 10 churches per ward, which amounts to approximately 5 to 6 million Naira per church. It is designed to equip churches to expand existing youth engagement platforms focused on character reform, and to deliver more impactful community outreaches.
The funds are intended to support the purchase of evangelical instruments and public address systems to promote campaigns against vices like the spread of narcotics, sexual offences, violent crimes while instilling discipline, values, peace, and character development among young people in the communities.
Nation-building must go beyond roads and physical infrastructure. Government must also invest in building the character and value system of the people who use the infrastructure using various value delivery platforms. Government is also employing non-kinetic approaches to promote peace, unity and progress of Nigeria.
It should also be noted that traditional institutions are actively playing their part in value formation. This is precisely why government, through its representatives, has consistently supported them with town halls and other community engagement centers to serve as hubs for the preservation and sustenance of the cultural values.
This emphasizes that faith-based organizations have a critical role to play in sustaining good norms and values in the society.
This development is not entirely new or strange. Faith based organizations in other parts of the country invest in youth development but it is a strategy that has not gained currency in the South East region. The provision therefore, seeks to adopt, strengthen and support the effort in Bende federal constituency, using the church platforms.
For the avoidance of doubt, the 2026 budget where this is domiciled is yet to be implemented. The selected churches will receive notification once the procurement processes have been concluded.
At the moment, the country is still operating on the 2024 and 2025 budgets. The 2026 budget is yet to be funded. It is yet to receive releases, which must take place before the commencement of procurement.
Similarly, we have also identified a technical error in the procurement description. A letter of corrigendum to this effect has been initiated for the needed correction by the budget office through the appropriation committee before implementation.
This intervention is not about instruments alone. It is about leveraging trusted community values sustaining structures to reorient our youths, promote unity, and sustain moral instruction across the constituency
We urge the media and the public to disregard sensational reports and to support efforts aimed at building both infrastructure and character in our society.
Levinus Nwabughiogu, Chief Press Secretary to the Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Federal Republic of Nigeria
