My husband quit his job and stayed home for 3 months. It wasn't like he was lounging around doing nothing—he was cooking, cleaning, and taking our daughter to daycare. My mom calls every week: "When's he going to get a job?" And his mom says: "Men have to work." And my friend says: "Aren't you worried he'll get used to sitting around?"
And I'm silent.
Because during these three months, our daughter said "dada" for the first time before she ever said "cartoon." And for the first time in 7 years, he slept without sleeping pills.
Everyone around me sees a man without a job. And I see a family, for the first time, sitting together and truly living..
I watched with disappointment the recent interview granted by Senator Ali Modu Sheriff to Channels Television on Monday.
After a prolonged absence from public discourse, one would have expected that time away might have sharpened Senator Sheriff’s judgment. Regrettably, that does not appear to be the case.
In the interview, the former governor claimed that Peter Obi cannot command sizeable support in Northern Nigeria. It is curious that he has appointed himself spokesperson for the Northern masses. For the record, in his first outing on the presidential ballot, Mr. Obi secured approximately 2.8 million votes in the region — a remarkable achievement that cannot be dismissed lightly.
Given the current national hardships, the widespread consensus on the failure of the APC administration, and the addition of a strong Northern figure to the ticket who previously garnered 1.45 million votes in the region, the OK ticket remains a formidable force in Northern politics.
Even more surprising was Senator Sheriff’s assertion that the people of Kano would not vote for Mr. Obi. Let me state clearly: the good people of Kano are neither bigoted nor xenophobic. They have consistently demonstrated strong trust in the Kwankwasiyya movement and will support any credible ticket presented under its banner.
I respectfully advise Senator Sheriff that, in future national television appearances, he would do better to speak to the serious insecurity and humanitarian challenges facing his home state, rather than making divisive and poorly considered remarks.
The OK ticket currently represents the best opportunity for Nigerians to reset the country and place it on a path of competence, unity, and progress. - RMK

@instablog9ja This terrorist apologist shouldnt be walking freely, let alone being given a platform by channels. @seunokin You are an evil midget who encourages this evil and yes , I'm a trained journalist who knows how a neutral jounalist would carry themselves.
I just got married to an amazing Igbo man and I hope when our children grow up, people like you won't exist anymore. Or would have changed their ways. You're disgusting.
Growing up, I believed elders were naturally wiser, more honest, and more responsible.
What I’m seeing in Nigeria today has taught me that age and wisdom are not the same thing.
Character, integrity, and competence do not come with grey hair. They come from values.
WEEKLY CRIME DIARY
PRACTICAL WAYS TO AVOID BEING KIDNAPPED
1. SITUATIONAL AWARENESS – YOUR FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE
Many crimes, including kidnapping, robbery, and assault, succeed because victims are caught off guard. Criminals often look for people who are distracted, isolated, or unaware of what is happening around them.
What Criminals Look For:
• People walking while focused on their phones
• Drivers distracted by calls or messages
• Individuals moving alone in deserted areas
• Persons who ignore suspicious activities around them
Real-Life Scenario:
A businessman stopped by the roadside to answer a phone call. While distracted, unknown individuals approached, pretending to ask for directions. Within minutes, he was forced into a waiting vehicle and taken away.
Prevention Tips:
• Avoid using your phone while walking in public places.
• Stay alert when entering or leaving your home, office, or vehicle.
• Be extra vigilant in isolated areas, especially at night.
• Observe people and vehicles around you.
• If you notice someone following you, move to a crowded place immediately.
• Trust your instincts. If a situation feels wrong, leave and seek help.
• Avoid wearing earphones at high volume in public spaces.
Crime Diary Advice:
Awareness is not fear—it is preparedness. The more aware you are of your surroundings, the harder it becomes for criminals to take advantage of you. Your safety begins with paying attention.
