Travellers erupt in applause as Nigerian soldiers return from mission

[Nigeria Stories @NigeriaStories]

Wow 🤩
Nigerian Soldiers coming back from a mission recieved applause and a standing ovation from Nigerians inside the airport, thanking them for their service

[KAA @KAA_Truths]

Felt so proud and happy watching this. I was at the airport when this soldiers who are probably returning from a mission were celebrated and clapped for by all of us at the airport. More of this please. These soldiers deserves more encouragement. Salute to every soldier out there making sure we still have a country. You guys are the real heroes of this country.

On this day last week, armed “Fulani” militants launched coordinated attacks on two Christian villages south of Jos, the Plateau State capital, while church services were underway.

The first attack happened around 9:00 a.m. local time in the Fann area of Barkin Ladi LGA. A young man was ambushed and killed on his way to church.

Residents mobilized and managed to push the attackers back, preventing further casualties in Fann. The gunmen retreated toward the border between Mangu and Barkin Ladi LGAs, firing sporadically as they advanced toward Jakatai village.

Despite multiple distress calls, soldiers stationed about three miles away did not respond. Civilian guards mobilized again to defend Jakatai.

It was only then that soldiers arrived.

According to eyewitnesses, automatic gunfire from the retreating terrorists could still be clearly heard as they disappeared into the forest. The soldiers ignored the attackers and instead opened fire on the civilian defenders, who were armed only with locally made pipe guns, killing one defender instantly.

Soldiers then photographed the victim’s body, transported it to a local hospital and dumped it there along with his weapon and cell phone. Photos of the body were later circulated online with claims that he was a militant who had fired on troops.

No evidence has been provided to support that claim. The decision to abandon the body, weapon, and phone at a hospital — rather than preserve them as intelligence — has been cited by locals as undermining the army’s account.

The reason why ADELEKE triumphed is that voters came out 43% percent is better than the recent voter turnout

If at least 60m people come out in 2027 the elections will be too big to rig

Nigerians must come out

[The Biblical Man @Biblicalman]

Joseph of Arimathea pulled a corpse off a cross with his bare hands.

Blood under his fingernails. The weight of a dead man sagging into his arms.

He wrapped God in linen, pressed the fabric into wounds that were still wet.

Nicodemus brought seventy-five pounds of burial spice. A king's funeral for a man the world just murdered.

They carried Him into a hole in the rock and rolled the stone shut.

And everything you've ever done went in with Him.
Every night you can't sleep because of what you did. Every morning, you can't look in the mirror. The thing you did to her. The thing you did to them. The
lie you've been carrying so long it feels like bone.

The version of you that drinks alone and pretends tomorrow will be different.

That man was buried with Christ.

Stone sealed. Done.
Not managed. Not in therapy. Not on a payment plan with God where you slowly earn your way back. Buried. In a tomb. Under rock. Gone.
Three days of silence. Three days of a cold body in the dark.

Then the stone moved.
And when He walked out, the grave clothes were folded on the slab. He didn't stumble out tangled in death. He left it sitting there like a man who's done
with the clothes he used to wear.
Lazarus needed someone to unwrap him. Death still clung to him even after he was breathing.
Jesus folded His own burial linen and walked out clean.

That's the difference between religion and resurrection. Religion unwraps you slowly. Asks you to manage your sin. Attend the class. Read the book. Try harder next week.
Resurrection says the man who walked into that tomb is dead. The man who walked out doesn't know him.
You're not fixing the old you. The old you is in a sealed tomb in Jerusalem, and he's not coming back.
The man reading this, the one who thinks he's too far gone, you're not too far. You're already buried. The funeral happened two thousand years
ago.
Now get up. The stone's already moved. The linen's already folded.

Walk out.

[Crazy Vibes @CrazyVibes_1]

She graduated from Princeton in 1992, and one of her professors — a woman who would go on to win the Nobel Prize in Literature — said she was one of the finest creative writing students she had ever taught.

Her professor's name was Toni Morrison. And the young woman she praised was about to disappear, almost entirely, into someone else's story...

Her name then was MacKenzie Tuttle, and the world would come to know her as MacKenzie Scott.

What almost no one realized, watching this poised young Princeton graduate, was how close she had come to never finishing at all. Her family had filed for bankruptcy during her final year of boarding school. At Princeton, on scholarship, she struggled constantly to pay her way, waiting tables to cover her costs. In her sophomore year, broke and in tears and on the verge of dropping out, she was saved by a roommate who found her crying and pressed a thousand dollars into her hands. And once, when she couldn't afford to fix a broken tooth and had been holding it together with denture glue, a local dentist did the work for free, asking nothing in return.

She never forgot either of them. Remember that — it matters later.

After graduation, with her gift for words and a good head for numbers, she took a practical job at a hedge fund in New York to earn a living. And there she met a man named Jeff Bezos, who had a strange idea about selling books over the internet.

She didn't dismiss it.

They married in 1993. And in 1994, they packed their belongings into a car and drove across the country to the Seattle area, chasing that idea. They rented a house with a garage. They set up computers. There was no big budget, no team, no guarantee that a single stranger would ever buy a single book.

MacKenzie did the accounting. She wrote up business plans and contracts. She answered customer phone calls. She packed boxes for shipping.

The company was called Amazon. Its first full year of sales came to about five hundred and eleven thousand dollars. And she was there for every bit of it, from the empty garage onward.

But as Amazon exploded into a giant, MacKenzie stepped back from it. She and Jeff had four children, and she turned her focus to raising them — and to the dream she'd held since Toni Morrison's classroom, of being a writer. In 2005 she published her first novel, and it won an American Book Award. Morrison herself praised it as "a rarity: a sophisticated novel that breaks and swells the heart." MacKenzie published a second novel in 2013. She taught writing. She lived, by choice, out of the spotlight.

And so, for the better part of two decades, the story of Amazon was told without her in it.

Jeff Bezos became one of the most famous men alive. The garage became the stuff of business legend. And in that legend, MacKenzie appeared only rarely and briefly — a wife mentioned in passing, tucked into the corner of someone else's triumph. She never once stepped forward to correct it, or to claim more of the credit than she was given. She let it be.

Then, in 2019, everything changed.

That January, she and Jeff Bezos announced their divorce. When the settlement was finalized, MacKenzie walked away with roughly four percent of Amazon's stock — a fortune worth somewhere around thirty-six to thirty-eight billion dollars. Overnight, at forty-eight years old, she became one of the richest women on the planet.

And what she chose to do next is the real reason you should know her name.

Within months, she signed the Giving Pledge, publicly promising to give away the majority of her enormous wealth within her own lifetime. But it was the way she gave it that stunned the entire world of philanthropy.

There were no lengthy application forms. No demands for progress reports. No strings attached, no conditions, no control. No grand foundation bearing her name, no press releases trumpeting her generosity. Instead, she assembled a small, low-profile team whose job was to seek out organizations doing serious, unglamorous good in overlooked communities — and then call them up and give them money.

The phone calls became the stuff of legend in their own right. So many recipients assumed it had to be a scam. Some asked the caller to repeat the dollar figure, certain they'd misheard. Others just broke down and wept.

She gave four hundred and thirty-six million dollars to Habitat for Humanity. She handed the largest single gifts in the entire histories of several Historically Black Colleges and Universities. She sent hundreds of millions to food banks, to rural communities, to tribal colleges, to women's health programs — the kinds of quiet, difficult, deeply human causes that flashier donors so often pass over as too small or too complicated to bother with.

In 2025 alone, she gave away more than seven billion dollars, to hundreds of organizations. By many public accounts, that single year of giving outstripped the entire lifetime charitable giving of her famous former husband.

Her total, since 2019, now stands at an astonishing twenty-six point three billion dollars, spread across more than two thousand seven hundred organizations. No buildings carry her name. There is no branded foundation. There are no galas thrown in her honor.

Today, Forbes ranks her as the third most generous living philanthropist in the entire world — behind only Warren Buffett and Bill Gates. She climbed to that place in a mere six years.

She packed the first boxes. She ran the first numbers. She answered the first phone calls. The company that grew out of that little garage is now worth more than two trillion dollars.

The garage still stands. Her name was never on it.

But what she has done with the fortune that came out of it is now a matter of public record — more than twenty-six billion dollars sent out into the world with no fanfare and no strings, in exactly the spirit of a dentist who once fixed a broken tooth for a struggling student who couldn't pay, and a roommate who dried a young woman's tears with a thousand dollars she didn't have to give.

In one of her own essays, MacKenzie Scott described herself as just one small part of a much larger story.

The numbers say otherwise.

Had you heard MacKenzie Scott's story? Tell us below. And here's one for today: has a stranger's quiet act of kindness ever changed the direction of your life — and did you ever get to pass it on?

On 28 April 2026, Mr Oluwafemi Sunday Ogunjobi, a Nigerian professional based in the UK, transferred 320 pounds through the fintech Afriex Inc. to his own GTB savings account. An Afriex system error credited the naira equivalent (N602,067.20) twice. Afriex admitted this in writing on 2 May 2026, when its support agent confirmed on WhatsApp that “there was a system issue” affecting the transaction.
Mr Ogunjobi acted in good faith throughout. He returned the full duplicate amount on 4 May 2026 through a virtual account Afriex provided, and Afriex’s own records confirm it recovered all funds by early May.
Despite this, the Inspector General of Police, acting through the Police Special Fraud Unit (PSFU), filed an ex-parte motion at the Federal High Court, Lagos (Suit No. FHC/LAG/MISC/763/2026, order issued 15 June 2026) directing 15 banks to place a 90-day lien on listed accounts and arrest anyone operating them. Mr Ogunjobi appears as Entry No. 13. Because the order was ex-parte, he had no chance to be heard. Critically, the PSFU letter (4 June) and the court order (15 June) both came AFTER the funds had been returned (4 May). Afriex never told the PSFU, the court, or GTB compliance that the matter was resolved and he was innocent.
Afriex then made three separate written commitments to fix the lien: the 2 May WhatsApp admission of fault, an official email on 28 June 2026 confirming the lien issue was escalated, and a follow-up email on 30 June 2026 promising the restriction would be lifted. It followed through on none of them. GTB itself confirmed in writing on 3 July 2026 that its internal restriction was lifted, meaning the only thing left against him was the court order Afriex failed to remove him from.
On 4 August 2026, Mr Ogunjobi entered the GTB branch in Agbowo, Ibadan and was arrested under that court order, then detained at Sango Police Division. While he was in custody, Afriex’s support bot denied any knowledge of a lien, contradicting its own emails, and its chat system auto-closed on him. Three lawyers intervened to secure his release at 6:50 PM, on condition that he report to the Lagos Anti-Fraud Unit the next morning. That obligation and the court matter (adjourned to 21 October 2026) are still active.
He has also suffered an unexplained deduction of about N50,850 above the agreed disputed amount, periods without access to his own funds, legal and travel costs, reputational damage from a public arrest, and severe emotional distress.

An innocent man was arrested over an erroneous double credit he had already returned three months earlier, entirely because a company that admitted fault in writing three times never corrected the record with the police and the court. Documentary evidence exists for every fact stated here (receipts, bank records, Afriex emails and WhatsApp admissions, GTB clearance letter, PSFU letter, and certified court order) and can be provided to investigators with private details masked.
