Many girls have reportedly been r@p£d and m0l£sted by men in Ozoro during what is being described as a “r@p!ng festival” in the area.
According to multiple reports and videos circulating online, today is said to be the day of this festival in the Ozoro community, and girls are wvrned not to go outside. It is alleged that any girl seen outside could be att@ck£d and r@p£d by groups of men.
Foreigners who are unaware of this situation have reportedly fallen v!ctim as well. There is Delta state university in Ozoro, and many female students may not be fully aware of the d@nger. It is distvrbing that something like this could be tolerated in society. This is heartbreaking, and urgent action needs to be taken.
Told my friends I no longer want to keep streaks mostly based off my theory on the illusion of constant access sometimes reducing quality of friendship.
So far, 4 friends have called me today and I think this is the life I want.
Yesterday, my best friend asked “How do I know what’s going on with you now?”
Me: You ask me and I’ll tell you.
Curious to see how this all plays out btw because I’ve been a streaker for over 3 years.
All this to say, call your friends and actually deeply catch up more often.
Ciao!
One of my greatest regrets in life was letting the teachers in my secondary school convince us that Art class was for dullards and science class for the smartest students. I was excellent at debates, loved words and really wanted to be lawyer but they wouldn’t let me.
They made that choice for me before I understood what it meant. I’m pretty sure this was a moment that altered the trajectory of the lives of so many Nigerian kids.

I always go back to how Margot Robbie and Lupita broke through the same year. In the next 5 years Lupita had one lead and 3 supporting roles where you couldn't see her face. Margot got 5 leads, including one franchise. Lupita had won the Oscar, but Margot hadn't even been nommed.
From waiting five hours to screen an 11-minute film, to the film being shown with poor picture quality and no sound for the first five minutes. It was so disappointing and annoying!
AFRIFF really needs to do better! Or just stop accepting short films altogether.
@AFRIFF was supposed to be Angel in the Stone’s final festival run. We’ve screened at over 20 film festivals (locally and internationally), and none of them ever gave us any issues.
I was really hoping we’d wrap things up on a good note, but AFRIFF had other plans.
TRAGIC DEATH : SOMTOCHUKWU CHRISTELLE MADUAGWU
December 26, 1995 - September 29, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that the management and staff of the ARISE News Channel announce the passing of our beloved colleague, News Anchor, Reporter and Producer, Somtochukwu Christelle Maduagwu. Sommie tragically passed away in the early hours of Monday, September 29, 2025 following an armed robbery incident in her residence in Katampe area of Abuja that is being investigated by the Nigeria Police.
Sommie, 29, was not only a cherished member of the ARISE News family but also a vibrant voice that engaged and connected with our viewers.
Beyond the airwaves, Sommie was a lawyer who was a professional and supportive colleague and a friend to many.
We extend our deepest condolences to Sommie’s parents, siblings, extended family, friends, and loved ones at this difficult time. Sommie’s voice is now silent but her spirit, passion and legacy will endure as part of our collective memory. We remain in shock and call for a speedy investigation, apprehension and prosecution of the culprits.

Not bashing streaks. They are fun and a good way to see friends in real time. My problem is when it becomes the only source of connection. It cannot be. Streaks should be secondary. You still need calls, FaceTime & hanging out. It cannot be the main form of feeling connected.
