They’re also complaining about her makeup. Mind you, she clearly has makeup on, but because it’s not full glam, they’re losing their minds.
You people are under spells
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie built wealth with her mind. Sara Blakely built a billion dollar company from an idea. Whitney Wolfe Herd built a global tech platform and took it public. But here you are looking up to prostitutes as role models.
This will shock you.
But I will share the story nonetheless.
I once read an article few years ago that when the TV healings became ubiquitous on Nigerian television and many innocent people were falling prey to religious fraudsters, the Nigerian television authority NTA mandated a strict rule that before any ‘supernatural healing’ is broadcasted, there must be an objective, hospital-verified evidence of the illness and cure before and after the purported healing. You had to show hospital evidence that the person was sick before prayers and hospital evidence that the person had been cured after prayers before it can be broadcasted on the NTA. This was to rule out actors, impostors and fraudsters from deceiving people.
Suddenly almost no church/pastor could meet the NTA requirement and they simply started showing their “healings” on their privatised channels where they completely control what they show and nobody verifies what they claim.
It was saddening but interesting at the same time.
This is now like a normal thing in the South East, especially in Onitsha and Aba. I have constantly called for the govt to take decisive action against these people doing this wickedness, but do you know what? It’s my people, some Igbos, whom this thing is affecting the most, that will be under my comments and quotes attacking me.
I remember when Doc @OgbeniDipo started #SayNoToFakeDrugs, I joined my voice in support and explained what we are going through here. A lot of idiots who have never come home started with their insults and name-calling, as if speaking the truth is now a crime.
So using cartons to print fake TVs is very, very minimal compared to what we are seeing here. If you buy a TV and it’s not working, at least it doesn’t affect your health, it’s only your money.
Let me even tell you, there is no product of any kind in the market today that does not have a fake version as I speak to you. Drugs, drinks, engine oil, spare parts, and even BABY FOOD..
I’m NOT afraid to say this, some of my Igbo brothers and sisters are very greedy and wicked, (a lot of them). They don’t care if this thing will harm others, it’s all about quick money.
Make the damn money, build a four-storey building, buy big cars, and pose for pictures. That’s all they care about. Until we stop defending nonsense because of tribe and start calling out evil for what it is, this madness will not stop, but for now, let's continue!!
What struck me about this video of “fake virginity blood” being sold in Northern Nigeria is not the product itself, but the moral education that makes such a product necessary.
Deception does not appear out of nowhere. It is learned. And as bell hooks reminds us, patriarchy is one of the most effective schools of deception we have. When a society places impossible and one-sided moral demands on women, while demanding almost nothing from men, it does not produce virtue. It produces performance.
Virginity here is not really about sex. It is about proof. About a woman’s body being turned into evidence. The hymen becomes a certificate of value. Blood becomes currency. Honour becomes something that must be staged convincingly enough to satisfy male judgment.
Growing up in Northern Nigeria, many of us heard the stories in whispers. Rumours about the lengths people went to preserve the myth of virginity. Women avoiding vaginal penetration entirely. Anal sex used as a workaround, so that on the wedding night the illusion could be completed. Blood shown. Husband reassured. Honour “intact.” Everyone colluding in a lie that everyone knows is a lie.
This is not moral decay. It is moral absolutism doing what it always does. It teaches people how to deceive in order to survive.
bell hooks writes that patriarchy teaches men and women to lie in different ways. Men learn to lie about vulnerability. They are trained to suppress fear, tenderness, emotional need, because honesty would cost them power or status. Women, on the other hand, learn to lie to stay safe. They learn that telling the truth about their bodies, desires, or histories can bring punishment, abandonment, or violence.
So women learn concealment. Performance. Strategic silence.
Seen this way, fake virginity blood is not shocking. It is logical. It is a market solution to a moral contradiction. If a woman’s worth is reduced to an anatomical fiction, she will find a way to manufacture that fiction.
And we must ask the obvious question: where is the demand for virginity from men? Where is the obsession with their bodies as proof of moral worth? Where are the rituals, the products, the inspections? Men are assumed whole by default. Women must prove themselves worthy.
The tragedy is not that women deceive. The tragedy is that honesty is made dangerous for them. A society that truly cared about morality would start with symmetry. It would care less about blood on bedsheets and more about kindness, responsibility, and mutual respect.
Until then, deception will continue to flourish. Not because women are immoral, but because patriarchy demands purity while rewarding power. And whenever purity is demanded without justice, lies will follow.
A father acknowledged his son for the first time and everyone is jumping and congratulating the son and his mother
As if the father is doing the boy and his mother a favor 😭
This shit is paining me to the bone Wallahi 😭😭😭
This is really a reflection of how badly Nigeria has failed its own people.
Back home, many survive through menial jobs and hardship created by a broken system. So when people travel abroad, they suddenly realise they can’t afford the “conveniences” they had in Nigeria, conveniences built on the poverty of other Nigerians doing their dishes, washing clothes, and working like slaves just to survive.
The truth is, life abroad isn’t unusually tough, Nigeria just never allowed the average person to live with real dignity.
No One Warns Immigrants About the Silence
When people move to the UK, everyone says, “You’ll be fine.”
But no one warns you about the silence.
The kind that fills your chest when you come home from a 12-hour shift …too tired to cook, too broke to order food …and the walls don’t answer when you talk.
Back home, in Africa, there was always noise …neighbours arguing, radios playing, kids laughing outside, boda guys shouting across the road.
Here, even the air feels like it’s watching you quietly.
At first, you think you’re strong.
You smile through the cold, through the confused looks when you don’t catch the accent, through the “where are you really from?” that hides behind polite smiles.
But it’s the small things that wear you down.
Having to repeat your name until it doesn’t sound like you anymore.
Being called “love” but never truly seen.
Hearing your qualifications don’t count because they’re “not UK standard.”
You start from scratch. Again.
Washing dishes. Cleaning houses. Sending money home like it doesn’t ache.
Telling your family you’re fine, even when you cry at the bus stop because your card declined.
Still… there are moments.
Catching the eye of another African on the bus and sharing a silent smile.
Hearing an Afrobeats song in a corner shop and feeling your heart breathe again.
Cooking familiar food in a cold kitchen and, for a moment, it smells like home.
And slowly, life rebuilds itself.
Not the way you imagined, but piece by piece ….quietly, stubbornly, beautifully.
Because being an immigrant isn’t just about survival.
It’s about learning to belong in a place that never expected you to stay… and still daring to call it home.
The fact that powerful nations like the U.S. are increasingly critical of Nigeria should tell you something; we’re finally charting an independent course. They don’t target irrelevant nations; they pressure countries whose rising influence threatens established interests.
Nigeria’s insecurity challenge has deep local roots but also external funding links; from the illicit arms trade to foreign-backed NGOs exploiting internal tensions. Even intelligence around the recent failed coup attempt pointed to external leanings. Yet, when over 48,000 Americans died from gun violence in 2023, or when a U.S. political figure was assassinated in broad daylight, the world didn’t call for “international intervention.”
Our security challenges are not religious; they’re strategic and economic. Nigeria must stop being a puppet to foreign narratives. We are a sovereign nation, and defending our independence; politically, economically, and militarily is not defiance; it’s dignity.
Repost this if you’re a Nigerian Muslim and you distance yourself from the terrorists and bandits bedevilling our country, repost if you condemn their atrocities and believe it to be un-Islamic and barbaric.
I want to check something, or even prove a point.
