i knew Nigerian banks were unserious when my friend tried to ghost his parents…
his dad just walked into the bank and asked for his statement
they printed everything for him.
from food, hotel reservations to sportybet 😭😭
Oh wow, the waste collected from mandatory environmental sanitation yesterday and dumped on the road waiting for LAWMA to come pick up has been scattered by rain over night and washed right back onto the road and into the gutters. Look at that, efficiency! 😂🤦🏽♂️
I saw a comment on TikTok where a lady said her 2year old niece was so active, she doesn’t sit down for even 2 seconds… her mum had to take her to the hospital to ask if toddlers run mad at that age 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I once handled a matter pro bono, without charging the client a single kobo.
The case was strong and straightforward.
During proceedings, the Defendant engaged a highly paid, self-assured lawyer who attempted to override the existing strategy and insert himself as the lead counsel.
According to the defendant, I was “too simple” and did not demand money in the manner of other lawyers, which raised doubts in his mind about my competence and capacity to handle the matter.
Regrettably, events took an unfortunate turn. HE WAS CONVICTED.
The new counsel, despite being generously compensated, disregarded the solid strategy already in place (which I had suggested and was working with), and instead pursued an approach that virtually every other lawyer who had reviewed the matter had suggested to him.
I knew from the word go, that that strategy they had adopted would fail.
Last week, I visited the defendant at the Correctional Centre as a courtesy call, primarily so he could have the opportunity to reflect on the consequences of his foolishness.
Nigerians please we need justice for Elozino Joshualia Ogege. My secondary school friend. She wasn’t just a classmate, she was my friend we sat together in school. She was a decent girl. Elo was not wayward.
They killed her Nigerians. They plucked her eyes while she was alive, breast and heart before she died.
She was a brilliant student, a first-class student from 100 level to 300 level at Delta State University Delsu.
She only went to look for a house to rent Nigerians😭
She told a security man working in DELSU, Onoriode (Onos), who had access to the school environment that she was looking for a house, he then told her he would help her get accommodation. That was how he lured her. Delsu claimed they are contract staff from a security company. Guess what? This security man is an Ex-convict.
He did not act alone.
He worked with other Yahoo boys including Desmond and their gang and with the help of a security supervisor identified as Nwosisi Benedict Uche. The mastermind was a Yahoo boy who came from Ghana, and got those Yahoo boys to look for a girl for ritual for him. He had 2 houses already in Abraka. Elo was not their first victim.
They planned it.
They waited for her inside the school environment, campus 3, overpowered her by putting something on her face and took her away.
They drove her out of Abraka into a bush.
According to their own confession, Elozino was crying and begging them to let her go even after they took her eyes alive she was still begging them. 😭
But they did not stop.
They killed her and removed parts of her body for ritual purposes to use for what they call “Yahoo Plus” money rituals.
They took those parts to a native doctor identified as Ojokojo Robinson Obajero, who they believed would perform money rituals for them.
The police tracked her phone and arrested them after the family reported she was missing because they couldn't reach her.
The Delta State Police PRO, DSP Andrew Aniamaka, confirmed that the suspects confessed and that the crime started as a missing person case before turning into a murder investigation.
Even the Commissioner of Police at the time, Muhammad Mustafa, confirmed arrests and said they were ritual killers.
One of the masterminds even died while trying to escape arrest.
But since 2018… what has happened? Elon have had no justice since 2018.
The case has been in court. Adjournment after adjournment.
Delay after delay. Years have passed. No clear justice. Are they bringing the judge?
My friend left her house to look for accommodation and never came back.
She trusted the wrong person a security man inside her own school. Delsu refused to show concern for their negligence. How can you employ an Ex-convict? Why would a security company employ an Ex-convict?
Elo is gone we know but we want justice. And till today, it feels like justice is still being delayed.
Nigerians, how long will this continue? How long will young girls keep dying like this? How long will cases like this be forgotten?
Please speak up. Please don’t let this case die. Please people I'm begging y'all to help us speak. They already confessed to doing it. They should have been sentenced to death already. All the people involved.
Help us cry for justice @Hybrid_Ola@_meera__abdul@AdageorgeA@oku_yungx@Austeiin@lilyally98@instablog9ja
This is the news on BBC. It's everywhere on the Internet too

How do people renew their Airtel ODU subscription?? Every month it's a battle in my household
Now I've been told the number's been churned.. @AirtelNigeria what's all this ??
@MimieLaushi I am often amazed at how many people discount the sheer grace of God in their careers. How many people that think that all of their achievements have come about as a result of their own brilliance or hard work. How many people are sadly mistaken. Sigh.
History has a way of repeating itself. This story reminds me of Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqqas. He was one of the ten companions that was promised Paradise. But there was this man in Kufa named Abu Sa'dah who stood up in a public gathering and lied against him. He completely assassinated Sa'd's character, telling everyone he was an unjust leader who didn't march with the army and didn't divide wealth fairly.
Sa'd did not let this go. As you know the pain of a ruined reputation is a very big thing. He raised his hands and made a terrifying supplication. He said, O Allah, if this servant of Yours is a liar, and stood up for showing off, then prolong his life, prolong his poverty, and expose him to trials.
Years later, people would see that same man wandering the streets of Kufa. He was terribly old, his eyebrows falling over his eyes, living in severe poverty, and bothering women in the streets. When people asked him what went wrong with his life, the old man would just say... I am an old man, afflicted by the curse of Sa'd.
What does this story have to do with this Yoruba woman? The fact that Islam is a practical religion. It aligns with human nature and the raw reality of our emotions. When someone strips you of your dignity, the religion does not force you to smile and suppress your pain. It recognizes that betrayal hurts... and it gives you a legitimate outlet.
This brings me to the verse in Surah An-Nisa where Allah validates this human experience:
لَّا يُحِبُّ اللَّهُ الْجَهْرَ بِالسُّوءِ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ إِلَّا مَن ظُلِمَ ۚ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ سَمِيعًا عَلِيمًا
"Allah does not like the public mention of evil except by one who has been wronged. And Allah is ever Hearing and Knowing." (Quran 4:148)
When you connect the dots, Imagine what she would have had to bear for her to come to such a sacred place to do that. People spend their entire life savings to get there to beg for Jannah and for peace. She bypassed all of that. The betrayal was so suffocating that she stood in front of the House of Allah just to seek justice for her name.
And what she did as far as I know is valid. Imam Al-Qurtubi, when explaining the verse above, stated clearly that the oppressed person has the right to pray against their oppressor. You are allowed to ask Allah for a justice that matches the injustice done to you.
Even though Haram is a sanctuary of peace, however, it is also the highest courtroom of the Master of the Worlds. Taking your case there only amplifies the weight of your request.
Having said this, scholars do remind us that taking the higher road and choosing to forgive elevates your rank in ways we cannot comprehend. But if the pain is too much and a person cannot let it go just like the woman in question, then asking for strict justice is their God-given right. No one can force them to forgive.
We type things online, we forward voice notes, we spread rumors... and then we go to sleep. Meanwhile, the person we lied about is awake at 3 AM, or standing right in front of the Kaaba, handing our name over to Allah.
Ali Bn Abi Talib said:
لا تَظلِمَنَّ إِذا ما كُنتَ مُقتَدِراً
فَالظُلمُ مَرتَعُهُ يُفضي إِلى النَدَمِ
تَنامُ عَينُكَ وَالمَظلومُ مُنتَبِهٌ
يَدعو عَلَيكَ وَعَينُ اللَهِ لَم تَنَمِ
“Do not oppress when you are capable.
Because the pasture of oppression leads to regret.
Your eye sleeps and the oppressed is awake.
Praying against you, and the eye of Allah has not slept.”
May Allah protect our tongues and keep us far from being the source of someone's tears.
You see the new age alaga iduro and ijoko we have now? Something is really worrying them. Any rubbish to get viral content and more followers, they’ll add it to the ceremony. If it’s not “say bye bye to your daddy forever,” it’s “return your surname,” or “my bride married as a virgin at 36 year old.” Cringe things on top the 6/7 figures plus luxurious hotel rooms that many of them charge. If you’re getting married soon, just prepare to write a long list of rules and drop strict warning.
