An Indian woman married to an Igbo man has opened up about the challenges she has faced while living with her husband’s people in a village in Imo State.
In a video, the woman said she loves Nigeria but admitted that adjusting to village life has been difficult, particularly because of the lack of clean, drinkable water and proper hygiene facilities.
She also spoke about feeling homesick at times, saying her experience has been different from what she expected before moving to Nigeria.

This was a statement by Senator Fadahunsi now on video. Translation
"From now on, whenever you see Accord members, kill them. I authorise you to kill them. They have wives and children too. This is a Federal Government election. On election day, even if they come with voters card, we wont allow them to vote" - Senator Francis Ade Fadahunsi, Senator representing Osun East Senatorial District in the National Assembly a whole sitting senator !!
Mandate is afraid of Trump, with good reason. He reported GEJ to Obama. Right now, different lobby groups are competing for Trump’s ear.
Mandate is the biggest spender. It’s almost a blank check. He’s desperate for an audience with DJT. He doesn’t want GEJ’s fate to befall him. The omen & the foreboding are strong.
Opposition have not done their homework.
Police officers in Lagos State joined thugs yesterday to attack and brutalize members of the Take It Back Movement during this year’s August 5 Revolution Now protest.
These are the people you will face during the 2027 elections.
You’re preparing to vote, but these criminals are preparing to unleash violence.
Let that sink in for a moment.
Watch this.
Look how honest this gentleman is, taking out all the maize chaff to give correct impression of the maize weight.
Men are not going to see him now, but if it's a woman doing the same, Nigerian men will rush to brush her up with money and change her story.
You measure success by one award. I measure it by sold-out arenas, billions of streams, global influence, and people singing my songs across continents.
You had government backing and still couldn't convince enough people to back you in your small constituency..
You’re a small boy who came into politics by accident..
You spent 8yrs with the ex president and couldn’t make a change in your poverty stricken community..
We all have different trophies Bashir, I’ll keep inspiring the young ones and generations to come while you wait for the next government job to get crumbs.
See why I have no respect for any political party in Nigeria? The same @TheoAbuAgada from PDP is now the media director of @NigeriaNDCHQ. 😂😂
Now I understand the phone call I got last week.
The lady said she could not shoot a skit with Carter Efe because he had only 322 followers. Immediately he heard that, he got angry; meanwhile, he didn’t even know he was on record. 💔😂
Moral lesson: No matter how hard a situation you find yourself in, never give up! Consistency matters a lot.
When a Government Declares War on the Truth
President Donald Trump of America recently described Nigeria as “a now disgraced country.” The painful reality is that Nigeria’s challenges continue to deepen. Each passing day reveals deeper signs of decline, especially when a government becomes increasingly intolerant of truth and hostile to those who speak about the suffering of the people.
The Catholic Church has never functioned as an opposition party in Nigeria. Across military regimes and successive democratic administrations, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) has maintained a principled voice on national issues and the nation’s conscience, commending governments when they deserved commendation and speaking the truth whenever national conscience demanded it. Its interventions are driven by a moral obligation, rooted in Christian social teaching, to defend truth, justice, and the common good.
The same applies to Nigeria’s major religious organisations. Bodies such as Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI), the Supreme Council for Shari’ah in Nigeria (SCSN), the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), and the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) have repeatedly raised concerns over economic hardship, inflation, and insecurity. Living among the people, religious leaders often encounter the suffering of citizens firsthand. They speak because they witness families struggling with rising food prices, unemployment, and the fear created by kidnappings and insecurity.
As leaders, we should be gracious enough to listen to people and organisations that speak the truth to us and genuinely criticise us when things are not going in the right direction. As Governor, I had the opportunity of working with a very strong Council of Traditional Rulers, led by the Obi of Onitsha, and religious bodies that consistently criticised me and offered suggestions. This contributed greatly to our success in Anambra State, especially in critical areas like education and health.
Against this background, the attacks on the CBCN, and especially on His Eminence, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, are deeply troubling. Even in 1998, when Pope John Paul II visited Nigeria and told General Abacha some hard truths, including about the incarceration of Chief Moshood Abiola, nobody vilified him.
During the inauguration of Pope Leo XIV in Rome, to demonstrate his purported commitment to and respect for the Catholic Church, President Bola Tinubu arrived in Rome days before the event, ahead of most other visiting dignitaries, including Catholics such as the U.S. Vice President, JD Vance. He participated in the liturgy, queued with other world leaders to greet the Holy Father, and displayed deep respect for the moral authority of the Church. Back in Nigeria, however, that posture has now changed completely.
What is playing out today also reveals how political leaders sometimes exploit religion and ethnicity to divide the people. Even when it was obvious that the CBCN was speaking on issues affecting Nigerians across religious and ethnic boundaries, aides to the President immediately reduced it to a “religious affair.” The question is: are insecurity, poverty, inflation, unemployment, and hardship problems exclusive to a particular faith? Do these challenges recognise religious or tribal boundaries?
The bishops merely expressed what millions of Nigerians experience daily: insecurity has worsened, poverty is deepening, inflation is crippling families, businesses are struggling, and hope is fading. These are realities echoed by religious leaders across the country, to whom successive governments gave thanks and promised to look into their observations.
Rather than address these concerns or explain the measures in place to ameliorate them, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s aides and supporters responded with vicious attacks, particularly against Cardinal John Onaiyekan, with little regard for his age, stature, and accomplishments.
Good evening, my X family.
One of my drivers urgently needs your help.
While returning to Lagos, a
@FRSCNigeria vehicle reportedly hit his truck from behind. After the accident, the officers allegedly asked him to follow them to their office. On getting there, he was arrested, his phone was seized, and the video evidence of the incident was deleted.
What they didn't know was that the driver had already forwarded the video to his his boss the owner of the truck because he knew his rights.
Please help me repost this until it reaches the appropriate authorities. We are only asking for a fair and transparent investigation.
Thank you for your support.
