One day the @PoliceNG is letting you know "The Police is Your Friend", one week later an experience with them makes you wonder, what the definition of friend is, and you regret every thought of believing them.
Everyday we lose trust in them over again.
WHAT DOES THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TEACH ABOUT PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENT (PRENUP)?
Since the news of the divorce between the Nigerian guy, Ugo and his (ex) wife surfaced on social media - especially the revelation that they had signed a prenuptial agreement before their marriage, many people have been asking about the position of the Catholic Church on prenuptial agreements. Does a prenup invalidate a marriage? Is it contrary to the Church’s understanding of marriage?
First, the Catholic Church does not ‘absolutely’ forbid prenuptial agreements, but she approaches them with significant theological and canonical caution because of the Church’s understanding of marriage.
In Catholic teaching, marriage is not merely a legal contract or financial arrangement; it is a sacred covenant established by God between a man and a woman, ordered toward the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of children. By its nature, Christian marriage is meant to be ‘faithful’, ‘permanent’, and ‘indissoluble’ (Code of Canon Law 1055; Mt 19:6).
For this reason, the Church becomes concerned when a prenuptial agreement reflects an intention contrary to the essential properties of marriage. For example, if a prenup is written in a way that anticipates divorce as an easy or expected outcome, or if one party enters marriage while internally excluding permanence, such an attitude could potentially affect the validity of marital consent itself (cf. Canon 1102). In canon law, consent is central to marriage. One cannot validly marry while simultaneously rejecting what marriage truly is.
However, not every prenuptial agreement is canonically problematic. Some agreements may be legitimate when they are intended for prudent financial clarity, protection of family inheritances, care for children from previous marriages, management of debts, or protection of businesses and family responsibilities. In such cases, the agreement is not necessarily a rejection of marriage, an escape hatch, or an exit plan (and it must be clearly stated), but a practical legal arrangement.
Therefore, when it comes to a prenup, the crucial question is the spirit and intention that stand behind it. If the agreement flows from distrust, conditional commitment, or an openness to divorce, it raises serious moral and canonical concerns. But if it is made with justice, prudence, transparency, and without undermining the permanence and sacredness of marriage, it may be tolerated.
A wise Catholic approach is for Catholic couples considering a prenuptial agreement to discuss the matter honestly with a competent authority, their parish priest or a canon lawyer before marriage. The Church’s concern is always to safeguard the dignity, unity, permanence, and sacramental nature of Christian marriage.

1. Dear Christians from other denominations. We respect your faith and your beliefs, and we hope you can keep them and continue to grow in the love of God.
2. Please, the Catholic church has her rules. Whenever you go to a Catholic church, kindly do not receive communion. If you were once a Catholic and you digressed a bit, whenever you attend mass, do not go to receive communion. The latter should go for confession first. Same with Anglicans.
3. You cannot go to a golfclub situated in your village and begin to play in there because it is in your village. You will be kicked out. As a student, you cannot go another school and demand to receive classes and other benefits.
4. Despite the fact that I am a priest of the Catholic Church, in my house, there is a particular chair my dad always sits on. I never sit on it. This is the respect I owe my father.
5. We acknowledge the fact that you live a life of holiness and deep love for Jesus, and that you walk by faith and not by sight, and that you are a child of God, and God is your father. Please do not come out to receive communion. It is against the Catholic laws. Please. Respect yourself and save your soul. God cannot be mocked.
6. Kindly stay back at your seats and pray. We are all Christians but we are not under the same authority. We do not tell you what you do in your church, so do not impose your style on us. If you allow anybody and everybody to receive your communion, good for you. We do not allow that. Respect yourself, God cannot be mocked.
7. In the Catholic church, before one receives the communion, you must be baptised and you must go for catechism class and graduate before you receive communion. God cannot be mocked.
Thank you.
Don't blame the Doctor. Blame the HMO
A lot of HMOs in Nigeria are very useless and just extort people.
You'd see a HMO that doesn't cover syringes and gloves , or doesn't cover 80 percent of meds.
That's why you need to make findings before enrolling into any HMO.
The doctors prescribe the standard and the HMO then determine what it covers
Annoying part is A Doctor can even request for a Test and a Hmo Officer will be asking .. why did you order this?
These are the issues.
Fight with your HMO and not the Doctor or Hospital
We’re still in the season of love ❤️ and while love is sweet, some habits can harm your health.
Sharing medications or ignoring symptoms like chest pain can increase your risk of illness.
Love wisely. Protect your health.

🇳🇬 Dear Nigerians,
We have carefully reviewed the released Certified True Copies of the Tax Reform Acts and the gazettes your government now parades.
We have also taken note of the dates boldly printed on them.
With that established, let us be clear.
Your government is not smart. They simply assume many of you are ignorant.
After weeks of sustained public pressure, they issued this clumsy press statement claiming they had “released” the gazetted copies of the Tax Reform Acts, applauding themselves as leaders of a transparent government.
That claim is false. It is insulting and honestly misleading.
While the world was focused on Venezuela, the House of Representatives, in quiet coordination with the Presidency, released what it now calls Certified True Copies (CTCs) of the four Tax Reform Acts.
They even congratulated themselves and praised the Speaker’s so-called “transparency drive.”
If you examine the released files, you will find presidential assent pages attached and a Google Drive link to gazettes dated June 26, 2025.
This is nowhere near transparency. It is damage control.
The timing tells the real story.
The four Acts are now being presented as the “AUTHENTIC” versions, conveniently cleansed of the coercive provisions that triggered national outrage.
No compulsory 20 percent appeal deposits.
No unchecked garnishee powers without court orders.
Oversight restored.
Due process acknowledged.
Fine. At least public fears have been partially allayed.
But this question remains unavoidable: if these gazetted copies were genuinely published in June 2025, why were Nigerians previously shown different texts? Why wait until January 2026, after implementation commenced on January 1, before releasing these CTCs? Why only act after public outrage peaked, following Hon. Dasuki’s warning and interventions by other prominent Nigerians?
This release is an admission by stealth.
They are loudly conceding that rogue versions indeed circulated. They refuse to say who inserted those clauses, who printed them, who distributed them, and under whose authority Nigerians were subjected to texts that were never law.
The press statement dismisses the earlier versions as “unauthorised and misleading,” instructs citizens to ignore them, and praises institutional memory while the Betara-led ad hoc committee drags on with no timeline, no findings, and no consequences.
Nigerians, re-gazetting does not cure the offence. It sanitises the record and evades responsibility.
Post-assent alteration is not an error.
It is forgery. It is uttering. It is conspiracy. It is misconduct in public office. It is legislative usurpation under Section 4 of the Constitution.
If the CTCs reflect what the National Assembly actually passed, then the earlier circulating texts were criminal fakes and indeed doctored, and someone must answer for publishing fake laws as binding statutes.
So far, there are no conclusions. No prosecutions. No apologies. Only PR and forced normalisation as usual.
But the deeper danger here is precedent. If laws can be quietly altered and later “corrected” without consequence, then legislation becomes an executive plaything.
Nigerians, please do not be distracted by executive conspiracies and shenanigans. We are not fools like the nepotistic zombies who applaud their foolishness.
This was a legislative smokescreen.
Please let us continue to demand the essentials. A full independent probe must be conducted.
Those who altered our laws must be identified. They must be prosecuted once forgery is confirmed. There must be immediate suspension of implementation until this issue is cleared.
Anything less normalises CONSTITUTIONAL TREASON.
Laws must not become playthings in the hands of executive mischief makers. We are not fools, even though we are led by chronic kakistocrats.

The smoking has ended.
It might end abruptly, or the real journey to end it begins today.
Children wield that much power with parents who love them.
End.
Something just happened to me right now.
You know I told you all that I'm planning to quit smoking.
So this morning, I took my cigarette pack to my veranda to light a stick.
Then my lovely daughter walked in, and presented my nicotine patch to me.
I felt really bad.
End.

I'll keep saying this, reverse the CGT rate to 10%. This new law sill discourage long term investors from investing in NGX.
Mr. Taiwo appears to focus on the fact that most retail investors don't sell stock every day and so will have limited exposure.

There is no single debate going on in our political/regulatory spaces; full compliance to the food colonizers. This generation is outperforming those that sold us into slavery
