This thing you kids are doing with Temu is so disgusting.
How low can you really go? Tomorrow you’ll come out in troves to complain about the government
This man wasn’t doing as great before his prison sentence.
Now, post prison time, this man who went to jail for sexually assaulting and abusing a child is getting gifts and accolades.
It’s almost as if he is being compensated for the having faced consequences (which are mild in my opinion) for his vile CRIMINAL behaviour.
My experience with my boy moving in my wife’s stomach.
We were excited when he started moving and I was always happy to feel him by touching my wife’s stomach.
One day he moved too much and caused pain for my wife. She then tapped her stomach as though she was spanking him and said he should stop moving.
Omo, that’s how he didn’t move for about 5 days. We started begging him to move.
We were so worried that we had to go to do scan to make sure he was fine.
We literally begged him to move. After a while he started moving again, that’s when we were relieved.
Mind what you say to your babies while in the womb.
“I didn’t bring you people here to enjoy oo, I brought you here to work for me”
I was only 12 years old and my sister 9.
Whenever I remember this, I tell myself “it’s either my kids stay with me or I don’t give birth to them at all”.
If you are raising a Black boy in the UK, there are some conversations you cannot afford to avoid.
The statistics are uncomfortable.
Black people make up around 4% of the population of England and Wales, yet account for around 12% of the prison population. In the year ending June 2025, Black offenders made up 25% of the prison population for under-18s and 21% of those aged 18–24. Black children are also significantly more likely to experience police interventions such as strip searches than their White peers.
Whatever your view is on why these disparities exist, one thing is clear: parents cannot afford to be passive. You must know your child’s friends and where they spend their time. Know who influences them. Know what is happening in their world when they leave your house.
Have conversations with them about peer pressure, gangs, exploitation, drugs, social media and joint enterprise. Too many families believe that if their child was not the person holding the weapon or directly committing the offence, they have nothing to worry about. The law is not always that simple.
You should also teach your child to understand their rights. If they ever find themselves being arrested or interviewed by the police, they should know that they are entitled to free legal advice. Seeking legal advice before answering questions can be one of the most important decisions a young person makes in that situation.
As a social worker, I have met parents who were genuinely shocked by what their child was involved in because they thought, “my child would never.” Love your child enough to have the uncomfortable conversations.
Black boys often face a different set of risks, pressures and outcomes in the society they are growing up in. Pretending otherwise does not prepare them for the world.
The NHS midwife and health visitor system after a baby is born is one of the most genuinely supportive things this country does quietly and without fanfare. Top notch design 🙏🏼
There’s a silent disaster happening in Nigeria that nobody wants to confront honestly.
We keep shouting about unemployment, bad leadership, low productivity, corruption, poor healthcare, failed institutions and why our country is not working. But many people are avoiding the root cause.
Our education system has been deeply compromised.
A student enters secondary school or university full of dreams, intelligence and potential. Then the system teaches them something dangerous:
“You do not need competence to succeed.”
WAEC malpractice. NECO malpractice. GCE runs. Sorting. Sex for grades. Extortion. Intimidation. Victimization. Handout rackets. “See me after class.” “Talk to your lecturer.” “Settle this course.”
And after 4 or 5 years of surviving that environment, we expect excellence to magically appear.
It won’t.
A country cannot repeatedly reward dishonesty in classrooms and expect integrity in government offices, hospitals, engineering sites, courtrooms and businesses.
This is where many of our unemployable graduates are coming from.
Not because Nigerians are not intelligent.
Not because our youths are lazy.
But because too many people were trained inside a system where merit was murdered.
The painful part is this:
UNN, UNILAG, FUTO, ABU, UI, IMSU, ABSU and many others are using largely the same NUC-regulated curriculum.
The difference is standards.
The universities that still command respect are usually the ones with stronger resistance against sorting, extortion and academic fraud.
The ones collapsing in reputation are often the ones where corruption became normalized.
Once a student realizes they can buy an “A” with ₦20,000, or sleep their way through a course, or manipulate results through connections, the motivation to truly learn starts dying slowly.
And when millions of such graduates enter the labor market, the entire country pays the price.
That weak engineer may eventually supervise a bridge.
That poorly trained nurse may handle a patient.
That compromised accountant may manage public funds.
That fake first-class graduate may become a lecturer and reproduce the same cycle again.
This is no longer just an education problem.
It is a national security problem.
Countries become great because they protect competence fiercely.
Singapore did it.
China did it.
Germany did it.
South Korea did it.
You cannot build a first-world country with a third-world attitude towards education integrity.
Nigeria does not have a shortage of talent.
Nigeria has a shortage of systems that protect excellence.
And until we become ruthless about fighting academic corruption, exam malpractice, sorting, sex-for-grades and institutional intimidation, we will continue producing certificates instead of competence.
This fight is bigger than schools.
It is about the future survival of Nigeria itself.
When I was pregnant, I asked my midwife what to pack in my hospital bag. She told me it was entirely up to me, but that I could actually show up with nothing because the hospital would provide everything, including things for the baby.
At 39 weeks, I noticed reduced fetal movement, so I called the maternity unit and they told me to come in. After checking the baby with the monitor, everything seemed fine, but they asked me to rest a bit before leaving. While I was there, I went to the toilet and my water broke. Labour started right then! My husband wanted to go home to grab my bag, but I told him no because I needed him by my side.
After 24 hours of labour, I wasn’t dilating fully, and because I had developed sepsis, they booked me for an emergency CS. Within five minutes, my baby was delivered.
Guess what? The hospital provided everything clothes, diapers, socks, and a cap. Both the baby and I were started on IV antibiotics and we spent three days in the ward. We paid absolutely nothing. When it was time to go home, I asked my husband to buy some chocolates and a card for the ward to say a big thank you for taking such great care of us.
Not a single sacrifice this President has made.
When the economy is hardest, he makes zero sacrifice and lives large.
Came into power and splurged on a new Jet, Yatch, mansion for VP, fleet of armored SUV, and billions for travel.
Has a big cabinet with some of the most incompetent ministers we have seen.
We now have an apartheid power supply system that has gotten worst. He goes off grid and splurges on solar.
Fuel prices are high he mouths the same worthless CNG plan and tells Nigerians to be grateful.
People are being killed in hundreds and lazily tweets 2 days later and when he manages go get himself to visit the victims, he addresses them at the airport.
Every other day, something is being named after him. No decorum or class. Just embracing and encouraging shocking levels of subserviency from the shameless political class.
Nigerians pay more for everything. A generation of young people are having their productive years wasted with no form of care or remorse.
I have benefited absolutely nothing from Tinubu’s government. He promises better future that requires sacrifices. Sacrifices he has shown no interest in making.
A leader should be an example. Make some sacrifices. Show you care.
I don’t respect it!
So the guy that was offered this HCA role yesterday 😆He’s engaged, already proposed and everything, but not officially married yet. During his briefing, he was told that since he wasn’t married, the sponsorship would only cover him.
This man didn’t just accept it quietly. He stood his ground and kept pushing for his partner to be considered too. He even showed us his proposal video, clear as day that this wasn’t just talk, he’s fully committed 🫡
What struck me was that, even though she isn’t his wife yet, he was already thinking ahead, trying to make sure she’s secure and included from the start so there are no issues later. That level of intention and responsibility? It says a lot.
After he left, we discussed his case behind the scenes, and the HR handling his recruitment was genuinely impressed. Instead of putting him on a COS that wouldn’t support his partner later, she went the extra mile to secure one that gives him the option to add her in the future.
Fast forward to this morning, his request was approved. He’s now been told he can include his partner later.
Honestly, moments like this just remind me: men are good people. We may not always get it right, and yes, we can be a lot sometimes, but deep down, a lot of men are trying, really trying to love right, to provide, and to stand up for the people they care about.
There’s EasyJet, Jet2 Holidays, Love Holidays and so many other holiday planners where you pay small small for 6 months to one year. God forbid single women after working so hard, and earning some income, like every other person, decide to plan their holidays using these platforms. Then someone will just wake up and think some random guy is sponsoring her lifestyle. @_adanneya come and see o
"Your Pastors are not the government. Leave them alone"
I'm tired of seeing this stupid line of arguments.
Your government leaders kneel before your Pastors every Sunday.
Your Pastors craft nasty messages like "Saul will come before Paul" to enable blood sucking demons into power.
Your pastors are complicitly evil.
Your Pastors do not control security or policies, but they control 80M Christians. They have an obligation from a place of influence.
Not even the Bible you teach from, sidelines the effect of religious leaders in spinning the wheels of power.
Your Pastors are IN FACT the government. Literally and metaphorically.
About 3 currently active Governors are serving ushers in big 3 churches. Your former vice president was a Senior Pastor. Your EFCC director is. Your first lady is. Your Ministers are.
YOUR PASTORS ARE THE GOVERNMENT.
A pregnant woman sniffed me today 🥹🥹🥹 She waddled over like a little penguin and goes "can I smell you?" and I had no idea what to do. So I was like, sure. She took this LOUD sniff and looked so happy. Then she goes "are you in a hurry? Can I smell you for a little longer?" I said maybe I can just spritz you with my perfume? So I sprayed some on her sleeve, she smells it and almost starts crying, like "no, that's not it." Then I sprayed her husband, he wasn't thrilled about smelling like women's perfume, but I told him it's unisex, and THAT was the match.
And the little penguin just latched onto the husband and kept sniffing him 😄 Being pregnant is so wild. That perfume you recommended… it literally stopped a stranger in her tracks.
