It shouldn’t be so normalized that we read so many stories of young people dying. From Vwaire, to Chinelo, and now Somto, it’s infuriating how this country continues to eat its young.
Whether it’s mass killings in Benue or individual deaths, it’s all too much. It’s too much.

TRAGIC DEATH : SOMTOCHUKWU CHRISTELLE MADUAGWU
December 26, 1995 - September 29, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that the management and staff of the ARISE News Channel announce the passing of our beloved colleague, News Anchor, Reporter and Producer, Somtochukwu Christelle Maduagwu. Sommie tragically passed away in the early hours of Monday, September 29, 2025 following an armed robbery incident in her residence in Katampe area of Abuja that is being investigated by the Nigeria Police.
Sommie, 29, was not only a cherished member of the ARISE News family but also a vibrant voice that engaged and connected with our viewers.
Beyond the airwaves, Sommie was a lawyer who was a professional and supportive colleague and a friend to many.
We extend our deepest condolences to Sommie’s parents, siblings, extended family, friends, and loved ones at this difficult time. Sommie’s voice is now silent but her spirit, passion and legacy will endure as part of our collective memory. We remain in shock and call for a speedy investigation, apprehension and prosecution of the culprits.

Today isn’t just my day at the gym, and that’s fine. I’ll do what I can and leave.
Since getting back in the gym, I’ve been struggling, both mentally and physically. Trying not to dwell on it all but it’s all just so upsetting.

All killed over alleged blasphemy in Nigeria. 💔
🕯️ RIP to every one of them. Justice still denied.
🇳🇬 Nigeria, A country with no value for human lives.
In as much as I love perfumes, I told myself I never want to pass having a hundred bottles at a time, and so far I’m sticking to it. Some get used up completely and some I don’t like as much anymore, I give away.
Found yet another staff stealing from Rékojá. This one taking personal payments into her account. Lol
One thing about staff? They will rob you like mad.
I'm not even angry.
Just fired the two both of them. I don't even care if the second is stealing.
It is well.
House of Naya are serious business people. I love coming across businesses in Lagos that are efficient and have great customer service. Actual RTW. Prices are amazing & the pieces are gorgeous. Shout out to whoever the founder is. Well done!
This year has been so weird that I can prolly count how many times I’ve written a to-do list. Anyway, I wrote one today and completed about 90% of it, so I’m proud of myself.
