In her words,

Someone contacted me on Instagram saying we have the same surname, look and think we are related. She asked me for my state and village and when l told her, she said it was the same as hers. She consequently asked that she would like to meet me when she comes to Nigeria, which l agreed.

I thought I was just going to meet a new Instagram friend. When she met me, she asked for my father’s name and because I have not met my dad, I just told him the name. She said the name sounded familiar and needed to call her own father. By the time she was done calling, I discovered that my father was a nephew to the person’s dad.

Presently, it seems the father and daughter, have mended their relationship as they were spotted all smiles in the photos and videos Erica shared.

#EndSars: Lady cries and refuses to fly the Nigerian flag.

UPDATED: The story that the Lady below lost her three brothers to SARS is untrue.

The image is real, and the Lady identified as Ugochukwu, had joined protests in south-eastern Nigeria. But as the image was shared online, people started adding misleading information.

“Not one brother…3…on the same day…killed and dumped in a well,” a widely-circulated reply to one of the posts with the image said, claiming she’d lost family members at the hands of the police.

BBC contacted a spokesperson for Ms Ugochukwu identified as Gideon Obianime.. Gideon said the story that was attached to the photo is not true.

He said Ms Ugochukwu herself was briefly detained by Sars forces in 2018, but although she has brothers, none of them had been killed by Sars forces.

“I think people started adding assumptions to the photo. She has been getting a lot of backlash [over this],” Mr Obianime told the BBC.

Nigerian lady bags 3 degrees, becomes doctor, pharmacist years after being told girl child can’t be great

A lovely Nigerian lady identified as Ifeyinwa Ezeudu, has taken to social media to share her success story which has now begun serving as a source of inspiration to a lot of people.

Happy international day of the girl child!

“It is either we restructure Nigeria or we break up” – Pastor Adeboye says

General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor E.A Adeboye has reiterated his call for an urgent need to restructure Nigeria while lending his voice to the campaign against police brutality in Nigeria.

Pastor Adeboye

Adeboye made the call in a post shared via his Instagram account on Tuesday, 13th October 2020.

Recall that the clergyman had called for the restructuring of Nigeria some weeks ago.

In his new message, the RCCG Head pastor insisted that it is either Nigeria is restructured or it breaks up.

In his words,

“I believe that we might want to look at the problems of Nigeria in a slightly different manner. Some people feel that all our problems will be over if Nigeria should break up. I think that is trying to solve the problems of Nigeria as if it is a Simple Equation. The problems of Nigeria will require quite a bit of Simultaneous Equation and some of them are not going to be Linear either – forgive me I am talking as a Mathematician.

Why can’t we have a system of government that will create what I will call the United States of Nigeria? Let me explain. We all know that we must restructure. It is either we restructure or we break, you don’t have to be a prophet to know that one. That is certain – restructure or we break up.

“Now, we don’t want to break up, God forbid.

“Without any doubt, we must restructure and do it as soon as possible. A United States of Nigeria is likely to survive than our present structure, this will help across every strata from the police force, military, customs, civil service as a whole. Without any doubt the present system has just made things difficult for Nigerians young and old and I’m glad to see the new era that we are entering. As we continue to pray and take actions, Let somebody shout hallelujah!

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere… Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. #EndSARS”.

“SWAT is like when NEPA changed to PHCN” – Reno Omokri

Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has likened the change of SARS to SWAT to when the government changed NEPA to PHCN, without any visible changes.

reno omokri

Reno described the change of the infamous police unit, as a “Greek gift”, with the intention of tricking and causing harm to the citizens.

In a series tweets, he expressed his displeasure to the new development.

He tweeted,

The SWAT announced by the @PoliceIGP is a Greek Gift. Without weeding out errant cops and recruiting new blood, who must go through a different and better training than SARS, the SWAT will just be like when NEPA changed to PHCN #ENDSARS #EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeria#SARSMUSTEND.

General @MBuhari was asked to bring his WAEC certificate, instead, he brought 13 SANS. He was asked to #EndSARS and he brought SWAT ti SWAT us. He was asked to restructure Nigeria and he threw the National Conference resolutions in the dustbin.

SWAT was set up in 1964 to suppress the riots that sprang up during the Civil Rights movement in America. Please research this yourself. And now that Nigerians are fighting for their Civil Rights, General @MBuhari’s government comes up with SWAT?”
“They don’t even have original ideas. Because @MBuhari changed from khaki to agbada, they think they can change from SARS to SWAT”.

Recall that, The Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has set up SWAT to replace the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) which was disbanded following nationwide protests over brutality, illegal arrest, extortion, extra-judicial killings.

After Offset shared a video of him presenting the pricey bag to Kulture, 2, fans criticized the action stating that the child didn’t appreciate the expensive gift and would have preferred a doll.

Cardi B in her reply to the critic, said ; “She got all the Barbie d.”

Later, Cardi took to her Instagram Story to address the topic of their recent extravagant purchase.

The mother of one said,

“Yea, kids only care about toys and candy. But the thing is, kids also go outside. Kids go to restaurants, kids go to fancy places. Celebrity kids, they go do red carpets.

“And if I’m fly, and daddy’s fly, then so is the kid. If I’m wearing Cha-nay-nay, my kid’s having the same thing. It’s not up to what the kids like. If it was the kids, they’d be outside in diapers.

“No, cause if I was looking like a bad b***h, expensive b***h, and I had my kid looking like a bum bum, then y’all would be talking s***. So, I’m not mad that daddy bought baby a Birkin. She gonna match mommy.”
