Free Internet-based encyclopedia, Wikipedia, has recently updated its meaning of failed states and cited Nigeria as an example of a failed state.
According to Wikipedia, a failed state is a political body that has disintegrated to a point where basic conditions and responsibilities of a sovereign government no longer function properly.
The common characteristics of a failing state include a central government so weak or ineffective that it has an inability to raise taxes or other support, and has little practical control over much of its territory and hence there is a non-provision of public services. When this happens, widespread corruption and criminality, the intervention of state and non-state actors, the appearance of refugees and the involuntary movement of populations, sharp economic decline, and foreign military intervention can occur.
In the wake of the happenings in Nigeria in recent years and the description of a failed state, Wikipedia might not be wrong.
Countries also listed by Wikipedia includes; Syria, Somalia, Myanmar, Nigeria, Iraq, Yemen, Turkey, Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, Rwanda, Liberia, Yugoslavia, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Sudan, South Sudan.

The general overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International, Apostle Suleman has joined other Nigerians to react to the death sentence that was given by a sharia court in Kano to a Nigerian singer for blasphemy.
According to the Apostle, the act of forgiving a terrorist and sentencing a singer to death for blasphemy is considered the worst form of self deceit.
On Tuesday he tweeted,
“A country that pardons terrorists wants to kill a man for blasphemy. I am sure even Saudi Arabia is shocked…the worst form of deception is self deceit'”.
see the tweet below,
Recall that, the country recently pardoned more than 600 terrorist and reintegrated them in the community, while 22-year-old, Yahaya was sentenced to death by an upper sharia court in Kano, for committing blasphemy in a song that was circulated on Whatsapp.

Nollywood actress, Sylvia Oluchy has berated photographers who have cultivated the culture of issuing out fame as a compensation for injustice and poverty.
Sylvia Oluchy whose tweets centered on how Olajumoke Orisaguna turned out after she became famous and the recent photo campaigns of the woman whose husband allegedly abandoned for giving birth to daughters with blue eyes, noted that issuing out fame as compensation for injustice and poverty is instrincally flawed.
Her tweets read ;
This culture of photographers issuing out FAME as a compensation for injustice and poverty is instrincally flawed. Fame is not a reward. Fame is actually ENDURED in exchange for living your dreams. Celebrities will tell you their utopia is to keep the success and lose the fame.
People who require fame to boost their craft eg Actors, Musicians, Politicians usually go through a long period termed “paying your dues” where they develop a thick skin and learn to tolerate all the BS that comes with being popular.
Throwing poor illiterates into the spot light is like throwing a baby in the deep end first to teach it how to swim
I recall the breadseller who TY Bello made famous. Illiteracy & her naivety meant she couldn’t convert the sudden fame to anything substantial & there’s always someone lurking to take advantage of her new status. She later complained about how fame ripped her life apart.
Now it’s the woman with the blue eyes who was called a witch by her husband. Today, I saw a beautiful photoshoot on her. Helping someone would be more beneficial if we helped them progress in things they actually do as opposed to treating fame like a proven remedy to any problem.
The bread seller would have been better off if TY Bello helped her raise money to start her own bakery for example.
These photographers have their hearts in the right place but the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Anybody in showbiz will tell you that sustaining fame is harder than getting it. Big brother contestants are a good example
What these photographers fail to realize is that unless they are prepared to stay the course, take these people under their wing, mentor and teach them the business of monetizing their fame for nothing less than 5 years. The fame they give them solves nothing long term.
They’ll be used as poster faces for causes by people with their own agenda and then quickly forgotten. But now because they are popular, they can’t go back to their old life and can’t move forward.
We should help people become the best versions of themselves rather than creating a whole new reality for them. This blue eyed woman, what does she do? If she is a petty trader for example. It might be better to get her a bigger shop and give her capital to upgrade her business.
Perhaps these photographers might want to scour for under appreciated talent and issue those ones fame. They will be better prepared to handle it and ready to tolerate the life upheaval because fame is actually something they desire and need desperately.
Fame is HARD, don’t let the glamour on SM fool you. To sustain it, you REALLY need to WANT it. Now that we know her story, thanks to her photoshoot. Helping her grow at whatever it is she already does will be a longer lasting solution to self sufficiency than instant fame.

Things are happening in the Big Brother Naija ‘lockdown’ house and y’all might have missed out on some major highlights ; well we got you covered.
An unseen clip making the rounds on social media showed the romantic moment Erica and Kiddwaya enjoyed their ‘private time’ in the head of house lounge and fans have been going crazy over it.
Recall Erica emerged the fourth head of house and unsurprisingly, picked Kiddwaya as her deputy which automatically guaranteed immunity from eviction and would also give them a much-needed private time to bolster their romantic affair.
Well, the couple seized the opportunity and they were caught on camera passionately making out.
Another cut in the video showed the moment a dismayed Laycon stared into nothingness, probably filing his mind with what must have been going on in the HOH room.
Hon. Babatunde Oke, the chairman of Oniggbongbo Local Council Development Area of Lagos state is dead.
He died in the early hours of today, due to coronavirus complication. Hon. Oke was serving his second term in the council and was an active member of the All Progressive Party (APC) before his untimely death.

According to a source, Hon. Oke was sick for over 8 weeks with a disease suspected to be COVID-I9 and was earlier treated at the Isolation centre in Gbagada.
He was rushed to an unnamed hospital on Friday. However, he was transferred to St. Nicholas Hospital when his condition became critical. He eventually died in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Surndrasinh revealed to his mother that he and Geeta did not have ‘physical relations’, police report said. Muli alleged that Geeta had ‘taken a vow‘ that she would not engage in intercourse with her husband during their marriage.
”Once I had gone inside my son’s room and found that he and my daughter-in-law were sleeping on different beds,” Muli alleged in her first information report.
‘When I asked my son about this, he told me that they did not have physical relations as Geeta had taken a vow that she would not sleep with her husband.’ Times of India reports that the couple fought frequently over the issue before Geeta moved into her parents’ home.
On July 27, family members returning from a funeral to Surndrasinh’s home discovered he had committed suicide.

A Nigerian virtuous widow, mother of five children identified as Mrs. Esther Ahmadu, who recently retired as a teacher in the civil service in Kogi State has demonstrated that there is more to motherhood than childbirth.
The unflinching effort of Mrs. Esther Ahmadu over her children despite roaring obstacles is a twin to Sonya Carson’ – the mother of Dr. Ben Carson who went though thin and thick before raising her son who has now become a renowned neurosurgeon in the World. Emmanuel Oluwasayomi Ahmadu, the second of five children of Mrs. Esther Ahmadu went from being a poor student who against repetitive failures and delays soar high to a point of representing both his University and his country – Nigeria, won numerous national and international award competitions.
Emmanuel, professionally known as Mr Voiceover, was pictured in front his mother’s house, showing his gratitude while displaying the numerous awards he received following the impacts he made in Kwara State and Nigeria at large during his just completed National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme in Kwara State.
A true template of motherhood such as Mrs. Esther Ahmadu are great inspiration to others, their stories are acts of courage that can empower millions of other women in the country, and that is why Mrs. Esther Ahmadu should be supported, given national honour and recognition to encourage other African parents on good child upbringing and selfless parenting.
Emmanuel Ahmadu, on 16th July 2020 successfully completed his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme in Kwara State with several awards and recommendations bagged for his selfless service and commitments that restored hope to over 500 community households and 50 schools across 3 Local Government Areas (Ilorin East, Ilorin West, Ilorin South) of Kwara State within 154 days.
On the international front, Emmanuel recently represented Nigeria in Bangladesh, India on 28th July, 2020 via Google Meet virtual conference along side Indian Professors and Mental Health Advocates, where he spoke on “Suicide Prevention” as an offshoot of the Covid-19 pandemic situation which has become a major health challenge across the World. Emmanuel, who seeks financial support and partnership from national and international stakeholders to drive home solutions to Nigeria was able to share innovative ideas from his sensational story and field experiences that have restored hope to over 200,000 people in Edo, Kogi, Kwara and other parts Nigeria and beyond.
Emmanuel told international television network, British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC News that the experience of raising money to register one exam after the other for 17 times in 5 years before he secured admission into the University was a traumatic experience. “My mom has been the one God used in sponsoring majority of my enrollments throughout the 16 primary schools, 14 secondary schools and the entire 17 O’level examination attempts, including the University Matriculation Examinations (UME) I wrote 5 times”.
“As shocking as it may appear, my mom spent virtually all her salaries thereby neglecting her personal needs as a School Teacher, she borrowed money from people, engaged in all types of petty businesses shamelessly and sometimes went the extra mile to obtain bank loan just to sponsor my enrollments and education and that of my other siblings. She trained us in God’s way from childhood and she never gave up on any of her children despite oppossing tides and societal challenges. She encouraged us all the way, she will always say, “don’t be tired, all will become well.”

Multiple award-winning American Singer, Stefani Germanotta professionally known Lady Gaga has revealed she has mental health issues.
Lady Gaga, 34, made the revelations about her mental health during a chat with with Zane Lowe on Apple Music’s Beats 1 radio station today Tuesday August 11.
She said:
‘I wrote a song on Chromatica called 911, and it’s about an anti-psychotic that I take and it’s because I can’t always control things that my brain does and I have to take medication to stop the process that occurs.
”I know I have mental issues and I know that they can sometimes render me non-functional as a human.’
How can I use my humanity to focus on something that I believe to be infinitely more important than what I’ve been through? Which is what the medical community has done.
‘It made me think about the helpers of the world and how their mental states are and how they don’t necessarily have the help that they need.
‘When this is all over whatever that means and things get better whatever that means, who will be there to support them’
‘I don’t lack self awareness and I do understand I’m not the only human on the planet that suffers and I think I have it pretty f****** good and I’m grateful for what I have.’
Former BBNaija housemate and model, Ike Onyeoma has revealed that he is still romantically entangled with his babe, Mercy Eke, who he met while in the BBN house, but they’re yet to be engaged traditionally.
He revealed that he not putting Mercy’s pictures on his social media space and vice versa was a mere strategy to have their fans and brands strong.
The model also noted that they had been incredibly supportive of each other’s businesses as they intentionally reduced posting their pictures on their social media handles.
“We are still doing our thing, we have not officially done the engagement or moved in together yet, but she comes to my place every other day and I go to her place as well.
“We still go to each other’s house and try not to overdo it, maybe stay the night or two, but not too much, just because of tradition.
“When it comes to business, things have gotten a lot better, before it was more like all of us as ex-housemates were in a competition with each other, but now, everyone is finding their place and we are all comfortable helping each other out.
“I will say the Mercy & Ike show was like a blessing because, before the show, we were both focused on our fan base and trying to keep our fan base strong, it was really an idea that promoting one another will weaken our brand.
“Like if I was to promote Mercy, it will weaken my brand or if she was to promote my brand it will weaken her brand, that is the kind of idea people were giving us.
“So, I am now going private, posting just myself and not showing anything about Mercy really calmed things down,” he said.
