“Na social media igbo people dey show each other love, but in real life? Except you are rich, They rather buy you drinks, spray you money at your wedding than set you up with an opportunity that brings you to the same level with them. One sing igbo person hasn’t done nada for me.”
A baby who fell into a well is fortunate to be alive after Good Samaritans risked their lives to pull the child out.
In a video recorded in a south-eastern state, believed to be Anambra state from their dialect, a large crowd is seen gathered around the opening of a well as people screamed in confusion that a child had fallen into the well.
A brave man managed to enter the deep well and tied a rope around the child. Those at the mouth of the well then pulled the rope up, bringing the child out alive and well.
Some assumed the child had swallowed so much water and tried to press the child’s tummy to force out the water. But they were assured that the ”child is fine.”

Popular Ghanaian film star, John Dumelo has revealed he would have taken an entirely different career if he had granted his mother’s wishes for him
The actor, during an interview with YFM’s Y-Leaderboard Series anchored by Rev. Erskine, yesterday, revealed that his mother wanted him to become a Reverend Father.
IN his words ;
“I used to serve mass and at a point, I think my mother even wanted me to be a Reverend Father but that calling, I beat am. When you serve mass well, they’ll probably tell you to go to Pope John Senior High School and continue to the seminary and so on but I beat that path. God had other purposes for me.”
Speaking further at the interview, he talked about his career noting that even though acting wasn’t the best for him, it gave him a good life and vacations to wherever he wanted.
Popular Nigerian female wordsmith, Eva Alordiah has revealed her hatred for anything that causes discomfort to her body.
The rapper shared a braless photo with her nipples pushing against the thin fabric of her top and spoke of how much she hates bras. She also spoke about nipples and questioned what it is about them that makes men aroused.
Sharing the photo, she wrote ;
”Nipsey Hustling. I don’t like bras. Generally I just think Bras are so uncomfortable. For me. And I am not the only woman who feels this way.
My breasts are a part of my body, not just singular entities separate from me.
So when I am locked in and strapped under the sore clasping of the hooks and cups of a bra, it is my entire body in subjection to that discomfort.
“Can someone, a man, please explain to me what it is about the nipples that make them such a crave and a catalyst for sexual arousal? I can hardly understand it.
“When I wear a Bra, I do it for you. To help you help yourself from going crazy over nipples. When I don’t wear a bra, I do it for me. To help me help myself fucking breathe.”
A Nigerian sexologist who served as a teacher during her NYSC year, has narrated how she was given a query for teaching students on practicing safe sex.
The lady revealed that she served the nation in a secondary school, where a number of the girls were already sexually active.
She told the story of how when one of her students developed complications from a badly done abortion, she decided to teach them about safe sex to ensure they don’t get pregnant at all.
Her actions then backfired and the school’s principal called her for a meeting, after which she was reported to the LGI in charge of corps members in the local government. She was accused of teaching the girls “carnal things” and was queried.
Her narration led to a debate on Twitter as some users told her that she should have taught the girls abstinence instead. Others said girls have been taught about abstinence for too long yet it hasn’t stopped them from having sex, so it’s best to teach them to be safe if they choose to have sex.
A new video shared on social media shows the breathtaking moment a baby who fell into a well was aided by good Samaritans who risked their lives to pull the child out alive.
In a video which is said to have been recorded in south-eastern state, Anambra —judging from their dialect— a large crowd can be seen gathered around the opening of a well as the onlookers beckoned in confusion that a child had fallen into the well.
A quite brave man managed to enter the deep well and tied a rope around the child. Those at the mouth of the well then pulled the rope up, bringing the child out alive and well.
The brave man who jumped into the well after the child later came out, told spectators that the well was very deep.
While the brave man was praised for his actions, the little child was taken to a safe space and laid on a mat.
Some assumed the child had swallowed so much water as they tried to press the child’s tummy to force out the water, but were assured that the ”child is fine.”

“It seems just like yesterday, 13yrs ago when I held you for the first time. Can’t believe you’re a Teenager now! I’m grateful to God for choosing me as your caretaker my Princess….My first love “Olabisi Sheree Love Joy Balogun” ?”
A high court in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, has sentenced a second year student of Physics department at the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT), Ifeanyi Dike, and one Ugochukwu Nwamiro, to death by hanging for the murder of an eight-year-old girl, Victory Chikamso Nmezuwuba.
The duo were sentenced to death without an option of fine. One is to be hung by his neck until he dies while the other is to be hung on the leg till he dies as well.
Dike, who was aged 23 years when the incident happened in 2017, was apprehended by a local vigilance group in Eliozu axis of Port Harcourt with a sack containing Chikamso’s body following a tip-off. The local security outfit later handed Dike over to the police for further investigations and prosecution.
He (Dike) reportedly removed the victim’s eyes, vagina, finger and tongue, after defiling and murdering her with the assistance of his cousin, Ugochukwu.
Few days after he was handed over to the police, Dike escaped from the premises of the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), with the aid of a police personnel on duty, Sgt Johnbosco Okoronze, who failed to handcuff the suspect after he had finished writing his statement.
Dike’s escape raised severe criticisms and condemnation for the police laxity even as the then Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Zaki Ahmed, described it as unfortunate and an embarrassment to the police force.
Some weeks later, Dike was however rearrested in Jos, Plateau State capital by security operatives and was brought back to Port Harcourt for trial. During trial, the police prosecutor, Sgt. Blessing Oheyen, tendered the body parts of the victim as evidence to the court.
Barely three years after trial commenced, the judge, Justice Adolphus Enebele, ruled that the evidences before the court showed that the duo conspired and murdered Chimkamso and hence, sentenced them to death.
The judge also sentenced Sergeant Johnbosco Okoronze of the State CID to one year imprisonment for aiding the escape of Dike from police custody.
Family of the victim, Chikamso, expressed relief on the judgment while relatives of Dike were seen in court weeping after the judgment was passed.
It was gathered that Dike and the victim lived both on Messiah Street, Eliozu in Port Harcourt.
Father of the slain girl, Ernest Nmezuwuba, had in 2017 told the police he was filled with grief after seeing the mutilated body of his daughter. He expressed shock that Dike could contemplate killing his daughter. “The man who killed my daughter is like my brother, someone very close to me, I can call him my cousin.”
Narrating how his daughter got missing and eventually killed, Nmezuwuba recalled that Chikamso had requested bread for breakfast, which he father bought for her before he left for work.
Nmezuwuba said when he returned home around 3:00p.m. and learnt that his daughter was missing, he immediately began a search. When the search became fruitless, he reported the matter to the police.
“So, around 1:30 a.m. security men said that they had seen my daughter and that I should come and see the man that kidnapped her. I was in my shorts and I rushed to the place with the security agents. I was told that the person that killed my daughter was caught while carrying a load in a sack. The policemen said when they confronted him, he said he wanted to take it to the dustbin.
“When I got there, I asked: where is my daughter? They showed me a sack. As I opened it, I saw my daughter; I peeped and watched very well, the two eyes were off, the tongue was gone, one of the breasts was off, one of the fingers, the smaller one, was off. I watched at the centre, he had carved it (vagina) out. As I turned back and saw him, he (Dike) was looking at the ground.”
Controversial US-based Nigerian artiste, Speed Darlington, has called out Anambra pastor and media sensation Prophet Odumeje for using ‘voodoo’ to perform miracles.
The ‘bangdededang’ crooner accused Prophet Odumeje of not being a real man of God and further labelled him an attention seeking individual with ‘short man complex’.
He also warned Nigerians to stop going to Odumeje’s church to look for miracle, stating that God lives everywhere except at Odumeje’s church.

Veteran Nigerian Singer, Tony OneWeek has taken to his social media page to react to the recent events that happened with Nigerian Business Tycoon and music executive, Emeka Okonkwo otherwise known as E-Money.
Recall that some days back, the Inspector General of Police ordered the immediate withdrawal of Mr. Okonkwo’s police escorts and a probe following his consistent show of wealth and affluence.
Reacting to the development, Tony Oneweek shared a throwback photo of E-Money and Kcee at a time when they seemingly had nothing and he wrote:
NOBODY INVESTIGATES YOUR POVERTY.
Nigeria sef. When E-Money and his elder brother Kaycee Limpopo were in the street, police didn’t investigate him oooo. Now he is rich, they want to investigate his wealth. Like my brother OC Emcee said: “Nobody investigates ur poverty”.
I am happy that E-Money has the “required” Goodwill that set him free (within a few hours) from this aborted embarrassment. Emeka is a good man. He is different, benevolent and very humble. Some Igbos do not love themselves shaa. Sad to hear that E-Money’s travail was ignited by a fellow Igbo man. Na waa

A video that made the rounds yesterday showed the moment a suspected COVID-19 patient was being evacuated to an isolation centre in a very ‘careless manner’ as none of the officials doing the evacuation were seen wearing the mandatory PPE that such situation requires.
The video elicited a wide range of criticism from social media users and some even doubted if the patient really had the virus.
See video below ;
– Health workers evacuating a suspected Covid-19 patient in Kwara state.
In recent development, the Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has ordered the sack of a government driver attached to the state’s COVID-19 Rapid Response Team RRT, who attended to a suspected COVID-19 patient “in an unprofessional manner”.
A statement released by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Rafiu Ajakaye, says the official failed to heed the clear directive from his superiors at the Rapid Response Team not to take any action until they arrive the scene.
Read the statement below
”Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Wednesday directed the sack of a government driver that unilaterally attended to an unkempt person who was evacuated with a COVID-19 ambulance in Ilorin.
He also directed the issuance of queries to top officials of the state ministry of health for failing to act with necessary caution and expertise in the handling of the incident that was recorded in a video footage that has since gone viral.
The Governor totally condemns the shoddy handling of the gentleman who was clearly going through a hard time,” Rafiu Ajakaye, chief press secretary to the Governor, said in a statement on Wednesday.
He has directed that the driver be fired immediately. As the investigation revealed, the driver failed to heed clear directive not to take any action until the Rapid Response Team (RRT) arrives the scene. He evacuated the gentleman with the help of members of the public without waiting for the arrival of the RRT.”
The Governor further directed that members of the RRT be queried, while other steps are being taken to ensure this incident does not repeat itself. Involving just anybody in the evacuation of a suspected case, as was seen in the footage, was a clear and dangerous violation of COVID-19 safety protocols. The government equally finds it quite distasteful and unacceptable that the driver, who had long been involved in such operations, made unethical comments to somebody in distress.
That incident was avoidable, and we sincerely apologise to the gentleman and to the people of Kwara State for the embarrassing development. We assure them this will not happen again.”

I must say that there is no universal medical consensus on a specific treatment regime for covid19. Also most of d drugs being used in different centres worldwide are not backed by any detailed or extensive research work anywhere in the world.. Most scientific works and studies currently going on have limited scientific acceptability either because the samples used are too scanty, sometimes as low as 40 to 60, or because controls do not exists. It will take another 4 to 6 months before results of credible works are available.
However the humongous nature of the global emergency make it impossible for countries not to explore experimental drugs that show any possibility or potential to contain the virus.
In my own case I commenced treatment with the hydroxychloroquine regime 4 days to my isolation. This us because I read extensively on various options of treatment for covid 19 and I follow the global debate on its pros & cons of d treatment. With my medical background and local consultation with colleagues I already made up my mind that the chloroquine regime was so far the most promising. I ordered for the drugs just in case someone close or even I should unfortunately pick up the virus.
I MUST WARN HERE THAT IF UU HV CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIAS , U WILL NEED TO CONSULT YR PHYSICIAN BEFORE U TAKE HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE. I DID. so I was advised to use 200mg twice daily instead of 400mg twice daily for 2days.
After I put my wife and I on the treatment my low grade fever disappeared completely and my wife’s bone pains too. Personally I blv the combination works. Lagos uses anti viral drugs and they also get good results.
However the scientific truth we know about treatment for viral infection is that ultimately what eventually works is the innate capability of the immune system of individual patients. It is the immunity level that eventually decide the course of the infection in each individual. That is why age and ore existing comobidity factors are crucial to survival and wellbeing.
Hence for those who are not sick, you should ingest immune boosting drugs and preparations . Like zinc SULPHATE, immunace, RELOAD and similar immunity enhancing drugs.
I also took copious amount of ginger, garlic, tumeric and lemon. In kaduna I am told that they add dongoyaro leaves to the above mixture and drink liberally.
As a tip also, it is known that when the virus first gain access to the body it stays in the nasal cavity and the throat for 2 to 3days. In this position the virus itself is vulnerable. It does naturally in temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius. If at this stage u can consume large quantities of hot water wt lemon u can abort the attack.
My Advice
Pursue personal safety at whatever cost. Stay at home. Dont visit and dont recieve visitors. Check drivers maids and aides. Since its may be difficult to gauge their compliance, either reduce to the barest minimum or do without. Those that must stay must be made to be resident and movements restricted. Maintain physical distancing if u must ho out. Comply wt the hygiene protocols as recommended by NCDC.
Fortify yrself daily wt immune boosters.
At the slightest sign of trouble, fever, catarrh and or cough get help instant.
