Her message reads ;
This is not really a relationship issue.
So my boyfriend made me start coming to his church sometimes around December 2019.
I enjoyed it, it is a very popular church in Lagos. My Boyfriend is a worker and his family goes there too.
I have never missed a tithe payment. My boyfriend idolizes the pastor, treats him like a mini go even. The pastor can’t do any wrong.
So sometimes last week, i wanted to pay my tithe of 40,000 and i mistakenly sent 400,000 to the church account.
I called my boyfriend immediately and he said we will talk about it. When we saw later i told him and he said i should go to the church and talk to junior pastor.
When i got to the church, the pastor started telling me that it is Gods doing that 400k entered and i should leave the money with them that i will get blessings.
I said i needed the money to my shop rent and equipment, they gave me bad eye.
I told my boyfriend and he said i should be patient. He was already angry that i insulted the church. I called my bank, they said the church has to refund it that they can’t do it.
Even my boyfriend’s mother and sister was not so nice to me when she saw me. They make me feel like i stole or i’m a thief.
I am confused, this is my money, i have bills to pay. Business has been slow this year. I love my boyfriend. It is a 2 year relationship which may lead to marriage. This may be the end of our relationship. I don’t have much money, i can’t give 400k i did not plan

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Twitter, Jack Dorsey has cancelled his plan to relocate to Africa for up to six months in 2020. Jack described his tweets about moving to Africa as “a mistake”.
In November 2019, after visiting Africa on a month-long trip, Dorsey tweeted: “Sad to be leaving the continent … for now. Africa will define the future (especially the bitcoin one!). Not sure where yet, but I’ll be living here for 3-6 months mid-2020. Grateful I was able to experience a small part.”
However, Dorsey has now said that he needs to re-evaluates his plans about living in Africa due to the Coronavirus outbreak amongst other things
He said this while speaking at an investor conference sponsored by Morgan Stanley.
“When I tweeted about my intention to spend a few months in Africa this year, I made a mistake and should have provided more context about why. The continent will be one of the most populated in the next 20-30 years, and room for tech innovation there is incredible, but in light of COVID-19 and everything else going on I need to reevaluate. Either way, we’ll continue to pursue opportunities in Africa.” Dorsey said.
Coronavirus aside, Dorsey risks being replaced as Chief Executive Officer of the company he co-founded due to the new activist investors that are currently rooting for his removal.
News reports last week said Elliott Management, the activist hedge fund founded by billionaire Paul Singer, a major Republican political supporter, has acquired nearly 5% in Twitter and is now pushing for the removal of Dorsey as CEO, and has nominated four members to Twitter’s board.
The firm pushed for the change stating that Dorsey’s attention is divided between running Twitter and his financial transactions startup Square, and that Dorsey intends to live part of each year in Africa.
Dorsey said he remained capable of managing the two San Francisco-based tech firms.
“I have enough flexibility in my schedule to focus on the most important things and I have a good sense of what is critical on both companies,” he said.

A lady has recounted how a man she went on a date with ditched her after she refused to pay his bill.
The lady identified on twitter as Coco The Lagos Baker, recounted going on a date with a man her cousin introduced her to and after they both ordered and finished up, he expected her to pay the bill which she refused.
According to her, she paid for only what she had but the man who had expected her to pay the entire bill started making up lies that he forgot his ATM in the car. She however insisted she was not paying the bill and that was the beginning of the end of a date gone sour.
She recounted;
Men will embarrass you! Here’s a thread of how my date went today. So I meet this guy through my cousin and he asked me on a date, the date which was today was my first time ever seeing him.
I never get all dressed up for anything but for some reason I did make up and wore heels today, got all dressed up for nothing!! The guy came to pick me up from my house and took me a nice restaurant he had been ranting about
As always, I orders what I knew I could pay for if anything happened (thank God for sense) while uncle on the other hand ordered a bottles of 18k5 drink with Chinese and calamari, I just dey look dey shout wow for my mind
So we were talking while waiting for our order, that’s how this shameless 34 year old said that “I hope you know the bills are on you?” I just laughed it off thinking it was a joke cause he asked me on a date not the other way around
While we were eating, uncle was yanning me how he has a main girlfriend but he doesn’t love her anymore and he wants to start new with me and if I agree to date him he’s ready to get married in 5 months, blah blah blah, he’s serious about me, I look calm and collected
I look reasonable and responsible and he loves that I’m business oriented and independent, I just dey look am. Dears!! I say again! MEN WILL EMBARRASS YOU!
So we finished eating and the waiter came to clear our table and give us the bill (I had in mind to split it as I always offer) So I took the receipt and asked the waiter to bring the pos, me expecting the guy to also bring out his card as I had already put mine on the table
Uncle was just there pressing phone, bill was N33,500 My food cost N10,200 according to the bill, as I saw that the guy wasn’t even minding me and the waiter, I just pointed out with my finger the things on the list that I ate to the waiter and paid for my own food
And that was where the drama started I told him that he can’t expect me to pay for lunch that he offered to buy me cause it wasn’t in my budget, uncle now started with he forgot his atm card in the car…
That I should just pay for it, at this point the waiter was already being loud and I was getting irritated and embarrassed. I explained that I can’t do that as it wasn’t in my budget,
he was now like should he transfer to me so I can pay with my card? I agreed and gave my account details only for me to get credit if 3k in his name At this point I knew I was out with a clown, I was already so pissed and I couldn’t leave
I stood on my ground that I wasn’t going to pay because he was the one who invited me out, it was really embarrassing cause there were a group of coppers there and the whole thing was getting loud, he cash called someone and I think the person borrowed him money or something
But that’s not my business, obviously I was still expecting him to drop me back at home cause he came to pick me, we walked outside to the parking lot, got into the car, uncle started the car and asked me to come down and the drove off

When budding Nigerian singer/rap artiste, Kayode released “Confessions” in mid 2019, everyone pondered who this lad was, making music that more than half his demographic could relate with. He then went on to release “Pemi Lori Ago” and definitely, everyone wanted a piece of the lad who could make relatable music.
The multi-talented singer & rapper who also produces his own tracks has now dropped another single, “Side Guy” and as is his usual wont, the tune is definitely a relatable one.
Kayode’s nonpareil artistic dexterity is pronounced in “Side Guy” as the singer touches on the character of infamous noncommittal guys who’d never settle for the ‘boyfriend’ tag but are okay with being the side piece and the benefits that’s attached to it.
Relatable is certainly Kayode’s watchword when it comes to where he draws inspiration for his music from. A young lad who’s geared up to carve a niche for himself in the Afro music scene…his space is certainly to be watched out for.
Groovy and dynamic beat, impressive lyrical content and absolutely relatable… This. Is. SIDE GUY. Produced by Magicsticks.

His post reads ;
@FRSCNigeria Look at road safety officials, extorting my elder sister because she refused to part with 20k. Her offense was because she was rushing a pregnant woman that was in the throes of giving birth to the hospital.

They had to puncture her tire all in an attempt to stop her from taking the woman to the hospital. Is this what they are supposed to do on the roads?
She wasn’t speeding. They said the woman should have been on her seat belt and the lady told them she can’t use seatbelt as she is currently having severe cramps and rushing to the hospital. Is that enough reason for them to deflate her tires?

Nigerian Movie Maker and Evangelist, Mike Bamiloye, has stated the shocking reason some men want their wife dead.
According to him, some men want their wife to die so they can get married to another woman.
The filmmaker said the men realized they made the wrong choice getting married to their wife, and are looking for a change.
In his words ;
“Unfortunately, some married men are ENDURING their marriage instead of ENJOYING it, because the CONTENTOUS WIFE had made the home very unpleasant. I strongly believe that there are some of such men who would wish their wives would die off so that they can be free doctrinally speaking to marry another woman now with much caution. This is what the Bible means when it says “Better to live in a desert than with a nagging and a CONTENTIOUS wife” and in another portion, it says: It is better to go and live on the top of the roof corner than stay inside the house with a quarrelsome wife.
SURELY, THERE ARE MANY MEN WHO ARE LANGUISHING SECRETLY IN THE HAND OF CONTENTOUS, QUARELSOME AND NAGGING WIVES”.

The Lagos State Police has arrested a 24-year-old man identified as Daniel Chukwudiebele Okocha for stabbing his girlfriend Nkechi Vivian Agwor, to death over claims of her cheating on him.
Okocha who revealed that he watched his girlfriend die 45 minutes after stabbing her, committed the offence at their apartment in Egbeda area of Lagos. It was gathered that the couple got into a heated argument after the deceased insisted on going to church.
The argument degenerated into a fight after the suspect who felt his girlfriend had an “appointment” with another man who attends same church with her, refused allowing her to leave the house.
The suspect who was arrested at his hideout has already admitted culpability. A police officer who confirmed the arrest said;
“Daniel has confessed to the murder. He told us that he killed his lover, because he was suspecting that she was cheating on him.
“He told us that on the fateful day, Nkechi had told him that she was going to church, but he warned her to sit down at home as he suspected that she was having an appointment with another man who attends the same church with her.
“He said when Nkechi refused to obey him and insisted that she was going to the church, he picked a fight with her and stabbed her several times. We believe he was telling a cock and bull stories because the message he typed in the deceased phone showed that he had the intention of killing her.
“He wrote that he killed her and watched her die for 45 minutes. He went further to say, ‘I gave her life, but she refused to give me back’. With these statements, we are convinced that he planned and executed the killing.
“The irony of the whole thing is that the two of them are from the same town, Ubulu-Uku in Aniocha-South Local Government Area of Delta State. Preliminary investigation showed that though they had one child, but they were not legally married.
“We were told that the mother of the deceased is taking care of the child. We were told that the suspect was so possessive and jealous that at one time, he attempted to kill himself by drinking a poisonous substance, Snipper. We were told that it was the deceased that rushed him to the hospital where he was revived.
“After committing the dastardly act, Daniel took to his heels, but we extended our dragnets to all corners of the state. Our efforts paid off when he was picked up from his hideout in Lagos Island. The question we asked him was, where was he running to since the two of them came from the same town?”
The suspect is presently being drilled at the homicide section of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID), Panti, Yaba.
