First Lady, Aisha Buhari, has come under intense criticism on social media for voicing her support for the social media bill which seeks to arrest and fine Nigerians who make annoying comments on social media.
Aisha had at the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs General Assembly and National Executive Council in Abuja said China regulated the social media of its over one billion citizens and Nigeria should be able to control its own population which is about 200 million.
She said, “On this issue of social media, you cannot just sit in the comfort of your house and tweet that the Vice President has resigned. It is a serious issue. If China can control over 1.3 billion people on social media, I see no reason why Nigeria cannot attempt controlling only 180 million people.”
However, Mrs. Buhari, who had in the past been commended by a large section of Nigerians for standing on the side of the people, came under criticism for her view. On Saturday morning, the President’s wife was trending at number one on Twitter.
Some Nigerians recalled how they defended Aisha on social media when the President relegated her and said she belonged to the kitchen and the other room.
They also recalled how they defended her when Mamman Daura’s family were giving her a hard time at the Presidential Villa.
They argued that since China had become the democratic model for Nigeria, then Nigeria must also adopt China’s method of fighting corruption which involves sentencing corrupt public office holders to death.
@Zaddy_nomso tweeted, “Dear Aisha Buhari China also kills their corrupt politicians; we would love Nigeria to start practising that first.”
@DeLordEmperor wrote, “I agree with Aisha Buhari that China regulates TV. Aisha should also agree with China on the policy of hanging corrupt politicians. She should also agree with China on limiting the family members of their politicians from studying and living abroad.”
“China also executes corrupt politicians, Dear Aisha Buhari. If you want to control social media because China does, then you should want that too,” @BillAchusim tweeted.
@viva_mazcot tweeted, “Maybe Aisha Buhari is not aware China is practising communism. I was wrong to assume she’s educated enough to understand how democracy works.
Her recent call for regulation of social media reveals her concealed love for tyranny. Can’t she propose death penalty for corrupt politicians?”

Every 2nd of December is a reminder that God gave me a second chance to life to be a better version of me.
Two years ago in Denmark , I saw my life flash right in front of me as death came calling but God wasn’t done with me here on earth.
We came out of this wreck without a scratch on our bodies even though this car flipped many times on that beautiful Saturday morning with my soul sister Dora @dido_7.
It can only be God’s grace and mercy that kept us alive.
It will be a day I will forever remember as my rebirth and why my heart will always be filled with gratitude for his mercies.
Lord I am humbled and grateful for another year or day I get to live and remember your grace on this faithful day. May your name for ever be on my lips till the day I take my last breath.
Thank you Lord.
Please remember me in your prayers and thank our creator for me

Big Brother Naija, Pepper Dem Edition 1st runner up, Mike Edwards, shared some tips on how married men can remain faithful to their wives.
According to him, these tips have helped him remain faithful to his wife, Perri.
He wrote;
How do you stay faithful? I get asked this question a lot lately and despite the obvious reason of falling in love with the most incredible woman whom I get to call wife @itspsd . I figure I’d write my answer here for what it’s worth.
.
.
Well, my answer is strength no weakness. A man with no self discipline will fall weak and lead astray, having the discipline and respect for yourself and significant other becomes a habit, and with time habit becomes second nature.
.
.
I would also say that sacrifice is a vital part of what has helped me. The key is you have to be able to sacrifice who you are, (ex. old habits) for who you’ll become, don’t be afraid of taking the road less traveled in the process. Hint: Find yourself spiritually. ??
.
.
.
Lastly, your environment. I believe in the saying you are the company you keep. My advice is surround yourself with people who have similar standards and family values as you.
Simple ❤️

I respect artists that understand their craft well enough, their fame will always go far. Prior to then, I had always wanted to work with Ramsey Nouah, having watched him as a kid while growing up.

“But the issue changed the way people looked at my dad because they didn’t know that we were educated, we could speak English, and we could dress. So it changed a few things for good. It showed another light. People then understood that in the North not everybody is illiterate.
“The 2015 elections went well. After 100 days, then the blow started coming. ‘Zahra your father did this… Zahra your father did that. But seriously, am I in office with him? Do I take any vital decision?

Nigerian Big Man, Mompha, was granted bail by a federal high court, yesterday and he was celebrated on social media by some celebrities.
However it seems that same energy has not been kept for two other embattled Nigerians in the persons of Allen Onyeama and Omoyele Sowore.
Last week, Allen Onyema, the chairman of Air Peace Limited, was indicted by the United States government on November 19 on charges stemming from an alleged $21 million fraud.
While others are claiming Mr Onyema’s popular repatriation of Nigerians stranded in South Africa amidst deadly xenophobic attacks in September didn’t go down well with some ‘evil minded’ Nigerians, yet no celebrity is speaking out for him.
News of Allen’s arrest elicited an instant chain of conspiracy theories specifically targeted at exonerating the accused by stoking fragments of political, religious and ethnic division, some even say it was also politically-motivated.
For Sowore who has been in custody for months for planning to stage a revolution, only few celebrities spoke out on his behalf.
However, yesterday, the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos granted N100m bail to, Ismaila Mustapha, aka Mompha, over alleged N33billion fraud.
The EFCC had arrested him on October 19, 2019, at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja. He was remanded in the commission’s custody following a court order.
And guess what our Nigerian celebrities are jubilating already and celebrating the alleged fraudster because …..well you know why!
Actress Nkechi Blessing, on hearing news of Mompha’s bail, quickly took to her social media space to write ;
“Freedom at last.. to those that bashed me earlier and some even said he will die in prison..are you GOD? Pray you don’t find urself in such situation…Aiye Toto Aiye Akamara,But Las las God Win”.
While Bobrisky, and some others couldn’t hide their excitement as they were over the moon for his release.
Popular Ghanaian gospel musician, Stella Aba Seal, has made a controversial statement saying men should be allowed to marry two wives as long as they can take care of them.
Speaking in an interview with Becky on E with Becks, Stella said a polygamous marriage will help reduce the high rate of adultery on the part of men and women.
According to the gospel singer:
”If a married man is responsible and I’m his first wife and he wants to marry another wife and he can take care of both of us…I don’t have a problem with that.
If you think you love the woman enough, do the needful or fix your marriage. I speak to ladies who tell me they have four to six boyfriends just because they don’t know who will give them security.
