“If you can barely feed yourself, please don’t bring a child to this world. That’s the height of irresponsibility. A baby won’t understand that you don’t have money. Your wife, family and friends may understand that but a baby won’t. Have a source of income before procreating.”

A Nigerian legal counselor, Inibehe Effiong has revealed why he can’t petition God for Nigeria and its leaders. As indicated by him, the issue of the nation isn’t profound, consequently no need offering supplications for its benefit.
Mr. Effiong said the difficulties being faced in the country today is because the people keep electing leaders based on tribe and religion.
His words ;
“After voting incompetent leaders, Nigerians resort to calling on God & Allah for food, jobs, education, security & shelter,”
“We can’t have it both ways. The problems of Nigeria are not spiritual. It is leadership and followership. We will continue to suffer until we do what is right.
“I can’t pray for Nigeria/Nigerian leaders. Nigerian problems are not spiritual. Prayers/fasting will not give us good governance. With all the prominent Christian/Islamic leaders that we have in this country, nothing has changed. Churches/Mosques everywhere but no development,”

UN Deputy Secretary-General, Amina Mohammed while speaking at the Mo Ibrahim governance weekend in Abidjan, has revealed that a woman will replace President Buhari in 2023.
The former Minister of Environment and UN Deputy Secretary-General who was asked when Nigeria will have a female president, said in response that by 2023, a woman will replace President Buhari. She replied by saying: “2023, Insha Allah”.
When asked if she would be running, she said: “Look, all of my life has been as a public servant and as one that serves, so that is not a problem for me.
“But let me be truthful here, I have always thought that I am appointable and not electable. I think the political system that we have in our country, I believe in democracy, but I think the model for us, where we are is an incredibly difficult environment to say you would come to office through the will of the people.
“I think the manipulation of democracy is a very serious issue in our countries. We have a population, as I said, has a level of literacy that can be manipulated, that is not right.

A former bridesmaid has taken to a Facebook group to give the narrative of the shocking encounter she had with her friend, a bride-to-be named Kate, and people have been left horrified by the story.
The lady said her friend was upset that she was pregnant and she told her to have an abortion so that she wouldn’t complicate things at the wedding.
The pregnant bridesmaid said in the post that she was preparing to be a bridesmaid for her friend, Kate who was very keen to have a child-free wedding. But things quickly went south when she found out she was pregnant.
She wrote:
So about a year before the wedding, I found out I was pregnant.
I was always told I couldn’t have kids and so obviously my daughter was not planned but I was over the moon. So I told Kate, expecting excitement, right? Nope.
She immediately told me that I was going to be so stressed trying to get my bridesmaid dress fitting on my own since I’d have to do it after everyone already had theirs (I was due in April, wedding was in June).
She reminded me that it was a kid free wedding, and then after thoroughly explaining how difficult her wedding would be for me, she said (verbatim) ‘So don’t you think it might be better for you to have an abortion?’
The bridesmaid added:
I asked if she seriously just suggested I get an abortion to make her wedding go more smoothly. She told me I was ruining my life and then called her mom on me to have an aborrtion.
Added bonus, one of her friends that I was friendly-ish with texted me later on to ask if I had aborted because if I had a baby at 21 he could never date me and he really saw a future for us.
The bridesmaid said she didn’t bother attending the wedding and hasn’t spoken to Kate since then.
Below is a screenshot of the message she got from the self-centred bride after she welcomed her baby.

Nollywood actor, Uche Maduagwu has revealed why he believes actress Funke Akindele will never go unclad on social media or in a movie.
In a post he shared on social media, Uche Maduagwu based his reasons on the fact that she’s a responsible person and also a mother whom youngsters need to emulate.
He shared:
“funke Akindele will never go NUDE for any photoshoot because she is more RESPONSIBLE than you. Sometimes, I just feel some “drama queen” celebrities have let the YOUTH in this country down with their sudden and irresponsible display of “NUDITY” on social media. But the question on my mind has always been this, why can’t these “radical for attention” crop of female celebrities emulate a great LEGEND like my sister funke Akindele? She is happily married, TALENTED, successful, and above all, a great MOTHER, not like those who INSULT the father of their child in public. Why can’t they learn to be RESPONSIBLE like her? In Africa, whenever a woman goes NUDE in public, it shows her level of STUPIDITY and the depth of her inferiority complex, but these shameless celebrities have refused to act like the JESUS they claim to PREACH, well, how can they act like Jesus, when they can’t even emulate someone as VIRTUOUS, responsible and well behaved like funke Akindele in Nollywood.”
HBO Series, Game Of Thrones star, Emilia Clarke, took the world by surprise after she revealed she had just finished filming the first series of Game of Thrones when she suffered a devastating brain haemorrhage that left her in intensive care.
She managed to get back to work, filming other seasons of the show and putting on a brave face while going in and out the of hospital.
Her story came as a shock to most people because she hid it so well and bravely carried on.
She has now shared candid snaps from the hospital during her recovery from her first brain aneurysm which occurred when she was just 24.
Emilia, now 32, showed the images during an interview on America’s CBS Sunday Morning, and spoke openly about how she bounced back from the ordeal.
She was diagnosed with a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a life-threatening type of stroke, which was caused by a brain aneurysm.
After spending five days in intensive care, Emilia managed to recover and go back to work, but had to undergo a second brain surgery in 2013, which failed and she suffered a brain bleed that nearly killed her. It meant she had to go under the knife for a third time for another life-saving operation.
Emilia survived by she says that she lost hope after the second brain bleed.
She told CBS Sunday Morning:
“In my worst moments, I wanted to pull the plug. I asked the medical staff to let me die. My job – my entire dream of what my life would be- centred on language, on communication. Without that, I was lost.”
However, she managed to recover and felt that going back to Game of Thrones to play warrior queen Daenerys Targaryen helped put her back in a more positive frame of mind.
She explained:
“You go on the set, and you play a badass character, and you walk through fire, and you speak to hundreds of people, and you’re being asked to be – to work as hard as you possibly can. And that became the thing that just saved me from considering my own mortality, yeah.”

“You are an honourable man who has bleached your skin, trimmed your hair; you have done waves and the ladies say you’re handsome; hey fine boy, you are not above judgment.
Opambour added:
“You’re also a man, all the women say your penis is big; women are praising you because of your penis, women are buying you cars, because of your penis women are even buying you clothes; I’m telling you that your big penis can’t take you to heaven so repent”.
A Nigerian man simply identified as Alloy, has lost his life after his wife allegedly hired thugs to beat him for slapping her.
This was according to a narration by a man identified as Bernard Ufuoma, who is a friend to the deceased.
Read the story below:
My friend and Pharmacist allegedly killed by the wife.
Alloy my amiable friend and health provider is dead. I met Alloy in 2009 when I moved to the Oyigbo Expressway axis of Port Harcourt and we were friends at first sight. Alloy is from Eheme Mbano and the owner of the biggest pharmacy at the Oyigbo Expressway axis.
I can remember vividly our first day of meeting. I had a stubborn cough and have been to the Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital but was still coughing. Alloy listened to the dry irritating cough and prescribed Beehive Honey cough syrup and some antibiotics and I was relieved.
Alloy and I became friends and over the years I bought my drugs and toiletries from him and we hanged out with a bottle of wine and pepper soup from time to time.
Alloy is blessed with an affable wife and four beautiful kids. He’s quite comfortable and travels abroad several times a year for fun and business.
Trouble started when Alloy’s older sister had accommodation crisis and she had to move in with the Alloys. Alloy’s wife vehemently refused that the sister stay in the guest house. Alloy’s house is a three bedroom bungalow with a two bedroom guest house behind.
The guest house is vacant but his wife insisted that the sister and kids should keep their properties there but sleep in the sitting room of the bungalow. Alloy pleaded with her to allow the sister stay in the guest house but the wife refused insisting that staying in the guest house would make her stay permanently with them and that sleeping in the living room will make her aware she’s a guest.
Alloy registered the wife in a gym as she was getting out of shape and the schedule was three days in a week. Since January this year she goes to the gym daily. This is a woman Alloy bought a 2013 Toyota Corolla sedan for and gives a handsome monthly allowance.
She lacks for nothing. Monday to Saturday she’ll never be at home obviously staying away from the house because of Alloy’s older sister. Alloy had gotten an estate agent to look for a two bedroom apartment for her.
Anyway on April 1st Alloy went to the gym to see her personal trainer and asked why the change of schedule and why the wife will be at the gym six days in the week. The gym management denied any change of schedule and insisted that she only comes to the gym three days a week.
When Alloy got home he confronted his wife.
” I was at the gym today and I was told you only go there three days in a week. Why are you lying? Why do you go the other days?”
“So, it has reached this stage where you are monitoring me?” the wife shot back.
“Tell me what’s happening or are you cheating on me?” Alloy angrily demanded.
“You’re calling me a harlot abi? You yeye man”.
The wife lurched at Alloy and held him in the neck and Alloy wriggled himself out of her grip and slapped her. Immediately Alloy knelt down begging her.
“I’m sorry for slapping you. In twelve years of marriage I have never hit you. You were choking me and I was losing my breath. Abeg.”
“I’ll never forgive you. Useless man. I’ll deal with you. You’ll know I’m an Umuahia woman”.
Alloy’s older sister and Alloy’s pastor from Redeemed Church were called by Alloy to beg her but she was still fuming and baying for blood.
The next day as Alloy was driving to the gate of his compound at about 6pm in the evening four young men intercepted him and dragged him out of his Toyota Prado SUV and one of them said, “So, you are not afraid. You beat up our sister. We’ll deal with you.”
The four miscreants beat Alloy black and blue. They kicked him in the ribs and groin. At the screams of Alloy neighbors ran to the scene and the criminals fled. Alloy was rushed to the hospital and given treatment and discharged from the hospital around 10pm same day.
Alloy called me the next day and I drove down to see him at the pharmacy and he narrated the ordeal he suffered at the hands of the hoodlums the previous day. He wasn’t looking too good but I never feared that the beatings he received would be fatal.
This morning Alloy woke up with a headache and a cough producing blood. He drove himself to the hospital. After a series of tests internal bleeding was diagnosed. Surgery was recommended but before he could be taken to the theater for anaesthesia and shaving he slumped and died exactly 3:36pm.
Alloy is dead.
*The wife has been arrested and handcuffed by the police and investigations have commenced into the death of Alloy.
Nigerian singer, Wizkid is outchea, in the prime of his career, living his best life and oh! performing at the 02 in London alongside rapper, Drake.
The Canadian rapper introduced Wizkid to the stage during his O2 performance on Friday night – they both performed Wizkid’s song, “Come Closer” and Wizkid also performed hit song “Soco”.
For a while, people had actually questioned Wizkid’s relationship with the rapper as fans were only accustomed to their songs together but not actually seeing them – physically – together.
Apparently, this puts an abrupt stop to the ridicule that the singer have been facing for a while. Watch the video below,
