A Nigerian woman with four children has tragically lost her life after enduring years of domestic abuse at the hands of her husband.
A Facebook user, Amarachi Iwuala, who shared the heart-wrenching incident online, revealed that the husband had allegedly subjected his wife to domestic abuse for years.
She said the husband once beat his wife to the point that she fainted and had to be rushed to the hospital before she was resuscitated.
Despite the abuse, the woman chose to remain in the marriage, primarily for the sake of her four children, including a seven-month-old baby, whom she wanted to grow before leaving. Amarachi claimed that the deceased’s mother even advised her to leave, but she refused.
Regrettably, on Thursday, November 2, her husband once again beat her to pulp, and tragically, she went to bed that night and did not wake up again.
Taking to Facebook, Amarachi wrote;
“Another woman gone.
She was married to a man who was viôlent towards her. Not just viôlent, he would lock doors and windows, raise music volume, and then start béating her, so that help won’t come for her.
One day he béat her till she was unconscious, the whole compound joined in rushing her to the hospital. After treatment, she came back to the same house.
People advised her to leave, she said her children were still little, she wanted them to grow a bit before she leaves. She wanted them to grow yet she was giving birth to more. She had four children, the last one is just 7 months old.
Two weeks ago, an old woman living in their compound called this lady’s mother, asking her to come take her daughter if they still want her alive. The mother replied that the lady said she’s not leaving.
This is why it’s good to have some weyrey as a mother. Even if she doesn’t want to leave, use vawulence and bring her out by force. O dighi apu àra.
Back to the story. Two days ago, that is Thursday 2nd November 2023, they woke up in the morning to hear the man béating the woman as usual.
After the béating, normal life continued. They said that night, the lady went about her normal chores, she stayed up till 11pm wasting and hanging cloths. Neighbors saw her.
They all woke up yesterday morning only to hear that the lady is déad. How?
The husband is saying he slept in the sitting room while she slept in the bedroom, that he only entered the room in the morning and found her dead.
Neighbors said her bed was soaked with water though, and there’s still no explanation for that.
The husband is saying she should be buried immediately as he doesn’t have money to pay mortuary bills.
The sad part, her father heard the news and had a heart attack, she was his only daughter. He was rushed to hospital, but news has it that he didn’t make it.
Her 7month old baby cried the whole day and refused to eat every food that was offered her, she was looking for breast milk. She cried till she started running temperature.
See how many lives have been affected by her choices.
Four children rendered motherless. Only God knows what their fate will be, they’ll probably be shared amongst relatives who may/may not treat them well.
I know all these because we have a mutual friend who was at their place yesterday to get first hand info. She was crying bitterly on phone while speaking to me, I told her to stop crying, the lady chose this.
The husband cannot even be held responsible. Police came, asked him questions and left.
We keep writing daily for women to learn, but some are determined to waste their lives.
Someone in an abûsive marriage will read this post and say “it’s not my portion”, and keep staying in the marriage.
Like I’ll always say, we can’t help everybody. Keep staying, keep waiting for your children to grow up, keep thinking of what society will say, keep thinking of how you’ll survive, keep thinking if you’ll find another man, keep thinking the children need a father, keep hoping he’ll change. Just keep at it, since you have no value for the life you have.”

I thought this was the one!’ God be like, ‘Oh that’s what you thought? I got the goods for you.’ It happened in my career when someone offered me a show and I was like, ‘This is it!’ and then the show went to nowhere. I got borderline depressed.

My house painting was changed for almost two years and I didn’t notice. That was when I realised that I need to take a step back and be will my family. Family over everything.”

Popular media personality, Bolanle Olukanni has taken to social media to share her thoughts regarding the place of sex in love relationships.
Bolanle, a strong advocate for abstinence, discussed its value and highlighted how everything was complicated by sex.
In a series of tweets, she emphasised that having sex may strain relationships and make it more difficult to see things clearly and make intelligent decisions.
She disputes the notion that having sex is only a lighthearted act, contending that the true purpose of the encounter is to deepen your relationship with the person you are really in love with.
Despite the common misconception among young people today that sex is “just sex,” Bolanle pointed out that sex involves much more than just physical closeness.
According to her, they have a close relationship that shouldn’t be overlooked or underestimated.
Bolanle also discussed her own experience with abstinence, claiming that it allows her to make more rapid and logical judgements in her relationships.
She added that she finds that it fosters a better sense of connection to shift the focus from in-person interactions to meaningful talks and character assessments.
She wrote:
“Sex complicates everything. You can’t see clearly and you can’t make decisions properly. It was created to bond you to a person. Convince yourself allll you want that it is just sex. It’s not and will never be.
I make relationship decisions quick because my mind is clear. I can see the person for who they are early on in the relationship.
Sex isn’t distracting us. It’s about conversation, how do they treat me, what’s their character. These are the things that last!
I love myself too much to short change myself. And no one will ever convince me otherwise. With the wisdom of God and guidance of the Holy Spirit I know this the right way to do this.
When I tell people that abstinence is way to go when you are getting to know someone. They think I’m crazy. It’s not me that will be deceived because of my hormones. Sweetie you ain’t in love you are just horny.”
Speculations that the late Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad, didn’t officially marry his wife, Wunmi, before his death have been put to rest after their wedding photos and a video were shared online.

Big Brother Naija ‘Level-Up’ winner, Josephine Otabor, better known as Phyna, has retracted her earlier statement in which she claimed that there is no woman who hasn’t had an abortion.
She made this controversial statement during an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo a few months ago.
This statement didn’t sit well with many social media users, especially women, who criticized her for generalizing that every woman has terminated a pregnancy.
However, she initially maintained her stance, even suggesting that women who use contraceptives are no different from those who have had abortions, and that only virgins are innocent.
These statements led to further backlash on social media, prompting her to issue an official statement to address the situation on Friday, November 3.
In the statement, she clarified that she was misunderstood and didn’t intend to generalize. She also emphasized that she would never encourage abortion and is currently working with NGOs to raise awareness about the topic.
It’s worth noting that during her time in the BBNaija house, Phyna admitted to terminating two pregnancies at the ages of 19 and 24.
Her statement reads,
“Good day to all and sundry,
I am Josephina Otabor pka Phyna and I write this statement to address the issues concerning an interview I did months ago where I talked about a very sensitive topic and I inaccurately suggested
“all” women have engaged in it.
Firstly, I will like to address the fact that in as much as I was misunderstood, I didn’t mean to project it on every female gender. I will never encourage abortion especially not in this part of the world, where it can pose a great threat to the life of the person with the illegal and unhealthy procedures that surround it. I admit that I was being too expressive in the heat of the interview hence my assertions.
I will reiterate that abortion is not a thing I stand for and I should not be seen in that light and I admit to all mistakes made.
In addition, l’m currently working with gender-based organisations and NGOs to provide sensitization, education about abortion and other societal issues prone to the girl child.
I want to use this medium to thank my fans, friends and family for their constant love and support, I do not intend to let you down.

The suspect, identified as 19-year-old Cuane Malaquias, reportedly smuggled the newborn, named Ravi Cunha, into a duffle bag before fleeing to her home in the Favela of Morro do Borel, located five miles away.
The mother of the child, Nívea Rabelo, woke up around 2 a.m. to find her precious son missing.

It’s because of people like you people get damaged in this relationship thing…

Cristiano Ronaldo’s sister, Katia Aveiro, has seemingly taken a dig at Lionel Messifollowing his Ballon d’Or win last weekend.
Messi secured his eighth Ballon d’Or trophy after leading Argentina to victory in the 2022 Qatar World Cup. This accomplishment put him three Ballon d’Or wins ahead of his longtime rival Ronaldo, who has five to his name.
While many celebrated Messi’s achievement, some questioned whether he truly deserved the award.
Amid the ongoing debate, Katia Aveiro, aged 46, seems to have expressed agreement with a post stating that Ronaldo earned all his awards, subtly taking a jab at Messi following his recent win.
The post, shared on Instagram, showed Ronaldo, 38, posing with his numerous awards, which included three UEFA Men’s Player of the Year awards, four European Golden Shoes, and five Ballon d’Ors.
The post was captioned, “Earned, not given”. Interestingly, Aveiro liked the post and added five clapping emojis.
See below,
This isn’t the first time Aveiro has engaged in the never ending debate in modern football.
Last year, she took to social media to describe the World Cup as ‘the worst ever’. She, however, later made a U-turn, acknowledging the quality of the final match and congratulated Argentina.
Earlier, Aveiro had encouraged Ronaldo to leave the World Cup and return home to a place where he is appreciated after he was benched during Portugal’s match.
A Nigerian man has been left stranded and facing possible deportation after his wife took their kids and abandoned him at an airport in the UK.
A user with the handle @Jayydubby shared the man’s plight on the ‘Nigerians in the UK’ community on the microblogging platform, X (formerly Twitter).
According to the user, the man sold all his belongings to sponsor his wife’s relocation to the UK for study in 2022, with the intention of joining her later with their children as her dependents.
Upon their arrival in the UK in October, he received a huge shock when his wife took the kids and their passports, and told him that their marriage was over.
Sadly, the young man now finds himself stranded without a job or means to stay in the UK. He has been given until January 2024 to leave the country, or he will be deported.
The post reads,
“Hello everyone,
A family friend of mine is in urgent need of a job with sponsorship. Last month, he arrived in the UK with his children as dependents and his wife went to pick them up at the airport and asked to see their children’s passports, which he handed over without any suspicion. She then told him that their marriage was over and wanted nothing to do with him. She took their children and abandoned him at the airport. He just come to the UK for the first time to join his wife, who came last year to study. He helped pay her fees and sold off everything he had to join her.
Today, the Home Office sent him a letter saying that he has until 1st of January, to return to Nigeria. He has nothing to go back to and may never see his children again.
I am pleading with anyone who can help him with a job referral so that he can stay and fight for his children. If you know of any job openings or can put him in touch with someone who might be able to help, please reach out to me. I would be incredibly grateful. 🙏🏼😥”
Popular Nigerian singer, Victor AD has finally opened up about the events that followed rumours that he was the writer of Davido’s popular song “Jowo.”
Recall that a while back, claims went viral on social media that Victor AD claimed Davido had stolen his hit song “Jowo” from him in a studio session.
See below,
Victor AD, however, disclosed that Davido had questioned him about why he would say such a thing when the accusations began to circulate but he denied being the source of the rumours.
The Warri-born music singer confirmed that he didn’t write the song, as was widely believed in a recent interview with Naija FM, Lagos.
The ‘Tyre You’ crooner claims that his connection with the DMW chief was nearly destroyed by fake reports found on blogs.
He said:
“From nowhere, someone speculating that Victor AD wrote [Davido’s] ‘Jowo.’ I’m not social media-savvy. Most times, before I notice happenings on social media, it would be two days after the matter has trended.
My manager actually called my attention to the ‘Jowo’ controversy on social media but I didn’t take it seriously. Later on, I said let me just check the trend on social media. Then a few hours later, I saw Davido’s message. He was like, ‘Whatsup na? Wettin dey sup with this whole ‘Jowo’ thing?’. And I said I didn’t know anything about it.
I told him that based on the love and respect I have for him I can’t do something that will tarnish his image. I’m not even the type of person that will claim what I’m not. Why would I be seeking credit for what I didn’t do?”
Celebrity stylist, Toyin Lawani’s husband, Segun Wealth, has shocked netizens as he promised to share his personal films on his birthday.
The celebrity photographer created a ‘to-do list’ of things he intends to accomplish in anticipation of his birthday coming up on November 11th.
On his list, Segun joked about releasing his private videos and photos online.
He went on to say that he would visit the internet to give people advice and to weep at how evil and unrepentant people are.
His list read:

Come online to cry and accuse someone for it crying must be emotional and non stop).
Come online to talk about how it happened.
Come online to advice people.
Mistakenly release my nudes ( clean shave with oiled skin).
Come back online to cry that people are wicked and non repentant.
Release another sex tape with good performance. By this time should have become a celebrity and move on with and move on with a fake lifestyle till make it (good job).”
Reacting to his list, Toyin Lawani wrote: “Finally I accept you are madt. You didn’t put that you will drag me. You are not ready to trend your birthday but pls don’t forget always attach it to your music and photography as always.”
A video which was shared online and is currently trending has gotten a flurry of comments from internet users.
The video shows a young lady tearing up while expressing the stress and exhaustion of living and working in Lagos.
Using herself as an example, she described the time she wakes up to prepare and go to work and when she returns.
The video which was posted with the caption “Going to work in Lagos knowing you got home at 11pm yesterday, slept at 12:30am and leaving the house at 4:30am” had internet users reacting differently.
While some could relate to her experience, others advised her by saying ‘Lagos is not for the weak‘.
Below are some of the reactions from netizens;
No need doing a job that puts u in tears every morning. Quit and look for something that will bring u joy. Learn to live not exist
You should be grateful others are having a worst kind of shift. However, it’s draining and I understand. One day at a time…
That’s Lagos in summary. A very tough place indeed if you work on the island and live on the mainland.
Ohh sorry! That is Lagos life for you, state of hustling
Lagos is the city that never sleeps!! Lagos be like New York
