A Nigerian man has shared his experience with his neighbors who refused to contribute money for petrol, despite the recent increase in fuel price.
@Kelz_Realist, in a series of tweets, said he lives in Mowe, a border community between Ogun and Lagos state and works in Ikeja, Lagos state. He said his neighbors also work in Ikeja so he gives them a lift to and from work daily to ease their movement.
However, in light of the recent increase in petrol pump price due to the removal of fuel subsidy, he suggested that his neighbors start paying a token to relieve his financial burden, but they declined.
This didn’t sit well with him as he believed they were taking advantage of him, so he decided to stop giving them a lift. According to him, they eventually came begging after paying heavily on public transportation but he had already found a new group of passengers.
Read his full tweet below,
“I usually give some of my neighbours free ride from Mowe to Berger to and fro work.
I work at Bank Anthony way Ikeja and some of them work at computer Village, Allen and Opebi.
For the past eight months, I’ve been giving them free ride daily without collecting a dime from them.
When my former car broke down, they didn’t contribute a dime to help me fix it. I fixed it myself, got frustrated and sold it and bought a new car. That period, they find their way themselves
Immediately they saw I’ve bought another car, thru came back for their free ride again.
When Subsidy was removed, I have them a free ride for two days coz I still had fuel which I bought with the old price.
The day I filled up my tank, I cried coz it drained me.
I had to tell them that going forward, they’d need to start paying for the ride to and fro.
Two of the ladies said they can’t because we are neighbours and it doesn’t make sense for them to be paying for ride…
The guys said they’d pay N500 daily from Mowe to Berger.
I told them no problem.
The following day, I left very early without waiting for them
I picked 6 passengers going to Berger for N500 each. They were all excited and were praying for me coz I charged them very low. They said Mowe to Berger is now N700/N800.
When they realise I was going to Ikeja, they added extra N200 and collected my number so I can be picking them daily.
Yesterday, my neighbours gathered at my house to negotiate with me. I told them I’ve gotten new customers I now carry to and fro work daily.
On each person now, I make N1400 x 6 = N8400. This has covered my fuel to work daily plus small money for breakfast.”

A trending report alleging that Nigerian chef Hilda Baci is charging N25,000 for a meet-and-greet event in Abuja has triggered reactions from Nigerians online.
A flier promoting the alleged event, which includes a live cooking and food tasting session, surfaced on the internet on Friday and sparked massive reactions, bringing her to the Twitter trend table.
In response, social media commentator Daniel Regha criticized Hilda, saying,“Hilda Bacis is nothing without Nigerians. If the masses didn’t support and get her trending, many celebs wouldn’t show up to fake hype her Cookathon. It’s a sad but honest truth. Her meet and greet should be free as a way to show appreciation. Charging N25k (if true) is ridiculous.”
See more reactions as you scroll.
However, Hilda, who recently broke the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking time by an individual, has now debunked the report as false.
Taking to her Twitter handle, she wrote, “Hi everyone, this is to inform everyone that I’m not doing any meet and greet in Abuja. I would also never ask anyone to pay for such. Thanks.”
When a Twitter user claimed that the tweet was just damage control in response to the reactions the alleged event triggered, Hilda responded;
“@CryptofixPro If I didn’t come out to say something, y’all would say I let them scam people. Now I’ve come out to let you know it’s not coming from me. It’s damage control How would I do a meet and greet that I’m charging for and not post it on any of my social media platforms?”

Sensational Nigerian singer, Simisola Kosoko, better known as Simi, has shared her recent ordeal at an immigration office in Lagos.
The mother of one revealed that she was almost denied entry into the passport office because of her outfit, which they claimed was too short.
According to her, one of the immigration officers refused to let her in and told her to return home to change to a longer dress before she could be allowed in.

She said,
“I went to the passport office to get my passport done and when I reached the gate, they said I should go back because I am indecently dressed.“
I look myself up to down, and asked, can you see anything in my body that is indecent? He said he cannot see, but I should go back and wear something more ‘down’.”

According to him, Mr Eazi is the richest person he has ever met in his life, stating that he is not only rich money-wise but has abundant resources.

“The richest person I have ever met is Mr Eazi. My perception is that he has money. It’s not even just having money, he has resources.
“I have met Davido. I call David ‘Richest’. If he hears ‘Richest’, he knows that it is Small Doctor. David is ‘Richest’ but Eazi is the richest person I have ever met.”

According to her, she dedicated a whole year to preaching the word of God in her neighborhood.
She disclosed this in a recent interview with media personality Innih Emah.
Caroline mentioned that during that period, she didn’t wear makeup or artificial hair and nails.
“No [artificial] hair, no makeup, no fingernails, no toes. I did all of that. And I was even evangelizing outside Farm City. From 10 o’clock to 1 o’clock, I would carry my Bible and go out to win souls for Christ. That was in 2018-2019.” She said.
Speaking further, Caroline expressed her passion for becoming a gospel minister and noted that she would love to be a praise leader one day.

The 35-year-old actress, who acknowledged that her marriage ended in 2016 due to some “irreconcilable differences,” noted that she wouldn’t have left her marriage if she had the experience she has now.
Her words,
“They were just some irreconcilable differences that if I was of this age and the experience I have now, I think I would have handled it better.
“He [Musa] would always be the love of my life. He is the father of my three children. He is the one I said, you know what? this man is worth being my husband. So, yes, he would always remain the love of my life and that would not change.
“I would love to marry again whether it’s my ex-husband or a new amazing man that God sent, I would want to have a family. Yes, I would love to go back to him [my ex-husband] or if God says, this is the man you are going to marry. I just want peace of mind and happiness. As I get older, I just want someone that I can build with and I can have peace of mind with. Peace of mind is more valuable than money.”
Grammy-award winning Nigerian singer, Burna Boy, has seemingly reacted after his colleague, Davido, classified him as a “new cat.”
The 30BG boss caused a buzz on the internet on Thursday when, in an interview, he referred to Burna Boy as a new cat, a term many believe represents up-and-coming artists.
During the interview with Brut, Davido stated that he and Wizkid were the pioneer artists who paved the way for the global recognition and popularity of Afrobeat music, before artists like “Burna Boy, Rema, Asake,” whom he referred to as “new cats,” entered the scene.
“Everybody knows that I was one of the first, along with Wizkid, to blow up. It feels good to see the new cats coming up, like Burna Boy, Rema, Fireboy, Asake, and Mayorkun,” he said.
While the term “new cat” sparked a debate about the array of stars in the Nigerian music industry on social media, Burna Boy appeared unfazed.
Amidst the buzz, Burna Boy shared photos from his record-breaking London concert on his Instagram page. In the caption, he noted that his goal is to leave an impact that will last for eternity.
“Uniting people from all walks of life has always been my dream. London, thank you for making it possible for me at my biggest show to date! Shout out to my family @theuglygram @santandave @popcaanmusic and Stormzy We’re Leaving an Impact for Eternity. Love, Damini.” He wrote.
Burna’s post, which fans speculate is a reply to Davido’s “new cat” comment, has further elicited reactions from fans and followers.

“Dear Caleb and Rose, 30 years after, the Lord has extended your lineage Thank you Jesus. Thank you,” “This one that you have done God, I will shout off your goodness till eternity,” she wrote.
Nissi, the sister of popular Nigerian singer, Burna Boy, has taken a swipe at his colleague, Davido, for calling her brother a “new cat” in the industry.
It will be recalled that Davido caused a huge stir after he said he and Wizkid paved the way for the global recognition and popularity of Afrobeat music before other artists he referred to as “new cats” got onboard.
He added that Grammy-award winning singer, Burna Boy, and other new-school artistes including Rema, Fireboy, Asake, and Mayorkun, are beneficiaries of the foundation that he and Wizkid laid down in their earlier years.
His words, “Everybody knows now. I was one of the first. I and Wizkid were one of the first young artists to blow up and it feels good seeing new cats like Burna Boy, Rema, Fireboy, Mayorkun, you know a lot of new cats coming, killing it, Asake who was on my album.
“So, yes, I think the future of Afrobeat is in good hands.”
His statement sparked a huge buzz on the internet, triggering a debate about how long Burna Boy has been in the music industry and whether it is appropriate to label him as a “new artiste.”
In an apparent reaction to the ‘new cat’ discourse, Burna Boy’s sister Nissi took to her Instastory to share a video from one of her brother’s sold-out concerts abroad and captioned it, “New cats are facing their hustle.”

A Nigerian woman, Hazel Ajuamiwe, has taken to social media to call out her ex-husband for being ashamed to show her off on social media and to his friends.
Hazel, in a lengthy post on Facebook, recounted how her ex-husband mistreated and belittled her, stating that she was not up to the standard of women he had dated in the past.
According to Hazel, her ex-partner constantly compareed her dressing and physical appearance to his ex-girlfriends, and wanted her to wear makeup all the time to ‘level up’.
He even accused her of using diabolic means to get him to marry her because he claimed not to understand how he married her, and was unnecassarily mean to her while she was pregnant.
Sadly, his hurtful words took a toll on her self-esteem and self-worth, causing her to become a shadow of herself. She eventually made the difficult decision to leave the marriage after only seven months.
She wrote;
“This is one of the many pictures that never got posted because he wanted to maintain his single status on Facebook but claimed that it was for security reasons and he wanted us to maintain our privacy.
“I am a very private person; so I believed him until I realized that we were not on the same page.
Besides marrying me for selfish reasons; he was ashamed of me…a whole spec like me
He constantly told me how his exes looked and would randomly post their pictures and talk about their skin and how he wanted me to look better so when they see me, they’d know that he upgraded.
He ridiculed my dressing and wanted me to wear makeup for every outing; no matter how brief. In his words, ‘I don’t want you to give me any reason to look at another woman.’
He didn’t care that I was struggling with a new pregnancy. Even when I made effort; he will ‘forget’ to tell me that I looked beautiful.
“One time; he came to the bank to meet me and we went to the supermarket to get groceries. Dude tried so hard to act like he didn’t know me and we were not together.
When I introduced him to the manager, he had a scowl on his face. I didn’t notice initially until I called him ‘baby’ and he ignored me. I called him ‘baby’ again and he scolded me…”see how you’re just saying baby baby.”
“All the other places we went to, he stayed very far from me and was on the phone the whole time, I still haven’t found the words to describe how I felt that day. I survived… But the night he woke me up at 4am (I was more than 6 months pregnant) to cuss me out for telling my sister in law how he was treating me; he made sure to tell me how I was nothing and didn’t measure up to the women in his life.
“He said, “do you know the kind of women I left to marry you, you this thing.” He went on to call me many more unprintable names and added my sister in law to the insults.
Then he said, “my mother warned me about marrying an Umuahia woman (at this point I want to state that his mother died when he was 16), but I didn’t listen. I have asked questions and they told me that Umuahia women are domineering and evil.”
“Umuahia people, come and collect your sub…because the insults he gave Umuahia people is immense; yet he worships Nnamdi Kanu of IPOB who is from Umuahia and happens to be my second cousin. The following night; I woke from sleep to hear him on the phone with someone and he was telling this person how he doesn’t know how he married me because nothing about it made sense. He claimed that I held him down with some form of supernatural whatever and now that his eyes have cleared I had become repulsive to him and he couldn’t stand the sight of me.
“No wonder he had in a spate of abuse told me, ‘you can go and burn more bay leaves to tie my legs.’ I burn bay leaves occasionally to get rid of mosquitoes and pesky fruit flies instead of using insecticide. And burning bay leaves relaxes my nerves and makes me sleep better, so I didn’t understand what he said until I overheard that phone conversation. I was too numb to even cry…
He follows the likes of AllahKaduna who tell them that they’re alpha males and the prize…well, I was not in competition with anyone for anything so I removed myself from struggling for any prize biko.
“He loves to insult women on social media but is always in women’s inboxes asking for money…I lost count of how many women kept sending him money for only God knows what; and when I complained, he would say that I’m just being insecure…he still won’t pay any bills or buy anything for me or the house. The next time a random stranger told me I was beautiful; I was shocked to hear it. I had forgotten that I was beautiful because I was constantly belittled and demeaned by the one person who should have been praising me.
“It has been one joy ride finding my way back to myself…and right now my voice is stronger than ever.
7 months of marriage that felt like 7 years of torture…”

Talk about family name what if they had caught you? How will it look? That family name you’re talking about I don’t want you to ruin it by selling weed. I told you.
You are better than that. You are better than the useless friends you hang around. You will become like them soon, look at them. Is that how you want your life to be? God knows I have tried to put you into the right direction. I’ve never cheated, never flirted, I always wanted the best for you.

Can you see how selfish you are?” She wrote in one of the chats.
Popular Nigerian clergyman, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has stated that he can not regard Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, the lead president of LoveWorld Incorporated and Christ Embassy, as his friend.
He made this statement while preaching to his congregation on the second day of the Holy Ghost Conference, which was broadcasted live on the church’s YouTube Channel.

Citing an example, Apostle Suleman reported that more than 103 million people registered for a program in Pastor Chris’ church, and by the end of the meeting, more than 110 million people had registered.
He questioned how Pastor Chris was able to pull that kind of large crowd, and stated that he was operating on a higher level of grace than he is. He added that he can’t equate himself with such a man by lowering him to the level of a friend.
“Then I will now stand beside such a man and say, he is my friend? Never! Pastor Chris can’t be my friend. When you want to grow, stop equating yourself with those who have grown. I am not in his class. He is on a different world. Are you trying to say that God can’t use little things to correct him? God knows who He sends little things to for correction”, he wrote.
