“If God be for you, no man can be against you, no matter how hard dey try” – Iyabo Ojo throws shades following her new achievement

Iyabo Ojo is winning, she knows it, and she wants everyone else to know it too.

The veteran Nollywood actress has been on a quiet roll since her latest film, The Return of Arinzo, hit cinemas two weeks ago. The movie has grossed N224 million at the box office and held the number one spot for two consecutive weekends. For someone who has had no shortage of people rooting against her over the years, the timing of that success feels very deliberate in how she is choosing to celebrate it.

She did not make a grand announcement about the numbers. Instead, she let the energy do the talking. Posting photos of her look from veteran actress Ita Giwa’s 80th birthday dinner, where she showed up in a stunning red strapless gown that had her Instagram comments completely overwhelmed, Iyabo slipped in a line that was clearly aimed at a specific audience.

“If God be for you, no man can be against you no matter how hard they try,” she wrote, before thanking Nigeria and West Africa for the love and support that has pushed the film to where it is.

The red dress alone would have been enough to get people talking. Floor-length, fitted, dramatic neckline, dripping in beadwork, the kind of outfit that makes it very clear the person wearing it arrived with a point to prove. Paired with the caption she chose, it landed exactly the way it was intended to.

The Return of Arinzo is still showing in cinemas, and Iyabo is already expanding its reach. She confirmed that a UK premiere is locked in for April 25th, with Canada set to be announced soon.

Two weekends at number one, N224 million in the bag, a UK premiere on the horizon, and a birthday dinner outfit that broke the internet. Not a bad fortnight for someone her critics apparently expected to struggle.

Lady shares what happened after she sacrificed her brother’s school fee to save her boyfriend

A lady has shared a surprising turn of events after she assisted her then-boyfriend with her brother’s school fee.

The brother’s school fees were sent to her account because she could handle high-volume transactions.

Barely a month later, her then-boyfriend’s shop then gets burgl3d and r0bbed.

She witness her man cry like a baby, and decided to step in.

Hoping that he will pay back she gave him part of her brother’s school fees so he could get back on his feet – Pending when the fees will be paid in January.

He gets on his feet and starts che@ting around with other women.

Time to remit his debt and he lines up excuses.

It took the financial intervention of his godfather, family and friends for him to refund the money.

That day she realized, that some s@crifices don’t build love, they expose n0nsense – so she br0k3 up.

The story has sparked reactions from X-users online:

@eidurance Just imagine that beautiful opportunity wasted like that living that lady with tr@uma. When she goes into a new relationship she won’t be able to support her current partner.

@OgbujiPrecious5 The guy didn’t do well at all. That’s not just ungrat3ful it’s straight-up character f@ilure. Some sacrific3s do expose red flags. Never mix family obligations with boyfriend emergencies.

@PERCIVAL_JOEY It is a truly hard, lesson if we are to be factual. But money meant for school fees or hospital bill should not be put at risk like that.

Man refuses to move into the house his wife helped build for f3ar of mockery

A man says he cannot move into the house his wife secretly helped him complete, because people will laugh at him.

The couple had bought a land years ago and were gradually developing it.

Unfortunately, the husband later lost his job.

She then, secretly decided to complete the house using her salary, provision business profits and a loan.

It was her plan to surprise him with it on his 40th birthday.

That day finally came and she took him to the site.

The almost-completed house was decorated with balloons and a “Happy Birthday Honey” boldly written.

To her surprise he didn’t smile.

“So you did all this behind my back?

You think I’m useless?” , he asked.

He fumed, and refused to enter the house. That he cannot pack into a house built with woman power while he was jobless.

Tears roll down his cheeks as he laments that people will laugh at him.

This has led to a prolonged malice between the couples, that he now sleeps in the living room.

“Should I wait for him to get a job before completing the house?

..did I do wrong by trying to surprise him?” , she concludes with a question.

The story was shared by @BukolaOni0 on X and it has caused reactions from people:

@papshine_t This is a typical example of a f00lish man in the name of pride and ego.
Such a wonderful woman with a great mindset who she can be regarded as “A keeper”… I pity her sha🤧

“I feel v!0lated” – Man who claimed a lady s3xually ass@ulted him says

A man has come out to share an experience of how a lady s3xually assaulted him in a public bus that he boarded.

According to him, he boarded a commercial, which can usually be very tight and uncomfortable.

Due to the tightness his body was brushing off on the lady sitting close to him.

At some point he felt her b00bs rubbing off the back of his arm.

“I didn’t read any meaning to it because this things can

mistakenly happen when you are in a tight space 

with someone like that”

But along the way, he felt like the b00bz were consciously touching his arm.

He added that the lady’s breathing got harder, and each time he tried to move his arm away, she leans for a contact.

“She started moving funny in a non-noticeable 

s3xual way.

I felt so uncomfortable but I didn’t wanna

make a scene.”

Unable to take it further, he was forced to get down at a place that wasn’t his bus stop.

“I just can’t stop shaking,

I feel violated and when 

I close my eyes the whole

scenerio just plays at the 

back of my head

I think I’ll need therapy”

The story which was shared by @viccetti on X has stirred reactions from people:

@freshonly You should have spoken up immediately so that another man would not be a victim. Sorry you went through that, I hope you heal.

@zam_end We need to speak more about the trauma men pass through in a shared space with women.Those species see men as sexůål objects.

Abroad-based Nigerian lady eats bread and stew with fork, adjusts her eating style at work (Watch)

An abroad-based Nigerian lady took an unconventional approach to eating bread and stew at work to adjust her eating style around colleagues.

The video showed her using a fork to eat bread and stew, a method that deviates from the traditional approach many Nigerians know.

Typically, bread and stew are eaten with the hands by tearing off a portion of bread and dipping it into the stew. However, she explained that she opted for cutlery because she wasn’t sure how to eat comfortably in front of her colleagues.

The moment resonated with many Nigerians living abroad, who shared similar experiences of adapting their habits in professional or unfamiliar environments.

While some viewers found it relatable, others encouraged embracing cultural practices with confidence, regardless of the setting.

Netizens wondered why she was shy about eating the meal in the typical method when people abroad similarly eat some of their meals.

Below are some comments, 

@ᴠᴇɴɪᴄᴇ 🌟 shy in front of the same people that dip their grilled cheese in tomato soup. pls you’re not hungry give it to me

@Doyin Don’t be silly tear the bread and dip it in 😂😂 just say it’s naan bread

@Fumnanya Abeg tear your bread and dip in your stew jare!!

@nans.bello I’m so curious, if you had a grilled cheese and tomato soup, would you have done the same thing?

Olajumoke Orisaguna Clears the Air After Viral Video Sparks ‘Smoking’ Rumours

Remember Olajumoke? The bread seller from Agege whose life changed overnight after she wandered into a photoshoot and came out a supermodel? She is back in the conversation, and this time the circumstances are a little less glamorous.

Over the Easter holiday, Olajumoke posted a video on social media that got people talking for all the wrong reasons. In it, she was dancing in a bum short and a distressed shirt, singing an indigenous song, cupping her nether region with one hand and holding the other in a way that looked convincingly like she was smoking. It was the kind of video that travels fast, and it did.

It did not take long before the comments section filled up with concern, speculation and in true Nigerian internet fashion, a fair amount of judgment. A chunk of the people who saw it concluded she had picked up a drug habit. The video spread, the narrative spread with it, and before long Olajumoke found herself needing to respond.

She did, and she kept it simple. In a follow-up video she shared online, she said plainly that she does not smoke and she does not drink, and asked people not to put that image on her. The smoking was just content, she explained. She was acting, playing a character for the camera, nothing more.

Whether people believe her is a different conversation entirely. But for anyone who has followed her story, there is something quietly sad about the fact that Olajumoke is once again having to fight for control of her own narrative.

Her come-up is the kind of story Nollywood would turn into a film. A young woman balancing a tray of bread on her head in Agege, minding her business, accidentally walks into a photoshoot that photographer TY Bello was running with British rapper Tinie Tempah. Someone posts the photo. Nigeria loses its mind. Brands start calling. Olajumoke, who most people had never heard of 48 hours earlier, is suddenly everywhere.

But that kind of fame, the kind that arrives without warning and without infrastructure around it, rarely holds. The attention moved on, as it always does, and Olajumoke gradually faded from the front pages she had briefly occupied.

So seeing her pop back up, even under these circumstances, is something. Whether this moment leads anywhere or becomes just another footnote is hard to say. But she is here, she is making content, and she says she is clean. That is where things stand.

“Her mother begged me to marry her because they wanted to use me for papers” – Angel Smith’s partner, Tumininu continues to spill more

Nobody saw the wedding coming. Even fewer people expected it to fall apart this fast.
Angel Smith, the BBNaija star who announced her marriage to her female partner Tumininu in an all-black ceremony in the United States on March 27, 2026, is now at the centre of one of the messiest celebrity marriage meltdowns Nigerian social media has seen in a long time. And the thing is, it has not even been two weeks.

Tumininu opened the floodgates on Snapchat, and once she started talking, she did not stop. Her biggest claim, the one that has people’s jaws on the floor, is that Angel’s own mother lobbied repeatedly for the wedding to happen. Not just once. Several times. She says she knows exactly why. “Them wan use me for paper, I japa,” she wrote, alleging that the family’s real intention was to secure immigration papers through the marriage and that she figured it out before they could pull it off.

She named friends who had encouraged her to go through with the wedding and threatened to see them all in court. “Soji, Chinwe, Crystal, Segun, all of you wey beg me to continue this shit. All of us go to court to explain ourselves,” she wrote.

Then came the receipts, or at least what she is calling receipts.

Screenshots of private conversations between the two began making rounds online. In one exchange, Angel herself appeared to have doubts about the marriage long before things went sideways publicly. She reportedly brought up concerns about Tumininu’s finances, said she felt no real connection, and flagged issues she was observing around her partner. Tumininu, in the same thread, asked her plainly if she wanted a divorce and brought up the fact that there was no intimacy between them. She also said she sold her chains to buy Angel a car. Angel’s response, according to the screenshots, was to ask whether she had ever asked for a car in the first place.

It gets messier. Tumininu has accused Angel of cheating on her with another woman she allegedly met on Hinge after arriving in the US. She claims she spent over $100,000 on Angel since she got to America, including $50,000 on her birthday alone. At one point she posted telling Angel’s mother to go and look for her daughter at her new girlfriend’s house.

None of this was visible when Angel shared clips of herself getting glammed up for the wedding on Snapchat just days earlier. The ceremony was intimate, the aesthetic was deliberate, all-black outfits for every guest, a detail that had caused its own minor controversy when the invitation circulated online. Fans pushed back. Angel pushed back harder. When someone asked why she could not find a man to marry, she said no man was good enough. She was married to a woman within days.

The first sign that something was wrong came almost immediately after the wedding when a video surfaced of Tumininu with another woman, clearly having a good time. Angel responded on Instagram the way she usually responds to things that bother her, obliquely and with attitude, posting cryptic messages that suggested she was unbothered and possibly available again.

Tumininu posted a meme about losing people to prove loyalty to someone who turned out to be disloyal. Neither of them said anything directly. They did not need to.

What is unfolding now is the direct version of that same conversation, and it is significantly louder. A marriage that barely had time to find its footing is crumbling in public, one Snapchat post at a time, and neither woman seems particularly interested in keeping the details behind closed doors.

Israel DMW Says Marrying a Foreigner Is Not the Problem, Bringing the Children Back Home Is

Davido’s logistics manager and media aide, Israel DMW, has stirred conversation online after sharing his thoughts on Nigerians who travel abroad to marry foreign partners, and his position is more nuanced than the average take on the subject.

In a post shared on his Instagram page, accompanied by photos of himself at the Transcorp Hilton Abuja dressed in an all-white agbada, Israel made clear that he has no problem with interracial or international marriages in principle. His concern lies elsewhere. “Going to abroad, to marry an Oyinbo woman or man isn’t the issue at all. Bringing back the children home is the main problem. Blacks still remain best,” he wrote.

The post touched on something that resonates with a good number of Nigerians, particularly those who have watched family members or friends build lives abroad, marry foreign partners, and raise children who grow up with little to no connection to their Nigerian roots. For Israel, that disconnect appears to be the real cost worth talking about.

The comment comes from a man who has had his own complicated relationship with marriage. Israel was previously married to Edo-based influencer Sheila Courage, but the union collapsed in under a year amid allegations of domestic violence and what both parties described very differently. Israel denied any physical assault and claimed he had significantly invested in Sheila’s life during their time together, only for her to attempt to reshape him to meet her own expectations and look down on him financially. Sheila, for her part, dismissed his account entirely, saying he used his generosity as a cover for his shortcomings.

The fallout was very public. Israel issued warnings to men to stay clear of his estranged wife. He shared a video of her out with friends and told the public he had moved on. He later sat down with media personality Daddy Freeze and said divorce should hurt, and that his ex was using theirs as a platform for self-promotion. He also took a swipe at her for dispensing relationship advice after their failed marriage.

Away from the drama, Israel has dropped hints that he may be open to love again. At the 88th birthday dinner of billionaire TY Danjuma last year, he posted a photo alongside an unidentified woman in a green gown, deliberately keeping her face out of frame, giving his followers just enough to speculate about.

For now though, it is his views on transnational marriages and raising children far from home that have people talking.

“Remove My Bad Character, I Am a Spec” — Phyna Declares Any Man Who Cheats on Her Is the One Losing

Phyna is never short of confidence, and her latest livestream gave her followers another reminder of exactly that.

The Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner sparked a fresh wave of reactions online after she went on a bold, unbothered monologue during a recent livestream in which she assessed her own worth, acknowledged her flaws, and still came out of the exercise thoroughly impressed with herself.

She did not pretend to be without fault. She admitted openly that she has a bad character. But in Phyna’s estimation, that is largely beside the point. “Remove my bad character, I am a spec. I’m a fine shit. Any man that cheats on me is definitely the one losing,” she said, delivering the line with the kind of ease that suggested she had thought about it and fully agreed with herself.

She did not leave it there either. Phyna went on to break it down further, asking her audience to mentally set aside her acknowledged flaws and take stock of everything that remains. “Just use your eyes to remove bad character aside and check my remaining part, I’m a fine shit. Even with my bad character sef I’m not still too bad, so I’m not scared of Lagos girls cause they got nothing on my relationship,” she added.

The Lagos girls comment, casual as it was, has predictably become one of the most talked about parts of the clip, with people weighing in on whether the confidence is earned, excessive, or simply Phyna being Phyna.

Reactions online have been mixed but spirited. Some found the whole thing hilarious and refreshing, appreciating her self-awareness wrapped inside the bravado. Others felt the comparisons were unnecessary. Either way, the clip has been doing the rounds and Phyna, as usual, does not appear to be losing any sleep over the debate.

Donald Trump deletes post depicting him as Jesus-like figure after backlash

United States President Donald Trump has taken down an AI-generated image he posted of himself that drew swift and sharp criticism from Christian commentators who said it crossed a line no sitting president should cross.

The image, which has since been deleted, showed Trump dressed in a white robe with one hand placed on the forehead of a visibly ill man, a pose that many observers immediately recognised as a direct reference to classical religious paintings depicting Jesus Christ performing acts of healing. The backdrop of the image leaned heavily into American iconography, featuring the Statue of Liberty, a large US flag, fighter jets, an eagle, a nurse, a woman in prayer, and what appeared to be a uniformed soldier.

The backlash from Christian voices was immediate. Critics described the post as blasphemous and called it deeply inappropriate for a president who has consistently presented himself as a champion of Christian values in America.

Trump, however, pushed back on that interpretation when he spoke to reporters some hours after the image had been removed. He said he did not see it the way his critics did, claiming he believed the image was showing him as a doctor standing beside a Red Cross worker, not a depiction of Christ.

The timing of the post added another layer to the controversy. It went up just hours after Trump had published a lengthy public statement taking aim at Pope Leo XIV, who has been an outspoken critic of the military operations carried out by the United States and Israel in Iran. Whether the sequence of events was coincidental or deliberate has not been addressed by the White House.

The deleted post has continued to circulate widely in screenshots across social media, ensuring that its removal has done little to quiet the conversation around it.

Man recounts how “Baddie” almost walked off with his luxury cap at a concert (Watch)

In a funny yet intense moment from a concert, an unknown lady nearly made away with a man’s luxury cap after dancing with him.

The video shared by the man shows that while he and the lady were vibing and dancing, she casually removed his face cap and placed it on her head without saying a word. The unexpected move caught attention, but the moment didn’t escalate.

In a smooth twist, the man spun around during the dance and gently took the cap back from her, blending back into the crowd as if nothing had happened.

The clip quickly sparked reactions online. While some viewers questioned how “luxury” the cap really was, others were more amused by how both parties handled the situation so casually.

Many also joked about what could have happened if the lady had disappeared before he completed his spin, turning the moment into a mix of humor and street smartness.

Pastor leaves pulpit after girl with skimpy dress refused to sit at the back

A pastor has walked out on his congregation after a lady who was indecently dressed insisted on sitting in the front row.

According to the story, the lady sat front row with a very skimpy dress that exposed her cleavage.

The story teller said she noticed that the pastor kept staring at the lady at intervals whilst preaching.

“At some point it looked as if he was getting aroused”

Obviously, she was becoming a distraction, so the pastor told her to move to the back.

She refused.

The pastor called the attention of the ushers, and told them to take her behind, but she insisted she wasn’t moving.

The whole congregation sat and watched as the situation became a scene.

Eventually, he realized that the lady was not going to give in, he handed the mic to the assistant pastor and walked out.

The story was shared on X by @justmercy_ and it has stirred reactions online:

@he_is_dreyy That pastor is a weakling and he’s not a man of God. If the spirit of the Lord is truly in him then every thing that has to do with flesh doesn’t concern him. He should read Matthew 5:28 and also Galatians 5:16.

@Adedoyin0o99252 First, the pastor is human. No matter how spiritual someone is, they’re still capable of distraction. But the issue isn’t that he noticed her , it’s how he handled it. Calling her out publicly and escalating it in front of the whole church wasn’t the best move. A more composed approach (like speaking to ushers quietly without making it obvious would’ve avoided the scene. Pls explain wetin she wear give us.

Read story:

“Something happened in church today that left me very shocked and confused. A lady was sitting next to me, and she wore a very skimpy dress that showed her cleavage. We were seated in the front row”

“As the pastor was preaching, I noticed he kept staring at her… he would preach and then glance at her multiple times. At some point, it even looked like he was getting aroused (I have this habit of noticing things like that 😭). He then asked the lady to move to the back, but she refused. He called the ushers to move her, but she kept insisting she wasn’t going anywhere.”

“The whole congregation was watching the situation unfold, and it caused quite a scene. Eventually, when they saw she wasn’t going to budge, the pastor handed the mic to his assistant and left the church.”

“The whole drama was honestly very funny to me… I’m not even exaggerating. I’ve never seen anything like that in my life, and the entire time I was just trying to hold back my laughter 😭🤣”

Moment a woman blocks a bride’s entrance into a family gathering during the wedding ceremony (Watch)

A wedding moment took an unexpected turn after a woman attempted to prevent a bride from entering a room to meet her husband and family members.

In the video, the bride approached the entrance, only to find the woman standing directly in her path. As she tried to move around her, the woman deliberately mirrored her movements, repeatedly blocking her way.

The situation escalated into a brief physical collision as they moved at the same time. Guests nearby quickly intervened, and a male relative stepped in to pull the woman aside and reprimand her.

What shocked many viewers was the woman’s reaction afterward; she remained expressionless and showed no sign of remorse despite the disruption.

Some online users questioned the woman’s duty at the entrance and why she wasn’t escorted out of the gathering following her misconduct.

Lady amused after her younger sister uses onions to spell “I Love U” on her noodles meal (Watch)

A heartwarming moment occurred as a lady’s younger sister went the extra mile to express affection while preparing noodles for her.

Instead of serving the meal plainly, the younger sibling used sliced onions to creatively spell out “I love u” on top of the noodles, turning a simple dish into a thoughtful gesture.

The unexpected display of affection left the lady amused and touched, as she admired the effort and creativity behind the meal. She wondered how her sister creatively designed the alphabet with onions and still served her a hot noodle meal.

Netizens highlighted that her younger sister made an effort because she wanted something in return, since it was a common habit for younger siblings to act as if they were creatives to make a request.

Mohbad’s Son Liam Turns Three as Mum Omowunmi Pens Emotional Birthday Tribute

Liam Aloba, the son of late Nigerian singer Ileri Aloba, better known as Mohbad, turned three years old on Saturday, April 12, and his mother marked the occasion with a heartfelt message that moved many of her followers online.

Omowunmi, who has been raising Liam as a single mother since Mohbad’s passing in September 2023, shared fresh photos of the birthday boy on her Instagram page and accompanied them with words that made clear just how much the little boy means to her.

“Happy birthday to my heartbeat, you mean the world to me Eyinimofeoluwa and I’m so proud to be your parent. I’d walk through fire, cross oceans and do absolutely anything to make sure you are safe and happy. I will always be your biggest cheerleader and your safest harbor. I live for your smile and I would do anything to protect you. Happy birthday to the best son I could ever ask for, I love you with all my heart my Lily,” she wrote.

The post drew warm reactions from Nigerians who have followed Liam’s story closely since his father’s sudden and controversial death nearly two years ago. Mohbad passed away in September 2023 at the age of 27 under circumstances that sparked widespread public outcry and prompted calls for a thorough investigation. Liam, who was barely a year old at the time, remains the singer’s only child.

Watching him grow has become something of a collective experience for fans of his late father, many of whom flooded the comments section on Saturday with birthday messages for the toddler and words of encouragement for his mother.

Happy birthday, Liam.

“It Is Broke That You’re Broke” — BBNaija Phyna Claps Back at Critics of Body Enhancement Surgery

Phyna is not interested in the debate, and she made sure everyone watching her livestream knew exactly where she stands.

The Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner took time during a recent livestream to address a conversation that follows almost every former housemate who comes out of the show looking different from when they went in. The moment someone loses weight, gets a BBL, or clearly visits a surgeon after their BBNaija cheque clears, the internet has a ready-made narrative: the money went to their body instead of something more sensible.

Phyna is not buying that narrative, and she said so without sugarcoating a single word.

“It is not money miss road,” she said, shutting down the idea that body enhancement surgery is a frivolous or irresponsible use of funds. She acknowledged the pattern people like to point out, that former housemates often get work done after the show, but argued that the real issue is not the surgery. It is the mindset of whoever is doing the criticising.

Her logic was straightforward. “If you have 20 million naira that you are not using, my dear, you will go and do surgery,” she said, putting the conversation in terms that were hard to argue with. She then went a step further and named what she believes is truly driving the criticism. “It is broke that you’re broke. It is money that you don’t have that is why you’re hating on it. If money touch you, you will go and do it.”

The comments landed with force, and clips from the livestream have since been making the rounds across social media platforms, drawing reactions from people on both sides of the body enhancement debate.

Some agreed completely, pointing out that Phyna was simply saying what many people think privately but are too afraid to admit publicly. The reality is that cosmetic procedures are increasingly normalised across Nigeria and beyond, and the idea that having them done represents some kind of moral failing has always been more about class judgment than genuine concern.

Others pushed back, arguing that there is a difference between spending money on surgery and spending it on assets or investments, a point Phyna’s critics have leaned on heavily since the clip began circulating.

What is clear, though, is that Phyna said exactly what she meant and meant every word of it. Whether you agree with her or not, the woman has never struggled to make her position known.

Two UNICAL Graduating Students Lose Lives in Road Crash on their way to Calabar for convocation ceremony

Two students of the University of Calabar who were on their way to attend the institution’s convocation ceremony have lost their lives in a road accident in Cross River State, casting a shadow over what should have been one of the most celebrated moments of their lives.

The deceased, identified as Gloria Ajor and Godwin Benjamin, were among passengers aboard a Sienna bus travelling from Bekwarra Local Government Area to Calabar when the crash occurred on Thursday night, April 9, 2026. The timing made the tragedy particularly painful, as the two had been heading to Calabar specifically to participate in UNICAL’s 38th convocation ceremony, which was held the following day on April 10.

CrossRiverWatch, which first reported the incident, confirmed the identities of the two graduating students among the victims. A Facebook post by Odey Matthias Ojeka also indicated that several other passengers lost their lives in the crash, while a number of survivors sustained injuries of varying degrees.

Witnesses at the scene said good Samaritans responded quickly, helping to evacuate those who survived to nearby medical facilities before emergency responders arrived.

Moment a bird almost carried a lady’s food while she was making a video (Watch)

A lady had a shocking and hilarious moment after a bird nearly made away with her food while she was recording a video.

As seen in the video, she was calmly filming when a bird suddenly swooped in, targeting the chicken that accompanied her plate of spaghetti. The unexpected move caught her completely off guard.

In the clip, the bird appeared determined, almost grabbing the food before she reacted. Startled, she quickly pulled back, trying to protect her meal from falling from her hand.

The moment sparked reactions online, with many viewers amused by the bird’s swift action, while others argued whether it was an eagle or a hawk.

Some claimed that eagles are swift when they notice their prey, but the bird in the video appear to be fake.

Below are some comments,

@Owie Shedrick How did the bird know it was chicken on the plate?

@👑༒M̷U̷I̷Z̷ ̷A̷F̷Ø̷L̷A̷B̷I̷༒👑 do u later eat the chicken?

@ikky 👑 gold That’s neither a hawk or an eagle

@ibitoye15 I think eagle is faster than sound!!! even light couldn’t show the speed 😳

@olax179 I think we are not asking the main question. Is she still going to eat the chicken ?

“A woman who truly loves you will never leave because of ch3ating” – Man shares why

A man has come online to share why a woman who truly loves you will not abandon the relationship simply because you cheated.

According to him, a man can not know how much his woman loves him until he cheats on her.

But the lady should be someone that she believes she is prettier than.

That the best she can do is to cry and ask what the other lady has that she doesn’t.

Once you apologize and get her some gifts she will forgive you.

“If she ever thre@tens to ch3@t back or completely br3ak up with you, then she was never deeply in love with you.

A woman who truly loves you will never bre@k up because of ch3ating.

Most will f!ght the other woman or use your phone to block her

He also advise men to leave those chats with other women, so she can stumble on them.

According to him this will let her know that other women want you, which makes her easily replaceable.

“The worst mistake you can make as a man

is always telling a woman you will be faithful to her.

it makes you less attractive.”

He concludes with the fact that women tend to stay in such situations and a man is likely to lose her when he constantly pampers her.

“An average woman does not expect fidelity from you”

“The day I knew it was time for me to relocate” – Lady shares interesting experience

A lady has shared an experience she had in Lagos that made her make up her mind to relocate out of Nigeria.

It happened back when she was still a banker.

On a sad Friday she took a bus to Obalende.

A big bus stopped in front of her, which she suspected because, “it’s usually small buses that take that rout”.

But the fare was just ₦100, so she jumped in.

On their way she noticed they didn’t pick any other passenger except a certain that was dressed in colored clothes.

The man sat beside her in the driver’s seat.

Minutes later, the conductor asked her to help him change ₦1000. She brushed it over.

Later he rubbed her shoulder and asked where her bus stop was.

It irritated her, so she snapped:

“Why you dey rub my body like this?

“Which body? This one na body abi bonga fish?”, he replied.

He tells her that her fare was now ₦300 and again she charged back at him.

The driver packed and told her to come down – which she did.

Luckily for her, each time she boarded a public transport she would always check her bag.

Behold, her phone was gone!

“Omo my brain reset instantly!”

When she raised her head and saw them at a slow traffic, she dropped everything and her wig on the floor and chased after them.

She saw a bus and begged the driver to just hang by the door since it is full.

They caught up with them, and collected her phone while they were attempting to escape through a bridge.

She said the passenger they carried must have been the one that removed the phone:

“..How they took that phone from

my bag was still a mystery.

…That was the moment I knew it was

time to leave that Godforsaken country

before I run mad”

“If it was my child..would you allow the boy live here” – Wife asks husband after he requested they take in his other son

Man who told his wife to welcome his other son into their home goes silent after she asks what he would do if the case were reversed.

The story was shared by a supposed friend and colleague of the woman.

According to her, the woman had walked into the office with swollen eyes and a cracking voice.

She tells her that, after eleven years of marriage and three kids, she is just finding out that her husband had another child outside.

The husband confessed that the secret was killing him slowly so he had to let it out.

But where the conflict rises is that the mother of the illegitimate child is insisting the boy lives under his fathers roof.

Prophets and pastors have told her that the boy will not prosper unless he stays with his father in his proper home.

The wife said she has tried to forgive the fact that he cheated, but bringing in the boy was entirely a different ball game.

The husband, confused and desperate for peace, has been begging her to let the boy stay even if it will be for a while.

So she asked him a question that he hasn’t yet answered:

“If it was my own child I born outside, 

would you allow the boy to come

and live here?”

The house has been like a graveyard ever since. The children sense something but nobody is talking.

The concubine has rejected the man’s monthly upkeep money, insisting she gets what she asked.

The wife on the other hand is contemplating letting the boy in or packing out.

Lady and her friend criticized after faking a birthday to get a free cake at a restaurant (WATCH)

A lady has got people talking after revealing how she and her friend pretended it was her birthday to get a free cake at a restaurant.

She explained that they came up with the idea because the cake wasn’t available for purchase, so they decided to act like it was her special day. Their plan worked, as the staff presented a complimentary cake along with a birthday song.

Even her friend who recorded the video pretended to be surprised after the staff reached their table for the celebration.

However, the experience didn’t quite meet their expectations. According to her, the cake wasn’t sweet, and the staff member who sang the birthday song delivered it off-key, making the moment less enjoyable than anticipated.

Despite the humorous video, many online users criticized their actions. Some pointed out that such behavior could stop the restaurant from offering complimentary birthday treats to genuine celebrants.

Man brɘaks up with fiancée because she refused to pound yam for his mother

A man has ended things with his wife-to-be because she insisted she couldn’t pound yams when she could use the electric yam pounder.

Two weeks after their engagement, the lady decided to visit her fiancé’s parents to spend some few days.

When she got there and it was time to cook, her soon-to-be mother-in-law told her to peel yams and prep for pounded yam.

While at it, the woman kept coming in and out of the kitchen, observing her.

In her words: “You know you Gen Z children only know

how to prepare noodles.

Some of you don’t even prepare that well”

After the lady was done peeling, her fiancée’s mother said she had done fair.

On reaching for the electric yam pounder, the mother brought out a mortar and pestle for her instead.

In her defense, the lady politely declined, explaining that she doesn’t pound yam manually.

After a back and forth, she decided to do it.

She gets exhausted and dropped the pestle.

Her fiancée’s mother insisted that it was one of the many tests she must pass to be fitting for her son.

While in the heat, the fiancé stepped in.

Both parties explained the situation, and he concluded that his fiancée either does what his mother said or they call it quit.

The lady handed him the engagement ring where he stood., went back to his place, packed her belonging and called a friend to come and pick her.
