My husband Buhari suffered PTSD for many years after fighting civil war and being detained without rehabilitation – Aisha Buhari

By

October 5, 2022

Nigeria’s first lady, Aisha Buhari has disclosed that her husband, President Muhammadu Buhari, suffered Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) for many years.

She reportedly said this at the ground-breaking ceremony for the Armed Forces Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Centre (AFPTSDC) initiated by the Mrs Lucky Irabor-led Defence and Police Officers’ Wives Association (DEPOWA).

Aisha said her husband battled with PTSD for years after fighting in the Civil War, being overthrown as military head of state and subsequent detention for 40 months without rehabilitation.

She said she became his physiotherapist and nursed him to recovery after she got married to him at the young age of 19 though it was a struggle.

She was quoted as saying;

“I want to thank DEPOWA for this foresighted vision of establishing a Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Centre for our soldiers. Indeed, PTSD is a mental health condition triggered by terrifying events.

“It is a reality that soldiers and military families have to live with, despite its negative consequences. Being a soldier’s wife or a retired soldier’s wife and a wellness expert, I understand the challenges associated with PTSD and its impact on military families and the nation.

“My husband served the Nigerian Army for 27 years before he was overthrown in a coup d’état. He fought civil war for 30 months without rehabilitation; he ruled Nigeria for 20 months and was detained for 40 months without disclosing the nature of his offence.

“One year after he came out from detention, we were married, I clocked 19 years in his house as his wife, legitimately. I suffered the consequences of PTSD, because having gone through all these, and at the age of 19, to handle somebody, who was a former Head of State and Commander-in-Chief of Nigeria’s Armed Forces, to tell him that he is wrong is the first mistake you will make.

“So, at the age of 19, I had to figure out how to tell somebody of his calibre that he was wrong or right and that was the beginning of my offence in his house, and contesting elections in 2003 and failed, 2007, failed and 2011, the same thing – all without rehabilitation – I became a physiotherapist.

“Finally, the whole nation rose against the misuse of power and bad governance. He only succeeded when it became a movement and here we are today. He ruled Nigeria before and he is ruling Nigeria now and this is the last time and final.

“Failing election for three times was a big blow to every contestant but those that have contested for just yesterday, a simple primary election, they are still living in a traumatic condition, I tried to console them, I tried to talk to them, some of them have switched off their phones up till today, just because of a primary election.

“You can imagine myself at 19 years, handling somebody that went to war, suffered coup d’état, then lost several elections, and, finally, getting to the Villa in the 2015. Also, for a woman to tell them that this is wrong or right in Nigeria and Africa is a problem.”

A Nigerian man on Tuesday night raised alarm after he was almost detained at the Ifo Police Station for reporting his father who allegedly assaulted his mother.

The forensic biologist, identified as Oladimeji (@laditwits) on Twitter, said his mother has been a victim of domestic violence for 32 years and he reported him to Ogun welfare who in turn invited his father for questioning but he did not honour the invitation.

He and his brother then went to a police station in Ifo local government area of Ogun state to report his father but the DPO turned against them and ordered that they should be taken into custody.

Oladimeji, who was scared for his life, took to Twitter to seek help and pleaded with Nigerians to come to their aid.

Tweeting from the police station, he wrote,

“We are at the station to report domestic violence against my mother and the DpO of the Ifo police station has asked them to detain us. My brother and I.

My mom has been a victim of domestic violence for 32 years of marriage

We took the case to ogun state welfare and they invited him to talk, he refused to go

He beat my mom best me.

Please help, I’m about to be detained with my brother.

October 5, 2022

The online feud between music executives, Soso Soberokon and Harrysong, has taken a new turn as the latter has resorted to body-shaming the former.

The drama started after Harrysong in an interview with Frankly Speaking Podcast hosts claimed that ‘Soso’ sent people to kill him in Port Harcourt, adding that he (Soso) is not his friend as many believe.

Though he didn’t mention a specific last name, many assumed that he was referring to music executive and talent manager, Soso Soberoken.

The circumstances surrounding the way Harrysong left his former label (5 star music) also fueled the rumors that Soso really tried to kill him.

Soso did not take the claim lightly and slammed Harrysong with a suit demanding he retracts the statement and pay N500M or compensation. He also warned that if Harrysong fails to do so within seven days, he will be sued to court.

Reacting to the lawsuit, Harrysong, in a post shared on his Instastory, fired back at Soso for threatening to drag him to court and body-shamed him.

Popular gay rights activist, Bisi Alimi, has opined that no amount of prayer and fasting can cure a person living with HIV.

The 47-year-old activist, who is also HIV positive, stated this in a post shared on his Instastory while advising people living with the virus.

He admonished them to ditch the idea of praying and fasting to be healed, and instead focus on taking their medication and seek medical help.

Bisi wrote,

“If you are HIV+, no amount of prayers and fasting will cure you. Take your medication, exercise, think positively and live a happy life.

There is no healing in faith.

Your viral load will only come down if you adhere and not by how many days you pray or fast.

If your viral load is taking long to come down, talk to your healthcare provider about it and be honest about the lifestyle choices you have.”

Bisi, who is the first Nigerian to openly declare his sexuality as gay on national television, urged others still in the closet to come out.

According to him, if they open up about their sexuality their parents won’t die, insisting that it’s a lie used to keep them in closet.

Usifo Ataga’s murder: Court hears audio conversation between Chidinma and security guard

October 5, 2022

A Lagos High Court sitting on Tuesday listened to the audio recording of an alleged phone conversation between Chidinma Ojukwu and a security guard, Abubakar Mohammed, at the rented short-let service apartment where Super TV boss, Michael Usifo Ataga, was allegedly murdered.

Chidinma Ojukwu is standing trial for alleged murder, stealing, and forgery alongside her sister, Chioma Egbuchu, and Adedapo Quadri.

In the audio recording that was heard by the court on Tuesday, Ojukwu was heard saying “hello” while the security guard, Mohammed, also responded by saying “Hello, who is this?”

Chidinma then replied, “It’s me,” and then she asked the security guard about Ataga’s car. She said, “Is the car around?” “Which car?” Mohammed responded. Chidinma then said, “That my oga car, the black Range Rover.”

The court also heard Mohammed tell the first defendant that, as she was not around, he could not go and knock on the man’s door. He then asked her if the man was alive, and she replied that Ataga was alive.

He further asked her what time she was coming back; she said, “I am coming.” Mohammed then asked her to use her phone number to call him so that he can have it, to which she replied, “ok”.

Before listening to this recording, the Lagos State Deputy Director for Public Prosecutions, Mrs Adenike Oluwafemi, asked the ninth prosecution witness, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Olusegun Bamidele, to confirm his testimony of May 9, where he told the court about the security guard’s interaction and conversation with the first defendant.

Bamidele confirmed the evidence he gave before the court and how he had testified that the security guard transferred the audio conversation to his Infinix Hot 4 smartphone.

The witness was asked if he would be able to identify the Compact Disc and he answered in the affirmative. When it was shown to him, he identified it and also told the court that he had attached a certificate of compliance to the CD.

He said, “The alleged maker of the CD, is Mohammed (PW2) and the prosecution had not made the required document of why this court will make do with a hearsay document when the author had already given evidence as PW2”.

Egwu cited Section 83 1 (a) (ii), 2011 of the Evidence Act and said “The prosecution has not laid any of this foundation of the tendering of the document through Segun Bamidele.

“If the prosecution desires and wants to rely on this document, PW2 ought to have been called,” he said.

In her reply, Oluwafemi said, “It is trite law that whatever the investigation Police Officer gathered as evidence is direct evidence and not hearsay. Finally, admissibility is based on relevance”.

In a short ruling on the arguments of the prosecution and defence counsel, Justice Yetunde Adesanya dismissed the objection of the defence counsel.

Justice Adesanya adjourned the case to October 6, 2022, for the continuation of the trial.

I hope a side-chick uses one of you to teach the rest of you lessons – Aisha Yesufu berates married women who attack their husbands mistresses and post videos online

Activist Aisha Yesufu has slammed married women who are in the habit of attacking their husbands side chics and sharing videos from the attack online.

In a Twitter thread, Aisha stated that she hopes that a side chic will one day use one of such married women as a scapegoat to teach others a lesson.

Her Tweets read ;

The nonsense of married women going about harassing those they call side chicks need to be dealt with. What nonsense is this? You go beat up a lady and video her naked? Then post it online? What manner of rubbish is all that? Why not face your good for nothing husband?

If your husband is being snatched, sister you are in a relationship with yourself. Work on your plan B!

Plan B
1) Ignore him & turn a blind eye
2) Get a side guy & go with him for a double date
3) Plead with the girl like Dolly Parton did with Jolene
4) Make the marriage hell for him as it is paining you, it is paining him.
5) Walk out of the marriage
6) Welcome her like a sister

If your husband has any respect for you he would respect the vows you took. If he decides to go chasing after other women then what is the business of the women with you? Na as dem chase you dem dey chase dem.
And you side chick, why sit down & take nonsense from woman like you?

Your good for nothing husband is not a toy that can be snatched away. He is an irresponsible fellow that has no regards for the vows you took. So stop laying hands on those you have no business with.

I hope a side chick use one of you to teach the rest of you lessons

You must be the lowest of lows to film a woman naked and share it with the public. You are as despicable and disgusting as your cheating husband if not worse!

Soso Soberekon demands Harry Song retracts ‘murder allegation’ and pay N500,000,000 for damages

October 5, 2022

There is an ongoing fight between former ‘music friends’ Soso Soberekon and Harrysongs, and it seems ‘the pressure is getting wesser’.

Yesterday, news made rounds after Harry Song claimed during an interview with Frankly Speaking Podcast hosts that talent manager Soso Soberekon sent people to kill him in Port Harcourt.

He also said that Soso is not his friend as many believe.

He claimed Soso is his “enemy” and even tried to kill him.

The singer did not give a specific last name but everybody automatically assumed he was talking about Talent manager and music producer Soso Soberekon.

The circumstances at which Harrysongs left his former label (5 star music) also fueled the rumors that Soso really tried to kill him.

Mr. Soberekon did not take kindly to Harrysong’s words and he has slammed him with a suit demanding he retracts the statement and pay N500M for compensation.

Failure to do the above listed after seven days will lead to a court case, Soso warned.

Soso wrote on Instagram –

As a matter of fact, I always mind my business, stay on my lane and put smile on people’s faces.

It is very disappointing that Harrysong will make such a false, reckless and defamatory statement.

Please to my supporters, remain calm, this will be addressed and will be handled properly and legally. Thanks
