A security guard has been applauded for his heroism after he saved a baby who almost fell on the escalator stairs at a mall in Cameroon.
A CCTV footage capturing the heroic moment the security man rescued the baby in the nick of time is currently trending on social media.
In the video, a woman is seen carrying the baby on her neck as she got on the escalator. She seemingly missed her step and the baby fell backwards while she struggled to find her balance on the escalator.
Thankfully, the security man ran with speed to catch the baby before she could fall on the moving stairs and possibly sustain a serious injury.
The security official has been praised on social media for his sharp instinct and heroism while the woman was reprimanded for carrying the baby haphazardly on an escalator.

Popular Nigerian singer, David Adeleke, professionally known as Davido, has made an interesting revelation about his fiancée, Chioma’s appearance in the video of his hit track “Assurance”.
Davido, while speaking about his relationship with Chioma in an interview with media personality Ebuka, said he lied to Chioma in order to get her to be his vixen in the music video.
Davido, who revealed that he met Chioma while they were studying at Babcock University, said that Chioma initially declined to appear ‘Assurance’ video, but he begged her and lied that it was very important and he needed it, so she agreed.
He noted that his fiancée frequently receives hate messages for being in a relationship with him, and she handles the situation well, despite never wanting to be in the spotlight.
Speaking on how he knew Chioma was the one for him, he described Chioma as someone he can leave his other children with other women with and he’s certain nothing would happen to them, even though she’s not their mother.
According to him, he’s known Chioma for seven years, and it was his friend, Lati, who connected them.
Davido released his hit track, Assurance, in 2018 where he praised his fiancée, Chioma, and “assured” her of his forever love.

A Bayelsa-based farmer has taken to social media to express his sorrow after his poultry farm was ruined by the ravaging flood in the state.
The country is unarguably currently facing one of its worst flooding incidents in years. Severe floods have ravaged different states in the country, leaving thousands homeless, farmlands destroyed, and roads impassable.
Some of the most affected states include Kogi, Anambra, Rivers, Benue, Yobe, Delta, Cross River and Bayelsa.
The farmer, who lives in Bayelsa state, took to Twitter to share the state of his poultry farm after it was submerged by floodwaters, leaving almost all his birds dead.
In the video the troubled farmer shared on the micro-blogging platform, hundreds of chickens were seen lying on the floor, dead.
Sharing the video, he revealed the incident has left him totally depressed.
The farmer, who revealed he has lost over three thousand birds, put the remaining live birds up for sale at a paltry price of 500 naira.
“This is my farm in Bayelsa State. The state has been cut off. No way to bring in feeds, nor medics. We are fighting both flood and birdflu at the same time. As at yesterday, I lost 3, 897 birds. My heart is failing me. Totally depressed”, he wrote.

In other news, a Nigerian Medical doctor, Dr. Rommel took to his Instagram to query what women abroad did for their husbands to make them more romantic and loving because Nigerian men at home do not show love like that.
The doctor begged Nigerian women in the diaspora to share whatever special secret they gave their men so men here would also show love like that to their partners.
“Nigerian men are selectively romantic; hear me out before you argue with your keyboard. Nigerian men in the diaspora and the ones in Nigeria are two different breeds. The Naija men abroad especially in America are very romantic and supportive of their wives. They clean, cook, take care of the kids, come and see them at Walmart and other grocery stores shopping. Their counterparts in Nigeria have a different story, they do not lift a finger at home, their wives have to do all the house chores or get domestic staff to help out.
Is it that the women in the diaspora are more romantic, thus making the men more supportive and loving, or is it the weather, or the abroad culture, or the assumption that a man is under the influence of his wife’s “jazz” (voodoo) if he helps round the house?”, he wrote.

Which woman doesn’t want romance from her man? Bobo and Sisi, drop your input!”

Suleiman Adamu, the minister of water resources, has stated that rainfall, not Cameroon’s Lagdo dam, causes 80 percent of Nigeria’s floods.
“All these stories I’ve been seeing on social media, I just laugh because they are misleading,” Adamu stated in Abuja on Wednesday, October 19.
“The contribution of the Lagdo dam to flooding in this country is only one percent. Sometimes they release the water without notice and when they do that, it has an impact on communities downstream but it is not the main reason we have floods in this country — 80 percent of the floods in this country is water that we are blessed with from God from the sky.
This year’s flood, I can assure you, we cannot blame it on Cameroon to be sincere. We’ll continue to have floods on the river Niger and Benue basins. We signed the MOU with the Cameroonian authorities but since then, every year, it is the Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA) that calls them ‘what is your level in Lagdo?’
Even this one when he called them, I was communicating with the DG NIHSA, I said ‘what’s happening in Cameroon?’ He said he has been calling them and they said they have not released any water but they said they will inform us. Finally, they said they will inform us tomorrow, they didn’t inform us, they informed us 24 hours after they had released the water.
They did the same thing two years ago, I wrote to the minister of foreign affairs and Nigeria had to write a protest letter to the Cameroonian authorities that they did not inform us.
It was after our rains had gone down, suddenly we saw floods in Adamawa area and we were asking them. For two weeks they were denying that they had opened the reservoir. Of course, it didn’t go to the confluence, it was limited to the areas of Adamawa state and Taraba. Because like I said, the contribution to the flood by Lagdo dam is not so high.” he said.

Two Abuja neighbors have taken the saying “an eye for an eye” to a new stage by allegedly murdering each other’s children after having an undisclosed disagreement.
A Twitter user with the handle @TokyosBite took to the micro-blogging platform to describe the dreadful scenario between the two women.
“Women are extremely wicked. A woman threw her neighbor’s only child in a well and the child died, the deceased mother retaliated and threw all the other woman’s children in the well too. I’m shocked. This story is very traumatizing and it seem so unbelievable. I can’t believe it either bt it’s phucking true and I’m scared of humans right now. What kinda heart does one have to do this? What level is envy would make someone do this? I can’t wrap my head around this at all.” she tweeted.
Netizens found this story implausible until it was corroborated by another user who claimed to have also heard this same story from her colleague.
“This is true. My colleague was saying it 2days ago, it happened around her area, I think one man village around mararaba.” the witness tweeted.

The Infinix club will also offer scholarships and funding opportunities to active members of the club as well as offer employment opportunities to active and dedicated members who graduate with exceptional grades.

A Nigerian man, Uchenna Nwobi, has been arrested by operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) for allegedly defiling his two biological daughters, aged 3 and 5.
The suspect, who resides in Abagana, Njikoka LGA of Anambra state, was picked up on Wednesday, October 19, after a concerned resident reported him to the Anambra State Ministry For Women and Social Welfare.
Following the complaint, the Commissioner for Women and Social Welfare, Hon. Ify Obinabo, through her Sexual and Gender Based Violence Response team, swung into action and briefed NSCDC operatives who commenced investigation immediately.
During the course of the investigation, the suspect was arrested, and the children were rescued and taken to a hospital for examination.
They were first taken to Ntasi Centre in Enugwu-Ukwu where a doctor confirmed that they were defiled. It is reported that fresh wounds and swelling were on their private parts.
The children also confirmed that they were molested by their father and pleaded not to return to him for fear of being punished.
It was gathered that the suspect started abusing his underage daughters in 2020 after he sent his wife packing over a marital dispute.
Meanwhile, Nwobi, who claims to be innocent, has been detained for child molestation and abuse, and would be charged to court after investigation.

In the chats that the lady simply identified as Favour shared, showing how her fiancé, whom she dubbed “Her Everlasting,” ended their relationship, he just said he no longer wanted anything to do with her and provided no explanation.
The heartbroken lady repeatedly inquired what she had done wrong that made him decide to end their relationship, and he responded by saying, “I gave you a ring because I wanted to, and now I don’t want to anymore.”
He further stated that although they are no longer an item, he doesn’t intend to take the ring he had used to propose to her and suggested that she sell it to take care of herself and her child.
“Favour go and sell the ring. Use it to take care of your daughter. Like I said, I have moved on. I don’t need you anymore, so move on as well. I gave you a ring because I wanted to, and now I’m done,” he told her.
Devastated, the woman shared a video of herself crying profusely as she stirred at the ring.
“Why now, Am so lonely can I ever forget this, Goooddd. Maybe I should tag him so you guys should help me beg him”, she captioned the video of her crying her.
In a very tragic event, four men have lost their lives in a car accident that occurred while they were driving to a nightclub in Lagos on Wednesday, October 19.
It was gathered that a friend of the departed souls was in the car with them when he suddenly received a call from his mother who told him to come and see her immediately.
He initially refused to return home and said he would see her when he returns from the club, but his friends urged him to go home. He alighted from the car and the other guys continued the ride to the club.
Sadly, the four guys were involved in a horror car crash which claimed their lives.
A Twitter user who relayed the morbid incident, @khanofkhans11_, wrote,
“Group of 5 Niggas wanted to go to club last night, one of them halted from the car cos his mom called him to come see her urgently. He said he will see her when he comes back, his friends had to force him to go see her. The four friends died in a fatal car accident overnight. 😔

Recall that a night of tribute and service of songs was held in Lagos on Wednesday night, October 19, in honour of the 29-year-old BBNaija star who passed away last week after a tragic accident.
Several BBNaija stars attended the candle night event, including his close friend, Alex Unusual. It’s worthy to note that it was Alex who announced news of Rico’s accident on social media and called for prayers for him while he was fighting for his life at the hospital.
When she was signing the condolence register at his service of songs, a picture frame/obituary of the deceased star suddenly fell on her head.
Reacting to this, Alex nervously tackled Rico for always beating her, howbeit playfully, at every slightest opportunity he gets and even doing it again at his night of tribute.
The grieving BBNaija star who ascribed a significance to the incident, said “Rico why? Must you always hit me?”
The heartbreaking video has sparked different reactions on social media as netizens share their thoughts on the incident.

But these people now stopped there and climbed on the toll gate, becoming a nuisance, threatening to break down the existing law and order. We can’t stand there and watch them misbehave. The least we could do was to use teargas, any other thing apart from teargas will be more harmful. There is no record of injury. We only did our job and faced those who were unruly.” He said.

“Everyone is cheating on everyone in this 2022, your man is cheating, your girl is cheating.
The funny thing is that the cheating can even be with the same gender.”
