In other news, Chacha Eke-Faani has said she recognizes herself in the boy who recently wreaked havoc on his mother’s home because she seized his phone.

A report recently made rounds online that the boy, said to be 15-year-old, destroyed everything in the house because his mum seized his phone.

The boy’s mother later spoke up to clear the air. She said her son is 15 and has a mental health crisis.

While reacting to the video, Chacha admitted that she’d done same in the past.

She added that she has destroyed properties and damaged many items when she was having a mental health crisis.

Chacha Eke-Faani’s mental health issues were brought up a couple of years ago when she revealed she was leaving her marriage and hinted at being abused by him.

She later revealed that she has a mental illness called bipolar disorder and it gets worse when she’s pregnant.

A 49-year-old widow identified as Dorothy Dike and her son, Osinachi Ndukwe, could not hold back tears as their only vehicle which they acquired at the rate of N1.8.million on hire purchase, was being auctioned for N450,000.

On Thursday the 15th of September, the Lagos State Government through its Ministry of Justice and The state Taskforce, organised the public auction of over 134 abandoned and forfeited vehicles, at Lagos State Task Force’ headquarters, Alausa, Ikeja, where a crowd of auctioneers, agents, buyers and vehicle owners gathered to salvage the best out of the situation.

The Widow and her son were happy at the beginning when their mini bus (Korope), with number plate, ANAMBRA NEN 347 YX, was displayed for auction with an opening bid of N50,000, but the joy was short-lived because few minutes later, the bid kept increase and when it hit N430K, the atmosphere changed as they wept profusely, rolled on the ground, and begged for price reduction.

The bid was about to close when suddenly the mother and son shouted N450,000 loudly, “help us, help us, please, don’t increase the price again. We cannot afford this but we are hopeful that the vehicle will be ours so that we can work again and raise money to feed ourselves.”

In her words ;

“Help me, help me. I am happy to repurchase the bus but the problem is that we cannot afford N450,000. I am a widow with two children and I hawk herbs on the streets of Lagos for survival. Osinachi is my son and I lost his father three months after delivery and since then, I have been battling to feed my children.

When we heard that the bus will be auctioned today, we borrowed N59,000 to attend the event. Unfortunately, the price for the bus was closed at N450,000,” she lamented.

Osinachi who was visibly downcast, narrated how he became a commercial driver due to unemployment.

The 31-year-old said ;

“I bought the bus at N1.8 million on hired purchase in 2021 and was plying Ijegun enroute Cele Expressway. The bus was three months old and I had remitted N300,000 when I drove against traffic in Cele area and the bus was impounded.

Not only that, I was sentenced to three years imprisonment which I completed recently but before the completion, information reached me that my three years old daughter was ill due to lack of fund and before I completed the jail term, I got information that she had died.

I am here with my mother with the expectation that we will buy the bus at the rate of N50,000. Surprisingly, the price was closed at N450,000 and we have 48 hours to complete the payment.

We have sold most of our belongings to feed and are left with nothing. This is a great problem before us. My father died while I was three years old and my mother has been there for me but there is no way she can raise N450,000.

Who will I turn to at a time many Nigerians are finding it difficult to feed? I don’t know what to do again”

A young female street beggar was recently spotted using a stuffed baby to beg for alms in Lagos.

A video that was posted online captures the moment the beggar approached passengers in a private vehicle and began begging for donations while holding a baby in her arms.

The observant passengers, however, suspected that the baby was not real, so they asked the beggar to show the child’s face.

She first resisted showing her baby’s face, but eventually gave in when the passengers insisted they would only give her money after showing her baby’s face.

She then pulled back the clothes covering the supposed baby, only for the passengers to find that there was nothing under except additional clothing.
