For this young man, the fear of the dreaded now defunct, Special Anti-Robbery Squad unit (SARS) is the beginning of being smart especially when they’re in your surrounding.
His girlfriend decided to exploit that fear when she pranked him about the Police operatives being around in his compound and asking him what he was going to do about it.
The lady, who made the video is seen walking up to her sleeping boyfriend before she woke him up from his slumber just to tell him that the police operatives were in his compound and were already talking with his friend downstairs.
The young man immediately went into panic mode and was obviously in a confused state but the first thing he could gather himself to do was to hide his mobile device before following his girlfriend’s instructions.
She asked him to stay inside and not make a sound as she tries to handle the situation.
The hilarious reaction of the young man has left netizens laughing and also wondering why he chose to hide his phone. Watch the video as you scroll,

“*True story shared on Radio*
I am a medical doctor & my hubby is a software developer. We both had good jobs till my husband lost his job & getting a new paid job was hard, we decided that I travel to Canada till we’re stabilized, he would join us with the kids. We have 2girls.
Dec 2018, I decided to come to NIGERIA for the festivities to celebrate & our 20th wedding anniversary.
When I arrived, I noticed a tensed atmosphere between my daughters and their father. I thought it was the teenager – parent’s issue, so I ignored it but when I noticed that my daughters would sometimes be rude to their father, I demanded to know what was going on. This became a matter of concern cause, my daughters used to adore their father.
I tried severally to get my girls to speak but all they had to say was for me to talk to my husband.
I had to ask my hubby what was going on. He told me it was nothing he couldn’t handle & that our girls were keeping bad company in school & cause of this, he decided to disallow them from going out & attend parties. He drops them in school & creates time to pick them from school.
I was happy as such strong hand is needed for my girls. I ignored their attitude. Few days to when I was to travel back to Canada. I called my girls to talk to them. After a long talk, they told me that daddy did not want them to go out cause he was having sex with both of them.
When my husband came back from the office, I confronted him and they repeated what they told me in his presence. My husband denied vehemently but the girls insisted that it was the truth. I was confused and I sought the counsel of our pastor and his parents.
They called our girls & they said the same thing. I didn’t know who to believe. My husband kept begging me to believe him but I just was not ready to listen cause I could not see reason why our children would lie about such. I made arrangement and took my children back to Canada with me despite the loans I had to take, for the extra costs. While I filed for divorce. I raised my children alone for about 3years.
Then I heard the news that my now ex husband was getting married to someone else. I mentioned it to the girls and expressed how sad I was that
a man that would do that to his daughters went scotfree because there is no evidence to push a case. I bursted out crying while apologizing to my girls about what he put them through. It was there that they confessed that their father did not touch them.
That they lied cause their father did not give them freedom to do what they desire & they wanted to leave NIGERIA. My world shattered. Where do I start from? How do I beg my husband? What do I say? Probably, I should have trusted my husband, but I was just trying to be a good Mom I lost a good man. How do I get him to forgive his children and I ? Can I still save my home ?
Who will you blame in this story? The Children who lied on their Father cause of Freedom or the wife that didn’t trust in her husband despite him pleading he was innocent? ”

The Grammy nominee was a guest on Jada Pinkett Smith’s Red Table Talk, in an episode aired on Facebook on Wednesday, April 22, where she made the revelation.

Although people who identify as non-binary are referred to as “they”, a representative of the singer said she would still continue using she/her pronouns.
Janelle has been very open to sexual and gender modification as in 2018, she came out as pansexual in an interview with Rolling Stone.

Taking to his Instastory, the actor who recently welcomed a child with his wife, stated that the counterfeit products in Nigeria seems to be more than the original.

“The fake products in this country is more than the original.
And the painful part is that some of this vendors will sell the fake the price of original.
Even if you must sell fake, why can’t you have the fake and the original so anyone that can’t afford the original will then have the option of buying the fake.
Somethings our problem is not the government, our problem is us.”

In his words ;
Since when did sexual content started being cool in kids cartoons and comics?? KIDS HEAR WITH THEIR EYES PROTECT THEM.
Parents protect your children at any cost.
The enemy is completely out to disciple the ones he can especially through what they watch.
Because he knows the children hear with their eyes.

A Nigerian man using a John Doe alias, has taken to Twitter to explain why men shouldn’t wait till they have money before finding a wife.
@jon_d_doe asserted that if a man waits until he is financially stable before finding a wife, there is a higher chance that he will marry the wrong woman.
According to him, it’s better for men to settle down with the woman who stood by them during their struggling days, instead of looking for a new woman to marry when they eventually make money.
Read his full post below,
“If you wait until you think you’ve gotten money before you start to look for a wife, the probability of finding the wrong wife is high. Let me not sound like a broken record. A lot of you in relationships have actually found your wives. But because you’re broke, unstable, you lack the confidence & conviction to make that woman believe in you,
It may sound somehow, but one reason she may leave you is because you’re “throwing things open”.
You’re afraid to commit to her & not fulfilling it when things look up for you. So you don’t want to “promise” her anything. I was also advised this way too. I also understand why a lot of men will rather not promise anything as no one can predict the future.
But come to think of it….
Wouldn’t you rather want your day one ride or die chick to be your future wife?
Trust me, all these marriage fanfare and engagement will only just be formalities. You’ve long been married just not official.
When she’s eating your money, you’ll be happy because you know she worked for it with you.
She drank Garri with you, why not eat chicken with you?
Why must someone else enjoy it and why should another man enjoy yours?
Didn’t you guys have a plan? Or you Just wanted to be fuck buddies? Common that’s waste of years.
You’ll always meet beautiful women, even as a married man, they’ll chase you.
But there will always be that missing “spark” if you don’t marry that woman who knew you from day one.
Just cast your minds on how your parents met. Most, had nothing but they worked things out.
I may be wrong, as I can’t prove it, but let’s not doubt it much if our fathers met our mothers as mostly virgins before marriage.”

A 21-year-old Zambian student, Rebecca Ziba, has been arrested by the police in Russia for twerking at a war memorial.
Ziba had taken to her social media page to share a video of herself twerking on a World War II memorial in Khanty-Mansiysk and captioned it; “Shaking ass for the dead, I’m sure they are sleeping well tonight.”
The Russian Government didn’t take kindly to her actions and described it as “obscene” and “insulting”, the caption was also tagged “offensive”.
She has now been charged to court under Part 4 of Art. 354.1 of the Criminal Code, which accuses a person of “rehabilitating Nazism”. The charge attracts a three-year jail term.
In another video shared online by the Russian Investigative Committee, Ziba is seen in what looks like an interrogation room, apologizing profusely for her actions, while stating that she didn’t mean to offend anyone with the video.
She said,
“I want to apologise to everyone for the video that I posted on the 16th of April. Without knowledge of knowing what it meant and who it was going to hurt or upset, I posted a video of me dancing on a monument,” she said
“The video that I posted, I didn’t intend it to be offensive, neither did I mean it to offend anyone or to be disrespectful to those people that died. And because I did not know what exactly it meant, I never thought it would be this big. I am very very very sorry to everyone, I didn’t know. And if I knew I wasn’t ever going to post it. I hope I am understood and forgiven.”
Big Brother Naija star and actor, Ike Onyema has denied shading anyone in the controversial video he shared online.

Watch here
As expected, netizens asserted that he was referring to Mercy Eke in the post as the duo were already talking about marriage before their relationship ended.
Taking to his official Instagram page to clear the air, Ike said he was not trying to shade anyone and the video was taken out of context.
He added that he and Mercy Eke have since moved on from their failed relationship and are both happy in their respective lives.
He wrote,
“Hey I usually won’t say anything regarding assumptions and speculations around my post, but I think it’s high time I address this issue, especially if someone I respect and care for is being mentioned knowing fully well she’s going through a loss.
My post/tiktok was not in anyway to shade anyone. She was a part of my journey. We’ve both moved on and are happy.
Moving forward I hope my post do not seem like a subliminal shade.”

A Nigerian Twitter user has cried out after he mistakenly transferred N130,000 to a cab driver instead of the N1,300 he was charged.
According to the young man known on the microblogging platform as @hensennygold1, he booked the ride using a popular ride-hailing app in Lagos. The driver arrived in no time and conveyed him to his destination.
On arriving at his destination, his bill was N1300, so he opted to pay by bank transfer. However, he mistakenly paid N130,000 into the cabbie’s account instead of the N1,300 that was charged.
Taking to Twitter, he disclosed that all efforts to reach him so he could make a refund had proved abortive.
In an updated tweet, he revealed that the cabman had transferred the money from the account to another account. He also added that the cabman’s deliberately turned off his phone, making it impossible to reach him.
“Mistakenly sent 130,000 instead of 1,300 to a bolt driver and he refused to pick up his and now switched off.pls guys,help me repost this till the
@Boltapp_ng help refund my money.D @Boltapp_ng support are not responding also.
Nothing happened to his phone,he has been putting it on and putting it off…he has also transferred the money from the account to his second bank… I knew I fucked up for making such mistake but who never fucked up,hands in the air…..I’m tweeting to let you guys know that @bolt @Boltapp_ng contacted me this morning via call that they are not able to reach the guy and I’m free to contact the Nigeria police ”. His tweet reads.
A man who reportedly hid his cousin’s UK visa days before he was to relocate out of Nigeria to study, is said to have confessed 20 years after the incident.
Twitter user, @Lady_itohan, took to the micro-blogging platform to share this story in reaction to the trending conversation about people who became extra cautious after securing their visas to travel abroad.
Some disclosed that they reduced their movement and stopped going out for fear of dying in an accident. Others narrated how they safeguarded their travel documents and refused to tell any soul where they kept it.
Reacting, Lady Itohan stated that their paranoia is justified because not everyone would be happy that they are leaving the country in search of greener pastures.
She went on to reveal that her uncle’s visa disappeared few days before his trip and the culprit who happened to be his cousin, confessed to stealing it 20 years later after battling a strange illness.
According to her, her uncle is almost 80-years-old now but the incident killed his dreams.
“His paranoia might seem hilarious but my uncle’s visa varnished some days before he was to travel to UK for school and that was the end of his dream! The thief, his cousin, who was jealous at that time, confessed 20 years later!!! #TrueStory
Happened when my uncle was 26…He’s almost 80 now. His cousin confessed when he was about to die as a result of a strange ailment.”

The response Nigerian singer-songwriter, Wizkid gave his former record label, Bankole Wellington for saying he was disappointed he missed his wedding has stirred a frenzy on social media.
However, Wizkid’s response cannot be unconnected to a statement he made on his Snapchat page some months back.
With a number of netizens sharing varying opinions to his controversial “LOL” tweet some hours back, with many saying he gave a vibe of not being humble and all, the fact that Wizkid gave that response should not be unconnected to a statement he made on his Snapchat page some months back.
Recall that on his Snapchat some months back, after the singer was linked to some controversial happenings at the time, he stated that his answer to everything will be “Lol” and “Ok” and telling whomever it may concern to “Chop life”.
Here’s a screenshot from what he posted at the time,
While a lot of netizens have given his “Lol” tweet to Banky’s statement a lot of interpretations, it’s pretty obvious that the “No stress” singer did only what he said he would.
The only issue with this now, is given the social construct on the internet space, the acronym “lol” which means “laugh out loud” has a myriad of meanings. In Wizkid’s case, it’s quite hard to decipher which meaning he uses but it’s we know we’re going to get from him as response to Banky’s statement.
A Nigerian man simply identified as Toyosi has been thrown into mourning after losing his fiancée in a fatal car accident.
On Thursday, April 21, Toyosi resorted to Twitter to express his anguish at his loss while also declaring that Nigeria had failed him.
According to him, he and his fiancée were involved in a ghastly accident in his car in March 2022. While he narrowly escaped, she died and the car was a total wreck.
The man explained how government personnel he interacted with during and after the accident that took his fiancee’s life let him down in in the discharge of their duties, posting photos of his wrecked car. He further mentioned that following the disaster, others took advantage of the circumstance to steal from them.
“I am an accident survivor (March 22 2022) and I have so much to say. Lost my fiancée who was beside me in this incident (while I drove) one month ago at Tollgate Ibadan. I honestly lost a treasure. Dropping this right here because I will refer back to this incident for good in months and years to come. Nobody needs to ask me if I’m broken or not, I am., I couldn’t save the LOML. I couldn’t and it’s so painful.
To the person who jumped from nowhere to the express and made us run into a trailer, God sees you even tho you escaped (you can’t run from God).
To FRSC officials who arrived at the incident with no first-aid till she gave up beside me while we were transited to the far located hospital and to ppl who took advantage of the situation to rob the accident car and steal while our lives were been fought for, thank u so much.
