A Nigerian Soldier recently went viral on social media after he made a video where he cried out that he’d been abandoned by his colleagues and he also called on God to save him.
The Nigerian Army has reacted to a viral video by the soldier purportedly abandoned by his colleagues during operations and the soldier’s action was described as “misleading, diversionary, a calculated attempt to whip-up public sentiment and cover up his act of cowardice.”
According to the Director Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu, it was the soldier who abandoned his colleagues and absconded in a display of outright cowardice during an ongoing clearance operation in Gurara, Niger State.
Read the statement below ;
“The attention of the Nigerian Army(NA) has been drawn to a viral video making the rounds on the social media, where a soldier on Wednesday, 30 March 2022 claimed to have been abandoned by his colleagues during operations,” the statement read.
“Contrary to the claims and impression created by the soldier in the video footage, preliminary investigations have revealed that the video footage was a deliberate attempt to shield himself from being accused of cowardice, having abandoned his colleagues during an ongoing clearance operation in Gurara, Niger State.
“It could be recalled that troops of the NA, recently carried out a clearance operation in Gurara Local Government Area of Niger State. Disappointingly, during an encounter, the said soldier abandoned his colleagues and absconded in an outright display of cowardice and possible sabotage, which negate the precepts of the military profession.
“Sensing the gravity of his action and its consequences, the soldier surreptitiously uploaded the video online in a calculated attempt to whip-up public sentiment and cover up his act of cowardice.
“The soldier’s action amounts to a betrayal of the esprit de corps and comradery that are synomous with a military unit and fighting formation, particularly during operations. The soldier’s conduct is therefore an aberration and against the ethics and core values of the military profession.
“The video footage is thus, in all intent, and purpose a misrepresentation of what actually transpired between the soldier and his colleagues.
“The soldier has rejoined his unit and further investigations are currently ongoing to unravel the reasons behind his unprofessional conduct.”
The Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, has denied media reports claiming he said Nigerians should contribute money for the treatment of victims of the Monday, March 28, train attack.
On Thursday, news made the rounds that the Minister on Wednesday asked Nigerians to contribute money for the injured victims. The Minstry has however come out to clarify the statement.
The Statement which was signed by the Director, Press and PR for the Ministry reads;
The Ministry of Transportation’s attention has been drawn to the story carried by the print media and other online platforms quoting the Minister of Transportation , Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi as asking “Nigerian people to liaise with the hospital management and see how much they can contribute to the treatment of the patients” is false and a terrible misrepresentation.
On the contrary, what the Minister said and we have it on record is: “I have said to the Nigerian Railway Corporation to liase with the hospital management and see how much they can contribute for the treatment of patients”.
In light of the above, we urge the public to disregard these publications as it is not a representation of what the Minister said when he went to commiserate witht he bomb blast victims at 44 Nigerian Army Reference Hospital and St. Gerald’s Catholic Hospital, both in Kaduna on March 30, 2022.
Officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, on Wednesday, March 30, 2022, secured the conviction and sentencing of an internet fraudster, Etegene Japheth, to six months imprisonment before Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo of the Special Offence court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos.

Japheth on or about the 16th day of February 2022 in Lagos, had in his possession several documents containing false pretences, one of which is a record of his conversation with several unsuspecting victims via his email address: [email protected], wherein he represented himself as Mr. Tim Graw and Tom Cruise in order to obtain gift cards and money from them.
He pleaded “guilty” to the charge when it was read to him.
In view of his plea, the prosecuting counsel, Blessing John, reviewed the facts of the case and tendered in evidence the statement of the defendant as well as the bundle of fraudulent documents printed out from the iPhone 12 recovered from him.
He was, thereafter, sentenced to six months imprisonment, with an option of N200,000 fine.
The convict was ordered to also forfeit all items recovered from him to the Federal Government of Nigeria.

However, after a five-year legal battle, Justice Ahmed Ramat Mohammed, in a judgement, held that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt.
When the verdict was given in his favour, Yakubu got emotional and couldn’t control himself, as he was seen shedding tears of joy.

In other news, Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has proposed a solution to the persistent bandit attacks and insecurity in Nigeria.
The clergyman while reacting to the Abuja-Kaduna train attack said the major cause of insecurity in Nigeria is the lack of respect for God and his prophets by the government of the day.
In a statement signed by his Media Aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele said he had warned against terrorist attacks on Nigerian airports, railways, and train stations but “because of the arrogance the government has towards God, they never bothered to listen or follow his instructions on how to avert it.” Read here.

He shared the screenshot and the debit alert he received after sending the money to the debtor and wrote,
“You see why people never help! I borrowed this guy 750k since June 2021. Money he asked me to borrow him for a month, he defaulted & after 3 months he paid 300k. The remaining 450k, till now he hasn’t paid. See what the person sent me this morning. I should draft a letter. Lmao.”
Nigerian singer and song-writer, Yemi Alade has explained how she would tell a man she had sex with that he wasn’t good in bed.
Speaking on a sex and relationship podcast called “Aylipservice”, the self-acclaimed Mama Africa averred that it is extremely devastating when a man is heavily endowed in the groin region but doesn’t know how to use it on a woman.
When asked about her experience and how she would tell a man that his bedmatics skill is below par, the singer said she would have a conversation with him, asking that they try out another sex position instead of the previous one she didn’t enjoy.
She however noted that this approach might not work because Nigerian men would assume that she has slept with other men, hence why she wants him to try out new sex positions.
The 33-year-old singer added that Nigerian men are very egoistic and telling them that they are not good in bed might bruise their ego.
A Nigerian lady has taken to the micro-blogging platform, Twitter to tender a public apology to her ex-boyfriend weeks after accusing him of domestic violence.
A while ago, the lady identified as @Adura_x on Twitter took to social media to accuse her now estranged lover, @Dondekojo, of assaulting her.
She claimed he physically assaulted her during a quarrel after confronting him for allegedly cheating on her with another lady on Twitter. Adura said he tore her shirt and in self defense, she picked up a knife.
The man had proclaimed his innocence at the time, claiming that he had put a CCTV camera in his room, and the footage proved that the accusations against him were false.
However, in a tweet on Thursday, March 30, Adura tendered an apology to him and a lady she had initially called out.
In the recent tweets she admitted to falseley accusing her ex and asked that he forgives her for tainting his reputation.
“Dear @Dondekojo, I want to apologize for falsely accusing you of domestic violence, you did not hit me and I was never harmed, I apologize for attacking you. I want to apologize for all the inconvenience these allegations caused to you including the damage to your reputation. I hope you accept my deepest apologies. I would also like to apologize to Funke Onafuye for wrongly accusing her of stealing a dress. I have since deleted all my tweets and regret the distress and inconveniences that my actions caused to you. Thank you.” She tweeted.
Popular Instagram comedian, Mr. Macaroni, has shared a video which captured his hilarious reaction when a lady he gave the liberty to request any amount from him, went overboard with her request.

Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has proposed a solution to the persistent bandit attacks and insecurity in Nigeria.
The clergyman while reacting to the Abuja-Kaduna train attack said the major cause of insecurity in Nigeria is the lack of respect for God and his prophets by the government of the day.
In a statement signed by his Media Aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele said he had warned against terrorist attacks on Nigerian airports, railways, and train stations but “because of the arrogance the government has towards God, they never bothered to listen or follow his instructions on how to avert it.”
Speaking further, he urged security operatives to create a department for spiritual intelligence where they will join forces with prophets who can tell them terrorists’ targets and how they can overcome them.
In his words,
“In my recent prophecy, I had warned the government of Kaduna State against bombings, it’s not surprising that bandits attacked facilities in the state, all these are happening because the government doesn’t respect prophets, they see prophets as beggars or publicity seekers which is very wrong.
“As a prophet, I have enough publicity and God has blessed me so well, the ignorance of the government to prophetic warnings and advice is the cause of this crisis in Nigeria, they feel they can do it alone and where has that taken them to?
“The service chiefs, DSS, need the department of spiritual intelligence where they will join forces with prophets who will tell them what to expect, where to expect it according to God’s directive. Other countries do it but in Nigeria, we have an arrogant government that doesn’t refer to God, listen to him and berate him.
“Prophets talk every day because God speaks always, it’s the responsibility of the government and security formation to pay attention and work on it. You can’t take chances when it comes to issues about national security.”

The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has appealed to Nigerians to raise money for the treatment of those injured in the Kaduna-Abuja train attack.
The politician made this appeal on Wednesday, March 29, during his visit to the 44 Nigerian Army Reference Hospital in Kaduna where the victims are being treated.
According to him, the Army have been treating the patients without any charge since the incident, and have administered drugs not manufactured in Nigeria to the patients.
He then asked Nigerians to contribute money for their treatment.
His exact words,
”The CMD and I have been talking, the army has not charged one kobo on any patient, and they have given the maximum medical treatment that they can give to any patients.
”You saw the patients with burns and then the one that has bullet located in her heart. They are bringing an expert tomorrow for that one to see if there will be surgery or not to take out the bullet.
”They said they have only seven (patients) left and the rest have been discharged. The ministry, and I think the federal government, are grateful to the Nigerian Army for providing such services. But one thing I have said to the Nigerian people is to liaise with the hospital management and see how much money they can contribute for the treatment of the patients.
”Obviously those drugs are not manufactured here, the experts they are bringing from outside doesn’t work with the army, so they definitely have to pay them. We will try as much as possible to see what contributions we can make to the management of the hospital to assist in taking care of the patients.”

According to the Actor, the Police officers labeled him a fraudster because his Twitter handle was different from his name on his school I.D card.
Read his narration below;
I just came out from police detention now and I was extorted. They stopped my bolt ride at 3rd mainland bridge and they said I should enter my school portal after I told them I’m a student which I did. I showed them and the saw my profile. They left there and stated checking my social media. Checked my Twitter handle and asked why is my name thespiankadesh (my nickname because I’m truly a thespian) when my school ID is showing Edobor Efosa Clinton (my real name). They said I’m a fraudster. They checked my WhatsApp and saw transactions of me buying Bitcoin and giftcards as I’m a mini vendor and they said I’m a yahoo boy.
They entered my bolt ride and told the driver to drive to EFCC office at Ikoyi. When we got close, they stopped and asked me how much I can give them because if I get there it will be worse. They said I should bring 5 million Naira because I’d spend more to bail myself if I get to efcc office. I said I don’t have that kind of money and they asked how much I have. I don’t know how to do thread. Long story short, I was extorted off my hard earned money. This country will not end me. I’m still in shock and pains. It was like I was kidnapped. They didn’t allow me access to my phone to at least call my family members. This happens about 45 mins ago. I don’t have a large Twitter audience that’s why I’m tweeting under this tweet. I must leave this country.
Veteran singer, 2face Idibia has shared his thoughts on the monies said to have been looted by former military dictator, late General Sani Abacha.
Taking to his Instastories, 2face opined that Abacha possibly didn’t steal the billions of dollars linked to him, but kept them in foreign accounts away from people who wanted to loot them.

He wrote,
“If to say Abacha actually thief this money we for no fit recover am. abi na only me dey think this thing.
