A Nigerian woman has cried out for help after her husband tricked her and their kids into visiting Nigeria and allegedly absconded with their travel documents.
The woman in an emotional video making the rounds online narrates how they lived happily as a family in Spain, until he deceived them into returning to Nigeria, and abandoned them here ever since without any just reason.
She revealed the husband, who she identified simply as Chinedu, returned with the family from their base in Spain under the guise of having a vacation in their home country, Nigeria. He later returned to Spain alone and blocked every means of reaching him.
She bemoaned that she had no idea it was a ruse, and that her husband had immediately returned to Spain with their travel documents, effectively ending their chances of returning to the European country.
The woman, amid tears, claimed that her husband’s actions were not natural and accused her husband’s sister of spiritually manipulating him.
President Muhammadu Buhari has apologized to Nigerians for the inconvenience caused by the lingering shortage of fuel and power outages in the country.
In a statement shared via his official Facebook page on Wednesday, March 16, 2022, Buhari issued the apology while noting that his administration had successfully averted such a problem in its seven years in office.
Speaking further, the president assured Nigerians that the government is working round the clock to attend to this issue, and an action plan agreed upon earlier this month is being implemented to address the scarcity.
The statement read in part,
“I deeply regret the inconvenience caused Nigerians, following a prolonged shortage of petroleum products, something that our administration has successfully averted in our seven years in office. This administration knows the fuel shortage has placed a strain on Nigerian citizens and businesses, but relief is on the way.
I especially apologize to all sections of society for this. The government is working round the clock to attend to this issue. An action plan agreed upon earlier this month is being implemented to address the scarcity. Working together with the Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria (MOMAN) and the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), this plan is now bearing fruit.
Sufficient fuel supply has returned to a handful of states, with the queues at stations falling. In the coming days, we expect this to be the case across the rest of the country. Looking to the longer term, funds are being targeted toward keeping fuel available and affordable for the country.
The international energy markets have surged drastically in recent months, the government will however ensure that consumers are protected against these price spikes.
I have received information that some people are not behaving properly at the depots and among owners of petrol stations, and in this regard, I have directed the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), the NNPC and the entire security apparatus of the nation to take strong action against those responsible. On the issue of electricity blackouts being experienced across the nation, the blackouts seen in the national grid are also being addressed.
A dip in hydroelectric generation due to seasonal pressures has coincided with technical and supply problems at thermal stations. On this, the government is also working tirelessly to resolve the issues at these stations, to guarantee sufficient power flows into the national grid.”

With that said, I’ll be officially changing my pronouns to they/them.
I feel that this best represents the fluidity I feel in my gender expression and allows me to feel most authentic and true to the person I both know I am and still am discovering. I want to make it clear I’m still learning and coming into myself – I don’t claim to be an expert or a spokesperson. Not only has my life been a journey for myself, I was also living for those on the other side of the cameras.”

Gay rights activist and public speaker, Bisi Alimi has taken to his social media page to rant about the situation of things in the country.
According to Bisi who criticized the government of the day, with the number of religious centers in Nigeria, the country shouldn’t be in the messy situation that it is in presently.
He further asked Nigerians to stop praying for Nigeria, but instead start demanding for better governance from their political leaders.
Read his full post below,
“If there is a God/Allah and prayers work, with the amount of churches and mosques in Nigeria, that country shouldn’t be a mess that it is now.
The most depressing part of this madness is, Nigerians aided by their religious leaders will still find a way to justify voting for these league of stupid black men.
Stop praying, start demanding! Good governance is your birthright as a citizen of Nigeria and active citizenship is your obligation.
Even worse is the reality that there are people in Nigeria who can make Nigeria work but Nigerians will not vote for them, hence they can’t be bothered to put their names forward.
My people are so stupid and brainwashed that if you are not APC or PDP, nothing for you.
Honestly, (saying this with tears in my eyes early in the morning) Nigeria and Nigerians deserve better.
I know how passionate, determined and hardworking Nigerians can, and they deserve better life, better future, better govt, better leadership than this Titus pretending to be salmon.”
