The traffic hawker whose video where he gave handouts to prisoners inside a correctional service vehicle went viral online, has given reasons for the thoughtful gesture.
The video of him where he was spotted along Ajah axis of Lagos giving money to prisoners who were being transported in a truck, went viral on social media for heartfelt reasons.
His irregular show of kindness garnered traction on social media which got the young man an interview with a journalist who asked him aboujt the reason for his action.
According to the traffic hawker, unlike the prisoners, he is privileged with freedom, which was his sole reason of giving to them.
“I gave the prisoners money out of pity, Though I am very poor and sell pure water, I still have my Freedom, I can eat whatever I want to eat and go anywhere I want to go, but the prisoners do not have that freedom,” he said.
Operatives of the Lagos State Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have arrested one Bolarinwa Oluwasegun, a fake Army General, for an alleged N270 million fraud.
The suspect is reported to have posed as a General in the Nigerian Army. He allegedly made false representations to a complainant, Kodef Clearing Resources, that President Muhammadu Buhari had shortlisted him and one other to be appointed as the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) and that he needed a short grant “to press and process the appointment.”
He reportedly forged a letter of appointment as COAS purportedly signed by the President and showed the same to the victim to further prove his claim. In the said letter, he claimed that he needed to pay a certain amount of money into the coffers of the Federal Government of Nigeria, as part of the requirements for the appointment as COAS.
EFCC Spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, in a statement on Thursday, January 13, said the suspect in his bid to defr#ud the victim, also allegedly forged several documents and the signature of the President.
“He was arrested at his house in the Alagbado area of Lagos State on Wednesday, January 12, 2022. Upon his arrest, six pump action g#ns, three cartridge b#llets, a swagger stick and several forged documents were recovered from Oluwasegun, were recovered,” Uwujaren said.

She was also spotted holding on to the man’s cloth as she dragged him around before people intervened.

opular Nigerian IG influencer and comedian, Gloria Oloruntobi, known better as Maraji, has said men are not useful for anything except to get women pregnant.
The newlywed skit maker, who is currently pregnant with her first child, gave this statement after her spouse failed to put the edible cowhide (pomo) she was meant to cook later in the fridge.
In a video she shared on her IG stories, she revealed that when she asked him about it hours later, he told her he wasn’t aware that he was supposed to put it in the fridge.
Reacting, she said in Pidgin English that women won’t need men for anything if they could get pregnant on their own. She said: “Like my mummy will say, e no get wetin dem dey use man do (men are not useful for anything)“.
She then said she’s “beginning to acknowledge” that her mother’s words are true.
The management of a private secondary school in Akwa Ibom State has responded to an allegation of child abuse made against one of its staff.
A Facebook user, Celestine Mel took to the platform to share photos of the student identified simply as Udeme, alleging that she was beaten ruthlessly by a staff of the school, King Solomon Secondary School in Uyo.
Mel revealed that the SS3 student is his relation’s daughter and alleged that she got beaten because her “school uniform was too short and goes against the Bible“.
He wrote,
When a relation of mine forwarded disturbing images, regarding the bestial brutality visited on her daughter, who is an SS3 student of King Solomon Secondary School, a privately owned co-educational institution in Uyo – Akwa Ibom by Mrs. Ndifreke Etim Asuquo, the daughter of the proprietress, who also doubles as the school’s admissions officer to me today, I was initially hesitant to believe my eyes. The gravity and beastliness of the sight scared daylight out of me. It was a Monday morning, and I was busy at work. I needed to focus on my to-do list and the many Monday meetings. So, I let it be.
Try as I could, my mind did not depart from those scorching pictures. I kept prancing between Microsoft Projects Office Suit, (which is my primary work tool), and the WhatsApp webpage which I used to archive the ghoulish pictures. Each visit to WhatsApp haunted me like a bad dream. I started hating myself and my environment. I was feeling tormented, raped and brutalized. I scoffed at the lack of empathy and grace, that could have provoke such violence by whomsoever, on my friend – Udeme. Some of unsightly videos are too graphic to share. Whodunnit?
Upon returning home this night, I demanded for and got the phone number of the beastly child-abuser. A woman for real? I was filled with more rage; too bitter to ring her up, to ask why she defiled this little angel so cruelly. As the adrenaline rushed down my veins, I summoned the courage to dial her. I needed to hear her side of the story. To be fair to her. And my conscience. I needed to convince myself that it was a dream.
At the second ring, she answered. The following dialogue ensured:
“Hello, my name is Celestine Mel, calling from the FCT. I’m I speaking to Madam Ndifreke of King Solomon School – Ewet Housing Estate Uyo?” I asked.
“Yes, this is Ndifreke”. She answered.
“Dear madam Ndi, I got this disturbing information regarding an incident in your school today, 10th January 2022, wherein you have been accused of beating your student – Udeme and causing serious bodily injury to her. I want to hear your own side of the story. What happened?” I asked.
“I cannot speak on the matter. I will sue you for intruding into my privacy. I am a mother, a wife and a woman. I did not act alone. I acted on behalf of the school. The school would respond officially. Bla..bla..bla.” Ndifreke answered. Then the phone went blank. I continued to hear crackling noises at the other end…. Then I hanged up.
From her tone, it was very easy to deduce that I just spoke to a wickedly cruel monstrous and unapologetically merciless child bully. I could not imagine myself caught up in this sort of story, akin to the recent shenanigans in Dowen College Lagos. Or the Deeper Life High School Uyo. I needed to get to the root of this. I called up my relations and asked them if they would wish to tell this story to the world. They consented and sat down with me to bare it all…
Ndifreke accosted Udeme this morning at school, accusing her of violating the school’s dress code. The charge was that her school uniform was too short, and goes against the Bible, which (according to Ndifreke) forms the moral pillar of the school. She wanted to strip the child down. She does it to other students. The child tried to run away. Ndifreke descended on her, using every weapon within her reach: cane, stick, planks, etc. From the head to her back, shoulder, thighs, legs, etc. There were bumps, blood and bruises. She looked like a lucky survivor, out from a bombed-out rubble in a war zone. The head bulged out. The eyes blood-shot. He skin peeled here and there, lacerated and bleeding. She left the school by foot and in pains, and walked home by foot, several kilometers away. Alone. With no mercy. Or money. Or pity.
The mother who dropped her off only a few minutes earlier, could not understand the turn of events. She literally ran mad. My child? Who? How? Why? Questions. More questions. No answer….
I am told that King Solomon Secondary is a notorious haven for child abuse. I am told that stories abound in the schools’ WhatsApp group of similar outrageous incidents, wrought on female students by the belligerent Mrs. Ndifreke, who operates above and beyond the law, and whose conduct goes unchallenged. I could visualize her cold-heartedness from my little phone encounter with her this night. She was neither remorseful nor contrite. She sounded bellicose and haughty. She must have gulped from the forbidden jar of intoxicating raw naked power, luxuriating with the self-assurance that the authorities which should regulate the conduct of schools, are too impotent and too lethargic to act. She loathes the idea that she broke the Child’s Right Act by physically harming a child that was left under her paid-care, on the first day at school. After the Christmas break – the symbolism of love itself.
I will let the pictures and videos that follow, do the rest of the talking. I know that the parents of Udeme, reported the abuse to Ewet Housing Police Station, which issued an extract for medical assistance to the victim. I am adding my voice to condemn this unconscionable act of disproportionate violence by yet another school, on the body and flesh of the girl child. I call on the authorities, especially the government of Akwa Ibom State to swing into action, arrest and prosecute all those involved in this crime and take every action necessary, towards saving our schools from continuing to serve as slaughterhouses for our children.
I know I have supported the use of strong disciplinary methods in schools in the past, to help mold the character of the child. But I never supported any form of bodily injury or breaking of the law to harm somebody’s and anybody’s child in the name of discipline. It happened to my own very dear and precious friend, Udeme, as she spends this night in the hospital. Today ……
#TooMuchIsTooMuch
#JusticeForUdeme
In response to the claim, the school stated that Mel’s account is an exaggeration of what happened. They confirmed that the incident centered on the student wearing “short school uniform“, but accused the student of “rebuffing and muttering offensive words to the staff“.
Their statement read;
“On Monday, January 10, 2022, the resumption day of (the) second term for the 2021/22 session, a female student in SS3 was spotted coming to school with (an) inappropriate dress, a skirt with (an) edge above the knees.
“One of our staff, Mrs Ndifreke Etim, who is a member of the Management Board, accosted her on grounds of the wrong dressing, but the said girl rebuffed, muttering offensive words to the staff, a behaviour that prompted the use of cane on her,” Ubong Akpan said in a statement on Tuesday.”
The school revealed that the girl’s parents were not pleased with the incident, but that its management were already on the matter before it was “overblown and taken to social media”.
The statement added,
“While it is obvious that the version of the story circulated by Mr Mel is an exaggeration of the true state of things, we acknowledge the established grievances of (the) girl’s parents who have remained reliable stakeholders in our school and have taken steps to resolve the issue amicably.
“It should also be known that our school has never condoned child abuse of any kind, or harbour abusers. Our staff are well cultured and our students are bred in line with accepted standards of school administration. The staff in question is one of our best and does not deserve the unpleasant tags on her personality.”
Responding to the claim made by the school, Mel wrote,
RE: THE SORDID COLD-BLOODED ABUSE OF THE GIRL-CHILD IN KING-SOLOMON SECONDARY SCHOOL UYO, AKWA IBOM
Ordinarily, I would not have continued to join issues with the owners, Management and Staff of King Solomon Secondary School – Uyo, over the now-viral case of child torture, abuse and molestation which I painstakingly reported two days ago, and which is attracting the attention of relevant law-enforcement agencies.
I have however been forced out of that self-imposed hiatus to issue this statement, by the hurriedly cobbled self-indicting Press Release, issued by the school today, 12th January 2022, signed by one Obong Ubong Akpan who claims to be the Principal of the school wherein, my name was copiously mentioned.
I have taken time to parse the release and I make bold to state as follows:
1. I do not know the proprietor, staff or owners of King Solomon International School. Not the least Mrs. Ndifreke Etim and so, I have nothing personally, against them.
2. The story of the abuse of girl-child Udeme which I broke, has just been validated by the school as true, by the confessions contained in the said press statement.
3. Specifically, paragraph two of the press statement, reproduced as follows, says it all:
“On Monday, January 10, 2022, the resumption day of second term for the 2021/22 session, a female student in SS3 was spotted coming to school with inappropriate dress, a skirt with edge above the knees. One of our staff, Mrs Ndifreke Etim who is a member of the Management Board accosted her on grounds of the wrong dressing, but the said girl rebuffed, muttering offensive words to the staff; a behavior that prompted the use of cane on her.”
4. The use of cane on her for getting to school with mini-skirt and muttering offensive words against a Management Board member is exactly the unarguable validation of the truth, regarding the culture of coldblooded callous child-abuse, laceration, torture, injury, etc., which the school and her Management have normalized.
5. Their obstinate refusal to understand that the brutality visited on citizen Udeme by them, is against the laws of the land and runs contrary to the UN convention on the rights and protection of the child, Nigeria’s Child Rights Act (CRA) and other laws enacted to protect children from bullying, torture, battery, cruelty and abuse speaks volume about the sort of horror under which children exist in the school and in their minds.
6. More specifically, I wish to remind King Solomon Schools to find time to study the statutes, vis-à-vis their responsibility to the children whom they are paid and licensed to teach. The following clauses in the Child Rights Act (2003) readily come to mind:
NIGERIAN CHILD RIGHTS ACT SECTION 11.
Every child is entitled to respect for the dignity of his person, and accordingly, no child shall be:
(a) subjected to physical, mental or emotional injury, abuse, neglect or maltreatment, including sexual abuse;
(b) subjected to torture, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment
(c) subjected to attacks upon his honor or reputation;
NIGERIAN CHILD RIGHTS ACT SECTION 221. Restriction on punishment
(1) No child shall be ordered to be
(a) imprisoned; or
(b) subjected to corporal punishment or
(c) subjected to the death penalty or, have the death penalty recorded against him.
7. By trying to turn the story against me as one Celestine Mel and exonerating the assailant/child abuser – Mrs Ndifreke from blame, whom the statement venerates as one of our best and does not deserve the unpleasant tags on her personality I dare say, King Solomon is still living in the fading illusion that the school and her promoters are above the law and would continue to promote their culture of violence based on so-called high moral standard with zero tolerance for indiscipline without regrets.
8. The physical torture of citizen Udeme, no matter her offense, whom they admittedly and wickedly bruised and scarred, has done more damage to the already dented image of the school than I could possibly do.
9. It is not true that the school took any steps to reach out to the parents of the victim to assuage the hurt and trauma that they visited on their child until I broke the story. Indeed, they started running from pillar to post after it became obvious yesterday that my expose would turn the worlds attention to their reprehensible (and unlawful) modus operandi. They have sent several emissaries to me to pull down the story so as to protect the investment that the late proprietor made in school. I have all the conversations recorded in the clouds and would publish them at the appropriate time if the need arises.
10. What I have nor heart is what they would do to re-orientated their abusive board members on modern child care techniques and penance for the callous brutality on citizen Udeme.
10. The public should note that I reached out to the school on the night of 10th January 2022 (12 hours after the incident) to hear their side of the story for balance, but Mrs. Ndifreke roundly and arrogantly rejected the opportunity and chose rather to threaten me with court action if I dared publish this damming expose. I published this story after I was convinced that they broke the law and were cruel.
11. This entire issue means so much to me (a proud father of tender kids myself and the son of a teacher who was a strict disciplinarian himself) and I would never stand anyone who brutalizes my child the way Mrs. Ndifreke did, no matter the provocation. Torture is not discipline. Hurt is not morality.
Finally, I undertook this project with the intention to spark frank conversation about these accepted abusive practices, to draw global attention to the scourge of child abuse in our environment and to let people know that we have left the barbarian age long ago. Torture and molestation that still exist in our school system is not only injurious to the child, but breeds further violence which metastasizes to create the violent society we all live in today. More so, it is a crime. It is unthinkable that a licensed school would admit publicly (in this century) that it used cane on a 16-year old because she wore skirts above her knees and muttered abusive words to a management staff to the extent of lacerating her body; and is gutsy enough to claim that the public should disregard any publication seeking to discredit our school as it is our continued vision to raise responsible individuals in the society, give value to education system as well as relentlessly advocate for the right of every child. Everyone concerned with this dastardly act must be punished to serve as deterrent to other schools, who make violence against children their go-to pastime. We shall get to the bottom of this.

A Nigerian journalist, Austin Bebara Abaye JP, has opined that men who cheat on their wives love them very much, unlike women who cheat on their husbands.
Comparing a cheating man to a cheating woman, Austin noted that a man who is unfaithful to his wife by going out with another woman is still in love with his wife, while an unfaithful wife will never love her husband.
Taking to Facebook to share his opinion, he wrote,
“A cheating man is still very much in love with his wife but a cheating woman will never love her husband”.
This statement attracted divergent views. Some social media users agreed with him, while others had contrary opinions. See some comments below,
@Ritex Philip, “Weldone cheaters of d most high. No one person is a custodian of bad behavior”.
@Bodmas Kemepadei, “there is no manual for cheating my dear. This cheating nonsense is a choice. It’s not a mistake. If a woman can be faithful a man can as well..no be only una get hormones. If I’m not mistaken, a woman has a very high libido yet decides to be faithful.. how can u say u love ur wife and cheat on her. Make una carry dat kind of love comot for my face abeg”.
@Chinonye A. Maureen, “Why cheat if you still love your wife?”
Ace comedian, Bright Okpocha, professionally known as Basketmouth, has reacted to the arrest of Instagram skit maker, De General by men of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
Officials of NDLEA stormed De General’s house in the early hours of Wednesday, January 12 to conduct a search and ended up arresting him.
The federal agency, in a statement released later that day, said that drug exhibits, including cannabis sativa, Tramadol 225mg, and 1.5 kilograms of cannabis sativa, were recovered from the Comedian’s house.
Reacting to this, Basketmouth, in a video he shared on social media, said arresting De General over what he called a small patch of weed is a waste of tax payers’ money.
According to him, there are bigger problems that need the government’s attention than embarrassing young boys. He, however, noted that he’s not in support of the use of drugs, but some of these young boys take these substances to keep their sanity because of the happenings in the country.

Speaking further, the mom of three stated that she used the criticism as a “catalyst” to begin to love herself and see herself the way God sees her.
She captioned it, “All my ‘Premium Pie’ and ‘Finest in Lagos’ talk has an origin story. This is it. While I am super nervous to share, the urge to finally speak is greater. I love you and thank you “

Ah Ah. If there’s anything I’m sacred of in this world eh, Its “MARRIAGE “coz I grew up without knowing my mother, yea! She was alive but doesn’t have access to my Brother and I. My parents were divorced. The first time I saw my mom was in my Ss1. The last time I saw her was inside Coffin. I knew what I went through which made me to be sacred to marry the wrong guy. My Mom earnest prayer for me was to find a right and understanding partner. With her heart she never wanted me to experience little of what she experienced in an abusive relationship.
It has always being my silent prayer, Atimes I wish to just make money, have kids with no man. My Dad being an typical Igbo man and I as Ada will always remind me that,” Di bu Ugwu nwanyi. Don’t get me twisted everybody mustn’t get married. But the Universe heard my silent prayer and wiped my secret tears. I will be 26 and my husband is 30 plus.

Nollywood actress and disc jockey, Dorcas Shola-Fapson, has opened up on why she grew up hating her mother.
Dorcas shared this during a recent interview on “Tea with Taymesan” Podcast.
She said her parents moved to the UK when they just got married but didn’t have the required immigration papers.

According to her, this made her grow up hating her mother because she believed she never loved her. However, she stated that now that she is older, she understands her family’s predicament better.

Ex-Nollywood actress, Caroline Hutchings, formerly known as Caroline Danjuma, has for the first time spoken about her divorce from her estranged husband, Musa Danjuma.
The mother of three while advising people going through a divorce noted that that her divorce from Musa Danjuma made her feel like a failure.
According to her, she blamed herself for not having a perfect marriage and for the mistakes they both made in their marriage until she embarked on a journey of self-discovery, which helped her heal from the hurt and realize her failed marriage does not define her.
“I blamed myself for not making a perfect marriage , I blamed my self for both faults of ours until I started healing then I knew I was not a failure. I prayed to God for assistance most importantly to forgive my self and him.
Rather than hate the outcome of what was , I chose love and peace of mind for what is . We both ain’t perfect and that is what makes us human . I dealt with the hurtful words from friends and strangers , the stigma and constant mockery without knowledge of what truly happened .
God whispered I am with you and that was it . My journey to finding me began and I never looked back . I came , I saw , I conquered , most importantly I have found my lost identity .
Healed , restored , unprovoked, loving and blessed ..#howcarolynagothergrooveback.. thanks to @lanreolusola who spoke through the words in the Bible to help me find my way .
Some of us are better off as friends than lovers . It is ok to see a professional counselor , you ain’t mad you just need clarification .It is ok to fail and rise again . Let God lead you . No hate but love always . Accept your faults forgive the other and move on in peace.
This is my first time talking about my divorce , not an easy journey ,most times very painful moments especially if you are a perfectionist and kids are involved . Kill the hate it will only ruin you . If you are wondering how you will pick up financially trust me you will ,just stay focused and determined . Love without regrets.” She wrote.

He was in possession of Tramadol, a schedule 2 narcotic without prescription. These pill pushers need to face the law. BTW Juicewrld DIED when the plane landed.

We asked for magic
We were oblivious to the pain we would face together in such a short, frenetic period of time. Unaware of the work and sacrifices the relationship would require from us but intoxicated off of the love. And the karma.
Somehow a year and a half later, having walked through hell together, and having laughed more than I ever imagined possible, he asked me to marry him.
And just as in every lifetime before this one, and as in every lifetime that will follow it, I said yes.
…and then we drank each other’s blood
