When I still smoked, we had this spot around Garki marrket where we lit up. Myself, Fred, Leke & 'Vlad'. We were rolling up to smoke per usual one time when Leke suddenly said he felt wet all over like he had just taken a bath. He kept saying his shorts were soaked but we could-

🇭🇹🇸🇻‼️ | Bukele cumplió: pidió en X la dirección exacta de la casa del jefe de la banda 400 Mawozo y prometió destruirla. Días después, la lujosa residencia de Wilson Joseph en Croix-des-Bouquets quedó reducida a escombros tras un operativo de la Policía de Haití y tropas salvadoreñas, según el Miami Herald. Joseph, buscado por EE.UU. con una recompensa de 1 millón de dólares, habría escapado y estaría escondido.

This guy on live gives his reasons for being threatened if an Igbo president emerges in Nigeria, saying it's because of some things they've done in the past. I'm glad the host is well informed because such a narrative would have flown if he wasn't countered immediately in the same clip.

So, I did something in class today during our 20 minute break session. It pains me that I forgot to do a video recording. I showed this tweet to 5 different people; a guy from America 🇺🇸, another guy from Australia 🇦🇺, and three girls from Russia 🇷🇺, Bulgaria 🇧🇬, and South Korea 🇰🇷. My question to them was very simple; “what do you think about this tweet I saw on the internet?”…….. The girls from Russia and South Korea could barely even comprehend the tweet and let me not say what the two guys actually said. 😂😂😂 Again, what you guys are doing in Nigeria is not LOVE but a GENITAL-Ponzi Scheme, and one day, you lots will tell yourselves the truth. But for now, as we were. 🚶🏾‍♂️🚶🏾‍♂️🚶🏾‍♂️🚶🏾‍♂️
I'm not your typical Nigerian girlfriend who shamelessly makes a man responsible for every bill. I've paid a man's electricity bills every month, bought his groceries every week while shopping for mine, made sure his favourite perfume never ran out, and taken responsibility for his skincare because I was the one who introduced him to it. The monthly allowance he gave me wasn't even enough to cover all these things, but I didn't mind because I earned more than him and I understood the genuine intention behind his giving. I know how to receive, but I also know how to show up financially for a man I genuinely care about. Love should never be a one-way transaction.

Born before television entered ordinary homes, he now keeps in touch on WhatsApp. Today, my father, Ogbueshi, is 100 years old. On November 9, 1926, the world he entered was almost unrecognisable. Queen Elizabeth II was a six-month-old baby. Lufthansa, Mercedes-Benz and McKinsey were newly established. Television had just been publicly demonstrated. In Nigeria, the Union Jack flew over a British colony, and the Daily Times had only begun publication. He was 33 when Nigeria became independent. He was 39 when the first military coup came in 1966. He lived through the tragedy of Biafra, the return to civilian rule in 1979, and the long years of military government. In 1999, he witnessed the restoration of democracy, and he has now seen 27 unbroken years of it. He has travelled from handwritten letters to the telephone, and from the telephone to the smartphone. Today, he chats on WhatsApp, transfers money on his banking app, and still reads the news online. A man born under colonial rule now moves with ease through the age of artificial intelligence. Yet his life has not been made of change alone. He has buried all his siblings and outlived his two wives. He has known the joy of raising a family and the sorrow of saying goodbye to those he loved. Through it all, he has remained steadfast. His mind is clear. His health, within the limits of age, is remarkable. No terminal illness. No debilitating disease. As a teenager, I never imagined he would see 70. A hundred was beyond my imagination. November 9 has always been special to our family. My youngest brother was born on this day, and on this date, I married the love of my life at the Anglican Cathedral of the Advent, Life Camp, Abuja. This morning, we will gather around him and sing his favourite hymn, How Great Thou Art. On December 27, we will gather at St Andrew's Church, Obosi, where he was baptised, to thank Almighty God for a century of mercy. A hundred years ago, the world was different. Nations have risen, empires have fallen, and inventions once unimaginable have become ordinary. Through it all, one thing has remained constant: God's grace. Happy 100th birthday, Papa. Your life is our testimony. #100YearsOfGrace #chidoka100 Osita Chidoka 9 November 2026

In 2003, a circle of rich men in London and Cape Town decided they could buy a country. They hired an Old Etonian soldier, rented an army of forgotten veterans, and bought a 40-year-old Boeing. T This is the story of the 'Wonga' coup.

Unfortunately, it's what it is. This is from a married woman of over 20 years. Her husband is in his 50s, and their kids are still schooling.

Adnan Rashid joined my stream and tried to prove Jesus is a Muslim. Check this out and decide whether Adnan, a Historian and Top Dawah debater, is any better than a random TikTok Muslim. youtu.be/nupWT1xjJtI

On Monthly Allowance. I'm not even against it. You would know if you've seen my tweet from the past. It is how you people frame it and talk about it, that is disgusting. There is no aspect of love that is gendered because love is not a masculine responsibility, it is a lover's duty. Whether you're a man or woman is frankly, irrelevant. If your partner loses their job and you're earning N200k. You could decide to give them N50k monthly till they get back on their feet. You have other responsibilities but they have become primary. If you earn a lot more than your partner. N4m to N250k. You could decide to put them on N250k or whatever, monthly, to supplement their income due to the extant economic reality. Once you see your money as "our money" love is easy. You want to see your partner happy and in a good place. Understand that while doing either of these, you're still both invested in each other and building a home together in love and togetherness. The problem with the "monthly allowance discourse on the TL" is that it revolves around vagina entitlement. You think you deserve it just because you're a woman or because you think you 'give him sex.' Some of you are in same tax bracket as your man or even earn higher and still feel entitled to monthly allowance. Are you an armed robber? You cannot claim to love anyone and put them in dis-ease. How are you comfortable collecting monthly allowance from someone that earns same as you while carrying more responsibilities than you? You don't love them. The first principle of love is kindness. You must put your partner's best interest upfront. Having said this, I totally understand people who are against it because it could lead to entitlement. Look at you people that haven't even started collecting it, and you feel very entitled to it. Interestingly, same you that claim you deserve it, have sworn you cannot do it for your man. Are you not a witch? It is gross hypocrisy to demand love you cannot give. Love is for lovers. You only deserve the love you give. Many of you don't deserve shit. You tweet shit for clout and validation, and to esteem yourself highly in the eyes of potential mates. But when vagina is your only premise for deserving an allowance, you make it obvious to the gallery that you're nothing more than a hors d'oeuvre to the vagina hunters.

Can you see a proper Omoluwabi? Made sure the reckless driver was caught. People like him deserves to be celebrated. From Fadeyi to ikorodu , hopefully police do there work to help the man get justice
The truck driver who hit a person and refused to apologize, attempting a hit-and-run, was eventually tracked down and caught. The guy received a really severe beating 😂 The truck doesn't even have a number plate..

I remember in high school there was a Palestinian Muslim girl, she was brilliant, popular, everyone liked her. She wanted to leave Islam and would point blank say that she couldn't because her family would honor kill her, even here, in the USA. When she graduated some of her friends had to essentially help her disappear and start a new life free of Islam. Hope she made it.
Replying to @Phatymarh44
You don’t hate Muslims. You hate the version of Muslims someone taught you to fear. Be honest. How many Muslims have you actually sat down with? Shared a meal with? Had a genuine conversation with?
