Last Monday was a black day for members of a parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, in Abuja, was invaded and set ablaze by people believed to be religious extremists. The incident took place around 5am at the Root of David Area Headquarters in Apiawe village, DeiDei, via Kubwa, one of the satellite towns of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The hoodlums were said to have made away with musical instruments and other valuables worth millions of naira belonging to the church before they set it on fire. Some people, who spoke at the scene revealed that the attackers were many but their actual number could not be ascertained. “The people came in the morning and stole everything in the church and burnt it down. The worshipers were not in the church when the incident happened as it was very early in the morning,” one of the eyewitnesses, Danjuma Abdullahi, said. Narrating the story, the Pastor-in-charge of the parish, Pastor Oladele Stephen, said he received a distress c

It’s quite funny how often I check my notification bar to see whether someone have followed me or liked my write-up. Now I feel like it’s becoming an obsession and oh boy! It’s not one I’m ready to let go. I am envisaging that in the nearest future, I would be doing more of this. Whenever I receive a notification, I can’t help but smile because it means I matter and I begin having this feeling of being special. I do it on Facebook Pinterest, Twitter, Whatsapp, Gmail, Yahoo, Bebo, My Friends, MySpace, Skype, Blogger, WordPress and hell even on Medium. Sometimes I would wish there was an app that keeps me posted on every likes and comment I get so I don’t have to check up on it every millisecond. I virtually feel a constant need to be approved — My appearance, philosophical beliefs, emotions, ideologies, passion and opinions are crying and bleeding to be heard and acknowledged. I literally post pictures on Facebook and check every minute I can spare how much likes I’ve ma

A young Nigerian guy, who goes by the name Adebiyi Muizz took to Facebook to celebrate his much older white wife as she turned a year older today. The woman, Susan Smith, is American and lives in Portland, Washington. She looks like she's in her 60s. She is retired, according to her Facebook bio. She married to Adebiyi in February, 2015. He shared photos of Mrs Adebiyi and wrote: "My love and respect grows for you with each passing year. I am truly blessed to have you as my life partner. The various ups and downs that we have faced together in the life have further strengthened our bonding, love and respect for each other. May you be blessed with the choicest blessings from dear God? There never be any sad moment in your life. You always remain happy and cheerful, this year and in years to come. Love you from the bottom of my heart.

Monday, 6 February, 2016 Nigerian Police Force (NPF) took over strategic locations in Lagos metropolis in readiness for the anti-government protest initially planned by popular musician Innocent Idibia alias 2baba. The popular musician cancelled the protest on Sunday citing “security concerns and public safety consideration.” However, some groups vowed to go ahead with the protest in spite of the cancellation by its initiator. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that over 100 policemen were seen as early as 7.00 am at the National Stadium, Surulere, the planned take-off point of the protest. The police team, led by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, came to the National Stadium, with over 15 vehicles and one Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC). NAN reports that other locations in Lagos metropolis with heavy police presence were the Gani Fawehinmi’s Freedom Square, Ojota and the National Theatre, Iganmu. NAN reports that at 9.00 a.m, a group of

The world of fashion is always trending with new designs. Fashion is a form of art and self-expression. It is inspired by art, music, history and culture. Fashion is an eternally evolving outlet for expression. The continued self-reinvention of the fashion world, and the fast pace at which it evolves, manifests itself in peoples' taste and choices. Same holds true for Bugarii Couture - Festac's trending Fashion Icon who have swept many off their feet and won the hearts of many with his designs which are breathtaking and exceptionally exceptional. Bugarii sews his passion for fashion into each and every fabric and has eye for good fabric materials.

Tuface Idibia posted a video on online mobile photo-sharing site Instagram late Saturday night explaining the reason for canceling the One Voice Nigeria protest scheduled for Monday, January 6, 2017. “After due consultations, it has become clear that the One Voice Nigeria protest scheduled to hold in Lagos and Abuja on Monday, 6th February is under serious threat of hijack by interests not aligned with our ideals. “The point I intend on making is not worth the life of any Nigerian. It is motivated by the need to demand a better deal for the ordinary Nigerian. “I therefore announce the cancellation of the planned protest … I appreciate the massive support and I am convinced our voices have been heard,” he said. 2Face who had called for the protests last month to demand solutions to Nigeria’s crises received backlash from government officials and later a warning by police who called for a halt of the protest in Lagos for security reasons. “Information reaching us revealed th

The admission by Nigeria that its air force accidentally targeted a camp for people who have been internally displaced represents a significant change in attitude by the forces fighting the terrorist insurgency known as Boko Haram. In what the Nigerian officials have described as a "regrettable operational mistake," fighter jets on Tuesday bombed the camp as part of an operation against Boko Haram in Rann in the northeastern Borno state. Mistakenly believing that a gathering of Boko Haram terrorists was in Borno, Nigerian Maj. Gen. Lucky Irabor says his forces "got the coordinates and I directed that the air (force) should go and address the problem." As it is now known, the jets hit innocent civilians who had been fleeing Boko Haram attacks, killing at least 70 -- including some members of Red Cross staff -- and injuring many more. The airstrike has once again raised questions about Nigeria's ability to defeat the terrorists. The conflict to

Everyone desires to be something Each desires embedded with wanting These wants may be good or bad Surely these makes up a lad Many are tempted to go the extra mile Some are willing to wait a while Some wonder to themselves What a sick faith! That one must wait Some ponder to themselves When will these all go away? I need to find a way! I once remember a child So meek, gentle and mild Who grew up with preposterous ideas and desires He wished that all properties, wealth and fame he could acquire But he never knew there was more to life than these Acquire them all he did, but numbered surely were his days Because even all the money and fame could not restore his health Many famous people who believe they have found a friend Will soon realize they are all fiends They will soon realize power and money is exotic And those faces in plastic Wanting a new look to their new achieved height Would soon be feeling hate Towards their cravings They’ll wish they had listen

When I gaze at the world Am amazed by what I see I wonder how the earth came to be I wonder how everything in it was spoken to life And then it came to be The day, evening and night How do they tell when to switch? Who tells the sun when to scorch us? Who tells the rain to wet us? Who tells the cold to wrinkle our skin? Who? Just who? I look at creatures At their different displays of emotions And I’m still unable to fathom Why everything and everyone seems different Even I wonder how I came to be Because I just grew up knowing that I existed And when I look at how many have failed In their duties to life I tell myself I do not want to be a failure Never to my generation and my procreation I tell myself I would make it I tell myself never to be a failure That I would work hard But there goes another fear! Work hard? Many have been working hard! Why then haven’t they made it? Most have nothing to show for being loyal and hardworking Most say hard work pays Some say it doesn’t I grew up

Wonders they say shall not end. I think it's high time these politicians start behaving like Nigerians. They approve substandard projects and sit back like they have done a great deal for the country. The commonwealth of our country was evenly distributed and it was channelled towards the growth and development of the country; schools were built, hospitals, roads and the welfare of the Nigerian people were taken care of. But immediately greed, and the quest to make wealth through the back door set in, politicians lost patriotism for our nation. Bad leadership and poor governance has led to the failure of patriotism in our nation. Politicians use imported goods and send their children to the best schools abroad. The daughter of Oyo State Governor - Ajimobi (video above) is spraying money at a party in UK. Notice the way she was stoning the money with such narcissistic pride; children of politicians should be banned from schooling abroad with laundered money while the poor mas
