The concerns regarding the welfare and treatment of Nigerian soldiers, particularly those deployed in conflict zones like Sambisa, have not only affected the morale of those already enlisted but also shaped the perceptions of potential recruits. Unlike before, when many young Nigerians saw joining the military as a noble career choice and an opportunity to serve their country, the current state of the army has caused a significant shift in this mindset.

“What kind of child is you (sic),” the mother asked the daughter who refused to accede to her request.” When the mother insisted on the daughter doing what she considered inappropriate, she fought back: “What kind of mother are you? You are a very wicked mother.”Some of us would have been shocked, horrified and lost for words to describe a video that trended last week on TikTok and other social media platforms. A content creator accosted a mother and her daughter walking on the street.

Omo-Agege praised President Tinubu as not just a nationalist, but a courageous leader who has taken bold steps that are pulling the country’s economy back from the brink of collapse instead of transactional leadership that only earns short term and limited development.

Many men desire to marry a beautiful woman. Why not? But they say beauty is contextual and in the eyes of the beholder. True, but some are very clear. There is nothing like “contextual” and “in the eyes of the beholder.” My 97-year-old aunt, my father’s cousin, Mama Theresa Dafiaghor, was one of such beauties. As far back as 1970, when I was a little boy, I knew Mama Theresa was stunningly beautiful. Until she died last December, she remained a beauty to behold.

The Nigerian Police Force has announced that from next Saturday, February 1, it will start the enforcement of the minimum Motor Insurance (Third Party) Act for vehicles nationwide. Consequently, I am revisiting motor insurance a few weeks after I did a similar article. I had to drop the article for today because the enforcement starts next Saturday and this is the last opportunity I have to inform or remind you. The implementation has consequences.
