You have only $20 to get woman of your choice

"As a strūggling young man, what is your last 2k doing in a girls account? - STOP GIVING W0MEN MONEY".

"You are stingy" will always be better than "you are broke".

Some of you are strūggling because you are performing husband duties at a young age. If you must spend on a wōman, she should be your wife first.

Before you play Father Christmas for someone who isn't your responsibility, ask yourself:
Food dey my stomach?
Light dey my house?
I never dey çrāze like this?
-You fit surprise say na çrāze dey worry you small small.

That girl you're going hungry for; she has two hands and two legs like you, do not take responsibilities that are not yours".

7 THINGS THAT CAN MAKE YOU BROKE FASTER THAN VILLAGE PEOPLE

Forget jazz, forget enemies from the village—some of you are going broke at lightning speed, and it’s not because of witchcraft. Your own lifestyle is the real problem!

If you're always wondering "Who is eating my money?"—relax, Oga. The answer is you.

BRUTAL THREAD:

1. CHASING EVERY WOMAN YOU SEE

You think you're James Bond, moving from one fine girl to another, sponsoring their hair, nails, and data? Brother, you are your own Yahoo boy.

One babe says “I need urgent 2K”—you send.

Another one says “My rent is due”—you pay.

Next thing, your account balance is calling for GoFundMe.

Meanwhile, the same girls are in group chats laughing at you: “This guy dey try sha.”

Solution: Stop being an ATM with no PIN code. Focus on one woman or yourself first.

2. LIVING LIKE A BIG BOY WHEN YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE IS SHOUTING HELP

Your salary is 50K, but you're in clubs ordering Hennessy like Davido. You don’t even have a car, but you're buying drinks for strangers—WHO SENT YOU?

Rich men are saving, you are spraying money.

Dangote is investing, you are doing “Odogwu” at the bar.

Elon Musk is buying companies, you are buying bottles for slay queens who don’t know your surname.

When the landlord comes for rent, you’ll start saying “Boss, abeg, things hard.”

Solution: Cut down on fake luxury. Even Jeff Bezos wears simple T-shirts. Be wise.

3. SENDING MONEY TO FAMILY LIKE CBN

Your uncle calls: “We need money for burial.”
Your aunt calls: “No food in the house.”
Your younger brother: “School fees.”

Now your account is empty, but when you need help? Nobody picks your call.

Oga, you are not the Minister of Finance. Even government doesn’t share free money like you do!

Solution: Learn to say NO sometimes! Help when you can, but don’t let family turn you into their personal budget.

4. ALWAYS BUYING THE LATEST PHONE TO IMPRESS WHO?

Last month, you were using iPhone 12.
This month, you saw iPhone 15 Pro Max and sold your kidney to buy it.
Next month, iPhone 16 Ultra Mega Max will drop—what will you sell next? Your destiny?

Meanwhile, the person you’re trying to impress is using Tecno Pop 5 and doesn’t care.

Solution: If your current phone is working, rest. Your future is more important than “Dynamic Island.”

5. FALLING FOR EVERY FAKE INVESTMENT SCHEME

They told you "Invest 50K, get 500K in 2 days."

You ran like Bolt, deposited your money.

Now, they’ve blocked you, and you’re writing epistles on Facebook: “Dear Nigerians, beware of fraudsters!”

Oga, they didn’t scam you, you scammed yourself!

Any investment that sounds like magic money is a Ponzi scheme in disguise.

Solution: If you don’t understand the business, don’t put your money there. Learn to invest wisely!

6. GOING BROKE JUST TO IMPRESS SOCIAL MEDIA

Your house rent is due, but you're buying designer shoes to take pictures for Instagram. Who told you “likes and comments” can pay rent?

You posted “Soft life only.”

But in real life, you’re trekking and borrowing money for food.

If your phone falls, you’ll cry because you can’t afford to fix it.

Solution: Stop forming fake rich life. Invest first, flex later.

7. BEING TOO LAZY TO MAKE MORE MONEY

You sit at home, scrolling Facebook from morning till night, complaining: “No job, Nigeria is hard.”

Meanwhile, opportunities are passing you by! Are you expecting an angel to drop money from the sky?

People are making money online—you are watching TikTok videos all day.

People are learning skills—you are arguing about football.

People are opening businesses—you are waiting for your rich uncle to die so you can inherit land.

Solution: Get up and hustle! Even the Bible says “A lazy man shall not eat.”

BOTTOM LINE:

If you're always broke, stop blaming village people. Your habits are the real witchcraft!

Live within your means.

Invest before you flex.

Stop impressing people who don’t care.

Make smart financial decisions.

If this post hit you hard, don’t cry. Just change your ways!

When he was done dressing his wife, he asked the people around if their husband treats them the way he did with Regina.
While at that, the caption of the video argued that every woman dreams of a love like the politician and the actress, but cannot have it.

“Every woman dreams, but only a few wake up to a love like this. Can your husband ever? @regina.daniels is the most blessed”.

Watch the video below:

TheTalk.NG reported that Nigerians stormed Regina Daniels Instagram post about Iyabo Ojo and her daughter Priscilla to take a swipe at her.

The mother of two had shared her good wishes to her senior colleague and her daughter after the lavish wedding the actress did for her daughter.

In the post, Daniels prayed that Priscilla’s home will be protected and blessed while also wishing her a lifetime of joy and laughter. However, the post didn’t go down well with her fans, who went to her comment section to lash out at her.

Many taunted her over her marriage to her politician husband. They asserted that she got married to an old man and does not know what it feels to be married to a young, rich and famous man.
Some others pointed out that her husband was not satisfying her in the other room. They lashed out at her for being the 6th wife of her husband.

New video of Regina Daniels and Ned Nwoko gets many talking.

They asked young girls to learn from Priscilla Ojo and not from the actress when it comes to the issue of marriage. Recall that Regina Daniels recently returned to her social life with her husband after rumour that they had parted ways.

DON’T MARRY JUST ANY WOMAN, MARRY A WOMAN WITH COMMON SENSE.

1. Marry a woman who has sense enough to know that respect in marriage is mutual, not one-sided.

2. Marry a woman who has sense enough to know that you are not an ATM machine, and providing for the family is a shared responsibility when necessary.

3. Marry a woman who has sense enough to know that love is not just about what she can receive but also what she can give.

4. Marry a woman who has sense enough to know that being a man does not mean you don’t have emotions and that your struggles and mental health matter too.

5. Marry a woman who has sense enough to know that submission does not mean slavery, and partnership does not mean control.

6. Marry a woman who has sense enough to know that when you are tired or stressed, she should also be willing to support, whether by cooking, making things easier, or simply being considerate.

7. Marry a woman who has sense enough to know that intimacy is not a weapon for manipulation or punishment but an expression of love that should be mutual and consensual.

8. Marry a woman who has sense enough to know that disagreements are normal but should be handled with maturity, not silent treatment, disrespect, or emotional manipulation.

9. Marry a woman who has sense enough to know that your dreams and aspirations matter just as much as hers and that marriage should be a place of support, not competition.

10. Marry a woman who loves your soul, not just your status, money, or what she can gain. Marry a woman who enjoys talking to you, not just demanding from you.

May you not miss it in marriage

THEGOSOEL THAT TOOK THE BLOOD OF THE APOSTLES IS THE ONE TAKING YOUR PASTORS TO THE BANK, AND BECOMING THE RICHEST IN FORBS LIST

THIS SHOULD TELL U THAT THEY ARE PREACHERS OF ANOTHWR GOSPEL,

ON THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT, U WILL UNDERSTAND BETTER

YOU DON’T HAVE A S*X PROBLEM — YOU HAVE A SELF-CONTROL PROBLEM

It’s not about women… It’s about the war in your own mind

Let’s settle this once and for all:

S*x is not your enemy. Women are not your downfall.
Your real problem is you can’t tell yourself “NO” — and mean it.

You don’t have a lust problem.
You don’t have a girlfriend problem.
You have a discipline problem.

And here’s how it’s destroying your life quietly — while you think it’s just “normal behavior”…

1. You chase women, but you don’t chase purpose.
You know how to text her non-stop…
But you can’t stay focused on your goals for 3 straight hours.
You have energy for sweet words…
But no energy for self-improvement, study, or money-making.

That’s not a s*x issue.
That’s weak self-leadership.

2. You can delay pleasure with money — but not with women.
You’ll save up to buy a phone.
You’ll wait 3 months to get a new sneaker.
But you can’t even say “no” to your body when it starts calling.
You’re financially wise… but sexually foolish.
And that imbalance is killing your power.

3. You know it’s wrong — but you do it anyway.
You feel guilty after sleeping with her.
You regret it after you masturbate.
You swear it won’t happen again…
But two nights later, you’re back at it.
That’s not just habit — that’s a lack of control.

4. You’re ruled by urges, not purpose.
You wake up with ideas…
But by noon, you’re back in her DMs.
You had plans…
But her body made you forget all of them.
You can’t dominate the world if you can’t even dominate yourself.

5. You call it love — but you’re just addicted to lust.
You don’t love her. You love what she makes you feel.
You love the ego boost. The fantasy. The temporary escape.
And because you can’t detach,
You stay stuck in toxic cycles that waste your time and kill your growth.

6. You ask God for help — but you never say no to temptation.
You pray. You cry. You fast.
But when she texts “come over,”
You forget all your anointing.
It’s not about prayers — it’s about principle.
Until you discipline your body, you’ll keep falling in the same trap.

7. Your energy is leaking through your cravings.
Every time you chase s*x instead of your calling,
You give away your power, your time, your strength.
And it’s why your dreams feel dry.
Because you keep watering women, not your goals.

8. You can't sit in silence without craving pleasure.
You get bored, you want s*x.
You get stressed, you want s*x.
You get lonely, you want s*x.
You’ve made s*x your medicine — and now you’re hooked.
You don’t need more s*x. You need more purpose.

9. You train your brain to give up easily.
Every climax without discipline tells your mind:
“Instant reward is better than long-term success.”
So you stop grinding. You stop building. You start cutting corners.
All because you trained yourself to quit when things get hard — and chase what feels easy.

10. You’re not addicted to her — you’re addicted to escaping yourself.
S*x is your way of avoiding the uncomfortable truth:
That you’re not where you want to be in life…
So you hide in a woman’s body instead of fixing your own journey.

Bro, hear this clearly:

You don’t need more women.
You don’t need another round.
You don’t need late-night texts or temporary highs.

You need control. You need mastery. You need silence, structure, and standards.

Because a man who can’t say no to his urges
Will say yes to every distraction — and miss his destiny.


Danny CEO

Didier Drogba:
"Torres' time at Chelsea wasn't as expected. Some even said it was one of the worst signings in the club's history in terms of performance compared to the price paid for him. But he scored a goal that will remain in the memory of the Blues forever.
Torres was not part of coach Di Matteo's main plans during the 2012 Champions League campaign. He was only used for about 10 minutes across both legs of the semifinal against Barcelona.
The equalizing goal he scored back then was historic and important for everyone. I remember he received the ball after a dangerous Barcelona attack near our penalty area. Xavi Hernández tried to pass through the depth of our defense, and if Torres hadn’t been in the right place at the right moment, Barcelona might have had one last chance — and no one knows how that could’ve ended.
In the final minute of the match, he broke free and received the ball alone in Barcelona’s half, scoring the goal. I remember Roberto Di Matteo’s joy and the celebrations of the Chelsea players. After the match, Roman Abramovich came into the dressing room and told Torres, ‘You’re never leaving this place.’"

Captain Ibrahim Traoré: The soldier selling Africa false hope, By Umar Farouk Bala

Traoré’s anti-democratic posture is not a blueprint for development — it is a calculated strategy to entrench military rule under the guise of a populist revolution.

What Traoré is selling is not a radical reimagining of governance. It is an age-old authoritarian tactic: discredit democracy, invoke national pride, and suppress dissent — all while consolidating power… Since assuming power through a 2022 coup, Traoré has suspended political parties, cracked down on the press, and muzzled civil society organisations. He claims these actions defend national sovereignty and promote a “popular, progressive revolution.”
Clad in fatigues and fluent in fiery rhetoric, Captain Ibrahim Traoré of Burkina Faso has emerged as a poster child of a new wave of African populism. To his supporters, he is a revolutionary — bold, youthful, and principled.

To the disillusioned youth across the continent, he offers a seductive promise: progress without the inconveniences of democracy. But behind the revolutionary slogans and Sankara-inspired aesthetics lies a far less romantic reality.
Traoré’s anti-democratic posture is not a blueprint for development — it is a calculated strategy to entrench military rule under the guise of a populist revolution. Let us be clear, Africa has every right to interrogate the forms and functions of democracy on the continent.
For decades, many African states have endured dysfunctional governance, hollow elections, and endemic corruption — even under democratically elected leaders. But that frustration must not be manipulated into legitimising authoritarianism.

What Traoré is selling is not a radical reimagining of governance. It is an age-old authoritarian tactic: discredit democracy, invoke national pride, and suppress dissent — all while consolidating power.

Since assuming power through a 2022 coup, Traoré has suspended political parties, cracked down on the press, and muzzled civil society organisations. He claims these actions defend national sovereignty and promote a “popular, progressive revolution.”
But there is little “popular” about a regime that stifles dissent and sidelines citizen participation. Beneath the rhetoric, his governance follows a familiar authoritarian script: glorify the military, delegitimise the opposition, and centralise authority.

From Housemaid To Oga's Wife Episode Two

Martins and Nnenna continued their secret relationship without any problems. They acted normal during the day, pretending to be nothing more than an employer and his housemaid. Martins treated Jessica like a caring husband, and Nnenna did her house chores without drawing attention. But at night, everything changed. Martins would sneak out of his bedroom and go to Nnenna’s room. They would whisper, laugh, and hold each other in the darkness. It was the only time they could be together, and they cherished every moment.

"I'm enjoying this relationship. I have the woman I love right under my roof. There are no better feelings than this." Martins said to himself.

Jessica had no reason to suspect anything at first. She was living the life she wanted. It was a life of relaxation and comfort. Nnenna handled everything in the house, and Martins provided everything she needed. But after a while, she started noticing something strange. Martins would leave the bed at odd hours. It happened once, then twice. At first, she assumed he was just going to the toilet or stepping out for fresh air. But when it continued happening, she became curious. Why was her husband always leaving the bed in the middle of the night?

"Where does he always go to? This is becoming serious. How can he be leaving the house in such odd hours? I have to find out." Jessica said to herself.

Jessica decided to pay closer attention. She stayed awake some nights, waiting to see if it would happen again. And it did. Martins would quietly get up, check if she was asleep, and then leave the room. He always returned after about an hour. Jessica found it strange. Her husband never had this habit before. Something was not right. She needed to find out what was going on.

One night, Jessica made up her mind. She was not going to sleep. She wanted to see exactly where Martins was going. She lay still on the bed, pretending to be asleep. She even let out soft breaths to make it look real. The clock ticked, and soon, it was 2am. Right on time, Martins slowly got up. He turned to look at Jessica. She did not move. Satisfied that she was asleep, he tiptoed out of the room.

"Today, I must follow you to that place you always go to. I have to find out." She said.

Jessica waited for a few seconds, then quietly got up. She moved slowly, making sure her steps did not make any sound. She followed Martins, keeping a safe distance. She saw him go towards the boys’ quarters. She was confused. Why was he going there? The only person staying there was Nnenna, their housemaid. Jessica’s heart beat faster, but she remained calm. She wanted to see for herself.

Martins reached Nnenna’s door and knocked softly. Almost immediately, the door opened, and he stepped inside. Jessica gasped silently. She could not believe what she was seeing. Her husband had just entered the room of their housemaid. She moved closer and placed her ear near the door. At first, she heard whispers, then soft laughter. Her hands clenched into fists. Something was going on inside that room, and she had to know what it was.

Inside the room, Martins sat on the bed and pulled Nnenna close. He ki.ssed her forehead and smiled. “I missed you,” he whispered.

Nnenna smiled. “You saw me this evening,” she said, resting her head on his chest.

“That’s different,” Martins replied. “I miss holding you.”

Nnenna sighed. “I don’t like this sneaking around. It doesn’t feel right.”

Martins lifted her chin. “Be patient, my love. This is the only way we can be together for now.”

She nodded. She knew he was right, but it still felt wrong. She just wanted a normal life with the man she loved.

Jessica pressed her ear harder against the door. She heard voices, but she could not make out everything they were saying. She took a deep breath and stepped back. She needed to be sure before she acted. Then, suddenly, she heard something else—the unmistakable sound of ki.ssing. Her body stiffened. Her husband was in there, doing something with Nnenna? She was not sure, she could no longer control herself.

Jessica raised her hand and knocked loudly on the door. “Who is there?” she demanded.

Inside the room, Martins and Nnenna froze. Their eyes met, filled with shock and panic. The knocking continued.

“Open this door now!” Jessica shouted.

Martins jumped to his feet. “What do we do?” he whispered.

Nnenna’s hands shook. “She knows,” she said in a trembling voice.

Jessica banged on the door again. “Martins! I know you are inside there! Open this door before I break it down!”

Martins ran his hands through his hair. “Just stay calm,” he told Nnenna. He quickly grabbed his shirt and put it on. He needed to think fast. How was he going to get out of this situation?

Jessica stepped back and looked around. She was furious. She could not believe what was happening. Her husband was cheating on her—with their housemaid! And not just any housemaid, but the one she had trusted the most. She shook her head in anger. This was not going to end well.

Inside the room, Martins took a deep breath. “I have to open the door,” he said.

Nnenna grabbed his hand. “No! She will kill me.”

Martins sighed. “We can’t hide forever.”

The knocking became louder. Jessica was losing patience. “Martins! If you don’t open this door right now, I swear, I will scream and wake the whole neighborhood!”

"Waitim please. Don't open the door. I have an idea." Nnena said.

THE SON AND HIS WIFE FORCED AN OLD MAN OUT OF HIS OWN HOME—UNTIL A DOG LED HIM TO A NEW BEGINNING

Wilson sat shivering on a freezing bench in a park outside Manchester, the icy wind biting through his worn coat. Snowflakes drifted down as the night stretched on, an endless black void. He stared blankly ahead, grappling with the cruel irony that he—a man who had built his own home with his bare hands—had been thr0wn out onto the streets, discarded like rubb!sh.

Just hours earlier, he had been standing in the house that had always been his sanctuary. But his son, Anthony, met his gaze with cold indifference, treating him like a stranger.

“Dad, it’s cramped with Susie and me,” Anthony said bluntly. “You’re not getting any younger. A retirement home or a rented room would be better for you. You’ve got your pension…”

Standing silently by his side, Susie, Wilson’s daughter-in-law, nodded, as though this cr:u:el decision were the most natural thing in the world.

“But… this is my home,” Wilson said, his voice trembling—not from the cold, but from the deep sting of betrayal.

“You signed it over to me,” Anthony shrugged, his tone detached. “The documents are done, Dad.”

In that moment, Wilson realized he had nothing left.

Without arguing, he turned and walked away, leaving behind everything he had cherished—memories, security, and the son he had raised with love.

Now he sat alone, wrapped in his tattered coat, unable to understand how his life had come to this. He had trusted his son, given him everything, and yet, in the end, he had become nothing more than a burden. The b!ting cold crept into his b0nes, but the @che in his soul was far deeper.

Then, out of the darkness, he felt a touch.

A warm, furry paw gently rested on his frozen hand.

Before him stood a large, shaggy dog with kind, expressive eyes that seemed almost human. The dog stared at Wilson, nudging his palm softly with its nose as if saying, “You’re not alone.”

“Where did you come from, buddy?” Wilson whispered, tears rising in his throat as he fought to keep them back.

The dog wagged its tail and tugged at the edge of Wilson’s coat with its teeth.

“What are you doing?” Wilson asked, surprised. His voice carried less despair than before.

The dog tugged again, persistently urging Wilson to follow. And with nothing left to lose, the old man sighed and stood.

They walked together through snow-covered streets until they approached a small house. Its door swung open, and a woman wrapped in a warm shawl appeared in the doorway.

“Benny! Where have you been, you rascal?” she exclaimed before freezing, her gaze falling on the shivering old man. “Oh my... Are you all right?”

Wilson tried to say he’d manage, but only a hoarse groan escaped his lips.

“You’re freezing! Come inside, quickly!” The woman grabbed his hand and led him into the warmth of her home.

Wilson awoke the next morning in a cozy room, the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee and cinnamon rolls filling the air. For the first time in what felt like forever, warmth spread through his body, chasing away the cold and fear.

“Good morning,” a gentle voice greeted him.

He turned to see the woman from the night before, standing in the doorway with a tray in her hands.

“My name’s Halsey,” she said, smiling warmly. “And yours?”

“Wilson,” he replied hesitantly.

“Well, Wilson,” she said with a brighter smile, “my Benny doesn’t usually bring strangers home. You’re lucky.”

Wilson managed a faint smile.

“I don’t know how to thank you...”

“Tell me,” Halsey said as she set the tray on the table, “how did you end up out in the cold like that?”

Wilson hesitated, but the genuine concern in Halsey’s eyes urged him to share everything. He recounted the story of his home, his son, and the heartbreaking betrayal that had left him out in the cold.

When he finished, silence filled the room.

“Stay with me,” Halsey said suddenly.

Wilson stared at her in sh0ck.

“What?”

“I live alone—just me and Benny. I could use some company, and you need a home.”

“I… don’t…”
