JP2025: Why my husband’s pics on your chest – Priscilla tackles Papaya Ex over outfit.

Priscilla Ojo, a Nigerian influencer and the daughter of popular Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, has questioned Papaya Ex over her outfit at her wedding.

DAILY POST reports that Priscilla got married to her Tanzanian lover, Juma Jux, in a traditional ceremony on Thursday March 17 2025, in Lagos State.

Papaya Ex, a popular fashion model and content creator, was captured in a trending video on social media with the groom’s photo placed on her breast while the bride’s picture was placed at her waist region.

The controversial dress caught Priscilla’s attention when Papaya Ex came out to spray her money.

Reacting to the outfit, Priscilla asked “Why did you put my husband’s picture on your chest”.

Papaya Ex replied “I’m sorry baby, na because I love you”.

Papaya further explained that she did that to gain attention online.

Nigerian celebrities at the ceremony include singers Nice, Peter Okoye, Korede Bello, Ebenezer Obey, Segun Johnson, and Diamond Platnumz.

Also present were, Toyin Abraham, Wunmi Toriola, Mercy Aigbe, Eniola Badmus, Eniola Ajao, Nkechi Blessing, Ruth Kadiri, Mercy Eke, Femi Adebayo, Odunlade Adekola, Yinka Quadri, Cute Abiola, Muyiwa Ademola, Hilda Baci among others.

Manchester United Get Double Suspension Boost After Dramatic Europa League Win vs Lyon

Manchester United have received a significant boost ahead of their Europa League semi-final clash with Athletic Bilbao, as key midfield duo Manuel Ugarte and Casemiro both avoided suspension in Thursday night’s dramatic victory over Lyon, according to Manchester Evening News.

United edged past the French side in a thrilling 5-4 win at Old Trafford, securing a 7-6 aggregate triumph to reach the last four of the competition. Goals from Ugarte, Diogo Dalot, Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire ensured Ruben Amorim's men kept their European dream alive — and with it, a vital chance to secure Champions League football next season.

However, the victory wasn’t just about the scoreline. Heading into the quarter-final second leg, both Ugarte and Casemiro were walking a disciplinary tightrope. Having each picked up two yellow cards earlier in the tournament, a further booking would have triggered a one-match suspension — ruling them out of the semi-final first leg.

But both players held their nerve and steered clear of the referee’s notebook during a heated and high-stakes encounter, giving United a major boost ahead of their semi-final showdown. The relief is even more palpable given UEFA rules: all accumulated yellow cards are wiped clean after the quarter-finals, meaning Ugarte and Casemiro now begin the semi-final phase with a clean slate.

This reset dramatically lowers the risk of missing the final due to a yellow card suspension, allowing Amorim more tactical flexibility as United prepare to face a high-energy Athletic Bilbao side.

United’s European run now offers a lifeline in what has otherwise been a turbulent campaign. With Premier League inconsistencies leaving their top-four hopes in doubt, winning the Europa League presents not just silverware, but a golden ticket back into the Champions League.

More than $1.5 trillion vanished from the US stock market today as major indexes plunged—S&P 500 fell 2.24% and Nasdaq 100 dropped 3.07%. Ongoing tariff tensions triggered investor panic, while even Bitcoin fell below $84,500, adding to the financial turbulence.

If You Marry for Love—You Lose. Marriage Is Not Romance. It’s a Strategic Investment.

Let’s stop deceiving ourselves.

Love is not enough.

Romance won’t sustain you.

And marriage built on feelings will collapse under pressure.

Because marriage isn’t an emotional experiment.

It’s a power move.

1. Feelings Fade—Structure Stays

You’re happy today. Great.

But what happens when money gets tight?

What happens when you lose your job?

What happens when she wakes up and says, “I’m not in love anymore”?

If your marriage was built on butterflies, expect it to collapse once the wind changes.

Love is a spark. But marriage needs fuel.

Vision. Structure. Alignment. Sacrifice. Strategy.

2. If You’re 70 and You Marry 30—Your Household Is 50

Let’s talk logic.

You’re wise. She’s fresh.

But instead of raising your stock, she drops the average.

You’re thinking legacy—she’s thinking TikTok.

You’re building wealth—she’s building “influencer reels.”

(She’s not even ready to build it into a media business.)

You’ve seen war—she’s crying because you forgot to comment on her new selfie.

And now you’re stuck in a marriage that drags you backward.

Because you married vibes—not vision.

3. Marriage Is a Merger—Not a Movie

When two become one, it’s not about hugs and kisses.

It’s about merging empires. Consolidating influence.

Combining assets. Multiplying momentum.

Even the Bible said:

“One will chase a thousand, two will chase ten thousand.”

But what if the “two” is a liability?

What if she’s chasing dopamine instead of purpose?

What if she’s more obsessed with matching pajamas than matching values?

Now, you’re running with dead weight.

Fighting alone. Providing alone. Planning alone.

And she’s somewhere saying,
“I don’t like forcing things.”

4. Modern Girls Don’t Grind—They Ghost

Let’s be real.

Many modern women want:

• Love with no labor
• Comfort with no contribution
• Leadership with no loyalty

She wants a soft life—but won’t lift a finger.

She’s jobless, but has high taste.

She’s broke, but her demands come in six figures.

She says you’re stressing her mental health—because you asked about her career goals.

Try to build with her, and she’ll say,
“This isn’t flowing naturally. I need space.”

5.Her Submission Is a “Maybe”

Her obligations are “Optional”

Today’s woman wants:

• To reply when she feels like
• To submit if the vibe is right
• To bear children only when convenient
• To pause the relationship if she’s “not in the mood”

Any hint of hardship, she’s gone.

Any serious talk, she’s “emotionally unavailable.”

Any call for accountability, she’s “being controlled.”

And if you dare lead with firmness?

She’ll tell Twitter you’re a narcissist.

6. Dysfunction Is the New Normal

Many modern girls were raised in chaos.

Divorced parents. Absent fathers.

Traumatized mothers.

And instead of healing, they brought that chaos into dating.

So when you show up with purpose and structure?

She calls it “too much.”

She wants a soft man who’s strong.

A rich man who’s humble.

A loyal man who doesn’t ask questions.

She wants everything—but gives almost nothing.

So Here’s the Brutal Truth:

Marriage is a system.

If you don’t build it with strategy, it will collapse in drama.

Stop marrying for butterflies.

Start marrying for alignment.

For values. For vision.

Pick a partner who multiplies your purpose—not one who multiplies your pain.

Because at the end of the day…

It’s not who makes your heart skip.

It’s who helps you finish the race.

Marry wisely.

Remember—when it finally comes to a divorce, obligations are enforceable by law, but no one can compel her to keep loving you and riding your joystick that’s insisting she’s the best rider it has ever seen.

Speak with wisdom in the comments, I will like to have your opinions.

MBOMUZO IN OKWUOHIA AUTONOMOUS COMMUNITY,
OBOWO L.G.A., IMO STATE, NIGERIA.
Okwuohia is a Community in Obowo
L.G.A., of Imo state, Nigeria, that has enviable rich historical background and deep cultural heritage. Okwuohia is the only community in Obowo and the old ETITI District that has four markets covering the four market days in Igbo calendar, namely: Eke, Orie, Afor and Nkwo. All these have distinct locations and hold accordingly.
The community prides herself with many cultural festivals which include Mbomuzo, Ntumaka, Nrim-ji (Iri ji) among others. But the one that attracts people in their numbers to the community is, "MBOMUZO", a-k-a "NKUISI-MKPURU-UKWA".
MBOMUZO simply means, "clearing of the roads ", otherwise known as environmental cleansing, especially with regard to roads leading to traditional centres and matket places. It is intended to make the roads passable again in order to give proper access to the markets and homes of citizens.
In Okwuohia, all roads are cleared very thoroughly starting from individual homes to the Eke-Okwuohia, Orie-Okwuohia, Afor-Okwuohia and Nkwo-Okwuohia market squares. Also, roads leading to major and significant rivers are cleared. For instance, the Onu-iyi-lolo-nwanyi (Onu-ngele) stream at Umuduru Mgbakam is usually kept cleared for the "AHIA-NGANGA" ceremony by the women of Okwuohia during the same period. It has to be noted that all the road clearing and cleansing must be completed on or before the NKWO market day preceding the EKE market day of the ceremony.
NKUISI-MKPURU-UKWA: As said earlier in this write-up, MBOMUZO Okwuohia is also referred to as NKUISI-MKPURU-UKWA. Why?
Ours, is an agrarian community. In those good old days, our people cultivated yams, coco-yams, maize, cassava and mkpokoro in large scales. Farming was done more at locations far away from homes. Due to this, farmers constructed make-shift structures there in the bush/farms, where they rested and had their meals during the toils of the day. Most times, people returned to their homes very late in the evening. Major foods eaten in the farms those days were bread-fruits (Ukwa), palm kernels, yams and coco-yams. The bread-fruits were eaten whole without removing the the shells or the outer covers. Farming took place between the months of January and May, during which period farmers fed on any available food items. When such farmers returned to their homes from their farms in the month of May, they settled down to enjoy more pleasant and well prepared food. They would no longer eat the bread-fruits with their shells. Also, they cleaned their environments that had been left bushy during the period of intensive farming activities in the farms. From their homes, clearing and cleansing progress to the roads that lead to other homes and traditional centres. At this time, people begin to exchange visits with relatives and friends both far and near to show that they have returned home after the farming period in the bush. Such visits are usually reciprocated. During such visits, entertainments are unlimited based on the dispositions of the parties involved. In Okwuohia, after the entertainment at home, people gather at the designated market square to demonstrate it the more. The venue is usually at the ORIE OKWUOHIA, where the EKWIRIKWE music music is played and danced in an organized manner.
EKWIRIKWE MUSIC AND ORDER OF DANCING:
After the presentation and blessing of kola-nuts by the traditional ruler of Okwuohia, who declares the ceremony open after his speech and brief demonstration of the dance, the ceremony begins. Ofeiyi people, who are the custodians of the EKWIRIKWE do a brief demonstration dance. Thereafter, the traditional order of seniority of the three sections of Okwuohia is strictly observed thus: MGBAKAM, OFEIYI and AMARAMOHIA. Finally, a general dance which is usually longer and more thrilling comes up and marks the end of the ceremony.
The EKWIRIKWE music delivers messages which present Okwuohia as place with people of remarkable mutual respect, prowess and noted for wrestling. EKWIRIKWE music is used to caution Okwuohia people not to eat the bread-fruits with the shells again after the Mbomuzo. Hence, "ONYE ATALA UKWA NA MKPEKELE" and "NKUISI-MKPURU-UKWA". This is demonstrated by hitting one's back-side to symbolically discharge the ones eaten previously. Before the EKWIRIKWE dance arena is approached, people sing various songs and dance along the road according to Age Grades, socicultural groups and sections.
MBOMUZO AND THE PRONOUNCEMENT OF DATE.
Only the Eze of Okwuohia, in consultation with you Traditional Council has the powers to announce the date for MBOMUZO every year. Above all, it is a known fact that Okwuohia community is the first among all the communities in Obowo and even the old ETITI District to perform Mbomuzo every year, thus determining the cultural calendar for other communities that perform the same and or related festivals.
Mbomuzo holds in Okwuohia on the second EKE-Okwuohia market day in the month of June every year. Visitors, friends, in-laws and well -wishers of the community visit the community to enjoy the characteristic hospitality and conviviality associated with the ceremony. Entertainment items are unlimited especially according to the preparedness of the individual families and persons during the period. Such entertainment items include and not limited to polished bread-fruit meals, maize pudding, cassava foo-foo, oil-bean pudding and different kinds of drinks.
PROBLEMS:
The festival has suffered from various problems which include but not limited to wrong perceptions, misrepresentation, misconception, ignorance, ineptitude, iconoclasm and apathy. Many, especially the less informed and the neo-religious groups strongly hold to the perception that that the festival is fetish and wasteful (especially those who are not willing to spend their resources to host guests).
ADVANTAGES:
The period leads to keeping the surroundings clean, re-union of families, friends, in-laws and well -wishers, tourist attraction and advancing our cultural heritage including ensuring the acquisition and development of the EKWIRIKWE playing and dancing skills.
In the good old days, women who earnestly took part in the road and market clearing and cleansing and later took part in the AHIA-NGANGA activities after bathing on serious intents at the Onu-Lolo-nwanyi (Onu-Ngele) stream, would appear at Mbomuzo the following year either pregnant or as nursing mothers if they either prayed for or desired such thereby.
MODIFICATIONS SO FAR:
Since culture is dynamic, efforts have been made by the leadership of Okwuohia community, over time, to modify certain aspects of the festival and programmes there-of in order to exponge some questionable and undesirable aspects of it. For instance, the timing and declaration of the date of the festival are now done by the Traditional ruler of Okwuohia in synergy with the Traditional Council. Also, no shrine or deity is either worshipped or honoured before, during and even after the festival. Most times, the traditional rulership open the festival with Christian thanks-giving worship at an agreed Christian church here in Okwuohia.
CONCLUSION:
In line with the realities of the present moments, efforts should be made to allow for acceptable modifications while there should be insistence on protecting and upholding the soul, spirit and purports of the cultural heritage of our dear Okwuohia community especially as regards affects MBOMUZO.

Chief Emma C. Anyanwu, (DIKEMBA),

THE DANGEROUS & COSTLY MISTAKES THAT THE MAJORITY OF GEN Zs' ARE MAKING
TODAY

Let’s be honest — Gen Z is bold, intelligent, creative, and filled with untapped potential. But greatness requires wisdom, discipline, and intentional living. If these mistakes go unchecked, they can sabotage futures before they even begin.

Let’s dive in.

1. LIVING FOR THE INTERNET, NOT FOR IMPACT;

Mistake: Chasing trends instead of transformation.

Wisdom:
In a digital age, it’s tempting to measure worth by likes, followers, and viral moments. But the internet has a short memory. What it remembers are those who made a difference, not those who made noise. Purpose outlives popularity. Build a life that leaves footprints, not just impressions.

Key Thought:
Legacy matters more than likes.

2. MOCKING THE PROCESS, BUT DESIRING THE RESULT;

Mistake: Entitlement without effort.

Wisdom:
You can’t harvest where you haven’t sown. Many want a millionaire lifestyle without embracing a laborer’s discipline. Mocking the hustle while coveting the reward is a self-inflicted curse. Every result you admire was born in hidden, hard places. Embrace the grind — it’s the gate to greatness.

Key Thought:
Desire must be matched by discipline.

3. REPLACING HARD WORK WITH AESTHETICS;

Mistake: Valuing appearance over substance.

Wisdom:
Looking wealthy is not being wealthy. Flaunting lifestyles you haven’t earned is deception to self and others. Clothes, cars, and curated feeds can’t cover empty bank accounts and shallow legacies. Invest your time in developing skills, building assets, and adding value. Substance sustains — aesthetics fade.

Key Thought:
Image fades, value endures.

4. PRIORITIZING FUN OVER FOUNDATION;

Mistake: Sacrificing tomorrow for temporary thrills.

Wisdom:
Youth is a gift, but what you do with it is your offering to the future. Fun has its place, but when pleasure takes priority over preparation, destruction is near. Lay a solid foundation now — in character, skills, relationships, and spiritual depth. Fun without foresight is fatal.

Key Thought:
Your future is the harvest of today’s habits.

5. THINKING YOU STILL HAVE TIME;

Mistake: Delaying destiny.

Wisdom:
Time waits for no one. While you hesitate, someone else your age is already leading, building, and shaping history. Starting early is an advantage, not a burden. Greatness isn’t scheduled for the future — it begins the moment you decide to grow. Don’t wait for the ‘perfect time.’ It doesn’t exist.

Key Thought:
The earlier you start, the stronger you finish.

6. TALKING MORE THAN DOING;

Mistake: Replacing execution with inspiration.

Wisdom:
Inspiration is everywhere, but action is rare. The gap between your dreams and your reality is called discipline. Stop being a motivational addict and start being a transformational leader. Speak less, do more. Let your results be louder than your quotes.

Key Thought:
Execution outperforms excitement.

7. RUNNING FROM CORRECTION;

Mistake: Canceling accountability.

Wisdom:
Correction is not rejection; it’s protection. Those who tell you uncomfortable truths are your true allies. Surrounding yourself with only those who applaud you is the fastest road to destruction. Value mentors, accept rebuke, and welcome growth conversations. Pride resists correction — wisdom craves it.

Key Thought:
Correction today saves catastrophe tomorrow.

8. CONFUSING ATTENTION FOR AFFECTION;

Mistake: Seeking applause over authentic connection.

Wisdom:
The culture rewards clout-chasing, but attention is shallow currency. Don’t dress, speak, or live for applause while starving for meaning. Real affection is built on character, trust, and value — not viral trends. Pursue depth over display. Attention fades fast; authentic relationships last.

Key Thought:
Be known for who you are, not just what you show.

9. BELIEVING YOU’RE TOO YOUNG TO FALL;

Mistake: Assuming immunity because of early success.

Wisdom:
Success without humility is a ticking time bomb. No one is untouchable. Pride blinds, and it always precedes a fall. Stay teachable, stay grounded. Let your head bow as your platform rises. Arrogance disqualifies faster than ignorance.

Key Thought:
Success unmanaged is a silent threat.

10. SLEEPING ON YOUR GIFTS;

Mistake: Letting fear bury potential.

Wisdom:
Talent unused is purpose wasted. The world doesn’t need another copy, it needs the original you. Stop hiding behind fear, perfectionism, or excuses. Wake up your gifts. Refuse to be buried with your greatness still locked inside you.

Key Thought:
Unused potential is a tragedy.

FINAL CHARGE TO GEN Z;

You are the future, but only if you survive the present. Refuse to let laziness, entitlement, pride, or fear sabotage your destiny. The world is watching — but more importantly, your generation is counting on you.

Rise with wisdom. Build with intention. Lead with humility.

Your future isn’t promised, it’s prepared. Start now.

Breaking: Vice President Shettima knocks NAHCON Chairman, Tells Him To Stop Behaving Like A Sole Admistrator.
Vice President Kashim Shettima has issued a stern directive to the Chairman and Chief Executive of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), Prof. Abdullahi Saleh-Usman, cautioning him against operating the commission as though it were a one-man show. In an official communication addressed to the NAHCON boss, the vice president expressed concerns about alleged violations of procurement protocols, improper appointments, and the marginalization of board members. Dated March 17, 2025, the letter—bearing reference number SH/OVP/DCOS/NAHCON and titled ‘Re-Deliberate Exclusion from the Exercise of Oversight Functions’—was signed by Senator Ibrahim Hassan Hadejia, the Deputy Chief of Staff to the President in the Office of the Vice President.
Shettima criticized the chairman’s practice of forming committees to make key decisions, arguing that such actions bypass the collective authority granted to the board under the commission’s legal framework. “The act does not envisage a sole administrator role and each member has a responsibility to the zone or entity he or she represents especially with regards all decisions relating to pilgrims welfare,” Mr Shettima warned. He further referenced concerns raised at a February 4, 2025 meeting where the chairman was said to have acknowledged certain lapses but failed to address them afterward. “Their letter states that they raised these issues at a meeting on February 4th 2025 where the chairman acknowledged and apologised for the lapses but apparently did nothing to address them going forward,” the VP said. “Accordingly, His Excellency the Vice President has asked that your attention be drawn to the provisions of the NAHCON act especially the supplementary provisions governing the proceedings of the commission where all reference to the powers and regulatory responsibility of the commission refers to it as a whole,” the letter said. Shettima urged Prof. Usman to ensure that board members are actively involved in decision-making, warning against rendering them redundant. “To ensure that the members of the commission are given their due as envisaged by the NAHCON act so that they are not rendered redundant and to ensure that all major decisions of the commission are in compliance with the law,” the VP emphasized. This intervention follows a petition submitted by eight non-permanent commissioners of NAHCON. Dated March 13, 2025, and titled “Deliberate exclusion from the oversight functions,” the petition accused the chairman of sidelining them from their statutory duties.
