Gen Musa Waarns: Stop Using Social Media to Promote IPOB—It’s Threatening Nigeria The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa, has issued a strong warning to residents of the South East against supporting or promoting the activities of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), especially through social media platforms. Speaking during a community engagement visit in Omor, Anambra East LGA, Anambra State, General Musa—represented by Group Captain Ibrahim Bukar, Deputy Director of Defence Media Operations—highlighted the dangers of spreading unverified and misleading information online. He noted that such actions not only endanger the region but also threaten Nigeria’s unity and national peace. As part of a people-focused outreach within the Operation Udoka Area of Responsibility, the Defence Chief met with the Obi Eze Ana-Uku, Eze Igulube of Omor, emphasizing the military’s commitment to restoring lasting peace and security in the South East. General Musa made it clear that IPOB’s activities are harmful to both the region and the country at large, and should be firmly rejected. He condemned the growing trend of spreading false narratives pushed by outlawed groups, urging citizens to be vigilant and responsible. “People need to have trust in their military,” he said. “The military belongs to the people. We rely on you to give us credible information—when you see something, say something. Together, we can overcome insecurity and bring peace back to our communities.” He assured the people that the military remains neutral in all conflicts and is solely focused on protecting law-abiding citizens. “Our mission is not to take sides,” he added. “We are only after criminal elements. Our job is to ensure peace and safeguard the lives and properties of innocent Nigerians.” General Musa also reaffirmed the Armed Forces’ dedication to fulfilling their constitutional duty to protect the nation, adding that peace and security are vital foundations for national development and economic growth. In his response, the traditional ruler of Omor, Eze Igulube, praised the military’s consistent efforts in maintaining peace in the area. He expressed gratitude for the improved security situation, saying the presence of the Armed Forces has brought relief to the community. “Our people are farmers, peace-loving and hospitable,” the monarch said. “We deeply appreciate the courage and dedication of your personnel. We are ready to provide accurate intelligence to help your operations and keep our land safe.” He pledged the full support of the community in the ongoing efforts to restore peace and security across the South East.

A WORD OF ADVICE TO ALL BENUE INDIGENES. Now that our state leaders and traditional rulers have come together to find lasting solutions to the insecurity troubling our dear Benue State, I want to humbly appeal to everyone let us all play our part with honesty and responsibility. Before reporting any attack or security incident in any part of the state, please be sure of your facts. Let us put politics aside and prioritize the lives and safety of our people. Posting false or unverified information only worsens the situation and causes panic or confusion. Don't just copy and share posts from others without confirming whether the information is true or not. Take time to verify what is happening before you post or comment. Be certain that what you’re saying is the truth because lives are at stake. Let’s stop posting unverified information that gives room for people who don’t know the facts to criticize the good work of the Executive Governor of Benue State, our stakeholders, and our traditional rulers. Let’s work together for peace, truth, and progress in Benue State. BY: CDT, Awua Igbana Paul. Voice of kwande/ Ushongo youths.

More Nigerians Will Become Poor By 2027 - World Bank. The World Bank has projected that poverty in Nigeria will increase by 3.6 percentage points over the next five years, rising through 2027. This is according to the Bank’s Africa’s Pulse report, released during the ongoing Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank in Washington, DC. The report paints a troubling outlook for poverty reduction in Nigeria, highlighting that despite some recent gains in economic activity—particularly in the non-oil sector during the last quarter of 2024—structural issues related to resource dependence and national fragility are likely to hinder progress. According to the World Bank, Nigeria, alongside other resource-rich and fragile countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, will experience a worsening poverty situation—unlike non-resource-rich countries, which are expected to see faster poverty reduction. “Poverty in resource-rich, fragile countries—including large economies like Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo—is projected to increase by 3.6 percentage points between 2022 and 2027,” the report stated. The report underscores that Sub-Saharan Africa continues to have the highest extreme poverty rate globally, with a disproportionate concentration of the poor: In 2024, 80% of the world’s 695 million extreme poor lived in Sub-Saharan Africa. Within the region, half of the 560 million extreme poor were located in just four countries. In comparison, South Asia accounted for 8%, East Asia and the Pacific 2%, the Middle East and North Africa 5%, and Latin America and the Caribbean 3%. Resource-rich countries are expected to lag in poverty reduction due to slowing oil prices and weak fiscal structures. Conversely, non-resource-rich countries are benefiting from high agricultural commodity prices, which are fueling stronger growth despite fiscal pressures. The report adds: “This follows a well-established pattern whereby resource wealth combined with fragility or conflict is associated with the highest poverty rates—averaging 46% in 2024, which is 13 percentage points higher than in non-fragile, resource-rich countries.” In light of these projections, the World Bank recommends that Nigeria and similar economies focus on improving fiscal management and building a stronger fiscal contract with citizens to promote inclusive economic development and long-term poverty alleviation.

HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW S3DUC3D HIM UNTIL HE GOT HER PREGNANT. 1 Veronica was not your typical mother-in-law. I mean, not every mother-in-law is the same; some come with prayers, wrappers, and love, while others come with lipstick, secrets, and destr--uction. Veronica was the second kind. She was the kind of woman who never accepted she was old, always saying things like, "I'm still h--ot," or "I'm still in town." She dressed like a teenager: short, see-through skirts, crop tops, long eyelashes, and heavy makeup that made people stare. She walked like the streets still belonged to her, spoke with bold confidence, and never accepted that age had touched her. She didn't visit her daughters like a normal mother; she showed up like she was coming for a nightclub audition. To Veronica, her daughter's husband wasn't family; he was an opportunity, another fine man she could lay in b--ed with. And she did it – not once, not twice, but multiple times. She wasn't just a problem; she was a st--orm. Meanwhile, across town, Nancy, her daughter, lived a very different life. Nancy was the kind of woman every man would be proud to have. Her skin was smooth like ripe mango, and her smile could calm a crying baby. She was kind, quiet, and very hardworking. Everyone who met her said the same thing: "This girl is wife material." Nancy had a man, his name was Aika. He was tall like a coconut tree, with skin that shone like polished wood. His voice was soft, his steps gentle, and his heart was full of love. He had big houses, fine cars, big businesses, and plenty of money in the bank. But above all, he had only one thing in mind: to marry Nancy and start a peaceful life with her. Nancy had everything a young woman could wish for: a good job, a gentle man, and a heart full of joy. But inside her chest, under her happiness, there was a small fear, a quiet fear that stayed like a lizard behind cardboard. That fear was her mother, Veronica. Veronica was her mother by b--lood, yes, but she was not like other mothers. She was different, and Nancy knew deep down in her heart that if anything was ever going to spoil her joy, it would come from that woman. But she never said it out loud; she just smiled and kept planning her wedding. Veronica was not a mother like Mama Anki or Mama Zab; she was different, very different. She had Nancy when she was just a small girl herself, a teenager. Her parents chased her out of the house when they saw her belly growing like a yam. She cried, she begged, but they shut the door and told her, "Go and face what you started." From that day, Veronica began to suffer under the hot sun. She carried oranges on her head, she sold sachet water in traffic, she begged strangers for coins. Her feet were always dusty, and her stomach always empty. But Veronica had something: beauty. She was fine, too fine. Her skin glowed, her bo--dy curved like a question mark, and men started to notice. One man came one night; he offered her food and a soft bed, but he wanted her bo--dy in return. She agreed. That night, her life changed. That was how Veronica entered the world of easy money: one man today, another man tomorrow. She began to wear short clothes, paint her li--ps red like tomatoes, and walk with her che--st high like a peacock. She went from sleeping on cartons to sleeping in hotels, from begging for food to buying fried rice at night. To be continued after 20 shares...

BREAKING: President Tinubu meets Suspended Governor Fubara in London over Rivers political crisis According to The Africa Report, the meeting took place in London last week, shortly after Tinubu left Paris. The meeting, it was learnt, was at the insistence of Governor Fubara, who has been desperate to return to office since the president declared a state of emergency in oil-rich Rivers State. During the meeting, Fubara promised to make some compromises. Negotiations are ongoing, but from all indications, his suspension will be lifted before the six-month deadline,” said an adviser to the president who wished to remain anonymous because he was not authorised to speak to the press. Another presidential aide said Fubara is also open to joining the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to ingratiate himself with the president and then obtain cover. “If Fubara joins the APC, it means the president’s chances of winning Rivers State are much higher,” he says. The Africa Report was informed that Fubara’s estranged godfather, Nyesom Wike, was not part of the meeting and was uncomfortable with such meetings taking place behind his back. However, Tinubu is expected to broker a meeting between Fubara, Wike, and the Rivers State lawmakers to find a lasting solution to the crisis in the state.

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! 😂😂😂

Four killed as suspected cultists attack Bayelsa community ..😭😭 Four persons have been confirmed dead and several others injured as suspected cultists invaded the Swali community in the heart of Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, on Easter Sunday. PUNCH Online gathered that the masked assailants arrived in the community at about midnight in a Toyota Hilux van armed with assault weapons such as AK47 and started shooting indiscriminately at residents celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. A resident, who did not want to be named, described the attack as terrible and said that since he took up residence in the riverine suburb, he had not witnessed such violence unleashed on innocent citizens. “It was terrible, I have never seen anything like this since I started living here over 10 years ago,” he told Punch Metro on Tuesday. According to him, the attack was not connected to armed robbers as the gunmen did not steal any property, but just aimed at their targets and took off. Although calm was restored following the attack, there remained an uneasy calm as fear still hovered over the community, which had witnessed other cult-related violence in the past. Swali Community, which hosts the Swali Ultra Modern Market, the largest market in the state, is close to several security formations in the state. It was also gathered that two cult groups, the Greenlanders and Bobos, have been fighting for supremacy in the community, but it was not certain if the attack was related to their ongoing feud. The member representing Yenagoa Constituency 1 in the Bayelsa State House of Assembly, Ayibanegiyefa Egba, has condemned the brutal attack that resulted in the tragic loss of four lives of her constituents. Egba visited the community on Tuesday and described the attack as barbaric and expressed condolences to the families of the deceased and the entire Swali community. She emphasised the need for unity and vigilance within the community to resist external forces and advised the youths to shun vices that could truncate their lives. Egba said, “This attack is brutal and I condole with the families of those who have lost loved ones. I called on all the residents to be united and vigilant in the face of this incident. “I equally call on the youths to shun external influences and also shun vices that can truncate their lives.” The Paramount Ruler of Swali Community, HRH Wilcox Seiyefa Job, called on the state government to mount police posts at strategic locations in order to avert future attacks. Chief Job pleaded with the government to help ensure the safety and security of his subjects from future attacks, explaining that the community had requested the mounting of a police post to beef up security. His words, “I called on the state government to set up police posts at strategic points to avert future attacks and also establish a police station in the community in order to safeguard the lives of my subjects.” When contacted, the Bayelsa State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Musa Mohammed, who confirmed the attack, said security has been beefed up to restore normalcy in the community. He said the attack may not be related to a cult clash, but law enforcement measures were in place to ensure no further breakdown of law and order or destruction of lives and property happens in that community again. “Normalcy has returned to the community and security measures have been put in place to ensure no further breakdown of law and order or destruction of lives and property,” Mohammed stated.

💍 His Wife Wet the Bed on Their Wedding Night—And Then This Happened - Episode 4 👵 His Mother Moved In—and Tried to Take Over the Marriage… After weathering therapy, emotional breakdowns, and late-night phone drama, Obiora and Christy were finally in sync again. The house was filled with peace. Laughter. Warmth. Even the neighbors had started calling them “that sweet couple.” But in Nigeria, peace is often short-lived when family gets involved. It all started with a phone call. “Mama’s not feeling too strong,” Obiora told Christy one evening. “Doctor says she should be around people. I think she should come stay with us for a few weeks.” Christy smiled and nodded. “Of course. She’s welcome anytime.” She meant it too. She loved Mama Ngozi—or at least, the version she knew from wedding ceremonies and video calls. What she didn’t realize was… Mama Ngozi was a full-force hurricane in a gele. The moment she entered the house, the atmosphere shifted. “Ehn, so this is how you people live?” she said, scanning the living room like a general inspecting troops. “This chair is not facing the TV properly. And this flower? Haba. Artificial? In my son’s house?” Christy laughed it off. She thought it was cute. For the first two days. But then Mama started waking her up at 5 a.m. to pray. Then came the cooking. “You young girls don’t know how to cook soup again. Christy, give me that pot. You’re stirring it like you’re mixing paint.” Christy bit her tongue. She tried. Really tried. Until the ultimate line dropped during one Sunday lunch. Mama Ngozi turned to Obiora and said in Igbo—loud enough for Christy to hear: “If you had married that Ada girl from the village, you would be eating fresh pounded yam every day, not this microwave love.” Christy’s fork paused mid-air. Her chest tightened. Obiora caught the moment. He saw the pain in Christy’s eyes. And for the first time since Mama arrived, he spoke up. “Mama, please. Respect my wife.” The room fell silent. “She may not pound yam or wake up before the cock crows, but this woman held me down when I was broken. You’re my mother, and I love you—but this is our home. Not your battleground.” Mama gasped like she’d been shot. “So you’re choosing a woman over me, Obiora?” “I’m choosing peace. I’m choosing my marriage.” Mama stood. Packed her things. And went to stay with Obiora’s older sister “for just a few days.” She didn’t speak to him for a week. Christy, shaken but grateful, turned to her husband that night. “Thank you,” she whispered. Obiora pulled her close and smiled. “You don’t leave someone you pray for, remember?” They laughed through tears. 💬 When parents clash with your spouse—who do you stand with?
