Bravery comes with a Price

Tragic Hero: Ehigie D1es a Brave Man, Rescuing Host@g3s From K1dn@pp3rs in Edo Forest

By; Chris Osa Uhunmwangho

On a quiet Easter afternoon, in the heart of Edo State’s dense forest, a story of courage and sacrifice unfolded—one that will be etched in the memory of Udo-Eguare and beyond.

Ehigie, a skilled wood saw operator and hunter, set out on what should have been a routine trip through familiar terrain. But fate had something far greater in store. Deep within the forest, he stumbled upon a horrifying scene: a group of armed K1dn@pp3rs had taken several innocent people host@g3.

With no time to weigh his odds, Ehigie acted on instinct. He fired a warning shot into the air, startling the kidnappers and throwing their ranks into confusion. In that fleeting moment of chaos, he seized the opportunity to free eight captives and guided them through a hidden escape route only a seasoned hunter would know.

But bravery often comes at a steep price.

The kidnappers, enraged and regrouped, pursued him. When their gunfir3 failed to bring him down, they attacked with brute force—using heavy woods to overwhelm him. Despite his fierce resistance, Ehigie was tragically killed.

In a cruel aftermath, the att@ck3rs blocked the Ugbenin/Udo Road, attempting to snatch more victims. Two bystanders were injured by gunfire but are currently receiving treatment in Ubiaja. Miraculously, those Ehigie saved have since been reunited with their families—alive because of his incredible valor.

Ehigie leaves behind a young wife and three children. Though his life was cut short, his legacy is one of selfless heroism. He gave everything to protect others—an act that demands not only recognition but support from the community and government alike.

Let Ehigie’s name be remembered—not just as a man who died, but as one who chose to fight for others when it mattered most.

MATURITY IS A MINDSET, NOT AGE. HERE ARE 14 SIGNS YOU ARE MATURE :

You are not scared to be alone.

You realize money is not evil. Lack of money is.

You know that you are your worst enemy and you are your best supporter too.

You realize that life's much better when no one knows anything about you.

You don't care what other people think about you anymore.

You stop chasing meaningless relationships and focus on improving yourself.

You focus more on the opportunity of learning than the risk of failure.

You don't stress about things that are out of your control.

You understand that 9-5 won't help you achieve financial freedom.

You understand that you get paid based on the value you are providing.

In the real world, grades aren't the only measure of value. Connections, background, and practical skills often surpass academic performance. While grades may open doors.

You understand that life's much better when you focus on improving yourself rather than partying every weekend.

You realize that in the end only your family and a few true friends will be there for you.

You also realize that in the end, even your family and friends will leave you, only the God remains with you. #moneyupacademy #MoneyUpAcademy

Who you marry shapes your future more than when you marry. The right partner brings peace, purpose, and support, making every season of life meaningful.

Rushing into marriage for the sake of timing can lead to regrets, but choosing wisely, regardless of age, builds a foundation for lasting joy. It’s not about the clock; it’s about the character.

Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, has addressed the controversy surrounding his open support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu‘s second term bid, insisting that his stance is a matter of conviction and not a betrayal of his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Speaking to a crowd of supporters at a rally in Ikot Ekpene Local Government Area, Governor Eno said his decision to back the President is deliberate and born out of sincerity, not political opportunism.

“Me, I don’t know how to speak from two sides of the mouth,” he said.

Governor Eno revealed that while some political actors secretly pledge allegiance to Tinubu behind closed doors but act differently in public, he chooses to be upfront about his position.

“The other day, I said I was going to support Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, people said ‘why do I say so?’ In the night, they go there and go and tell the baba ‘we will support you’, in the afternoon, they do another thing,” he stated.

The elderly are prone to fractures because their bone density is getting smaller and smaller, so the risk of fractures will definitely increase.

Therefore, the most important measure for the elderly to prevent fractures is to do everything possible to prevent accidental injuries.
How to reduce accidental injuries?

There are the Seven Characters of the so-called secret that I summed up, which is:
“Be careful, be Careful, be Careful again"
Specific measures include:

1.Never stand on a Chair or Stool to get something, even a low Stool.

2.Try not to go out on rainy days.

3.Take Special Care when bathing or using the toilet, to prevent Slipping.

4.The most important, especially for women - don't wear underwear in bathroom, taking support of wall or other things.The commonest cause of slipping and fracture of hip joint. After bath, come back to your Changing room. Sit comfortably on either a Chair or on your bed and then put on underwear.

5.While going to the toilet, ensure that bathroom floor is dry and not slippery.. Use only commode.. and at the same time, fix a hand rest to hold on to while getting up from the commode seat. same is true while taking a bath sitting on bath Stool.

6.Be sure to clean up the clutter on the floor of the house before going to bed and take double care when floor is wet.

7.When getting up in the middle of the night, sit on the bed for 3-4 minutes before standing up; be sure to turn on the light first and then get up.

8.At least in the night or even during day time [if feasible], please, please do not close toilet door from inside. If possible, have an alarm bell fitted in the toilet, and press it to summon help from family members etc in case of any emergency..

9.Seniors must sit on a Chair or a bed to wear pants etc.

10.In the event of a fall, you must stretch out your hands to get support from the ground. It is better to fracture the forearm and wrist than to fracture the femoral neck at the hip joint.

11.I strongly advocate exercise, at least walk, to the extent possible for you

12.Especially for women. be very, very serious to keep your weight in permissible limits. Diet Control is the most important key. Eating leftovers, common behaviour of women... just get away from it. feed leftovers to those who need it, keeping your weight in Control is absolutely in your head and your mind, always better to stop eating with stomach half full, rather than eat till you have a satiety for having full stomach.

Regarding increasing bone mass, I also advocate Dietary Supplements [Dairy products, Soy products and food, especially Bananas which are high in Calcium]

The other is to do outdoor activities properly, because Sun exposure [under UV light] converts the Cholesterol in the Skin into vitamin D.

It is beneficial to promote intestinal absorption of Calcium and Osteoblast activity has the effect of delaying Osteoporosis.

Pay Special attention to the non-Slip floor of the bathroom.
When going up the Stairs, use the handrails and don't fall. Everyone, take Care.
Therefore, the elderly must pay attention to anti-Skid and anti-Fall measures.
One fall will cost ten years of life. Because all the Bones and Muscles are destroyed. So, be Careful.

Avoid Standing for too long.

When Donald Trump abandoned Ukraine, European leaders rallied behind Zelenskyy in support of Ukraine. Trump is threatening to invade Burkina Faso, African leaders are silent. What's wrong with African leaders? @_AfricanUnion @CyrilRamaphosa

I don’t like Nigerian’s because of this usele$$ attitude of always comparing people and event. Why are we now comparing Davido and Priscillia’s Wedding? Are they of the same level? The kind of people the both of them row with are totally different. Davido is a self-made artist and musician who is known globally for his great work in the Afrobeat industry while Priscillia is the daughter of a Nollywood actress who have made name for herself in the industry. Do you see now; they are not of the same status.

I h@te it when I see Nigerians comparing this kind of events. Please let’s do better by just supporting them and not all this unreasonable comparison.

Still I Rise.....- A Note to Me

*********
I am allowed to feel deeply, but I will not let pain define me.

I am worthy of love and support that comes without conditions.

My presence is powerful. My spirit is resilient. My journey is sacred.

Even when I'm misunderstood, I will not dim my light to fit in.

What I give to others, I also deserve—kindness, care, and grace.

I am not alone, even when the room feels empty. My strength is with me.

I choose to rise above the noise and reclaim my peace.

My tears are not weakness. They are healing. They are release.

I walk through fire and still carry the scent of hope.

No matter how many times I fall, I will always rise—stronger, wiser, braver.

*A Personal Appeal for Support*

My name is Victoria Oaikhena, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart and hopeful spirit. For over 11 years, I’ve been fighting a rare and aggressive condition known as Giant Cell Tumor, which has affected my nasal cavity and eyesight.

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
