She was drowning.
And nobody noticed…
Nobody, except her.

It was June 2022, at the World Championships in Budapest.
Anita Álvarez, an American artistic swimmer with Mexican roots, was performing a flawless routine.
But when her performance ended… she didn’t come up for air.

She had lost consciousness.
Her body floated for a few seconds, then began to sink.
Slowly. All the way to the bottom of the pool.

The audience didn’t notice. Neither did the judges.
Everyone was clapping.

But her coach, Andrea Fuentes, noticed.
She knew Anita—knew exactly how long it took her to surface.
She felt in her heart that something was wrong.

Without thinking twice, she dove in.
Fully dressed. Shoes and all.

She swam straight down, grabbed Anita by the waist,
and brought her back up.
She saved her life.

This story left me thinking…

Who knows you well enough to notice when you’re not okay, even if you’re still smiling?
Who would dive in for you without hesitation when you no longer have the strength to come up for air?

And more importantly…

Would you be that person for someone else?
Are you present enough in your loved ones’ lives to sense the moment they start to sink?
Or are you just another spectator, clapping, not realizing that inside, they’re fading?

In this life, we all need someone who doesn’t just see us—
but truly notices us.
Someone who knows when we’re about to give up,
and has the courage to jump in and save us.

Sixteen-year-old Ren Junjie was supposed to graduate with his classmates.
But instead of standing beside them in uniform, he lay in a hospital bed, clinging to life with an oxygen mask.
So what did his friends do?

They brought the graduation to him.
Over 60 students and teachers walked to the hospital — carrying benches, letters, flowers, and hope.
They dressed up. They posed beside his bed.

And for one brief, beautiful moment, he smiled.

The next morning… Ren passed away.

But he didn’t die forgotten.
He died surrounded by love, by loyalty, by classmates who refused to leave him behind.

Because true friendship doesn’t stop at the classroom door.
It walks through hospitals. It stays through suffering.
And it says — you still matter. Even now.

Say No to *unfriendly friends.* You guys here are true friends,may God bless all of us.

YOUR MOM MAKES ME HAPPY*

*Episode 4: A Family Affair*

Omar decided it was time for Sarah to meet his family. He was excited to introduce her to the people he loved, and he hoped they would love her just as much.

As they arrived at his parents' house, Omar's mom, Fatima, greeted them with a warm smile. "It's so nice to finally meet you, Sarah!" she exclaimed, hugging her tightly.

Sarah was charmed by Fatima's warmth and hospitality. She felt at ease as they sat down for dinner, surrounded by Omar's family. Ahmed, Omar's dad, asked Sarah questions about her interests and hobbies, and she impressed him with her intelligence and kindness.

As the evening progressed, Omar watched Sarah laugh and joke with his family, feeling grateful that they seemed to get along so well. He knew that his family was important to him, and it meant a lot that they liked Sarah.

After dinner, Fatima pulled Omar aside and whispered, "She's lovely, beta (son). You two seem perfect for each other."

Omar smiled, feeling happy that his mom approved. "Thanks, Mom. I'm really falling for her."

Fatima smiled back. "I can see that. Just remember, relationships take work, but if you both are committed, you can build a beautiful life together."

Omar nodded, taking his mom's words to heart. He knew that he wanted to spend the rest of his life making Sarah happy, and he hoped she felt the same way...

*Episode 3: A Deeper Connection*

As the days turned into weeks, Omar and Sarah's relationship blossomed. They spent countless hours exploring the city, trying new restaurants, and laughing together. Omar felt like he was getting to know Sarah on a deeper level, and he was amazed by their connection.

One evening, as they sat on the couch, watching a movie, Omar turned to Sarah and asked, "What makes you happy?"

Sarah thought for a moment before responding, "I find happiness in the little things – a beautiful sunset, a good book, or a warm cup of coffee on a chilly morning. But most of all, I find happiness in the people I love and who love me back."

Omar's heart swelled with emotion. He felt like he had found someone who understood the importance of love and connection. He leaned in and kissed her, feeling a spark of electricity run through his body.

As they pulled back, Sarah smiled and said, "I love the way you make me feel. You have a way of calming my nerves and making me feel like everything will be okay."

Omar's heart skipped a beat. He knew that he felt the same way about her. He took her hand and said, "I love the way you make me feel too. You bring light and joy into my life."

As they sat there, wrapped in each other's arms, Omar knew that he was falling deeply in love with Sarah. He couldn't wait to see what the future held for them...

[07/06, 10:45] +234 806 940 3103: Using the police in civil matters is generally not permissible in Nigeria. According to Section 32(2) of the Police Act, "The Act prohibits the Police from arresting anyone based on a civil wrong or breach of contract." This means the police are not supposed to get involved in disputes that don't involve criminal activity. Police powers are limited to detecting and preventing crimes, apprehending suspects, preserving law and order, protecting lives and properties, and enforcing laws.
Civil disputes, including contract breaches or debt collection, don't fall under their jurisdiction.

*Key Points to Note:*

- *Police Role*: The police are not debt collectors or enforcers of civil contracts. Their primary duty is to handle criminal matters, not civil disputes.
- *Human Rights Protection*: Nigerian law protects individuals from arbitrary arrest and detention, aligning with the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights and the African Charter on Human Rights.
- *Consequences of Misuse*: Wrongful arrest and detention can lead to damages and lawsuits for malicious prosecution.
- *Legal Framework*: The Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) and the Police Act outline the guidelines for police actions, emphasizing the need for warrants, bail, and humane treatment of suspects

The Inspector General of Police (IGP) has also emphasized that the police have no business with civil matters, reinforcing this principle

Igbo Traders in Ifo, Ogun State shutdown their businesses over the stabbing to death of an Igbo Woman.

A woman identified as Blessing Eze(Mrs), mother of two have been stabbed to death in Ogun State. The incident occured when some touts began taxing traders over the Eid Mubarak festival of Muslim faithfuls that took place on June 6, 2025, each trader was asked to pay ₦1,500. On getting to Late Mrs Eze, she told them she doesn’t have money as at the time they came, they should come back, as touts they are, they started destroying her goods, which she dragged one of them and asking him to arrange her goods properly and come back, not that she won't pay but she doesn't have it as at that time because she has not sold anything. That's how one of them stabbed her on the chest which later led to her death.

So today, Igbo Market Union at Ifo market in solidarity and mourning shutdown their businesses in protest. Saying before this woman's death, they have been experiencing assault and intimidation from those group of touts. They have declared 4 days mourning which Igbo trader will not display goods rather it will be for protest until relevant authorities intervene on the matter especially the State Government.

This is highly despicable and the law must take a just course on the perpetrators of these heinous crime.
