ARMED HERDSMEN ATTACK IMO STATE COMMUNITIES, KILL SEVERAL RESIDENTS, INJURE PREGNANT WOMAN

The attack has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation, with many calling for urgent action to protect the lives of innocent citizens.
Suspected armed herdsmen have launched an attack on Agwa and neighboring communities in the Oguta Local Government Area of Imo State, resulting in several deaths and numerous injuries.

Among the victims is a pregnant woman, Joy Osita Achugwo, who was shot by the herdsmen and is currently battling for survival in a hospital, SaharaReporters has learnt.

The attack has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation, with many calling for urgent action to protect the lives of innocent citizens.

The Chairman of Oguta LGA, Ifeanyi Nnani, who visited the survivors on Tuesday, reportedly condemned the barbaric attacks in the strongest possible terms.

The gruesome killings of innocent people who were attacked in their own homes and farms is a clear indication of the insecurity in our state," Nnani said.

Nnani commiserated with the victims and their families, assuring them that the leadership of the Local Government Area is committed to ensuring that peace and tranquility returns to Agwa Clan.

"We will do everything possible to ensure that those responsible for these attacks are brought to justice," he said.

SaharaReporters reports that the attack comes less 48hrs after a similar incident in Enugu State, where suspected Fulani herdsmen killed four local farmers in Mgbuji Eha-Amufu autonomous in a brutal attack.


The incident has raised concerns about the growing insecurity in the country and the need for urgent action to protect the lives of citizens.

Meanwhile, the Federal Commissioner representing Imo State in the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Kyrian Uchegbu, has advised the locals to form strong vigilante groups to protect their communities.


We need to work together to ensure that our communities are safe and secure," Uchegbu said.

The attack has left many in shock and outrage, with many calling for urgent action to protect the lives of innocent citizens.

"This is a clear case of terrorism," said one resident, who wished to remain anonymous. "We need the government to take action to protect us from these attacks."

The Imo State Police Command has yet to issue an official statement regarding the recent attack on Agwa community in Oguta Local Government Area.

Efforts to reach the Command's spokesperson, DSP Henry Okoye, for comment were unsuccessful, as he did not respond to calls or a text message

Vanity and Waste Tinubu’s N39bn ICC Renovation and the Shame of Extravagance

At a time when Nigerians are groaning under the weight of inflation, food insecurity, joblessness, and decaying infrastructure, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s decision to spend ₦39 billion renovating the International Conference Centre (ICC), Abuja, and then renaming it after himself is a stunning act of self-indulgence and tone-deaf leadership.

The ICC was originally constructed in 1991 by Gen. Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida at a cost of just ₦240 million. Adjusted for over three decades of inflation, the cost of building a brand new, state-of-the-art conference centre today would be between ₦25 billion and ₦30 billion. That the government spent ₦39 billion merely to renovate the old one without major expansion or technological overhaul exposes just how bloated and questionable the expenditure truly is.

More insultingly, Babangida never named the centre after himself, even though he initiated and completed it. Tinubu, however, after refurbishing it, decided to stamp his name on it converting a national landmark into a personal monument. It reeks of egotism and disrespect for public trust.

The ICC project is only one in a disturbing pattern of vanity-driven and excessive spending under this administration.

The Lagos to Calabar Coastal Highway, an ambitious 700-kilometre project, is has been awarded at staggering costs of ₦15 trillion, with only about 30 kilometres completed so far. It has displaced communities, triggered public outrage, and remains a drain on already overstretched national resources.

Adding to the spree, the presidency recently acquired a new Airbus A330 aircraft for $100 million, despite an already oversized presidential fleet. At a time when the naira is battered and millions cannot afford transport fare, the government is buying luxury jets.

Other wasteful allocations include:
   •   ₦5 billion to renovate Dodan Barracks, the President’s Lagos residence
   •   ₦4 billion for the Vice President’s Ikoyi residence
   •   ₦21 billion to complete the new official residence of the Vice President
   •   ₦5 billion for a presidential yacht, smuggled into the 2023 supplementary budget

To the government’s credit, the minimum wage issue has been resolved, and workers are receiving their new pay. But this gain is overshadowed by a mountain of unpaid pensions, leaving retirees in penury, and the unfulfilled agreement with ASUU, which remains a bull in a china shop threatening to plunge the university system into fresh chaos.

The administration claims to be building a legacy. But legacy is not about plastering one’s name on public buildings or cruising on billion-naira yachts. True legacy lies in reviving industries tackling insecurity and building new legacies anchored on inclusion, accountability, and shared prosperity.

At a time like this, every naira must count. Nigeria cannot afford to spend like a wealthy nation while borrowing to survive.

This is not responsible leadership.
It is reckless indulgence.
And Nigeria deserves better.

Born on These 4 Dates? You're Destined for Wealth

Numerology analyzes an individual’s behavior, characteristics, and career choices based on their birth date. The Life Path Number, derived from adding the digits of your birth date, plays a significant role in this analysis. Life Path Number 1 individuals are often seen as special, achieving notable success in both life and career.

Lucky Birth Dates

People born on the 1st, 10th, 19th, or 28th of any month have a Life Path Number of 1. This number is associated with the Sun’s energy, symbolizing confidence, leadership, and creativity. Those born on these dates are natural leaders.

These individuals are confident, independent thinkers who draw others in with their unique personalities, leaving a lasting impression wherever they go. They embrace challenges and turn them into opportunities for success.

However, their strong personalities can sometimes lead to stubbornness and arrogance. They may believe their way is the only correct way, occasionally overlooking the advice of others.

Despite this, they have pure hearts and are always willing to help those in need. Their creativity often leads them to success in fields like art, writing, and other creative professions.

Friendships and Relationships

Life Path Number 1 individuals are loyal and respectful partners. While they deeply value their loved ones, they also cherish their independence within relationships. They expect mutual respect and understanding from their partners. However, their strong-willed nature, coupled with occasional stubbornness, may lead to conflicts. Maintaining balance and open communication is essential for a successful love life.

Career Choices

With ambitious goals, those with Life Path Number 1 are determined to achieve them. Careers that emphasize leadership, innovation, and independence are ideal. They excel in fields such as business, management, marketing, advertising, art, writing, and technology.

Health

While energetic and active, their dedication to their pursuits can lead to stress and fatigue. Practicing yoga, meditation, and regular exercise can help them maintain mental clarity. Their busy schedules might sometimes cause irregular eating habits, so it’s important for them to maintain a balanced diet and a healthy, active lifestyle.

Never Marry a Woman Who Thinks Duty Is Oppression

Let’s flip the script.

Modern women don’t mind love.

They mind responsibility.

They say they want a husband…

But act allergic to the weight that comes with being a wife.

Let’s break it down:

---

1. She Wants Rights—But Hates Roles

She says she wants marriage.

But only if she can rewrite the terms.

No submission. No service. No sacrifice.

Just: – Her career – Her comfort – Her convenience

She wants you to pay the bills, protect the house, lead the vision…

But call her “wife”?

Suddenly she’s not your partner—she’s a prisoner.

---

2. Duty Is a Trigger Word to the Modern Woman

Say: “A wife should cook.”

She’ll say: “What is this, 1950?”

Say: “A wife should support her husband’s mission.”

She’ll say: “I’m not losing myself for any man.”

Say: “Marriage is about sacrifice.”

She’ll say: “That sounds abusive.”

Everything that once built homes…

Now gets labeled toxic.

---

3. Her Feminism Ends Where Her Comfort Begins

She quotes bell hooks on Instagram.

Reads self-help books about boundaries.

Talks about partnership and purpose…

But ask her to:

– Wake up early for the kids
– Submit to a decision she disagrees with
– Stretch her ego to save the marriage

She’ll say:

“This isn’t what I signed up for.”

Of course it isn’t.

Because modern women don’t sign up for responsibility.

They sign up for lifestyle perks.

---

4. You Can’t Build a Home With a Woman Who Thinks She’s Doing You a Favor

She married you—but acts like she’s volunteering.

She gave vows—but still moves like she’s single.

She calls herself a wife…

But never shows up in the trenches.

And when you demand structure?

You’re “controlling.”

When you ask for peace?

You’re “emotionally abusive.”

Her entire identity is rooted in avoiding anything that feels like work.

---

5. Love Without Duty Is Just Performance

She says she loves you.

But won’t clean, won’t compromise, won’t listen.

She says she’s loyal.

But only when it’s easy.

She thinks being present is enough.

But presence without contribution is just furniture.

You don’t need a woman who shows up.

You need one who shows up with purpose.

---

Final Word: If She Thinks Duty Is Oppression—You’ll Spend Your Life Apologizing for Leadership

She’ll accuse your standards.

Resent your vision.

Sabotage your peace.

And when the marriage fails?

She’ll tell the world you “couldn’t handle a strong woman.”

But truth is:

You tried to build a kingdom…

With someone who didn’t want to hold a brick.

So here’s the rule:

Never marry a woman who thinks duty is slavery.

Because you’ll carry the whole mission alone—

While she posts about burnout from watching movies.

The Labour Party has issued a stern warning to its 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, urging him to desist from what it described as a sustained campaign of media blackmail against the party’s leadership.

The APC is deploying divisive tactics to brand Peter Obi as an ethnic candidate, hoping to diminish his rising popularity ahead of 2027. But we see through their propaganda. We know the truth.

Peter Obi is not an ethnic champion he is a national visionary. A leader who has stood, and continues to stand, for every Nigerian  Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, Fulani, Ijaw, Tiv, and every other group without bias or prejudice. His record speaks louder than their lies. From education to healthcare, from economic reform to youth empowerment, Peter Obi has reached across regions, religions, and tongues with policies grounded in justice, equity, and progress.

They want to divide us. We must not let them.

In a time when Nigeria cries out for unity, competence, and integrity, Peter Obi offers hope not to a tribe, but to a nation. His passion is not for a section of Nigeria, but for all Nigerians.

Let us resist the merchants of division. Let us reject the politics of hate. Let us stand together for the Nigeria we deserve a Nigeria where leadership is earned through vision and service, not propaganda and fear.

Peter Obi is not the candidate of a tribe. He is the candidate of the future for all Nigerians.

“RAISING A CHILD WITHOUT RULES IS RAISING A DISASTER”

(Why freedom without boundaries is destroying today’s kids)

Let’s stop lying to ourselves:
Children don’t need too much freedom — they need firm direction.
You think you're giving them "space to express themselves"?
But what you're really doing is giving them a fast-lane ticket…
To self-destruction.

A child without boundaries will test everything.

They’ll test time.
They’ll test truth.
They’ll test how far they can go — until something breaks.
And when there are no rules, no “NOs,” no clear lines drawn…
They don’t become confident. They become confused.

You’re not helping their self-esteem.
You’re raising someone who won’t respect law, leadership, or life.

Parents, wake up:

It’s not “modern parenting” to allow your 12-year-old do what they like.
It’s not “freedom” to let your 15-year-old lock their door 24/7 and live like a tenant.
It’s not “trust” to hand them a phone, laptop, and data without supervision.

That’s not love. That’s neglect with WiFi.

Look around you:

Kids cursing their parents online.

Teenagers dressing like strippers and calling it “fashion.”

Boys addicted to porn and calling it “freedom of expression.”

Girls posting half-naked pictures with captions like “God’s masterpiece.”

Young boys who can’t say “yes sir” or “no ma” because they were “raised to speak their minds.”

What’s the result?
A generation that wants respect but knows nothing about discipline.

Let’s be clear:

Boundaries don’t destroy children — they build them.

Rules don’t limit children — they shape them.

Discipline is not wickedness — it’s protection.

Correction is not abuse — it’s love in motion.

A child who grows up without consequences becomes an adult who disrespects everything — including God, law, and you.

Many of you are afraid to say “NO” because you want to be liked.

But parenting is not about popularity.
Your job is not to be their best friend.
Your job is to raise a man, to mold a woman, to train a future leader.

And yes, it will involve:

Saying no.

Checking phones.

Cutting off bad friends.

Seizing devices.

Setting curfews.

And making tough decisions that your child will not like — but will thank you for later.

Don’t wait till damage is done:

Don’t wait until the police call you.
Don’t wait until you’re dragged to a hospital.
Don’t wait until you’re kneeling in church, crying, “Where did I go wrong?”

The time to guide is now. The time to lead is now.

Final Word:

Give your child structure, not just softness.
Give them discipline, not just data.
Give them correction, not just comfort.

Because no matter how sweet your child is,
freedom without rules will turn even an angel into a problem.

Happy parenting to us all. Copied!!!!!!!

Nemesis of the genocide perpetuated against the Igbos under the watch of Yakubu Gowon is still haunting Nigeria.
Let nobody look far for why it has been impossible for past leaderships of Nigeria to fix the country.
People must learn the basic natural principles that guide and sustain the earth or they risk swimming against the tide of life to their chagrin.
Mother nature doesn't allow any injustice to go unpunished, without being redressed, because one of the fundamental physical laws of nature upon which the universal purpose of God for the earth is achieved is the law of balance.
Without balance on both sides, nothing can be achieved but a continuously oscillating condition that puts no one to rest in the manner that we are all experiencing it in Nigeria.
Unlike the so-called mercantilist Nigerian 'men of God' will tell Nigerians to pray endlessly, only an admission of guilt and reparations to the Igbos by Nigeria will set Nigeria free. If nobody decides to listen to this, let them do or we can go on endlessly on the present path of perdition until, as Patriarch Moses would say to a stubborn Pharaoh who chose to perish in the sea than grant the Israelites freedom, 'let my people go!'
