    Nigerian actress Regina Daniels showed off a heartwarming moment between herself and billionaire husband Ned Nwoko
    This came days after the movie star was attacked online for her message to Priscillia Ojo and Juma Jux’s wedding
    Following that, a video went viral online showcasing a heartwarming moment between the politician and his wife, which got many talking online
    Nigerian politician Ned Nwoko has made his actress wife, Regina Daniels, the envy of all women by dressing her up.

    When he was done dressing his wife, he asked the people around if their husband treats them the way he did with Regina.
    While at that, the caption of the video argued that every woman dreams of a love like the politician and the actress, but cannot have it.

    “Every woman dreams, but only a few wake up to a love like this. Can your husband ever? @regina.daniels is the most blessed”.

    Watch the video below:

    TheTalk.NG reported that Nigerians stormed Regina Daniels Instagram post about Iyabo Ojo and her daughter Priscilla to take a swipe at her.

    The mother of two had shared her good wishes to her senior colleague and her daughter after the lavish wedding the actress did for her daughter.

    In the post, Daniels prayed that Priscilla’s home will be protected and blessed while also wishing her a lifetime of joy and laughter. However, the post didn’t go down well with her fans, who went to her comment section to lash out at her.

    Many taunted her over her marriage to her politician husband. They asserted that she got married to an old man and does not know what it feels to be married to a young, rich and famous man.
    Some others pointed out that her husband was not satisfying her in the other room. They lashed out at her for being the 6th wife of her husband.

    New video of Regina Daniels and Ned Nwoko gets many talking.

    They asked young girls to learn from Priscilla Ojo and not from the actress when it comes to the issue of marriage. Recall that Regina Daniels recently returned to her social life with her husband after rumour that they had parted ways.

  • Scientists have developed transparent solar panels that can turn windows into electricity-generating surfaces without compromising their transparency. These cutting-edge panels harness invisible wavelengths, such as ultraviolet and infrared light, converting them into power while allowing visible light to pass through seamlessly. This technology opens the door to transforming ordinary windows into renewable energy sources for homes, offices, and skyscrapers. Beyond windows, the panels can even be applied to smartphones and other devices, paving the way for energy efficiency in unexpected places. With advancements like this, the future of clean, sustainable energy is looking clearer—and brighter—than ever.

  • YOU DON’T HAVE A S*X PROBLEM — YOU HAVE A SELF-CONTROL PROBLEM

    It’s not about women… It’s about the war in your own mind

    Let’s settle this once and for all:

    S*x is not your enemy. Women are not your downfall.
    Your real problem is you can’t tell yourself “NO” — and mean it.

    You don’t have a lust problem.
    You don’t have a girlfriend problem.
    You have a discipline problem.

    And here’s how it’s destroying your life quietly — while you think it’s just “normal behavior”…

    1. You chase women, but you don’t chase purpose.
    You know how to text her non-stop…
    But you can’t stay focused on your goals for 3 straight hours.
    You have energy for sweet words…
    But no energy for self-improvement, study, or money-making.

    That’s not a s*x issue.
    That’s weak self-leadership.

    2. You can delay pleasure with money — but not with women.
    You’ll save up to buy a phone.
    You’ll wait 3 months to get a new sneaker.
    But you can’t even say “no” to your body when it starts calling.
    You’re financially wise… but sexually foolish.
    And that imbalance is killing your power.

    3. You know it’s wrong — but you do it anyway.
    You feel guilty after sleeping with her.
    You regret it after you masturbate.
    You swear it won’t happen again…
    But two nights later, you’re back at it.
    That’s not just habit — that’s a lack of control.

    4. You’re ruled by urges, not purpose.
    You wake up with ideas…
    But by noon, you’re back in her DMs.
    You had plans…
    But her body made you forget all of them.
    You can’t dominate the world if you can’t even dominate yourself.

    5. You call it love — but you’re just addicted to lust.
    You don’t love her. You love what she makes you feel.
    You love the ego boost. The fantasy. The temporary escape.
    And because you can’t detach,
    You stay stuck in toxic cycles that waste your time and kill your growth.

    6. You ask God for help — but you never say no to temptation.
    You pray. You cry. You fast.
    But when she texts “come over,”
    You forget all your anointing.
    It’s not about prayers — it’s about principle.
    Until you discipline your body, you’ll keep falling in the same trap.

    7. Your energy is leaking through your cravings.
    Every time you chase s*x instead of your calling,
    You give away your power, your time, your strength.
    And it’s why your dreams feel dry.
    Because you keep watering women, not your goals.

    8. You can't sit in silence without craving pleasure.
    You get bored, you want s*x.
    You get stressed, you want s*x.
    You get lonely, you want s*x.
    You’ve made s*x your medicine — and now you’re hooked.
    You don’t need more s*x. You need more purpose.

    9. You train your brain to give up easily.
    Every climax without discipline tells your mind:
    “Instant reward is better than long-term success.”
    So you stop grinding. You stop building. You start cutting corners.
    All because you trained yourself to quit when things get hard — and chase what feels easy.

    10. You’re not addicted to her — you’re addicted to escaping yourself.
    S*x is your way of avoiding the uncomfortable truth:
    That you’re not where you want to be in life…
    So you hide in a woman’s body instead of fixing your own journey.

    Bro, hear this clearly:

    You don’t need more women.
    You don’t need another round.
    You don’t need late-night texts or temporary highs.

    You need control. You need mastery. You need silence, structure, and standards.

    Because a man who can’t say no to his urges
    Will say yes to every distraction — and miss his destiny.

  • Captain Ibrahim Traoré: The soldier selling Africa false hope, By Umar Farouk Bala

    Traoré’s anti-democratic posture is not a blueprint for development — it is a calculated strategy to entrench military rule under the guise of a populist revolution.

    What Traoré is selling is not a radical reimagining of governance. It is an age-old authoritarian tactic: discredit democracy, invoke national pride, and suppress dissent — all while consolidating power… Since assuming power through a 2022 coup, Traoré has suspended political parties, cracked down on the press, and muzzled civil society organisations. He claims these actions defend national sovereignty and promote a “popular, progressive revolution.”
    Clad in fatigues and fluent in fiery rhetoric, Captain Ibrahim Traoré of Burkina Faso has emerged as a poster child of a new wave of African populism. To his supporters, he is a revolutionary — bold, youthful, and principled.

    To the disillusioned youth across the continent, he offers a seductive promise: progress without the inconveniences of democracy. But behind the revolutionary slogans and Sankara-inspired aesthetics lies a far less romantic reality.
    Traoré’s anti-democratic posture is not a blueprint for development — it is a calculated strategy to entrench military rule under the guise of a populist revolution. Let us be clear, Africa has every right to interrogate the forms and functions of democracy on the continent.
    For decades, many African states have endured dysfunctional governance, hollow elections, and endemic corruption — even under democratically elected leaders. But that frustration must not be manipulated into legitimising authoritarianism.
