Police Declare ABC Transport Founder’s Daughter Wanted for Cybercrime Offenses

The Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre (NPF-NCCC) has declared Ihuoma Julia Nneji, daughter of ABC Transport founder Frank Nneji, wanted for alleged offences including criminal defamation, injurious falsehood, and cyberstalking.

In a bulletin issued by the Office of the Inspector-General of Police, Nneji is accused of involvement in cybercrime-related activities. Authorities directed her immediate arrest and urged anyone with information on her whereabouts to contact the nearest police station or the NPF-NCCC headquarters in Abuja. According to police, her last known address was in Victoria Garden City, Lagos.

This development comes just months after Nneji initiated a defamation lawsuit at the Federal High Court in Abuja against prominent social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, influencer Kemi Olunloyo, and lawyer Henry Ikenna Uzochukwu.

VeryDarkMan had previously accused Nneji of making inappropriate allegations against her ex-husband, misrepresenting herself as an American travel nurse, and undergoing multiple cosmetic procedures, including a Brazilian Butt Lift.

The controversy, initially an online exchange, has now intensified into a serious criminal investigation by Nigerian authorities.

The police appeal to members of the public to assist by providing useful information leading to Nneji’s arrest.

Abike Dabiri Reacts After Hearing The Name That The Supporters Of VeryDarkMan Are Called
After hearing the name that the followers of the social media influencer VeryDarkMan are called, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, NIDCOM, has responded to the situation.

The post that he made on Wednesday, which was shared on his official X handle, contained his response to the situation. Following the fact that VeryDarkMan issued her with an ultimatum to remove some Nigerian women from Ivory Coast, this is the immediate result.

An X user informed Abike Dabiri that the social media influencer's most devoted followers are referred to as "Ratels," and she responded to this information using her own words.

Following is the content that the user of X posted on his official X handle:
Ratels are the mobsters who are staunch individuals who support each and every action taken by VDM. They possess the characteristics of a wolf. Constantly pushing their victim out of the way. Acting on impulse, they are prepared to attack anyone who comes their way.”

Laughter was the response that Abike Dabiri gave in response to the statement that was made by the X user. She stated that she is completely unfamiliar with the name in question.

One of the things creatives/freelancers battle with, including me, is time management.

I won’t lie, I’ve not found a perfect formula that works yet. But every day, I’m doing my best to find something that helps me manage my time better.

The struggle is real.

Struggling to post consistently to keep your brand moving.

Struggling to attend to clients excellently.

Struggling to handle other pressing matters offline.

Struggling to just breathe sometimes.

I see people who seem to be doing it well, and honestly, I envy them. Still, I’m doing my best to find what works for me.

Let me be sincere. There’s a lot of work to be done online. But the real work is offline, I must tell you.

I’ve started implementing a few time management steps lately, and for now, they’re working. I won’t share them yet, not until I’ve learned them well. I’m still in my trial-and-error phase.

Truth is, what works for me may not work for you. So try to find your own formula.

But just so you know, the struggle with effective time management is real. And it’s one battle you must win.

If not, your consistent showing up online will be counterproductive.

So as you post, also remember to pause. Go offline.

Attend to the things that truly matter: your health, your family, your peace of mind.

Social media is tempting, yes, but don’t spend your entire 24 hours here daily, no matter how passionate you are about your work.

You need a break, even if it’s just for a few hours.

Well, I just thought to drop this here.

These days, I’m becoming more vulnerable. I’m not sure I like it, but I’m flowing with the move of my spirit.

Much love.

Have a productive day ahead.

Let's keep doing wonders together.

LESSONS FROM LIFE...

1. Not everyone will clap for you when you succeed. Do it for yourself, not for validation.

2. Holding grudges is like carrying extra weight on a long journey. Let it go and move lighter.

3. A partner who genuinely supports you is a blessing—don't take them for granted.

4. The biggest mistake you can make is lying to yourself. Be honest, even when it's uncomfortable.

5. If you're the one people rely on, don't expect the same from those who depend on others.

6. Focus on your dreams, not on impressing people.

7. Your 20s are for building, your 30s for enjoying the foundation you laid. Make the right investments.

8. Peace is priceless. Let go of anything that steals it.

9. Silence is a weapon. Use it wisely.

11. Some people will root for your failure because they feel stuck in their own lives. Ignore them.

12. Being kind is great, but don’t let people take advantage of you.

13. Losing people isn’t always a loss. Losing yourself while trying to please them is.

22. Skills and knowledge are investments that will never fail you. Keep learning.

23. Love with wisdom, not blindness. Protect your heart.

FISCAL DISCIPLINE, REVENUE DIVERSIFICATION CRITICAL FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVT -GOV UMO ENO

... as Senate President applauds his leadership style

Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has emphasized on the need for states and local governments to embrace fiscal discipline and revenue diversification to achieve sustainable development.

The Governor stated this while delivering a public lecture on the theme: "Leading Economic Development in Sub-Nationals of the Nigerian Federation: The ARISE Agenda," at the University of Uyo.

He noted that the ARISE Agenda was borne out of the desire to grow the economy while developing abundant human resources in the State, focuses on eight lofty goals including; Poverty reduction, Job creation, Price stability,sustainable economic growth, improved standard of living, environmental sustainability, highly educated, healthy and skilled people, and the Security of lives and property

He further explained that the ARISE Agenda, a flagship economic blueprint that guides his administration's development efforts, is an acronym for ‘five-group aspirations’: Agricultural Revolution, Tourism Development and Environmental Management; Rural Development, Women & Youth Empowerment; Infrastructural Maintenance and Advancement; Security Management, Sound Educational and Health Sector Management; and Economic, Industrial and Social Advancement

The Governor who holds a Doctorate degree in Public Administration from the University, said that since the inception of his administration, wastages in government have been minimized, and the government is determined to expand its revenue base by digitalization of government operations.

"Soon, we will launch AKWAGIS, a digital platform where we will be collecting ground rent, which as we speak is in the region of N16 billion. Through this platform, we will be able to seamlessly offer Certificates of Occupancy, which would help attract businesses to our State.

"We are also investing heavily in the tourism sector that has been variously described as the “New Black Gold.” From agricultural tourism, through our Ibom Model Farm, to medical tourism, with our planned Ibom International Medical Centre - a 200-bed hospital that will come with 24 different departments under one roof. This hospital, once completed, will compare to any such facility anywhere in the world.

"The ARISE Resort, which we hope to commission in the first half of this year, the International Conference Centre, the Ibom Tropicana Hotel, which we are poised to complete will signpost our ascendancy as the tourism hub of our nation and bring in billions of Naira in revenue.

" We remain committed to the growth and expansion of Ibom Air and work is ongoing in the Aviation Village, as part of our investments in the aviation eco- system.

"We are committed to the human capital development of our people and this has been acknowledged by the Federal Government and the World Bank, leading to the launch two days ago, of the Human Capital Development Strategic Plan by the Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, GCON.

"We have achieved a success rate of 3.5% out of school children, against the national average of 25.6% - a truly remarkable feat.

"We are positioning our State for growth beyond oil by these strategic investments in tourism and human capital development," he said.

The Governor said to ensure the success of economic development in sub-nationals, policymakers must develop action plans before implementation, strengthen governance and institutional capacity, enhance internally generated revenue (IGR) to reduce reliance on federal allocations, promote regional economic cooperation and trade among states, encourage private sector-led development through investment incentives, and focus on collaboration rather than conflicts.

He appreciated the crafters of the ARISE Agenda, and expressed his determination to go the extra mile to further development in the State, while urging policymakers, corporate bodies, the academia, and citizens to join hands with him in the journey towards a prosperous, self-reliant, and globally competitive sub-national economy.

In his remarks, the President of the Nigerian Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio applauded the Governor for his inclusive leadership disposition which according to him has engendered unprecedented peace and security in the State.

Senator Akpabio who was represented by Dr. Saviour Enyiekere, Chairman of the National Assembly Service Commission (NASC), also commended the Governor for his collaboration with the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led Federal Government, and assured of the support of the All Progressives Congress in the State to ensure the Governor's second term victory in 2027.

Chairman of the Occasion, Emeritus Prof. Akpan Ekpo, the University Vice Chancellor, Prof. Nyaudoh Ndaeyo and the Dean of the Host Faculty, Faculty of Social Sciences, Prof. Christopher Ekong as well as Dean of the Faculty of Communication and Media Studies, Prof. Peter Esuh appreciated the Governor for accepting to share his thoughts through the public lecture, stressing that the ARISE Agenda is a comprehensive document that can drive development in the State and other sub-nationals.

The event which attracted eminent personalities within and outside the State, had as discussants, Prof. Okechukwu Onuchukwu, Vice - Chancellor, Ignatius Aguru University of Education, Rivers State, and Prof. Ebebe Ukpong, a development expert and former Commissioner in the State.

HOW TO BUILD A CEO MINDSET AS AN ONLINE BRAND OWNER

Sweetheart, if you don’t start thinking like a CEO, your online brand will forever remain a hobby.

And hobbies don’t pay bills!

When you see fellow women making mind blowing money online? It’s not magic.

They have something you might be overlooking, a CEO mindset.

That’s the difference between running your brand like a side hustle and running it like a business that funds your dream life.

Let me break it down for you:

1. STOP SEEING YOUR BRAND AS “JUST ONLINE”

A lot of women make the mistake of thinking, “It’s just social media. It’s not that deep.”

Big mistake!

You need to start seeing your online brand as a real business.

If you take it seriously, others will too.

Show up like a boss.

Be intentional about your content.

Stop running it when you feel like, have a strategy.

2. KNOW YOUR NUMBERS, KNOW YOUR MONEY

You’re not just a content creator, you’re a businesswoman.

Do you know how much you made last month?

Do you track your sales? If not, you’re running your brand blindfolded.

Have clear income goals.

Track every naira you make and spend.

Charge your worth!

Stop underpricing yourself out of fear.

3. MOVE FROM EMPLOYEE THINKING TO CEO THINKING

If you’re waiting for someone to tell you what to do, you’re still thinking like an employee.

CEOs take charge!

Invest in learning new skills (marketing, branding, sales).

Make bold decisions without fear.

4. BRAND POSITIONING IS EVERYTHING.

A CEO doesn’t just “post and pray.”

She positions herself to attract the right audience and clients.

Speak with authority in your niche.

Show social proof, testimonials, success stories, results!

Network with other high-value women (your circle matters).

5. CONSISTENCY IS YOUR BEST FRIEND

Sis, if you show up today and disappear for two weeks, how will people take you seriously?

Consistency is what turns followers into buyers.

Plan your content ahead.

Show up even when you don’t feel like it.

Keep refining and improving your content.

6. DEVELOP A GROWTH MINDSET

A CEO doesn’t cry over low engagement or failed launches, she learns and improves.

See challenges as lessons, not roadblocks.

Be adaptable (social media change fast).

Never stop evolving!

If you want a profitable online brand, you need to start thinking and acting like a CEO today.

No more playing small.

As for me, I’m here to play the big game!

“Social media is another terrorist organization”

- Sultan of Sokoto

God abeg you no go like give us back Sound Sultan and take this san san sultan

‘Social Media Is A Terrorist Organisation We Must Deal With,’ Says Sultan Of Sokoto Amid Terrorist Attacks In Nigeria | Sahara Reporters bit.ly/42win4T

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has accused Meta Platforms of illegally acquiring Instagram and WhatsApp to suppress competition, alleging that Meta bought these platforms after failing to compete with them.

The antitrust trial, which began in Washington on Monday, could force Meta to divest Instagram and WhatsApp if the FTC prevails, potentially reshaping the social media landscape.

Meta disputes the claims, arguing its investments fueled the growth of these platforms amid competition from TikTok and YouTube.

Every minute, someone leaves this world.

Age has nothing to do with it.

We're all in this queue without realizing it.

We never know how many people are in front of us.

We can't go to the back of the line.

We can't get out of line.

We can't stop moving forward.

So, while we wait in line...

Let's make peace!

Let's do good!

Let's tell the truth!

Let's be honest!

This world will leave us one day, that's for sure.

There's no point holding a grudge against someone who could leave at any moment.

There's no point sending a brother to prison when you yourself could leave first.

What's the point of boasting about putting others down when you could be gone in the next few minutes?

Why do you let yourself be deceived by your money, your social position, and your connections, when you're not the first to have them?

While you seek your brother's death for a piece of land in the village, others exploit your continent and even invade planets.

Evil is ignorance.

Pride is for the foolish.

Selfishness is for the poor.

Betrayal is for the weak.

So let's do good while we're still alive!

Let's use the little time we have left to reveal the secret of life.

This secret seems both simple and absurd.

It's what keeps the world on tenterhooks.

May God bless you richly and abundantly.
