I Have Never In My Life Called Bola Tinubu A Drug Lord - Daniel Bwala

2026-04-06T21:37:48Z

Bwala: I have never in my life addressed Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a drug lord, infact I have never believed in it.

Anchor: So, if we being out a video today, you will say we doctored it?

Bwala: No, no, no, if you have it here we can shut the interview and you produce it. There is a second one again, you will see it on social media where they say Bwala said if you give Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu 30 years, nothing will happen. Again, it is the laziness associated with the media in Nigeria. It was misquoted and I have the video now.... It was on the 25th of December 2023 where I was critiquing the policy of the Government

Anchor: This is an interview on Arise

Bwala; No, it was on Channels...where I was critiquing the policy where I said when a policy is fundamentally flawed, 30 years will not correct it but you know Obidients, they are experts in social media, they now said Bwala said even if you give Tinubu 30 years....and that thing has moved and has been quoted and misquoted by individuals.

One of the dangers now, is that mainstream media now depends on social media for information. I know some mainstream media houses, not all of them, who take unverified information from social media and report it and then people run to town with it.

Man Records Police Extortion In Ajah For Carrying Used Battery Without Receipt (Pics)

2026-04-06T21:00:40Z

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0JR4WkGCxY
A young man was detained by Nigerian police officers in Ajah, Lagos, simply because he was transporting a used battery without a receipt.
He offered to follow them to the station to make a proper statement, but the officers refused and made it clear they only wanted "settlement" (bribe money). They seized his car papers and held him there.

In his own words:

“I told them to take me to the station so I can make a statement, but they refused. They are still with my car papers.”

“I was transporting a used battery. If they want any investigation, they can take my details from my driver’s license. I already know what they wanted, but I told them I’ll never give them shishi!”

This is the everyday reality many Nigerian drivers face on the road. No crime. Just pure extortion in uniform.

Will the Nigeria Police Force address this? 👀

Meet First Female Bank MD From Anambra State (Photo)

2026-04-06T20:58:03Z

Amaka Onwughalu: Meet First Female Bank MD From Anambra State.

Mrs Amaka Onwughalu is a respected banker with over three decades of professional experience in treasury management, corporate strategy, and executive leadership.

Industry observers note that her career has been defined not by loud visibility, but by consistency, strategic depth, and measurable results across multiple institutions.

Currently serving as Chairman of Fidelity Bank Plc where she made histories as the first female Chairman of the Bank and the second Anambra woman to become Chairman of a commercial bank in Nigeria, Onwughalu plays a pivotal role in shaping the bank’s corporate governance structure and strategic direction, having previously served as a Non-Executive Director. Her influence extends across critical board committees overseeing finance, credit policy, and governance, where her expertise continues to guide high-level decision-making in one of Nigeria’s leading financial institutions.

Beyond the bank, she serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Blueshield Financial Services Limited, where she drives business growth and strategic expansion. Her leadership style, often described as firm yet inclusive, has enabled her to build resilient teams and deliver sustainable outcomes in a competitive financial environment.

Her extensive career profile includes top executive roles at legacy institutions such as Skye Bank Plc, where she served as Deputy Managing Director, overseeing corporate banking, structured finance, treasury operations, and international funding. In that capacity, she was instrumental in managing complex financial portfolios and strengthening relationships with both local and international stakeholders.

Onwughalu also served as Group Managing Director of Mainstreet Bank Limited between 2014 and 2015, where she successfully led the bank’s integration into Skye Bank, a transition generally acknowledged by many as one of the most complex in Nigeria’s banking sector. The position also stands her out historically, as the first Anambra woman to become a substantive Bank Managing Director in Nigeria.

This came after she made another history earlier in her career at Reliance Bank Limited, where she served as first female Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer in acting capacity in 2005, becoming one of the earliest female chief executives in Nigeria’s banking industry and notably the first Anambra woman to rise to such position in the country.

Her professional journey also dates back to African Express Bank, where she developed her foundational expertise in treasury and operations, later gaining international exposure at D & C International Limited in London. Over the years, she has consistently demonstrated a strong grasp of both local and global financial systems, positioning her as a respected figure in cross-border financial strategy and institutional development.

Academically, Onwughalu holds a degree in Economics from the University of Buckingham, an MBA from the University of Port Harcourt, and a Master’s degree in Corporate Governance from Leeds Metropolitan University. She has also attended executive programmes at globally renowned institutions including Harvard, Stanford, Cambridge, INSEAD, and IMD, further strengthening her leadership and governance capabilities.

Professionally, she is a fellow and member of several prestigious bodies, including the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria, the Institute of Directors, the Institute of Internal Auditors of Nigeria, and the Institute of Credit Administration. Her contributions to corporate governance, risk management, and institutional leadership have earned her multiple awards and recognitions within and beyond the financial sector.

Beyond her corporate achievements, Onwughalu is widely respected for her commitment to mentoring young professionals and promoting ethical leadership. Her approach to institution-building and human capital development has continued to influence a new generation of leaders within Nigeria’s financial ecosystem.

Mrs Onwughalu is the daughter of foremost Igbo Industrialist , Late Sir Joe Nwankwu(Onwa Abagana, People's Club Lord) of Olympic Packers Fame and late Lady Regina Nwankwu. She is happily married with Children.

The 6 Stages Of Marriage And How Couples Cope With The Changing Dynamics

2026-04-06T20:19:49Z

Marriage has six stages, But most couples give up at stage three.

Stage 1: The Honeymoon Stage...
In the honeymoon stage, everything feels easy. You both try harder. You forgive faster.
You overlook flaws because you're still learning each other. Love feels automatic because life hasn't tested you yet.

This is where everyone wants to stay. Everything is new. Every touch is electric. Every conversation feels like a discovery. The hormones are flooding your system. You feel like you've finally found what you've been looking for. This stage is beautiful. But it is not real. It is nature's way of bonding you before reality sets in.

Stage 2: The Reality Stage
This is where the newness wears off. The hormones settle. You start to notice the things you overlooked. He leaves his socks everywhere.

She needs more reassurance than you expected. The conversations become less about dreams and more about logistics. This stage is where many couples panic. They think something has gone wrong. Nothing has gone wrong. You are just meeting the real person behind the chemistry. This is where the real work begins.

Stage 3: The Disappointment Stage
This is the stage where most couples give up.
You realize your partner is not who you thought they were. Or rather, they are not who you projected onto them. The disappointment is real. The fantasy has died.

You may feel betrayed, even though no one betrayed you. You may think you married the wrong person. You didn't. You just met the real them. The question is not whether they are perfect. The question is whether you can love them as they are.

Stage 4: The Adjustment Stage
If you survive stage three, you enter adjustment. This is where you stop trying to change each other and start learning to work with each other. You negotiate. You compromise. You learn what battles to fight and what to let go.

This stage is not romantic. It is practical. But it is where real partnership is built. You stop asking "why aren't you different?" and start asking "how can we make this work?"

Stage 5: The Companionship Stage
This is where the marriage becomes solid. You know each other now. The surprises are mostly gone, replaced by deep knowing. You finish each other's sentences.

You know what the other needs before they ask. This stage feels less exciting than the beginning, but it is richer. The passion is quieter, but deeper. You have become teammates who have survived battles together. That bond is stronger than any honeymoon.

Stage 6: The Deep Love Stage
Few couples reach this stage. This is where love becomes unconditional. Not because you don't see each other's flaws, but because you have chosen to love through them.

This is the stage where you can be silent together and feel closer than when you talked. Where you can fight and know the fight won't break you...

Where you have seen each other at your worst and still choose to stay. This stage is not given. It is earned. Over years. Over tears. Over forgiveness. And it is worth every hard stage that came before it. That's a wrap & thanks for your read.

P.S. If you don't understand women, they will ruin you.If you can't read them, you can't lead them. And if you cannot lead, you are simply a passenger in her chaos-waiting for the moment she decides you're no longer useful.

Ignorance of female nature is death sentence for men. My Ebook "Seduction Simplified" rips the mask off the comforting lies society fed you. It gives you the "Unfair Advantage" that 99% of men will never possess.

You can either learn the laws of female nature now, or you can pay for them later in alimony, heartbreak, and wasted years.Don't wait until it's too late.

According to the team that visited Blord they said:
Blord is in high spirits and fully aware of everything happening.
He did not send anyone to plead on his behalf, especially not to VeryDarkMan.
He wants the case to go all the way no begging, no settlements. Full legal process only.

Meanwhile, Omoyele Sowore has also called for B-Lord’s release, emphasizing that oppression of any person will not stand in his lifetime. As seen on his social media: "FREE BLORD NOW!

"No Kidnapper Was Rescued Or Returned To Us" - Kaduna Community Faults Army

2026-04-06T18:58:12Z

Members of the community where kidnappers abducted worshippers during Easter Service have denied the claim that 31 victims were rescued.

Daily Trust had reported how bandits invaded a branch of The Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) in Arikon community, Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State, killing five persons and abducting worshippers.

The incident had generated reactions amid the widespread insecurity in the country.

The Nigerian Army had issued a statement, narrating how its troops purportedly compelled terrorists to abandon “dozens of abducted worshippers”.

In a statement, the Army said troops who responded to distress call engaged the attackers in a fierce gun battle.

“The pressure mounted by the advancing troops forced the terrorists to abandon 31 hostages,” the Army said, adding that one of the rescued victims sustained injuries and is currently receiving medical attention.

But in a counter statement, on Monday, Kuturmi Unity Development Association, described Army’s claim as false.

In the statement signed by Dr J D Ariko, President of the association, and Hon. Manasseh Samuel, Publicity Secretary, the association said kidnappers have contacted families and representatives of the victims who are in captivity.

“Our attention has been drawn to reports alleging that the Nigerian Army has successfully rescued 31 persons who were abducted by bandits during the Easter service in Ariko, Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State.”

“We wish to categorically state that this claim is entirely false, misleading, and does not reflect the current situation. Contrary to the reports being circulated, all the abducted persons are still in captivity with their abductors. The families and representatives of the victims remain in contact with the bandits, who have confirmed the safe arrival of the victims at their camp. This clearly invalidates any claim of a successful rescue operation.

“While we recognize and appreciate the efforts of security agencies in tackling insecurity across the country. it is deeply troubling that such inaccurate information is being disseminated to the public. False reports of this nature create unnecessary confusion, give families false hope, and undermine public trust in official communications.

“We therefore call on the Nigerian Army and all relevant authorities to ensure that only verified and factual information is released to the public, especially on sensitive matters involving human lives.

“The safe return of the abducted persons remains our utmost priority, and we urge all stakeholders to intensify genuine and coordinated efforts toward securing their immediate and unconditional release.”

Sources from the community had identified those killed during the as Tanko Haruna, Waziri Agunu, Aminu Soba, Joseph Audu and Adamu Jatau.

Those who were abducted were listed as Garba Tanko, alongside with his wife Lami Garba, and one of their daughters, Rachel Garba as well as a grand child, Moses Yakubu.

Others are Rahab Usman, and his daughter, Victoria Rahab. Sunday Ayuba, Dantani Alhaji alongside his wife, Mrs Mary Dantani, including their three daughters all identified as Helen, Rejoice and Ahmadu, were among those kidnapped.

ADC: INEC Effectively Blocking Us From Fielding Candidates In 2027 - Abdullahi

2026-04-06T18:57:04Z

INEC X ADC

ADC Raises Alarm Over INEC Landmines
- Plot to Prevent Party From Fielding Candidates

We are compelled to raise serious concerns about a developing situation that appears designed to prevent the African Democratic Congress (ADC) from fielding candidates in the upcoming elections. It is based on documentary evidence which we are now placing before the Nigerian public, including certified INEC records, attendance logs, monitoring reports, and excerpts from the Commission’s own sworn affidavit. Taken together, these documents establish a clear and consistent record of events.

View the records here: /NafiuGombeCase

INEC received formal notice of the July 29, 2025 National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the ADC. It deployed officials to monitor that meeting. It documented the proceedings and received formal reports from its field officers. Following this, INEC updated its internal records and uploaded the names of the new leadership, including Senator David Mark as National Chairman and Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola as National Secretary.
These are not claims. They are facts contained in INEC’s own records.

In addition, the Commission’s sworn affidavit before the Federal High Court, in its response to Nafiu Bala Gombe on 12 September 2025, particularly in Clauses 14 to 19, affirms key legal principles: that the leadership transition had already been completed and recognized, that such internal party matters fall outside the scope of judicial interference, that completed acts cannot be reversed by injunction, and also recognizes the David Mark-led NWC.

Yet, despite this clear documentary trail, INEC has now taken the position that it will no longer receive any correspondence from the ADC pending the determination of a matter before the Federal High Court. This is where the contradiction becomes dangerous.

The Electoral Act imposes strict timelines on political parties, including the 21-day notice requirement and submission deadlines. INEC itself has fixed May 10 as the deadline for the submission of relevant documents. However, by refusing to receive communication from the ADC within this same period, the Commission is effectively preventing the Party from complying with the law.

In simple terms, INEC is effectively threatening that unless the courts deliver judgment on the ADC leadership issue by May 10, it will prevent the ADC from producing candidates.

This places the ADC in an impossible position and creates a clear pathway to artificial non-compliance, which can then be used to justify excluding the Party from fielding candidates. That is the landmine.

INEC has claimed that its April 1 decision was taken to avoid rendering the proceedings before the Federal High Court nugatory. The reality is the opposite. By intervening in a matter already before the court and issuing a pronouncement with clear legal and operational consequences, the Commission has itself undermined the very process it claims to protect.

What is even more concerning is that this position contradicts INEC’s own prior conduct and legal stance. The same Commission that monitored, documented, recognized, and swore to an affidavit confirming the ADC leadership is now acting in a way that contradicts its earlier position.

We therefore call on the Commission to immediately reverse this position, resume the acceptance of all lawful correspondence from the ADC, and uphold its constitutional responsibility to ensure a level playing field for all political parties.

We also call on Nigerians to be wary and remain vigilant about these dangerous machinations to subvert Nigeria’s democracy and impose a civilian dictatorship on the country.

Does A Very Sexually Experienced Person Have Higher Chance Of Cheating?

2026-04-06T18:15:45Z

Does a very sexually experienced person have a higher chance of cheating in marriage than a sexually restrained/inexperienced person?

Short answer:

Yes — but not automatically, and not for the simplistic reason many people think.
Because the real issue is not merely:
“How many people has this person slept with?”

The deeper issue is:
“What kind of habits, beliefs, appetites, and emotional wiring has that sexual history built into the person?”

That’s the real question.

And this is where the conversation becomes very interesting.

---

Let’s break it down properly, the theory basically says:
“If someone has been highly sexually active with many people before marriage, won’t that make it harder for them to suddenly become sexually exclusive after marriage?”
That is a very reasonable thought because human beings are not robots.

You don’t spend years training one pattern of living and then expect marriage ring to suddenly perform miracle surgery on your instincts.

That’s not how people work.

If someone has spent years in a lifestyle of:
novelty, multiple partners, casual access, secret meetings, emotional detachment, thrill-based intimacy, low restraint, high sensual stimulation
…then yes: that person may carry those grooves into marriage.

That’s not “judgment.” That’s just how conditioning works.

Why past sexual behaviour can increase cheating risk

There are several reasons.

1) Habit formation: This is the biggest one. When someone repeatedly lives a certain way, it becomes normal to them. So if a person has lived by: “follow chemistry”, “if I feel like it, I do it” “I can separate body from commitment”, “private pleasure is not a big deal”…then marriage does not automatically erase those mental grooves.
This is why I believe:
Marriage does not create character. It reveals and tests it.
A wedding can give: structure, legitimacy, companionship, accountability. But it does not magically produce: discipline, integrity, restraint, self-governance. Those things must already be growing in the person.

2) Sexual novelty can become part of their appetite: This one is huge and people don’t talk about it honestly enough. Some people are not just attracted to sex itself, they become attached to: newness, variety, the chase, the forbidden, being desired by different people etc. That is a different beast entirely because now the issue is not:
“I need sex.”
It becomes:
“I need stimulation, novelty, validation, conquest, or excitement.”

And marriage, by design, is stable but novelty addiction feeds on: unpredictability, secrecy, new bodies, fresh emotional chemistry, ego validation. So yes:
someone heavily trained on novelty may struggle more with exclusivity.
That’s very real.

3) The person may have weakened their “internal brakes”: This one is psychological and spiritual. Every time someone crosses a line and keeps crossing it, one of two things happens. Either:
they feel conviction and turn back
Or
they normalize it. And once something becomes normalized, it stops feeling “serious.”
So if someone has repeatedly done: sneaky relationships, cheating, casual intimacy,
emotionally overlapping relationships,
…then over time their conscience can become less alarmed by those behaviours.
So yes, repeated sensual looseness can reduce moral sensitivity. That is a real thing.
And that matters more than people admit.

4) They may confuse desire with destiny
: Some people are trained by life to believe:
“If I feel strongly, it must be meaningful.”
That’s dangerous. Because in marriage, you will still meet very attractive people, emotionally interesting people, people who “get you,” people who spark chemistry.
If your whole pre-marital life trained you to treat chemistry as a green light, then yes, you may be more vulnerable to cheating.
Why?
Because marriage requires the ability to say:
“This feeling is real… but it is not a command.”

That is maturity. And not everyone has built it.
But now let me balance it, because this is where many people become too simplistic.
MEANWHILE...

Sexual history does NOT automatically mean the person will cheat
And this is very important because some people hear:
“Body count matters”
…and then jump to:
“Ah! Once she has a past, she can never be faithful.”
That’s nonsense.
Too simplistic.
Too online, and of course
Too Nairaland 😄

Because some very sexually active people genuinely change deeply.

And some sexually inexperienced or “innocent-looking” people still become terrible cheaters.

So the real issue is not merely:
“How much have they done?”
but
“Who have they become?”
That’s the deeper thing. A low sexual past does not automatically mean faithfulness. This is the part many men miss badly.
A person can be “novice” and still cheat later if they are: emotionally hungry, validation-starved, immature, entitled, resentful, easily influenced, thrill-seeking, conflict-avoidant, lacking self-control. So a low sexual history can lower certain risks… but it does not guarantee fidelity.
Why?
Because cheating is often not just about sex.
It is often about: ego, loneliness, fantasy, revenge, attention, resentment, boredom, emotional hunger, poor boundaries.
That’s why some people with “clean” histories still derail.
So What predicts cheating better than “body count” alone?
If you want to estimate whether someone is more likely to cheat, these are more useful questions than just:
“How many people have they slept with?”

1) How do they talk about boundaries? Do they think: “Nothing is wrong with harmless flirting”, “I can handle myself”, “It’s not cheating unless sex happens”, “My partner is insecure." That’s a red flag because cheating often starts long before physical action. It starts in permission structures.
2) How do they handle desire? Can they say:
“Yes, I’m attracted, but no.”
Or do they live by:
“If I feel it strongly enough, I should explore it.”
That difference is massive.
3) Do they have a history of secrecy? This one matters a lot. If someone is comfortable with hidden chats, backup lovers, coded communication, emotional double lives,
…that is a much stronger warning sign than “number of partners” alone.
4) Do they crave external validation? Some people are dangerously powered by being desired.If a person needs to constantly feel wanted, admired, chased, chosen,pursued,
…then marriage can feel “too normal” after a while and that person may become vulnerable to outside attention.
5) Have they actually repented / matured / changed? This is the big one. It's not: “They said they’ve changed.” but have they actually become different?
Signs of real change include: stronger boundaries, honesty, accountability, less appetite for chaos, less need for attention, more self-respect, more respect for covenant, less secretive behavior, more discipline. That is what matters not just “She said she’s not that person again.”
Words are cheap. Patterns are expensive.
To conclude,
Yes, a person with a long pattern of sexual looseness, multiple partners, and thrill-based intimacy may have a higher statistical and practical risk of cheating later in marriage but the reason is not mystical.
It is because they may have developed:
habits of novelty
weak restraint
normalized boundary crossing
high stimulation appetite
Comfort with secrecy
chemistry-driven decision making
That is what raises the risk.
But there’s a spiritual dimension too. From a spiritual and moral lens, repeated sensual disorder can do more than create habits.
It can also create:
desensitization, appetite disorder, attachment confusion, weakened conscience and what some would call bonding fragmentation.
Meaning: the person’s inner world becomes trained to separate body from covenant, pleasure from responsibility, and desire from discipline.
That’s not a small thing.

So yes:
there can be a moral-spiritual dulling effect if someone repeatedly lives in unrestrained sensuality.
That is very real.
But again — and this is important —
it is not irreversible.
Some people genuinely turn around.
But they must actually do the inner work. Marriage alone won’t do it for them. I rest my keyboard.

IGP Disu Unveils New Security Vehicles, Bikes In Ogun (See Pictures)

2026-04-06T18:14:29Z

The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Rilwan Disu, on Saturday took centre stage at the commissioning of landmark projects in Ogun State, reaffirming the Nigeria Police Force’s commitment to strengthening national security and deepening collaboration with state authorities.

The high-profile event, attended by top government officials and security stakeholders, highlighted the strategic importance of security in driving development. Disu’s presence underscored ongoing efforts by the Police leadership to align operational priorities with infrastructural growth across the country.

A key highlight of the ceremony was the commissioning of new security vehicles and electric motorbikes aimed at boosting the operational capacity of security agencies in the state. The IGP commended the Ogun State Government for what he described as a proactive and forward-thinking approach to security, noting that the newly deployed assets would significantly enhance rapid response and patrol efficiency.

He stressed that effective policing remains central to maintaining peace and order, assuring residents that the Force would continue to evolve strategies to tackle emerging threats. According to him, the Nigeria Police Force is committed to working closely with both the Federal Government and sub-national authorities to ensure the safety of lives and property.

Disu further called on members of the public to support security agencies by providing timely and credible information, describing community cooperation as vital in combating crime and sustaining a secure environment.

The Police leadership also expressed appreciation to the Ogun State Government and other dignitaries for their continued partnership, noting that such collaboration is essential to advancing security initiatives and fostering national development.

Tinubu Celebrates Gbenga Daniel At 70, Recalls His Role In 1999 Victory

2026-04-06T17:15:36Z

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has congratulated former Ogun State governor and current senator, Gbenga Daniel, on his 70th birthday, praising his enduring impact on Nigeria’s development.
In a personally signed statement on Monday, the President described Daniel as an accomplished engineer, entrepreneur, and politician whose success reflects dedication, resilience, and strategic insight.

Tinubu highlighted Daniel’s contributions across both private enterprise and public service, noting that his achievements were driven by “hard work, tenacity, wisdom, and courage.”

Reflecting on their long-standing political alliance, the President recalled Daniel’s involvement in his emergence as governor of Lagos State in 1999. He said Daniel worked closely with him and other allies during the campaign period to secure victory at the polls.

The President also commended Daniel’s business acumen, referencing his role as founder of Kresta Laurel, an electro-mechanical engineering firm established in 1990, which has grown into a notable enterprise.

Speaking on Daniel’s time as Ogun State governor, Tinubu noted that his administration, which began in 2003, was marked by significant strides in infrastructure development, industrialisation, education, and public-private partnerships. He also credited him with initiating key projects such as the state’s first agro-allied cargo airport and establishing Tai Solarin University of Education.

Tinubu further described Daniel as a committed progressive and loyal member of the Afenifere, acknowledging his political journey through different parties before returning to the All Progressives Congress.

As Daniel marks the milestone, the President expressed gratitude for his service to Ogun State and the nation, while wishing him continued good health and many more years of meaningful contributions.
