I have observed the events in our Nation for the past few weeks as it unfolds and I have chosen a special day like my 76th year on earth to address that in a few words. I have deduced that: – Being a Nigerian is a full-time job
-Being a Nigerian comes with an inherent perpetual anxiety – We need an explanation

– We need EXPLANATION as a NATION – Chief Pete Edochie 2023

Man 'mistakenly' kills pregnant wife for failing to open gate on time in Anambra

This incident reportedly took place in the Ezi-Ogwugwu, Otolo Nnewi in Nnewi North Local Government Area of Anambra State. According to Obiora, he committed the act as a result of domestic violence. He admitted to the crime to his in-laws, who are struggling to come to terms with the tragic event. In his words; “I returned home in the morning of March 2, 2023, and was knocking at the gate, but my wife did not open immediately. “In that anger, I started shouting at her. I first slapped and hit her from the gate to the house before angrily grabbing her on the neck and strangling her to death. “I couldn’t believe what happened because I never expected that such actions would lead to her death. “I eventually abandoned the corpse and left out of fear and confusion, after confiding in few persons who I sought advice on what to do. “It was later in the evening that my mother reached out to my wife’s family members.” According to a source close to the family, the couple, who got married in August of last year, were anticipating the arrival of their first child before the unfortunate incident occurred. The source revealed that the couple had been experiencing intermittent episodes of domestic violence and familial challenges, which the wife’s family was unaware of. Nathaniel Uzuegbunam’s family from Obiuno community in Otolo Nnewi expressed confusion over why the perpetrator was not present during the entire ordeal and why the mother had to be the one to deliver the tragic news. “At about 7pm on Thursday, March 2, 2023, the deceased family received a call from the husband’s mother, informing them that their daughter had just slumped and appeared to be dead. “As soon as they made their way to their in-law’s residence at Ezi-Ogwugwu, they were informed that their daughter had been rushed to the Nnewi Diocesan Hospital at Akwudo. “At the hospital, the doctor on duty informed them that their daughter was dead after examining her body,” the source stated. When contacted, Police spokesperson Tochukwu Ikenga was unable to verify the incident, but a senior police officer at the Command stated that the suspect would face charges once the investigations were completed.

The Senator who previously represented Adamawa South at the National Assembly issued the statement on Saturday, 4th March in Yola. She extended congratulations to the declared winners, Senator Bola Tinubu and his running mate Sen. Kashim Shettima, for their victory. Bent stated that it would be a waste of resources and time for Peter Obi and Atiku to pursue a legal case.

Bent’s Statement to Atiku and Peter Obi “Engaging in a legal tussle on the widely adjudged most credible election will amount to only unnecessary distraction to hold down the process of leadership to thrive. “The presidential election results were a true reflection of Nigerians honest votes , you don’t need to waste your time and resources. “Going to court will lead them in exercise in futility with no positive impact in the judiciary and democratic systems. “I believe in the duo style of leadership, the ticket will unite us more than the thinking of many who are selfish to look at it from the religious point of view,” she said. “I wish them good tenure in office, I know in their ticket Nigerians will smile again,” Bent added.

A married woman recently attacked her husband’s side chick after nabbing her at her matrimonial home with her husband. In the video, the angry wife tackled her husband’s side chick and tried severally to make her jump down from a storey building.

The side chick was clad in a towel as she hung on the balcony while pleading for her life. “Please forgive me, it’s my first time”, she begged.

Reacting to the video, @mansee29patel said: “To all the fellas saying it’s his fault and not hers. You are wrong. She is equally responsible. Sleeping with someone you know is committed is wrong. Find the way his gf or wife is reacting that’s justified. That’s how some human respond when they fuckin get hurt okay. All are not saints like you guys.” @ms_jada84 wrote: “Give that same energy to your cheating man.” @tony.matthew1 commented: “Women are confused when they get angry… attack the source not the leaves.” @bridgeteko reacted: “Easy peazy! She can’t match the man’s strength so it’s easier to take out the initial aggression on the girl first The man’s own ‘punishment is an entirely different strategy.” @lOyal_guy wrote: “Did i just heard it’s first time?” @Isen2win said: “Stop attacking the woman it’s him who you “~should act dumb chicks.” Watch the video below:

Writer details why parents should create time for their kids

A Nigerian writer has given reasons on why parents should create time for their kids using a rather bitter experince.

Taking to her official Facebook page, the writer detailed the childhood experience of a friend of hers, who went through abuse, in the hands of a neighbour.
According to the lengthy post, her friends parents were so busy that they barely had time for her. Her mum opted for letting a neighbourr pick her up from school. Unknown to them she got sexually abused by the Neighbor, identified as Aunty Esther.
The friend in question was only 8 years old at the time.
She wrote:
“My friend said when she was 8 years old, her mom’s friend picked her up from school, and she also stayed at her place till her mom came back from work.
Her mom work with Unilever then, her mom friend travelled, then her mum talked with one sister in the neighborhood to please pick her up in school. also gave her feeding money. The aunty gladly agreed to take care of my friend; her mom was so happy.
When she got back from school that day, Aunty Esther locked the door. She undressed her and said she should touch her [email protected] Aunty Esther put her hand in my friend v g she said she pointed a light touch in her v g, she don’t know what she was checking but she was trying to use her finger to cut something inside her V g, and the [email protected] was too much, cos she spread her legs too.
Then someone was singing at the corridor trying to approach the door, then she immediately stopped and wore her pants for her; it was Aunty Esther’s brother she opened the door for him and didn’t continue the act. Then my friend said she felt the urge to wee, so she went to the toilet and the pain was so much that it was as if she had a Blade cut in her vagina she manage to wee.
Her mom came to pick her up later in the evening, and she didn’t tell her anything Aunty Esther already warned her not to tell anyone.. her mom called her friend the following day to see whether she was back, she said no. Then her mom said she would stay at Aunty Esther’s place she obliged, then she started to cry.
Her mom didn’t ask why because she was already late for work. She took her to her mother’s place. And she felt relieved and a little bit happy. Her Mom must have Thought she would be safe at aunty Esther’s place since she’s a lady.
Husband and wife should not do a white collar job; husband can while the wife does business that would enable her to watch over her kids.”
Wife a banker, husband a banker is. a no. who would watch over the kids? I forgot to add her dad work at the airport while her Mom work at Unilever.. they don’t have time. Be friends to your kids don’t be too rigid, have time for them, ask them questions.. charity they said begin from home.

Speaking to reporters after the match, Maguire said made it clear he understands what Ten Hag expects from him as he aims to force his way back into the fold on a regular basis. Harry Maguire speaks after not given play time at Manchester United He said; “I feel like I’ve looked after myself – I think it’s two-and-a-half weeks since my last start – so I’ve been working hard in training, the lads who’ve been playing have been doing well so when I get the opportunity I need to take it and make sure we win. It was nice to be out there helping the lads and I’m ready when my chance comes. “Of course, I’m a player, 29 years old, and I haven’t really been in this position in my career so it’s a position that I don’t want to get used to, but it’s part of the parcel of football. “I’m working hard every day, I’m pushing, I’m training well, and when my chance comes I need to take it. We know at this club we need competition for places, we have some top centre-backs at this club so I think we’re all good from now until the end of the season.”
