A Nigerian man has shared his opinion on mental health which has recently been used by the Gen Z population, calling it an excuse for bad behavior. The man made his opinion public via a podcast, The Shade corner, with a group of his friends. He is of the opinion that the word ‘Mental health’ has now become bastardized. Most people use it to dodge accountability, propagate bad behavior and skip work. However, a friend at the podcast disagreed with his opinion, claiming that although some people use it as a coverup, mental health is real and should be given attention to. He related it to physical health while claiming that if one is sick physically, it takes a while for the illness to progress before death and that is how mental health illnesses like Depression work.

Man in pain as shoe vendor blocks him after paying N78K, delivers wrong sizes, colours
A young Nigerian man expresses dissapointment after paying N78K to a shoe vendor who delivered a terrible quality, sizes and still blocked him for complaining. A social media user identified as @Ugoochinwuba called out a shoe vendor one @Zaki.rita on Instagram with the business name, @Lions_feet for defrauding him. According to Ugo, he had sent samples of the shoes he wanted to the vendor after which they agreed on N78K and part was paid pending completion of the job. However, after the full payment, only one of the shoes was manageable; others were wrong sizes and colours. When he reached out to the shoe vendor, he got blocked across all social media platforms and an effort made to reach the vendor’s sister made matters worse.
Shoe vendor @zaki.rita on Instagram How a shoe vendor duped me of N78K, blocked me everywhere “This is the first time I’m doing this, on a good day I don’t like to drag people online I’ll just let it go but this is too much loss for me to handle. Few weeks ago I contracted a lady on Instagram whom I assumed was my friend to help me do a few footwares🧵.
I have never worn a corporate footware before and I planned to look good and focus on getting new clients as a sales person for a real estate company So I begged this girl I told her I’m not in a rush and she should take her time to get the job done, I told her everything I want.
I wanted a suede shoe, with a leather sole because I know how fragile most rubber soles can be we agreed on a price which I paid a part and told her when she’s done I will balance up. Prior to this second job she had messed up with the first job which I let it go. I ordered for a brown slippers and black and she delivered a different color but I had to accept it cause the job was fair And I had paid in full. Yesterday I had a greater shock when the shoe I ordered was delivered to me. It turned out to be what I didn’t order, The colours didn’t match what I sent her, the sole wasn’t what I requested it was delivered in a nylon bag like a dustbin.
Here she is acting surprised, like she didn’t know what she sent.
I finally called her on whatsapp a few times cause she had switched off her phones to my surprise she blocked me on whatsapp.
I then summoned courage and contacted her older sister whom I found on Instagram, after explaining my ordeal to her and got no response I called this lady to ask for my refund again and she said I should go and collect my money from her sister shey I went to report her to people.
After testing the shoe to see if it’s manageable I found out it’s not my size I wear a size 42/43 how can I lose 58,000 Naira just like that. Please if you’ll like to buy the shoes for less the cost kindly leave a comment below or send me a dm I’m willing to sell them off🙏🏽🙏🏽 It’s a SIZE 43 FOOTWARE.”

Kanayo Kanayo tackles Nollywood over wrong costumes in movies
Veteran Nollywood actor, Kanayo Kanayo, has advised filmmakers to create more realistic settings in their movies. He urged filmmakers to avoid making rich characters wear traditional clothing or heavy makeup when depicting regular scenes. He wrote: “Many Nollywood Producers paint the wrong picture of dressing/Makeup in the movies, all in the name of fine picture. IT’S MISLEADING. The reality is that many practitioners have not realised that film making is part of AGENDA SETTING in national development especially the culture and tradition of the people. The rich most times dress casually. Many are known by their expensive wrist watches, footwear, T-shirt NOT AGBADA. “How can a man be resting in his house, lying on the Sofa fully dressed? How can a woman be adorned with full makeup while cooking? Most of the ladies sleep with their wigs on, with applied full facial foundation. Ahhhhhhhĥh. WHO DOES THAT? Dear colleagues, let’s watch it.” According to the actor, many filmmakers are not aware that their movies play a role in shaping the culture and tradition of the people. Kanayo also noted that wealthy people often dress casually, and their expensive watches, footwear, and T-shirts are more recognizable than traditional clothing. He called on his colleagues to create more credible and realistic movies to make the industry more formidable and gain international recognition. Kanayo is currently working on his PhD dissertation, which focuses on the role of Nollywood in shaping and sustaining Nigerian cultural identity. “This is part of what my PhD dissertation is about. “The role of Nollywood in shaping and sustaining a Nigerian culture identity”. You have just captured the essence of my research, asking us to be more realistic in the image we create. “By doing so, the industry will become more credible and then acquire a more formidable character with which they cannot be ignored in the national and international agenda. This is what the music industry has done with Afrobeat. Now, they are all getting paid like they hit a jackpot. Nollywood can do better than them,” he said. Watch the video below:

However, the surprise didn’t end there. During her eighth week of pregnancy, Monique discovered that she was not expecting just one baby, but three.
Woman births triplets after being diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) The couple shared the news of the triplet pregnancy with 200 guests at a baby shower when Monique was 27 weeks pregnant, leaving everyone delighted and amazed.

‘Obasa’s re-election as Lagos Speaker wrong choice for indigenes’
A former Minister of Communications and Trustee of Omoeko Pataki, Major General Tajudeen Olanrewaju (Rtd), has condemned the re-election of Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, an Ogun State indigene as Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly. The former minister who had appealed ahead of time that an indigene of Lagos state be Speaker of the 10th Assembly in the state, sees the re-election as wrong footing and wrong choice for the indigenes of the state, viewing from the background that Speaker Obasa is being investigated, and yet inaugurated as the Speaker of 10th Lagos State House of Assembly. GistReel reports that Obasa was re-elected on Tuesday by his colleagues, who also elected Hon. Mojisola Lasbat Meranda as the Deputy Speaker. The lawmaker was unanimously re-elected after a proclamation of the 10th Assembly of the Lagos State House of Assembly by Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, who was present with Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat and top government officials at the chamber of the House. However, Major General Tajudeen Olanrewaju’s (Rtd) reaction to Obasa’s re-election was contained in a press release by his Media Office Wednesday morning. The release particularly relayed that General Olanrewaju, a known voice in the advocacy for improved lives of his people of Lagos origin, sees the reason given for ignoring compassionate appeals to allow owners of Lagos State to enjoy their constitutional right of participating in the day-to-day affairs of their own state as unsustainable. The Retired Army General and Prince of Lagos State, while reviewing the development, subtly said: “The clearance of Mr Obasa to return as the Speaker of the 10th Lagos State House of Assembly was premised on the need for stability and continuity in the Assembly by the highest decision-making body, otherwise known as Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC). READ MORE: Lagos APC Leaders Deny Knowledge of Tobun’s Speakership Aspiration “This raison d’etre is weak and unsustainable because Mr. President Bola Tinubu was a beneficiary of a zoning and rotational policy of the National Working Committee of the APC government. The return of Mr.Obasa is a deliberate policy of marginalisation of the indigenes in the State. “No matter how the occupants of the three most important political offices of the State Administration today launder their curriculum vitae, they remain, indigenes of Ogun State but residents in Lagos and incapable of claiming indigeneship of two states, because the Constitution does not allow it. “In any case, by this re-engagement, our Assembly in Lagos has become “One Man Democracy” (apology to Sonala Olumhense, a Punch Columnist). The return of Mr. Obasa is a big slap on the faces of the indigenes of the state.,” he said in a release by his Media Office.
