• Abdullah Trained Amina Through School — Then Watched Her Marry Another Man

    Abdullah was not a wealthy man, but he was hardworking and hopeful. When he met Amina, she was young, focused, and determined to change her life through education. He saw potential in her long before others did, and he chose to stand by her.

    From secondary school through higher education, Abdullah paid Amina’s school fees, bought her books, and supported her daily needs. He made sacrifices quietly, often putting his own dreams on hold so she could pursue hers. To Abdullah, it was more than support — it was love, commitment, and belief in a future they would share.

    As the years passed and Amina approached graduation, things slowly began to change. The warmth in their conversations faded. Messages became less frequent. The bond that once felt unbreakable began to feel distant.

    Not long after Amina completed her studies, the news reached Abdullah — she was getting married to another man. There was no warning, no honest conversation beforehand. The announcement came like a sudden storm, leaving Abdullah with questions that had no answers.

    To Amina, her decision may have been shaped by personal reasons, family expectations, or a different vision for her life. To Abdullah, it felt like a deep betrayal — not just of love, but of the years of sacrifice he made with sincere intentions.

    This story is not only about heartbreak; it is about expectations and unspoken assumptions. It reminds us that support, no matter how genuine, does not guarantee commitment. Love must be freely chosen, not implied through sacrifice.

    In the end, Abdullah learned a painful but necessary lesson: helping someone rise does not always mean they will remain by your side. Sometimes, you are part of someone’s journey, not their destination.

    He walked away hurt, wiser, and stronger — carrying a truth many discover too late: true love is built on mutual choice, not obligation.

  • “I Don’t Want Nigeria to Qualify for 2026 World Cup” — South Africa’s Sports Minister Declares.

    South Africa’s Minister of Sports, Arts, and Culture, Gayton McKenzie, has openly stated that he does not wish to see the Super Eagles of Nigeria qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

    In an interview with Johannesburg-based Radio 947, McKenzie accused Nigeria of trying to sabotage South Africa’s qualification efforts, adding that his remarks were a direct response to what he described as “hostile actions” from the Nigerian side.

    His comments come amid heightened rivalry between the two nations following a tense World Cup qualifying campaign. South Africa had earlier suffered a setback when FIFA docked three points from their tally for fielding an ineligible player — a sanction that temporarily threatened their chances of topping the group.

    Nigeria capitalized on that moment by winning their last two group matches to remain in contention. However, South Africa ultimately secured the Group C ticket with a decisive 3–0 victory over Rwanda, earning their first World Cup berth since 2010.

    Nigeria, now relegated to the continental playoffs, will have to overcome Gabon in November before potentially facing Congo DR or Cameroon to keep their World Cup dreams alive, a scenario McKenzie says he is firmly against.

    “I heard people saying we were also supporting Nigeria, but let me be clear, I don’t want them to qualify for the 2026 World Cup,” the 51-year-old minister said.

    He further alleged that Nigeria worked “behind the scenes” to hinder South Africa’s qualification chances. “I know what they did. I want them to lose. They will not go to the World Cup; let another African country go,” McKenzie added.

    He clarified that his stance wasn’t personal but rooted in football rivalry. “It’s not that I hate Nigeria. I simply match the energy they give. They don’t like us, and we don’t like them — it’s that simple. It’s just like the rivalry between Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates,” he said.

  • 23-year-old American Climber, Balin Miller, Dies while climbing a 3000-foot granite wall in Yosemite National Park.

    American climber Balin Miller has d+ed at the age of 23 while attempting a climb in Yosemite National Park, his family confirmed on Thursday.

    Miller was on El Capitan, the park’s iconic 3,000-foot granite wall immortalized by Alex Honnold’s Free Solo, when the fatal accident occurred during his ascent of the “Sea of Dreams” route. His mother, Jeanine Moorman, announced the news in a post on the website of VIRR, the family’s outdoor goods company.

    “This is unthinkable,” she wrote. “At this time, we do not yet know all the details. What we do know is that the world has lost an extraordinary soul, and our hearts are shattered.”

    Moorman remembered her son as a free spirit with “a touch of Robin Williams’ wild energy,” describing him as curious, strategic, and endlessly playful.

    Born into a family that embraced the outdoors, Miller was introduced to climbing by his father in the mountains of Alaska and grew into a fearless adventurer who scaled cliffs and ranges around the world.

    Living a nomadic lifestyle, often out of his silver Prius, he pieced together a shoestring income to fund his passion. “Balin was full of life, a true wild card at heart,” his mother wrote.

    A beloved figure in the climbing community, Miller became popular for his TikTok livestreams and was affectionately nicknamed the “orange tent guy” for his bright gear. His distinctive glitter makeup also drew attention; he once compared it to “a warrior putting makeup on before going into battle,” in an interview with Climbing magazine earlier this year.

    In June, he achieved what is believed to be the first solo climb of the Slovak Direct route on Denali (Mount McKinley), North America’s tallest peak. He had only recently returned from an ice and alpine expedition in Alaska and had long dreamed of conquering a Yosemite lead.

    His death coincided with the first day of the U.S. federal government shutdown, a development that left many national parks at risk of closure or reduced services.

  • Health Influencer Victoria Everest Caught on Video Allegedly Admitting to False Rape Claims.

    Health influencer Victoria Everest Ekong has gone viral after a video surfaced allegedly showing her admit to making false rape allegations.

    The footage, secretly filmed in a gym by a man known as Gucci Walker, appears to capture Victoria confessing. Gucci said he recorded after learning someone he knew was accused because, “Victoria planned it very well.”
    In the clip, Gucci warns her that lying about rape can backfire. Victoria replies, “It can’t! There’s evidence. I’ve given them my clothes. We had sex.”

    She further admits that, “One was for an occasion where he left. The other time he was there but he claimed we didn’t have sex, but there was evidence to say that we had. I don’t care. I wanna take him to the cleaners babe. I hate him cause he’s so much like me that it annoys me.”

    Gucci accuses her of pulling a “fake rape charge,” to which she counters:
    “That’s going to hurt him… With an assault charge and rape charge, he’ll think twice about what he does next time.”

    She later adds, “The guy lies for a living. Let him have a taste of his own medicine. That’s all. He spins stories and sells dreams for a living. So when a story is spun on him, let him swallow that pill.” 

    Gucci, trying to stay diplomatic, responds,
    “I get your angle, but you can’t say you have won.” 
    She replies, “It’s not a game. I’m done. I’ve pulled back. I have done what I’ve done and played my move. I’ve moved on.”

    Victoria has not commented but the charges have reportedly been dropped.

  • Nigeria @ 65: The worst is over, we’ve turned a new corner Tinubu.

    Remembering the founding fathers, Tinubu recalled the sacrifices and vision of the country’s founding fathers, Herbert Macaulay, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Tafawa Balewa, Obafemi Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello, Margaret Ekpo, Anthony Enahoro, Michael Okpara, Aminu Kano, Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti and others, saying “they believed it was Nigeria’s manifest destiny to lead the entire black race as the largest black nation on earth.”

    We have not strayed too far

    Reflecting on Nigeria’s journey since October 1, 1960, Tinubu said: “While we may not have achieved all the lofty dreams of our forebears, we have not strayed too far from them. In 65 years, we have made tremendous progress in economic growth, social cohesion, and physical development.

    “At independence, Nigeria had 120 secondary schools and two tertiary institutions. Today, we have over 23,000 secondary schools, 274 universities, 183 polytechnics and 236 colleges of education. We have witnessed a significant surge in healthcare, infrastructure, telecommunications, aviation, and defence.’’

    Civil war, military rule, resilience
    The President acknowledged Nigeria’s turbulent history but noted that Nigerians weathered the storm and kept hope alive.

    “We fought a bitter civil war, endured military dictatorships and political crises. But in all, we weathered every storm and overcame every challenge with courage and grit,” he said.

    According to him, for 65 years, Nigeria has endured profound social, economic, and political trials.

    He said: ‘’We survived a civil war, military dictatorships, and recurring political crises. In spite of these setbacks, we have recorded progress in economic growth, education, healthcare, infrastructure, and social cohesion.

    ‘’At Independence, Nigeria had just 120 secondary schools with 130,000 students. Today, there are over 23,000 secondary schools. In 1960, we had only the University of Ibadan and Yaba College of Technology. As of 2024, Nigeria boasts 274 universities, 183 polytechnics, and 236 colleges of education. Healthcare, telecommunications, aviation, and financial services have all expanded remarkably.

    Unfinished business
    Declaring that like the founding leaders, he had committed himself irrevocably to the unfinished business of nation-building, President Tinubu said he inherited a near-collapsed economy, distorted by decades of bad policies.

  • “Till today, people still ask me,
    ‘Why you no talk when Regina moved on?’
    ‘Why you just bone like say nothing happen?’

    Truth is, we were close, we shared dreams, we laughed. So when I saw her wedding online, it hit me.

    But that day, I chose peace. I no go rant, I no go drag. Love no need to turn into wahala. Her happiness still matters.

    And that héartbreak? I used it to grow. I worked, I hustled, I built myself.

    Now I’ve got a son, and my focus is on him and his mother — not on the past.

    I’m shining today not because I didn’t feel páin, but because I refused to let pâin hold me down.

    — Somadina Adinma

So when I saw her wedding online, it hit me. But that day, I chose peace. I no go rant, I no go drag. Love no need to turn into wahala. Her happiness still matters. And that héartbreak? I used it to grow. I worked, I hustled, I built myself. Now I’ve got a son, and my focus is on him and his mother — not on the past. I’m shining today not because I didn’t feel páin, but because I refused to let pâin hold me down. — Somadina Adinma

  • Once-Prominent Oleh Township Stadium in Delta Now Overrun by Bushes and Farmlands

    September 15, 2025

    Oleh Township Stadium in Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State, once a vibrant hub for sports and community events, has fallen into severe neglect, with its grounds now overtaken by cassava, yam, plantain, and thick bushes.

    The facility, which hosted matches during the 2006 Africa Women’s Championship, including the South Africa vs. Algeria clash, was once ranked among Delta’s most prominent arenas—alongside Oghara, Ughelli, Agbor, and the Jay-Jay Okocha Stadium in Ogwashi-Uku—under the administration of former Governor James Ibori.

    Residents who visited the stadium this week described its collapse as a “death sentence” for young talents in the region.

    “This used to be one of the most beautiful stadiums in Delta about 10–15 years ago. It was the pride of the state. Today, it is farmland. Cassava here, yams there. The tracks, roofs, and seats are all gone. Dreams have been wasted,” a resident lamented.

    Community members accused the Delta State Government, House of Assembly, and Commissioner for Sports of deliberate neglect, and also faulted the local government chairman for ignoring the stadium’s decay.

    Some young athletes continue to struggle to train on the dilapidated grounds, but residents say their ambitions are being crushed.

    For many, the stadium holds deep personal value. A former athlete recalled how Oleh Stadium launched his career:

    “I learned handball here and represented Delta State in several national tournaments. To see this stadium abandoned is heartbreaking. It once gave us hope.”

    Locals have now issued an urgent appeal to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to rescue the facility from total collapse, warning that the neglect is destroying future sporting opportunities.

    “Delta prides itself as a sports-loving state. But look at what has become of Oleh Stadium. It is nothing but shameful,” a youth leader said.

  • Actor Derek Dixon Takes His Tyler Perry Sexual Harassment Allegations To TV.

    Long-simmering sexual misconduct allegations against Tyler Perry are gaining national spotlight as ABC News aired an interview on Sept. 9 with actor Derek Dixon, who had made a harassment claim in a June lawsuit.

    In a preview, Dixon recalled the first alleged incident at Perry’s home in January 2020 after drinking together.

    “I got into bed and then I noticed that he climbed into bed with me as well and started rubbing my leg,” Dixon told ABC News anchor Linsey Davis. “I jumped up out of bed.”

    Dixon, who appeared in Perry’s The Oval (2021–2025), claims Perry exploited male actors and hara§§ed staff. His $260 million lawsuit echoes allegations he made to The Hollywood Reporter in July. He also linked Perry to Christian Keyes’ 2023 account of abuse by a “black Hollywood billionaire,” though Keyes’ team offered no comment.

    Perry’s attorney, Matthew Boyd, denied the claims. “This is an individual who got close to Tyler Perry for what now appears to be nothing more than setting up a scam,” Boyd said. “But Tyler will not be shaken down and we are confident these fabricated claims of hara§§ment will fail.”

    Still, Dixon insists, “Unless someone has been through something where they have their control over their bodies taken away you don’t really understand the kind of feelings that you get in that moment,” he said.

    He added, “Everyone deserves to go to work and do their job without their boss trying to have s+x with them. My goal is to help ensure that the next generation of actors and creatives don’t have to choose between their dreams and their dignity.”

    The lawsuit alleges repeated advances, sexual messages, and graping. Dixon first met Perry in 2019 at a studio event. He recalled when Perry asked if he was an actor. “And he said, ‘Yes you are. I can tell.’” Dixon said Perry later graped him again in 2021.

    “All those years of trying to be an actor would just go up in smoke… I was too afraid to come forward. I knew it would be awful. And I was right,” Dixon told The Hollywood Reporter.

  • Ex-VP Prof Osinbajo Warns ‘Miracle Money’ Gospel is Stunting Nigeria’s Growth.

    Former Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, has warned that prosperity teachings centred on “miracle money” without responsibility are hindering Nigeria’s development.

    Speaking on “Church as a Responsible Pathfinder in Attaining the Nigeria of Our Dreams” alongside TREM’s Bishop Mike Okonkwo, Osinbajo urged churches to return to preaching integrity, diligence, and responsibility.

    He stressed that the true gospel builds societies by instilling honesty and productivity, not shortcuts. Using Africa’s cocoa exports as an example, he noted that resource-rich nations stay poor by failing to add value, while foreign countries profit more through processing.

    He also pointed to the Puritans of Europe, who emphasised ethics and hard work, making corruption the exception. According to him, such values are the key to transforming Nigeria.

  • Women, children suffer as communities battle diseases after deadly flood.

    Each rainy season, floodwaters relentlessly engulf homes and livelihoods across Nigeria, turning dreams into despair. From Lagos, Niger, Ogun, Ondo, Rivers, Yobe, and beyond, families find themselves battling rising waters that swallow everything in their path, forcing desperate escapes, destroying property, and leaving lasting scars on communities already struggling to survive. IDOWU ABDULLAHI reports

    When the rain began on the evening of August 3, 2025, Mrs. Abdulrazaq Suliat did not suspect that her family would spend the night fighting for survival.

    The downpour, which lasted several hours, soon turned into a flood that swallowed her Ikorodu home in Lagos State and left her children in danger.

    What began as drizzle that formed shallow puddles soon swelled into raging streams, creeping into homes and shops in the area.

    For more than seven relentless hours, the rain hammered down heavily, swallowing every path and corner leading to Suliat’s community and others in the Ijede area of Ikorodu.

    While battling for her children’s lives in the flood with a phone’s torchlight as the only saving grace, she watched helplessly as their belongings floated past her, and some were buried under the water.

    By past 12 in midnight, her home was no longer a place of safety but a cottage of fear. Within hours, the flood had risen above their beds. Her nine-year-old son was the first to sense danger.

    “My little child, about 9 years old, was the first to jump up in fear, because the water had splashed all over his face and eyes while he was asleep. He ran to me shouting ‘Mummy!’ When I looked around, the water had reached the bed in the room. In the parlour, it had covered all the electronics like the radio, chairs, things on the floor, and shelves,” she told our correspondent while showing him around the ruins on August 19, 2025.

    Super Falcons skipper Rasheedat Ajibade has revealed that the team is yet to receive the promised rewards for their historic win at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).

    Despite a public pledge by the Nigerian government to gift each player $100,000, three-bedroom apartments, national honors, and additional donations from the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, Ajibade confirmed:

    > “We’ve not received anything yet.”


    The delay has sparked disappointment among fans and sports stakeholders who were eager to see the champions honored for clinching their 10th continental title.

  • Tragedy in Education: Kogi Students Forced to Learn Under Trees as School Lies in Ruins for Over a Decade

    In a heartbreaking revelation, students of Government Science Secondary School, Oguma, in Bassa LGA, Kogi State, have been learning under mango trees for over 10 years due to the total collapse of school infrastructure.

    Classrooms have no roofs, no walls, no windows—just crumbling blocks and shattered dreams. With no shelter, students are exposed to scorching heat, rain, and insecurity, forcing many parents to withdraw their children in search of private education they can barely afford.

    The situation was brought to light by civic platform Monitng, which condemned the silence and inaction of both past and present administrations, despite alleged allocations of billions of naira to education under former Governor Yahaya Bello and the current government led by Governor Usman Ododo.

    "This is not education—it’s abandonment," Monitng said, urging Governor Ododo to declare a state of emergency in the education sector and take immediate action to renovate the school and restore dignity to public education.

    According to UBEC, ₦250 billion was disbursed for basic school upgrades across the country, yet Oguma remains a symbol of neglect and misappropriation.

    As teachers lose morale and communities fall into despair, one truth remains clear: Nigeria’s children deserve better than classrooms under mango trees.
