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.

AFCON 2025 Final: Morocco vs Senegal – Football, History, and Africa’s Political Legacy

The AFCON 2025 final in Rabat on January 18 is more than a football match—it’s a journey through Africa’s sporting and political history. Morocco faces Senegal after avenging past semi-final losses to Cameroon and Nigeria. African football, once introduced by colonial powers, became a tool of resistance, nation-building, and pan-African identity, from clubs like Al Ahly in Egypt to the FLN team in Algeria. Morocco’s hosting symbolizes decades of football as a platform for culture, resistance, and unity, even as AFCON prepares to shift to a four-year cycle under FIFA’s schedule changes.

Is Peter Obi a ‘Political Traveller’ Gifted a Presidential Ticket? Why Labour Party VP Candidate Datti Baba-Ahmed Is Challenging Obi’s ADC Move and Declaring His Own 2027 Ambition

Former Labour Party vice-presidential candidate Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed has launched a pointed political broadside that appears directed at his former principal, Peter Obi, following Obi’s decision to join the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition. Without naming him directly, Baba-Ahmed described Obi and other defecting politicians as “political travellers” who were “gifted a presidential ticket,” igniting fresh debate over loyalty, leadership, and the future of Nigeria’s opposition ahead of 2027.

Speaking while declaring his intention to run for president, Baba-Ahmed insisted that he remains firmly within the Labour Party (LP), arguing that the party already “won a presidential election” and still represents a credible alternative to Nigeria’s dominant political blocs. He dismissed the ADC coalition as a gathering of “disgruntled politicians” who failed to properly challenge alleged constitutional breaches in the 2023 elections, questioning whether such alliances truly offer reform or merely recycle old power structures.

At the heart of his message was a bold economic promise: Baba-Ahmed said that by June 2027, salaries of public servants—especially security personnel and teachers—would be quadrupled, insisting that “Nigeria can afford it.” He framed this pledge as a moral obligation to workers often overlooked despite their critical role in national stability and development.

Positioning himself as a political outlier, Baba-Ahmed challenged rivals to produce “just one” major presidential aspirant who has never belonged to a ruling party. “I am that one,” he declared, stressing his independence and rejecting what he described as opportunistic movement between power centres. He added that he has no intention of joining any ruling party—except one he hopes to lead through the ballot.

The former LP vice-presidential candidate also pushed back against claims that defections are weakening the Labour Party, saying neither he nor the party is responsible. According to him, individuals welcomed into LP in 2022 “with a presidential ticket” merely continued their political journey elsewhere. He urged supporters to “use the truth” amid what he called increasingly hostile online narratives.

Recounting political history, Baba-Ahmed asserted that he aspired to the presidency before Peter Obi, citing events from 2018 when he contested in the PDP primaries and personally sought Obi’s support. While he spoke respectfully of Obi’s character, the implication was clear: leadership ambition, he argued, did not originate with his former running mate.

Baba-Ahmed also highlighted Labour Party’s achievements despite financial constraints and what he termed “an era of perfected electoral fraud,” pointing to the party’s electoral gains—one state governor, eight senators, and around 40 House of Representatives members—as proof of its growing national footprint.

The controversy now raises pressing political questions: Is Peter Obi abandoning the movement that propelled him in 2023? Does the ADC coalition represent a genuine opposition realignment or a gathering of familiar political actors? And can Datti Baba-Ahmed’s pledge of economic reform, party loyalty, and outsider status reshape Nigeria’s 2027 presidential race? As realignments continue, the Labour Party faces a defining moment over identity, leadership, and the path forward in Nigeria’s evolving political landscape.

Did Graceland Polytechnic Scam Its Graduates? How Fake Admissions, Missing JAMB Records and Delayed Accreditation Are Destroying Students’ Futures in Kwara State

How can a student graduate with a Distinction and a CGPA of 3.72—only to be told years later that his admission never officially existed? This troubling question now surrounds Graceland Polytechnic, Offa, Kwara State, where dozens of National Diploma (ND) graduates say their academic journeys have been invalidated by alleged fake admissions and unaccredited programmes.

One Mass Communication graduate, who completed his studies in 2022, believed his strong performance would naturally lead to HND or Direct Entry admission into a university. But when he visited the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) office in Ilorin, he was shocked to learn that his name was missing from CAPS and all official admission platforms. According to JAMB officials, the polytechnic had never uploaded his admission for validation—meaning, on paper, he had never been admitted at all.

Was this an administrative oversight—or a systemic failure that misled students for years? The graduate said repeated attempts to seek clarification from his department and ICT unit led nowhere, forcing him to abandon his dream of further education.

Other graduates tell similar stories. A student identified as Stephen described years of fear, uncertainty, and emotional exhaustion as his future remained frozen. Another, Kenny, said he gave up entirely on academics after realizing that his ND certificate lacked recognition, choosing business over a degree that institutions would not accept.

The crisis appears to go beyond one department. Graduates from Science and Laboratory Technology (SLT) revealed that accreditation was only granted after many students had already graduated or attempted to progress, rendering their certificates useless for further studies. Students allege that despite repeated assurances from management that programmes such as Mass Communication, SLT, Accountancy, and Computer Science were fully accredited, many were not.

Did students unknowingly spend years paying fees for programmes that had no official standing? A leaked audio recording deepened concerns, with a former Head of Department allegedly advising students to abandon hopes of HND or Direct Entry and to use their ND only for employment—or start afresh through JAMB.

While the school was approved by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) in 2019 after being founded in 2013, the Registrar has admitted that accreditation for some courses only came in early 2025, excluding earlier graduates. He acknowledged the students’ suffering but described the situation as one inherited from past management.

For affected graduates, the issue goes beyond paperwork. They speak of stolen years, broken trust, wasted finances, and futures unfairly placed on hold. Many are now calling on regulatory authorities to investigate the institution, warning that without accountability, more young Nigerians may fall victim to what they describe as an education scam disguised as opportunity.

Is this merely a case of poor administration—or a deeper failure in Nigeria’s education oversight system?

Nigerian Woman Doris Gomba Completes 27-Day Cross-Border Trek from Ghana to Lagos to Advocate for Orphans, Faces Challenges Across Togo and Benin

Nigerian activist, actor, and singer Doris Gomba Obarine completed a physically and emotionally demanding 27-day trek across West Africa from Ghana through Togo and the Republic of Benin to Lagos, Nigeria, to raise awareness about the plight of orphans. Motivated by her personal experience as an orphan, Obarine said the journey was aimed at amplifying the voices of children who lose their parents and challenging societal neglect.
During the trek, she faced language barriers, logistical challenges, and financial pressures, particularly in Togo and Benin, while navigating accommodation, border crossings, and local perceptions. Despite difficulties, she visited orphanages, donated to children, and shared words of encouragement.
Obarine described the journey as a foundation for her advocacy mission, emphasizing that the real work involves long-term support, skill acquisition, and empowerment for orphans. She also hopes the project will elevate her acting career, which has spanned nearly a decade.

Terrorists Abduct Newly Married Kogi Man Days After Wedding on Abuja–Lokoja Highway, Wife Escapes as Insecurity Worsens

Terrorists have abducted a newly married man from Kogi State just days after his wedding while traveling along the Abuja–Lokoja highway, a route increasingly plagued by kidnappings and violent attacks. The incident occurred on January 1, 2026, around Kotokerefe community, when the victim was journeying from Inye in Ankpa Local Government Area to Abuja with his wife and a friend.

Sources disclosed that the attackers intercepted their vehicle and forced it to stop, seizing the man while his wife and companion managed to escape and later raised the alarm. The victim reportedly got married on December 29, 2025, and was heading to Abuja shortly after the ceremony when he was abducted.

As of the time of reporting, security agencies had yet to issue an official statement, and it remains unclear whether the abductors have contacted the victim’s family to demand a ransom. The abduction comes amid escalating insecurity in Kogi State, following a separate terrorist attack on Idofin community in Yagba East Local Government Area on January 3, 2026, which left one person dead and another seriously injured.

Gambian Authorities Confirm Seven Dead, Scores Rescued After Migrant Boat Carrying Over 200 People Capsizes on Deadly Atlantic Route

Gambian authorities have confirmed that at least seven people died and 96 others were rescued after a boat carrying migrants capsized overnight, according to a statement from the country’s defence ministry. The vessel was reportedly transporting more than 200 migrants when the tragic incident occurred.

Officials said 10 of the rescued migrants were in critical condition and are currently receiving urgent medical treatment. Search and rescue operations led to the recovery of seven bodies, while fears remain that many others may still be missing.

The incident once again highlights the extreme dangers of the Atlantic migration route from West Africa to Spain’s Canary Islands, widely regarded as one of the deadliest migration corridors in the world. Thousands of African migrants attempt the journey each year in overcrowded and unseaworthy boats in search of better economic opportunities.

According to European Union data cited by Reuters, more than 46,000 irregular migrants arrived in the Canary Islands in 2024, the highest number ever recorded. Meanwhile, rights group Caminando Fronteras reported that over 10,000 people died attempting the crossing in the same year, representing a 58 percent increase compared with 2023.

The latest tragedy follows a similar deadly incident in August 2025, when at least 70 migrants were killed after a boat believed to have departed from Gambia capsized, one of the worst migrant boat disasters in recent years.
