Yul Edochie’s daughter, Danielle, has made her stance on dating internet fraudsters clear, saying she would never willingly be in a relationship with a “***** boy” despite the huge amounts of money some of them make.

In a video shared online, Danielle said she loves money but would not want to be with someone whose lifestyle is built around stealing from other people.

She also questioned why some people are surprised when she says she is not attracted to men involved in internet fraud, stressing that she would rather stay away from such individuals regardless of their financial status.

Nigerian writer and commentator Solomon Buchi has criticised South African singer Tyla over her planned performance in Nigeria, calling on Nigerians to boycott the show.

Buchi argued that Tyla remained silent during xenophobic attacks against Nigerians and other immigrants in South Africa, but is now planning to perform for Nigerian fans.

According to him, Nigerians should use the planned concert as an opportunity to make a statement against xenophobia rather than welcome the singer “with open arms.”

“Tyler must not have that show,” Buchi said, arguing that Nigerians should support local artistes instead.

He also suggested that Nigerians who love Tyla’s music could travel to South Africa to attend her shows, while urging those who attend her Nigerian concert to protest peacefully against xenophobia.

“It’s not about Tyla. I have no beef with her, but it’s about coming together as a people and saying, no, we have a voice and that voice matters,” he said.

President Bola Tinubu has given the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) a clean bill of health, accusing the opposition parties of crying wolf.

Speaking while receiving the leadership of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN), led by its President, Most Rev. Matthew Ndagoso, at the State House, Abuja, on Tuesday, President Tinubu said

“The opportunities are equal. INEC is neutral. They have never intimidated anyone. If political opponents are crying wolf, maybe they are afraid of their own shadows and uncertainty in the companies they keep, not me.”

Ahead of the 2027 elections, the opposition parties have repeatedly accused INEC of undermining their activities to favour the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

While speaking to the Bishops, the President assured Nigerians that the ongoing restructuring of security operations and institutions will deliver victory over terrorism, band!try and k!dnappings across the country.

President Tinubu emphasised that Nigeria’s security architecture is being repositioned for greater efficiency.

He said the security challenges were being confronted through enhanced intelligence gathering, restructuring and repositioning of security institutions, improved logistical support, and prioritisation of frontline personnel welfare.

Daddy Freeze has jokingly compared his son to Nigerian skit maker Peller after revealing that he received a whopping ₦7 million in school fees.

In a video shared online, the media personality teased his son, asking if he wanted to be like Peller, whom he noted did not go to school but still made his parents proud.

Daddy Freeze continued joking that with school fees now costing millions of naira, having a profitable talent could be a cheaper alternative.

His son, however, did not seem amused by the suggestion.

A Nigerian man has narrated an encounter he claims he had with officers of the Nigeria Police Force, alleging that his phone was taken and searched while he was at a police station.

According to the man, he was stopped at a checkpoint while on his way to the bank to get money for food after his wife recently gave birth.

He said officers questioned him about his vehicle documents before allegedly taking him to their office after suspecting that he was recording them.

The man claimed that while his phone was in the possession of one of the officers, it was searched and private videos of his wife during childbirth were allegedly found on the device.

He claimed that the police officer watched the videos showing his wife during labour and in a private state while giving birth to their child, expressing shock at the alleged incident

The man also alleged that the officers demanded money for fuel during the encounter, although he said he did not have cash on him because he was heading to the bank.

He later said the situation was eventually resolved and his documents were returned to him.

A Nigerian nurse has warned people against giving water to accident victims immediately after a crash, explaining that what may seem like a simple act of kindness could potentially put the victim at greater risk.

According to the nurse, accident victims may be in shock or have suffered a head injury, which could affect their ability to swallow properly.

She explained that giving them water in such a condition could cause them to choke or aspirate the liquid into their lungs.

The nurse also said accident victims may require emergency surgery and anaesthesia, making it important for medical professionals to assess them before they consume anything.

She further pointed to the possibility of internal injuries and bleeding, stressing that severe thirst after an accident should not automatically be treated with water.

Rather than giving the victim water, she advised people to focus on getting emergency medical help and, while waiting, keep the person’s airway clear and avoid giving them anything to eat or drink.

Her advice has since sparked conversations online about some of the common things Nigerians do when trying to help accident victims at the scene of a crash.
