So so disappointed. Thought ICC has come to serve the short man and the puppet summons for their crimes against Easterners or at best for ruining a thriving nation and impoverishing its citizens. That would have been the best news of 2022. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Lady calls out her newly-wedded husband for allegedly deceiving her into marrying him Two months after their wedding, a lady has called out her husband, Emmanuel Egba, for allegedly deceiving her into marrying him. The lady, identified as Oladimeji Oluwatosin, revealed they got married on February 19, 2022, at First East Circular road, in Benin City, Edo State. According to her, “We dated for six months and he said he wanted to get married. He deceived me into marrying him because we are Witnesses and we believe once we get married we can't divorce, except on the ground of adultery. He borrowed money to show off, pretended that he was rich and came for my hand in marriage. My family and I agreed because he was acting all nice. When we were preparing for the wedding he lied that his company was owing him N11million. So my family took the responsibility of the wedding, did everything, only for me to get to his house and find out he has been lying to me all along. He promised to open a tailoring shop for me but he couldn’t even feed me, talk more of opening the shop. I told him I was going to tell the elders in our congregation and he thre#tened to k#ll me because he knew he would be disfellowship. He even locked me in the bathroom one day and I was screaming for help, luckily for me his neighbors came to my rescue. I left his house that day. Ladies that want to get married now should please make thorough research before they get married.” 54 Likes 7 Shares

Is04970: You are talking gibberish. Don't know whether you want to be downright mischievous or you are sincerely ignorant. Have you heard of NADECO before? I want to believe you don't know much of history, so know this: “The major organisation that emerged which helped to shape the anti-military and pro-democracy movement was the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO). NADECO was roughly a product of another organisation which existed before the June 12 crisis. “This was the Committee for Unity and Understanding (CUU). The overriding motive of CUU was the campaign for power shift from the North to the South. It was started not long after the Babangida transition-to-civil-rule programme started. Founders and key members of the CUU included Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu, Chief Sam Mbakwe, [/b]Mr Ayo Opadokun, Chief Edward Kobani, Chief Lulu Briggs, [b]Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe, Alhaji Abdulazeez Ude, Ambassador Tanko Yusuf and General Theophilus Danjuma. https://tribuneonlineng.com/june-12-how-nadeco-was-formed-osoba/ Don't say the Igbo were not part of the struggle which made the country pencil a Yoruba man for the presidency position. |

KHARKIV, Ukraine — When Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine in February, its strategy featured a rapid advance of tanks and helicopter assaults deep into the country — two strategies that ultimately failed and cost Moscow an untold number of casualties. Now, with a narrower goal focused primarily on Ukraine’s east, Russia said on Tuesday that it had begun the new military campaign, which Ukrainian and U.S. officials said will be much more methodical. Instead of lightning attacks from the Russian front lines, Moscow’s forces — arrayed in a semicircle that stretches west to east from the city of Izium to Sieverodonetsk — have increased their artillery barrages and sent small detachments of troops to probe Ukrainian lines. Many of the Ukrainian troops that are in this region, known as the Donbas, are entrenched in earthworks that have been there for the better part of a decade. Known as “shaping operations” in military circles, these smaller Russian attacks are often precursors to larger troop movements, or serve as a distraction from other fronts. In the past several days the Russians have sent around 11 more battalion tactical groups into the Donbas, bringing the number there to around 75, according to Pentagon officials. Each group has roughly a thousand troops. In Horlivka, a city occupied by Russian-backed separatists, a resident said on Tuesday that, after a week of quiet, there was now heavy artillery fire coming from the Russian side, along with troop movements and Russian jets flying overhead. There were strikes across Ukraine in the last several days signaling a new escalation: In Kharkiv, for instance, Russian artillery slammed into a frequently shelled residential area on Tuesday, killing at least three people. The lethal strike comes on the heels of two days of blistering rocket and artillery attacks into parts of the city that have been rarely hit in the past month. A person was killed outside an apartment complex that was hit in Kharkiv on Monday.

One resident in Kramatorsk — one of the larger cities in the Donbas still in Ukrainian hands, which is likely to be one of Russia’s main targets in the offensive — stood and watched from a vantage point in recent days as the front line to the northwest of his city erupted in concentrated artillery barrages. “Russian forces have started the battle for the Donbas that they have been getting ready for a long time,” Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, said in a video Monday night. “A very significant part of the Russian Army is now concentrated for that offensive.” The two sides have been locked in a battle in the Donbas for the last eight years, with Ukrainian government forces fighting Russian-backed separatists. The coming battle, on wide-open terrain, will look significantly different from the urban warfare that took place around Kyiv, where the Russian military tried and failed to take the capital. “Compared to the first few weeks of the war, this next offensive is a lot less decisive than it may seem,” said Michael Kofman, the director of Russian studies at CNA, a research institute in Arlington, Va. “No matter what happens in the Donbas, the costs are likely to be so high that the Russian military will be a spent force.” While Russian forces are probing Ukrainian front lines and putting forces into position in the northern reaches of Donbas, the fight in the south — around the city of Mariupol — has turned into a full-blown siege, with the encircled Ukrainian defenders there barely holding out. Thousands of civilians have been wounded or killed in the monthlong battle, according to Ukrainian officials. Residents walked through damaged streets filled with debris in Mariupol on Monday.

He had sent a message to her daughter on Instagram. Russia-Ukraine War: Key Developments Card 1 of 4 A new phase of the war. Russia declared that its offensive for control over Ukraine’s industrial heartland was underway as it bombarded targets across the sprawling eastern front. Ukrainian officials said they were mounting a spirited defense. In Mariupol. About 2,000 people were trapped at a large steel factory in Mariupol along with Ukrainian forces that are waging what appears to be the last defense of the city. Russia is seeking to take the city as part of a strategically important “land bridge” to occupied Crimea. Possible banned weapons. Based on evidence reviewed by The Times, it is likely that Ukrainian troops used cluster munitions in an eastern village that they were attempting to retake from Russian forces. The weapons are banned by many countries for the harm they can cause to civilians. Russia’s economy. While President Vladimir V. Putin boasted that the Russian economy is holding up under Western sanctions, his central bank chief warned that the consequences were only beginning to be felt, and Moscow’s mayor said that 200,000 jobs are at risk in the capital alone. She paraphrased him: “I don’t have a way out. We have no other choice. We will most likely be in captivity.” Capturing Mariupol is a key part of the Russian campaign in Ukraine’s east. The city’s fall would allow Russia to complete a land bridge between Russian territory and occupied Crimea. It would also allow Russian forces to reconstitute and push north to Ukrainian positions around the city of Zaporizhzhia. This could enable them to put added pressure on Ukrainian troops from the north and the south, stressing supply lines and other resources. Tetiana Plysenko, 61, a resident of Huliaipole, one of the towns north of Mariupol that is on the front line, said little had changed in the last few days. The shelling continues unabated, though on Saturday there was an airstrike near the town — a rarity, another resident of the town said. “Some people,” Ms. Plysenko said, “have come back and tended their gardens recently.” Ukrainian forces have responded in kind to the Russian escalation, firing their own artillery — a mixture of howitzers, mortars and unguided rockets — to disrupt and delay any larger attack. But despite supplies and renewed commitments from the United States and other NATO countries, Ukrainian officials continue to voice deep concerns about their own supply of ammunition and whether it will be sufficient to keep the advancing Russian forces at bay. The Ukrainian military “repulsed seven enemy attacks, destroyed 10 tanks, 18 armored units and eight vehicles, one artillery system, and an enemy mortar,” the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense said in a statement on Tuesday. Those claims could not be independently verified. |

Read this on a group platform. It's witty and makes a lot of sense. As a man who understands the ups and downs of marital tie, i am sharing to encoutage all married men and women to continue to hold their grounds in marital fidelity and unity ![]() My wife and I had an issue this morning before we left for work. It was a small misunderstanding between me and her. We were both angry with each other. From my facial expression, my wife knew I was very prepared to keep malice with her that morning. She was also angry and didn't mind playing along. I stepped out of the house and she locked the doors and followed me behind. Since we don't have a car, we always board the same bus to work every morning and ensure we sit together- side by side on the bus. I was to drop at Manda hill and she was to drop at zesco. But today, I didn't want to sit close to her. So I sat at the back seat and she sat in front, just beside a good-looking Police officer. The man glanced at my wife. I saw the way he looked at her hair and face with so much admiration. Then he told her she looked beautiful. My wife smiled and told him thank you. He asked my wife where she was going and she told him she was heading to work. All this while, I was sitting behind and listening to their conversation. "My name is Mwansa Mweemba. I am a police officer as you can see from my uniform. I was just posted to Lusaka a month ago. Right now I am heading to my place of assignment." My wife nodded her head. When the conductor requested for my wife to pay her transport fare, the officer offered to pay. He pulled out a K50 and Said Two. My wife thanked him and smiled. Then the officer continued. "So I will be dropping soon at Munali I am accommodated at Chelston Police Camp. I don't know if you can drop by someday to say hello to me. Can I have your number?" I didn't waste any more time. I tapped my wife on her shoulders immediately. She turned. And then I asked her. "Hope you remembered to put a spoon inside Kasubas lunch box? You know you always forget." My wife was puzzled. She was probably wondering who Kasuba is, and why I had chosen to talk to her. Before she could ask any further questions I added. "Try to pick her up from school early today. I will be coming back home late. You can cook ifinkubala for me for dinner so that when I return I will eat something before bed." My wife was confused. Then she glanced at the police man and returned her gaze to me. She understood what I was trying to do. "Yes, honey." She nodded. The police man turned and saw me. He greeted me. Then he asked my wife. "Is that your husband?" My wife nodded. The police man glanced at me again and again. Then he glanced for the last time and smiled at me. I didn't smile back. When we got to the Chainama I dropped from the bus and dragged my wife along with me. My wife couldn't stop laughing. While we were about to board another bus, she asked me. "Honey, who is Kasuba?" "Kasuba is our future daughter. Jump on the bus let us go." My wife laughed. We boarded another bus to and this time, we sat together. Side by side in the bus. And this time I paid for her. When you give your partner distance, both emotionally and physically, you let the devil occupy that space. He takes your position without your permission and builds a home for himself in your place. Don't let the devil have a place in your home. Cover all grounds. Make your presence known. May God bless your marriage and relationship. =>Share to help marriages today. |

Xavierr:The point I am making is that no parents would give their female child opportunity to sleep alone with males in a room. Not possible. Now the school sent the kids with some sort of chaperones to Dubai, and this unfortunate thing happened. How could you blame the parents under this extenuating circumstance? Those chaperones and the school are to blame, period. 1 Like |

Are you working in this school or there is else you know beside that on the public domain? Look, as a parent, once you send your child off to school, the absolute duty to safekeep and protect the child rests with the school. The parents are not to blame in anyway here because the incident happened far away in Dubai while the child was in custody of the school or through its superintendents (here teachers or other school workers). For the girl in question, it bleeds my heart that you are even thinking of blaming her, a mere child of 10. What's wrong with you? The child is incapable of knowing the implications of her actions at this age. Please stop talking about subjectivity here. I am a parent whose child is at least 5/6 years older than that child. For over 13 years of schooling I pick my children up from school; I know what I am saying. 6 Likes 1 Share |
