STRANGE , ODD AND WEIRD NEWS

When someone ignores you, it can be hurtful and confusing. But before you react, it's important to take a step back and ask yourself if their behavior is intentional.  Are they deliberately ignoring you, or are they simply busy or preoccupied with other things?

The idea behind this approach is to make them wonder why you're not bothered by their actions.  They may be trying to play with your emotions or manipulate you emotionally, but if they see that you're not reaching out to them, not responding to their messages or calls, and simply going about your life as if they don't exist, their tactic of ignoring you will likely backfire.  Think of it like this: remember how when you're desperately in need of a taxi, none seem to

“Men, your thoughts shape your life. What you dwell on determines your purpose, your relationships, and the legacy you’ll leave behind.” “Your career should be more than a job.

In life, we often chase after big, life-changing moments, thinking that success is defined by monumental achievements. But what if the real magic lies in the small, consistent efforts we make every day? It’s the little things that, when repeated over time, create a ripple effect and lead to lasting change.

These victories may seem small, but they are the building blocks of greatness. Imagine a drop of water falling into a glass. At first, it seems insignificant, but over time, those drops fill the glass completely. That’s how life works. The small steps you take every day are filling up your life with progress, whether you notice it or not. Start celebrating those small wins: Made your bed this morning? That’s a win.

Why burden your mind with grudges? Why allow hatred to take root and grow within your heart? Holding onto bitterness poisons not only your spirit but also the future of those who follow in your footsteps. You may pretend to love, but how can you truly embrace others while harboring ill will in secret? Are you playing the role of the divine, the Alpha and Omega? Do you seek to claim the seat of the Creator—the one who holds the power of life and death? Reflect deeply: who are you to carry unforgiveness when no offense has even been committed against you? Why walk the path of darkness, rejecting the way of God, the one who calls you to a life of peace and reconciliation? This life of hatred and revenge is not your destiny—it is a choice, and it will lead to sorrow, not only for you but for your descendants. Remember, every soul shall taste death. Every soul shall account for their actions. Are you prepared for that day? Do not let a hardened heart destroy the life and legacy

It’s not about how glamorous the business appears; what truly matters is what it brings to the table.

The Coalition of Niger Delta Agitators has revoked the ceasefire it declared years ago, launching what it now calls "Operation Hunger Lion" in response to the current economic hardships facing Nigerians, particularly those in the Niger Delta. This decision was announced in a statement released on Saturday following an emergency meeting where the coalition reviewed the state of the nation, with a focus on the challenges facing Nigerians, especially the Niger Delta region. According to the statement obtained by SaharaReporters , the coalition is demanding that the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mele Kyari, and his team be investigated and held accountable for the missing N164 billion, with a call for their immediate dismissal.

This is a strong message to every Nigerian and Africans at large about improving the Nigerian economy and addressing issues like border control and food prices. The speaker's perspective seems to resonate with all, even if he might not have the formal credentials of a professor or Ph.D. holder. The points he mention—such as the closure of borders and government investment in food production—are significant. Border closure can indeed help protect local industries and reduce reliance on imports, potentially leading to more self-sufficiency. However, for such a policy to succeed, it must be coupled with measures to support local farmers and prevent monopolies, which can drive up prices. State governments investing directly in food crops could help stabilize food supply and control prices, ensuring that the benefits of border closures reach the broader population.  Additionally, federal government involvement in price regulation could prevent exploitation and ensure that essential good

Armadillos are some of the most unique and fascinating creatures in the animal kingdom. With their distinctive armor-like shells and peculiar habits, these small mammals have captured the curiosity of humans for centuries. Native to the Americas, armadillos are often referred to as "nature's little tanks" because of their tough, protective exterior. But there's much more to these creatures than just their shells. Let's dive into the world of armadillos and explore what makes them so special. A Natural Suit of Armor The most recognizable feature of an armadillo is its shell, which is made up of bony plates covered in a layer of keratin, the same material that makes up human hair and nails. This armor protects them from predators, allowing them to roll into a ball or simply hunker down when threatened. While not all armadillo species can roll into a complete ball, the three-banded armadillo is particularly famous for this ability, making it nearly impenetrable to pr

Here are a few points to consider: Cultural Context 1. Traditional Practices: In many African societies, polygamy has deep historical roots and is tied to cultural practices and social structures. It often symbolizes status, wealth, and social cohesion within communities. 2. Lineage and Legacy: Polygamy can ensure a larger number of offspring, which is seen as a way to continue family lineage and ensure greater labor resources for agricultural and other traditional economies.   Economic Considerations 1. Resource Distribution: While financial stability can support polygamous arrangements, economic constraints can also make it challenging for some men to support multiple families. Thus, economic capability often determines whether a man can engage in polygamy. 2. Dowries and Bride Price: The practice of paying a dow

By OLA AJAYI, IBADAN Is it possible for a mother not to recognize her biological child? Or what would make a grown up child not to recognize his mother again? SOKA-1This was the scenario on Thursday at the Adeoyo State Hospital in Ibadan where scores of people were trying to catch a glimpse of survivors who were rescued from the throes of death they were subjected to by suspected kidnappers at Soka in Ibadan. Several parents especially women could only use photographs to identify their wards. Years of separation have erased some of the signs they could use to identify their wards. Mrs. Sufianat Ola was not sure if the skeletal figure in front of her was her son. She sobbed uncontrollably, trying to hold her son and embrace him but the mosquito net and the burglary proof blocked her. Surprisingly, her son, Adewale Ola could still remember his sister. With his thin and barely audible voice, he said, “my sister”. Tears freely flowed. It wasn’t long before the weeping became contagio
