Earlier today, a clip surfaced online showing French President, Emmanuel Macron being pushed on the cheek by his wife, Brigitte Macron. What should have sparked outrage, concern, and deep conversations around domestic violence was instead reduced to meme fodder and crude jokes. The reaction has been as swift as it has been disturbing: mockery, laughter, judgment, and the ever familiar chorus of “That’s what he gets for marrying his teacher.”

And just like that, a moment that should have highlighted a very real issue, domestic violence against men, was drowned in ridicule. No hashtags. No public outcry. No feminist organizations stepping forward. No nonprofit issuing a statement. Just silence. Deafening silence.

Abuse is abuse, regardless of the gender of the perpetrator or the victim. If the roles were reversed, if President Macron had slapped or pushed Brigitte Macron, there would be protests. There would be hashtags. There would be fire and fury from advocacy groups. The world would come to a standstill demanding ability and protection for women, and rightly so. But when it is a man, a world leader no less, experiencing what can only be described as a moment of public humiliation and physical aggression, the same voices fall silent.

Why? Because society has normalized the idea that men are too strong to be victims. That their pain is comical. That their abuse is somehow deserved. And so, they suffer not just in silence but in isolation and shame.

President Macron has long been the subject of public scrutiny because of his marriage. This age gap, had the roles been reversed, would be celebrated as empowerment or love defying the odds. But for him, it is used as a weapon to justify abuse. And now,...

The recent attack on 25-year-old Nigerian influencer, Enioluwa Adeoluwa, for crying at his best friend, Priscilla’sPriscilla’s wedding is more than an internet scandal. It is an indictment of our collective failure to raise emotionally healthy men.

Enioluwa, in a raw, beautiful, and deeply human moment, shed tears as he celebrated a life milestone with someone he loves platonically. But instead of comion, he was met with venom. The internet erupted with disturbing comments from Nigerian men, the very people who should understand the weight of unspoken emotions.

“Men used to fight lions and tigers but little boys have to watch Enioluwa shed tears like a woman on her period.”

“Enioluwa is such a terrible role model for younger men.”

“When I have a male child, when he turns 10 years old I go first break five bottles for his head make he know say men mount.”

“I go wear crown of thorns make he know say life no be bed of roses.”

“See simp behavior. You dey cry because woman marry? Na wa for you.”

“He must have been sleeping with her. Why else would a man cry that much?”

These cruel commentary is not just about Enioluwa. It is about every boy who has been told that his tears are unacceptable. It is about every man who has been shamed for showing emotion. It is about a culture that would rather raise broken, hardened men than whole, healthy ones.

There is nothing wrong with a man crying. There is nothing wrong with a man expressing deep affection for a friend. There is nothing wrong with a man being emotionally present in a moment of transition, joy, or loss. What is wrong is the fact that our society punishes softness, ridicules empathy, and weaponizes masculinity.

Boys in Nigeria and many parts of the world are taught from an early age that...

I know you think your favorite actor, Bolanle Ninalowo, sent you a direct message or followed you on TikTok. Don’t be deceived, that’s not who you think it is. He is not on TikTok!

Impersonation is not a new phenomenon. Arguably, the earliest recorded case was Jacob impersonating Esau, a fraudulent act that affected many generations. And it didn’t stop there. The advent of the internet created even more avenues for deception, with the rise of social media exacerbating the problem.

TikTok scams involving impersonation have been going on for a while, with the latest victim being popular Nollywood actor Bolanle Ninalowo, also known as Nino B.

Despite not having a TikTok , over 100 s have been impersonating Bolanle even as early as 2022.

Marriage ceremonies are a beautiful celebration of love and commitment, and for many, a church wedding is the pinnacle of this celebration.

Imagine father proudly walking his daughter down the aisle as she s hands with her partner, ready to say their vows before God and loved ones. It’s a moment of joy and solemnity and a beginning of an happy ever after—until the government steps in and declares your marriage invalid.

Yes, this can happen. If your church is not licensed to issue marriage certificates, your wedding may not be legally recognized in Nigeria. Here’s everything you need to know to ensure your marriage is both heavenly and lawful.

What Makes a Church Wedding Legal?

In Nigeria, for a marriage conducted in a church to be legally binding, the church must be licensed to issue marriage certificates. This licensing is governed by the Marriage Act, CAP M6, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria (2006).

The Federal Ministry of Interior oversees the licensing process through its eCITIBIZ portal, a platform designed to streamline the registration and licensing of places of worship. Without this license, the marriage conducted by a church is not valid under Nigerian law, meaning couples may unknowingly remain unmarried in the eyes of the state.

Licensing and Renewal Process

Churches that wish to conduct legal marriages must apply for a license through the eCITIBIZ portal. Here’s how it works:

1. Initial Licensing: After a successful application and payment, the Ministry of Interior issues a license certificate valid for five years.

Just yesterday, Bloomberg, perhaps the leading business-focused media on Earth, reported that the world’s largest meat producer, JBS SA, is investing $2.5 billion in Nigeria. Please see

This news, coming at the time it did, stands in sharp contrast to the claim by a Nigerian entertainer that Nigeria’s ‘economy is in shambles’.

The good news from Bloomberg is a pointer to the fact that pundits should be factual rather than emotional when talking about the economy. So I decided to help equip patriotic Nigerians with facts to show that their economy is headed in the right direction.

One: At 35%, Nigeria currently has the highest return on investment (ROI) worldwide, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit published by The Economist Magazine.

Breaking off a relationship can be incredibly painful, often leaving you feeling like a part of you is missing.

What many people don’t realize is that the overwhelming emotions you experience after a breakup aren’t just in your head—they’re rooted in biology. This phenomenon, often referred to as relationship withdrawal syndrome, explains why love and loss can feel so devastating.

What is Relationship Withdrawal Syndrome 

Have you ever been heartbroken and felt like you were literally falling apart? Maybe you couldn’t sleep, your appetite disappeared, or you kept checking your ex’s social media, hoping for some kind of sign. That’s relationship withdrawal syndrome.

It happens because love—especially in romantic relationships—acts like a drug. When you’re in love, your brain releases feel-good chemicals like dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin. These chemicals make you feel happy, safe, and...

First dates can be exciting and nerve-wracking. Whether you're meeting for amala at a local buka or sharing a candlelit dinner in an upscale restaurant, the stakes are high—you want to impress, but you also want to be yourself.

However, there are certain behaviors that can ruin the vibe faster than a failed bank transfer. Here’s a detailed guide on what to avoid on your first date.

1. Don’t Fall for “African Time” 

In Nigeria, being late is often joked about as “African Time,” but let’s be real—it’s not a good look. Showing up late without any explanation screams disrespect, especially if your date arrived on time. Whether it's Lagos traffic, a fuel queue, or an unexpected rainstorm, plan ahead to be punctual. If something unavoidable comes up, call ahead to explain. It’s all about courtesy.

2. Don’t Turn the Date into a Therapy Session

Nobody came on a first date to listen to stories about your ex who “ate your money and ghosted you” or how your extended family drama is stressing you out. Oversharing too soon can make your date feel overwhelmed. Instead, keep the gist light and positive. Save the heavy stuff for when you’re more comfortable with each other.

British-Nigerian, Kemi Badenoch, a trailblazer in British politics, has become a key figure in the United Kingdom's immigration fight.

As the newly elected leader of the Conservative Party, Badenoch’s ascent to power not only makes her the first Black woman to lead a major political party in the UK but also places her at the forefront of efforts to overhaul the country’s immigration system.

However, her tough stance on migration has sparked widespread discussion, particularly among African communities who view her policies with a mix of concern and scrutiny.

A Historic Victory and a Daunting Challenge  

On November 2, 2024, Badenoch succeeded Rishi Sunak as the leader of the Conservative Party after defeating Robert Jenrick in the final round of voting, garnering 53,806 votes to Jenrick’s 41,388.

Her victory came at a tumultuous time for the party, which had just suffered its worst electoral defeat in history. As the new leader of the opposition, Badenoch faces the dual challenge of rebuilding the party’s image and addressing contentious national issues, with immigration taking centre stage.

Tougher Immigration Policies

In a speech at Westminster, on Wednesday, 27th November, Badenoch outlined her vision for immigration reform, pledging to enforce stricter controls to manage the influx of migrants into the UK.

Renowned pastor, author, and filmmaker Bishop Thomas Dexter Jakes popularly known as T. D. Jakes experienced a health scare during a sermon at The Potter’s House in Dallas, Texas, on Sunday.

The incident occurred as Jakes, 67, concluded his message with a prayer, visibly struggling before church officials intervened to prevent a collapse.

In a statement shared on Twitter, The Potter’s House confirmed that Jakes received immediate medical attention and is now in stable condition. “The entire Potter’s House family is grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers, and from the community. Thank you for your understanding and continued prayers,” church stated.

The cause of the health scare was not disclosed, but it comes as Jakes faces renewed scrutiny linked to a lawsuit involving music producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones and Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Allegations and Controversy

The lawsuit, filed by Jones, claims that Combs attempted to use his relationship with Bishop Jakes to mitigate the fallout from a separate lawsuit filed by Cassie Ventura against the music mogul. According to Jones, he has “irrefutable evidence” of Combs detailing his plans to leverage Jakes' influence to protect his public image.

Although Jakes is not named as a defendant in the suit, his name has been drawn into public discussions. Adding to the controversy are unverified social media reports from December 2023 alleging that he participated in sex parties hosted by Combs.

Persons with disabilities (PWDs) remain one of the most marginalised groups in society, despite involvement and fairness being benchmarks of an advanced society. Governments have a responsibility to ensure these individuals are catered for and empowered to lead fulfilling lives.




Historically, PWDs have faced systemic neglect, with public and private infrastructures remaining largely inaccessible. This lack of inclusivity denies them the ability to participate in everyday activities such as education, employment, and social events. Despite technological advancements, the barriers persist, calling for urgent government intervention. Providing financial to organisations for the adoption of inclusive infrastructure must be treated as a priority.

Being in a relationship is exciting, but it comes with its share of challenges. Regardless of your background, certain truths remain universal for every man.

From managing expectations to building trust and communication, understanding these realities can help you create a stronger and more fulfilling connection.

Here are seven relationship realities every man should know to have a good love life:

1. Love Alone is not Enough 

While love is foundational in any relationship, it isn't the sole ingredient for success. A man must realize that love needs to be ed by effort, understanding, and a clear vision for the future. It’s not just about saying “I love you” but showing it through actions, like ing her dreams or being present when she needs you.

2. Communication Can Make or Break Your Bond

In many households, men are raised to be strong and silent, which sometimes spills into relationships. However, no matter how tough you are, effective communication is non-negotiable. Whether it's discussing financial challenges or setting boundaries with extended family , being open and honest will strengthen your relationship. , “she cannot read your mind.”

3. Her Friends and Family are Part of the Package

The talking stage is that awkward yet exciting period where you and your potential boo are figuring out if you vibe well enough to take things to the next level.

It's a time to learn, connect, and build a foundation. But just as it’s a time for making a good impression, it’s also easy to mess things up if you're not careful.

Here are 10 things you definitely shouldn’t do during the talking stage, especially if you want to avoid hearing “It’s not you, it’s me” on WhatsApp one random evening.

1. Don’t Overdo the Pet Names  

Calling someone “baby,” “honey,” or “my love” too soon can feel forced and cringy. If you just met last week, they’re not your “king” or “queen” yet—relax. People value authenticity, so don’t rush into the emotional lane before you've built some trust.

2. Don’t Ask “What Are We?” Too Early

This question has broken more relationships than village witches. Asking too soon puts unnecessary pressure on the other person. The talking stage is meant to be a time to get to know each other, not to define a relationship that hasn’t even started.

Referred to as the Ali Baba of online comedy, Chidiebere Mark Angel, popularly known as Mark Angel, has become a household name, blazing trails and amassing significant wealth from content creation at a time when many underestimated the potential of the digital space.

A decade ago, he could never have imagined how his determination and talent would elevate him to global fame, with foreigners idolising his work. But as the saying goes, "God writes the best stories." Here’s Mark Angel’s inspiring grass-to-grace journey.

Born without a silver spoon 

Born May 27, 1991 in Port Harcourt, Mark Angel was on the path to becoming a medical doctor. He gained ission to Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, to study Medicine and Surgery. However, the death of his uncle, who was sponsoring his education, forced him to abandon this dream.

This tragedy prompted a shift in career paths. Mark travelled to India, where he studied cinematography for six months. Upon returning to Nigeria, he entered the Nollywood industry as a cinematographer. To his meagre earnings, he took on freelance jobs in photography, videography, editing, and visual effects.

Initially, he considered transitioning to acting, hoping it would bring better pay. However, an executive producer dismissed him, which led him to discover the untapped potential in family-friendly content. This realisation was the turning point in his career.

Reflecting on his early struggles, Mark Angel said in an interview, "I worked and worked and worked and was getting peanuts. Then I decided I was going to do this on my own," describing how he once earned just ₦10,000 after two weeks of work.

November 19, marks the International Men’s Day (IMD), a day dedicated to highlighting the positive values men bring to families, communities, and the world.

The theme for 2024, “Positive Male Role Models,” encourages men to teach the boys in their lives the values, character and responsibilities of being a man in order to create a fair and safe society that allows everyone the opportunity to prosper.

Why Positive Role Models Matter  

Imagine a young boy growing up surrounded by vices and wrong values, without anyone to serve as a positive guide. It is likely that he will view these negative behaviours as normal and continue on that path as he matures into adulthood, influencing others along the way. This highlights the critical need for positive role models, whose presence or absence can have a trans-generational impact.

The ebony beauty, born to a Nigerian father and Mozambican mother but raised in South Africa, was forced to withdraw from the race after being accused of identity fraud. Critics claimed she was ineligible to represent South Africa.

Amid the rising trolls, young Adetshina withdrew from the competition. Shortly after, she was invited to Nigeria's Miss Universe contest, where she emerged as the winner.

Adetshina went on to represent Nigeria on the global stage at the 73rd Miss Universe held in Mexico, finishing as the first runner-up. Her story is an inspiration, showing that one's dreams can be achieved despite adversity.

“I'm enduring all this for love's sake,” Ada told her friends after discovering her boyfriend was cheating for the second time. But how much can love truly endure?

For many people, forgiving a cheating partner is often seen as a badge of honour. We are told to “fight for our relationship” or “stay for the kids,” but at what cost? Forgiving a cheat isn’t as simple as pretending the betrayal didn’t happen. It’s an emotional and mental battle that often leaves the victim scarred and questioning their worth. Here's why you should not forgive a cheating partner:

Trust Once Broken is Hard to Repair  

Cheating breaks trust, the very foundation of any relationship. When someone cheats, they shatter the bond of loyalty and honesty. Rebuilding that trust is like trying to mend a cracked pot with tape — it may hold for a while, but the damage is evident. Do you really want to live your life constantly wondering if your partner is lying about their late meetings or "just a friend" texts?

Jide finally popped the question, and now you’re preparing to walk down the aisle. But let’s be honest—what is a wedding if it’s not BellaNaija standard?

Nkechi, I get it. You are already practicing the "off the market" wedding hit with your girls. You don’t want to skip any of the now-four marriage stages—introduction, traditional wedding, court wedding, and church wedding. Oh, and let’s not forget the grand thanksgiving that must “give” what it’s supposed to give.

You’re excited, and rightly so! You’ve probably started listing everything—catering, venue, traditional attire, wedding dresses, decorations, and, of course, that infamous aso ebi. Then there’s the sea of family, friends, and even the “friends of family” you’ve never met.

Black Friday is on and shoppers in Nigeria are taking advantage of what has become the year’s biggest sales frenzy.

From smartphones to fashion items, the promise of jaw-dropping discounts can send anyone rushing to fill their cart. However, don’t fall victim to the dreaded “what I ordered vs. what I got” experience or, worse still, lose your money to scams.‎ Here's how you can avoid getting scammed this season:

1. Shop from Trusted Stores

Stick to well-known and reputable retailers, whether online or in-person. Popular e-commerce platforms like Jumia, Konga, or physical stores you’ve visited before are safer bets. If you’re tempted by an unfamiliar store, do a quick check for online reviews or ask for recommendations from friends.

2. Question “Unbelievable” Discounts
