In 2018, Nigeria was shaken by one of the most heartbreaking stories of child abuse ever told — the story of Elizabeth (Ochanya) Ogbanje, a 13-year-old girl from Benue State whose life was cut short after years of sexual abuse. Even seven years later, her name still echoes in every conversation about justice for children in Nigeria.
So apparently, Nigeria just got a fresh set of service chiefs, and these guys are already making bold promises to “rejig” the entire security setup of the country. 👀 Lt. General Olufemi Oluyede and his team pulled up before the House of Reps like, “Give us a few months, and we’ll make Nigerians feel safe again.”
So, Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) Olisa Agbakoba decided to shake some tables this week — and not the small ones o. The man said Nigeria is literally facing an existential threat if we don’t restructure ASAP. In his words, the way power is concentrated at the center is “unsustainable and dangerously weak.” 👀
The internet’s been buzzing lately about a massive data leak involving 183 million email addresses and passwords, with Gmail users caught in the mix. Headlines sound scary, but let’s break it down without the chaos. If you’ve seen posts saying “Gmail got hacked,” that’s not exactly true. What really happened is part of a much bigger story about password reuse, malware, and online habits that most of us are guilty of.
Sometimes, one story hits so deep that it forces everyone to stop scrolling, breathe, and really feel. That’s exactly what the story of Elizabeth Ochanya did — and honestly, it still hurts to even talk about it.
Big W for Nigeria this week, after years of being on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list, we’ve finally been delisted. In case you’re wondering why that matters — being on that list basically means “the global community no too trust your money matters.” Like saying, “we’re watching you,” because of issues with corruption, money laundering, and shady financial flows.
Nigeria no dey ever dull. Every new sunrise comes with fresh amazing events — from politics to music to social media brouhaha. So, let’s run through what’s trending right now in the country,
Omooo, Aliko Dangote don officially enter billionaire hall of fame on a whole new level! Man just hit $30 billion net worth, making him the first African to ever do it. Talk about “rich but make it generational!”
In 2018, Nigeria lost Elizabeth Ochanya Ogbanje, a 13-year-old schoolgirl from Benue State whose only dream was to get an education. Instead, she became the face of one of Nigeria’s most painful cases of child sexual abuse. Living with her aunt and uncle ,a lecturer at Benue State Polytechnic, Ugbokolo , was supposed to give her better schooling. But behind those walls, she faced years of sexual assault allegedly from the lecturer, Andrew Ogbuja, and his son, Victor. The abuse left her with vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) , a condition rare in children , and led to her death on October 17, 2018. Now, years later, her name is trending again, as Nigerians revisit her story and the justice that still feels unfinished.

Omo, e don choke for court this week o! The leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, showed everyone that when life throws you curveballs, sometimes you just gats lawyer yourself. Yep — man literally stood up to defend himself in court after his lead counsel withdrew from the case.
