EFCC dey give bed, DSS dey give food” is an instructive line from Darlington Okoye’s latest song, Baby Oil. Speed Darlington reminded not just Burna Boy but every important personality in society: for your sake, don’t fight a man with nothing to lose
Notorious people will not only stain your white, but any ill-treatment you dish out to them will always be interpreted as oppression. Burna Boy may not have fully grasped the full-length Speed Darlington could go.
For Akpi, everybody is fair game and can collect if need be, from Aunty Chinasa, who is always looking for his trouble, to his Umunna, who removed his signboard when he was looking for a wife. Then he called out his mum when she advised him about connecting with his roots and then dragged himself for building a 12-bedroom mansion in the village that he didn’t need, simply because he wanted to secure the land.
A provocateur leaves no stone unturned when he tarnishes anybody’s image, which is why you should avoid one if you have a lot to lose. You don’t have to ignore it if it is hard, but don’t let anything publicly link back to you.
I listen to Burna Boy songs these days, and all I can think about is Akpi. I know this is just temporary, and when the buzz passes, my brain won’t link both.
If you are on top, don’t fight a man with nothing to lose. If that man is notorious with public following, have a good exit strategy that doesn’t involve you.
Till we get to the Promised Land, I shall be waiting for when you will pass me a glass of water and thank God for the gift of grace for the race.
As the holiday season approaches, many of us look forward to celebrations, gatherings, and creating new memories. But for ladies especially, it’s also a time to be extra cautious, as this festive period often sees an increase in blackmail tactics. While it might seem unlikely, social events and more online interactions can make us vulnerable to people who don’t have the best intentions. Here’s how to protect yourself from falling into such situations and keep your holiday season free from worry.
In a world where sharing photos and videos is second nature, it’s important to pause and think before capturing or sending anything too personal. Remember, even a trusted friend or partner may inadvertently or otherwise misuse these images, potentially leaving you exposed to blackmail. To avoid this risk, focus on capturing joyful moments in safe, public settings, and avoid sending sensitive photos, even to people you trust.
Social media can also become a risky platform if not used carefully, so start by adjusting your privacy settings. Make sure you control who can see your posts, stories, and personal moments. Oversharing, especially about your location, plans, or social circles, can put you at risk. Limiting who has access to this information helps prevent strangers from obtaining details that could be used to manipulate or threaten you.
During the holidays, it’s common to receive more messages and friend requests from people you may not know well. However, avoid letting your guard down. Blackmailers often try to build trust through casual conversations before they reveal their true intentions. If someone new begins asking personal or intrusive questions, don’t hesitate to cut off communication by blocking or reporting them. Trust your instincts; if a conversation feels uncomfortable, it’s better to be safe.
If you ever find yourself in a situation that feels concerning, remember that keeping it secret only benefits the blackmailer. Reach out to someone you trust—a friend, family member, or mentor—and let them know what’s happening. This can help break the hold that blackmailers often rely on, which is the belief that you have no support. By talking about it, you build a network of people who can help you navigate the situation and support you if anything escalates.
Ultimately, staying safe is about staying alert and using simple steps to protect yourself and your privacy. This holiday season, make sure you enjoy the celebrations without letting your guard down. These precautions can help you make this December a time of joy and peace, not worry and stress. Stay safe, stay mindful, and have a wonderful, worry-free holiday season.

I Risked My Life for Him, and He Left Me for Another Woman, Victor is a very wicked man and i will keep cursing him
I met Victor when I was in my early twenties, just a young woman trying to find my place in the world. He was older, successful, charming, and at first, he seemed like everything I had been looking for. He had this air of confidence about him, a certain power and control that drew me in. I remember the first time we spoke, it felt like he saw something in me that no one else did. He was different — or so I thought.
At the time, I was working a regular job, just trying to make ends meet. Victor, on the other hand, had money. A lot of it. And I couldn’t help but feel that he would take me away from my struggles, give me the life I dreamed of. And that’s how it started — with promises, sweet words, and moments of tenderness.
But as our relationship grew, things started to change. Victor became more controlling, more demanding. He wanted me all to himself, and I allowed it because I believed in him, I believed in us. He was everything to me. Over time, I became so wrapped up in him that I stopped thinking about my own needs and dreams. It was all about pleasing him, making him happy. I thought, If I give him my all, he’ll give me the same in return.
We started talking about marriage. He told me I was the one, that I would be the mother of his children, that I was everything he wanted. I felt like the luckiest woman alive. But soon, our relationship became complicated.
Victor had a temper. When things didn’t go his way, he became cruel, dismissive. He would tell me I wasn’t good enough or that I wasn’t trying hard enough to keep him happy. Despite these red flags, I told myself it was just a phase. I thought, If I just tried harder, I could make him happy. But what happened next was something I could never have anticipated.
I found myself pregnant — not once, but three times. And every single time, Victor pressured me into getting an abortion. He said we weren’t ready for kids, that it would ruin our future, that it wasn’t the right time. I didn’t want to, but I did it. For him. I sacrificed my body, my health, my future, because I thought I was helping him. I believed that once the time was right, things would be better.
After the third abortion, I felt broken. Physically, emotionally, mentally. But I pushed through because I thought it would be worth it in the end. I thought that if I just gave him everything — my love, my loyalty, my body — that eventually, he would see how much I had sacrificed for him. I believed that he would be there for me, that he would appreciate everything I had done for him.
But I was wrong.
Not long after, I started to notice a change in Victor. He became distant, cold. He stopped calling as often. His excuses for not spending time with me became more frequent, and eventually, I found out the truth — he was seeing someone else. He had fallen in love with another woman, and he had been planning to leave me for her.
When I confronted him, he didn’t deny it. He didn’t even apologize. He told me that he had “moved on” and that he couldn’t be with me anymore. He said he needed someone “more exciting,” someone “who understood him better.” I couldn’t believe it. After everything I had done for him — all the sacrifices, all the pain — he was throwing it all away for someone else.
The betrayal was devastating. I had given him everything. I had given him my love, my trust, and even my body. And he walked away without a second thought. He chose her over me.
I was left alone, heartbroken, with nothing but the memories of all the things I had done for him. The three abortions, the years of loyalty, the countless nights I spent thinking of him — all for nothing. I had risked my life and my future for a man who never truly cared about me.
Victor married the other woman, and to this day, I still don’t know if I’ll ever heal from the betrayal. It hurts to think that someone I loved so deeply could throw me away so easily. But I’ve learned that no matter how much you give, no matter how much you sacrifice, you can never force someone to love you. You can never make them appreciate you

I Gave Her Everything But She Destroyed Me in the Worst Way Possible I’m Emeka, and this is the story of how I gave everything to a woman who I thought was my future, my everything only to have her destroy me, leaving me with nothing but heartbreak and regret.
I never thought my life would end up like this. I’m Emeka, and this is the story of how I gave everything to a woman who I thought was my future, my everything — only to have her destroy me, leaving me with nothing but heartbreak and regret.
I met Joy when I was just starting to build my career. She was beautiful, humble, and came from a poor background, just like I did. At the time, I was struggling to get by, working long hours at a low-paying job, and life wasn’t kind to me. But I believed in love. I believed that if I worked hard enough, I could give her the life she deserved. I wanted to be her hero. I wanted to prove that, even though we came from nothing, we could have everything.
I didn’t just fall in love with Joy — I built her. I sacrificed everything I had, even my own dreams, to make sure she had a chance at something better. I paid for her education, put her through university, and supported her every step of the way. I gave up my friends, my family, even my own happiness, just to make sure she was comfortable, just to make sure she didn’t have to struggle the way I did.
But here’s the part I didn’t see coming — I was so blinded by love that I ignored the warning signs. While I was working hard to build our future, she started changing. She started spending more time with her friends, and I began to feel like I was being pushed aside. But I told myself, She’s just stressed from school, I’ll be there for her. I’ll support her. I was wrong.
When she finally graduated, I thought it was time for us to finally settle down. I had worked so hard to make her dreams a reality, but she had a different plan in mind. After graduation, I asked her to marry me — but she kept postponing the wedding, telling me she needed “space” to figure things out. I thought maybe I was being too pushy, so I gave her time, but I started noticing more red flags.
I came home one night to find her in the arms of another man. I was devastated, crushed. But instead of walking away, I begged her to explain. She said it was a mistake — that she didn’t love him, that it was just a one-time thing. I was a fool to believe her. I forgave her. I gave her another chance. But deep down, I knew something had changed. Something I couldn’t fix.
I kept on loving her, pouring all my energy into making things right again. But then, everything came crashing down. I found out, through a mutual friend, that she was seeing him again — behind my back. And it wasn’t just an affair anymore. She was planning a life with him, a future that didn’t include me. She had already started making arrangements to leave me, to move in with him, to start a new life.
But the real shock came when I learned that she was pregnant with his child.
The woman I had sacrificed everything for, the woman I had trusted with my heart and my future, had betrayed me in the most unforgivable way. She was carrying another man’s child, and she had been planning her escape from me for months.
When I confronted her about the pregnancy, she was cold. She didn’t cry. She didn’t beg for forgiveness. She didn’t even apologize. She just told me that she had made up her mind and that I wasn’t the man she wanted anymore. She had already moved on.
The heartbreak was unbearable. I felt like my whole world had collapsed. Every penny I’d spent on her education, every sleepless night I’d spent worrying about her well-being, every sacrifice I’d made, was all for nothing. She walked away from me, from everything we built, without a second thought.
Now, I’m left here, alone, heartbroken, and empty. I thought I was doing the right thing by investing in her, by believing in us. But now I realize that I was just a fool. I gave her everything, and she gave me nothing in return except lies and betrayal.
Joy may have walked away, but the pain she left behind will stay with me forever. I don’t know how to move on from this. I don’t know how to heal from the betrayal of the woman I loved.
