Society loves to measure a woman’s worth by her marriage or children. No matter how much you achieve in your career, they still ask, “When will you settle?” or “When will you have a child?”

I know what it feels like to face criticism and negativity while keeping such a personal journey private. When I welcomed my first child, Yakira Eliana, at 40, it was a moment of gratitude, not pressure. I did not settle. I waited. And it happened — not when I wanted it, but when God’s timing was perfect.

To every woman feeling rushed or judged: you are not running out of time. True joy comes from trusting your journey, not conforming to what others say should define your fulfilment. Block out the negativity, celebrate yourself at every stage, and hold on to hope. Delay is not denial.— T**e Makinwa.

My prayer for every woman reading this is simple: trust the process, embrace your timing, and believe that your moment will come — perfectly, in God’s time....Amen.

In 2020, a young Nigerian fashion designer living in the USA named Izuchukwu Madubueze took his own life with a gun to his head after being acused of r**e by a young lady he had never met in person before.
A woman named Adama Saber (Nani Chianise) publicly accused him of sexual harassment on social media, specifically on Twitter, all because she expressed emtional interests in him but he didnt feel the same way. And so, because of this very serious accusation, many people online were very angry at Izuchukwu. He was dragged, insulted, he even got fired from his job and was publicly disgraced, facing a lot of public shame and hatred from thousands of people who believed the story without seeing any proof. He eventually gave his own side of the story and tweeted about ending his life, which he eventually did with gun.

Few days later, the accuser admitted that she had lied. That she meant non-physical sexual harassment, clarifying he didnt r**e her or even touch her. She posted a public apology, saying she made up the entire r**e story. She explained that she was angry with Izuchukwu after a personal argument and wanted to get back at him.

Her false claims ruined his reputation, caused him immense pain and drove him to k!ll himself.
Izuchukwu's name was finally cleared, but his life was over. While the young lady was widely shamed online and lost her own job, she did not face any known legal punishment or jail time for the false accusation. She is living happily ever after.

It’s important to distance yourself from toxic people, insecure partners, and anyone who displays overdemanding or obsessive behavior. Protecting your life and your peace should always be a priority.

The truth is, no amount of therapy sessions, advice, or sacrifices will change someone who refuses to acknowledge their flaws or work on themselves. You cannot heal people who are committed to holding on to their dysfunction.

The best gift you can give yourself is the courage to walk away and create space for healthy, loving, and supportive relationships before is too late .. "— Actress Mimi Orjiekwe

Moral lesson- You can't never change Asháwô to an housewife.

My Opinion

Well-trained children are guided to behave with love and respect, even when playing with others. My children, for instance, have been taught never to react physically, no matter how upset they may feel. Instead, they are to report to a responsible adult. This is what true training instills — discipline and self-control.

The saying “children must be children” should never be used as an excuse for indiscipline or bullying. Properly trained children do not bully others, especially a child who is physically challenged. In fact, such a child deserves even greater protection and kindness from peers.

Unfortunately, when some children act out — hiding after misbehaving or running to lock themselves up — it reflects the kind of training they are receiving at home. What happens when their parents are not around? They will eventually face accountability, because they cannot hide forever. Meanwhile, the well-trained child who is not a bully will one day be recognized and rewarded for good conduct.

Parents who dismiss bad behavior under the guise of “children will be children” should remember: one day, these children will grow up and face the law on their own. If parents fail in discipline, the law will not.

In truth, the parent who stepped in to discipline those children only did what their own parents failed to do — after all, “spare the rod and spoil the child.” If I were the mother returning to such a situation, I would thank my neighbor for watching over my child and instruct my children to apologize.

Discipline is love, and training children well today is preparing them to thrive tomorrow.

“I Lost a $260,000 Job Just Because I’m Nigerian”

Today, I want to share something deeply painful from my professional journey.

Just last month, I signed a contract for a Chief Technology Officer role — a position worth over $260,000 per year, including bonuses. It felt like the breakthrough I had been working tirelessly toward after years of pushing through challenges in the global tech space.

But that dream was short-lived. Out of nowhere, I received a termination email. The company told me they could no longer proceed with me because of compliance regulations. In simple terms: they could not work with Nigerian nationals.

Reading those words broke me. I was blindsided. No warning, no prior indication — just a message that everything I had hoped for was gone.

Sadly, this isn’t the first time. This year alone, I’ve lost multiple international opportunities simply because of my nationality. It’s become so frequent that I’ve lost count. Each rejection leaves me frustrated, drained, and questioning whether my hard work even matters.

When I tried to seek clarification after the email, I was met with apologies. The company insisted it wasn’t their choice but the result of government regulations. There was nothing I could do.

This experience has forced me to reflect — not just on my personal struggle, but on the wider reality for many Nigerians and Africans in tech. It’s heartbreaking that in an industry that prides itself on innovation and inclusivity, invisible barriers like these still hold us back.

I don’t share this to complain, but to seek advice, support, and perhaps solidarity. Should relocation be the only way forward? Or are there strategies to break through this wall of nationality-based exclusion?

Right now, I feel defeated — but I refuse to give up.

May Nigeria never happen to you

Change of Venue for Hilda Baci’s Jollof Rice Festival

Hilda Baci has announced a new venue for Friday’s Jollof Rice Festival with Gino, citing safety concerns due to overwhelming interest from the public.

Originally planned for a space that could accommodate about 3,000 people, the event received over 20,000 registrations, making the initial location unsuitable. To ensure comfort and security for all attendees, the festival will now take place at Eko Hotel and Suites.

Hilda emphasized that the event remains completely free, with unlimited food for everyone. She also expressed her excitement as she prepares to attempt another Guinness World Record—cooking the largest pot of Nigerian Jollof rice, using 250 bags of rice in a massive 22,619-liter pot on Friday, September 12, 2025, in Lagos.

This one weak me pass anything… A 13-year-old girl, Davina, has allegedly been k!lled by her own father, Mr. Taye, in Ugbolokposo, Delta State.

Her mum, Miss Dorcas, has been the one single-handedly raising this girl since birth. Recently, the father called asking to take her for holiday so they can “bond.” Dorcas agreed — not knowing she was sending her child into danger.

Weeks before, there were even voice notes of the man, his wife, and sister saying Dorcas would “never see her child again.” 😢

Davina later used her father’s phone secretly to beg her mother to come take her away. But the father intercepted and said she would “adjust.”

Fast forward to Sunday, September 7th, instead of returning home for school resumption, Dorcas got a shocking call: her daughter was already dead and about to be buried. She rushed down, only to be beaten by the man and his sister before they showed her where her daughter had been buried in secret. No explanation! 💔

Police have since arrested the wife, but the father and others have run away. The case is now at Ebrumede Police Station.

⚖️ We are demanding justice! The police must exhume Davina’s body for autopsy, declare Mr. Taye wanted, and prosecute everyone involved.

This child deserves justice. ✊

"I’m Psychologically Not Ready for Marriage 🤔 I Like My Space and I Have Never Stayed With a Man 👩‍❤️‍👨 for More Than a Week"

You know, people always ask me, “Lizzy, why are you not married? You have two kids now, so what’s stopping you?” Well… let me just tell you the truth.

I am very much single 😌. Yes, I have two beautiful children 🤱, but I’m not married. The reason is simple — I’m just psychologically not ready for it. I like my space. In fact, I love my space.

I have never stayed with a man for more than a week in my life. The highest number of days I have ever spent with any man — even the father of my kids — is six days. And by that sixth day? Hmm… I was already feeling irritated 😓. I don’t know if anyone else is like me.

It’s funny because I can miss you so much, but the moment I stay with you for more than three days, something inside me just switches. I start getting irritated 😥. It’s not that I don’t care; I just don’t like too much closeness.

If I ever get married, I would prefer a situation where my husband lives very far away from me. We can see maybe twice a month, spend like three to four days together, and that’s perfect for me. After that, everybody should go back to their own corner.

Maybe it’s because of my busy schedule. Maybe it’s just how I’m wired. But I value my privacy more than anything.

There was even a time my mother took me to a pastor in her Anglican church. She told him to pray 🙏 for me because I “don’t want to get married.” I told her, “Mummy, it’s not about prayers. Even if the man of God prays from now till tomorrow, it won’t change anything — not now.”

Maybe in the future I’ll feel differently. But for now? I’m just not ready. The father of my kids is a very nice man — he wants us to get married 💍 — but me? I am not ready 😭."— Actress Lizzy gold
