Just in: Kenneth Okonkwo has departed from the Labour Party and Peter Obi.

Kenneth Okonkwo, a prominent Nigerian actor and politician, has announced his resignation from the Labour Party and has decided to sever ties with Peter Obi, the party’s presidential candidate.

This move could have implications for both Okonkwo’s political career and the Labour Party as they navigate the political landscape.

If you would like more information or insights on this situation, feel free to ask!

Political links between the Labour Party and its 2023 presidential hopeful, Peter Obi, have been cut by former spokesperson, Kenneth Okonkwo for the party.

On July 27, 2024, Okonkwo, a lawyer and renowned Nollywood actor, took the decision in reaction to ‘the candidate’s inability to address growing internal issues between himself and the Labour Party’.

The statement made by Okonkwo was shared on social media.

Okonkwo claimed he was no longer confident that Obi could win the next general elections and unite the party.

He scolded Obi for not using his authority to address the party’s enduring issues following the 2023 elections.

Okonkwo came to the conclusion that Obi had not been able to establish a solid foundation that would allow him to challenge the verdict All the Progressives Congress (APC) during the elections of 2027.

‘I am determined to take a different path in my political career as a result of what is occurring in the Labour Party right now.

Like myself, many Nigerians had great expectations for the Labour Party during the general election of 2023.

I thought Peter Obi would take the initiative and establish a strong, morally-based party that would provide us with the necessary support to topple these kleptocrats and kakistocrats. He only needed to issue the appropriate instructions, and everyone would comply.

The first thing that shocked me was when he openly stated that he had promised Nigerians not only the solution to their issues but also the creation of a powerful Labour Party.

I thought, Does that imply that Peter Obi is HE? Not conscious of the fact that we are going nowhere in politics without a strong party foundation?

To no use, he said, ‘I continued to defend him nonetheless, thinking he would still privately bring the needed solution to LP problems.’

The speaker went on, ‘Peter Obi also openly urged that the National Working Committee,

chaired by Abure, organize an inclusive convention that will ensure that every Labour Party member has a say in choosing their leaders.

Surprisingly, Peter Obi refused to distance himself from the mischievous and illegal actions of the erstwhile NWC even after their time had run out.

This didn’t happen.

Because Peter Obi hasn’t shown any leadership over the party, every Labour Party member is uncertain about the party’s future.

Sadly, I have nothing to offer them because I don’t understand myself while they look to me to inform them about Peter Obi’s point of view.

I am unable to carry on speaking for a leader whose position on matters of significant importance I am ignorant of. I really don’t know how to bend the truth.

‘I find it shocking that Peter Obi was unable to publicly acknowledge the admirable efforts of the labor unions that formed the Labour Party as a foundation to fight for worker welfare,

to the point that some of them have publicly declared that Peter Obi is now Labour Party problem.

Currently, the unpleasant scenario facing labor unions is that they are battling criminals who want to take over their party when an A simple declaration from the PO would have provided the answer.

I can’t carry on feeling this way forever. Naturally, I fully support the labor unions and other interested parties who are now obliged to defend Labour Party’s integrity without Peter Obi’s backing.

But the result is that I am no longer certain that Peter Obi can create a party that can defeat these kleptocrats and kakistocrats;

moreover, he has demonstrated that he lacks the necessary skills to obtain the mandate even in the event that he receives the support of the electorate.

I don’t plan to run a campaign like we did in 2023, portraying a candidate who, even in triumph, cannot maintain the victory.

For this reason, I have made the decision to carry on with my political career without Peter Obi, striving to build the great Nigeria of our dreams.

The comment partially attributed to Okonkwo said, ‘I am always 100% loyal to a leader whenever I am.’

Exploring After-Marriage Night Romance: Embracing the Magic of Newlywed

The night following a wedding is often described as a special and intimate time, filled with anticipation, excitement, and, of course, romance. For many couples, it marks the beginning of a new chapter in their lives, both emotionally and physically. After all the planning, the celebration, and the ceremonies, the after-marriage night romance is a moment where two people who have pledged their lives to each other can finally be alone together in a more personal and relaxed setting.

While enjoying coffee, my friend and I engaged in a conversation about our wedding night experiences. We were thinking back to our first night together, when we truly had no idea what we were getting into, even though we had both been married for a few years.

My friend Ashley, like many of us, had an idea of how she wanted her wedding night to look when she became engaged. She wanted to look flawless on the big day, change into her special wedding night lace, throw open the door, lean against the wall, and exude sexiness all at once. Then she saw her new husband erupting in passion as they carelessly gave each other the best hugs and experiences imaginable.

Sadly, that isn’t exactly how my friend’s experience unfolded. After eighteen hours in a forty-pound wedding dress, she didn’t feel well when she arrived at the hotel room.

She was sweating profusely, her bangs were stuck to her forehead, and the water was too hot.

1. Setting the Scene: ‘Creating the Perfect Atmosphere’

The environment you choose for your after-marriage night can significantly influence the experience. A few thoughtful touches can transform an ordinary room into a romantic sanctuary. Consider these ideas:

  • Lighting: Soft, ‘dim lighting can create an intimate atmosphere’. Candles, fairy lights, or even a low lamp can set the mood.
  • Music: A playlist of your favorite love songs or soothing background music can enhance the ambiance.
  • Decor: Fresh flowers, silk sheets, and a clean, cozy space can make the night feel special.

2. Emotional Connection: The Importance of Communication

The after-marriage night is often depicted in a romanticized manner, but it’s important to have realistic expectations. For many couples, it may not be as perfect as imagined, and that’s perfectly okay.

  • Adjust Expectations: Understand that the night may be a bit chaotic or not as planned, and that’s a normal part of the experience.

  • Special Touches: Write a love note or create a small gift for each other to exchange on your first night as a married couple.

  • Reflect: Share your favorite moments from the wedding day and express your gratitude and love for each other.

6. Post-Wedding Bliss: Building on the Experience

The after-marriage night is just the beginning of your journey together. Use this experience as a foundation to build a deeper connection.

When she initially put on the lace, it was incredibly itchy and nearly hard to put on because she was perspiring and sticky. She swung the door open since she didn't feel flawless, but it impacted her spouse's knee. It felt awkward when they eventually gave each other a hug.

They were going too quickly and too slowly together, and nothing looked very romantic. They also didn’t know how to move together. That night of her wedding, Ashley found herself sobbing while perched on the edge of the bed! “I wasn’t expecting this!”

  • Continue the Romance: Keep the romance alive by planning regular date nights, surprises, and meaningful gestures.
  • Stay Connected: Make it a priority to maintain open lines of communication and emotional intimacy throughout your marriage.
  • Support Each Other: Marriage is a partnership. Support each other’s needs, desires, and dreams to foster a loving and fulfilling relationship.

Conclusion

The after-marriage night is a unique and cherished experience for newlyweds. It’s a time to celebrate your love, reconnect on a deeper level, and set the stage for your future together. By creating a romantic atmosphere, communicating openly, managing expectations, and embracing the moment, you can make the night memorable and set a positive tone for your life as a married couple.

calls for the #EndBadGovernance protest have gained traction on social media.

NBS, the National Bureau of Statistics, claims that A large number of Nigerians are unable to afford the cost of necessities due to the current 34% inflation rate.

As part of his desperate attempts to put an end to the demonstration, President Tinubu has been engaging with various stakeholders, including traditional rulers.

Meta removed 63,000 sextortion accounts from Instagram in Nigeria.

63,000 sextortion-related Instagram profiles were removed in Nigeria alone, according to a statement released by Meta.

The action was taken against a loosely organized group of cybercriminals that operate mostly out of Nigeria and specialize in various forms of fraud, referred to as the Yahoo Boys.

Numerous accounts were removed by Meta, including over 2,500 that belonged to a gang of about 20 offenders that worked together and mostly targeted adult males in the US.

Sextortion has been a problem for many years. It is the practice of blackmailing someone into giving up money in exchange for them not disclosing private photos and videos.

Sextortion and sextortion schemes are occasionally carried out by individuals who know the target, but most of the time, cybercriminals who have no are at fault based on their relationship to the victim.

Furthermore, Meta removed almost 7,200 assets, all of which were headquartered in Nigeria and included 1,300 Facebook profiles, 200 Facebook Pages, and 5,700 Facebook Groups.

These accounts offered entire directions, scripts, and training for pulling off scams.

Nigeria continues to battle its image as a hotbed of internet-based fraud (the public still remembers the ‘Nigerian Prince’ email hoax), and there are reports that some citizens are duped into becoming con artists by means of wealthy-seeking ‘classes’ and schemes.

Isaac Oginni, Director of INTERPOL’s Financial Crime and Anti-Corruption Center (IFCACC), recently stated that hundreds of people have been arrested following a successful operation that targeted organized crime networks in West Africa.

‘There is a concerning rise in the amount of financial fraud originating in West Africa.

The outcomes of this surgery. emphasize how vital it is for foreign law enforcement agencies to work together to tackle these vast criminal networks.

Meta’s analysis revealed some attempts to target youngsters, but overall it demonstrated that most of these scammers’ attempts were unsuccessful and mostly targeted adults.

The amount of sextortion cases involving children and teenagers has significantly increased, according to a January 2024 FBI study.

These instances typically involve threats and coercion to share obscene photographs online by the perpetrators.

Youngsters are deceived into sharing images of themselves in their underwear, which are then used to threaten the victim with exposure.

They are made to feel as though they are speaking with someone their own age.

The BBC published a story last month illustrating the terrible effects of Sextortion can occur, particularly to children.

Meta removed 63,000 sextortion accounts from Instagram in Nigeria.

Data about a Scottish girl who committed suicide after falling prey to an Instagram sextortion group was provided by Meta in that particular case.

In February, a US Senate committee threw doubt on Meta’s efforts to safeguard minors online and demanded that the social media behemoths take more action overall.

Mark Zuckerberg and the other CEOs were held immediately accountable by Ranking Member Senator Lindsey Graham in his opening remarks.

You and the businesses that came before us, Mr. Zuckerberg, have blood on your hands.

I am aware that this isn’t how you intended things to be. There are people dying from your product.

Ever since, Meta has claimed to have picked up new signs for recognizing

The business is taking action to help stop accounts that might be involved in sextortion from locating and contacting teenagers.

Our teams work closely with experts to distinguish between con artists’ tactics,

Understand their growth, and develop effective countermeasures because they have a great deal of expertise resisting this type of criminal activity their schemes.’

It would appear from these takedowns that this is really the case. To carry on with their cybercrime, these con artists will surely return to social media sites.

The Bank of Agriculture is empty right now. We need to turn it back on. When they don’t discuss flooding, they are discussing banditry.

highlighting the United States’ support for peaceful democratic processes and the need for constructive engagement between citizens and their government.

Tinubu further elaborated that while the government respects the right to assemble, it also holds the responsibility to safeguard the nation’s peace.

‘We must work together to foster a culture of respect and understanding, where protests serve as a platform for constructive dialogue rather than division,’ he noted.

As the country navigates these challenging times, the president’s call for peaceful protest underscores the delicate balance between civil liberties and national stability.

Tinubu’s appeal for peaceful protests resonates deeply within the context of Nigeria’s current socio-political climate,

where the call for change often intersects with the challenges of governance and security.

He urged citizens to engage in dialogue that fosters unity rather than division,

emphasizing that the strength of a democracy is measured not only by the freedom to protest but also by the ability to engage constructively with differing opinions.

‘The government is not an adversary but a partner in progress,’ Tinubu remarked,

encouraging citizens to view their leaders as allies in the quest for a better society.

He acknowledged the frustrations that many Nigerians feel regarding pressing issues such as economic hardship,

corruption, and inadequate public services.

However, he insisted that addressing these concerns should be done through peaceful means that do not jeopardize the safety of others.

The President’s message also included a call for civic responsibility, urging citizens to be mindful of the impact their actions may have on the broader community.

‘We must remember that every protest is not just a reflection of our discontent but also a testament to our commitment to the nation.

Let us channel our energies into building bridges rather than burning them,’ he stated.

In light of this, Tinubu proposed initiatives aimed at enhancing dialogue between the government and civil society groups.

He suggested the establishment of regular forums where citizens could voice their concerns directly to government representatives,

fostering an environment of transparency and accountability. “Dialogue is the cornerstone of democracy.

It is through listening and understanding that we can find common ground and work towards solutions that benefit all,” he added.

As the meeting concluded, both Tinubu and the U.S. Ambassador expressed optimism for a future where peaceful protests can lead to meaningful change.

The Ambassador reiterated the importance of upholding democratic values,

noting that the United States stands ready to support Nigeria in its journey toward a more inclusive and stable society.

With the president’s commitment to peaceful demonstrations and constructive engagement,

there is hope that Nigeria can navigate its challenges while preserving the rights and freedoms of its citizens.
