WORRIED AND CONFUSED NIGERIAN WOMAN NARRATES DAUGHTER'S ESCAPEEDS AND SEEKS ADVICE

HEAR HER

My daughter is 22, and she's already sle3ping around with men. Not one, two, three or four but multiple. I was sh0cked by the things I saw on her phone. I couldn't believe it. This is a girl we have provided everything for. Just stay on campus, study, and make good grades, but she keeps failing and deferring because she spends most of her time hanging around men.
Sir, what can we do? I don't know what she wants. I've spoken to her, but she isn't listening at all.

She dates marrried men, old men, young men too. She has ab0rted for some and made videos with some while having interc0urse. She keeps asking them money, and lyying her phone is spoilt among others.

Kwaku, we give her everything, from phone to money to clothes. We pay everything for her and even give her extra money for emergencies.

What could be her probl3m? She keeps saying she doesn't know why she does it. I know to some degree that it is peer influence but really is it peer influence on someone who gets it all? Please I need your humble opinion and advice
I can't watch her destr0y her l¡fe like this.

What can I do?

NIGERIA IMMIGRATION SERVICE, IMO STATE COMMAND UPGRADES ISSUANCE OF PASSPORT

AS INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT SEEKERS HEAVE A SIGH OF RELIEF

A sigh of relief could be best described as an understatement compared to the expression of joy of applicants as the delay in the issuance of passport at the Imo State Command of the Nigeria Immigration Service is now a thing of the past.

This is as a result of the proactive measures taken by the new Comptroller of the Command Mr Patrick Ebegbune and new Command passport officer, deputy Comptroller Mrs Ime Usoro.

It will be recalled that the Command was faced with various challenges, like shortage of passport booklets, power supply, network issue and validation of national identity card among other impediments which made the issuance of international passport in Imo cumbersome thereby creating undue delay, mixed feelings and serial jettisoning of services by Imolites who sought for the services outside the state.

Determined to reverse the ugly trend, the new management tackled the challenges headlong by providing 20kva capacity solar system and ensuring that passport booklets were supplied regularly to the Command.

These measures according to reports have greatly ameliorated the hitherto bottle necks in the issuance of passport among other services.

On investigation, it was discovered that there were no cases of outstanding passports in the Command since the assumption of Mrs Usoro as the new passport officer in the Command.
Speaking on the issue, the State passport officer, Mrs Usoro promised that the Command henceforth will no longer be found wanting on the issuance of passport and other immigration services in the Command.

“ To this end, hoteliers must put their eyes to the ground to ascertain the actual activities of customers and device means of protecting young girls from perpetrators of child trafficking, drug abuse, sex for grades and other vices.

“On no condition should any student in school uniform be found in an hotel or similar facility where alcohol is sold, as such outfits, when found, shall be shut down and be made to face the mobile court “, he said.

KANU'S DETENTION: NIGER DELTA COMMUNITIES THREATEN TO CRIPPLE OIL PRODUCTION.

Communities in the Niger Delta have threatened to cripple oil production in the region if the Federal Government continues to remain adamant over the growing clamour for the release of the detained Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Kanu has remained in a solitary confinement at the Abuja headquarters of the Department of State Services, DSS, since his extraordinary rendition from Kenya in June 2021.

But despite appeals and even Court orders for his unconditional release, the IPOB Leader currently standing trial before a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, is yet to regain his freedom.

Speaking under the aegis of Association of Niger Delta Upland Communities, the oil-rich region, called on the Federal Government to quickly initiate moves for political solution to Kanu’s matter.

The association in a statement signed by its President, Isah Mohammed Obiri; and Secretary, Wisdom Oteyi, respectively, threatened to stop oil production in Niger Delta until Kanu who it said, is unjustly persecuted, is released.

A copy of the letter sighted by Vanguard read: “This is a prompt reminder to the Federal Government of Nigeria to acknowledge that our 14-days ultimatum is rapidly approaching. We remain steadfast in our commitment and determination to implement the plans we have outlined.

“Once again, we urge the Federal Government to initiate peaceful discussions with our leader for resolution.

“Please be informed that the Rumuekpe Manifold, which accommodates the storage of 700,000 barrels of crude oil per day, will continue to be non-operational until our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, is released from the custody of the DSS facility.

NIGERIAN MAN SPEAKS ABOUT DAVIDO'S WEDDING TO CHIOMA AND THE IMPACT IT WOULD HAVE HAD ON SOUTH EAST ECONOMY

HEAR HIM

The trending video of superstar Davido and his traditional marriage (Igba Nkwu), to his wife, Chef Chioma, in Lagos, a location outside Igboland, reminds of how the fear of insecurity, banditry and kidnapping has negatively impacted the South-East economy.

I lived in Anambra state between 2014 to 2020 and witnessed first hand how events such as weddings, burials, title taking etc, boosted the local Anambra state economy. Such events had a trickle – down effect on the rural folks who provided sundry services as caterers, ushers, musicians, hotels, food vendors, drinks and canopy suppliers DJs etc. Street urchins, beggars and praise singers (ndi oti mkpu) also get in on the act.

Events still happen in the South-East but not anymore in great numbers as was the case previously. Many due to fear of being kidnapped chose to stay away from events in the South-East preferring to send financial support to the event organizers. Many also host such events in cities such as Lagos, Abuja etc. Poor attendance of events in the South-East is also not helped by the high cost of flights to the South-East which currently costs N150,000 one-way.

Organizing events in the South-East come with peculiar challenges. Your two eyes have to be wide open. We recently buried our matriarch in Anambra and spent huge resources on honorarium for members of security services including army, police, local vigilante and civil defence.

Some people when they brave it and fly into town to attend events are afraid to venture out at night, preferring day-time movements. On the day of our matriarch’s service of songs at Enugwu-Ukwu, we had so many guests holed up in their hotel rooms afraid of coming out to attend because they were afraid of what might happen. Two persons from among them had fallen victim to kidnappers in April 2024 while attending a friend’s father’s service of songs at Ukpo. They have not recovered from that terrible experience.

Thinking out aloud, had Chef Chioma’s traditional wedding taken place in her hometown in the South-East, and Davido was to bring in his celebrity friends, family and well wishers along, the impact on the local economy will be enormous.

It’s never too late for South-Easterners to retrace their steps. ‘Na we dey do our self’.
