Never boast about your plans to others if you wish to succeed in life – Omokri

Nigerian author and socio-political critic, Reno Omokri has taken to social media to dish some words of advice on the need to be discreet especially when making life-changing plans.

According to the former presidential aide, the chance of failing at such plans may drastically increase when too many details are spilled to outsiders.

He stated this in a post on his Instagram page, while recounting how Angel Gabriel appeared to Zachariah ahead of Jon the Baptist’s birth.

In his words; “Never boast about your plans to others if you want your plans to materialise. While a fetus is in its mother’s womb, it can still be aborted or miscarried. That is why mothers wait for their babies to be born before they give them names. Do the same thing with your plans. Stop having the naming ceremony before the plan is birthed. Be like Zechariah.

Angel Gabriel told Zechariah the name of his son, then sealed Zechariah’s mouth until John the Baptist was born. It is not everything God has told you, or every idea or inspiration you get that you blab about.

Seal your mouth until it has come to pass or it may not come to pass. Or worse, those you tell may sell you into bondage, like Joseph’s brothers.”

I make N400k monthly supplying bread to bandits and was able to marry my dream woman – Baker

A bread factory owner, Hassan Magaji, has narrated how he made N400,000 a month supplying bread to bandits operating in Zaria, Kaduna State.

Hassan is part of a syndicate arrested by operatives of the FIB Intelligence Response Team (FIB-IRT), for allegedly supplying drugs, bread and other food items to the bandits.

The suspect admitted to making about N150,000 weekly from supplying bread to the bandits, but said his income from the venture rose sharply at a point to N70,000 a day at the time some university students were abducted in Kaduna.

Hassan who is a native of Galadimawa village, said he was finally able to marry a woman he deeply loved and had enough money to take care of his two wives and three children.

He said “I started the bakery business in 2018. I started with about N21,000 and now make about N400,000 a month. The boom in my business began when I started supplying bread to bandits.

”I normally stay close to the part of the forest where they are camped. It was during one of such movement in 2019 that I met Mohammed and three others, who told me that they would like to be buying in larger quantities.

”They started with N20,000 worth of bread and gradually increased it to N50,000 a day. After removing the cost of the ingredients, I make as much as N150,000 in a week. We had a meeting point close to their hideout in the forest, but I was not allowed to enter the bush.

It was my workers that were arrested by the police while they were on their way to delivering bread, and they brought them to my factory. During that period (when university students in Kaduna were kidnapped), I supplied up to N70,000 worth of bread every day till recently when it dropped to about N50,000.”

Hassan, added that there was not much he had done with the money other than marrying a woman “I had always loved. And I was able to save money to take care of my two wives.”

#BBNaijaReunion: Ozo wanted to use me to make Nengi jealous – Ka3na spills (Video)

Big Brother Naija ‘Lockdown’ housemate, Katrina Jones aka Ka3na, has called out Ozo for lying about his feelings towards Nengi.

Ka3na who made this known during the BBNaija reunion show, revealed that he asked her to help him make Nengi jealous after they were both evicted from the show.

According to Ka3na, Ozo never loved the ex-beauty queen but was only playing games with her and Dorathy.

“Ozo came to my hotel room at the last Saturday “All white” party, asking me to help him make Nengi jealous.

“I’m sure everyone noticed that half of the time we were at the hotel, Ozo was in my room. Even at the party, we danced together, rocked each other and we were literally together throughout the party.

Everything we did was in a bid to make Nengi jealous just like he requested.

“What I couldn’t understand is why he keeps claiming he loves Nengi because personally I feel he didn’t love either Nengi or Dorathy.

“Ozo was just playing the game and all these things that’s happening, I’m not up for it,” she said.

However, Ozo in a response to her allegations refuted claims that he met Ka3na specifically to ask her to help him make Nengi jealous.

I’ve been receiving death threats, says Model who displayed blood-stained Nigerian flag

Udeh Chiamaka Victoria, the model who displayed a blood-stained Nigerian flag while walking the Miss Africa Russian runway, says she has been receiving threats and insults from different quarters since after the video went viral.

The Russia-based fourth-year medical student had provoked controversy on Tuesday after the viral video showed her holding up the red-stained flag while appearing on stage at the pageant in Moscow as Nigeria’s representative.

In a chat with BBC Igbo, the Lagos-born model from Anambra explained that the act was never intended to tarnish the image of her country.

What I did was actually from my heart. I did it myself; no one told me to. It was a competition, a platform that was given to me. I used that platform to create an awareness of what is happening in Nigeria.

I did it duo to what happened on October 20 [2020]. I also did it because of the recent happenings now in Nigeria. It was basically to tell the world that we’ve not forgotten our fallen heroes, the Lekki protesters who died.

“I did it to also portray recent happenings because there are still killings, insecurity, rape, and all of those things. The flag signifies everything. That category was the ‘Tradition Cultural or National Costume’.

“I felt that I should dress as a nationalist to portray what is happening. I never thought it was going to go viral at all. I don’t know who shared it with bloggers. Right now that it has gone viral, I have received a lot of threats.

“I have received a lot of insults but it’s okay. People who got the message got it. For those who didn’t, it’s not on me. It was never my intention to tarnish the image of Nigeria. It was me creating an awareness that we need help,” she said.

Before now, Bovi, a comedian, pulled off a similar act at The Headies 2021 with a blood-stained #EndSARS-themed outfit.
