Coronavirus: Security forces kill more Nigerians than 

Image captionNigerian security forces have a reputation for brutality

Security forces enforcing the lockdown in parts of Nigeria have killed more people than coronavirus itself, a local rights group says.

Evidence of the killings comes from members of the public who rang their hotline or sent in videos, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) adds.

It says law enforcers have killed 18 people in Nigeria since lockdowns began on 30 March.

Coronavirus has killed 12 people, according to health ministry data.

Nigeria, which has a population of about 200 million people, has reported 407 cases of coronavirus but there are fears it could spread quickly in overcrowded parts of the country.

Nigerian security forces have a reputation for brutality.

At least 1,476 people were killed by state actors in the country over the past year, says the Council on Foreign Relations.

In its report about Nigeria's coronavirus lockdown period, the NHRC, a government agency, said it had found "8 separate incidents of extrajudicial killings leading to 18 deaths”.

In total the group said it received more than 100 complaints across 24 of Nigeria’s 36 states - including Lagos, Ogun and Abuja. Those three parts of the country this week had their two-week lock down extended.

Other areas have set a variety of restrictions, which have seen the police and army called out to enforce them.

Nigerian security forces have not responded to the NHRC's report.

But earlier this month, Nigeria's police force encouraged citizens to report officers who violate rules on conduct adding “the rights of Nigerians are not infringed upon 

This report won't come to many Nigerians as much of a surprise. Nigeria's police have a bad reputation for brutality, extortion and harassment even before the current coronavirus pandemic and the lockdown imposed to contain the virus.

What is more interesting is however, the fact that the latest damning report did not first come from their usual fierce critics like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International. Instead it came from a Nigerian government agency.

The Nigerian police authorities say they are doing their best in bringing erring officers to justice.

During the current lockdown, the police in Lagos arrested an officer who was seen in a video extorting about $110 (£90) from a motorist.

The police spokesperson for Lagos told me the officer was being tried, while the money has been returned to the victim. Another officer was demoted in Akwa Ibom state for assaulting a medical doctor during the restriction period.

While addressing Nigerians on the lockdown measures on Monday, President Muhammadu Buhari sent a mixed message on the role of the security forces, saying: ''The security agencies have risen to the challenges posed by this situation with gallantry and I commend them. I urge them to continue to maintain utmost vigilance, firmness as well as restraint in enforcing the restrictions orders, while not neglecting statutory security responsibilities."

As the lockdowns and other security issues continue, many Nigerians have little confidence that the attitude of the security forces will improve soon despite assurances by the authorities.

GUYS! If You Meet Any Of These Types Of Women, Never Think About Marrying Them; Numbers 3 And 4 Are The Worst Of All

The Bitter Woman: You know that woman that always seems to be angry at the menfolk all the time? Perhaps she has had her heart broken one too many times, but this woman is always bashing on men and talking about how they are no-good or useless. A man might not want to settle down with someone so bitter as it is guaranteed that when the opportunity arises, she would hurl hurtful insults and intense, hateful words his way due to all her unresolved anger.

The Selfish Woman: If you want a happy home and a partner that wants your happiness as well as hers, then you should steer clear of the selfish woman. A woman who is determined to make sure she always comes first would not be able to build a cheerful and loving home with you.

Image result for different types of women you should not think of marrying
The Materialistic Woman: A woman obsessed with material things would certainly not make the best wife. If all she cares about are material possession over family, faith and spiritual fulfillment, then she will not make the best partner.

Related image
The Flirty Woman: Are you attracted to that woman that always seems to flirt with one person or another? She flirts like a butterfly from one man to another and makes all men feel like she is interested in them. Well, beware, because a habit like that might be hard to break after marriage and you would not want to start hearing that your wife has had flirty conversations with all the men in the neighbourhood.

The Party Freak: She is invited to every party and attends them all. She is always dressed in the most flashy clothes and is the ultimate party girl. She lives for the next big gathering and cannot say no to an invitation. Such woman might not be the type to settle down in a marriage.

Related image
The Spoilt-Brat: A woman who grew up having everything handed to her and has never had the experience of actually working for something is unlikely to make the best wife. No matter how much you might be willing to provide her with the kind of lifestyle she grew up with, remember, marriage comes with kids and kids require sacrifice. If she has never had to work or make sacrifices for anything in her life, it is unlikely that she would start now.

The Attention Seeker: While some women naturally like attention, when it becomes an obsession, then it is not a good idea. A good husband makes sure he has time for his wife, but this cannot happen 100percent of the time so a good wife should understand that.

Image result for different types of women you should not think of marrying attention seeker
The Gossip: Does she always seem to never mind her own business? Is she always focused on what someone else is doing or how someone else is living their life? Then you do not need this kind of woman as a wife. A man needs someone that would build a home with him and this requires some focus on her own plans and her own life. If she is too busy minding someone else’s business, then you are fighting a losing battle.

Image result for different types of women you should not think of marrying gossip
The Commitment-Phobe: A woman who finds it difficult to commit to anything (school, jobs, family, friendship, etc) would also not be able to commit to a marriage. If she seems to lose interest in everything quickly and is always looking for the next thing to jump into, then you would have a hard time keeping her focused in her marriage.

Image result for different types of women you should not think of marrying
The Disrespectful Woman: If she seems to always be disrespectful and rude (even if it is to people she considers beneath her standards) then you need to think twice about marrying her. Respect for a fellow human being is a very important attribute in who we choose to spend the rest of our lives with so it is definitely not something that should be taken lightly.

Dear Duncan Mighty, it is time to slow down with the collaborations

For every three songs released, a Duncan Mighty feature is found. Even though, it was refreshing at first, a burn out is now visible and he needs to slow it down.

On Tuesday, August 21st, the much anticipated collaboration, 'Aza' by Davido, Duncan Mighty and Peruzzi was released, but unlike the wow effect his previous power features created, the reactions that have since followed suggests that it may be time the Port Harcourt flagbearer becomes more intentional with the choice of song he jumps on.

Duncan Mighty is the flavour of the Nigerian Music industry presently and it is no surprise that everyone seeks a bit of his magic.

His technical proficiency on hooks is truly stunning. The way he chants his native language is attimes enchanting and his vocals deliver a gripping piece of musical bliss on a given day.

From the moment he blessed Wizkid with a feature on Fake Love, which became an instant hit, Duncan Mighty has been on the list of 'must-work-with-to-get-a-hit' by every artist seeking a guaranteed mainstream record.

Duncan Mighty  (Instagram/DuncanMighty)

But this is not peculiar to him as it often happens to every 'newly discovered hit-maker' or any artist who has the ability to deliver the right hook or verse in turning an otherwise average record into an anthem.

When 2face Idibia emerged on the scene, everyone wanted a piece of him, it was no different for Ruggedman after he stirred the hostile waters with Ehen, a verse from him was the holy grail that rappers sought, the likes of Wizkid and Olamide have also passed through this route and internationally, names like Rihanna, Akon, TPain were most prominent during the time of their come-up.

But as great as putting out more music sound, less can actually be more especially for an artist like Duncan Mighty, who is not exactly a newbie.

For long, his legacy powered by his talent has also been fuelled by this myth around his music with the conservative stance that he chose, remaining in his Port Harcourt region at a time when every artist jumped on the next bus to Lagos.

Duncan Mighty should slow down, they are just about to rubbish him. This Aza has just got to be his wackest song ever. That Frog should have allowed only Peru and Duncan bang. He spoilt it with his random shouting up and down!!!

Duncan Mighty has to calm down on the Features, if he continues like this he"ll rush out of this fame. He should be selective with Features at least not every song he should jump on

Duncan Mighty needs to take it easy with the collaborations. It's not everyone who asks for a feature that deserves a hook or verse.

It is understandable when artists try to cash in as much as possible on their '15minutes of fame', but there is a greater risk of early burnout as against a sustained period of influence.

From May, when he enjoyed a 'rebirth' of a sort with the release of Fake Love, Duncan Mighty has featured on over 15 released songs in the last three months.

An average of 4 songs every month, one song per week and while he has scored some hits along the way, evidently there have been misses as well.

The past few features especially are becoming far too predictable, less intimate and not as refreshing as the chants were.

The majority of his features are tied around the same topic, ''Love'', so his lyrics are also becoming repetitive and you find him even bringing back lines from his old songs like he did on Lova Lova with Tiwa Savage, with the lyrics, ''If I break your heart, it's like oil spillage'', originally used in the song 'Killing me softly' released on his last studio album, The Certificate.

Duncan Mighty and Davido  (Instagram/DuncanMighty)

Outside the fact that he delivered a stellar verse on Fake Love, one thing that also worked in the favour of the Wene Mighty was that listeners had become tired of the saturated and now monotonous 'Shaku Shaku' vibe, and the world hadn't heard from him in quite some time, so his sound was a breathe of fresh air allowing his fans enough time to fully soak up his melody.

There was also the feeling of nostalgia that music lovers who listened to him when he released his debut album, Koliwater in 2008 could associate with.

But 15 features down the line and there is no evolving, little experimenting and everything is starting to sound the same, and heading for the stale door faster than the last trend did.

The attraction of the now is blinding the brilliance of his creativity, and preventing him from taking time to rebooth and deliver more special offerings.

So yeah, we understand that the newly found attraction is good and acknowledge his work ethic, but it will be interesting to see him take a few steps back, be more selective with the collaborations he jumps on and judging by how he has consistently delivered a new project every two years, maybe power that energy into releasing another defining body of work before the end of the year.

To leave a legacy, Duncan Mighty doesn't necessarily have to be ubiquitous on every song, but for his songs to meaningfully live longer, have more gripping effect and consistently remain on listener's playlists and in their hearts.

6 Things You Should Remove From Your Life If You Really Want To Succeed (No. 3 Is Very Important

Not everything you loos is a loss. Sometimes we have to give up everything that’s killing us even if it’s killing us to let go. Once we remove the old, we automatically create space for the new.

1. Guilt

Let’s start by removing guilt. Guilt is to the spirit what gain is it to the body? Mistakes are always forgivable if we’re courageous enough to admit them and remember the best apology to ourselves or anyone else is “changed behavior”.

2. Excuses

It’s time to remove excuses. Excuses are the lies we tell ourselves so that we don’t have to think anything is our fault.

3. Negative People.

It’s time to remove negative people. You literally don’t have to be friends with anyone who doesn’t supports you and still brings your energy down. It’s okay to outgrow anyone who is not growing. Some people are better left in the past no matter how much you want them to be there with you in your present.

4. Anxiety

It’s time to remove anxiety. Anxiety is like sitting in a rocking chair. It give you something to do but does’t get you anywhere. Over thinking kills and ruins you. It ruins the situations, it twists things around, it makes you worry and also makes everything worse than it actually is.

5. Negative Self Talk

It’s time to remove negative self talk. We’re defined by the stories we tell ourselves every single day moment to moment. “I’m not good enough” “I can’t do this” “It’s not meant for me.” Try to recognize when a phase, a life stage, a job, or a relationship is over and let it go. Moving on doesn’t have to be a dramatic event. You can simply choose to move forward with peace and clarity and never remove yourself from the equation because whatever happens to you then, nothing will ever add up.

6. Pleasing People

Stop trying to please everyone. We loose ourselves try to please everyone else, and then loose everyone trying to find ourselves.

Real men do one round and sleep; jobless ones release all their poverty inside

According to Pat Ugwu, it is only jobless men who spend a whole night having sex with their partners because they want to release all their poverty and frustrations inside the women.

While some women lament over their partners’ inability to satisfy them or spend sufficient time making love with them, claiming to be exhausted, a Nollywood actress claims such men are the real men.

According to Pat Ugwu, it is only jobless men who spend a whole night having sex with their partners because they want to release all their poverty and frustrations inside the women.

The curvaceous actress resorted to Instagram to say: “Real men do one round and sleep. But the jobless ones will hit it overnight like they are releasing their poverty inside ur hunny pot.”

She apparently thought she was attacking men, but some fellow women will vehemently disagree with her. There have been instances where women have sought divorce because their partners could not go beyond one round of sex.
