A fresh dispute has erupted in the Akingboye family following the death of former Ondo State gubernatorial candidate Otunba Benson Akingboye. Tensions flared over alleged foul play and a police investigation that was later closed by the DPP for lack of evidence against Mrs. Christiana Akingboye and her children.

Mrs. Akingboye secured a High Court injunction in Lagos, halting burial plans and insisting her husband be laid to rest in the city. The suit is before Justice Atinuke Ipaye, and it challenges the family’s earlier plans to bury him in his home town in Ikale land.

The extended family rejects her claim, arguing that traditional rites and lineage decisions rest with the rightful heirs. They also dispute the paternity of one child and reaffirm the validity of the late governor candidate’s first marriage. The legal battle now highlights tensions between court orders, customary law, and family dynamics.

Good day, everyone. Life in Nigeria is very tough. Surviving day to day is a struggle, and raising a child makes it even harder.

We must plan carefully before starting a family. Children deserve love and stability, not hardship and suffering. We can’t rely on divine intervention to solve every problem.

The recent story of a woman who discarded her baby shows how desperation can lead to tragic choices. Let’s all reflect seriously before deciding to bring a child into this world.

Why We Should Only Have Children We Can Afford to Raise

Mr Lekan recently stunned social media when he claimed his wife, Mrs Ella, secretly owns several businesses and properties—including the home they share—and has been raising the rent on it each year. His disclosure triggered a heated debate online, with many accusing her of betraying his trust.

In a follow-up interview, Mrs Ella explained her actions stem from a childhood trauma. She witnessed her mother build up family assets only to be abandoned by her father when she fell ill. All the properties her mother acquired were in her father’s name, and he refused to use any of them to cover her medical bills.

Determined never to repeat that mistake, Mrs Ella chose to register her own assets independently. She hopes her story will spark conversations about financial transparency and women’s rights. (Source: Linda Ikeji Blog)

Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum has directed that the term “housewife” be replaced with “generation shaper” on all official documents. This change recognizes the vital role mothers play in shaping individuals, values, and the future.

He described mothers as the first school for their children, where lessons in belonging, responsibility, and national values begin. Announced on Mother’s Day, this move formally acknowledges their immeasurable contributions to society.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the women who build families and strengthen nations.

One user wrote, “No matter how comfortable the orphanage looks, my children will never be orphans… AMEN.” Her remark sparked mixed reactions. Some agreed, others called it insensitive.

The orphanage replied gently: “They didn’t pray to be orphans. Please be a little kind with your words.” The exchange underscores the importance of empathy in online conversations.

I live near a woman who runs a small kiosk and has two sons, about nine and six years old. From the start, I was drawn to the baby—he was gentle, affectionate, and full of light. His older brother, though, struck me as different.

I watched the elder boy push, pinch, and even press his brother’s head into the ground. The younger boy seldom cried, following his brother everywhere and showing only love in return. Yet the rough treatment continued.

One day the play turned dangerous. The older brother struck his sibling near the eye, and the little boy had to get stitches. Their mother stood by, pretending not to see. She only intervened after neighbors began to talk behind her back.

This experience taught me how unchecked aggression and parental neglect can cause real harm. It made me wonder about the long-term impact on both children and the responsibility of caregivers.

Dr. Nonye Soludo, wife of the Anambra State Governor, describes motherhood as a sacred responsibility that cannot be measured in material terms. She spoke in Awka during the 2026 Mothering Sunday celebration.

She called motherhood a rare blessing and God’s call to serve a sacred purpose beyond the home. She praised mothers for their sacrifices, courage, and resilience in nurturing families and shaping society.

Soludo urged everyone to honour the mothers in their lives with love, presence, and prayers—the greatest gifts they can offer. She also congratulated compassionate mothers in Anambra and beyond on this special day.

Everyone says their mother is the best. For me, it isn’t empty praise. My mother, Patience Inyang, shaped my destiny with her sacrifices and fierce love. Growing up in a humble neighbourhood, she incubated our dreams against all odds.

She waited years to have children. She faced cultural pressures and gave up a thriving career to raise us. With limited means, she sent us to the best schools she could afford and taught us to aspire beyond our surroundings. Her stories and prayers guided us through every challenge.

As an adult, I now understand the weight of her sacrifices. I send her a monthly love offering, not out of obligation, but to show my gratitude. To all the mothers stretching every naira and enduring toxic workplaces for their families: you are seen and honoured. 

Dear Madam Patience, thank you for believing in me before I believed in myself. Na my mama be that; I no get another one.

New parents have found a creative way to set boundaries for friends and family meeting their newborn. They printed a banner at their front door outlining simple house rules.

Guests must use hand sanitizer before holding the baby and are politely asked not to kiss the little one. The sign also notes that if mum feels tired, visitors should let her rest and chat with dad instead.

The lighthearted tone of the banner struck a chord online, earning praise and amusement from Nigerians who saw the Instagram post.

I believe no one gains wisdom simply by being born male or female. Experience shapes understanding and guides action. Titles and traditions can’t replace what we’ve learned.

In marriage or any partnership, leadership should depend on skill and growth, not biology. If both people are capable, roles should shift naturally when needed.

We’ve upheld rigid gender rules without asking if they still make sense. To me, what matters is what we’ve come to understand—not the body we inhabit.

A heartwarming clip shows identical twins playfully wrapping their grandfather in his white Agbada while joking about burying him when he dies.

The smiling elder asks in Pidgin if they plan to put him in a casket. The girls quip that Jesus wasn’t laid in one, prompting him to break into a worship song.

The lighthearted moment has divided viewers online. Some call it sweet and harmless, while others feel the joke crossed a line. What do you think of this family exchange?

In today’s society, modern lifestyles often clash with traditional Christian family values. Career goals, personal interests, and digital life can overshadow family bonds.

Christian families centre on faith, emphasising love, responsibility, and obedience. Symbols like the Holy Family sculpture serve as gentle reminders of unity and support.

Modern trends encourage later marriages or single living and shift most communication to digital channels. While these changes expand personal freedom, they can weaken family cohesion and blur shared responsibilities.

Yet faith and modern life can coexist. Many families pursue careers while maintaining regular prayer and gatherings. They blend biblical teachings with modern educational approaches to uphold core values in a changing world.

I shared on Facebook that my sister’s first salary taught me the true value of investing in family. She overcame sickle cell disease to earn a degree in Computer Science and a master’s in Cyber Security. When she got her first paycheck, she surprised me with a gift and a heartfelt note. It moved me to tears.

I even joked that I hoped her note wasn’t AI-generated, because it felt so sincere. Her achievement is a testament to her resilience and a reminder that our support can change lives.

This weekend, I’ll celebrate her success. But more importantly, I’ll continue to invest in my family’s dreams.

I need to share some family background first. My grandpa married three wives. The second wife was accused of cheating and later died of gonorrhea. She left behind two daughters and a son who passed away.

Those two daughters married and had children of their own. One of them, Ada, has a reputation in the village. Some even call her a “hoe,” and her own brother warned me to watch out for her behavior.

When I visited her brother’s house recently, Ada was alone with me. She wore a revealing outfit, sat very close, and even played a wrestling video as an excuse to flirt. At one point she leaned in like she wanted to kiss me.

This whole episode has me thinking about inherited traits and family history. It’s best to know your family’s past before getting involved in anything serious.

Former Kaduna State governor Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai is in mourning after the passing of his mother, Hajiya Umma, on Friday, March 27.

Family sources say the matriarch had been managing age-related health challenges for some time. Her condition reportedly worsened after she learned of her son’s alleged detention by the ICPC.

El-Rufai remained closely involved in her care before her death. In their statement, the family prayed to Almighty Allah to forgive her shortcomings and grant her Aljannatul Firdaus. This comes just days after the loss of the governor’s sister-in-law on March 20.

Having children is the greatest fruit of marriage in Nigeria. Many couples long for offspring, while others struggle despite desperate efforts. Yet no one plans for quintuplets—five babies born at once—until it happens.

In Kano State, Hafsatu Yusuf, already mother of eight, delivered quintuplets at a specialist hospital. In our agrarian past, this blessing signified prosperity and pride. Today, in a battered economy, many wonder how a tricycle operator father will feed thirteen mouths.

I celebrate this gift of life, but I also acknowledge the challenge it brings. Parenthood demands courage, faith, and community support. Tragically, the mother passed away from severe postpartum bleeding. The quintuplets—three boys and two girls—are stable and under government care.

This story teaches that God’s gifts defy economic logic. Our lives and souls rest in His hands. The miracle of procreation reveals a Creator who bestows blessings and tests us with trials according to His wisdom.

I remember the first time I saw a child drift away. The boy who once obeyed his parents suddenly ignored their advice. He listened closely to friends and strangers instead.

Authority alone will not keep your child close. Without connection, you create silence, not loyalty. When children feel judged or unheard, they seek comfort elsewhere.

Today’s outsiders include social media and videos. If your child finds safety and respect with someone else, your voice will fade. But if they feel understood at home, your guidance will always matter.

Be present. Let them speak without interruption. Preserve their dignity. Guide them with empathy. Your child does not need perfection. They need safety with you.

Authority Alone Will Keep Your Child Close. It Won’t.

Why Authority Without Connection Fails in Parenting

In a series of social media posts, Emerald Chizy opened up about the emotional toll of her four-year divorce battle. She faced false accusations, threats and harassment from her ex-husband, who even accused her of bigamy after she remarried during their separation.

She recalls spending millions on legal fees, enduring countless court appearances and feeling her mental and financial health crumble. Despite friends and family urging her to give up, Emerald stood firm and finally secured her divorce in 2026.

Reflecting on her marriage, which began in 2014 and produced twins in 2016, Emerald says she felt decades older by her late twenties. Today, she celebrates her resilience and looks forward to a brighter future.

Buithat Hudu insists that any woman aiming to become her husband’s second wife must start by buying her a car. She explains that she has already invested ten years emotionally, mentally, financially and spiritually in the marriage.

According to Hudu, her home isn’t a charity. She says a co-wife without her own career or direction would be a liability, not a partner in the relationship.

She stresses that any hopeful candidate must offer true contribution rather than simply consume the benefits she worked hard to build.

I feel heartbroken each time my mum calls to tell me about another weird dream involving me. Last year, a stranger in the village claimed I was suffering and had lost hope of a bright future. She refused to say who it was and I hung up in anger.

In November, my mum dreamt that I was attacked and stabbed. Last night, she called again to say she saw me naked in her dream. I’ve noticed these nightmares start whenever my finances are tight and I can’t send her money as often.

She also needs a hospital check-up for her breast issue but is frustrated that I haven’t sent enough money yet. I remind her that I have good and bad times. She hasn’t supported me since I was ten, yet she still expects so much, and the pressure is overwhelming.

I’ve noticed that when both partners earn and share expenses, the woman often ends up doing much more than the man at home. She handles the morning routines, school runs and household chores before and after her paid job. Meanwhile, he goes straight to work and expects to “rest” when he returns.

This imbalance breeds resentment. To fix it, we have two options. First, the man remains sole provider so a woman’s income is purely for herself. Second, we split chores as deliberately as we split finances. That means dropping the old “alpha male” mindset and actively sharing cooking, cleaning and childcare.

I know some tasks can’t be passed on—pregnancy and breastfeeding are uniquely women’s work. Forcing them to also carry full financial weight often hardens their hearts and erodes respect for men. We need to acknowledge a wife’s contributions and resist raising sons who think marriage is just a 50/50 finance deal.
