A young female soldier, Amina Sani Maidoki, has been detained for over six weeks without trial or legal access, reportedly on the orders of Salamatu Faruk Yahaya, wife of the former Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Faruk Yahaya (retd). She is accused of stealing $50,000 from the ex-army chief’s residence in Abuja.

Family members allege that Amina has been held incommunicado at military facilities, subjected to alleged torture, and threatened for demanding justice. Despite requests for investigation, the Nigerian Army has not issued an official statement or taken transparent action.

Sources reveal that her family has faced harassment and restrictions from visiting her, and there is concern that she is being scapegoated without proper evidence or legal proceedings. This case raises serious questions about unlawful detention and abuse within military custody in Nigeria.

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has issued a strong warning to the Lagos State Government and Dangote Refinery over the recruitment of 89 unskilled workers from Katsina State. They allege this violates labour laws and poses security concerns for the local community.

While police investigations confirmed the workers' legitimate recruitment, the NLC insists that the recruitment process bypassed local employment rules. The labour union argues that the local community should benefit first from such job opportunities, especially for unskilled positions.

The NLC is calling on authorities to intervene and have the workers returned to their original companies in the North. The Dangote Refinery has stated it is investigating the matter, attributing the workers' presence to a vendor involved in the project. This controversy highlights ongoing issues around local employment and foreign recruitment in Nigeria's booming industrial sector.

In the past, Nigerian guys often had to endure a lengthy chase before a lady would accept their love. Ladies were seen as trophies, and the chase was part of the game. Some women would play hard-to-get for months, making guys work hard to win their affection. During that time, a man’s perseverance was admired, and he saw himself as a hero for holding on.

Today, the approach to relationships has changed. The chase is less common, and many see love more like a business transaction. If a lady tries to play hard-to-get now, she might not get any response at all. Some men give up quickly, within just a couple of weeks.

Despite these changes, every woman remains valuable. Building yourself with good character, decency, and qualities makes you truly special. If you keep your virginity, it can be a source of pride and may even influence your marriage positively. For those who are not virgins, focusing on character and waiting until marriage is still a worthwhile goal.

I am a 28-year-old woman who prayed for a godly man to settle down with. I met a young man who seemed sincere and spiritually grounded. He talked about marriage early, introduced me to his family, and made me believe he wanted to marry me. Everything felt genuine at first.

However, his behavior changed over time. He pressured me for sex and insisted I get pregnant before marriage. I refused, holding onto my values, but he kept insisting. I eventually gave in, trusting that we would get married. Sadly, he later revealed he was already engaged to another woman and had been living with her for five years. The betrayal devastated me—my trust, virginity, and finances were all affected.

Even now, I feel hurt whenever I think about him. I was used, deceived, and deeply betrayed. This experience has left me emotionally scarred, but I am sharing my story to warn others about such deception.
