A groom at the Kano State mass wedding reveals that he had added another wife to his family.

Speaking during the mass wedding ceremony, the man said he already had three wives before adding another.

“I just added another wife; I have three already,” he said.

The development comes as Kano State hosted a mass wedding involving 1,500 couples.

Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf said his administration committed over N1.5 billion to the 2026 mass wedding as part of efforts to fulfil his campaign promise and support the newly married couples.

A Nigerian lady has left social media users stunned after sharing a story about her 70-year-old grandmother allegedly getting pregnant.

According to the lady, her grandmother began complaining of persistent pain on her left side shortly after she returned home for school break.

After the pain continued for several weeks, she decided to take her grandmother for medical tests.

She said they eventually went to the hospital, where several tests were carried out, including blood and urine tests and a pregnancy test.

The lady said the result left her confused, as she had never imagined pregnancy could be a possibility at her grandmother’s age.

Maybe this will offend some people.

That’s okay.

Everywhere I turn, I hear the same advice.

“Don’t get married in your early twenties.”

“Go and discover yourself first.”

“Wait until you’re 28 or 30.”

And every time I hear it, one question comes to my mind…

What exactly are we asking young women to discover?

I’m genuinely asking.

Because the way people talk, you’d think getting married at 22 automatically means your life is over.

Who said so?

If a woman meets a responsible, intentional man at 22…

A man who believes in her dreams…

A man willing to support her education…

A man who wants to build with her instead of controlling her…

Why should she reject him simply because society says she’s “too young”?

Who made 28 the magic number?

Another thing I find interesting is this…

People keep saying,

“Go and enjoy your life first.”

But what exactly does “enjoy your life” mean?

Travel?

Build a career?

Start a business?

Those things are beautiful.

But who says they cannot happen within a healthy marriage?

Who convinced us that marriage automatically ends ambition?

I’ve seen women graduate after getting married.

I’ve seen women start businesses after getting married.

I’ve seen women become doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs and leaders while married.

So maybe marriage wasn’t the problem.

Maybe the wrong partner was.

And here’s another question nobody seems to ask…

If you’re telling a 22-year-old woman to wait until she’s 28…

Can you guarantee that the right man will still come at 28?

Can you guarantee she’ll even want the same things at 28?

Can you guarantee life will go exactly as planned?

None of us can.

Life doesn’t give guarantees.

It only gives opportunities.

Sometimes the opportunity comes early.

Sometimes it comes late.

The real question isn’t,

“How old are you?”

The real question is,

“Who is standing in front of you?”

Is he responsible?

Does he respect you?

Does he support your purpose?

Can both of you grow together?

Those questions matter far more than the number on your birthday cake.

I’m not saying every woman should marry young.

Far from it.

Some people genuinely need more time to mature.

Some relationships shouldn’t end in marriage at all.

What I’m questioning is this idea that age alone determines whether a marriage will succeed.

It doesn’t.

Character does.

Wisdom does.

Choosing the right person does.

Maybe we’ve spent so much time teaching women when to marry…

That we’ve forgotten to teach both men and women how to choose wisely.

Or maybe I’m looking at it the wrong way.

If a 22-year-old woman meets an intentional man who genuinely supports her dreams, should she walk away simply because society says she’s too young?

A Nigerian woman serving in the United States Army has made an emotional public appeal to President Donald Trump over her 10-year-old daughter’s inability to join her in the US.

In a video shared online, the woman identified herself as Uzumaka and said she has been separated from her daughter for 10 years while trying to complete the immigration process.

According to her, her daughter has completed the required US immigration process but remains in Nigeria because of the current visa restrictions.

She said the situation has become more urgent because her daughter is now critically ill and needs medical care that she believes would be difficult to access in Nigeria.

“I am only simply asking that there should be an exception for me. My daughter is critically ill. I have all the paperwork to prove it, medical reports,” she said.

The US Army member said she had reached out to her commanders and Senator Amy Klobuchar, but was told that the visa process was progressing as planned.

Appealing directly to Trump, she pleaded for her daughter to be granted a visa on humanitarian grounds.

“Please, Mr President, help me reunite with my daughter,” she said, breaking down in tears.

She also appealed to social media users to share her video and help amplify her plea, saying she had contacted major news organisations but had yet to receive a response.

“This is just a mother fighting for her daughter to live and survive,” she added.

A Kano man, Haruna Bashir has remarried six months after he lost his wife and six children in a brutal attack.

Bashir was among 1,500 couples that married on Friday and Saturday in a mass wedding organized by the Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf.

For Bashir, the ceremony marks an opportunity to begin rebuilding his life after the tragic loss of his immediate family.

“Since the tragic incident, he hardly interacted with people. Today, he is gradually returning to normal life,” said Sheikh Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa, commander-general of the Kano State Hisbah Board, which coordinated the ceremony.

LIB reported that the incident occurred in Dorayi Chiranchi Quarters on Saturday, January 17, 2025.

The victims, Fatima Abubakar, 35, and her children, Maimuna, 17, Aisha, 16, Bashir, 13, Abubakar, 10, Faruk, 7, and Abdulsalam, barely one and half years old, were attacked with dangerous weapons after the assailants broke into their home.

The Kano State Police Command arrested three principal suspects, including a family member for the gruesome m8rder.

Nigeria’s Super Falcons have lost their chance to secure an automatic ticket to the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup after suffering a 1-0 defeat to Cameroon in the quarter-finals of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).

Myriam Maéva Nyadjou Wamen scored the decisive goal in the 19th minute at the Larbi Zaouli Stadium in Casablanca, sending the Indomitable Lionesses into the semi-finals.

The fiancé of late Nollywood actress Temitope Osoba, Prophet Itunu Onadeko, has claimed that the actress died at a police station in Ikorodu, Lagos.

Onadeko made the claim while speaking in an interview, insisting that Osoba’s previous battle with breast cancer was not responsible for her *****.

He also denied rumours that she was poisoned, maltreated or that money donated for her cancer treatment was diverted.

According to him, he received a midnight call from an unidentified person informing him that Osoba had died at a police station, although he said he did not know the exact station.

The actress, who died at 40, had previously spoken publicly about her battle with breast cancer and treatment.

Onadeko also denied allegations that she was prevented from driving, claiming she drove herself to Iperu shortly before her *****.

He further dismissed claims of mistreatment, including allegations that she was punished by having faeces or urine poured on her.

Singer Ne-Yo is facing a lawsuit after a woman who was delivering a package to his home allegedly suffered a dog bite.

According to the lawsuit, Dominique Bridgett was attacked by the singer’s dog while delivering a package to his Alpharetta, Georgia home in July 2025.

Bridgett claimed the dog was not restrained despite allegedly having a history of aggressive behaviour towards people.

She said the incident left her with injuries, pain and emotional distress, and that she has already spent more than $9,000 on medical bills.

The lawsuit, filed in Fulton County Court in June, accuses Ne-Yo of negligence and seeks an unspecified amount in damages.

Ne-Yo’s representative has not publicly commented on the lawsuit.

The case comes shortly after Chris Brown was ordered to pay nearly $13 million after a jury found him liable in a separate case involving an alleged dog attack on a housekeeper.

A former high school friend of Omolola Okoye, wife of Peter Okoye, has come out in her defence amid the ongoing drama surrounding the Okoye family.

The woman, who described Lola as her closest friend in secondary school, said the person being portrayed online is far from the woman she has known for years.

According to her, Lola was kind, neat, humble and welcoming, recalling how friends would gather around her in boarding school while she casually swept the room without ever complaining.

She also described Lola as someone who did not hold grudges and said she had never known her to deliberately create problems for anyone.

The friend further claimed that Lola had always supported Peter's relationship with his family and did not prevent him from reconciling with his siblings.

She recalled being with Lola a day before her wedding and said she only later learned from Peter that his absence was allegedly intentional.

The woman concluded by describing Lola as “the best thing that happened to Peter”, adding that her character and upbringing could not be properly understood from what was being said about her on social media.
