Introduction

Knowing how to speak the local language of the country you plan to move to isn’t just about saying hello and goodbye. It’s like having a magic key that unlocks a whole new world of experiences and benefits. Here’s how:

Deeper cultural understanding: When you can speak the language of the country you are planning to move to, there’s no doubt that when you move abroad, you can understand the local jokes, traditions, and customs. You’ll be able to have more meaningful conversations with people and feel more connected to the culture.

Smoother transition: Speaking the local language can make it much easier to adjust to life in a new country. When you move abroad and are able to speak the local language, you’ll be able to navigate everyday tasks, like shopping and getting around, with more confidence.

Making friends: Speaking the language shows that you’re interested in the culture and makes it easier to connect with local people. This can help you build friendships and feel more at home in your new surroundings, which is another benefit of learning your new country’s language before you move abroad.

Finding work: This is another benefit of learning the language spoken in the country you are moving to before you move abroad.

Nigerian Man Based In The UK Halts Wedding Plans Over N3.5M Cost Of Bride Price (PHOTOS)

A Nigerian man based in the UK halts wedding plans over N3.5M cost of bride price. This UK-based man totally frowns against the exorbitant cost given to him by his bride’s family as a result of this calling off the wedding with their daughter.

The images above are just for illustration purposes

Recently, pictures surfaced on social media that showed the list of items expected from the bride’s family, causing the would-be groom to rethink his decisions.

According to a post made by a matchmaker on platform X, this UK-based Nigerian man was planning to marry a woman from his home country and even had plans to take her abroad with him.

However, the steep price of the bride made him reconsider his plans.
Social media reactions to the post shed light on diverse perspectives regarding the high bride price.

Some users questioned the tribal customs involved in the pricing; others simply criticised the family’s apparent greed. Amid these voices, many lamented the loss of a promising relationship due to materialistic demands.

In other relationship news, a Nigerian woman recently shared her seven-month relationship saga, revealing that her boyfriend had only dated her out of a dare.

Another woman proudly displayed three engagement rings from her previous relationships, sharing the unique stories behind them.

Read the full statement below, according to the x influencer, which reads: 

“There’s this guy on my platform who met a lady here in Nigeria while he’s in the UK. Despite the challenges of a long-distance relationship, he was committed to her.

“He even sought my advice, and I encouraged him to go for it. But yesterday, he reached out to me, distraught, after receiving a bride price list from her family totaling ₦3.5 million.  

“We had a lengthy and emotional discussion. His pain wasn’t just the list itself but the fact that the woman he loves supports her family’s demands, claiming everything is expensive in Nigeria.”

“Why should anyone demand such an outrageous amount just for marriage? Doesn’t that set the tone for the man to treat her like he ‘bought’ her? It’s a shame, and I hope women learn from this. This man had genuine plans to take her abroad and pay for her education. Now, because of greed, the family has lost a good man.”

“He told me yesterday he’s no longer interested and plans to block her. He said he would cry, heal, and move on with his life. I feel bad for the lady—if only she had a more understanding family and stood up for herself. She’s about to lose a good man without even knowing it.” 

The story has since sparked debate online, with many criticising the tradition of exorbitant bride price demands and urging families to focus on long-term benefits rather than immediate financial gain.

Cristel Nchama, one of the women accused of being involved in the widely shared sex tapes with Baltasar Ebang Engonga, the former head of Equatorial Guinea’s National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF), has officially filed a report with the National Gendarmerie in Malabo.

This unfolds in the wake of a scandal that has shocked the whole country. People didn’t like Engonga after police searched his home and office as part of an investigation into theft and found about 400 explicit videos.

According to the claims, these tapes show Engonga having sexual encounters with a lot of women, including the wife of his brother, his cousin, the sister of Equatorial Guinea’s president, the wife of the police director-general, and about 20 ministers’ wives.

Reports say that the films were shot in Engonga’s office, hotels, and even toilets and that the people in them gave their permission. However, the leak has caused significant public outcry and personal damage to those involved.

According to Real Equatorial Guinea, Cristel Nchama’s complaint says that she was in a four-year relationship with Engonga and has felt deeply humiliated by the release of the videos.

The fallout from the scandal has been swift, with Engonga being dismissed from his post on Thursday.

“I am humiliated. It is my reputation, my honour. I want to know where these images came from and why he kept the images,” Cristel said, demanding compensation for the damage to her reputation.

Additionally, the government has suspended all officials allegedly involved in sexual activities within ministry offices, signalling a crackdown on misconduct among public officials.

She accused Engonga of misleading her into trusting him and revealed that she initially resisted being filmed, thinking that any recordings would be deleted.

A large consignment of a potent synthetic cannabis type called ‘Canadian Loud’ was recently intercepted at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, leading to the arrest of 41-year-old Canadian citizen Adrienne Munju.

This was the first visit of Munju to Nigeria, who was apprehended while clearing in as a passenger on a KLM Airline flight from Canada on October 3, 2024.

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, confirmed that Adrienne was nabbed during a combined examination of her three pieces of luggage. 74 packs of the unlawful substance weighing 35.20 kilograms were discovered concealed in two of these bags.

Munju claimed to have accepted CAD 10,000 to traffic the drug via an internet platform, intending to use the funds for her ongoing Master’s degree program in Canada.

Further drug seizures happened over the same period. At the Tin Can Seaport in Lagos, 100 packs of Canadian Loud weighing 50 kilos were seized on October 3. The consignment was hidden in a container with imported vehicles from Canada.

Moreover, the NDLEA officers confiscated 13,298,000 opioid pills, including Tramadol, Tramaking Quick Action Tramadol, Tamol-X, Royal Tapentadol, Carisoprodol, and 338, 253 bottles of codeine-based cough syrup with a value of over N9,017, 771,000 at the Port Harcourt Ports Onne, Rivers State.

The seizures were in three containers from India, specifically targeted by the NDLEA during a thorough joint inspection with the Nigerian Customs Service and other port partners on October 2 and 3, 2024.

Elsewhere, in Taraba State, an onboard commercial bus traveling from Onitsha, Anambra State, to Jalingo was stopped on October 3. The officers discovered 80 blocks of cannabis weighing 38 kilos hidden in bags of garri. Large quantities of opioids concealed in the vehicle were also found, and two suspects were arrested.

Further operations by the NDLEA on the same day led to the raiding of two cannabis farms at the Bridge Camp, a boundary community between Edo and Ondo states. 9,966.332 kg of the substance was destroyed on over three hectares of farmland, with 48 kg of the already processed psychoactive substance recovered.
