Key Lessons As Police Arrests 7 Africans In Dubai After Crime Video Goes Viral

A group of seven yet-to-be-identified young African men has landed themselves into hit waters in the United Arab Emirates, as they were all recently arrested by the Dubai Police following an alleged heated argument late at night in their apartment.

According to reports, a criminal case was registered against them after a video of them fighting and damaging properties in a public place went viral on social media platforms.

The Dubai Police reportedly warns against such unacceptable behavior and constantly urges the community members to report such through ‘Police Eye Service’ on the Dubai Police app or by calling the emergency hotline.

The men are reportedly all of the African descent, and they will be referred to the public prosecution for further action.

A group of seven yet-to-be-identified young African men were all recently arrested by the Dubai Police following an alleged heated argument late at night in their apartment.

Dubai authorities also reportedly warn the public against “publishing or forwarding clips to avoid legal accountability according to article 52 of the UAE Federal Law No 34 of 2021 on countering Rumors and Cybercrimes.”

According to their law: “Whoever uses the information network to announce, disseminate, re-disseminate, circulate, or recirculate news or data, or broadcasts any provocative news that would incite or provoke public opinion, disturb the public peace, spread terror among people, or cause harm to the public interest, the national economy, the public order, or the public health shall be punished with at least one year of imprisonment and a fine of not less than Dh100,000.”

These men not only fought and destroyed property in a public place, but they also somehow stupidly had it posted on social media!

They are now in more trouble than they ever bargained for, and their case holds an important lesson for everyone: Rules are rules, and they must be obeyed, whether in your native land or another country!

It is even more expedient and commonsensical to carefully note all the rules, laws, and regulations of any village, town, city, state, or country you’re visiting and diligently follow them consistently.

That way, you’ll be able to keep yourself out of trouble and abide peacefully for as long as you’re going to sojourn in that land.

Which African country do you think these young men, or most of them, are from? Please drop your comments below or via our Facebook pages: Wenetly and Prof. Mgbeke

2 Commendable Points, Lessons As Davido Reveals Igbo Heritage On Grandma’s 11th Death Anniversary

Multiple award-winning and world-famous Nigerian music superstar David Adedeji Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, left many of his fans and several Nigerians stunned on July 23, 2022, after the music star disclosed that his grandmother is from the South-East part of Nigeria (Igbo).

Davido made the disclosure as he penned a concise but lovely message to commemorate the 11th anniversary of her death.

Putting up a picture of his “Nana’s” remembrance poster released by the Adeleke Family on his Instastory, the DMW boss said: “Yes, my grandma is Igbo… Miss you, mama.”

Madam Nnena Esther Adeleke passed on to glory 11 years ago, and the Adelekes speaking through Adedeji Adeleke (Davido’s father), described their late mother as a very amiable, humble, and good woman who was loved by all.

While thousands of remarks and lovely comments continue to pour in all over social media over the music star’s Igbo heritage, we have a crucial observation and lesson we want everyone to note below.

(1) Davido’s love, passion, and unrelenting selflessness for his family is an example every home should show and teach their children from early childhood! It is simply amazing!

How he goes all out for his family and commits everything to ensure they succeed is so surreal, and one cannot but wonder what kind of human he is.

One of the few genuine and very good ones left, we dare say, and his antecedents are no secrets or hidden things to the public. Simply put: Davido is a rare and glittering gem in the House of Adeleke, and this is all about his personality and not even his musical talent!

Madam Nnena Esther Adeleke passed on to glory 11 years ago, and the Adelekes described their late mother as a very amiable, humble, and good woman who was loved by all.

(2) Davido embodies the spirit and culture of Africa that stays grounded and very proud of our roots, no matter the level of Western exposure or distance traveled!

The way he is always eager and swift to identify with his African heritage and diverse roots is another thing we need to teach our children as they grow.

No matter where you come from, don’t ever trade in your heritage and roots for another person’s culture! Whether you’re Black, White, Asian, Latino, Indian, Aborigine, or from the chilliest places of Arctartica, your heritage, culture, and roots define and make you who you are.

Hence, like Davido is always quick to do, you must cherish and be proud of it wherever you go!

He is a shining beacon in this age where many people don’t seem to care about things like culture, roots, and heritage anymore, and he is one we believe should be well celebrated and hailed for his unique and commendable ways.

Odogwu David, you are doing well! Remain blessed always, Nwanne.

Davido’s love, passion, and unrelenting selflessness for his family is an example every home should show and teach their children from early childhood!

What do you think of the way Davido identifies with his roots and also stands solidly behind his family and relatives whenever they need him?

Crucial Questions Arise As Paris Police Chief Quits Over UEFA Champions League Final Show Of Shame!

The French government has ordered the replacement of the Chief of Paris Police, Didier Lallement, on July 21, 2022, following the conclusions of investigations into the horror show put up by his officers during the last UEFA Champions League final played at the Stade de Prince on May 28, 2022.

Chief of Paris Police, Didier Lallement, steps down today, July 21, 2022, following the horror show put up by his officers during the last UEFA Champions League final played at the Stade de Prince on May 28, 2022.

The iconic match between Spanish champions Real Madrid CF and English giants Liverpool FC was marred by terrible crowd violence before and after the finale.

Thousands of Liverpool fans were allegedly sprayed with tear gas, crushed, and denied entry into the stadium despite presently valid tickets for the event by the police.

This led to outrage and massive cries against the French government, football association, and police officers by millions of people who witnessed the horror worldwide.

Thousands of Liverpool fans were allegedly sprayed with tear gas, crushed, and denied entry into the stadium despite presently valid tickets for the event by the police.

Sadly for him, Didier initially blamed the chaos on Liverpool fans. Still, he later retracted his statements after a preliminary round of investigations into the matter revealed many facts in June 2022. He went on to say that the failure of his officers wounded him but that he is “the only one responsible” for all that happened.

According to reports, Didier sent a letter to his officers on July 20, 2022, where he reportedly stated that he was leaving his post with the chaos at the finale as the only stain on his three-and-a-half-year tenure.

Didier initially blamed the chaos on Liverpool fans but later retracted his statements after a preliminary round of investigations into the matter revealed many facts in June 2022.

“I’m still wounded from the failure of the Stade de France.

Certainly, that evening, we saved lives, but the reputation of the country was damaged. That the French flag has been sullied is a pain for me and a responsibility that I must assume,” he said.

Didier was reportedly due to retire from the Force ahead of his 66th birthday on August 27, 2022. Although there are attempts to play down his earlier exit as not being related to the debacle, we have a crucial question we would like to ask from our observations on this matter:

Didier was reportedly due to retire from the Force ahead of his 66th birthday on August 27, 2022. Yet, he chose to resign now because of the shame of the failure under his watch.

(1) Will Nigeria ever experience a time when a public officer would take responsibility for the ineptitude and gross failure on his watch and honorably resign?

It’s almost like every Nigerian government official takes an oath never to be responsible for their actions as they assume office because it is just inexplicable!

With all the kidnappings and abductions, ambushes and slaughtering of soldiers, daring attacks on prison facilities, airports, trains, and complete closures of major interstate highways by armed bandits and terrorists, not one of President Muhammadu Buhari or any of the so-called security chiefs he appointed has ever shown a trace of such integrity!

Nothing has ever been as terrible as it is in every sector of the Nigerian economy. Yet, President Buhari and his cohorts would rather swallow a porcupine than admit their incompetence and resign.

Didier could have insisted on staying and seeing out his tenure scheduled to end in August, yet he chose to resign now because of the shame of the failure under his watch.

The final question now is: Do these so-called leaders and government officials in Nigeria have any iota of shame, integrity, and dignity?

Sad Realities As US VP Kamala Harris Laments That Black Families Need To Hang Pictures Of White Friends To Boost Home Values

The American Vice President Kamala Harris recently disclosed to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that black families reportedly “encourage” white friends to hang photos of themselves in their homes during appraisals so the values of their homes can be boosted.

In her speech, VP Harris said: “We are hearing the cases of, for example, a black family trying to sell their home, and they get the appraisal and they just know it is not the true value of their home.

And so you’ve heard the stories about how they’ll then encourage friends of the family — a white family — to come in. And then the white family will put the pictures up of their family. And then that appraisal gets done, and it’s for a much higher value. Same house. Same neighborhood.

It is because of a clear history of segregation, restrictive covenants and redlining that long denied black homeowners the opportunity to take full advantage of the wealth-building power of homeownership. That inequity continues today in the home appraisal system.”

The American Vice President Kamala Harris recently disclosed that black families “encourage” white friends to hang photos of themselves in their homes so the values can be boosted.

According to a report released in August 2020, many companies were reportedly violating the Fair Housing Act by under-appraising the homes of Black families.

A popular anti-discrimination change agent, Abena Horton, also shared her similar experience on her website recently. According to Abena, the value of her home shot up by over $166,000 after she and her white husband removed all their family pictures in the house and had the man alone stay in the house when realtors came for another appraisal.

This reports point to a very sad fact that Black segregation and racism against the Black race doesn’t look like it’s going away any time soon, and sadly, even in the United States of America, too.

If the value of the same building can change by only placing a white person’s picture in it – without any structural upgrades and repairs done on it, then this is a serious problem that needs urgent resolution!

No matter the color of our skins, or any other physical, racial, religious, ethnic, or social differences, let us all learn to live as one and tolerate each other better.

A report released in August 2020 shows that many companies were reportedly violating the Fair Housing Act by under-appraising the homes of Black families.

Life is much better and sweeter lived with love instead of hate. Try it today, and you’ll be glad you did.

Two Unhealthy Things Every Family Must Get Rid Of To Ensure Lasting Unity In The Home

The family is considered as the smallest unit of every society, and the quality of each family and home in a community more than often defines the quality of everything in that environment.

Hence, building and raising a great, loving, faithful, diligent, honest, empathetic, and humane family is not good for yourself alone but for the entire world around you.

We all must get it right from this important foundational block of every society, and the surest way to do this is to raise quality children who are bonded in genuine love, respect, and support for one another.

How can you achieve this? While they are quite a few other factors and things to look out for and work on consistently, here are 2 things every family must eradicate to ensure that there is lasting peace, love, and unity in the home:

(1) Envy.

We cannot ignore or try to downplay the fact that sibling rivalry is a natural factor in virtually every home where there are two or more children.

However, we implore parents and guardians to do all they can to ensure that this rivalry is a healthy one where the children motivate and inspire one another in all they do. It shouldn’t be the type where they maliciously try to outdo me another in everything they’re involved in.

Such unhealthy rivalry breeds envy, and envy, when left unchecked to fester in a person’s heart, can breed terrible actions, including murder! Remember Cain and his brother, Abel?

(2) Bitterness, Malice, And Grudges.

Don’t ever have or encourage children that do not talk to one another because they got into an argument or fight.

Teach and train them from their very early days to never hold grudges with anyone and to never keep malice in their hearts. This way, they will live a life free of bitterness, which is the ultimate end-product of keeping malice and holding grudges against people.

Show your children and wards the way of love, and ensure that they know how vital and very expedient it is to their lives and existence, both as a family and as individuals, too.

When your home is built and raised on these principles and genuine love, the society, and indeed the whole world, around you, is blessed…and so are you, too!

Remain blessed always.

True Leaders Raise Men, Not Tear Them Down!

Good leaders are not afraid to let the spotlight fall on those behind them because they know that the growth of their followers is their glory! They give people behind the platforms avenues and opportunities to grow, shine, and continue to excel because they know that this is what true leadership is all about!

A true leader is always patient, tolerant, and always endures. A good leader should never be quick to give up on people. Instead, they should always be there to lift their followers when they fall and be quick to encourage them constantly.

As you go through life, too, in any situation you may be in today, stop looking down on yourself or believing you’re not worthy because of your past errors and flaws.

Never say: “I’m not good enough,” and stop thinking about what people would say about you. Stop hiding! You can do it! Nobody started perfectly in life. Practice makes perfection, and you will get better if you don’t quit because nobody is useless!

Don’t ever give up on yourself before trying. And, even if you don’t get it right the first time you try, keep at it and never quit. It can only get better, and you will continue to grow along till you attain perfection at it.

Also, never take any opportunities that come your way for granted! Prepare yourself always, and be ready to take your chances when they come along. Remember: Luck is defined as the situation when an opportunity comes to a prepared person.

The world calls it “luck,” but the universe sees otherwise. Be wise, prudent, and diligent in all you do!

Odogwu Tadeniawo Collins…you have started well and you can only continue to grow and get better. Remain blessed always.

Ana eji uche eme ihe!

Prof. Mgbeke loves you all ❤️

9 Very Bad Reasons To Want To Get Married – Key Things You Must Avoid!

Getting married can be a beautiful thing, except when the decision to marry is based on the
wrong reasons. Before you say “Yes, I do” to that person, are you sure you’re doing it for the right reasons? And do you also know that leadership starts from home?

Recent studies and statistics have proven that, all too often, many couples have decided to marry for the wrong reasons and are now stuck in miserable situations.

Sometimes, girls start feeling left out when their friends start getting married and fear that they may never get married. So, they hurriedly accept any proposal that comes their way, but, my dear – is he really the one for you?

If you decide to marry someone for the following reasons, you may end up paying a huge price in the long run. Be careful and consider things thoughtfully and thoroughly about why you want to get married.

God has a perfect love story for you – don’t mess it up by deciding to marry someone that is not the right one for you. If you are honest with yourself, you will know if this one is the right one for you or not.

If you see yourself in any of these nine reasons listed below, take your time to work through each problem area before you say, “I Do.”

1. You want to get married because everyone else is getting married. It’s not a competition! Do not be in a hurry to jump into marriage; else, you will soon jump out of it hurriedly, too.

2. You want to get married because you are afraid to be alone. My dear, there is an emptiness inside you that needs to be filled by God. Until you’re comfortable and fulfilled being alone, you can’t feel otherwise living with someone else! You have to be single and whole.

3. You want to get married because you want someone to support you. You want to use the man or woman to find your bearings and establish yourself. If you’re getting into marriage to take, that’s parasitic, wrong, and very unfair to your partner.

4. You want to get married to get out of your parents’ house. Guess what, though? After running away from your parents’ house, you have fulfilled the wrong reason, and you will pay a steep price.

5. Do you want to get married because you are pregnant? The fact that you are pregnant does not mean you should consolidate the mistake by making another one! They might not be the right person for you, so don’t rush into a permanent arrangement because of a temporary setback and situation.

6. You want to get married to make someone jealous. Marriage is not a tool for fighting, my dear – please grow up!

7. You want to get married because you are simply dying to plan your dream wedding. Magnifying your wedding at the expense of the marriage itself is too bad and silly to do.

8. You want to get married because you are desperate to be a bride, wear a beautiful dress, open lots of presents, and go on a dream honeymoon. Hmmm…the question is: What then becomes of you afterward?

9. You want to get married because you want to feel special. This is another childish reason, and it is also not good at all.

Far too many times in our politically correct world, our family, friends, and other people we know fail to share important truths that need to be shared. Someone may instinctively know that you are marrying for the wrong reasons but won’t tell you anything because they don’t want you to be mad at them.

Perhaps they don’t want to create a rift in their relationship with you, so they remain silent.

Whatever you do, please do not marry wrongly – the pain and regret are unparalleled!
