A woman has taken to social media to share an experience after she and her husband reportedly found a baby abandoned outside their residential compound.

In a video posted on TikTok, the woman explained that the discovery was made while she was on her way to her husband’s shop.

According to her, they were leaving the house when they noticed a baby who had been left in front of their compound. The unexpected sight left them concerned as they tried to understand how the child ended up there.

In the video, a man believed to be her husband could be heard expressing disbelief over the situation.

He said: “How can they leave…….. Na him people dey find pikn dem con throwaway am.”

The woman could also be heard lamenting in the background as she reacted to the discovery.

Sharing the video online, she questioned how anyone could abandon a child in such a manner.

She captioned the post:

“Some women are heartless weytin i won do now.”

A mother has shared how a difficult divorce, combined with the pressure of raising three children and working full-time, led her to notice serious changes in her health and appearance.

The woman, Kristina Hamilton, explained that during this period of intense stress, she began experiencing joint pain and difficulty swallowing. At first, she assumed it was simply exhaustion and emotional strain from everything she was dealing with at the time.

She described how the condition slowly began to affect her body in ways she could not ignore.

She said: “The invasion it was having on my body was relentless

“In medical terms, what I’ve got is a rare and chronic autoimmune disease.

“In my terms, it’s a glitch in the system.

“When my symptoms first started, I honestly thought it was stress and exhaustion.

“At the time, I was going through so much.

“I just ignored it.

“And, I didn’t want to believe something serious was wrong.

“Even when my body started changing, and the pain became harder to ignore, I still tried to push through it because that’s what I’ve always done in life.

“But, deep down, I knew something didn’t feel right.”

After medical evaluation in 2022, she was diagnosed with diffuse systemic scleroderma, a rare autoimmune condition that affects the skin and internal organs.

She described the moment as overwhelming, saying the medical explanation did little to capture what living with the illness actually feels like.

“I had no idea what the condition meant for me – until it started to steal my life.

“As things got worse, I became scared and confused.

I remember looking down at my hands when they started to turn white and feeling confused because I had never seen anything like it before.

“I tried to convince myself it was poor circulation or maybe I was just cold.

“They didn’t feel like my own anymore.

“And then when my teeth started falling out, it was devastating.

“I felt like I was losing parts of myself piece by piece.

“Every time I looked in the mirror, I saw someone I didn’t recognise anymore.”

She added that the changes to her appearance made her avoid taking photos and made everyday social interactions more difficult.

She said: “My hands, once capable of providing medical care to others, began curling into a claw-like position.

“They were frozen and painful.

“I’ve watched helplessly as my weight has dropped to the point where I look like a skeleton.

“Eating is less about hunger now, as I’m not hungry.

“When my appearance began to change, I noticed people reacting differently to me.

“Some stared without realising, while others looked away quickly because they didn’t know what to say.

“There were moments that hurt deeply; whispers, uncomfortable looks and even comments that made me feel self-conscious about changes I couldn’t control.

“I’ve had people assume I was contagious and speak about me with pity instead of understanding.

“It’s been painful, because behind the disease, I’m still the same person.

“I’m a mother, a wife, a friend and someone trying to live life fully.”

Kristina also reflected on the emotional and financial toll of the illness, noting that she had to stop working and adjust to a life filled with uncertainty, fatigue, and ongoing health challenges.

She said learning that the condition was incurable and potentially life-threatening was one of the hardest moments she has ever faced, especially as it affects vital organs and has no clear progression timeline.

Despite everything, she shared that she has chosen to focus on gratitude and the relationships she still has.

Kristina met her now husband, Chris, 44, shortly before her diagnosis. Although she was not searching for a relationship at the time, she said his support came when she needed it most.

As her condition progressed and her appearance changed, he remained by her side and helped her adjust to the uncertainty.

The couple became engaged in May 2024, aware of the urgency brought on by her health situation.

In April 2025, they officially got married in a ceremony supported by Wish Upon a Wedding, a non-profit organization that helped fund their special day.

A woman has touched many hearts online after sharing her personal experience and encouraging women to choose kind partners when getting married.

In a post on X, the woman recounted a difficult period in her life after she was involved in a gas explosion that left both of her legs badly burned. Due to the injuries, she was unable to walk for several days and depended heavily on her husband for support.

According to her, her husband stepped up in every way possible despite not knowing how to cook. Whenever she felt hungry, he made sure food was readily available by ordering meals for her before she even had to ask.

She also revealed that he went out of his way to find remedies that could aid her recovery. After hearing that aloe vera could help soothe burns, he returned home with aloe vera gels and potted aloe vera plants. The following day, he arranged for a large bottle of honey to be delivered after learning that it might also help with burn treatment.

When she asked about the cost, her husband reportedly told her not to worry about the expense, stressing that her healing and well-being were more important than the money spent.

The woman further shared an emotional moment that occurred during her recovery. One night, she woke up needing to use the bathroom while her husband was asleep in his workspace after a long day of work. Unable to get his attention, she painfully dragged herself to the bathroom. During the process, she accidentally soiled herself and became overwhelmed with emotion.

Her crying eventually woke her husband, who immediately rushed to her side. Rather than expressing frustration, he apologized for not hearing her call, comforted her, cleaned up the situation, and reassured her while she was in tears.

She wrote: “Marry a kind man o… 

I was involved in a gas explosion that had both legs burned. Both my legs were bandaged and for days I couldn’t walk. 

My husband doesn’t know how to cook but before I said I was hungry, he would have ordered food. 

One day he came home with two different pure aloe Vera extract gels and two pots of the aloe Vera plant. He said he heard that aloe Vera helps to heal burns.. 

The next day someone delivered a big bottle of honey .. my husband said. Another person told him honeys was good for burns but most honey they sold were fake so he ordered some from a vendor in the village that harvests the honey by herself… I asked how much he bought it.. he said it was expensive but I shouldnt worry, my healing was his priority . 

On one of those days I couldn’t walk, I woke up in the midnight and needed to pee, my husband had worked till very late at night so he slept off in his work space. I called for him to come carry me but he couldn’t hear me, so I dragged myself to the bathroom in pain when I got back to the bed I had peed a little on myself and cleaning up without being able to walk or stand felt impossible… I immediately started to cry… my crying woke my husband up and he rushed into the room asking if I was okay… he kept apologizing for sleeping off in his work space while cleaning me up and cleaning my tears… 

When a man is unkind he knows he is unkind. A kind man will never hold back or give excuses.

A parent has taken to Facebook to seek advice on how to address a sleeping habit he has noticed in his daughter.

In a post shared on the social media platform, the man, identified as Enubuzor Chukwudi, expressed concern about the way his daughter sleeps, stating that she often spreads her legs widely while asleep.

According to him, he has made several attempts to correct the habit but has not seen any improvement. He explained that whenever he tries to adjust her sleeping position by closing her legs, she reopens them moments later.

Seeking opinions from other Facebook users, he wrote:

“How do I stop my daughter from spreading her legs so wide while sleeping? I have tried several times to correct her, yet there is no positive result. Once you close her legs, she will open them again within seconds. Is the sleeping pattern good? I do not like it.”

Many Nigerians took to the comment section to share their opinions on the matter.

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has arrested a 21-year-old man, Soliu Olarewaju Mujeeb, in connection with the alleged kidnapping and killing of a 60-year-old electrical technician, Mr. Olarewaju Olusegun Afolabi, in Ilorin, Kwara State.

The State Commandant, Commandant Abbas Nda Mohammed, disclosed the development while briefing journalists at the NSCDC Command Headquarters in Ilorin on June 14, 2026.

According to a statement issued by the command’s spokesperson, Ayoola Michael Shola, the victim left his residence on June 7, 2026, to inspect an electrical installation project but failed to return home, prompting concern among family members.

After several unsuccessful attempts to reach him, the case was reported to the NSCDC Tracking Unit on June 11.

Shortly after his disappearance, members of the victim’s family reportedly began receiving ransom demands of N2 million from his mobile phone.

The family later paid N120,000 following instructions allegedly given by the caller.

The NSCDC said intelligence-led investigations, including digital tracking and analysis of financial transactions linked to the victim’s account, eventually led operatives to the suspect.

During interrogation, the suspect reportedly confessed to the crime and admitted that he knew the deceased, having previously worked with him as an assistant in electrical installation services.

According to investigators, the suspect disclosed that a disagreement between him and the victim led to a personal grudge.

He allegedly lured the technician to an uncompleted building in the Kangile, Kunlende area of Ilorin under the pretense of inspecting a new electrical project.

The suspect further confessed to attacking and killing the victim before taking possession of his mobile phone and SIM card, which were allegedly used to contact the victim’s family and demand ransom.

During the investigation, the suspect reportedly led security operatives to the scene, where a shallow grave believed to contain the victim’s remains was discovered.

Authorities also recovered the victim’s mobile phone and SIM card from the suspect’s possession.

The NSCDC stated that investigations are still ongoing and that the suspect will be handed over to the appropriate authorities for further action upon completion of preliminary inquiries.

Commandant Abbas Nda Mohammed reassured residents of Kwara State of the agency’s commitment to protecting lives and property, urging members of the public to continue providing timely and credible information to security agencies.

Edo-based pastor Caleb Adavize Phili has recounted his traumatic experience after regaining freedom from kidnappers who allegedly demanded N50 million for the release of him and his family members.

The pastor took to social media to share photos of himself, his mother, and his sister receiving medical attention following their release.

According to him, the kidnappers held them for several days and subjected them to harsh conditions while negotiations for their freedom were ongoing.

Phili said they endured physical and emotional suffering, including long treks through difficult terrain, insect bites, exposure to harsh weather conditions, and constant threats to their lives.

Reflecting on the ordeal, he described kidnapping as one of the worst experiences anyone could face.

He wrote:

“I can’t forget this in a hurry, how we were kidnapped, myself, wife and sis for days and they were demanding for 50 million naira.

“The worst prayer you could pray for your enemies is for them to be kidnapped, yes, that’s the highest.

“The psychological trauma, the fear, the torture, rain, sun, insect bites, the trekking, the threat to life with ammunition, the huge amount being paid and many more. Lord save our nation. Thank you Jesus for our life.”

Hollywood actor Kiefer Sutherland has been sued by an Uber driver who alleges he was threatened and assaulted during a ride earlier this year.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the driver, Rafael Manvelyan, 24, claims the incident occurred on January 12 when he picked up the actor.

Manvelyan alleged that Sutherland appeared intoxicated during the ride and became increasingly aggressive after communication difficulties arose due to language barriers.

He stated that the actor, who he claims speaks limited English and is more fluent in Russian and Armenian, became “hostile, aggressive, and confrontational” during the trip.

In the lawsuit, the driver alleged that Sutherland verbally abused him and later physically attacked him while he was driving.

He further claimed that the actor repeatedly struck him “with closed fists” on the head, face, neck, and upper body, and later placed him in a chokehold while threatening to k!ll him.

According to Manvelyan, he managed to escape the vehicle and ran away, but the actor allegedly chased him while shouting, “I’m going to k!ll you.”

The driver also stated that his dashcam captured parts of the alleged assault, and that witnesses observed portions of the incident.

Following the confrontation, Manvelyan reported injuries to his head, face, neck, spine, and shoulder. Responding officers reportedly observed visible bruising and swelling on his forehead.

His attorney, Mitra Sabouri, told TMZ:

“Mr. Manvelyan is a private citizen who did not seek public attention. He filed this action to pursue legal remedies for the injuries and damages he alleges he suffered.

Out of respect for his privacy, we are not releasing the dashcam footage, and we will allow the facts and evidence to be addressed through the court process.”

The driver is suing for assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligence, and is seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.

Popular TV personality Alison Hammond has left fans amazed after showing off her impressive weight-loss transformation during a recent television appearance.

Alison looked radiant in a leopard-print dress, which she paired with black flats and gold bangles, while styling her hair in tight curls.

The presenter was joined by her co-host, Dermot O’Leary, who couldn’t help but compliment her appearance.

“But when I’m at home, I’ll go and have a session with her in the morning, just an hour. It might be four days a week.”

Describing how exercise has helped her, Alison added:

“You feel absolutely incredible after it. I really need a good stretch – so Reformer Pilates has been brilliant for me.

“I also do this early-morning circuit class from the brilliant Steve Hensel at Blue Zone. I’ll go at 6.30am and do a full hour, it’s a proper old-school gym.”
