News September 25, 2026 “I’m Not Part Of That Philosophy”: Abuja Lady Sparks Storm After Rejecting “Women Can Do It Better”, Says Men Should Carry Women’s Load

ABUJA — A Nigerian lady based in Abuja, identified by her Instagram handle @iamsimplynneka, has sparked a heated online debate after she publicly rejected the popular saying that “what a man can do, a woman can do better.”

In a viral Instagram post, the Abuja-based influencer said she does not belong to that school of thought. According to her, men should continue doing what they are capable of doing, and should even help carry part of what women do.

“For those women saying: what a man can do, a woman can do it better... I’m not a part of that philosophy at all,” she said.

“In fact, what a man can do, a man should continue doing it. If the man can even take a part of what the woman can do, he should carry. I’m not a part of that philosophy.”

The post has divided opinions online. Some users praised her for advocating partnership rather than competition between men and women. Others, however, criticised her, arguing that her comments reinforce traditional gender roles and undermine women’s capabilities.

As of the time of filing this report, @iamsimplynneka had not responded to the mixed reactions trailing her post.

Business News September 25, 2026 UK-Nigeria Property Wealth Strategist Dr Daniel Moses To Launch New Book, “Fractional Real Estate,” At The 7th Diaspora Africa Conference 2026

Abuja, Nigeria: Dr Daniel Moses, author, property educator and Founder and CEO of Property Wealth Corporation, will officially launch his new book, Fractional Real Estate: Democratising Property Wealth for Nigerians, Africans and the African Diaspora, during the 7th Diaspora Africa Conference 2026.

The official launch will take place on 15 October 2026 at the Afreximbank Trade Centre in Abuja. It will form part of the wider conference programme taking place from 11 to 18 October 2026 across Lagos, Abuja and Accra.

Held under the theme, “HOMECOMING: Bridging the Divide from Diaspora to Africa’s Future,” the conference will bring together leaders, investors, entrepreneurs and change-makers to explore how diaspora engagement, strategic partnerships and investment can contribute to Africa’s future.

Anchored in his signature message, “People. Property. Possibilities,” Dr Moses presents fractional real estate as a practical and structured pathway towards making property ownership and long-term wealth creation more accessible to Nigerians, Africans and members of the African diaspora.

The book addresses some of the financial, educational and structural barriers that have prevented many people from participating in property ownership. It introduces a framework built on three core pillars: Education, Community and Structure.

Speaking ahead of the launch, Dr Daniel Moses said:

“Property wealth should not be reserved for a privileged few. Fractional Real Estate is about democratising access and enabling Nigerians, Africans and members of the diaspora to participate in property ownership with knowledge, confidence and the right structure.”

Through the book, Dr Moses seeks to inspire a new generation to think beyond individual limitations and explore how collaboration, education and properly structured ownership can create wider access to property wealth.

The 7th Diaspora Africa Conference, focused on “People, Partnerships and a Prosperous Africa,” will provide a timely platform for conversations about diaspora capital, cross-border opportunities and sustainable economic development across Africa.

Events News September 23, 2026 To My Beloved Husband on His 40th Birthday

In joyful thanksgiving to Almighty God, we celebrate an exceptional man — Engr. Obioma Njoku — as he marks his 40th birthday on 24th September, 2026.

With immense joy and gratitude, I, Mrs. Ifeyinwa Njoku, together with our children — Jidenna, Urenna, Nesochi and Ihebusomma — join relatives, friends, well-wishers and associates across the globe to celebrate my beloved husband and the wonderful father of our children on this memorable occasion.

My love,

Today you turn 40, and I look at you with the same quiet wonder I felt the first time I saw you, only deeper now, richer, and more certain. My heart is full as I look at the man you are — the husband of my youth, the father our children are so blessed to call Dad, and the steady, loving presence who has shaped our home into something beautiful.

Forty years have shaped you into the man I am proud to call mine: steady, kind, responsible, and full of a quiet strength that makes the world feel safer simply because you are in it.

You have been my partner in the ordinary days and my anchor in the hard ones. You have celebrated my joys as if they were your own and carried my burdens without ever making me feel like a weight. In your presence, I have learned what it means to be truly known and still chosen, every single day.

Your humor softens the sharp edges of life. Your integrity reminds me of what matters. Your tenderness — especially the kind you show when no one else is watching — is what I treasure most.

Turning 40 is not an ending. It is a beautiful middle. It is the moment when a man stands tall in the life he has built, looks back with gratitude, and looks forward with purpose. You have already given so much of your time, your heart, and your steady presence, and still you give more.

I am grateful for every version of you I have known — as a husband, a father, and a hard worker — the young man I fell in love with, the partner who has walked beside me through seasons of growth and change, and the man you are still becoming.

May this new decade bring you the same warmth, respect, and deep affection you have so freely given. May your laughter stay easy, your spirit stay strong, and your heart stay open. And may you always know, beyond any doubt, that you are loved — not for what you do, but for who you are.

Happy 40th birthday, babe.

Here’s to you, to us, and to every year still waiting for us to fill with love.

With all my heart,

Your Absolute

News Politics September 23, 2026 Why Ireti Kingibe won’t return to senate – Wike

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has said Senator Ireti Kingibe will not return to the Senate in 2027, accusing the FCT lawmaker of failing to offer meaningful representation to residents of the nation’s capital.

Wike spoke on Tuesday while inspecting ongoing road projects in Abuja, in response to Kingibe’s allegation that the FCT Administration had obtained loans without securing the required approval of the National Assembly.

Kingibe had said in August that she had raised concerns with the Senate leadership over the FCT’s borrowings, insisting that she had never seen Wike appear before the National Assembly to seek approval for loans.

Responding, Wike said the allegation showed that the senator did not understand the process through which government borrowing is approved.

“There is no way you can go and take a loan without the approval of the national assembly. If you want to take a loan, you will include it in the budget and state that, in this aspect of the budget, the government will take out a loan,” he said.

The minister then turned to Kingibe’s political future, declaring that she would not return to the red chamber after the 2027 election.

“I don’t want to comment about her. She is already packing her things out. The people of the FCT have made their choice. They are going to support president Tinubu and Philip Aduda for senate,” Wike said.

Wike also criticised Kingibe’s record as an FCT senator, alleging that she had “failed in all ramifications” and had not delivered meaningful development to residents.

He argued that Kingibe’s focus should instead have been on whether borrowed funds were being properly applied to infrastructure projects and whether residents were benefiting from them.

“I thought she would criticise that I am doing nothing. So if her problem is that I took a loan, if I took a loan, I am using it to work. I thought her concern would have been: are we applying the loan to work for the interest of residents?” he said.

The loan dispute followed Kingibe’s claim that the FCT’s domestic debt had increased significantly since Wike became minister. Her position was based on information she said she obtained from the Debt Management Office covering August 2023 to March 2026.

The House of Representatives, however, has rejected the allegation that Wike breached the required borrowing procedures. Its Deputy Spokesman, Philip Agbese, said there was no evidence that the minister violated the relevant processes in financing FCT infrastructure projects.

Wike has previously backed former FCT senator Philip Aduda, who is seeking the senatorial seat currently held by Kingibe. The minister also linked Tuesday’s project inspection to the 2027 campaign period, saying residents could judge the administration by the infrastructure being executed across the territory.

He inspected ongoing work on the N1 road and other routes covering Tunga Madaki-Zuba and Kagini, saying completion of the projects would improve connectivity and economic activity in communities across the FCT.

Business News September 23, 2026 Dollar to Naira exchange rate today, September 23, 2026

The Nigerian naira is trading at different rates against the United States dollar across the official Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market (NFEM) and the parallel market on Wednesday, September 23, 2026.

The latest available data show that the naira strengthened to N1,327.78 per dollar at the NFEM on Tuesday, from N1,329.80 recorded on Monday.

The latest movement represents a N2.02 appreciation by the naira against the dollar on a day-to-day basis.

In the parallel market, the dollar was quoted at about N1,389 on Tuesday, down from N1,390 recorded the previous day.

The parallel-market rate puts the gap between the official NFEM rate and the street-market selling rate at about N61.22 per dollar.

At the parallel market rate of N1,389, customers buying $100 would need approximately N138,900, while $1,000 would cost about N1.389 million.

The exchange rate available to individuals and businesses may vary depending on the dealer, location, transaction size and prevailing market conditions.

The naira’s recent performance has come amid developments in Nigeria’s foreign exchange market, including changes in dollar liquidity and monetary policy.

The Central Bank of Nigeria has continued to monitor conditions in the foreign exchange market as the naira trades around the N1,300-per-dollar level at the official market. Reuters also reported in September that the naira had remained relatively stable, supported by central bank dollar sales and subdued import demand.

For Wednesday, September 23, the latest confirmed figures put the dollar at N1,327.78 at the NFEM and around N1,389 in the parallel market.

The rates could change during the day as demand and supply conditions shift across both markets.
