Why married men should stay away from female besties – Rita Edochie

Seasoned actress Rita Edochie recently voiced her strong opinions on the dynamics of marriage, particularly around married men maintaining close friendships with exes or other female friends.

According to Edochie, a married man’s only female best friend should be his wife, emphasizing the importance of loyalty and focus within the marriage.

She argued that if a man values his friendship with his ex, he should have stayed with her rather than committing to a new relationship.

Additionally, Edochie sent a clear message to single women who position themselves as “besties” to married men, cautioning that such relationships might blur boundaries and could even be viewed as stepping into “side chick” territory.

Speaking in pidgin, she wrote on Instagram: “The next thing now una go begin tok second wife matter. As a married man, you are busy keeping female besties. Your ex for that matter, if I talk now una go say Ijele you dey worry. Imagine going back to your vomit, if you love and value your relationship with your ex a lot, why didn’t you end up with her?

“Why drop her? Call her your ex, marry an entirely different woman. Then go back to relate with that same ex while still married to your wife?

“Have you thought about the mental and emotional stress it imposes on the women you lawfully wed? Hmmmmm. Just hmmm”

“Goat and yam no dey stay together simple. This was how that other one came in with the colleague and bestie format, why have a woman as your bestie or personal assistant? Listen as a married man, your only female bestie should be your wife.

“All these single ladies claiming besties to married men, all of una be side chicks to that man, you can’t be with him, locked up alone in one room and not do one or two, nothing person wan tell me biko.

“Stop deceiving yourselves, when she becomes your ex, move on and focus on your wife.

I”magine your ex visiting your matrimonial home to cook for you as a married man. haba na ment? Ndi ala, I am so angry right now”.

Gunmen kill two soldiers in Abia checkpoint attack

Early Wednesday morning, gunmen attacked an army checkpoint in Ekenobizi, a border community between Abia and Imo states, located in Umuopara, Umuahia South Local Government Area.

The assailants reportedly arrived around 6:18 a.m. in a white Lexus SUV (model 350/400) and launched an assault that resulted in the deaths of two soldiers.

A military source, who wished to remain anonymous, provided details of the incident but could not confirm the exact number of attackers involved.

Confirming the incident in a press release on Wednesday, Lieutenant Colonel Jonah Unuakhalu of the Joint Task Force South East Operation UDO KA said: “In the early hours of today, 13 November 2024, troops of the Joint Task Force South East Operation UDO KA, deployed at a checkpoint along the Umuahia – Owerri Road in Umuahia South Local Government Area of Abia State, came under attack by the irredentist group Indigenous People of Biafra and its armed affiliate, the Eastern Security Network.

“During the attack, the gallant troops were able to repel the assault, forcing the attackers to retreat in disarray with gunshot wounds, abandoning one Sienna and one Lexus Jeep used in the attack. However, in the ensuing firefight, two soldiers paid the supreme price.”

The Joint Task Force appealed to residents of the South East, particularly those in Abia State, for credible information to help track down the fleeing attackers and combat criminal elements in the region.

The force reiterated its commitment to protecting lives and property in line with global best practices and the rules of engagement.

94 arrested as task force raids Lagos rail corridor squatters

At least 94 illegal occupants and squatters along the railway corridor from Pen Cinema to Fagba were arrested by the Lagos State Taskforce in an early morning sting operation on Wednesday.

During the raid, substances suspected to be hard drugs—such as Indian hemp, colorado, and other harmful drugs—were seized, along with various weapons.

It was gathered that those arrested attempted to resist the task force’s actions.

In a statement, Director of Public Affairs, Gbadeyan Abdulraheem, confirmed that those arrested will face prosecution.

He added that the agency dismantled shanties and makeshift structures along the railway corridor, clearing a distance of some kilometers.

The Taskforce Chairman Adetayo Akerele explained that the eviction aimed to provide relief for residents around the Fagba, Agege, and Pen Cinema railway routes, following numerous complaints from the public about criminal activities in the area.

He noted that the squatting had violated environmental and sanitary regulations.

Akerele also highlighted the health and safety risks posed by the presence of squatters along the rail corridor.

He warned the evicted individuals not to return and assured residents and train passengers that regular patrols and surveillance would be conducted to prevent the re-establishment of shanties in the area.

“The rail tracks are not meant for habitation or the sale of narcotics. Anyone caught converting this place into a den of criminals or an area of residence will face severe consequences according to the law,” Akerele was quoted as saying.

Speaking on the raid, Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, disclosed that a locally fabricated short gun was recovered.

“94 suspects were arrested during the midnight operation; a locally fabricated short gun and several wraps of illicit substance suspected to be indian hemp, charm and a jack knife were recovered.

“The suspects will be charged to court accordingly,” Wahab stated in a post on X.
