NAPTIP premieres movie on plight of trafficked persons

The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) on Wednesday in Abuja premiered a movie titled “Pound of Heart” on the plight of victims of trafficking.
Speaking to newsmen after unveiling the film, the Director-General of the agency, Dr Fatima Waziri-Azi, said that the movie was released in celebration of the 2022 World human trafficking day which comes up on Saturday.
Waziri-Azi said that NAPTIP would partner with sister agencies, CSOs and NGOs to move the movie into YouTube channels where Nigerians can watch it.
”With this film, many Nigerians particularly young ones who are desirous of going abroad for greener pastures by whatever means will learn a lesson of two.
“We hope to reach millions of people every day with the message that they should be vigilant.
“We are hoping when schools resume, we will have the opportunity to show this movie to them.
“Just like what was shared during the panel discussion, you find people trafficked out for cultural purposes, sporting activities underlining the reasons why they are taken out of the country, including for organ removal.
“The trafficking in person Prohibition and Enforcement Act, Section 20 criminalises any form of trafficking,” Waziri-Azi said.
She said NAPTIP has not recorded any case targeting punishment for organ trafficking/harvesting but called on Nigerians to caution in order not to fall, victim.
The director-general stated that NAPTIP has speculations about organ trafficking and that a lot of families had come to report issues to the agency, but the agency was still doing an investigation about that.
She added that on organ trafficking, the agency would need to do an autopsy report to be sure that what was alleged was the real sense of the crime, and to have evidence of what the agency does.
Waziri-Azi who described poverty as the root cause of migration in whatever form, called on Nigerians to always asked questions whenever they are been promised of travelling overseas.
She admonished them to always get the right information before they embark on such a journey.

“I Have Social Anxiety” — BBNaija Housemate Dede Opens Up Amid Criticism

Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemate, Dede, has revealed her struggle with social anxiety following criticisms from fellow contestants who described her as a “snub.”
Dede’s reserved nature has sparked controversy in the house, especially her refusal to hug male housemates, which some interpreted as unfriendly or aloof.
In a candid conversation with fellow housemate Koyin, Dede opened up about her mental health challenge.
“Do you have social anxiety?” she asked Koyin.
Koyin replied, “No, do you?”
“Yes, I do,” Dede answered.
Koyin then reassured her not to be overly concerned about how others perceive her, adding that “such is life.”
During her first diary session with Biggie, Dede had described herself as an introvert who “doesn’t like people.” She also offered clarity on her decision not to hug other housemates, saying it stemmed from the fact that she didn’t know them before the show.
Dede’s admission has since sparked conversations on social media about mental health awareness and the importance of respecting personal boundaries.

“Davido Is Nigeria’s Most Influential – Manager Asa Asika Insists”

Asa Asika, manager of Afrobeats superstar Davido, has declared that the singer is the most influential person in Nigeria.
Speaking during a recent appearance on the Zeph podcast, the renowned talent manager stood by his belief, despite ongoing debates and differing opinions in the entertainment industry and among fans.
“Davido is mad influential. I don’t care what anybody says, I think Davido is the most influential person in Nigeria. I have seen it firsthand,” Asika said.
Davido, the head of DMW (Davido Music Worldwide), is currently the most followed Nigerian across major social media platforms, a metric often cited by fans to support claims of his dominance in the digital space.
However, the debate over who holds the most real-world and online influence among Nigeria’s top music exports—Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy—has remained a hot topic for years, with each artiste commanding a fiercely loyal fanbase.
Asika’s statement is expected to reignite the conversation, particularly among fans of the three Afrobeats giants.

“If me as a girl can rock Presidential Rolex, why can’t you?”
The post has since generated mixed reactions on social media, with fans and critics weighing in on Bobrisky’s high-end preferences and controversial take on UK men.
