Kaduna businessman drags ex fiancee’s father to court, demands dowry refund A businessman, Nasiru Dayyabu, on Wednesday, dragged the father of his ex-fiance, Mallam Sani Direba, to Shari’a Court II sitting at Magajin Gari, Kaduna over N260,000 dowry. The complainant had joined Direba in the suit against two brothers demanding a refund of N250, 000 dowry and N10,000 introduction money he paid to marry his daughter. Represented by his counsel, Mr Sani Sunusi, the complainant told the court that he sent his people from Karaye, Kano State to Kaduna in 2025, to seek for the defendant’s daughter’s hand in marriage. “We paid the dowry and the introduction money (kudin gausuwa) and were waiting for them to set a date for the wedding,” he said. “Unfortunately, the lady’s father called to inform us that they have cancelled the marriage.” The counsel said the complainant had asked for the refund of his money since Sept. 2025 but all the efforts he made proved abortive.

 The survival mentality of Nigerians is a curse - Mr Macaroni 


Activist and actor, Mr Macaroni, has asserted that the average Nigerian's survival mentality and mindset is a curse and not a blessing.


The comic voiced his stance during a recent interview with media personality, Biola Adebayo, stressing that the 24-hour hustling spirit is not something to be proud of. Mr Macaroni noted that Nigerians are too quick to accept everything thrown their way.


"What I have noticed about Nigerians? Our survival mentality. We think it is a blessing but it is a curse. The average Nigerian is a survivor, it is in our system we always find a way to make it work. A person who didn't have money to go to work the day before would make it to work somehow, they may not know how but they would eventually. A person who doesn't know how they would eat would somehow eat."


Pointing at the status quo and how challenging situations are often shrugged off in a heart-lighted manner, the actor further said, "We always play about it like 'I'm a Nigerian, I will survive,' 'If you can survive in Nigeria you can survive anywhere' and it's not something to be proud of. It's a curse because that way anything that comes our way, we would accept it and move on! If the dollar goes up or anything goes bad we would move on. Why? Because by instinct and by default we just want to survive so we never know when it's enough," said the actor.


He ended his train of thought by challenging Nigerians, "So I ask Nigerians 'When would we stop surviving and start living? What is the average lifespan of a Nigerian?'


"We are always stressed and we are comfortable because we feel like that is part of the hustle and we must survive"
