Ozoro is trending because in the name of tradition, youths are allegedly ra/ping and harrassing girls in broad daylight in Isoko, Delta State. In a disturbing video a girl was caught, stripped and her panties paraded like a trophy. Apparently, 19th March was set to worship the Aluedo Deity, and women were advised to stay indoors from 5pm till dawn. But somehow passionate youths began the rituals from 12pm, a lot of females didn’t get the memo particularly around Oruamudhu of Isoko North. “Rape Festival” is what they call it. Locals have also reported that as it got darker, they switched from assault to ra)pe. Only women who were with men or were recognized by a man in the mob escaped the assault. Students suffered the most as some of the youths allegedly purposely patrolled female hostel areas hoping for a prey. Nigerians are condemning it, but locals argue that tradition is tradition and the girls were warned. This story will be updated. Follow @TrendingEx for daily explanations!

Aunty Esther is trending because Jehovah Witness have now ‘updated’ their laws on blood transfusions, 3-months after her death. — It is not what you think. [Full] The update leaked on Reddit, but got deleted. It says, a person can now decide for themselves how they want their blood to be used in medical and surgical procedures. Meaning that their blood can be removed, stored and given back to them when needed. Essentially, they now support blood transfusion, but it must be your own blood. (autologous blood transfusion) Actually it is not a ‘new’ law. It has always been like this, and it was emphasized in the October 15th, 2000 edition of The Watchtower; that a person can decide how their blood is handled during medical procedures. This is the reason procedures such as blood test, dialysis, heart-lung machine use etc are allowed. Has anything changed? No. JW is only reminding and clarifying for the new generation of worshippers. So, unless you have your blood saved in a bank, you would still be stranded, thus the Aunty Esther situation won’t really have changed. 38yr-old Aunty Esther the popular online shopper lost her life in December 2025 over complications from breast cancer and her refusal for chemotherapy which would have needed blood top-ups. Twitter donated ₦30.7M for her to cover the treatments but she decided against transfusion, and died weeks later. Now twitter is saying, she could have survived if only she waited a bit longer. — She wouldn’t have. Apparently, Jehovah’s Witness forbids blood transfusions. Essentially because in the Old Testament God told the Israelites not to eat blood because it is sacred. Leviticus 17:10–14 “God commanded Israel not to consume blood because “the life of the flesh is in the blood.” And Acts 15:28–29 “Abstain from blood.” And Genesis 9:4 “Do not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.” In essence, they believe transfusing blood = consuming blood, just through the veins instead of the mouth. And it’s a disobedient to God and a moral sin. This policy was introduced in 1945 by the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society. But it didn’t forbid blood transfusions. Until 1950’s when the church banned blood totally and then 1961 when they officially made blood transfusion a punishable offense. — disfellowship, ostracism, expulsion from the church. But apparently this was revised as apparent in the 2000 WatchTower. Am official confirmation of the leaked update could be confirmed by Friday.
