A Nigerian lawyer has stirred conversation on X (Twitter) after revealing a shocking truth about photo ownership.

She started by saying that the wedding album or pictures people spend millions on doesn’t legally belong to them.

“That wedding picture you’re about to spend millions on tomorrow? Hate to break it to you, it’s not legally yours.” She wrote.

According to her, under the copyright law, the photographer, not the client, owns full rights to any image they take. Expect there’s a written agreement transferring copyright to the client.

She went on to state that, Your wedding album, your birthday shoot, even your fine graduation pictures do not belong to you.

The lawyer explained that when clients pay photographers, they’re often only paying for limited usage rights, like printing or posting on social media, not full ownership.

Which means the photographer retains the right to reuse, publish, or even sell the photos, including your private moments.

Her tweet quickly sparked a debate on the microblogging platform, leaving internet users flooding her comment section with their thoughts.

Below are some of the comments,

“Thanks for this. So my wedding pictures are not mine, I never balance my photographer’s sef. He can keep it.”

“Pls, what about I use my own camera and equipment but employ only the services of the photographer…does that make it my property?”

“We tell them every day, they doubt it. I almost sued a client who was forcefully trying to take my raw files.”

“What you paid for is access, not ownership. Unless copyright is transferred, the photographer holds the rights.”

A 40-year-old man from Hapur, Uttar Pradesh, has undergone a five-hour surgery after doctors discovered 29 steel spoons, 19 toothbrushes, and two pens inside his stomach.

The man was rushed to Devnandani Hospital on September 17, complaining of severe stomach pain, vomiting, and weakness.

The medical imaging stunned the surgical team led by Dr. Shyam Kumar, who described the case as one of the most unusual he has ever seen.

Officials revealed the man had been admitted to a de-addiction center in Ghaziabad about a month prior.

Frustrated and angry after being left at the facility by his family, he began swallowing everyday objects, including spoons and toothbrushes taken from the center.

Many of the items had been broken into pieces before ingestion, increasing the risk of serious internal injury.

Following the surgery, doctors suspect the man may suffer from pica disorder, a rare psychiatric condition characterized by the compulsive consumption of non-food items.

He is currently recovering and will undergo a psychiatric evaluation to address underlying mental health issues.

Below are some of the reactions;

“Him for swallow him house, pots and fry pans, not only spoons and brushes”

“Ah! Shey, you no go like swallow diffuser and duvet??? What about spicy Room and linen spray?”

“God no just share this luck thing dogba, na ordinary fish bone send some people go heaven! Just look at this lucky dude.”

“It is a mental disorder called pica, which comes from long-term untreated of OCD or schizophrenia.”

In a tweet that has sparked debate online, X (Twitter) influencer Amber has opened up about her difficult experience with her family.

She had advised via a tweet that people should not consider putting family first, but instead, they should look after themselves first.

She wrote,

“Whatever you are doing in life, please don’t consider family first because mine almost rendered me useless. I know what has been going through my mind over the past month. Always look after yourself first and do the little you can for your family.”

Amber’s message resonated with many who have struggled with complicated family dynamics, but it also drew criticism from followers who felt she was generalizing.

One follower responded,

“You generalizing and making it seem everyone’s family is possibly like yours is where the issues are, for those who still have good ones to hold onto? Do not listen to this! Good morning to you, Amber, and I hope you someday find peace from the hurt your own family’s done to you.”

Amber replied, acknowledging different perspectives while standing by her experience.

“I believe most of us experience even more, but don’t have a way to voice out. I understand how you feel about my opinion, but it is just how I feel.”

The post has since continued to spark mixed reactions, with many sharing their own experiences about family and self-care.

An Influencer on X (Twitter) has sparked reactions online after he disclosed that a man he offered financial help to lost all the money to betting.

According to his tweet, the man whom he had never met reached out to him on the platform, claiming he needed a small push to grow his business and promised to repay the money on an agreed date.

He also claimed his wife had recently undergone a cesarean section, a fabricated sob story that the influencer believed at the time.

Moved by the plea, the influencer said he transferred ₦2.2 million to the man, expecting him to invest it in the stated business.

However, he later discovered that the entire sum had been squandered on betting.

The man has since reportedly pleaded for forgiveness, while his wife offered to repay the money at 100,000 per month.

The influencer said he has handed the matter over to the authorities for resolution and lamented that the experience has made him skeptical of online requests for financial assistance.

Below are some reactions;

“Werey said money is with BetKing.”

“The audacity and sheer wickedness! Reeks of ‘do your worst’“

“This is terrible. I have a story to share, too. But not today, most of these online help don’t end well. Made me realize a lot of people don’t necessarily need money to grow, they just have the wrong habit, the reason they are financially static.“
