The Concerned Citizens accused NNPCL of economic sabotage, questioning why it prioritizes foreign refiners over local production. They urged the government to buy from Dangote Refinery to save forex, strengthen the local economy, and reduce inflationary pressure instead of weakening the Na...

Veteran musician, Charles Oputa, better known as Charly Boy or Area Fada, has issued a strong warning to Nigerian celebrities, urging them to keep their private lives out of the public eye. This comes in the wake of the recent drama surrounding the divorce of popular musician, 2Face Idibia and his wife, Annie Macaulay. In a recent interview, Charly Boy expressed his concerns, saying; “I feel sorry for the couple (2Face and Annie Idibia). It’s unfortunate. But my advice would be, can we just keep our business private, away from the public?” “Social media has changed a lot but it’s up to the people, too. I’m not talking from a saintly perspective. I have had quarrels with my partner but we settle in the room privately.” “You don’t bring it outside to the public to settle. I think that’s wrong because if I were to stop leaving with my wife today, nobody would know about. I won’t make noise about it.”

By Ali Ibrahim Audu If there is any leader existing today with such attributes of selflessness, any one that is profoundly selfless and self-sacrificing as Sir Ahmadu Bello of Blessed memory, that person is definitely Hon. Abubakar Kabir Bichi Abubakar. Hon. Abubakar, to mention the least, has an ingrained selflessness, the type that was only exhibited by Sir Ahmadu Bello of blessed memory. None has been able to either imbibe or exhibit such quality after the departure from this world of the late Sage of Northern Nigeria, except this outstanding Parliamentarian. To Hon. Kabir Bichi committing to the needs of others by demonstrating personal sacrifice is synonymous to good governance, coupled with effective and efficient legislative representation. His political jurisdiction encompasses the entire country and his legacy of excellence, stretches far beyond the continent, exhibiting fresh and original humanism and godlike attributes. For instance, as the Chairman, House Committee on Works...

By Richard Onazi    Chibuike Rotimi the son of Amaechi is not a very happy man. He is queasy and beating about the bush. He is always unsure of his direction, always afraid of his destiny. He has failed in his usual vocation, committing political self-distraught this time, so he is an extremely very sad man.   Rotimi want to be heard once more, unfortunately, this time, he is no longer talking, he has lost his composure, and his followership and his political game is over.   This game he has been playing did not start from today. It is just that few people noticed, but those that noticed refused to do anything about it, but paid dearly for it.    Rotimi has been a betrayer all his life, he even betrayed his parents while in the womb. He is not just chronic but ardent, sophisticated and born-with-it betrayer.   It is said, and it is true, that Amaechi has a pathological attachment to betraying people. A senile attachment, a memory repression, dissociati...

It’s rare to see the Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele in public spaces; be it church programmes or social gatherings. In his over three decades of operating in the prophetic realm, the outings that this enigmatic man of God has attended can be counted on fingers.

This rare presence was experienced by the over 10,000 audience that attended Judah Mega Praise in Ibadan on Friday, 31st of January, 202...
