CALIFORNIA CITY APPROVES LEGAL RECOGNITION OF THREESOMES, FOURSOMES AND OTHER MULTI-PARTNER RELATIONSHIPS

Image
West Hollywood, a city in Los Angeles County, California, has unanimously approved an ordinance allowing people in polyamorous relationships, including throuples and foursomes, to register as domestic partners. The ordinance, introduced by Mayor John Heilman, was passed by the city council on Tuesday and allows three or more people in committed relationships to officially register their partnerships with the city. Under the new law, registered partners will enjoy certain protections, including hospital visitation rights, recognition by healthcare facilities and city-operated jails, as well as additional housing protections. The measure also prevents landlords from terminating or refusing to renew a tenancy simply because a registered partner remains in the rented property. However, the ordinance does not grant multi-partner relationships the same legal rights and benefits enjoyed by married couples or traditional domestic partners. To qualify, participants must mutually con...

Lere Olayinka, an aide to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has argued that Nigeria has made progress compared to previous decades, urging Nigerians, particularly members of the younger generation, to stop portraying the country as though things have never been this difficult. Speaking during an interview on AIT News, Olayinka recalled how his parents struggled to pay as little as ₦20 in school fees when he was in secondary school, explaining that the amount later increased to ₦40, which they still found difficult to afford. He said, “My parents could not get ₦40 that time. It was so difficult. They would tell us that things are bad.” He further argued that the purchasing power of money should not be judged merely by comparing figures from different periods, insisting that earning money was difficult even when prices were considerably lower. “Because that ₦40 you are talking about, the same effort you made then, where will you get the ₦40 the...

I WAS ONCE A TAXI DRIVER IN AMERICA - PRESIDENT TINUBU

Image
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in a statement has described his time working in the United States as a young man and linked those experiences to his administration’s student loan programme.

DEMOCRATS TAKE CONTROL OF U.S CONGRESS AS TRUMP SUFFERS MAJOR ELECTION DEFEAT

Image
Democrats have secured control of both the US House of Representatives and Senate after defeating several Republican candidates in a major electoral upset, dealing a significant blow to President Donald Trump. The victory gives Democrats the power to block Trump’s legislative agenda, investigate his administration over alleged corruption and challenge his policies during the final two years of his presidency. The election results reportedly reflected growing public dissatisfaction with the rising cost of living, tariffs and Trump’s war against Iran, which has contributed to soaring fuel prices. Democrats recorded major victories in traditionally Republican states, including Kansas, Iowa, Texas, South Carolina, North Carolina and Ohio. In Kansas, Methodist minister Adam Hamilton defeated Republican incumbent Roger Marshall, becoming the first Democrat elected to represent the state in the Senate since 1932. In Iowa, Democrats also secured a Senate victory, marking their firs...

"WE CAN'T FIND ENOUGH PRIVATE JETS TO HIRE FOR OUR CAMPAIGNS" - SENATE PRESIDENT AKPABIO LAMENTS

Image
Senate President Godswill Akpabio has lamented the difficulty he and other politicians preparing for the 2027 general elections are facing in hiring private jets for their campaign activities. Akpabio blamed the situation on the inability of private airline operators in Nigeria to meet the growing demand for air travel. He made the remarks during Tuesday’s plenary while lawmakers debated a motion seeking the enforcement of the Bilateral Air Services Agreement (BASA) between Nigeria and China. Using the December festive season to highlight the pressure on the aviation sector, Akpabio urged the Federal Government to address the challenges facing domestic airline operators. “Watch December and the confusion. Even the private airlines cannot handle it. Common campaigns, we cannot see even private jets to hire. We should at least be able to urge the federal government to look into that to alleviate the plight of airlines,” he said. The Senate President also recalled when Nigeria...

HIGH COST OF LIVING IN CANADA FORCES NIGERIAN FAMILY TO CONSIDER COMING BACK HOME AS FATHER STARVES FOR HIS FAMILY TO FEED

Image
A Nigerian man who moved his entire family to Canada in search of a better life is now regretting the decision after discovering that “the grass wasn’t greener on the other side.” According to a social media user who said he works with the man, his wage is only enough to cover his rent, whereas his income back home was enough to take care of the entire family. The user said the man spent his first few months in Canada “starving so his wife and kids could eat.” The social media user added that the man’s wife now has to work out of necessity instead of focusing on raising their children. He said both the man and his wife are distraught and regret moving to Canada but cannot afford to return because they spent their life savings relocating. The user described such experiences as common among newcomers, blaming what he called the Liberals’ “morally bankrupt policies.”

Shaibu made the challenge on Monday, October 26, 2026, during a live broadcast on RBN’s The Morning Edition.

IF YOU ARE WITH US, YOU MUST PAY YOUR 10% TITHE, LEAVE OLD TESTAMENT ALONE! WE HAVE CHURCH TO RUN AND THE ECONOMY IS TOUGH - APOSTLE HARRISON

Image
Apostle Harrison Ayintete has defended the collection of tithes in churches, insisting that members must contribute 10 per cent of their income to support the running of the church, rather than turning the practice into a debate about Melchizedek and the Old Testament. Speaking on the issue, the cleric argued that churches have financial responsibilities, including providing basic facilities and maintaining church activities. He said, “There is no scripture that says A church cannot give twenty percent or give thirty percent. If the early church could come together, And say we are selling our land and we are giving everything. So we can also come together and say we are doing ten percent” To buttress his point, he said “So let us leave Melchizedek out of the conversation. Leave Old Testament out of the conversation. Let us talk about it like we are talking about a barbing community. Or we are talking about hairdressing community. Or we are talking about estate community” “W...

INCREASE WORKERS' SALARIES - TUC REJECTS FG'S N70K TRANSPORT ALLOWANCE

Image
The Trade Union Congress (TUC) has urged the Federal Government to increase workers’ salaries without waiting for a fresh minimum wage negotiation, arguing that a permanent pay rise would offer more meaningful relief than the proposed ₦70,000 transport allowance.  Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday, TUC President Festus Osifo said salary increases and minimum wage negotiations were separate matters that could be handled independently.  Osifo recalled that the union had made its position clear during its National Administrative Council meeting on October 8, stressing that the government could intervene in workers’ financial difficulties without reopening minimum wage talks.  “You don’t need to negotiate minimum wage before government could intervene in the plight of workers, not at all,” he said.  According to him, minimum wage agreements can remain unchanged for years in some countries while governments still grant salary increa...
