Image
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has criticised President Bola Tinubu over rising living costs, insecurity and poor police welfare, accusing him of celebrating Nigerians’ hardship. In a statement issued by Phrank Shaibu, Director of Strategic Communication of the ADC Presidential Campaign Council, Atiku described Tinubu’s removal of petrol subsidy as “like a wicked king recounting the suffering he had inflicted as a triumph.” “Bola, you are the Egypt Nigerians are desperate to escape. You celebrate the day you made fuel more expensive, then lecture families struggling to pay for food and transport about why they must never go back,” he said. He added: “A mother trying to feed her children cannot pay for food with a metaphor. A worker cannot get to work on a story about the Red Sea. Nigerians are asking how you intend to make life affordable. Answer them.” Atiku promised targeted support for verified petroleum products refined and sold locally, excluding imported fuel, w...

78-YEAR-OLD FORMER UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR ARRESTED AFTER REPEATEDLY BLOCKING A FOOD DELIVERY ROBOT IN PROTEST AGAINST THREATS TO HUMAN JOBS

Image
A 78-year-old retired University of Pennsylvania professor, Carolyn Marvin, has been arrested for allegedly blocking an Uber Eats delivery robot in Philadelphia, United States, as part of her protest against machines replacing human workers.  Marvin was reportedly taken into custody on Wednesday after refusing to move from the autonomous robot’s path despite police repeatedly asking her to let it pass, according to Philly Voice.  She was subsequently charged with disorderly conduct.  The former professor, who taught a course on freedom of expression at Penn, said she had been confronting delivery robots for months because she believes companies are deploying them at the expense of human workers to “enrich their own bottom line.”  “I know they’re taking the jobs of human delivery workers and, so, I have been protesting them whenever I saw them by standing in front of them and preventing them from going forward,” she said.  Marvin maintained that her a...

Prophet Chukwuemeka Ohanemere, popularly known as Odumeje, has stirred reactions after declaring that he would not d+e but would disappear when he had completed his assignment on earth.  Speaking during a lively moment with his congregation, the controversial cleric questioned how people would celebrate him after his de@th, insisting that he would not be available for a conventional b¥rial.  “You can never celebrate me when I am de@d.

Image
The Federal Government has reportedly paid ₦658.9bn in direct cash transfers to 10.46 million poor and vulnerable households as of September 2026, but the World Bank has called for improvements to ensure the programme provides more effective and sustained relief.

OBI-KWANKWASO TICKET WILL NOT WITHDRAW FOR ATIKU - KWANKWASO

Image
Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, vice-presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic   Congress (NDC), has firmly rejected claims that the party’s Obi-Kwankwaso (OK) ticket will withdraw from the 2027 presidential race in favour of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

Kwankwaso described such claims as unfounded and unhelpful. “Let me state clearly and unequivocally: we will not withdraw our candidature for the ADC or any other party,” he declared. “We remain confident in our capacity, com...

I’m going to have to navigate,” he explained. According to Chude, while he had learne...

Image
The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, has said domestic and international markets have largely dismissed Nigeria’s opposition parties as unserious, with investors expecting President Bola Tinubu to secure a second term and sustain his economic reforms. Speaking at the closing briefing of the IMF/World Bank Annual Meetings in Bangkok, Thailand, Oyedele said investors had repeatedly questioned whether the government would reverse its policies ahead of the next election. “In all the meetings I have had, I came to a conclusion that the markets, including the domestic market and the international market, have largely written off the opposition in Nigeria as being unserious,” he said. He ruled out a return to fuel subsidies and multiple exchange rates, warning that reversing the reforms could trigger capital flight and weaken the naira. “Let me be clear: there will be no return to fuel subsidies or multiple exchange rates,” he stated.

STOP TAKING LOANS TO AVOID MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS - PSYCHIATRISTS WARNS NIGERIANS

Image
Psychiatrists have warned Nigerians against taking loans they cannot repay, cautioning that mounting debts and pressure from creditors could trigger anxiety, emotional distress and other mental health problems. The warning follows a Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) report showing that personal loans reached N2.06tn in May 2026, accounting for 64.78 per cent of the N3.18tn in outstanding consumer credit.

FOODSTUFFS ARE NOW CHEAPER - PRESIDENCY DECLARES

Image
The Presidency has accused media organisations of promoting opposition narratives about Nigeria’s economy, insisting that food prices have dropped significantly under President Bola Tinubu. Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to the President, made the remarks in a post on his official X handle, on Friday. Onanuga urged television presenters to visit markets, claiming that the prices of staple foods, particularly rice, had crashed. His words: “TV anchors keep pushing the opposition’s narrative that nothing has changed, positively, indeed, massively, since 2023. Their position has become so ridiculous that they keep parroting the old narrative, and now they question the NBS data on receding inflation. I will advise them to revisit the markets. Food prices are crashing. “The favourite rice that at a time was selling for N120k a bag has crashed below N50k. In my hometown, a bag now sells for N45K.” The presidential aide also highlighted other economic dev...

WHY I'M NOT MARRIED AT 52 - RAPPER RUGGEDMAN REVEALS

Image
Veteran Nigerian rapper Michael Ugochukwu Stephens, popularly known as Ruggedman, has explained why he remains unmarried at 52, attributing his single status to the demands of his music career and the collapse of a five-year relationship. The rapper, who spoke during a recent radio interview, said he had always wanted to get married and have children but was determined not to have a child outside wedlock. Ruggedman explained that he entered the Nigerian music industry when artists had to depend largely on their hustle, a journey that consumed much of his time. “I am one of those who got into the industry back in the day where all we had was our hustle and we faced it and before you know it, time was gone,” he said.

Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo has advised men to stop chasing women who constantly demand money, gifts and phones, urging them to seek partners who can support their growth and build a future with them. Speaking on relationships and marriage, the pastor said some men complain that women are only interested in what they can get from them, without considering the kind of women they pursue. “You’re always looking for girls that are taking from you. You see the ones that can support you and help you, you don’t want that one,” he said. Okonkwo urged men to stop generalising about the opposite s+x, insisting that there are still good, godly women willing to build a life with their partners. “Don’t join all this gender war: men are sc¥m, women are sc¥m. It’s a lie. It’s the type you are chasing,” he added. The pastor also challenged men who delay marriage until they become wealthy, arguing that a supportive wife can help them achieve their goals faster. “When you marry a good woman, she...
