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.

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 leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has predicted that Nigeria could face widespread vi%lence, political unrest and ethnic tensions if President Bola Tinubu loses the 2027 presidential election.

If he loses the election, it will be bl%%dy because a lot of politicians will go into oblivion.” The prophet further claimed that a defeat could trigger attempts to prevent the announcement of ele...

Image
Pastor Bolaji Idowu of Harvesters Church has advised people to work on their selfishness before entering relationships, warning that a partner’s attitude towards others can reveal their true character.

Don’t get me anything,” he quoted the woman as saying, adding, “You will know you did not find a wife. You found a knife.” He also described a scenario where a man buys an expensive phone for himself but fails to consider upgrading his partner’s phone, saying such behaviour could reveal a lack of thoughtfulness. “Lo...
