Image
The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has expressed strong concern over a reported incident at the Federal High Court in Abuja involving Justice Mohammed Umar and a legal practitioner, Marshall Abubakar. According to reports, the incident occurred on Monday, March 16, 2026, during proceedings involving activist Omoyele Sowore.

JUDGE ORDERS SOWORE'S LAWYER TO KNEEL DOWN IN COURT

Image
Justice Mohammed Umar of the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday threatened to commit the lead defence lawyer to politician and online publisher, Omoyele Sowore, Marshall Abubakar, for contempt over rudeness in court. For raising his voice in court, the judge ordered Sowore’s lawyer to “come out and kneel down” in open court. Other lawyers, however, quickly prevailed upon the judge to forgive their errant colleague. Sowore is being prosecuted by the Department of State Services (DSS) for allegedly making false claims against the person of President Bola Tinubu by referring to him as “a criminal” in a post he made on his “X” and Facebook accounts. The lawyer drew the ire of the judge when he raised his voice while making submissions in court. The lawyer further raised his voice and insisted that the date chosen by the court for the defence to open its case was not convenient for him. Trouble started when, shortly after Abubakar struggled to conclude cross examining the onl...

"STOP DATING AND MARRYING BROKE WOMEN", - PASTOR OKONKWO TELLS MEN

Image
Popular relationship coach and lead pastor of David’s Christian Centre, Kingsley Okonkwo, has sparked a debate on social media after charging men to raise their standards and stop marrying women who are “liabilities.” In a series of posts shared via his official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Sunday, the cleric argued that the growing lack of interest in marriage among men stems from the perception of the institution as a financial burden rather than a partnership. He wrote, “Men, it’s high time we start having standards as well. You guys are too used to women who are liabilities, that’s why less and less men desire marriage, they see it as a burden. “Men set standards like you won’t marry broke women too, that you want a partner and not a dependent, maybe it will make more women work and not see marriage and dating as a poverty alleviation scheme.” Addressing the religious and social implications of the current trend, Okonkwo described the expectation for men as “unbiblica...

"THAT PARTICULAR CHARACTER (PAPA AJASCO) HAS BEEN REGISTERED BY WALE ADENUGA. THINGS HAVE NEVER BEEN OKAY FOR YEARS - NO CAR OF MY OWN, NO HOUSE OF MY OWN." - ABIODUN AYOYINKA ( PAPA AJASCO ) REVEALS

Image
Actor Abiodun Ayoyinka has revealed the struggles he has faced since gaining fame as the iconic Papa Ajasco.  Speaking in an interview with media personality Lucky Udu, he said, “The major problem why people are not seeing me where they are supposed to see me is cause that particular character (Papa Ajasco) has been registered by Wale Adenuga and anybody that wants to use me outside with the character has never been easy on me.”  He added, “I don’t have the right to use the name Papa Ajasco unless I go and take permission. I can’t even use the costume and cause of this I have had limited opportunities because people would want to use me as Papa Ajasco and not Yinka.”  Reflecting on his personal life, Ayoyinka admitted, “Things have never been okay for years back now, I don’t even have a car of my own or even a house.”  Despite his enduring fame, he says establishing his own identity in the industry has been a constant challenge.
