Indonesia’s Vice-President, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, has reportedly submitted his resignation letter to President Prabowo Subianto amid controversy surrounding his educational qualifications. An aide, Budi Arie, confirmed that Gibran submitted the letter to the president on Wednesday. However, it remains unclear whether Prabowo has accepted his resignation. The development follows a Supreme Court ruling that found no evidence that Gibran had completed senior secondary school or possessed an equivalent qualification, as required by Indonesian law for vice-presidential candidates. Gibran, who studied in Singapore and Australia, had relied on an Indonesian equivalence certificate to establish his educational credentials. However, the court ruled that there was no evidence of a foreign diploma or certificate to prove an equivalent qualification. The ruling sparked fresh calls for accountability, with more than 100 lawmakers supporting a parliamentary initiative that could have p...

A Saudi Arabian court has sentenced a 40-year-old Kenyan domestic worker, Esther Wanja Muthoni, to 100 strokes of a cane and one year of banishment after convicting her of having s+x and giving birth outside wedlock.  According to The New York Times, Muthoni was sentenced last month after becoming pregnant during a brief relationship with an Egyptian man identified only as Mohamud, who later left Saudi Arabia.  Court documents did not reveal his surname or whether authorities attempted to prosecute him for the same offence.  Muthoni gave birth in August 2025 at accommodation provided for staff by her employer, Maharah Human Resources.

If this government is determined to mortgage Nigeria’s future and place our country at the mercy of creditors, we will not accept it.  “The Tinubu administration’s latest move is a preemptive attempt to lock Nigeria into a path of economic instability. A government cannot use its final days in office to bind the country and make governance more difficult for its successor.  “The proposed $500 million facility ...

Gumi stated this during an interview with PAPShow, where he said he found little fault with the economic direction of the Tinubu administration, particularly its decision to remove fuel and electricity subsidies. Asked whether Tinubu was getting his economic policies wrong, Gumi said, “No. I am not saying the economic measures themselves are wrong.

The cleric also pointed to improvements in key economic indicators, including GDP, government revenue and allocations to state and loca...

The Speaker of the Jigawa State House of Assembly, Haruna Dangyatin, has declared that residents of the state must vote for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections, describing support for the president as a religious obligation. Dangyatin made the statement on Saturday while inaugurating the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential and governorship campaign council in Dutse. According to him, Tinubu deserves the support of Jigawa residents because he is a fellow Muslim, has a Muslim running mate and has demonstrated concern for the North.

Pastor Dolapo Lawal has challenged the belief among some Christians that failing to pay tithes automatically attracts hardship or punishment from God. Lawal, while recounting an experience from his time as a pastor in Maryland, said he once tried to convince a woman who believed her financial losses were connected to her failure to pay tithes. According to him, the woman repeatedly insisted, “Once I don’t pay my tithes, things are tight for me.” The pastor said he eventually responded, be it unto you according to your word, after realizing how deeply she had embraced the belief. He questioned the idea that God would deliberately punish someone simply because they failed to give Him money, describing such thinking as unreasonable. Lawal illustrated the mindset by pointing out how some people imagine God reacting to unpaid tithes by deliberately causing problems in their lives, saying, “Because, do you know how preposterous it is to think that because you didn’t give God mone...

Abdulaziz Yari, Director-General of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, has sparked reactions after telling Nigerians that laziness is partly responsible for the hunger being experienced in the country. Yari made the statement on Saturday while speaking at an APC presidential campaign rally in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. The former Zamfara State governor argued that Nigerians should not blame the government alone for their economic struggles, insisting that personal effort also plays a role in people’s ability to provide for themselves. “You are hungry because you are lazy. If you work hard, you will not be hungry,” Yari said. According to him, a significant number of Nigerians, particularly young people, are unwilling to engage in productive work and instead prefer to remain at home expecting financial assistance. Yari recalled that in the past, Nigerians were more inclined to farming and other forms of manual labour, saying people could wor...

Speaking during the Shift Conference on Wednesday, the pastor began by urging Christians to stop limiting the number of children they have. “Stop having two children. I will explain now. Children are weapons. The Bible says because of those children, the man will not be ashamed. He will be able to speak to their enemies at the gate” “There’s an agenda to outnumber Christians just by childbirth. Christians are dozing. Christians are saying, I just want one child, one dog. Am a dog mom, cat mom. So Christians are dozing. They are acting cute. They want a cute family. The Muslims are populating the world. I’m telling the truth,” he said. He further stressed the importance of population numbers, claiming that Muslims were recording higher birth rates and wa...

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.

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...

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...

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. President Tinubu stated that after arriving in the United States he drove a taxi to raise money for his education and postponed starting school for several months in order to save enough funds.

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.

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.
