The embattled claimant to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) chairmanship, Nafiu Bala Gombe, has reportedly expressed regret over his involvement in the party’s internal crisis, blaming Hon. Leke Abejide and Babachir Lawal. According to his close associate, Nafiu Umaru, who spoke in Abuja, Nafiu lamented that since the crisis began, he and his family have faced threats, making it difficult for him to even attend congregational prayers due to safety concerns. Umaru said Nafiu claimed that promises made to him during the crisis were not fulfilled, adding that he now regrets his involvement in the situation. He further alleged that Hon. Abejide abandoned him after leaving the party, leaving him to face the consequences alone, while Babachir Lawal allegedly influenced him into actions that worsened the crisis. Nafiu also reportedly complained that despite expectations of political compensation, nothing meaningful materialised, except minor financial support for legal expense...

Rabiu Kwankwaso has asked his supporters to resign from the ADC ahead of his planned defection to the NDC next week The former NNPP leader, who joined the ADC a few weeks ago, will join the NDC with Peter Obi, who is also expected to announce his defection soon, as both men will be on the presidential ballot on an Obi-Kwankwaso ticket.  Additionally, all lawmakers who defected to the ADC from the NNPP are expected to announce their resignations from the party as they will all be moving to the NDC. This move is also being discussed with the lawmakers who defected to the ADC with Peter Obi. Meanwhile, there are last-minute efforts by some of the coalition leaders to halt the planned defections but this is unlikely to be successful as Kwankwaso’s bloc held a meeting with NDC leaders last night to finalise discussions on their planned move.

“My supporters don’t engage in f!ghts on social media. The f!ght is between Atiku and Peter Obi’s people. Obi’s people are abus!ng me but I don’t reply them. The Obidients insist on ‘Obi or nothing,’ while Atiku’s supporters say ‘Atiku or nothing.’ But the question is, do they have the numbers? I’m confident I will win the ticket”  - Rotimi Amaechi

Rivers State Assembly Complex Gets a Fresh New Look

The board of trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), backed by Kabiru Turaki, says it has assumed leadership of the party following the ruling of the supreme court, which invalidated the national convention held on November 15 and 16, 2025. The convention produced Turaki as the national chairman of the party. In a split judgement delivered on Thursday, three out of five justices of the apex court held that the appeal filed by the Turaki-led faction to validate the convention lacks merit.

Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State has expressed confidence that residents of the state will overwhelmingly support President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections, citing increased financial support from the federal government.  Speaking during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Okpebholo said Edo could deliver as many as 2.5 million votes for the president. He attributed this optimism to the funds being made available to state governments under Tinubu’s administration, which he said are driving visible development. “I will get the 2.5 million votes from Edo State; it’s already on the streets. Everybody is coming out to vote for Asiwaju on that day,” the governor stated, assuring that voters would turn out en masse. Okpebholo also reflected on the 2023 presidential election outcome in the state, where Peter Obi defeated Tinubu. He blamed the result on the performance of the previous administration led by former governor Godwin Obaseki, sugge...

A man has shared his disappointing experience months after switching from NEPA to solar energy, despite spending millions of naira on the installation. According to him, the extremely high cost of electricity in his area, coupled with recommendations from friends and colleagues, pushed him to embrace solar power as a more reliable and cost-effective alternative.  He went ahead and installed a full solar system in his home, hoping to enjoy stable power supply and escape the frequent blackouts and exorbitant bills. Unfortunately, he was left deeply disappointed as the solar system f4iled to meet his expectations. He explained that the solar panels up to 10 could not consistently power his household appliances, especially during cloudy or rainy days, and the batteries drained faster than anticipated, forcing him to still rely on the grid at night.  The man further emphasized that instead of rushing to switch to solar, which he now considers unreliable and expensive to...

The Supreme Court has voided its earlier “status quo antebellum” order in the leadership dispute involving the African Democratic Congress (ADC). This means the previous restriction keeping all parties in their positions has been lifted.

Reality TV star Phyna has sparked conversation online after candidly admitting she sometimes wishes she were a man due to the pressures placed on women. In a recent statement, the BBNaija winner said she believes life appears more straightforward for men, especially when it comes to expectations around success and ambition.  According to her, while men are primarily expected to work hard and make money, women often face layers of societal judgment and restrictions. “I lowkey wish I was a man,” she said. “I feel life is much easier for guys, but for girls, we’ve been stigmatized and there are so many rules and regulations covering us.” Phyna went on to highlight how these expectations can limit women, adding that it often feels like women are discouraged from dreaming big or stepping outside traditional roles.

Nigerian businessman Olakunle Churchill has dismissed reports claiming his relationship with actress Roseline Meurer has ended in divorce, describing the circulating story as false and misleading. In a statement shared on his official Instagram account, Churchill clarified that he and Meurer were never legally married, stressing that their union was limited to a traditional introduction ceremony—a cultural event that does not carry legal weight under Nigerian marriage law. "There is no legally recognised marriage. No church wedding and no court wedding. What we did was an introduction. Therefore, the idea of a 'divorce' is baseless from the beginning," he said. The businessman's response follows widespread rumours suggesting that Meurer had filed for divorce—claims that gained traction amid renewed public attention on Churchill's personal life following his recent reconciliation with ex-wife, actress Tonto Dikeh. Under Nigerian law, a marriage is l...

"When 50 Cent was still at his peak, he was supposed to come to Port Harcourt for a musical jam. And that same day, we were to hold a crusade. I said, if 50 Cent comes and you believers go for his show, then something is wrong. I said, if he comes to Port Harcourt, I will not come. He was already booked, adverts were everywhere. I said, if 50 Cent performs tomorrow, then God did not call me. I said he will not come. A boy even said, ‘Una hear wetin pastor talk, if 50 Cent no come, I go give my life to Christ.’ But hear the humbling part. He got to Lagos to fly to Port Harcourt and had issues. 50 Cent turned back from there and went back to America. Those who bought tickets for 50 Cent had no choice than to come for my program…” - Founder of Salvation Ministries Pastor David Ibiyeomie recounts how 50 Cent failed to perform in Port Harcourt after his bold declaration, sparking reactions online.

The Federal High Court in Abuja has restrained INEC from recognising any state congresses conducted by committees appointed by the David Mark-led caretaker leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Delivering judgment on Wednesday, Justice Joyce Abdulmalik held that the responsibility for conducting state congresses rests with the party’s state executive committees, not the national leadership. The court further ruled that the four-year tenure of the ADC’s State Working Committees and State Executive Committees remains valid and subsisting, pending the conduct of properly constituted congresses and the convocation of a national convention. Justice Abdulmalik also held that neither the Nigerian Constitution nor the party constitution empowers the caretaker/interim National Working Committee, led by David Mark, to appoint committees to conduct state congresses. The judgment is on the suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/581/2026 filed by Don Norman Obinna, Johnny Tovie Derek, O...

Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ola Olukoyede, has revealed that he once ordered a six-month investigation into popular cleric Jerry Eze over suspected money laundering, only for the probe to take an unexpected turn.  Speaking at the Jerry Eze Foundation Business Grant Award Ceremony, Olukoyede said the commission acted on intelligence and petitions after noticing massive inflows into a domiciliary account linked to the pastor. “I investigated this man for six months. Yeah. For money laundering. We work by intelligence, we work by petitions,” he said. According to him, the transactions raised eyebrows due to their global origins. “At some point, I saw there was an account, a domiciliary account. Dollars, pounds were dropping in like raindrops, you know, from Colombia, from, you know, from America, from Sri Lanka, even from Togo.” Curious about the identity behind the account, he said, “I said, ‘Who is this man?’ they said, ‘This one, Pastor Jer...

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has alleged that some individuals are exploiting the country’s security challenges in a bid to force him out of office, insisting that he remains resolute and focused on seeking a second term. Speaking during a recent engagement, the President said, “You’re playing into the hands of fidgets, including my own enemies, who want to use insecurity to get rid of me.” Tinubu maintained that he would not succumb to such pressure, describing himself as determined to stay the course despite ongoing criticism and challenges. “I’m a very stubborn politician. I just refuse to go,” he said, reaffirming his commitment to continue in office. The President further signalled his intention to seek re-election, adding, “I’ll be campaigning for my second term, I’ll work hard.”

President William Ruto has addressed the backlash following his controversial remarks about Nigerian-accented English, insisting he was misunderstood. While speaking to Kenyans in Italy on Monday, April 20, Ruto praised Kenya’s education system and command of English, saying, “Our education is good.  Our English is good. We speak some of the best English in the world.” He then added, “If you listen to a Nigerian speaking, you don’t know what they are saying. You need a translator even when they are speaking English,” a comment that sparked laughter but quickly drew criticism online. The remarks triggered outrage among Nigerians and other Africans, many of whom accused the Kenyan leader of mocking a fellow African nation. However, speaking on Tuesday, April 28, at a mining conference in Nairobi, Ruto pushed back on the narrative, saying his words were taken out of context. “You know, I was speaking to my fellow citizens somewhere, and it was supposed to be a private conv...

Senior pastor of Gracemade Christian Center and husband to Nollywood actress Seun Osigbesan has publicly celebrated his wife in a deeply emotional testimony, revealing how she held their home together financially during some of their most difficult years. Speaking during a church event marking her 40th birthday in a video now circulating online, the cleric praised the actress, popular for her role in The Johnsons, for her resilience, patience, and unwavering support when he had little or nothing to contribute financially. According to him, she not only supported the family emotionally but also carried the financial responsibilities for years without complaints. “You know, if I need anything, I am very comfortable to ask her because I know that she will come through. Even when I did not have anything, she was consistent and never complained. She carried a lot of burden, real bills, for at least seven years and never complained,” he said.  He added that her constant words...

Nigeria’s House of Representatives has approved a request by President Bola Tinubu to secure $516,333,007 in syndicated financing from Deutsche Bank AG for infrastructure development. The approval was granted during Tuesday’s plenary in Abuja after the Deputy Chairman of the House Committee on Aids, Loans and Debt Management, Abdullahi Rasheed, presented the committee’s report. The funds are intended to finance key sections of the proposed Sokoto–Badagry Super Highway, a major project under the current administration aimed at improving connectivity across different regions of the country. Earlier, President Tinubu had written to the National Assembly seeking approval for the loan, explaining that the facility would be sourced from Deutsche Bank to execute critical portions of the project. Specifically, the financing will cover Sections 1, 1A, and 1B of the highway. The planned 1,000-kilometre road will link the North-West to the South-West, passing through Sokoto, Kebbi, Ni...

A Nigerian marriage counsellor, Pastor Bisi Adewale, has cautioned women against spending extended periods abroad caring for grandchildren, warning that long absences can strain marriages and leave elderly husbands vulnerable. Adewale, who is the founder of Family Booster Ministry International and the College of Marital Success, issued the warning in a video posted on his Facebook page on Monday. “Another thing I h@te is for a woman to escape to Canada to go and do Omugwo for three years. Very bad. Very, very bad. Now a 75-year-old man is now going all around buying boli, buying groundnut, at his age. It is not good,” Pastor Bisi Adewale said.  Adewale explained that he had made a personal agreement with his wife that they would always travel together, regardless of where their children lived. “I told my wife, I said the children may move abroad. They can do everything. If you are going for Omugwo anywhere, we are going together. And I told my children, if your house i...

Veteran Yoruba Nollywood actor Ladi Folarin has opened up about a past decision he now deeply regrets, revealing how it affected both his business and personal reflection on faith. In an interview with FeelRightNews TV, the actor recounted an experience from the time he managed a tea company, where a conflict arose between workplace expectations and an employee’s religious commitment. According to Folarin, he had employed a staff member who was a devoted member of Deeper Life Church. The employee maintained a consistent routine of leaving work every day at 6 p.m. to attend church services. While this practice was important to the worker, it frequently clashed with the demands of the business, especially during periods when supplies needed urgent attention. Folarin admitted that the situation became increasingly frustrating for him. Eventually, his dissatisfaction reached a breaking point, prompting him to confront the employee with a strict ultimatum. He demanded that the w...

In 2022, a 19-year-old Brazilian gave birth to twins with different biological fathers. The 19-year-old mom had sex with two men on the same day during ovulation. Two eggs were fertilized by different sperm, confirmed by DNA tests when the twins were 8 months old. This is a rare phenomenon called heteropaternal superfecundation.

In a reflective statement after the incident, Trump said he was not fully aware of the risks when he first took on the position, adding that the reality of the job carries serious d+ngers. “Nobody told me this was such a d+ngerous profession,” he said. “If Marco would have told me, maybe I wouldn’t have run. Maybe I would have said I’ll take a pass.” Despite acknowledging the risks, Trump noted that he does not personally view the job through fear, stressing that it is part of the responsibility he has accepted. “It is a d+ngerous profession, but I don’t view it that way. I’m here to do a job, and it’s part of the job,” he said. He went further to say he could not think of any other profession that carries greater risk, while reaffirming his pride in his service and achievements. “I can’t imagine that there’s any profession that’s more d+ngerous, but I love the country and I’m very proud. I’m very proud of the job we’ve done. You see what’s happened. We have a great country...

President Donald Trump and top officials were rushed to safety Saturday night after gunfire erupted at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner at the Washington Hilton. The president emerged unharmed, the shooter was taken into custody within moments, and America dodged another bullet from a deranged attacker. The suspect has been identified as 31-year-old Cole Allen of Torrance, California, a public school teacher honored as Teacher of the Month in December 2024 and now facing charges in this attack. Law enforcement sources confirm he is in custody. This was no random act. It was a brazen breach near the magnetometers outside the ballroom where Trump, the First Lady, and cabinet members were gathered with the very press corps that has spent years demonizing him. Video from the scene shows chaos as shots rang out. Attendees dove under tables. Secret Service agents moved with lightning speed, evacuating the president. Trump later described the moment: “I heard a n...
