ITALIAN CATHOLIC PRIEST, REV. FATHER FERRETTO QUITS MINISTRY, MARRIES KENYAN WOMAN HE MET DURING MISSIONARY WORK

Image
An Italian born former Catholic priest, Father Sandro Ferretto, has left the priesthood to pursue a romantic relationship with a Kenyan woman he met while serving as a missionary in Kenya. Ferretto previously served as a Catholic parish priest in Kasiela and Mochongoi, Baringo County, where he was involved in mission work in the region. It was during his time there that he met Sharon Jepng’ok, a Tugen woman and daughter of former councillor John Wendot.

WHY IT IS BETTER TO HELP RICH PEOPLE THAN HELPING THOSE WHO HAVE NOTHING - FOOD CRITIC, OPEYEMI FAMAKIN EXPLAINS

Image
Media personality and food critic Opeyemi Famakin has sparked reactions after explaining why he believes helping wealthy people can sometimes be more beneficial than helping those who have little or poor.  Famakin said repeatedly helping people who have nothing can sometimes create a sense of entitlement, with beneficiaries eventually seeing their helpers as a permanent source of financial support.  In his words; “Nigerians have created something called ‘my helper.’ Once you help someone, they see you as, ‘Oh, this person is my helper.’ When I need something, this person is the person that I can always run to.”  He added: “When you give them free, and you stop giving them, they will start misbehaving. I believe it is better to help people who already have than to help those who have nothing.”  Famakin shared an experience involving a staff member whom he had repeatedly assisted financially, including increasing his salary, but who later returned to ask fo...

Image
Veteran Nollywood actor Pete Edochie has advised married men not to pray for a situation where they become dependent on their wives for food.

I'LL REDUCE PETROL, COOKING GAS AND AVIATION FUEL PRICES TO BELOW N200 PER LITRE ONCE ELECTED - SDP CANDIDATE, ADEBAYO

Image
The presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Prince Adewole Adebayo, has promised to reduce the prices of petrol, cooking gas and aviation fuel, Jet A1, to ₦200 per litre if elected president in 2027. Adebayo made the pledge while featuring on the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) Personality Interview Series in Abuja on Sunday.

He maintained that the country’s decades-old refineries could still be made functional, pointing to older refineries in the United States that remain operational. The SDP candidate also proposed restoring what he described as the original subsidy arrangement, under which 450,000 barrels of crude oil were reserved for domestic consumption. He said other products obtained from the crude, including naphtha, heavy fuel oil, diesel and kerosene, could be sold and th...

IF YOU KNEEL TO PROPOSE MARRIAGE TO A WOMAN, YOU'RE CONCEDING HEADSHIP OF THE FAMILY TO HER - ACTOR PETE EDOCHIE

Image
Veteran Nollywood actor Pete Edochie has shared his views on marriage, gender roles and family leadership during an appearance on Bae U Barbie’s Curiosity Made Me Ask podcast.

If you get into such a situation, you’d like to take pois%n and d+e,” he said. Pete went on to explain his position on a man proposing to a woman, arguing that kneeling to offer a woman a ring amounts to giving her leadership of the family. “If you step down on your knee and you offer a woman a ring, you are conceding headship of the family to that woman,” he stated. When Bae U Barbie asked him to take back the statement, Pete stood his ground. “I will not take it back” he replied.

Image
The Rivers State House of Assembly has reportedly rejected the ₦6 billion allocation proposed for PAMO University in the state’s 2027 budget, raising questions over the decision to commit such a substantial amount of public funds to a privately owned tertiary institution.

Image
Sheikh Gumi has called on the Federal Government to consider negotiating with t+rrorists and bandits as part of efforts to tackle Nigeria’s insecurity, arguing that dialogue and rehabilitation could help end years of v+olence. Speaking during an interview, Gumi said Nigeria should treat insecurity as its own problem and not allow international opinions to dictate how it responds.

He also claimed that former President Olusegun Obasanjo once met with Boko Haram leaders in Maiduguri and that they had agreed to lay down their arms, but the government allegedly failed to follow through.

IN AMERICA, EUROPE, PLUMBERS EARN MORE THAN DOCTORS; NIGERIAN LACKS SKILLED ARTISANS - EDUCATION MINISTER, TUNJI ALAUSA

Image
Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, has highlighted Nigeria’s shortage of skilled artisans, arguing that the country’s education system must better prepare young people for the realities of the labour market. Speaking on the Afropolitan Podcast, Alausa said the earning potential of skilled workers can sometimes surpass that of professionals traditionally regarded as more prestigious. “In America, Europe or anywhere, a plumber earns more than a doctor, an electrician earns more than a lawyer. So what are we talking about here?” He recalled a situation where Nigerians building houses could not find enough local artisans for jobs such as tiling and screeding, forcing them to bring workers from neighbouring countries. “We were going to Cotonou, to Togo to bring these people in.” Alausa also recalled that Aliko Dangote faced a similar challenge while constructing his refinery, saying the businessman had to bring in almost 22,000 artisans from outside Nigeria. “It was like w...

MY LOVE FOR A WOMAN VANISHES ONCE SHE STRESSES ME. ONLY MONEY IS ALLOWED TO STRESS ME - ACTOR KUNLE OMISORE REVEALS

Kunle further described having what he called an “auto-mechanism emotional motor mechanism” within him that automatically switches off his emotions when he feels frustrated. “When I say I love you, I love you. If you frustrate me, that thing will switch off unconsciously, so I don’t control it. And when it switches off, I will be like, ‘Oh, I really said I love you?’ That means it is switched off,” he said. Whe...

"NO NIGERIAN WILL BE BORN AGAIN IF YOU PREACH HELL TO THEM, THEY ARE ALREADY IN HELL" - PASTOR IBIYEOMIE SAYS

Image
Pastor David Ibiyeomie has sparked reactions with his remarks on the kind of message Christians should preach to Nigerians when trying to win souls for Christ. Speaking about the effectiveness of preaching about hell, the pastor argued that many Nigerians are already going through severe hardship, making the threat of hell less effective in convincing them to accept Christ. He said Nigerians need to hear messages of hope, love and transformation rather than messages that remind them of further suffering. According to him: “You can imagine preaching hell to Nigerians. They are already in h£ll. There’s no way you preach h£ll to Nigerians and anybody will be born again.” Instead, he urged pastors to focus on preaching about God’s love and His ability to transform people’s lives. “Just tell them God loves you. He can change your story. Then the man says, ‘Eh ehn,’ then you say, ‘Come to Jesus.’” He further explained that constantly warning Nigerians about hell may not have the ...

Businesses using Meta’s WhatsApp Business Platform will begin paying for certain customer messages from October 1, 2026, following a new pricing structure announced by the company. The new policy applies primarily to organisations that use the WhatsApp Business Platform, formerly known as the WhatsApp Business API, to handle customer communications at scale. However, regular WhatsApp users and small businesses using the standard WhatsApp Business app are not the primary targets of the new charges. Under the revised pricing model, fees will vary depending on the type of message businesses send to customers.

Former Vice President Atiku has defended his decision to seek the presidency, saying that his age and previous attempts should not affect his constitutional right to contest. Atiku said, “We have a president who is 90 years old now and who is sick, and I am healthy. I am strong. So why would I not make my services available to my fellow countrymen?” When told Tinubu is not yet 90, Atiku replied, “Well, I have evidence, I have evidence that he is.

So I’ve never found anything easy in my life.” Atiku said, “Bec...
