A resignation letter dated April 22, 2026, confirms his decision to leave office effective April 30, 2026, so he can fully concentrate on his governorship ambition in Oyo State.  This development comes just weeks after the minister publicly denied reports of any such move, sparking fresh controversy over conflicting statements.  In his letter addressed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu through the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Adelabu expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve, describing his appointment as a rare privilege.  He explained that his resignation would allow for a smooth transition while he redirects his focus to his long-standing political ambition, which he traced back to 2016 during his time at the Central Bank of Nigeria.  Earlier denials by Adelabu and his me...

President John Mahama has sparked conversation after pointing to the role of “side ch+cks” in the wider flow of money following contractor payments. “When the contractors get paid, they go and buy a Land Cruiser for themselves, car dealers also benefit,” he said. Mahama went further to stress that the spending extends into personal relationships, adding, “And even their spouses, the wives, and the side ch+cks also benefit. Because when they are paid and they get something, they give their wives and side ch+cks, you know, some of the money. In his remarks, Mahama noted that when contractors receive funds, part of that money is often shared beyond official households, extending to romantic partners outside marriage. He stressed that this stream of spending should not be ignored, as it contributes to economic activity in subtle but impactful ways. According to him, once these partners  receive money, it quickly circulates through everyday services supporting businesses suc...

Claims circulate online suggesting that not having sex several times a week can lead to mental disorders. However, scientific research does not support a specific number or frequency of sexual activity required for mental health. What studies do show is that positive physical intimacy and emotional connection can influence mood through the release of certain brain chemicals. During intimate moments, the body may release Dopamine, Serotonin, and Oxytocin, which are associated with pleasure, emotional bonding, and stress reduction. These neurochemicals interact with the brain’s Reward System, which plays a role in motivation, mood regulation, and feelings of wellbeing. Because of this, healthy relationships and emotional closeness can contribute to improved mental wellbeing. However, mental health is influenced by many factors, including sleep, stress, social support, genetics, and lifestyle. There is no medical guideline stating that a certain number of sexual encounters per...

 Ghana’s President, John Mahama, has said Nigeria’s stability is of key importance to Ghana’s security interests, noting the strong ties between both countries.  Speaking at the African Heritage Awards 2026, Mahama explained that due to Nigeria’s large population and regional influence, instability could have wider consequences across West Africa.  He said: “Nigeria is of key security interests to us. When you have cousins like 250 million of them, you want them to do well so that 1 million of them don’t come drifting towards a small country like Ghana. That’s why every day I wake up and pray for Nigeria that God should help them get their act together.”  He added in another remark: “I wake up to pray every day for Nigerians so that 1 million of them don’t come drifting towards a small country like Ghana.”  The statement has since sparked reactions online, with many highlighting the close demographic and economic relationship between Nigeria and Ghan...

The Supreme Court has dismissed an application for stay of execution of an Appeal Court ruling that led to the decision of electoral body, INEC to derecognize the Senator David Mark leadership of the Action Democratic Congress, ADC.  This dismissal by the Apex Court on Tuesday followed the withdrawal of the application by senator Mark's counsel Jibril Okutekpa, SAN.  Okutekpa had informed the five-member apex court panel headed by Justice Lawal Garba that INEC's interpretation of the Court of Appeal decision on March 12 has made the party 'leaderless.'  He says the 'injunctive order' for the aggrieved parties to maintain 'status quo antebellum' is the reason for the current leadership vacuum in the ADC. He prayed the court for urgent action in view of the time constraints in the lead up to next year's crucial polls.  In its intervention, the apex court gave procedural directions to fast-track the process, including abridging time for fili...

A fresh political controversy has emerged following claims by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) that there are moves by government agents to revoke the licence of Rainbow Event Centre, the venue scheduled to host the party’s national convention on Tuesday, April 14, 2026. In a strongly worded statement attributed to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the development was described as a “shameful and cowardly abuse of public office,” accusing authorities of attempting to frustrate the party’s activities. The statement alleged that the planned revocation is linked solely to the venue’s decision to host the ADC convention, despite the party reportedly fulfilling all legal and financial requirements, including payment of fees and signing of necessary agreements. According to the statement, pressuring a private business to deny a legally registered opposition party access to a venue undermines democratic principles and threatens the rights to free assembly and political pa...

Fresh concerns have emerged within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) following comments by former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, suggesting he could leave the party if internal processes are compromised. Speaking during an interview on Arise TV on Monday, Obi explained the reasons behind his past party defections, insisting that his decisions were driven by principle rather than personal gain. Obi recalled that his first major switch, from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), stemmed from disagreements with his successor as governor of Anambra State. “I moved from APGA to the PDP because of issues with my successor. Rather than allow it to become t+xic and become destructive to governance of the State, I moved out,” he said. According to Obi, his experience in the PDP was not significantly different, as he claimed the party environment was dominated by disregard for rules and excessive political bargaining. “...

The African Democratic Congress has announced a new venue for its national convention scheduled to be held in Abuja on Tuesday. Earlier on Monday, the ADC said it was denied access to both Eagle Square and the Moshood Abiola National Stadium for its convention.  The opposition party said it had written to the office of the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, seeking permission to use Eagle Square, but although the letter was acknowledged, no official response had been received. But in another statement, the ADC said the national convention will take place at the Rainbow Event Centre in Abuja. But the FCT Minister has dismissed allegations by the ADC that it was denied access to Eagle Square in Abuja.  Wike described the claims as “unfounded” and an attempt to gain public sympathy. He said no formal application had been submitted by any of the parties making the allegation.

Legendary Yoruba actor, Alhaji Taiwo Hassan Ogogo, has spoken and shared his thoughts on relationships within the theatre industry, especially between senior actors and apprentices.  Speaking in an interview with Feelrightvnews, he stated that it is not wrong for a boss to express romantic interest in an apprentice, as long as it is consensual and no form of force or pressure is involved. He also noted that some people join theatre groups with intentions beyond just learning acting.  According to him, relationships in such environments often develop naturally, and there should be no issue as long as both parties are adults and agree willingly.  “it’s not a crime for a boss to ask his apprentice out, contentment is satisfaction. there’s not suppose to be problem in a boss dating his apprentice as long as he didn’t force her. some girls do learn theatre because they want to date the boss.” He added.  He further reflected on his experience at Odunfa Theatre,...
