ONGOING EMPOWERMENT INITIATIVE: HON. OROLOSAMA GRANTS SCHOLARSHIPS TO OVER THIRTY STUDENTS ACROSS ALL LEVEL


The former Caretaker Chairman of ASALGA, Rivers State, has once again demonstrated his philanthropic spirit by awarding scholarships to over 30 students across primary, secondary school and university levels.

You will recall that on January 12, 2025, Hon. Amachree Orolosama distributed millions of naira in cash gifts to youths, women groups, and community leaders as part of efforts to strengthen grassroots empowerment in the area.

While addressing parents and beneficiaries, Hon. Orolosama assured them that the scholarship scheme would be expanded to accommodate more students and youths in the future.

He also appealed for their continued support for Governor Sir Siminalayi Fubara and his own leadership to ensure the continuity of what he described as good governance and people-oriented programmes.

He further noted that certain forces were working to destabilize the administration of the Rivers State Governor, urging the people to remain steadfast and stand firmly behind Governor Fubara.

Hon. Orolosama concluded by calling for calm among residents, expressing confidence that the struggle would ultimately end in victory.

Image
Controversial UK-based Nigerian pastor, Tobi Adegboyega, is once again at the centre of heated debate after a viral clip captured him making bold claims about Christianity and Africa’s colonial past. In the trending video, the founder of the Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church (SPAC Nation) alleged that religion was w@aponised against Africans during colonisation. “The white man came to Africa when he came to colonize us. He told us he was selling to us a bigger religion,” he said. He further claimed that certain Bible passages were deliberately inserted to enforce submission. “In his bible, he’s gone to insert things like ‘sl+ves obey your masters.’ He put it in his bible. He used God to trick us. He tricked us into submission. He tricked our leaders into submission so that he can use us build his own country.” The pastor argued that after benefiting from religion, Western nations have now distanced themselves from it. “Now, Africans are the ones embracing religion and h...

Image
The federal government says consignments of Lenacapavir, a new drug for HIV prevention, are expected to arrive in Nigeria in March 2026.

"YOU'RE BROKE BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT MARRIED" - PASTOR KINGSLEY TELLS SINGLE MEN ABOVE 28

Image
Clergyman Kingsley Okonkwo has sparked conversation after stating that many men in their forties struggle financially because they refused to get married earlier in life. Speaking during a recent church service, Okonkwo argued that marriage can be a catalyst for financial growth and personal responsibility, particularly for men. According to him, many single men believe they are unmarried because they lack money, but he suggested the reverse may be the case. “If you are a single man above 28-ish, one of the best things you can do for yourself is to marry,” he said. “Many single men think it is because I don’t have money that I am not married. No, it is because you are not married that is why you do not have money.” The pastor claimed that statistically, married men tend to earn more than their single counterparts because they are compelled by responsibility to increase their income. “As a single man, you don’t have to make more money. That your noodles is enough for you. Yo...
