"WHEN A WICKED PERSON D!ES, PEOPLE REJOICE NOT BECAUSE OF DEATH ITSELF, BUT BECAUSE THE OPPRESSION HAS ENDED." - TAMBARI JACOB, TO LATE SENATOR BARRY MPIGI

Social media commentator Tambari Jacob has come under heavy criticism following a controversial post he made shortly after news broke of the death of Senator Barry Mpigi. In the post, which quickly sparked widespread reactions online, Jacob made remarks suggesting that people often rejoice when the wicked die — a statement many interpreted as a reference to the late senator. The comment triggered backlash, with several users describing it as insensitive and disrespectful, especially given the timing. Critics accused him of lacking empathy and failing to show proper regard for the deceased. Tambari Jacob, known for his outspoken and often polarizing views, has previously faced public scrutiny over his commentary style and the strong positions he frequently takes on national issues.

President Bola Tinubu has removed Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun from office amid jubilation at the Police Headquarters. Egbetokun, who had been facing criticism for his handling of security issues and allegations of corruption, is to be replaced by Tunji Disu, the Assistant Inspector General of Police overseeing the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex in Alagbon, Lagos. The move has been welcomed by some police officers, who reportedly celebrated the news of Egbetokun's removal. Sources indicate that Egbetokun's tenure was marked by controversy, including allegations of undermining the police recruitment process and using his position to silence critics. Egbetokun's removal comes after months of calls for his dismissal, with critics arguing that his continued stay in office was a setback for Nigeria's security efforts. The Police Service Commission (PSC) had urged President Tinubu to sack Egbetokun over allegations of co...

A Ugandan pastor, David Ochieng has abandoned his ministerial work after hitting a huge sum of money through sports betting. Local media reports that he won 100 million UGX (N21 million) and decided to shutdown his church thereby leaving members in disbelief and confusion. When he realised that he is now 100 million shillings richer, he closed down the building and left members of his congregation stranded when they came for midweek service. Members of the church who visited the premises were shocked when they saw that the gate was locked and did not know what to do. The clergyman was contacted and he confessed that the reason he chose to work in the vineyard of God was strictly to earn income to survive and not because he was called. Ochieng further described the winning as a blessing from God and a swift way to get him out of poverty he was in because he could not sustain himself with money from his poor congregation.

China’s newly introduced 2025 divorce reforms have triggered widespread debate following significant changes to how marital property is divided after separation. Under the revised law, a wife can no longer automatically claim her husband’s property after a divorce unless the asset is officially registered as joint property or she can clearly prove her financial contribution toward its acquisition. The reform moves away from the traditional 50/50 asset division approach, placing greater emphasis on documented ownership and direct monetary input. Notably, the law does not recognise domestic responsibilities — such as childcare and household duties — as direct financial contributions to marital assets. This shift has raised concerns among advocacy groups and legal analysts.
