2027 ELECTION: "PETER OBI IS A GREAT MAN, BUT NOT FIT FOR PRESIDENT NOW." - ADC CHIEFTAIN, DINO MELAYE

Former Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye, has praised ex-Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi as an outstanding individual but stated that he is not suited to lead Nigeria. 

Speaking on Channels Television on Thursday, Melaye argued that Obi lacks the capacity to unite the country. Obi has consistently announced his plan to run in the 2027 presidential election. 

Melaye emphasized, “But let me even tell you, Peter Obi is a fantastic Nigerian. I have tremendous respect for him, and I’ve said it before, he is a fantastic person, but this is not his time to be President.”

NOT HAVING S£X FIVE TIMES A WEEK CAN LEAD TO MENTAL DISORDER

Image
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...

I THREATENED MY STAFF TO STOP GOING TO CHURCH OR ELSE I WILL SACK HIM, BUT HE QUIT INSTEAD

Image
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...

My friend got a job of $3470 per month from Nigeria, but she is considering rejecting it because when we did the maths, it would be hard to survive.

He said he is not interested in relocating yet, that she and the children should go.  Now this is why she wants to reject the offer.

"WHEN YOU PAY CONTRACTORS EVERYONE BENEFITS INCLUDING SIDE CHICKS" -- PRESIDENT OF GHANA

Image
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...
