IRAN'S NEW SUPREME LEADER MOJTABA KHAMENEI 'WOUNDED' IN A NEW U.S-ISRAEL STR!KE

Iran’s newly -installed Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei wounded in ongoing US-Israeli conflict less than 24 hours after appointment. Iranian media reports that Mojtaba, the son of late Ali Khamenei, has been declared “janbaz,” or “wounded by the enemy.”

Mojtaba Khamenei, the second son of the late Ali Khamenei, has been named Iran’s new Supreme Leader, according to Iranian state media. The 56-year-old cleric was announced as his father’s successor on Sunday following a vote by the powerful Assembly of Experts, the body responsible for selecting Iran’s highest authority. His father, who had ruled Iran for decades, was reportedly k+lled last Saturday during strikes by the United States and Israel on Iran. In recent years, Mojtaba Khamenei had increasingly been mentioned as a potential successor due to his close relationship with his father, though he had never publicly addressed the possibility. Ahead of the official announcement, cleric Hosseinali Eshkevari revealed that the Assembly had already voted. “The name of Khamenei will continue,” he said in a video shared by Iranian media. “The vote has been cast and will be announced soon.” Iran’s Supreme Leader holds the highest authority in the Islamic Republic, with final...

Controversial cleric Pastor Angel has stirred reactions online following a sermon in which he advised congregants to prioritise wealth over emotions when choosing a life partner. In the viral message, the preacher claimed that many wealthy Jewish families approach marriage as a financial strategy rather than a romantic decision. “Forty percent of billionaires are Jewish. Hear me well, they don’t marry for love. Jews never marry for love. You marry for butterflies; they marry for balance sheets. Every union they do, they are doing it to create a deal. You invite your friends to your wedding; Jews don’t. They invite investors. The ones that the whole family created from generations are the ones who attend. For the time you, you, you s#lly people walk your daughter down the aisle, they have already finished their traditional seven rounds around a woman, and after that, they’re in the corner making deals. And guess what you’re doing? After forty years of showing photos of ...

The Presidency has insisted that the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu is creating millions of jobs through economic reforms and targeted programmes, despite warnings from the World Bank Group about a looming employment crisis in developing countries. The World Bank had cautioned that many developing economies, including Nigeria, could face a major jobs shortage as millions of young people prepare to enter the workforce without enough opportunities. Reacting to the warning, the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Public Communication, Sunday Dare, said Nigeria is taking the concerns seriously and tackling them through reforms under the Renewed Hope Agenda. According to Dare, job creation is tied to economic activity, which is why the government is focusing on macroeconomic stability, infrastructure expansion, agriculture, manufacturing, energy development and human capital investment. He highlighted the Renewed Hope Ward Development Programme, which targets prod...

Iran said Wednesday it was ready for a long war of attrition that would “destroy” the world economy, after firing on two commercial ships and threatening any vessels from the US or its allies. As Tehran tightened its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, a vital sea passage for the global oil trade, US President Donald Trump said the war would end “soon” as there was little left for US forces to target in Iran.

President Bola Tinubu has removed Dr. Doris Uzoka-Anite as Minister of State for Finance and appointed Mr. Taiwo Oyedele as her replacement, in a dramatic cabinet reshuffle that political observers are linking to last week's explosive budget defence hearing. The development comes exactly seven days after Hon. Alex Mascot Ikwechegh, member representing Aba North/Aba South Federal Constituency, confronted the Minister of Finance over ₦1.15 trillion in approved capital funds that remain undisbursed—with capital projects across Nigeria sitting at zero percent execution. It was Wednesday, February 25th, when Hon. Ikwechegh—a member of the House Committee on Aids and Loans—took the floor at the Appropriation Committee's budget defence session and began firing questions that would ultimately reverberate all the way to Aso Rock. Armed with documents from his committee assignment, he laid out a disturbing pattern: $1.2 billion Digital infrastructure $500 million Economic st...
