ELON MUSK BECOMES WORLD'S FIRST TRILLIONAIRE.


After SpaceX raised a record $75 billion in its IPO, Musk’s net worth shot up to top $1.1 trillion when the stock began trading Friday, putting him in an economic class of his own.

Combined with his holdings in electric vehicle maker Tesla, as well as other investments and assets, Musk's net worth is now estimated at about $1.1 trillion.

Musk's stake in the rocket and satellite company alone is now estimated at a staggering $690 billion, but it's also a life-changing moment for thousands of workers at the company who hold equity.

Investors who watched Musk help turn Tesla into an automotive giant are now betting he can do the same in space and artificial intelligence, as SpaceX launches the largest IPO in history.

Popular singer Davido has left those around him laughing after sharing a hilarious but seemingly serious warning about helping people. “In life, you never know where your kindness can take you,” Davido said. “It can either take you up or down.” But just when it seemed like he was about to deliver a motivational speech, the 30BG crooner switched things up and dropped the line that takes one into deep thinking. “That is why when you help people, always keep receipts. Don’t play with me,” he added. Apparently, according to Davido, helping people is good, but make sure you have evidence to show for it.

OGONI OIL AND GAS HOST COMMUNITIES YOUTH ASSOCIATION CALLS ON OGONI DIALOGUE COMMITTEE TO BE ACCOUNTABLE TO THE PEOPLE

Image
The Ogoni Oil and Gas Host Communities Youth Association has called on the Ogoni Dialogue Committee to demonstrate transparency and accountability by immediately briefing the people of Ogoniland on the outcome of its meeting held in Abuja on September 9, 2026. As critical stakeholders who live with the direct and lasting consequences of oil and gas activities, we believe the people of Ogoniland have the right to know what was discussed, the decisions reached, and any agreements or understandings arising from the Abuja meeting. The Association therefore demands that the full details and outcome of the meeting be made public without further delay. Furthermore, we strongly reject the exclusion of the Ogoni Oil and Gas Host Communities Youth Association from the ongoing dialogue concerning the possible resumption of oil and gas exploration and related activities in Ogoniland. It is unacceptable that young people from the host communities—who continue to bear the consequences of...

Image
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has opened up about his failed engagement to actress Shailene Woodley, making fresh claims about what led to their split. The 42 year old NFL star and the 34 year old actress began dating in 2020 and got engaged in December of the same year before publicly confirming their relationship in 2021. They eventually split in 2022. Speaking during a podcast on Thursday, September 10, Rodgers claimed Woodley asked to be intimate with another man shortly after accepting his proposal. “I date Shailene, I propose and she says yes,” he recalled. “She maybe felt like she was forced to make a decision, she could have said no. But not a couple of days after that, she tells me before we get married like, ‘I got to go f+ck this guy.’” Rodgers stated that Woodley later removed her engagement ring by March, adding that they made several attempts to reconcile but never got back together. “‘Cause her story is, I ruined her life and gave her crazy de...

Recalling the ordeal, the woman said “He was a lot bigger than I was,I tried pushing him away, but he overpowered me. My brain just switched into survival mode. It was either I do what he says, and I get home to my mum, or he is going to k+ll me.” She said Oladele repeatedly threatened her and told her, “I am going to put a black baby in you.” After the att@ck, he told her,“I think you’ve had enough now.

WHY IT IS BETTER TO HELP RICH PEOPLE THAN HELPING THOSE WHO HAVE NOTHING - FOOD CRITIC, OPEYEMI FAMAKIN EXPLAINS

Image
Media personality and food critic Opeyemi Famakin has sparked reactions after explaining why he believes helping wealthy people can sometimes be more beneficial than helping those who have little or poor.  Famakin said repeatedly helping people who have nothing can sometimes create a sense of entitlement, with beneficiaries eventually seeing their helpers as a permanent source of financial support.  In his words; “Nigerians have created something called ‘my helper.’ Once you help someone, they see you as, ‘Oh, this person is my helper.’ When I need something, this person is the person that I can always run to.”  He added: “When you give them free, and you stop giving them, they will start misbehaving. I believe it is better to help people who already have than to help those who have nothing.”  Famakin shared an experience involving a staff member whom he had repeatedly assisted financially, including increasing his salary, but who later returned to ask fo...

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT REACHES SECRET CEASEFIRE DEAL WITH BOKO HARAM FACTION LED BY BAKURA DORO - REPORT

Image
The Nigerian government has reportedly entered a secret ceasefire agreement with the Boko Haram faction led by Bakura Doro, according to The New Humanitarian, in a development said to have contributed to a relative lull in vi%lence across parts of northeastern Nigeria since June.  Sources with links to senior Boko Haram members told the publication that the truce was connected to negotiations for the release of more than 300 civilians abd¥cted in March from Ngoshe in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State.  The victims spent about 95 days in captivity before their release, which the government described as the result of an intelligence-led operation involving Operation Hadin Kai and the State Security Service (SSS). However, The New Humanitarian reported that negotiations involving government representatives, intermediaries and insurgents preceded the release.  The report also alleged that N5 billion was paid as ransom, although the Nigerian government has...
