According to reports, Abosede was in a relationship with Adebayo and was involved in a property transaction alongside her 84-year-old mother, Amoke.

Wike’s aide Lere Olayinka fires back at Makinde over vagabond comment

Image
Lere Olayinka, media aide to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has fired back at the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, over a recent comment against his principal. DAILY POST reports that Makinde on Tuesday threw jabs at Wike, for saying he (Wike) is interested in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Oyo State. Speaking at a PDP National Executive Council meeting, the minister said above any other thing, he is interested in the PDP structure in the state being led by Makinde. The comment, however, didn’t go well with the Oyo State governor, who is an arch rival of Wike. Speaking at the opening of a new PDP secretariat on Tuesday, Makinde described Wike and other members of the PDP faction as vagabonds, insisting that the Oyo chapter of the party remained stable, focused and united. “In Yoruba land, we always say that if you see a house or compound that is peaceful, the vagabond in that house has not grown up. “The vagabond in PDP, they grew u...

Why Tattoos Are Not Sinful – Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo

Image
Popular relationship coach, Kingsley Okonkwo, has challenged the belief that tattoos are wrong for Christians, saying there is no scriptural or scientific proof to support this view. TopTori reports that he revealed this during an interview on News Central TV. The David’s Christian Centre pastor explained that opposition to tattoos often comes from personal opinions, church rules, or individual interpretations rather than the Bible. He said that many people treat tattoos as a moral issue without providing clear reasons. According to him, claiming tattoos are bad without evidence is unfair and misleading. Okonkwo also spoke against judging people by their appearance, warning that such thinking limits growth and understanding. He compared the stigma around tattoos to blaming clothing for crime. For instance, he asked whether jeans should be considered bad just because someone wore them while committing a robbery. The pastor stressed that tattoos do not determine a person’s ch...

PRESIDENT TINUBU REACTS TO FELA’S GRAMMY LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT HONOR

Image
  The world of music has honoured a giant: Fela Anikulapo Kuti. Fela was more than a musician. He was a fearless voice of the people, a philosopher of freedom, and a revolutionary force whose music confronted injustice and reshaped global sound.  His courage, creativity, and conviction defined a generation and continue to inspire the world. In Yoruba mythology, he has transcended to a higher plane as an Orisa. He is now eternal.  Fela Kuti has blazed the trail with the Recording Academy of America's Lifetime Achievement Award, becoming the first African to receive this honour, though posthumously.  The award is an affirmation of his enduring global influence and the foundational role he has played in the evolution and impact of Africa on modern music.  He defined Afrobeat, and you can hear and see his influence in generations of Nigerian musicians and in Afrobeats and beyond.

Image
Eighty worshippers who escaped abduction during a bandit attack on Kurmin Wali community in Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State have returned to their homes, nearly two weeks after the incident. However, dozens of others remain in captivity as security agencies intensify efforts to rescue the abducted victims. The village head of Kurmin Wali, Ishaku Danazumi, said the returnees fled when armed bandits invaded the community during a church service on January 18, 2026, abducting several worshippers and forcing others to escape into surrounding areas for safety. According to him, the 80 worshippers returned home in good health, while 86 others are still being held by the kidnappers. Security sources attributed the return of the displaced residents to sustained military operations targeting bandit hideouts across Kajuru and adjoining forest corridors. Confirming the development, the spokesman of the Kaduna State Police Command, Mansir Hassan, said the Divisional Police...
