Anambra native doctor sentenced to 11 months imprisonment

Image
A High Court sitting in Awka, Anambra State, on Friday, presided over by Justice Jude Obiora, sentenced a native doctor, Chidozie Nwangwu, popularly known as “Akwa Okuko Tiwaraki”, to 11 months’ imprisonment for his involvement in ritual practices known as “oke ite” and related offences. Nwangwu was arraigned alongside two other native doctors, Eke Hit and Onye Eze, over allegations bordering on money rituals, “oke ite” and preparation of charms for criminals, among other offences. The trio was arrested in February 2025, about a month after the Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, declared a crackdown on native doctors following the signing of the Anambra State Homeland Security Law, which led to the launch of the Agunechemba and Operation Udo-ga-chi security outfits. The state government had argued that the activities of some native doctors were fuelling insecurity in the state, a situation it said had significantly reduced since the introduction of the Agunechemba sec...

Wike: Loud in Abuja, loud in Rivers - The Nation

Image
The outcome OF the polls was a twin victory for Nyesom Wike, the man who has continued to affect the politics of Nigeria in a mesmerising manner. Wike seems to loom over everything political across the country, even in states where they say he is not popular. These are states where those not in his political camp hold sway. As much as his political foes try to put him down in their states, he still manages to rise to their utter consternation. As Federal Capital Territory (FCT) minister, Wike has mastered the art of his high office and married it with his politics both at home in Rivers and outside in Abuja. Last Saturday, council elections and by-elections were held in FCT and in two constituencies in Rivers. The road to the polls was rough and tough, especially in FCT, where the coalition of old and spent politicians threw everything in and not in the books at him for, as they say, personalising the polls. For them, the Abuja elections were a must win. They must be won to...

S3x and the elderly

Image
My wife and I are elderly people who are over the age of 70. Kindly advise us on how to handle the issue of s3x. Kazeem (by SMS) Aging doesn’t mean the end of intimacy. It’s simply the beginning of a different chapter—one where connection, comfort, and emotional depth take centre stage. Those in their 70s, 80s, and even beyond are finding new ways to enjoy s3xual fulfillment. Whether it’s the warm embrace of a longtime partner, rediscovering touch and desire, or navigating physical limitations with creativity, s3x in later life is more about quality than quantity. It’s about feeling close, being seen, and embracing vulnerability. A warm touch, an emotional connection, or even a romantic dinner could spark desire in a way that raw hormonal drive once did. S3xual response may slow down, but it doesn’t disappear. Erections may take longer or require more stimulation. Vaginal lubrication may decrease. But with communication, couples can adapt and discover new rhythms that work ...

27 February 2026 PRESS STATEMENT   ADC REJECTS REVISED INEC TIMETABLE — Says it contains boobytraps Designed to Exclude Opposition from Contesting in 2027.   The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has rejected the Independent National Electoral Commission’s updated 2026–2027 electoral timetable, saying it contains boobytraps that could aid President Tinubu’s plot to be returned unopposed in 2027. Specifically, the party has flagged the new compliance requirements under Sections 77 and 82 of the Electoral Act 2026, which unfairly burden opposition parties while giving undue advantage to the ruling party.   In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the party said the requirement for political parties to submit a comprehensive digital membership register by April 2, 2026 ahead of primaries scheduled between 23 April and 30 May 2026 creates a near impossible hurdle that could exclude other parties from fielding candida...
