She started by chastising us on how we have been our biggest enemy by not supporting each other, we are too individualistic, we have left the sense of common purpose and focused on fragmentation.  She talked about the security challenges and why we should continue to work towards ending it.  She talked about the gas project currently ongoing in the region and encouraged the governors to push on.  She believes we can do better and should hold ourselves to higher standard after all, we Ndi Igbo and should never settle for less.  She pointed out the Budgit statistics figure which shows that some South Eastern states are doing relatively well especially Ebonyi and Anambra, but insisted that it is below expectation as we should aim higher. She admonished the Govs to improve thteir IGR, judicious utilization of the FAAC, debt and challenged the Gov to do better on them.  She talked about infrastructure and how bad we have done so far.  She suggested w...

This story sheds light on the concerning state of corruption in Nigeria, simultaneously evoking both astonishment and amusement. Nigerian President Bola Tinubu presented what appears to be a counterfeit diploma from Chicago State University to an election board in Nigeria, asserting that he graduated from the institution in 1979. While CSU officials have acknowledged his attendance at the university, they are unable to verify the legitimacy of the diploma, which has now become a subject of federal court proceedings. U.S. District Judge Nancy Maldonado recently issued a stay order, preventing CSU officials from having to disclose documents confirming or refuting President Tinubu's claims. This matter has embroiled CSU in an international political controversy, with Tinubu's political adversaries and many Nigerian citizens demanding his removal from office, even though he was elected to lead the country in February. The core issue is the questionable authenticity of t...

"According to my sources, there are offers on the table, including discussions about oil blocks, cabinet positions, high-ranking roles, financial settlements, budget allocations, royalties, board appointments, and diplomatic positions, all contingent on his withdrawal of the case in the United States." @Pidomnigeria. Revealed 

  It has been reported that President Bola Tinubu, somewhat reluctantly, has permitted a federal judge in the United States to release his university certificate to his political opponent, Atiku Abubakar. However, the Nigerian leader appealed to Judge Nancy Maldonado to block the disclosure of further details, including: gender and registration details of the person holding the certificate.Mr. Tinubu's prayers on Monday morning were part of ongoing litigation in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in Chicago. The case was brought by Abubakar, who was leading a court case to  determine whether Tinubu was unfit to be president of Nigeria despite being elected in February 2023.He won the election with a majority of 36% of the vote after Abubakar and Peter Obi, who was his candidate in the 2019 election, fell out and then split their potential votes into at least two,  paving the way for Tinubu. Victory by the narrowest margin in the history of Nige...

Mohbad's death on September 12, 2023, sparked controversy and led to his swift burial the following day. However, amid widespread public outcry for a thorough investigation into his sudden demise, his body was exhumed for an autopsy, as per police reports. Following the autopsy, the singer's remains were placed in a morgue. In a video circulating on X, Prophet Ewulomi has now come forward, expressing a bold demand for access to Mohbad's corpse, with the promise of resurrecting him. In a blend of English and Yoruba, the prophet emphatically stated, "Mohbad can still live again. Give me access to his corpse, and I will awaken him. Yes." 

A stranger comes to you and say help me with only one minute call from your phone, my phone is dead and i need to call someone urgently, and you, being a nice person, you say no problem, take and make the call.

Apart from Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy, who are the prominent figures of the Afrobat movement that has gained global recognition, it's claimed that no other Nigerian musician comes close to matching their wealth. This individual is exceptionally wealthy and incredibly liquid in terms of assets and resources. In the Lekki area alone, they own over 100 properties that are rented out for income. In Ajah, they are among the largest landowners, holding vast hectares of undeveloped land. Their immense wealth is not solely attributable to musical talent, as they are not necessarily a better singer than their peers. Unlike many other musicians who spend a significant portion of their time touring abroad for Nigerian audiences overseas, this individual is primarily focused on local activities. Their music style is explicit and caters to a niche audience, which limits their mainstream appeal. What sets them apart is a persistent rumor that they are involved in a drug empire, al...

it's interesting to see how Ebonyi Broadcasting Television (EBT) is taking action in response, to the ban on Naira Marleys songs. They have made it clear that they want all Marlians albums removed from their studio immediately. EBT has also warned their staff about playing any Marlians songs within the studio emphasizing that doing so could lead to termination and even legal consequences. Furthermore EBTs management has sent a message to celebrities urging them to support and guide emerging talents instead of putting them down. Overall it seems like EBT and the people of Ebonyi are making an effort to shape an environment, for artists while upholding standards. It will be interesting to see how this initiative unfolds.

The unexpected passing of Ilerioluwa Promise Aloba, widely known as 'Mohbad,' on the evening of September 12, 2023, sent shockwaves and sorrow throughout Nigeria and among Nigerians worldwide. Although it has been approximately a week since his demise, the circumstances surrounding Mohbad's death continue to evolve, becoming increasingly complex, unsettling, and an unresolved enigma that captures the attention of concerned Nigerians. The sequence of events leading to his premature passing, and the disturbing possibility of him being buried alive, can be summarized as follows: It all began with his signing to Marlian Records, followed by his desire to change his manager, which led to harassment and intimidation.  Subsequently, he found himself hospitalized and decided to part ways with Marlian Records. However, even after leaving the record label, he continued to face harassment from his former associates.  Tragically, he passed away on September 12, 2023, and hi...

A Cautionary Tale: Beware of Blackmail Recently, a young widow and mother of children from Ezza North engaged in an ill-advised encounter at a hotel in Abakaliki with a much younger man. Shockingly, she allowed this individual to record explicit videos of her in compromising situations, without considering the consequences for her children. The young man, taking advantage of the situation, has been using these images and videos to exploit the woman whenever he senses her vulnerability due to financial needs. She sought my help at my office today, revealing the painful truth that she even used her children's supposed school fees to appease him just five days ago. This man, known for his notoriety and recognizable by his small car in the A.I area, continues to extort money from the woman while maintaining a sexual relationship with her, sometimes without protection. She provided me with evidence of the money transfers she made to him over time. As of yesterday, he had coe...

Amidst recent developments, the retired justice refuted the comments attributed to her husband, stating that she had "never shown favoritism towards any party" during her tenure as a judge. However, in his ruling on Tuesday, Justice Ekwo determined that the most logical interpretation of Bulkachuwa's statement was that it contradicted the law. "It's straightforward; he influenced his wife," Ekwo stated, going on to assert that this constitutes a form of corruption. Ekwo deemed the lawmaker's statement an admission of wrongdoing that warrants investigation and possible prosecution. The judge further stated that the plaintiff could face arrest based on his statement, emphasizing that the National Assembly is not a sanctuary for individuals involved in crimes related to the manipulation of the criminal justice system. "In my opinion, this case lacks merit and should be dismissed. Therefore, the case is dismissed," Ekwo concluded.

You've been my unwavering partner in every endeavor, a constant source of joy and laughter throughout our remarkable 36-year journey together.

We've rejoiced in our victories and faced down the challenges of defeat, all the while bound by an unbreakable connection. Our bond has grown even stronger through the trials and tribulat...

 What happened in my home is sort of stuff you see in famed television program- Super Story. Exactly one month ago, my family hired this 23 year old young lady, Happy Yahuda into our home. During the interview session, I had asked he where she hails from. When she told me she hails from Zango-Kataf in Kaduna state I felt comfortable considering my history with Kaduna, having attended secondary school there.  Again, I asked where she had been before showing up at my home. She told the story of where she had worked previously and that her former employer travelled out of the country. I didn’t immediately see any red flag. So, I agreed for her to stay. We already have in our employ a janitor who comes in three days a week and does an excellent job. We have two very young children and this was the long holiday.  My wife and I work full time coupled with my frequent travels. We needed a minder for the children. Not that we left them alone with her at home. No. He...

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has distanced himself from a statement issued by an individual claiming to be his wife, Taiwo Obasan, who had pleaded for forgiveness on his behalf. This appeal for forgiveness followed a controversial statement made by the former president during the inauguration of projects in Iseyin, Oyo state, which was organized by Governor Seyi Makinde. In the statement titled "Oyo Kings: A Plea for Forgiveness," Taiwo Obasanjo humbly requested "permanent and eternal forgiveness and pardon" from the entire Yoruba community, including sons and daughters, parents, youths, religious groups (Christians, Muslims, traditional worshippers), leaders in Yoruba land, and the Council of Kings in Yoruba land. However, former President Obasanjo has clarified that Taiwo Obasan is neither his wife nor a member of the Obasanjo family. Despite having two children with her, he categorically stated that she is an impostor. In a statement issued by his Special A...

The Chairman of the Ondo State People’s Democratic Party, Olumide Akinrinlola, has condemned former President Olusegun Obasanjo for allegedly insulting some monarchs of Oyo State.The viral video byshows Obasanjo ordering the traditional rulers of Oyo State to stand and salute the state governor, Seyi Makinde during the inauguration of the project in Iseyin on Friday. The Ondo PDP leader in his statement on Saturday said Obasanjo ordered the royal fathers to stand and also reprimanded them for not showing up when the governor entered the arena. According to him, it was necessary for the former president to write a letter of apology to the traditional rulers. He said: “With all due respect to the elder statesman, father and former president of our country, I regret to say that this is an excessive insult.”In fact, traditional thrones are sacred and predate any president, governor, or other human being.«Traditional institutions enjoy respect around the world.  The respect we give our ...

On Monday, Tinubu pleaded with an American federal judge to disregard records that suggested a woman may have been admitted to Chicago State University in the 1970s, claiming that his Nigerian political rival Atiku Abubakar was attempting to sabotage him in the current lawsuit involving academic records. The practice of sandbagging one's opponent by bringing up a new issue in response has been proved beyond a reasonable doubt, according to Mr. Tinubu, who made this claim in a document submitted on September 11 to Judge Jeffrey Gilbert of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Christopher Carmichael, one of Mr. Tinubu's attorneys in the case, intervened in today's argument on the president of Nigeria's behalf. The statement appeared to be a last-minute attempt by Mr. Gilbert to downplay the hearing scheduled for tomorrow. Mr. Gilbert had suggested that all parties go before the court on Tuesday afternoon because there were str...

The mosque, situated toward the side of the popular Jemaa el-Fna square, had a delightful pinnacle which, once enhanced with white triangle improvement, has essentially imploded in the strong tremor that struck the region on Friday night.

  FCT  Minister Nyesom Wike reacted to the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal (PEPC) ruling by saying that campaign petitions on social media are not won. In an interview with Channels Television’s Politics Today program on Thursday,  Wike said the campaign petition was “a special case, not propaganda”. His words: "I've always told people that a campaign is not like anything else." This is a specific domain. It's not because of propaganda. “You don't earn it with social media.  This is a presentation of evidence and facts. You didn't say that to your followers out there. "I sat there for no less than 10 hours watching the judges carefully consider each point, from preliminary objections to questions, to objections to documents and evidence to substantive issues." The former Rivers state governor said He also knew the LP Labor Party candidate would not win the election. "I ...
