Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo just said he will keep having kids forever, even though he is done making them himself. The cycle never stops because his adult children are popping out grandkids, and those grandkids will eventually have their own babies, keeping the whole thing rolling.
Obasanjo dropped these comments while meeting with leaders from the Paediatric Association of Nigeria at his spot inside the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta, Ogun State. Dr. Ekanem Ekure, who runs PAN, brought the crew over for the visit.
He said the never-ending chain of generations makes protecting kids a permanent job for everyone. His own kids are grown, but they are still cranking out children, and his grandchildren are already...
An All Progressives Congress bigwig just claimed President Bola Tinubu never actually killed fuel subsidies. Biodun Ajiboye dropped this take during a segment on Channels Television's Politics Today show, arguing the president just said subsidies were going away but didn't personally axe them.
Ajiboye said that back in May 2023, there was zero chance of keeping subsidies alive, no matter what anyone wanted. He pushed back against critics, asking why Tinubu would declare subsidies dead without getting ready first, questioning how the government could have possibly kept them going when he took office.
The APC member then switched to talking up economic wins under the current administration. He claimed unemployment crashed from 33...
DSS agents just grabbed Abubakar Malami right after he walked out of Kuje Prison. The secret police snatched the ex-Attorney General of the Federation moments after he finished sorting out his bail requirements.
The Department of State Services is hitting Malami with a brand-new investigation. Operatives from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission apparently found weapons at his residence in Kebbi during a search operation.
Malami had already been warning people that DSS was plotting to grab him again from Kuje Prison before he even got out. A Federal High Court cleared him, his wife, and his son for bail at 500 million naira each, with two people vouching for them.
Mohammed Bello Doka, who handles media stuff for Malami, put...
Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu went off on residents who grabbed leaking fuel from a flipped tanker at Liverpool Bridge in Apapa. He called the move reckless and stupid after people ignored every safety concern to scoop up gasoline from the overturned vehicle.
The governor said he was worried about how residents threw caution to the wind during the whole mess, and he warned that type of behavior could easily get people killed. He gave props to emergency crews and cops for jumping on the scene fast and locking everything down before things got worse.
Sanwo-Olu told residents to knock it off with the risky stunts, hammering home that staying alive matters way more than snagging free stuff.
He then switched gears to trash problems...
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu sat down with the head of AIM Congress at his office in Marina. The governor met Walid Farghal, who runs the Annual Investment Meeting operation, and they hammered out plans to pull more international cash into the state.
Sanwo-Olu called the session productive and said they zeroed in on specific sectors where Lagos wants major money flowing in. Tech, infrastructure, and the creative economy topped the list as areas ripe for serious investment action.
The governor said keeping Lagos attractive for big-money opportunities is the main mission. He wants the state positioned to grab a bigger slice of global investment dollars moving around the world.
This sit-down shows how hard the Lagos State...
A Nigerian journalist just beat all criminal charges after a court tossed the entire case against him. Muhammad Mahdi Shehu and his company Dialogue Global Links Limited walked free when a Federal High Court in Kano ruled that prosecutors completely failed to prove anything against them. The judge cleared them on all six counts after accepting a no-case submission.
The Office of the Inspector-General of Police filed the charges back in 2021 on behalf of the Katsina State Government. Shehu got hit with accusations of cybercrime, trashing people's reputations, passing around bogus documents, and spreading lies that supposedly made Katsina State officials look bad.
The whole ordeal dragged on for almost four years and cycled through four...
Nigerian military forces just wrecked multiple terrorist hideouts in the Timbuktu Triangle area. The Joint Task Force North East kicked off a major push under Operation Desert Sanity and completely leveled insurgent camps at three different spots around Chilaria, Garin Faruk, and Abirma. Lt. Colonel Sani Uba from Operation Hadin Kai laid out how soldiers rolled out from their base positions for targeted raids based on solid intel about where the bad guys were holed up.
Air support kept eyes on everything from above during the whole thing. Drones and surveillance planes tracked insurgent movements in real time and stopped reinforcements from showing up, which made the ground assault way more effective.
Soldiers grabbed a ton of gear...
Cops grabbed a suspect after viral clips showed a young Fuji star lifeless. The Ogun State Police Command detained an individual regarding the sudden passing of Adesina Afeez, famously called Destiny Boy. Law enforcement transferred this case to the SCID Homicide Section for a deep dive while detectives grill the prisoner.
Disturbing footage circulated online displaying the twenty-two-year-old corpse inside a car with cotton stuffed in his nostrils. An unnamed buddy later posted a clip claiming the musician battled a hidden sickness beforehand. This associate insisted they tried saving him, hoping to silence wild theories about foul play.
The entertainer started young at T2 Boys Studios in Agege, Lagos, initially dancing for Pasuma...
A Nollywood legend just dragged a messy pastor to court over spicy leaked audio. Eucharia Anunobi is suing Psalm Okpe of Fresh Oil Ministry International Church after he reportedly claimed they were a romantic item for over half a decade. The beef started when a tape surfaced featuring Okpe and a cleric named Martins allegedly discussing intimate encounters with Anunobi and Chikere Nwafor.
Although the founder apologized for the vulgar recording, the actress rejected his regret. She blasted him as a monumental global shame while claiming the lies caused her emotional trauma. The sixty-year-old preacher maintained she has remained completely celibate since joining the clergy nearly fourteen years ago.
She clarified that although she...
