Legend beer just backed the chillest festival around. Legend Extra Stout sponsored the Palmwine Music Festival for shows in Abuja and Lagos. The event featured curated lineups, but the Lagos night got wild with surprise appearances from Tems and Odumodu Blvck.
It started at the Jabi Boat Club in Abuja with sets from acts like Ladipoe, BOJ, Ajebutter, and Moelogo. The vibe was intimate and relaxed, with the beer brand integrated into the crowd and backstage moments. The festival then moved to The Fidelity Ground in Oniru, Lagos. That lineup included Show Dem Camp, BOJ again, Ladipoe, Tay Iwar, Lady Donli, Prettyboy D-O, and Moonchild Sanelly. The real highlights were unannounced, as Tems joined Show Dem Camp on stage and Odumodu Blvck...
Wike says hating on him is a solid business plan. The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, claimed the easiest method to get money from the Rivers State government is to publicly insult him. He made these comments in the Ochigba community, Ahoada East LGA, after a thanksgiving event for former Deputy Speaker Chibudom Nwuche. Wike stated that Rivers has always been viewed as a cash cow in politics.
He explained that anyone wanting funds should just declare they will deal with him or say enough is enough, and cash will drop. Wike joked about the state having around six hundred billion naira available, suggesting critics use his name as a keyword for payment. The gathering included political figures like Senators Magnus...
A Muslim group is asking who really called that U.S. drone strike. The Muslim Public Affairs Centre, led by Executive Chairman Disu Kamor, is pressing the Nigerian government for full clarity on the American military operation in Sokoto State. MPAC firmly condemns terrorism, but is disturbed that Washington announced the strike first. They argue that any action on Nigerian soil should be communicated by Nigerian authorities to preserve national dignity.
The organization warned that security cooperation with foreign partners must not create dependency. They questioned the official line that Nigerian intelligence helped, but U.S. capability was needed for the strike, pointing out Nigeria's own past military projections. MPAC cited risks...
Epe is about to blow up over a vacant throne. Residents and youth leaders are begging the Lagos State Government to fix the Obaship crisis left after Oba Shefiu Olatunji Adewale, the Olu of Epe, died seven months ago. A dispute between two contenders has stalled everything, creating major tension. The situation got so bad that local authorities canceled Eid prayers recently over security fears, though the state later reinstated them.
Community members say this lack of a monarch is messing up their traditions and daily life. Despite some state-led peace talks, nothing concrete has happened to pick a new king. Youth groups have sent petitions warning that further delay risks a total breakdown of order. A delegation even visited Chief...
The government is sending 7,000 new forest guards to fight bandits. National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu announced the immediate deployment of these guards to seven pilot states: Adamawa, Borno, Kwara, Kebbi, Niger, Sokoto, and Yobe. He stated the force will operate in troubled communities and ungoverned forest areas to gather intelligence and support broader security operations. The guards just finished a tough three-month training program involving endurance drills and patrol simulations.
Ribadu explained this is the pilot phase of the Presidential Forest Guards initiative, launched by President Bola Tinubu. Instructors from the Army, Navy, DSS, Police, Civil Defence, National Park Service, and National Intelligence Agency ran the...
A senior lawmaker is demanding American airstrikes in the northeast. Former Senate Leader Ali Ndume has called on the federal government to broaden its joint military campaign with the United States to target terrorist bases in that region. He applauded the confirmed U.S. strikes on ISIS hideouts in Sokoto State's Tangaza area, an operation backed by Nigerian intelligence. Ndume identified three key insurgent strongholds: Lake Chad, Mandara Mountain, and the Sambisa Forest, where groups like ISWAP and Boko Haram are active.
He urged expanded support covering ground troop training, intelligence, and logistics, plus attack helicopter coverage for soldiers. Ndume also emphasized accountability for the country's substantial defense budget...
A politician just called critics of U.S. airstrikes traitors. Chief Ben Adaji, an APC chieftain and former House of Reps candidate from Kogi, said President Bola Tinubu should label anyone opposing the recent American military action as an enemy of Nigeria. He made these comments in Jalingo, Taraba State, targeting Islamic clerics who criticized the reported U.S. strikes on terrorist spots in the North-West.
Adaji called the criticism pure hypocrisy or proof of helping the terrorists. He stated that Nigerians have suffered massively from these violent groups, with uncountable lives lost and property wrecked. He found it insane that anyone would sympathize with the militants unless they were involved themselves. The politician pushed...
Maybe the lights will actually stay on this time. The Nigerian government says power generation is getting better because a major gas pipeline got fixed. Officials from the Nigerian Independent System Operator reported that the Lagos-Escravos gas line, which was damaged by vandals, is now back in action after repairs by the Nigerian Gas Infrastructure Company. This fix is sending more gas to several big thermal power plants across the country.
The statement also mentioned that other thermal plants are ready to go, just waiting for their own gas deliveries. To keep everything stable, the plants that are back online are slowly ramping up their power output. This news comes after a rough period where parts of the national grid failed...
A mega-church pastor is stoked about American drones smoking terrorists. Dr. Paul Enenche, the General Overseer of Dunamis International Gospel Center, publicly celebrated a U.S. military strike in Sokoto State. He spoke during a service in Abuja, referencing an operation where American forces, with Nigerian government approval, launched missiles against Islamic extremists. Enenche, who has often criticized the ongoing violence, said more terrorists need to go.
He declared that the assailants, their financial backers, and anyone helping them should all get the same harsh treatment. Enenche mocked those who claimed they would fight American forces, telling them to go fight the drones instead. He called anyone who speaks up for a...
