"UNA GO JUDGE ME TIRE, I NO SEND UNA PAPA" - NIGERIAN LADY SAYS AS SHE IS SET TO MARRY HER SWEETHEART 

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has issued a stern warning to the federal government over the rising wave of b@nditry and t+rrorist att+cks across Nigeria. He emphasized that if the government cannot protect its citizens, Nigerians have the right to appeal to the international community for intervention. Obasanjo recalled that during his administration, Nigeria had the capacity to locate t+rrorists, and the main challenge was how to neutralize them effectively. “Today, with modern technology such as drones, there is no reason why the government cannot decisively tackle these criminals,” he said. He criticized the current administration’s reliance on apologies and negotiations with armed groups, saying such approaches only embolden perpetrators. “I urge the government to stop negotiating and start doing the right thing. You cannot keep negotiating with those determined to destroy the country,” Obasanjo stressed. The former president urged President Tinubu’s government to ...

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has dismissed the recent events in Guinea‑Bissau as a genuine coup, describing them instead as a “ceremonial coup.” Speaking after returning from the country, where he led an election observation mission under the West African Elders Forum (WAEF), Jonathan said that it was President Umaro Sissoco Embaló himself who announced the supposed coup and contacted media outlets, claiming he had been arrested. Jonathan explained that this conduct does not reflect how heads of state are treated during real military takeovers. “While it was happening, he was the one calling media organisations to say there was a coup. I’m a Nigerian, and I know how heads of state are treated when there’s a real coup,” he said. He further stated that the elections in Guinea‑Bissau had been peaceful and properly conducted across all nine regions, with vote results ready for announcement before the disruption occurred. Jonathan urged the Economic Community of West Afric...

THREE MEN DRESSED UP AS SHEEP TO SNEAK INTO SPAIN, ENDED UP IN JAIL. 

Amid ongoing political unrest in Guinea-Bissau, former Nigerian President Dr. Goodluck Jonathan has been safely escorted out of the country by military authorities. Jonathan, who was in Guinea-Bissau as part of a delegation of election observers, became stranded along with other foreign officials following a military takeover that suspended the electoral process and sealed the nation’s borders. Sources confirm that the military provided a secure escort for the former president, ensuring his safe departure as part of efforts to de-escalate tensions and manage the presence of international observers. This development comes after the self-styled “High Military Command for the Restoration of Order” seized power, citing concerns over electoral irregularities. While borders have since been reopened, the political future of Guinea-Bissau remains uncertain.

Ogoni youths have expressed strong dissatisfaction over what they described as the improper naming of the newly established Federal University of Environment Technology located in Saakpenwa/Koroma, Tai Local Government Area. Operating under the umbrella of the Ogoni Youths Development Initiative (OYDI), the youths described the dual-location naming as “confusing, strange, and unnecessary.” President-General of OYDI, Comrade Imeabe Saviour Oscar, argued that since Saakpenwa hosts the main campus and has adequate space and facilities for the pioneer programmes, the institution should be officially named Federal University of Environment Technology, Saakpenwa . He noted that Koroma could be considered for a satellite campus in the future, but insisted that including it in the official name at this stage is inappropriate. Oscar observed that other federal universities across Nigeria bear single, specific locations—such as the University of Port Harcourt, Federal University O...

Halima Cissé gave birth to the nonuplets in Morocco. Mali's government flew her there for specialist care. "I'm very happy," her husband told the BBC. "My wife and the babies [five girls and four boys] are doing well." A woman who had eight babies in the US in 2009 holds the Guinness World Record for the most children delivered at a single birth to survive. Two sets of nonuplets have previously been recorded - one born to a woman in Australia in 1971 and another to a woman in Malaysia in 1999 - but none of the babies survived more than a few days.

Former Ekiti State governor Ayo Fayose has revealed that he was so angered by former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s remarks at his 65th birthday celebration that he momentarily felt like grabbing the microphone from him and striking him with it.
