That information is not completely correct.

Alhaji Atiku visited Aregbesola at his country home in Ilesha Osun State (and not Lagos). While the political reason may not be completely ruled out, today is the coronation of the new Owa Obokun (king) of Ijesaland (Ilesha)

Aregbesola as well as Atiku's first wife, Titilayo are indigenes of Ilesha, so it is not surprising to see Atiku, their in-law, being invited to the ceremony.

How can anyone believe that this man is our Minister of Defence? Does he look like someone that can defend himself if bandits attack him?

Tinubu didn't get this one right at all

And to imagine this is supposedly a journalist living abroad? Chai Dayo Akinsuyi. Your hatred for Tinumbu has affected y0ur reason1ng ab1l1ty. No wonder you fall hook, line and sinker for any tr@sh by WaIe 0laIeye. Ndi yellow journal1sts

Defection, as used by StatiSense, in this analysis is incorrect.

What is defection? It is desertion of one's country or cause (or party, in this case) in favour of an opposing (existing) one.

Tinubu has not defected to another existing party since 1999.

He was with the Alliance for Democracy (AD) from 1999 to 2007, helped form the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in 2006, and was key in merging parties to create the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2013. And the moment APC was formed, ACN (just like C) became defunct.

These transitions were due to party formations and mergers, not traditional defections. The sequence AD to ACN to APC is accurate but reflects new party creations rather than ing existing.

I know it will be developers. Very miserable beings...

White smoke is pouring out of the Sistine Chapel chimney, signalling that a pope has been elected to lead the Catholic Church.

That means the winner secured at least 89 votes of the 133 cardinals participating in the conclave to elect a successor to Pope Francis. The crowd in St. Peter’s Square erupted in cheers. The name will be announced later, when a top cardinal utters the words “Habemus papam!” Latin for “We have a pope!” from the loggia of St. Peter’s Basilica. The cardinal then reads the winner’s birth name in Latin, and reveals the name he has chosen to be called.

The new pope is then expected to make his first public appearance and impart a blessing from the same loggia.

Popular social media activist, Martins Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan, VDM, has regained his freedom from the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

DAILY POST reports that VDM has been in the custody of the anti-graft agency since he was arrested in Abuja on Friday.

There has been uproar across the nation with Nigeria youths demanding his immediate and unconditional release.

EFCC said on Tuesday that the arrest followed a series of petitions against the activist, claiming that several invitations were communicated to him but he failed to honour them.

In an update on his official Facebook page on Wednesday evening, an activist cum politician, Omoyele Sowore, said “VDM Released”!

Setting The Records Straight/Public Apology To Seyi Tinubu

Please permit me dear Nigerians to set the record straight regarding my video that currently went viral across social media platforms. In the video, I alleged that the son of the President, Mr Seyi' Tinubu and the Minister of Youths and Sport, Ayodele Olawande, invited me to Lagos. I further stated that the Minister and I hugged , and thereafter offered me #100,000,000 to President Bola Ahmad Tinubu but that I rejected the offer.

In the video, I also alleged that, for what they considered my stubbornness to reject their #100,000,000, I was on the 15th of April, 2025 abducted, stripped naked and thoroughly beaten up and in connivance with the MD of the Nigerian Television Authority ( NTA), I was taken to the station where an involuntary statement purportedly abdicating my position as NANS President was obtained under duress.

It has become imperative to note that the offer of N100,000,000 which was alleged was made to me to President Tinubu was clearly untrue as Ladoja Olusola, who was desperate to get me out of my legitimate position as the duly elected President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), fed me the lies and half truths for the sole purpose of achieving his selfish agenda of taking over the reigns of the student body through the back doors.

It was also Ladoja Olusola, who warned me that Mr Seyi Tinubu could order my killing and thereafter instruct the Inspector General of Police, Mr Kayode Egbetokum, to bury the matter.

It also stated among other things, that Seyi' Tinubu led thugs to the venue of my Inauguration. This was very untrue. I made these claims owing to the picture of Seyi Tinubu painted to me by Ladoja Olusola who swore to me that Seyi was doing everything to ensure I am not alive to serve my tenure as NANS president. Infact, I later found out that Mr Seyi' was nowhere near the venue.

Comr Atiku Isah NANS President

This woman has a lot of questions to answer. She should come out with her evidences against Senator Akpabio

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has explained why it arrested popular rights activist Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkBlackMan (VDM).

Speaking to BBC News Pidgin, EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale said the arrest was made following several petitions from individuals who had complaints against the activist.

“We arrested him to respond to a series of allegations raised against him by some petitioners,” Oyewale said.

When asked if the petitions were connected to GT Bank, he explained that the complaints came from different people and that the EFCC has a duty to protect the identities and interests of those who reported the matter.

He added, “We will release him once he meets the bail conditions, and we will take the case to court as soon as possible. We are law-abiding.”

Oyewale also confirmed that the activist was arrested in Abuja.

The development comes shortly after VeryDarkMan went to a bank in Abuja with his mother to inquire about her .

EFCC secures court order to remand VeryDarkMan, prepares charges

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has secured a court order to remand social media activist, Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), pending the conclusion of an investigation into alleged cybercrime offences.

VDM was arrested last Friday at a bank branch in the Wuse area of Abuja by a combined team of EFCC operatives, officers of the Department of State Services (DSS), and the Nigeria Police Force.

Eyewitnesses said he was accosted shortly after exiting the bank premises.
His arrest sparked widespread outrage on social media, with the hashtag #FreeVDM trending across platforms throughout the weekend.

Critics have accused authorities of using security agencies to silence dissenting voices.

Sources close to the investigation confirmed that the EFCC is preparing to file charges under Nigeria’s Cybercrimes Act, which empowers the commission to investigate and prosecute cybercrimes, particularly those involving financial and economic crimes.

“The remand order was granted to allow us to complete our investigation and finalize the charges,” a senior EFCC official said, adding that “he would be arraigned once we conclude that process, and the charges are expected to be substantial,” a source said.

As of Monday morning, VDM remains in the custody of the EFCC. His legal representative, Deji Adeyanju, issued a formal statement last week confirming that they are seeking access to him and reviewing possible legal actions.

The EFCC has not issued an official statement on the arrest or the charges.

In agreement with the voice in the new leaked audio released by Dr. Sandra Duru, the Linkedin profile of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan actually shows that she worked with Brass NLG in Lagos between June 2007 and December 2010, a period of 3 years, 7 months.

In the leaked audio, one could hear a lady's voice boasting that she worked with Brass LNG in Lagos for 4 years.

She said:

"...Imagine when I got my second baby, at the age of 26, , my second son, I got a job in Lagos, Brass LNG, and I shuffled (every staff of Brass LNG will testify). I will leave Abuja Monday morning, stayed in Lagos Monday to Friday, Friday I fly back. I did that for 4 years..."

Akpoti was born in December 1979, so she was about 27 years when she worked with Brass LNG in 2007.

The suspended Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, recently visited the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, at his Abuja residence to beg for reconciliation, TIMES has learnt.

The visit came a few days after Mr Fubara held a meeting in London with President Bola Tinubu over his (Fubara) political feud with Mr Wike, which led to Mr Tinubu declaring an emergency rule in the oil-rich Rivers and suspending Mr Fubara and other elected officials for an initial six months.

TIMES learnt from sources that Mr Fubara was led to Mr Wike’s residence by Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State and Olusegun Osoba, a former governor of Ogun.

“Fubara was brought to the minister’s house on Friday, 18 April. He prostrated for Wike while holding his legs and calling him, ‘My Oga’,” one of the sources said.

“He was in Wike’s house till the wee hours of Saturday, 19 April,” the source added.

The meeting outcome remains a secret, as those familiar with it have been unwilling to speak. Still, our reporter gathered that Mr Fubara was told to assemble his ers in Rivers, especially the elders, and tell them the “truth” about his feud with Mr Wike.

Mr Wike’s spokesperson, Lere Olayinka, confirmed to TIMES that the meeting occurred, but said he was not privy to what was discussed.

When ed, Nelson Chukwudi, a spokesperson to Mr Fubara, said, “I don’t respond to this kind of enquiry. You can the commissioner for information.”

The Commissioner for Information in Rivers, Joseph Johnson, did not respond to calls from our reporter.

Background
Mr Fubara and his predecessor, Mr Wike, fell apart in less than six months after Mr Fubara assumed office as governor.

The political crisis split the state’s legislature into two factions, with 27 lawmakers loyal to Mr Wike and three to Mr Fubara. The governor had recognised the three-member faction because he believed the others “lost” their seats in the assembly since they had “defected” from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress.

However, the 28 February 2025 Supreme Court judgement tipped the balance of power in favour of Mr Wike and his allies.

The court reinstated the pro-Wike faction as the legitimate Rivers assembly, stopped federal allocations to the state, and nullified the local elections earlier conducted by Mr Fubara’s istration.

On 14 March, the Rivers House of Assembly served a notice of alleged misconduct against Mr Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu, as a preliminary step for their impeachment.

In a notice addressed to the Speaker, Martin Amaewhule, the 26 lawmakers, among other things, accused Mr Fubara of spending Rivers funds without approval from the state assembly and appointing people to run the government without the required screening and confirmation.

The lawmakers also accused Mr Fubara of hindering or obstructing the assembly from its constitutional functions and seizing salaries, allowances, and funds belonging to lawmakers, the clerk, and the assembly.

They accused the Deputy Governor, Mrs Odu, of “conniving and ing the illegal appointment of persons to occupy offices/positions in the Rivers State Government without allowing for the requirement of screening and confirmation”.

The impeachment plot began about the time Mr Fubara removed the elected chairpersons of the local councils in obedience to the Supreme Court rulings. The governor said he was willing to implement all the Supreme Court’s decisions.

Nigerians have expressed outrage over the emergency rule in Rivers and the removal of Mr Fubara and other elected officials.

Trossard:


I was surprised to read that. Even the date he wrote there is still shocking to me. Which one is 1907 again?

Como 1907 is the full name of the football club. It was founded in 1970 hence the name.

NewDigitalWorld:

8. Cesc Fàbregas – Como 1907 (Co-Owner & Assistant Coach)

After ing Italian club Como 1907 as a player, Fàbregas quickly transitioned into a leadership role, becoming part-owner and later taking up coaching duties. He is currently involved in the club’s strategic development and has spoken openly about his dream of helping Como return to Italy’s top flight. His presence has attracted attention from sponsors, fans, and young players.

This is obviously an old post or the author is not in tune with the latest happenings. Cesc Fabregas is both co-owner and Coach (not assistant coach) of Como

and

Como now play in the Serie A which is the top flight of Italian leagues.

MURDER: NPF COMPLETES EXTRADITION OF BENJAMIN BEST NNAYEREUGO ALIAS "KILLABOI" TO FACE CHARGES
‎
‎As IGP Appreciates AGF, INTERPOL, Assures of Diligent Prosecution
‎
‎The Nigeria Police Force has successfully completed the extradition of Benjamin Best Nnayereugo, male, widely known as “Killaboi,” from Doha, Qatar to Nigeria. The fugitive, who had been on the run for the murder of Miss Augusta Oseodion Onuwabhagbe, was returned to the country in the early hours of today, Saturday, 19th April 2025, through the coordinated efforts with the Ministry of Justice, INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB), Force Headquarters Abuja and the Qatari Judicial Authorities.
‎
‎The extradition followed a petition from the family of the deceased, submitted through their legal representatives dated 29th September 2024. The matter was assigned to INTERPOL NCB Abuja for investigation. Investigations revealed that the suspect, Benjamin Best Nnayereugo, murdered Miss Onuwabhagbe, a 21-year-old first-class student of Lead City University, Ibadan, at his residence located at No. 24A Abiola Apooyi Street, Oral Estate, Ajah, Lagos, on 13th July 2023. After committing the crime, he fled Nigeria and later released an online video purporting to confess to the act, a deceptive strategy to derail investigative efforts.
‎
‎Following his declaration as wanted by the NPF Lagos State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) on 13th October 2023, an INTERPOL Red Notice was issued for his global apprehension. He was initially arrested in Freetown, Sierra Leone, on 20th October 2023 under the false identity “KANU PRINCETON SAMUEL,” but escaped custody during a prison break on 26th November 2023 in Feeetown.
‎
‎Further intelligence gathering revealed that the suspect continued to evade law enforcement, traversing multiple regions including West Africa, East Asia and the Middle East, under forged identities before eventually relocating to Doha, Qatar on 24th January, 2025. Operating under the alias “TOURE ABDOULAYE” with a fraudulent Guinean port, he secured illegal employment and concealed his identity.
‎
‎Through robust international cooperation and the use of advanced biometrics, INTERPOL NCB Abuja, in collaboration with INTERPOL NCB Doha, confirmed his identity, leading to his arrest by Qatari authorities in February 2025. An official extradition request, processed via the Federal Ministry of Justice, Abuja, was subsequently approved by the Qatari judicial authorities, resulting in his repatriation to Nigeria.
‎
‎The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, while recognising the strength in the synergy amongst nations to curb trans-border crimes, commended the diligence of INTERPOL NCB Abuja and extended sincere appreciation to the Honorable Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, the Government of Qatar, INTERPOL NCB Doha, and the Nigerian Embassy in Qatar for their invaluable collaboration in securing the fugitive’s return.
‎
‎The Inspector-General of Police further assured the general public of the Nigeria Police Force's commitment to ensuring that the suspect faces diligent prosecution, as part of the NPF’s dedication to justice and the safety of all Nigerians.

.... installed as Obalefun-Agbaye of Obatala Worshippers Worldwide in Badagry.

The title was conferred on Mr Rhodes-Vivour by a group of traditional religion worshippers (Obatala worshippers), led by Oba Adedokun Ayinla, the Alase Oosa Agbaye Worldwide.

Even in your confusion and hypocrisy, you can not read what you wrote.

He was given a title by a group of traditional religion worshippers. How does that translate to a chieftaincy title in Badagry? It is just like a church wake up one day and make you an elder in their church. Does that translate to the King or indigenes of Badagry honouring him?

Forbes has been scanning the globe for billionaires since 1987.

We found 140 of them that first year. It took two decades for their numbers to swell beyond 1,000. Then there were 2,000 in 2017. Now, eight years later, another milestone: 3,028 entrepreneurs, investors and heirs make up this year’s ranking, 247 more than a year ago.

Not only are there more of them, but they’re richer than ever, worth $16.1 trillion in total—up nearly $2 trillion over 2024. The U.S. has a record 902 billionaires, followed by China (516, including Hong Kong) and India (205). We used stock prices and exchange rates from March 7, 2025.
