Brain Jotter said, “I have a friend who is advising me to start making content as a crossdresser. I’m not interested because I’ve tried it before. “There was a time I was creating content with the character Madam Ogadi in a church and the audience were applauding my performances.

 S’ Court reserves judgement in Binani’s case against Fintiri The Supreme Court has deferred its decision on the appeal lodged by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its gubernatorial candidate, Aisha Dahiru, widely known as Binani, against Adamawa state governor Ahmadu Fintiri. Binani’s challenge to Fintiri’s victory in the gubernatorial election held last year was previously dismissed by both the tribunal and the Court of Appeal. Following arguments presented by the parties involved, the five-member panel, headed by John Okoro, adjourned the case for judgment. During the proceedings, Binani’s main argument, as articulated by her counsel, Akin Olujimi, centered on the legality of the contentious declaration made by the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Hudu Ari. This stance echoed the tribunal’s October 28 decision, which rejected Binani’s petition due to her failure to substantiate allegations of overvoting. The tribunal deemed her case lacking in evidence, as she did not submit n

 Only Africans won't accept blessings for same-sex couples -- Pope Pope Francis  has expressed confidence that critics of blessings for same-sex couples, except Africans, would gradually accept  his position. According to Reuters, the pope said in an interview published on Monday that Africans were a “special case” in the opposition of bishops and many other people in the continent to homosexuality. The pope  allowed blessings  last month in a document called Fiducia Supplicans (Supplicating Trust),. This caused a debate within  the Catholic Church. “Those who protest vehemently belong to small ideological groups,” Francis told Italian newspaper La Stampa. “A special case are Africans: for them homosexuality is something ‘bad’ from a cultural point of view, they don’t tolerate it “But in general, I trust that gradually everyone will be reassured by the spirit of the ‘Fiducia Supplicans’ declaration by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith: it aims to include, not divide,” the

 ‘No gree for anybody’ slogan breeding violence, revenge culture – Alex Ekubo Seasoned actor Alex Ekubo has disapproved of the continual usage of the viral ‘No gree for anybody’ slogan.  The interpretation of the slogan simply means that someone will stand firm by his or her convictions and not easily give in to others. Alex, in a post via his Instagram page on Monday, reasoned that the slogan is causing more harm than good and it is equally breeding violence and fostering revenge culture. Advising Nigerians, he said they should shun the slogan and be more tolerant, kind, and considerate towards each other. He also urged Nigerians to be intentional about their health and wealth. He wrote: “I took time out to introspect, meditate & self-care. As I crawl out of my solemn place, I can see the same negativity, & “gbas gbos” that has stunted our progress. As you may or may not have noticed, the only description of me on my socials is Human Being. “In a world where everyone is obsess
