 Nicole Kidman recalls the heartbreaking moment she found out her mom died Nicole Kidman has opened up about the heartbreaking moment she learned of her mother Janelle’s death just as she was about to accept a best actress award at the Venice International Film Festival.  The Babygirl star recalled being backstage when she received the news, saying she returned to her room “completely devastated” and unsure how she would move forward without her mother, who had been such a central part of her life. She described the “harrowing” attempt to leave Venice in the middle of the night to return to Australia, only to turn back, overwhelmed and alone.  Director Halina Reijn later read a statement on Kidman’s behalf, dedicating the award to Janelle and acknowledging the collision of art and life in that painful moment.

 Senate Debate Erupts Over Non-Indigene RSIEC Chairman Appointment


A heated debate disrupted proceedings in the Nigerian Senate today during the consideration of an ad-hoc committee report on the emergency rule in Rivers State, particularly regarding the screening and approval of Michael Odey, a non-indigene, as Chairman of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC).


The session turned contentious as lawmakers clashed over the nomination of Odey, a Cross River State native, prompting strong objections from opposition figures. Senate Minority Leader Abba Moro expressed dismay, noting that the prior appointment of a non-Rivers sole administrator had already sparked concerns, and Odey’s selection further eroded ethical standards. He was backed by Senator Abdul Ningi (Bauchi Central), who questioned the logic of appointing an outsider to oversee Rivers State elections.


Senator Ali Ndume (Borno South) echoed these sentiments, invoking the federal character principle and urging sensitivity to local interests. “It may not be unconstitutional, but we must carry the people along. There are qualified individuals within Rivers State, and appointing from outside sends the wrong signal,” he said.


Defending the nomination, Chief Whip Senator Tahir Monguno argued that no constitutional breach had occurred. Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele, who chairs the Ad-Hoc Committee, called for calm, emphasizing constitutional merit over political sentiment. “Eligibility and qualification are the key criteria. The nominee meets both, despite not being from Rivers State. Of the seven nominees, six are from Rivers, ensuring neutrality and transparency in this sensitive political climate,” Bamidele stated, adding that the committee conducted thorough consultations.


Despite the friction, a voice vote resulted in an overwhelming majority adopting the report, confirming Odey’s appointment along with other RSIEC members.
