 𝐋𝐏 𝐓𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐡 𝐎𝐤𝐨𝐧𝐤𝐰𝐨 𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 The Labour Party has officially disowned Kenneth Okonkwo, its former Presidential Campaign Council spokesman, stating he's no longer a member of the party. This comes after Okonkwo announced his resignation from the party, citing internal and leadership crises that would hinder the party's readiness for the 2027 general elections. However, Umar Farouk, the National Secretary of the Labour Party, claims Okonkwo's resignation didn't come as a surprise, given his background as a Nollywood actor. Farouk alleged that Okonkwo had actually resigned from the party last year and was only seeking relevance by making public statements. Farouk also questioned Okonkwo's motives, stating that he had been a member of several other parties, including APGA, PDP, and APC. "Let him carry his bag and return to Nollywood where he came from," Farouk said. "He doesn...

  Fela Durotoye, a renowned leadership coach and former presidential candidate, has shared a shocking experience where he rejected a N5 billion fraudulent government deal. The proposal came with immense pressure from an official claiming to be a pastor, who assured Durotoye that he had already been selected for a lucrative training contract. Durotoye's team had calculated a fair price of N1.3 billion for the training program, which aimed to train people in all 774 local government areas of Nigeria within eight weeks. However, just three days later, a call from the presidency changed everything. Durotoye was asked to submit an invoice for N5 billion, which raised serious ethical concerns. The official involved dismissed Durotoye's concerns, claiming that he wasn't ripping off Nigeria and that he deserved compensation for his service. Durotoye boldly refused the offer and even switched off his phone as pressure mounted. Interestingly, three months later, news broke that the E...

  Forget love this Valentine, celebrate your friends and family instead. ~Tonto Dikeh Nobody can love you as much as your family and friends, that thing you think is love is purely transactional and not unconditional. Receive sense. IN ANOTHER POST SHE WROTE: “Motherhood has been the most profound, transformative experience of my life—the kind of journey that reshapes you at your core. From the moment I held my son in my arms, I knew I wanted to be more than just a provider. I wanted to be present, to be intentional, to break the silent generational patterns where love was measured in material provision but lacked emotional depth. I refused to let my child grow up feeling unseen, unheard, or emotionally disconnected, as so many before us had. Every single day, I choose to show up—not just physically but with my heart, my mind, and my full presence. I listen, I affirm, I nurture, and I love in a way that ensures my son knows, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that he is safe, valued, and ...

 PRESS STATEMENT ABIA PDP STANDS BY THE SUSPENSION OF SENATOR ADOLPHUS WABARA The Abia State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has noted the statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary of our great Party, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, purportedly dismissing the suspension of the Chairman of the Board of Trustees (BoT), Senator Adolphus Wabara. We categorically state that the decision of the Abia State Executive Committee (SEC) to suspend Senator Wabara met every constitutional requirement of the Party and cannot be invalidated by a mere statement from the National Publicity Secretary, which is not a by-product of any official resolution of the National Working Committee (NWC). For the avoidance of doubt, the Abia State PDP, in taking this decision, relied on the provisions of the PDP Constitution (as amended in 2017) as follows:  1. Section 58(1)(b) & (h) – This section provides that a member of the Party may be sanctioned for engaging in anti-party activities...

 Fresh fighting flares in eastern DRC Fighting erupted on Tuesday in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, three days after a call by African leaders for a ceasefire and a brief lull in the conflict. M23 fighters attacked Congolese army positions in South Kivu province at dawn, local and security sources told AFP. The resurgence comes after east and southern African leaders called on their general staff to propose a plan for implementing an "unconditional" ceasefire by Thursday, in a conflict which has killed thousands and driven vast numbers from their homes. The M23 has in recent months swiftly seized tracts of territory in mineral-rich eastern DRC after again taking up arms in late 2021, in a country plagued by numerous conflicts for decades. The armed group began advancing in South Kivu after taking control of Goma, the capital of neighbouring North Kivu province that borders Rwanda, at the end of last month. Clashes took place on Tuesday near the village of Ihusi, around...

  Some South Africans are calling for the removal of their Home Affairs Minister, Leon Schreiber, after Miss Universe First Runner-Up 2024, Chidimma Adeshina was spotted in Cape Town.  A viral video making the rounds on X allegedly shows the Miss Universe Africa and Oceania, hanging out at a café in Waterfront, Cape Town, sparking fury among some South Africans, with many questioning how she ‘’managed’’ to re-enter the country.

An unusual scene unfolded today at Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka as a year one female student attacked and assaulted a senior lecturer for daring to interrupt her tiktok video shoot.  The lecturer Dr Okoye who has a proven track record of being very gentle, humble and friendly remained calm as the female student tore his cloths and bit him severally.

 Our Support For Tinubu Wasn’t To Get Anything In Return, We Did It For God, Country And Party, Says El-Rufai Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, on Monday, said his support for President Bola Tinubu’s election in 2023 was never to gain any favour in return.
