 NO ABANDONMENT, NO NEW AWARDS: FG SETS THE RECORD STRAIGHT ON MOROCCO SCHOLARSHIPS The Federal Government has firmly debunked misleading narratives circulating in some quarters regarding Nigerian scholarship students in the Kingdom of Morocco, describing such claims as false, unfounded, and deliberately crafted to misinform the public. The Honourable Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, has clarified that no Nigerian student on a valid Federal Government scholarship has been abandoned. All beneficiaries duly enrolled under the Bilateral Education Scholarship (BES) Programme prior to 2024 have received payments up to the 2024 budget year, in line with the Federal Government’s obligations. Any temporary delays in outstanding payments are attributable to fiscal constraints and are currently being addressed through ongoing engagements between the Federal Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Finance.

 Fans clash over Tiwa Savage’s no-filter Snapchat video Social media was set ablaze on Sunday after Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage shared a no-filter video of herself on Snapchat, showing her bare face. The 45-year-old Afrobeats star, who has one son, appeared without makeup in the clip, and as usual, fans on X (formerly Twitter) had plenty to say. While some defended her natural look, others wasted no time criticizing her appearance. One user claimed, “The person who did the microblading did a bad job.” Another wrote, “This must be after a micro-needling session, that’s why her face is reddish. It’s painful, so that’s not her real skin color.” But not everyone joined the mockery. One angry fan fired back, saying, “Wetin be this nonsense? You dey show woman wey don pass 40 like say you just catch alien. She be human being, no be android.” Another X user added, “Wetin exactly you dey try prove, say person wey don live life small suppose still look like teenager? Abeg, grow up.” Still, ...

 Islamic Movement rejects ‘Christian genocide’ claims, says western propaganda aiming to divide Nigerians The Islamic Movement in Nigeria, under the leadership of Ibraheem Zakzaky, has rejected US President Donald Trump’s allegations that the Nigerian government is supporting “genocide against Christians”. In a statement on Saturday, Abdullahi Danladi of the movement’s resource forum, described the allegations as false, inflammatory, and dangerous. He said the organisation “has always stood firmly for peaceful coexistence, justice, and unity among all Nigerians, irrespective of religion, ethnicity, or political leaning”. He emphasised that Islam and Christianity share far more in common in their moral teachings than political actors often acknowledge. Danladi argued that Nigeria’s crisis is “moral and political, not religious”, pointing to corruption, greed, and elite manipulation as the true causes of insecurity. Quoting Zakzaky, he said, “The poor Christian and the poor Muslim ha...

 People who are doubting my prophecy should wait for Anambra election next week and see what will happen- Primate Elijah Popular Nigerian prophet and leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has responded to those who constantly question his prophecies, declaring that their criticisms are only boosting his influence. Speaking to his congregation, Ayodele said the loud reactions he receives whenever he releases prophecies have continued to make him a major topic in public conversations. According to him, those who try to discredit his spiritual messages often end up amplifying his voice. “My enemies make me important. It is the bad people that make me to be important. They are the ones making me flex,” he said. Ayodele noted that many of his critics twist his statements instead of listening with understanding. He explained that simple prophetic warnings are often taken out of context, sparking unnecessary controversy. He expressed surprise at how quickly ...

 WHY I THINK THE US IS MAD AT NIGERIA — I MAY BE WRONG!  I sincerely think that as a country we were careless at the last United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).  I really should pay more attention to ascertain if our longstanding foreign policy of “Non-alignment” has changed and why. The Israeli-Palestinian debacle predates Nigeria’s independence, and upon independence in 1960 the crafters of our foreign policy designed the “Non-alignment” policy, choosing to focus more on Africa in the context of our international relations.  As the most populous black nation on earth, Nigeria matter and where we stand on international issues bear huge consequence especially for ally countries.  Going to the UNGA 80 to openly canvass for an independent state of Palestine is a redflag. Yet, we have done so little in maintaining regional and continental political stability. From Niger to Burkinafaso, Mali to Sudan, Africa has constantly dipped into dictatorships with Nigeria “do...

FORMER NBA PLAYER ALLEGEDLY USED CHAMPIONSHIP RING AS COLLATERAL IN FEDERAL GAMBLING CASE. (PHOTO).

Image
 Former NBA player allegedly used championship ring as collateral in federal gambling case When former NBA player Damon Jones filed for bankruptcy in 2013, he listed his Yorkshire Terrier as an asset, valuing the dog at just $1. A decade later, Jones faced eviction from a luxury Houston apartment and, prosecutors allege, sent a text urging a co-conspirator to bet on the Milwaukee Bucks over the Los Angeles Lakers because a top Lakers player—believed to be LeBron James—was sidelined with an injury. Jones, once a relatively low-profile former player and coach, was thrust into the spotlight last week when federal prosecutors named him in two separate indictments related to gambling and fixed poker games allegedly linked to organized crime. Court documents spanning more than a decade detail his ongoing financial struggles: he reportedly put his 2016 NBA championship ring up as collateral for a personal loan and was hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.

 Andrew faces scrutiny as new Epstein emails emerge and Democrats demand testimony Democrats investigating Jeffrey Epstein have renewed calls for Britain’s former Prince Andrew to answer questions about his ties to the disgraced financier, following King Charles’s decision to strip Andrew of his royal title. The pressure comes after new emails surfaced suggesting Andrew proposed a “catch-up” with Epstein just months after the convicted pedophile was released from prison.
