  "I Am Not Underage, I Am a Graduate": Lady Defends Her Marriageable Age Viral wedding pictures of a young-looking lady have sparked widespread reactions on social media. The pictures, which began trending earlier today, quickly attracted a lot of criticism. Many accused people from certain parts of Nigeria of indulging in early child marriage, strongly condemning the act. However, the lady in question has come forward to defend her marriage. In a short video she posted, she debunked the rumors that she is underage. She said, "According to the Nigerian constitution, 18 is an adult, and I am not 18 years, I am not 20 years, and not 25 years. I am a graduate. My small stature shouldn't be a barrier to achieving my goal. So, I am not underage, and I wasn't used as collateral or as a loan because some people commented like that."

  Former military president, General Ibrahim Babangida’s attempt to rewrite history regarding the annulment of the June 12, 1993, presidential election has sparked widespread reactions, with Dr. Joe Odumakin, President of the Centre for Change, strongly condemning the move. Speaking in response to Babangida’s remarks at the launch of his autobiography, Odumakin accused the former leader of engaging in “Maradona-style double-speak” by admitting responsibility for annulling the election while simultaneously blaming the late General Sani Abacha, his then Chief of Army Staff, for the decision. “It is ridiculous that Babangida, as Commander-in-Chief, would accuse a deceased man of such a grave offence, knowing fully well that Abacha can no longer defend himself,” Odumakin said. She questioned Babangida’s claims, pointing out that he had the authority to remove Abacha if the latter had indeed acted against the people’s mandate given to Chief Moshood Abiola. Odumakin also recalled the rep...

  All of which further stresses the point that the most powerful people in this world are those who control your media and information. "Igbo coup" was clearly not a material reality - it was a story invented out of thin air and amplified by the usual suspects who had an interest in starting a war to destabilise one of Africa's rising stars, ultimately resulting in 3 million deaths, an entire region's infrastructure destroyed, 3 entirely wasted years, and deep scars and ethnic divisions afterward. Which is why you should very honestly ask yourself why the same white British agents of disinformation who sold "Igbo coup" to the Nigerian public via BBC, and thus started West Africa's deadliest-ever war, are back in Nigeria in 2025 paying journalists £1,000 per quarter to "fight disinformation," and "expose foreign influence and manipulation." This is where you put your thinking caps on and add 2 and 2 together. https://x.com/DavidHundeyi...

  I know some ethnic bigots will be upset that Babangida debunked the Igbo coup narrative Let’s refresh their memories Ademoyega wrote a book called “why we struck”and he also said it was not an ethnic coup! Ademoyega was not an igbo man. The truth is bitter Why we struck was released in 1981. Facts are sacred. Sentiment is free Babangida was right. It was not an Igbo coup.

According to the post, whenever she throws a tantrum in the chamber, she swiftly rushes to the media, presenting herself as the victim. The controversy centres on clear Senate rules. Under Order 6, every senator is meant to remain in their designated seat during debates—a rule intended to ensure proceedings are smooth and orderly. However, following recent party defections that caused a reshuffle of seating arrangements, a reallocation of seats was necessary—a move most senators accepted without protest. The female senator refused and attempted to justify her actions by referencing a different order, exacerbating the situation. Critics argue that allowing emotions to dictate decisions will not aid progress. “Why enter the Senate and start sho...

The president got some reassurance of massive support from the region at a mammoth rally at the Haliru Abdu Multi-Purpose Stadium in Birni Kebbi, the state capital, where the party also adopted Governor Nasir Idris to fly its flag for a second term in 2027. A number of prominent northern figures have in recent times voiced opposition to the president’s yet-to-be-announced re-election bid about two years from now, with former Kaduna Governor, Nasir el-Rufai publicly saying the region will give Tinubu the Goodluck Jonathan treatment, Jonathan, an incumbent southerner, lost the presidential poll to Muhammadu Buhari in 2015.
