This was the younger Abiola who tweeted it with the handle @AbdulMKOAbiola Saturday.

Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra expressed sorrow over the passing of Gen. Alexander Madiebo who died June 3 at the young age of 90.

Madiebo was an officer in the Nigerian Army's earliest days and was also the former Chief of Staff for the now-defunct Biafra Army.

During the 1967-1970 Nigerian civil war, he fought for the Biafran side.

Soludo responded to the death with a statement that was issued Saturday in Awka by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Christian Aburime.

He stated that he was deeply grieved when he heard the news about the veteran's passing.

He stated that his death occurred at the time his wise counsel was required in moving Anambra forward. He thanked God for Madiebo's life of honor and his advanced age.

"On behalf my family, government, and the good people in Anambra, my sincere condolences for the loss of General Alexander Madiebo, a great patriot and brave soldier, and officer gentleman.

"We would have loved for him to be here with us, but we are glad that he lived a life full of service and achievement.

Soludo stated that Soludo's contributions to the nation-building and development of his immediate surroundings remain strong points of reference in patriotism, nationalism, and nationalism.

He said that Madiebo risked his life to protect his people when it was most important.

"It's gratifying to note that while on the battlefield, he kept notes which enabled him to write one of his greatest books about Nigerian civil war "The Nigerian Revolution & the Biafran Civil War".

Soludo stated, "We will certainly miss his wise counsels and exemplary service to his fatherland,"

Soludo asked God to grant Madiebo eternal rest and give his family and close friends the strength to endure the final days of his death.

Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has stated that bicycle riding is a great way of movement and has immense health benefits and urged Nigerians to embrace the practice, which it said would also help to decongest the roads.

Abia State Sector Commander of FRSC, Mr. Paul Ugwu made the appeal in Umuahia at a rally to mark this year's World Bicycle Day. He also stated that cycling helps burn excess fats.

He listed some of the benefits of riding a bicycle, including: "reduction in carbon emission, reduction in fuel expenses and improvement on general health."

However, the Sector Commander noted some of the challenges that bicycle use in Nigeria presents, such as inadequate road infrastructure, stigma, and unsafe road habits.

He appealed for the wife of the Governor to join the Corps in promoting the use of bicycles as a way of moving the state.

Dr. Mrs. Nkechi Nkechi Ikpeazu, Abia's Governor's wife, expressed gratitude to FRSC for organizing the rally and promised to help the Corps raise awareness about the many health benefits of riding a bicycle.

She encouraged the public to adopt cycling as a mode of movement, especially considering the many health benefits.

The Chief Medical Director Professor Onyebuchi addressed the corps marshals as well as other participants to the rally when they stopped at the Federal Medical Centre Umuahia. He noted that cycling was a common way to exercise.

He stated that people who ride a bicycle regularly are less likely to develop cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, or obesity.

CMD also stated that riding a bicycle is a fun, low-impact exercise option for everyone.

The Sector Commander thanked MD for their cooperation over the years, particularly in the area of quick response to road accident victims.

The rally saw Ikpeazu's spouse and several Government officials ride on bicyle. During the visit, the Sector Commander visited a state radio station to educate the public about the many benefits of cycling.

Wumi Toriola, a Nollywood actress has lamented the massacre of churchgoers at Ondo State.

We reported Sunday, June 5, that many worshippers were killed and others were injured when terrorists attacked St Francis Catholic Church, Owo, which is the headquarters of Owo Local Government Area in Ondo State.

We were told by an eyewitness that "the herdsmen entered the church during service at Saint Xavier Catholic Church OWO."

They murdered all the victims and kidnapped their priests! These videos show the horror of the attack. The entire church was filled with bodies and blood .... they bombed the building after the massacre.

Wumi Toriola, in reaction to the terrible news, said that she was traumatized and nervous.

The actress said that she will be going off from Instagram for a while.

Wumi Toriola asked God to heal the land, as the killings have become too much.

"I feel anxious and traumatized. I will be removing my Instagram account for a while. God heal Nigeria. This is too much.

"Whoever sent me the video didn’t do well."

Cobhams Asuquo, a well-known Nigerian singer and music producer, has joined other Nigerians in mourning the tragic death of the Owo Catholic Church attacked by gunmen.

We earlier reported that more than 50 people had been confirmed killed after unknown gunmen entered the church during Mass and opened fire upon members of the congregation.

Multiple online videos showed the horrifying death of victims who were killed in the church.

Cobhams described the massacre as a significant loss for all Nigerians. Judging from past and present incidents, it is clear that our lives are of little importance to any government in Nigeria.

"This government has failed us. From Kaduna to Owo, the only thing we have received was condemnation. Any government should have more meaning for our lives than we do. I'm glad we have learned from our mistakes. I'm hopeful that we will do better next year. My heart goes out for the bereaved. We all grieve for the bereaved. We are all of us. "#owomassacre" He posted on Twitter.

Nollywood actress Biodun Okeowo, also known as Omoborty, has admitted that she's taking a few days off Instagram because of the constant sad news and bloodshed in the Nigerian online space.

The celebrity turn brand influencer also prayed to God for the country's salvation and for those who were killed in the Ondo State massacre, the strength to endure the terrible loss.

She said, "Sad is an overstatement!" The video is too difficult to post. It is a horrible sight. The church is stained with blood."

"Please, God, take control of Nigeria. Pray for Nigeria! Pray for Owo! Pray for Nigerians! For a few days, I will not be on Instagram. Love you guys. All those affected by the Owo massacre may find comfort in God. Protect the rest of us.

Dayo Amusa, a Nollywood Actress, has been muttering about the Ondo Catholic Church attack and getting into an argument with her followers on Instagram.

We report on Dayo Amusa's message about the sad incident asking Nigerians for action to ensure that all citizens get their PVCs in order to vote in 2023.

"My heart breaks, we are living a life that is betrayed by those who were supposed to protect us. No one cares about how we are trying to survive all these events and death rolls. We have been created by our leaders and forefathers. This Nation is now in decline! I believe in the possibility of a new dawn. GET YOUR PVC! It's your only weapon.


BEFORE YOU SHIP BLAME ON ANYONE, QUESTION YOUR PARENT: WHAT LOOKING AT, HOW DID IT GET HERE, AND WHAT DID THEY DO AT THEIR FIRST TO PREVENT ALL THIS HAPPENINGS? "I ASKED MINE!"


Some fans responded by blaming her and her colleague, Eniola Badmus, for supporting the wrong leaders.

One of them said, "U people are honest but your selfish attitude won't allow you all to do what is necessary that is best for you." Their lives are often miserable. You can campaign for anyone you wish, but if you campaign for the right person, it will work for your campaign. If not, your generation will suffer. Period!! !"

Dayo Amusa, in turn, dragged the fan along with others and said "The same applies to me!" You know who the rightful voters are. Please point them out. If you don't, your entire family may suffer beyond death!

Instead, you should be ashamed of yourself. Are we the problem of the nation? Abi eyin Eyan se foolish bayii. Invite a qualified candidate to your household. We will support him/her. However, if you are unable to produce 1, please save your anger and stop transferring it on others. Let's just be guided.

Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has warned the All Progressives Congress, APC, that excluding his name on the ballot in today's convention to elect the party's presidential flag bearer for the 2023 election will be a recipe for crisis in the party.

After it was decided that the South should be the president, the governor stormed out from a meeting with fellow APC governors. Five names were also submitted by APC governors to President Buhari for him to choose his consensus candidate. Governor Yahaya Bello was absent.

After meeting with President Buhari, Governor Bello stated that there was a conspiracy against him. He also accused the APC northern governors of conspiring with some elite. He claims that he was not consulted by the APC governors before they decided to support a Southern president.

Bello described himself as a leading aspirant who would win overwhelmingly if there was transparency and credibility in the process. He said that President Buhari must tell him to resign.

He claimed that he represented the youth and the downtrodden, so there was no reason to exclude him from the primary.

Fulani herdsmen are suspected to have murdered two farmers in Ikyungwa Tombo Ward near Ayilamo Community in Logo Local Government Area of Benue State.

The incident occurred at 5 p.m. on Monday, June 6, as the victims were returning to their farms.

The deceased were identified as Bem Uhembe Mathew (34), and Doose Maungwa (15), both from Tse-Ibor village, Tombo ward.

The victims were reportedly returning to Ayilamo after having worked on their farms. Their settlement, Tombo had been allegedly overthrown by suspected herders.

Agber Terse (chairman of the Local Government Area), confirmed that the incident occurred to Daily Trust. He said that the victims were accosted after they left their farms Monday evening.

Agber claimed that militant herders were responsible for the deaths of the two men. This was due to the constant invasion of Tombo Ward, a farming settlement, by gunmen believed to be herders.

The victims were also laid to rest on Tuesday June 7.

The All Progressives Congress presidential aspirants who hail from the South-East have written to President Buhari requesting him to choose one of them to be his successor and consensus candidate for the party's 2023 presidential election.

The aspirants requested President Buhari to pick the South-East candidate in a letter signed by Ikeobasi Mkelu, former ministers for Science, Technology and Innovation, Dr Ogbonnaya ONU; state for Education, Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, and Mrs. Ken Uju-Ohanenye.

Although Senator Rochas Okorocha was included among the signatories, he didn't add his signature.

Nollywood stars consoled Mustapha Sholagbade, his colleague who had just lost his beloved one after the London naming ceremony.

To reminisce about the times spent with his friend, Toheebat Oreoluwa Temisope, the actor wrote a touching note.

Mustapha Sholagbade remembered his last conversation with the dead. They spoke a week ago and discussed how the former would attend his son's London naming ceremony.

He spoke of his friendship with his late friend. He said that he had forgotten to get her cloth from Nigeria and she still promised to attend the ceremony wearing a western dress.

Mustapha Sholagbade posted on Instagram: This is too sad for me to write. One thing I do is tell myself when I see someone who is close to me die. I thought to myself, we all go one day, but ki Olohunjeki Ojo kojina Sira won Amen.

We spoke last Thursday about your coming to my naming. I told you how I had forgotten to pick your own cloth from Nigeria and that I would wear an English dress if you were coming.

This is still unbelievable to me. Yesterday, I received bad news on Monday morning. Toheebat Oreoluwa Temitope, may Allah be pleased with you

I believe that you have been laid to rest. May God forgive your mistakes and grant you peace in Aljana fidous. Your daughter Anjola Oluwa is my responsibility. May God bless her and grant her the peace she deserves.

The Ikeja Special Offences Court has sparked Nigerians’ reactions as it adjourned the alleged rape case against veteran Yoruba Nollywood actor Olanrewaju James otherwise addressed as Baba Ijesha.

We recall there was mass outrage when comedian cum actress, Princess, accused Baba Ijesha in 2021 of defiling her 14-year-old ward.

In a video that was made available online, the actress accused Baba Ijesha of molesting her daughter without consent.

Nollywood stars such as Iyabo Ojo and Yomi Fabiyi have been at loggerheads over the issue as the former supported Princess’ side of the story. At the same time, the latter took a stand for his colleague. The allegations led to a messy fight between them.

Moving on, reports revealed that Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo adjourned the case for judgment until the 14th of July.

Baba Ijesha is facing a six-count charge of indecent treatment of a child, s€xual assault, attempted s€xual assault by p€netration and s€xual assault by p€netration, although he pleaded not guilty.

Mixed reactions have been trailing the latest development on Baba Ijesha’s alleged rape case as many called for the release of the actor. But, at the same time, some wondered why the case was pending despite the evidence provided.

This news comes just days after she was in trouble with Nigerians.

Nigerian crossdresser Idris Okuneye, better known online as Bobrisky, was mocked online after he proudly displayed fake proofs of ownership for his 450 million mansion.

Many mocked the socialite who declared in 2021 that his new house was worth millions of Nigerian naira after he failed to host his housewarming party on the designated day.

Bobrisky proved his doubters wrong by showing off his deeds to the house and the app documents required to prove that he purchased the luxurious home.

Bobrisky showed his appreciation to his lawyer for helping him build his dream home.

Bobrisky slammed the statement, stating that only Landlords or Landladies would understand it.

"Thanks to my lawyer, he made it possible to buy our home. This document is only understood by Landlords or landladies. The document is not understood by tenants. 19th. I am posting a full picture of the house. Congratulations to you. "Four hundred million is quite a lot."

Bobrisky, who didn't take the time to read the documents carefully, was so quick to publish the fact that he had forgotten to cover the words "lease", which blew him up.

As always, Nigerians took to social media to mock him for his poor educational background.
