Israel also claimed that the singer had rejected several lucrative offers to endorse presidential candidates, maintaining that he remained committed to standing with Nigerians amid the country’s challenges.

“Dearest Nigerians, kindly disregard the useless rumours going around that Oga has been secretly or is currently working for APC. All are totally fabricated lies to gain social media traffic. His earlier stance still remains.

Oga has rejected several millions of dollars to endorse any of the presidential candidates. He keeps saying he would be with Nigerians who are going through a lot and that he would never betray them at all. What else do Nigerians want again?”Israel wrote.

His statement comes amid speculation about Davido’s political position, as he sought to reassure the singer’s supporters that the musician had not abandoned his earlier stance.

Verydarkman continues to drag Governor Adeleke’s sons, B-Red and Sina Rambo over luxury cars

Social media critic Verydarkman continues to question the reported purchase of luxury cars by the children of Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, raising concerns about the spending habits of relatives of public officeholders.

In a video shared online, VeryDarkMan described the governor’s children as some of the “hottest boys in town” and claimed they had spent close to ₦1 billion on luxury vehicles.

 

He argued that the reported purchases raised questions about the lifestyle of the governor’s children since their father assumed office.

“Some say Adeleke had money, and so what? Is it morally right for the children of a sitting governor to spend that money on cars?” he asked.

Verydarkman also challenged those defending the purchases on the grounds that the Adeleke family was wealthy to show evidence that the children had acquired vehicles of similar value before their father became governor.

“Show me a video where they spent close to this amount on cars before their own father became a governor,” he said.

The critic further argued that money of that magnitude could potentially attract investors to Osun State if directed towards productive ventures rather than luxury spending.

“That kind of money can bring investors to the state, but they spent it on show-off and lifestyle,” he added.

However, VeryDarkMan did not provide evidence that the vehicles were purchased with public funds. His criticism focused on the perceived extravagance of the reported spending and the questions it raised about the public image of political officeholders and their families.

JAMB Gives Candidates Another Chance to Correct NIN Details

JAMB has reopened its National Identification Number alignment service.

Candidates whose exam records do not match their NIMC data can now try to fix the gaps.

The board announced this on its online handle on Friday.

The reopening is a one time chance.

Approval is not automatic, and applications will be checked before any decision is made.

Candidates should first get any errors corrected by NIMC, then apply to align their details with their JAMB records.

Mismatches may involve names, dates of birth and other biodata.

JAMB advises applicants to check every field and make all corrections in one submission.

It also warns against rushing or sending incomplete information.

A video guide called JAMB Explained, posted on its online handle, sets out the eligible fields, the steps and the required documents.

Candidates should use only official JAMB channels and avoid third party agents.

The aim is to make the personal records used for university and polytechnic admissions more accurate.

Kwankwaso Backs Peter Obi as Shettima Questions His Statistics

NDC vice-presidential candidate Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has disagreed with Vice President Kashim Shettima’s criticism of Peter Obi.

Shettima had attacked Obi’s use of economic statistics and his comparisons with other countries, especially Bangladesh, at the APC campaign council inauguration on Wednesday.

Speaking on a TV programme on Thursday, Kwankwaso said most of the figures Obi uses are accurate.

He said he has listened to Obi’s arguments and checked the numbers himself.

He acknowledged that people sometimes make mistakes, but said Shettima’s description of Obi was unfair.

Kwankwaso said Obi’s knowledge of development indicators across Nigeria, Europe, Asia and other regions is a strength for a presidential candidate.

 

He also said their shared vision for the country is why they agreed to work together under the NDC, with the aim of building a stronger party and a stronger Nigeria.

Man Regains Sight After 20 Years of Blindness in Nasarawa

Monday Jatau, 28, from Angwan Sabo in Akwanga, can see again after 20 years of blindness.

He says the Jennifer Etuh Foundation made it happen through two eye surgeries.

His problems started when his right eye was hit by his blind father’s walking stick on the way to a market.

His father tried traditional treatments, but nothing worked, and he died the same year.

Jatau later lost sight in his left eye too.

He said his wife left him with their two children, and there were days the family had no food.

He heard about the free medical outreach from his church pastor and made his way to Dalhatu Araf Specialist Hospital in Akwanga, even though he had no money.

The five day programme has seen more than 3,000 residents get free care.

A team of 82 professionals from across the country took part.

The eye doctor, Dr Clement Tenufa, said most cases were cataract and pterygium.

Other patients were screened for high blood pressure, hepatitis B and C, malaria and blood sugar.

Many adults were found to have high blood pressure, and some children had malaria.

Programme manager Joe Otu said the foundation will keep bringing healthcare to people who need it most.

The hospital’s chief medical director, Dr Esala Abene, said the facility will stay open for future outreaches and urged people to get regular checkups, since many conditions show no signs until tested.
