I’m Not Like Soludo, Peter Obi Did Well as Anambra Governor – Dr Chris Ngige

Former Anambra State governor and ex-Minister of Labour, Dr. Chris Ngige has stated that Peter Obi did well as Governor of the state.
According to him, he’s not like Charles Soludo  who has been attacking Obi.
Speaking in an interview, Ngige stated that during his tenure from 2003 to mid-2006, significant reforms in education, health, and public service were initiated and set and Obi continued after he left office.
“I had sealed everything, started the ball, and passed it to him; he just put it into the net. The evaluation done on education was during my years as governor—2004, 2005, and half of 2006.
 
“I’m not attacking Obi. He did well as governor in my state because he followed my footsteps and consolidated on what I was doing. Most of those things were not his original ideas,” Ngige added.
His words in part:
“I put the place on good in fact what he was doing number was a cruise control situation cruise control he was on cruise control in education in health in a public service reform in everything he was on cruise control he had got the ship i have selling i had sealed everything started the ball and passed it the ball to him and he just put it into the net. The evaluation done on education were my years. 2004 I was governor there. 2005 I was governor there. 2006 I was governor for half of the year. That was evaluation done. So but I’m not going to enter any controversy. They will now say I’m like Governor Soludo who is attacking everything Obi. I’m not attacking everything Obi. Obi did well as governor in my state because he followed my footsteps and consolidated everything I was doing. None of them. Most of those things are not his original idea….”

Trump Vows To Push Homeless People Out Of US Capital

US President, Donald Trump on Sunday, August 10 vowed to crack down on Washington, DC’s challenges, promising to remove homeless people from the capital and swiftly jail criminals.


“The homeless have to move out, immediately. We will give you places to stay, but far from the Capital,” he continued. “The criminals, you don’t have to move out. We’re going to put you in jail where you belong. It’s all going to happen very fast, just like the Border. This will be easier — be prepared! There will be no ‘Mr. Nice Guy.’”

Trump indicated more details will follow in a news conference Monday.

His comments came after the recent assault of former Department of Government Efficiency staffer Edward Coristine, also known as “Big Balls.” Coristine, 19, now working at the Social Security Administration, was attacked by about 10 juveniles near DuPont Circle while trying to stop an apparent carjacking. Two suspects have been arrested, and a $10,000 reward has been offered for information leading to the others.

Last week, Trump announced plans to deploy federal law enforcement across DC to address crime.

Like other major US cities, DC faces widespread homeless encampments. Governed by the 1973 Home Rule Act, the city has a unique relationship with the federal government, and some Republicans have suggested a federal takeover to address crime.

DC Mayor Muriel Bowser said the city will work with federal law enforcement, noting, “He’s interested in being in neighborhoods, fighting crime in neighborhoods. We are not experiencing a crime spike.”

Despite disagreements, Bowser has sought to maintain ties with Trump, meeting with him last year and privately expressing shared goals of making DC safer and cleaner.

According to the DC Metropolitan Police Department, violent crime is down 26% from last year, homicides are down 12%, and overall crime is down 7%. However, DC still ranks among the highest in homicide rates nationwide, placing fourth in 2023.

White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller described DC as “more violent than Baghdad” and parts of other dangerous regions, though comparative data remains unclear.

2027: “I see Jonathan back in Aso Rock as President” – Prophet Serimoedumu

The General Overseer of Mount Zion Divine Gospel Ministry Inc., Prophet Bomadi Serimoedumu, has predicted the possible return of former President Goodluck Jonathan to Aso Rock in 2027, saying Jonathan will win if he decides to run and will usher in a period of prosperity and joy for the nation.

During a church service at the Paradise City Zion headquarters in Bomadi, Delta State, Serimoedumu, who is revered by followers as the “Field Marshall of the Prophetic” and “Secret Revealer of the Niger Delta,” said he had a spiritual vision where Jonathan emerged victorious under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) banner.

In his prophecy, the prophet described seeing the PDP flag flying high with Jonathan leading it, symbolizing his success.

He also predicted that Jonathan’s leadership would bring about four years of economic growth and widespread happiness across Nigeria.

“I see President Goodluck Jonathan in Aso Rock leading this country again. If he chooses to run in 2027, he will return as President. There will be prosperity, and the people will rejoice,” Serimoedumu said.

The cleric also recounted a spiritual experience linked to the 2023 elections, where he claimed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima appeared to him in a vision.

In this vision, Tinubu promised to serve only one term and sought Serimoedumu’s prophetic endorsement.

“I saw Tinubu seated on a chair with Shettima on the floor beside him. Tinubu asked for my support, promising to run only one term. However, Shettima seemed unhappy about the one-term plan,” the prophet revealed.

He described these visions as “awe-inspiring secret things” and reaffirmed his role as the “Secret Revealer of the Niger Delta.”

This prophecy fuels ongoing speculation about the 2027 presidential race, particularly regarding whether Jonathan will attempt a return to power after his first tenure from 2010 to 2015.

OAU student goes missing for 5 days after leaving hostel to buy food

The management of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Osun State, has raised alarm after a female student, Dorcas Oseghale, mysteriously went missing and has not been seen for five days.

Dorcas, a chemistry student with matriculation number CHM/2021/165, was last seen on the evening of August 6, 2025, at around 8 p.m.

She reportedly left her hostel at Adesanmi House, Ibadan Road, Ile-Ife, to buy food near the students’ village along Ede Road but never returned.

According to the university’s Public Relations Officer, Abiodun Olarewaju, her roommate made several attempts to contact her but discovered that both of Dorcas’ phone lines were unreachable

In a statement released on Sunday, Olarewaju said:

“The student, Dorcas Oseghale, of the Department of Chemistry with Matric number: CHM/2021/165, was last seen on the evening of 6th of August, 2025 at about 8 pm.
“When Dorcas, who resides at Adesanmi House, Ibadan Road, Ile – Ife, said that she was going out to buy food in front of the students’ village, along Ede Road axis of the university, did not return on time, her roommate then made several attempts to reach her on phone but surprisingly discovered that her two lines were not reachable.”

Following the disappearance, the university’s Security Unit began monitoring student social media platforms for any information related to the missing student.

“But around 6:10 pm on the same day, a group of students from the Department of Chemistry, in search of the missing student, alongside a female student (Akinkuade Omobolanle Beatrice), from the Department of Agricultural Extension, identified as her roommate, reported a case of a missing student at the Security Unit of the University,” Olarewaju added.

Due to the complexity of the case and limited resources, the university deployed three security personnel to lead the search efforts and to report preliminary findings to the police.

Vice Chancellor Professor Simeon Bamire commended the students for their prompt action in reporting the case and appealed to law enforcement and security agencies to intensify efforts to locate Dorcas.

He urged anyone with useful information to report to the nearest police station or the university’s Security Unit to assist in the search.

Peter Obi can be trusted to serve one term — Middle Belt Forum

The Middle Belt Forum (MBF) has expressed confidence in the integrity of former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, affirming that he can be trusted to honour his promise to serve only a single term if elected president in 2027.

MBF National President, Dr. Bitrus Pogu, remarked while reacting to Obi’s recent pledge to serve just one four-year term if given the mandate.

According to Pogu, the Middle Belt has no reason to doubt the former Anambra State governor, given his track record of keeping to his promises.

He stressed that Obi’s assurance was not a political gimmick to win over the region, but a commitment rooted in honour and integrity.

“We believe Peter Obi is a man of honour and we believe that if he gets the win and he promises or promised something, he will keep to it.

“But like I have always said, we are where we are because we are not yet a nation. That is why several factors have continued to hold us back from attaining the dreams of our founding fathers,” he said.

The MBF president, however, pointed out that ideally, the number of terms a leader serves should be determined by the constitution and the electorate, rather than sectional interests. Nonetheless, he maintained that the Middle Belt stands by its trust in Obi’s word, describing him as a leader who keeps his commitments.

“But that issue is for the future. For now, as a people, we believe Peter Obi because we know he is a man of integrity and honour who keeps his words,” Pogu added.

A man working at a cafeteria in the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN), earning ₦15,000 monthly, has been sacked after demanding his unpaid June salary and receiving only ₦10,000.

 

This was revealed in a post on X (formerly Twitter) by the user @Wisdomiel, who shared details of the incident.

 

According to him, his June salary was not paid, and in urgent need of money for school expenses, he decided to call his boss to explain the situation.

Instead of paying the full amount, his boss sent him ₦10,000 and later terminated his employment.

“Last month, I was sacked from my job at an eatery in Unilorin, where I earned ₦15,000 monthly. In June, they didn’t pay my salary, so I called my boss to explain that I urgently needed the money for school stuff. He sent me ₦10,000, and shortly after, I was sacked,” he wrote.

NYSC Denies Withholding Corps Member, Raye’s Certificate Over Anti-Tinubu Comments

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has refuted social media claims that Corps Member Ushie Rita Uguamaye, popularly known as “Raye,” was denied her Certificate of National Service due to her criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

In a statement issued on Sunday, the NYSC described the reports as “false and baseless,” stressing that the delay in releasing Raye’s certificate was strictly procedural.

Raye, with service number LA/24B/8325, gained online attention earlier this year after posting a TikTok video in which she described Lagos as “smelling” and openly criticised the Tinubu-led government. The video triggered backlash and prompted her to publicly apologise.

The controversy drew reactions from notable figures, including former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and activist Omoyele Sowore, who alleged political victimisation.

However, the NYSC insists that her case is not politically driven and that her certificate will be issued once all standard processes are completed.

Police Secure Conviction Of 21 Foreign Nationals In Abuja Cybercrime Case

The Nigeria Police Force has secured the conviction of 21 foreign nationals linked to a high-profile cybercrime syndicate uncovered in Abuja in November 2024.

Force spokesperson, DCP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said the breakthrough followed a major raid carried out on November 3, 2024, at a building in Jahi, Abuja, acting on credible intelligence. The operation — part of a broader cybercrime crackdown — led to the arrest of 130 suspects, including 113 foreign nationals, mainly of Chinese and Malaysian origin, and 17 Nigerian collaborators.

The suspects were accused of engaging in large-scale internet fraud, hacking operations, and other cyber offences deemed a threat to Nigeria’s national security and economic stability.

After months of investigation, bolstered by digital forensic evidence and expert testimonies, the accused were arraigned in court on December 2, 2024. By August 1, 2025, 21 of them had been found guilty and sentenced, while trials for the remaining suspects are still ongoing.

Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, hailed the convictions as a strong warning to local and international cybercriminals that Nigeria will not be a safe haven for illicit activities.

He reaffirmed the Force’s commitment to intensifying the fight against cybercrime through advanced technology, international collaboration, and thorough investigative work, promising further updates as prosecutions progress.

Side Chick Crashes Wife’s New Car, Kills Passenger In Tricycle Accident

A tragic accident in Delta State has sparked outrage after a side chick, allegedly driving a newly purchased car belonging to her lover’s wife, rammed into a commercial tricycle, killing one passenger.

Human rights activist Comrade Israel Joe disclosed the incident in a Facebook post on Saturday, August 9, 2025. According to him, the vehicle — recently bought by the married man’s wife for her personal use — was taken by her husband to a hotel where he was lodging with his mistress.

While at the hotel, the side chick reportedly told the man she needed to go shopping. He then handed her the car keys. Moments later, she was involved in a collision with a tricycle, which resulted in the death of one of its passengers.

The woman was immediately detained by police, and the car was impounded. Meanwhile, Joe revealed that the unsuspecting wife had been calling her husband to return the car so she could pick up her children and resume her business for the day, unaware of the incident.

The post, which has since gone viral, was laced with criticism of the man’s actions, with Joe expressing support for the wife in the unfolding drama. Police are expected to carry out a full investigation into the fatal crash.

Leaked Audio Links KWAM 1 To Threats Against ValueJet Airline Boss, Kunle Soname (Audio)

Fuji music legend Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as KWAM 1 or K1 De Ultimate, has come under fresh scrutiny after a leaked audio emerged in which he allegedly threatened Kunle Soname, the owner of ValueJet Airlines, following their recent public clash.

The recording, now circulating widely online, captures the musician recounting his version of events during a heated altercation at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

KWAM 1 maintained in the audio that the contents of his flask were water, not alcohol, as the aircraft’s pilot reportedly claimed. He said his health condition required him to drink water frequently, accusing airline staff of disregarding this and subjecting him to what he described as “public embarrassment.”

In the clip, the singer appeared to issue a warning to Soname, vowing that the airline boss would “feel me in his business.” He also boasted of having supported Soname’s ventures in the past through political connections.

“My name is Wasiu Ayinde, nobody does that with me and gets away with it,” the Fuji star said, insisting he neither jumped the queue nor caused trouble before being told he could not board the flight. He alleged that the situation escalated unnecessarily, prompting him to open the flask and pour out its contents to prove it contained only water.

The dispute comes just days after reports of the airport confrontation surfaced, fuelling online debates over the treatment of high-profile passengers and the limits of airline authority.
