US Congressman Observes Shifting Nigerian Government Attitudes Towards Protecting Christians Amid Terror Threats

United States Congressman Bill Huizenga has observed signs of changing attitudes within the Nigerian government toward the protection of Christians, following his visit with a US congressional delegation to Nigeria. During the trip, lawmakers engaged with Nigerian officials to review security challenges and counterterrorism efforts targeting extremist groups affecting both Christians and moderate Muslims. Huizenga noted that some government officials are increasingly committed to safeguarding vulnerable communities. The visit coincided with US-led airstrikes against ISIS-affiliated militants in northwest Nigeria, following years of attacks primarily targeting Christians, announced by President Donald Trump on Christmas Day. The delegation’s discussions highlighted ongoing diplomatic and legislative cooperation between the US and Nigeria on security matters.

Ifeanyi Ejiofor Slams Boris Johnson’s Comments on Nigeria as ‘Imperial Mindset’

Human rights lawyer Ifeanyi Ejiofor has strongly criticised former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson over remarks he made at an economic summit in Owerri, Imo State. Johnson had joked about trade relations, security concerns, and political mobility between Nigeria and the UK, comments Ejiofor described as disrespectful and rooted in “imperial mindset.” He argued that Johnson’s statements echoed colonial-era attitudes and ignored the historical imbalance in relations between both countries. Ejiofor also faulted African elites for applauding the remarks, calling it a troubling display of complicity. He urged Nigeria to demand more nuance from visiting leaders, reframe narratives around trade, and prioritise partnerships based on technology transfer, capacity building, and equitable terms.

Maintaining a positive attitude means choosing an optimistic and constructive response, acknowledging challenges while appreciating life's offerings.

Tiktoker Peller alleges his female colleague Jarvis makes money through money Laundering.

Nigerian content creator Peller has spoken out about his past relationship with popular TikToker Jarvis, revealing shocking details about her alleged dealings and their personal struggles.

According to Peller, when Jarvis first came to Lagos, he assumed she was a wealthy influencer living a luxurious lifestyle. “When Jarvis came to Lagos, I thought she had money,” he said. “Not until she told me her story that those people gifting her then used to split it 50/50.”

Peller added that he was surprised to learn that Jarvis was allegedly involved in a money laundering scheme. “When she came, I thought she was a multi-millionaire. I didn’t know that she was into money laundering, where they send her money and later split it 50/50,” he revealed.

Despite the revelations, Peller said he continued to support her financially and emotionally. “I am always sending her money to add up before her target. I always make sure she is okay, even though my friends and manager call me mumu. They say she doesn’t care about me, but I keep caring for her like a fool,” he said.

Reflecting on their relationship, he noted that while Jarvis shows affection, she tends to prioritize business over love. “I can’t say Jarvis no love me, she does — but at home love. When it comes to business, Jarvis always forget I dey inside this picture,” he said.

Peller concluded by recalling Jarvis’ response whenever he complained about her attitude. “She will say there is time for everything — time for love and time for business. She never jokes with me, even during business,” he added.

Peller and Jarvis, both known for their viral TikTok videos and strong social media presence, have continued to stir conversations online regarding their relationship and financial dealings.

We Must Win By Whatever Means Necessary” – Former INEC Boss Exposes Politicians Dangerous Mindset.

Former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Attahiru Jega, has condemned the desperation of Nigerian politicians to undermine the integrity of the nation’s electoral process.

Speaking in Abuja while delivering a keynote address at the joint graduation ceremony of the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies and the University of Benin, Jega warned that such a “do-or-die” attitude poses a threat to democratic development.

Jega lamented that the politicians’ attitude towards elections has eroded public trust in the Democratic process.

He pointed out that despite 25 years of uninterrupted democracy since 1999, Nigeria still struggles with electoral malpractice, violence, and widespread distrust in the electoral system.

He said, “When we see the desperation of these politicians, it is very clear, as former President Obasanjo said, that they engage with elections with a ‘do-or-die’ mentality. We must win by whatever means are necessary.

“No elections are perfect and none are likely to ever be,” he admitted, stressing that electoral integrity “is relative and measured as a continuum from the extreme worst-case scenario to the ideal best-case scenario.”

Jega noted that Nigeria’s political landscape has for decades been tainted by the pursuit of power at all costs, adding that fixing the country’s electoral process would require “continuous concerted efforts”.

“The credibility of elections has a direct correlation with the quality of representation and governance,” he added.

Big Brother Naija Season 10 winner, Imisi has stirred buzz online after opening up about her complicated relationship with former housemate, Kaybobo, during a post-show interview with host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu.

Speaking candidly about their time in the house, the reality star admitted that she suspects Kaybobo may have had feelings for her despite his constant teasing and unpredictable behavior.

“He hated Faith because I liked Faith. Kaybobo is always like that once he knows I like someone, he starts poking fun at them,” she said with a laugh. “At times when he’s not with his mic or camera, there’s a way he looks at me or acts differently. I don’t know… but I think he likes me. I really think he does.”

The BBNaija winner, however, clarified that their dynamic was often confusing, revealing that Kaybobo’s playful attitude made it hard to tell when he was being serious.

The Era of Calling Nigeria “Most Corrupt Country” Is Over — First Lady Remi Tinubu.

Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, says the era of branding Nigeria as the “most corrupt country” in the world has ended.

Speaking during her official visit to Gombe State, where she commissioned several health facilities including the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) in Kumo, Mrs Tinubu urged citizens to stop demeaning the nation’s image, noting that global perception of Nigeria is improving under the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“Gone are the days when they say Nigeria is the most corr¥pt country. You won’t hear that again,” she said. “When I travel abroad and they hear you’re from Nigeria, everyone is interested. Nigeria is now the next destination.”

The First Lady, who also paid homage to the Emir of Akko, encouraged Nigerians to show national pride and speak positively about their country.

She described Gombe’s landscape as “beautiful and comparable to the English countryside,” adding that Nigerians should celebrate the nation’s natural and cultural assets.

Mrs Tinubu linked her message of patriotism to the administration’s ongoing reforms in security, education, and grassroots development, emphasizing the role of traditional and religious leaders in shaping citizens’ attitudes.

“I’m 65 years old now, and I pray to live long,” she said. “I’m working so hard so that when my husband finishes his tenure, I too can walk around safely. That is what drives me.

She called on Nigerians to remain hopeful, united, and supportive of government efforts aimed at restoring the nation’s pride and strengthening its place in the global community.

Obasanjo Denies Seeking Third Term, Warns Leaders Against Clinging to Power.

Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo has dismissed long-standing claims that he attempted to extend his presidency beyond two terms, insisting he never pursued such a move.

Speaking Wednesday at the democracy dialogue hosted by the Goodluck Jonathan Foundation in Accra, Obasanjo said no evidence exists to support the speculation.

“I’m not a fool. If I wanted a third term, I know how to go about it. And there is no Nigerian d+ad or alive that would say I called him and told him I wanted a third term,” he stated.

The former leader argued that securing debt relief for Nigeria during his administration was far tougher than seeking tenure extension. “I keep telling them that, look, if I wanted to get debt relief, which is more difficult than getting a third term and I got it, if I wanted a third term, I would have got it too,” he said.

Obasanjo also cautioned against leaders overstaying in office, describing it as a false sense of indispensability. “I know that the best is done when you are young, ideal and vibrant and dynamic. When you are ‘kuje kuje’ you don’t have the best. But some people believe that unless they are there, nobody else,” he remarked.

He further warned that such attitudes amount to defying God. “They will even tell you that they haven’t got anybody else. I believe that that is a sin against God, because if God takes you away, which God can do anytime, then somebody else will come, and that somebody else may do better or may do worse.”

According to report by Punch newspaper on Tuesday September 2, 2025, popular TikTok content creator, Hamzat Habeeb, better known as Peller, has tendered a heartfelt apology to his fans after facing criticism over his recent online behaviour.


In a message shared on his Instagram story on Monday, Peller admitted that some of his antics on social media were often misunderstood. He acknowledged that the image he portrays online is different from who he is in real life and asked his followers to forgive him.

“If I have offended you in the past, please forgive me. I promise to be on my best behaviour this time,” he wrote. He further appealed to those who have been hurt by his actions, adding, “I don’t mean most things I do online. I am a good person in reality. Please handle me with care.”

The apology comes after several controversies, including false rumours that linked him to a kidnapping incident and frequent criticisms about his attitude during TikTok live sessions. While Peller did not directly address those issues, his message appeared to be an effort to repair his image and regain the trust of his audience, especially following conversations around his behaviour toward his TikTok partner, Jarvis.

How I Dropped Out of High School to Build My Business Empire – Billionaire Femi Otedola Opens Up.

Billionaire businessman, Femi Otedola, has revealed that he achieved success without completing high school or attending university. The chairman of one of Nigeria’s biggest financial groups said his poor academic performance pushed him out of the classroom and into the world of business, where he eventually built a multi-billion-dollar empire.

In his memoir Making It Big, the 62-year-old energy mogul recalls beginning his education at the University of Lagos Staff School in 1968, where he sat in the same class as Kola Abiola, son of Chief Moshood Abiola.

However, he admits academics never appealed to him, as he consistently ranked among the lowest in his class. After primary school, he attended Methodist Boys’ High School, Lagos, and later Olivet Baptist High School, Oyo, but his struggles continued.

By 1977, his parents moved him to boarding school in hopes of improving his attitude to learning, but Otedola says his interests were firmly rooted in business, not academics.

Eventually, he left school altogether to work in his father’s printing business, Impact Press. Rising through the ranks, he became managing director at just 25. Restless, he later asked to work as a sales consultant on commission, a decision he described as his “big break.”

He invested in cars for marketing and soon began attracting jobs from major companies and advertising agencies. The disclosure may surprise many, as Otedola had long been thought to hold a university degree ,with his Wikipedia page at one point even claiming he studied at the University of Lagos.

Comedian DeeOne Alleges Kizz Daniel Once Refused to Show Up for Paid Event.

Nigerian comedian, DeeOne, has recounted a troubling experience he had while working with Afropop star, Kizz Daniel.

Speaking in a recent conversation, the comedian expressed frustration over what he described as the carefree attitude of some Nigerian artists, warning that if the trend continues, foreign acts from Tanzania, Ghana, and other African countries may begin to dominate the Nigerian entertainment space.

According to DeeOne, he once booked Kizz Daniel to perform at an event for a popular brand, but the singer refused to show up despite being fully paid.

He claimed that it took sending people to physically bring the singer down to the venue before he eventually appeared. “We pamper them too much. Very soon you’ll see African artists from Tanzania, Ghana, everywhere taking the spot of Nigerian artists.

I have booked Kizz Daniel for an event before, for a very popular brand, and he refused to show up. We had to send people to drag him down to the venue. This is very wrong because artists abroad don’t behave like this; they are time conscious.

Imagine if it was abroad—it would even look awkward to involve the police in that type of situation,” DeeOne said. The comedian noted that while Nigerian stars often get away with such behavior at home, international promoters and audiences would not tolerate similar actions.

Transfer Twist: Man City Eye Shock Move to Hijack Chelsea’s Xavi Simons Deal

The race for Dutch sensation Xavi Simons has taken a dramatic turn as Manchester City reportedly plot to derail Chelsea’s pursuit of the 22-year-old midfielder. With negotiations between Chelsea and RB Leipzig stalling, Pep Guardiola’s side is keeping a close watch, ready to swoop in for the versatile playmaker who can shine in midfield or on the wings.

City’s interest comes amid squad shake-ups — Jack Grealish on loan to Everton, James McAtee set for Nottingham Forest, and speculation over Savinho’s future. Meanwhile, Chelsea’s swap-deal hopes involving Christopher Nkunku have hit complications, giving City a potential opening.

Football analyst Kevin Hatchard suggests Chelsea still lead the race, but questions over Simons’ attitude in Germany have fueled debate. Will City hijack the deal, or will Chelsea seal the signing? The summer transfer window just got hotter.

PRESS STATEMENT: DECISION TO WITHDRAW CRIMINAL COMPLAINT AGAINST MS. COMFORT EMMANSON AND TO ADDRESS RELATED MATTERS

1. In the last 48 hours, I have been in consultation with critical stakeholders in the Aviation Sector and those involved in the unfortunate incidents regarding the unruly behaviours of certain individuals at our airports of recent.

2. Though regrettable, we think valuable lessons have been learnt by all sides to these incidents and airport security protocol, especially, have been well highlighted for the travelling public. If nothing at all, the episodes have undoubtedly helped to raise public awareness about appropriate conduct within the aviation space.

3. As highlighted in my previous statements on the last two incidents, clear wrongs were committed by both the offending passengers and staff of the airlines involved from all the evidence available to us and those available to the public. It is clear that all the actors involved cannot continue to highlight the injury or injustice done to them without acknowledging their own equal culpability.
5. Therefore, after reviewing the entire incidents, including appeals made by well-meaning individuals and remorse shown by the actors, the following decisions have been reached:

THE CASE OF IBOM AIRLINE AND MS. COMFORT EMMANSON

(a) In the case of the unruly passenger, Ms. Comfort Emmanson, on the Ibom Airline on Sunday, the 10th of August, 2025, I have conferred with Ibom Airline to withdraw the Complaint against her today. When the Police took her Statement in presence of her lawyer, she exhibited great remorse for her conduct.

(b) Subsequent to the withdrawal of the complaint by the Complainant, the CP of Airport Command and the Police Prosecutor will immediately take the remaining steps to facilitate her release from Kirikiri Prisons within this week.

(c) I have also conferred with the leadership of the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) and have appealed to them to lift the life-time flying ban imposed on her, to which they agreed. The details of the resolution will be made public by the AON subsequently. THE CASE OF VALUEJET AND WASIU AYINDE MARSHALL (KWAM 1)

(d) In the case of KWAM 1, the NCAA is to reduce his flight ban to a one-month period. FAAN will also work with the music star with a view to engaging him as an ambassador for proper airport security protocol going forward.
(e) Having publicly demonstrated penitence, the NCAA is also to withdraw its criminal complaints against KWAM 1 earlier lodged with the Police.

(f) In the case of Captain Oluranti Ogoyi, and the co-pilot, First Officer Ivan Oloba of VALUEJET, the NCAA is to restore their licenses after the same period of one-month ban after undergoing some mandatory professional re-appraisal. The details will be announced by the NCAA.

AIRLINE OPERATORS, AVIATION AND OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES

6. I have directed all relevant Aviation agencies in collaboration with other complementary agencies outside aviation to IMMEDIATELY begin a retreat NEXT WEEK to properly retrain and prepare our Aviation security personnel on how to deal with errant and disruptive passengers and how to deescalate potentially explosive situations. The retreat will be fully covered by the Press with the opportunity to ask all the relevant questions.

7. The Airlines will also have their own session when the conduct and attitude of their staff towards members of the travelling public will be in full focus.

FINAL COMMENTS
8. These above decisions were taken by Government and the airline operators purely on COMPASSIONATE grounds as Government will never pander to base sentiments, politically-motivated views or warped legal opinions when clear encroachment of our laws are involved.

9. We are also sending a CLEAR MESSAGE that we take safety and security in the aviation sector very seriously and we have decided to draw a line after these clemencies.

Boyfriend steals married woman’s baby during hotel romance in Delta.

A married woman simply identified as Mummy Precious has lamented over the disappearance of her daughter after she took her to visit her lover.

The woman, a resident of Asaba in Delta State, explained that her boyfriend allegedly stole Precious, a two-year-old girl, in a hotel he lodged them into.

She recalled how the fleeing man met her when she was operating the Point of Sale (PoS) terminal and proposed love to her. According to Precious’ mother, the man, name yet unknown, showed her so much love that she entrusted her daughter into his care.

After days of talking over the phone and sending her money, the fleeing boyfriend reportedly invited Mummy Precious, a single parent, to a hotel in Asaba where he made away with the girl.

She recalled how she visited the hotel on July 15, slept over with the man till the next day, before the disappearance of her daughter.

“He came to me where I was doing my PoS and said he likes me. He kept coming to me and caring for me. I am married but no longer with the father of my baby. After meeting this man at my PoS point, we became friends, and then he invited me to a hotel.

“He had initially asked me to visit him in Anambra State where he stays but I said I couldn’t. We started talking over the phone. Any time I ask him for money for my hair, he will send it to me. He called me on a Whatsapp video and asked me to show him my daughter. He always asks after her and he promised me that every pain that my husband caused me, he will clear it.

“It was because of his caring attitude that I gave him attention. So, he said he has booked a hotel at Golak Hotel along Igbuso road. I visited there with my two years old daughter. We lodged in the room and the next day, he said he wanted to go and get food for us to eat. He brought the food and later went out with my daughter to get her another food.

“Nigeria Under a Spell of Suffering” – Pastor Enenche Decries Worsening Hardship, Calls Out Disconnected Leaders


Popular Nigerian pastor, Dr. Paul Enenche, has raised the alarm over what he described as a “blanket of darkness and sorcery” hanging over the nation, leaving citizens spiritually trapped and economically suffocated.

Speaking passionately during a recent sermon, Enenche lamented the growing number of congregants who now queue after church—not for prayers—but to seek help for rent, school fees, hospital bills, and food. He said pastors are overwhelmed by the sheer volume of desperate needs.

He blamed Nigerian leaders for turning a blind eye to the pain of the masses, describing their attitude as “careless and disconnected” from the harsh realities facing ordinary Nigerians.

> “There’s a demonic tolerance of suffering in this country. What should provoke national outrage has been accepted as normal. It is not normal—it’s witchcraft,” he declared.

Not a “first world vs third world” issue: Beverly emphasized that Omotola’s message isn’t a nations comparison, but a call for “basic dignity” for artists in Nigeria’s film industry .
“Art is art. Work is work. Labor is labor. Residuals are a right, not a luxury.” — Beverly Osu 
She called out dismissive attitudes that use “don’t compare 1st world to 3rd world” as excuses that keep Nollywood actors underpaid.
