“Thousands and thousands of Christians are being massacred in Nigeria by terrorists,” — Trump says again.

But an honest question: what about the Muslims who are also being killed daily?
Insecurity in Nigeria does not choose religion. Christians, Muslims, and even traditional worshippers have all been victims of terrorism, banditry, and violence.

So why single out Christians only, when the problem affects everyone?
This is a national tragedy, not a religious competition.

JUST IN: VeryDarkMan Claims Legal Ownership of RATEL App Trademark in Nigeria

Social media personality VeryDarkMan (VDM) has announced that he now officially and legally owns the trademark to RATEL in Nigeria, a move that directly affects the RATEL App reportedly operated by B-Lord.

According to VDM, the trademark ownership gives him full legal rights over the use of the name “RATEL” across the country. He stated that this authority allows him to demand royalties for its use and, if he chooses, take action that could lead to the app being taken down.

VDM further claimed that all legal documents supporting his ownership are currently in his possession. He also alleged that proceeds generated from the app now belong to him under trademark law.

In a public statement, VDM revealed that he earned ₦300 million in a single day, attributing the income to his recent business dealings connected to the RATEL name.

As of now, there has been no official response from B-Lord regarding these claims.

JUST IN: Daddy Freeze Responds to Anu’s Mother

Daddy Freeze has reacted to Anu’s mother, urging her to handle the situation privately and focus on raising her child. He said Anu is like a daughter to him because her father was once his lecturer, and advised her to do everything possible to ensure the child becomes successful. He asked if she would not still raise the child if the father were dead.

He warned her to take the matter off social media, stating that nobody can force Davido to undergo a DNA test. According to him, Davido could even file a harassment case, which may lead to a restraining order. He added that she could pursue the matter legally if she chooses, recommending lawyers like Femi Falana or Afe Babalola for possible pro bono services.

Daddy Freeze also criticised her decision to go public, saying announcing that the child resulted from a one-night stand does not reflect well on her. He noted that her claim of being a waitress who agreed to sex when approached does not present her in a good light.

Pope Leo XIV Warns “War Is Back in Vogue,” Urges Global Leaders to Choose Dialogue Over Force

In a blunt address to the Diplomatic Corps, Pope Leo XIV has warned that “war is back in vogue” as nations increasingly pursue peace through military force instead of diplomacy, justice, and dialogue. The pontiff expressed deep concern over rising geopolitical tensions, the erosion of multilateral institutions, and the growing culture of unilateralism, stressing that innocent civilians always bear the highest cost of armed conflicts.

The Pope called on world leaders to embrace humility, dialogue, and compromise, emphasizing that lasting peace cannot be imposed by force but must be patiently built through justice, listening, and cooperation. He also highlighted the crucial role of global institutions in mediating conflicts, even as the world faces challenges like wars, displacement, economic inequality, and climate crises.

Diplomats at the address described it as one of the strongest critiques of contemporary international politics by the Holy See, underscoring the Vatican’s role as a moral voice for peace. Pope Leo XIV concluded by urging leaders to resist the temptation of violence and “have the courage to choose peace, even when it is difficult.”

Is Abuja Safe Anymore? NBA Raises Alarm Over Return of ‘One-Chance’ Killings After Murder of Nurse and Lawyer

The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has raised a grave alarm over what it described as the disturbing return of “one-chance” criminal operations in Abuja following the brutal killing of two professionals in separate incidents across the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). In a statement signed by its President, Mazi Afam Osigwe, SAN, the association warned that insecurity is once again tightening its grip on Nigeria’s seat of power.

According to the NBA, the victims were Ms. Chinemerem Pascalina Chuwumeziem, a nurse, and Princess Chigbo Mediatrix, a lawyer and former Treasurer of the NBA Abuja Branch. Both women were allegedly murdered after falling prey to criminals posing as commercial transport operators—an infamous tactic known locally as “one-chance.” Their bodies were later discovered in different parts of the city, sparking widespread fear among residents.

The association described the killings as a chilling reminder of the growing vulnerability of Abuja residents, stressing that the victims were not faceless individuals but professionals who simply intended to return home safely from their daily engagements. The NBA said the incidents had plunged the capital into grief and exposed a dangerous deterioration in public safety.

Condemning the attacks in the strongest terms, the NBA warned that the pattern of “one-chance” crimes could no longer be ignored. It stated that criminal gangs masquerading as transport operators have turned routine commuting into a life-threatening gamble, making ordinary citizens, workers, and professionals targets on the city’s roads.

Osigwe described the killing of Princess Chigbo Mediatrix as particularly painful for the legal community, noting that she was a committed member of the Bar whom he knew personally. He said her death was not only a professional loss but a deeply personal blow, underscoring that lawyers—like all Nigerians—remain dangerously exposed in an environment where criminals operate with impunity.

The NBA warned that the murders represent more than individual tragedies, arguing that they signal a broader erosion of security in the FCT. It stressed that when citizens cannot commute safely, when professionals are attacked in plain sight, and when criminal networks act unchecked in the nation’s capital, the foundations of social order are severely threatened.

Calling for urgent action, the association urged the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, the Nigeria Police Force, and other security agencies to treat the situation as a full-scale security emergency. It demanded immediate, visible, and coordinated measures to dismantle “one-chance” syndicates, including intensified intelligence gathering, surveillance, policing of transport corridors, and targeted operations against known criminal networks.

The NBA also insisted on thorough, transparent, and time-bound investigations into the killings, warning that failure to deliver justice would deepen public fear and embolden criminal elements. It emphasized that justice must not only be promised but must be seen to be done, with perpetrators, collaborators, and enablers identified, arrested, and prosecuted.

Reaffirming the state’s duty to protect lives, the association said citizens should not have to choose between earning a living and staying alive. It warned that Abuja must not become a hunting ground where criminals prey on the vulnerable while law enforcement appears distant or reactive.

The NBA extended condolences to the families of the victims, the healthcare community, the NBA Abuja Branch, and residents of the FCT. The killings have reignited public debate over safety in Nigeria’s capital, raising urgent questions about urban security, policing, public transport safety, and government accountability in protecting citizens from organized street crime.

ADC Says Trump’s Action Against Venezuela’s Maduro Is a Warning to Illegitimate Governments, Slams Tinubu’s Silence as Embarrassing for Nigeria

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has described recent actions by the United States under President Donald Trump against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife as a strong warning to governments that lack legitimacy, urging Nigeria to draw lessons from the development. In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, the party said the move sends “a strong message” to Nigeria and other countries where leadership is allegedly sustained by flawed elections and repression.

While reaffirming its support for national sovereignty and non-interference as enshrined in the UN Charter, the ADC argued that these principles should not be used to shield tyranny, electoral fraud, and the denial of citizens’ right to choose their leaders. Citing the 2024 Venezuelan presidential election, the party noted widespread international condemnation over alleged fraud, repression, exclusion of opposition candidates, violent suppression of protests, and the use of state institutions against citizens—developments it said have driven mass migration and regional instability.

The ADC acknowledged that U.S. intervention raises concerns under international law but maintained that the public celebrations within Venezuela reflect a deep legitimacy crisis for the Maduro government. The party also criticised the Tinubu administration’s silence, calling it “deeply embarrassing” and evidence that Nigeria has lost influence and moral authority on the global stage. It concluded that sovereignty must reflect the will of the people, not merely the survival of a regime, warning that “contrived mandates” and election rigging will no longer find safe haven.

First Lady's New Year Message

First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu has called on Nigerians to choose peace, empathy, unity as well as continued investment in the wellbeing of children, women and the vulnerable, as they embrace the new year, 2026.

She made the call in a New Year message, titled "Hope On The Horizon", where she expressed gratitude for the new year, filled with joy, great hope, and an assurance of God’s promises for the nation.

The past year, she says, reaffirms the enduring spirit of Nigerians who showed courage, strength, creativity, and unwavering belief in a better tomorrow, noting that she is deeply inspired by women, men, and young people across the nation who continue to work tirelessly to uplift their families, communities, and the country.

While affirming her belief in Nigeria, the First Lady urges everyone to invest in what the nation can become by creating opportunities that allows every Nigerian to thrive with dignity.

Amala is overrated—
Lilian Afegbai says as she raises concern over the color

Nollywood actress and producer Lilian Afegbai has stirred reactions online after she revealed why she believes popular Nigerian delicacy Amala is overrated. Speaking on the Xtra Spicy Podcast, Lilian admitted she has never tasted Amala and doesn’t intend to, mainly because of its colour and appearance.

When asked which Nigerian food she considers overrated, she immediately mentioned Amala and openly stated she doesn’t eat it. According to her, the meal’s dark look already discourages her from trying it.
“I haven’t tried Amala and it’s black… why is it black?” she said, explaining that she chooses food based on look and sight, and Amala does not appeal to her visually.

When the host compared Amala’s colour to dark chocolate, asking if she eats that, Lilian explained that although “I don’t eat chocolate, I’m not a fan of extremely dark ones either”, stressing that her preference is largely influenced by how a meal looks.

Her remarks have since sparked mixed reactions, with some agreeing that appearance influences appetite, while others defended Amala as one of Nigeria’s most loved traditional meals despite its colour.

ICPC Must Uphold Justice, Fairness, and Rule of Law

In this opinion piece, Muhammed Al-Ameen stresses the critical role of anti-corruption agencies like the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) in Nigeria’s fragile democracy. He argues that these institutions are vital to maintaining the integrity of the state, and their independence is non-negotiable.

Independence and integrity of anti-graft agencies are essential; any political manipulation threatens democracy.

ICPC under Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu, SAN—a Senior Advocate of Nigeria—is increasingly seen as politically biased, ignoring court orders and engaging in selective justice.

Senior Advocates are expected to uphold the law and serve as examples, but ICPC’s leadership has allegedly disregarded judicial processes, undermining public trust.

Mishandling Aliko Dangote’s petition against Farouk Ahmed (NMDPRA), effectively defending the accused instead of conducting an impartial investigation.

Ignoring an interim injunction by Kano State High Court protecting ALGON members from harassment.


Such actions signal institutionalized lawlessness, where those knowledgeable of the law use it selectively for political purposes.


Recommendations:

Immediate intervention by the Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Committee (LPPC) regarding petitions against Dr. Aliyu.

ICPC must comply with all outstanding court orders and rid itself of political interference.

The Presidency and judiciary should ensure the ICPC functions as a neutral, accountable watchdog.


Al-Ameen concludes that ICPC’s credibility and Nigeria’s democratic integrity are at stake. The agency must choose between strengthening the rule of law or becoming a tool for political vendettas.

The piece calls for restoration of institutional sanity, fair enforcement of laws, and prioritizing the public’s interest over political expediency.

Julius Malema Says He’ll Choose Nigeria and Jollof Over U.S. Visa Restrictions

South African EFF leader Julius Malema has dismissed concerns over potential U.S. or U.K. visa bans, saying he does not rely on Western approval and would rather travel freely across African nations. In a fiery address, Malema declared he would happily come to Nigeria for Jollof if barred from America, recalling warm receptions and hospitality during past visits. His remarks form part of broader criticism of Western influence and growing speculation over possible travel sanctions linked to his radical economic and anti-imperialist stance.

Just In: Mali’s President Goïta Drops Bombshell — “We Either Fight for Our Freedom or Remain Slaves Forever”

In a powerful and emotional address, Mali’s President Assimi Goïta has sent a bold warning to his people and the world, insisting that Africa must choose between fighting for its freedom or remaining “slaves forever.”

According to Goïta, Mali and several African nations are being hunted, pressured, and manipulated by foreign powers using terror!sm as a tool of control.

“We either fight this w@r or remain slaves forever, because they are hunting us,” he declared.

Goïta accused powerful foreign interests of pretending to provide “help” while secretly working to dominate African countries politically and economically.

He alleged that these global actors are:

Influencing who becomes president, prime minister, mayor, and political leaders

Forcing African nations to give up shares in mining corporations

Trying to control national passports and security systems

Targeting ownership of Africa’s natural resources

His message to citizens was clear: wake up, recognize the thre@t, and defend national sovereignty before it’s too late.

This statement is already sparking debate across Africa — especially as more nations question the intentions of external powers on the continent.

Do you think African nations should cut ties with foreign powers and political influence?

10 Bail Conditions Police have no Right to Demand Know your Rights before you Suffer Abuse

Police Cannot Demand Money as “Bail Fee”
Bail is FREE at the police station. The Police Act and the Constitution say so.
Anything like:
– “Pay bail money.”
– “Bring ₦20k to open the file.”
– “Bail is ₦50k.”
is illegal. You are not paying for freedom, freedom is your right.

Police Cannot ask you to bring Fuel, Water, Pure Water, or Logistics
This nonsense is common.
“Go and buy fuel for patrol.”
“Bring money for pen and paper.”
“Contribute for the generator.”
None of these is a bail condition. It is extortion.

Police Cannot Force you to bring a Surety with a Particular Profession
They can ask for a responsible surety, but they cannot dictate:
“Your surety must be a civil servant.”
“Bring a lawyer.”
“Bring a level 12 officer.”
The only requirement is that the person is identifiable, traceable, and willing.

Police Cannot Demand Land Papers or House Documents for Minor Offences
Requiring heavy property documents for small offences is oppressive and illegal. Bond must match the nature of the case not intimidate you.

Police Cannot Tell You to Sign Statements Before Bail
Your right to silence is constitutional. If you choose not to write any statement, they cannot hold bail hostage. Bail is not “reward for confession.”

Police Cannot Demand ATMs, Phone Passwords, or Bank App Access
This is a violation of privacy and a criminal act on their part. You are not to surrender financial tools
because you want bail.

Police Cannot force you to bring the Complainant before Bail is Granted
Bail conditions must relate to your return, not the availability of the complainant. Conditional bail on “bring the complainant” is unlawful.

Police Cannot ask you to Pay for Cell Space
“Cell money,”
“Accommodation fee,”
“Space for sleeping…”
All illegal. Police custody is not a hotel.

Police cannot ask you for Bribes through Indirect Codes
Some officers say:
“Arrange something.”
“Make the boys happy.”
“Put something for the table.”
“Appreciate us.”
All of these are illegal. Bail is not appreciation. It is a constitutional right.

Police Cannot withold Bail to Punish you
Bail cannot be denied because:
– You “annoyed” an officer
– You refused to pay bribery
– You didn’t greet properly
– You insisted on your rights
– You don’t have money
Bail is only denied when there is strong legal reason, not emotional reasons.

THE RULE IS SIMPLE
Bail must be reasonable
must not be punitive,
must not be commercial,
must not be used to exploit you.

Ignorance is expensive.
Knowledge is power; and your rights remain your rights.

whether you know them or not.
Now you know.

Confidence Aribibia
I remain your favorite lawyere
