“What pained me most about Destiny Boy’s death,” says Iya Ogba, “was seeing the video where pliers and a hammer were used to remove his gold teeth. The people around him that day need to be arrested. They allowed too much access to his dead body.”

Destiny Boy was just 22 years old (Oku Ofo). Who on earth is happy seeing the body of a 22-year-old?

“I burst into tears when I saw that traumatizing video. Why didn’t you allow him to be buried with his teeth? Those greedy people removed them to sell, and you still had the mind to collect the money after selling them. Where is your conscience?”

Iya Ogba continues:
“Where were his parents and family members when they were removing the teeth? This shows people only care about you when you are alive. Nobody truly cares about your dead body. Enjoy your money while you are still alive. Some family members only care because you are giving them money.”

Nigerian Research Institute to Spend N1.1B on Grinding & Welding Equipment to Empower Youths and Women in 2026

The National Cereals Research Institute has revealed plans to spend ₦1.1 billion on grinding machines, welding equipment, mobile carts, and vulcanising machines in 2026. The initiative aims to empower youths and women in the Niger Delta States to start small businesses.

In addition, the institute allocated ₦4.1 billion to supply grains to rural farmers in selected South-South communities, and another ₦4.9 billion to purchase grains for farmers nationwide. A further ₦350 million is earmarked for capacity building for grain producers in South-West Nigeria.

The announcement comes amid concerns raised by civic watchdog MonITng, which previously criticized empowerment projects in Aguata Federal Constituency, Anambra State, as mismanaged and outdated, arguing that providing wheelbarrows, hoes, and cutlasses does not adequately equip youths for today’s economy.

MonITng stressed that true empowerment should combine skills training (like welding, ICT, tailoring, or agro-processing) with meaningful tools, rather than handing out obsolete implements.

At a time when nations invest in technology-driven agriculture and digital empowerment, spending millions on cutlasses and wheelbarrows is a waste of public funds,” the group said.



The 2026 plan by the Cereals Research Institute reflects a shift towards more practical and business-oriented empowerment programs, aimed at giving Nigerians the tools to create sustainable livelihoods.

Bill Gates’ $8 Billion Donation: Philanthropy or Divorce Deal?
Five years after their high-profile divorce, Bill Gates has transferred nearly $8 billion to Melinda French Gates’ Pivotal Philanthropies Foundation—one of the largest public donations ever disclosed. The payment, revealed in new tax filings, is part of a $12.5 billion agreement tied to their 2021 split, which followed revelations of Gates’ alleged affairs and workplace misconduct claims.

While supporters hail the move as a massive boost for philanthropy, others are asking uncomfortable questions: is this generosity, accountability, or simply the cost of a controversial divorce? And should personal scandals reshape how the public views billionaires’ charitable giving?

Will the U.S. Control Venezuela for Years? Trump Says Washington Will Oversee Venezuela’s Oil, Rebuild the Country and Decide Its Future After Maduro’s Removal

Is the United States preparing to govern Venezuela for years, and will oil revenues determine the country’s political and economic future?

U.S. President Donald Trump has said that Washington will take control of Venezuela and oversee its oil sector for a period that will extend far beyond a short-term transition. Speaking in a wide-ranging interview published on January 8, 2026, Trump indicated that American involvement in Venezuela would be long-term, with the country’s vast oil reserves at the center of U.S. strategy.

When asked how long the United States would remain in control—whether for months, a year, or longer—Trump responded: “Only time will tell… I would say much longer.” The statement signals that U.S. oversight of Venezuela is not envisioned as a brief handover process but one that could last several years.

Trump said the United States plans to rebuild Venezuela while exerting control over its most valuable resource, oil. “We will rebuild it in a very profitable way,” he said, following the January 3 operation in which U.S. forces seized President Nicolás Maduro. According to Trump, oil will play a central role in the rebuilding effort. “We’re going to be using oil, and we’re going to be taking oil. We’re getting oil prices down, and we’re going to be giving money to Venezuela, which they desperately need,” he stated.

The president also confirmed that Washington is working closely with Venezuela’s interim government after Maduro’s removal, describing relations with interim president Delcy Rodríguez—a longtime ally and former vice president of Maduro—as cooperative. Trump further appeared to soften earlier rhetoric toward neighboring Colombia, inviting its leftist leader to Washington after previously criticizing him.

The remarks come amid a broader shift in U.S.–Venezuela relations centered on energy and trade. Trump recently announced that Venezuela would use proceeds from a new oil agreement to purchase only American-made products, including agricultural goods, medicines, medical devices, and equipment for upgrading the country’s electricity grid and energy facilities. He portrayed the move as strengthening bilateral ties and positioning the United States as Venezuela’s principal commercial partner.

Earlier reports also confirmed a deal allowing Venezuela to export $2 billion worth of crude oil to the United States—an agreement the administration described as a major diplomatic breakthrough. The arrangement is expected to divert Venezuelan oil away from China, ease production pressures, and mark a significant realignment in the region following months of heightened U.S. pressure on Caracas.

But Trump’s comments raise major questions:
Will U.S. control of Venezuela become a prolonged political and economic occupation?
Who will ultimately decide how Venezuela’s oil wealth is managed and distributed?
And can long-term foreign oversight deliver stability—or deepen regional tensions?

As Washington places oil revenues at the heart of its strategy, the future of Venezuela appears increasingly tied to U.S. policy, energy markets, and geopolitical interests. Whether this approach leads to reconstruction or controversy, Trump’s statements make one thing clear: American involvement in Venezuela is not temporary, and the country’s oil will shape what comes next.

Did a Pastor Use Police and Courts to Silence a Worker? Ex-Husband’s Shocking Claims Against Apostle Chikere Nwafor | Fintter

Can a religious leader allegedly use the police and the courts to keep a poor church worker behind bars—and get away with it?

A disturbing set of allegations has emerged against Apostle Chikere Nwafor, founder of Heaven’s Gateway Ministries in Lagos, after her ex-husband, Mr. Martin Ogbulu, accused her of orchestrating the arrest, prosecution, and continued imprisonment of a longtime church caretaker, Mr. Alfred Morris Oyawari.

According to Ogbulu, Alfred—who had overseen the church’s building projects, houses, and properties since 2018—has been languishing in Ikoyi Prison since April 2025 over allegations of missing building materials. The ex-husband insists the accusations were fabricated and driven by fear that Alfred might later sue the cleric for wrongful treatment.

A Caretaker, Not a Criminal?

Ogbulu describes Alfred as a loyal, humble worker who managed church construction and supervised contractors for years, often while both he and Apostle Chikere were outside Nigeria during the COVID-19 period. Despite the heavy responsibility placed on him, Alfred reportedly earned only ₦40,000 per month.

He even volunteered to live alone on the church’s three-acre property in Ibeju-Lekki, near Amen Estate—an isolated area where no one else was willing to stay. From there, he acted as caretaker, site supervisor, and the main link between the church leadership and contractors.

So how did such a worker end up in prison?

“She Said She Had Locked Him Up”

Ogbulu claims that in April 2025, Apostle Chikere informed him that Alfred had been arrested because some items allegedly went missing from the construction site. Even if there had been an issue, he questioned the moral basis of criminal prosecution by a religious leader.

> “Even if it was him, what are you preaching? Are you not preaching forgiveness?” he asked.
“You bundled a man who looked after your building from 2018 to 2025, locked him up, and took him to court.”



Since then, Alfred’s case has reportedly been repeatedly adjourned, leaving him stuck in detention.

Alleged Police Pressure and a Chilling Condition

In one of the most troubling claims, Ogbulu alleged that the police demanded that Alfred’s relatives sign an undertaking promising that Alfred would never sue Apostle Chikere for wrongful detention as a condition for his release.

According to him, the Investigating Police Officer handling the case allegedly said that “madam” was giving instructions, and that Alfred’s family must agree not to take legal action if he were freed.

Ogbulu says he agreed in desperation—because Alfred is poor and has no means to fight the system.

“He Calls Her From Prison, Begging for Mercy”

Ogbulu revealed that Alfred occasionally gets access to a phone in prison and uses it to beg Apostle Chikere for forgiveness, calling her “Mummy” and pleading to be released.

> “Seeing Alfred in prison breaks my heart,” he said.
“This young man has begged her countless times, even from inside prison.”



He further described Alfred’s family as extremely poor, saying his father—a retired security officer from a riverine community—lacks the resources to pursue legal action.

Pattern of Abuse or Isolated Case?

Beyond Alfred’s ordeal, Ogbulu alleged a broader pattern of intimidation within the church, recounting incidents in which members were allegedly humiliated or physically confronted, only to later be appeased with money.

He warned that Alfred’s case might be one of many involving vulnerable Nigerians who allegedly fall victim to abuse of power within religious and law-enforcement structures.

> “Can you imagine how many other people are languishing in jail that nobody knows about?”



Silence From Those Accused

When contacted for a response, Apostle Chikere Nwafor reportedly said she would “get back,” but did not. Attempts to reach the police officer allegedly in charge of the case were also unsuccessful.

This leaves the public with unsettling questions about justice, power, and accountability in Nigeria’s criminal justice system.

Controversy Erupts as Olu of Warri Greets Governor Sanwo-Olu After Female Executive’s Handshake Blocked”

A viral video has sparked widespread discussion after Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse III, visited Lagos State and was seen greeting Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu with a handshake, contrasting a recent incident where a female executive’s handshake attempt was blocked by his aides. The event took place during the Storytellers Conference at the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and Creative Arts, with the governor also giving the traditional ruler a tour of the renovated National Theatre in Iganmu.
The footage shows Olu of Warri standing to shake hands with Governor Sanwo-Olu, prompting social media users to comment on the apparent double standard regarding his interactions with men and women. Many pointed out that the king’s aides had previously prevented a woman from shaking his hand, a decision interpreted by some as cultural tradition, while others criticized it as outdated or unfair.
Social media reactions captured the variety of opinions, with some defending the traditional protocol:
tontolofabrics argued hierarchy should be respected, noting the king’s status versus the executive.
defenderofjust cited African customs where kings typically avoid handshakes with women due to traditional beliefs about purity.
Others highlighted perceived inconsistencies:
_ismo99 and Jamesdeyemi pointed out the king shakes hands with prominent officials like the governor but blocks ordinary individuals, especially women.
ashleightatti commented on the irony of cultural traditions intersecting with modern governance and social expectations.
The incident reignited discussions on gender norms, protocol, and respect for traditional authority in Nigeria. It also followed previous highlights of Olu of Warri’s public appearances, including inspecting road projects on a scooter and hosting Big Brother Naija stars Kellyrae and Kassia, who donned Itsekiri-themed attire and posed with the traditional ruler.
This episode underscores the public scrutiny of cultural leaders in modern Nigeria, especially when their actions intersect with official government figures and evolving social expectations. While some praise the adherence to tradition, others call for reconsideration of gendered protocols in public interactions.

Museveni Says Even Uganda Can Harm U.S. in Ground War, Cites Venezuela Crisis to Renew Call for Pan-African Security and Military Unity

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has stated that despite the United States’ overwhelming military dominance across sea, air, and space, it remains vulnerable in ground combat, arguing that even countries like Uganda could inflict damage in a close-range land confrontation. Museveni made the remarks while responding to questions on Pan-Africanism and lessons Africa can draw from Washington’s recent military intervention in Venezuela.

According to Museveni, U.S. military power lies in its ability to operate simultaneously across four domains—sea, air, space, and land—giving it a decisive advantage over many adversaries long before direct engagement. However, he noted that once operations shift to land, that advantage diminishes, exposing even powerful forces to harm.

He further explained that while the United States maintains surveillance and technological superiority even on land, weaker states remain strategically exposed across multiple fronts, highlighting a deep imbalance in global security. Museveni traced Africa’s vulnerability to the failure of post-independence leaders to pursue collective security and genuine Pan-African unity in the 1960s.

Citing the Venezuela crisis as a warning, Museveni concluded that Africa must urgently revive Pan-African cooperation, particularly in defence and security, to avoid remaining fragmented and strategically disadvantaged in an increasingly militarised world.

Governor Inuwa Yahaya Signs N617.95bn 2026 Budget into Law, Says Gombe Will Continue to Lead with Action

...Gombe Takes the Lead, Appropriates N12bn for Northern Security Fund

Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, CON, has signed the 2026 Appropriation Bill of Gombe State into law, giving the force of law for the implementation of the N617.95 billion “Budget of Consolidation.”

The signing ceremony, which took place at the Council Chamber of the Government House, Gombe, followed the formal presentation of the Appropriation Bill as passed by members of the Gombe State House of Assembly, led by the Speaker, Hon. Abubakar Mohammed Luggerewo.

The 2026 budget makes provision for N189 billion as recurrent expenditure, accounting for 21.6 per cent, while N428.5 billion, representing 69.4 per cent, is devoted to capital projects, further reinforcing the administration’s focus on infrastructure, service delivery and long-term growth.

Governor Inuwa Yahaya had initially presented a N535.69 billion budget proposal to the House. After a legislative review, the Assembly approved an upward adjustment of over N82 billion, bringing the total budget size to N617.95 billion.

A key feature of the budget is the allocation of N12 billion for regional security fund, translating to a N1 billion monthly contribution, in line with resolutions of the Northern States Governors’ Forum. The move places Gombe State at the forefront of collective efforts by northern states to confront insecurity through practical and sustained funding.

Speaking at the signing ceremony, Governor Inuwa Yahaya reiterated his administration’s commitment to the safety of lives and property, the completion of ongoing legacy projects, and the delivery of people-focused development across both urban and rural communities.

He explained that the 2026 budget prioritises critical sectors such as health, education, social investment, environmental protection, mineral resources development, and includes a special allocation for the Gombe State Commission for Persons with Disabilities (GSCPWD).

“This administration remains fully committed to responding to the needs and aspirations of our people with a budget that is realistic, responsible and centred on the citizen,” the Governor said.

Reflecting on his administration’s record, Governor Inuwa Yahaya noted that no sector of the state’s economy has been neglected since he assumed office.

“In the history of Gombe State, no government has touched the lives of the people across so many sectors like this one. From health and education to infrastructure and social support, the impact is visible,” he stated.

He thanked the House of Assembly for what he described as a thoughtful and people-oriented review of the budget, assuring that the government would maintain the fiscal discipline it is known for.

According to him, budget implementation under his leadership has consistently exceeded 70 per cent.

The Governor also commended the lawmakers for their unity and seriousness during the budget process, describing their full attendance at the presentation of the estimates as a strong sign of mutual respect and cooperation between the executive and legislative arms of government.

Governor Inuwa Yahaya expressed gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Federal Government for their continued support to Gombe State through various development programmes, while appealing for even more interventions in the year ahead.

“We started with work. We are still working. And by the grace of God, we will end with more work,” he said.

Earlier, Speaker Abubakar Luggerewo, said the lawmakers were at the Government House to formally present the 2026 Appropriation Bill for the Governor’s assent.

He disclosed that the House received the budget proposal on 13 November 2025, subjected it to detailed scrutiny, and held an extended session of the Appropriation Committee in Calabar, Cross River State, to enrich the document with additional inputs, leading to modest upward adjustments.

The Speaker praised Governor Inuwa Yahaya for the numerous development projects across the state, particularly in the health, education and other key sectors.

He recalled that a recent health summit organized by the state government drew experts from across the world, most of whom acknowledged Gombe State’s steady progress in healthcare delivery.

Hon. Luggerewo said the Assembly’s adjustments to the budget were made in good faith and in the best interest of the people.

He also appreciated the Governor for ensuring healthy working relationship among the arms of government and for providing the legislature with vehicles and other logistics that have improved their efficiency.

After Tinubu, I Am the Most Ab¥sed Politician in Nigeria — Wike Sets January 2026 Timeline for Rivers Politics

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has described himself as the most ab¥sed politician in Nigeria after President Bola Tinubu, while declaring that political activities in Rivers State will officially begin in January 2026.

He spoke on Saturday at a thanksgiving service organised by former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Chibudom Nwuche, in Ochiba community, Ahoada East Local Government Area.

The former Rivers State governor reaffirmed his unwavering loyalty to President Tinubu, stressing that he does not renege on agreements and remains committed to political decisions taken in good faith. He also thanked the people of Ahoada East and Ahoada West for their steadfast support over the years.

Recalling the 2023 general elections, Wike praised residents for standing firm in support of Tinubu at a time many politicians were uncertain, noting that their resolve helped strengthen the President’s mandate in Rivers State.

He appeared to criticise politicians who recently aligned with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), suggesting their support came too late. Wike emphasised the importance of honouring political agreements, warning that his camp would not be taken for granted as the next political cycle approaches. He added that frequent att@cks against him stem from his insistence on accountability and adherence to agreements, alleging that some politicians abuse him for personal gain.

Earlier, Chibudom Nwuche commended Wike for his developmental contributions to the Ekpeye Kingdom, particularly the elevation of several traditional stools during his tenure as governor. He said Wike’s leadership positively impacted the people, earning him enduring loyalty across the area.

CHIEF OF NAVAL STAFF COMMISSIONS BOREHOLES AND COMMUNITY HEALTH POST IN PLATEAU STATE

On Tuesday, 23 December 2025, the Chief of the Naval Staff (CNS), Vice Admiral Idi Abbas (Admiralty Medal), commissioned nine boreholes and the Dikam Dungku Community Health Post at Fungzai, Bwai District, Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State, under the Chief of the Naval Staff Special Quick Impact Projects (CNSQIP). The projects were facilitated by Rear Admiral Habila Dunku Zakaria, an illustrious son of the Fungzai Community, Mangu North LGA, while the CNS was represented at the event by the Chief of Naval Engineering, Naval Headquarters, Rear Admiral Nan’manle Damtong.

While commissioning the projects, Rear Admiral Damtong stated that the interventions reflect the Nigerian Navy’s commitment to community development beyond its core security responsibilities. He noted that the CNSQIP, introduced in 2024, aligns with the Federal Government’s Renewed Hope Agenda and the Navy’s civil–military cooperation mandate. The CNS commended Rear Admiral Zakaria for giving back to his community and urged beneficiaries to use and maintain the facilities responsibly.

In his remarks, Rear Admiral Habilab Dunku Zakaria, the facilitator of the project, described the initiative as a strategic step towards improving the health, dignity and well-being of rural communities, particularly women, children and the elderly. He explained that the boreholes would ensure access to clean drinking water, while the community health post would serve as a first line of defence for disease prevention, health education, routine medical care, treatment of common ailments such as malaria, and immunisation services for children. The ceremony was attended by community members, traditional rulers, political office holders and friends of the facilitator.

Ohanaeze Ndigbo Declares Annual Thanksgiving Day To Commemorate Igbo Survival Of Nigeria-Biafra Civil War

The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, has officially designated the last Sunday of every January as an annual thanksgiving day to commemorate the survival of the Igbo people during the Nigeria-Biafra Civil War of 1967–1970. The resolution was unanimously adopted during the group’s Imeobi meeting held at the International Conference Centre (ICC) in Enugu.

Announcing the decision, Ohanaeze’s Deputy President General, Prince Okechukwu Nwadinobi, explained that the thanksgiving day is meant to acknowledge what the organisation describes as divine intervention that spared the Igbo from total annihilation during the war. He stated that all Igbo people are encouraged to attend church services on the chosen day to express gratitude to God for preservation and survival amid the horrors of the conflict.

Nwadinobi noted that the leadership of Ohanaeze, under Senator Azuta Mbata, considered it necessary to institutionalise the annual thanksgiving, stressing that without God, the support of a few Nigerians, and intervention from the international community, the Biafran cause and the Igbo people might not have survived. He recalled that the war was marked by deliberate attempts to wipe out Biafra, making survival itself a profound historical milestone worthy of remembrance.

Beyond the thanksgiving initiative, Nwadinobi outlined several interventions undertaken by the current Ohanaeze leadership to safeguard Igbo interests nationwide. These include a high-level delegation to Lagos over the demolition of Igbo-owned businesses in Festac Town and the Trade Fair Complex, engagement with affected traders after the Mandilas Plaza fire incident, and the formation of professional teams to guide Igbo entrepreneurs on best business practices.

He also disclosed a new partnership between Ohanaeze and Otu Oka Iwu, a body of legal experts, aimed at providing free legal services to Ndigbo on issues affecting their welfare and rights.

In a goodwill message, former Archbishop of the Enugu Anglican Communion, Dr. Emmanuel Olisa Chukwu, welcomed the resolution, describing it as spiritually significant. Recounting his near-death experience during the war, including the Asaba genocide, the cleric said the decision resonated deeply with the Igbo people, whom he described as deeply religious and sustained by faith through decades of hardship.

Christmas, he notes, stands as a profound expression of God’s boundless love and His gift of peace to humanity.

The governor urged everybody to reflect deeply on these enduring values and allow them to guide their conduct towards one another.

Governor Fubara also added that regardless of individual faiths, let everyone uphold religious tolerance and recommit themselves to the noble responsibility of being one's brother’s keeper amid the socio-economic challenges.

On security during the yuletide, Governor Fubara urged all residents to remain security-conscious, as safeguarding the state is a shared responsibility that begins with vigilance, cooperation, mutual respect and support.

After Donating ₦20 Million, Davido Expands Luxury Fleet With Another Rolls-Royce, Sparks Reactions Online

Nigerian music superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido or OBO, has once again set social media buzzing after reportedly adding another Rolls-Royce luxury car to his already impressive garage, barely days after giving out ₦20 million in cash gifts. The development has reignited conversations about the singer’s wealth, generosity, and high-profile lifestyle.

Fans and observers noted that Davido made no dramatic announcement or lengthy speech about the new acquisition. Instead, the singer simply let his actions do the talking, reinforcing his reputation for effortlessly blending philanthropy with luxury. The purchase comes shortly after he surprised many Nigerians by freely distributing ₦20 million, an amount some described as “small change” for the Afrobeats icon.

With multiple Rolls-Royce vehicles already linked to him, social media users jokingly described his garage as less of a car collection and more of a “family meeting,” with the new luxury car welcomed as another “sibling” among the already existing fleet. The development further cements Davido’s status as one of Africa’s most successful and flamboyant entertainers.

Reactions online ranged from admiration to disbelief, as fans praised his hard work, consistency, and financial success, while others humorously remarked that “money is working overtime” for the singer. As Davido continues to dominate the music scene globally, his lifestyle choices remain a constant topic of discussion, symbolizing both success and influence in the Nigerian entertainment industry.

Trump Offers $3,000 Incentive for Illegal Immigrants to Leave the US
Offer Details: President Donald Trump’s administration has tripled its previous offer, giving illegal immigrants $3,000 plus a free flight to return to their home countries if they voluntarily self-deport by the end of 2025.
Official Statement: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem urged migrants to take the offer, warning that those who refuse could face arrest and permanent ban from returning.
Background: Earlier estimates suggested it costs about $17,000 per person to arrest, detain, and deport illegal migrants, making the voluntary program more cost-effective.
Self-Deportation App: The administration rebranded the app CBP Home (formerly CBP One) to facilitate voluntary departures.
Previous Deportations: Migrants, including children, have been deported to Central American countries, like Costa Rica, with a maximum 30-day stay before returning to their home nations.
Nigeria’s Response: The Nigerian government, under President Bola Tinubu, has prepared to receive deported Nigerians and set up an inter-agency committee to handle their reintegration.
Takeaway: This initiative is part of the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration crackdown, encouraging voluntary departure while highlighting potential legal and logistical consequences for noncompliance.
