The footage was posted on Melaye’s official X account on November 13, 2025.

The video was recorded during an incident in Abuja where Wike and his entourage attempted to inspect a plot of land but were reportedly blocked by Lieutenant Ahmed Yerima and other military personnel.

Lagos to Partially Close Lekki–Ajah Corridor for Eight Months of Road Repairs.

The Lagos State Government has announced plans to partially close sections of the Lekki–Ajah corridor for eight months to facilitate major rehabilitation and improvement works aimed at easing traffic congestion.

Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, revealed this in a statement on Wednesday, stating that the project will run from Saturday, November 15, 2025, to Wednesday, July 15, 2026.

Osiyemi explained that the rehabilitation, which has already begun with preliminary works, will be executed in two phases to minimize disruption.

According to him, the first phase will cover seven sections, during which one lane will be closed while the other remains open to motorists. Once repairs on the first lane are completed, construction will shift to the opposite side.

“Motorists heading toward Lekki and Ajah will continue to have access throughout the construction,” he assured.

For the second phase, vehicles moving from Ajah toward Lekki will be diverted to one lane while work continues on the other. “When the first lane is completed, work will shift to the second. At all times, movement toward Ajah will remain open,” Osiyemi added.

The commissioner noted that some sections of the corridor will experience partial closures during the entire project period.

He appealed to motorists and residents to remain patient and cooperate with traffic officials. “We urge road users to obey traffic officers and follow diversion signs as directed. These repairs are part of the Lagos State Government’s commitment to improving road infrastructure and ensuring safer, smoother journeys for everyone,” he said.

Reactions As Force PRO Shares IGP's Statement Saying Army Is Not The Nation's First Line Of Defense.

A statement by the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, emphasizing the vital role of citizens in safeguarding national stability, has sparked widespread conversation on social media. The message, shared by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, on his official X account (formerly Twitter), has drawn mixed reactions from Nigerians across different online communities.

In the post, which quickly gained traction after it was published on Wednesday, the Police Chief highlighted the importance of unity, civic responsibility, and respect for the rule of law as the foundation of a nation’s defense system. Egbetokun’s message called on Nigerians to recognize that national security is not the sole duty of the military or law enforcement agencies, but a collective responsibility shared by all citizens.

Sharing the Inspector General’s statement, Hundeyin quoted him as saying:“The truth is that a nation's first line of defense is not its army, it is its people; educated, disciplined and united by the rule of law.”

The Inspector General’s assertion, emphasizing civic consciousness over militarization, has prompted a wave of online reactions. Many users praised the statement as a powerful reminder of the role of citizens in maintaining peace and order, while others expressed skepticism, urging the police to demonstrate greater commitment to upholding the very laws they champion.

Some commentators interpreted the message as a subtle call for national unity amid growing social and political tensions. Others argued that while the sentiment was noble, it must be matched with visible reforms in policing and governance to restore public confidence.

Despite the diverse opinions, the IGP’s remark has resonated widely, reigniting conversations about civic responsibility, law enforcement integrity, and the shared duty of protecting the nation’s democratic values.

ChatGPT Stops Giving Health, Legal, and Financial Advice Amid New Safety Rules.

OpenAI has tightened restrictions on ChatGPT, barring it from offering personal medical, legal, or financial advice.

The chatbot, once viewed as a go-to problem solver, is now classified as an “educational tool” that explains general ideas instead of giving specific recommendations. According to NEXTA, the decision stems from regulatory pressure and fears of legal liability, as tech companies move to avoid being held responsible for harmful or misleading advice.

Under the new guidelines, ChatGPT can outline general concepts but will no longer provide medication names, dosages, legal document drafts, or investment suggestions. The goal is to prevent users from mistaking its responses for expert guidance.

Many previously relied on it like a “virtual doctor” or online therapist, often leading to unnecessary worry or emotional dependence. However, the AI cannot examine patients, detect distress, or replace professional judgment.

The same applies to legal and financial matters  ChatGPT can define terms like a 401(k) or contract clause but cannot review personal cases or ensure legal accuracy. Privacy concerns also play a role, as sharing sensitive details such as health data or bank information with an AI system could expose users to risks.

This policy shift protects both users and OpenAI: users gain safety from misinformation, professionals retain control over specialized fields, and the company reduces its exposure to lawsuits. The update reinforces one key principle — AI can educate, but human experts must advise.

Akpabio Slams Viral Post Mocking Trump: “It’s a Complete Fabrication” — Senate President Denies Making Anti-Trump Comments

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has firmly denied a viral social media post alleging that he mocked U.S. President Donald Trump over his recent comments on alleged Christian persecution in Nigeria.

The Senate leader, through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Eseme Eyiboh, described the viral post as “malicious, fabricated, and reckless misinformation”, warning Nigerians to disregard it entirely.

The controversial post, circulated by a social media page known as Rant HQ, falsely quoted Akpabio as saying that Nigerians were “satisfied with killings” and that Trump should “focus on the U.S.” The statement stirred widespread outrage amid rising diplomatic tension following Trump’s warning of possible military action in Nigeria.

“The post is a total falsehood — a product of mischief and a desperate attempt to incite misunderstanding between Senator Akpabio and President Trump,” Eyiboh stated.


He clarified that Akpabio, known for his diplomatic approach and global reputation, holds Trump in “high regard as a leader of a great nation” and would “never issue comments on matters concerning U.S. domestic affairs or Nigeria’s foreign policy.”

The Senate President’s office condemned the post as “digital recklessness aimed at tarnishing reputations and inflaming diplomatic sentiments,” urging social media users to verify information before sharing.

Trump’s earlier post on Truth Social — where he threatened potential U.S. military intervention in Nigeria to tackle “Islamic terrorists” — has continued to generate global debate.

“Freedom of expression is not freedom to lie,” Eyiboh warned, calling for responsible communication online.


Akpabio’s office reaffirmed that the Senate remains focused on strengthening democratic institutions and maintaining Nigeria’s global diplomatic respect.

China Reportedly Tightens Rules for Influencers; Mandates Proof of University Qualifications before discussing professional subjects.

China has introduced stricter regulations for social media influencers, requiring anyone who discusses professional topics such as medicine, finance, law, or education to provide proof of their qualifications before posting content.

Under the new rules issued by the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), influencers must show evidence of formal training, a university degree, or verified professional expertise before they can share advice in these sensitive fields.

The move is part of Beijing’s ongoing effort to tighten oversight of online content and curb the spread of misinformation. Platforms including Douyin, Weibo, and Bilibili are now responsible for verifying the credentials of creators. Influencers who fail to comply risk account suspension or permanent closure, as well as fines of up to 100,000 yuan (about $14,000).

Authorities say the policy aims to ensure that professional advice shared online comes from credible sources, protecting users from misleading or inaccurate information. However, digital analysts warn that the move could further centralize control over online discourse and limit independent voices, especially in areas where social media has become an alternative source of information.

The new rules come amid broader efforts by Beijing to regulate influencer activity and enforce “orderly and healthy” communication on Chinese social platforms, reflecting the government’s growing influence over how expertise and public opinion are expressed online.

Reactions As Dele Farotimi Warns Egbetokun: Nothing Must Happen To Yele, He Went To Custody Healthy.

Human rights lawyer and activist, Dele Farotimi, has stirred widespread reactions on social media following a post shared on his official X account (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, October 25, 2025.

In the strongly worded message, Farotimi expressed concern over the detention of activist Omoyele Sowore, warning authorities against any harm coming to him while in custody.

He wrote, “Let me be clear… nothing must happen to Yele. He went into custody healthy, a victim of an intolerant fascist state, and absolutely nothing must happen to him. Egbetokun! You have been warned.”

His post quickly drew attention from users who echoed his fears about rising political repression and the shrinking space for dissenting voices in the country.

One user reacted by calling out the silence of elder statesmen, saying, “This is the right time for Prof Wole Soyinka to talk about fascist, but it’s very unfortunate that he has lost his voice.”

Another comment reinforced Farotimi’s warning to the police chief, stating, “Egbetokun! You have been seriously warned. Nothing unpleasant must happen to Yele.”

A different user lamented the nation’s current state, writing, “Yes o, we’re fast drifting into a police state, a failed one.”

Tragedy as Dangote truck crushes pregnant woman, child, six others in Ondo.

A pregnant woman, mother and her child on Wednesday night lost their lives alongside six others in a fatal road crash that occurred in the university community of Akungba-Akoko, Akoko South-West Local Government Area of Ondo State involving a cement-laden truck.

The horrifying accident occurred around 8:00 pm, a few metres from the main gate of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA), and the popular Holy Trinity Church.

The articulated truck, which was in transit through the community from Obajana in Kogi State and allegedly belonging to Dangote Cement, had allegedly suffered brake failure before ramming into traders and other road users in the densely populated area of the community.

Infuriated by the incident, enraged sympathisers blamed that accident on the removal of the barricade earlier mounted to prevent articulated vehicles from accessing the community.

The sympathisers, who thronged the accident scene, lamented that the tragedy has brought back painful memories of previous accidents in the area, which have claimed many lives over the years.

According to one of the sources, “Some boys in the community had been using the barricade erected to extort N10,000 from the truck drivers before allowing them to pass through. The government turned blind eyes.”

While confirming the incident, the Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps in the state, Ibitoye, stated eight people lost their lives in the accident.

He said, “The deceased persons include five males, two females and one child. The truck ran into a barricade in front of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, and lost control, resulting in the crash.”

Drama As Fan Sprays 9ice With ₦5 Notes.

A viral video features a man spraying Nigerian musician 9ice with ₦5 notes during a live performance.
The incident has elicited mixed reactions from viewers, ranging from shock to amusement.
The clip gained popularity over the weekend, highlighting the unusual act of tossing money at a performer.

A trending video on social media has stirred mixed reactions after a man was captured spraying veteran Nigerian musician 9ice with ₦5 notes during a live performance.

The short clip, which began circulating over the weekend, shows the man gleefully tossing the small denomination notes at the singer as onlookers reacted with shock and amusement.

The incident reportedly took place at a local event where 9ice was performing one of his popular tracks. While some guests found the act entertaining, others condemned it as “disrespectful” to a music icon who has contributed immensely to the Nigerian entertainment industry.

Online users have since taken sides. One viewer asked, “Na insult?” while another humorously wondered, “₦5 notes still dey?” A section of the audience argued that it was a clear show of disregard, insisting that a legend like 9ice deserved better treatment.

However, several commenters defended the man, suggesting he merely sprayed what he could afford. One wrote, “Na wetin him get, him spray.” Another added jokingly, “He go later press money; make him enjoy small cruise first.”

The viral moment has reignited discussions about the culture of money spraying in Nigeria a long-standing tradition that’s often seen as a sign of appreciation. While many believe that any amount given in good faith should be accepted, others argue that using very low denominations can come off as an insult, especially to established entertainers.

As the video continues to circulate, social media remains divided torn between viewing the act as light-hearted fun or a slight against one of Nigeria’s respected musical figures.

Pastor sparks reactions after burning goat during church ritual.

A viral video has surfaced online showing the shocking moment a pastor set a live he-goat ablaze on the church altar during a service.

The disturbing scene, which has been widely circulated across social media platforms, shows the animal tied and burning as congregants looked on.

Many viewers have condemned the act, describing it as barbaric, cruel, and unchristian. Concerned citizens have called for the pastor’s immediate arrest, tagging the incident as clear animal abuse.

Netizens demand arrest and investigation
Reactions online have been fierce, with Nigerians questioning how such acts are allowed to take place within a place of worship.

Some commenters labelled the act as “spiritual madness” while others urged authorities to take swift action to protect both worshippers and animals from such reckless practices.

Several users argued that the pastor’s actions not only violated animal rights but also posed a major fire hazard, endangering lives within the church premises.

Authorities yet to respond
As of press time, no official statement has been released by law enforcement agencies regarding the viral incident.

Observers say the video raises urgent questions about the regulation of religious activities and the need for better oversight to prevent similar cases of abuse and endangerment in future.

“Seyi Tinubu Didn’t Add My Video Because of My English!” — Lege Miami Speaks Out on Birthday Tribute Snub


Popular Nigerian actor and matchmaker, Lege Miami, whose real name is Adams Kehinde, has finally addressed his absence from the viral birthday tribute video made for Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The trending tribute, which featured some of Nigeria’s biggest personalities — including Burna Boy, Femi Otedola, Aliko Dangote, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and Olamide Badoo — left fans wondering why Lege, a self-proclaimed close associate of Seyi, was not included.

Many social media users teased Lege Miami over the omission, prompting the actor to respond. In a new video, Lege revealed that his “poor English” was the reason his clip didn’t make it into the final cut.

“Because I cannot speak good English, Seyi did not add my video to the post,” he said jokingly, adding that people should not blame Seyi for the decision.


However, reactions flooded social media, with some fans disagreeing with Lege’s explanation.

@mz_lara commented:

“I don’t think it’s because you can’t speak English. Even market women and Amala sellers spoke Yoruba in the video. You need to stop being controversial; that’s why people avoid associating with you.”



@kenny_alert added:

“Your problem is not bad English but low self-esteem. Let that go, and you’ll realize you’re fine the way you are.”



While some mocked his grammar — quoting his line “Seyi is not added my video” — others defended him, calling him a loyal friend who always stands by Seyi Tinubu.

One fan wrote:

“A true friend will love you no matter how dull you are. Seyi should appreciate Lege — he’s always had his back.”

Despite the teasing, Lege Miami took the criticism in stride, laughing off the remarks and keeping his trademark humor alive.

Lagos government demolishes Ola of Lagos Auto showroom, influencer vows to rebuild bigger and better.

The Lagos State Government has reportedly demolished the luxury car showroom of popular automobile influencer, Ola of Lagos, also known as Waris Olayinka Akinwande, sparking mixed reactions across social media.

The demolition, which took place over the weekend, affected OOL Autos, Ola’s recently launched showroom that showcased premium and exotic vehicles.

In his post, Ola stated:
“Yes, my showroom was demolished, but by God’s grace, we move. OOL Autos is still standing — and we’ll be back, bigger and better.”

“We’re not giving up. This is just a setback — a setup for a greater comeback,” he added.
The demolition adds to a series of enforcement actions by the Lagos State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, aimed at clearing illegal or unsafe structures across the metropolis.

OAP Nedu Wazobia Claims Married Men ‘Lack Work-Out the Most’

Popular on-air personality and comedian, Nedu Wazobia, has stirred conversation online after claiming that many married men suffer from a lack of sexual satisfaction.

Speaking on The Clarity Zone Podcast, Nedu said most married men are deprived of sex, despite public perceptions that marriage ensures regular intimacy.

“Do you know that the people that lack sex most are married men? All you that are watching me, don’t sit down there and pretend,” he said.

His comment has since sparked mixed reactions among social media users, with some agreeing that marital responsibilities and stress often reduce intimacy, while others accused him of making a generalised and controversial statement.

Nedu, known for his controversial takes on relationships, has previously made headlines for his outspoken views on marriage, fidelity, and gender roles in modern relationships.

Lere Olayinka Slams Critics Over INEC Chairman Mix-Up — Clarifies Confusion Between Prof. Amupitan and Prof. Osipitan

Political aide Lere Olayinka, media adviser to former Rivers State Governor and current FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, has reacted sharply to the ongoing confusion surrounding the identity of the newly appointed INEC Chairman, Professor Joash Amupitan.

The controversy erupted after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s appointment of Professor Joash Amupitan from Kogi State as the new Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), following the exit of Professor Mahmood Yakubu. The decision, which was ratified by the National Council of State, sparked widespread debate online after several people mistakenly identified the new INEC boss as Professor Taiwo Osipitan (SAN) — a senior advocate and legal scholar.

Addressing the confusion on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, Lere Olayinka criticized those spreading misinformation, accusing them of intellectual laziness and failing to verify facts before commenting.

He wrote:

“People with sawdust-populated brains won’t know the difference between Amupitan and Osipitan. They don’t know that Prof. Taiwo Osipitan (SAN) is different from Prof. Joash Amupitan.”


Olayinka’s blunt statement reignited debate on social media, as Nigerians scrambled to distinguish between the two professors. Some users called for transparency from government communication channels to avoid similar identity mix-ups in the future.

Meanwhile, research into Professor Joash Amupitan’s background is ongoing as the public seeks to learn more about the man set to lead Nigeria’s electoral body into its next phase.

WhatsApp Set to Replace Phone Numbers with Usernames in Major Privacy Update.

WhatsApp is testing a groundbreaking feature that will allow users to connect without revealing their phone numbers. Instead, users will be able to create unique usernames, a move similar to what’s seen on Instagram, Telegram, and X — marking one of the most significant privacy changes in the platform’s history.

The new feature, currently spotted in WhatsApp’s beta testing phase, will let people chat and join groups using usernames instead of phone numbers, giving users greater control and privacy, particularly in large or business group chats.

Le@ked images reveal a new “Username” section in user profiles, enabling people to choose personalized handles and hide their phone numbers if desired.

While this update could make WhatsApp function more like a social network, it has also sparked concerns about potential username hoarding and impersonation. However, WhatsApp is reportedly developing verification measures to curb such misuse.

The feature remains in testing, but if fully rolled out, it could redefine how more than two billion users connect — shifting WhatsApp’s focus from numbers to names.

Nigeria Seeks just $2bn China Loan to Build National Super Grid, Tackle Power Deficit — Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu.

Nigeria is negotiating a $2 billion loan with China’s Export-Import Bank to fund the construction of a new “super grid” designed to resolve the nation’s chronic electricity shortages and stimulate industrial expansion.

Power Minister Adebayo Adelabu disclosed this at an economic summit in Abuja on Monday, explaining that the proposed transmission network will connect the country’s eastern and western regions — home to most of Nigeria’s industrial users. He said the project forms part of government efforts to decentralize power generation and encourage major industrial consumers who abandoned the unreliable national grid to reconnect.

“It’s part of our strategy to decentralize power generation and bring back heavy commercial users who left the grid because of its instability,” Adelabu stated.

Nigeria’s power sector remains one of the biggest obstacles to economic growth.
Despite an installed capacity of about 13 gigawatts, the national grid delivers only a fraction of that to more than 200 million citizens, frequently suffering system collapses. By contrast, South Africa, with a quarter of Nigeria’s population, generates around 70 gigawatts.

Adelabu noted that the widespread shift to self-generation now accounts for nearly half of Nigeria’s total electricity use. The planned super grid, he said, will boost transmission efficiency and deliver more power to industrial zones. The Federal Executive Council has already approved the project’s financing plan.

The initiative aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s economic reforms, which include fuel subsidy removal, tax law overhaul, improved oil sector security, and efforts to enhance the financial stability of the power industry.

Adelabu also revealed that recent electricity tariff adjustments for urban consumers have strengthened revenue in the sector, rising by 70% in 2024, with projections to grow another 41% to ₦2.4 trillion ($1.6 billion) by year’s end.

Diddy Pleads for Mercy, Blames Past on Drugs Ahead of Sentencing.

Rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has begged a U.S. judge for leniency ahead of his sentencing on Friday, saying his violent past was fuelled by drug addiction and insisting he has changed after 13 months in jail.

In a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian, Combs apologised “for all of the hurt and pain that I have caused” and admitted: “I literally lost my mind. I’m sorry for that and always will be. My domestic violence will always be a heavy burden that I will have to forever carry.”

He also apologised to another woman, “Jane,” who testified against him, saying he had been “lost in the drugs and the excess. I lost my way. My downfall was rooted in my selfishness. I have been humbled and broken to my core.”

The 54-year-old, convicted in July of two prostitution charges, faces up to 20 years in prison. Prosecutors want at least 11 years, while his lawyers are pushing for his release this month.

Combs argued that “the old me died in jail and new version of me was reborn,” adding he is now sober “for the first time in 25 years” and teaches fellow inmates about business.

But his accusers urged a long sentence, with singer Cassie Ventura warning: “I am so scared that if he walks free, his first actions will be swift retribution towards me and others who spoke up. He has no interest in changing or becoming better. He will always be the same cruel, power-hungry, manipulative man that he is.”

Prosecutors echoed that view, writing: “The defendant tries to recast decades of abuse as simply the function of mutually toxic relationships. But there is nothing mutual about a relationship where one person holds all the power and the other ends up bloodied and bruised.”
