Omoyele Sowore, activist and former presidential candidate, has sparked fresh online debate after criticizing some Nigerian pastors and the role of churches.

In his words, many people become pastors because they couldn’t succeed in other careers or don’t want to do “serious work.” He also shared a personal encounter with a popular pastor, saying he suggested turning the pastor’s church into a hospital for one year to save lives. According to Sowore, the pastor got upset and has avoided him since.

His comments have triggered mixed reactions online, with many people agreeing and others calling the statement unfair and insulting.

Wahala Don Set for Judiciary! ‘Mr Justice Steppin’ Razor’ Drama Sparks Outrage Over Judges, Bribes and Malami Case

Wahala don set for Nigeria judiciary as a fiery opinion by human rights lawyer Chidi Anselm Odinkalu don scatter the internet, exposing what many now call the rise of “Mr Justice Steppin’ Razor” inside Nigerian courts.

The article, inspired by legendary reggae singer Peter Tosh’s song Steppin’ Razor, takes aim at judges who, instead of quietly doing their jobs, now mount the courtroom like a stage—boasting, threatening and performing toughness while serious allegations of bribery and influence quietly pass without action.

According to Odinkalu, some judges in Nigeria are beginning to see themselves as untouchable strongmen—“dangerous judges”—who talk tough but refuse to use the powers the law has already given them to deal with corruption.

The writer recalled how in August 2023, a senior judge, Justice Flora Azinge, publicly complained in court that lawyers had allegedly tried to bribe her with ₦10 million. Rather than naming the culprit, reporting the matter or punishing the offenders, she reportedly chose to issue public warnings and threats—without taking concrete action.

Fast forward to this past week, and history appears to be repeating itself.

At the Federal High Court in Abuja, Justice Polycarp Nwite, while ruling on the bail application of former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, his wife and son over money laundering and corruption charges, reportedly declared himself “dangerous.” He warned lawyers not to approach him or attempt to influence his decisions, insisting that any such move would be “vehemently resisted.”

But Odinkalu no gree.

According to him, this kind of courtroom performance is nothing but noise if the judge refuses to take the legal steps available to him. Under Nigerian law and international judicial standards, judges are expected to be independent, impartial and firm. Any attempt to influence a judge is a crime—and there are clear options: report to the police, punish for contempt, refer lawyers for disciplinary action, or openly name and shame the offenders.

Instead, the author says, some judges prefer drama to discipline.

“This kind of talk without action,” Odinkalu argues, “does more harm than good. It makes the judiciary look weak, compromised and unserious.” In his words, a judge who complains about being approached but refuses to identify or sanction the culprits is not defending justice—he is advertising that he can be tested again.

In the Malami case, the judge neither named the lawyers allegedly trying to influence him nor recused himself from the matter. To Odinkalu, that is a serious failure of judicial responsibility.

For many Nigerians already frustrated with corruption, selective justice and political interference in the courts, this write-up only confirms their worst fears: say judges dey shout ‘I be dangerous’, but when e reach time to act, everywhere just go silent.

As reactions continue online, one thing is clear—this is not just about one judge or one court case. It is about the credibility of Nigeria’s justice system itself.

And as Nigerians would say:
If judges dey fear to act, who go protect justice? Wahala don really set for this country judiciary.

How Did Anthony Joshua Survive While His Friends Died? Boxer Breaks Silence After Tragic Crash, Mourns Sina Ghami and Latif ‘Latz’ Ayodele

How does a world-famous champion come to terms with a tragedy that took the lives of those closest to him? And what does faith, grief, and survival mean when you are left behind?

Former heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua has finally broken his silence after the fatal crash that claimed the lives of his close friends, Sina Ghami and Latif “Latz” Ayodele, describing the moment as one of deep sorrow, reflection, and spiritual resolve. In his first public message since the incident, Joshua turned to X (formerly Twitter) to thank supporters and mourn the men he called his “brothers.”

Their funeral prayers, held at the London Central Mosque, drew large crowds of mourners from both the Nigerian and British communities, including friends, associates, and supporters who gathered to pay their final respects. The turnout reflected not just the loss of two individuals, but the weight of a tragedy that has shaken Joshua’s inner circle.

In his message, the boxer revealed how he had never fully understood the importance of those around him until it was too late. “I didn’t even realise how special they are… not even knowing God kept me in the presence of great men,” he wrote. His words captured the pain of hindsight—how ordinary moments of laughter and companionship suddenly became memories of irreplaceable lives.

But was Joshua the true victim of the crash—or merely the survivor of a loss that families will carry forever? The boxer acknowledged that while the experience had been emotionally devastating for him, the burden on the parents and loved ones of the deceased was far heavier. “100% it’s tough for me, but I know it’s even tougher for their parents,” he said.

Joshua also turned to faith for comfort, expressing his belief that God understood the hearts of the men who were lost. “I have a strong mind, and I believe God knows their hearts,” he wrote, before ending with a simple but powerful prayer: “May God have mercy on my brothers.”

As investigations into the circumstances surrounding the crash continue, public attention has remained fixed not only on the tragedy itself but on Joshua’s survival. Why was the boxing star spared when those closest to him were not? And how does one move forward when fame, success, and strength cannot shield against grief?

For fans around the world, Joshua’s message offers more than mourning—it reveals a deeply personal side of a global sports icon grappling with loss, faith, and the fragile nature of life. In the aftermath of the crash, his words stand as a reminder that even champions are not immune to heartbreak, and that survival can sometimes be the heaviest burden of all.

Will Wike Have to Bow to Fubara in APC? Why the Party Says the FCT Minister Must Follow Rivers Governor—and What This Power Shift Means for 2027 Politics

Is Nyesom Wike’s political influence in Rivers State finally being clipped? If the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister decides to join the All Progressives Congress (APC), will he really be forced to operate under his successor, Governor Siminalayi Fubara? And what does this internal power struggle reveal about the battle for 2027?

The APC has made its position unmistakably clear: if Wike defects to the ruling party, he will not assume a dominant leadership role over the sitting Rivers State governor. According to the party’s Director of Information, Bala Ibrahim, leadership within the APC is tied strictly to current political office—not past power. While Wike would be “given a position” within the party, Ibrahim stressed that he would “certainly be under” Governor Fubara, who currently holds the highest elective office in Rivers State.

Why such a firm stance? Ibrahim explained that political authority follows office, not personality. “When he was the governor, he was followed. Now that he’s not the governor, he must follow,” he said, underscoring that once a leader vacates a seat, they no longer retain its power. In other words, past influence cannot override present authority in the APC’s hierarchy.

But is this just about party protocol—or something deeper? Reports suggest that Wike’s alleged efforts to undermine Fubara’s 2027 re-election bid have suffered a major blow. Several APC governors are said to have rallied behind Fubara, signaling growing support for the Rivers governor at the highest levels of the party. Party sources indicate that renewed tensions between the two men were triggered after top APC figures openly endorsed Fubara for a second term—an outcome Wike is reportedly opposed to.

What changed inside the APC? Insiders say the party leadership has become increasingly impressed with Fubara’s governance style and development projects, earning him favor among key decision-makers. This apparent shift in loyalty is being interpreted as a strategic move to consolidate power around the sitting governor while weakening Wike’s influence in his home state.

The conflict reportedly deepened when Wike’s allies attempted to push a preferred candidate for the Imo governorship without consulting the APC Governors’ Chairman, Governor Hope Uzodimma. Party officials claim this move backfired, prompting APC governors to close ranks around Fubara as part of a broader effort to curb Wike’s political reach. Some insiders even suggest that powerful figures within the Tinubu administration no longer see Wike as a favored ally.

So what does this mean going forward? If Wike eventually joins the APC, he may find himself navigating a party structure where authority is no longer shaped by his past dominance but by current officeholders—chief among them Governor Fubara. The unfolding drama raises critical questions: Is Wike’s era of control in Rivers coming to an end? Will Fubara emerge as the undisputed political force ahead of 2027? And is the APC deliberately re-engineering power in Rivers to sideline one of Nigeria’s most formidable political figures?

As endorsements mount and party leadership draws firm lines, one thing is clear: Rivers State politics is entering a decisive phase—and the outcome could reshape the state’s political landscape for years to come.

Is This Crazy or Inspirational? Why Did T-Pain Buy a Private Jet for His Family—and What Does It Say About His Comeback? | Fintter

Is buying a private jet for your family a bold celebration of success—or a risky flex in an industry known for financial crashes?

Grammy-winning American rapper and singer T-Pain has set social media ablaze after surprising his mother and family with a private jet, in an emotional moment captured on video. The clip, shared on his official pages on January 6, 2026, shows the artist—real name Faheem Rashad Najm—leading his loved ones toward a sleek blue-and-white aircraft on an airport tarmac before casually revealing: he bought it for them.

His mother’s stunned reaction said it all.
“You just bought the plane?! This is crazy!” she exclaimed, as the family broke into celebration, boarding the jet and enjoying snacks and drinks inside the cabin. For T-Pain, the moment symbolised more than luxury—it was victory after years of struggle.

But the big question remains: Is this a powerful story of redemption, or a financial gamble dressed as success?

From Financial Struggles to a Private Jet

T-Pain’s lavish gift comes nearly a year after a major financial turning point. In February 2025, the rapper sold his music publishing catalogue and select master rights to HarbourView Equity Partners. He described the deal as one that would “secure wealth for generations,” marking a dramatic shift in his financial trajectory.

This move followed a difficult chapter in his career. In the late 2000s, T-Pain revealed that mismanagement of a $40 million advance had led to serious financial setbacks, despite his global fame. For years, fans watched as one of music’s most influential hitmakers appeared to fade from the spotlight.

Now, the private jet is being seen as a symbol of resurgence, redemption, and smart long-term strategy.

A Celebration—or a Warning Sign?

Online reactions have been mixed but emotional. Many fans praised T-Pain for making his mother proud and reclaiming his place at the top. Others offered words of caution, urging him to protect his wealth, avoid unnecessary spending, and ensure the jet is used strategically—through chartering, tax planning, or business operations.

Some observers even called the purchase a “tax-savvy power move”, suggesting that with proper management, private aircraft ownership can reduce operating costs and generate income when leased.

But critics ask: In an industry filled with stories of stars who went broke after extravagant spending, is buying a private jet truly wise? Or is it a dangerous symbol of excess?

What Does This Say About Success in Music Today?

Beyond the headlines, T-Pain’s story raises deeper questions about modern celebrity wealth:

Is selling a music catalogue the smartest way for artists to secure long-term financial freedom?

Does luxury spending reflect success—or does real wealth lie in investments and sustainability?

Should public figures be celebrated for lavish displays, or for financial discipline?


Interestingly, the debate echoes comments made by Nigerian music mogul Don Jazzy, who recently said he would never buy a private jet despite being able to afford one. He emphasised investments, personal growth, and long-term impact over flashy purchases.

So where does T-Pain’s decision fall—visionary or risky?

A Moment of Pride, a Test of Legacy

For T-Pain and his family, the jet is more than a machine—it is a symbol of perseverance, recovery, and gratitude. His declaration in the video, “We fing did it,”* reflects the emotional weight of overcoming past mistakes and reclaiming success.

Yet, for fans and critics alike, the story invites a broader conversation:
Is this the ultimate example of “making it,” or a reminder that wealth must be handled with extreme care?

Did T-Pain make the right choice selling his music catalogue?

Should artists prioritise investments over high-profile purchases?

Would you rather own a jet—or build long-term passive income?

Is T-Pain’s private jet purchase inspirational—or is it a risky flex in an industry that has seen too many stars fall?

Gombe Government Disburses N14 Million to Families of 7 Deceased Journalists

The Gombe State Government has disbursed a total of N14 million to the families of seven journalists who lost their lives in a tragic motor accident along the Billiri-Kumo Road.

The fatal crash occurred on Monday, December 29, 2025, as the journalists were returning from the wedding ceremony of a colleague in Kaltungo Local Government Area.

Each bereaved family received N2 million from Gombe State Government as financial support to augment burial and related expenses.

The intervention is part of Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya’s commitment to cushioning the impact of the painful loss on the affected families.

Presiding over the disbursement exercise on behalf of the Governor, the Secretary to the State Government, Professor Ibrahim Abubakar Njodi, disclosed that an initial token of support had earlier been provided to the families of the injured victims immediately after the incident.

He added that the Governor has also assumed full responsibility for the medical treatment and hospital bills of those who sustained injuries and are currently receiving care.

Professor Njodi reiterated the commitment of the present administration to the welfare of journalists, expressing deep sorrow over the monumental loss to the state and the media profession.

“Our hearts have been restless since this tragic incident. While we cannot bring back the departed or fully compensate for the loss, His Excellency has approved this support to assist with burial expenses, just as the government has taken full responsibility for the medical bills of those who survived,” he said.

He stressed that the funds were not compensation, but a gesture of compassion aimed at supporting the families during this difficult period.

Professor Njodi further conveyed the Governor’s heartfelt condolences to the families of the deceased, the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), the management of the National Television Authority (NTA) and the entire media community, urging the bereaved families to take solace in the will of Allah.

Speaking during the event, the National President of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Comrade Alhassan Yahaya Abdullahi, expressed profound appreciation to the Gombe State Government for what he described as a swift, compassionate and unprecedented intervention.

He noted that the NUJ members nationwide were deeply grateful for the support extended to both the families of the deceased and journalists currently receiving medical treatment.

Comrade Alhassan Yahaya also called on the Federal Government to fast-track the implementation of life and health insurance schemes for journalists, urging state governments, including Gombe, to key in once the policy is implemented.

The General Manager of NTA Gombe, Abubakar Adamu, conveyed the appreciation of the Director-General of the NTA, Salihu Dembos to Governor Inuwa Yahaya for his generousity and compassion stating that the entire NTA family across the country holds the Gombe State Government in high esteem for the gesture.

Speaking on behalf of the bereaved families, Barrister Abubakar Ahmed praised Governor Inuwa Yahaya for the gesture, describing the intervention as the first of its kind in the history of the state.

“This support of N2 million to each family will go a long way in addressing both the immediate and long-term needs of the dependants. We truly lack words to express our gratitude. May Allah reward the Governor and his administration abundantly,” he said.

Heartbreaking Last Words of Businessman Trapped in Lagos Great Nigeria Building Fire Emerge as Victim Dies Under Rubble

Tragedy struck Lagos Island’s Balogun Market after a devastating fire engulfed the 25-storey Great Nigeria Insurance House plaza, leading to a partial collapse that trapped several traders inside. One of the victims, Nze Obum, a China-based cloth merchant, was later confirmed dead after being buried under the rubble.

Audio recordings of Obum’s final phone calls have since surfaced online, revealing his desperate pleas for rescue as he lay trapped beneath the debris. According to reports, Obum had returned to Nigeria for the Christmas holidays to support his wife, who had just given birth, and to sell goods at the market. He was reportedly retrieving remaining stock from his shop when the building collapsed.

A fellow trader, Zacheaus Afolayan, confirmed Obum’s death, stating that his body was recovered by emergency responders and released to his family for burial in Anambra State. In one of the calls made around 2 a.m., Obum begged not to be abandoned, referencing his young children. A second, weaker call reportedly followed later the same day.

The incident has sparked widespread outrage and grief on social media, with many Nigerians questioning emergency response times and lamenting the state of safety infrastructure in the country. Netizens described the audio as deeply traumatic, urging authorities to place greater value on human life and improve disaster response systems to prevent similar tragedies in the future.

The man out of shock simply placed his hand on her shoulders and said...

My dear, this love, and infatuation are all nothing, you're too young to be behaving like this.

Please go home and study hard so that you can have a successful life
He then placed a piece of paper in her hand and said...I have written some words of wisdom and religious verses for you, read them before you go to sleep. God loves you
And he walks away

The girl went back to her hustle in Shame and guilt
Before she sleeps she opened the paper and read and it was ......

Are you blind? My wife was standing behind me. This is my number, call me. Anyway, I love you too.

WHEN A TERRORIST TESTIFIES BEFORE THE WORLD:

BELLO TURJI SPEAKS, AND NIGERIA STANDS ACCUSED

By
Sa'adiyyah Adebisi Hassan

What does it mean when a country’s Minister of Defence becomes the subject of a public rebuttal by a self-confessed terrorist?

What do we call a nation where a mass murderer feels confident enough to issue a sermon, clarify figures, confirm negotiations, and invoke God while the state watches in silence?

Nigeria no longer needs analysts.
Nigeria now has testimony.

FULL STATEMENT BY BELLO TURJI (UNEDITED, QUOTED IN FULL)

Bello Turji, a globally wanted terrorist leader responsible for mass killings, kidnappings, and terror across Nigeria’s North-West, released a video message. Below is his statement quoted word for word, from A to Z, as spoken:

“In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

People of the world, I greet you with the Islamic greeting: Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.

My Muslim brothers and sisters in Nigeria and across West Africa, I wish you well. I do not need to mention my name, everyone knows who I am. I am Muhammad Bello Turji.

We make demands on the government, and if the government listens and changes its ways, by Allah, there will be peace. But if the government refuses, then by Allah, you know who I am. I am Bello Turji.

I am here to send a message to those who have turned our lives in Nigeria into dust. They keep killing us, and they keep arguing among themselves, blaming one another for what is happening.

I listened to the confession of Musa Kamarawa, who does not know what he is doing. This same Musa is claiming he has evidence, especially after Matawalle sued the cleric Murtala Asada.

Musa Kamarawa, by your own words you have now admitted that you are a terrorist like us. Yes, I agree that the Zamfara State Government under Matawalle asked you to act as an intermediary between us and the government in order to negotiate peace. But about three percent of what you are saying is a lie.

You claimed that we came to the Government House and that Matawalle gave me ₦30 million. I swear by Allah, since the day I was born, Matawalle has never given me even ₦5 million. I am not here to defend Matawalle.

In this world, the person I hate most is Matawalle. During his tenure as governor, there was a day when we buried 70 people - men, women, and children - killed by a bomb blast. It was also during his tenure that my father was unjustly arrested and sent to prison. You know this very well. So tell me, how can I love Matawalle?

However, I will not allow you to use my name to defame someone or lie against anyone. Yes, during Matawalle’s era, negotiations took place. Anything you say, I can defend myself alongside the late Kachalla Halilu, who is no longer alive.

Musa, you are a hypocrite. You claimed Matawalle gave us ₦30 million - were you the one who held the money? I am a witness. Morsidi and I went to see Matawalle, but he did not give me even ₦3 million. I swear to Allah.

You also spoke about dusa. The dusa was given after negotiations, when we agreed to stop killing and the government also agreed to stop killing us. Your committee was given the responsibility to buy the dusa, at ₦650,000 per bag.

Musa, you do not fear Allah. You are a bad person. Even if Matawalle is killed today and only you are left, you will not live forever. Fear Allah, Musa Kamarawa. Fear Allah.

If terrorists are truly what the authorities are looking for, then they should arrest your godfathers - the former governor of Sokoto State and Yarima. We have heard that what is happening in Zamfara and Sokoto began with them. Were they not the ones who destroyed Fulani houses? Were they not the ones who created local vigilante groups to kill Fulani people?

Musa Kamarawa, you know me and I know you. The house you live in, in Isa Local Government - about one kilometre away - was it not your godfather who bought Fulani settlements and cleared them? Yet you still ask who brought trouble to Zamfara? Your godfathers are the source.

Subhanallahi, wa iyyazu billahi.

Before Matawalle became governor - during Shehi’s era - who then was sponsoring us ? We come from Rabbil ‘Alamin, from Almighty Allah. No one is bankrolling us.

If you are attempting blackmail, know this: no one can use us for politics. We have nothing to do with politicians. No one can use me to blackmail anyone.

Matawalle cheated me, and I leave him to Rabbil ‘Alamin.”

That is the full statement.
Nothing added. Nothing removed.

WHAT THIS CONFESSION ACTUALLY MEANS

Strip away the religious language and personal grudges, and what remains is devastating:

1. A terrorist publicly admits to negotiations with a state government.

2. He confirms intermediaries were officially used.

3. He confirms material items (“dusa”) were provided after negotiations.

4. He disputes amounts - not the act itself.

This is not denial.
This is damage control between criminals and power.

INTERNATIONAL LAW: THIS IS TERRORISM FINANCING - FULL STOP

Under international law, none of this is ambiguous.

United Nations Security Council Resolution 1373

Criminalizes:

Direct or indirect support to terrorist groups

Provision of funds, goods, food, or logistics

Negotiations that involve material benefit

There is no “peace talks” exception when:

terrorists remain armed,

no formal disarmament occurs,

and killings continue.

Financial Action Task Force (FATF)

Defines terrorism financing as:

“The provision or collection of funds or assets, directly or indirectly, with the intention or knowledge that they be used by a terrorist organisation.”

Food, vehicles, cash, livestock feed - all qualify as assets.

Comparative Reality

In Colombia, officials went to prison for negotiating with FARC.

In Italy, governments collapsed over mafia talks.

In Pakistan, ministers were removed for “contacts.”

In France or the UK, a defence official would be suspended within hours.

In Nigeria, a terrorist clarifies the deal on video.

THE MOST DAMNING PART: THE CONFIDENCE

Bello Turji did not hide. He did not run. He did not whisper.

He spoke calmly. He invoked God. He corrected records. He warned others.

That confidence is not accidental.

It comes from a system that has lost its fear of law.

THIS IS STATE FAILURE IN REAL TIME

This is no longer about politics. Not about parties. Not about religion.

This is about whether Nigeria still qualifies as a sovereign state under international norms.

When terrorists speak like insiders,
when defence officials remain untouched,
when confessions meet silence,

the world draws its own conclusions.

Nigeria is crying and the evidence is speaking for itself.
