“Tinubu does not have the answers” — Verydarkman slams president over insecurity crisis

 Social media critic Verydarkman has strongly criticised President Bola Tinubu over the country’s worsening insecurity situation.

In a video shared online, VeryDarkMan expressed frustration over recent comments made by the president while addressing security concerns.

According to him, Nigerians expected direct answers and concrete solutions regarding kidnappings, violence, and attacks affecting communities across the country.

The activist claimed the president failed to adequately address the issue and instead spoke about religious references, which he argued did not provide reassurance to citizens facing insecurity. He further stated that the government appears overwhelmed by the scale of the crisis.

Verydarkman also warned about the growing threat posed by armed groups and called for stronger leadership and urgent action to protect lives and restore public confidence in national security.

His words …

“The commander in chief of the armed forces was asked about the insecurity issues that have gone further to claim lives,chase people out of their homes,school children and teachers as hostages to bandits…..the president was asked about insecurity unfortunately he couldn’t give and answer instead he started talking about holy books and how Abraham took Isaac to the bush to sacrifice……BOLA AHMED TINUBU DOES NOT HAVE THE ANSWERS,HE SHOULD STEP DOWN BEFORE BOKO HARAM AND OTHER T34rrorzt group finish us all”

“National Shame” — Peter Obi slams insecurity in schools on children’s day

 Nigeria’s former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has expressed deep concern over the continued abduction of schoolchildren across the country, describing the situation as a national tragedy and a sign of collapsing school safety.

In a strongly worded statement marking the celebration of Children’s Day, Obi said his thoughts remain heavy despite the occasion meant to honour Nigerian children.

He lamented that several schoolchildren have spent years in captivity, while their images continue to circulate on social media, reflecting unresolved insecurity.

Rising insecurity in schools and prolonged captivity crisis

Obi condemned the repeated attacks on schools and the inability of authorities to secure the safety of learners, warning that the trend has created fear among parents, teachers, and students nationwide.

He stressed that  education cannot thrive in an environment where children are no longer safe within school premises.

According to him, the prolonged captivity of abducted children represents a national shame and a painful reminder of the country’s security challenges.

He noted that many  families continue to live in anguish, waiting for news of their missing children without closure.Family

He further argued that a country unable to protect its children from criminal groups risks losing global respect and moral credibility.

He described the situation as unacceptable and urged urgent action to restore safety in schools.Education

Obi added that while Children’s Day should be a moment of joy and reflection, it has instead become a reminder of unfinished responsibilities toward protecting the nation’s youngest citizens.

Speaking during a recent podcast interview, the artiste disclosed that between 2020 and 2026, he spent about ₦340 million on weed from a single dealer alone.

Regina Daniels receives luxurious vehicle from man months after marital crisis with Ned Nwoko

 Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has reportedly received a brand-new luxury car gift, sparking widespread reactions online after the unexpected gesture.

According to reports circulating on social media, the light-skinned movie star was gifted a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon by an anonymous man from the East, allegedly a governor, who expressed admiration for her lifestyle and influence.

While presenting the car, the unidentified man was heard praising her and explaining why he decided to upgrade her previous vehicle.

“We appreciate your efforts. We checked the recent car you bought, and we found out that there was no GLE, something exceptional, so we decided to provide something unique for you. You’ve done so well so far,” he reportedly said.

The development comes shortly after Regina reportedly shared gifts and notes from a mystery admirer online.

Recall that in October last year, the actress made headlines after alleging that she was facing domestic violence in her marriage to billionaire politician Ned Nwoko, a situation that eventually led to her moving out.

The latest luxury gift has since sparked conversations across social media, with many Nigerians questioning the identity of the benefactor and the circumstances surrounding the gesture.

Bam Bam breaks down in tears over widespread national insecurity

 Actress Bam Bam has expressed deep concern over the rising levels of insecurity, health-related challenges, and recurring tragedies affecting individuals and families in Nigeria.

In a reflective public statement and video, she described a growing sense of emotional exhaustion within society, pointing to repeated cases of kidnapping, loss of lives, serious illnesses, and widespread fear as issues contributing to collective distress.

She questioned the effectiveness of current systems in addressing these challenges, especially in relation to public safety and healthcare delivery, while emphasizing the need for stronger institutional response and accountability.

In the video she shared, she was seen in tears over the repeated tragedy facing Nigerians.

Her words read …

“What’s the SOLUTION?!!! What’s the solution, people?

We’ve cried. We’ve made flyers. We’ve wailed. We’ve prayed. Yet the pain keeps coming. 💔

Kidnappings. Loss. Cancer. Grief. Fear.

It feels like we’re all just trying to survive one tragedy after another.

And honestly… where is the government in all of this?

How many more people need to go missing?

How many more families need to mourn before safety, healthcare, and human lives are treated like a priority?

Today it’s someone else’s loved one… tomorrow it could be ours.

Please check on your people. Call them. Love them loudly. Be kinder. Be softer with people. You truly never know what someone is carrying.

And cancer… cancer is a bastard.

It has taken two people I deeply care about, and I’m honestly tired of pretending we have time. We don’t always.

Please do regular health checkups.

Please listen to your body.

Please take your health seriously.

Please don’t wait till it’s too late.

We deserve better.

Better security. Better healthcare. Better leadership. Better humanity. ❤️🕊️”

“I became an excellent father but a woeful husband” – Jim Iyke opens up on failed marriage

 Nollywood actor Jim Iyke has opened up about the emotional struggles that led to the end of his marriage, revealing that he lost his spark in life and became overly devoted to fatherhood.

In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, he disclosed that he became fully consumed by fatherhood during a difficult period in his life, admitting that his wife suffered because of the emotional changes he was going through.

“I lost my spark, and my wife suffered for it. And then I became an obsessive dad. I gave everything in me to my son. I was a proper stay-at-home dad,” he said.

Jim Iyke revealed that he eventually became a better father than husband, explaining that the situation affected his relationship after his wife could no longer recognise the man she married.

The veteran actor said he was honest with his wife about his emotional struggles and told her he was unsure how long it would take him to heal and become himself again.

“I became an excellent father but a woeful husband. After a while, she said, ‘I can’t find the man I married anymore.’ I told her, ‘I don’t know what it’d take for me to heal and bring myself back.

If you want to wait for me, I’d appreciate it. And if you can’t, I would understand.’ She said she couldn’t, so we shook hands and parted as friends,” he added.

Many social media users praised the actor for being open about his emotional struggles, while others shared differing opinions on marriage, healing, and balancing family responsibilities.

One user wrote, “At least he was honest about his struggles and emotions. A real man!” Another added, “This is why communication and emotional support are important in marriage.”

My dad is one of the reasons Nigeria has democracy – Kiddwaya

 Reality TV personality Kiddwaya has shared personal reflections about his father’s influence and his family’s alleged role in Nigeria’s political history.

Speaking in an interview, Kiddwaya described Banana Island in Lagos as one of the most expensive and luxurious real estate locations in Africa, adding that he only learned about parts of his father’s involvement in its recognition after a media interview.

He also spoke about his father’s humble nature, noting that he does not publicly boast about his achievements but is open when asked about them.

Kiddwaya further recounted a story he said he recently learned, claiming his father had close ties with military leadership during Nigeria’s period of military rule.

According to him, after the death of former Head of State Sani Abacha, a close associate of his father allegedly assumed leadership and later sought his advice on transitioning the country to civilian rule.

He claimed his father advised that Nigeria should return to democratic governance, allowing citizens to vote for their leaders, a development he believes contributed to the country’s current democratic system.

“Banana Island is the most expensive, luxurious piece of land in Africa. It’s quite small, on the island in Lagos, I never knew he discovered it until he made that statement on BBC. My dad is very like that. He doesn’t blow his own trumpet. When you ask him, he will tell you.

And I have another fascinating story that I just found out. He hasn’t told anybody. I didn’t know that my dad was one of the reasons that Nigeria had a democracy. He was very close with the Army back in the day when we had military rule.

When Sani Abacha died, my dad’s close friend was the second in command, so his friend became president. So he came to the house, I wasn’t born then, he came to the house and said look, Terry, I’m president now, I don’t really know what to do, what should we do. And he said, give it to democracy. Like make it a democracy so the people can vote.

When he told me that, I was like, dad you should tell people this. He is one of the reasons Nigeria has a democracy…” he said.

“My dad is not only the first person to discover Banana Island

He is also the one responsible for Nigeria 🇳🇬 gaining democracy 😳because he told the Prime Minister at that time to give Nigeria democracy”

“Tinubu is pampering me” — Cubana Chief Priest opens up on political support, governorship ambition

 Popular Nigerian socialite and businessman Pascal Okechukwu, better known as Cubana Chief Priest, has stirred reactions online after revealing the level of support and attention he currently enjoys from political associates and influential figures across the country.

Speaking during a trending interview, the celebrity barman said several politicians have continued to stand by him despite criticisms and controversies surrounding his growing involvement in politics.

According to him, some party leaders openly “pamper” him because of his loyalty, influence among young Nigerians, and ability to connect with people.

“They bought me a brand new lexus”

Cubana Chief Priest disclosed that one of his political associates recently reminded him of the expensive gifts and support he had received over time.

“Man of the parties is pampering me. They are like, oh, CP, he accommodates you, so it’s working in my favor. One of my chairmen called me today and said, ‘CP, are you okay?’ I told him I’m trying. He said no worry. He reminded me that he bought a brand new Lexus LX 700h for me. He said, ‘You’re my honorable for life,’” he said.

The nightlife entrepreneur added that despite the support he receives, there are still doubts about his political loyalty in some quarters.

“Maybe God wants me to be Governor”

According to him, critics trolling him online cannot discourage his ambitions or confidence.

“I’ll never give up even if I lose again. All these people wey dey troll me for IG and Twitter, I checked their pages and none of them get G-Wagon. How will I be sad over what poor men are saying? Maybe God wants me to be the Governor,” he stated.

Cubana Chief Priest also claimed that some persons close to President Bola Tinubu allegedly still do not fully trust him because he is Igbo and once worked for Peter Obi during the 2023 election season.

“How can you send a child to prison for two years over few Twitter lines?” — Sowore blasts Adekunle Gold

 

Human rights activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has criticised singer Adekunle Gold over the reported imprisonment of a social media user accused of making false claims online about the musician and his family.

Speaking during an interview that has gone viral on social media, Sowore questioned why Adekunle Gold and his wife, singer Simi, pursued legal action that resulted in a young man spending over two years in prison over comments made on X, formerly Twitter.

“That’s not how to handle false stories”

Sowore argued that public figures should learn to ignore false rumours rather than using law enforcement to punish critics or online commentators.

“How dare Adekunle Gold, after getting some little money and fame, send somebody to jail for two years for writing something we all know is not true? Yesterday people were calling me that my wife and children had died in the US. I simply called them to confirm they were alive and moved on,” he said.

The activist also referenced past incidents involving public figures, including former US President Donald Trump’s family and a Kaduna-based religious leader declared dead during the COVID-19 period.

“Nigerians love oppression too much”

According to Sowore, the situation reflects a growing culture of oppression among influential Nigerians.

“How can you sit down with police and prosecutors to jail someone for two and a half years because of three lines on Twitter? Nigerians complain about oppression until they get small power, then they become worse,” he added.

The controversy comes amid increasing debates in Nigeria over cybercrime laws, online speech, and the arrest of social media users for controversial posts.

US and Nigerian forces kill top ISIS commander, Trump reveals

 

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that American and Nigerian forces allegedly carried out a joint operation targeting a senior ISIS leader in Africa.

In a statement shared online, Trump claimed that the operation successfully eliminated Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, whom he described as the second-in-command of ISIS globally and one of the group’s most active terrorists.

According to the former president, the mission was conducted in partnership with the Nigerian Armed Forces and was based on intelligence gathered about the suspect’s activities in Africa.

Trump stated that the operation would significantly weaken ISIS’s global network and reduce threats against both Africans and Americans.

He also thanked the Nigerian government for its cooperation in the operation and praised the military forces involved.

His words …

“Tonight, at my direction, brave American forces and the Armed Forces of Nigeria flawlessly executed a meticulously planned and very complex mission to eliminate the most active terrorist in the world from the battlefield. Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, second in command of ISIS globally, thought he could hide in Africa, but little did he know we had sources who kept us informed on what he was doing. He will no longer terrorize the people of Africa, or help plan operations to target Americans. With his removal, ISIS’s global operation is greatly diminished. Thank you to the Government of Nigeria for your partnership on this operation. GOD BLESS AMERICA! President DONALD J. TRUMP……”

Iheanacho helps Celtic win 5th consecutive Scottish Premiership title

 Kelechi Iheanacho was part of the Celtic side that staged a late comeback to defeat Hearts and secure the Scottish Premiership title in dramatic fashion.

The victory confirmed Celtic’s fifth consecutive league title after overturning a deficit in a final-day contest that had kept supporters on edge until the closing minutes.

Hearts, who had led the table for much of the season, needed at least a draw to claim a first league crown since 1960 but collapsed late on as Celtic produced a decisive late surge.

Late turnaround seals title

Hearts opened the scoring through Lawrence Shankland after a first-half corner, placing them within touching distance of a historic triumph.

Celtic responded deep into first-half stoppage time when Arne Engels converted from the penalty spot after a handball incident in the box.

The decisive breakthrough came late in the match when Daizen Maeda restored Celtic’s lead in the 87th minute following a VAR intervention that overturned an earlier offside decision.

Callum Osmand then added a stoppage-time third as Hearts committed players forward in search of an equaliser, sealing the result and the title for Celtic.

Iheanacho involvement in decisive moment

Iheanacho, who came off the bench, played a key role in maintaining Celtic’s attacking pressure during the closing stages and was unlucky not to score after striking the post.

His introduction added pace and directness as Celtic pushed for a winner, with the team eventually capitalising on Hearts’ late defensive collapse.

Celtic extend domestic dominance

The result sees Celtic move ahead of Rangers in total league titles, reaching 56 championships in Scottish football history.

Interim manager Martin O’Neill guided the side through the decisive run-in, securing another league success in what could be his final spell in charge.

For Hearts, the defeat ends a strong campaign in disappointment after they spent most of the season at the top of the table before faltering at the final hurdle.

Manchester City edge Chelsea to lift FA Cup at Wembley

 

Manchester City defeated Chelsea to win the FA Cup after Antoine Semenyo scored the decisive goal in a tense final at Wembley Stadium.

The match appeared destined for extra time before Semenyo produced a moment of quality in the closing stages to hand City another major trophy under Pep Guardiola.

Semenyo strike decides final

After a cagey contest with few clear opportunities, City finally broke through with 16 minutes remaining.

Erling Haaland delivered a cross into the penalty area and Semenyo met it first time with a clever right-foot finish that beat Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sánchez.

The goal proved enough to settle the final and complete another successful domestic campaign for City.

Haaland endured a frustrating afternoon in front of goal but played a key role in the winning moment after working tirelessly throughout the match.

City add another trophy

The victory means Manchester City have now completed a domestic cup double after previously winning the Carabao Cup earlier in the season.

It also ended a run of consecutive FA Cup final defeats following losses to Manchester United and Crystal Palace in recent years.

Guardiola’s side remain in contention for further silverware as they continue battling in the Premier League title race.

Chelsea’s Wembley struggles continue

For Chelsea, the defeat extended a painful record at Wembley after losing a fourth straight FA Cup final.

The London side struggled to create sustained attacking pressure and ultimately finished the season without a trophy despite reaching another major final.

Interim manager Calum McFarlane now faces fresh uncertainty over the club’s direction ahead of the summer, with Chelsea still searching for a permanent manager for next season.

Isaac Fayose mourns as he loses wife

 Businessman and social commentator Isaac Fayose, younger brother of former governor Ayo Fayose, has announced the death of his wife.

Fayose disclosed the sad news in an Instagram post on Saturday, sharing a candlelight image alongside a brief tribute to his late wife.

He wrote …

“Rest In Peace, My darling wife.”

In another emotional post, he also shared photos of her while bidding her farewell.

The announcement comes months after Fayose revealed that his wife had been battling cancer.

During a visit to his  family in Australia earlier this year, he emotionally recounted how her health had deteriorated, explaining that she was too weak to carry out normal activities and that he had to care for her personally.

“My wife is not feeling well. When I got here, she was very weak. The same woman who usually picks me up at the airport couldn’t come, so I had to take an Uber.

“She used to cook for me, but now I find myself cooking for her. She couldn’t cook or talk. I sat beside her and sang her favourite song; she held my hand as I sang,” Fayose said in tears.

The news of her passing has elicited condolences from fans, colleagues, and celebrities, including actress Yvonne Jegede, comedian Ali Baba, and veteran musician Daddy Showkey, among others.

Johnson Suleman criticizes leadership, urges Nigerians to prioritize performance

 General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has questioned the state of leadership in Nigeria following the recent Palm Sunday attack in Jos.

The televangelist, speaking on the current state of insecurity in the nation, said that leadership in the country has failed in its primary responsibility to protect citizens, instead focusing on pre-election campaigns and second-term ambitions.

“Leadership that prioritizes politics over protection of lives. Choosing rather to waste our collective patrimony in pre-election jamboree and pre-coronation plans. Posterity will judge a leadership that now emboldens, enables, and replicates what it once vehemently condemned,” Mr Suleman said on Monday via a post on X handle titled “Jos attack is another evidence of failed leadership.

Mr Suleman added that it’s time for the nation’s leaders to take full responsibility, stressing that prayers are important but cannot replace accountability.

“I believe in the power of prayers, but prayers won’t replace responsibility. We need humane leaders; these current folks have zero affiliation with empathy. We are tired. It’s depressingly exhausting.”

The cleric expressed his grief with the families affected by the attacks, offering prayers for strength in their losses.

He criticised supporters of failed leaders in the country who stand up to defend nonsense and should at least sound smart while doing so.

“We stand with the families who lost loved ones and pray for fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.”

“And for those who will engage this tweet to support failed leadership for the crumbs they offer you, please show your irritation via good grammar.

So even if I am irritated by your intentional delusion, I would be encouraged by your mastery of words. AJS.”

The Gari Ya Waye community in Angwan Rukuba, Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State, came under violent attack on Palm Sunday, as unknown gunmen killed men and women in the community, leaving others injured.

The state government has imposed a 48-hour curfew following the deadly incident, which took effect from March 29 to April 1, 2026, but it was violated as residents came out in large numbers to protest the resurgence of insecurity in the state, demanding justice and proper leadership.
