Vice President Shettima Represents Tinubu at 2026 Armed Forces Celebration and Remembrance Day

Wale busari02 mins

Vice President Kashim Shettima represented President Bola Tinubu at the 2026 Armed Forces Celebration and Remembrance Day (AFCRD) ceremony held at the Cenotaph of the Unknown Soldier, Eagle Square, Abuja. President Tinubu is in the United Arab Emirates attending the 2026 Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW). The AFCRD, organised annually by the Ministry of Defence, honours Nigerian military personnel who sacrificed their lives in service to the nation. This includes those who died during the First and Second World Wars, the Nigerian Civil War, peacekeeping missions, and internal security operations, particularly in the fight against terrorism. The event also celebrates living veterans and provides an opportunity to rally financial and moral support for their welfare, as well as for the families of fallen service members. While Remembrance Day is observed worldwide, Nigeria’s commemoration has a unique history. Initially marked on November 11 in line with other Commonwealth nations, the date was later moved to January 15 to mark the end of the Nigerian Civil War and reflect the country’s own historical journey. The 2026 ceremony comes at a time of notable security gains by the Armed Forces in the North-East and other regions. It recognises the courage, professionalism, and sacrifices of officers and soldiers working to maintain peace and security for Nigerians. The Federal Government reiterated its appreciation for these gallant personnel and called on citizens, organisations, and the private sector to continue supporting service members, especially wounded soldiers and families of fallen heroes.

BBNaija Star Vee Opens Up About Marriage Pressure As She Approaches 30

Wale busari03 mins

BBNaija star Vee has opened up about the constant pressure she faces about marriage as she approaches 30. She revealed that even friends she barely speaks to suddenly reach out just to ask about her love life, completely ignoring her career and personal struggles. “Nobody ever mentally prepared me for the amount of conversations I would have to have as a woman turning 30 this year,” Vee said. She shared a recent encounter with a married friend living abroad: “Hi V, oh my god, I’ve been trying to get a hold of you, it’s been so long…Anyway, I was praying and got something…When are you getting married, husband? Like bro, have you seen the price of groceries? She didn’t even ask me about my work, the thing putting a roof over my head. She only cared if there’s a man in my life.” Vee admitted that while she wants marriage and children in the future, she’s focused on her career and personal growth. “Let’s be honest, the current climate isn’t looking great. I’m focusing on work and what’s next for me. Husband, marriage, children? I think not—for now. I’m not in control of when I’ll meet the right guy, and I’m definitely not settling for the wrong one.” She also recalled a funny moment in London when a friend held her hand, looked at her finger, and said, “Hopefully by the next time I see you, there’ll be a ring on this finger.” Vee laughed and said, “Guys, I’m not in control. I’m not God. Let’s just leave it at that, man.” Vee’s candid reflections highlight the societal pressure women face around marriage and the importance of focusing on one’s own timeline.

Bovi Slams Samuel Chukwueze, Super Eagles Over AFCON Exit, Blames Social Media and Distractions

Wale busari02 mins

Bovi has criticized Super Eagles winger Samuel Chukwueze and the Nigerian national team following their exit from the Africa Cup of Nations. Nigeria was eliminated after losing 4-2 on penalties to Morocco in the semifinals. The comedian singled out the players’ mindset, particularly during the penalty shootout, claiming they lacked focus and full commitment. He also suggested that distractions from social media, fan adulation, and unpaid bonuses negatively affected their performance. Bovi urged players to decline national team call-ups if they are not prepared to give their all, emphasizing that unpaid bonuses should never be an excuse. “Football is the only thing that unites Nigeria. So dear Super Eagles and aspiring Super Eagles, know this: if you are playing for Nigeria, no matter how the NFF treats you, understand that you hold the power to unite the nation,” Bovi said. “I forgive Samuel Chukwueze for missing a penalty. But you need to grasp that the weight of a nation rests on your shoulders. Chasing glory before victory often turns you into the victim. “Don’t join the Super Eagles if you’re not ready to give your everything for the country. If the NFF delays your payment, let it go. Social media has distracted you, and praise has gone to your head. This isn’t just about this tournament—this has been happening before. Fans don’t love you—they love what you do.”   View this post on Instagram

Wale busari03 mins

Nollywood actress Georgina Onuoha has addressed supporters of May Yul‑Edochie, known as May Nation, urging them to reflect the actress’s calm, kind, and dignified nature in their online conduct. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Georgina thanked fans for standing by May through challenges, saying: “First and foremost, thank you sincerely and deeply for standing with my sister, May Yul‑Edochie, through everything. You came together after witnessing the injustice done to her, and even in her silence, you have continued to speak for her, defend her, and fight for her. For that, I am truly grateful.” She praised the genuine supporters who advocate for May’s success, healing, and well-being, describing her as a peace‑loving, family‑centered woman whose core values are love, loyalty, and dignity. However, Georgina cautioned that some individuals have misused the May Nation name to issue threats and cause chaos. She disclosed that someone close to her recently received a threatening message targeting their family, emphasizing: “Let me be very clear: that does not represent May, nor does it represent May Nation.” She reminded fans of May’s true nature: “May is not a violent person. She does not threaten. She does not harass. She does not go after people’s families. She does not engage in cruelty.” Georgina urged supporters to avoid sending harmful messages or retaliating, noting that May chooses restraint and silence in the face of harassment, echoing the Igbo saying: ama ndi aneze – dignity in silence. Closing her message, she encouraged May Nation to continue their support peacefully, writing: “If you love her, mirror her heart. Mirror her kindness. Mirror her restraint. Mirror her grace.” Georgina stressed that the fan community is united by justice and love for May and urged them to protect the integrity of their cause without causing harm to others.

Wale busari03 mins

Social media influencer VeryDarkMan (VDM) has responded to reality TV star Phyna after she recently called him a “very dirty boy” and claimed her friendship with him led actress Iyabo Ojo to dislike her. Phyna had said on social media that her relationship with Iyabo Ojo deteriorated following her interactions with VDM, noting that the actress eventually unfollowed her and distanced herself because of the connection. In his response, VDM posted a detailed message defending himself, insisting his support for Phyna was sincere and came without expecting anything in return. He listed the ways he had assisted her, from promoting her movies and offering advice to listening to her for hours and always being available whenever she needed help. “Girl, when I genuinely loved and supported you in every way I could… there was no time you needed me that I didn’t show up. VDM helped repost your new movie, VDM paid for work, VDM gave advice, VDM listened to your family issues for hours. Ask yourself, what has VDM ever gotten in return? Nothing! It was all pure love and support. When the Dangote matter came, VDM turned up and planned with you. Your greed ended everything. Today, the people pushing you have left, you know why? Your story no longer gives them buzz. I genuinely wish you well,” he wrote. VDM suggested Phyna’s choices had strained her relationships with former supporters but emphasized he bears no ill will and still wishes her success. The exchange has sparked online discussions about loyalty, gratitude, and the sometimes complicated dynamics between influencers and entertainers.

Abdulsamad Rabiu To Honor $500,000 Pledge To Super Eagles Despite AFCON Semi-Final Exit

Wale busari03 mins

Abdulsamad Rabiu has said he will go ahead with the $500,000 incentive promised to the Super Eagles, even though the team did not win the Africa Cup of Nations. The BUA Group chairman made the announcement on Thursday in a post on Instagram, where he praised the Nigerian players for their effort and attitude during the tournament. He said the squad showed courage, commitment and unity, qualities he believes deserve recognition beyond trophies. “You fought with your hearts, gave your all, and showed true courage and determination on the pitch. Though it wasn’t meant to be this time, you have made every Nigerian proud.” Rabiu noted that football results do not always reflect the level of effort put in, stressing that the team’s passion and togetherness stood out throughout the competition. “Sometimes, even our best efforts don’t bring the outcome we hope for, but the spirit, passion and unity you displayed are what truly matter. You left everything on the field, and that is worthy of celebration.” He confirmed that the $500,000 reward earlier pledged before the tournament would still be paid, describing it as appreciation for the hard work, discipline and excitement the team gave Nigerians. The Super Eagles’ campaign ended at the semi-final stage after a tense clash with host nation Morocco. The match finished goalless before Nigeria lost 4–2 on penalties at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium. Rabiu urged the players to remain confident, saying the experience gained from the tournament would serve as a strong foundation for future success.

Wale busari02 mins

Starting January 19, 2026, Nigerians will begin paying a 7.5 percent Value Added Tax (VAT) on selected banking services, including mobile transfers, USSD transactions, and card issuance fees, following a government-mandated directive. Moniepoint informed its customers on Wednesday that the new VAT charges would take effect on certain electronic banking services, in line with instructions from the Nigerian Revenue Service (NRS), formerly the Federal Inland Revenue Service. The notice read: “From Monday, 19 January 2026, we are required to collect a 7.5% VAT, to be remitted to the Nigerian Revenue Service (NRS).” Moniepoint clarified that not all transactions would attract the tax, noting that “interest on deposits and savings” would remain exempt.

Moniepoint is required to collect and remit VAT to the Nigerian Revenue Service. VAT applies only to banking or service fees, not interest,” the notice said. Customers were assured that all VAT deductions would be clearly itemized on transaction reports and statements.
