Wale busari02 mins

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has once again stepped in to address the lingering political disagreement between Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, and his predecessor, the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike. According to The Nation, the President convened a late-night meeting on Sunday, February 8, with Wike and Fubara, alongside other key political stakeholders from Rivers State, in a renewed effort to broker peace and stabilize the state’s political landscape. While official details of the meeting have not been made public, the report disclosed that Governor Fubara reportedly accompanied Wike to his residence in Guzape, Abuja, after the talks. Sources further claimed that Fubara allegedly appealed to the former governor, pledging never to show him disrespect again—an indication of a possible reconciliation between the two influential political figures. The presidential intervention comes amid heightened political tension in Rivers State, following a fresh impeachment attempt against Governor Fubara by members of the State House of Assembly believed to be loyal to Wike. Observers say the latest move by President Tinubu underscores his administration’s resolve to prevent political instability and ensure continuity of governance in the oil-rich state.

Ex-Tottenham midfielder, Dele Alli loses nearly £150,000 in late-night London poker betting

Ex-Tottenham Midfielder, Dele Alli Loses Nearly £150,000 in London poker Betting

Wale busari03 mins

Former England and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli has reportedly endured a significant financial setback off the pitch after losing close to £150,000 in a series of late-night poker games at a central London casino. The 29-year-old, once regarded as one of England’s brightest football talents, is said to have been a regular presence at The Victoria Casino in London, where he reportedly took part in high-stakes poker sessions during the early hours of the morning. Reports suggest Alli lost around £25,000 per night, with cumulative losses running into six figures over a short period. A poker veteran who spoke to Daily Mail Sport claimed Alli has earned the nickname “whale” among casino regulars—a term used to describe players perceived as inexperienced but willing to wager and lose large sums of money. “We all look forward to Dele coming to the casino because snaring a whale is a serious player’s dream scenario,” the source said. According to the source, Alli’s arrival often sparks a rush among seasoned players to join his table. “As soon as he arrives, a message goes out that ‘The Dele is open for business,’ and there’s a rush to join his table. He’s been turning up almost every other day over the past two weeks, often playing for several hours and typically losing £25,000 each time.” Another poker player described the situation as troubling, suggesting the footballer appeared withdrawn and unhappy during the sessions. “It’s actually quite sad because he doesn’t really speak to anyone and doesn’t appear happy. He clearly isn’t short of money and doesn’t seem bothered by losing such amounts, which is great for us. Poker is a tough game—there’s no room for emotion. It’s all about strategy and winning as much as you can.” Despite the reported losses, Dele Alli is believed to have an estimated net worth of around £20 million.

I will find more ways to defeat insecurity -Tinubu assures Nigerians

Wale busari03 mins

President Bola Tinubu has reiterated his administration’s determination to find lasting solutions to terrorism and banditry in the country, assuring Nigerians that the government remains resolute in tackling the security challenges. The President made this known on Monday while delivering his opening remarks at the ongoing National Executive Council (NEC) Conference on Inclusive Growth and Sustainable National Development in Abuja. Tinubu commended several state governors, particularly those of Borno, Katsina, and Kaduna States, for their efforts in safeguarding lives, property, and the nation’s freedom amid persistent security threats. According to the President, insecurity poses a major economic burden on the country, stressing that decisive action is required to address the challenge. “I am leaving here again to further find means to strengthen our security forces to defeat terrorism and banditry, that I promise you. It is an economic encumbrance if we do not find a solution to it,” he said. He added that the fight against terrorism and banditry remains a top priority for his administration. “It is what has kept all of us sleepless at night, but I assure you that we will win with determination and resiliency. We will overcome this unacceptable terrorism and banditry; it’s not part of our culture, it’s foreign to us,” Tinubu stated. On the economy, the President said his government is intensifying efforts to strengthen macroeconomic stability, noting that improved revenue generation and effective public financial management are key focus areas. He further disclosed that the administration has prioritised infrastructure development across critical sectors such as transportation, power, digital connectivity, housing, and irrigation, describing them as catalysts for inclusive growth and sustainable national development

Peter Obi Joins Protest at National Assembly Over Rejection of E-Transmission of Election Results

Wale busari02 mins

A prominent figure of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Peter Obi, has joined ongoing protests at the National Assembly in Abuja following the Senate’s rejection of the provision for mandatory electronic transmission of election results. Protesters on Monday morning converged on the National Assembly complex under the banner “Occupy National Assembly”, expressing strong opposition to the Senate’s stance on the contentious clause of the Electoral Act Amendment Bill. Addressing demonstrators at the protest ground, Obi criticised the Senate’s decision, urging lawmakers to allow the electoral process to run its full and natural course without unnecessary interference. “Allow the election to go through the normal process. Whatever the outcome is, we will accept it,” Obi said. “Why introduce confusion after the process?” The protest drew Nigerian youths and pro-democracy activists, who insist that electronic transmission of results is crucial to ensuring transparency, credibility, and public trust in Nigeria’s electoral system. A heavy security presence was observed around the National Assembly, with personnel from the Nigeria Police Force, Nigerian Army, and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) deployed to maintain order. Despite the security build-up, the protest remained peaceful as of the time of filing this report, with demonstrators calling on lawmakers to reconsider their position and reinstate the e-transmission provision in the amended Electoral Act.

Wale busari02 mins

Nigerian youths have begun converging in Abuja for the “Occupy National Assembly” protest, staged in opposition to the Senate’s rejection of electronic transmission of election results. TRENDBROI reports that the protest has attracted a heavy security presence, with personnel deployed from the Nigeria Police Force, Nigerian Army, and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) to monitor the situation.

Nigeria Needs Selfless Leaders Ready to Make Ultimate Sacrifice – Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde

Wale busari03 mins

Veteran Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has said Nigeria is in dire need of leaders who are willing to go the extra mile—even to the point of making ultimate sacrifices—for the good of the country. The actress made the remarks on Sunday during an interview on Channels Television, where she spoke on Nigeria’s political future ahead of the 2027 general elections. Omotola lamented the country’s continued struggles despite its enormous human and natural resources, describing the situation as deeply unfortunate. “It’s unfortunate that we’re still where we are now. We have everything that every other nation wants and is clamouring for,” she said. According to her, true national liberation would only be possible if leaders were courageous and selfless enough to take tough decisions, regardless of personal cost. “I wish that our leaders can be bold enough to take some decisions to liberate this country even if it means dying for Nigeria,” she stated. She emphasized that no nation is immune from chaos, noting that law, order and enforcement are what keep societies stable. “Every nation can become very bad or terrible. Even America can be the most lawless country if there were no laws or enforcement,” Omotola said. She added that effective leadership begins with strong institutions and the will to enforce laws, stressing that Nigeria needs leaders who genuinely place the country above personal interest. “So my prayer for Nigeria is that we actually get and find leaders who are selfless and ready to die for this country,” she said. The actress also criticised political rhetoric often used by aspirants, suggesting that many professed displays of patriotism are insincere. “We saw the people coming to say ‘I love Nigeria. I was poor. I did not have one shoe.’ All are lies. They don’t care,” she added.

Omotola Reveals Children Received Death Threats During EndSARS Protests

Actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde Reveals Her Children Received Death Threats During EndSARS Protests

Wale busari03 mins

Veteran Nollywood actress and social activist Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has opened up on the frightening experiences her family endured during the EndSARS protests, revealing that her children were targeted with death threats. Speaking on Channels Television’s Rubbin’ Minds on Sunday, the 48-year-old actress said the threats marked a major turning point in her years-long advocacy, forcing her to reassess how she engages in activism. Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde disclosed that while she had grown accustomed to receiving threats due to her outspoken nature, the EndSARS period was different and far more intense. “I am used to death threats; I have received them many times. But I have never seen anything like what happened during EndSARS,” she said. According to her, the situation escalated when her children also began receiving threats, making the danger deeply personal. “That was when it became real, and when I realised this was no longer just about me,” she explained. The actress further revealed that unknown individuals began visiting her home and workplace in search of her, prompting her to prioritize the safety of her family. “When people started coming to my home and workplace looking for me, I knew it was time to think beyond myself. I had to protect others, especially my children,” she added. Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde said the experience ultimately led her to move away from street protests in favour of more strategic and focused advocacy, noting that protecting her children has become increasingly challenging as they grow older. “I can’t control where they go. I can’t protect them as much. I don’t care for my life, but I do care for them,” she said.
