Wale busari02 mins

Controversial singer Portable was recently involved in a tense confrontation with online streamer Carter Efe and an associate known as Kolu at his Odogwu Bar. The drama began when Carter Efe and his team arrived at the bar, but Portable stopped them from entering, insisting they had not informed him before coming. The situation quickly became heated as the singer accused Carter Efe of taking one of his artistes. During the argument, Portable repeatedly demanded that the streamer “press money” for him. Tension rose further after Carter Efe arrived at the venue accompanied by soldiers for protection, a move that appeared to provoke Portable even more. The confrontation soon turned chaotic as Portable attempted to lunge at Carter Efe and members of his entourage before police officers stepped in to prevent the situation from getting out of control. Portable also alleged during the commotion that the soldiers accompanying Carter Efe were firing shots within his environment. pic.twitter.com/Q9HQartxWU — Winner 🥇 (@expendableboss) March 5, 2026

The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been thrown into grief following the sudden death of its Assistant Publicity Secretary, Karamo Yesiro.

Pastor Chris Okafor Withdraws Apology To Doris Ogala Amid Ongoing N1bn Lawsuit

Wale busari02 mins

Fresh controversy has erupted between clergyman Chris Okafor and Nollywood actress Doris Ogala after the pastor publicly renounced the apology he once made to her during a church service. The cleric had earlier sparked reactions in December 2025 when he knelt during a sermon and apologized to the actress amid the dispute surrounding their relationship. However, speaking to his congregation recently, Okafor clarified that he does not accept responsibility for the accusations levelled against him. He explained that the apology delivered at the time was not because he was guilty but was done to honour spiritual leaders who supported him throughout the controversy. “I withdraw that, there was no single apology because I cannot apologize for what I don’t know”. The disagreement between both parties began after Ogala accused the pastor of failing to fulfil a promise to marry her. She also alleged that he shared explicit materials and caused her emotional pain. Following the claims, the actress filed a lawsuit against the cleric, demanding N1 billion in compensation for an alleged breach of promise to marry. In the court filing, Ogala maintained that Okafor had assured her he would marry her, introducing her to members of his family and including her in family gatherings before eventually tying the knot with another woman, Pearl Okafor. She also accused the pastor of circulating her private photographs without permission and claimed he used 45 million naira she entrusted to him without her approval.

Arsenal Edge Brighton 1-0 As Saka Strike Sends Gunners Seven Points Clear

Wale busari02 mins

Arsenal battled through a tense and chaotic night at the Amex Stadium to edge past Brighton & Hove Albion and move seven points clear at the top of the Premier League table. Despite being second best for large spells, Mikel Arteta’s side made their early opportunity count. Bukayo Saka broke the deadlock in the ninth minute when his low effort took a decisive deflection off Carlos Baleba, wrong-footing goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen as the ball slipped through his legs. The visitors had earlier escaped a nightmare start. Goalkeeper David Raya gifted possession to Baleba inside the opening seconds, but the Brighton midfielder failed to capitalise, producing a weak chip that allowed Gabriel to scramble back and clear off the line. Brighton dominated large parts of the contest and piled pressure on Arsenal’s defence. Their frustration grew just before the hour mark when Raya saved from Georginio Rutter and remained on the turf receiving treatment, sparking anger among the home supporters who felt the visitors were deliberately slowing the game down. The Seagulls came closest to an equaliser when Mats Wieffer found himself unmarked from close range, only to head straight at Raya. That miss proved costly. As the game wore on, Brighton’s intensity dipped, allowing Arsenal to grind out a hard-fought and scrappy victory. The result was made even sweeter for the Gunners after Manchester City were held to a 2-2 draw at home by Nottingham Forest, giving Arsenal breathing space in the title race.

Spain Denies White House Claims of Military Cooperation, Rejects Trump Threats Over Iran Conflict

Wale busari03 mins

Spain has strongly denied claims from the White House that it agreed to cooperate with the United States military, calling the statement “categorically false” amid rising tensions over the ongoing conflict in Iran. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that Spain had reportedly relented after President Donald Trump threatened to cut off all trade with the country. “I think they heard the president’s message loud and clear. Over the past several hours, they’ve agreed to cooperate with the US military, and our forces are coordinating with their counterparts in Spain,” she said. Spain’s Foreign Minister, José Manuel Albares, immediately rejected the claim. “The spokeswoman may speak for the White House, but I am the foreign minister of Spain. I categorically deny it,” he said, emphasising that Madrid’s position on the use of its bases, the Middle East war, and the recent bombings in Iran has “not changed one bit.” Albares added, “I have no desire or time to speculate. Our position remains absolutely unchanged.” The Prime Minister’s Office at Moncloa Palace also labelled the White House statement as false, with sources from both the office and Spain’s Defence Ministry ruling out any cooperation with Washington. The dispute erupted after Trump criticised Spain for refusing to allow US forces to use jointly operated naval and air bases in southern Spain for attacks on Iran. Speaking to German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Trump said, “Spain has been terrible. We’re going to cut off all trade with Spain. We don’t want anything to do with Spain.” Trump also condemned Madrid for declining to meet NATO’s proposed defence spending target of 5% of GDP, saying, “Everybody was enthusiastic about it – Germany, everybody – and Spain didn’t do it.” The standoff highlights escalating tensions between the two NATO allies over military cooperation and defence commitments in the Middle East.

Oluwo of Iwo Tells Donald Trump to Apologise to Iran, Criticises US Support for Israel

Wale busari02 mins

The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, has urged United States President Donald Trump to apologise to Iran for America’s support of Israel in the ongoing Middle East conflict. In a statement shared with journalists in Osogbo on Wednesday, the monarch criticised Trump for taking sides instead of acting as a neutral mediator, describing the US approach as reckless and damaging to global peace. Oba Akanbi described the conflict between Iran and the US/Israel as unnecessary and condemned the reported assassination of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, calling it provocative and “a sin against humanity.” He said the bombing of Iranian students reflected “cowardice” and highlighted Iran’s resolve, noting that not all nations can be intimidated. “America has lost some of its global influence. A true world power doesn’t take sides when two parties are at war. US involvement without calling for a ceasefire was needless and avoidable, and I doubt it will end well for America,” he said. The traditional ruler called on Trump to rethink his leadership approach, stressing that diplomacy and respect for all nations are essential to preserving international stability and peace.

Juliana Olayode Condemns Viral “Holy Spirit Carry Me” Trend, Urges Christians To Show Reverence

Wale busari04 mins

Juliana Olayode has openly expressed her displeasure over the trending “Holy Spirit, carry me” cruise making waves across social media. The Nollywood star took to Instagram to address what she considers a worrying shift from reverence to ridicule, calling out fellow celebrities and online users who have turned the prayerful phrase into humorous captions. While she acknowledged that calling on the Holy Spirit remains a powerful declaration of faith and a spiritually uplifting expression, she said she finds it uncomfortable seeing it twisted into jokes, particularly those referencing body size and physical features. According to her, sacred expressions should not be reduced to punchlines for engagement or online trends. She wrote: “It’s absolutely okay for us to ask the Holy Spirit to carry us; that’s a powerful prayer and a beautiful song. What I don’t quite understand are some of the captions that are turning it into a cruise. Seeing captions like Holyspirit no carry me because of my big nyash, because I get weight, because he no like small things, makes me cringe. Do we know who we’re talking about here? The Holyspirit?! Please, let’s be careful. Let’s not reduce something sacred to a joke. Please, let’s honour and revere the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is not for trends or a punchline for attention. Let’s honour Him. I know we like to joke and catch cruise online, and sometimes it’s really just vibes. But I’ve been feeling a bit uncomfortable, we Christians take too many things with levity, people of other religions wouldn’t dare mention the name of their prophet or god without honour. We throw the name of JESUS around with no regard for the Holy Spirit? No, please, it’s a NO!!!!! NO!!!!!! Everything can’t always be fun and games, not when it concerns Someone so precious, not when it concerns THE HOLYSPIRIT. For me personally, we can make jokes, do fun things, and be joyful without being careless. Just sharing my heart” Her statement has generated mixed reactions online. While many agreed that matters of faith deserve deep respect, others argued that humor and spirituality can exist side by side without diminishing belief. One thing is clear: Juliana Olayode is standing firm in her conviction that sacred things should never be sacrificed for social media trends.

Bola Tinubu Orders Immediate Suspension Of Airport Cashless Payment System

Wale busari04 mins

President Bola Tinubu has ordered the immediate suspension of the recently introduced cashless payment system at airports across Nigeria following complaints of severe congestion and passenger hardship. The directive came barely a week after the system was rolled out, with reports that the new policy had caused long queues and delays at airport gates, leading to many travellers missing their flights. Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, disclosed the development while briefing State House correspondents after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting held at the Presidential Villa in Abuja and chaired by President Tinubu. According to Keyamo, the cashless system was initially introduced to curb corruption and improve revenue collection for the Federal Government, replacing a payment process that had existed for more than five decades. However, its implementation created significant operational challenges. “We introduced our toolkits across the country in order to eliminate corruption and optimize revenue for the federal government. You recall that this practice has gone on for more than 50 years. “With the introduction of the cashless system less than two weeks ago, it has created a lot of gridlock across the country. Mr. President was very concerned about the welfare of Nigerians and the fact that most Nigerians were losing or missing their flights. “And so Mr. President, out of empathy, directed today that we should suspend the present system because it creates a lot of gridlock and Nigerians are suffering as a result of it.” The minister said the president instructed the ministry to temporarily return to the previous payment arrangement while a more effective electronic system is developed. “He directed me to go back to the drawing board. We should revert to the status quo, suspend the present system whereby people have to pay through the various means we introduced at the gates across the country, and then perfect the system properly. “In fact, the President directed me that this should not take too long and that I should get back to him on this issue. “We should go back and, if possible, even engage the private sector to ensure that we establish an electronic system by which we can collect this money at the gates to the extent that it will not create the gridlock we are having right now. “So I am hereby directing, also based on the directive of the President, to suspend the present process. We should go back to the drawing board.” The suspension will remain in effect while authorities work on developing a more efficient and seamless payment system for airport users nationwide.
