Wale busari03 mins

Nigerian photographer and biker Orowole Kolapoz, popularly known as Kola Onifoto, has died after being involved in a lone motorcycle accident in Lagos. The 32-year-old creative, admired for his passion for travel and vibrant presence as a brand influencer, was said to have crashed on Sunday while embarking on what he described as his first solo biking trip outside Lagos. He had announced plans to travel to Akure, expressing excitement about joining the league of experienced riders who have explored different parts of Nigeria and beyond. In a post shared hours before the accident, he celebrated seasoned bikers with the words: “Big shout out to those who have ridden their bikes to every state in this country, to Africa, and across the world, especially women. My eye see wheeen,” he wrote. Following the crash, he was reportedly rushed to a Federal Road Safety Corps emergency facility in Ojota. He was later moved to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, where friends and supporters held onto hope as prayers poured in for his recovery. However, he succumbed to his injuries in the early hours of Monday, March 2. News of his passing has since sparked an emotional response across social media, with many describing him as bold, inspiring and deeply committed to both photography and biking. The exact circumstances that led to the accident remain unclear. Just weeks earlier, in January, Kolapoz had celebrated fulfilling a long-time dream of fully embracing the biking lifestyle, sharing photos of himself and his motorcycle. Attempts to reach the Lagos Sector Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps for official confirmation were unsuccessful, as calls and a text message sent to its spokesperson were not returned as of the time of this report.

Iran’s World Cup Participation Doubtful

Fola Badmus02 mins

The president of Iran’s soccer federation has said he does not know if the national team can play World Cup matches in the United States following the surprise U.S. and Israeli bombardment of his country. “What is certain is that after this attack, we cannot be expected to look forward to the World Cup with hope,” Mehdi Taj told sports portal Varzesh3 as Iran traded strikes with Israel as part of a widening war prompted by the bombardment. The U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran continued for a second day on Sunday after the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei threw the future of the Islamic Republic into uncertainty and raised the risk of regional instability. Iran has been drawn in Group G at the World Cup and is scheduled to play in Inglewood, California, against New Zealand on June 15 and Belgium on June 21 before finishing the first round against Egypt in Seattle on June 26. The U.S. is hosting the tournament with Canada and Mexico from June 11 to July 19. Fans from Iran were already banned from entering the U.S. in the first iteration of the travel ban announced by the Trump administration. FIFA did not immediately reply to an email from The Associated Press over the current situation regarding Iran’s participation in the World Cup.

Dangote Refinery Raises Petrol Price To N875 Per Litre As Global Oil Prices Surge

Wale busari02 mins

Dangote Petroleum Refinery has increased the ex-depot price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) by N101, raising it from N774 to N875 per litre, fueling concerns of fresh fuel price surges across Nigeria. A senior official at the refinery confirmed the adjustment, attributing it to recent fluctuations in global crude oil prices. “Yes, the price has been reviewed. The new gantry price is now N875 per litre from N774. The review became necessary due to changes in global crude fundamentals and replacement costs,” the official said. Industry monitoring site petroleumprice.ng has already reflected the revised rate, signaling a shift in downstream pricing benchmarks. The increase follows the refinery’s suspension of petrol loading operations starting midnight on March 2, 2026, after international crude prices jumped past $80 per barrel. Reports indicate that PMS loading and the issuance of Proforma Invoices were temporarily halted, while diesel (Automotive Gas Oil) continued to be loaded. The move prompted several private depot operators nationwide to suspend petrol sales for the day. “Several depot owners suspended PMS sales because of the crude rally. The market is already factoring in risk premiums. Nobody wants to sell below replacement cost,” a downstream operator noted. The spike in global crude prices is linked to heightened tensions between the United States and Iran, raising fears of potential supply disruptions, particularly in the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

Sophia Momodu Files N1 Billion Lawsuit Against Davido Over Harassment And Defamation

Wale busari03 mins

Sophia Momodu’s lawyers have filed a N1 billion lawsuit against Davido, accusing the music star of harassment, threats, cyberbullying, and defamation following a heated exchange in court. The legal action stems from the February 12, 2026 hearing of the custody suit between Davido and Momodu at the High Court of Lagos. According to the pre-action notice, Davido allegedly became verbally abusive and aggressive toward Momodu, who appeared as counsel for the respondent. The court reportedly instructed him to apologise publicly, a directive he is said to have ignored. The notice further claims that in the days following the hearing, Davido’s affiliates shared Momodu’s photograph and identity on social media, exposing her to a flood of abusive messages and threats. Davido is also accused of posting defamatory statements on his verified Instagram and X accounts, directly tagging Momodu and making false claims about her professional conduct, which allegedly encouraged his followers to target her. Momodu’s legal team also stated that Davido publicly attacked people he mistakenly believed were her relatives, including gospel singer Tosin Bee, exposing innocent individuals to threats and ridicule. The lawyers said these actions have caused serious emotional distress, reputational damage, and well-founded fears for her safety and that of her family. To prevent formal court proceedings, the pre-action notice demands that Davido immediately stop all commentary about the case, issue a public retraction and apology on all verified platforms, direct his associates and followers to cease harassment, and pay N1 billion in compensation. If these demands are not met within seven days, Momodu intends to proceed with litigation at the High Court of Lagos.

Wale busari02 mins

Veteran Nollywood actress Joke Silva has shared insights into the benefits of marrying an older man, reflecting on her long-lasting marriage to iconic actor Olu Jacobs. Speaking on TVC’s Your View, Silva, 64, revisited her romance with Jacobs, which began in 1985 despite a 20-year age difference. She admitted that while Jacobs fell in love with her at first sight, her feelings developed more gradually. “Yes, we met on stage, and when we met on a movie set, everybody knew it was the great Olu Jacobs who was coming, except me. When he came, we got on very well, and it was after we started dating that I discovered his age because he looked so good. For him, it was love at first sight, but for me, it wasn’t. These older men allow you to get away with a lot of things,” she said. Jacobs was 44 when he married the then 24-year-old Silva. Almost 40 years later, the couple remains happily married with two children, making their relationship one of Nollywood’s most admired and enduring love stories.
