Turaki-led PDP to Appeal Nullification of Ibadan National Convention

Fola Badmus02 mins

The Tanimu Turaki-led Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has assured members that the party remains legally intact after an Ibadan Federal High Court judgment which nullified its Ibadan National Convention. The party spoke in a statement issued by National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Ini Ememobong, on Friday. The court declined to grant an order of mandamus sought by the party, reasoning that doing so would amount to sitting on appeal over judgments of courts of coordinate jurisdiction.   In response, the party said it has instructed its lawyers to immediately file an appeal and take all necessary legal steps to advance its arguments and protect its position. The Turaki-led PDP leadership, which emerged from the Ibadan National Convention, emphasized that it remains “legally intact and unshaken” as it awaits decisions from appellate courts. Ememobong said, “Not withstanding this judgment, our party remains firmly on course. We urge our members to stay resolute and committed there is absolutely no cause for alarm.” The party reiterated that its Rebirth Movement remains on course.

Wale busari02 mins

Popular Nigerian singer Iyanya has spoken candidly about his ongoing struggle with maintaining celibacy, admitting that his resolve often weakens when he meets attractive women. The Ur Waist crooner made the revelation during a conversation on the Afropolitan podcast, where he described his celibacy journey as inconsistent and challenging. According to him, while he sometimes commits to staying celibate, temptation often derails his efforts, leaving him with mixed feelings afterward.

Fola Badmus03 mins

Wolves has secured the signing of exciting young forward Dapo Anunlopo from League Two side Bromley. The 17-year-old, who will link up with the academy’s under-18 side, arrives at Compton Park as a highly rated attacking player after just six months with the London club. Having grown up in Ireland, Anunlopo joined Bromley from Dundalk and caught the eye of the Wolves recruitment team following impressive performances in both the Premier League Cup and FA Youth Cup, including a goal in the latter against Ipswich Town this month. Head of Academy Recruitment Harry Hooman spoke about the attributes that attracted the club: “Dapo hasn’t been at Bromley long, having moved over from Ireland, but he has really impressed us in the first half of the season and we have been monitoring his progress over the last few months. We really like what we see and believe he has huge potential. “He is a quick, direct and aggressive forward who can operate across the front line. We are always looking at clubs lower down the pyramid for players who are hungry to improve and develop. What stands out with Dapo is his athleticism and versatility, but also his desire to make things happen – we love how he carries the ball. He has really bought into our approach here at Wolves and we’re very excited to be working with him.” Wolves thanked Bromley for their assistance and co-operation during the transfer and wished them the very best for the remainder of the season.

AGN lifts suspension on Nollywood actress Halima Abubakar

AGN Lifts Suspension on Nollywood Actress, Halima Abubakar

Wale busari03 mins

The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has lifted the suspension placed on Nollywood actress Halima Abubakar, restoring her eligibility to participate in guild activities and film projects. Abubakar had been under an indefinite suspension since October 2024 over allegations of defamation involving fellow actors and other notable Nigerians. A two-year investigation carried out by a guild-appointed panel found her culpable, leading to her exclusion from all AGN programmes during that period. The development was announced on Thursday by the outgoing AGN National President, Emeka Rollas, during the inauguration of the guild’s new National Executive Council (NEC) at the AGN national secretariat in Abuja. The ceremony was attended by actors from across the country, filmmakers, and other stakeholders in the entertainment industry. Rollas, whose second and final term ended in December 2025, officially handed over leadership to Abubakar Yakubu. While addressing attendees, he explained the decision to lift Halima Abubakar’s suspension. “There were persons that we have suspended according to the AGN law, and because I’m leaving office, I don’t want to leave them suspended,” he said. He added that although Halima Abubakar had taken the guild to court over the matter, the AGN carried out its investigations and enforced disciplinary measures. However, Rollas noted that continuing the suspension would unfairly affect her livelihood. “Since acting remains her main source of livelihood, it would be wicked for us to leave her like that. Therefore today, by the powers imposed on me by the Board of Trustees and the entire Actors Guild of Nigeria, I hereby lift Halima Abubakar’s suspension,” he stated. Rollas also disclosed that the suspensions placed on Christopher Igboji, Chidi Concord, Dan Ewerem, and Jeff Okwute, members of the AGN Enugu State chapter, had likewise been lifted. Earlier at the event, the Chairman of the Organising Committee for the inauguration, Chuks Chyke, commended Rollas for his leadership, crediting him with promoting stability and inclusiveness within the guild during his tenure.

“Nothing must happen to them” – Harrysong’s ex-wife warns as she gives up custody of children

Wale busari02 mins

Alexer Peres, ex-wife of singer Harrysong, has announced that she is temporarily stepping back from custody of their two young children, aged four and three. In an emotional video shared on her Instagram story on Thursday, Alexer explained that she has been handling parenting responsibilities alone since their separation, with the children visiting their father occasionally. “I didn’t plan to come on here, but I want this to serve as evidence that I’m making the hardest decision of my life. At this point, I have no option,” she said. Alexer accused Harrysong of constant interference and harassment, saying he shows up unannounced, making it difficult for her to care for the children. “This man has not let me rest. He frustrates my efforts and harasses me everywhere,” she added. Alexer further noted that while she will respond to allegations in court, the emotional pressure is currently overwhelming. “I’m giving him custody for now. That doesn’t mean I won’t come back for my children,” Alexer said, expressing concern over the children living with domestic staff in their father’s absence. “No mother wants to live without her children, but I don’t know what else to do. I’ll always come back. I want you in my life,” she said. The couple, who married in 2021, have been open about their marital difficulties. Harrysong had requested privacy during their struggles, while Alexer publicly announced she was “officially done” with the marriage in January 2024.

Anthony Joshua Opens Up on Loss of Friends in Car Crash

Fola Badmus05 mins

Anthony Joshua has opened up on the loss of two close friends as he issued a tearful message to the fans addressing the fatal car crash in Nigeria. The boxing world united to pay tribute to Joshua’s former teammates Sina Ghami and Latif ‘Latz’ Ayodele after both were killed in the crash near Lagos on 29 December. ‘AJ’, the former world heavyweight champion, appeared in agony as he was hauled out of the vehicle but was only left with minor injuries and has since returned to the gym in a bid to revisit his craft. Joshua issued an initial statement paying tribute to Ghami and Ayodele but has now taken to Instagram to speak more vulnerably to his fanbase. “Not only did their parents, their uncles, their cousins their friends, and myself lose two great men. We lost people we dearly care about and have been major players in all of our lives,” Joshua said. “It’s tough, it’s really tough. “I’m not going to sit here and show all of my emotions. I know in today’s day and age, it’s easy to micro-analyse as people and pass judgement but I know what I feel, and that’s what matters to me. “I know what my duty is. They’re my brothers, they’re my friends, first and foremost. And then we became business partners. We became hustlers. We became lieutenants, we became generals. We became everything. We became housemates who were living together.” It was the third post from Joshua since the accident, having first posted a shot of himself alongside family members, with a portrait shot of Ghami, before posting a touching written tribute. As he staved off tears, Joshua added: “It is a shame, it’s a shame. So there’s that side of things. One day my time will come and I’m not scared at all. It’s actually comforting knowing I’ve got two brothers on the other side. “I’ve lost people before but I don’t think I’ve lost people like that. My left and my right. Throughout this like journey that I’ve been on, they’ve been (here), it’s not easy. “I’m the big guy, but I was walking with giants that kept me protected, kept me shielded. But the mission must go on. I understand my duty. I understand what they wanted to do for their families. “So what my goal is, it’s to continue to help them achieve their goals, even though they may not be here in physical. When I pray at night, when I pray in the morning, I know spiritually they’re gonna aid me through because it’s not just physical strength that will get me through, it’s going to take a lot of strength from the higher power. “I’m going to definitely be saying my prayers and I’m gonna help them fulfil their dreams for their families. Not only me, there’s a whole team of us, the the whole brotherhood, the whole sisterhood that will be helping fulfil their legacy and fulfil their dreams.” Joshua also made sure to thank all those who had offered their support and love across social media, saying it was “all acknowledged”.

Alcaraz Outclasses Zverev in Australian Open Semi-final

Fola Badmus06 mins

Carlos Alcaraz fought through a leg issue to deliver a 6-4 7-6 (7-5) 6-7 (3-7) 6-7 (4-7) 7-5 win over Alexander Zverev and reach his first Australian Open final, with the Spaniard somehow managing to keep his career Grand Slam bid alive. The 22-year-old was barely able to move after experiencing a problem midway through the third set, which he lost in a tie-break, and he relied on his sublime ball-striking and placement to land winners and prolong the contest. Alcaraz continued to battle away, seeing off Zverev in the decider and will aim to recover for a meeting with either Novak Djokovic or Jannik Sinner in Sunday’s title clash, where a victory will see him complete his set of majors. After eight straight holds of serve on a sunbathed Rod Laver Arena, Alcaraz was gifted the opening break when Zverev produced a double fault, and the Spaniard won the next game to love and pocketed the opening set. Zverev, who appeared unhappy with the tension in his racket strings at the end of the opening stanza, absorbed more pressure to hold in a 10-minute first game of the next and then built up a 5-2 lead as Alcaraz conceded several loose points. But a backhand bullet helped Alcaraz (above) break back in the ninth game, and the world number one went level in the next, before he dialled up the intensity in the tie-break to double his lead. The six-times major winner then battled to 4-4 in the third set before starting to feel troubled by his right thigh. Switching between big hitting and drop shots, Alcaraz went up 5-4 before taking a medical timeout, leaving a fuming Zverev to remonstrate with the supervisor that his opponent should not be allowed to receive treatment for cramp under the rules, though it was unclear what the leg issue was. Alcaraz soldiered on, holding to go up 6-5 and taking a big swig of pickle juice before giving it his all in the ensuing tie-break, but Zverev showed no mercy and pulled back a set. With his movement slowly improving, Alcaraz pumped his fists to roaring applause after crucial holds in the fourth set to force another tie-break, where Zverev stepped up his serving game to ensure a deciding fifth set. Third seed Zverev broke for an early lead but Alcaraz began to look like his usual self again as he chased down a drop shot at the net and pulled off a stunning winner at full stretch in the sixth game to give his fans hope. Alcaraz finally broke in the 10th game as Rod Laver Arena shook, before sealing an epic win in the first five-set match on centre court this year. On just how he found a way to win, Alcaraz said: “Believing all the time. “I always say that you have to believe in yourself no matter what you’re struggling, no matter anything. I was struggling in the middle of the third set. Physically, it was one of the most demanding matches that I have ever played in my short career. “But I’ve been in these kind of situations, in these kind matches, so I knew what I had to do. I had to put my heart into the match. I did it, I fought until the last ball. Extremely proud about myself, about the way that I fought and came back during the fifth set. “I’m just really happy to have the chance to play my first final in Melbourne. It was something I was chasing a lot.”
