Wale busari01 mins

Seun Kuti and Peter Okoye, also known as Mr P of the former P-Square duo, have ended their public feud. Their disagreement erupted during the 2023 elections over Labour Party candidate Peter Obi. Kuti had described Obi as an “opportunist,” while Peter questioned Kuti’s relevance and achievements in music, leading to a heated social media exchange. The tension has now eased, with the pair recently spotted embracing at a Lagos club. “We are artistes, we can’t be fighting over politicians,” Kuti told Okoye, who agreed and shook his hand. “We are artistes, we can’t be fighting over politicians.” Seun Kuti to Mr. P pic.twitter.com/Hp6t5qOtMB — @𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗷𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗯𝗼𝘆 (@OneJoblessBoy) January 16, 2026

Manchester United Start Carrick Era With 2-0 Manchester Derby Win Over City

Wale busari03 mins

Manchester United kicked off the Michael Carrick era in style, showing renewed confidence and a performance that had fans smiling from start to finish. The Reds defeated cross-town rivals Manchester City 2-0 at Old Trafford on Saturday, delivering a statement win to start the Premier League weekend. Carrick set his team up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Bryan Mbeumo leading the attack, Bruno Fernandes in his preferred No. 10 role, and Amad and Patrick Dorgu operating on the wings. Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo anchored the midfield, while Luke Shaw, Diogo Dalot, Lisandro Martinez, and Harry Maguire formed the backline in front of goalkeeper Senne Lammens. City dominated possession for much of the game but struggled to create clear-cut chances, registering just one shot on target in the first half. United, by contrast, looked sharp on the counter, twice seeing goals ruled out by tight offside calls. The second half belonged to United. The Reds grew increasingly confident going forward, creating six meaningful chances and converting two of them. The breakthrough came from Mbeumo, who finished a textbook counterattack after Bruno fed him a perfectly timed pass into space, slotting past Gianluigi Donnarumma for 1-0. United kept the pressure on, and Carrick’s decision to bring on Matheus Cunha paid off. The substitute made an immediate impact, driving into the right channel and delivering a pinpoint cross for Dorgu to double the lead. A late goal from Mason Mount was disallowed for a tight offside, but it did little to dampen the celebrations. The result delivered a morale-boosting derby win and a refreshing display of attacking intent. United now turn their attention to a challenging trip to league leaders Arsenal next weekend.

248 Passengers Escape Death As Qatar Airways Plane Makes Emergency Landing In Lagos

Wale busari04 mins

At least 248 passengers narrowly avoided a disaster on Friday night when a Qatar Airways flight experienced a technical fault mid-air and was forced to make an emergency landing at Lagos’ Murtala Muhammed International Airport. The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) confirmed that the aircraft, carrying 248 passengers and 12 crew members, sent out distress signals while flying within Nigerian airspace, prompting an immediate emergency response. According to a preliminary LASEMA report, the agency activated its emergency response plan after receiving alerts through its 767/112 toll-free emergency lines. Emergency landings occur when unexpected technical problems arise, with pilots communicating directly with air traffic control to safely guide the plane to the runway. “Following distress alerts received at the Command and Control Centre in Alausa, Ikeja, the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency promptly activated the State’s Emergency Response Plans,” the report said. Eyewitnesses described tense moments as emergency personnel lined the runway while passengers braced for the unplanned landing. On arrival, LASEMA’s Lagos Response Team confirmed that the aircraft had safely touched down despite the technical fault. The report credited the pilot for successfully executing the landing under pressure. “The pilot executed a safe landing on the runway at Murtala Muhammed International Airport with LASEMA response teams and other emergency responders on standby,” it said. After the landing, the aircraft was checked by the pilot and engineering crew before being moved to the apron for a more detailed inspection and repairs. All passengers were safely evacuated, and no injuries were recorded. LASEMA noted that the plane sustained no major damage and that recovery operations had been completed. “The aircraft has been secured on the apron, recovery activities have been completed, and the rescue operation has been safely concluded,” the agency said. Emergency teams on site included LASEMA’s Command and Control Centre, LASAMBUS, the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, and the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria. The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority confirmed the incident, with spokesperson Michael Achimugu stating, “I can confirm that there was an air return. Details will be communicated later.” Qatar Airways had not responded to requests for comment sent to its country manager, Ken Chirchir, as of the time of reporting.

Over 80 Militants Lay Down Arms In Cross River Under State Amnesty Programme

Wale busari04 mins

More than 80 militants have abandoned armed activities in Cross River State after accepting the state government’s amnesty programme, the Nigerian Army has disclosed. The fighters reportedly surfaced from creek hideouts in Akpabuyo Local Government Area in the early hours of Friday and formally surrendered at the Atimbo rear area during Operation Okwok. The Army said the group came from two different militant camps operating in the area. One camp, led by ThankGod Ebikontei, popularly known as Ayibanuagha, turned in 39 fighters. Another camp headed by John Isaac, also called Akpokolo, accounted for 41 fighters. The latter faction is commonly referred to as the Akpokolo Marine Forces or Border Boys. Along with the surrender, the former militants handed over a large haul of weapons and equipment. Items recovered included AK-47 rifles, pump-action guns, a G3 rifle, a Mark 4 rifle, several single-barrel guns, AK-47 magazines, speedboats, boat engines, a C4 explosive charge, ammunition, cartridges, and other assorted military kits, tools, and locally fabricated weapons. The development was described as a major step toward restoring peace in the state. “This voluntary surrender and embrace of amnesty by these former militants clearly demonstrates that sustained military operations, combined with constructive engagement and strong collaboration with the Cross River State Government and other security agencies, remain effective tools for restoring peace.” The Army also reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining security and supporting reintegration efforts. “We will continue to provide a secure environment while supporting all lawful initiatives aimed at reintegrating repentant youths and ensuring lasting stability across our area of responsibility.” After the exercise, the surrendered militants were handed over to the Cross River State Government’s Rapid Response Team and moved for profiling by the Department of State Services at Muka Sam Hotel in Ikot Ansa, Calabar. The Army praised the Cross River State Government for its role in the process, describing its involvement as critical to the success of the amnesty programme. “The proactive engagement, coordination, and support provided by the state government were instrumental to the successful execution of this amnesty programme.” Security agencies also urged residents to continue supporting peace efforts by providing timely and credible information to prevent a return to criminal activities.

Ebonyi APC Charges N30 Million for Local Government Chairmanship Election

Wale busari02 mins

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ebonyi State has pegged nomination forms for local government chairmanship elections at N30 million, surpassing the total official earnings of a chairman over an entire four-year term. State APC Chairman Stanley Okoro Emegha made the announcement after a closed-door meeting with party officials in Abakaliki. The gathering included the 13 Local Government Chairmen and 171 ward executives, and was aimed at briefing leaders on upcoming party programs and coordinating activities across all levels. The steep fee quickly drew attention, particularly after Osborn Umahi, son of Minister of Works Dave Umahi, reportedly purchased the form for Ohaozara Local Government Area, attracting supporters to the party secretariat. Data from the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) shows that local government chairmen earn about N3.5 million in salary and N2.7 million in allowances annually, totaling roughly N25.2 million over a four-year term—less than the APC nomination form fee. The announcement has raised questions about the affordability of political participation in Nigeria, highlighting concerns over high-cost politics and the reliance on personal wealth or external support to contest elective positions.

Anu Adeleke’s Mother Shares Alleged DNA Result, Rejects Davido’s Claims of Multiple Tests

Wale busari02 mins

The paternity dispute between Nigerian superstar Davido and his alleged daughter, Anu Adeleke, has taken a new turn with the emergence of a purported DNA result. Anu’s mother, Ayo Labinjoh, shared the result on Instagram, calling it “the ONLY DNA TEST” and dismissing claims that multiple tests had ever been conducted. She wrote: “Fake!! No swab, just blood. Not 2, Not 5. We still haven’t seen Davido post today online and in newspapers. Dr Olunloyo fought for Anu a lot.” The post included a message from journalist Kemi Olunloyo and a copy of the alleged DNA result, which Labinjoh said originated from talks initiated by the late family attorney Ayo Labinjoh in 2014. According to her, this remains the only verified test, contradicting Davido’s lawyer’s previous claims of multiple tests. Olunloyo also shared her investigative findings from 2018, confirming the legitimacy of the 2014 test and criticizing Davido for ignoring prior demands regarding Anu. She stated: “He’s an adult, so if he wants to call his family, get advice. Ayo is not Sophia.” Labinjoh outlined the family’s demands, which include a blind DNA test in the US, six years of unpaid child support, monthly financial support until Anu turns 18, and the issuance of both Nigerian and US passports for the teenager. She emphasized: “NO COMPROMISE!! FINISH!” The dispute continues to attract national attention, with the validity of DNA tests and questions of responsibility and accountability remaining at the center of public debate.
