Trump Tells Iran He Will Not Attack, Warns of Consequences Amid Protests

Wale busari02 mins

US President Donald Trump reportedly told Iran that he has no intention of attacking the country, while urging caution, according to Iranian Ambassador to Islamabad Reza Amiri Moghadam, as reported by the Pakistani daily Dawn on Thursday. Amiri Moghadam said he “received information at around 1am, which indicated that Trump did not want war and had asked Iran not to attack the US interests in the region.” The announcement comes after heightened speculation that the US might take military action, following reports of troop withdrawals from Middle East bases and a warning for American citizens on Monday to leave Iran without delay. Trump had previously threatened Tehran over casualties during ongoing anti-government protests. Speaking at the White House on Wednesday, Trump adopted a more measured tone, noting that he had been informed executions in Iran had stopped, but cautioning that “if something like that happens, we will all be saddened.” Iranian authorities have accused the US and Israel of supporting what they describe as “riots” and “terrorism” amid the unrest. While official figures have not been released, the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) estimates that more than 2,600 people, including protesters and security personnel, have been killed.

Taiwo Oyedele Denies Claims That New Tax Law Guidelines Were Halted

Wale busari01 mins

Taiwo Oyedele, Chairman of the Presidential Tax Reform Committee, has refuted reports suggesting that the Federal Government has suspended the issuance of implementation guidelines for Nigeria’s new tax laws. The clarification came on Thursday via Oyedele’s X account, in response to a report claiming that uncertainty over the final versions of the tax laws had forced a pause in government action. The report alleged that Oyedele had directed the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) and the Joint Revenue Board (JRB) to delay issuing the guidelines, amid doubts about whether the circulating copies of the laws reflected the official final versions. It further claimed that printed copies were withheld after the National Assembly reportedly retained all gazetted copies for internal review, raising concerns about discrepancies between versions. Oyedele dismissed the report outright, writing simply: “Fake news.”

A$AP Rocky Reveals Mom Encouraged Him to Pursue Rihanna

Wale busari02 mins

A$AP Rocky has revealed that his mother always encouraged him to be with Rihanna, even advising him to move on from his ex. In an interview with The New York Times, Rocky said his mom would often tell him, “I want you with Riri,” though at the time he thought of Rihanna only as a friend. He now believes his mother’s instincts were right. “Rihanna has always been my boo. I always f*cked with her. My mother used to say, ‘I know you like this girl that you are with right now, but I want you with Riri,’” Rocky said. He continued: “And I would tell her that Rihanna is just a friend. But my mother insisted that Rihanna is a real one and that I should go for her. I’m telling you, mothers know best. However, I am thankful that my relationship with Rihanna started when it did. Because at any time prior to that, I don’t think I was ready for something like that. I don’t think she was, either.” Rocky and Rihanna first became close in 2013 when he joined her on the Diamond Tour. Rumors of their romance emerged in 2020 after Rihanna’s split from Hassan Jameel. The couple has since welcomed three children together, in 2022, 2023, and 2025.

Ghanaian Referee Daniel Nii Laryea’s Instagram Taken Down After Super Eagles’ AFCON Semi-Final Controversy

Wale busari03 mins

The Instagram account of Ghanaian referee Daniel Nii Laryea has reportedly been taken offline following intense backlash from Nigerian fans after the Super Eagles’ 4-2 penalty shootout loss to Morocco in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) semi-final. Laryea officiated the tense encounter, which ended 0-0 after extra time before Morocco advanced to the final. Even before the match, some Nigerian supporters had expressed concerns over his appointment due to the historic football rivalry between Nigeria and Ghana. Those worries intensified during the game as several decisions went against the Super Eagles. A particularly controversial moment came when defender Calvin Bassey received a yellow card, resulting in a one-match suspension. Many fans felt the booking was harsh and unnecessary considering the importance of the fixture. After the final whistle, frustrated supporters reportedly tracked Laryea’s social media accounts and began mass-reporting them. As of the latest update, his Instagram page is no longer accessible. Nigerian defender Bright Osayi-Samuel expressed his frustration in the mixed zone: “The referee was appalling. I’m not saying that’s the reason why we lost but he was making very, very wrong decisions and it’s really painful to see that we have referees like that in a game like today.” Super Eagles striker Akor Adams also showed his displeasure, giving a brief but pointed response to reporters: “Make una go interview the referee,” he said while walking past the press. The controversy over Laryea’s officiating has continued online, with many Nigerian fans alleging bias in favour of the host nation. No official complaint has yet been filed, but the debate remains a major talking point in the aftermath of Nigeria’s semi-final exit.

Abuja Court Strikes Out Criminal Case Against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan

Wale busari03 mins

An Abuja High Court on Thursday struck out the criminal charges brought by the Federal Government against the senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, ending a high-profile case that sparked widespread national debate. The charges were withdrawn after the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation filed a Notice of Discontinuance, leading the court to formally strike out the criminal defamation and related counts earlier filed against the lawmaker. The case stemmed from comments Akpoti-Uduaghan allegedly made during a televised interview and had drawn significant public attention, with debates focusing on freedom of expression, political accountability, and the limits of prosecutorial powers in a democratic society. The Notice of Discontinuance, dated December 12, 2025, brought proceedings in suit number FHC/ABJ/CR/195/2025 to an end. Justice C. N. Oji, who presided over the matter, acknowledged the notice and struck out the case. In his remarks, the judge said the development highlighted the need for restraint in the use of prosecutorial authority, expressing hope that it would encourage respect for the rule of law and promote healing within the democratic process. Counsel to the Federal Government confirmed the withdrawal of the charges in court, explaining that the decision was taken in line with the Administration of Criminal Justice Act and in the overall interest of justice and public confidence in the legal system. Reacting after the court session, Akpoti-Uduaghan described the ruling as a vindication of her position. She said the outcome reaffirmed her belief in the rule of law and pledged to remain committed to serving her constituents and defending democratic rights. The striking out of the charges follows months of legal controversy and sustained public discourse, with civil society groups and rights organisations previously condemning the case as an attempt to suppress free speech and political engagement.

Former presidential candidate Dele Momodu has officially joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Momodu made the declaration on Thursday in Benin City, the Edo State capital, while addressing his supporters. He clarified that his decision was not driven by personal ambition, stressing that he is not seeking any elective office in the state. According to him, his move is solely about contributing to the development and wellbeing of the people. “And I came home for the first time and I coordinated everything, then it took me over 50 years, you won’t believe it, of excruciating hard work and meticulous planning to plant a home from my modest income in Iwe,” Momodu said. “So today, nobody can say Dele has no roots in Iwe. Today, I am standing before you, my friends, as I humbly reintegrate myself into the political process of my state.” He dismissed speculations about his political ambition, adding, “People have asked me, what do you want? Do you want to be a governor, a senator? No. I just want to promote the best interests of our people.”

Wale busari02 mins

The Federal Government has lauded the Super Eagles following Nigeria’s exit from the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. Nigeria was eliminated on Wednesday night after a goalless semi-final against Morocco, losing 4-2 in a penalty shootout at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat. Morocco’s goalkeeper, Yassine Bounou, saved penalties from Samuel Chukwueze and Bruno Onyemaechi, while Youssef En-Nesyri converted the winning kick to send the Atlas Lions to the final. Morocco will face Senegal on Sunday, who defeated Egypt 1-0 in the other semi-final. In a statement on Thursday, Minister of Information and National Orientation Mohammed Idris praised the team for demonstrating discipline, unity, and resilience throughout the tournament. “Even in defeat, you showed character, teamwork, and resilience, and those qualities matter deeply to the nation you represent,” Idris said. He noted that football has both victories and setbacks, but the Super Eagles’ commitment and performance earned respect from Nigerians at home and abroad. “Your effort, commitment, and fighting spirit throughout this tournament have earned the respect and gratitude of Nigerians at home and abroad,” the statement added. Idris encouraged the players to learn from the experience, remain united, and return stronger, emphasizing that wearing the national colours represents courage and unity. “Nigeria remains proud of you and grateful for the joy and hope you gave us during this competition. Well done, Super Eagles. The nation stands with you, always,” he concluded.
