Angela Okorie Throws Shade At Regina Daniels Amid Alleged Domestic Crisis With Ned Nwoko

Wale busari02 mins

Nollywood star Angela Okorie has stirred online buzz after appearing to take a swipe at Regina Daniels, who is currently facing reports of domestic issues in her marriage to billionaire politician Ned Nwoko. In a post shared on her Instagram page, Angela wrote: “Nigerians na me dem beat for Ferrari and private jet house with 8 wives? Why una dey tag me kwanu? Oh chim Angelaaaaaa. Ojukokoro is bad!” Though she didn’t name anyone, social media users quickly connected her comment to Regina’s alleged marital troubles, interpreting it as a mocking jab at the actress’s luxurious yet troubled union. The phrase “Ojukokoro is bad” — meaning “greed is bad” — was widely seen as Angela’s way of implying that Regina’s supposed quest for wealth may have landed her in her current situation. Her post has since sparked a flood of reactions online, with some calling her post insensitive while others praised her for “saying the truth without fear.”

Tim Godfrey’s Collaboration With Oxlade On “Infinity” Sparks Mixed Reactions Among Christians

Tim Godfrey’s Collaboration With Oxlade On “Infinity” Sparks Mixed Reactions Among Christians

Wale busari02 mins

Nigerian gospel artist Tim Godfrey has stirred mixed reactions online following the release of his new single “Infinity,” featuring Afrobeats singer Oxlade. The track, which dropped this week, serves as the seventh song on Godfrey’s upcoming 12-track studio album No Label. It blends contemporary gospel rhythms with Oxlade’s smooth R&B and Afrobeats style, creating a fusion that has drawn both praise and criticism. While many listeners have hailed the collaboration for its creativity and crossover appeal, others — particularly within Nigeria’s Christian community — have questioned the choice of featuring Oxlade, who is widely known for secular hits such as “Ku Lo Sa” and “Away.” In a statement unveiling the song, Godfrey described Infinity as a “magnificent piece” that aligns with his vision of spreading faith-driven music to a broader audience. The single follows Praise the Lord, which also appears on the forthcoming album. Reactions on social media have been divided, with supporters celebrating the blend of genres as a modern expression of worship, while critics argue that inviting a secular artist onto a gospel record undermines the sacred nature of the message.

Trossard Strike Lifts Arsenal Past Fulham As Gunners Return To Top Of Premier League

EPL: Trossard Fires Arsenal Past Fulham As Gunners Retain Top Spot

Wale busari02 mins

Arsenal continued their strong Premier League run on Saturday with a hard-fought 1–0 victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage. Leandro Trossard scored the only goal of the game, volleying home after a Bukayo Saka corner was flicked on by Gabriel Magalhães. The win sent Arsenal back to the top of the table, three points clear of Manchester City and four ahead of Liverpool. Though the performance lacked fluency, Arsenal displayed defensive solidity and composure to secure their fifth clean sheet in eight league matches. Fulham started brightly and created a few early chances through Raúl Jiménez and Harry Wilson but failed to find a breakthrough. Despite injuries to key players like captain Martin Ødegaard, Mikel Arteta’s men held their ground, relying on structure and discipline rather than flair. The victory highlighted Arsenal’s growing maturity — even on an off day, they managed to grind out a crucial win away from home. However, some concerns linger in attack, as new signing Viktor Gyökeres extended his goalless run to nine matches for club and country. The result keeps Arsenal firmly in control of the title race and underscores their evolution into a team capable of winning through resilience as much as brilliance.

Rita Edochie Hits Back At Yinka Theisen Over Social Media Attacks On Family

Wale busari02 mins

Nollywood actress Rita Edochie has responded sharply to Yinka Theisen over her ongoing social media attacks on the Edochie family. Rita shared a photo of a monkey wearing a wig, widely interpreted as a pointed reference to Yinka, accompanied by a scathing caption. She wrote: “Edochie’s family is not a dumping ground for individuals without integrity. People who cause nuisance on social media will no longer be tolerated. I join all right-thinking men and women, especially May Nation, to call on this individual in America to stop being a disturbance online.” She went further to describe Yinka as a “public bore hole,” warning that her antics would not be welcomed by the family. Rita advised her to step back, focus on her own life, and leave the Edochie family alone, even suggesting that she “move into the bush and start hunting for another young man” instead of interfering in theirs. The feud stems from Yinka’s past relationship with Linc Edochie, which ended bitterly, after which she has repeatedly targeted members of the Edochie family online. Rita has remained vocal in defending her family, especially in support of May Edochie following Yul Edochie’s second marriage. Fans have reacted with mixed feelings, some commending Rita for defending her family, while others have urged both women to end the public confrontation. Yinka has yet to respond to Rita’s latest post.

Senate Steps In To End ASUU Strike, Sets Meeting With Education Minister And NUC

Senate Steps In To End ASUU Strike, Sets Meeting With Education Minister And NUC

Wale busari04 mins

The Senate has stepped into the ongoing standoff between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) as efforts intensify to end the current two-week warning strike. The Senate Committees on Labour, Tertiary Institutions, and TETFUND are set to meet with Education Minister Tunji Alausa and the Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC), Professor Abdullahi Yusuf Ribadu, on Tuesday next week. This session will follow a committee meeting with ASUU leadership held today at the National Assembly. Speaking to journalists in Abuja after the closed-door meeting with ASUU, Senator Muntari Dandutse (APC, Katsina South), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Tertiary Institutions and TETFUND, said the committees had carefully considered ASUU’s demands and are prepared to present them to the relevant authorities. He stated, “After meeting with ASUU’s national leadership on resolving the ongoing strike and preventing it from becoming indefinite, we agreed to convene a critical meeting with key government agencies, particularly the Minister of Education and the Executive Secretary of NUC, on Tuesday or Wednesday next week. “We have also decided to engage the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Barrister Nyesom Wike, to halt any encroachment on the University of Abuja’s land.” Before the closed-door session, ASUU National President, Professor Christopher Piwuna, stressed that increased funding for universities by the Federal Government, in line with previous agreements, is crucial to ending the strike. He highlighted that sustainable investment in education is essential to preventing recurring industrial actions and improving the global ranking of Nigerian universities. The current two-week warning strike, he said, stems from unresolved issues dating back to 2011. “We engaged the Federal Government for eight years without tangible results. The Yayale Ahmed Committee report, submitted in December 2024, was largely ignored until this strike began,” Piwuna explained. On delayed funding, he revealed that although the National Assembly approved N150 billion for universities, only N50 billion has been released. He claimed the funds remain with the Ministry of Education, where the minister reportedly intends to distribute it among universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education, despite separate budget allocations. Piwuna warned that the N150 billion approved specifically for universities must be used solely for that purpose.

Nigeria’s Population Set To Surge By 2050, Raising Urgent Need For Job Creation – World Bank

Wale busari04 mins

World Bank Group President Ajay Banga has called for job creation to be placed at the heart of every development, economic, and national security plan, stressing that employment is key to building sustainable growth. Speaking at the 2025 World Bank–IMF Annual Meetings Plenary, Banga projected that by 2050, over 85 percent of the world’s population will live in developing countries, with Africa alone expected to account for one in every four people on earth. He warned that about 1.2 billion young people will join the global workforce within the next 10 to 15 years, competing for only 400 million available jobs—just a third of what’s needed. “These young people—with their energy and ideas—will define the next century. With the right investments, we can unlock a powerful engine of global growth,” Banga said. Highlighting the bank’s reforms, he explained that 153 internal performance metrics had been merged into a single corporate scorecard with 22 key indicators. He also disclosed that the bank’s financial capacity had grown by about $100 billion through innovative financing tools and better resource optimization. According to him, the World Bank’s annual financing increased from $107 billion to $119 billion in two years, while private capital mobilisation jumped from $47 billion to $67 billion. Total commitments, including private capital mobilisation, hit $186 billion, with an additional $79 billion raised through bond issuances. These efforts, Banga noted, have translated into real-world impact: 20 million farmers now have better access to technology and markets, 60 million people have been connected to electricity, 70 million have received education or vocational training, and 300 million have benefited from improved health and nutrition services. He also pointed out that the bank is working closely with the Asian Development Bank and developing an IFC2030 strategy to further boost private investment. The multilateral development bank (MDB) co-financing platform has already backed 175 projects globally. On governance, Banga said the World Bank is partnering with governments to fight corruption using digital identification systems, enhanced fraud detection tools, and artificial intelligence that connects tax, property, and identity data. “Over the past decade, we’ve supported 120 governments in this effort and are currently working with 26 more to target corruption and illicit financial flows,” he said.
