Finance Minister Wale Edun Flies to UK for Medical Care

Wale busari03 mins

The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, has flown to the United Kingdom to receive medical care, sources confirmed on Tuesday. Edun left Abuja for Lagos on Monday night and later departed for London on a British Airways flight the same evening. Prior to his departure, Presidency officials said he was recuperating at his residence in Abuja under the care of Nigerian doctors. While he had recently fallen ill, earlier reports suggesting he had suffered a stroke or was incapacitated were dismissed. A senior government official, speaking anonymously, said the minister’s health was being closely monitored. “Yes, he’s indisposed. He’s sick, which is a bit serious, but it’s not a stroke. As I’m talking to you, he’s in his house. He’s not been flown anywhere,” the official said, adding that foreign medical treatment could be recommended—a decision that has now been taken. Another aide noted that President Bola Tinubu has been closely following Edun’s condition but stressed that “there are no plans to replace him.” Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, also confirmed that Edun initially received treatment in Nigeria. The Presidency previously confirmed that Edun would miss this year’s World Bank and IMF Annual Meetings in Washington, D.C., with Central Bank Governor Olayemi Cardoso leading Nigeria’s delegation in his stead. Since his appointment on August 28, 2023, Edun has played a key role in the administration’s economic reforms, including removing petrol subsidies, unifying foreign exchange rates, and implementing measures to stabilize the naira and curb inflation. Edun previously served as Lagos State Commissioner for Finance under Tinubu from 1999 to 2004 and co-founded the investment banking firm Denham Management Limited. As of Tuesday, the Ministry of Finance has yet to release an official statement regarding the minister’s condition or treatment plan.

You are a mumu.” He also defended his actions regarding his sister’s phone number, which had been shared for phone sales: “You think you can push me to the ground? I am already on the ground. Who else should I use? I even bought her a car before I left Nigeria. I will open a gadget shop for her too.” VDM’s bold and unfiltered response has sparked a storm on social media, drawing widespread attention and reactions from his followers.

Former Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga Passes Away at 80

Wale busari04 mins

Former Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga has died at the age of 80 while receiving medical treatment in India, family sources confirmed. According to Indian authorities, Odinga collapsed suddenly while walking with family members and his personal doctor. He was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. In recent weeks, speculation about his health had circulated, but family members and political allies dismissed claims that he was critically ill. Leaders across Africa, including Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, have expressed condolences. Odinga was a towering figure in Kenyan politics, running unsuccessfully for the presidency five times and rejecting the results each time, alleging electoral fraud. Following the 2017 elections, Kenya’s Supreme Court annulled Uhuru Kenyatta’s victory and ordered a fresh vote, which Odinga boycotted, citing the need for electoral reforms. His political career included some of Kenya’s most turbulent periods. The disputed 2007 elections sparked nationwide violence, leaving 1,200 dead and forcing around 600,000 people from their homes. A power-sharing agreement brokered by former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan led to a unity government, with Odinga serving as prime minister. Throughout his career, he reconciled with incumbent presidents after contentious elections. After losing in 2022, he joined President William Ruto in a “broad-based government,” defending the move as essential for national unity following protests that resulted in dozens of deaths. Earlier this year, Odinga sought to become chairperson of the African Union Commission, with support from the Ruto administration. Despite strong regional backing, he lost to Djibouti’s Mahmoud Ali Youssouf. Odinga inspired deep loyalty, especially in western Kenya, earning nicknames like “Baba” (Father), “Agwambo” (Act of God), and “Tinga” (Tractor). Known for his strategic brilliance and ability to mobilize crowds, he maintained strong connections with ordinary citizens. A steadfast defender of democracy and human rights, Odinga was Kenya’s longest-serving political detainee, imprisoned twice under Daniel arap Moi’s one-party rule—from 1982 to 1988 and 1989 to 1991. His first imprisonment followed an attempted coup in 1982, which elevated him onto the national political stage. Odinga will be remembered for his lifelong fight for democratic freedoms, his influence on Kenyan politics, and his ability to inspire and mobilize millions.

Chief Priest Fires Back at Maduka: “Money Na Water” Reflects Modern Wealth

Wale busari03 mins

Cubana Chief Priest has fired back at billionaire Cosmas Maduka after the business mogul criticized his famous saying, “money na water.” On Instagram, the nightlife mogul and entrepreneur defended the phrase, saying it represents modern wealth, abundance, and influence in today’s digital age. “Respect to the older generation who built wealth quietly, but the world you thrived in is not the one we live in today,” Chief Priest wrote. “Back then, capital was factories, fleets, and real estate. Today, attention is the main capital. Visibility is the new currency. In a digital economy, obscurity is bankruptcy. What you don’t show doesn’t sell, and what you don’t amplify dissolves into silence.” Chief Priest explained that “money na water” is a reflection of excess, flow, and opportunity. “Water moves, so does relevance, visibility, and influence. A man with massive attention today has more leverage than one with quiet billions but no presence. Content is digital equity. The same way factories produced wealth in the 80s, attention produces wealth today.” He also highlighted African billionaires like Tony Elumelu and Femi Otedola, praising how they use their wealth to give Africa visibility and impact. “This generation builds platforms to project wealth, not fences to hide it,” he said. Chief Priest concluded by reiterating that “money na water” is more than a slogan—it’s a declaration of abundance and a prophecy of wealth overflow. “Silence once symbolized power. Today, presence does. Money water na my business, na my lamba—make nobody try spoil am as e dey go.”

Edo Governor Okpebholo Orders Cabinet To Wear Asiwaju Mandate Cap Or Face Sanctions

Wale busari02 mins

Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo has ordered all cabinet members to wear the “Asiwaju mandate cap” in support of President Bola Tinubu, warning that defaulters would face sanctions. The directive came during the swearing-in ceremony of commissioners and board members of state agencies and commissions in Benin City on Tuesday. “I will not forgive any commissioner who is not wearing this cap,” the governor said. “During our Exco meetings, if you show up without a suit and the Asiwaju cap, you will be sent back.” Governor Okpebholo attributed the All Progressives Congress’ victory in the state’s last governorship election to President Tinubu’s backing. “This could not have happened without a responsible president. In past elections, the lack of presidential support was a major challenge. Today, we say thank you,” he stated. He emphasized that the appointments were not rewards or patronage, but opportunities for dedicated service. “Our administration is committed to practical governance that directly impacts the lives of our people. Your appointments are for service and sacrifice, not personal enrichment. Your success will be measured by the positive change you bring to Edo communities,” he added. The newly sworn-in commissioners include Vincent Osas Uwadia, Etin-osa Ogbeiwi, Saturday Uwuilekhue Idehen (JP), Charity Amayaenvbo, Nosa Adams, Yakubu Oshiorenua, Felix Akhabue, Omorodion Ignatius, Ohimai Ehijimetor, Eugenia Abdallah, Godwin Afekokhe Eshieshi, Kassim Afegbua, Jerry Uwangue, John Akhigbe, Festus Ebea, Elizabeth Ebosele, Kenneth Okoruwa Ihensekhien, and Usenbo Paul Ehigie.

R&B And Neo-Soul Icon D’Angelo Dies At 51 After Battle With Cancer

Wale busari04 mins

Grammy-winning R&B and soul legend D’Angelo has passed away at the age of 51 after a battle with cancer, his family confirmed. In a statement, they described the singer, born Michael Eugene Archer, as leaving behind “a legacy of extraordinarily moving music,” urging fans to celebrate “the gift of song that he has left for the world.” D’Angelo, often hailed as one of the architects of neo-soul, redefined R&B in the 1990s by blending it with jazz, funk, and hip-hop. Over the course of his career, he released three groundbreaking albums and earned four Grammy Awards. His 2000 hit Untitled (How Does It Feel) remains one of the most iconic R&B songs of all time — both for its smooth, sensual sound and its now-legendary single-shot music video that became a cultural phenomenon. “The shining star of our family has dimmed his light for us in this life,” his family said in a statement shared with CBS News. Tributes have poured in from across the music industry. Doja Cat described him as “a true voice of soul and inspiration to many brilliant artists of our generation and generations to come.” Jennifer Hudson wrote, “We lost a true original today. D’Angelo, your voice will live on forever. Rest well, King!!!” Tyler, the Creator also credited him as a major influence, saying, “My musical DNA was shaped by D’Angelo — we are so lucky to have been alive to enjoy his art.” Born in Richmond, Virginia, to a Pentecostal minister, D’Angelo taught himself to play the piano at age three. As a teenager, he performed with several local groups before gaining national attention after winning the Apollo Theater’s amateur night three consecutive weeks, eventually landing a publishing deal with EMI at just 18. He achieved stardom with his 1995 debut album Brown Sugar, which produced the hit single Lady and introduced a new, raw sound that reshaped the R&B landscape. His 2000 follow-up, Voodoo, brought him even greater acclaim and two Grammy Awards. However, fame was followed by personal challenges, including struggles with addiction and a near-fatal car accident in 2005. After years away from the spotlight, D’Angelo made a triumphant return in 2014 with Black Messiah, an album praised for its politically charged lyrics and powerful reflection on race and justice in America. D’Angelo’s artistry and soul influenced a generation of musicians, from contemporary R&B stars to hip-hop creators. His passing marks the loss of one of the genre’s most gifted and fearless voices — but his music and message will continue to inspire for generations to come.
