Atiku Abubakar Ready To Step Aside For Younger ADC Presidential Candidate In 2027

Wale busari02 mins

Former Vice President and prominent African Democratic Congress (ADC) figure, Atiku Abubakar, has said he is willing to step aside for a younger, energetic, and widely acceptable presidential candidate in the 2027 election, if the candidate emerges under the ADC platform. In an interview with BBC Hausa Service on Wednesday, Atiku emphasized that his interest in the presidency is not about personal ambition but about providing Nigerians with a credible alternative. “My being in the 2027 race does not prevent anyone from contesting. If a vibrant and widely accepted younger candidate emerges, I am willing to step aside,” he said. He also encouraged young Nigerians to participate actively in politics, pledging his full support if a youthful candidate is chosen to contest for the nation’s highest office. Atiku dismissed claims that he is desperate for the presidency, insisting that his focus remains on “rescuing Nigeria from the people that have held it hostage.”

Elon Musk Briefly Becomes First Person Worth $500 Billion Before Dip

Wale busari02 mins

Tesla CEO Elon Musk made history on Wednesday as the first individual ever to surpass a net worth of $500 billion (£370 billion), though his fortune fell below that threshold within hours. The milestone came after another surge in Tesla’s share price. According to Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index, which tracks the net worth of the world’s 500 richest people, Musk’s day-end net worth was $470 billion (£348.7 billion), a $10.5 billion increase in a single day. For perspective, 159 of the world’s top 500 billionaires have net worths below $10 billion. Tesla shares climbed 3.3 per cent on Wednesday and were up an additional 0.7 per cent in pre-market trading, suggesting Musk’s wealth could rise further once US markets open. He currently holds about a 12–13 per cent stake in Tesla, and future pay packages could see him acquire more shares, potentially positioning him to become the world’s first trillionaire if key company milestones are reached. In addition to Tesla, Musk owns private companies such as SpaceX, The Boring Company, and xAI, some of which have seen increased valuations this year. Tesla shares have risen more than 70 per cent over the past six months, recovering from a slump in March and April, though they remain slightly below the record high reached in December 2024. The company continues to face challenges, including slower sales in Europe and rising competition from Chinese electric vehicle makers.

Amidst recent online controversies with the Dangote Group, Phyna took a moment to honor her nephew on social media. In her post, she wrote, “Happy birthday to the bright star my sister left with us.

Today, we celebrate YOU—your growth, your happiness, and the amazing person you’re becoming. May this year fill your heart with laughter, strength, and every good thing life has to offer.

Lautech Hospital Security Guards’ Salary Hiked From N18,800 To N80,000 By Governor Makinde

Wale busari02 mins

Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has increased the salaries of 67 security guards at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (Lautech) Hospital from N18,800 to N80,000 per month following their plea for better wages. The guards, who are outsourced personnel and not officially hospital staff, had approached the governor during an event at the hospital, recounting their struggles and a previous protest in June 2021 that yielded no results. “One of the guards tearfully said, ‘We are not staff but indigenes of Oyo State. I have a family and three children; my age is fast running out. Please help us, your excellency,’” according to reports from the event. Upon hearing their grievances, Governor Makinde confirmed the guards’ salaries and immediately announced that all 67 would be converted to ad-hoc staff, receiving N80,000 monthly starting from October 1. The decision, which more than quadruples their previous earnings, was met with cheers and jubilation from the guards and attendees.

Wale busari02 mins

Temi Otedola has opened up about her marriage to Afrobeats star Mr Eazi, sharing intimate details about their relationship and the choices she has made as a wife. In a BBC interview, Temi described Mr Eazi as her “best friend” and “her person,” stressing that their bond is built on friendship, love, and mutual support. She said she could not imagine life with anyone else, adding that marriage for her is about building a future together, celebrating wins, and navigating challenges side by side. She also spoke about her decision to take her husband’s surname, explaining that it was a personal choice that felt natural and fulfilling. “It’s what I’m comfortable and happy doing, but I also respect every woman’s right to choose,” she said. On why she and Mr Eazi kept their engagement and wedding private, Temi noted that moving quietly gave them control of their story. “There’s something about moving in silence that allows you to own your narrative and share on your own terms,” she explained. Reflecting on her privileged background as the daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola, Temi acknowledged the advantages it provided but stressed the importance of how opportunities are used. “You can give someone a leg up, but it’s what they do with it that matters,” she said. For Temi, her marriage represents not just love but also partnership, friendship, and the freedom to shape her own journey.

Bimbo Akintola Supports Polygamy As Answer To Modern Marital Challenges

Wale busari02 mins

Actress Bimbo Akintola has stirred conversation by advocating for polygamy, saying it remains part of Yoruba culture and could help solve societal challenges. In an interview with Biola Bayo, she argued that the shortage of men makes polygamy a practical option, noting that many families in the past had multiple wives. According to her, the practice is not entirely outdated and could still work in today’s world. She recounted the story of a woman who encouraged her husband to take a second wife because of differences in sexual drive. The arrangement, Akintola explained, gave the first wife peace of mind and stability in her marriage. “With the way the world is going, people should embrace polygamy. If statistics say men are not enough, then why not two women to one man? It has always been part of our tradition. We grew up seeing Yoruba men with two or three wives. While it may have disadvantages, there are also advantages,” she stated.
