Nigerian content creator Jarvis has opened up emotionally about her mother’s ongoing battle with an undisclosed illness, describing it as one of the most painful realities in her life. In a tearful video shared online, Jarvis revealed that her mother’s condition is not something that money can resolve. “My mum is sick, and that’s my reality right now. This isn’t something money can fix,” she said, visibly emotional. Jarvis also shared that her father has been largely absent from her life, adding that she has been personally trying to locate him amid the family crisis. The influencer expressed concern that social media users might exploit her mother’s illness for content or use it against her, explaining that this fear contributed to her long silence on the matter. While she did not disclose the specific nature of her mother’s illness, Jarvis focused on the emotional strain it has placed on her and her family. “My mum is sick, and that’s my reality right now. This isn’t something money can fix. My father has been absent, and I’ve been the one searching for him. I’m scared social media would use my mother’s condition into content or use it against me.” — Jarvis says as she breaks down pic.twitter.com/cgSjelH3ie — 𝐀𝐬𝐚𝐤𝐲𝐆𝐑𝐍 (@AsakyGRN) January 8, 2026

Wale busari02 mins

The Senior Pastor of Mountain of Liberation and Miracles Ministries, Chris Okafor, has reportedly turned himself in to the police amid serious allegations of misconduct and related offences. The Lagos State Police Command confirmed that Okafor voluntarily reported to authorities after failing to honour an earlier police invitation scheduled for Monday. He had been formally notified on Sunday by the State Criminal Investigation Department at Panti. Speaking to TVC on Wednesday, Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Olohundare Jimoh, explained that the pastor had initially indicated through his lawyer that he would appear on Monday but did not show up, prompting police action. “When he was invited, he got to us through his lawyer that he would be appearing on Monday. So, on Monday, we waited for him. We didn’t see him, and I directed that he should be arrested. Subsequently, he showed up yesterday.” Jimoh further disclosed that the case has now been transferred to the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 2, Sylvester Alabi, for further investigation. “We later learned that the same matter had been opened at the Zone 2 headquarters with the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 2, which I verified. He informed me the investigation had been ongoing under his command for about three weeks.”

Trump Moves To Pull US Out Of 66 UN And Global Bodies

Wale busari03 mins

United States President Donald Trump has unveiled plans to withdraw the country from 66 United Nations and international organisations, a decision that would significantly scale back US involvement in global efforts on climate change, democracy, and peacebuilding. The move was announced in a presidential memorandum released by the White House on Wednesday night. Trump said the decision followed a review of international bodies, conventions, and treaties considered to be at odds with US national interests. He added that Washington would end its participation in the affected organisations and halt all financial contributions to them. The list issued by the White House shows that 35 of the organisations are outside the UN system, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature. While classified as a non-UN body in the document, the IPCC is a UN-backed organisation that brings together leading scientists to evaluate climate data and provide assessments used by governments worldwide. The withdrawal plan also covers 31 UN bodies, among them the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the UN Democracy Fund, and the UN Population Fund, which focuses on maternal and child health. Several of the targeted agencies are involved in protecting vulnerable populations during armed conflicts, including the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children in Armed Conflict. Responding to the announcement, UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said the organisation was expected to issue an official response by Thursday morning. Although Trump has consistently argued for reduced US participation in UN forums, he has continued to play an active role in shaping decisions on the international stage.

Manchester City Held 1-1 By Brighton As Arsenal Eye Eight-Point Lead

Wale busari01 mins

Manchester City’s struggles in the Premier League continued as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Brighton at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday, allowing leaders Arsenal to strengthen their advantage. Despite creating numerous opportunities, City lacked the clinical edge to secure all three points and were punished in the second half when Brighton struck unexpectedly after a quiet period. Erling Haaland’s 150th goal for the club gave City the lead late in the first half, seemingly setting them on track to close the gap on Arsenal to three points before the Gunners faced Liverpool on Thursday. However, Kaoru Mitoma had other plans, scoring from almost nothing to leave City scrambling in the final stages. Brighton held firm to deny City, meaning Arsenal could extend their lead at the top to eight points with a win over Arne Slot’s Liverpool.

Five Farmers Killed in Benue’s Kwande Community as Suspected Herders Attack During Harvest

Wale busari03 mins

Five farmers have been killed and several others injured after suspected armed herders attacked Udeku Maav-Ya community in Mbakyol Council Ward, Turan District, Kwande Local Government Area of Benue State on Tuesday around 4:00 p.m. The attack occurred while residents were harvesting yams and bambara nuts, disrupting agricultural activities and raising fresh concerns over food security in the border community. Kwande LGA Chairman, Tersua Yarkwan, confirmed the fatalities and said the assailants did not immediately leave the area, heightening fear among residents. “This is a very disturbing incident. Five of our farmers were killed while harvesting their crops, and the attackers stayed back in the area for some time,” he said. Yarkwan described Kwande as a vulnerable border area with challenging terrain along the Cameroon frontier, which complicates security operations. “These repeated attacks, particularly during harvest season, pose a serious threat to food production,” he warned. Former supervisory councillor Lawrence Akerigba said the community was caught off guard and has faced sustained pressure from armed herders. “Our people have been subjected to shootings, destruction of crops and homes, and restricted access to water,” he said. The confirmed victims include Tyozua Gyuse, Gbaga Gyuse, and Tersuur Ijighka, while two others have yet to be identified. Some residents remain missing as search efforts continue. Akerigba also noted that repeated attacks have forced the closure of schools, churches, and markets, urging authorities to provide consistent security support. Efforts to reach Benue State Police Command spokesperson DSP Udeme Edet were unsuccessful at the time of reporting.
