The Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has urged Nigerians to bear with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) amid the ongoing Naira note scarcity.

Taking to the microblogging platform, Twitter, Peter Obi stated that currency redesign always includes substantial systemic alterations, but the long-term advantages are well worth it.

He also asked the CBN and the Federal Government of Nigeria to make concerted efforts to alleviate the suffering of her citizens.

He tweeted;

“The currency redesign is not peculiar to Nigeria. It is an exercise that comes with some inconvenience and pain but it has significant long-term economic and social benefits. Even though there are improvements that can be made.
I urge Nigerians to bear with the CBN and Federal Government with the hope that the general populace and Nigeria will harvest the gains that will come with the reforms.
We equally implore the CBN and the banks to expedite efforts to make the new currency available to small depositors and the unbanked in order to reduce the pains of my fellow Nigerians, especially the underprivileged and those living far away from banks in the rural areas – PO.”

Nollywood actor and media personality, Uti Nwachukwu has divulged why he believes men and women have no business getting married before the age of 40 and 30 respectively.

Uti who is still single shared his reasons during a new interview with Toke Makinwa on ‘Toke Moments’.

According to Uti, it was best to take time to live life and weigh your options until you are ready to fully commit to a relationship.

He said;

“That is why I am not married yet. I might be Kamala Harris’ age when I decide to get married, I don’t know. Until you are ready.
I don’t believe in monogamy when you’re young but there are exceptions to every rule. Do you understand? There are some people that monogamy would work for when they’re young but the average person, I’ve always said, I don’t think any man has any business marrying before 40.
To me oh, it doesn’t make me right. Between 35 – 40, I will say 35 – 40.
For women, apart from those that are afraid of their biological clock, but then again, how many children do women want these days? And please there is technology these days too. I don’t think any woman should be married before 30.
You have to experience life as a single. You have to weigh your options. For me, leave the spiritual contract of it, the same way I will say leave a government contract of it, because marriage is a contract between you, me, and God.
Leave contract, leave agreement. If you don’t want to commit to somebody, don’t make it official, whether in the presence of God, whether in the presence of the government, whether in the presence of your family. Once you agree, integrity is integrity. There is no excuse.”

Sonia Ekweremadu, the 25-year-old daughter of former Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu, has lost her bid to be excused from her parent’s trials n in the UK.

Justice Johnson at the Old Bailey denied Sonia’s request to not stand trial with her father and mother on ‘conspiracy to harvest organs’ allegations.

Sonia was docked with her mother, Beatrice. Ike Ekweremadu, on the other hand, watched the events through video conference.

He sat motionless as the court concluded that Sonia was not unfit to face a “criminal trial spanning seven weeks,” as her defense attorney, Femi Oni, had claimed.

Sonia’s counsel and the Crown prosecutor utilized expert witness testimony and report to back up their claims in court.

After the application for a stay of proceedings was denied on the grounds that she is medically and psychologically unfit due to her ongoing thrice-weekly dialysis, both sides of the bench led their expert witnesses in testimony via video link, beginning with the Manchester-based professor that Oni had lined up.
The professor also relied on the report of a consultant psychiatrist.

Dr. Andrews served as Dr. Davies’ expert witness. Though he acknowledged having no direct consultation with Sonia, he indicated that if the court’s meeting times were altered to afternoons to suit her treatment days, she would be capable of standing trial. In his evidence, Andrew informed the court that “residual dialysis symptoms do not make it difficult to attend trial.

After hearing from the barristers and their expert witnesses, including their reports, and acknowledging that the treatment is taxing her and that she has had to withdraw from her Masters degree program as a result of her diagnosis, the judge stated that it is not confirmed that her recovery or clinical care would suffer if she were to stand trial.

Popular Nigerian crossdresser, Idris Okuneye Olanrewaju popularly known as Bobrisky, has revealed that he and members of staff have their Permanent Voters Card (PVC).

Bobrisky, who was in the kitchen with his domestic workers, asked each of them if they had their voter registration card, and some of them said affirmative.

He exclaimed with delight that on election day, they would all go to the polling unit with their PVCs and vote.

In the video, he urged Nigerians to obtain their own voter cards and turn out in large numbers to vote in the general elections.

Bobristky stated that if his unskilled staff can acquire theirs, other educated and gainfully employed Nigerians have no reason not to do the same.

A video of veteran actor Mr Ibu’s wife, Stellamaris Okafor, being confronted by his son and his adopted daughter, Chioma Jasmine, has surfaced online.

Stellamaris recently opened up about her marital woes with the comic actor in a video she shared online.

She accused her husband of having an affair with Jasmine, who’s claiming to be the actor’s daughter, and lamented that she’s been catering for their children all by herself.

Recall that in August 2022 Bella got people talking online after he donned a skirt to perform at the Big Brother Naija live show.

The ‘Cash App’ hitmaker was a guest artiste at the show on Sunday, July 31st, and thrilled the audience with his hit songs.

However, his unconventional outfit was hard to miss and was the topic of discussion among viewers of the show following his performance.

The 25-year-old singer wore a blue mini-pleat skirt, a hoodie with spooky design and a dope all-stars sneakers.

Celebrity stylist, Toyin Lawani, has countered a man who asserted that the majority of men will never settle for a single mother.

The debate started after Nollywood actress Uche Ogbodo, who recently tied the knot with her younger lover, Bobby Maris, urged single mothers not to give up on love while using herself as an example.

She opined that God’s timing is best and the right person will find them in due time.

“Morning Motivation for my Single Ladies & Single Mothers gang who have given up hope ……. Gods Time is the Best , the right person is out there, he will find you when you ain’t even searching 😊😊…. Just be yourself, work hard on yourself and leave your heart Open 😊, Forgive who hurt you , Always Pray , and believe you will be ok.😎”, she wrote.

Reacting to Uche’s post, an Instagram user who had a conflicting opinion noted that 95% of the men out there will never marry a single mother.

“Madam dat na your headache ooo I’m just telling you the raw fact 95 percent of men will not marry you and another man’s child …. Me inclusive . If I talk true my pant no go loss”, he wrote.

Fashion designer, Toyin Lawani, however, disagreed with the man that men will not settle for a single mother and shared her mother’s experience to support her point.

Toyin, who noted that many single mothers have men begging to marry them and adopt their kids, said her mother already had two kids before her father married her.

Her parents proceeded to have five kids together in addition to the two her mother came into the marriage with, yet she found a man who married her with all seven of her kids after the relationship crashed.

She asserted that a man who loves a woman genuinely will never think about her baggage.
