Siminalayi Fubara, governor of Rivers, says the political
crisis in the state will be resolved.

The governor spoke on Wednesday when Christopher Musa, chief of defence staff, led a military delegation to visit him at the government house in Port Harcourt.

Alluding to Nyesom Wike, his predecessor who is the minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), Fubara said there is “nothing wrong if a father and a son have a problem”.

“For our dear state, I know everybody is wondering what’s going on, what’s not going on. We are okay, there is no problem,” Fubara said.


“If we have an internal issue, it will be resolved and everything will go back to normal.

“There is nothing wrong if a father and a son have a problem. If there is any problem — but I don’t think there is anything. Whatever it is, we will definitely resolve the issue.”

On Monday, political tension heightened in Rivers state when some lawmakers in the house of assembly moved to
impeach Fubara.

Ehie Edison, Fubara’s ally, was removed as the leader of the state assembly but hours later, he was elected as the new speaker .

The crisis in the state is linked to a rumoured rift between Fubara and Wike.

On Tuesday, Wike and Fubara met at the presidential villa

— the first sit-down between the duo since the crisis.

While addressing a delegation of south-south leaders in Abuja, Wike who spoke about the crisis for the first time, said the political turmoil in the state is a party affair.

Bala Mohammed, governor of Bauchi and chairman of the PDP governors forum, had said President Bola Tinubu has intervened in the crisis, expressing optimism that peace will be restored in the state.

The PDP had also called on all actors in the state to “sheathe their swords and allow for a peaceful and amicable resolution of all the issues”.

Chef Dammy has received curses and threats from church members for naming their pastor as a person of interest if something happens to her.

Recall that Damilola Adeparusi, better known as Chef Dammy, took to Instagram a couple of days ago to say that her pastor, Adegoke Jeremiah, has subjected her to threats and should be held responsible if anything happens to her

Now, chats purportedly from the Spirit World Family Whatsapp group has leaked.

The chat shows church members cursing the Ekiti Chef.

LASEPA's enforcement team, led by the GM, Dr. @thetundeajayi, has sealed religious centres due to concerns regarding noise pollution and other environmental infractions.

This action affects establishments like Ansar-Ud-deen and Restoration Centre Global Church in Gbagada.

Again Reno Omokri has taken to social media to taunt Peter Obi over Mr Ibu’s ailing health. Recall that Mr Ibu came out on Wednesday, October 18 to seek public assistance to attend to his failing health.

Shortly after he made a public outcry, Reno said Mr Ibu endorsed Peter Obi’s candidacy during the 2023 elections and so Obi should support the ailing actor.

This morning via his IG page, he shared a video of Peter Obi
saying he is richer than US President and asked Obi to help Mr Ibu. He went on to add that Mr Ibu and Patience Ozokwor endorsed a fundraising for Obi before the elections and some of the money should be donated to support Ibu.

A Nigerian lawyer has touched on the illegality of sharing screenshots of private chats without the consent of the other party.

In a video shared online, the lawyer stated that section 37 of the Nigerian constitution frowns at people sharing
screenshots of their conversations with other persons
without consent.

According to him, this is an act of violation against a person's privacy.

‘’Do you know that unless somebody grants you his consent, you don't have the right to screenshot your chats with any other person on your DM and post it on your timeline or Whatsapp status. In Nigeria, specifically in section 37 of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, that is a violation of the person's right to privacy.

The one that is baffling is to see people screenshotting their last chat with a dead person and posting it on their timeline or Whatsapp status.

It is a violation of the law because if that person were to be alive, he may not be comfortable with you putting out his or her chat on a public platform.''

Chapter 4 Section 37 of the Nigerian constitution reads;

‘’National Protection The right to privacy is one ofnthe fundamental human rights entrenched in thenNigerian Constitution. Section 37 of the 1999nConstitution provides that: “The privacy of citizens,ntheir homes, correspondence, telephonenconversations and telegraphic communications is hereby guaranteed and protected.”

Leah Sharibu, the girl held in captivity by members of Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) has “remarried” another terrorists’ commander, after purportedly securing a divorce from the first ‘husband’ she was forcefully given to, local security sources told the Daily Trust yesterday.

Leah was abducted alongside her over 100 schoolmates from Government Girls Technical College, Dapchi, Yobe State on February 19, 2018.

Few years ago, it was reported by some media houses that the Dapchi girl was married off.

Our correspondent gathered that Leah, after the purported divorce from one Abdulrahman, was remarried to another ISWAP commander in the Lake Chad area named Ali Abdallah.

One of the security sources said, “Leah was first married to Abdulrahman after she allegedly converted to Islam and they have two children, all boys that were named after two Boko Haram commanders that were killed.

“We don’t know what transpired but Leah secured the divorce and married another commander, Ali Abdallah.”

The source said after her abduction, Leah was “trained” on how to administer some medical services to injured Boko Haram fighters and women.

Our correspondent reports that one of the antics of terrorists in the North East is forcing their captives with expertise in some areas like medicine, nursing, engineering, computer, among others to train their members on such areas.

“She was ‘trained’ as a medical personnel and now leads the ISWAP medical team in the northern part of the Lake Chad area,” the source said.

Another source said, “Ten days ago, Leah, her supposed husband and other fighters were sighted at Dogon Chukwun kangarwa.

“Her husband is a commander under ISWAP but they are facing persecution from a Boko Haram commander loyal to Shekau, Malam Bakura.

“As of today, we got a report that a large contingent of the ISWAP fighters has started migrating from the area through Guzamala forest.

“They were sighted on the route of Cross – Mosquito camp- Garin-giwa (where the Zulum’s convoy was attacked) – Munguno – Gajiram with cache of dangerous arms,” he said.

The United Kingdom (UK) has updated its travel requirements for people wishing to enter the country.

UK on Monday, September 4 announced that Nigerians and other citizens, except British and Irish nationals, wishing to enter the country must apply for Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA). The new rule becomes effective from November 15, 2023, and applies to everyone, including children.

The new travel rule means that all visa applicants wishing to travel to the UK need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) card before they enter or transit through the country,

The UK home office said persons who need the travel permit are those who were previously eligible to visit the UK without a visa and not already legally resident in the UK.

Also listed for ETA are those on visits shorter than six months, business people, tourism, and those visiting family and friends. Applicants are required to apply online before booking any travel to the UK. Once granted, it will be valid for multiple journeys over two years or until the passport one is applying with expires.

According to the UK Home Office, travellers with valid visas may not be allowed to board without a valid ETA, as the ETA is digitally linked to travellers’ passports.

A statement from the UK office reads: “The UK travel requirements are changing. Except for British and Irish citizens, everyone, including children who enter or transit through the UK, will soon require permission before they travel.

"This means that if you were previously eligible to visit the UK without a visa and not already legally resident in the UK, you will need an electronic travel authorisation (ETA), your stay must be shorter than six months and could include tourism or visiting family and friends, transit, business, and short term study.

“You do not need to show a paper copy, but it may be helpful to prove the confirmation email for your own records while an ETA grants you permission to travel to the UK, it does not grant you entry. So, you would still need to go through passport control at the border to enter the UK.

“Make sure you show the same passport you used to apply for your ETA and that your passport is valid for the whole of your stay."

President Bola Tinubu has reiterated that he won't let the country fail.

The President who said this while receiving members of Tinubu Support Organisation (TSO) who paid him a solidarity visit at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, disclosed that he is carrying out a permanent transformation of the nation’s economy to an enduring prosperity.

Tinubu also promised to run an all-inclusive government where everyone would be given the opportunity to serve, especially those that worked for him.

He said;

“I have at this point assembled ministers to work toward achieving my goal of a progressive Nigeria.

“I am sure that they are capable of delivering on their primary assignment of rebuilding the Nigerian economy because I will remove anyone who fails, because I want results. I will always reward loyalty, excellence and hard work.”
