On Friday, Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, officially unveiled Dr. George Moghalu as the party’s standard-bearer for the upcoming Anambra State governorship election scheduled for November 8, 2025.

The campaign flag-off event, held in Onitsha, also served as a platform for Obi to restate his ambition to run for president in 2027. He expressed confidence in his qualifications and vision, positioning himself as the most credible among current presidential hopefuls.

“Let me remind you that I am contesting for President in 2027, and I am serious about it,” Obi declared. “Everyone has the right to contest, but none of them has better credentials than I do. I have the backing of senators, representatives, and others who believe in my vision.”

Turning to the state-level election, Obi called on Anambra residents to throw their support behind Dr. Moghalu, whom he praised as a competent, compassionate leader committed to delivering impactful governance.

“Governance for me is about empathy and compassion, about caring for the poor and petty traders — the same people the government taxes,” Obi said. “Dr. Moghalu is prepared to govern with those values in mind. I urge you to support him.”

Obi also addressed rumors suggesting he had left the Labour Party to join the African Democratic Congress (ADC), clarifying that their alliance with ADC is strictly for strategic collaboration ahead of the 2027 general election.

“I remain a Labour Party member, as are all our members at both state and national levels. We are here today for this symbolic flag-off of the campaign for our LP flagbearer, Dr. George Moghalu,” he affirmed.

In his remarks, Obi strongly endorsed the party’s deputy governorship candidate, Mrs. Ifeoma Okaro, noting that her selection reflects LP’s commitment to family-centered leadership and gender inclusion.

“She is not only popular but organized,” he added. “We believe her presence will further enhance our commitment to caring for families.”

Dr. Moghalu, while addressing supporters, pledged to lead with integrity and a deep sense of responsibility.

“If we begin to list everything we plan to do, we’ll sleep here,” he said. “But I can assure you that my deputy and I will serve Anambra with dedication and integrity. Children will return to school, roads will be built, agriculture will thrive, and we will not disappoint.”

He also vowed to implement a humane tax policy, assuring citizens that his government would not exploit them.

“People will pay taxes, but not with pestles,” Moghalu quipped. “We will not oppress our people. Every promise we’ve made will be fulfilled.”

Senators Victor Umeh (Anambra Central) and Tony Nwonye (Anambra North) also pledged their full support for Moghalu’s candidacy, expressing optimism that Labour Party would emerge victorious at the polls.

With the campaign now officially underway, political observers are watching closely to see whether Obi’s popularity and Moghalu’s pledges will resonate with voters and lead the LP to victory in Anambra’s 2025 gubernatorial race.

Summary:

A hilarious phone conversation between a Nigerian man and a PalmPay loan agent has gone viral. The agent called to demand repayment for an overdue loan, but the man responded with witty comebacks, turning the serious call into a comedy. From joking about TikTok trends to mocking the loan interest, the man's replies left viewers in stitches. The video has since trended widely on social media, drawing laughs from many.

Currently trending is a video of a hilarious exchange between a Nigerian man and PalmPay, a popular loan app in Nigeria.

In the video, a customer service representative from the app calls the man to remind him that his loan repayment is overdue by two weeks. But instead of panicking, the man decides to engage her in a comical conversation.

As the lady tries to inform him that the call is being recorded, the man cheekily asks, "Will it be posted on TikTok after the recording?" Unbothered, the customer care agent continues, reminding him that his loan is actually two months overdue and he hasn't even paid the interest. The man quickly responds, "Even my landlord called yesterday to say my rent is two months late. Is this a new TikTok trend?"

The agent replies, "You're not the first person whose landlord has said that, and that’s not my business. My concern is with the money you owe the bank."

After a few more back-and-forths, the agent tells him he agreed to the terms and conditions when taking the loan, and they have the records. The man fires back, "But in your advert, you said if someone borrows ₦15,000, they only have to pay back ₦15,050. Now you're asking me to pay ₦20,000 interest on a ₦15,000 loan. Will you also post that recording online?"

At this point, the customer care agent becomes agitated and threatens that if he doesn't repay the loan, the company will begin its recovery process—which includes freezing his bank account and possibly his phone.

Suddenly, the man goes quiet. The lady, noticing the silence, keeps asking, "Hello? Are you there?"

He then responds calmly, "I dey there na. I don start the freezing. By the way, if una freeze my account, nothing dey inside wey una fit freeze—na empty vacuum."

Furious at his response, the agent snaps, "Excuse me, are you mad?"
To which the man replies, "Nope. And you?"

You just have to watch this video to get the full dose of laughter! It's been trending across social media platforms and cracking everyone up.

Nature can be very brutal....May God help us all. All is well

Treasure17:
Sometimes words betray your good intension. In that kind of scenario where her husband is present, he should have applied discretion. Or you compliment the couple to avoid unnecessary drama. A woman called me sweetheart in the presence of her husband, his countenance changed and said which one is sweetheart bayi.

I once witnessed a similar scenario at a popular mall. The guy in charge of the shawarma section was telling a woman, “Ah, madam, you are so beautiful. I like your this and that...” Meanwhile, her husband was standing right behind us.

I was beside the woman, waiting to place my order. It felt kind of funny to me, and a lot of thoughts started running through my mind — especially because he was whispering it.

I got my order first and left. I don't know if the husband heard or reacted, but honestly, I felt it was kinda creepy.

People should learn to keep quiet sometimes, especially when a lady is with her man.
You may mean no harm, but the guy might see it as you trying to flirt with his woman. People think differently, and levels of maturity vary.

Summary:

An Indian man went off on Popeyes employees after they called his wife "beautiful," sparking a viral confrontation. Despite the workers claiming it was just a compliment, the man snapped, saying, "This is not India, you're in the States." The situation drew mixed reactions online — some called it disrespectful, others saw no harm.

💬 What would you do if someone complimented your wife like that?

A dramatic scene was captured on camera as an Indian customer became visibly upset after some Popeyes employees complimented his wife by calling her beautiful.

The man, who didn’t find the comment amusing, quickly drew attention with his angry reaction, prompting others to step in and calm the situation. The employees tried to explain that it was just a harmless compliment, but the man firmly shut them down, saying, “This is not India, you are in the States.”

The employees were eventually asked to apologize.

The viral video sparked a wave of mixed reactions online, with many people sharing different opinions.

Some supported the man, arguing that it was inappropriate and disrespectful to compliment a married woman — especially in front of her husband — and felt it came off as flirtatious. They insisted that such compliments should be reserved for single women, not someone who is clearly married.

Others, however, didn’t see a problem, suggesting that the issue depends on the tone and intention behind the comment.

So, here’s the big question:
What would you do if another man told your wife she is beautiful?

Aregbesola lands in Lagos — and the crowd goes wild. The 2027 coalition is real. Watch the moment members of the coalition welcomed him .....

A large crowd was seen cheering Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola today at the Lagos Airport as members of the newly formed coalition came out in full force to welcome him.

It is no longer news that prominent Nigerian politicians have united to form a powerful coalition aimed at unseating President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections.

Key political figures such as Peter Obi, Nasir El-Rufai, Atiku Abubakar, and Rotimi Amaechi are among the heavyweights backing this movement. Former Senate President David Mark is also actively involved in the alliance.

With this growing momentum, many are now asking: Can the African Democratic Congress (ADC), through this coalition, successfully take power from the ruling APC in 2027?

Summary:
A Nigerian female doctor has raised alarm over a sharp rise in HIV cases in Lagos and Abuja, based on data shared at a recent medical symposium. She revealed that HIV prevalence has jumped from about 50% in 2020 to over 75% in some reports, urging everyone—regardless of marital status—to get tested regularly. She emphasized that even protection may not always be reliable and stressed the importance of getting tested every six months to stay safe and informed.

A Nigerian female doctor has raised serious concerns over the recent surge in HIV cases in Abuja and Lagos.

Speaking out, she said, “This is an advice from me to you: if you're in any sexual relationship with anyone, please go to the hospital as you are watching this video and request a test for HIV.” She added, “The rate of HIV now in Lagos and in Abuja is overwhelming.”

According to her, she recently attended a symposium organized exclusively for doctors. At the event, an NGO that conducts HIV screenings presented data collected from hospitals across the country. Each hospital submitted their records of HIV-positive patients, and the results were alarming. She recalled that the prevalence rate was around 5% in 2020, but it has now reportedly skyrocketed to over 75%. This suggests, she emphasized, that approximately one in every ten people may now be living with HIV. Statistics, she said, indicate that the highest rates are found in Lagos and Abuja.

In her words, “Sometimes, protection doesn't help. I don't want to go into detail, but the whole essence of this video is that, if you're in a sexual relationship with someone, it doesn't matter if the person is your husband, it doesn't matter if the person is your wife. If your husband could have side chicks, if your wife could have side niggas, your girlfriend could have other boyfriends, your boyfriend could have other girlfriends — you know, I will just advise you to carry two legs and go to the nearest laboratory and test for HIV. It's better to know early, to know if you have it or not. And if you do not have it, be more careful because it is rampant and it's spreading rapidly. I am telling you that it is very bad. That symposium was something where the figures they gave were built on evidence.”

Continuing, she urged, “So please, it doesn't matter if you're married. You don't know what your husband is doing, you don't know what your wife is doing. You only know yourself — you don't know your partner. You can't know them too well like that. And even if you know them, this is something that should be done every six months. Please go to the nearest laboratory, go and test for HIV…”

She encouraged viewers to watch the full video and take her advice seriously. Recounting more of what she learned, she said there had been about a 50% increase in HIV cases from the previous year.

In her closing remarks, she stressed: “Before entering any sexual relationship, please always go for an HIV test. Sometimes, protection may fail in preventing HIV transmission, so we need to be extremely careful.”

Summary:
Adewale Kudabo, a Nigerian healthcare worker in the UK, was sentenced to 12 months in prison for sexually assaulting a female patient at York Hospital. He kissed the patient without her consent on two occasions while she was under his care. Kudabo pleaded guilty, expressed remorse, and has since lost his job. The case has raised renewed concerns about patient safety and safeguarding measures within the NHS.

Adewale Kudabo, a 40-year-old former healthcare assistant at York Hospital, has been sentenced to 12 months in prison after admitting to sexually assaulting a patient under his care.

On the first day of his trial in April, Kudabo pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual assault. His sentencing took place on June 10, during which Judge Alex Menary emphasized that Kudabo had “abused the trust” entrusted to him as a healthcare professional. As per the sentence, he will be eligible for release after serving half of his term.

The incidents occurred while Kudabo was employed by the York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. He had been assigned to bathe a female patient who was experiencing considerable pain. According to Prosecutor Henry Fernandez, after completing the bath, Kudabo proceeded to kiss the patient on the lips without her consent. Due to her discomfort and limited mobility, she was unable to avoid the unwanted contact.

“The patient was left feeling confused and uncomfortable,” Fernandez informed the court.

Several days later, Kudabo allegedly offered the same patient another “bed bath” and made a second attempt to kiss her, which caused further distress and anxiety. The court was told that the victim has since suffered from anxiety and flashbacks stemming from the incidents.

In response, the York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust issued a “sincere apology” to the victim and confirmed that Kudabo had left his position shortly after the allegations emerged.

During mitigation, Kudabo’s legal representative, Jerry Sodipe, noted that his client had expressed genuine remorse and had no prior criminal record. “He has accepted full responsibility and admitted guilt,” Sodipe stated. He further explained that Kudabo had relocated to the United Kingdom from Nigeria with his family in order to work, but has now lost his employment due to the conviction.

Judge Menary highlighted the severity of the breach of professional duty, telling Kudabo: “The victim placed her trust in you. You abused that trust.”

The case has reignited concerns regarding patient safeguarding across NHS facilities and has drawn attention to the systems designed to protect vulnerable individuals receiving medical care.

Short Summary:

Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia has advised against self-defence, warning that it could worsen insecurity. He recommends community policing as a more effective alternative and praised federal support in boosting intelligence efforts. However, his comments—made during a trending AIT interview—have drawn widespread criticism online, especially since figures like CDS Musa recently supported community self-protection. Alia also blamed internal APC divisions for adding to the state’s instability and called for unity.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVHfZNqUTlc?si=xcdSkjWf1gBeS9mr

Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, has urged citizens not to rely on self-defence as a way to deal with the rising insecurity in the state. He warned that allowing untrained people to confront armed attackers could only make the situation worse.

Instead of that approach, Governor Alia is promoting community policing as a smarter and more lasting solution to the crisis.

While addressing the issue, he said people should not rush into using weapons, warning:

“I cautiously advise my citizenry that it is not advisable to simply pick up knives, machetes, and sticks to fight. There are ongoing conversations around community policing; I am one of the governors who projected it.”

He made these remarks during an interview on Focus Nigeria, a programme aired on African Independent Television (AIT) on Tuesday.

The governor added:

“Let me begin with my concerns. You need to be trained to understand the dynamics of fighting guerrilla warfare. The Constitution permits all of us to defend ourselves, but to what extent?”

Alia explained that community policing gives room for locals—who are already familiar with the area—to support security efforts in a more effective way.

“With community policing, it becomes easier to identify those who understand the terrain and can be mobilised to join the ranks of the community police,” he said.

He also noted that help from the federal government, especially in terms of intelligence gathering, has boosted the state’s ability to go after those responsible for the violence.

“With the federal government’s continued support now through intelligence finding and searching, I think we are going to do even more. We will identify those people, apprehend them, and create a new narrative for our three local governments and, in fact, the state,” he said.

However, the governor’s comments have sparked strong reactions online. The interview video is currently trending and has gone viral, with many social media users expressing anger and disappointment. Critics argue that Governor Alia’s stance is out of touch—especially after notable figures like Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, recently advocated for community self-protection as a necessary step to end the continuous killings in Benue State.

In addition to the insecurity, Alia pointed to internal divisions within the Benue State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as another major challenge.

“There is another layer to the challenges we have in the state here. The non-cooperation of some so-called major stakeholders, the disunity and disharmony within the ruling APC camp in the state, is quite unfortunate,” he said.
“There are some people who have been disgruntled and are yet to get back into the fold.”

He mentioned that President Bola Tinubu has advised APC members in the state to resolve their disagreements for the sake of peace and development.

In conclusion, Governor Alia firmly repeated his opposition to self-defence efforts, saying they may be driven by emotion, but won’t solve the problem.

Summary:

Vishwashkumar Ramesh, the only survivor of a tragic Air India crash that killed over 270 people, described the terrifying moment the plane failed to take off properly and crashed into a building in Ahmedabad. Ramesh, who lost his brother in the accident, escaped through an open door and walked away in shock with burn injuries. He later called his family, still unsure how he survived. Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited him in the hospital, where doctors confirmed he was stable and recovering well. His survival stunned onlookers as he limped to the ambulance.

The only person who survived the tragic Air India crash, Vishwashkumar Ramesh, described the terrifying moment the plane failed to take off properly—and his complete disbelief at surviving it.

Ramesh, a British citizen with Indian roots, was on board the flight bound for London. The plane crashed just moments after departing from Ahmedabad, a city in northwestern India, on Thursday afternoon. Tragically, 241 people on the aircraft lost their lives, along with at least 29 people on the ground. By late Friday, rescue workers had found 25 more bodies in the wreckage.

This crash is now considered one of India’s deadliest aviation disasters. It was also the first crash involving a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner since the aircraft was introduced in 2009, according to the Aviation Safety Network.

Speaking from a government hospital, Ramesh told India’s national broadcaster what he remembered. According to him, the aircraft seemed to freeze in the air just seconds after takeoff. He recalled green and white lights flashing and the engines roaring, but the plane failed to climb. It then crashed into a residential building that housed a medical college hostel.

He witnessed the horrifying sight of passengers and crew members dying around him. His own brother, who was traveling with him, was among those who didn’t survive.

Ramesh had been seated in seat 11A. That part of the plane slammed into the ground floor of the building. After the impact, he quickly unbuckled his seatbelt and managed to push himself out through a nearby open door.

“When I opened my eyes, I couldn’t believe I was still alive,” he said. He remembered seeing pieces of the destroyed plane scattered all around.

Though injured, especially with burns on his left hand, Ramesh somehow walked away from the crash site—still in shock. A few local residents saw him and helped him reach an ambulance, which rushed him to the hospital.

Back home, his family was in turmoil. His other brother, Nayan Kumar Ramesh, told Sky News that Ramesh had video-called their father shortly after the crash. “He said, ‘The plane crashed. I can’t find my brother. I don’t see any passengers. I don’t even know how I’m alive or how I got out,’” Nayan recalled.

Ramesh also contacted relatives in Leicester, UK. His cousin, Ajay Valgi, said Ramesh only told the family that he was okay. "He just said he's fine—nothing more," Valgi said. Ramesh is married and has a young son. The family, while thankful for his survival, remains heartbroken over the loss of his brother.

India’s Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, visited the crash site on Friday. He also met Ramesh in the hospital. “I told him what I saw,” said Ramesh. “He asked me about my health.”

According to Dr. Dhaval Gameti, Ramesh had multiple injuries and was initially confused but was now stable and out of danger. He even kept his boarding pass with him while in the hospital.

“He’s recovering well and could be discharged very soon,” Dr. Gameti confirmed.

Eyewitnesses were stunned to see the lone survivor—bruised, burned, but alive—limping his way to the ambulance that carried him away from the scene of so much tragedy.
