The question is, can the members children attend that school?

Definitely majority of them can't buy they shall still praise singing & clappingf hands or making sarcastic remarks of ....I shall never be poor in Life .....when in actual fact, they are actually wallowing in abject poverty!!!

olyrayy:
Are you joking? Covenant University graduates dominate the tech space in Nigeria.

And tell us the positive effect of that to the economy of Nigeri. Always praise singers!!!

Judemarco31:
Making moves to enact legislative law that will protect "Reforms" that are pushing more people into poverty. What kind of senseless individuals are these people?

Honestly & sensibly senseless!!!

Anambra Community Women Protest Killing Of 23-Year-Old Mmesoma Over Breakup, Demand Expulsion Of Ebonyi Indigenes | Sahara Reporters

Where then is the spirit of the so called Biafra movement if I may ask?

dgr8truth:
Nobody is disputing Fasoranti’s Yoruba identity or his commitment to the Yoruba cause. The issue is whether his legacy as a statesman should be reduced to ethnic championing and used as an opportunity to score political points. There is a difference between acknowledging a person's ethnic identity and making ethnicity the principal lens through which we evaluate his life and legacy.

As for Peter Obi, if you believe his campaign strategy is divisive, make that argument on its own merits. How does that justify turning the death of an elder statesman into an occasion for political triumphalism? Two wrongs do not make a right.

Besides, campaigning in markets or communities predominantly occupied by people from a particular ethnic background does not, in itself, prove that a candidate is promoting division.

My concern is that political actors and their supporters, across all regions, are increasingly exploiting ethnic and religious sentiments to mobilise ordinary Nigerians against one another. You may see it as harmless political banter, but the cumulative effect of such rhetoric can deepen mistrust and hostility among citizens who have far more in common than they realise.

We can celebrate Fasoranti as a Yoruba leader while also recognising his place in Nigeria’s broader political history. Surely, an elder statesman’s passing deserves more than an attempt to score points against a political opponent.

Why are you wasting your time with that type of writer for God's sake? He can't comprehend what you are saying. His type of person is found among almost all ethnic groups in Nigeria. They can't reason beyond their political enclave. Even they see others that disagree with them within their ethnic as enemies & bastards!!!. So better leave him alone & move on pls

CannibalEast:
Rest in peace baba rere, Baba alubarika

Yes Baba lived & died at a golden age of 100 years . That's a of Almighty God. But some of their actions & inactions got us to where we are right now. Nevertheless, may his Soul Rest In Peace.

Treasure17:
Nonsense. Let there be chaos if that's what will set Nigeria on the right part. The government of the Yoruba by the Yoruba and for the yoruba are destroying Nigeria.

How did you arrive at the above definition of I may ask?What special privileges are the average Yoruba person enjoying better than any other ethnic groups in this Government if I may ask? Think before posting nonsense on a Public Forum.

EyeCumInPeace:
Unfortunately this is the mentality of some Nigerians, & yet such Nigerians are vehemently against the emergence of Biafra.

What an irony!

Which Biafra? Is Biafra an Igbo name? It's not your fault but that of the real owners of the name that are not defending their heritage!!!

A video of veteran Nollywood actor Pete Edochie paying an emotional tribute to his longtime colleague and friend, Olu Jacobs, has been circulating widely on social media on Wednesday, drawing renewed attention to the painful loss of one of Nigeria’s most celebrated actors. The video captures Edochie describing Olu Jacobs as a brother who “fought like a soldier” and reflecting on the difficult final years of the late actor’s life.

Olu Jacobs died at the age of 84 in September 2026, with his family announcing his passing on September 16. The family described his life as one “well lived and fought” and asked the public to respect their privacy as they mourned.

His death came after years of serious health challenges. In 2021, his wife, veteran actress Joke Silva, publicly revealed that Olu Jacobs had been diagnosed with Dementia with Lewy Bodies, a progressive neurodegenerative condition. His health struggles had kept him largely away from the public eye in his later years.

Against that background, Pete Edochie’s words in the resurfaced video have taken on an even deeper emotional meaning. Edochie described Olu as a peaceful and humorous colleague and said he had fought through his difficulties with the courage of a soldier.

He also addressed Joke Silva directly, acknowledging the years of care and sacrifice she gave her husband, telling her, “Joke, you did your best.”

One of the most heartbreaking moments comes when Edochie recalls Olu Jacobs’ own words: “Your problems are firmly behind you.” He then reflects on the possibility that those who have passed away may one day recognize one another again, saying there is a possibility that he and Olu could meet again.

Edochie also spoke about Olu Jacobs’ remarkable longevity, noting that among their senior colleagues who had passed on, Olu was the one who lived beyond 80. He said that while Nigerians must mourn his death, they should also celebrate the life he lived and the legacy he left behind.

The veteran actor further expressed a touching wish that one of Olu Jacobs’ children would take up acting, so that seeing that child on screen would remind people of the legendary actor and the contribution he made to Nollywood.

The emotional video comes as tributes continue to pour in following the death of the man widely regarded as one of the major figures in Nigerian theatre, television and film. Olu Jacobs’ career spanned decades, including work in Britain and Nigeria, and he was honoured with the national award of Member of the Order of the Federal Republic (MFR).

Watch the emotional resurfaced video as Pete Edochie remembers his “brother” Olu Jacobs, speaks about Joke Silva’s six-year ordeal, and delivers a moving farewell that has left many fans reflecting on the lives and legacies of Nigeria’s veteran actors.

Going by Pete Edochie emotional tribute, one keeps wondering why all of us can not live peacefully with one another in this country!!!. I therefore indeed agreed with Prof Ifemesia (formerly of History Dept, University of Nigeria, Nsukka) who once said that....what unites us in Nigeria is greater than what divides is....Rest on Pa Olu Jacob & my condolences once again to Joke & the children!!!

Lagos APC expels Mudasiru Obasa's loyalists in Agege.

The expelled members had contested the APC primaries for seats in the Lagos House of Assembly, but they did not get the tickets, so they went to obtain the tickets on the APM platform. Honourable Cornelius Ojelabi is chairman of the Lagos chapter of the APC.

At long last!!!. May his soul rest in peace. My condolences to Joke & the children in particular.

njokuuche77:
Saying "Tinubu doesn't fix prices" ignores how governance works.
He doesn't hold the fuel pump, but his administration's policies completely dictate the price.

Economic Directives: He announced "Subsidy is gone" on Day 1 and floated the Naira, which caused the exchange rate crash that directly pushed landed costs of fuel to these heights.

Dual Role: He chose to remain the substantive Minister of Petroleum, meaning the sector's failures are his direct portfolio.

Constitutional Duty: The primary purpose of any government is the welfare of its citizens. When policy failures make food, transport, and school fees unaffordable, the leader takes responsibility. The number one seat isn't for decoration.

Make una no dey support nonsense abeg

God bless you my brother for this beautiful & detailed response!!!.
You are too much for this generation my brother.

Obiedun:
God forbid. If I were Tinubu I will never stoop so low to be interviewed by you.
The Bible says:
Give not what is holy to dog, cast not your pearl before swine.

Who does he think he is to interview eminent personalities like PBAT & Atiku for God's sake?. Dr Abati & some few other journalists we know but who is he if I may ask?

YouandiAllofus:
He will be humiliated at the polls next year in a resounding defeat and he will have no other option but to retire from active politics together with his imaginary shattered ambition of becoming president.

ThenYSC. Good luck

At 58 ?
Who knows if he has any investment or assets left in Nigeria.
Or maybe he is true calling is actually in SA.

May God comfort the family

Which true calling my friend? That's bourgeois mentality l. Does Bible teach stupidity?
Yes, I have read some stories about some early Christian Missionaries that gave up their lives in foreign lands where they were evangelising. Be T the hat was in the olden days.
Even if his calling is SA, there are ways & other methods to reach them these days!!!

I am just wondering what the Bishop was still evangelising in South Africa at that moment if my for collection of more Rands?
I believe Nigerian Rural Areas need more evangelism than SA. My thoughts though. Any way may his Soul RIP.

nairalandankrah:
Diplomatic statements from Chief Femi Fani-Kayode and local Nigerian community leads confirmed that the bishop received direct, targeted threats ordering him to cease operations or vacate prior to the September 4th attack. The fact that two men subsequently broke into his Kensington home and fired over seven shots at close range—rather than prioritizing theft—leads many analysts and community leaders to view his refusal to comply with those threats as the trigger for his targeted execution.

Honestly speaking, one would have expected all South Africa Businesses & Companies in Nigeria to have been shut down by now but then this is an election year, so election campaigns are the order of the Day!!!

Cyberterror:
The agulu fraudster is also a shameless man who has never visited and condoled with victims of IPOB terrorists attacks in his own state and region but want to do 'good face' elsewhere.

Moreover, he seems to me a coward politically. If it was a Yoruba man that behaves cowardly like that, this thread would have been over 10,000 pages by now!!!

grandstar:
This article left a lot of names out.

I am certain Attahuri Jega, former INEC boss, achieved the same feat when he was im his 30s.

And what impact did that has for for the common man in Nigeria if I may ask?

Funny thing is that they'll still not learn their lessons.

Thank it happened in Enugu he at as a 29 year old boy beheaded his father recently in the same Sadeast!!!.

Seeplusplus:
If you grew up in the 90s and 2000s, you'll have to agree with Francis Duru.

Apart from Omotola and a few other Yoruba names, the entire Nollywood was dominated by the Igbos.

Unfortunately for them, that era saw a huge boom in the piracy business

Somehow, the Igbos have lost grip on the entertainment industry and they are now spectators.

Yoruba people are so good.

They are not into cho Cho Cho like the Igbos. They are very strategic.

All we now see from them is WORKINGS

And remember that. .every spectator is either a coward or a traitor- Frances Fanon

Definitely all of us shall eat breakfast (apologies to Taiwo Hassan of blessed memory). When the time comes, we shall know what to do with this useless NYSC Scheme wey is not even compulsory for any political positions. I come in peace though!!!

ManirBK:
You've spoken the truth that many are afraid to say.

The rich don't suffer. Their children don't suffer. They get their certificates through connections while the children of the poor risk their lives on bandit-infested roads.

Should NYSC be scrapped?

Maybe not entirely – but it definitely needs radical reform. We cannot continue to send young graduates to dangerous locations without proper security, welfare, or protection.

Until the government can guarantee the safety of corps members, they should suspend postings to high-risk areas. And until the children of politicians serve the same way everyone else does, the program will remain deeply unfair.

We need change. 🇳🇬

While I sympathise with the kidnapped NYSC & their families, the truth is that most of them equally loves the chains that are on their necks judging from the way they reveal their identities on Social media forgetting that the NYSC Acronym could equally be interpreted as ....Now Your Suffering Continues....!!!. I come in peace ooo.
