OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS

Our attention has been drawn to the recent false rumors alleging that Senator Prince Ned Munir Nwoko is planning to marry Nollywood actress Chika Ike as his seventh wife and that she is pregnant for him. We categorically state that these claims are entirely baseless and a product of malicious speculation. Similarly, reports claiming he made statements about Tuface and polygamy are completely untrue. As a public figure and with his wife also being an actress, it is not unusual for bloggers seeking attention to fabricate such stories. However, Senator Nwoko is currently on a national assignment, focused on delivering on his political mandate, and has no time for distractions. This office remains available to journalists for verification of information, and we remind media practitioners of the consequences of spreading fake news. The public is advised to disregard these rumors and rely only on official statements from his office.

Signed
Director of Communications
Office of Senator Prince Ned Munir Nwoko

Of course Ned can’t be the father of your child. You are not his type. He likes them young and very smooth skinned.

AMINDA:
Yes, same one. Going by your logic, it's safe to say that Sanwo-olu and even Tinubu are irrelevant and worked against themselves by supporting Obi, since they lost Lagos in a relatively free and fair election. They only managed to win the gubernatorial through voter suppression and by invoking tribal sentiments. Buhari, Ribadu, Ganduje et al lost their states to Atiku, but out of all these people, it's only Elrufai (his most vocal Northern champion) whom you guys accuse of working against Tinubu, just to provide justification for your betrayal.

When are you guys going to admit that Tinubu was grossly unpopular in 2023 and now, even more so (he's been tested now and found lacking). He[b] won with the least margin ever in Nigeria's political history. Despite all these, the numbers still show that the core North delivered Tinubu through the margins he got, at the time when even most Yorubas were too timid to openly support his campaign for fear of obidients (5.5m out of his 8.3m total was from the North.

Tinubu does not even have the entire Southern base in his grip and could only salvage 4 out of 6 states in the Southwest, 1 state out of 6 in the Southsouth (Rivers state under questionable circumstances) and zero state in the Southeast. It wasn’t the Northern minorities that made Tinubu president (they mostly voted Obi in protest of muslim-muslim ticket). It was the Northern majority (despite splitting their votes 3 ways between Tinubu, a very formidable Northern Atiku and to a lesser extent, Kwankwaso who still got over a million votes). Numbers don't lie.

Tinubu would have been better off consolidating on his Northern base, not thinking he could replace the Northern majority with the minorities. To totally get the votes of Northern minorities, Tinubu will have to change his muslim-muslim ticket (suicide) or get CAN and all the pastors to endorse his muslim-muslim ticket (a set trap), all while improving on the economy[/b].

Two Female Job Seekers Rescued From Human Part Dealers In Port Harcourt

Two female job seekers from Delta State has been rescued from human parts dealers in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

Focus Naija can report that this was disclosed by ace human right activist, Isreal Joe who assisted in the rescue of the job seekers simply identified as Blessing and Praise.

According to Isreal Joe, the two ladies were lured with a job offer to Bayelsa State before they were redirected to Port Harcourt for the job opening.

Arriving Port Harcourt, the two ladies unknowingly boarded a mini bus where two of the male occupants subdued them with guns and took them to a destination unknown to them.

Thereafter, the kidnappers contacted their family members and demanded for five million naira ransom or the young ladies would be butchered and their parts sold to raise the money.

Miraculously, the human part dealers who had already stripped and butchered another lady in front of their captives suddenly developed cold feet after stripping them for butchering as well.

They however demanded for N200,000 which was crowd funded and paid into a business POS account provided by the dealers.
To God be the glory, they released the two job seekers while slaughtering and separating the body parts of other victims for sale.

See the old fool that wants to split Delta, and become governor of Anioma. Useless pig.

He doesn't care if we will begin to sit at home.

He doesn't care about the insecurity that we are experiencing from the igbo criminals running from soludo.

He doesn't care about the rampant kidnapping in Ogwashi, Azagba Ogawashi, Isele Ukwu, and some parts of Asaba.

He doesn't care about executing his constituency projects.

Al he cares about is creating a looting channel by wanting to add We Anioma to the east.


Did we beg you? Did we complain of marginalization? Is power not being equally shared? Fool!!!

Iweakbro:
Foolish idiot. I am from Oshimili North LGA. Atuma to be precise. I am saying the mind of we Anioma people. Walk on the street of Asaba or anywhere and ask an Anioma man what he thinks about the state creation and listen for yourself.

Nollywood actress Regina Daniels and her billionaire husband, Ned Nwoko seem to be going through marital troubles as speculations of a new wife arise.

Regina, who recently returned from London after attending the premiere of Ayo Makun’s movie The Waiter, has unexpectedly deactivated her Instagram page.

A swift confirmation by Gistreel revealed that her account was no longer accessible but may be restored sooner or later.


Adding to the speculation, the actress did not publicly celebrate her husband’s recent political move to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Observers also noted that she had stopped posting about him and had not been engaging with his social media updates.

Amid the ongoing rumors, reports claim that actress Chika Ike, who recently announced her pregnancy with maternity photos, has welcomed a child allegedly fathered by Nwoko. According to online sources, Chika is now set to replace Regina and move into the billionaire’s mansion.

Controversial blogger Gistlover fueled the speculation with a cryptic post, stating:
“Hello Tueh Tueh, GLB Nation! Wahala don happen! Another senior actress don born for billionaire, little billionaire wife don run comot for Instagram. Ah, which kind wahala be this?”

While Regina Daniels and Ned Nwoko have yet to address the rumors, the sudden social media disappearance of the actress has only intensified public curiosity about the state of their marriage.

Girls/ladies should stop walking about, they should leave men alone, except you are courting someone.

We in nairaland.com should educate our female relatives and neighbours, let's inform them on what is happening in Nigeria now.
They are doing organ harvesting, forest between River State and Owerri, River State and Abia state is full of dead bodies, they sell people's body parts to doctors.

Organ harvesting is the yahoo yahoo in Nigeria, be careful, trust no one, everybody is a suspect.

Let's educate people around us, kidnapping and killing is going on everyday in Nigeria.

Why has Tinubu not sentenced this people to death by hanging, is suspicious, how can a president not do anything to people that are caught with human parts?

We need to impeachment Tinubu for this offence, they should let Nigerians know if they are the ones sending them, if they are not, why are they still alive?

Why has he refused to sign there death warrant.

Nigerians should better wakeup,
Nigeria politicians will not allow Nigerians have a life, why?

Everthing is expensive, security not guaranteed again in Nigeria.
Everybody is quiet as if everything is OK, we need to take this issue seriously.
Nigerians have a right to live and not be killed by ritualists.

If Tinubu is not ready to kill this people by firing squad, he should resign.
Why are we quiet over this issue?
Why?

Nobody knows the next victim,
People are kidnapped in River State forest, if parents don't meet up, the victim is killed and there body parts sold.

Nigerians wake up from sleep, there is fire on the mountain, nobody knows who will be there next victim

However, the Northern minorities distanced themselves from the plot to oust Tinubu.

One of the notable northern minority groups, the Middle Belt Forum, stated that the region had decided to support a southern presidency in 2027.

The MBF argued that the region had received a better deal under the current administration than under former President Muhammadu Buhari, despite prevailing economic hardships.

According to the MBF’s spokesman, Luka Binniyat, the Middle Belt has secured more political appointments at thenational level and more infrastructural projects than under the previous government.

Sunday PUNCH noted that Middle Belt indigenes in Tinubu’s administration include the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume (Benue State), and the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social Development, Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda (Plateau State).

“We are having a better deal under Bola Tinubu than under Buhari, even though we are all experiencing economic hardship like everyone else.

“The Middle Belt Forum, for sure, still stands for a southern presidency in 2027. So, it is up to President Tinubu to up his game to attract the Middle Belt when an alternative candidate emerges in 2027,” Binniyat said.

Similarly, indigenous Hausa Christians of Northern Nigeria dissociated themselves from the plot to remove Tinubu in 2027, stating that they would not be pressured into making a decision that could negatively impact the social well- being of their people.

According to the Christian group, Tinubu’s administration had demonstrated a commitment to addressing the insecurity that has plagued many northern states.

“All we want at the moment is inclusivity, as we have many qualified individuals and seasoned politicians capable of holding political office.

“Instead of calling for the President’s removal in 2027, we are urging him to consider some of our people for appointments, as we refuse to inherit anyone’s enemies,” said the National Chairman of the group, Daniel Musa.

Some indigenes of Plateau State also declared support for Tinubu’s second term. Speaking with Sunday PUNCH under the auspices of the Plateau Initiative for the Development and Advancement of the Natives in Jos, the indigenes acknowledged the President’s contributions to the development of their region. The association’sSecretary General, Dickson Auta, said,

“He (Tinubu) has indeed shown that he is a detribalised leader because he has been striving to spread developmental projects across every part of the country.

“Our people are only concerned about good governance, and if Mr President continues on this developmental path, I am sure our people will have no choice but to support his ambition in 2027 should he decide to run for a second term.

In fact, we are already supporting him.” Also, the Southern Kaduna People’s Union commended Tinubu for appointing individuals from Southern Kaduna to key positions.

A spokesperson for SOKAPU, Josiah Abraks, cited the appointment of Gen. Christopher Musa as Chief of Defence Staff and the establishment of the Federal University of Applied Science, Kachia, as examples of the President’s inclusivity, which has benefited the people of Southern Kaduna.

“The southern part of Kaduna is willing to partner with whoever is ready to work with us to ensure our growth and development,” he added.

I did this, I am from Rivers State I didn’t see any DNA match who is Igbo.

I matched a lot of Deltans, Bayelsans, Rivers, Some carribean people etc.

But 0 everybody else.

Admittedly I saw 1 Fulani and a few Yorubas but that’s through marriage of my 4th great grand mothers sister on my mothers side that sister had a child who probably married a fulani or Hausa or someone who would later give his or her children Arabic names but in my results I am 0% Yoruba 0% Hausa 0% fulani 0% Igbo

99.7% Ijaw
0.3% unassigned

So igbo people, Rivers state is not Igbo. Thank you.

They should pull down that community they call Cable Point in Asaba. Go to Oduke and Bonsaac areas. These are the hide out of these criminals in Asaba .

They are mainly from across the Niger. If I become the governor of that state, I will make I sure I chase them out of that State

You know what is funny?

I thought about someone reporting Davido to this man then I went to check the age of Oyetola. It is possible to have a nephew who is your mate but the minister and Tinubu are just 2 years apart. The Governor is somehow cheeky for reminding us that they are nephews, it has a political undertone

Thanks 4 the link. See some of the comments below.

So basically the difference is that you can open and fund the account from abroad. But they need your proof of income and proof of residence.

My take is that it will make it easier for governments to keep track of you and your money and I don't think that's smart.
There is a reason people put their monies in Swiss accounts

PressMyButton:
The Asagba of Asaba in Delta State, HRM Obi Prof. Epiphany Azinge SAN, has banned the activities of ‘Eze-Nwanyi’ (female native doctors/goddesses) and other unregulated traditional practitioners.

The decision comes amid concerns that these groups are fueling criminal activities, including kidnappings and ritual-related crimes.

The palace maintained it was a decisive move to curb rising crime in Asaba and its environs.

The announcement follows reports linking native doctors and shrines in Asaba to the murder of an Anambra lawmaker, Justice Azuka, whose body was discovered on the Niger Bridge.

The Asagba, addressing a press conference, expressed grave concern over the situation, stating, “Anything that happens on this land affects us more than anyone else.

It is unacceptable that Asaba has become a hub for these nefarious activities. Consequently, we have decided to take proactive steps to restore peace and order.”

Ban on Female Native Doctors, Shrine Restrictions

The monarch emphasised that many of these practitioners are not of Asaba origin and have taken over the land with criminal motives.

“We have banned the activities of Eze-Nwanyi, who are not of Asaba extraction and are unknown to us. Their activities, I dare say, are nefarious.

“With the recent revelations linking an Anambra lawmaker’s murder to Asaba-based native doctors and shrines, it is clear that they are not just supporting ‘Yahoo Yahoo’ fraudsters but are also involved in kidnappings. From today, they are banned,” he declared.

Additionally, all native doctors operating in Asaba must now register and be regulated under the authority of the Otu-Ihaza, the legislative body of Asaba.
The monarch also restricted visits to the Onishe shrine, citing desecration concerns. “That place is being desecrated. People go there for all sorts of reasons. Henceforth, nobody, whether from Asaba or not, may visit the shrine without the approval of the Otu-Ihaza.”

Operation ‘Know Your Tenants

Highlighting the rapid and unmonitored influx of strangers into Asaba, the Asagba introduced Operation Know Your Tenants, mandating landlords to document and keep an inventory of their tenants.

“We do not even know who lives in Asaba anymore. Criminals see Asaba as a safe haven. We are now declaring Operation Know Your Tenants.

“Every landlord must have proper documentation of their tenants so that at any time, we can account for who resides where,” he added.

The monarch urged property owners to cooperate, warning that security measures would be tightened to identify and expel criminal elements.

Hotel Surveillance

Further, the palace will deploy a special task force to hotels across Asaba to inspect guest records.

“We will be going round hotels to check their guest lists. The palace is already collaborating with security agencies to ensure that those using hotels for criminal hideouts are exposed,” he asserted.

The Asagba reaffirmed his support for government efforts in tackling insecurity but stressed that traditional institutions must also take an active role in protecting their communities.

“We stand with the government at all times, but there comes a moment when we must be more proactive. Asaba must not become a breeding ground for crime,” he concluded

Watch moment man is swallowed by humpback whale

A humpback whale briefly trapped a kayaker in its mouth off Chilean Patagonia before quickly releasing him unharmed.

Adrián Simancas was kayaking with his father, Dell Simancas, when the massive whale suddenly surfaced, trapping the young man and his yellow kayak in its mouth for a few seconds before letting him go.

Dell, just meters away, captured the moment on video while encouraging his son to stay calm.

"I thought it had eaten me and swallowed me", Adrián said.

seunowa:
The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved a $45.3 million contract for the feasibility study and engineering design of a rail route linking four seaports in Nigeria’s western region—Badagry Deep Sea Port, Tin Can Seaport, Apapa Seaport, and Lekki Seaport—to the hinterlands.

The Minister of Transportation, Saidu Alkali disclosed this on Tuesday during the Global Business Report on Arise News, where a clip of his remarks was aired.

Nairametrics obtained the information from the broadcast, noting that the approval was granted during the FEC meeting on Monday, February 3, 2025.

Alkali explained that the proposed rail alignment will run from Badagry Deep Sea Port to Tin Can Seaport, Apapa Seaport, Lekki Seaport, Ijebu-Ode, and Kajola, where it will connect to the Lagos-Kano-Maradi Railway Modernization Project. The goal, he said, is to integrate the western seaports into the national rail network to boost freight movement and economic growth.

“The Federal Executive Council has granted approval for detailed feasibility studies and the engineering design of a proposed route alignment from Badagry Deep Sea Port to Tin Can Seaport, from Tin Can to Apapa Seaport, from Apapa Seaport to Lekki Seaport, and then to Ijebu-Ode and Kajola. At Kajola, it will connect to the Lagos-Kano-Maradi Railway Modernization Project. The goal is to link the western ports to hinterland cities,” Alkali stated.

He added, “The contract was awarded at a cost of $45.3 million.”

The minister highlighted that, currently, only Apapa Port is connected to the rail network, with a standard gauge track inside the APMT Terminal used for freight movement between Lagos and Ibadan. A rehabilitated narrow-gauge railway is also operational for cargo transportation from Lagos to Kano.

He further emphasized that linking all four western seaports to the hinterlands would significantly contribute to GDP growth and stimulate economic activity.

What you should know
The Federal Government flagged off the first cargo movement on the Lagos-Ibadan rail corridor in September 2023, addressing concerns over the underutilization of the standard gauge railway two years after its commissioning.

During his first official tour of the corridor on September 12, 2023, the Minister of Transportation, Saidu Alkali, inaugurated the cargo service at Apapa before traveling to Ibadan via the 157-kilometer rail line.

In October 2024, the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) awarded a three-year freight service license to China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) to operate on the Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge railway until October 2027. The initiative aims to improve rail freight efficiency, reduce road congestion, and lower transport costs.

The licensing of CCECC marked a milestone for Nigeria’s rail sector, making it the first company authorized to operate standard-gauge rail freight services in the country.

Freight services on the rehabilitated Lagos-Kano narrow gauge railway were relaunched on June 6, 2024. Before the official resumption, a trial run successfully transported multiple 40ft import containers from Apapa Port in Lagos to Dala Inland Dry Port in Kano within a few days.
