Yeah I just saw your link. You should learn to read links you post so you can be better informed of issues. The woman said in the link you posted that the Emir on his deathbed told his son Nasiru to provide her and her children with a house and upkeep. Now in Islamic law, a man's will must be fulfilled by whoever he appointed as executor which in this case will be Nasiru. In fact, it is in the Quran and I have posted it below for you. So, the woman is not asking for a share of inheritance as wrongly believed but a fulfillment of what the former Emir willed on his deathbed. Those guys refusing to carry out the Emir's wishes are on the wrong side of Islamic law

South Africans are now blaming their self and those who started attack on Nigeria transport system. Nigerians now ordering South Africa food online just to waste it.

It’s an economy attack on both countries.

South Africans have keenly followed the Chidimma Adetshina false identification case, and now their attention turns to her age and whether she is, in fact, the age she claims to be.

Earlier this week, the Department of Home Affairs uncovered that Adetshina’s mother (a Mozambican national) might have assumed the identity of a South African woman who was listed in the national population register in Tshwane (Pretoria) by her mother in 1982.

The South African woman applied for an ID in 1995. However, when she returned to collect it three months later, she discovered it had been issued in Johannesburg at a different office than where she had initially applied.

Furthermore, when she attempted to register her child’s birth in 2001, it was found that another child’s name, Adetshina, had already been registered under her ID number.

The above information reported by IOL has led to an online debate about Adetshina’s age.

Inserts from the department’s findings:

“The child that was registered was Chidimma Adetshina. The information shared by the family of the lady whose ID was stolen in Tshwane matches the details contained in the department’s records. Adetshina’s mother was issued with the Promotion of Administrative Justice letter on August 7. Her response to this letter will determine the final decision that the department will take in relation to the ID she is currently carrying".

Oando PLC has successfully completed its acquisition of the Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC) from Italian energy giant Eni for a total consideration of $783 million.

The company confirmed via a press release that the deal has been completed representing a significant milestone in Oando’s long-term strategy. The transaction includes reimbursement and consideration for the asset.

The acquisition is expected to solidify Oando’s position in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector, enhancing its operational footprint and expanding its upstream capabilities.

Recall Italian Oil Major, Eni, reported it had received the approval of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) to sell its unit, Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC), to Oando.

Eni said NAOC focuses on onshore oil and gas exploration and production as well as power generation in Nigeria.

Key Transaction Details
Increased Stake in Key Oil Blocks: The acquisition boosts Oando’s participating interest in Oil Mining Leases (OMLs) 60, 61, 62, and 63 from 20% to 40%. This expands Oando’s ownership in all NEPL/NAOC/OOL Joint Venture assets, encompassing 40 discovered oil and gas fields, of which 24 are currently producing.

Enhanced Infrastructure Ownership:
Oando now has a stake in vital infrastructure, including approximately 1,490 km of pipelines, three gas processing plants, the Brass River Oil Terminal, and the KwaleOkpai power plants (960MW capacity). This acquisition further strengthens the company’s infrastructure footprint in Nigeria.

Significant Increase in Reserves: Oando’s total reserves have jumped from 505.6 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe) to over 1 billion barrels, representing a 98% increase based on 2022 reserve estimates.

Immediate Cash Flow Impact: The transaction is expected to be immediately cash generative, significantly enhancing Oando’s financial position and cash flows.

Strategic Importance
Wale Tinubu, Group Chief Executive of Oando PLC, highlighted the significance of this acquisition as the culmination of a decade-long effort that began with Oando’s acquisition of ConocoPhillips’ Nigerian assets in 2014.

Tinubu stated, “This is a win for Oando and every indigenous energy player as we take our destiny in our hands and play a pivotal role in the next phase of Nigeria’s upstream evolution.”

He further emphasized Oando’s commitment to optimizing the acquired assets’ potential while maintaining a focus on responsible practices, sustainable development, and contributing to Nigeria’s goal of boosting oil production.

Oando has cautioned that while it believes the acquisition will yield significant benefits, the transaction involves inherent risks and uncertainties. These include potential changes in project parameters, the future price of crude oil, and risks associated with international operations. The company advised investors to consider these factors when evaluating its future prospects.

Despite the uncertainties, Oando remains optimistic about the acquisition’s potential to drive growth and value creation, particularly as it explores diversification opportunities in clean energy, agri-feedstock, and energy infrastructure.

Putin receives support from the Chechen president with 40 thousand soldiers to confront the Ukrainian incursion into Russia


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tT4BqHRaWc

Ukraine launches the largest attack on the Russian capital and Putin brings in Chechen forces led by Kadyrov
Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared in a video kissing a copy of the Holy Quran during a visit to the Chechen Republic, which sent thousands of soldiers to repel the sudden Ukrainian incursion into Russian territory in the city of Kursk.

Putin took a souvenir photo with the Quran, which he presented to the "Prophet Jesus" Mosque in the city of Grozny, the capital of the Chechen Republic, which is part of Russia.

The Russian president arrived at the mosque accompanied by the governor of the republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, and the Mufti of Chechnya, head of the religious administration of Muslims of the republic, Salah Mezhiev.
Russian President Vladimir Putin made a surprise visit to Chechnya, meeting with the republic's leader and longtime Kremlin ally Ramzan Kadyrov. Newsweek noted that Putin's visit to Chechnya is his first since 2011, and comes as Russian forces are trying to repel a Ukrainian incursion into Russia's Kursk region.

Commenting on Putin's visit to Chechnya, the Associated Press reported that the Russian president visited a special forces academy named after him there, and spoke with fighters who will be sent to fight in Ukraine. The agency reported that Putin told soldiers at the Chechen special forces academy that "Russia will be invincible" as long as it has forces like them.

Kadyrov has previously said he has deployed thousands of his troops to fight in Ukraine, and the Associated Press, citing Russian state media reports, said Kadyrov told Putin during their meeting on Tuesday that the Chechen Republic has “tens of thousands” of reservists ready to fight Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s forces.

In a post on his Telegram channel, Kadyrov spoke about his meeting with Putin and noted that more than 40,000 fighters have been trained at the special forces academy since the Russian president launched a “special military operation” in Ukraine in 2022.

Meanwhile, new reports indicate that Ukrainian forces have destroyed a bridge over the Sim River used to support Russian military logistics in the Kursk region. It is the third bridge to be destroyed, after the Ukrainian army targeted the first bridge 16 kilometers northwest of the main fighting area in Kursk, and the second bridge in Zvannoye.

The third bridge, in the village of Karez in Russia’s Kursk region, is the last major crossing in the region used by the Russian military. Ukrainian attacks on all three bridges could trap Russian forces between the river, advancing Ukrainian forces and the Ukrainian border.

The destruction appears to be slowing Moscow’s ability to respond to the Ukrainian incursion launched on Aug. 6 in Kursk. Russian forces will struggle to deliver supplies and reinforcements to an area of ​​about 700 square kilometers.

Since the incursion into the Kursk region began, the Ukrainian military has captured 1,263 square kilometers, Ukrainian military commander Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi said Tuesday.

After meeting Gen. Syrskyi on Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi said in a video address that the Ukrainian military had achieved “specific goals” in Kursk.

Zelensky has said in recent days that the operation is aimed at creating a buffer zone that could prevent future cross-border attacks on his country, and that Ukraine has captured a large number of Russians whom it hopes to exchange for captured Ukrainians.

Zelensky spoke on Sunday about the ongoing offensive in Kursk, saying: “Our main task now in defensive operations in general is to destroy as much of Russia’s war potential as possible,” the Kyiv Independent reported.

The Russian newspaper Izvestia reported on Wednesday, citing the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, that intelligence services from the United States, Britain and Poland were involved in preparing Ukraine’s incursion into Russia’s Kursk region.

While Ukraine is hailing its successful push deep into Russian territory, Moscow’s offensive in eastern Ukraine threatens to seize another key hub, the city of Pokrovsk.

Russia has continued to press the city of Pokrovsk, one of Ukraine’s main defensive strongholds and a key logistics hub in the Donetsk region, forcing Kyiv’s forces to withdraw and Ukrainian civilians to flee their homes.

Capturing the city would jeopardize Ukraine’s defensive capabilities and supply routes, and bring Russia closer to its stated goal of capturing the entire Donetsk region. Russia wants to control all of Donetsk and neighboring Luhansk, which together form the industrial Donbas region.

Trinidad and Tobago redraws coat of arms to remove Columbus’s three ships

Trinidad and Tobago is redrawing the island’s coat of arms for the first time since its creation in 1962 to remove references to European colonisation – a move lauded by many in the eastern Caribbean nation.

Explorer Christopher Columbus’s three ships – the Pinta, the Nina and the Santa Maria – will be replaced with the steelpan, a popular percussion instrument that originated on the island Al Jazeera reported.

“That should signal that we are on our way to removing the colonial vestiges that we have in our constitution,” he said.

The current coat of arms also features hummingbirds, a palm tree and a scarlet ibis, Trinidad’s national bird. This will be the first time the symbol will be changed when it was first designed after Trinidad gained independence from the UK in 1962.

Trinidad and Tobago will also soon hold a public hearing on whether certain statues, signs and monuments with colonial connections should also be removed.

Rowley is also advocating for abandoning the UK King’s privy council as its highest court of appeal, a legal arrangement still in place for several Commonwealth countries, including Trinidad, local media reported.

The prime minister said he no longer wants Trinidad and Tobago to be “squatters on the steps of the privy council”.

Last year, St Lucia voted to remove the council from their country’s legal system, instead joining the Caribbean Court of Justice in 2023.

IDF says the bodies of the six Israeli hostages were retrieved from a tunnel in Khan Yunis
The IDF retrieved the bodies of six Israeli hostages killed in captivity in Gaza overnight into Tuesday. The bodies were found in the Khan Yunis area by a joint operation involving various army and Shin Bet forces, based on precise intelligence.

Defense officials estimate that some were killed in the tunnel where their bodies were found, and that their captors may have fled following Israeli strikes, leaving the bodies behind.

Kibbutz Nir Oz announced that the body of Chaim Peri was also recovered from the Gaza Strip overnight. “Chaim Peri, who was abducted from his home in Kibbutz Nir Oz during the events of October 7 and was left to die in Hamas captivity, was returned to the kibbutz today after more than ten months in captivity in Gaza,” the kibbutz said in a statement.

Peri was 80 years old, a father of five and a grandfather of 13. The kibbutz's statement described him as “an entrepreneur, humanist, peace activist, and founder of the White House Gallery. On the day of the massacre at the kibbutz, Haim managed to save his wife, Osnat, before he was abducted.”

“He survived under inhumane conditions in Hamas tunnels for months until he was brutally murdered in captivity. The return of Haim's body serves as a painful reminder that our struggle to free all our loved ones and return to normalcy is far from over, and it is of utmost importance because time is not on the side of the hostages! We will continue to do everything in our power until all our loved ones are back home. The living for recovery, and the murdered for burial,” the statement concluded.

This is an old gist BTW, and what is HOME LAND SECURITY madam reporter?

Nor be new thing, this kind of story is rampant in UK at the moment.

Most men are at the mercy of the women, and the women are bleeping anyhow cos they make the same amount of money as the men (sometimes even more cos they pack extra shift more than the husbands).

Women will only respect you when you are financially better than them. If they feel they are at par with you, and share financial responsibilities with you, otilor.

The way they are bleeping those COS girls, afi ki Olorun shaaanu.

https://www.youtube.com/live/gxkM9At7hqQ?si=Ui9VRRXJ07X1GNWI


I have long suspected that this girl wasn't even born in SA, and I'm sure they will reveal that in parliament.....or there are no records of a female child being born under this name ....either she was smuggled here or she was never a she when it was born . Something is definitely off, and the way this case is being "globalised " makes me even more suspicious. Nigeria is a homophobic country and a very religious one....wouldn't it shake things up if they were to be the first African nation to crown a transgender? .
