The worst situation anyone can be is to get married from a dysfunctional family.

mikeapollo:
I understand your point and agree to some extent.
But I think he is rather calling out the lady, rather than Tuface himself.
Tuface is already a public figure and he himself has been the one coming to the public with his private matters.
If the brother had omade this comment, no one would have known how Tuface was allegedly manipulated by the lady to announce his divorce from Annie, when in actual fact it was the lady herself that hacked into Tuface's phone to post the news about the divorce from Annie on social media when Tuface was still legally married. It is for all of us to learn from.

President of the Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation, Smart Duah, noted that Nigerians are required to pay $2,500 annually for a work permit, a figure he described as burdensome.

He urged the President to urgently establish a diplomatic presence in the country.

Tinubu responded by affirming that steps were already being taken to address the matter diplomatically.

Dr. Olugbemisola Ogunlusi, a paediatrician who relocated to Saint Lucia nearly two decades ago, expressed her appreciation for the President’s visit.

She said she and her husband, who now heads a federal medical centre in Nigeria, raised children who have also become medical doctors.

“Since you arrived, you have propagated Nigeria more than ever thought,” she told the President, while wishing him a safe journey home.

Today, we commissioned two major road projects, Abaranje Road in Igando-Ikotun and the newly named Babajide Sanwo-Olu Road in Dopemu.

Abaranje Road used to be nearly impassable. Today, it’s a completely transformed dual carriageway with proper drainage, streetlights, and pedestrian walkways.

In Dopemu, we’ve rebuilt a busy 1.8km road to meet the needs of a growing population and faster traffic flow.

These roads mean quicker commutes, safer walks, better business, and real relief for residents and commuters.

We also visited Ikotun Roundabout, a major traffic trouble spot. We’re planning a flyover there to finally ease the daily gridlock. We’re working on it to get it right.

Alimosho, this is just the beginning, more is coming. We’re not leaving any part of Lagos behind.

What happened earlier today with the movement of the so-called ‘coalition’ into the ADC is the greatest factor that has strengthened the APC ahead of the 2027 elections. Let me explain.

------

By law, you cannot operate from, or belong to, two or multiple political parties, so it is safe to say that their open declaration for ADC today is a clear abandonment of their previous parties. In fact, belonging to two political parties is a ground for disqualification in an election.

Therefore, the emergence of ADC as presently constituted marks the formal dismemberment of the PDP, hitherto Nigeria’s strongest opposition Party. Majority of the old guard in the PDP (who have apparently lost control of the Party) have been pushed out of the party by the Younger Turks within the PDP. That is why the gathering today was a conglomerate of ‘former this’ and ‘former that’ of the PDP. No matter how you look at it, this is just Atiku’s faction of PDP in desperate search for the 2027 Presidential ticket - nothing more, nothing less.

The other addition to the so-called ‘coalition’ is a sprinkling of APC members who actually worked against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the last election and one or two APC leaders who lost their constituencies to opposition parties in 2023. Their movement therefore takes NOTHING away from the APC. It is actually better for the APC because it is just a case of totally extracting the germ that was eating the cola nut from within.

The person who the old, cunning guards want to take for a ride in all of this is Peter Obi. They want his votes, but don’t want to give him their Presidential ticket, because this is Atiku’s show simpliciter. That is why David Mark is the interim Chairman. Those who know politics know what I am saying. But if you do not give Peter Obi the Presidential ticket, you lose his supporters. It is as simple as that. And how can you make someone who won two regions in the last election (South-East and South-South) a running mate to the person who won only one region (North-East)?

Therefore, when the dust settles, you will discover that PDP and the Labour Party have lost something, the ADC have only gained something like a caricature, but the APC has lost ABSOLUTELY nothing.

What this all means is that since the 2023 elections, the APC have become stronger, whilst the opposition parties have been fragmented and have become weaker. Those who have defected to the APC since 2023 (the Governors, Senators, Honourable members, etc) put side-by-side with a small handful who have left the APC, who would you rather have in your ranks? That is where lies the key to the whole analyses.

For now, let us face governance and allow them exercise their constitutional right to associate and assemble.

US to recognise only civil marriages for asylum seekers, refugees seeking spousal immigration

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced a major policy change that will take effect on July 3, 2025, affecting how it evaluates spousal applications tied to refugees and asylees.

Going forward, only legally registered civil marriages will be recognized for immigration benefits.

Religious, traditional, or customary unions will no longer qualify unless they are also formally registered under civil law.

“We are updating guidance in the USCIS Policy Manual, Volume 4, on valid marriages between a principal asylee or principal refugee and their claimed spouse,” USCIS said.

“All marriages… must be legally valid under the law of the jurisdiction where the marriage was celebrated.”

The new rule applies to all applications filed on or after July 3, 2025, and also to pending cases that haven’t been decided. The shift is expected to impact applicants from countries like Nigeria, Uganda, India, Afghanistan, and Somalia—where non-civil marriage practices are common.

Three groups will be most affected: refugees and asylees in the U.S. trying to reunite with spouses; spouses applying for immigration benefits based on marriage to a refugee or asylee; and applicants from countries where marriages are often not legally registered.

USCIS says the change aims to reduce fraud and ensure marriages used for immigration purposes are legally valid.

The agency also noted that the update aligns with Executive Orders 14148 and 14163, signed during the Trump administration to reform immigration policies.

Couples are now urged to obtain civil marriage certificates, even if they’ve had traditional or religious weddings.

USCIS recommends submitting government-issued marriage documents and supporting evidence such as proof of cohabitation, joint bank accounts, or shared children

I visited the Nigeria-Niger border alongside officials from the Nigeria Immigration Service and COP Security Services International, and what I witnessed was deeply troubling. The state of the border is not only pathetic, but it also leaves the country highly vulnerable to terrorist infiltration. Shockingly, in some areas, a mere rope is all that separates Nigeria from Niger.

One of the chieftains of the All Progressive Congress, APC and former Kaduna lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani has taken to his official X account on Wednesday, July 2, 2025 to address those criticizing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for offering scholarships to students in Saint Lucia.


President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, while speaking in St Lucia, stated that a scholarship program for Caribbean students will commence in Nigeria next year.


Reacting, Senator Shehu Sani said those criticizing the decision of the President need to be enlightened.

He said the countries that have been giving to Nigeria too have their own problems yet, they chose to render help. The former Kaduna lawmaker said giving should not only be when it is convenient.


According to Senator Shehu Sani on his official X account;

"When Nigeria offers scholarships for St Lucian students to study in Nigeria, I read comments from people who thinks we should not give because we have our problems. They need to be enlightened that all the countries that give aid, grants and scholarships to Nigerians also have their problems".

mrrandomguy:
This is not how it is sir.

When herders move into any community with their own cows, they entice prominent people and anyone who looks friendly in those communities to acquire cows and keep with them. Sometimes the herders offer free cows to these village heads and prominent people.

Then they ask these indigenes for grazing land. After a while they begin to romance the local women and entice them with money. Many get pregnant. Eventually they start to misbehave.

This method was used effectively in Okunland, Kogi state, Oro Ago in Kwara and other Yoruba communities.

This is a very sensitive matter.

Those condemning it are uninformed.

During the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, many slaves were taken from Africa to the West Indies. We see some of their descendants in the United States some of whom say they can be 28% Nigerian.

Peter Obi released the following rant on Twitter:


https://x.com/PeterObi/status/1940108185353797672

Dear Peter Obi, you hardly ever learn. Despite explanations on the nature of the visit, you are still insisting the visit was unnecessary.

You likely think so because you are a micro-manager. Nigeria is a federal system. Governors have their mandates to run their states. Only failed governors and failed former governors expect the president to be responsible for everything. Despite repeated explanations that the president spent nights in Katsina on a state visit, Peter Obi is doubling on the wicked lie that Tinubu went there to attend a wedding.

As for the issue that no agreements were signed, can Peter Obi tell us the agreements he signed as governor that led to the development of Anambra state? In any case, the meeting in Saint Lucia has led to the establishment of diplomatic relationships, cultural ties and education exchange. Also, the shortage of doctors in Saint Lucia opens avenues for our healthcare workers to find alternative routes to do their medical practice. Medical practitioners in Saint Lucia earn up to $533,000 according to Glassdoor which can increase inflows through remittances back home. The visit by Tinubu also opens doors to the Caribbean nations. Additionally, the offer of scholarships by Tinubu will likely be reciprocated by Caribbean nations. Many people may not be aware that the GDP of the entire Caribbean countries is $135.73 billion while that of Nigeria is $375 billion. China has a GDP of $17.79 trillion, but they are still expanding and developing relationships with relatively less rich countries to boost trade. We can start exports and boost trade not only with Saint Lucia, but the entire Caribbean corridor.

Peter Obi needs to think more deeply about global affairs. He is forgivable for not understanding climate change, artificial intelligence and sundry development issues. But he is unforgivable for refusing to take corrections or maintain dignified silence where he is limited. It is clear that his team is uninterested in providing sensible ideas that can revolutionize anything. They just like the illusion of consumption to production, despite lacking the competence and cognate experience for leadership, innovation and vison.

Should an educated man ask this question when, supposedly, decent education should make it obvious that the onus of proof falls on those who make allegations?

Is that not what the whole drawn out saga of Lie-Tasha should have taught sensible Nigerians? Who believes unverified claim, to then ask the defendant to clear his name, other than a prejudiced individual?

Wike and his spokesman have responded to debunk the asinine claims. Advise the desperado behind the claims to provide comprehensive proof of their allegations or shut up.

AMINDA:
Laughable. Don't worry Wike, Tinubu won't sack you. He would only use it as leverage to get you to do his bidding in 2027. He's that desperate. Lere Olayinka's only line of defence is that none of the sons are directors of Joaq and Jordan Farms and Estates Ltd. What an elementary line of defence. They aren't even smart in how they loot. Is it arrogance or just sheer incompetence?

In one hour, AI finds viable sperm in man deemed infertile for 18 years

Researchers at Columbia University Fertility Center in the United States have used artificial intelligence (AI) to detect viable sperm in a man previously diagnosed with infertility.

The Washington Post reported on Friday that the man, who was diagnosed with azoospermia, a condition characterised by an extremely low or absent sperm count, and his wife had been trying to conceive for 18 years.

According to TODAY, in March 2025, the woman received the first successful embryo transfer fertilized by cells retrieved with the new artificial intelligence process, and she’s now pregnant.

How the AI sperm detection works

Zev Williams, the lead researcher and director of the university’s fertility programme, said laboratory technicians examined the patient’s semen sample for two days without detecting any sperm. However, after applying an AI-powered system, they were able to identify 44 viable sperm cells in less than an hour.

"Labs searched for two days and found nothing. We ran the same sample and found 44 sperm within an hour,” he said.

“That changes everything for a couple who thought they had no path forward.”

Called Sperm Track and Recovery (STAR), the system combined an AI algorithm for detecting sperm with a fluidic chip that passed the semen sample through a tiny tubule on a plastic chip. As the sample moves, a microscope connected to a high-speed camera captures millions of images in rapid succession.

These images are then scanned in real time by AI software trained to detect viable sperm cells. Once identified, the sperm can be preserved through freezing or used in in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) via intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), a technique where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg.

Researchers said the method shortens the time spent searching for sperm and helps avoid invasive surgical procedures that are often required to extract sperm directly from the testicles.

Experts weigh in

Robert Brannigan, president-elect of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, described the innovation as “promising”.

“Even the discovery of a single viable sperm can be life-changing,” he said.

On her part, Allison Rodgers, a reproductive endocrinologist at Fertility Centers of Illinois, said the findings reveal gaps in current fertility methods.

She added that she believes AI will play a key role in the future of IVF.

“It’s amazing and makes me realize that maybe what we thought was advanced still has a long way to go,” she said.

“I think AI is going to absolutely revolutionize IVF.”

However, Gianpiero Palermo, an infertility specialist at Weill Cornell Medicine, called for caution and emphasised the need for further validation of the technology.

“You are attracting patients who have been told they have no sperm and offering what may turn out to be false hope,” Palermo said.

Williams and his team said they are exploring ways to adapt the system for other uses, including identifying healthy sperm, eggs, and embryos.
