Politics › Wike Fires Back At Kwara Governor: “anytime He Sees A Snake, It’s Wike” by MATV(op): 1:08pm On Sep 16
WIKE FIRES BACK AT KWARA GOVERNOR: “ANYTIME HE SEES A SNAKE, IT’S WIKE”

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has responded to Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq amid an escalating political disagreement between the two politicians.

Wike accused the governor of blaming him for political problems in Kwara State, saying: “Anytime he sees a snake, it’s Wike. Anytime he sees a reptile, it’s Wike.”

The FCT Minister also criticised the reported replacement of three serving Kwara senators and some members of the House of Representatives ahead of the 2027 elections.

According to Wike, the PDP gave some of the affected politicians tickets, and he questioned whether they would continue supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu if they had moved to other political platforms.

Wike further urged Governor AbdulRazaq to focus on political issues within Kwara State rather than, in his words, using President Tinubu’s name to explain or defend them.

The exchange has added to the ongoing political tension involving Nyesom Wike, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, Kwara politics, the PDP and the 2027 Nigerian elections.

What do you make of Wike’s criticism of Governor AbdulRazaq?

Politics › Peter Obi Reacts To Fbi Record Claims By Reno Omokri, Exposes Secrets by MATV(op): 11:33am On Sep 15
PETER OBI REACTS TO RENO OMOKRI’S STATEMENT ABOUT FBI RECORDS

NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi has responded to a statement by former presidential spokesman Reno Omokri concerning FBI records allegedly linked to presidential candidates ahead of the 2027 Nigerian election.

The response came during a virtual interview involving media personality Adeola Fayehun, Rudolf Okonkwo, host of 90 Minutes Africa, and Peter Obi.

Reno Omokri had stated during an interview on the City Boy Movement Podcast that all presidential candidates in the 2027 election have records with the **United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) while discussing documents relating to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Peter Obi was asked whether he has an FBI file and whether he would allow such records to be made public.

Responding, Obi said: “If you should seek public office, you must submit yourself to public scrutiny.”

He also stressed that having an FBI record does not necessarily mean having a criminal record.

Peter Obi’s response has sparked fresh conversations online about FBI records, public scrutiny, political transparency, Peter Obi, Reno Omokri, Bola Tinubu, and the 2027 presidential election.

Politics › "I Promise You I Will Be President Of This Country" - Natasha Osawaru by MATV(op): 5:10pm On Sep 14
NATASHA OSAWARU IDIBIA DECLARES PRESIDENTIAL AMBITION, MAKES PROMISE TO GRANDFATHER

Edo State lawmaker Natasha Osawaru Idibia has revealed her ambition to become the President of Nigeria, making the declaration while celebrating the 92nd birthday of her grandfather, Chief Gabriel Igbinedion.

During the birthday celebration, Natasha reportedly told her grandfather, “I promise you, I will be the president of this country,” as she expressed her desire to make him proud and thanked him for his role in her life.

Natasha is already active in Nigerian politics. She was elected to the Edo State House of Assembly in 2023, representing Egor Constituency, and served as Deputy Speaker. She later moved from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in 2026.

At 31, Natasha’s presidential ambition has attracted attention, particularly because of her relatively young age and her plans to move from state-level politics to Nigeria’s highest political office.

Her declaration has sparked conversations about her political future, leadership ambitions and the possibility of a new generation of politicians seeking the presidency.

Do you think Natasha Osawaru Idibia has what it takes to become Nigeria’s President someday?

Politics › We Don't Want Peter Obi- Benue Youths Block Road As Obi Visit, Obi Mentions Name by MATV(op): 4:11pm On Sep 08
Protesters Block Gboko Road as Peter Obi Visits Benue, Obi Reacts


In Benue State, protesters reportedly blocked part of the Gboko Road in Makurdi, chanting “We don’t want Peter Obi” as the former Anambra governor arrived in the state.

The incident reportedly happened near the Air Force base and airport, temporarily disrupting traffic.

The protesters allegedly barricaded the road as Peter Obi continued his engagements in Makurdi.

Obi is in Benue, according to his statement, to condole with families who have lost loved ones in recent terrorist attacks.

But after the road was blocked, Obi reacted, alleging that the youths behind the protest were being led by a Special Adviser to Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia.

Obi said he had remained there for some time, hoping the protesters would reconsider their action.

He questioned why people who are already facing hunger and insecurity would be involved in blocking his movement when, according to him, his visit was aimed at discussing ways to create opportunities and support vulnerable people.

This is not the first time Obi’s visit to Benue has faced controversy. In April 2025, he also alleged that his humanitarian visit to the state was obstructed by authorities, a claim that generated significant political reactions.

So, what started with protesters blocking the road has now turned into another political controversy in Benue.

While the protesters say they do not want Peter Obi in the state, Obi insists his mission is about offering condolences and addressing the suffering of people affected by insecurity.

Was the protest justified, or should Peter Obi have been allowed to carry out his visit peacefully?

Politics › “datti Baba-ahmed Is A Failure.” Isaac Fayose Blasts Over Comment On Peter Obi by MATV(op): 1:35pm On Sep 08
ISAAC FAYOSE BLASTS DATTI BABA-AHMED OVER COMMENT ON PETER OBI

“Datti Baba-Ahmed is a failure.”[quote][/quote][b][/b]

Those are the strong words from Isaac Fayose, following Datti Baba-Ahmed’s recent comments that Peter Obi cannot improve Nigeria.

Fayose questioned Datti’s political relevance, saying Nigerians barely knew him before the 2023 presidential election, when Peter Obi selected him as his running mate.

He also pointed to Datti’s performance in the 2023 election, claiming that Datti lost his home state.

Fayose’s comments come after Datti reportedly said that none of the opposition candidates, including Peter Obi, can change Nigeria.

But here’s where the political debate gets interesting.

Datti was Peter Obi’s running mate in 2023, and now, years later, he is openly questioning Obi’s capacity to transform the country.

Fayose, however, is hitting back, and he is asking Nigerians to consider who had political relevance before Peter Obi brought Datti into the national spotlight.

So, what do you think?

Is Isaac Fayose right to question Datti’s political record, or should Nigerians focus on the issues rather than personalities?

Politics › Lee Olayinka BLAST Rufai Oseni SAYS “I Want To Talk To Reasonable Human Being” by MATV(op): 4:20pm On Sep 04
Lere Olayinka vs Rufai Oseni: Another Drama Unfolds on Arise TV Over “Gbewudani” Controversy

Another drama has unfolded on Arise TV over the ongoing “Gbewudani” controversy involving FCT Minister Nyesom Wike’s media aide, Lere Olayinka, and journalist Rufai Oseni.

Lere Olayinka appeared on The Morning Show but things reportedly took an unexpected turn when Rufai Oseni began asking him questions.

Olayinka made it clear that he did not want to take questions from Rufai, saying he wanted to have a conversation with “reasonable human beings” — a statement linked to the ongoing argument over the use of the word “Gbewudani.”

The situation became tense, and Arise TV presenter Ayo Mairose eventually ended the interview.

Mairose reportedly told Olayinka that the programme could reschedule when he was ready to answer questions from all three presenters.

The development comes just a day after another heated exchange on Arise TV between Rufai Oseni and Reuben Abati, which also centred on the same “Gbewudani” controversy.

Now, Nigerians are debating the latest development.

Was Lere Olayinka right to refuse Rufai Oseni’s questions because of their previous disagreement?

Or should he have stayed on the programme and answered the questions regardless?

And the big question: Who is actually being unreasonable here — Lere Olayinka or Rufai Oseni?

Politics › Rufai Oseni And Reuben Abati Clash Over Wike's Comments by MATV(op): 3:25pm On Sep 03
Drama on Arise TV: Rufai Oseni, Reuben Abati Clash Over Wike Comments During Live Broadcast

There was a heated exchange between Arise TV anchors Rufai Oseni and Dr. Reuben Abati during Thursday morning’s edition of The Morning Show, after the two journalists disagreed over comments concerning FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and the 2027 political landscape.

The argument became intense enough that the producer and co-host Ojy Okpe reportedly had to intervene to bring the exchange under control.

The disagreement reportedly started during a discussion about comments made by FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and how his political activities and statements were being analysed on the programme.

At one point, Dr. Reuben Abati cautioned Rufai Oseni over what he described as statements that could expose the station to legal action.

Rufai Oseni, however, pushed back against the warning, suggesting that Abati’s reaction was connected to their disagreement over political views.

Oseni responded:
“It’s only when I disagree with your views that you start shouting lawsuits.”

The exchange quickly became heated, with both journalists talking over each other before the intervention from the production team and Ojy Okpe helped to bring the argument to an end.

The moment has since attracted attention online, with viewers reacting to the unusual disagreement between the two familiar faces on The Morning Show.

The incident comes amid intense political discussions on Arise TV as politicians and commentators continue to debate alliances and the 2027 elections.

Rufai Oseni and Reuben Abati regularly feature in political discussions on the programme.

The heated exchange between Rufai Oseni and Reuben Abati has now become a talking point among viewers.

Who do you think made the stronger argument, Rufai Oseni or Reuben Abati?

Education › Why Are More Nigerians Choosing Russia For University? Analyst Explains by MATV(op): 1:08pm On Jul 31
Why Are More Nigerians Choosing Russia for University?: A Journalist Says the Answer Could Change Nigeria's Education Future (Video)


As thousands of Nigerian students continue to look beyond the country's borders for quality higher education, Russia is emerging as one of their destinations. But what exactly is attracting them? A Nigerian broadcast journalist believes the answer could transform education in both countries.

In her entry for the #NewDayEducation2026 competition,Esther Mosunmola Ajibade examines the strengths and challenges of higher education in Nigeria and the Russian Federation, while proposing stronger collaboration between the two countries.

According to her, Nigeria has over 300 universities, yet millions of candidates compete each year for limited admission through JAMB. Challenges such as ASUU strikes, inadequate infrastructure, and unreliable electricity have forced many students to develop resilience, creativity, and resourcefulness beyond the classroom.

She highlighted the story of Chikamso Chizoba Amalu, popularly known as ACC Whizzy, a self-taught inventor from Enugu State who builds functional vehicles from recycled scrap materials in Lagos, describing him as an example of Nigerian innovation despite systemic challenges.

Ajibade contrasted this with Russia's higher education system, which includes more than 1,000 universities and is recognised for its strengths in science, engineering, medicine, and research. Russia currently hosts over 400,000 international students and aims to increase that number to 500,000 by 2030.

She also spotlighted Nigerians who have excelled in Russia, including Dr. Usman Yahaya, who earned his medical degree through the Open Doors Russian Scholarship, and Dr. Dorcas Akanbi, who graduated as the best student at Rostov State Medical University and delivered her valedictory speech in fluent Russian.

Rather than comparing which country's education system is better, Ajibade advocates for stronger educational partnerships, including lecturer exchange programmes, joint research, shared scholarships, and knowledge exchange between Nigerian and Russian institutions.

Quoting Nelson Mandela,:
> "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."

Her message ends with a simple but powerful thought:

> "Two classrooms, 8,500 kilometres apart—one shared future, if we choose to build it together."

What are your thoughts?

Should Nigeria strengthen educational partnerships with Russia, or should the country's priority remain fixing its universities before expanding international collaboration?

A video showing Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke leading praise and worship during a church service has taken social media by storm, with Nigerians sharing different reactions.

In the viral clip, the governor is seen standing at the altar in a white Agbada and sunglasses, holding a microphone while passionately leading the congregation in worship.

Church members were captured singing, dancing, and celebrating as Governor Adeleke displayed his energetic performance style.

The moment has surprised many viewers, with some Nigerians praising his confidence, vocal ability, and stage presence.

Others have drawn comparisons between the governor's performance and that of his nephew, Afrobeats superstar **Davido**, joking that the singer may have inherited his entertainment skills from the Adeleke family.

Beyond the music, the video has sparked conversations about leaders showing their personal side outside politics.

Many Nigerians described the moment as a reminder that public figures also have personal beliefs and interests beyond their official duties.

However, the viral clip has also generated discussions online, with people sharing different opinions about politicians publicly expressing their faith.

Many are now asking:

🔹 Did Governor Adeleke surprise you with his singing ability?

Politics › Odumeje Slams Pastor Adeboye Over Comments On Insecurity, Praise Ojukwu � by MATV(op): 1:45pm On Jul 13
Odumeje Fires Back at Pastor Adeboye Over Tinubu Comments, Praises Ojukwu (VIDEO)

Prophet Chukwuemeka Odumeje has stirred fresh controversy after reacting to Pastor Enoch Adeboye's recent comments on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Nigeria's security situation.

Pastor Adeboye, while speaking during an event in the United States, said he does not support those blaming President Tinubu for insecurity, noting that the President has already directed the military and security agencies to tackle the challenges.

However, Odumeje strongly disagreed.

Speaking during a church service, the popular cleric argued that religious leaders have a responsibility to speak out on national issues and hold leaders accountable whenever necessary.

He also paid tribute to the late Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, describing him as a courageous leader who stood firmly for the interests of the Igbo people.

The remarks have triggered heated conversations across social media, with Nigerians divided over the role of religious leaders in politics and governance.

Many are now asking:

🔹 Was Odumeje right to publicly challenge Pastor Adeboye?

🔹 Should pastors remain neutral on political matters, or openly speak against government policies?

🔹 What exactly did Odumeje say about Ojukwu that has everyone talking?

🔹 Could this spark a wider debate among Christian leaders in Nigeria?

The contrasting views of both clerics have reignited discussions about faith, leadership, governance, and the responsibility of influential religious figures during times of national challenges.

Lagos Government Arrests 396 Beggars in Fresh Crackdown — What Happens to Them Next? (VIDEO)

The Lagos State Government has arrested 396 beggars during a fresh sanitation enforcement operation, a move that has sparked widespread reactions among Nigerians.

The exercise was carried out by operatives of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC) as part of the state's ongoing efforts to improve public sanitation, maintain order, and keep the city safe.

According to government officials, those arrested will be profiled to determine their identities and individual circumstances.

Authorities also stated that people who require assistance will receive appropriate support before being handed over to the relevant authorities for safe return to their respective states.

The development has ignited fresh debates online, with many Nigerians asking:
Is arresting beggars the best way to tackle street begging?

What will happen to the 396 people arrested?

Should governments focus more on rehabilitation and job creation instead of enforcement?

Could similar operations be introduced in other states?

Supporters of the exercise argue that it will help improve public safety, reduce street nuisance, and make Lagos cleaner, while critics believe the root causes of poverty and homelessness also need urgent attention.

As conversations continue, many Nigerians are calling for long-term solutions that combine enforcement with rehabilitation, social welfare, and economic empowerment.

Politics › To Start Akara Or Kuli-kuli Business Doesn’t Require A Lot Of Money — Remi Tinub by MATV(op): 2:31pm On Jun 26
First Lady Oluremi Tinubu’s Advice to Nigerians Sparks Mixed Reactions (VIDEO)

Nigeria's First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has sparked conversations online after sharing what she believes are practical ways Nigerians can earn a living despite the country's economic challenges.

Speaking on government efforts to support citizens, Mrs. Tinubu said businesses such as selling akara, roasting corn, and producing kuli-kuli require little capital and can help many people generate income.

One particular statement from her has attracted widespread attention online.

She said:
"To start akara business doesn't take a lot of money. To start roasting corn... kuli-kuli doesn't take much."

The First Lady also explained that some beneficiaries of government empowerment programmes received grants—not loans, meaning they would not be required to repay the money.

She further highlighted several interventions she said have been carried out, including:

✔ ₦2 billion for tuberculosis treatment

✔ ₦1 billion for breast cancer initiatives

✔ ₦500 million to tackle food malnutrition

✔ Scholarships, ICT training, and other empowerment programmes.

However, her comments have generated mixed reactions across social media.

While some Nigerians agreed that small businesses can provide a pathway to financial independence, others argued that the country's economic realities make it difficult for many entrepreneurs to thrive.

Many are now asking:

🔹 Is selling akara or kuli-kuli enough to survive in today's economy?

🔹 Are government grants reaching the people who need them most?

🔹 What exactly did the First Lady say that has everyone talking?

“I Don’t See The Hunger Nigerians Talk About” — Bayo Onanuga’s Comment Sparks Heated Reactions (VIDEO)

Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga has stirred massive reactions online after making a statement about Nigeria's economic situation that many Nigerians are already debating.

Speaking during an interview, Onanuga said he personally does not see the level of hunger and hardship often described by critics of President Bola Tinubu's administration.

The comment quickly triggered discussions across social media, with many Nigerians expressing differing views about the country's economic realities.

According to Onanuga, the current administration has introduced several programmes aimed at improving the lives of citizens, including infrastructure projects, student loan initiatives, and worker credit schemes.

However, his remarks have left many asking:

🔹 Is the government seeing a different reality from what ordinary Nigerians experience daily?

🔹 Have recent economic policies started producing positive results that many people are yet to feel?

🔹 Is the hardship narrative exaggerated, or are citizens genuinely struggling more than before?

🔹 What exactly did Bayo Onanuga say during the interview?

As reactions continue to pour in, supporters of the administration argue that reforms take time to produce results, while critics insist that rising food prices, inflation, and the cost of living remain major challenges for millions of Nigerians.

The statement has now become one of the most talked-about political discussions online.

Politics › Sowore Claims Abducted Oyo School Children Have Been Moved - Reveals Location by MATV(op): 9:11pm On Jun 22
I Know Where They Were Moved To" — Sowore Makes Fresh Claim About Abducted Oyo Schoolchildren Before Court Remands Him (VIDEO)

Human rights activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has been remanded at the Kuje Correctional Centre following a fresh court order.

However, what is generating even more attention online are the claims he made shortly before being taken into custody.

According to Sowore, the schoolchildren and teachers abducted during the attack on schools in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State may no longer be in their original location.

In a video currently circulating online, the activist alleged that the victims had been moved elsewhere and suggested that he had information about their alleged whereabouts.

The claim has sparked widespread reactions as families, residents, and concerned Nigerians continue to demand the safe return of the abducted pupils and teachers.

Meanwhile, Justice Mohammed Umar of the Federal High Court in Abuja ordered Sowore's remand at Kuje Correctional Centre pending the hearing of his application seeking to overturn an earlier court order that revoked his bail and issued a bench warrant against him.

Observers also noticed that Sowore arrived prepared for the possibility of detention, appearing with a travel bag and expressing confidence that he would regain his freedom.

His latest remarks have now raised several questions:

🔹 What exactly does Sowore know about the abducted victims?

🔹 Should security agencies investigate the information he claims to have?

🔹 Could his comments help ongoing rescue efforts?

🔹 What impact will his remand have on the conversation surrounding the kidnapping?

The attack on the schools in Oriire shocked many Nigerians after dozens of pupils and teachers were reportedly abducted, while lives were also lost during the incident.

As the legal battle involving Sowore continues, public attention remains fixed on both his court case and the fate of the abducted schoolchildren.

Baba Ijesha Welcomes Baby Boy 7 Months After Prison Release — Nkechi Blessing, Nigerians React (VIDEO)

Popular Nollywood actor Olanrewaju Omiyinka, better known as Baba Ijesha, has announced the birth of a baby boy with his wife, Abiodun Folashade Tokunbo, just seven months after regaining his freedom from prison.

The actor shared the exciting news on Instagram, expressing gratitude to God for what he described as a special blessing and a new chapter in his life.
According to Baba Ijesha, the couple has named their son King Kagar Omiyinka.

In his post, he wrote:
"God gave me more than I prayed for. We thank the Almighty for blessing us with a healthy baby boy."

His wife, Abiodun, who is the CEO of Luminee Couture, also took to social media to celebrate the arrival of their son, revealing that the child is their first together after 12 years.

The announcement quickly went viral and sparked mixed reactions across social media.

While many fans congratulated the couple and wished the newborn well, others revisited the actor's controversial past and debated whether the public should fully embrace his comeback.

One of the reactions that caught attention came from Nollywood actress **Nkechi Blessing**, who joined others in celebrating the arrival of the baby.

However, not all reactions were positive.

Some Nigerians argued that serving a prison sentence should allow an individual to rebuild their life, while others maintained that certain actions should never be forgotten regardless of the punishment served.

The development has reignited conversations about forgiveness, second chances, redemption, and how society treats public figures after they have completed their sentences.

Many are now asking:

Can someone truly move on after serving their punishment?
Should the public separate a celebrity's present life from past convictions?
Does Baba Ijesha deserve a fresh start as a husband and father?

Crime › Sowore Reveals How Late General Rabe Abubakar's Remains Were Recovered by MATV(op): 7:20pm On Jun 15
SOWORE REVEALS HOW LATE GENERAL RABE ABUBAKAR'S REMAINS WERE RECOVERED AFTER DYING IN BANDITS' CAPTIVITY (VIDEO)

Fresh details have emerged about the final moments of retired Major General Rabe Abubakar and how his remains were eventually recovered after his tragic death in bandits' captivity.

Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has now shared what he claims happened behind the scenes following the former military spokesperson's death, sparking fresh conversations about insecurity and the growing kidnapping crisis in Northern Nigeria.

Major General Rabe Abubakar, a former Director of Defence Information and spokesperson for the Nigerian military, was abducted alongside his wife on May 30, 2026, after gunmen ambushed them along the Marabar Musawa–Kafinsoli Road in Katsina State.

Days after the abduction, a disturbing video surfaced online showing the retired general and his wife pleading for help while in captivity.

Tragically, reports later confirmed that the respected military officer died while being held by his abductors.

According to official statements, the late general reportedly suffered complications linked to diabetes and hypertension while in captivity.

However, questions remained unanswered:

*How were his remains recovered?*

*What negotiations took place before his wife was released?*

*Could the tragedy have been prevented?*

Speaking on the development, Sowore shared details surrounding the recovery of the late general's body and the circumstances that led to his eventual burial.

The heartbreaking incident has reignited nationwide outrage over the increasing cases of kidnapping affecting ordinary citizens, traditional rulers, business people, and even retired military officers.

Many Nigerians have described the development as a painful reminder that insecurity remains one of the country's biggest challenges.

The late general was eventually laid to rest in Katsina after his remains were returned and his wife regained freedom.

Politics › Bandits Surrender Now Or Face Full Force Of The Nigerian State - Says Tinubu by MATV(op): 3:24pm On Jun 12
“Surrender Now Or Face Full Force Of The State” — Tinubu Issues Strong Warning To Bandits, Kidnappers & Terror Sponsors (VIDEO)

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has issued one of his strongest warnings yet to bandits, kidnappers, terrorists, and their sponsors, declaring that the window for surrender and rehabilitation will not remain open forever.

Speaking during his nationwide Democracy Day broadcast on June 12, 2026, the President vowed that those who continue to shed the blood of innocent Nigerians would face the full weight of the Nigerian state.

In a message that has generated widespread reactions online, Tinubu stated:
"Surrender now or face the full force of the Nigerian state. This window of surrender will not remain open forever."

The President stressed that while the government remains open to rehabilitation and reintegration for those willing to abandon violence, there would be no mercy for individuals who refuse to lay down their arms.

"No mercy will be shown to those who trade in the blood of Nigerians," he warned.

During the address, President Tinubu outlined what he described as major achievements in the fight against insecurity.

According to him:
More than 13,000 terrorists have been neutralized within the last year.

Over 124,000 fighters and their dependents have reportedly surrendered through the government's deradicalization and reintegration programme since 2023.

The government has recruited 50,000 new police officers alongside thousands of military personnel to strengthen security operations nationwide.

The President also revealed that the Federal Government has allocated ₦5.41 trillion to defence and security in the 2026 budget, describing it as the largest security investment in Nigeria's history.

According to him, the administration is combining military operations with non-military reforms aimed at addressing the root causes of insecurity across affected regions.

The President's remarks have triggered mixed reactions online.

While some Nigerians welcomed the tough stance against criminals, others argued that citizens want to see more visible improvements in security and a reduction in kidnappings, attacks, and violence across the country.

Many are now asking:

Will the ultimatum force more terrorists and bandits to surrender?

Or is stronger action needed to finally end insecurity in Nigeria?

Christianity Etc › “I Will Not Hand Over Deeper Life To My Son” — Pastor Kumuyi Breaks Silence by MATV(op): 6:02pm On Jun 10
“I Will Not Hand Over Deeper Life To My Son” — Pastor Kumuyi Breaks Silence On Church Succession (VIDEO)

The General Superintendent of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Kumuyi, has finally addressed a question many Nigerians and church members have quietly asked for years:

Will one of his sons take over Deeper Life after him?

Speaking during a recent church service, the respected cleric made his position very clear — the church will not be handed over to any of his biological children.

According to Kumuyi, Deeper Life is not a family business that can be inherited from father to son.

While addressing speculations about succession within the ministry, he said:

*"Many people were speculating, is he going to hand over the church unto his son? Won't he search for his first son, second son, where are they? Where do they live? Is he not going to hand over the church?"*

He then explained why that would never happen.

According to the veteran preacher, the church belongs to Jesus Christ and not to any individual, regardless of who founded it.

*"It's not his church. Jesus said, upon this rock, I will build my church. It's the church of the Lord Jesus Christ and nobody has the right to hand it over to his son."*

Pastor Kumuyi also pointed to examples from the early Christian church, noting that biblical figures such as Peter, Paul, and John did not pass church leadership to their children.

His comments have immediately sparked widespread reactions among Christians and religious observers.

Some praised his position, arguing that church leadership should be based on spiritual calling, character, and competence rather than family ties.

Others believe that a founder's child should not be automatically excluded if he or she is genuinely qualified and called to serve.

The statement has now reopened a broader conversation about succession planning in mega churches and whether ministries should remain family-led after the founder's departure.

Crime › I Collected ₦100k From Bandit, Now They Want ₦100 Million!— Nigerian Man Cries O by MATV(op): 6:44pm On Jun 09
“I Collected ₦100k Giveaway… Now They Want ₦100 Million!” — Nigerian Man Cries Out After Alleged Bandit Giveaway (VIDEO)

A young Nigerian man has gone viral after making a shocking claim about a social media giveaway that allegedly turned into a nightmare.

In a video currently circulating online, the man alleged that he received ₦100,000 from a giveaway reportedly linked to individuals identified as bandits.

What seemed like free money at the time has now allegedly become a terrifying ordeal.

According to the young man, he was later contacted and told to provide ₦100 million or face serious consequences.

Appealing desperately to Nigerians for help, he said:

*"I collected ₦100,000 as giveaway on TikTok from bandits, and now they are requesting ₦100 million from me. Dear Nigerians, please help me."*

The startling allegation comes amid ongoing controversy surrounding reports that suspected bandits had allegedly been distributing money through social media giveaways, attracting hundreds of Nigerians who reportedly submitted their account details in hopes of receiving cash.

As the video spreads online, many Nigerians are asking:
Was this a trap from the beginning?How did alleged criminals get access to social media giveaways?
And why would anyone demand ₦100 million after giving out just ₦100,000?

While the man's claims have not been independently verified by security agencies, the story has triggered widespread debate about desperation, online safety, and the dangers of accepting money from unknown sources.

Many social media users have warned Nigerians to be extremely careful about participating in giveaways linked to individuals whose identities, intentions, or sources of wealth cannot be verified.

Others believe the incident should serve as a lesson about the risks of engaging with suspected criminal networks online.

Meanwhile, authorities are yet to issue an official statement regarding the allegation.

Crime › Don't Play Politics With Our Lives! Oyo Principal Speaks Out (VIDEO) by MATV(op): 6:26pm On Jun 08
DAY 24 IN CAPTIVITY: Kidnapped Oyo Vice Principal Speaks Out, Reveals What Abductors Really Want (VIDEO)

Fresh concerns have emerged over the fate of the kidnapped teachers and pupils from Oyo State after one of the victims appeared in a new video from captivity.

Mrs. Alamu Folawe, Vice Principal of Community Grammar School, Ahoro-Esinle, has made an emotional appeal to the government, urging authorities to act quickly before the situation worsens.

In the viral video released on Monday, June 8, 2026, the visibly distressed vice principal pleaded with government officials not to politicize the ordeal of those still being held hostage.

However, one particular claim from her message has sparked widespread reactions.

According to Mrs. Folawe, reports circulating that the abductors are demanding money or the implementation of Sharia law are not accurate.

Instead, she alleged that the kidnappers are demanding the release of some of their members currently in government custody.

Her revelation has raised fresh questions about the true motives behind the mass abduction that shocked Oyo State and the nation.

Mrs. Folawe was among the teachers and pupils kidnapped during the attack on Community Grammar School in Ahoro-Esinle, Oriire Local Government Area.

More than three weeks after the incident, families of the victims remain anxious as they await positive news about their loved ones.

The latest video has intensified calls for urgent intervention, with many Nigerians demanding stronger action from security agencies and government authorities.

As the crisis continues, many are asking:

If the kidnappers' demands are truly about the release of detained members, should the government negotiate?

Or should security agencies focus entirely on rescue operations without making concessions?

Remi Tinubu Did Not Behave Like a Mother – Primate Ayodele Slams First Lady Over Oyo Schoolchildren Crisis

A fresh controversy has erupted after popular Nigerian cleric, Primate Elijah Ayodele, openly criticized First Lady Oluremi Tinubu over her response to the recent schoolchildren crisis in Oyo State.

The outspoken cleric accused the First Lady of failing to show the kind of compassion and leadership expected of a mother figure during a period of national distress.

Speaking during a public address, Primate Ayodele expressed disappointment over what he described as the First Lady's silence regarding the plight of the affected schoolchildren.

According to him, Mrs. Tinubu should have taken a more active and visible role by publicly demanding action and showing solidarity with the victims and their families.

In his words:
"Remi Tinubu, you did not behave like a mother at all. You should have done what Jonathan's wife did. You never protested and demanded that these Oyo school children be brought back. Instead, you were busy distributing cars for political campaigns."

The remarks have since sparked heated reactions across social media platforms.

While some Nigerians agreed with the cleric and argued that national leaders and their spouses should be more vocal during times of crisis, others defended the First Lady, insisting that public appearances are not the only way support can be shown.

The comments come amid growing concerns about insecurity and the safety of schoolchildren across parts of the country.

What do you think about Primate Ayodele's criticism of the First Lady?

Should Oluremi Tinubu have spoken out more publicly about the Oyo schoolchildren situation, or is the criticism unfair?

Politics › Tinubu Has Given His Best — Fayose Blames Buhari For Nigeria’s Security Crisis by MATV(op): 12:31pm On Jun 02
“Tinubu Has Given His Best” — Fayose Blames Buhari For Nigeria’s Security Crisis (VIDEO)

Former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose has stirred fresh political debate after defending President Bola Tinubu’s handling of insecurity while placing much of the blame on the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television, Fayose argued that although Tinubu may not be perfect, he has done his best to tackle the country’s security challenges since taking office.

According to the former governor, the security situation inherited from the previous administration was already deeply damaged before Tinubu assumed power.

In his words:

> “President Tinubu may not be a perfect person, but he has given his best. Things were worse at the end of Buhari’s administration.”

Fayose further claimed that Tinubu effectively "handed government to himself" because he succeeded Buhari from the same ruling party and was forced to manage the consequences of decisions made under the previous administration.

The former governor also suggested that insecurity is being used as a political weapon against Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Drawing comparisons with the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan, Fayose argued that insecurity has often been used to weaken sitting presidents politically.

His comments have generated intense reactions online.

While some Nigerians agreed that Tinubu inherited serious security challenges, others argued that the current administration should be judged based on its own performance after three years in office.

The remarks come amid growing national concerns over kidnappings, attacks on communities, and recent school abductions that have sparked protests in parts of the country.

Now many Nigerians are asking:

Did Tinubu inherit a security crisis that was already out of control?
Or should the current administration take full responsibility for the state of insecurity today?

Politics › Tinubu Ole! Angry Oyo Protesters Protests Over School Kidnappings (video) by MATV(op): 5:56pm On Jun 01
“Enough Is Enough!” — Thousands Of Oyo Residents Flood Streets As Anger Erupts Over School Kidnappings (VIDEO)

Massive protests rocked Oyo State on Monday as thousands of angry residents, teachers, students, and activists took to the streets over the worsening security crisis following the kidnapping of more than 46 pupils, students, and teachers in Oriire Local Government Area.

The demonstrations, which brought parts of Ibadan and Ogbomoso to a standstill, have become one of the biggest public reactions yet to the shocking school abductions.

In Ibadan, protesters gathered in large numbers at Mokola Roundabout carrying placards and chanting solidarity songs before marching to the Agodi Secretariat and Government House.

But what many residents are asking is:

How could dozens of schoolchildren and teachers be kidnapped without a successful rescue operation weeks later?

The anger was equally visible in Ogbomoso, where protesters occupied major roads and demanded urgent government intervention.

Many demonstrators accused authorities of not doing enough to secure the release of the victims.

The protests also received strong support from teachers after the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) in Oyo State declared an indefinite strike, insisting that schools cannot continue operating under unsafe conditions.

Beyond insecurity, many protesters also expressed frustration over rising food prices, inflation, and the economic hardship affecting families across the state.

The demonstrations were reportedly led by groups including the Take-It-Back Movement, NANS, labour activists, and teachers' organisations.

While government officials have appealed for calm and assured residents that security agencies are working to rescue the victims, many protesters insist that words are no longer enough.

They are demanding immediate action and concrete results.

Politics › Defence Minister Rates Tinubu Government 70% On Security Despite KIDNAPPINGS by MATV(op): 3:08pm On May 29
Security Has Improved By 70%” — Defence Minister Rates Tinubu Govt Despite Rising School Abductions

Nigeria’s Defence Minister, Christopher Musa, has sparked mixed reactions online after rating President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration between 65% and 70% in handling the country’s security challenges.

Speaking during an interview on ARISE News, the Defence Minister said there has been notable progress in the fight against terrorism and insurgency compared to previous years.

According to him, terrorism has reduced significantly, although isolated cases of kidnapping and attacks still persist in different parts of the country.

He also argued that no nation is completely free from crime, stressing that Nigeria has recorded gains through ongoing military operations and international cooperation.

However, what is currently generating debate online is the timing of the statement.

The comments come amid fresh concerns over school abductions in some parts of the country, including reported incidents in Borno and Oyo States, which have raised public anxiety about safety in schools and rural communities.

Christopher Musa also described kidnapping as a wider societal issue, calling for stronger family values, community involvement, and collective responsibility in tackling insecurity.

He further revealed that Nigerian forces recently carried out successful operations against terrorist elements, including the reported elimination of a senior ISIS-linked commander after intelligence tracking.

The Defence Minister added that Nigeria continues to receive support from countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, France, Brazil, and Turkey in strengthening counter-terrorism efforts.

But Nigerians online remain divided.

Some agree that progress has been made compared to previous years, especially in areas previously controlled by insurgents.

Others insist that frequent kidnappings and attacks show that insecurity is still a major national crisis.

Now many are asking:

Is Nigeria truly safer today than before?

“Tinubu Has Done Very Well” — Akpabio Says Insurgent Flags & Bomb Attacks Have Reduced In Nigeria

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has sparked serious reactions online after praising President Bola Tinubu’s handling of insecurity in Nigeria.

Speaking during a public appearance, Akpabio stated that the current administration has made significant progress in tackling insurgency and violent attacks across the country.

According to him, insurgent groups can no longer openly control territories or raise their flags in Nigeria the way they allegedly did in previous years.

He also claimed that organized bomb attacks that once created fear in different parts of the country have greatly reduced under President Tinubu’s administration.

“Tinubu has done very well,” Akpabio reportedly stated while defending the government’s security efforts.

However, his comments immediately triggered heated reactions online.

While some Nigerians agreed with the Senate President and acknowledged improvements in certain areas, many others strongly disagreed with his assessment of the country’s security situation.

Several social media users argued that despite the reduction in high-profile bomb attacks, many communities across Nigeria still reportedly face kidnappings, killings, and attacks from armed groups.

Others accused political leaders of being disconnected from the daily struggles and fears faced by ordinary Nigerians.

The statement has now reignited national conversations about insecurity, governance, and whether Nigerians are truly safer today compared to previous years.
