Tinubu Still Doesn’t Trust Me Because I’m Igbo — Cubana Chief Priest Speaks After APC Election Defeat (VIDEO)

Popular Nigerian socialite and celebrity barman Pascal Okechukwu has sparked major reactions online after opening up about his reported APC primary election loss and his relationship with Bola Tinubu.

Speaking during a live session with streamer Peller, Cubana Chief Priest made several controversial statements that are now trending across social media.

Despite reportedly losing in the APC primary, the businessman insisted he is not giving up on politics anytime soon.

According to him, online trolls and criticism do not bother him because many of the people insulting him on social media are not financially successful.

“I’ll never give up even if I lose again. All these people wey dey troll me for IG and Twitter, I checked their page and none of them get G-Wagon.”

The celebrity businessman also revealed that several major media houses allegedly reached out to interview him after the election result, but he deliberately chose to speak through Peller instead.

“Everybody dey call me, TVC dey call me, Channels dey call me, but you’re the only one I replied because I’m for the youths. I have a plan B, maybe God wants me to be the Governor.”

However, the statement currently causing the biggest debate online was his claim about President Tinubu and ethnic trust in politics.

According to Cubana Chief Priest:

“Tinubu still doesn’t fully trust me because I’m Igbo and I once worked for Peter Obi, so they feel I could betray him.”

The comments have since generated heated reactions online, with Nigerians debating issues surrounding ethnicity, political loyalty, power, and classism.

Some people praised him for speaking openly about political realities in Nigeria.

Others, however, blasted his comments about poor people and questioned his political seriousness.

Meanwhile, many Nigerians are now asking:

Did Cubana Chief Priest reveal an uncomfortable truth about politics in Nigeria?
Or was he simply making excuses after losing politically?

Only 3 People Voted For Ned Nwoko? Senator Reacts After Heavy Defeat To Okowa In Delta APC Primary (VIDEO)

Fresh political drama has erupted in Delta State after reports claimed former governor Ifeanyi Okowa overwhelmingly defeated Senator Ned Nwoko during the APC Delta North senatorial primary ahead of the 2027 elections.

The shocking outcome has now triggered massive reactions online — especially after a viral video from the primary began circulating across social media.

In the trending clip, officials supervising the exercise were seen physically counting supporters standing behind each candidate.

But what stunned many Nigerians was the alleged result from the physical count:

• Supporters for Ifeanyi Okowa — 6,922 people
• Supporters for Ned Nwoko — just 3 people

The video immediately went viral, with many social media users expressing disbelief over the dramatic difference in support between both political heavyweights.

Further reports circulating online later alleged that the final primary figures showed another crushing victory for Okowa:

• Ifeanyi Okowa — 113,309 votes
• Ned Nwoko — 2,612 votes
• Maryam Alli — 40 votes

Following the reports, Ned Nwoko reacted by appreciating his supporters across Delta North for standing by him throughout the exercise.

Although he acknowledged the results making rounds online, the senator stated that he was still waiting for official confirmation from the APC national committee.

He also insisted that the turnout reflected strong political participation and trust from supporters who still believe in his leadership.

But many Nigerians are now asking:

Did Ned Nwoko truly lose grassroots support in Delta North?
Or was the outcome already politically decided before the primary?

The development has once again exposed the growing political tension and shifting alliances ahead of the 2027 general elections.

SHOCKING MOMENT: Priest Falls Inside Grave During Burial Service, Ceremony Ends Abruptly (VIDEO)

Mourners were left terrified after a shocking incident reportedly occurred during a burial service in Ghana when a priest suddenly lost his balance and fell directly into a grave.

The disturbing moment, which has now gone viral across social media, reportedly brought the entire funeral ceremony to an abrupt end.

According to eyewitness reports, the priest was standing close to the grave while conducting prayers when he appeared unstable and tried to hold onto a colleague beside him.

Seconds later, tragedy almost struck.

He reportedly lost balance and tumbled straight into the grave, landing on top of the coffin in front of shocked mourners.

The viral video capturing the moment has since triggered massive reactions online, with many people debating whether the incident was caused by exhaustion, a medical condition, or something more spiritual.

Some social media users claimed the priest may have been physically weak due to stress and overwork often faced by clergy members.

Others, however, described the moment as deeply frightening after seeing how suddenly the incident happened during the solemn burial rite.

Funeral attendants and mourners quickly rushed into the grave area to rescue him before carrying him away for urgent medical attention.

The burial ceremony was reportedly stopped immediately after the incident.

As the video continues trending online, many people are also discussing the importance of proper medical care, rest, and emergency response during public gatherings.

You Can’t Fight Terrorism With Innocent Blood — Gumi Reacts After US-Nigeria Operation Reportedly Eliminates Top ISIS Commander (VIDEO)

Popular Islamic cleric Ahmad Gumi has stirred fresh reactions online after responding to reports that a top ISIS commander was reportedly killed during a joint military operation involving American forces and the Nigerian military.

The controversial statement has now sparked heated debate across social media.

What exactly did Sheikh Gumi mean by “hands stained with innocent blood”?

According to reports, the operation allegedly led to the elimination of Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, described as the second-in-command of ISIS globally.

The mission was reportedly carried out through collaboration between United States forces and the Nigerian Armed Forces after extensive intelligence gathering.

Reacting through a Facebook post, Gumi acknowledged that terrorists must be confronted but warned against military operations that could allegedly affect innocent civilians.

In his words:

“It’s a religious obligation to annihilate terrorists, but not with Beelzebub and hands stained with the blood of innocent men, women, and children.”

The statement came shortly after Donald Trump announced that the operation targeted one of ISIS’ most dangerous leaders allegedly responsible for coordinating attacks affecting both Africa and Western interests.

Trump reportedly praised the Nigerian government and military authorities for cooperating with American forces during the operation.

But while many Nigerians celebrated the reported killing of a top ISIS figure, others are now debating Gumi’s warning about civilian casualties and accountability during anti-terror operations.

Some people believe his concerns are valid and that innocent lives must always be protected during military operations.

Others, however, insist the focus should remain on eliminating dangerous terrorist networks threatening national security.

The issue has once again reopened conversations about terrorism, military transparency, and the balance between national security and civilian protection in Nigeria.

EFCC Arraigns Blessing CEO Over Alleged ₦36 Million Fraud — Court Rejects Settlement Move

Popular relationship therapist and controversial social media personality Okoro Blessing Nkiruka, popularly known as Blessing CEO, is now at the center of a major legal battle after being arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over an alleged ₦36 million fraud case in Lagos.

The dramatic court proceedings have already triggered massive reactions online, with many Nigerians asking:

*Is this the biggest controversy of Blessing CEO’s career so far?*

According to reports, the influencer appeared before Justice D.I. Dipeolu at the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, on Friday, May 15, 2026, where she pleaded *not guilty* to all charges.

The EFCC accused her of allegedly obtaining ₦36 million from a woman identified as Mrs. Ifeyinwa Nonye Okoye under claims that the money was meant for leasing a luxury six-bedroom duplex in Lekki.

However, the anti-graft agency alleged the representation was false and that the money was converted for personal use.

What made the courtroom drama even more intense was the revelation by her lawyer that Blessing CEO had already refunded ₦24 million to the petitioner.

Her legal team reportedly begged the court for more time to settle the remaining balance privately, claiming the complainant was willing to push for withdrawal of the case once payment was completed.

But the EFCC strongly opposed the move.

According to the prosecution, the matter had already become a criminal case involving the Federal Government and could not simply disappear because of private settlement talks.

The judge agreed with the EFCC and refused to halt the proceedings.

Following her plea, Blessing CEO was ordered to remain in EFCC custody pending further court proceedings.

The case has now been adjourned till June 5, 2026, for trial commencement.

As expected, Nigerians online are divided.

Some believe the matter should be resolved privately since partial repayment has allegedly been made.

Others insist the case must continue fully in court to serve as a lesson and test of accountability.

“If Not For Tinubu, I For Don Lose My Job”
Fresh political tension is currently brewing inside Lagos APC after Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, Femi Gbajabiamila, publicly distanced himself from actor-turned-politician Desmond Elliot ahead of the APC primaries.

Speaking during an APC stakeholders’ meeting in Surulere on May 14, 2026, Gbajabiamila openly withdrew support for Desmond Elliot and instead declared backing for Barakat Odunuga-Bakare.

But what shocked many Nigerians most was his explosive revelation about President Tinubu and the Lagos Assembly crisis.

According to Gbajabiamila, President Tinubu personally confronted him over allegations linking Desmond Elliot to lawmakers involved in the controversial impeachment moves against reinstated Lagos Assembly Speaker Mudashiru Obasa.

Gbajabiamila claimed Tinubu allegedly told him:

“I hear this Desmond is your boy that we gave you in Surulere. He is among those causing problems in the Lagos Assembly. Go and tell him to retrace his steps.”

The former Speaker further revealed that the controversy became so serious that his own name allegedly started appearing as one of the sponsors of the Assembly crisis.

Then came the statement now causing massive reactions online:

“If not for my relationship with Mr President, I for don lose my job.”

The revelation has since sparked fresh conversations about alleged power struggles, loyalty battles, and deepening cracks within Lagos APC ahead of 2027.

Many Nigerians are now asking:

Did Desmond Elliot truly betray political trust within Lagos APC?
Or is he being sacrificed because of larger political interests behind the scenes?

Drama in Court as Justice Crack’s Bail Suddenly Stalls After Lawyer Withdraws Application (VIDEO)

Fresh drama unfolded at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday as the bail application of social media activist Justice Chidiebere Mark, popularly known as Justice Crack, was unexpectedly withdrawn during court proceedings.

The shocking development immediately sparked reactions online, with many Nigerians questioning what may really be happening behind the scenes.

According to reports, Justice Crack’s lawyer, Marshal Abubakar, withdrew the bail application during the May 14 hearing, causing confusion among supporters who had gathered hoping for his possible release.

The activist has remained in DSS custody since his arrest over viral videos where he allegedly exposed poor feeding conditions and welfare challenges faced by Nigerian soldiers fighting insurgency in Maiduguri.

His case quickly became one of the most talked-about stories online after reports emerged that he allegedly disappeared shortly after informing his wife he was heading for a meeting.

His vehicle was later reportedly discovered at a military facility in Abuja before authorities confirmed he was in custody.

While security agencies accused him of cyber-related offences and spreading content capable of affecting military operations, many Nigerians insist he should be seen as a whistleblower speaking on issues affecting soldiers.

But what has now intensified public curiosity is the sudden courtroom twist.

Why was the bail application withdrawn unexpectedly?

Was there disagreement over legal strategy?
Or is there more to the case Nigerians are not being told?

Reports alleging mistreatment during detention have also continued to circulate online, although authorities are yet to publicly address those claims.

Meanwhile, protests demanding his release have continued in Abuja, with supporters calling for justice and fair treatment under the law.

BBNaija Drama: Ilebaye’s Father Breaks Silence on Viral Family Dispute — “What Really Happened Between Us” (VIDEO)

The father of former Big Brother Naija winner Ilebaye Odiniya has finally spoken out following the ongoing controversy surrounding his alleged dispute with his daughter.

In a viral audio recording now circulating online, Hon. Emmanuel Godson Odiniya reportedly gave his own version of events, shedding light on what may have led to the family tension.

According to him, he played a major role during Ilebaye’s BBNaija All Stars journey, allegedly mobilising support and encouraging people from Kogi State and beyond to vote massively for her.

He further claimed that several individuals, including political associates, contributed financially to support her win on the show.

However, he alleged that things became strained after the show when he expected public appreciation from his daughter towards those who supported her victory.

The situation reportedly worsened when he requested financial assistance for a medical check-up abroad, but claims she was unable to help at the time.

In a more emotional part of the audio, he also referenced seeing videos online of Ilebaye spraying money at a colleague’s wedding something he said left him deeply hurt.

“If you help your father, is anything wrong?” he was heard saying in the recording.

The revelations have since sparked heated debate online, with Nigerians divided over family responsibility, expectations, and personal boundaries.

While some sympathise with the father’s grievances, others insist that such issues should remain private and not be dragged into public space.

Many also argue that no matter the situation, family disputes should never escalate into public confrontation.

But one question is now dominating conversations online:
What really happened behind closed doors in this family?

“DON’T DRINK WATER IN CHURCH” — Pastor David Obiyeome’s Strict Rules Spark Massive Debate Online (VIDEO)

A viral video of popular preacher David Obiyeome is currently causing serious reactions across social media after he issued strong warnings about behavior inside church.

During a church service, the founder of Salvation Ministries warned members against chewing gum, drinking water, and using phones inside the auditorium.

His comments have now divided Nigerians online.

While some people say the pastor is absolutely right about discipline and reverence in God’s house, others believe the rules are too extreme and outdated for modern worship.
