Twitter owner, Elon Musk, has said that the microblogging platform will soon be paying users for ads appearing when other people view their profiles in what comes as an extension of Twitter's monetization program. This offer is, however, exclusively for verified users, according to Musk. For creators on Twitter who are already getting paid for impressions on their content, the Twitter boss said the new monetization program would make it a double payout. In what appears to be an attempt to woo more users to pay for the blue tick, Musk said several accounts on Twitter could earn thousands of dollars if they become verified. Announcing the new monetization plan via a tweet, Musk said: "You'll soon also be paid for ads appearing when others view your profile page, approximately doubling payouts. "Many accounts on this platform can earn thousands of dollars per month in advertising revenue sharing if they become verified subscribers!" Twitter last week commenced its p

The president stated this while speaking at the graduation of Course 45 of the Armed Forces Command and Staff College, Jaji, Kaduna State. Tinubu, a former Lagos State governor, pledged more support for the military as he commended them for protecting the territorial integrity of the nation.

Two hundred and ninety-one participants graduated and were conferred with the Passed Staff Course (PSC) honor.

Ahmed Ololade, known by his stage name Asake, recently opened up about a not-so-pleasant encounter during a performance. In an interview with the Ginger Yourself podcast, the singer narrated how he attempted to gain attention and popularity by emulating the late Fela Kuti's style. Asake decided to wear only pants, reminiscent of Fela's iconic look, and performed alongside scantily-clad ladies on stage. His intention was to capture the audience's attention, but the action ended up backfiring terribly. Recalling the unfortunate incident, Asake shared, "I packed like six girls on stage and asked them to be half-naked. You know, one thing about Nigerians is that once people are naked, they just forget about all the things that are happening and just focus. But these people at the concert were stubborn." As he made his grand entrance, expecting a positive reception, the audience's reaction caught him by surprise. He explained, "I just walked in majestically as

The National Public Relations Officer of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), Yakubu Suleiman, has said that even with the sudden hike in the pump price of petrol in Nigeria, the country still has the cheapest price of the product among other African countries. He stated this during a chat with ARISE TV concerning the recent hike in the price of Premium Motor Spirit, otherwise known as petrol. Suleiman also blamed the sudden hike in the pump price of petrol on the cost of dollars. He explained that petroleum products are imported to Nigeria using dollars, hence the increase. Fire destroys shops in Kano market Salihu Lukman: Replacing Adamu with Ganduje will be suicidal He said, "The rise in price was caused, as usual, by the market forces. Market now determines prices. And secondly because of the dollar. You know the higher the crude oil price, the product price locally will also be higher. So at the time the crude oil comes down, the product will al

In Cameroon, the unintended consequences of Nigeria's fuel subsidy withdrawal ripple across the beleaguered Anglophone region. WHAT HAPPENED TO CAMEROON'S REFINERY? On the night of 29 May, 2019, the lone petroleum refinery in Cameroon was struck by a massive explosion that damaged four of its 13 production units. The incident at the 42,000 barrel-per-day SONARA refinery in Limbe, southwest Cameroon, abruptly stopped petroleum refining in Cameroon. To mitigate the effects of the damage, the government immediately accorded the National Oil Refining Company, SONARA, and other licensed agents, the right to import and market refined petroleum products across the country. Wary of inflation, the government subsidised the prices of the various imported fuel products. The price of a litre of petrol was thus fixed at FCFA 630 (approx. $ 1.4) On 1 February, 2023, with the refinery still not restored almost four years after the explosion, the government increased fuel prices. Petrol and di

The Conference Of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) has reacted to the recent hike in pump price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), otherwise known as petrol. CNPP, in a statement signed by its Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Comrade James Ezema, said that the increment less than 60 days after "the Federal Government announced the removal of subsidy is a fresh pointer that the All Progressives Congress (APC) government has never been sincere with Nigerians on the subsidy issue." The political parties also backed the House of Representatives' move "to investigate the overnight destruction of a vessel with stolen Nigerian crude oil recently without investigation or prosecution of the culprits. "In the last eight years, Nigerians have been subjected to misery as a result of the incessant increment in the pump price of petrol," the statement read in part. "Even after the said removal of subsidy on petrol, the Muhammadu Buhari administration continued to in

There are strong indications that the federal government is favourably disposed to raising the minimum wage to as high as N200k per month as demanded by the organised labour in the country. However, state governors are urging for caution while Anambra State governor Charles Soludo has been asked to chair a Technical Working Group (TWG) to resolve the issues and its various dimensions. LEADERSHIP gathered that the matter was discussed at the last month's National Economic Council (NEC) meeting and it was there that the Salaries, Incomes & Wages Commission made a presentation on how the federal government can meet up with the demand of N200,000 per month minimum wage. Sources, who spoke with Empowered News Network, revealed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is specifically and personally convinced that the demand of the organised labour is not unrealistic pointing to his campaign promises as a proof of his readiness to handle the challenge.

Several reactions have trailed the increase in the pump prices of Petrol, known as Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), from 537 to 617 naira per Liter. The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has further increased pump prices of Petrol across the country. NNPC filling stations in Abuja witnessed brief queues, particularly the one located along Murtala Mohammed Express road in Kado remained shut for a few hours as the Petrol attendants adjusted their fuel pumps to reflect the new price of 617 naira. Also, NNPCL filling stations in Ushafa and one of its mega stations at Durumi, in the Federal Capital Territory, increased their pump prices. Following the development, some Nigerians took to social media to berate the federal government for increasing the pump price of petrol at this time, while others mocked supporters of President Tinubu the ruling party. @bunmi_speaks wrote: "Una shege never even start.

It would be recalled that the death of popular Instagram Influencer, Augusta Osedion, who was murdered by her boyfriend Benjamin Best aka Killaboi caused an outrage. This was after 26-year-old Killaboi, who describes himself on Instagram as a blockchain developer and crypto purveyor, took to social media to confess to the alleged crime on his Instagram Story. Reacting to the story of the young man who murdered his girlfriend of three years in Lagos, the reality star, via her snap chat, mocked those 'Killing themselves' in a romantic relationship.

DJ Cuppy, fiancé, unfollow each other on Instagram Popular Nigerian disk jockey, Florence Otedola, known professionally as DJ Cuppy and her British boxer fiancé, Ryan Taylor has sparked breakup rumors after unfollowing each other on Instagram. Recall that the daughter of Nigerian business mogul Femi Otedola had in December 2022 announced her engagement to the British boxer just 25 days after they met each other. However, it seems things might not be going too well between the couple after they unfollowed each other on the popular social media platform, Instagram. A check by Tribune Online shows that Ryan Taylor has unfollowed the disk jockey and she has equally reciprocated the gesture. Fueling the breakup rumors, Ryan Taylor shared a post on Instagram with the caption “If it’s blocking your spiritual growth, let it go.

IPOB Replies Gov Mbah On Plans To End Monday Sit-At-Home In Enugu The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has urged the Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led Federal Government to release Nnamdi Kanu if it is serious about ending the insecurity to end in the South-East. In a statement on Friday by its spokesman, Emma Powerful, IPOB knocked the Nigerian Army for linking it to the incessant sit-at-home orders and enforcement in the region. The pro-Biafra group dissociated itself from the violent enforcement of sit-at-home exercise across the South-East. It warned the army chief against unleashing terror on the South-East people in the guise of going after sit-at-home enforcers. They advised the Bola Tinubu administration not to toe the same line of the past government. IPOB said, "The Army Chief, Taoreed Lagbaja, will not claim ignorance of all the previous press releases written by IPOB led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu disassociating ourselves from Simon Ekpa and his criminal sit-at-home enforcer

In a letter to the house of representatives read by Speaker Tajudeen Abbas during plenary on Thursday, July 13, Tinubu said it was support to enable poor and vulnerable Nigerians to cope with the cost of meeting basic needs.

A schizophrenic man chopped off his p3nis with a kitchen knife and then flushed it down the toilet. Sharing gory details of the incident in a medical journal, surgeons in India told how the unidentified 52-year-old was left with a stump. The man, who had stopped taking his medication, didn't turn up to hospital until 16 hours after amputating himself. Medics said the man, from Pune, had 'no suicidal intention'. However, he attributed his action 'to voices in his head that told him to cut his p3nis or otherwise face dire consequences'. Writing in the Open Journal of Clinical and Medical Case Reports, doctors at Bharati Vidyapeeth Medical College in Pune said his scrotal skin was dislodged from the root of the penis. Medics rushed the man into surgery to clean his wound. He was given general anaesthetic to knock him out so surgeons could operate on the stump. After seven days in hospital, the man was discharged.

Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has told Igbos what to do if they want to see their embattled son and leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, freed from detention. In a Twitter post on Wednesday (yesterday ), Omokri said Kanu would regain his freedom if only the Igbos could play their cards right. The socio-political activist admonished the Igbo-speaking region to desist from violence and convert IPOB into a political party. According to him, there is more love for the Ndigbo than hatred. Omokri stressed that the Igbos could turn the Southeast into a paradise if only they could stop the violent activities allegedly perpetrated by the IPOB across the region. Tweeting, Omokri wrote: "Play your cards right, and Nnamdi Kanu will be freed. Renounce violence, as the Irish Republican Army did, and convert IPOB into a political party, the way the IRA became Sinn Féin, and democratically seize control of the Southeast, then turn it into a paradise, and ot

Mr. Romanus Ejikeme, the Father of Mmesoma Ejikeme who had reportedly forged her 2023 UTME result, has apologized to Nigerians and JAMB as he says that his daughter had lied to him. This comes after the youngster had confessed to manipulating her result unaided using her smart device. 'She lied to me While speaking in a recent interview with NTA, he admitted that his daughter hadn't open to him on what she had done. He apologized unreservedly to JAMB and Nigerians for his daughter's action. 'She lied to me Mr Ejikeme said: "My daughter did not open up to me on time; when I realised her mistake, I blamed her. "I told her, Mmesoma, be careful; you know you are a star and will not dent your image. "But I am still apologising to JAMB and Nigerians as a father to pardon her." Watch him speak:

The Anambra State Government has confirmed that Mmesoma Ejikeme manipulated her Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination result, where she actually scored 249 as against 362. In an eight-page report, the state's panel of inquiry recommended that Mmesoma immediately tender an unreserved written apology to the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, the school (Anglican Girls' Secondary School, Uruagu Nnewi), and the state government. She is also ordered to undergo psychological counselling and therapy. Recall that an eight-member panel was set up by the state governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo to investigate the ongoing controversy between the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board and Mmesoma, whose UTME result has come under controversy, with the mandate of making its findings public. Mmesoma, a student of Anglican Girls Secondary School, Nnewi, had sat for the UTME in May and came under heavy scrutiny for parading the "highest score" of 362, which JAMB later revea

Amid controversy surrounding Ejimeme Joy Mmesoma's results, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has barred her from sitting for the examination for three years. Fabian Benjamin, JAMB's spokesperson, disclosed this in a statement on Monday. According to him, the Board stands by its decision that the result being paraded by the candidate is fake. Recall that Mmesoma claimed that she scored 362, but JAMB refuted it, noting that she scored 249. The issue generated divergent views on social media; however, JAMB said Mmesoma had committed a weighty infraction. "The Board would like to reassure Nigerians that its system was neither tampered with nor compromised as the candidate simply falsified a copy of a result slip of a candidate named 'Asimiyu Mariam Omobolanle', who sat the UTME in 2021 and scored 138.

Guinness World Records made the biggest mistake of their existence by reminding Nigerians that they exist, and now, Nigerians are taking up the challenge to make or break those records for leisure. Someone from my state again, John Obot , is about to make (or break) the record for the longest time a person ever read aloud. He will be reading 25 novels for 145 hours. Do you even realize that we're Nigerians? The volume of books we read just to make it through Secondary and tertiary education, the average person overseas hasn't read in their lifetime. No exaggeration. GWR is not ready for what's coming. Nigerians alone will own an entire section of your website in just one year.  You're playing with people that casually endanger their lives every day just for the fun of it: We climb roofs without cables;  we board and alight from moving vehicles every day (even our kids can do this);  we remove items from the fire with our bare hands;  we sit in one spot and down 3 crates
