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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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. Checks 20 days after the operation revealed the 'stu

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.

"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

There is a small town on your way to Oyo, just behind Fiditi, it's called Ilu Ajẹ. Literally, it translates to "Town of Witches". In the late 80s,  there used to be a sign board in Fiditi that pointed to the path to the village,  the signboard had the inscription : "WAY TO ILU AJẸ, HOME OF SCIENCE!". Lots of people used to fear indigenes of Ilu Ajẹ because it was said that every man in Ilu Ajẹ is born of a witch, and every woman in ilu Ajẹ is a witch!. It was said some people visited Ilu Ajẹ to find out why a whole village would be populated by witches. What they said: Because the Baale (village head) is dead and no replacement has been chosen yet, we met with the chiefs who told us the history of the town. The father of the current Alaafin, i.e Alaafin Adeyemi II was said to have many siblings when he was young. One of his siblings got missing!  A king's son got missing ke? Infact, scrap it,  Alaafin of Oyo in those days was not a king,  he was an Emperor!
