Adeboye sends powerful message to Tinubu
Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has called on the federal government to guarantee that football coaches be fairly and equally recognised for their work…CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
This comes after the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) saw Nigeria’s Super Falcons win. Books about Nigerian history Pastor Adeboye praised President Bola Tinubu for the financial gift given to the winning team during his sermon titled “The Winning Team” at RCCG’s monthly Thanksgiving service, which was held at the Throne of Grace Parish in Ebute-Metta, Lagos. However, he insisted that coaches like Justin Madugu should receive the same consideration as the players. Adeboye remarked, “I am grateful to the President for rewarding the Falcons.”
However, I don’t understand why the coaches would receive less. Yes, the players are superstars, but there wouldn’t be a win without the coaches’ leadership. “God bless them, coaches are important,” he continued. President Tinubu’s announcement that each of the 24 Falcons’ squad members would receive $100,000 (in naira equivalent) after the team won the WAFCON title was highly applauded across. He declared that each coach would receive $50,000. Ekiti 2026: Former Envoy cautions against undervaluing ADC
Dare Bejide, a leader of the African Democratic Party (ADC) in Ekiti, has cautioned against undervaluing the party, claiming it will surprise voters in upcoming elections, such as the state’s 2026 gubernatorial race. The leaders of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, the All Progressives Congress, APC, and others are joining and identifying with the party, according to former Ambassador to Canada Bejide, who said the group is rapidly gaining ground in the nation’s political landscape.
While celebrating his 66th birthday with his political allies, friends, supporters, and party members, the state’s first PDP secretary, who is running for governor on the ADC platform, gave a speech yesterday in Ado Ekiti. “Every day, more and more people join the party,” he remarked. Just wait and see from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), the All Progressives Congress (APC), and other major groups. In my opinion, once I receive the party’s ticket and mandate.
For example, I served as the state’s first PDP secretary. Since the party has since been taken over by the “bad boys,” no one wants to mess with the “pig,” so we departed. Democracy has taken off in the APC as well, and everyone wants to be in an environment where it can thrive. Additionally, I am aware that other parties are unable to hold a transparent primary because they will force candidates on their constituents, but we in ADC will. We will speak with anyone who feel wronged when they arrive. Niger’s government is given 48 hours by IPI to reopen Badegi FM.
Mohammed Bago, the governor of Niger State, has been given a 48-hour ultimatum by the International Press Institute Nigeria, which calls for the immediate and unconditional reopening of Badegi 90.1 FM. On Friday, August 1, the state government shut down Badegi FM, an independent radio station in Minna, the state capital, for allegedly airing anti-Bago material. IPI Nigeria called the closure “yet another crackdown on freedom of expression and media freedom by the current administration in Niger State under Governor Bago” in a news release on Sunday that was co-signed by its president, Musikilu Mojeed, and legal adviser, Tobi Soniyi.
The group threatened to add the governor’s name to its Book of Infamy, a list of prominent figures renowned for suppressing or intimidating the media, if the suspension was not lifted within 48 hours. “IPI Nigeria will be forced to add Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago’s name to our Book of Infamy if he does not unconditionally lift this unlawful suspension within the next 48 hours,” the statement said in part. Citing past incidents of mistreatment of journalists in the state, the institute also remembered what it called an increasing pattern of persecution against the press in Niger State. Keyamo defends the N712 billion redevelopment of Lagos Airport.
The Federal Government’s decision to invest N712 billion in renovating Lagos’s Murtala Mohammed International Airport is motivated by the urgent need to replace deteriorating infrastructure, increase capacity, and bring the country’s busiest airport up to contemporary international standards, according to Festus Keyamo, Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development. Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, provided this justification in a statement released on Sunday in response to the transformation project’s recent approval by the Federal Executive Council.
Following Monday’s Federal Executive Council meeting, the FG authorised airport projects totalling N919.10 billion. According to him, the package includes “massive infrastructural upgrades” at several important gateways, particularly Lagos’s Murtala Muhammed International Airport. He clarified that the award to CCECC, which also covers Terminal 2 works (apron enlargement, access roads, bridges, and related infrastructure), would completely rebuild MMIA, International Terminal 1 after all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems have been replaced. “To further enunciate our plans for the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos, let me further clarify the approval we secured from the Federal Executive Council Meeting last week,” the minister said, defending the enormous sums set aside for these projects….CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
