In what is a clear defiance to Tanzanian media personality Mange Kimambi's warning, Priscilla, daughter of actress Iyabo Ojo, has shared even more photos from her wedding to Tanzanian singer Juma Jux.

Recall that Mange had shared a post on her IG page on Friday, June 6, asking Priscilla to stop posting any content from her wedding as Tanzanian's are being distracted from serious issues such as the demand for electoral reforms ahead of their national elections.

Priscilla seems to ignore her and has now shared more photos from her wedding.

Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, has lamented that the state is currently under siege by terrorists and armed bandits.

Alia said that the recent attacks that have claimed several lives is beyond herders-farmers clash.

Recall that there has been a surge in attacks in the state in recent weeks, with several local government areas experiencing violent onslaughts that have claimed numerous lives.

The governor, who made this declaration on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday, said that the attacks are well planned and executed by terrorists. “We are under siege.

The way these attacks come and the intel we receive, it is a directed calibrated plan and then executed.

“On a daily basis we are receiving those intel. Of late, each of those intel we receive, 60 to 65 per cent of it is quite accurate.

“And then when you realise what is going on, it is beyond just conflict, it is beyond just an ethnic fight between herders and farmers in our state, it is directed, it is planned and then it is executed, it is some terrorism,” he said.

The Catholic priest-turned politician insisted that he no longer views the attacks as a clash between farmers and herders, stating that they now involve specialized killers—terrorists who engage in a form of guerrilla warfare.

He said that for some reason, none of the killers was ever caught, adding that they come in the thick of the night, hit, run and nobody sees a trace.

Recall that several persons were on Friday evening feared dead and many others injured after suspected armed herdsmen launched a fresh attack on the Makurdi–Naka road.

Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has advocated for a constitutional amendment to establish a single five- or six-year term for elected public officials in Nigeria, asserting that the current two-term structure creates distractions that undermine effective governance.

Makinde made the remarks at his residence in Ibadan while receiving a delegation of Muslim faithful, led by Deputy Governor Bayo Lawal, who visited him after Eid-el-Kabir prayers. The delegation included traditional and political leaders.

Reflecting on his own tenure, Makinde, who has been in office for six years, said his experience suggests that elected leaders are typically focused on governance for only five of the eight years due to the pressures of re-election campaigns and political speculation.

“I have spent six years already, and due to no fault of anybody, we lost the year 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Makinde said. “We lost almost one year campaigning all over the place for the second tenure. Now, people have started distracting us on what I want to do next and all of that.”

The governor noted that if such political distractions were eliminated, a single term of five or six years would allow leaders to focus fully on delivering their mandates.

“That is why I feel if you remove all these distractions, a single tenure of five or six years is actually enough to focus and do the work that we are trying to do in eight years,” he added. “It has nothing to do with me. If they say I should end it, so be it.”

Makinde emphasised that his proposal is based on data and practical experience, urging Nigerians to begin a serious national conversation about the possibility of amending the constitution.

“This is a constitutional issue. We should start looking at it. I know that it has been brought to the attention of the National Assembly, but, quite frankly, it is a model that should work for this country,” he said.

Under Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution (as amended), presidents and governors are currently allowed to serve a maximum of two four-year terms.

Makinde's comments align with similar calls made in October 2024 by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who proposed a six-year single term for the presidency and suggested that the role should rotate among Nigeria’s six geo-political zones.

However, in November 2024, the House of Representatives voted against a bill seeking to introduce a single six-year presidential term.

Big Brother Naija star, Uriel Oputa, has made an observation about Igbo men.

The reality TV star decried the alarming rate at which her Igbo brothers are marrying women old enough to be their mothers.

Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, the Afrobeats sensation, who is popularly known as Wizkid, has expressed his hope for improved governance in Nigeria and across the African continent.

Speaking at the premiere of his documentary “Wizkid: Long Live Lagos” at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York on Friday, the Starboy boss emphasised that governance is one of the key areas he hopes African countries will get right.

He encouraged other African creatives to share their stories, stressing that he has high hopes for the continent despite poor governance.

He said, “I hope that every artist from Africa gets to tell their story like this. Because I’m not the only one from that hustle, we all came from there. I feel like everyone deserves the chance to tell their story like this.

“I always wish for more success for the whole culture; from music to film to sports. And I wish for better government. I’m just a very positive human being regardless of any thing. I wish the best for everyone making amazing music and amazing art from Africa.”

Kylian Mbappé, the France captain said on Saturday that he holds no bitterness over Paris Saint-Germain winning the Champions League just a year after his move to Real Madrid.

“I didn’t leave too soon; my story with PSG was over. I am not bitter; I had reached the end of the road,” Mbappe said in a press conference ahead of Sunday’s Nations League third-place match against Germany in Stuttgart.

PSG crushed Inter Milan 5-0 to win the Champions League in Munich last Saturday, the first time the club has won the competition. 

“I tried everything, and it was destiny that meant it had to happen without me,” said Mbappe.

“PSG winning the Champions League without me doesn’t affect me. I was happy. I think they deserved it.

“They’ve had so many years where they struggled. I’ve been there too; I’ve played in every Champions League stage in Paris except for the victory.

“They’re the best team in Europe.

“I don’t remember seeing a team win 5-0 in a major final.” 

Renowned Nigerian constitutional lawyer and human rights advocate, Professor Mike Ozekhome (SAN), has cautioned that the country is “unknowingly drifting toward a one-party state,” warning that such a path could ultimately result in a full-blown dictatorship if citizens do not push back.

Speaking on Channels Television’s “Hard Copy” program on Saturday, Ozekhome expressed deep concern over the current political landscape, lamenting what he described as “bootlicking at its highest level” and the increasing trend of political decampments and cross-carpeting by elected officials.

He argued that such actions demonstrate a lack of ideological grounding among politicians, who appear to prioritise personal gain over party principles. 

“It’s like beans, akara, and moi-moi; they’re the same,” Ozekhome stated, criticising the lack of scruples among those who switch parties.

He contended that this erosion of ideological differentiation is a dangerous move, as a one-party state inevitably leads to unchecked power.

He said, “In a one-party state, dictatorship reigns supreme.

“Everybody will agree. National Assembly pocketed, judiciary will be pocketed, and everybody will be saying ‘yes, yes, yes.'”

The Senior Advocate of Nigeria drew historical parallels, citing the example of the PDP’s 16-year rule when they famously boasted of governing for 60 years, only to implode.

He suggested that while President Bola Tinubu has strategically placed his people in critical sectors of governance, this could lead to a scenario where Tinubu “virtually runs against himself” in the 2027 elections if the opposition remains fractured.

Ozekhome also expressed dismay at the public’s apparent docility, which he likened to a “Stockholm Syndrome.”

He argued that the average Nigerian, pushed to the wall by hardship, would rather retreat than challenge their aggressors, leading to a state of “helplessness and hopelessness.”

He urged Nigerians to be resilient and hold their governments accountable, reminding them that “the power is yours; it is not theirs.”

Singer Darey Art Alade and his wife Deola on Friday survived a car fire on the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos State.

The pair posted videos on social media on Saturday showing the car burning. 

Some of the videos showed people trying to stop the fire albeit unsuccessfully. Fire service personnel later put out the fire.

“Yesterday, around 4pm, our car caught fire on the 3rd Mainland Bridge and burnt to the ground,” the couple wrote in a joint post.

“It was a shocking and painful experience, but we’re incredibly grateful that the driver made it out safely. No lives were lost, and that’s what truly matters.”

They stressed that the incident reminded them about the irrelevance of material possessions compared to life.

“We’re not sharing this for sympathy but to remind someone that things can be replaced. Lives cannot. We’re choosing to remain thankful to God for protection, for perspective, and for the quiet strength to keep going,” they added.

“If you’re navigating a sudden loss of any kind, we hope this reminds you: we can rebuild. We can begin again and find the strength to keep going. One breath, one prayer, one step at a time. We give thanks in all things. Thank you to everyone that stopped to help.”
