By Mahmoud Bala Alfa, Ph.D. Kogi State is a place of many voices, defined by its different languages, cultures, and histories that have grown side by side over time. From the East to the West, and across the Central axis, this diversity should be a source of strength. It should create balance, build understanding, and give the state a shared sense of direction that reflects the richness of its people. But, this has not fully been our experience. Over the years, what should have brought us together has taken a more complex path. Not always in ways that are loud or confrontational, but in something quieter like in how we see ourselves, how we relate to one another, and how we understand representation. The differences that should have strengthened our shared voice have instead created a subtle separation, felt more in attitude than in appearance. At the same time, it is important to acknowledge that Kogi State has not stood still. Under the leadership of His Excellency, Yahay...

In a move aimed at supporting Nigeria’s military, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has announced the creation of a dedicated welfare fund for members of the Armed Forces, including those wounded in the line of duty and the families of fallen soldiers. The announcement came on Sunday, coinciding with the President’s 74th birthday. According to Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu has pledged all his salaries since taking office as seed funding for the initiative, underlining his commitment to ensuring that military personnel and their families are properly cared for. Bayo Onanuga explained that the President has directed the Accountant-General of the Federation to set up a special account to manage the fund. It will provide targeted support to injured service members, as well as widows, widowers, and children of those who died in service. The Special Adviser said President Tinubu has also called on state governors, members of the National Assembly, the private sector, friends, and well...

By Opaluwa Oguche A quiet but significant shift may be taking place in the Obedient movement camp as Isaac Balami, once a visible figure within the Obidient movement, has announced plans to move a large portion of that structure into the All Progressives Congress. For many young Nigerians who invested time, energy, and belief into the Obidient movement, this is personal.  It raises questions about loyalty, direction, and what happens when movements built on passion meet the harsh reality that highlights the importance of political structure. Balami stated that his decision is rooted in conviction. Having worked closely within the system, he believes aligning with the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu offers a more practical path to influence and inclusion, emphasising what this holds for young people and underrepresented communities. His argument is simple but difficult to ignore. In Nigeria, emotions alone do not win elections.  They are won by structure, reach,...

It would be recalled that the APC  party released prices for her nomination and interests forms during their well attended convention at Eagle Square. Worthy of note is the high price for the forms as the form for president goes for 200million, Governor goes for 150million, senate goes for 100million with house of reps and Assembly going for 70 and 20million respectively.  In light of that, the Echoga Boys pledge to purchase the APC Kogi State House of Assembly nomination form for Sumaila Muhammed Attah Enjema regardless of the cost. It is said he is contesting one of the Ankpa state Assembly seats.  This is not just ordinary support, it is a clear show of loyalty, confidence, and belief in a man many see as capable of delivering credible representation for Ankpa II. At a time when trust in leadership is often questioned, this move sends a strong message that the people are ready to stand behind someone they believe has the vision, capacity, and passion to lea...

A woman has gone viral after sharing a deeply personal story about how her marriage began and what convinced her that her husband was the one. According to her, their relationship started during the lockdown and was long distance. Her husband had already proposed to her over the phone when something unusual happened. She said one morning, she felt led to tell him a secret she had hidden for years that she had been bedwetting since childhood and it never stopped, even into her 20s. Confused and embarrassed, she first spoke to her sister, who told her plainly “If you tell him and he leaves, then he was never your husband. If he stays, then that’s your husband.” She eventually gathered the courage and told him the truth. His response surprised her. He told her it wasn’t a problem and described it as something God would use to show His power in her life. From that point, she said she was open with him, telling him every time it happened which she described as frequent,...

Izzy Ogbeide has responded directly to viral claims that she is controlling or forcing her younger husband into their marriage. In a now trending video, she stood beside him and addressed critics, asking him openly “Did I force you into this marriage in any way?” She maintained that their relationship is based on love and mutual choice, not pressure, stressing that she never begged or compelled him to stay. Her husband, seen in the video, gave brief responses and gestures but did not make any extended statement. The clip has since sparked mixed reactions online some praising the move, others questioning his body language and silence. Her story is a traumatic one as she has previously spoken about her past as a survivor of human trafficking, revealing she was taken from Nigeria to Italy at a young age under false promises and forced into prostitution. According to her, she endured exploitation before eventually escaping and rebuilding her life. Today, sh...
