The Presidential Election Petitions Court has ruled that the Labour Party (LP) and its presidential candidate,Peter Obi, failed to specify how they obtained the majority of lawful votes during the February 25 presidential election.
In the leading judgment delivered by Justice Abba Bello Mohammed, the tribunal concluded that the Labour Party made generic allegations of irregularities, vote suppression, and corrupt practices that allegedly affected their votes, especially in states like Rivers, Benue, Lagos, Taraba, Imo, and Osun.
However, they failed to specify the specific polling units affected or present concrete evidence to substantiate their claims.
The court noted that although Peter Obi and the LP asserted that they secured the majority of lawful votes cast, they did not provide the actual number of lawful votes they received.
“The determination of election is about figures,” the court held.
Justice Mohammed further ruled that LP failed to substantiate their claims of overvoting against the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the corresponding reduction in their own vote count.
His statement comes amid Peter Obi’s ongoing legal battle over the outcome of the 2023 presidential election, in which President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was declared the winner.
During the event, Akpororo asked the audience if Peter Obi was still in court to which they responded in the affirmation. In response, the comedian said, “Obi will be in court for 8 years”.
A UK-based Nigerian lady has recounted how she almost landed into trouble for saying “sorry” in the United Kingdom.
Speaking in a video she shared on social media, the lady said she went to return an item she bought at a store after realizing that she already had the same item at home.
However, when the storekeeper started the refund process, she politely said “I’m sorry for the inconveniences”.
This unexpected apology didn’t sit well with the storekeeper and she questioned if she had used some of the product before returning it, implying that she apologized out of guilt.
Following this experience, the lady stated that Brits only apologize when they are wrong or have committed an offense.
She added that when someone falls down, Brits would only ask if they are okay, instead of saying sorry. According to her, this encounter has taught her how to deal with Brits.
Taking to the microblogging platform X, Ziyaah admonished women not to date or marry men who cannot afford the things they can do for themselves.

Big Brother Naija ‘All Stars’ housemate, Doyin Davids, recently threw a playful jab at her fellow housemate, Pere Egbi, about his appearance before getting veneers done.
The 26-year-old reality TV star stated that she saw an old photo of Pere before the procedure and he looked “ugly as fuck”.

After the housemates saw the displayed photos, Doyin who had previously admitted to liking Kiddwaya, removed his photo from the wall and kissed it, stating that she misses him. Watch here
Nigerian Catholic Priest, Fr. Kelvin Ugwu, has shared his thoughts on the viral video of single women praying fervently to get married before the end of the year.
In the trending clip, the women were seen wearing wedding gowns as a symbolic “act of faith” while fervently praying for husbands during a ‘spiritual event.’
This didn’t sit well with the missionary priest and he took to his Facebook page to strongly condemn the practice of women wearing wedding dresses to pray for husbands.
He deemed it “disgusting” and indicative of desperation, and emphasized the urgency of putting an end to the trend before it becomes accepted as normal.
Read his full post below,
“It is now becoming a trend, and the more we keep quiet, it will soon be seen as normal,” he stated.
To all those churches asking women to wear wedding gowns to church so they can pray to have husbands, what you are doing is not Christian. . . In fact, it is disgusting.
What sort of desperation is this?
Why are you not asking the men to put on wedding suits and pray for wives?
And by the way, why do you need them to put on wedding gowns, is that what makes the marriage?
And to those who will gladly hire wedding gowns and wear them to church because you were told that it would connect you to your husbands, let me ask you this
When you pray for husbands, what exactly are you telling God to do?
That he should suspend the reasoning and choosing capacity of the type of man you want (and it usually rich men you want) so that even when your attitudes, character, and personality are not what he wants, he will close his eyes to all of them and marry you?”
Big Brother Naija “All Stars” housemate, Angel, is plotting to stir up drama in the house between the on-screen couple Adekunle and Venita, and Ceec.
Angel had earlier informed Ilebaye about her plan to prank Adekunle and Venita by planting a love letter in Adekunle’s locker and falsely attributing it to Ceec.
She eventually went along with her plan and was captured hastily writing a love letter on a piece of paper and sprayed it with Ceec’s perfume to give it more credence.
In the letter, she conveyed Ceec’s alleged affection for Adekunle, asserting that she is the best woman for him.
Angel also wrote that Adekunle’s connection with Venita is merely a facade, and hopes they connect outside the house.
Watch a video of Angel reading out the letter below,
She then discreetly placed the letter inside one of Adekunle’s shirts for him to discover later.
Watch the moment she hid the letter below,
The scheme has sparked mixed reactions on social media, with many sharing their views on Angel’s actions.

Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has revealed why it is unwise for men who want a monogamous marriage to marry a woman older than them.
Taking to the micro-blogging platform X, Reno argued that men maintain their sexual libido well into their 80s and even 90s, whereas women tend to lose their sex drive after menopause.
According to him, if a woman is older than her husband and loses her libido, it may lead the man to cheat with a younger woman.
He added that it is preferrable for men to marry a woman who is way younger than them, instead of their agemate or an older woman
The controversial social media commentator wrote,
“If you are a man with a healthy libido, it is risky to marry a woman who is of the same age as you. It is also risky, but less so, to marry a woman who is just a few years younger than you. However, IF you plan on a monogamous marriage, then it will be disastrous to marry a lady who is older than you. If you both agree that you can be polygamous, then it is not a problem. You say you are in love? Listen, love cannot control your libido. You, as a man will retain your libido into your eighties and possibly nineties if God spares your life. But women do not retain theirs that long. I do not think it is fair. But gender libido imbalance is a fact of life. So, if you marry a woman who is your age mate or older than you, and she loses her libido after menopause, but you retain yours, what are you going to do? Start disturbing Unilag girls? That is why there should be a healthy age gap between husband and wife for a viable marriage.”
Sheila Courage, the wife of Davido’s personal logistics manager, Israel DMW, has set tongues wagging on social media with her recent posts.
Taking to her verified Instagram account, the 22-year-old influencer shared a series of photos and video of herself wearing a stylish denim skirt and top, complemented by black high-heeled shoes and a matching bag.
However, keen-eyed netizens couldn’t help but notice the absence of her wedding ring in the photos. This development has raised questions, especially since it has been only eleven months since she married Israel last October.
Some netizens took to her comment section to question why she wasn’t wearing her wedding ring and speculated about whether their marriage crisis rumour were true.
Recall that an unverified report claimed that Sheila has moved out of their matrimonial home and her bride price returned to Israel for reasons best known to them. However, it is alleged that Israel is trying to win her back.
Their decision to part ways comes after they experienced a marital crisis few years ago, which led to a brief separation. However, they managed to reconcile and reunite.
Following the recent update about his marriage, some netizens dug up an old interview video where he admitted that one of the reasons his marriage crashed was because he cheated on his wife.
In response to these claims, Ninalowo clarified that the video making rounds on social media was from six years ago, suggesting that it was not relevant to the current situation.
According to the 43-year-old actor, he was speaking about the reason for their marital crisis several years ago in the interview.
Evicted Big Brother Naija “All Stars” housemate, Ike Onyema has expressed guilt for throwing Ilebaye’s clothes in the bathroom and apologized.
Two weeks previously, Ike had thrown Ilebaye’s clothes on the bathroom floor in an effort to push her to obtain a third strike, which would have meant that she would be booted from the current season of the reality show.
Ike, however, along with Prince, Lucy, and Seyi, were evicted from the show on Sunday.
Ike admitted in an interview with the show’s host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, that after watching people’s reactions, he understood he had gone too far.
He said,
“I am sorry again to everyone about some of the boundaries that I crossed. When I saw people’s reaction to the clip being played back, I was like okay I might have gone too far.
There was no excuse, things just got out of hand. Once the energy came, I overdid it. It is something I struggled with a lot and had a lot of regrets about later. I definitely had to apologize about that publicly to the house and Ilebaye.”

Evicted Big Brother Naija All Stars housemate, Prince Nelson, has revealed that he went on the show in order to keep a commitment to his friend Alex Unusual.
Prince recently admitted that he was one of the initial housemates who was meant to participate in the reality show but turned it down in an interview with Naija FM in Lagos.
He stated he had to be featured as a houseguest because of Alex, apart from promoting his brand, so it was a win-win situation for him.
Prince said,
“Alex was one of the reasons I came into the [Big Brother] House apart from promoting my own businesses and everything. She made me make a promise because I was one of the original housemates that were supposed to go into the House but I declined.
But she made me promise that if at any point Big Brother ever called me again to come into the House even if it is for one day, that I should come even if it was just to say hello and leave that she is going to be pleased. And I said no problem.
So, when the call came, it came at a very convenient time. I was like, okay, it’s cool. I have a promise that I made to someone. I would fulfill the promise and I would also use the opportunity to promote my brand. So, it was a win-win for me.”

The 21-year-old singer, renowned for hits like ‘Rush’ and ‘Sability,’ had been nominated alongside other A-list singers such as Tems, Simi, and Tiwa Savage in the Best Female Artiste category, and she emerged as the winner.

The little boy who was rescued in Akwa Ibom after being abandoned on the streets to starve to death over witchcraft allegation seven years ago, has finally met his mother.
On January 30, 2016, Danish aid worker Anja Ringgren Lovén went viral on the internet when she was photographed feeding water to a severely emaciated 2-year-old boy.
She had rescued the child after he was labeled a witch by his family and left to starve to death in Akwa Ibom.
The young boy had roamed the streets for several months before Anja received a distressing phone call, prompting her to lead a rescue team, including her husband David Emmanuel Umem, to bring the child to the Children’s Education and Development Foundation (ACAEDF), also known as the “Land of Hope.”
In a new development, Lovén took to her Facebook page on Tuesday, September 5, 2023, to reveal that Hope has finally reunited with his mother.
According to the aid worker, Hope’s mother, who was a minor at the time, was impregnated by his father, a Village Head who was nearly 50 years old, after he picked her as his ‘wife’. She gave birth to Hope when she was just 15 years old.
Lovén mentioned that the entire story was fraught with rape, child labor, and abuse, and opted not to share all the details.
She also did not disclose the circumstances that led to the boy being branded a witch and abandoned.
Read her post below:
“David Emmanuel Umem and I finally found Hope´s mother !!
I knew in my heart that someday we would find her – now we have!
Earlier this year while David and I were filming the new documentary “Woman at the End of the World” our years of search finally ended.
Millions of people in Poland have already witnessed the moment Hope sees his mother for the first time and it left them all in tears.
I have known David for more than a decade and only seen him cry one time.
When I picked up Hope to take him to see his mother who were waiting for him under our mango tree I saw David cry for the second time.
Word´s cannot express the emotions that overwhelmed us in that moment.
Hope´s mother was only 15 years old when she gave birth to Hope. She was still a child herself
Hope´s father was at that time nearly 50 years old and he was the Village Head. Definitely not an equal relationship. Unfortunately it is very common for men in the rural communities to take any young girl they want to be their wife.
While being pregnant Hope´s mother had to take care of her parents who both were very sick. After giving birth to Hope they both died
At the age of 15 years old, Hope´s mother lost her parents and had to take care of Hope being a child herself.
She named her baby Steven. Hope´s real name is Steven.
Hope´s mother has stayed at Land of Hope and developed a close bond with Hope. It took him some time to forgive her but in Hope´s story his mother is innocent. She never left him in the village to die
She was forced to leave the village when she got pregnant with Hope´s younger brother Daniel at the age of only 16 years old. She was send to Lagos and this entire story involves rape, child labor and abuse and I can therefore not reveal all the details.
What´s important is that Hope and his mother are reunited. Ps: When I was pregnant with our son, David suggested we name him Steven.”

A cyber fraudster, commonly known as a Yahoo boy, has reportedly used military officers to track down an Islamic cleric named Suleimon following an alleged swindle involving special prayers,.
The brother of the Alfa, known only as Hamzat, reportedly screamed in anguish as troops allegedly broke into his block factory and took his Toyota RAV 4.
According to Hamzat, who spoke to The Punch, the army personnel, numbering up to five, arrived at his factory in Bankole Estate, Magboro, Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State, and began searching for his younger brother.
He said that the incident started after he asked Sulaimon for special prayers on behalf of an unnamed suspected Yahoo boy who is the brother of his girlfriend.
He claimed that once the prayer was successful, his girlfriend’s brother requested further special prayers, so Sulaimon in Lagos’ Agege neighborhood referred him to another unnamed Islamic cleric.
Hamzat said;
“After my brother introduced him to another Alfa for special prayer, maybe he was duped (or he didn’t get the expected returns after payment), I don’t know. My brother also said he did not know what transpired between the boy and the other Alfa.
On Tuesday, I was called by someone that some people were at my block factory and they wanted to buy blocks. So I rushed down. I told the person the price of my blocks. In the course of that, I just saw some soldiers coming into the estate. They came to me and said they wanted to see me. I asked them what happened, but they started grabbing me.
When I looked into their car, I saw the guy I introduced to my brother and his sister, who is my girlfriend. Then the soldiers said I should follow them. They said they would drive my car with them, but I refused, I said I couldn’t give them my car key but I would drive along with them since I did not steal or commit any crime.”
He continued by saying that the military had taken him to their barracks in Ebute, where they reportedly demanded N10,000 from him and had impounded his car until he could show them his brother. Hamzat saw that one of the guards repeatedly demanded that her brother,

Controversial Nigerian entertainer, DJ Chicken has taken a swipe at popular singer, Portable for not winning an award at the 16th Headies Award.
It’s worth noting that the Zazuh Zeh star, who received two nominations in last year’s edition but was disqualified for threatening to kill his co-nominees if he doesn’t win the awards, did not make it onto this year’s nomination list, along with Wizkid and others.
After the award ceremony which took place in Atlanta, Georgia, on Sunday September 5, Portable confessed that he had let himself down.
Following Portable’s inability to secure a nomination or a win, DJ Chicken went live on his Instagram page to brutally mock him.
He stated that Portable’s fame has dwindled, adding that the cost of Portable’s house in Ogun State is the amount he makes on Instagram daily.
He also criticized Portable for suggesting that his colleague in the music industry, Shallipopi, is a Yahoo boy, and urged him to try his hand at internet fraud if it was that simple.

Nigerian journalist, David Hundeyin, has criticized Pastor Paul Adefarasin of the House on the Rock Church in Lagos State for preaching about “Moving On”.
The clergyman had taken to the micro-blogging platform X to share a video where he was addressing his congregation about the importance of moving on.
His words,
“Samuel had invested so much prayer for nearly 28 years praying for Saul. Saul was doing well for a while until he started to make the wrong turn and is still praying God, ‘God please fix him’’. He even exhaults Saul and Saul is not listening. And one day he was talking to God and God said ‘Stop talking to me about the past for as long as you keep talking to me about the past, I can’t talk to you about the future and even if I did you wouldn’t hear me because you are consumed with the past.
‘But Saul is still on the throne?’, Its still past. And he might be on the throne for another forty years, but he is still past. I don’t have to use the throne to bring a king into play. I don’t have to win a battle through the king I can win it through a boy. So stop talking to me about what is past.
Some of you are so attached to something in your yesterday and you want closure from God, you want closure from Saul. You are not necessarily going to get closure. You must now learn how to move on without having to have closure because if you have to have closure, it means that you need to have an explanation from God and if you have to have an explanation from God, it means that you don’t really trust God”
However, some netizens opined that the clergyman posted the video because the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal are planning to deliver their judgement on Wednesday, September 6.
David Hundeyin, who also reacted to the post, heavily criticized Pastor Paul for advising people to move on.
He tweeted,
“Dear base character for the pastor in King of Boys, I promise nobody asked you.
Plus your family doesn’t even live in Nigeria, so of course, it’s very easy for you to urge people to “move on” because you have no skin in the game, you corrupt flaming asshole.”

Popular Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie has advised his followers to do what works for them and stop taking advice from people on social media.
According to him, 99.9 percent of people who give advice on social media have not figured out their lives.
He wrote,
“Are you still listening to social media advisers?
I laugh.
99.9% of the people advising you have not even figured out the direction of their own lives.
They haven’t solved their own family problems.
Brother, sister, do you.
Do what works for you.
Focus on your journey.”
May, who is represented by Femi Falana and Eculaw group, is also demanding N100 million in damages from Yul and his second wife, Judy Austin, for alleged adultery.
It was also alleged that “both Yul and Judy are avoiding service of the process upon them. The court bailiff has tried so many times to serve them in accordance with the rules of court. But they have evaded service of court process. Despite the braggadocio and the social media stunts, Yul Edochie and Judy are facing serious legal challenges and they seem ill-prepared for them, given the fact that they have been evading service of process.”
May has also filed for a court order to restrain Yul from accessing their former matrimonial home. The businesswoman expressed safety concerns and alleged that the actor’s behavior has been erratic, irrational, aggressive, and increasingly threatening.

May recounted an incident from the previous week when security officials prevented Yul from entering their home, stating that all matters related to their marriage and dealings are currently subjudice.
According to her, she took this measure to give herself and her children a sense of protection and security.
Popular skit-maker and comedian Abraham Ereme, professionally known as Twyse, has disclosed how Nollywood actress, Toyin Abraham ignored him despite having talked him out of ending everything in 2016.
Twyse addressed what had led to these sentiments in a recent interview clip when he opened up about it. In 2016, the comedian made some tweets about leaving the earth, which left many of his fans disturbed.
Speaking about the incident, he disclosed that he simply had a lot going on at the moment and opted to vent online.
Some had been kind enough to get in touch with him. A preacher, well-known people like Falz and Toyin Abraham, and his followers were able to talk him out of it and guide him through that difficult moment.
When he eventually came out of his depression, Toyin Abraham, who had publicly sobbed and pleaded with him not to end it all, subsequently refused to reply to him.
Twyse claimed that he is unsure of her decision to ignore him and that he is not inclined to think that her performance was done purely for show on the internet.

Talent manager, Prince Theophiluz, has encouraged emerging musicians not to sign with the Starboy, 30BG, or Spaceship record labels.
According to the talent manager, these record labels, which are owned by Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy, have gained money and are at the height of their careers.
He acknowledged that the young artists these musicians signed to their record labels did not have the time to be nurtured. He cited an example that the artist Davido signed after releasing his Timeless album is nowhere to be found.
He added that it will be difficult for these upcoming artists to make it in their careers because signing under these three record labels, Starboy, 30BG, or Spaceship, is like getting signed under a greater talent.
He emphasized that up-and-coming musicians should never consider contracting with a label that does not have the time to develop their abilities.

Since its debut in 2006, The Headies Award has played a crucial role in recognizing the exceptional work of African artists in the music industry.
Nigerian songstress Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, better known as Ayra Starr, has expressed her displeasure with the Headies Award organizers for their failure to announce the award category she won onstage.
The 21-year-old singer, renowned for hits like ‘Rush’ and ‘Sability,’ had been nominated alongside other A-list singers such as Tems, Simi, and Tiwa Savage in the Best Female Artiste category, and she emerged as the winner.
However, during the awards ceremony held in Atlanta, Georgia, on Sunday, September 3, the Best Female Artiste category was omitted from the onstage announcements, and Ayra Starr was not presented with her award at the event.
Infuriated by this oversight, Ayra took to Twitter to criticize the organizers for their failure to acknowledge her and her fellow female artistes who invest significant effort into their craft.
She also expressed her lack of appreciation for winning the award due to their lackadaisical attitude towards her.
Ayra tweeted on Monday afternoon,
“I will never be grateful for winning a category that wasn’t even deemed fit to be announced on stage ! Best female artist na beans ? We work hard, every single one of us ! I’ve seen Tiwa record 4 hit songs in the same night , Tems breaths and lives for music , we didn’t deserve such nonchalance! Nigeria , you didn’t raise me to settle for less”

Rema said,
“I must say it is very important that I should let everyone know that I’m not here because of the awards. I’m here because it is important to support our institutions. And when I said institutions, I mean the bodies that support you to be able to achieve these major successes; the media houses, award organisers, you know.
“\We are in a very sensitive period if we don’t give our attention to our institutions, we will miss this chance that we have. And we will never have this chance again.
Be it afrorave, afro this, afro that, last last, we go jam for afrobeats award. So, this is our chance. We [afrobeats artists] are not the first to do it. Reggae has done it before.”

“I also had an experience, though not from a caterer but the bride’s kid sister. I’ve been with them since Friday evening for a bridal shower and you can’t even buy a sachet of water in the estate, I asked for food and she embarrassed me cuz she was in charge. But I gave her my own judgement by making sure she doesn’t appear in any picture, even in family pictures, I’ll put her at the edge so I can easily crop her out. She later got my number from the bride asking why she wasn’t in all pictures and I told her I didn’t know she part of the wedding,” he wrote.
