Senator Ned Nwoko’s brother, Chuks Nwoko, accuses him of betrayal and bringing shame to family

Chuks Nwoko, the alleged brother of Senator, Ned Nwoko, has publicly criticized the lawmaker, saying he is reaping what he sowed and that he is tarnishing the family name.

In a video message circulating online, Chuks said his repeated attempts to reach the senator have failed, adding that he felt compelled to speak out as a sibling.

“You are bringing so much disrepute to the name Nwoko. You are not ashamed, but we, your siblings, are ashamed for you.

Senator Ned, there is a God that is attached to your name, but you removed it, and see how you have now turned out.
Your name is Chinedu. As a learned person, you are ignorant of the natural laws that govern our universe. Otherwise, how is it that you, as a lawyer, do not understand that, like the law of gravity, there is the Law of Sowing and Reaping? You must reap what you’ve sowed. You are disruptive, malicious, vindictive, troublesome, a narcissist, self-centered, a bully, lying, controlling, and violent.
However, today is a good day to change things if you will just embrace the gospel of our Lord. Embrace the Prince of Peace.”
He said

Chuks urged Senator Ned to reflect on his actions and seek a change of heart, quoting a Bible verse to underscore the importance of repentance and humility.

He further accused the senator of promoting values contrary to their upbringing and criticized his public image, alleging that Ned portrays himself as self-made despite having been supported through school by a woman named Omoye.

He also claimed the senator has betrayed and harmed everyone who helped him in life, beginning with his elder brother.

Chuks concluded his message by calling on Senator Ned to stop bringing shame to the Nwoko family and to embrace accountability.

His remarks come amid the ongoing tension between the senator and his estranged wife. Regina Daniels‘ family.

The senator had accused his wife of drug abuse, while the latter refuted his claims as false.

Pastor Femi Lazarus alleges U.S. interest in Nigeria is a strategy to create division

Pastor Femi Lazarus, founder of the Sphere of Light Church, has alleged that the recent display of concern by the United States over Nigeria’s internal affairs is not genuine, but a calculated move to create division within the country.

Speaking during a sermon, Pastor Lazarus said America’s statements on the alleged persecution of Christians in Nigeria were part of a broader plan to destabilize the nation.

He cautioned Nigerians to be wary of the sudden attention from foreign powers, alleging that the U.S. seeks to exploit internal differences for its own strategic interests.

The cleric further linked the alleged foreign interference to Nigeria’s vast mineral wealth, noting that nations rich in natural resources often face external manipulation.

“When Goodluck Jonathan was in power, Nigeria needed to buy certain things to fight insurgency, and it was America that blocked us. They are showing interest because they know that it will divide the country. Once they come in, anywhere they step burns. The only country richer than us in terms of mineral resources is Venezuela. Anywhere there is wealth burns. Let’s be careful, they may seem to be bringing help, but the aim is to penetrate and keep us bound.” He said

“I give up” – Regina Daniels cr!es out over allǝged illegal detention of brother, accuses husband Ned Nwoko of ab#se

Popular Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has taken to social media with a deeply emotional post, accusing her husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, of orchestrating the continued illegal detention of her brother, Sammy West, and subjecting her to physical and psychological abuse.

In a post shared online, Regina expressed despair over what she described as her brother’s unjust incarceration.

Adding that he was arrested for fighting for his baby sister, after allegedly intervening in domestic disputes involving the actress and her husband.

The actress alleged that there was no legal case against her brother and lamented that the police were acting under the influence of power and money.

“I give up! What was my brother’s offense? Fighting for his baby sister because his in-laws would always beat her up? I actually accorded the Nigerian police some respect, but shame on you all !!! It’s obvious the highest bidder always wins. Now I’m crippled! I will return if that’s the only way, do whatever he says, get injected to be like a zombie, get locked up, and raped in the house. Only then will my brother return. Because by law, there is no tangible case against Sammywest! Ned Nwoko is bigger than the whole of Nigeria; that’s what this means. We lost, or rather I lost!” She wrote

The actress also addressed online critics who had mocked her past displays of luxury, saying no one ever shows their pain in public for fear of ridicule.

Regina’s post has since sparked widespread reactions across social media, with fans and fellow actors calling for an investigation into her claims and demanding the immediate release of her brother.

Court grants Pretty Mike 50m bail after NDLEA arraignment for alleged dr#g party

Popular Lagos socialite Mike Nwalie, popularly known as Pretty Mike has been granted ₦50 million bail by the Federal High Court in Lagos following his arraignment on alleged drug-related offences.

Pretty Mike, the owner of Proxy Lagos Night Club, was arraigned alongside the club’s supervisor, Joachim Hillary, by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

The duo faced charges of conspiracy, unlawful possession, and permitting the use of their premises for drug-related activities.

According to NDLEA prosecutor Buhari Abdullahi, the alleged offences occurred on October 26, 2025, at the club located at No. 7 Akin Adesola Street, Victoria Island, Lagos.

The prosecution alleged that the defendants conspired to organize a drug party at the venue, during which officers reportedly recovered 200 grams of Cannabis Sativa and 177 cylinders of Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas), weighing 364.662 kilograms in total.

Hillary was further accused of possessing 200 grams of Cannabis Sativa a day earlier, on October 25, 2025.

The NDLEA charged Pretty Mike with permitting his nightclub premises to be used for illicit drug activities, in violation of Sections 14(b) and 20(1)(c) of the NDLEA Act.

Both defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Lead defence counsel, Dr. B.S. Awosika (SAN), urged the court to grant bail on liberal terms, arguing that neither defendant had any prior criminal record and that they would make themselves available for trial.

However, the prosecution opposed the application, claiming the defence failed to provide sufficient supporting details.

In his ruling, Justice Ambrose Lewis-Allagoa held that the prosecution did not establish any compelling grounds to deny bail, emphasizing that the defendants remain presumed innocent until proven guilty.

The judge granted each defendant ₦50 million bail with two sureties in like sum, who must also swear to an affidavit of means.

Justice Lewis-Allagoa ordered that the defendants be released to their counsel pending the completion of their bail conditions.

The case was adjourned for further hearing on a date yet to be fixed.

Reality star Adekunle Olopade recounts harr0wing midnight encounter with armed Police Officers

Reality TV star Adekunle Olopade has shared a deeply unsettling account of his encounter with police officers in Lagos.

Describing how a late-night drive turned into what he called ‘a near-kidnapping experience’ in the hands of men who were supposed to uphold the law.

Taking to social media, Adekunle narrated that the incident occurred in the early hours of the morning after he decided to take a drive to clear his head.

According to him, he was stopped at a police checkpoint near the VGC roundabout around 1 a.m. while driving his mother’s car, a vehicle he had swapped with her earlier in the week.

What began as a routine stop quickly escalated. The officers searched the car thoroughly, found nothing incriminating, yet became increasingly suspicious when they discovered that the car’s documents bore a different name.

Despite his explanations, the officers accused him of stealing the vehicle.

He recounted that a senior officer at the scene ordered the car to be seized, and when he refused to hand over the keys, the officers forcibly restrained him.

Adekunle said he was handcuffed, strangled, and stripped of his phone during the altercation, before he was then transported against his will from VGC to Area J Command, Elemero, Ibeju-Lekki.

At the station, Adekunle said he was interrogated, accused of being a cultist, and asked to undress so officers could look for tattoos.

When nothing incriminating was found, they searched his phone and found nothing incriminating to, then they demanded that he ‘do something’ for them, a request for a bribe.

Eventually, he was asked to withdraw money from a nearby POS before being released at around 6 a.m. Only after this was done was he given the car documents, his phone, and then some advice.

Adekunle’s detailed account has drawn outrage online, with many Nigerians condemning the persistent issue of police extortion, harassment, and brutality in the country despite repeated promises of reform.

He concluded by saying, “I didn’t think Nigeria would happen to me this soon… What if I lost my cool, and they ended my life? No one would know. The truth of what happened would never see the light of day.”

“Ned wants to k!ll my brother!” – Swezzy allǝges as Sammy West remains detained in Keffi prison

Swezzy, the brother of popular actress Regina Daniels has raised fresh concerns over the continued detention of their brother, Sammy West, alleging that Senator Ned Nwoko is behind attempts to keep him in custody.

In a post shared on Instagram, Swezzy claimed that Sammy has not been granted bail and is being held at Keffi Prison, despite efforts by his legal team to secure his release.

According to Swezzy, the magistrate handling the case has ‘suddenly disappeared,’ stalling the bail process and raising suspicions of political interference.

“They’re trying to disorganize our agenda. They’re trying to manipulate us! Sammy has not been granted bail! They are planning to move him to Keffi Prison. What sort of injustice is this? Ned is trying to remand my brother in Keffi Prison for speaking and fighting against domestic violence towards our blood sister. He’s got a child and a family that depends on him. He no thief, he no kill, why treat him like a criminal?” He wrote

Swezzy also appealed to public figures, including Seyi Tinubu, calling for intervention and justice.

As of the time of this report, neither Senator Ned Nwoko nor his representatives have responded to the allegations.

While the #FreeSammyWest campaign continues to trend online, with fans and social media users demanding the freedom of the actress’s brother.

Man shares how his girlfriend earned his trust while he was in the US Army training

A U.S. Army officer has warmed hearts online after sharing a story about love, trust, and partnership that has sustained his marriage for over six years.

In a post shared on X (Twitter), the soldier recounted how, before leaving for 12 weeks of Basic Training, he gave his then-girlfriend, now his wife, full access to his bank accounts.

At the time, his partner was a postgraduate student earning a university stipend.

With limited contact while he was in training, she managed his bills, rent, and car payments, keeping detailed records of every transaction.

“So I enlisted in the US Army, and my girlfriend (now wife) had full access to my bank accounts. At the time, she was a postgraduate student, earning a stipend from the university. I went off to 12 weeks of Basic Training, meaning no phone, no outside contact, nothing. Before leaving, I set up all my bills and gave her access to my bank apps. Car loan, rent, phone bills, everything. My three months’ salary was paid into the account. This amazing woman handled it all. She kept an Excel sheet tracking every dollar that came in and went out. She planned our entire wedding by herself and didn’t go overboard on spending, not even once.” He wrote

The soldier added that the couple has continued to manage their finances together ever since.

Although his Training restricted their communication, contact only came through handwritten letters and rare five- to ten-minute phone calls.

He concluded his post by offering heartfelt advice about love and commitment, asking people never to compromise on someone loving them.

“The level of w!ckedness Ned Nwoko has shown his community is alarming” – Seun Kuti 

Afrobeat singer Seun Kuti has accused Nigerian politician and businessman Ned Nwoko, husband of Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, of exhibiting what he described as “alarming wickedness” toward his community.

In a recent statement, Seun Kuti claimed that Nwoko’s actions in his hometown had caused significant distress.

The son of the late Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti went on to allege that Nwoko was responsible for the detention of several young men under false pretenses.

“Old people everywhere like Regina Daniels’ husband. Regina married such a man despite the kind of wickedness he has shown his community. He almost killed the king of his village and wanted to take the whole land of the community by force. He was so evil that he imprisoned nine boys for years on false terrorism charges, expressing disbelief that Regina Daniels could remain married to him in the name of love.” He said.

However, Seun Kuti clarified that his criticism was not solely directed at Regina Daniels but also at the socioeconomic conditions that, in his view, influence young women’s choices.

He went further to say that if Nigeria gets better, young girls won’t need to enter such situations.

Below are some of the comments;

Life na turn by turn last year na Regina Daniels advice us this year na we dey advice her

Because a man is rich, doesn’t mean he’s a good man. Know this, and know peace, ladies.

“Never ever believe what you see on social media. Regina made us believe this man was a good and kind husband. People be going through a lot behind closed doors.”

Gospel singer Victoria Orenze urges Nigerians to brace up after Trump’s recent remarks

Gospel singer Victoria Orenze has called on Nigerians to brace up and turn to God amid growing concerns over the remarks by the United States President, Donald Trump.

In a recent video shared online, Trump claimed that America was ready to go gun blazing in Nigeria following alleged reports of a Christian genocide in the country.

Now, Nigerians must arise, agree with GOD, and take this deliverance! Nigerians, we can’t be quiet and turn our eyes the other way anymore! The Church, we can’t be quiet and turn our eyes the other way anymore!” she declared

The gospel artist admonished Nigerians, both Christians and non-Christians, not to remain silent in the face of injustice, corruption, and division.

She further emphasized that the country’s salvation would not come from world powers such as America, China, Russia, Canada, or the UK, but from God and the collective action of its people.

“I’m better off alone” – Man says after spending over 100K on a date that went nowhere

A man has taken to X (Twitter) to share a costly and disappointing first-date experience, revealing that he spent over ₦100,000 on food and transportation only for the relationship to fizzle out immediately afterward.

In his post, he explained that he went on a first date where he spent ₦109,000 on food and an additional ₦18,000 on a Bolt ride.

Despite the grand gesture, the connection didn’t last.

He recounted some of the frustrations from the date, saying that they first ordered food worth ₦90,000, which they couldn’t finish.

Only for her to order more stuff, then pack the whole food, the leftovers, and the newly ordered ones home, without asking if he cared for any.

Reflecting on the experience, he advised caution for future dates, promising never to involve himself in such again.

He concluded his post with a blunt takeaway, saying he thinks he’s better off alone because he’s tired of meeting ‘funny’ people.

The post has since resonated with many online, sparking conversations about first dates, expectations, and the modern dating experience.

His tweet read;

“Went on a first date two weeks ago. Food 109k, bolt 18k. Now we aren’t talking anymore. Learned to never do that again. If you aren’t going on a walk or to a restaurant I recommend, and you recommend more expensive ones, I’ll ghost from there.

First ordered food of 90k, which we couldn’t finish. Only for her to order other stuff. Then they packed the rest of the food, and she took it all without asking if I cared for any. ngl I’m better off alone. Tired of meeting funny people.

“I can’t settle for less” – Waje opens up on love and her standards for a partner

Award-winning singer and songwriter Waje has opened up about the defining moments of her life, including becoming a mother at just 16, in a candid conversation on The Honest Bunch podcast.

The Rara crooner revealed that she became pregnant shortly after finishing secondary school, a situation that led to rejection from her child’s father and his family.

Years later, when her daughter turned 18, all attempts to rebuild a relationship between father and child proved unsuccessful.

Reflecting on her journey, Waje explained how these experiences have shaped her standards, particularly when it comes to marriage.

She emphasized that at her current stage in life, she cannot settle for a partner who isn’t successful. She also ruled out the idea of marrying a younger man, citing her practical and nurturing nature as a factor.

“I can’t marry someone who is not successful, and here’s why. I’m not in my 20s anymore, so we’re not growing together. A man leads, and he leads by showing me aspirations I can look up to. Success, faith, and emotional balance all matter because I’m also doing the work on myself. I’m very pragmatic and sometimes have to take care of people around me, my siblings, friends, even family members. If my husband were younger, he would probably get overwhelmed.” She said

Waje’s reflections provide an intimate look into her journey of resilience, growth, and the high standards she has set for her personal and romantic life.

Court orders interim forfeiture of Pretty Mike’s Lagos nightclub over allǝged drúg activities

The Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered the interim forfeiture of a nightclub owned by popular socialite and entertainer, Pretty Mike, over alleged involvement in drug storage and distribution.

Justice Musa Kakaki granted the order on Tuesday following an ex parte application filed by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), represented by its counsel, Mr. Buhari Abdulahi.

The property, known as Proxy Lagos Night Club and located at No. 7 Akin Adesola Street, Victoria Island, was alleged to have been used for storing and distributing 169 cylinders (384.662 kilograms) of nitrous oxide, popularly known as laughing gas, and 200 grams of cannabis sativa.

According to court documents, the NDLEA identified the nightclub’s owner, Mike Nwalie (aka Pretty Mike), and Joachim Hillary, an employee, as the key suspects allegedly using the premises as a base for a planned drug party.

In an affidavit deposed to by Deputy Commander of Narcotics, Nasiru Garba Bungudu, the agency said it acted on credible intelligence received in October 2025, which led to a midnight raid on October 26, 2025.

During the operation, operatives reportedly arrested over 200 persons and recovered the banned substances.

Mr. Abdulahi told the court that the interim forfeiture was necessary to preserve the property, being an alleged instrumentality of crime under the NDLEA Act, pending the conclusion of investigations.

He also sought a suspension of all activities at the nightclub.

After reviewing the motion and supporting evidence, Justice Kakaki ordered the interim forfeiture of Proxy Lagos Night Club to the Federal Government and directed that the premises remain closed until investigations are concluded.

The case has been adjourned until January 28, 2026, for further hearing.

Regina Daniels’ Mum brǝaks silence on the ongoing marital strain between her and her husband (WATCH)

Following reports of ongoing marital strain and alleged domestic violence between Nollywood actress Regina Daniels and her husband, Nigerian politician and businessman Senator Ned Nwoko, a video has surfaced online showing Regina’s mother in an interview discussing the situation.

In the video, she claims that her daughter once supported her husband with $50,000 during his electoral challenges, yet is now being labeled a gold digger by the public.

Nedu’s podcast guest reveals over 200,000 people are living with HIV in Rivers state

A recent episode of The Clarity Zone Podcast, hosted by a media personality Nedu Wazobia has sparked widespread conversation online after a guest spoke candidly about the growing concern of HIV/AIDS in Lagos and other parts of Nigeria.

During the discussion, the guest highlighted alarming statistics of HIV prevalence across several Nigerian states, naming Rivers, Benue, Akwa Ibom, and Anambra among those with the highest number of people living with the virus.

The speaker also discussed ongoing efforts to raise awareness and foster connection among people living with HIV, introducing the concept of positive bondship, a safe space where HIV-positive individuals can meet, share experiences, and build healthy relationships.

Addressing the stigma and denial surrounding the virus, the guest noted that many Nigerians, including influential figures, live with HIV in silence due to fear of discrimination and public judgment.

“Rivers State has over 200,000. The next is Akwa Ibom with over 100,000, and, funny enough, Anambra State also has about 100,000. We’re trying so hard to curb it. That’s why we have positive bondshi, if you’re HIV positive, you can meet your fellow HIV positive. But on this part of the Island, people just believe being positive doesn’t mean you can’t be with someone who’s negative. A lot of people are in denial. Some say, ‘Anything can kill a man, no be to die?’ Even our politicians, some of them are HIV positive, but most times people don’t know.” The guest said

The revelation has since stirred strong reactions on social media, with many users praising the speaker for addressing a topic often considered taboo in Nigeria.

While others called for increased awareness campaigns and better healthcare access for those living with HIV.

“Men Expire After 30” – Lady says, sparking heated debate online (WATCH)

A young Nigerian lady has stirred a heated debate online after claiming that men, not women, are the ones with the real biological clock.

In a viral video shared on X (Twitter), the lady referenced a study that allegedly shows men’s biological clock ticks faster than women’s.

According to her, men begin to lose their value once they clock 30, because a man’s prime years are in his 20s, when he is still fresh and fertile.

“As a man, your prime is in your 20s. You’re fresh and fertile in your 20s. Once you cross into your 30s, your biological clock is ticking. You need to start thinking of settling down because nobody wants to marry an old, expired man.” She said

Her statement quickly went viral, drawing thousands of comments and sparking intense arguments between men and women online.

While some users agreed with her point of view, saying that men also experience aging and fertility issues, many others strongly disagreed, insisting that women are the ones who face biological pressure when it comes to reproduction and marriage.

Below are some of the comments;

“Your prime as a man isn’t about age, it’s about growth. Keep leveling up mentally, financially, spiritually. As long as you’re developing yourself, you’re always in your prime. Don’t let social media noise make you doubt that.”

“Stop lying to yourself Ned Nwoko is way past his prime (according to your take) Yet he is shooting live amo in the womb of his 6 wives.”

Church members darken their faces to ‘spiritually destroy’ shamǝ as instructed by their prophetess (WATCH)

A video has surfaced online showing a group of church members darkening their faces, following instructions reportedly given by their prophetess.

In the clip, the congregation could be seen praying fervently on their feet, while their faces were smeared with a dark substance believed to be charcoal.

According to reports, the prophetess instructed her followers to darken their faces as a spiritual act to ‘destroy shame’ and remove any form of reproach from their lives.

The unusual scene has sparked widespread reactions online, with many questioning the practice and its spiritual basis.

As of the time of this report, the identity of the church and its prophetess had not been confirmed, though the video continues to circulate widely across social media platforms.

Below are some of the comments;

“The world is a beautiful place once you remove religion from your face.”

“Just pause for a second, all I can see is the business angle. Who supplied the black stuff must be the pastor.”

“Where in the Holy Bible is that written? It’s clear some people are just too lazy to do what God actually requires of them; that’s why they’re easily deceived by anyone claiming to be a prophetess.”

“If an artist told everyone to paint their face black for a concert, you won’t give the same reaction, and now it’s regarding spiritual warfare, you are pointing at it.”

“Nigeria remains the only country where unemployment turns into outright stupidity in the name of religion, and even the educated abandon their brains.”
