Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has strongly criticized Steve Witkoff, an envoy of former U.S. President Donald Trump, for endorsing Russia’s referendums in four occupied Ukrainian regions. Witkoff claimed that the referendums proved that a majority of the local population preferred Russian governance. Zelenskyy condemned these remarks, stating that they align closely with Kremlin propaganda. He expressed hope that, over time, U.S. officials would recognize Russia’s lack of sincerity in its diplomatic engagements. Black Sea Ceasefire Talks & Russia’s Stance Amid ongoing conflicts, the United States announced on Tuesday that both Russia and Ukraine have agreed to cease hostilities in the Black Sea following negotiations in Saudi Arabia. However, Russia has set conditions, insisting that a maritime truce would only be possible if Western sanctions on its agricultural exports were lifted. Russia has also signaled reluctance to withdraw from the Ukrainian territories under its control, including regions like Kursk. Trump’s Position on the Ukraine War Former President Donald Trump, who previously vowed to end the war within 100 days if re-elected, has since been working on diplomatic strategies to fulfill this promise. His administration is reportedly reviewing Russia’s demands for the Black Sea ceasefire agreement before making further commitments. ?

King Charles and Queen Camilla Delay Visit to the Vatican Over Pope Francis’ Health King Charles III and Queen Camilla have officially postponed their anticipated state visit to the Vatican, which was initially scheduled for early April. The decision follows medical advice from the pope’s doctors, urging him to take an extended period of rest and recovery. Buckingham Palace Confirms Postponement A statement from Buckingham Palace on Tuesday revealed that Pope Francis has been advised to prioritize his health. “Medical advice has now suggested that Pope Francis would benefit from an extended period of rest and recuperation. “Their Majesties send the pope their best wishes for his convalescence and look forward to visiting him in The Holy See, once he has recovered,” the statement read. Pope Francis’ Recent Health Struggles Pope Francis, 88, has been facing significant health challenges. Earlier this year, in February, the head of the global Catholic Church was diagnosed with pneumonia in both lungs, raising concerns about his well-being. After spending nearly 40 days at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital, he was discharged on Sunday and has since been recuperating at the Santa Marta guesthouse within Vatican City. The Vatican reported that while Pope Francis has been undergoing breathing and speech therapy, he has refrained from receiving visitors apart from his closest associates. No official date has been set for his next public appearance. King Charles’ Historic Visit to the Vatican Now on Hold As the head of the Church of England, King Charles III had planned to meet Pope Francis on April 8. The visit was set to be his first to the Vatican since ascending the throne. However, by mutual agreement with the Holy See, the trip has been postponed indefinitely. King Charles last visited the Vatican in 2019 when he was still heir to the British throne.

Nigerian Singer Madrina Speaks on Economic Crisis and Fuel Subsidy Removal Nigerian singer Cynthia Morgan, now known as Madrina, has voiced her concerns over the worsening economic crisis in Nigeria. In a recent TikTok video, she urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to take urgent steps to mitigate the hardship caused by the removal of the fuel subsidy. Madrina admitted she initially supported the subsidy removal policy, believing it was a necessary step for economic progress. However, she now acknowledges that Nigeria lacks the structural framework to sustain a complete removal, leading to inflation, rising petrol prices, and increased cost of living. Economic Impact of Fuel Subsidy Removal In her video statement, Madrina highlighted key financial concerns: Madrina emphasized that Nigeria is not yet ready for 100% subsidy removal, as rising hunger and crime rates indicate severe financial strain among citizens. A Call for Government Action The singer appealed to President Tinubu’s administration to consider reinstating at least 50% of the fuel subsidy, acknowledging that while subsidy removal could be beneficial in the long run, the country is currently ill-prepared for its full implementation. Madrina discouraged public outrage or protests, instead advocating for a “begging challenge”—a collective plea to the government to reassess its economic policies and introduce relief measures for struggling Nigerians. Historical Context of Nigeria’s Fuel Subsidy The subsidy system, first introduced under former President Olusegun Obasanjo, has been a contentious economic issue for decades. While President Tinubu aims to redirect subsidy funds into national development, critics argue that lack of proper economic structures makes immediate subsidy removal unsustainable. For further insights on Nigeria’s economic policies and fuel subsidy history, refer to this report by the World Bank.

CFR, has officially named Professor Ibibia Lucky Worika as the new Secretary to the State Government (SSG). This announcement was made in a statement issued on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, marking the first major appointment since the declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Why Professor Worika Was Chosen as Rivers State SSG According to the statement, Worika’s selection followed a thorough evaluation of his qualifications, experience, and ability to contribute effectively to the administration’s objectives. “His Excellency, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas, is pleased to appoint Professor Ibibia Lucky Worika as the Secretary to the Rivers State Government. His extensive background in academia, international legal practice, and high-level policy advisory roles makes him the ideal candidate to support this administration in fulfilling the president’s mandate,” the statement read. The appointment is part of ongoing efforts to restore stability, peace, and security in Rivers State, ensuring competent individuals lead critical government functions. Significance of the Appointment & Recent Resignation This strategic decision underscores the administrator’s commitment to leveraging Rivers State’s human capital for effective governance.

Chijoke Ihunwo, the former Chairman of Obio-Akpor Local Government Area in Rivers State, has strongly criticized President Bola Tinubu’s decision to impose a state of emergency in the region. Ihunwo argued that the declaration was unjustified, emphasizing that Governor Sim Fubara is a man of peace and has no affiliation with militant groups. No Justification for State of Emergency During an interview on Arise TV’s Morning Show, Ihunwo dismissed claims of insecurity or conflict in Rivers State. He stressed that allegations of pipeline vandalism in the state were unfounded, citing statements from the concerned company denying any such incident. “There is no war in Rivers State. The reports about pipeline vandalism are untrue, as the company itself has clarified that no such event took place,” Ihunwo stated. Governor Fubara’s Compliance with Legal Directives Ihunwo further asserted that Governor Fubara has fully complied with the Supreme Court’s ruling and remains committed to upholding the rule of law. “Our governor is a peaceful leader with no ties to militancy. He has strictly followed the Supreme Court’s decision, yet Mr. President has acted in error by declaring a state of emergency in Rivers State,” he added. Rivers State Political Crisis: A Power Struggle The crisis in Rivers State intensified after President Tinubu’s decision to suspend Governor Fubara, the deputy governor, and all state House of Assembly members for six months. The political turmoil stemmed from a rift between former Governor Nyesom Wike and his successor, Fubara. A faction of the Rivers State House of Assembly, led by Martins Amaewhule, initially claimed to have defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). However, the Supreme Court ruled against their defection and reinstated them, directing Governor Fubara to present the 2025 budget. Despite the ruling, Fubara faced resistance when attempting to present the budget, as the faction led by Amaewhule blocked his access to the Assembly complex, escalating the political crisis. Repercussions of Tinubu’s Decision Critics argue that the state of emergency imposed by President Tinubu may set a dangerous precedent for governance in Nigeria. Experts suggest that political conflicts should be resolved through dialogue rather than drastic executive actions.

Why the Judge Withdrew from the Case? Justice Obiora Egwuatu of the Federal High Court in Abuja has officially recused himself from presiding over the lawsuit filed by the suspended Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan. The judge’s decision, announced on Tuesday, was influenced by a petition from Senate President Godswill Akpabio, challenging his impartiality in the case. The case was initially scheduled for hearing, but upon being called up, Justice Egwuatu delivered a brief ruling, declaring his withdrawal and directing that the case file be returned to the Chief Judge for reassignment. Background of the Legal Battle Earlier, on March 4, Justice Egwuatu had issued an interim order restraining the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions from continuing disciplinary proceedings against Akpoti-Uduaghan. The committee had accused the senator of violating Senate rules, leading to her suspension for six months. The judge emphasized that the disciplinary process should be put on hold until the court decides on the main suit, ensuring that Akpoti-Uduaghan’s rights, as enshrined in the 1999 Constitution (as amended), the Senate Standing Order 2023, and the Legislative Houses (Powers and Privileges) Act, were protected. Court Orders and Senate’s Defiance Justice Egwuatu mandated the Senate and its committee to justify why an interlocutory injunction should not be issued against their actions. He granted Akpoti-Uduaghan permission to serve legal documents through substituted means, including delivering them to the Clerk of the National Assembly or publishing them in two national newspapers. Despite this court directive, the Senate Committee proceeded with its disciplinary measures, ultimately suspending the senator. Following an appeal from the defendants, Justice Egwuatu later modified his interim order, allowing the Senate to continue with its activities while the lawsuit remained pending. This adjustment followed an argument from the Senate’s legal team, led by Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) Kehinde Ogunwumiju, asserting that the court lacked the authority to intervene in Senate affairs.

Chelsea’s Stadium Plans Face Setbacks, Says Todd Boehly Todd Boehly, co-owner of Chelsea Football Club, has acknowledged that building a new stadium remains a significant challenge due to the complexities of London’s urban environment. During a discussion with talkSPORT, Boehly explained that while Chelsea is actively exploring stadium development plans, the process has been hindered by various factors, including the club’s central location in London. Challenges of Building Chelsea’s New Stadium Boehly noted that constructing a modern stadium in London is vastly different from developing one in a less congested area. He emphasized the need to consider multiple stakeholders, particularly the Chelsea fanbase, while navigating the challenges of redevelopment. “Inside of London, it’s really complex. It’s not like we are building something in a rural environment. We have a lot of constituents to make sure we care about. Certainly, the Chelsea fan base is one of them,” Boehly stated. Despite these obstacles, the Chelsea co-owner remains optimistic about the club’s long-term vision, affirming that they are committed to finding a solution that meets both logistical and fan expectations. Possible Relocation to Earls Court? Reports suggest that Chelsea previously explored the possibility of relocating to Earls Court, as expanding Stamford Bridge within its current footprint presents geographic and planning limitations. However, no final decision has been made, and discussions regarding the club’s future home are still ongoing. For a deeper insight into stadium redevelopment challenges in London, you can read more from The Guardian.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work (2 Corinthians 9:8). When you pray and ask God for things, His ultimate purpose is not to give you material possessions such as houses, cars, or money; His focus is His Word in your spirit. As you grow in the knowledge of God, you’ll discover that everything you desire has already been granted you in His Word. He already said in 2 Peter 1:3, “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue.” This understanding will transform your prayer life and the content of your prayers. Instead of focusing on asking for things, your prayer times become moments of fellowship with God because you don’t have the consciousness of need. We have to emulate the way our Lord Jesus lived when He walked the earth. He had no consciousness of lack. What a glorious way to live, when you know that everything you need flows from your union with Him! The Bible says, “God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” (1 Corinthians 1:9). This means you’ve been brought into a divine partnership, a family union with Jesus Christ. If this is true (and thank God it is), what could you ever lack? God has already provided everything you’ll ever need for life and godliness through His Word. The key is to have the Word of God dwelling in you richly. Jesus said, “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth good things…” (Matthew 12:35). Then Paul said, “…we have this treasure in earthen vessels…” (2 Corinthians 4:7). This treasure is the Word of God stored in your heart, which has the power to produce or create anything and everything you need. That’s where the house, car, spouse, children and every other blessing come from—the Word of God in you! When you’re full of the Word, you carry within you everything you need for health, success, prosperity and victory in this world. Colossians 3:16 says, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly….” So, meditate on the Word; confess it and let it shape your thinking. Hallelujah! PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the treasure of your Word that dwells in me richly. Every good thing I need flows from within me. I walk in the consciousness of abundance and live above lack because of the fellowship I have with Jesus Christ and my oneness with Him. Amen. FURTHER STUDY|| Colossians 3:16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. || || Joshua 1:8 AMPCThis Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success. || || Acts 20:32And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. || READ ALSO: DAILY AFFIRMATIONS: My life is a manifestation of the virtues and perfections of divinity. From the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, I am full of life and no sickness, disease or infirmity can fasten itself to my body! I am a new creature in Christ, filled with divinity. Every fibre of my being, every bone of my body, and every cell of my blood is replete with God. I am a moving house of the Almighty God, bearing His grace, glory, and righteousness. I live in absolute victory every day of my life. I reign and rule over the forces of darkness in this world. I dominate my environment and I reign over sickness and disease, over demons of darkness, and over death! I am in Christ. I’m complete in Christ. I’m filled with all the fullness of God. The totality of divinity resides in me. I am God’s house, His living tabernacle. I am not an ordinary man; I am of the God kind! I am complete in Christ. No shortage! A perfect completion. I have everything I require for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him that hath called me to glory and virtue. I live a life of glory and virtue. I have a wholesome tongue; my words are sculpted in line with God’s perfect will and direction for my life. I speak the same things God has said concerning me. I proclaim wellness, wholeness, and life to my body today. Nothing and no one can put me down. God’s Word is nourishment for my spirit, refreshment for my soul, and health for my body. Christ lives in me! I’m the expression of His reality, His grace, glory, kingdom, power and personality! I’m the expression of His fullness; He is my completeness. It makes no difference what challenges I face in life; there’s a force—an empowerment—at work in me to blaze through the barriers. I am God’s hands of love, mercy and compassion to the world. I’m strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. I keep His Word in my heart and in my mouth always, and therefore, I discomfit all the stratagems, schemes, manoeuvres, and manipulations of the devil. Today and always, my heart produces thoughts of life and divine health and harbours no thoughts of negativity or depravity in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen. Speak in tongues.

Ownership Alignment and Club Development Boehly reassured fans that despite speculation, the Chelsea ownership remains aligned in their strategic plans.

He further highlighted that Chelsea’s investment in young talent and long-term contracts aligns with their strategy for sustained success. “It’s a team that’s young, with long contracts. In order to do all these things we’ve done, it’s because we’re aligned,” he explained. Chelsea’s Premier League Standing Despite early-season momentum, Chelsea has experienced fluctuations in form.

PSG Star Marquinhos Predicts Raphinha to Win 2025 Ballon d’Or Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Brazil national team defender Marquinhos has voiced his strong support for Barcelona’s Raphinha as a leading contender for the 2025 Ballon d’Or. The experienced center-back believes that the talented winger has demonstrated outstanding form and leadership, making him a top candidate for football’s most prestigious individual honor. Marquinhos Praises Raphinha’s Leadership and Performance Speaking ahead of Brazil’s World Cup qualifying match against Argentina, Marquinhos commended Raphinha’s mentality, intelligence, and leadership qualities on the pitch. He emphasized that the forward’s contribution extends beyond goals and assists, highlighting his ability to inspire teammates and take on a leadership role in crucial moments. “Raphinha is a phenomenon.

He always puts the team first and makes intelligent decisions. If he maintains this level of performance, he has everything needed to win the Ballon d’Or.” Raphinha’s Stellar Performance in the 2024/25 Season The Barcelona winger has been in exceptional form this season, recording 27 goals and 20 assists in 42 appearances for the club. His contributions have placed him among the frontrunners for the 2025 Ballon d’Or, alongside Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah. While Vinicius Jr. and Kylian Mbappé were initially strong contenders, their performances have reportedly fallen behind in the race for the award. Ballon d’Or 2025: Can Raphinha Secure the Crown? With the Ballon d’Or selection considering both individual brilliance and overall impact, Raphinha’s current form gives him a strong case. If he continues his stellar performances for both Barcelona and Brazil, he could be in a prime position to claim the award. Conclusion The race for the Ballon d’Or 2025 remains highly competitive, but Marquinhos’ endorsement highlights the growing recognition of Raphinha’s abilities on the global stage. As the football season unfolds, all eyes will be on whether the Brazilian forward can maintain his momentum and claim the prestigious honor.

Super Eagles Face Zimbabwe in Crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifier The Nigerian national football team, the Super Eagles, will take on Zimbabwe in a must-win 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier on Tuesday evening at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo. Kickoff is scheduled for 5 PM Nigerian time. Nigeria heads into this clash with momentum, having secured a 2-0 victory against Rwanda at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali last Friday. Meanwhile, Zimbabwe played to a 2-2 draw with Benin Republic in their previous fixture. Head-to-Head Record: Nigeria vs. Zimbabwe Historically, Nigeria has dominated this fixture, winning four of their eight previous encounters against Zimbabwe. The Super Eagles have recorded three draws and suffered just one defeat to the Warriors. One of the most remarkable clashes between both teams occurred in 2005, when Nigeria thrashed Zimbabwe 5-1 in a World Cup qualifier. Nigeria’s Performance in Group C The Super Eagles’ World Cup qualification campaign has been a mix of results. After playing five matches, Nigeria has managed just one win, three draws, and one loss, placing them fourth in Group C with six points. On the other hand, Zimbabwe sits at the bottom of the group (6th place). The Warriors have yet to register a victory in their qualification journey, securing only three points from five matches, following two defeats and three draws. Coach Eric Chelle Eyes Consecutive Wins Nigeria’s head coach, Eric Chelle, will aim to continue his positive start after securing a 2-0 win over Rwanda in his debut match. The 47-year-old Malian tactician has urged his team to stay focused ahead of the Zimbabwe showdown. “There is a second game on March 25th, so we need to be ready for this game,” Chelle emphasized. Meanwhile, Zimbabwe’s head coach, Michael Nees, is determined to secure his team’s first victory in the qualifiers. The German tactician has warned his players against a slow start against Nigeria. “Nigeria is at an absolute top level. We cannot allow a slow start to the game,” Nees stated. Experts Predict a Super Eagles Victory Football analysts and coaches have weighed in on the Nigeria vs. Zimbabwe fixture, predicting a comfortable win for the Super Eagles. Emmanuel Brown, a former TTC Football Academy coach, believes Nigeria will capitalize on home advantage at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium to secure maximum points. “This is a must-win game for Nigeria. A win will take their tally to nine points in Group C,” Brown told DAILY POST. Brown also highlighted the Super Eagles’ attacking strength, emphasizing their renewed drive under Chelle. “Nigeria has some of the best attackers in Africa. They are playing at home and should dominate this match. I predict a 3-0 win for the Super Eagles.” Similarly, Femi Fabunmi, Editor of EkoHotBlog, expressed confidence in Nigeria’s chances. “Zimbabwe are the whooping boys of the group. Nigeria should win convincingly and keep their qualification hopes alive. My prediction: Nigeria 4, Zimbabwe 0.” Audu Ojo, head coach of Dawaki Rangers, also expects a Super Eagles victory, though he warns that African football is evolving. “There are no more small teams in football. On a good day, an underdog can shock a giant. However, I believe Nigeria will win this match 2-0.” Nigeria vs. Zimbabwe: Match Prediction With Nigeria’s superior squad depth, home advantage, and a revitalized attack, the Super Eagles are heavily favored to win. Given Zimbabwe’s struggles in the qualifiers, Nigeria is expected to dominate possession and create multiple scoring chances.
