Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, has dismissed suggestions that the coalition-supported African Democratic Congress (ADC) could significantly influence the outcome of the 2027 general elections.According to him, the recent embrace of the ADC by opposition figures has ironically made them less effective rather than boosting their political weight. Governor Sule made this known on Friday during a media chat shortly after he paid a visit to the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja. “I am not particularly concerned about the ADC,” Sule said. “From what I gathered, the ADC is not a splinter group from our party, the APC, but rather a breakaway faction from another political party. If that is the case, it means their strength has been reduced. They are not gaining ground — they are actually becoming weaker. So, as far as we are concerned in the APC, we are not worried about them.” The Governor stressed that the APC’s focus has never been on the activities of rival political groups but rather on strengthening its own structures and delivering on its promises to Nigerians. “We have never been overly concerned about the opposition,” he continued. “Our priority is always to focus on our own capacity and strategies — ensuring we fulfil our obligations to the Nigerian people. This is exactly what President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has consistently demonstrated. All APC governors are equally working hard in their respective states to support this administration’s vision, and we will continue to do so.” Sule added that, on a personal level, he avoids getting distracted by the movements of other parties. “I don’t waste time monitoring the internal affairs of other parties. My interest is firmly on what my own party, the APC, is doing to serve the people,” he noted. On Yilwatda’s Appointment as APC Chairman The Governor also spoke about the recent appointment of Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda as the APC National Chairman, describing it as a timely and strategic decision that addresses long-standing concerns in the party’s North-Central zone. “The new chairman is very much in tune with the Renewed Hope Agenda. His appointment comes at the right time — exactly when a leader with his qualities is needed. For us in the North-Central zone, who have been calling for the return of the chairmanship to our region, we now have no reason to complain. The position is back in our zone, and that is a welcome development,” Sule affirmed.

Award-winning Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has shared a deeply personal revelation, admitting that at the age of 44, she still hasn’t truly experienced what she considers real love. Speaking candidly during an interview with Zeze Mills, the Afrobeat star explained that the only genuine and unconditional love she has ever felt is from her son, Jamil. She reflected on her past romantic relationships and concluded that none of them were built on true love — instead, they were driven by temporary emotional highs and infatuation. “I don’t think I’ve experienced true love apart from my son,” Savage confessed. “Every time I look back at all my relationships, I’m like, nah, that wasn’t love — I was just infatuated. At the time, I thought I was in love, but in reality, I wasn’t. Even when I was married, I don’t think I experienced true love.” The singer revealed that these reflections have led her to a painful but firm conclusion — perhaps love is simply not meant for her. Despite trying repeatedly over the years, she says her search for true, lasting love has been unsuccessful. “Maybe love isn’t for me because I have tried over and over again, so maybe love isn’t for me in this lifetime,” she added. LMSINT MEDIA recalls that Tiwa Savage tied the knot with her then-manager, Tunji Balogun, popularly known as Teebillz, in 2013. Unfortunately, their marriage faced numerous challenges and eventually ended in divorce in 2018 after all reconciliation efforts failed. Their union produced one child, Jamil, who remains her greatest source of love and joy. Tiwa Savage’s honest confession has sparked conversations about the difference between love and infatuation, with many fans praising her courage for speaking openly about such a sensitive and emotional subject.

The children are about six in number, but like I said, I will still do everything to support them,” he explained. When asked about how he made this discovery, Platnumz revealed: “I conducted a DNA test here in Tanzania. All my baby mamas love me because I treat them well.

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has once again made a clear and personal prophecy regarding the manner and timing of his passing. Speaking during the ongoing RCCG International Convention themed “The Overcomers”, the highly respected cleric revealed that his death will occur on a Sunday — immediately after attending church service and eating one of his favourite meals, pounded yam. Adeboye’s Remarkable Death Prophecy Pastor Adeboye explained that death does not always have to be preceded by a prolonged illness or suffering. In his words: “I will die on a Sunday after attending service, eat my beloved pounded yam, and then pass on without any sickness.” The prophecy, which was delivered with calm assurance, reflects the preacher’s long-standing emphasis on finishing life’s journey in peace and in the service of God. A Vision Previously Shared This revelation is not entirely new. Adeboye had first shared a similar vision two years ago, where he described his passing in almost identical terms. His consistency in retelling this prophetic insight suggests that it holds deep spiritual significance for him and his ministry. Message to Believers While delivering a sermon titled “Possess Your Possessions”, Pastor Adeboye urged Christians to boldly claim the promises of God and take spiritual authority over what rightfully belongs to them through Christ. His statement was both a call to faith and a reminder that a life dedicated to God ends with victory, not defeat. The pastor’s words have sparked reflection among many followers, encouraging them to think not only about their spiritual inheritance but also about how they live each day in preparation for eternity.

For many YouTubers, ad revenue is often the first income stream they think about. But here’s the truth: depending on ads alone is a slow and unpredictable way to make money on YouTube.

In some niches, creators earn as little as $1–$3 per 1,000 views. That means a video with 100,000 views might only earn a few hundred dollars. By diversifying your income streams, you protect yourself from sudden changes in YouTube’s algorithm or ad policies while unlocking more profitable opportunities. 1. Sell Digital Products and Online Courses One of the most powerful ways to monetize without ads is selling your own digital products—and YouTube is the perfect platform to showcase them.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD All of us must quickly carry out the tasks assigned us by the one who sent me, because there is little time left before the night falls and all work comes to an end (John 9:4 NLT). There’re Christians who mistakenly believe they will have more opportunities to serve the Lord after the Rapture, but this notion is incorrect. According to the Scriptures, the Millennial Kingdom, or the 1,000 years of peace, is not primarily about us. It’s a period ordained by God for Israel. God promised them that time of peace, and they’ll indeed receive it. The Jewish calendar, suspended for 2,000 years, will resume for a final seven-year period leading into the Millennial reign. Following this, Jesus will return from heaven and set up His headquarters in Jerusalem, reigning not only as King of the Jews, but as King over the entire world. David will also return to reign over Israel, while Jesus reigns over the world. We’ll be with Jesus, reigning with Him, ensuring everything runs smoothly. So, our ministry does not operate during the millennium; instead, our service at that time would be to the Lord Jesus Christ. Our role throughout the millennium will be to perform angelic duties. The ministers during the Millennial Kingdom will predominantly be the Jews who’d be fulfilling prophecies and promises made to their nation, much as we have done over the past 2,000 years. While with Jesus, carrying out angelic functions, it’ll be a magnificent time in preparation for the great judgment, where we would even judge angels. Afterwards, we will move into the holy city and inhabit the new earth. Glory be to God! This is why we must attach a sense of urgency and responsibility to fulfilling our calling here on earth. This is our window of opportunity to carry out our divine ministry. After the trumpet sounds and we’re caught up from here to meet the Lord in the air as the Bible reveals in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, the earthly opportunities for ministry and service will come to an end. I urge you today to be diligent and faithful in fulfilling your purpose and calling while you still have the opportunity. Think like Paul the apostle, who said, “If I proclaim the Message, it’s not to get something out of it for myself. I’m compelled to do it, and doomed if I don’t” (1 Corinthians 9:16 MSG). Prioritize your spiritual assignments, knowing that your actions today carry eternal significance and rewards. PRAYER*Dear Father, thank you for your grace at work in me to be diligent and faithful in leading souls to Christ. I’m convinced that the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation; therefore, I’m committed to its spread around the world, taking advantage of the opportunity available now, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 KJVFor the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 1 Corinthians 3:8 KJVNow he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. DAILY SCRIPTURE READING1-Year Bible Reading PlanRomans 11:1-24 & Psalms 79-81 2-Year Bible Reading PlanLuke 14:1-14 & Judges 15-16 DAILY AFFIRMATIONS: I am not of this world; I am born from heaven and live the life of heaven now in the earth! I’m conscious of my heavenly blessings, rights, and privileges and I enjoy them to the full. I refuse to be limited by contrary forces around me; I accomplish the impossible, I do the spectacular and reach for the peak in all my endeavours. I have the wisdom of the just, which propels me to function in God’s perfect will. The wisdom of God is in my heart and in my mouth today, and I deal excellently in all my affairs. I am full of God’s might! I function by His power and glory today, full of the Spirit in wisdom, having a spiritual understanding of all things! Victory is my heritage and my life! I was born to be triumphant always and in every place. Regardless of the challenges that I may face, I will always win. It makes no difference what happens, where I find myself or who’s against me; I am more than a conqueror! I can never be disadvantaged. God has given me everything it takes to live victoriously every day. The Lord has magnified me. He has increased my greatness. I have divine access to wealth untold. The Holy Spirit shows me the secrets of life. I am making continuous and consistent progress. The Lord has filled my mouth with laughter and His joy is my strength. I do not know weakness, depression, or oppression of any sort. I am stronger, bigger, healthier, brighter, and wiser today, than I was yesterday, for the invigorating power of the Holy Spirit works actively and mightily in and through me daily. I am full of life. I am full of faith. I am full of joy. I am full of peace. I am full of strength and I am doing wonders. God’s glory is evident in my physical body, coursing through my being, ridding me of every infirmity, feebleness, or weakness. It is seen in my family, job, business, and all areas of my life. I have eternal life and walk in the consciousness of it. I walk in dominion over sickness, disease, and death, over the discouragements and frustrations that affect humanity in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Speak in tongues.

Al Nassr’s legendary forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, has shared his reaction after delivering a spectacular hat-trick in their commanding 4-0 victory over Portuguese side Rio Ave during a pre-season friendly on Thursday. The encounter took place at the Estádio Algarve in Portugal, where Ronaldo once again proved that age is just a number. His performance not only thrilled fans in the stadium but also sent a strong signal ahead of the new season in the Saudi Pro League. Ronaldo, who previously starred for clubs like Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus, expressed sheer delight over his impressive display. Despite being 40 years old, the Portuguese icon continues to showcase elite fitness, sharp finishing, and an unrelenting hunger for victory. Following the match — which was Al Nassr’s third pre-season fixture — the former Juventus talisman took to his official Instagram account to post a short but powerful six-word statement to his millions of followers: “Keep pushing, there’s more to do.” Alongside the message, Ronaldo uploaded several captivating matchday photos, celebrating both his personal achievement and the team’s cohesion.

Chelsea Football Club have confirmed they will not be returning to the transfer market in search of a replacement for injured defender Levi Colwill, despite speculation following his recent setback. According to trusted football transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, the Blues have not triggered any emergency measures or short-term recruitment plans to sign another central defender. Instead, the club is placing full confidence in their existing defensive options — including their latest acquisition Jorrel Hato, who is capable of operating both as a centre-back and a left-back. Colwill’s Injury Confirmed On Thursday, Chelsea officially announced that Colwill will miss the majority of the 2025/26 season due to an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Medical scans revealed the extent of the damage, prompting the 22-year-old England international to undergo surgery immediately. The injury occurred earlier this week during pre-season training, shortly after Colwill had rejoined the squad for preparations ahead of the new campaign. The loss is considered a significant blow to Chelsea’s defensive depth, but the management is confident in the squad’s ability to adapt without seeking an external replacement. Sevilla Reject Juanlu Offer from Napoli Meanwhile, in Spain, LaLiga side Sevilla have rejected a €17 million formal bid from Napoli for their young full-back Juanlu. As per Romano’s report, Sevilla have set their asking price at €20 million, in addition to a sell-on clause in any potential deal. The Spanish club remains firm in their valuation, signalling they are in no rush to part ways with the talented defender unless their demands are met. For Chelsea fans, the decision to rely on the current roster — rather than diving back into the market — reflects a calculated approach, especially with versatile players like Hato providing cover. For Napoli, negotiations with Sevilla will need to intensify if they hope to secure Juanlu before the transfer window closes.
