Suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents Kogi Central, has made a shocking allegation that Senate President Godswill Akpabio and former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello conspired to assassinate her. The embattled senator made these claims while addressing her supporters during a grand homecoming event on Tuesday, where she received an overwhelming welcome. Alleged Assassination Plot and Police Notification Akpoti-Uduaghan revealed that while the assassination plot was not publicly disclosed earlier, the Nigeria Police Force has been formally notified about it. She further alleged that Akpabio initiated her recall process after allegedly promising financial incentives to former Governor Yahaya Bello. Details of the Alleged Conspiracy Providing further insight, she stated: “On March 13 at exactly 10:00 PM, two days before that, Akpabio called Governor Usman Ododo, instructing him to begin my recall process. However, Ododo declined, citing that the people overwhelmingly support me.” According to Akpoti-Uduaghan, Akpabio was dissatisfied with Ododo’s response and decided to reach out to Yahaya Bello. She continued: “I was informed of everything that transpired. Their plan had two parts—first, to initiate my recall and provide funds for the process; and second, to ensure my assassination.” Akpoti-Uduaghan further alleged that Akpabio specifically instructed Bello to ensure that her killing did not happen in Abuja but rather in Kogi State, to make it appear as if it was orchestrated by the local populace. Police Intervention and Public Reaction Following these grave allegations, Akpoti-Uduaghan confirmed that she had officially written to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to investigate the matter thoroughly. The allegations have sparked widespread concern among Nigerians, with many calling for a full-fledged investigation to ascertain the truth. What Happens Next? As of now, there has been no official response from Akpabio or Yahaya Bello regarding these allegations. The public awaits further updates as the case unfolds.

Modification of the Traditional Procession Historically, the event involves a grand horseback procession where the Emir and his entourage journey to the Government House to pay homage to the governor. However, following the restriction imposed by Commissioner of Police Ibrahim Bakori, Emir Sanusi II adjusted the celebration, leading the procession in a motorcade instead of on horseback. The Emir and his entourage departed the palace and arrived at the Government House, where Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf welcomed them, ensuring the continuation of the long-standing tradition despite the imposed restrictions. Alternative Route and Public Reception This year’s procession also followed a different route than usual, adapting to the new format while maintaining its cultural significance.

Preserving Culture Amid Challenges Despite modifications, Emir Sanusi II’s decision to proceed with Hawan Nasarawa highlights the resilience of Kano’s cultural heritage. The event serves as a reminder that traditions can be adapted to meet modern realities while preserving their historical and social importance. Conclusion By leading the procession in a motorcade, Emir Sanusi II balanced security considerations with the need to uphold tradition. His decision ensures that Hawan Nasarawa continues to be a significant cultural and religious event in Kano.

The petition specifically names companies such as: The advocacy group further alleged that Mr. Badaru continues to file annual returns for these businesses, with records as recent as last year, raising concerns about a conflict of interest and potential violations of anti-corruption laws. “Most alarmingly, he operates a licensed Bureau de Change (BDC) while holding a federal ministerial position, blatantly disregarding laws meant to prevent corruption,” the petition stated. Calls for Investigation and Minister’s Suspension YGA urged authorities to probe whether the minister fully disclosed his business interests in his official asset declaration, arguing that his continued involvement in these companies signals a serious breach of ethical and legal standards. The group is demanding urgent action, including: “The Ministry of Defence, a key pillar of Nigeria’s security, should not be led by an individual accused of exploiting state resources for personal gain,” the petition reads. Awaiting Official Response As of the time of this report, the minister and his representatives have not responded to the allegations. Additionally, neither the EFCC nor the ICPC has issued an official statement regarding the petition. Conclusion The petition raises serious concerns about public accountability and ethical governance in Nigeria.

Nani Hails Chelsea’s Rising Star Geovany Quenda Former Manchester United winger, Nani, has praised Chelsea’s latest acquisition, Geovany Quenda, calling him an ‘unbelievable’ player with exceptional speed and energy. The Portugal U21 international, who made headlines with his breakthrough season at Sporting Lisbon, secured a move to Chelsea in a deal worth over £40 million. However, he will remain on loan at Sporting for the upcoming season before officially joining Chelsea for the 2026-27 campaign. Quenda’s Journey and Chelsea’s Investment Quenda’s remarkable rise in Portuguese football has attracted attention across Europe. Initially linked with Manchester United, his career took a turn after Sporting’s manager, Ruben Amorim—who gave him his professional debut—departed to take over at Old Trafford. Chelsea seized the opportunity to sign the 17-year-old, recognizing his immense potential. Nani’s Endorsement of Quenda In an interview with A Bola, Nani had high praise for Quenda’s abilities: “There is a kid at Sporting, Quenda, who is 17 years old and he is unbelievable. He has energy, he has speed, he can improve his physical ability, but he is a very intelligent player. Very mature.” Nani further highlighted Quenda’s tactical awareness and ability to adapt to different phases of the game. “He knows how to play as part of a team, when he should calm down and when to speed up the game.” When asked whether Manchester United had ‘missed out’ on signing Quenda, Nani was firm in his response: “I think so. There are no players like him at 17. Why did Chelsea sign him? Because they know that.” What This Means for Chelsea With Chelsea’s history of developing young talent, Quenda’s arrival marks an exciting prospect for the club’s future. The Blues continue their trend of investing in emerging players, hoping to mold him into a top-tier winger. His combination of speed, intelligence, and technical skill makes him a valuable asset for Chelsea’s long-term squad-building strategy. Conclusion Quenda’s move to Chelsea signals a major step in his career and reinforces the club’s ambition in nurturing young stars. With backing from a football legend like Nani, expectations are high for the Portuguese prodigy to shine in the Premier League when he finally arrives at Stamford Bridge.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all (1 Corinthians 14:18). When we speak in tongues, we speak a unique and divine language that transcends nationalities, ethnicities and regional accents. You most likely can’t determine someone’s land of nativity, country or cultural background by hearing them pray in tongues. Whether an individual is Indian, American, British, Chinese, or Nigerian, their prayers sound unified and distinct because when we speak in tongues, it’s a divine language with Holy Ghost accent. I once conducted a study on individuals praying in tongues from different parts of the world, and the results were phenomenal. I had participants record their prayers without any visual context—no pictures, no videos. As I listened to the audio recordings, I noticed something remarkable: it was impossible to determine where each individual was from or to identify their specific accent or nationalities. This is because praying in tongues is a spiritual language not tied to earthly regions or dialects; it’s heavenly. Furthermore, I considered groups from various locations, separated by vast distances, all praying in tongues. Despite their geographic separation, they all sounded as though they originated from the same place. And indeed, they truly are from the same spiritual place—Christ. Think about people in distant locations, speaking the same spiritual language. It helps to understand what the Bible says, “For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit” (1 Corinthians 12:13). How could we all have this spiritual language, except for the fact that it’s by the same Holy Spirit? This is undeniable spiritual evidence of the reality and power of His ministry in and through us. Hallelujah! So, speak in tongues more than ever before, and you’ll see your life move from one level of glory to another. Speak in tongues every day and everywhere. Take this seriously like the apostle Paul who said, “I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all” (1 Corinthians 14:18). He spoke in tongues more than all of them in the entire church in Corinth combined. This shows how integral speaking in tongues was to his life and ministry. Paul understood that it was a divine language unique only to us. PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the gift of the Spirit and the blessing of speaking in tongues. I am edified, energized, strengthened and aligned with your perfect will for my life, and I’m led in the path of unending victory and success as I speak in tongues, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY|| Jude 1:20But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, || || Acts 2:2-4And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. || || 1 Corinthians 14:2For he that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth [him]; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. || READ ALSO: DAILY AFFIRMATIONS Precious Father, You’re great, gracious and glorious; You’re loving, holy, just and true. Thank You for Your blessings in my life: the divine favours that You cause me to experience always. I’m grateful, Lord, for Your faithfulness towards me! You’ve given me all that pertains to life and godliness; thank You for making my life the effulgence of Your glory and righteousness. Thank You for my triumphant life in Christ! Thank You for the Holy Spirit who lives in me and in whom and through whom I can do all things. Thank You for granting me all that I require for life and godliness. I’m delighted to know that I’m Your treasured possession, ordained to show forth Your wonderful deeds and display Your virtues and perfections. You have made my life beautiful! I’ll never walk in sickness or defeat! The victorious and glorious life is mine now. Christ is my assurance of health and life eternal. I have dominion in Christ, I rule over my body with the Word of God and in the Name of Jesus. I disallow infirmity and I cut off any abnormality from my body. In the Name of Jesus, I refuse arthritis, diabetes, cancer, tumors, paralysis, kidney failure, heart failure, and lung failure in any place in my body. Everything about my body is perfect; my lungs, liver, heart, blood, and every part of me is perfect. I declare that I live, rule and reign above them all. There’s no death in my life, family, finances, business, or job because the One in me is greater. I am a life-giving spirit and everything I touch or connect to receives life. My body is God’s house; the Holy Spirit perambulates every fiber of my being and every cell of my blood. I’m healthy and strong! Only the life and nature of Christ – His beauty and glory – are manifested in my physical body because He perambulates in me. I reign as a king in this life, changing situations and circumstances in my favour. I make decrees and they’re established, for the Word of God on my lips is God talking! I’ll never be discouraged or subject to the crippling principles of this world, because I reign and rule by the Word. Christ has brought perfection and excellence into my life. I am prospering exceedingly, manifesting the righteousness and dominion of Christ everywhere in Jesus’ name. Amen. Speak in tongues.

Why Are We So Lonely in a Hyper-Connected World? You’d think that with social media, instant messaging, and video calls, loneliness would be a thing of the past. But ironically, digital interactions often make people feel more alone rather than less. We scroll through perfectly curated feeds, send quick “likes,” and engage in endless group chats—yet many of us still feel disconnected. This phenomenon, known as digital loneliness, is a growing concern. Despite being surrounded by online conversations, people struggle with deep, meaningful connections. But why does this happen, and how can we fix it? The Digital Illusion of Connection Social media platforms, messaging apps, and virtual communities create the illusion of companionship. But here’s the catch—most of these interactions lack emotional depth. ? Example: You might have 1,000 Instagram followers, but how many of them would actually check in on you if you disappeared for a week? ? Study Insight: According to a study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, heavy social media users (more than two hours per day) are twice as likely to experience feelings of social isolation than those who spend less time online. Key takeaway? More screen time ≠ more meaningful relationships. Why Digital Interactions Can Make Loneliness Worse 1️⃣ Superficial Conversations:Most online interactions are quick and shallow. They lack the depth of face-to-face talks where body language, tone, and emotions play a huge role. 2️⃣ Comparison Culture:Scrolling through highlight reels of other people’s “perfect lives” can make you feel like you’re missing out. Even though you know those photos are curated, they still create feelings of inadequacy. 3️⃣ Lack of Real-World Social Skills:When online chats replace real conversations, social skills can suffer. Over time, this makes in-person interactions more awkward, which leads to even more isolation. 4️⃣ Over-Reliance on Virtual Support:Texting a friend is convenient, but it doesn’t replace the emotional depth of sitting down with someone and truly being present. How to Overcome Digital Loneliness ✔ Be Intentional With Your Online TimeInstead of mindlessly scrolling, use social media for meaningful engagement—comment on posts, send personal messages, and schedule real-life meetups. ✔ Prioritize Face-to-Face InteractionsMake an effort to see friends and family in person. Even short, casual meetups can boost your mental well-being. ✔ Reduce Passive Social Media UseA study from The Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology found that limiting social media to 30 minutes per day significantly reduces loneliness and depression. Try setting app limits or taking short digital detoxes. ✔ Join Offline CommunitiesWhether it’s a book club, a sports team, or a local event, engaging in activities outside the digital world builds stronger, more fulfilling connections. ✔ Talk to SomeoneIf loneliness feels overwhelming, talking to a professional can help. Therapy and support groups provide a safe space to navigate these emotions. Final Thoughts: Connection Beyond the Screen Digital loneliness isn’t about quitting social media entirely—it’s about how we use it. True connection comes from authentic interactions, not just online presence. If your digital world feels isolating, it’s time to shift your focus to deeper, real-life connections. So, next time you’re feeling lonely, ask yourself: When was the last time I had a real, meaningful conversation? Maybe it’s time to put the phone down and find connection beyond the screen.

The Importance of Protein in Every Meal: My 21-Day Experiment Protein is an essential macronutrient, yet many people do not consume enough to meet their daily needs. This article explores the impact of incorporating protein into every meal for 21 days and the effects on health, fitness, and well-being. Nutrition and Exercise: The Ultimate Combination Maintaining a healthy lifestyle involves both nutrition and physical activity. While focusing on just one can be beneficial, combining the two can lead to significant transformations in how you feel, look, and perform. Simply put, nutrition plus exercise equals exponential benefits! As a seasoned personal trainer and nutrition expert, I emphasize the importance of both diet and exercise to my clients. A well-structured fitness routine combined with a nutrient-dense diet generally yields better results than focusing on one aspect alone. However, despite being well-versed in fitness and nutrition, my hectic work schedule sometimes causes me to neglect my own dietary advice. The Discovery That Changed My Approach to Protein Intake After using a nutrition tracking app to analyze my diet, I was surprised to find that my protein intake was below the recommended level. According to scientific research, active adults—especially those engaged in strength training—should consume between 1.6 and 2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight (source). However, my intake was closer to 1.4 grams per kilogram. Realizing the gap in my protein consumption, I decided to challenge myself to increase my protein intake and meet at least the lower threshold of the recommended range. For the next 21 days, I committed to incorporating a sufficient amount of protein into every meal. The Journey of Eating Protein in Every Meal Throughout the experiment, I ensured that each meal contained a protein-rich source, such as lean meats, eggs, dairy, legumes, or protein shakes. My primary goal was to assess the impact on my energy levels, muscle recovery, and overall fitness performance. Key Changes I Noticed: Why You Should Consider Increasing Your Protein Intake Protein is not just for athletes or bodybuilders; it plays a vital role in overall health. It aids in muscle growth, immune function, and weight management. If you’re struggling with low energy, constant cravings, or slow muscle recovery, increasing your protein intake might be a game-changer.

Calcium is Essential for Strong Bones and Overall Health Calcium is a vital mineral for maintaining strong bones, teeth, and nerve function. While dairy milk is often considered the primary source of calcium, many other foods provide even higher amounts per serving. A single cup of milk contains approximately 306 mg of calcium, covering about 25% of your daily needs. However, if you’re looking for alternative sources of calcium, there are plenty of nutrient-rich options. Top 16 Calcium-Rich Foods That Surpass Milk 1. Yogurt Yogurt is an excellent source of calcium, probiotics, and protein. A cup of yogurt delivers around 415 mg of calcium, making up 32% of the Daily Value (DV). It also contributes to gut health by enhancing beneficial bacteria in the digestive system. 2. Sardines Canned sardines (with bones) pack approximately 351 mg of calcium per 3.75-ounce serving (27% DV). They also provide omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, and selenium, which support brain health and immune function. 3. Kefir Kefir, a fermented milk drink, contains 316 mg of calcium per cup (24% DV). It is also loaded with probiotics, which improve digestion and strengthen immunity. 4. Tofu Tofu, especially calcium-set varieties, is a plant-based powerhouse. A half-cup of firm tofu offers a staggering 861 mg of calcium (66% DV), making it a top choice for those on vegan diets. 5. Fortified Orange Juice Certain orange juices are fortified with calcium, providing up to 349 mg per cup (27% DV). Fortified juices also supply vitamin C, which aids in collagen production and immunity. 6. Sesame Seeds A quarter-cup of sesame seeds contains 351 mg of calcium (28% DV). These tiny seeds are also rich in magnesium, copper, and zinc, essential for bone and immune health. 7. Fortified Soy Milk Soy milk is often fortified with calcium, supplying 450 mg per cup (35% DV). Unlike almond or coconut milk, it also provides 8 grams of protein per serving. 8. Mozzarella Cheese A cup of shredded mozzarella contains 566 mg of calcium (43.5% DV), making it one of the best dairy sources for calcium intake. 9. Canned Salmon A 454-gram can of salmon with bones provides 967 mg of calcium (74.3% DV). Like sardines, canned salmon is an excellent source of omega-3s and protein. 10. Parmesan Cheese Parmesan is a calcium-dense cheese with 335 mg per ounce (25.7% DV). Due to its lower lactose content, it’s a great choice for those with lactose sensitivity. 11. Lamb’s Quarters This wild green contains 309 mg of calcium per 100 grams (23.7% DV) and is packed with potassium, which supports heart health. 12. Fortified Cereal Many breakfast cereals are fortified with calcium, offering anywhere from 100 mg to 1,000 mg per serving (10-100% DV). They provide an affordable and accessible way to boost calcium intake. 13. Fortified Almond Milk Almond milk, when fortified, can deliver 450 mg of calcium per cup (35% DV). It’s a suitable dairy-free alternative for those with lactose intolerance. 14. Cheddar Cheese A 2-ounce serving of cheddar cheese contains 398 mg of calcium (30.6% DV). Additionally, it provides vitamin A, crucial for vision and immune health. 15. Collard Greens Cooked collard greens offer 402 mg of calcium per 1.5 cups (30.9% DV), making them one of the best leafy greens for bone health. 16. Ricotta Cheese A cup of ricotta cheese provides 507 mg of calcium (39% DV). It’s also rich in protein, selenium, and phosphorus, all essential for overall health. Final Thoughts While milk is a good calcium source, there are numerous nutrient-dense foods that provide even higher amounts. Incorporating sardines, tofu, kefir, yogurt, sesame seeds, and leafy greens into your diet can help ensure adequate calcium intake without relying solely on dairy.
