I Almost Went Crazy – Regina Daniels Breaks Silence Over Leak Of Alleged Medical Reports

Nollywood star, Regina Daniels has reacted to the statement released by Serenity Royale Hospital in Abuja concerning a medical report linked to her.

They stated that their facility had no connection to the document spreading across social media.

2027: ADC on fire – Kenneth Okonkwo

Former National Officer of the Labour Party, Kenneth Okonkwo, has claimed that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is using intimidation tactics to disrupt opposition activities ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Speaking on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Monday, Okonkwo said the ADC has faced repeated attacks while holding meetings across several states.

ADC is on fire. The only thing is that we have an APC that is using every method to intimidate and scatter the plans of the opposition,” he said.

Okonkwo cited incidents in Kaduna, Lagos, and Ekiti States where ADC gatherings were allegedly dispersed by thugs acting under the supervision of security agencies.

He accused the APC of manipulating security institutions to frustrate opposition parties, contrary to provisions of the Electoral Act that mandate equal protection for all political parties.

Okonkwo expressed confidence that the ADC would form the next government, describing the APC as a party “already imploding.”

ADC is going to form the next government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We are strategizing, and we are going to beat this APC. They are already imploding because all these endorsements are just an amalgamation of sycophants,” he added.

Video: Tacha Breaks Down In Tears During Visit To Former One-room Apartment

Former Big Brother Naija ‘PepperDem’ housemate, Natasha Akide, popularly known as Tacha, got emotional during a visit to her former one-room apartment in Nkpor, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

Tacha revealed that before her journey to fame, her life began in a crowded compound with multiple occupants.

ObasEmpire report that in the now-viral video online, Tacha was captured walking through the familiar streets of the bustling neighbourhood, where fans warmly greeted her.

During the visit, Tacha also reconnected with her former hairstylist from her early days, who introduced her to her now-grown daughter.

Meanwhile, Tacha has asked Nigerians to stop directing all their anger at President Bola Tinubu while overlooking the roles of other leaders across the country.

ObasEmpire reports thatTacha made this known in a viral video released on Monday, where she pointed to the recent disbursement of ₦2.2 trillion by the Federation Account Allocation Committee to the federal, state, and local governments.

She stated that funds are available but often wasted by those entrusted with them.

She said that while many Nigerians are quick to attack the president, governors, senators, and local government chairmen escape such public pressure, even though they control large sums of money meant for development.

Tacha expressed concern that many citizens cannot even identify their local government chairman, yet they expect only the president to fix every problem.

The reality star stressed that if Nigerians start demanding accountability from governors, lawmakers, and council chairmen, the country would see real changes in governance.

Your Suffering Is A Pain Of Painful Surgery’ – Tinubu Tells Nigerians

President Bola Tinubu on Friday compared the hardship facing Nigerians to the pain of an economic surgery, assuring citizens that the worst is over and prosperity lies ahead.

ObasEmpire reports that Tinubu gave the assurance at Mapo Hall, Ibadan, during the coronation of Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja as the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland.

Addressing dignitaries and residents, the President said the nation’s economy, though still fragile, is recovering from crisis.

To many of you here present, today I’m honoured and I’m very proud to give you the cheering news that the economy has turned the corner. There’s a bright light at the end of the tunnel,” Tinubu said.

He described the suffering of Nigerians as a necessary sacrifice.

Your suffering is a pain, a pain of a painful surgery. But it is now returned to the moment of growth and prosperity that’s awaiting us ahead. Thank you for your perseverance. Thank you for your endurance and thank you for your understanding,” he added.

The President arrived at the venue at 2:28 pm in the company of Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State.

Other governors in his entourage included those of Ondo, Osun, and Ekiti states, alongside several members of the Federal Executive Council (FEC).

Earlier, Tinubu received the traditional Akoko leaf at the Labosinde Compound, Oja’ba, Ibadan, as part of the coronation rites.

Oba Ladoja, a former governor of Oyo State, succeeded the late Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, the 43rd Olubadan, who passed away on July 7, 2025, after reigning for only one year.

If I Wanted Third Term, I Would Have Got It’ – Says Obasanjo

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has dismissed long-standing allegations that he once sought to extend his stay in office beyond the constitutional two terms.

ObasEmpire recalls that Obasanjo led Nigeria between 1999 and 2007.

Speaking on Wednesday at the Democracy Dialogue of the Goodluck Jonathan Foundation in Accra, Ghana, Obasanjo said no living or dead Nigerian can produce evidence that he ever pushed for a third term

He declared, “I think I’m not a fool. If I wanted it, some thought I wanted it, I know how to go about it. And there is no Nigerian, dead or alive, that will say I called him and told him I wanted the third term. None.”

The former president argued that if he could secure debt relief for Nigeria, which he described as a far more difficult achievement, then obtaining a third term would have been within his reach had he truly pursued it.

I keep telling them that, look, if I wanted to get debt relief, which is more difficult than getting a third term and I got it, if I wanted a third term, I would have got it too,” he said.

During Obasanjo’s tenure, Nigeria secured an $18 billion debt relief package from the Paris Club in 2005, widely regarded as one of the defining achievements of his administration.

Obasanjo also warned against leaders who see themselves as indispensable, describing such a mindset as a “sin against God.”

Some people believe that unless they are there, nobody else. They will even tell you that they haven’t got anybody else. I believe that that is a sin against God, because if God takes you away, which God can do anytime, then somebody else will come, and that somebody else may do better or may do worse,” Obasanjo said.

The 87-year-old elder statesman stressed that the best of leadership is achieved when leaders are young, vibrant, and dynamic.

I know that the best is done when you are young, ideal, vibrant, and dynamic. When you are ‘kuje kuje’ (weak or frail), you don’t have the best,” he said.

Obasemprire reports that Obasanjo’s comments come amid ongoing debates across Africa about sit-tight leaders and constitutional manipulation to extend presidential terms.

Abiola’s Wife, Doyin, Is Dead

Wife of the Concord Publisher and winner of the June 12, 1993, presidential election, Moshood Abiola, Doyin, has passed away.

ObasEmpire learnt that the eminent journalist died at 9.15 pm on Tuesday, August 5, 2025.

According to the Nation, Doyin’s death resulted from an illness.

Doyin was the former managing director and publisher of National Concord.

She was also the first Nigerian woman to be an editor of a Nigerian daily newspaper.

Like the numerous wives of the late Abiola, Doyin endured the storm and stress triggered by the annulment of the historic poll and the tribulations that followed on the home front and in Concord.

Doyin Abiola attended the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, where she earned a degree in English and Drama in 1969. After graduation, she started working with the Daily Sketch Newspaper and also wrote a column in the newspaper called ‘Tiro,’ which addressed sundry issues of public concern, including gender matters.

In 1970, Doyin left Daily Sketch Newspaper and travelled to the United States to pursue a master’s degree programme in Journalism. Upon her return, she was employed as a Features Writer at Daily Times and rose to become the Group Features Editor. She later attended New York University and obtained a PhD in communications and political science in 1979.

After Doyin’s Ph.d. programme, she returned to the Daily Times and was deployed to the editorial board, where she worked with other experienced editors like Stanley Macebuh, Dele Giwa, and Amma Ogan. However, it was to be a short stay as the newly formed National Concord newspaper invited her to be its pioneer daily editor.

Doyin moved to be an editor of National Concord and was promoted to managing director/editor-in-chief in 1986.

She became the first Nigerian woman to become the editor-in-chief of a daily newspaper.

She married in 1981. Her career at National Concord Newspaper spanned three decades. She also served in various capacities in the media industry in the country.

Two Players Are Not Nigerians: Morocco Drag Super Falcons To CAF After Defeat In WAFCON Final

Morocco have filed a petition to CAF questioning the eligibility of two players who played for the women’s team of Nigeria in the final of the WAFCON, which Nigeria won 3-2 on Saturday.

The host were two goals up going into the half time break , but a second half rally by the Nigerian team helped them to a 3-2 win, and also the title for the tenth time in their history.

Before the game, there was a protest lodged by Morocco on the eligibility of two of the Nigerian players in Ashleigh Plumptre and Michelle Alozie. Both players were born outside Nigeria but made the decision to play for Nigeria at senior level.

In their protest, Morocco say the manner of their switch of nationality is faulty citing some irregularities in their claims to be Nigerians. They expressly want Nigeria to lose the title by virtue of fielding both players in the tournament.

Plumptre was granted approval by FIFA to play for Nigeria in 2021 after it was established that her paternal grandfather is a Nigerian. Alozie’s case is more straightforward as he was born in the USA to immigrant parents from Nigeria.

Nigeria are however not losing sleep over the protest with a top member of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) terming it as dead on arrival.

Nedu asked: “Is it possible to be loyal and be 2Face? Is it possible to be a loyal man to a woman?

Responding, 2Baba said, “I have said this a couple of days ago, and I got into trouble for it but I didn’t care about that. Man no fits, I don’t know ooo but let me talk for my own self. I no go talk about other men.

A man is not built to sexually be with one woman. Man can give his heart and love to one woman, but it’s impossible for a man to sexually be with one woman”.

After the statement created a buzz online, 2Baba, in a video via his Instagram page, admitted that he had messed up.

He said, “I know I fvcked up with what I said and I know I’m going to get cancelled because of it. I apologise to my fans and most importantly, my wife, the love of my life, Natasha and also my kids. I’m terribly sorry. That’s not who I am”.
