UN aid agencies say they have begun to significantly reduce their operations in the Gaza Strip because they have almost exhausted their fuel reserves.

Small quantities of fuel retrieved from existing reserves are being used to maintain the water supply in the south, where hundreds of thousands of people are sheltering from Israeli strikes.

However, they will run out on Thursday.The agencies say they have reduced their support for overwhelmed hospitals and bakeries feeding the displaced.

“What we are seeing in the Gaza Strip is unprecedented,” Juliette Touma of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, Unrwa, told the BBC.

“Two million people are being strangled. Gaza is being choked with very, very little assistance that is coming from outside.

“Israel began its bombing campaign in Gaza, cut off electricity and most water, and stopped imports of food, fuel and other goods in retaliation for a cross-border attack by Hamas on 7 October, in which at least 1,400 people were killed and 224 taken hostage.

Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry says more than 7,000 people have been killed in Gaza since then and that the health system is facing total collapse, with a third of hospitals not functioning and the rest only treating emergency cases.

At least 74 lorries carrying food, water and medical supplies have crossed from Egypt via the Rafah border crossing since Saturday, which Ms Touma called “a drop in the ocean of overwhelming needs”.

About 500 lorries were allowed into Gaza every day before the start of the war.Ms Touma said Unrwa needed an urgent shipment of fuel if it was to continue to serve as a lifeline for the 629,000 displaced people taking refuge inside its facilities.

Most fled homes in the north of Gaza after being told by the Israeli military to leave for their own safety.

“We’re the largest humanitarian organisation and we are on the verge of stopping operations. We are being banned from undertaking the mandate that was entrusted to us by the UN General Assembly. All we’re asking to do is to be able to do our work,” she added.

Israel refuses to allow deliveries of fuel because it says it could be used for military purposes by Hamas, which it classes as a terrorist organisation – as do the UK, US and other powers.

Israeli military spokesman Lt Col Jonathan Conricus said in a video briefing on X, formerly known as Twitter, that “we don’t want hospitals, or the whole of Gaza, to run out of fuel”.

But he advised Unrwa to ask Hamas to hand over some of the hundreds of thousands of litres of fuel that the military claims is being stored in a dozen tanks near the border with Egypt.

“There is enough for many days for hospitals and water pumps to run,” he added.

“Only the priorities are different. Hamas prefers to have all of the fuel for its war-fighting capabilities, leaving civilians without it.

“Asked to comment on the allegation, the UN’s regional humanitarian chief, Lynn Hastings, told the BBC: “We don’t have any information about other fuel being available for Hamas to access.”

“I know that is a concern of the Israelis, and quite rightly. It is something that we are trying to address with the Israelis to be able to bring in enough fuel for the humanitarian operations.”

Ms Hastings warned that without fuel for their back-up generators Gaza’s hospitals would no longer be able to care for about 1,000 patients receiving kidney dialysis treatment, 130 premature babies in incubators, and intensive care patients on ventilators.

Gaza’s water desalinisation and pumping stations would also cease to function, she said.

“There is very, very little clean drinking water available now, which means people are resorting to drinking dirty or salinated water, or both.”

“It also means that the sanitation system is blocked up, because there is no electricity to pump sewage into the sea. We are expecting the streets to have sewage overflow onto them imminently.

“Ms Hastings also complained in a separate statement that the Israeli military was continuing to warn people in Gaza City to evacuate when they had nowhere to go or were unable to move.

“When the evacuation routes are bombed, when people north as well as south are caught up in hostilities, when the essentials for survival are lacking, and when there are no assurances for return, people are left with nothing but impossible choices,” she warned.

In a statement on Thursday, the Israel Defense Forces accused Hamas of using civilians as human shields, and stopping them from evacuating south.

“As we have seen in the past, they use a variety of methods including roadblocks,” the statement said.

Minister of water resources and sanitation, Joseph Utsev, on Thursday, said the recurring floods in Ogun and Lagos were caused by climate change and not the Oyan Dam water release.

Mr Utsev, who said this in a statement issued at the end of his familiarisation visit to Gov. Dapo Abiodun and Ogun Osun River Basin Development Authority, said efforts were on to address the huge problems associated with the annual flooding.

According to him, dams are crucial in flood management and irrigated agriculture, adding that the federal government has developed a comprehensive strategy to better manage flooding nationwide.

“Oyan Dam, boasting of a significant 270 million-cubic-metre capacity reservoir, remains in excellent condition and should not be held accountable for the recent flooding incidents,” he said.

Mr Utsev urged state governments affected by flooding to enact measures to control their citizens’ activities and prevent improper waste disposal and construction of structures on waterways.

The minister also said it was important to address other potential factors contributing to flooding, such as climate change and the absence of drainage systems.

He said that his ministry had initiated the partial commercialisation of river basins across the country, in alignment with the President Bola Tinubu-led administration’s vision for food security.

This, he added, was aimed at enhancing agricultural productivity and bolstering the nation’s economy.

The minister encouraged state governments to actively participate in the “Clean Nigeria Campaign,” aimed at eradicating open defecation, emphasising his ministry’s readiness to collaborate with Ogun to achieve the goal.

According to him, it will ultimately improve the health and well-being of the citizens.

Responding, the governor acknowledged the water challenges in the state and expressed his government’s readiness to collaborate with the federal government in addressing the issues.

He praised the minister’s leadership, expressing hope that his tenure would lead to positive impacts for all Nigerians.

Mr Abiodun assured the minister of his readiness to engage in collaborative efforts with the federal government to tackle the identified challenges.

The minister visited the Oyan dam and the flooded Isheri area during the tour.

The International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA), Ogun State branch, has condemned the alleged recent rape incidents at Tai Solarin University of Education in Ogun.

The chairperson of the association, Taiwo Olusesi, issued this condemnation in a statement she signed.

The statement was forwarded to reporters in Lagos on Thursday.

Mrs Olusesi expressed deep concern about the alleged incidents and described rape as a heinous act, calling for justice for the victims.

“FIDA commends the swift action of the Ogun State Government, which has taken steps to address these incidents by promising to investigate the alleged rape cases and bring the perpetrators to justice.

“We commend this action and urge other state governments to follow suit.

“The rape of women and girls is a serious violation of their human rights and an affront to their dignity.

“It is a crime that should not be condoned or tolerated in any form.

“As an organisation committed to protecting and promoting women’s rights, FIDA calls on governments to take concrete steps to protect women and girls from all forms of gender-based violence, including rape,” she stated.

According to Mrs Olusesi, FIDA will continue to support victims of rape and advocate for their rights.

“We call on all stakeholders, including civil society organizations, religious leaders, and traditional rulers, to join hands with us in the fight against rape and other forms of gender-based violence.

“Together, we can create a safe and equitable society for all,” she concluded.

Some hoodlums reportedly raped no fewer than four female students of the university on Tuesday.

The hoodlums were said to have invaded the hostels of the students located at Abapawa, an area off the university campus.

The Nigerian Supreme Court, on Thursday, affirmed Bola Tinubu’s election as the president of Nigeria after dismissing a piece of crucial evidence that showed the Nigerian leader presented a falsified certificate to run for office.

The court’s seven-member panel said Mr Tinubu was duly elected in February 2023 and should be allowed to remain in office for the next four years.

The justices said the material filed by Mr Tinubu’s main challenger Atiku Abubakar, which included the transcript of a deposition in which Chicago State University disowned the certificate Mr Tinubu submitted to the electoral office on June 17, 2022, to certify his eligibility as a presidential candidate, came too late to be accepted into evidence.

The court held that supplemental evidence could not be filed outside of 180 days post-election, even though the court had previously accepted evidence in similar circumstances in the past.

“The appellants failed to convince this court on why it waited until after the Court below delivered judgement in the petition and lost the 180 days donated to it by the Constitution before bringing the said deposition to be admitted in this court,” Justice Inyang Okoro stated Thursday morning.

While the decision would allow Mr Tinubu to remain in office as president, he’s still likely to face a fresh battle over the forged certificate if he decides to seek reelection in 2027 because today’s judgement did not go into the veracity of the document, but only that it was too late to tender it now.

Mr Abubakar did not file the evidence at the Court of Appeal, which is the initial court of jurisdiction over presidential election petitions, because he was unable to obtain the evidence on time from the United States.

The court’s decision appeared to solidify the fears of Nigerians, who warned prior to today’s ruling that the court would be passing a negative opinion about Nigeria as a country where forgery, identity theft and other serious crimes are condoned even at the highest levels.

Another opposition leader, Peter Obi, suggested earlier in the week that a culture of corruption in the judiciary would hamper it from delivering a clear verdict based on the evidence before it.

The court also settled the ambiguity over whether or not the Nigerian Constitution required the scoring of at least 25 per cent of votes cast in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, for a candidate to be declared winner.

The Supreme Court justices, siding with their colleagues at the Court of Appeal, said voters in the Nigerian capital are not unique, and their votes should carry the same weight as citizens in the rest of the country.

The court also ruled that the Independent National Electoral Commission had the power to set guidelines for elections.

The department faced criticism for failing to implement electronic transmission of election results in violation of its guidelines and public statements in the weeks and days leading to the February 25 exercise.

The apex court stated that it would not re-litigate the allegation of double nomination against Kashim Shettima, who ran for the Senate before getting tapped as Mr Tinubu’s running mate, since the same court had, in May, deemed him qualified in a similar petition raised by the PDP.

Alongside Mr Okoro, the six remaining Supreme Court associate justices who determined Mr Tinubu’s victory included Uwani Abba-Aji, Lawal Garba, Ibrahim Saulawa, Adamu Jauro, Tijjani Abubakar and Emmanuel Agim.

The Senate has confirmed the appointment of Malam Musa Aliyu as the chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).

This followed the adoption of a motion by the Senate Leader, Sen. Opeyemi Bamidele (APC-Ekiti) at the Committee of the Whole on Thursday.

Presenting the motion, Mr Bamidele urged the Senate to consider the request of President Bola Tinubu for the confirmation of Aliyu for appointment as ICP chairman.

He said the request was in accordance with Section 3 (6) of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) Establishment Act, 2000.

He also urged the Senate to consider Mr Tinubu’s request to confirm the appointment of Saka Suleiman and Prof. Gaji Dantata as members of the Federal Judicial Service Commission.

He said the request was in accordance with the provisions of Section 154 (1) and (3) and paragraph 12 (f) of Part 1 to the Third Schedule of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 as amended.

Before their screening, the Senate suspended its rule to allow the admittance of the nominees and other guest into the chamber.

The senior special assistant to the President on National Assembly matters (Senate), Sen. Abdullahi Gumel, led the nominees into the chamber.

Subsequently, the nominees provided highlights of their career profiles and professional experiences.

Mr Aliyu, currently the attorney general and commissioner of justice in Jigawa, mentioned that he initiated far-reaching judicial reforms during his tenure as the attorney general of Jigawa since September 2019.

The Senate then confirmed the appointments of Mr Dantata and Mr Suleiman as members of the Federal Judicial Service Commission (FJSC), representing Kano and Kwara.

Deputy President of the Senate, Barau Jibrin, who presided over the plenary, emphasised that their appointment was a call to serve.

He urged them not to disappoint the President and the Nigerian people while encouraging them to bring their best to the service of the country.

The Israeli Air Force has again bombed numerous targets in the Gaza Strip in the fight against the Palestinian Islamist Hamas movement.

The Israeli military announced Thursday on Telegram that its “fighter jets attacked more than 250 terror targets over the previous day.”

These included command centres, tunnel shafts and rocket-launching pads in the middle of residential areas, which had been used to fire on Israeli territory since the beginning of the latest outbreak of hostilities.

Soldiers also hit a Hamas surface-to-air missile launching site in the Khan Younis area in the south of the Gaza Strip, the military said.

The launching site was located near a mosque and a kindergarten.

This was further evidence that Hamas was deliberately using civilian facilities for terror purposes, it said.

According to Hamas members, two long-range rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip towards Haifa in the north and Eilat in the south of Israel on Wednesday.

The media reported that one projectile exploded in the air and the other fell on open ground in the south.

There were initially no reports of injuries or damage.

The Supreme Court on Thursday declined to admit fresh documents obtained by opposition leader Atiku Abubakar from a United States court as part of his evidence to prove that President Bola Tinubu violated multiple electoral laws before the election.

In the lead judgment currently being delivered by Justice John Okoro, the court held that facts and evidence not rendered at the presidential election tribunal have no place in appeal.

“Facts and matters that were not rendered in the tribunal have no place in the appeal,” the court ruled, adding that; “A petitioner shall not be allowed to introduce new evidences in an appeal.”

By this ruling, the apex court has refused to invoke its powers to accept the fresh evidence that could prove damning to President Tinubu’s continued stay in office.

The court added that Mr Abubakar did not include forgery in his case at the tribunal and that the apex court will not be taking fresh evidence that were not tendered within the 180 days of tribunal.

Super Falcons interim head coach, Justin Madugu says they will fight hard to beat Ethiopia in Abuja next week.

The former African champions held Ethiopia to a 1-1 draw in the first leg of their 2024 Olympics qualifying second round fixture at the Abebe Bekila Stadium, Addis Ababa on Wednesday.

The second leg is billed for the Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja on Tuesday, October 31.

Madugu said the team will go all out for a win in the reverse fixture.

“It wasn’t an easy game, because the Ethiopians also ensured they got something from the game.

“We came to win, but it didn’t come out as expected,” the gaffer said during his post match interaction with the media.

“We will ensure we get a better result at home.”

The overall winners of the tie will face either Cameroon or Uganda in the third round.

Sensational singer, Johnny Drille has said his colleagues and record label mate, Rema isn’t given enough credit for his impeccable contributions to the Nigerian music industry and beyond.

The ‘Believe Me’ crooner cited partiality as the reason Nigerians don’t treasure Rema despite all his musical achievements at a young age.

“And Rema for his age has done some really incredible things that I don’t think we give him enough credit for. I mean, he has literally one of the biggest songs not just in Africa but in the world with ‘Calm Down’ which has been on the Billboard Top 10 for almost a year. That has never been done in the history of African music. And he is having a lot of sold out shows all over the world.

“It just feels to me like he’s just getting started. We need to give the young man more credit.”

A Disc Jockey, DJ, Ajisegiri Ayobami, has recounted how he met the late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, lifeless in his house after a nurse administered an injection on him.

This was as Ayobami said Mohbad died after the nurse administered the injection.

He disclosed this while addressing a Lagos Coroner, Magistrate Adedayo Shotobi, on Wednesday.

He testified that prior to Mohbad’s death, they went for a show at Ikorodu, and on their way back, their Prado SUV was blocked, and he saw Mohbad come down to fight his friend, Primeboy and then he got injured.

He also stated that although the wound was a small cut on his hand but by the time they got home at midnight, the hand was already swollen.

Ayobami said that he and other people in the house tried to call Mohbad’s personal nurse, but she said she was not around, so one of their team members called Spending said he had a nurse, and they called the nurse, who came to administer an injection on him.

According to Ayobami: “The nurse said we should go and get him drugs; while we were at the pharmacy, I called the house to know how he was feeling, and they said I should come back.

“When I got back, they were already outside trying to put him in a neighbour’s car to get him to the hospital, but the way I saw him, he was lifeless, his eyes were closed, and his hands were falling.

“While we were going to the hospital, there was traffic, so I came down from the other vehicle and ran to the hospital; I asked them if they had an ambulance, and they said no. Before I could get back to them, I saw them bringing Mohbad on a bike, and when we got to the hospital he was confirmed dead.”

A man in his 50s has died after his e-scooter was struck by a van in Riverstown, County Sligo, gardaí (Irish police) have said.

The collision happened at about 20:10 local time on Wednesday in the townland of Rusheen.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The male driver of the van is receiving treatment for minor injuries at Sligo University Hospital.

The L1303 road remains closed, pending a forensic examination, and local diversions are in place.

Gardaí have appealed for anyone with information or dashcam footage from the collision to contact them.

EU leaders meet in Brussels on Thursday for a summit overshadowed by Hamas’s war with Israel and the EU’s failure to project a united front.

For weeks, the European Union’s stance on the war has been clouded with mixed messages, diplomatic gaffes and conflicting national views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

But after days of disagreement, EU leaders aim to project a united front.They are expected to back a call for humanitarian pauses in the fighting.

European Council President Charles Michel says the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza is of grave concern and the leaders are keen to facilitate access to food, water, medical care, fuel and shelter.

They hope that will create safer conditions for the release of more than 200 hostages seized by Hamas gunmen during their 7 October attack. Many of those held captive are European dual nationals, including citizens from Germany, France, Portugal and the Netherlands.

EU member states hold sharply differing views and it all makes for a very confusing picture.

Some have reservations about calling for a pause in the fighting and argue it could be seen as limiting Israel’s right to self-defence.

Germany and other countries do not support the idea of one, singular humanitarian pause, because that would be too close to the concept of a ceasefire, when Israel has the right to defend itself from attack.

What was needed instead were shorter breaks in the fighting, an EU diplomat told the BBC. “A pause means both actors stop for good, whereas pauses is temporary. It’s short intervals for a few hours, to get aid,” they said.

Germany, Austria, Hungary and the Czech Republic have taken strong stances of supporting Israel. Spain and Ireland are more attuned with the Palestinian cause.

Several European leaders have been on a diplomatic tour of the Middle East. Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron have all had talks with Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi.

Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer and Czech prime minister Petr Fiala visited Israel on Wednesday.

Those differing views extend to the EU’s executive too.

The EU is the largest donor to the Palestinians, so when Oliver Varhelyi, Hungary’s European Commissioner responsible for policy towards neighbouring countries, announced after the Hamas attack that all payments were being suspended and all new budget proposals postponed, it immediately sent alarm bells ring at aid agencies.

The EC then rushed out a statement saying €691m (£600m) of aid would not be stopped but put under review, and later said it would treble aid for Palestinians.

And when European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen flew to Israel with the president of the European Parliament, she drew criticism for backing Israel’s right to defend itself without stressing that it should stick to international humanitarian law. There seemed to be no effort to connect with the Palestinian Authority.

However, an EU diplomat told journalists that not everything Ms von der Leyen said in Israel was posted on social media. “If you want to be effective, you don’t do megaphone diplomacy,” the diplomat said.

“The Israeli government listens to us if we raise something behind closed doors.

“In a highly unusual move, more than 800 EU staff and diplomats signed an open letter criticising her “uncontrolled” support of Israel. They complained of the Commission’s “double standards”, pointing out that Russia’s blockade of Ukraine was seen as an act of terror, while Israel’s blockade of Gaza was “completely ignored”.

“The EU’s response has been rather unfortunate and very confusing,” James Moran from the Centre for European Policy Studies told the BBC.

“In the past, the EU approach to conflicts in the Middle East had generally managed to come out with an even-handed position. For example, in 2014 calls for a ceasefire were pretty quickly made.”

The EU doesn’t have an army, ships, or planes – but it has played an important diplomatic role in the Middle East.

When it was made up of just nine members in 1980, it issued the ground-breaking Venice Declaration recognising the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination.

Fast forward to 2023, the EU represents 27 countries with “fundamentally opposing views on the Middle East”, an EU diplomat told the BBC.

That became clear during an EU foreign ministers meeting earlier this week, where German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock reportedly argued against a humanitarian ceasefire because Hamas was still firing rockets at Israel.

As a result the EU has so far failed to agree on what kind of pause there should be.

Another crucial element is that the EU doesn’t want to deviate from the US line. The German position on backing short humanitarian pauses to allow aid in is similar to that advocated by the Americans.

“There’s a great need to maintain transatlantic solidarity on Ukraine,” says James Moran. “EU-US cooperation has been very important in helping Ukrainians defend themselves from Russia’s invasion.

“But EU diplomats point out that the war in Ukraine is not remotely comparable to what is happening in the Middle East.

“It was a war on our doorstep, and there was a clear enemy,” a spokesperson for the European Parliament told the BBC. “Nobody ever questioned whether it was right for the EU to help Ukraine arm itself. It was an epochal change.

“Since the beginning of Russia’s aggression, EU support has reached €82.6bn.

That level of unity is missing in the Hamas-Israel war: “A lack of a single voice is the EU’s achilles heel,” the EU diplomat says.

Those differences are likely to resurface when the 27 EU leaders meet behind closed doors in Brussels on Thursday afternoon.

The EU was created as a peace project after the devastation caused by World War Two and does have the potential to be a peace broker.

But in reality no European country is powerful enough to stand alone as a major player; and together they are too divided.

“After a long period of lack of engagement with the Middle East, we can’t somehow magically wake up and turn around the conflict there,” a diplomat told the BBC.

Australia’s most serious bushfire season since its so-called “Black Summer” has turned fatal.

As more than 100 fires burned across the country on Thursday, Queensland officials said two people have died in major blazes near the town of Tara.

Two people also died fighting fires in New South Wales (NSW) last week.

Authorities have for months warned a cocktail of conditions means this bushfire season will be extremely dangerous.

In a briefing, the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services said about 350 people had been evacuated from the Tara region, where an out-of-control fire has so far burned through more than 11,000 hectares of land and destroyed 16 homes.

They said a man died on Tuesday night while trying to protect his property, and a woman died on Wednesday after suffering a cardiac arrest while preparing to evacuate.

Overnight dry lightning storms sparked several new blazes in the same region. Many are under control but one has triggered an emergency warning.

But conditions are likely to worsen again on Thursday, with both temperatures and wind speeds expected to increase.

“[It] will again be another challenging day for us today, as we head into areas of extreme fire danger,” Rural Fire Service acting assistant commissioner Peter Hollier said.

Elsewhere, firefighters are also battling to put out blazes in New South Wales (NSW), Victoria and the Northern Territory.

In NSW last week a veteran volunteer firefighter died of a medical episode while on duty in the state’s north, and another man died while trying to protect his property on the mid-north coast.

Authorities earlier this week said they believe three large fires in that area had been deliberately lit.

Australia has been on high alert for bushfire danger. This is because of years of rain-driven plant growth, which is drying out after the warmest winter on record, and an El Nino-affected summer that promises more hot and dry months.

The country has reeled from disaster to disaster in recent years, as it feels the effects of climate change.

Earlier this month towns in Victoria were threatened by bushfires only to be forced to prepare for floods just hours later.

The current bushfire season also comes after several years of record-breaking floods, which followed the Black Summer bushfires in 2019-20, which themselves followed years of drought.

The world’s top climate scientists have warned that a future full of worsening disasters is likely unless urgent action is taken to tackle climate change.

Popular skit maker and content creator, Mark Angel has made a shocking revelation about his private life.

In a recent podcast interview with Teju Babyface, the Port-Harcourt-born thespian revealed that he got married secretly and divorced secretly.

However, he did not disclose when the marriage and divorce took place.

The 32-year-old emphasised that given the current state of his romantic life, he wouldn’t entertain his daughter dating someone like himself.

According to him, he was in an uncommitted relationship with about five different women.

Mark said, “I was once married. I have never said this on any podcast, anywhere. I got married in secret and was divorced in secret.

“I don’t know if I’m dating now or not. But I’ve like five different babes. If I were my daughter, I wouldn’t date someone like myself.”

South African rapper Nasty C has boasted that he is on the same level as American hip-hop legends, Eminem, Drake, J. Cole, Jay Z and Kendrick Lamar.

Speaking in an interview with Dream Media SA, the ‘Zulu Man With Some Power’ crooner said he can go “toe to toe with any rapper in the world.”

He said he has no competition in South Africa, boasting that his only competitors are American hip-hop superstars.

Nasty said, “I’m not saying I’m the best rapper in South Africa. But I don’t see anyone who can really defeat me in a rap battle.

“I can go toe to toe with any rapper in the world. I’m in competition with Eminem, Drake, J. Cole, Jay Z and Kendrick. I’m not saying I’m the best rapper in the world. But no rapper can outshine me.”

Maverick singer, Ọlawale Ọlọfọrọ, popularly known as Brymo, has accused Grammy-winning musician, Burna Boy of stealing his intellectual property.

The ‘Ara’ crooner alleged that Burna Boy’s ‘City Boys’ and ‘I Told Them’ sampled the album title track of his upcoming album, ‘Macabre.’

He said what Burna Boy did was a “crime” and should serve a jail term.

On his Instagram handle, Brymo wrote; “By end of this year y’all will recollect that ‘Macabre’ wasn’t released when in the public, and as privately as it gets .: ‘city boy’.. and ‘I Told You’ were fed to Burna Boy..

“Former of the track titles I mentioned above is there to point me to the fact that the latter, and his album title is the hook I sing on my album title track ‘Macabre’.. burna na really boy.. and that’s a crime.!!

An actual crime…To do time for… and if una like make una resurrect legends to come complain about stolen songs… una go regret this shit to numerous degrees… shey una no dey hear word !!.”

Former Chelsea striker, Chris Sutton, has hit out at Mykhailo Mudryk after the winger celebrated his Premier League goal against Arsenal last weekend.

Sutton insisted that Mudryk should not have been allowed to celebrate his goal against Arsenal, adding that the Ukrainian should have walked back to the halfway line in ’embarrassment’.

Mudryk scored his second goal of the season for Chelsea when he loft the ball over David Raya in a Premier League 2-2 draw against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.

While it appeared as though Mudryk meant to cross into the box, the former Shakhtar Donetsk star took the plaudits by standing with his arms aloft in front of supporters.

However, Sutton believes Mudryk was wrong to celebrate the goal as he ‘didn’t mean it’.

“I don’t think you should be allowed to celebrate a goal if you don’t mean it,” Sutton was quoted by Metro UK as saying.

“I know he was happy but he also celebrated like he meant it. That was, come on!

“Not like the big arms out! You should walk back with embarrassment if you are meaning to cross it.”

A cleric, Prophet Adegoke Jeremiah, aka Billion Dollars Prophet, has slammed a N22 million defamatory suit against popular chef, Damilola Adeparusi, better known as Chef Dammy.

Chef Dammy recently called out Billion Dollars Prophet on social media, saying he should be held responsible if anything happens to her.

According to her, Billion Dollars Prophet had been threatening, cursing, and bullying her for months after her cook-a-thon.

The clergyman has now sued the chef for defamation.In a letter signed by his lawyers, Bisayo Sule & Co Legal Practitioners, and dated 23rd October 2023, the Prophet demanded a retraction of the libelous statement on social media and two widely read national dailies and payment of a sum of N22 million for damages.

The letter partly read, “In view of the incalculable damage you have done to the good reputation of our client, we demand a retraction of the libelous statement on all the social media particularly your Instagram page, and two (2) widely read national dailies.

“Additionally, we are demanding a sum of (Twenty Million Naira Only).

“N20,000,000:00 being Damages for the act of Defamation against our client.

“Take notice that you have seven (7) days from the date of service of this letter on you, the date of service inclusive to comply with our demand.

“Failure of which we shall not hesitate to seek a redress in the court of law.”

Pastor Isaac Oyedepo, one of the sons of Bishop David Oyedepo, founder of Living Faith Church, aka Winners Chapel, has resigned.

Isaac, who was recently appointed as the Global Youth Pastor of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, resigned to start up his own ministry.

He said, “My God-given mandate is to reclaim a generation and to ensure that this generation sees the fire of God-revival in our generation.”

He is the second son of Bishop Oyedepo.

He and his elder brother, David Jr., were ordained as pastors in May 2007 by Kenneth Copeland.

He is a graduate of Oral Roberts University and has served as the resident pastor of the Living Faith Church International, Maryland, USA, since October 2018.

Isaac is married to Ayomitide Oyedepo and their union is blessed with four children.

Singer and former YBNL Nation artiste Temmie Ovwasa has explained she doesn’t feel pregnancy scare despite being a woman.

Ovwasa, known for her unapologetic stance regarding her s3xual orientation, emphasised her commitment to not engaging in s3xual relations with men.

In a video shared on her Instagram page, the young artiste who disclosed that she would be turning 27 by November, stated that she has never encountered a pregnancy scare.

Exuding a strong sense of self-assuredness, Temmie spoke about how being a lesbian has provided her with a sense of freedom from concerns about menstrual cycles.

She, however, has remained firm in her orientation despite receiving numerous advances from men, she has remained resolute in her orientation.

“I’m going to be 27 by November and I have never had a pregnancy scare because of lesbianism. Men will come to me to tell me I need to try d!ck,” she said.
