< 1 mn read

The Rivers State Commissioner for Housing, Gift Worlu has resigned from the cabinet of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

Worlu’s resignation comes just as the state Commisiskner for Education, Professor Prince Chinedu Mmom also tendered his resignation from the Fubara cabinet.

In a letter addressed to Governor Fubara, through the Secretary to the State Government, Tammy Danagogo, Worlu cited a “toxic” work environment, as well as the alleged attempt to merge the executive and legislative arms of government as his reason for resignation.

His letter states, “I write to formally resign my appointment as the Honourable Commissioner of Housing.

“One of the most difficult decision in my life yet, it is precipitated by the toxic atmosphere that has characterised our working relationship, especially the smouldering arbitrariness of decisions and actions, induding the attempt to fuse the executive and legislative arms of government in Rivers State.

“I thank you for the opportunity to serve in your government and wish you the best as you continue to steer the ship of state.

”Kindly accept assurances of my esteemed regards.”

DAILY POST earlier reported that the Rivers Commissioner for Education, Professor Prince Chinedu Mmom on Wednesday resigned as a member of the State Executive Council.

Nigeria to host Network of African Data Protection Authorities conference
2 mn read

The Nigerian Government, through the Nigeria Data Protection Commission, NDPC, is set to host the 10th edition of the Network of African Data Protection Authorities’ (NADPA-RADPA) Conference and Annual General Meeting.

A statement released by the NDPC said the decision was made during the 9th NADPA Annual General Meeting held in Nairobi, Kenya, where Nigeria emerged as the successful bidder to host the event.

The Network of African Data Protection Authorities (NADPA-RAPDP), founded in Ouagadougou in September 2016, consists of 23 (Twenty-Three) Data Protection Authorities across Africa.

Its primary objective is to establish a platform for exchanges and cooperation among its members while amplifying Africa’s voice in global partnerships.

Nigeria joined the network in 2022 and has been actively engaged since then, including taking on the role of coordinator for the Regulatory Harmonization working group during the recently concluded annual general meeting in 2024.

The 9th NADPA–RADPA Conference and Annual General Meeting, hosted by the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner in Nairobi, Kenya, was marked by an impressive turnout, with over 1500 individuals and organizations in attendance.

Noteworthy participants included multinational corporations such as Google, Amazon Web Services, EY and Microsoft, as well as development partners which included the European Union, German Corporation, GIZ, and Digital Transformation Center among others.

The 2025 edition will serve as a pivotal platform for Data Protection Authorities from across Africa to convene, collaborate, and share insights on emerging trends, challenges, and best practices within the data protection and privacy ecosystem.

Furthermore, it will bolster Nigeria’s economic growth by attracting Foreign Direct Investments and contribute to the enhancement of the country’s tourism sector by providing delegates with opportunities to explore its offerings.

Moreover, hosting such a prestigious event will elevate Nigeria’s reputation as a hub for innovation, research, and academic excellence, thereby attracting additional investment and talent, while serving as a prime opportunity to showcase the country’s diverse industries, products, and services to a global audience.

Additionally, the conference will facilitate capacity building and skill development in digital technologies, empowering individuals and organizations with the knowledge and tools required to thrive in the current global digital economy.

The conference serves as more than just a platform for sharing insights, as it will highlight Nigeria’s unwavering commitment to advancing data protection principles and fostering international cooperation in this crucial field.

Collaborating with various Government Agencies, Multinational Corporations, and Development Partners, NDPC is poised to co-host this event. With its multifaceted agenda, the conference promises to ignite growth, foster collaboration, and drive advancement within the data protection landscape and beyond.

6 thoughts that signal trouble in your relationship
3 mn read

Your inner monologue can reveal your state of being — i.e., the quality of your present experience — in your relationship.

This state of being can help you discern whether the kind of thoughts you’re having may be signs you’re involved in an unhealthy, perhaps even toxic, relationship.

Unhealthy relationships are characterized by insecurity, distrust, preoccupation, and disconnection.

Bear in mind that your own mental health is a huge factor in your state of anxiety and ability to trust; therefore the health of the relationship is not necessarily a reflection on just your partner. It is rather a function of the connection between you as a couple.

The strength and health of your connection with one another relies on each of you being in, or at least evolving towards, a healthy relationship with yourself.

The statements you make to yourself within your inner dialogue can reveal a great deal about whether or not that is the case. If you find yourself having some or all of these six recurrent thoughts, your inner monologue is sending you signs that it’s a toxic, unhealthy relationship.

Here are 6 unhealthy relationship thoughts:

1. “I feel like I’m walking on eggshells around my partner”
In healthy relationships, there is a baseline sense of ease and comfort in being your best self. If you feel yourself constantly walking on eggshells around your partner, some issues are not being talked about, understood, or accepted. This state of being will not support you being your best self in the relationship or outside the relationship. This is a symptom that should be addressed sooner rather than later! Initiate or find help initiating a healthy dialogue that will allow you to discover whether whatever you are tiptoeing around can be resolved.

2. “I don’t understand my partner’s moods”
Everyone has mood shifts and mood swings. In a healthy relationship, a good level of understanding develops such that you each have a good working sense of when and why your moods shift. The core of a healthy bond is that the two people are good at mutually tracking and regulating their own and each other’s emotional states. Starting in infancy, this process is how our brains wire an emotional connection through the experience of trust.

In unhealthy relationships, mood shifts feel mysterious and therefore dangerous. If you find yourself constantly unsure of your partner’s feeling state and feel ill at ease because their mood shifts don’t’ make sense to you, beware. You either need to do some work together to reach a level of mutual understanding, or the relationship will become less and less healthy over time.

3. “I feel constantly uncertain about my partner’s connection to me”
Disconnection and uncertainty define unhealthy relationships. Of course, the connection in any relationship will ebb and flow. But if the overriding feeling is characterized by uncertainty and/or you are preoccupied, wondering about the connection, your relationship probably needs some work.

4. “I’m not sure whether I can trust my partner to be faithful”
In a strong, healthy bond, there is a mutual feeling that you are in it together. While many people are aware of some level of jealousy, couples in a healthy relationship can state with a high degree of certainty that they feel their partner is faithful to them. An ongoing level of preoccupation about your partner’s faithfulness is not a healthy state to live in. Preoccupation zaps energy from your life, friendships, work, and play. A healthy relationship should support the rest of your life, not drain energy from it.

Woman thinks her partner is cheating on her

5. “My partner wouldn’t be affected much if I were unfaithful”
When we are bonded to another person, a betrayal of that bond feels like a knife in the gut. If one or the other of you feels unphased by romantic or sexual feelings with another, there is likely not a healthy depth to the bond. Guarding the bond is a protective instinct. If that instinct is not there, it may be an indication that the bond isn’t there either.

6. “Things will be better as soon as…”
Granted, some periods of life pose challenges to a relationship. But if you constantly find yourself rationalizing problems in the connection due to external events, beware. A healthy bond will help you through difficult times more often than not. If you find yourself passively waiting for some external pressure to relieve, you might be waiting forever. If you are in a difficult time, make sure your partnership still possesses dynamism and that over time there is a growth curve. If you can look back on your challenging times and see that your connection has grown through them rather than avoiding them, that’s the ticket!

Breakdown of presidential aircraft: You can use commercial flight — PDP Reps tell Tinubu
2 mn read

Opposition lawmakers in the House of Representatives on Wednesday said President Bola Tinubu can use commercial flight if the presidential planes are not available.

The lawmakers made the assertion during a debate on the recent breakdown of presidential flights.

The Minority Leader, Kingsley Chinda and Minority Whip, Ali Isa, during a debate on a motion on the Presidential Fleet, said Tinubu should consider commercial flights.

Ahmad Satomi, a lawmaker from Borno State, had moved a motion of urgent public importance over the reported breakdown of the plane Tinubu used for the past foreign visit.

According to the reports, Tinubu had to use a chartered commercial flight from the Netherlands to Saudi Arabia.

It would be recalled that Vice President Kashim Shettima reportedly had to cancel a flight because of the breakdown of his flight.

Satomi, in the motion, raised concerns over the use of commercial chartered flights due to security implications.

The lawmaker asked the House to summon the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu and the Commandant of the Presidential Fleet.

Speaking on the motion, Mr Ali, a PDP lawmaker from Gombe State, said the President should be using commercial flights.

Ali’s comments generated applause from the minority bench as many hailed him.

Also speaking on the motion, the minority leader, Chinda, stressed that there is nothing wrong with Tinubu taking commercial flights.

“I have not seen anything wrong with a public official using commercial flight. The Prime Minister of the UK uses British Airways. We should be thinking of how to revive the national carrier,” Chinda said.

He added, “If we have a Presidential Fleet, we should be able to maintain them. If they need new presidential planes, the next budget is around the corner.“

Speaking further, the minority leader said the issue is not serious enough for the House to be deliberating on.

Seeing the mood of the House that the motion could be defeated, the Deputy Speaker, who presided over the session, ruled that the motion should be stepped down while the House Committee on National Security and Intelligence should investigate the matter.

4 tiny things to do every single day for your mental fitness
2 mn read

Everyone is constantly busy, whether it is juggling work. school, family, or all of the above. That’s why it’s so important to find ways to unwind and take care of your mental health.

But how can we do that without adding more to our plate?

Licensed therapist Cat Hoggard Wagley shares her go-to relaxation methods that are guaranteed to boost your mental health.

4 Tiny Things You Can Do Every Day To Improve Your Mental Fitness

1. Disconnect from your job.

If you want to boost your mental health, it’s important to disconnect from your workday. Taking the time to disconnect allows you to hit the reset button and recharge yourself.

The best way to disconnect is by journaling your thoughts, explains Wagley. Write about your workday and any lingering thoughts you have. Add any comments or questions you’d like to save for the next workday then close the book.

Journaling allows you to reflect, which can help you process and then disconnect from your thoughts. After journaling, spend 30 minutes watching TikTok or playing video games.

Engaging in entertainment helps distract us from our unhelpful thoughts, explains Wagley.

Birmingham City University also suggests that enjoying a healthy dose of entertainment is:

  • A great source of advice.
  • It helps to build virtual social connections.
  • It improves your overall mood.

2. Reconnect with the important people in your life.

Another way to improve your mental health is by reconnecting with your partner, friends, or family, recommends Wagley.

Simply call someone or chat with your partner after work, but make sure to focus on the conversation and avoid distractions.

As Better Health Channel states, “The benefits of social connections and good mental health are numerous.”

Connecting with others helps to decrease anxiety and depression. Moreover, those with strong relationships tend to have high self-esteem, empathy, and trust in relationships. Better Health Channel also reports that people with strong relationships have stronger immune systems.

On the flip side, loneliness has been associated with poorer sleep patterns, higher blood pressure, and higher stress levels.

3. Create something new.

Set aside 15-20 minutes to get creative, advises Wagley. Whether it’s assembling a puzzle, painting, writing, or inventing a new recipe, letting your creativity flow boosts your mental health greatly.

According to Diverus Health, “Being creative can help increase positive emotions, reduce depressive symptoms and anxiety, and improve the function of our immune systems.”

Moreover, creativity helps let go of unhelpful thoughts you likely still carry from your job.

4. Take time away to focus on yourself.

Whether you’re soaking in a relaxing bath or getting lost in a good book, practicing mindfulness allows you to connect with your surroundings without feeling pressured to create anything, says Wagley.

Taking time for yourself, be sure to turn off all electronics. The point is to ground yourself back to reality.

According to NIH News In Health, those who practice mindfulness have greater enthusiasm for life and a better time relaxing. Moreover, activities such as meditation have been shown to reduce both anxiety and aggression.

Whether you’re into meditation, yoga, or just working out, practicing mindfulness techniques every day will help you unwind easier.

By fitting these activities into your evenings and spacing them out, you give yourself some personal time to unwind and reconnect with yourself, explains Wagler. Over time, this can lead to better mental health,

Matawalle: EFCC pledges thorough investigation on fraud allegations

Matawalle: EFCC pledges thorough investigation on fraud allegations
2 mn read

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has pledged to conduct a thorough investigation into the corruption allegations against the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle.

The spokesman of the anti-graft agency, Dele Oyewale, gave this assurance in a statement on Wednesday during an interface at the EFCC headquarters in Abuja between the EFCC and members of the Tinubu Youth and Women Network, a political pressure group that has been advocating for an investigation into Matawalle’s alleged corruption.

Matawalle is being investigated over allegations of mismanagement of public funds and resources during his tenure as the Governor of Zamfara State from 2019 to 2023.

DAILY POST recalls that the EFCC had announced in May 2023 that it was investigating Matawalle over allegations of massive corruption, award of fictitious contracts, and diversion of over N70 billion.

The Tinubu Youth and Women Network, which claims to be working with the government to identify and address instances of corruption, urged the EFCC to revisit the investigation into Matawalle’s alleged corruption.

Carrying placards with inscriptions such as ‘EFCC, why is Matawalle free?’, ‘EFCC, don’t forget Matawalle’, ‘EFCC, is Matawalle above the law?’ among others, the group said the former governor had diverted billions of naira meant for projects in Zamfara State and has called for his prosecution.

While presenting their demands, the leader of the group, Comrade Aliyu Yunusa, said, “We are formally requesting the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) to reopen the investigation into the corruption allegations against the former governor of Zamfara State, Bello Mohammed Matawalle, who is currently state Minister for Defense.

“We are appealing to the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) to continue investigating Bello Mohammed Matawalle’s alleged mismanagement of public funds during his tenure as Governor of Zamfara State and his involvement in the famous arms deal scandal.

“As party loyalists, we want the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) to investigate the matter and bring justice to those responsible for the mismanagement of public funds. This will serve as a deterrent to others considering engaging in corrupt practices in public office, especially considering what happened to the humanitarian minister.”

Reacting to the group’s demands, Oyewale assured that the EFCC will convey their message to the commission’s chairman, Ola Olukoyede, and assured that the right thing will be done concerning the matter.

“Investigations as far as anti-corruption work is concerned, is not a press-button thing. Investigations have to be detailed, they have to be thorough, fully integrated and broad-based. You have aired your views, and we will do what we’re supposed to do.

“We’ll convey your message to the executive chairman. As you can see, the admin has been doing marvelously well, and it’ll do more. Every single thing that you have addressed in your letter will be conveyed to the appropriate quarters, and I can assure you that the right thing will be done,” Oyewale said.

Rivers crisis: Wike is aggressor, Fubara resorting to self-defense – Atiku’s ex-aide
< 1 mn read

A former spokesman of the Atiku-Okowa Presidential Campaign Council, Daniel Bwala, on Wednesday accused the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, of subjecting Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara to intense harassment.

Bwala said Fubara has never been the aggressor in the face-off with Wike, stressing that the governor had to resort to self-defence.

Posting on X, Bwala wrote: “Gov. Fubara @SimFubaraKSC has never been the aggressor; he was subjected to intense harassment by minister @GovWike who goes to Portharcourt every weekend to harass him; until Sim Fubara decided to react in exercise of self defense. Just to set the record.”

Fubara and Wike have been at loggerheads over the political control of Rivers State.

The rift between the duo has affected the legislative arm of the state, leading to the defections of state Assembly members and emergence of factional Speakers.

Despite a presidential intervention, Fubara recently claimed that the state was overburdened by the debt left behind by Wike.

To this end, the governor vowed to probe Wike’s administration.

Three Commissioners quit Fubara’s cabinet as Rivers crisis worsens
2 mn read

No fewer than three Commissioners on Wednesday resigned as members of the State Executive Council.

This is coming amid the political crisis bedevilling the state following the leadership battle between the incumbent governor, Siminalayi Fubara and his immediate predecessor Nyesom Wike.

The Commissioner for Education, Professor Prince Chinedu Mmom was the first to hit the public with his resignation notice contained in a letter he addressed to the state governor through the office of the Secretary to the State Government.

Professor Mmom referenced a “toxic” working environment as his reason for resignation, stating that such an environment will make it impossible to achieve “my set targets for the Education sector in the State”

Shortly after the report of Mmom’s resignation, the Commissioner for Housing, Gift Worlu also tendered his resignation from Governor Sim Fubara’s government.

Worlu, in his resignation letter which was contained in a letter dated May 15 and directed to the governor, thanked Furaba for the privilege to serve in his government.

Similarly, the state’s Commissioner for Environment, Austen Ben-Chioma also announced his resignation from the cabinet on Wednesday.

In his letter of resignation, Ben-Chioma, who thanked the governor for the privilege to serve, attributed his decision to the lingering political crisis in the state.

He said, “I want to appreciate Your Excellency for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the State Executive Council. My decision to resign is due to the political crisis befalling our dear state and other personal reasons”

DAILY POST reports that the resignations are not unconnected to the face-off between Fubara and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike.

There are indications that other unpleasant events may still unfold subsequently as the governor insisted that about 25 lawmakers loyal to Wike, who defected from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP to the All Progressives Congress APC have lost their seats.

Rehabilitate Idah-Onyedega road in Ibaji LGA – Kogi lawmakers beg Gov Ododo
3 mn read

The Kogi State House of Assembly has appealed to Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo to urgently rehabilitate the Idah-Onyedega road in Ibaji Local Government Area of the State.

The lawmakers made the appeal during the house plenary on Wednesday in Lokoja.

In a matter of urgent public importance moved by the member representing Ibaji State Constituency, Comfort Ojoma Nwuchiola, she lamented that the Idah-Onyedega road has become a death trap for citizens of the country.

According to the lawmaker, “It will interest the House to note that one of the devastating consequences of the flooding of Rivers Niger and Benue in 2012 and again in 2022 is the destruction of Idah —Onyedega Road in Ibaji Local Government Area of our dear State.

” It is on record that many parts of the state were ravaged, tens of thousands of our people rendered homeless, properties, farmlands and infrastructure hugely destroyed. Our experiences in Ibaji are not better. We suffered the highest from the overflowing Rivers Niger and Benue. The entire Local Government was submerged.

“The House should further note that the aftermath of the last two deluges, particularly as they affect access to Onyedega, the Local Government Headquarters and other villages within Ibaji, has been devastating.

” The State Government intervened with relief materials and utilitarian amenities, rehabilitation of a number of infrastructures in support of the Local Government Area. What is required now is to reconstruct Idah-Onyedega Road and other access roads linking other communities within and outside the Local Government Area.

” The urgent need of my constituents as people affected by the ruins and misfortune of overflowing rivers is access to their Local Government Headquarters, to their respective homes. This lack of access to good roads remains the only scar of the ravages and the healing moment in their collective lives. Rehabilitation of the existing bypass to Onyedega, the headquarters of the Local Government Area will therefore be the all-time solution to the most intractable problem of Ibaji Local Government Area”.

“The house should take cognisance of the fact that the said road is badly damaged, cut off at intervals in most cases into two. The entire stretch of the road requires filling and grading for proper reconstruction”

She admonished the State Government to map out engineering work and redesign as well as construct the road with bridges where necessary as a lasting solution.

Seconding the motion, the member representing Dekina/Okura and Former Deputy Speaker of the Assembly Enema Paul described the situation in Ibaji Local Government as pathetic.

In his contributions, the member representing Ajaokuta State Constituency Abu Onoru-Oiza Jibrin said Ibaji Local Government can not be neglected as they are contributing immensely to the economic growth of Nigeria.

His words “Ibaji Local Government Area can not be hidden in the map because it has become a main stake in Nigeria’s economy because of the crude oil. Mr speaker, travelling to Ibaji is like sentencing your enemy to 21 years in prison. The nature of the road in Ibaji has increased transportation and insecurity.

” Many people, especially pregnant women, have lost their lives due to the bad nature of the road. Many pregnant women do not have access to medical facilities as they die on the way before reaching the nearest hospital. We don’t want Ibaji Local Government to join the list of communities crying for development despite the fact that they deserve the 13 percent derivation for producing oil in Nigeria. It is on this note, that we are all appealing to the Kogi State Government to treat this matter with urgent seriousness”.

Lending his voice, the lawmaker representing Bassa State Constituency, Sunday Daku lamented that his local government is also faced with a bad road network which has affected the socioeconomic development of his people.

” While I appreciate the effort of the State Government for the construction of a bridge in my constituency, I still want them to note that there is no good road in Bassa Local Government. Because of the bad road network across the local government, it has become a breeding ground for hoodlums to carry out their nefarious activities” he stated.

In his ruling, the Speaker, Aliyu Umar Yusuf acknowledged that the Ibaji road is always flooded annually, adding that the contributions of the local government to the national economy can not be overemphasized.

The Speaker directed the Clerk of the House to convey the resolution of the Assembly to the Executive arm of Government.

Korra Obidi’s ex-husband Justin Dean drags for scamming netizens with GoFundMe
< 1 mn read

Justin Dean has accused his ex-wife, Korra Obidi, of deceiving people on GoFundMe by claiming she needed $55,000 for legal fees when she actually only needed $5,000.

Korra had initially asked her online community for donations to help cover her legal expenses in her court battle against Justin.

The reason for the lawsuit was that Justin did not want their daughters’ images and videos to be shared on social media, especially in the context of the content Korra typically posts.

However, Justin alleges that Korra scammed her followers and used the money for personal gain, as he claims she purchased two cars and two houses in the past two years.

To support his accusations, Justin shared a voice recording of Korra’s sister, who stated that Korra already had the money but wanted more from her fans to fight against Justin.

Additionally, the sister mentioned that Korra’s fans enjoy being scammed, which was in response to people labeling Korra as a scammer.

Although, after 9 psychiatrists and with the help of some family and friends, she was able to move past it and regain her will to live.

She encouraged other people who struggle with depression to be okay with seeking for help and knowing that a turnaround is possible.

Her tweet reads;

“Years ago I had a failed attempt @ suicide.What people don’t get is that many don’t really want to go thru with it. It’s d pain you want to kill not yourself.
In that fleeting sec you’re still hoping someone will save u.
I’m grateful 4 my turnaround & bonus yrs #depression

If you’re in that place called depression, I promise you that a turn around is possible.. Talk to someone. There is no shame in admitting you need help and getting it. All that matters is your recovery. Thankfully more people understand Mental illness better now.

Hmmmm.
It’s all in my bk Dust to Dew…
it took 9 psychiatrists; 5 in Lagos; 3 of whom were clueless lol, 1 in London (who was like “oh not another crazy one”? 😀)to 2 in Dubai, a very a kind hubby, beloved 2 adult children, great siblings, my mum, meds, & my own will to live”
