Court Orders NMA to Verify Kanu’s Health in Eight Days? A Critical Look A claim circulating in some corners of social media and alternative news outlets asserts that a court has directed the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) to verify the health status of Nnamdi Kanu within eight days. However, after a review of current media reports, there is no credible evidence of such an order. What the Reports Actually Say In September 2025, Kanu’s legal team filed a motion asking the Federal High Court in Abuja to transfer him from DSS custody to the Abuja National Hospital for medical attention. ( The Guardian Nigeria ) Justice Musa Liman , who was serving as a vacation judge, initially accepted the motion ex parte and scheduled a hearing, ordering that DSS be served. ( The Gu...

Obasanjo Threatens To Expose Buhari's                                          Government Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said that most of the officials in the Buhari-led government will not only go to jail but also go to hell if the entire government is investigated for corruption. According to him, this government is by far enmeshed in corruption. He said this in an interview with BBC Yoruba. While comparing his former Vice President and PDP Presidential candidate in the 2019 presidential election, Atiku Abubakar with President Buhari, the former President said though Atiku is not a messiah, he would have done far better than President Buhari if given the opportunity. “What I am saying is that where we are today, our present situation, if you look at those who are there today and our boss, I insist that Atiku will do better than them. This is not a prophe...

8-year old boy born with the worlds biggest hands An eight-year-old boy suffering from a rare form of giantism, which caused his hands to grow disproportionately large, has undergone dramatic surgery to reduce them. Mohammad Kaleem, who lives with his parents in a small village in Jharkhand State, eastern India, was born with the condition which saw his hands and arms grow until they weighed a colossal two stone between them. As a result of his illness, Kaleem has been bullied by his peers and was even refused admission to school because his hands would “scare” other children. The family has also suffered the wrath of superstitious neighbors in their remote village, who believed Kaleem’s large hands to be the result of a curse, branding him a “devil’s child”. “The school teachers said they could not take Kaleem. They said his huge hands will scare other kids. So he was denied admission,” said Mohammad Shamim, Kaleem’s father. As Kaleem grew older, it became increasingly dif...

Tanzania billionaire speaks about his kidnapping Tanzanian billionaire Mohammed Dewji, who was kidnapped and held for 10 days in October last year, says he was ready to die, having been disoriented by his captivity. 43-year-old Dewji, who is widely considered to be Africa’s youngest billionaire, told the BBC he asked his kidnappers to shoot him. He was speaking to mainstream media for the first time since he was abducted outside a hotel gym in the country’s main city, Dar es Salaam. Why I asked kidnapper to shoot me Dewji said he was disoriented and blindfolded at the time he asked the kidnappers to end his life. You get disoriented, youre tired, because its a form of torture. “I was blindfolded and there were times they kept on threatening me with guns to my head and five days, six days into it I was thinking I was losing my eye sight,” Dewji narrated. “[The kidnapper] was like ‘I’m going to shoot you’ and I was like ‘you can shoot me and kill me’, because I was losing it. You get dis...

Ethiopia's Sidama people to vote on self-determination Polls opened on Wednesday for Ethiopia’s Sidama people to vote on self-determination in a referendum closely watched by other ethnic groups also seeking more autonomy since reforms by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed shook up the national power balance. The special vote for the Sidama, mostly based in the south and comprising about 4% of Ethiopia’s 105 million people, comes ahead of a general election next year and has brought fears of renewed violence. At least 17 people died in clashes in July between security forces and Sidama activists after the government delayed the poll by five months. Voters lined up before dawn at a polling station in Hiteta, a neighbourhood in the city of Hawassa, women carrying babies, elders wrapped in white, handwoven blankets, the gabi, and young men with traditional Sidama scarfs tied around their heads. Many waived their voting cards in celebration as they waited to cast their ballots when ...

The army was able to reoccupy the camp in Boulkessi, and at least 15 fighters were killed and five of their vehicles destroyed, he added. A Malian military source told the AFP news ag...
