Image
Veteran Nollywood actress Patience Ozokwo , fondly known as Mama G , continues to dominate conversations across Nigeria — not only for her unmatched acting talent but also for her surprising new fame in the world of internet memes . The award-winning actress, whose film career spans over three decades, has once again proven that true stardom never fades; it simply evolves with the times. The Meme Queen of Nollywood In recent weeks, Patience Ozokwo’s facial expressions, movie stills, and emotional outbursts from classic Nollywood films have been turned into hundreds of viral memes circulating across social media platforms such as X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, and Instagram.

Instead of reacting angrily, the legendary actress embraced the trend with grace and humor. She posted on her officia...

Image
  In his bid to establish his allegations of malpractices in the conduct of the February 25 presidential election, the Labour Party (LP) candidate in the last election, Peter Gregory Obi on Tuesday, tendered additional 188 exhibits against the declaration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as winner of the election. The exhibits, mainly results sheets and reports used by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) during the election, were tendered at the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) and admitted as exhibits to be used to determine the legality or otherwise of Tinubu’s return as the President. Obi, through Peter Afoba, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, tendered forms EC40GPU, EC40G1 and reports prepared by the electoral body after the election.

NASS Inauguration: Nigerian Lawmakers Elect New Senate President, Speaker (LIVE UPDATES)

Image
  However, the proceedings could hold simultaneously in both chambers since the House Standing Order now provides that the deputy CNA “shall preside over the election of the Speaker and Deputy Speaker” in the absence of the CNA. While all 109 senators-elect will take the oath of office today, only 358 members-elect will do so in the lower chamber. This is because the member-elect for Jalingo federal constituency of Taraba State, Isam’ila Maihanchi, died in April while the Speaker of the 9th House, Femi Gbajabiamila, will be taking up a new appointment as the chief of staff to President Bola Tinubu. This means that INEC will have to conduct a by-election to fill the two seats. Mr Gbajabiamila had been re-elected on 25 February to represent Surulere 1 Federal constituency of Lagos State for the sixth time until his appointment a few days ago. The lawmakers were elected during the 25 February National Assembly elections though a few others were returned during subsequent supplementary...

  Four Indigenous children who disappeared 40 days ago after surviving a small   plane crash  in the Amazon jungle were found alive Friday, Colombian authorities announced, ending an intense search that gripped the nation. The children were alone when searchers found them and are now receiving medical attention, President Gustavo Petro told reporters upon his return to Bogota from Cuba, where he signed a cease-fire agreement with representatives of the National Liberation Army rebel group.
