In a developing legal drama that has captured national attention, Nigerian TikToker Timothy Gabriel , popularly known as Tumma , has been remanded in Kuje Correctional Centre following defamation allegations made by Senator Ned Nwoko and his wife, Regina Daniels . The case was heard on July 2, 2025 , at the Federal High Court in Abuja under Justice Yilwa H. Joseph. Tumma was accused of publishing defamatory content and spreading false information on social media aimed at tarnishing the image of the influential couple. The charges, filed by the FCT Police Command, border on cyberstalking and injurious falsehood , both of which carry serious penalties under Nigeria’s cybercrime laws. Although Tumma’s legal team had filed a bail application on June 30 , the motion was not found in the court’s file during the hearing, leading the judge to postpone further action and order that he be remanded in custody.

Opposition Titans Unite Under ADC to Challenge Tinubu in 2027

-

In a stunning political realignment, Nigeria’s major opposition figures have joined forces under the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ahead of the 2027 presidential elections. The new coalition aims to present a unified front against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), signaling a major shift in the nation’s political landscape.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi of the Labour Party, Rotimi Amaechi, Abubakar Malami, Kabiru Gaya, and Rabiu Kwankwaso are among the political heavyweights who have formally declared allegiance to the ADC. In a press conference on Tuesday, the group emphasized that the move is a response to Nigeria’s worsening economy, insecurity, and governance challenges under the APC-led administration.

To strengthen their political machinery, the coalition appointed Senator David Mark as Pro Tem National Chairman, while Rauf Aregbesola, former Osun State governor, was named Pro Tem Secretary. Both men are respected political veterans with deep experience in governance and party management.

The new ADC-led coalition promises to prioritize national unity, economic stability, youth empowerment, and improved security. Insiders reveal that talks are ongoing to agree on a consensus presidential candidate to avoid the vote-splitting that marred the 2023 elections.

This unexpected alliance could reshape the 2027 electoral battlefield. Many analysts believe that if the coalition remains united, it stands a real chance of unseating the APC, especially amid growing public frustration over inflation, high unemployment, and fuel subsidy complications.

However, critics warn that such coalitions often face internal rivalries and ego clashes. Whether these influential figures can truly set aside personal ambitions for the greater political good remains to be seen.

For now, Nigerians watch closely as this new opposition force gathers momentum. 2027 may prove to be one of the most fiercely contested elections in Nigeria’s democratic history.

In a powerful call to action, the United Nations has urged Nigeria’s private sector to step up and fill the growing funding gap threatening the nation’s development goals. The plea was made by Mohamed Malick Fall, the UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Nigeria, during a high-level dialogue on financing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) held in Lagos. With international aid shrinking and global economic pressures mounting, Fall emphasized the need for a strategic shift in how Nigeria finances its development. He stated that the country must no longer rely solely on government resources or international donor support. Instead, private investors, corporate bodies, and philanthropists must take a more proactive role in driving sustainable growth. The UN official described Nigeria as a country full of potential, rich in human and natural resources. However, he stressed that to unlock this potential, there must be a collaborative partnership between government, the private...

The Nassarawa orphanage home in Kano is a refuge for abandoned children, many of whom have been found on the streets, lost due to the tragic loss of their parents or left behind after accidents.

As they grow up, the boys often find work in government positions or venture into entrepreneurship, while the girls are generally married off to suitors interested in them.
