  "We Lost a Goat and Two Chickens, Not Human Lives” — Nkemba Residents Debunk Flood Death Reports …commend Gov Eno for prompt emergency response  Residents of the Nkemba Street axis in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, one of the communities benefiting from the flood intervention by the government have dismissed reports circulating in some national newspapers and online platforms claiming that two people died during the flash floods caused by the recent torrential rainfall in the State capital.  The residents made the clarification during the monitoring of an ongoing desilting exercise on the Nkemba by the Akwa Ibom State Ministry of Environment in collaboration with the Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP). Some national dailies, notably The Leadership Newspaper, had reported the killing of two persons in the flood disaster at Nkemba Street.  But speaking on behalf of the community, the Youth President of Iboko Offot, Mr. Francis Jumbo, described the repor...

  'Indigenous Bishop or Nothing': Anglican Faithful Protest in Uyo Tension is mounting in Uyo ahead of the episcopal election of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) scheduled for Wednesday, July 15, 2026, as indigenous Anglican faithful under the umbrella of Mboho Ndito Akwa Ibom (MNAI) intensified their call for the election of an Akwa Ibom indigene as Bishop.

  By Ifiokabasi Abia  As political conversations around the 2027 governorship elections gather momentum across Nigeria, a prominent cleric, Prophet Ekong Ituen, has stirred fresh debate with a bold spiritual declaration — claiming divine insight into the outcome of several key races. Speaking with a tone of conviction and urgency, the prophet revealed that God has shown him the names of 20 individuals who will emerge victorious in their respective states. While he did not disclose the identities, his message carried a strong appeal for calm, unity, and spiritual reflection among Nigerians. He cautioned citizens against inflammatory statements capable of deepening divisions in an already sensitive political climate. According to him, power ultimately rests in the hands of God, who alone determines the destiny of leaders and nations. “Whatever anyone becomes in life is exclusively in the hands of God,” he stressed, urging Nigerians to embrace humility and restraint as the politi...

In a development that underscores the intensifying power struggle within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), a Federal High Court in Abuja has issued a ruling barring the Makinde–Iniemeobong–Kabiru Turaki-led faction from accessing the party’s national secretariat. The decision, delivered with a firm tone by Justice Joyce Abdulmalik, effectively tilts the balance in favor of members loyal to Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory. The courtroom verdict has sent ripples through the party’s ranks, heightening emotions among supporters on both sides as they grapple with the implications of yet another twist in the ongoing leadership tussle. For many within the PDP, the ruling is more than a legal decision — it is a defining moment that could shape the future direction of the party, intensifying internal divisions while raising fresh questions about unity, loyalty, and the road ahead.
