  Bandits Invade Kogi School, Abduct Principal, NECO Supervisor, Students. Suspected bandits have attacked Government Secondary School, Opada-Olowa in Dekina Local Government Area of Kogi State, abducting the school principal, a National Examinations Council (NECO) supervisor, and four students. The attack reportedly occurred around 2 p.m, on Tuesday, while students were sitting for the examination. Residents said the heavily armed assailants stormed the community, firing sporadically to scare people before invading the school. A community leader, Sunday Alkali, said residents were relaxing under trees when the gunmen suddenly appeared. “The gunmen seemed surprised to see many people outside at that time of the day and initially retreated. They later returned, shooting indiscriminately, forcing everyone to flee for safety,” he said. According to residents, it was only after the gunfire subsided that they discovered the school had been attacked. Visit:  https://dailytrust.com/b...

Delta business man gifts barber N5M after chance encounter

  Delta business man gifts barber N5M after chance encounter  A billionaire businessman, oil magnate, and philanthropist from Delta State, Chief Dr. Daniel Omoyibo (Danmotech), went out casually to have his hair barbered at a saloon with two barbers.  When he explained the haircut to the first barber, he was charged 5k and he priced it at 2k which he believed to be the appropriate price. The first barber insisted on the price he gave and the man was about to leave when the other barber called him back saying 'It was still morning'. He agreed to the price.  While the man had his haircut, they interacted, and he got to know that he is from Kogi and working for the shop owner. When asked how much will set up his own barbing saloon, he mentioned 2-3million naira. Danmotech sent him 5million naira immediately and asked him to set himself up. He also exchanged numbers with him for further assistance. The man was really emotional and couldn't believe it.  Blessings com...

The Battle of Imagbon (1892): How the Ijebu Kingdom Fought for Its Sovereignty

  The Battle of Imagbon (1892): How the Ijebu Kingdom Fought for Its Sovereignty The Battle of Imagbon, also known as the Anglo-Ijebu War of 1892, remains one of the most defining moments in the history of the Ijebu Kingdom. It was more than a military confrontation—it was a determined stand against colonial domination and a bold defense of a people’s independence, culture, and right to govern themselves. The conflict began after British colonial authorities in Lagos demanded unrestricted access through Ijebu territory to expand trade into Nigeria’s interior and allow Christian missionaries to travel freely. The Awujale and the Ijebu leadership rejected these demands, viewing them as a direct threat to their sovereignty and economic independence. In response, Britain launched a military expedition led by Colonel F.C. Scott. Equipped with modern artillery, Maxim guns, rockets, and well-trained troops drawn from different colonial forces, the British advanced from Epe through stra...

David Oyedepo, presiding bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, has asked members of the church to obtain their voter cards and participate in the electoral process as responsible citizens. Speaking on Sunday during the church’s service at the Faith Tabernacle in Ota, Ogun state, Oyedepo said Christians have a civic responsibility to participate in deciding who governs their countries. “We have a civic responsibility as responsible citizens of our various nations. This church is today in 144 nations,” the cleric said. “So, endeavour to secure your voter cards. You are men and women of the spirit.
