By Desmond Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has said he would restore petrol subsidy if elected president in 2027, arguing that the major problem with the policy was not the idea of subsidy itself but the corruption surrounding its implementation. Obi made the clarification during a recent interview with the BBC, where he addressed his position on petrol subsidy and his plans to tackle corruption in government. He insisted that his position had been misunderstood and maintained that corruption had always been central to his argument. “From day one, I’ve talked about subsidy.

Image
By Desmond A Nigerian man, Francis Ushie, has recounted a painful family experience, alleging that his wife blocked him after relocating to Canada with their four children, leaving him unable to locate or communicate with his family. Ushie, a former banker, shared his story during an interview published on YouTube by The Rest of Us. According to his account, he had hoped that moving to Canada would provide a fresh start for his family and possibly help resolve existing challenges in his marriage. He said that after the family’s Canadian permanent residency permits were approved, he resigned from his banking job in preparation for the relocation. However, his wife and four children travelled ahead of him because his former employer needed to complete an audit of his position.

However, he alleged...

By Desmond Reverend Isaac Omolehin, founder of Word Assembly Ministries in Ilorin, Kwara State, has hit back at critics who have attacked his views on Christianity and church denominations, describing some of them as “small boys” compared with the length of his preaching ministry.
