A report has surfaced on social media alleging that the Finnish government is planning to sue the Nigerian government under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu.....Read Full Article>>

The reported lawsuit pertains to accusations against Simon Ekpa, the self- proclaimed Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government in Exile (BRGIE).

The claim, which has sparked widespread reactions online, was cited by the LATEST_NEWS Blog on X (formerly Twitter). According to the post, it is alleged that Finland intends to sue Nigeria at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for falsely accusing Ekpa of terrorism and for alleged atrocities committed against humanity.

The viral statement reads: ” BREAKING NEWS. FINLAND TO SUE NIGERIA IN THE INT’ L COURT OF JUSTICE FOR WRONGLY ACCUSING THEIR HIGH- PROFILE CITIZEN OF TERRORISM AND ALSO ON THE INJUSTICE AND ATROCITIES COMMITTED AGAINST HUMANITY. The table is getting set. ”

A thorough review of Finnish government media platforms and official statements reveals no confirmation of such legal action. No Finnish official or agency has issued a statement supporting the viral claim.

This suggests that the report may have been fabricated, possibly to garner sympathy or attention for Simon Ekpa, who remains in custody.

Simon Ekpa, a dual Nigerian- Finnish citizen, was arrested on November 21, 2024, by Finnish authorities. The charges include allegations of terrorism, promoting economic instability, and orchestrating security breaches in Nigeria’ s southeastern region. Following his arrest, Ekpa was remanded in custody by a Finnish court.

The court also announced that his trial would commence in May 2025, ruling out the possibility of bail due to Finland’ s judicial system regulations.
Since his arrest, Ekpa’ s supporters have engaged in efforts to dispute the narrative of his detention.

Some have circulated old videos, falsely claiming that he continues to participate in BRGIE activities. These attempts appear to be aimed at undermining the credibility of the charges and creating an alternative narrative around his case.

Barely 48 hours after the purported declaration of the United States of Biafra (USB) by certain Igbo individuals in Finland, a South- Eastern Nigerian man has publicly renounced his Nigerian citizenship.....Read Full Article>>

In a viral post shared on X (formerly Twitter) and cited by the LATEST_NEWS Blog, a user identified as @ChinoOnuh tore his Nigerian international passport in a dramatic show of defiance.

He openly denounced his ties to Nigeria, warning against being referred to as a Nigerian. In his post, @ChinoOnuh vehemently declared:” If u ever call me a Nigeria… Ekwesu kpo gi oku… It will never be well with you. ” This development follows escalating tensions surrounding the Biafra independence movement, which gained renewed attention in recent weeks.

Simon Ekpa, a self- proclaimed Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government in Exile, had earlier announced that Biafra independence would be declared on December 2, 2024. However, days before the scheduled declaration, Ekpa was arrested by Finnish authorities on charges of terrorism, economic sabotage, and security breaches linked to the unrest in Nigeria’ s southeast region.

Ekpa’ s arrest on November 21st led to an immediate court ruling in Finland, where he was denied bail and sent to prison. Reports suggest he may remain in custody throughout the festive season and into the new year.

Meanwhile, the actions of @ChinoOnuh and others denouncing Nigerian citizenship highlight the deep divisions and frustrations among parts of the Igbo population. The controversy surrounding Simon Ekpa, the USB declaration, and its implications for Nigeria’ s unity continues to unfold, raising questions about the future of the South- Eastern region.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has announced a new price for Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), which will affect marketers looking to source fuel from its refineries.....Read Full Article>>

This latest adjustment is expected to lead pump prices down at filling stations just in time for the festive season, benefiting consumers who are likely to travel more during this period. ”

As reported by the Petroleum Products Retail Outlet Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN), NNPCL has decreased the price of PMS from N1, 045 per litre to N1, 030 per litre for marketers.” Billy Harry, the National President of PETROAN, made this announcement during a strategic meeting and award ceremony held in Abuja.

He conveyed optimism regarding the new pricing, stating, ” Today, NNPCL has reduced their price to N1, 030.”

Despite this reduction, he noted that marketers are continuing to press the state- owned firm to lower prices further, expressing hope that additional cuts may be forthcoming.

Notably, the price set by NNPCL remains higher than that offered by Dangote Refinery, which recently cut its petrol price to N970 per litre.

This price disparity highlights the competitive landscape within the fuel market. Harry emphasized that the competition generated by such pricing is likely to help reduce fuel costs in the long run, fostering a more favorable environment for consumers.

Furthermore, Harry pointed out that the pricing structure of NNPCL makes it advantageous for retail outlet owners, allowing them to purchase smaller quantities of fuel with greater ease.

He explained, ” We are very close to NNPC because we can go there, buy one product, sell it quickly, and then come back.

But if we have to buy two million litres, we must do so collectively. ” This flexibility could play a crucial role in ensuring that marketers can respond promptly to market demands and maintain competitive pricing for consumers.

As the festive season approaches, the impact of these pricing changes will be closely monitored by both marketers and consumers alike.

The chilling incident was uncovered by the Ogun State Police Command during a routine stop- and- search operation along Isoyin Road. DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, the State Police Public Relations Officer, disclosed the disturbing details of the crime.

I know I have done wrong, but I ask for forgiveness. This one just happened the way it did. ” He claimed to have assisted many people, including other pastors, in the past.

The native doctor’ s arrest sparked outrage and horror among the local community. Pastor Ezekiel Kalejaiye was a respected figure, and his brutal murder shocked those who knew him.

DSP Oyeyemi assured the public that thorough investigations were underway. He stated that Ogunkoya would face murder charges in court once the investigation was completed.

This tragic incident highlights the dangers of desperation and blind trust in unscrupulous individuals. The police have urged the public to be cautious and report any suspicious activities to prevent similar occurrences. Pastor Kalejaiye’ s death serves as a grim reminder of the consequences of engaging with deceitful practices in the pursuit of power or success.

Ada who shared her story on Wednesday, July 17, 2024, said the ‘prophecy’ came after one of the pastors allegedly invited her to Nekede and she declined. A Nigerian lady, Ada Seraphina Okoro, has spoken about how her relationship ended after her fiancé’s pastors said she wasn’t the one for him.....Read Full Article>>

In a lengthy Facebook post, she stated that she has embraced healing and forgiveness as she has decided to move on with her life. Ada who shared her story on Wednesday, July 17, 2024, said the ‘prophecy’ came after one of the pastors allegedly invited her to Nekede and she declined.

“Sharing my story without any grudge whatsoever and I do not want anyone to use the care button or pity me… I have healed and I have moved on,” she wrote.

”It will be in your best interest to learn from it and to not ask me personal questions aside what I’d drop here. No one fo.rced me to share this, I’m sharing this because I want to and for someone out there to learn too.

My last serious relationship ended because my fiancé pastors gave the order that I wasn’t the one for him… He met these pastors when he had financial issues and we resulted to prayers.

Mind you, this message came after the pastor visited Nekede and I was in IMSU then, asked me to come see him in Nekede and I declined.

That was when he did everything possible to end my relationship and he did. I never told my fiancé then about this until years later when he came to ask for forgiveness.

When this relationship ended, two things filled my heart, regret and fear. Regret for telling other men away. There’s one of my suitors then here, he’s my follower, this guy chased me for years even when he knew I was in a serious relationship but I declined because I was being loyal, like I said, it’s my curse, I can’t date more than one person

Today he’s married and if the tables were turned and if given the opportunity, he still love to get married to me… But what’s not meant to be is not meant to be, you can’t fo.rce it.

This breakfast really messed me with me and it was my late grandma and my ex fiancé neighbor that helped me through it in the major part of it all.. the neighbor, a married guy calls me everyday from Turkey just to know how I was and to always remind me that I was too good for him…

Truly, I am. Have you met me? I’m fvcking intelligent, ambitious and… Nah just Nigeria dey dull my shine.

The reason for his kindness was cus I was nice to him, whenever I was around and he’s hungry, he comes to the house then to ask me for food, he loves eating my food… Anytime I was at my fiancé place, his neighbors were always delighted cus they know that they will eat to their fill…

Before my ex fiancé left the country, he came to my store, announced to visit me and asked for forgiveness, I did forgive him.

It will shock you that he’s also a follower here.

Went for prayer after then and the first thing the pastor told me was… Let it go!.

I was confused I didn’t understand so I asked her, let what go? She said, all that h.ate, ange.r and regret, let it go… She said there’s someone that you are so angry with it, forgive him and be free…

Lord knows the only person I was angry at was my ex fiancé, omo I bursted into tears, nah so pastor console me, did therapy for me and we prayed…

Since that day till now, I see my experience in a different way. I have forgiven, let go, moved on…

It was not meant to be cus I also held our marriage from happening because I was waiting for something that he needed to be fix…

I told him that he must fix it if not, no marriage untill we fix it… Then the breakup happened.

I’m a kind woman, if you experience me, you’d understand but I’m not nice cus I’m also capable of fvcking you up if you mess up.

That said… If you are a woman that have something similar to my experience, I’d urge you to let go! It’s not easy but let go and be free like a bird like me…

If you are also in any relationship, make sure that the choices that you are making will favour you on the long run so you don’t regret.

As for me, I’d love to get Married, that is if I meet my kind of man, aside that, I’m not marrying

If marriage doesn’t come, I just want to have money and food an access to good life until my creator calls… I have kuku experience marriage without the papers so…

That said, henceforth, when I talk about my relationship in other to buttress my point, resist the urge to ask me sil.ly questions because most of you know nothing about these things…

It’s only to ask yeye logic questions, that’s all you know how to do… Anyways. I’m Ada, a strong, kind, beautiful woman

A mortuary technician has managed to make a whole lot of people shudder with her explanation of what happens to your organs after you di3.....Read Full Article>>

“During a postmortem examination, people seem to think that your organs are put back where nature intended,” a technician named Hayleigh, who goes by @themortuarytech on TikTok, revealed online.

“They’re not.” Hayleigh’s job as a mortuary involves working at a funeral home to prepare body parts and entire bodies for embalming, burial, or cremation. In a clip of her appearance on a recent podcast interview, the parts pro described in depth what morticians do with your insides.

“They’re all put in a clinical bag back inside your torso, and your chest cavity and your stomach/abdomen, and you’re sutured back up. So your brain’s not in your head,” she added.

Hayleigh explained the organs are not put back into the original location because once a part is cut out, you can’t just shove it back.

The mortuary worker’s explanation left the podcast hosts shocked.

“Oh my god. [That] really freaked me out a bit,” unveiled Billy. “Just thrown in like a goody bag.”

Many people online were spooked out by the revelation, wishing they didn’t know.

“I absolutely wish I didn’t know that,” confessed one person.

“Seems I’ve taken a terribly wrong turn somewhere along my TikTok journey,” commented a watcher.

“Whoever digs us up in 3,000 years are gonna question everything,” joked another.

What exactly goes on with bodies after we die has been in the news lately, with one prominent NYC funeral home chain facing fines and potential license revocation after a New York State Department of Health investigation, The Post reported earlier.

The Bronx-based R.G. Ortiz Funeral Homes is additionally accused of improperly caring for a body that allegedly languished for eight days inside a viewing room, according to an attorney suing the company on behalf of a devastated family.

“Eight days in the viewing room — unrefrigerated and unembalmed,” lawyer Phil Rizzuto told The Post. “I can’t imagine how. The body must have smelled, no?”

And just this week, the owners of a Colorado funeral home pleaded guilty to corpse abuse after being accused of piling 190 bodies inside a room temperature building and passing off dry concrete as the ashes of loved ones, the Associated Press reported
