  Priscilla Ojo, daughter of Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, has returned to Tanzania with her newborn son, Rakeem Mkambala, where her husband, Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, gave them a grand welcome. The homecoming coincided with the day Rakeem turned one month old. In a series of videos shared on Wednesday by a popular fan page, the_prisjuxsourcee, Juma Jux was seen warmly receiving his wife and son at the airport with fresh flowers and gifts. Upon their arrival home, Priscilla was surprised with an elaborate blue-themed welcome party featuring balloons, framed photos, and a banner reading “Welcome Home Mommy and Rakeem.” A large standee spelling “RAKEEM” completed the décor. Iyabo joined the celebration and playfully teased her son-in-law. “Juma, you are so extra. What happened? Rakeem is actually one month old,” she said. Juma proudly replied, “My son. Yes. My first son.”

“Editors and media gatekeepers are strongly advised to verify with the Atiku Media Office before publication,” the statement added. It was widely reported on Wednesday that Atiku has assured people of the South-West geo-political zone that their interest would remain central to his policy direction if elected President in 2027, noting that his long-standing marital and cultural ties to the region make him family. The report quoted a statement by one, Kola Johnson, as saying that the former Vice President spoke during an engagement with select stakeholders. The report said Atiku described the people of the South-West as one of the finest species of the human race, noting that his marriage to a Yoruba woman in the 1970s forged a permanent bond between him and the Yorubas. He dismissed fears of Hausa/Fulani domination under his leadership as unfounded, insisting that the Yoruba were his larger extended family and in-laws.

And this is something that we should all celebrate.”Explaining the impact of recent reforms, the BUA chairman noted that businesses no longer rely solely on the Central Bank of Nigeria for foreign exchange, as many are now able to source FX independently through credit cards and international banking channels. “So really, for all of th...

2027: Atiku disowns media consultant, says statement on Yoruba fake

Image
  The 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party and a former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has denied any association with a media consultant named Kola Johnson. This is as he also rejected statements released by the media consultant on Wednesday that he would protect Yoruba interests if elected as president in 2027. Atiku, in a statement issued on Thursday by his Media Adviser, Paul Ibe, alleged that “faceless mercenaries” are behind the false press statement just to discredit him. He also dismissed the claim as “false and offensive,” describing it as part of a calculated propaganda project to ridicule him in the media. The statement specifically mentioned one Kola Johnson, described as a “self-styled media consultant,” who allegedly released a publication claiming that an Atiku administration would be dominated by a single ethnic group. The statement read, “Our findings point directly to the Presidency, which, in its desperation to smear opposition leaders, ha...
