Folarin Falana, the Nigerian rapper, who is popularly known as Falz, has reacted to a fan who encouraged him to get married.

The fan shared the advice through a message, which Falz reposted on his Instagram story on Sunday.

Falz explained that he was not offended by the suggestion.

He pointed out that marriage is widely appreciated in Nigeria and acknowledged that, as an entertainer, aspects of his personal life often become part of his audience’s enjoyment.

The activist added a playful remark about possibly experimenting with marriage to see how it would go.

He said: “It’s not your fault, I am the one who chose to be an entertainer, that means my life is your entertainment.

"I should just do a quick matrimonial experiment, let’s just see. I appreciate your suggestion.”

In 2025, Falz stated that he may choose not to announce his marriage publicly.

His announcement followed recent confusion over a set of photos that were mistaken for a traditional marriage introduction.

The images, which sparked widespread speculation, were later confirmed to be part of a marriage-themed photoshoot, not an actual wedding.

The initial posts drew both praise and criticism, with some fans accusing Falz of misleading the public.

In response, he clarified that assumptions about his personal life are often premature and that he might prefer to keep such milestones private.

He added that even if he does decide to marry, sharing it with the world is not guaranteed.

The Presidency has hit back at allegations linking President Bola Tinubu to the internal turmoil surrounding Peter Obi and the African Democratic Congress (ADC), calling the claims "baseless" and "unfounded." 

He also urged Obi and other stakeholders to resolve internal disputes within the party. “Let them go and settle with Nafiu Gombe and other disenchanted ADC members. As of now, Obi, without being made a candidate, is inconsequential for 2027,” Onanuga stated. He added that Obi’s performance in the 2023 presidential election does not guarantee a similar outcome in the future. “The fact that he came third in 2023 does not mean he will have the same showing in 2027, if he ever becomes a candidate of any party. 2023 is not like 2027. President Tinubu is an incumbent with many achievements to flaunt, most of which Obi has been blind to acknowledge,” he said.

A reprisal attack has left two people de@d, including an NYSC member, following an earlier assault on the Gari Ya Waye community in Angwan Rukuba, Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State.

The attack which occurred on Sunday, March 29, 2026, resulted in the d3ath of 30 people. 

In the aftermath of the shooting, some aggrieved residents reportedly attacked unsuspecting passersby on the Jos-Bauchi highway, resulting in the d3ath of two persons. 

The Corps member, Ibrahim Haruna, who recently got married, was set to complete his service on Tuesday, March 31. 

The situation created heightened tension in the area, with fears of further escalation.

The Plateau State Governor subsequently imposed an immediate 48-hour curfew to restore calm and prevent additional reprisal attacks.

With the 2027 general elections approaching, key leaders and voters across the Niger South senatorial district have officially backed Senator Muhammad Bima Enagi’s bid to return to office. This collective endorsement was announced by the Chairman of the stakeholders, Alhaji Mohammed Danjuma Adamu, following an urgent meeting held last weekend in the Mokwa Local Government Area. 

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State has sent a clear message to National Assembly hopefuls: an "endorsement" is not a free pass to the finish line.

The party’s State Working Committee directed all aspirants on Monday to hit the field and prove their political worth. State Publicity Secretary, Segun Dipe, in a statement in Ado Ekiti reiterated the party’s commitment to the positions of Governor Biodun Oyebanji and former governors Kayode Fayemi, Segun Oni and Adeniyi Adebayo, on National Assembly aspirations. 

There have been rumours of endorsement of one aspirant or the other as preferred candidates of the leaders, thus foreclosing direct primaries. Fayemi had at an Ekiti APC stakeholders’ meeting on Saturday urged party members to disregard such rumours of endorsement, saying there could not be consensus where a person is in disagreement. Fayemi had wondered why any elective office seeker, particularly some sitting National Assembly members from the state, could be afraid of facing other contenders in a primary election, but seeking consensus to get the party’s return ticket. 

Fayemi had urged all aspirants, especially the current elective office holders, to be ready to tell the people their achievements before relying on endorsements.

The APC, while saying it was in support of the stance of Oyebanji, Fayemi, Oni and Adebayo on the primaries for National Assembly positions, stressed that “while endorsements may come from some quarters, and it is politically recognised, it does not preclude any aspirant from testing his or her weight with party members in a fair and transparent process, as stipulated in Article 20 of the APC Constitution.”

Dipe stated, “Governor Oyebanji has maintained that he remains neutral, and no aspirant has been endorsed by him. Fayemi has also downplayed claims of endorsements, urging aspirants to focus on winning the hearts of the party members.

“Segun Oni and Adebayo have echoed similar sentiments, stressing the importance of respecting the party’s democratic processes.

“The APC in Ekiti State is committed to upholding the principles of internal democracy, as outlined in our Constitution, and ensuring that all aspirants have an equal opportunity to contest.

“While we do not rule out the possibility of a true consensus, we urge all contestants to respect the party’s constitution and guidelines, and to refrain from misrepresenting the positions of our leaders.

Nigerian singer and songwriter Timi Dakolo and his wife, Busola Dakolo, are joyfully celebrating their 14th wedding anniversary.

To mark the special occasion, Timi shared a series of heartfelt photos of himself and his wife in Paris, capturing moments of love, laughter, and togetherness.

In his post, he expressed deep gratitude to his wife for her unwavering support and patience, describing her as someone who manages him with love and grace.

“Happy Anniversary to us. Professor, Doctor, Pastor @busoladakolo. The girl wey… fill in the blanks. When a well-prepared Kogi stew comes into contact with Bayelsa Ya, maximum utility. Thank you for managing me. I know it takes a lot of love to love me, and you are doing an amazing job. It is beauty we are making,” he wrote.

On her own part, Busola stated that love lives with them, expressing gratitude to her Maker for being faithful. The mother of three prayed that God keep guiding and leading them in their journey.

“Love lives here. Happy wedding anniversary to us @timidakolo

"Indeed, God has been faithful. May HE continue to guide and lead us as we continue this journey in HIM”.

Fans and followers quickly flooded his social media with congratulatory messages, celebrating the enduring love and partnership of one of Nigeria’s most beloved celebrity couples.

The post highlights not only their romantic bond but also the playful, heartfelt chemistry that has kept their relationship strong over the years.

A senior member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has warned that the defection of former Kano State Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso could spell trouble for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections.

Eze described Kwankwaso as a thorough-bred, grassroots politician and crowd puller who believes in genuine democratic governance.

“By joining the ADC, Kwankwaso has dealt a heavy political uppercut blow to President Tinubu’s re-election bid. This defection, borne out of patriotism and the need to salvage the country from bad governance is a bad omen for Tinubu and his co-travellers.

“Tinubu’s errand boys lobbied, wished and prayed this defection never happened. But Kwankwaso knows the country is bleeding, the citizens are dieing, the living are in dire need of help and the only way to oust Tinubu and his unpopular government is through a coalition movement,” Eze said in a statement issued on Tuesday.

He commended Kwankwaso for joining the ADC, a party he said is on a mission to rescue Nigerians from a “clueless, nepotistic, wicked, undemocratic, and despotic government” led by President Tinubu.

Eze equally applauded Kwankwaso “for making the right decision to join the ADC, a party that parades most of Nigeria’s cerebral, strategic, popular and grassroots-oriented politicians as members”.

“By joining the likes of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar; erstwhile governor of Rivers State, Barr. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, former Labour Party Presidential candidate, Peter Obi; former Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal; former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, etc, Kwankwaso has further placed Tinubu on Aso Rock’s exit corridor,” Eze stated.

Eze, formerly the National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party, nPDP, held that voting out an incumbent in Nigeria is not by firing one silver bullet, warning against complacency.

“Tinubu has through his abysmal performance in this winding up four years, made it easier for ADC, as a viable alternative to take over the mantle of democratic governance in Nigeria. We must not falter.

“As a party on a mission to rescue Nigerians, the ADC cannot afford to waste this glaring opportunity. We must unite ahead of our primaries to face the APC head on. Nigerians have placed hope on ADC, we must rise to the challenge and not disappoint.

“The defection of His Excellency, Dr. Rabiu Kwankwaso to ADC is highly commendable. With the calibre of arrow heads in the party, no doubt, Nigerians believe ADC is a disciplined mix of coalition-builders, with credibility and electoral value,” Eze noted.

Recall that Kwankwaso, a former Minister of Defence, registered with the ADC and received his membership card at Gidan Kwankwasiyya, Miller Road, Bompai, Kano on Monday.

The Nigerian Senate has granted approval for President Bola Tinubu to secure external loans totaling $6 billion.

The approval is coming barely four hours after the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, read the letter from the President, seeking the approval.

The red chamber of the National Assembly approved the loans after the presentation and consideration of a report by the Senator Aliyu Wamakko-led Committee on Local and Foreign Debts.

Earlier, Tori News had reported earlier that President Tinubu’s latest loan request was contained in two separate letters addressed to the President of the Senate, which were read during plenary on Tuesday.

In the first letter, Tinubu requested the approval to establish a structured total return swap (TRS) external financing programme of up to $5 billion with First Abu Dhabi Bank of the United Arab Emirates.

The President, in the second letter, also asked the Senate to approve a $1 billion UK export finance loan facility arranged by Citibank, London branch.

He said that the loan would be used for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the Lagos Port Complex and Tin Can Island Port.
