  Again, the prophecy of Primate Elijah Ayodele on IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu has come to pass. All hope for the embattled activist to get freedom was quashed two days ago as the Supreme Court denied the Appeal court judgment that granted him bail and declared that he should face trial. This led to so much outage among his followers who were expecting him to be released by the Supreme Court. However, before this happened, Nigerian prophet, Primate Ayodele had said in 2022 that Nnamdi Kanu will not find it easy at all. The prophet categorically stated that the government isn’t ready to release him for one second and that there will still be tough times for him. These were his words “Nnamdi Kanu will not find it so easy as well. He should still expect a tough time because the government is not ready to free him for one second. He needs to be very prayerful and watchful this time around. The government does not have any plans to kill either Igboho or Kanu.’’ As the prophet revealed, the act

  By Ariyo Awonuga The Governor of Ondo state, Rotimi Akeredolu has been on sick bed for some months now. Earlier this year, he spent three months in Germany to seek medical attention but still didn’t get better when he returned. On arrival, He landed in Oyo state and hasn’t been able to step foot into Ondo state or his office ever since. His health has reportedly deteriorated to a level where he can’t sign any document again and now, he has been flown abroad again to seek medical attention. With the situation of things, it’s obvious the state and family of the governor have tried every possible means to revive Akeredolu but it doesn’t seem to work out as planned. While it is not out of place to continue seeking medical solutions, it is important to tell everyone that cares to listen that other means should be tried in order to save the life of the ailing governor.

  In the late hours of yesterday, an unusual event happened in Lagos; a heavy duty truck collapsed a pedestrian bridge in Alapere area of the state.
