Consequently, Sunday, August 24, 2025, will complete the 30th day of Safar, making Monday the official start of Rabi’ul Awwal 1447 AH.
Meanwhile, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has criticized a proposed bill in the Senate seeking to designate the Ooni of Ife and the Sultan of Sokoto as permanent co-chairmen of the National Council of Traditional Rulers of Nigeria. The group warned that such legislation marginalizes other ethnic nationalities and undermines the principles of fairness and equity.
In a statement issued on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Ezechi Chukwu, Ohanaeze described the bill—which has already passed its second reading—as discriminatory, ethnocentric, and unjust. The organization said it was “astounded” by the rationale behind the proposal, accusing the Senate of disregarding the principles of justice, equity, and federal character as enshrined in the Nigerian Constitution.

THE ₦400 MILLION TRAIL: Police Expose How PFIPC DG Adeyemi Blew Massive Funds!
A comprehensive Nigeria Police Force (NPF) investigation report, finalized on July 24, 2026, has revealed that Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi, the alleged operator of the non-existent Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), misused approximately ₦400 million on personal expenses. Contrary to Adeyemi’s claims that this sum was a facilitation fee to secure a government appointment through Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila, police found no evidence of such a transaction. Instead, forensic analysis confirmed forgery of appointment letters and other official documents, with financial records showing the funds were spent on luxury items, vehicles, and relatives. Further compounding his financial situation, Adeyemi allegedly secured an additional ₦100 million loan to maintain his high-end lifestyle.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The investigation also uncovered severe lapses in due diligence across several government bodies, which allowed the fraudulent council to gain official recognition. Five senior public officials—including directors in the offices of the Accountant-General and Head of Service, and staff from the Budget Office and Ministry of Budget—have been identified as having facilitated Adeyemi’s access to government processes. The NPF has recommended the prosecution of these officials, subject to legal counsel, alongside the interrogation of 22 other individuals connected to the case. The findings have been forwarded to the Attorney-General of the Federation and other relevant security and government agencies.

Charly Boy made the disclosure during an interview with News Central TV on Friday, while discussing his childhood, family history and personal experiences contained in his memoir.

He said the circumstances surrounding his birth became one of the stories that shaped how he later viewed his family history.
He further revealed that after his birth, his mother had three more boys.
However, none of the three children survived.
While reflecting on the deaths, Charly Boy described himself as having a connection to the unfortunate events, saying he believed he had killed the three boys.
The social commentator said: “My mother had three other boys after me, but I think that I killed all of them. I would say I am responsible for their deaths. My mother carried me for about 11 months before I was born. She refused to undergo a Caesarean section because she wanted to deliver me naturally.
“The circumstances surrounding my birth were difficult for my mother, and my childhood and family experiences played a major role in shaping who I became. There are many personal stories about my life that people do not know, and I documented some of these experiences in my memoir, 999. The memoir tells my story from my own perspective and covers different stages of my life.”
