• MUTFWANG ORDERS IMMEDIATE HALT TO HISBAH ACTIVITIES IN JOS NORTH  Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has directed the immediate suspension of activities by a group reportedly operating under the name Hisbah in parts of Jos North Local Government Area.  The governor described the group’s activities as illegal, unauthorised and unacceptable, stressing that no organisation has the right to operate as a law-enforcement or security body without proper approval from the relevant authorities.  Governor Mutfwang’s directive comes amid reports of the group carrying out activities in parts of Jos North under the Hisbah name.  The state government is expected to take steps to ensure that the directive is enforced and that unauthorised groups do not engage in activities capable of threatening public order or creating tension within communities.  The governor reaffirmed the responsibility of recognised security agencies to maintain law and order across Plateau State.  He also warned individuals and groups against taking the law into their own hands, stressing the need for all residents and organisations to operate within the framework of existing laws.  The directive is expected to bring an immediate halt to the reported activities of the group in Jos North while authorities continue to monitor the situation.
  • JAMB EXTENDS DEADLINE FOR CANDIDATES WITH OUTSTANDING ADMISSION OFFERS  The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has extended the deadline for candidates with outstanding admission offers from 2021 to date to either accept or reject the offers.  The new deadline is Wednesday, September 30, 2026, replacing the earlier deadline of August 31.  JAMB’s Acting Director of Public Affairs and Protocol, Dr Fabian Benjamin, said the extension provides affected candidates with a final opportunity to regularise their admission status.  The extension covers outstanding regular and CUIIA admission offers that candidates have not yet accepted or rejected.  The Board advised all affected candidates to take action before the new deadline, warning that there will be no further extension after September 30.  JAMB also clarified that candidates who are no longer studying at the institution where they received a previous admission, or who are currently enrolled in a different programme, may accept the outstanding admission and subsequently apply for the appropriate correction or deletion.  Candidates who have already secured admission during the 2026 admission exercise but still have an earlier outstanding offer were also advised not to worry. They may reject the previous offer, and JAMB said this will have no adverse effect on their 2026 admission.  The Board warned that any outstanding admission offer from 2021 to date that remains neither accepted nor rejected by September 30, 2026, will automatically revert to “Not Admitted” status on its records.  JAMB therefore urged all affected candidates to act immediately and not wait until the final day.  The September 30 deadline is final, with no further extension expected.
  • 🇺🇸🇳🇬 US TO WITHDRAW ABOUT 200 TROOPS FROM NIGERIA BY SEPTEMBER  The United States is preparing to withdraw about 200 military personnel from Nigeria by late September, according to reports citing US military officials.  Smaller teams of American trainers and intelligence personnel are expected to remain in Nigeria as Washington continues its security partnership with the country.  The US deployment, which began earlier this year, focused on intelligence, surveillance, training and counterterrorism support.  US Africa Command Commander, Gen. Dagvin Anderson, said many American troops had already been withdrawn following a May operation in the Lake Chad Basin that killed Abu Bilal al-Minuki, described by US officials as a senior Islamic State leader.  Anderson said the operation significantly weakened ISIS leadership and stressed that intelligence cooperation with Nigeria would continue.  The Pentagon has described the deployment as a model for supporting African partners through a limited military footprint rather than a large permanent presence.  The planned withdrawal therefore does not mean an end to US-Nigeria security cooperation, as Washington is expected to maintain intelligence and training support.  #USNigeria #Nigeria #USMilitary #Security #CounterTerrorism #LakeChad #AFRICOM #Terrorism #NigeriaNews #BreakingNews #Morganable
  • Bangladesh is considering joining the Mecca Pact, a defence agreement involving Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and Pakistan.  The move could reshape Dhaka’s foreign relations, particularly with neighbouring India, as Bangladesh seeks to strengthen its security ties with key Muslim-majority countries.  However, Bangladesh has not made a final decision on joining the pact.
  • Catastrophic flash flood has swept through communities along the Nepal-Tibet border, killing dozens of people and leaving hundreds missing.  The disaster struck after a massive ice-and-rock avalanche from a glacier collapsed into the Lhende River in Nepal’s Rasuwa district, triggering a powerful surge of water and debris downstream.  A magnitude 4.4 earthquake was recorded in the region shortly before the flood, raising questions over whether the tremor contributed to the glacier collapse. However, authorities say investigations are still ongoing and the exact trigger has not been conclusively established.  The flood destroyed homes, roads, bridges and other infrastructure, while several hydropower projects were also affected.  Rescue operations are underway in both Nepal and Tibet, but damaged roads and difficult mountainous terrain are hampering efforts to reach affected communities.  Authorities are continuing to search for missing people and assess the scale of the destruction.
  • THE MUSIC WORLD MOURNS A LEGEND  DOLLY PARTON DIES AT 80  American singer, songwriter, actress, businesswoman and philanthropist Dolly Parton has died at the age of 80.  The legendary country music icon died peacefully in Nashville, Tennessee, on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, her family confirmed.  Parton leaves behind a remarkable six-decade legacy in music, film, business and philanthropy. She was celebrated worldwide for timeless songs including “Jolene,” “9 to 5” and “I Will Always Love You.”  Beyond entertainment, she was widely admired for her humanitarian work, particularly her Imagination Library literacy programme, which has provided millions of books to children.  Her death marks the passing of one of the most influential and beloved figures in American music and popular culture.  Dolly Parton was 80.
  • Naja’atu Muhammad Denies Sending Delegation to Apologise to Pantami
Hajiya Naja’atu Muhammad has denied reports that she sent a delegation to Gombe State to apologize to former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Professor Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, over remarks she previously made about him.  The reports had suggested that Naja’atu Muhammad had taken steps to reconcile with the former minister by sending representatives to Gombe to convey an apology over comments she had earlier made concerning Pantami.  However, she has rejected the claim, describing the report as inaccurate and stressing that she did not authorized any delegation to visit Professor Pantami for such a purpose.  The development comes amid continued public interest in the previous remarks attributed to Naja’atu Muhammad and their implications, particularly given Professor Pantami’s prominent position in Nigeria’s political and public affairs.  Naja’atu’s denial therefore seeks to clarify the circumstances surrounding the alleged meeting and to distance herself from reports suggesting that she had initiated an apology through intermediaries.  She maintained that members of the public should not rely on unverified reports concerning the matter, urging them to distinguish between confirmed information and claims circulating through informal channels.  Professor Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, a former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, remains a prominent figure in Nigeria’s public discourse, particularly on issues relating to technology, digital transformation, governance and national development.
The alleged delegation to Gombe had generated attention because of the personalities involved and the suggestion that it represented an attempt to resolve differences arising from Naja’atu Muhammad’s earlier comments.  With her latest clarification, however, Naja’atu has disputed the account that she sought to apologize to the former minister through representatives.  The controversy underscores the importance of verifying reports involving prominent public figures before they are circulated, particularly where claims of apologies, reconciliations or political engagements are concerned.
  • Tinubu Campaign Team Donates ₦600 Million to JIBWIS National Headquarters for Fortune University Project  The campaign team of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has donated ₦600 million to the National Headquarters of the Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’ah Wa’iqamatis Sunnah (JIBWIS) in Jos to support the development of Fortune University, a university project being undertaken by the organisation.  The donation was announced during the JIBWIS National Meeting held in Jos on Sunday, where prominent political leaders and other senior personalities were in attendance.  Among those present at the gathering was Senator Barau I. Jibrin, Deputy President of the Nigerian Senate, alongside the governors of Kano, Jigawa and Kebbi states, as well as other senior government officials and dignitaries.  The financial support is intended to contribute to the development of the university project at the JIBWIS National Headquarters in Jos, which the organisation has identified as part of its efforts to expand educational opportunities.  The presentation formed part of the activities surrounding the national meeting, which brought together JIBWIS leadership, scholars, political figures and other stakeholders.  The donation also highlights the growing engagement between political actors and religious organisations in supporting educational and community-development initiatives.  Fortune University, being developed under the auspices of JIBWIS, is expected to become an important educational institution in Jos upon completion.  #Jibwis #Sheikhjingir #Izala #Jibwisnationalheadquarters

abuja —

The entertainment industry eagerly welcomes “The Return of Omotara Johnson” as the most buzzed-about movie release of the month. Millions of excited fans across the nation continuously discuss this monumental cinematic event on social media.

Moviegoers desperately counted down the days until the film finally hit the silver screen. Consequently, this explosive wave of anticipation completely dominates mainstream entertainment headlines today.


The July Launch Reclaims the Box Office

The visionary production team strategically launched this highly anticipated cinematic masterpiece in nationwide theaters on July 10. Audiences immediately swarmed local cinemas to witness this beautiful story unfold in high definition.

This perfectly timed mid-year release date successfully captures the peak holiday crowd. Ultimately, this brilliant scheduling choice ensures record-breaking ticket sales for the franchise.


Deconstructing a Modern Classic Sequel

This spectacular movie serves as the highly anticipated sequel to the deeply beloved early 2000s classic film. The original production captured the hearts of an entire generation of African movie lovers decades ago.

Now, modern writers beautifully expand that nostalgic universe for contemporary audiences to enjoy. Therefore, this fresh storyline expertly bridges the gap between past and present cinema.


Adeoluwa Owu Directs the Vision
The brilliant filmmaker Adeoluwa Owu masterfully directs this emotionally charged, high-stakes cinematic continuation. He injects fresh visual aesthetics while carefully preserving the core essence of the original story.

His meticulous attention to detail elevates every single dramatic scene to cinematic perfection. As a result, critics heavily praise his distinct and mature directorial style.


An Absolutely Stacked Ensemble Cast

The legendary Bukky Wright delivers an incredibly powerful, nuanced performance as she steps back into her iconic role. She instantly commands total authority on screen with her timeless acting prowess and elegant style.

Her captivating dialogue delivery reminds viewers why she dominates the industry for decades. Thus, her magnificent presence anchors the deepest emotional core of the film.


Shaffy Bello Brings Pure Sophistication

Simultaneously, the brilliant Shaffy Bello injects immense sophistication and intense corporate drama into this theatrical production. She effortlessly portrays a fierce, calculating character who fiercely protects her family’s massive empire.

Her exceptional vocal range and sharp expressions captivate the audience during every single appearance. Consequently, she elevates the tension to unprecedented heights.


Nse Ikpe-Etim Delivers Artistic Brilliance
Furthermore, the incomparable Nse Ikpe-Etim brings unmatched artistic depth to her highly complex, layered character role. She masterfully navigates deep emotional trauma and silent grief with absolute creative precision.

Her gripping performances leave viewers completely breathless inside crowded theater halls. Therefore, she solidifies her status as one of Africa’s finest screen icons.


Richard Mofe-Damijo Adds Legendary Star Power
In addition, the iconic Richard Mofe-Damijo brings his legendary charm and massive star power to this elite cast. He plays a powerful patriarch who handles severe internal family conflicts with ultimate grace.

His undeniable chemistry with the leading ladies creates truly unforgettable cinematic moments. Indeed, his brilliant contribution guarantees a highly memorable viewing experience.


Timini Egbuson Represents the New School

Finally, the immensely popular Timini Egbuson brilliantly represents the vibrant energy of the new school of Nollywood. He portrays a reckless, ambitious young heir who constantly challenges old traditional family rules.

His dynamic performance perfectly balances the heavy dramatic weight of the older veteran actors. Ultimately, this stellar combination of talent creates an absolute acting masterclass.


Unearthing Secret Imperial Dramas
The intense screenplay fiercely explores the complex lives of elite characters who hide dark, destructive secrets. The sudden reappearance of Omotara Johnson instantly triggers a massive wave of shocking revelations in the city.

Decades of carefully hidden lies rapidly crumble before the characters’ eyes during tense family meetings. Certainly, these spectacular discoveries completely shatter the high-society peace.


The Agonizing Path to Freedom
Moreover, the gripping narrative shows how these uncovered truths force characters to confront their deepest personal failures. They must openly negotiate peace terms with old enemies whom they previously betrayed entirely.

This painful process creates immense screen friction but eventually paves a clear way for genuine healing. In conclusion, the film teaches a beautiful lesson about the power of redemption.


Navigating the Competitive Modern Market

The contemporary Nigerian film landscape historically suffered from quick, low-budget sequels that lacked deep artistic substance. Today, however, this specific production fiercely demonstrates the immense power of premium, long-term cinematic investment.

The producers utilize world-class cameras, pristine sound engineering, and luxurious set designs. They prove that modern African audiences deserve world-class execution.


Conquering the Global Box Office
Digital marketing algorithms actively amplify this massive theatrical release to millions of international viewers worldwide. Creative promotional teams distribute exclusive behind-the-scenes footage to engage tech-savvy younger demographics.

Global streaming giants already fight to secure exclusive digital broadcasting rights for the film. Therefore, this project successfully expands the global footprint of local storytelling.


The Bright Future of the Franchise

The long-term legacy of this movie relies heavily on inspiring a new wave of African filmmakers. Aspiring directors closely study the flawless narrative pacing of Adeoluwa Owu today.

They learn to commercialize nostalgic intellectual properties without sacrificing artistic integrity or cultural authenticity. This vital shift ensures that classic African stories remain highly profitable.


A Phenomenal New Standard Wins
“The Return of Omotara Johnson” represents much more than a temporary trend in modern African cinema. It serves as a brilliant, lasting blueprint for the future of global dramatic storytelling.

It proves that deep nostalgia and modern cinematic techniques can coexist beautifully on screen. Moving forward, the global market will undoubtedly witness even bolder blockbuster masterpieces.
