Saint Lucia Confers Honorary Knighthood on President Tinubu
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been conferred with the honorary title of Knight Commander of the Order of Saint Lucia (KCOSL) during his official state visit to the Caribbean nation.
The honour was approved by the Governor General of Saint Lucia on the advice of Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre, according to a statement released by the Office of the Prime Minister.
“The Government of Saint Lucia is pleased to announce that, acting on the advice of the Prime Minister, the Governor General has conferred the title of Knight Commander of the Order of Saint Lucia (KCOSL) upon His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” the statement read.
 
Following the formal investiture, Tinubu will be officially styled: H.E. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, KCOSL (Hon.), President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria.
The Nigerian President arrived in Vieux Fort, Saint Lucia, on Saturday, marking the first leg of his two-nation tour of the Caribbean and South America. During the visit, he paid courtesy calls to Prime Minister Pierre and Governor General Cyril Errol Melchiades Charles.
 
One of the highlights of the trip was President Tinubu’s address to a special joint session of Saint Lucia’s Senate and House of Assembly at the William Jefferson Clinton Ballroom in Gros Islet. In his speech, he announced the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between Nigeria and Saint Lucia, describing it as a “symbolic bridge” to strengthen bilateral ties.
Tinubu also proposed the creation of a Joint Commission or Political Consultation Agreement to enhance cooperation between Nigeria and the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS).

Wikes Son, Jordan, Reportedly Received $2.85 Billion In Abuja Land From Fathers Office

Wike’s Son, Jordan, Reportedly Received $2.85 Billion in Abuja Land from Father’s Office
In one of the boldest land scandals in recent history, Peoples Gazette exclusively reports that Jordan Wike, the 25-year-old son of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, was allocated at least 1,740 hectares of land in Abuja — valued at roughly $2.85 billion — by his father’s office.
Many of the plots, taken from original owners under questionable claims of non-compliance, were transferred to Jordan through a shell company, Jordan Farms and Estates Ltd. This mirrors a previous Gazette report which revealed that his younger brother, Joaquin Wike, received 2,082 hectares worth $3.6 billion. Combined, the Wike brothers now control nearly 3,822 hectares of prime FCT land, with a total estimated value of $6.45 billion.
 
Both shell firms — Jordan Farms and Joaq Farms — were registered on the same day and share an address in Wuse II linked to Minister Wike. Land was reportedly allocated in choice areas including Maitama, Guzape, Garki, Bwari, and Sheretti Cheche.
In one striking example, a statutory fee of N807 million for land in Sheretti Cheche was cut to N100 million — with only N10 million reportedly paid.
Peoples Gazette also found links between Mr. Wike and two other shell firms — Hyper Communications Ltd and Hyper Station Ltd — tied to the same address. Land records, WhatsApp messages, and internal memos suggest Wike personally oversaw many of these allocations.
Though Wike’s spokesman, Lere Olayinka, denied any wrongdoing and claimed coincidence, pick-up logs and internal correspondence appear to contradict his defense.
Senior FCT officials warn the scandal may exceed abuses under previous ministers. While President Tinubu has reportedly ordered a probe, no public update has been given. Anti-corruption agencies say they’re monitoring but may not act while Wike remains in office.

Osimhen Set To Return To Napoli But Reportedly Banished From The First Team To Join Youth Team

Osimhen Set to Return to Napoli but Reportedly Banished from the First Team  to Join Youth Team
Victor Osimhen has been instructed to report to Napoli for pre-season training following the conclusion of his loan at Galatasaray, where he enjoyed a stellar campaign, scoring 37 goals and assisting six to help the Turkish giants secure a league and cup double.
Despite speculation over his future, the Nigerian striker is expected at Napoli’s training camp on July 14–15 unless a transfer materialises before then. So far, only Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia has met his €75 million release clause, but Osimhen reportedly declined their offer, casting doubt on a summer move.
Napoli will begin their pre-season with medicals before heading to Dimaro, Trentino-Alto Adige for training from July 17–27. They will then continue preparations in Castel di Sangro from July 30 to August 14 after a two-day break.
However, new head coach Antonio Conte has made it clear that Osimhen is not part of his plans for the upcoming season. The 26-year-old will train separately from the main squad and will not participate in any tactical or technical sessions. Instead, he will maintain his fitness by working with the club’s youth team — a situation reminiscent of last season when he was sent home from camp amid transfer uncertainty.

Amitabh Bachchan Drops A Hint On Whether He Will Be In Prabhas Starrer Kalki 2
~3.4 mins read
Kalki 2898 AD’s a film that revolutionised Indian cinema with its mythology, sci-fi world, futuristic visuals and over-the-top storyline. The film draws inspiration from Hindu scriptures and was the first film from the Kalki Cinematic Universe that has been planned. Vijayanthi Movies, the studio behind the brilliant film, shared a post on X, celebrating the epic success of the film on its anniversary and thanking the audience for its support. We started with a dream… and you turned it into an epic. Celebrating 1 YEAR of #Kalki2898AD❤️
Thank you to the audience. This journey is yours as much as ours🙏🏻#1YearForKalki2898AD #1YearForKalkiKARNAge@SrBachchan @ikamalhaasan #Prabhas @deepikapadukone @nagashwin7 @DishPatani pic.twitter.com/H1zZAmTOMX The post received a warm reception from fans in the replies, who congratulated the studio, appreciated the film and even asked for confirmation on Kalki 2 release. Amitabh Bacchan, who plays the role of Ashwatthama, celebrated the one year mark by quoting the tweet for Vijayanthi films and sharing a special message of appreciation for the film. my honoured privilege to be asked to be a part of it .. one that I admired and respected the blessings of Vijayanti films and the elders that ran and connected with it .. ever to be a part of it any day again , IF THEY WERE TO EVER TO ASK .. https://t.co/QkJWGqxYYk The way Amitabh sahab shows his gratitude even at the age of 82 and with countless blockbusters behind him, is a solid proof of what makes him one of the best actors in the history of Indian cinema. And yes, we can confirm that this is Big B’s way of saying that he would take part in Kalki 2 in a heartbeat, and we would love to see him step into the dystopian Kalki universe again. Fans were excited to see this, but they were not so excited to see that Big B had missed out on a major detail, or rather a tradition – of numbering the post.  Kalki 2898 AD was an immediate hit amongst the audiences, cashing in over ₹191 Crore on its opening day at the global box office, and throughout its lifetime – grossed over ₹1050 Crores, finishing #2 at the box office in 2024, and taking its place as the 7th  highest grossing Indian film of all time.  In what seemed to be a never-ending wave of half-baked sequels and remakes, Indian cinema was truly suffering from the lack of something ‘new’, especially in times where Hollywood and other film industries were releasing back to back bangers across all genres. Well, Kalki, a masterpiece from Telugu cinema, was the movie that broke this cycle of meh. It drew a lot of attention from every Indian, at first – solely because it was a break from all the cliche stories we’re used to seeing on the big screen, but later – because it is one of the best projects to come out of the nation. In every single department, whether it be cinematography, sets, costumes, VFX or even the cast, story and dialogues – Kalki nailed it, proving that yes, Indian cinema is capable of scaling its quality of storytelling to unimaginable heights.    Another huge reason behind the film’s success, was its brilliant cast – which featured Amitabh Bachchan in a crucial role, Prabhas and Deepika Padukone in the lead roles, with Kamal Haasan and Disha Patani also being a part of the mix. As we all know, Kalki 2898 AD was only the start of the Kalki cinematic universe, and things will only get bigger and better moving forward. Though there’s no confirmed date as of now, Aswini Dutt did confirm a few months ago that the pre-production on Kalki 2 has already begun, and that he has full confidence in Nag Ashwin to deliver a film even bolder than Kalki 2898 AD.  We’re excited to see what Kalki 2 will be like, and so is all of India… heck, even global audiences are looking forward to it. But the big question of whether Amitabh ji will be getting the call to join the cast once again or not, remains to be answered. Either way, he’s already confirmed he’s ready to do it any day.
