Ondo State civil servants will resume work on Monday, January 5, 2026, following the declaration of January 2 as a work-free day after the New Year holiday. The announcement was made after the State Executive Council meeting chaired by Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, with the resumption day to include the traditional first workday prayer. The government also approved new infrastructure projects, including the 24km Aboto–Atijere Road and Sabomi Road in Ese-Odo Local Government Area. In chieftaincy matters, Owei Kekemeke was appointed as the pioneer monarch of Agadagda-Obon, while steps were taken to fill other vacant stools across the state. Additionally, the State Executive Council approved a new Tax Bill for transmission to the Ondo State House of Assembly, aimed at aligning the state’s tax system with the Nigeria Tax Act 2025 to promote transparency, efficiency, and economic growth. #OndoisLucky #Ourease

Facts matter. In 11 months, Nigeria’s solid minerals sector delivered ₦63.92bn to the Federation Account. That result sits squarely within the Renewed Hope economic direction of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialabat and the reform-focused stewardship of Dr. Dele Alake @alakedele. A sector plagued by neglect is now contributing meaningfully to national revenue — even under security constraints. Momentum has started. Direction is clear. This is how serious governance looks. #RenewedHope #EconomicDiversification #SolidMineralsNG
BURNA BOY MADE OVER 42 BILLION NAIRA FROM ONE ALBUM TOUR. THE GREATEST! 🐐
Leadership is not understood through noise. It is understood through study. In this picture is President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 1994. At the time, he stood out quietly. He was the only one wearing a cap marked with the ♾️ infinity emblem. No applause. No crowd imitation. No trending conversations. Today, that same symbol has become a national emblem, worn by millions. That is how leadership works. Great leaders are often distinct long before they are celebrated. They carry signs, habits, unique traits, ideas, excellence, philosophies, discipline, and vision that many overlook until history gives them context. Leadership leaves clues long before it leaves legacies. This is why it is dangerous to blindly follow leaders without understanding them, and equally dangerous to blindly criticize them without studying them. Every leader has: • Mistakes to learn from • Failures that shaped their resilience • Successes that reveal strategy • Achievements that reflect endurance • A lifestyle that exposes discipline, consistency, and long-term thinking Leadership is a classroom. If you refuse to study it, you repeat its errors instead of improving on its victories. Stop hating leaders without knowledge. Stop idolizing leaders without wisdom. Study them. Analyze them. Learn from them. Then become better and greater than them. There is always something uncommon about true leaders. Your responsibility is to find it, refine it, and build on it for a stronger, wiser, and more intentional future. History rewards those who learn. The future belongs to those who apply. Just as no one should expect me to do less than Rochas Okorocha, Ikedi Ohakim, Hope Uzodinma, or any of the past governors of Imo State, so also no one should expect me not to do better. Leadership is a relay, not a throne. When nature, time, and destiny place the baton of leadership in my hands, I will take it boldly, fearlessly, wisely, and strategically, building on what was done, correcting what was flawed, and elevating Imo State beyond its previous limits. Progress demands succession, courage, and vision. When the season comes, I will not shrink. I will rise to it courageously, intentionally, brilliantly, and with great pride as a prepared leader with the burning desire to fix my state/nation. Professor Sandra Chidinma Duru

PRESS RELEASE NIGERIA POLICE FORCE SALUTES RETIRED DIG CECILIA ADEBISI UGOWE AT 90 The Nigeria Police Force felicitates with Retired Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Cecilia Adebisi Ugowe, as she marks her 90th birthday anniversary, celebrating a life defined by service, courage, and enduring contributions to policing in Nigeria. Retired DIG Ugowe occupies a distinguished place in the history of the Nigeria Police Force and her career stands as a tribute to perseverance and professional excellence, having risen through the ranks at a period when leadership opportunities for women in policing were limited. Through merit, discipline, and commitment, she earned appointments to senior command positions, ultimately attaining the rank of Deputy Inspector-General of Police, as the first female officer to attain such height. She was also the first female Commissioner of Police (CP), the first female Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG), and the first woman to hold the position of Force Secretary. Beyond the offices she held, her legacy lies in the path she helped to open for future generations. Her service broadened participation, strengthened institutional professionalism, and demonstrated that leadership in policing is defined by competence, integrity, and dedication rather than convention. As the Force reflects on her life and career at this landmark age, it acknowledges the lasting value of her contributions, which continue to inspire officers particularly women to pursue excellence and leadership in service to the nation. The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, PhD, NPM, on behalf of the Nigeria Police Force, warmly wishes Retired Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Cecilia Adebisi Ugowe, continued good health, peace, and love, as she celebrates ninety years of a life that has left an indelible mark on the institution and the nation.

Elephants flap their large ears to help release excess body heat through a dense network of blood vessels. As blood circulates close to the ear’s thin skin, heat is transferred to the surrounding air. Flapping increases airflow, speeding up the cooling process much like a natural fan. This mechanism is especially important because elephants have massive bodies that retain heat easily. Without efficient sweat glands, ear flapping becomes a vital strategy for maintaining a stable body temperature.

The first time Ronaldinho caught everyone's attention with his talent was when his team won 23-0, and he scored all the goals. This was back in 1993, while he was playing in the youth divisions of Gremio. "I scored 23 goals in a single match, but the kids we played against were terrible. I think they only played physical education for fun," he recalled. "I was already part of a team, which says a lot. It was in fifth grade, and I have to admit, it was never that easy again."
Richard Smallwood, a singer-songwriter who became a chart-topping stalwart of gospel music and whose songs were performed by artists like Destiny’s Child and Whitney Houston, died Dec. 30. He was 77.
