Kiddwaya Embraces Luxury Lifestyle Without Apology
Reality TV personality Kiddwaya Terseer, son of billionaire Terry Waya, has stirred conversations after openly admitting that he has no desire to follow a conventional work path.
Speaking during a podcast session, the former BBNaija star described his daily routine as one centered around travel, leisure, and enjoyment, emphasizing that his lifestyle is funded by family wealth.

Military Shake-Up Sparks Mixed Reactions Nationwide
The recent overhaul in Nigeria’s military leadership by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has generated widespread debate among citizens.
Following the removal of General Christopher Musa and other service chiefs, new appointments were announced, including General Olufemi Oluyede as Chief of Defence Staff, alongside other key replacements in the army, navy, and air force.
While the presidency described the move as a strategic step to strengthen national security, many Nigerians have linked the decision to alleged coup-related tensions within the military.
One public reaction summarized the mood, suggesting that swift action may have been taken to avoid risks, while others called for greater transparency from the government regarding the true circumstances behind the shake-up.
Fresh Warnings Over PDP’s Internal Crisis
Concerns continue to mount within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as Nyesom Wike voices strong criticism of its leadership structure.
The FCT Minister expressed frustration over what he described as exclusionary practices by some governors, warning that sidelining experienced members could ultimately destroy the party.
He argued that internal unity is rapidly eroding, stressing that the party’s current struggles are self-inflicted rather than caused by external opposition forces.
Wike Insists Party Decline Was Predictable
In a related development, Nyesom Wike reiterated that the current instability within the PDP aligns with warnings he had previously issued.
Reflecting on recent defections and leadership disagreements, he maintained that poor decision-making and political maneuvering have weakened the party’s structure.
He suggested that failure to address internal divisions early has now resulted in an embarrassing situation for the opposition.
Tinubu Defends Strategic Changes in Armed Forces
Amid the ongoing discussions, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has provided further insight into the reasoning behind the leadership overhaul in the military.
According to the presidency, the restructuring is intended to inject renewed energy, discipline, and direction into Nigeria’s security framework.
The President also acknowledged the contributions of the outgoing officials while urging newly appointed leaders to uphold professionalism and national unity.
Opposition Party Demands Greater Transparency
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has raised concerns over the sudden changes within the military hierarchy, calling for a clearer explanation from the federal government.
Led by spokesperson Bolaji Abdullahi, the party questioned whether deeper issues influenced the decision, especially in light of circulating reports about internal threats.
The ADC warned that such abrupt changes could affect morale within the armed forces if not properly explained.
