    Atiku Slams Tinubu Over Silence After Oyo Schoolchildren Rescue

    The family of Michael Oyedokun, the schoolteacher murdered by his abductors while in captivity, says their grief remains fresh even as the remaining victims of the May 15 Oyo school abductions return home. Oyedokun was among the teachers seized by gunmen from Community High School, Ahoro-Esiele, in Oriire Local Government Area, before he was killed during captivity. The other 44 victims regained freedom on Friday after 56 days in captivity, following a joint rescue operation by the military, the Department of State Services, and the Nigeria Police Force. Reacting on Instagram, Oluwabukolami, who identified Oyedokun as her uncle, said the family was happy for other reunited families but remained devastated by their own loss. "They are finally home. My heart rejoices with every family that has been reunited with their loved ones after weeks of pain, fear and uncertainty. Welcome home," she wrote. "But as others celebrate, my family mourns. "My uncle, Mr Michael Olugbade Oyedokun, will never come home. "He was taken from us, and his life was brutally cut short. Our joy is incomplete because one chair at our table will remain empty forever. "Today, we celebrate those who returned while remembering the one who never did. Rest in peace, Uncle Michael. You will never be forgotten." The gunmen struck on May 15, attacking Baptist Nursery and Primary School, Yawota; Community Grammar School, Esiele; and LA Primary School, Ogbomoso — all in Oriire Local Government Area.

Nicki Minaj Explains Why Fame Pulled Her Away From Church Attendance

American rapper Nicki Minaj has revealed why she no longer attends church regularly, attributing the change to the demands of her flourishing music career rather than a loss of faith.

Speaking during a recent episode of The Bryce Crawford Podcast, the award-winning artist said her busy schedule began interfering with church attendance once her career gained momentum.

According to Minaj, performing on Friday and Saturday nights often leaves her exhausted by Sunday mornings, making it difficult to participate in church services.

The 43-year-old stressed that her absence from church is not a reflection of diminished faith. Instead, she explained that the nature of her profession consumes much of her weekends, leaving little room for regular worship attendance.

Despite no longer attending church consistently, Minaj maintained that her belief in God remains strong and that she continues to nurture a personal relationship with Him.

She added that her spiritual journey is still evolving and that she is making conscious efforts to remain grounded in her faith.

“I stopped going to church when my career started taking off because I was always working on Friday and Saturday nights, and Sunday mornings became difficult, but I still believe in God, I have a relationship with Him, and I’m trying to stay consistent even though it’s not always easy,” she said.
