Shakiru told Channels Television; 

 

“When my wife told me she was pregnant, and she went for a scan, I told her she was joking.

  There are more burdens on Nigerians as Moniepoint, Opay and other Fintech banks and financial services have imposed fresh N50 charges known as Electronic Money Transfer Levy (EMTL), on customers. It was gathered that the customers of Moniepoint and Opay will start paying the charges from September 9, 2024, according to a recent notice by the banks. The new levy is in addition to the recent Premium Motor Spirit (Petrol) pump price hike to N855 and N897 by Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited retail outlets. The  development means Nigerians using Opay and Moniepoint will have to pay N50 charges for any electronic transactions of N10,000 and above. The Fintech companies blamed the charges on a directive from the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS). In a terse notification to its customers on Saturday, Moniepoint wrote: “A  N50 fee would be charged on inflows you receive of N10,000 and above from Monday, September 9, 2024.

  Betsy Obaseki, the wife of the Governor of Edo State, has revealed that she is yet to have a child because she experienced miscarriages, painful stillbirths, and evacuations of babies who died in her womb. Obaseki revealed this on Saturday while comforting childless women during a Zoom meeting with Edo women in the diaspora. Her remarks served as a poignant response to a viral video featuring Senator Adams Oshiomhole’s unsavory comments regarding her own childless state. Obaseki encouraged childless women to reframe their perceptions and regard themselves as veritable vessels of fruitfulness, replete with potential and proud mothers of progeny who shall arrive in the fullness of time, as ordained by the Divine Providence. Addressing a gathering of over 200 women, who had convened from far-flung corners of the globe, Obaseki reminded her audience that every individual has been created by the Almighty for a purpose that transcends the mundane. Obaseki said,  “My words of comfort to you

  A  new experimental brain implantation device, Blindsight, designed to restore vision has been awarded the US Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) ‘breakthrough device’ designation. The device was created by Elon Musk’s brain chip company, Neuralink, which specialises in developing a brain-chip interface that can be implanted within the skull. Blindsight is designed to allow individuals who have lost both eyes and optic nerves to regain sight. On Tuesday, in a post made on X announcing the new development, Elon Musk said Blindsight can help blind people regain their sight as long as their virtual cortex is still intact. He said, “The Blindsight device from Neuralink will enable even those who have lost both eyes and their optic nerve to see. He said: “Provided the visual cortex is intact, it will even enable those who have been blind from birth to see for the first time. “To set expectations correctly, the vision will at first be low resolution, like Atari graphics, but eventually it
