In a decisive move to maintain economic stability, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has unanimously voted to keep all monetary policy parameters constant.

By that decision, the committee voted to retain the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR) steady at 27.50%; asymmetric corridor at +500 to -100 basis points; hold credit reserve ratio of deposit money banks at 50 per cent, and merchant banks at 60 per cent. MPC also held liquidity ratio constant.

The decision is a departure from the CBN’s approach throughout 2024, during which the MPR was incrementally increased to address rising inflation, culminating in the current rate of 27.50% established in November.

CBN Governor, Olayemi Cardoso, announced this decision during a media briefing following the MPC’s first meeting of 2025 on Thursday, emphasising the need for a consistent policy stance amid ongoing economic challenges. He attributed the decision to the prevailing economic variables, especially the rebased inflation figure.

The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) recently reported a decline in Nigeria’s headline inflation rate to 24.48% year-on-year for January, a significant decrease from the previous month’s 34.80%.

The improvement was largely attributed to a rebasing exercise that updated the base year from 2009 to 2024, providing a more accurate reflection of current consumption patterns.

“As always, we are data-driven. What we have is a CPI which is more reflective of the consumption pattern. To that extent, one commends the NBS for bringing this to reality,” Governor Cardoso stated.

He noted that the rebased inflation reflects the true position of the nation’s inflationary position and in line with international best standard. Despite the positive shift in inflation figures, the MPC opted to maintain the current MPR to ensure sustained economic stability.

Cardoso said CBN will continue to monitor both domestic and global risks to the Nigeria economy with a focus on mitigating the risks to Nigeria.

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has shared a chilling encounter with a woman who persistently claimed that God had ordained him as her husband.

Speaking on Wednesday at the grand finale of the 2025 Special Victory Hour programme, Pastor Adeboye narrated how the woman, a senior official at the West African Examinations Council and a married mother, unexpectedly walked into his office with the bizarre declaration.

“Several years ago, a woman just woke up one morning, came to my office, and said, ‘God has told me that you are my husband.’ I said, ‘How can God tell you that? I am a pastor, happily married.’ She herself was married, and from the look of things, she might even be older than me,” Pastor Adeboye recalled.

Despite attempts to reason with her, the woman remained resolute, even going as far as threatening the life of his wife, Folu Adeboye.

Concerned for his family’s safety, he sought the intervention of her husband, hoping to resolve the situation. However, she refused to relent.

“We sent for her husband, but she didn’t change. We brought the matter to the police DPO, and they told her to stop coming to the camp. She said, ‘You are joking.’ She told my wife, ‘If you don’t allow me to marry him, I will kill you.’ This was not a joke—demons have been around for a long time,” he explained.

Stalked To London

The unsettling episode took a more disturbing turn when Pastor Adeboye travelled discreetly to London to work on a Sunday School pamphlet, only to be tracked down by the same woman.

The RCCG General Overseer said, “Then one day I went to London to prepare our Sunday school pamphlet. I told nobody I was coming. Nobody knew I wanted to do the work quietly, that’s why I went.

“As soon as I got into the house in London, the phone rang. When I picked up, she said, ‘Welcome. I’ve been waiting for you. I will be with you in the next few minutes, I’m at the next bus stop.’”

Shocked by her persistence and how she managed to locate him, Pastor Adeboye sought divine intervention.

“I had to threaten her with the police, and unlike Nigeria, the police there cannot be settled. Then I turned to the Almighty God and asked, ‘What is this?’ God said, ‘As long as you allow the mountain to stay, the mountain will stay.’ So I prayed a simple prayer. I don’t know how it happened, but they brought her body back to Nigeria,” he concluded.

The former military leader, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB) has disclosed that the late Chief Moshood Abiola was the rightful winner of the presidential election held on June 12, 1993.

Naija News reports that IBB made this revelation in his autobiography, titled “A Journey in Service,” which was launched in Abuja on Thursday, February 20, 2025.

During the book review conducted by former Vice President Prof. Yemi Osibanjo, Babangida stated that MKO Abiola, who ran for the presidency under the Social Democratic Party (SDP), garnered both the highest number of votes and the necessary geographical distribution to assume the presidency.

He characterized the annulment of the June 12 election as the most difficult period of his life.

“There was no doubt in my mind; MKO Abiola won the election. He satisfied all the requirements,” he said.

IBB expressed his satisfaction that President Muhammadu Buhari recognized Abiola as the rightful winner of the election and bestowed upon him the esteemed national title of Grand Commander of the Federal Republic (GCFR), a title typically reserved for presidents.

Meanwhile, former president of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan, has described former military leader, Ibrahim Babangida as one of the charismatic leaders in the country.

Jonathan shared his admiration in Abuja on Thursday during the launch of a book by Babangida titled, ‘A Journey in Service”.

He hailed Babangida over the launch of his memoir and insisted that Nigeria’s history is incomplete without the former military leader’s story.

He said, “So, Ibrahim Bagandiga as we all know, is one of the most charismatic leaders in this country. He is somebody that, up to date, people go as if they are going on a pilgrimage to consult him. We thank God for giving him that grace and the wisdom to continue to mentor people.

“In terms of leadership, Nigerians know you have contributed significantly in terms of the infrastructure development of this country and social mobilisation. We cannot write the history of Nigeria without dedicating a reasonable part to your service as the president of Nigeria, You’ve done well!”

According to him, with the launch of the book, the former head president has contributed immensely to the documentation of the country’s rich history.

Omowunmi Aloba, wife of the late Nigerian rapper Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad, has finally exposed chilling details about the day her husband tragically lost his life.

In a chat with media personality Chude Jideonwo, Wunmi laid bare the unsettling chain of events that unfolded. She revealed that after Mohbad sustained an injury, a nurse was called in to treat him, but the injection she administered triggered a fatal reaction.

She disclosed that on the night Mohbad died, his father, Joseph Aloba, arrived at their home, and the nurse recounted everything that had transpired.

As the situation spiraled out of control and Mohbad’s condition worsened, she recalled his manager pushing for the nurse’s immediate arrest. Shockingly, Wunmi claimed, her father-in-law intervened,insisted the nurse be allowed to go free.

The next day, in a horrifying twist, Wunmi said she was blindsided when she discovered online that Mohbad was already being buried, without her knowledge. Rushing to the burial site in shock, the mother of one said was met with yet another nightmare.

She alleged that an attempt was made to snatch her son, Liam, from her, an action that forced her to wrap her little boy in a plastic bag just to escape with him.

Consumed with grief and anger, Wunmi expressed outrage over the inconclusive autopsy results, which she blamed on her father-in-law’s hasty burial of Mohbad.

She claimed that by the time an autopsy was performed, the body had decomposed to a point where crucial evidence, especially from injuries Wunmi believed he sustained in a fight with his friend Primeboy, was lost, made it impossible to determine the true cause of death.

Rejecting the inconclusive findings, Wunmi declared she would continue to seek justice because her son, Liam, would one day demand the truth about what really happened to his father.

Sunmary of her words in quote;

“I know that there was a nurse involved in my husband’s demise and that he reacted to an injection. On the night that he died, my father-in-law came to our house and the nurse narrated what happened to him. My husband’s manager wanted to get the nurse arrested that night but my father-in-law said they should let her go.

“The following day, it was online that I knew they wanted to bury Moh. I was not informed. When I got there, they wanted to kidnap Liam from me, we had to wrap him in a plastic bag.

“It is so sad to hear that his autopsy was inconclusive just because my father-in-law rushed to bury him because I know he had an injury from the fight he had with Prime boy. I can’t accept the inconclusive result because Liam will grow up to ask me questions”
