remaining relevant in the entertainment industry and much more. Excerpts:
PT: What ex-BBNaija housemate did you
connect with the most while they were in the BBNaija house?
Toke: Bisola. Everyone in my household made me fall in love with her; they would use all their money to vote for her. My cook is her biggest fan and when she came out use, they actually met. Bisola was so kind to do that. I loved how real and funny she was; she was the life of the party. So Bisola is one of the ex-has I can’t really get over quickly.
Traffic was brought to a halt in Lopburi, Thailand this week after rival monkey gangs started fighting over food. The monkeys usually rely on tourists for snacks, but covid-19 lockdowns have often left them hungry, Washington post reports.
“With the tourists gone, they’ve been more
aggressive, fighting humans for food to survive,” a local veterinarian said.
“They’re invading buildings and forcing locals to flee their homes.”
According to the report, drivers had to wait in their cars for several minutes as the wild monkeys squabbled in the streets. Onlookers could hear the monkeys squealing until one of the groups was chased away.

From the IG Desk of Evangelist Mike Bamiloye:
THE MAN WHO WAS "WISER" THAN
JESUS
Many years ago, a man of God came
visiting my wife and I in our house. It was a time we were passing through a
serious moment of lack and hunger in our ministry. He came and began to tell us
a lot of his ministerial exploits and miracles the Lord was doing in his
ministry.
Then, he threw down a bombshell. He said, he was now wiser. He said gone were days when people would come to him for prayers to settle their numerous problems, and he would pray for them and they would never come back to appreciate the Prophet of God. He said that has been a moment of lose. He said even Jesus Christ was shocked and disappointed when He healed ten lepers and only one of them came back to give Him appreciation. He said he had learnt his lesson from what happened to Jesus, that whoever wanted to be prayed for must first bring something to the prophet's feet, before he or she could be prayed for. He said he must be paid in advance, before the prophet's prayers.
Capitol Police officer Aquilino Gonell told lawmakers on Tuesday of his ongoing efforts to grapple with the fallout of having come under attack at the hands of rioters loyal to former President Trump as they tried to protect the Capitol on Jan. 6, Washington Post reports.
“That day continues to be a constant trauma for us, literally every day,” Gonell, who was attacked with chemical spray that made his skin burn and needed surgery to repair his injuries, told the committee.

The man seized by kidnappers after delivering a N30 million ransom for the release of 136 pupils of Salihu Tanko Islamiyya School, Tegina in Rafi Local Government Area of Niger State, has described how the pupils are being kept in “disturbing” conditions, Premium Times reports.
According to the report, the pupils were abducted by the bandits from their school on May 30 and are still being held by the bandits despite a global outrage.
The ransom bearer provided an insight to how they are being held after his own release on Monday.
PREMIUM TIMES reported how Kasimu Barangana was sent along side six others to deliver the ransom but was seized by the bandits over an alleged shortfall of N4.6 million in the N30 million ransom.
Mr Barangana told PREMIUM TIMES after he was released on Monday that the children were being kept in poor conditions in 25 different camps.
“The pupils were separated into 25 groups in the forest, with each group being monitored by different gangs in fear of attacks.
“I was taken round the enclave to see the children and I found their conditions disturbing,” Mr Barangana said.
However, he said the bandits did not maltreat him.

Rauf Aregbesola, Nigeria's Minister of Interior |
Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola
yesterday requested governors to sign the death warrants of convicts on death
row who have exhausted all avenues of appeal to free up space in the nation’s
correctional facilities, ThisDay reports.
The minister who made the plea while
speaking in Osogbo, Osun state, when inaugurating the newly constructed
headquarters of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS), Daily
Trust reported, said the nation’s correctional facilities are being
stretched by “an overpopulation capacity of 18 percent” — with facilities built
to serve 57,278 inmates currently holding 68,747 inmates, urging that to remedy
the decongestion, convicts on death row who have used up all means of appeal
must be hastened to the gallow.
According to Aregbesola, while the governors could free some condemned convicts on compassionate grounds due to old age or illness other inmates that have demonstrated exceptionally good behaviour could also be released or have their sentences commuted to life or specific terms in jail.

CAP-HAÏTIEN, Haiti — The coffin of Haiti’s assassinated president, Jovenel Moïse, was carried by men in military uniform to a central stage and covered with a Haitian flag Friday as onlookers tucked in bouquets of white flowers before a state funeral, a moment that many hoped would help mend a fractured nation.
Just hours earlier, the northern city of Cap-Haïtien — 30 minutes from his family homestead where the ceremony will be held — had burned with anger and frustration, exposing Haiti’s deep divisions and the distrust of the elite in the country’s less developed north.
Two weeks after Moïse was killed in his own bedroom outside the capital, Port-au-Prince, the country is still spinning with unanswered questions and seething with anger. Authorities say he was killed by a group of Colombian mercenaries, and several members of Moïse’s own security detail have been questioned and taken into custody as well.
