Suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan Slams N5.1 Billion Defamation Suit Against Senator Nwaebonyi Suspended Senator Natasha Hadiza Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents the Kogi Central Senatorial District in Kogi State, has filed a N5.1 billion defamation lawsuit against Senator Onyekachi Nwaebonyi. The lawsuit, marked Suit No: CV/1359/25, was filed at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja Judicial Division, through her legal team led by Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Michael Jonathan Numa. In the filing, Akpoti-Uduaghan alleges that Senator Nwaebonyi made defamatory remarks against her during a live appearance on Channels Television's *Sunrise Daily* on March 6, 2025. According to her, Nwaebonyi falsely referred to her as a “gold digger,” “habitual liar,” and “habitual blackmailer.” She contends that the statements were “false, malicious, defamatory, and actionable per se,” and that they have caused significant reputational damage and emotional distress. The suspended senator further claims the defamatory remarks lowered her image before the public, leading to embarrassment and reputational harm. Filed by Writ of Summons under Order 2 Rule 2 of the FCT High Court (Civil Procedure) Rules 2025, the suit was officially submitted on April 7, 2025. Among the reliefs sought, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan is asking the court to declare that the statements made by Nwaebonyi do not constitute a lawful exercise of freedom of speech. She is demanding multiple declarations, injunctions, and monetary compensation, including: - A declaration that the statements made during the March 6, 2025, *Sunrise Daily* interview — describing her as a “gold digger,” “habitual liar,” and “habitual blackmailer” — are false, malicious, and defamatory, having caused harm to her reputation. - A declaration that additional remarks made during a March 3, 2025, interview on Arise News TV, in which Nwaebonyi allegedly said she was “a mother of six from different men,” are also defamatory, malicious, and injurious to her character and public image. - A declaration concerning statements made in a YouTube video — [link](https://youtu.be/fzo4O6zhMPM?si=Nhl9-2pVYIzU22) — where Nwaebonyi allegedly said: “This woman is spoiling game for women who want to enter politics. Are you the only woman in Nigeria, Senator Natasha!? What is wrong with you?” - A further declaration regarding another video — [News Central TV report](https://youtu.be/nXaok-O5ni8?si=guLUAR-IIFOQRh) — published on March 27, 2025, in which Nwaebonyi allegedly claimed that Akpoti-Uduaghan blackmailed her current husband into marrying her under duress and accused her of falsely alleging sexual harassment against Reno Omokri during the Goodluck Jonathan administration. She claims these publications were “false, malicious, unjustified, injurious, scornful, distasteful, and unsavory,” exposing her to ridicule both nationally and internationally. The senator is seeking: - A perpetual injunction restraining Nwaebonyi and his affiliates from making further defamatory remarks. - A court order compelling Nwaebonyi to retract his statements and publish an unreserved apology in at least two national newspapers and on all platforms where the defamatory remarks were made. - N5 billion in aggravated and exemplary damages. - Post-judgment interest on the awarded sum at 10% per annum until fully paid. - An additional N100 million as the cost of legal action. She is also asking the court to grant any further orders it deems appropriate.

NATASHA GOOFS AGAIN, FLOUTS COURT ORDER, GRANTS INTERVIEW TO NEW YORK TIMES - AKPABIO TURNS DOWN OFFER TO APPEAR ON NEW YORK TIMES Sen. Natasha continues in her hubris to mess things for herself, as she grants interview to New York Times in her desperation to whip up public sympathy over her suspension, owing to her display of gross misconduct and indiscipline at the floor of the senate, despite court’s order, restraining all the parties in the suit from granting interview to the press while the matter is under subjudice. Apoti’s appearance on the New York Times demonstrates her flagrant disobedience to the order of the court and consequently the rule of law. Apoti’s attitude demonstrates an overt pigheadedness, ingrained in her hubris disposition, which is in variance with the office she occupies as a distinguished senator of the Federal Republic. In the light of the foregoing, many Nigerians have applauded Apoti’s appearance on the magazine where her skewed sexual harassment narrative was reported. What many of those applauding her do not know is that the management of the magazine reached out to Akpabio in the culture of balanced reportage to have him speak on the accusation but he turned it down on the premise that the matter is under subjudice and the court has asked all parties to refrain from granting interview to the press on it.

THIS IS STILL ON WEIGHT LOSS. 1. Nutrition: The Foundation of Fat Loss Why it matters: You can’t out-train a poor diet. Around 70–80% of weight loss happens in the kitchen. Actionable Tips: Calorie Deficit: Your body needs fewer calories than it burns. Start by reducing your intake by 300–500 calories/day. This results in about 0.5–1kg of weight loss per week — a healthy pace. What to Eat: Proteins (essential for fat loss & muscle maintenance): Chicken breast, fish, tofu, Greek yogurt, eggs, lentils. Complex Carbs (for energy, fiber): Brown rice, quinoa, oats, sweet potatoes. Healthy Fats (keep you full): Avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oil. Vegetables & Fruits: High in fiber and nutrients, low in calories. What to Limit: Sugary drinks (soda, energy drinks, too much fruit juice) Processed snacks (chips, candy, cookies) Refined carbs (white bread, white rice, pastries) Meal Tips: Prep meals in advance. Use smaller plates to control portions. Eat slowly — your brain takes 20 minutes to register fullness. 2. Exercise: Burn Calories & Build Muscle Why it matters: Exercise helps boost metabolism, preserve muscle, and improve overall health. Workout Strategy: Cardio (3–5x/week): Brisk walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, or dancing. Start with 30 minutes a day — even 10-minute chunks work. Strength Training (2–4x/week): Focus on big compound moves like squats, lunges, push-ups, planks. Strength workouts burn calories during and after the workout (afterburn effect). No gym? Bodyweight exercises at home work too. Active Lifestyle (daily): Take stairs instead of elevators. Walk after meals. Set a step goal (start with 6k, aim for 10k steps/day). 3. Sleep, Stress, & Mindset Sleep: 7–9 hours/night. Poor sleep disrupts hormones like ghrelin (hunger) and leptin (fullness). Stress: Chronic stress = more cortisol = increased belly fat + cravings. Try meditation, deep breathing, journaling, nature walks. 4. Track Your Progress (but not just the scale) Take photos every 2 weeks. Measure waist, hips, thighs. Track energy levels, sleep, strength gains. Use the scale only as one data point — don’t let it rule your mood. 5. Keep It Sustainable Start with habits you can stick to long-term. Don’t crash diet or eliminate entire food groups unless needed for medical reasons. Allow room for occasional treats — balance, not perfection.

"NYSC can do more than it currently does. Extending it to two years will allow corps members to acquire real, useful skills." The Minister of State for Education, Dr. Yusuf Alausa, has proposed extending the NYSC scheme from one to two years to enhance skills training and national impact. The minister also recommended expanding the NYSC entrepreneurship programme and deploying more graduate teachers to rural schools to bridge manpower gaps. NYSC Director-General Brig. Gen. Y.D. Ahmed pledged the Scheme’s readiness to implement federal reforms and called for a database to track Nigerians studying abroad. Photo credit - Kola Sulaimon/Getty images
