" Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live. But when a man dies at the time his wisdom is most needed, the loss is irreparable." By Prof. Mike Ozekhome, CON There are men whose passing does not merely end a life, but it interrupts a conversation that has been running for decades. On Monday, 31st August 2026, that conversation stopped. Chief Daniel Osikheme Orbih, famously called Kuluku I, died at the age of sixty-four. For a man who had spent nearly three decades embedded in the machinery of Nigerian party politics, the news travelled with a peculiar speed and weight. To speak of Dan Orbih only in the vocabulary of politics would be to tell half the story, and perhaps the smaller half. He was, before he was a politician, a son of Etsako soil, a student of business, and a man who built enterprises with his own hands long before he learned to build political structures. The Ogbona boy was born on 27th October 1961 in Ogbona,...

By Cerutti Media / Humanitarian World It was a sign of relief and happiness for about 105 Nigerians who returned home from South Africa last night after months of fear and uncertainty. The returnees were sponsored by the Redeemed Christian Church of God, led by Pastor Enoch Adeboye, in a humanitarian gesture that has continued to attract praise across the country. They landed safely in Nigeria to the joy of their families. According to our findings, the Nigerians complained of xenophobic attacks in South Africa. Many of them said they lost their businesses, their means of livelihood and lived in constant fear for their lives before the intervention came. For them, it was a second chance at life. On arrival, they gave God the glory for saving them and for using the Redeemed Christian Church of God to bring them back home alive. One of the returnees, Eze Pauline Ijoma, who spoke to us on WhatsApp chat, could not hide her joy. She thanked Pastor Adeboye and the Redeemed Christian Church o...

" The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time." -Mark Twain               By Mike Cerutti O As I sit down to perform my work of the day, I was restless, I could not work. Before I do anything, I must send a sympathy message to the Nigerian Government, the Ministry of Aviation, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, the Nigerian Air Force and the families of the people that were killed at the Air Force crash. On Monday, October 5th, the nation was thrown into mourning when a Nigerian Air Force ATR-42 aircraft, NAF 931, on a routine mission from Benin to Lagos, crashed at Igbokoda community in Ondo State near a Naval Base. While the Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, initially reported 32 persons on board (25 passengers and 7 crew), the Nigerian Air Force has now officially confirmed that 25 persons were on board, comprising 5 crew members and 20 passengers. Search and rescue teams were immediat...
