Recently, Obi Cubana’s adopted son posted a video on TikTok saying he is the “next of kin” to Obi Cubana. Shortly after, Obi Cubana posted a photo of his biological son on Instagram with the caption: “Ancient and Modern. Eyes on the ball – AKA the next of kin.”

This sparked a lot of reactions online. Some people said Obi Cubana was being petty, while others agreed he did the right thing by clearing the air.

Here’s my opinion:

Obi Cubana did the right thing. Since the adopted son made a public statement, it was only fair for Obi to make a public clarification. If he had kept quiet, people might think he agreed, and that could cause family problems in the future.

We need to stop being too emotional. In Africa, most people still see biological children as different from adopted ones. That’s just the reality of our culture.

That’s why I advise women who are getting close to menopause to try and have their own children if possible.
If you’re over 35, have a stable job, and your body can still carry a baby, consider finding a responsible man to father your child. It’s better to raise a child from your own blood than adopt one when you don’t know the full background of the child you adopt unless your egg and supamu is not working. Lets be practical, not just emotional.

According to Ekwutosblog , Troops of Operation Safe Haven (OPSH) on Saturday, April 19, 2025, averted what could have been a deadly clash between ethnic groups in Plateau State after armed youths attacked a Fulani settlement in Riyom Local Government Area, PRNigeria reports.

The crisis erupted in Tanjol Village around 1:00 p.m. when suspected Berom youths opened fire on cattle belonging to Fulani herders, killing one cow and injuring two others.

The provocative assault triggered a swift mobilization of Fulani youths from nearby Mahanga in preparation for a reprisal, raising fears of renewed ethnic violence.

According to Zagazola, prompt intervention by security forces — including OPSH’s Sector 6, reinforced by Sector 4 and the Forward Operating Base (FOB) Gashish — successfully dispersed the armed groups before the situation escalated.

Two Fulani youths sustained gunshot wounds during the incident, while the attackers fled into surrounding bushes.

Troops and police have since intensified patrols in the area to prevent further unrest.

Officials of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), on Monday, carried out flight checks at the the Gateway International Airport, Ogun State, beginning the process for the commencement of commercial flights.

Speaking after conducting the check, the Manager, Flight Calibration Services, NAMA, Engr. Miri Selzing, said the aim of the check was to ensure that it aligned with the proposed procedures defined for the airport.

He said: “Our purpose for coming here is to check the proposed procedures that have been defined for the airport. This is a significant process and not something that can be concluded in a short time.

“Our visit is the beginning of the validation of the procedure. We have reviewed the procedures that have been drawn up, checked them in the air, and we will analyze them when we get back to our base. From there, we will be able to come up with recommendations and modifications where necessary.

“But physically, the airport looks very good. The runway, about four kilometers long—the longest in the country—is very impressive. The airport has a good terminal building; everything is fine, so it is a great job being done here.”

The Manager commended the state government for establishing such an impressive airport in a very short time, calling for the installation of an Instrument Landing System and other navigational instruments to aid flight movements at the airport.

He said the validation of the procedure is to facilitate the arrival of aircraft at the airport, expressing hope that with the level of work done, it would become a destination for airplanes soon.

“The runway is long and large enough to accommodate any type of aircraft. The airport would handle diversions from Lagos, Ibadan, and Ilorin.

“We commend the Ogun State government for such a laudable project, and we are prepared to assist as more facilities are installed at the airport,” the NAMA official concluded.

Also speaking, Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Engr. Ade Akinsanya, said the NAMA team has carried out the “23 and the 05” checks and identified the “waypoint,” adding that once the flight check has been completed, it would be developed and made available on the Internet for easy access to the airport.

“This is one of the last elements we need to address to obtain commercial approval,” the Commissioner noted.

Regarding the level of work done at the airport, the Works Commissioner said that while work on any airport around the world is an ongoing process, Gateway International Airport is 97 percent complete, as the control tower, ATC officers, fire fighters, and other necessary facilities have been put in place.
