‘I Was Never Offered ₦500bn’ — Jonathan Denies Alleged Plot to Split South-South Votes Against Peter Obi …Says Report Is False, Baseless, Fabricated Ahead of 2027 Elections Former President Goodluck Jonathan has strongly denied reports alleging that he was offered ₦500 billion to contest the 2027 presidential election as part of a purported plot to divide votes in the South-South and weaken the electoral chances of former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi. Jonathan, in a statement issued through his Special Adviser on Media, Ikechukwu Eze, described the report as false, baseless and deliberately fabricated to drag the former Nigerian leader into unnecessary political controversy ahead of the 2027 general elections. According to Eze, Jonathan was never offered ₦500 billion to join the presidential race, neither did he make any statement claiming that such an offer was made to him. The media aide faulted the publication for failing to provide basic details expected of a credible news report, including where and when Jonathan allegedly made the statement, the identity of the person or group said to have made the offer, and whether there were witnesses or evidence to substantiate the claim. He said the absence of such crucial details showed that the report bore the hallmarks of fabricated news designed to mislead Nigerians and create unnecessary political tension. “Jonathan was never involved in the ‘N500 billion offer to divide the South’s votes against Peter Obi in the 2027 general elections,’” Eze stated. He stressed that the former president had never suggested, publicly or privately, that he was offered money to contest the presidency or undermine the political ambition of any candidate. The statement urged Nigerians to completely disregard the report and exercise greater caution when consuming and sharing politically sensitive information, particularly as political activities gradually intensify ahead of the 2027 general elections. “Nigerians should disregard the report entirely and exercise caution by verifying sensational political claims before circulating them,” Eze said. He warned that election seasons in Nigeria are often accompanied by a rise in misinformation, fabricated reports and false statements attributed to prominent political figures. “The build-up to every election season often witnesses a surge in misinformation and fake attributions. Such reports should not be mistaken for verified facts. “Jonathan has not made any statement suggesting he was offered money to contest the presidency or undermine any candidate,” he added. The denial comes amid growing political speculation over possible alignments, alliances and presidential ambitions ahead of the 2027 elections. Jonathan, who served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015, has continued to feature prominently in political discussions, with occasional speculation surrounding his possible return to the presidential race. However, the former president has not publicly declared an intention to contest the 2027 election. His media office maintained that attempts to associate him with an alleged ₦500 billion political deal or a plot to divide votes against Peter Obi are entirely false and should be treated as misinformation. The statement further called on media organisations, political commentators and members of the public to verify sensational claims before publishing or circulating them, warning that unverified political reports could mislead the public and inflame unnecessary tension. Jonathan’s camp insisted that the former president remains focused on his engagements and should not be dragged into political controversies through fabricated statements or unsupported allegations. @GEJonathan @OfficialAPCNg @officialABAT @PBATMediaCentre

A comic book industry insider tells us that Disney is planning to phase out Marvel's in-house publishing operation and move the line to Webtoon by 2030. The source: "Marvel will be phasing out their publishing to Webtoon by 2030 give or take. That's the word I heard." On DC: "DC was also headed that direction, but are going all in on Absolute Batman." Cosmic Book News is separately hearing the same from its own insider — that Disney is "less interested in publishing" and is looking to license out Marvel Comics rather than produce it in-house. Marvel Comics has been a publishing operation since 1939. They've been firing a lot of their top executives. If the physical Marvel comic ends by 2030, do you follow it to Webtoon?

Ah, that famous Publishing Diversity, where everyone’s saying the same thing.

Hollywood is over. Big publishing is over. Galleries and museums are returning to the work and the artefact. Smaller publishers, theatre groups and artists are thriving. The failure of progressivism is not merely that it is wrong, but that it is boring. And this, above all, is unforgivable.

There is no professional integrity in publishing this egotistical shite. @Keir_Starmer is a delusional liar.

Aside from the lies, the fact that someone who started publishing a fic in dec-january for a new fandom already getting a book deal so quickly is very concerning for how tuned into fandoms editors/publishers are (not totally surprised but still???)

from telling us he’s been writing but not feeling confident enough to share to sharing on social media to publishing oh my sh i’m so proud of you and your beautiful heart

Spy and Villain by Joy Lilley, is a compelling short story that has touched readers with its poignant blend of suspense, compassion, and quiet heroism, earning praise for its heartfelt portrayal of observation, empathy, and the triumph of kindness over suspicion in a tale infused with gentle Christian themes. This concise yet impactful narrative centers on Mavis, a physically handicapped woman confined to a wheelchair following an unfortunate accident, who spends her days discreetly observing the world from behind her curtains. When she becomes convinced that her neighbor across the road is enduring abuse—marked by troubling signs and the woman's eventual disappearance—Mavis refuses to dismiss her instincts, even as her husband brushes off her concerns. Determined to uncover the truth, Mavis transforms into an unlikely "spy," venturing beyond her home to befriend the vulnerable woman, leading to a dramatic revelation that proves her right and forges a meaningful, supportive friendship amid ongoing distress. Readers have appreciated the story's emotional warmth and moral depth despite its brevity. An Amazon reviewer shared, “A charming short story... the lady in the wheelchair who spends much of her time looking at others through her window,” highlighting its engaging premise. Another noted the Christian undertones that guide the protagonist's actions toward redemption and connection, with one calling it “a tale of a spy... proved to be right. And becomes a friend of the abused woman.” Promotional features on blogs like Book Marketing Global Network and Something or Other Publishing emphasize its dramatic turn and themes of suspicion turning to solidarity, while its availability on Kindle Unlimited has helped it reach fans of inspirational short fiction. With a solid 3.6-star average on Amazon from early readers, it stands out for its relatable character and uplifting resolution. @joygerken zurl.co/QtnUr zurl.co/BMtoS zurl.co/xjm2r zurl.co/tAd7M zurl.co/EOzox zurl.co/bKdq6 Joy M. Lilley, a British author and retired registered nurse (real name Joy Gerken), has built a devoted following with her empathetic, character-focused stories that draw from life's challenges and triumphs. Residing in Kent—the garden of England—and a proud grandmother, her nursing background at places like the Royal Victoria Hospital lends authentic insight into human vulnerability, which shines in her diverse works spanning romance, historical fiction, contemporary drama, and short tales. Acclaimed titles include *Figs, Vines and Roses*, *The Liberty Bodice*, *Time's Pendulum Swings Again*, *Strawberry Moon*, *Joyful Pussy Cat Tales*, and *Bleeds When Broken*. Reviewers commend her graceful handling of sensitive topics, with one praising her ability to weave “compelling narratives around complex issues.” Inspired by family, faith, and her peaceful surroundings, Lilley connects warmly with readers through her blog and social media, offering stories that inspire reflection and hope. Spy and Villain is a touching inspirational short story, its themes of vigilance, friendship, and faith-driven compassion affirming its appeal for readers seeking quick, meaningful reads with heart. Joy M. Lilley’s skillful blend of suspense and tenderness makes this compact gem a shining example of her compassionate storytelling legacy.

Thanks to everyone who attended the Plough Young Writers Conferences hosted in the Hudson Valley, NY and East Sussex, UK. They were gatherings of university students and young professionals interested in writing, publishing, and Christian community. The aim of the weekend was to explore the big questions together: What gives life meaning and purpose? How can we live well together? In addition, students learned the inner workings of the magazine publishing industry and were given professional advice on their own writing. (Photos from the conference hosted at @TheMountAcademy.)

Hi, friends! A new week begins with a new wave of attacks on the truth we're publishing. Supporters of the "regime" continue to flood our accounts with complaints.

My bro, i hope you have confirmed the authenticity of this publication before publishing it? I want the best for you o

Shut Up ghonchu, enough of the nonsense. Show us exactly where the "missing link" is. Stop spreading lies and half-baked narratives. If you're a journalist, do your homework before publishing fake stories.
