Taylor Swift has officially become the world’s richest female musician, surpassing Rihanna with a net worth of $1.6 billion. This new milestone comes on the heels of her record-breaking Eras Tour and the continued success of her music catalog.

Swift’s wealth, largely built through recordings and live performances, places her ahead of Rihanna, whose net worth is $1.4 billion. She is now only behind Jay-Z, whose fortune stands at $2.5 billion.

Forbes estimates Swift’s assets include $600 million from royalties and another $600 million from her music catalog, along with $125 million from her real estate holdings. Swift’s ability to reach billionaire status through her music alone sets her apart in the industry.

Tension has gripped Bature community in Ondo State after the alleged killing of a youth leader, Faturoti Eric, during an altercation with personnel from the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).

The incident reportedly occurred during a raid by NSCDC officers attempting to make an unlawful arrest. Community members resisted, leading to the officers opening fire, resulting in Eric’s death.

A statement by a community leader, Sekoni, called for justice and urged Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa to intervene. They warned of potential protests if no action is taken.

The NSCDC, however, denied wrongdoing, claiming their officers were attacked while trying to apprehend illegal miners and acted in self-defense. NSCDC spokesperson Daniel Aidamenbor promised further details after an investigation.

The federal government has given the green light for the construction of an airstrip at Canaanland, the headquarters of Living Faith Church Worldwide, commonly referred to as Winners Chapel, located in Ota, Ogun State.

Bishop David Oyedepo shared this exciting news with his congregation during the special Tehillah Night service held at the church’s premises.

He emphasized that the airstrip’s primary purpose is to enhance transportation for worshippers and visitors, especially during major events like Shiloh.

With this new development, attendees will have the convenience of landing directly at the church grounds, eliminating the need to travel to a nearby airport first.

This means that church members will now have the opportunity to land their aircraft and park them right at Canaanland, making it easier for them to attend services and events.

Bishop Oyedepo also highlighted that the entire project will be funded privately by the church, underscoring their commitment to self-sufficiency and infrastructure development.

The church aims to create a more efficient transportation system that aligns with their growing needs and ambitions.

While the exact timeline for the completion of the airstrip has not been disclosed, church leaders have reassured the congregation that the construction will proceed promptly, adhering to all necessary aviation standards.

This project is a significant step forward for Living Faith Church and reflects their dedication to providing excellent facilities for their members and guests.

As this initiative unfolds, it is expected to greatly enhance the experience for all who come to worship at Canaanland.
