Tensions between the US, Israel, and Iran are driving oil prices up around the world. In Nigeria, pump prices have shot past ₦1,000 per litre and could climb to ₦1,500 if the conflict drags on.

Iran and Israel have long been at odds, so clashes were almost inevitable. What puzzles many is Iran’s willingness to target Arab neighbours like the UAE and Saudi Arabia. These proxy skirmishes could escalate or subside at any time.

For now, Nigerians feel the pinch at the filling station. If not for the Dangote Refinery coming on stream, prices might already be above ₦2,000 per litre. The bigger question is how long this geopolitical spiral will last and what it means for our economy.

AMBO Media accuses Governor Ademola Adeleke’s office of recycling old allegations against Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO) to mask its governance failures. They point to recent defections from Adeleke’s team as proof of eroding confidence.

The statement challenges the administration to publish reports from years of investigative panels and answer key questions about nearly N1 trillion in state revenue, 114 missing tractors, and large office expenses. It also defends AMBO’s record at OSICOL, NIWA and as Osun’s Commissioner for Finance.

AMBO Media calls on voters to judge candidates on facts and performance rather than propaganda. With the August 15 election approaching, they insist Osun people deserve transparent, people-centered leadership.

I clarify the true stance of Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Obimma, also known as Fada Ebube Muonso, on Governor Charles Soludo’s demolition of the Onitsha Main Market. Some have misread his words, but he speaks from sincerity and deep concern for his people.

Fada Ebube Muonso balances rebuke and praise. He warned about insecurity in Anambra and later welcomed the improved security during last Christmas’s homecoming. He now acknowledges that the market demolition followed careful talks between government and traders and may yield long-term benefits despite short-term sacrifices.

His message is clear: leadership needs both accountability and commendation. His voice is driven by genuine love for Anambra, not politics. Constructive criticism and sincere praise are both essential for the state’s lasting growth.

Expected to draw delegates, party elders, NEC members, and observers from across Nigeria, the convention remains a pivotal event for major party decisions and the PDP’s future direction. The NCWC expressed confidence that the stadium’s Velodrome can host a successful and inclusive gathering.

The program focused on the ongoing membership registration and revalidation exercise. It also provided clear insights into the new Electoral Act. Over one thousand party members and new entrants joined the session under the coordination of ADC leaders in Nnewi North.

Amb. Ikebunwa commended the party’s commitment to transparent processes and strong internal democracy. He urged residents to take part in the exercise and help shape the future of the constituency.

Anambra used to lose over eight billion naira every Monday to the sit-at-home order. The Special Adviser on Trade and Markets, Hon. Evarist Uba, praised Governor Soludo for new access roads in all major markets and the clearance of the Ochanja Roundabout refuse dump. These moves, he said, will help end the shutdown soon.

He noted that reopening Onitsha Main Market and Nnewi Auto Spare Parts Market sent a strong warning to other traders. Anyone who defies market rules now faces similar sanctions.

Since 2023, peace has returned to markets under the adviser’s leadership. Caretaker committee chairs must now be traders with identifiable shops. This ensures they know and protect traders’ interests while enforcing revenue collection.

Governor Soludo has also relocated three markets and plans a new Market Law to keep order. His goal is to make Anambra a top trading destination rather than a mere passage point.

Oil prices have climbed above ₦1,000 amid growing conflict between the US, Israel and Iran. Some observers focus on missile power and casualty figures, but the real concern is the impact on the global economy.

If hostilities continue, Nigerian pump prices could hit ₦1,500 or more. Thanks to the Dangote Refinery, we have some relief, but without it prices might breach ₦2,000.

Iran and Israel have been adversaries for decades, so a direct clash was always possible. Yet Iran’s strikes on Gulf neighbours like the UAE and Saudi Arabia raise big questions. How and when these proxy wars will end remains unclear, and global powers will play a key role.

CNN reports oil prices are falling after President Trump declared the war “will soon be over.” Perhaps his most sensible comment to date.

Iran’s arsenal of low-cost drones and missiles has reshaped modern warfare. Critics argue these weapons can sink the U.S. Navy’s largest ships, including ageing aircraft carriers, and devastate key targets across the region.

Now Trump hopes for a quick end to the conflict, but many wonder if he’s already conceded defeat. As some say, “Iran don show am who be boss for the Middle East.”

Ambassador Ikebunwa Lotanna, frontline ADC aspirant for Nnewi North, Nnewi South and Ekwusigo Federal Constituency, hosted ward and local government executives at his country home in Nnewichi. The meeting gathered leaders from all three LGAs to chart a course for stronger party structures ahead of the 2027 general elections.

He unveiled a development blueprint focused on quality representation, empowerment initiatives and sustained human capital growth.

A successful real estate entrepreneur and former Special Assistant on Grassroots Mobilization to the late Senator Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, Amb. Lotanna’s people-centered approach and consistent investments in party structures have won him growing support. Many party faithful now view him as ADC’s most credible standard-bearer for the constituency.

Daniel Bwala, Presidential Spokesperson on Policy Communication, says Al Jazeera cut nearly 20 minutes from his Head to Head interview with Mehdi Hasan to push a misleading narrative.

He recalls the session on February 11, 2026 was meant to run for one hour and 20 minutes. When it aired online on March 5, only 49 minutes were shown. An 8-minute highlight later joined selective clips that lacked crucial context.

Al Jazeera had told him the full program would air on TV first but blamed global news events for not doing so. Bwala insists the network publish the unedited footage to set the record straight.

Daniel Bwala, Presidential Spokesperson on Policy Communication to President Tinubu, says Al Jazeera cut out critical parts of his recent interview. He claims the network aired only 49 of the original 80 minutes and later released an 8-minute segment that misrepresented his answers.

Bwala says the full interview was meant to run for one hour and 20 minutes. He alleges the edits amplified certain points while omitting key context. He had been assured the complete video would air on TV before going online but was told breaking global news prevented this.

He is now demanding that Al Jazeera publish the unedited footage to set the record straight and restore proper context to his statements.

President Bola Tinubu told religious and traditional leaders at an interfaith iftar in Abuja on March 9 that Nigeria’s economy has ‘turned the corner.’ He said no state is now running to banks for salary loans and that the country has been saved from bankruptcy.

He expressed gratitude for the mandate to serve, vowed to sustain growth, and noted that pensioners are receiving relief payments. Tinubu also assured Nigerians that despite terrorist threats, the nation will not waver in its unity and peace.

Israel’s Ambassador to Nigeria, Michael Freeman, has renewed accusations that Iran sponsors terrorism worldwide, including in Nigeria. He says Tehran’s support for militant groups is well documented and cannot be dismissed by denials.

Freeman pointed to Iran’s backing of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis. He added that Iranian operatives have been linked to attacks from Argentina to the United Kingdom.

The ambassador recalled a 2010 arms shipment seized at Lagos’s Apapa Port and a 2013 raid that uncovered weapons tied to Hezbollah in Abuja and Kano. He also claimed that Iran has long supported the Islamic Movement of Nigeria.

Israel released the statement to challenge what it called misinformation about Iran’s global activities. It warned that terrorism threatens stability in Nigeria and beyond.

We refuse to accept the status quo in our region. The United States and the Israeli regime will no longer threaten us.

This war will continue until they recognize that attacking Iran is not an option. Even if they back down, they must pay compensation for the slaughter we have endured.

Gulf dictatorships—Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman—cannot hide behind US bases. Those outposts have been used to conspire against and kill Iranians, Yemenis, and Lebanese.

Our struggle will shift the balance of power. The Axis of Resistance will no longer hang over us like a sword. That sword must be broken—and it will be, God willing.

Leaders of the Third Phase Presidential Amnesty Programme beneficiaries from Bayelsa and Delta States have rejected General Elaye Slaboh’s claim that only Government Ekpemupolo (Tompolo) can handle the Niger Delta pipeline surveillance contract.

They said the region is blessed with many skilled ex-agitators, security experts, and community-based surveillance groups capable of protecting critical oil infrastructure. They warned that suggesting a monopoly by one person undermines the collective sacrifices of other beneficiaries.

The leaders reminded stakeholders that the amnesty programme was designed to reintegrate and empower thousands of former militants. They urged transparent, inclusive arrangements that involve all trained ex-agitators in security initiatives.

They called for unity among ex-agitators and community leaders. They also appealed to each community to take responsibility for securing its own pipelines.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has urged Nigerians to actively engage and hold their elected representatives to account. He described the Senate as a “workshop of solutions” rather than just a forum for debate.

Akpabio highlighted that while social media can amplify noise, the legislative process addresses real problems and turns public concerns into policy. He encouraged citizens to bring their grievances directly to their senators.

Speaking at the resumption of plenary after committee work, he reminded lawmakers that the nation’s life never pauses. He called representation a living covenant between the people and those they elect.

He also stressed the importance of the national budget as a declaration of national intention. He urged senators to place the country’s interest above politics and to deploy resources to strengthen institutions and improve lives.

The committee met with stadium officials and local organizers to align on logistics and infrastructure. They stressed the importance of thorough planning for a peaceful and successful gathering of delegates and stakeholders.

CNN reports that global oil prices slipped after former President Trump declared the conflict “will soon be over.”

Observers note that Iran’s new generation of inexpensive drones and missiles—costing around $20,000 each—pose a serious threat to the US fleet of multi-billion-dollar aircraft carriers and warships.

With these cheap, high-impact weapons on display, many argue Iran has shifted the balance of power in the Middle East and forced a change in US strategy.

The Electoral Act 2026 builds on the 2022 law to block last-minute defections after party primaries. Parties must submit a digital membership register 21 days before any primary. No new names are allowed once INEC “freezes” the register.

The law also bans multiple nominations and imposes prison terms of up to two years for anyone who tries. Candidate substitution is only allowed for death or written withdrawal, and parties must hold fresh primaries within 14 days.

Registering in more than one party now carries a fine of at least ₦100,000 or one year in jail. INEC will sync your party membership with your NIN data. Any candidate whose name isn’t on the April register can’t run in 2027.

INEC’s revised timetable aligns with these rules. Key deadlines include register submission (April 1–21, 2026) and party primaries (April 23–May 30). The new law forces politicians to pick one party at least nine months before election day.

In light of recent debates over the Onitsha Main Market demolition, Fada Ebube Muonso stands out as a voice of sincerity and care. He speaks not out of sentiment but out of deep concern for Anambra State’s development.

As a spiritual father, he corrects when things go wrong and praises when things go right. He openly raised concerns about insecurity in the state and later acknowledged clear improvements. The massive homecoming during Christmas showed renewed confidence among Anambrarians.

Regarding the market demolition, discussions were held between the government and market leaders beforehand. Such decisions may be uncomfortable, but they aim at long-term public good. Sacrifices are sometimes necessary for progress.

Fada Ebube Muonso’s remarks come from a genuine passion for peace, security, and growth. His consistent call for both constructive criticism and sincere praise is a reminder that truth and guidance must lead our path forward.

Founder-in-Chief Seyi Tinubu has inaugurated state coordinators for the pro-administration group Relax, Tinubu Is Fixing Nigeria (RTIFN). The Abuja ceremony marked the formal launch of coordinators across the 36 states and the FCT, aiming to bridge the gap between government policies and citizens.

In his welcome address, National Coordinator Hon. Ahmed Bala relayed Tinubu’s apologies for his absence and hailed the new appointees as the backbone of RTIFN’s network. He urged them to uphold the organisation’s values, ensure effective communication, and foster unity in support of the Renewed Hope Agenda.

Matron Hajiya Ramatu Tijjani Aliyu praised President Tinubu’s economic reforms—from fuel subsidy removal to tax and exchange rate stabilisation—and encouraged Nigerians to trust the process. National Secretary Dr. Felix Arome emphasised the group’s role in countering misinformation and promoting accurate policy information.

The event included an oath-taking ceremony, briefings on RTIFN’s structure, and contributions from dignitaries such as Senator Osita Izunaso, Comrade Sunday Ashefon, and Nollywood veteran Zack Orji. RTIFN says it will continue to grow its grassroots network to deepen public engagement with the Renewed Hope Agenda.

Oil prices are rising fast. Some people focus on which country has the deadliest attacks or the longest-range missiles.

If the war continues, oil could soon exceed 1,500 naira. Today it is already above 1,000 naira. Without the Dangote Refinery, prices might hit 2,000 naira.

Iran and Israel have been enemies since day one. The conflict was bound to flare up. It was only a matter of time before a direct strike.

But why is Iran targeting its Arab neighbours now? Why send missiles at the UAE and Saudi Arabia? These proxy wars will end eventually, but no one knows when.
