Acclaimed coach Rick Macci believes Canada’s rising star Victoria Mboko can reach the WTA top five by 2026. The former mentor to Serena and Venus Williams has praised her rapid climb.

Less than 15 months ago, Mboko sat outside the top 300. In 2025 she cracked the top 100 and won the Canadian Open. Wins at the WTA 1000 and Hong Kong events then lifted her into the top 20.

Now 19 and ranked world No. 10, she has already reached finals at the Adelaide International and Qatar Open this season. Her rapid progress has caught global attention.

Macci took to X to predict further breakthroughs. He says Mboko will soon contend for Grand Slam titles and make her mark on the biggest stages.

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Deputy Governor Dr. Obafemi Hamzat joined sanitation workers in Mushin today. They cleared heaps of refuse and engaged residents on cleaner streets.

The exercise signals the relaunch of the monthly environmental sanitation across Lagos. It will officially resume on the last Saturday of every month from April 25, 2026, 6:30 am–8:30 am.

Many praise the hands-on approach. Others want more dustbins, better waste collection, and long-term fixes.

What do you think—genuine effort or just optics? Share your thoughts below.

Police College Oji River in Enugu State was founded in 1972 to train constables for the Nigeria Police Force. Today, this key institution lies in ruin, with broken-down buildings, overgrown courts, and dirt roads that resemble village paths.

During a recent passing-out parade for Anambra State recruits, visitors found derelict facilities everywhere—from a weed-choked tennis court to a deroofed squash hall. Trainees drill on uneven fields, and snakes slither through the tall grasses. Even the busy Mammy Market fails to meet basic standards.

Police leaders and South-East governors have been urged to act. President Tinubu has appointed a committee to oversee rehabilitation, but urgent repairs are needed now. Restoring roads, buildings, and training grounds is vital to ensure Nigeria’s police officers receive the professional foundation they deserve.

Nigeria’s amended Electoral Act 2026 has dropped certificate forgery as a ground for post‑election petitions, drawing sharp pushback from lawyers, analysts, and stakeholders. INEC confirms the change and says forgery disputes now fall under pre‑election matters.

Section 138 limits challenges to corrupt practices, non‑compliance with the Act, or not being duly elected by a majority of lawful votes. Acts that only breach INEC directives do not qualify. Petitions filed on unrecognised grounds attract fines of at least N5m for counsel and N10m for petitioners. Section 139 keeps elections valid where substantial compliance is proven.

SAN Jibrin Okutepa calls the move an outrage and argues that qualifications are constitutional, not for ordinary law to weaken. PDP’s Aminu Yakudima and former IPAC chair Peter Ameh say the change undermines merit, education, and accountability in leadership.

Ex‑lawmaker Bernard Mikko counters that the Constitution already covers qualifications, so the core legal position stands unless it is amended. INEC urges parties to thoroughly vet candidates’ credentials ahead of 2027, as forgery claims should be resolved before elections.

Even though World Kidney Day has passed, the reminder is still vital.

At RVS, we see how HIV treatment saves lives every day. Some drugs, like tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, can affect kidney function over time. That is why regular checkups and monitoring are so important. Other modern ARVs are much safer for the kidneys.

Studies from PubMed, Medscape, and the Infectious Diseases Society of America highlight the need for ongoing awareness. Research from African cohorts also shows that kidney monitoring can prevent long-term complications.

Every step we take—from delivering medications to ensuring patient access—protects health in many ways. At RVS, we are committed to reaching people with the care and support they deserve. Each time someone receives proper care, the future of health awareness grows brighter.

Fertilizer choice shapes soil health, yield, and farm profits in Nigeria. Organic manure feeds soil structure, water retention, and microbial life over time. Chemical fertilizers supply nutrients fast but can degrade soil and cut long-term yields.

This article compares productivity, costs, and environmental impact over one and five seasons. It highlights integrated soil fertility management (ISFM)—combining organic manure, measured NPK, and legume rotation—as a climate-smart strategy.

Follow practical steps: apply organic manure before planting, reduce chemical rates based on soil tests, and rotate with legumes. What approach works best on your farm?

Nigerian-Canadian philanthropist Hon. Oliver Okennah has called on youth in Ebenebe, Awka North LGA, Anambra State to take up agriculture as a solution to food insecurity and rising commodity prices. He made the appeal during the Egwu Alusi festival, held from March 5–9, 2026, which marks the start of the planting season and promotes healthy living.

Okennah, founder of the Mother Sussan Charity Foundation and 2024 NUJ Anambra State Most Innovative Entrepreneur of the Year, emphasized that farming is not just about growing crops but about cultivating hope and shaping human character. He urged young people to avoid idleness and explore agricultural practices like crop cultivation and animal husbandry.

He highlighted that agriculture underpins civilization, wealth creation, and environmental balance. Through his EBENEBE FOOD SUFFICIENCY AND SURPLUS CAMPING INITIATIVE, his foundation has distributed seedlings for four consecutive years. Okennah appealed for partnerships and support to make ‘Ala Igbo’ food sufficient and sustainable.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has challenged Nigerians and the media to look beyond the federal level. He urged them to hold state and local governments accountable for their budgets and development plans.

Speaking at an Iftar with media executives in Abuja, Tinubu noted that allocations now go directly to local councils. He encouraged citizens to monitor how those funds are used.

His remarks have sparked online debate. Some agree that local governments must deliver results. Others insist the federal government still bears the greatest responsibility.

2026 marks a turning point for Nigerian retail. Social commerce on platforms like TikTok and WhatsApp is reshaping the e-commerce funnel. Global social commerce sales are set to top $100 billion this year, with Nigeria driving growth in Africa.

Yet a Trust Gap remains. Over 37 million Nigerians spend four hours daily on social media. Many still avoid high-value DM transactions due to fraud risks. Sellers are now adopting a hybrid model—using social media for discovery and structured marketplaces for secure payments.

This hybrid strategy delivers searchable listings, digital tax compliance, and clear pricing. I invite you to share your experiences. Do you trust structured platforms more than DM deals? Are “Price in DM” sales declining? Will the new tax rules end informal WhatsApp selling?

The Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy has launched a public consultation on plans to introduce age limits for social media use. The survey invites parents, teachers, young people and digital experts to share their views. 

The goal is to create a balanced policy framework. It will protect children from cyberbullying, harmful content, online exploitation and data misuse. It will also preserve the educational and social benefits of internet access. 

Minister Bosun Tijani emphasized that strong age-verification systems, platform accountability and tighter oversight are under consideration. Public participation will help shape the final regulations.

Let’s be honest. The word “investment” in Nigeria has been abused. From Ponzi schemes to unrealistic ROI promises, many people have been burned.

Before you put money into cocoa or oil palm opportunities, verify these seven critical factors: land ownership, inspection rights, company registration, realistic timelines, a clear farm management plan, transparent risk discussion, and projected—not guaranteed—returns.

Remember that perennial crops reward patience. Cocoa takes 3–5 years to yield. Oil palm needs 2–3 years. Commodity prices may fluctuate but rarely collapse permanently, since these goods remain in demand.

True investment means owning assets with production value, land value, and export relevance. Ask yourself: are you chasing hope or structured productivity? That distinction matters.

We resist spiritual storms not by standing in open fields but by driving our roots deep into God’s perfect will.

We return deliberately to soul-anchoring disciplines. We read Scripture as a genuine encounter, not a duty. We pray from dependence, not ritual. We embrace honest community, not mere social warmth.

In these last days, we keep reminding ourselves and one another who God is and what He has done. We cultivate faith daily, guarding it with conviction and humility.

Prayer: Father, help me drive my roots deep into Your Word and presence. I will stand firm in my faith, no matter the storm. I renounce superficiality and choose to be rooted in Your truth. Amen.

He was first taken to a private hospital in Alakuko, Lagos, before being referred to a facility in Ikeja for further treatment. Details about the shooting remain limited.

Lagos State police spokesperson Abimbola Adebisi said the hospital alerted officers after receiving a gunshot victim. They identified him as Broda Shaggi upon arrival, according to a report by The Sun.

Healthcare is one of the most important sectors affecting well-being and quality of life. Hospitals and clinics across Nigeria diagnose illnesses, treat patients, and handle emergencies every day. Yet public opinion on hospital care varies widely.

Many Nigerians rely on public hospitals, private clinics, teaching hospitals, and specialist centres. Some facilities offer top-quality care with skilled doctors and modern equipment. Others struggle with overcrowding, long waits, shortages of supplies, outdated tools, and limited funding.

The migration of healthcare professionals abroad adds to these challenges. Staff shortages can affect service delivery and patient outcomes. What has been your experience with medical care in Nigerian hospitals?

After years of litigation, the Supreme Court of Nigeria has ruled in favour of a group of military veterans in their dispute with the Nigerian Army. The judgment confirms their entitlement to Plot 2303 Asokoro Cad A04 and restores Major General Ibrahim Sani’s rank.

The case, filed as SC/1497C/2019, challenged the Special Court Martial’s earlier conviction and property decisions. Justice Obande Festus Ogbuinya, writing for a five-member panel, dismissed the Army’s appeal and affirmed the Court of Appeal’s order for retrial.

Veterans and their families celebrated the ruling as a vindication of their service and sacrifices. Legal observers say the decision reinforces the courts’ role in protecting service members’ welfare and sets an important precedent for post-service entitlements.

A dramatic incident unfolded in Anambra State when operatives of the Agunechemba Security Outfit arrested a popular native doctor known as Mmuo Mmili Afuluanya.

He was escorted to his shrine and ordered to demonstrate the spiritual powers he had long claimed. Witnesses say he invoked a deity called “Eze Nwanyi” but no supernatural event occurred.

His failed incantations left him visibly disappointed before he was returned to custody. The exercise was part of a wider security operation launched by Governor Charles Soludo.

Online reactions have poured in, with many Nigerians debating the credibility of self-proclaimed witch doctors and the state’s growing crackdown on alleged ritual practices.

The Ogun State Government has presented a ₦500 million cheque to the Ogun State Cooperatives Federation Limited (OGSCOFED) to bolster local businesses and the grassroots economy. The Commissioner for Community Development and Cooperatives, Hon. Ademola Balogun, said the fund is a strategic investment in human capital and aligns with Governor Dapo Abiodun’s ISEYA agenda to create sustainable wealth.

He charged beneficiaries to use the funds judiciously and warned against diverting capital into non-productive ventures. He commended OGSCOFED’s non-partisan approach and urged continued collaboration and support for the administration’s programmes to advance the Gateway State.

Permanent Secretary, Mr. Lateef Benson, noted the gesture will strengthen self-help institutions and empower MSMEs through cooperative societies. OGSCOFED President, Alh. Wasiu Olaleye, thanked the State and pledged fair distribution across the three senatorial districts, with prudent use and timely repayment.

I’ve always seen people talk about affiliate marketing online, but I never fully understood how it works. So I finally decided to research it properly.

I learned that affiliate marketing is a business model where you promote someone else’s digital product and earn a commission on each sale through your referral link. This means no inventory, no delivery stress, and no need to create your own product. For example, if a product sells for $50 and the commission is 50%, you earn $25 per sale.

The main challenge is finding the right audience and learning how to promote products effectively online. I have started testing some strategies myself.

For those with experience in online business, do you think affiliate marketing can become a serious venture in Nigeria? Or is it still underrated here?

At the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Honourable Justice Fashola granted bail to Dr. John Abebe of Joje Fertility Centre Limited. He was arraigned on three counts brought by the Inspector General of Police and pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Dr. Abebe’s counsel, Marvin Omorogbe, Esq., applied for bail on liberal terms. The court approved the application, and Dr. Abebe has since met all conditions and returned home to his family.

The charges follow a petition by Mr. Hassan Turaki alleging improper disclosure of his wife’s medical report. Joje Fertility Centre denied the claims as a smear campaign. The case is now adjourned for the prosecution to open its evidence.

I am prompted by the Ruach to expose the church’s misbelief about modern Israel. Many preachers and organizations have embraced Zionism and confused the political state with biblical Israel.

Biblical Israel began with Jacob’s covenant with YHVH. It was a faith nation under Torah law. The modern State of Israel, founded in 1948, is a secular democracy shaped by international politics.

I will show two key points: First, 1948 Israel is not ancient Israel. Second, today’s true Israel is found in Christ by faith. Stay tuned for more teaching on these fallacies and their spiritual implications.
