Air Canada has announced that Michael Rousseau will step down as CEO by the end of the third quarter. The decision follows criticism of his English-only condolence message after a fatal LaGuardia Airport crash.

Canada is officially bilingual, and both the Prime Minister and Quebec officials called for a leader who speaks French and English. Rousseau had delivered his message in English with only French subtitles, sparking calls for greater sensitivity.

The October crash involved an Air Canada Jazz flight from Montreal colliding with a fire truck upon landing. Two pilots lost their lives. Canada’s Transport Minister thanked Rousseau for his service and emphasized the airline’s commitment to safe, reliable, and bilingual operations.

Observers say the episode highlights ongoing debates about language in Canadian public life. Some argue bilingualism is crucial for a national carrier, while others stress that safety and reliability must come first.

Reports from Osun State say a group of prophets unexpectedly visited the Osun-Osogbo Sacred Shrine to cast out negative spirits. Traditional worshippers saw this as disrespectful.

Days later, a band of traditionalists entered the prophets’ church and carried out rituals and sacrifices in retaliation. Videos online show both groups performing ceremonies and prayers.

The incident has sparked mixed reactions nationwide. Some defend the prophets’ initial actions, while others view the church ritual as an unnecessary provocation.

Many Nigerians are calling for mutual respect among faiths and peaceful coexistence in a diverse society.

At a dinner for Rivers State PDP and APC stakeholders held at the FCT Minister’s residence, Barr Ezenwo Nyesom Wike stated he has not endorsed any state candidate. He explained that candidate adoption must follow a decision by the state elders and party leaders.

He noted that his sole endorsement so far remains President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Wike praised members of both parties for setting aside their differences and coming together in unity.

Event photos from the gathering were also shared.

In a world focused on geopolitical tensions, a surprising story is unfolding in Iran. While Christians faced restrictions at some holy sites in Jerusalem, believers in Tehran, Tabriz and Urmia still gathered openly for Palm Sunday.

I observed that even amid sanctions and regional threats, these communities continue to celebrate their traditions in public. Their presence challenges the common image of uniform religious repression.

It raises a question: are we reacting to facts or to narratives shaped by fear? For decades, fear has been a powerful tool in global politics and selective media coverage.

I’m not defending any government. I’m urging us to look deeper and question the simple, one-sided stories we’re told.

The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) at Federal Polytechnic Oko has urged urgent reforms to eliminate discrimination between HND and BSc holders in Nigeria.

At its 2026 International Hybrid Conference themed “Recalibrating Polytechnic Education for Sustainable Development,” ASUP leaders highlighted how the HND-BSc dichotomy restricts career progression, employment and postgraduate access for diploma graduates. They also pointed to poor funding and low market preference as critical challenges.

Speakers called on the Federal Ministry of Education and the National Board for Technical Education to revamp curricula, boost ICT infrastructure and foster industry partnerships. A communiqué with policy proposals will be sent to the federal government to drive these reforms.

Former Ekiti governor Ayo Fayose drops a bombshell on Peter Obi’s presidential ambitions. He argues that a hidden system within the PDP and APC will make Obi’s 2027 bid almost impossible.

In this analysis, we break down:
- Why Fayose thinks the opposition is already out of contention
- The debate over Obi’s move to Accord versus sticking with ADC/Labour
- The Tinubu administration’s influence on the upcoming race
- The role of internal saboteurs, dubbed the “Children of Perdition,” in clearing the path for a single-party dominance

As Nigeria approaches a pivotal election, tune in for our final verdict on whether the “Peter Obi Factor” can withstand the political machinery.

The recent attack in Jos exposes our leadership failures. Leaders prioritize politics over the protection of lives. They squander public resources on pre-election jamborees and coronation plans. Posterity will judge those who once condemned violence but now enable it.

I believe in the power of prayer, but prayer cannot replace responsibility. We need humane leaders with empathy. These current rulers show none. It’s depressingly exhausting to watch their indifference.

We stand with the families who lost loved ones. We pray they find the strength to bear this irreparable loss.

To those who defend this failed leadership for the crumbs they offer, please express your irritation with good grammar. Even if I disagree with your stance, I will appreciate your mastery of words.

Asia’s crude oil shipments from Europe and major West African producers are set to increase by about 200,000 barrels per day in March, lifting total imports to roughly 3.72 million bpd, according to data from industry trackers.

Tensions around Iran have effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, cutting an estimated 10 million barrels per day from global supply and sending benchmarks sharply higher. The Dubai price hit a record $169.75 per barrel, surpassing the 2008 Brent peak, as buyers bid up scarce cargoes.

Analysts at a leading investment bank warn that stronger Asian demand is crowding out European flows. U.S. Midland crude is trading at an unprecedented $9.50 premium to Brent for Europe, while North Sea Forties crude commands a $7.20 premium amid tight prompt supply.

Nigeria’s state oil company has boosted exports, sending 950,000 barrels of its new Cawthorne Blend via the country’s first new export terminal in five decades. The shift underlines how geopolitical strains are reshaping global oil routes and driving prices to historic highs.

I noticed recruiters often spend less than 10 seconds on a CV. If yours isn’t getting callbacks, it’s usually formatting, not your skills.

My quick checklist for both Nigerian roles and remote positions:
1. Start with a 2–3 line summary: role, years, niche and a key result.
2. List your skills above experience and mirror the job description.
3. Limit each role to 3–6 bullets. Begin with a verb and an outcome.
4. Use numbers: “reduced processing time by 20%,” “served 50+ customers weekly.”
5. Remove “responsible for.” Highlight results instead.
6. Fill gaps with projects, freelance or volunteer work—no excuses.
7. Tailor one CV per role type. Avoid mixing fields.
8. Early in your career? Lead with projects and brief descriptions.
9. Keep formatting ATS-friendly: no tables or graphics.
10. Add a one-line tools stack: Excel, Power BI, Figma, Python, etc.
11. Include your location and remote-ready status: “Lagos • Open to remote.”
12. Proofread the first 10 lines like your career depends on it.

Drop your job title and years of experience (no phone or email) and I’ll suggest three bullets to refine first. If you’d like a quick draft to start from, just let me know.

The Senate has approved an amendment to the 2025 Appropriation Act, shifting the deadline for capital budget implementation from March 31, 2026 to June 30, 2026.

Sponsored by Senate Leader Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, the change reflects concerns that only about 30% of funds released to Ministries, Departments and Agencies have been deployed. Bamidele warned that stalled projects risk becoming abandoned without additional time.

Deputy Senate President Senator Barau Jibrin backed the move, noting it aligns with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda for infrastructure development. He said the extension will promote continuity, strengthen fiscal discipline and support ongoing economic growth.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has given resident NHS doctors 48 hours to accept a proposed pay deal. He accused them of walking away “recklessly” after the doctors’ association announced a six-day walkout starting April 7.

Writing in a national newspaper, Sir Keir warned that rejecting the offer would leave doctors on a standard pay award this year. He said they would miss out on improvements in pay progression and workplace reforms that he believes would strengthen their careers.

The government insists the deal balances fair compensation with long-term support for doctors. Sir Keir said a breakdown in talks serves no one’s interests and urged the medical association to return to negotiations.

Nigeria’s friendly with Jordan ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw.

Alex Iwobi picked up a red card late on for an off-the-ball incident. It was only his second red in 97 caps for the Super Eagles.

The squad showed great depth. Moses Simon scored again and players like Yira Sor and Raphael Onyedika impressed. Emmanuel Fernandez made his first start count with a composed goal and solid defending.

Goalkeeping remains a concern. With Maduka Okoye injured and both Francis Uzoho and Adebayo Adeleye conceding soft goals, Nigeria still needs a clear number one.

Defense lawyers for Tyler Robinson claim the bullet recovered at Charlie Kirk’s autopsy cannot be linked to the rifle prosecutors say he used. Legal documents obtained from a major media outlet reveal that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was unable to match the bullet to Robinson’s alleged weapon in its summary report.

Robinson’s team says prosecutors have not shared the full ATF report at the preliminary hearing. They plan to call the ATF firearm analyst as exculpatory evidence if the report remains undisclosed. The defense also argues there is incomplete forensic testing and has requested full case files and testing protocols before experts can review the evidence.

Prosecutors have provided over 20,000 files, including 61,500 pages, 31 hours of audio and more than 700 hours of video. Robinson’s lawyers estimate they need at least 60 days to review the materials. They have also asked for the trial to be televised, noting that open proceedings help counter misinformation.

Robinson faces charges including aggravated murder and felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury. If convicted, he could face the death penalty.

On March 29, 2026, Angwan Rukuba in Jos was struck by another deadly attack. The Plateau State government imposed a 48-hour curfew while many demanded action from the president.

A foreign observer’s footage of the massacre sparked more controversy than the violence itself. The spotlight shifted away from the victims and onto the cameraman.

We explore why these killings recur every year. We ask if national pride has become a shield for government failure. And we challenge you to consider who should truly be held accountable.

Justice Lauretta Oyeka of the Anambra State High Court in Ogidi has sentenced 37-year-old Chidubem Anawonwa to death by hanging. He was found guilty of murdering his 74-year-old mother, Theresa Anawonwa, in their Umuokokpa Aborji home on April 23, 2019.

Prosecutors presented testimony from five witnesses detailing a history of violence, including physical abuse and threats. On the day of the crime, Chidubem strangled his mother after inflicting multiple bruises, while his niece was locked in another room.

Rejecting his alibi defence, the court upheld the charge under Section 271 of the Criminal Code and delivered the maximum sentence. The state’s legal team was led by Chief State Counsel Obiageli Nwankiti and Principal State Counsel Uju Igboeli.

I recently applied for a UK graduate visa and discovered my Nigerian passport is missing. I need it for a biometric appointment with TLScontact in Newcastle, so I’ve had to postpone the booking.

I’ve learned that a UK provisional driving licence can serve as temporary ID, and I’m in the process of applying for one. Despite this, I’m still worried about my lost passport and need to replace it as soon as possible.

Can anyone guide me on the exact steps to get a replacement Nigerian passport in the UK? Any advice on the right procedure would be greatly appreciated.

Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti has urged his side to blend attacking flair with defensive discipline en route to ending the nation’s 24-year World Cup drought.

Drawing on past triumphs, he highlighted Brazil’s structured setups in 1994 and 2002, noting that conceding fewer goals is as vital as scoring enough. Ancelotti insists a compact backline will protect the team’s stars like Vinícius Júnior and Raphinha under tournament pressure.

With over a year until the USA-Canada-Mexico event, he stressed that modern football rewards organization. “Talent gets you to the dance, but smart, collective defending brings the trophy home,” he said.

The Federal Government has paid just N76.95 billion of the N1.928 trillion budgeted for electricity subsidies in 2025. This 4% release leaves an N1.85 trillion funding gap. Quarterly data from the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission show subsidy obligations of N536.40 billion in Q1, N514.36 billion in Q2, N458.76 billion in Q3 and N418.79 billion in Q4. January 2026 alone requires N126.48 billion.

Analysts warn this underfunding is crippling power generation companies, as they cannot settle gas supplier bills. Reduced fuel supply has led to a noticeable drop in electricity output nationwide.

Experts point to inadequate funding for the Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading Plc as a key issue. Former NDPHC MD Chiedu Ugbo urges stakeholders to move past public debt disputes and work together on solutions. Former NBET MD Rumundaka Wonodi calls on the government to invest in transmission and gas infrastructure, ensure sustainable tariffs and fund NBET properly to stabilise the market.

Chelsea left-back Marc Cucurella has hinted he would find a move back to Barcelona tough to refuse. He told reporters during the international break that an approach from his boyhood club would be hard to ignore, even as he and his family remain happy in London for now.

His remarks add fuel to transfer speculation, especially after teammate Enzo Fernández publicly expressed a desire to play in Madrid. Cucurella’s current contract at Stamford Bridge runs until 2028 and comes with a significant financial package.

The 27-year-old defender spent his youth at Barcelona’s La Masia academy and made a brief senior appearance during their 2017–18 Copa del Rey campaign. Since his €65 million move to Chelsea in 2022, he has cemented his place as Spain’s first-choice left-back and attracted interest from his former club.

Dozens of civilians have been killed and nearly 6,000 people forced to flee after armed gangs launched coordinated attacks in western Haiti’s agricultural heartland. Gunmen targeted the Jean-Denis and Pont-Sond areas, opening fire on homes and setting villages ablaze, according to Haitian authorities and rights groups.

Estimates of the death toll vary. Officials confirmed at least 16 fatalities on the first day, while human rights organizations suggest the number could be closer to 70. Witnesses say attackers blocked roads, dug trenches to trap residents, and fired indiscriminately. Local spokespersons report that security forces arrived only after significant destruction had occurred.

The United Nations has called for an urgent investigation as Haiti prepares to receive an international security force in the coming days. Observers warn that violence in the Artibonite region risks worsening food shortages and deepening the country’s humanitarian crisis.
