On October 25, 1993, four Nigerian teenagers from FUTA hijacked a Nigerian Airways plane to protest the annulment of the June 12 election by the military regime. Their bold act aimed to demand justice for the mandate given to MKO Abiola and to stand against military tyranny.

While the hall housing the centrifuges was not directly hit, the damage inside the facility raises concerns about the potential for radiological and chemical contamination.

Grossi emphasized that radiation levels outside Natanz remain normal, indicating no immediate risk to the environment or local population. However, he warned of the dangers posed by the damaged equipment, especially if uranium particles are inhaled or ingested, and highlighted the importance of protective measures for personnel inside the facility.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has rejected the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) notice for its upcoming 100th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting scheduled for June 30, 2025. INEC cited non-compliance with regulations requiring the notice to be jointly signed by both the party’s National Chairman and National Secretary.

The notice was signed solely by acting National Chairman Umar Damagum, which violates the 2022 Regulations and Guidelines for Political Parties. INEC advised the PDP to adhere strictly to its rules for future notices.

The PDP had informed INEC of the meeting via a letter dated May 30, fulfilling the 21-day notification requirement. The upcoming NEC meeting aims to address internal disputes, including leadership controversies, zonal congress ratifications, and unresolved internal conflicts that have led to delays and defections.

These issues have significantly affected the party’s unity, especially in the South-South, South-East, and North-Central regions, and have impacted its readiness for future elections.

History shows that leaders who mistake fear for respect often face downfall. Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is increasingly isolated as his regime focuses more on exporting ideology than improving the lives of Iranians.

Iran’s influence extends through groups like Hezbollah, militias in Iraq, and the Houthis in Yemen. However, this network now reveals the regime’s weaknesses, especially amid recent tensions with Israel. Israeli strikes and Iran’s fiery responses expose how fragile Iran’s deterrence truly is.

While I respect both Islam and Christianity, Iran’s exports are not religious but political extremism cloaked in religious language. This is not Islam; it’s ideological adventurism. History warns us of leaders like Idi Amin, Saddam Hussein, and Gaddafi, who overreached and fell. With Iran’s economy struggling and its youth restless, it’s worth wondering if Khamenei’s regime is nearing its breaking point.

As the saying goes, 'Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad'—a fitting reflection on Iran’s current course.

Nigeria’s 2025 budget is based on an oil price of $75 per barrel and a production target of 2.06 million barrels per day. The current output and prices raise questions about the budget’s feasibility.

Gbenga Komolafe, CEO of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission, assured that efforts are ongoing to boost oil production. He emphasized the regulator’s commitment to creating a transparent and investment-friendly environment for the industry.

Israeli politician Ben Gvir and Bar-Lev were caught on camera arguing about why Israel continues to provoke Iran.
