Today’s devotional theme is “Attaining Good Success.” We begin with John 14:23 as our memory verse. Jesus promises that those who love Him and obey His word will receive God’s special love.

Drawing from Romans 8:31–39, we learn that God’s children can be more than conquerors without fighting. When God loves you specially, He secures your victories. I pray you experience divine success without struggle.

Obedience to Christ is your key to good success. As you keep His commands, God fights your battles for you. Do you keep all God’s commands?

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.

BAU Group chairman Abdul Samad Rabiu has emerged as Africa’s biggest wealth gainer in Forbes’ 2026 ranking. His net worth jumped 120% to $11.2 billion, lifting him from sixth to third place.

The surge was driven by a 135% rally in BUA Cement shares, outpacing gains on the Nigerian Exchange amid rising investor confidence.

Now behind only Johann Rupert ($16.1B) and Aliko Dangote ($28.5B), Rabiu’s rise underscores the strength of Nigeria’s industrial sector and the growing footprint of the BUA Group.

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike says the Court of Appeal’s judgment nullifying the PDP’s Ibadan convention is a chance to rebuild unity within the party. He noted the court confirmed the party’s failure to follow the 1999 Constitution, the Electoral Act 2022, and its own rules.

Wike explained that valid state congresses and proper INEC notice were not held before the November 2025 convention. He stressed that ignoring legal requirements turns internal disputes into matters of law.

He urged PDP members to drop personal interests and embrace due process. A caretaker committee will manage party affairs until a new national convention on March 29–30, 2026 at the Moshood Abiola Stadium Velodrome elects valid officers.

I recently came across TZNXG claiming to be a Colorado-based crypto exchange. Their listed address does not match any real office or business records. There are no verifiable registration details or regulatory disclosures.

Research shows almost no credible history or third-party references for TZNXG. The company lacks a clear corporate entity and leadership team. Several indicators suggest it may actually operate from Cambodia rather than the US.

The platform promises easy profits to attract users. Initial deposits and trades may work fine, but withdrawals can become restricted or blocked with hidden fees. Legitimate exchanges maintain transparent records, active communities, and solid track records—TZNXG shows none of these.

I strongly advise caution and against depositing funds with TZNXG until it proves its legitimacy. If you have any additional information or experiences, please share them here so we can help others avoid potential losses.

Warning: TZNXG Crypto Exchange May Be a Scam

Despite public outcry, the Department of Home Affairs has given no explanation for why Nigeria-born Titilayo Oluwakemi Oyekanmi and her three sons were flown from Ireland back to South Africa last week. The family boarded a charter flight after Irish authorities denied their asylum request.

Oyekanmi says she fled South Africa in 2023 after a criminal gang assaulted her and her children. Ireland’s Justice Minister confirmed that 63 undocumented migrants, including nine children, were returned to South Africa. The family also turned down a €10,000 relocation offer before removal.

Under Irish law, deported migrants may be sent to any country willing to accept them. Because the Oyekanmi family held permanent residency in South Africa, Dublin chose it as their destination. Both the International Protection Office and the Appeals Tribunal reviewed the case independently.

On social media, many have questioned why the family was not returned to Nigeria. Political parties and advocacy groups have since lodged parliamentary questions and called on Home Affairs to clarify the matter.

Residents in several Ekiti State communities are alarmed after a middle-aged woman was reportedly abducted and raped to death by suspected kidnappers in Ajoni. The attackers allegedly demanded ₦1.5 million, “Canadian Loud,” cocaine, crystal meth and cartons of beer for her body’s release. Unable to secure the drugs, villagers pooled cash instead.

When four volunteers went to deliver the ransom, they were seized by the kidnappers. The criminals then issued a new demand: two virgin girls in exchange for the captured men, threatening to kill them if the community failed to comply.

Fear has spread across at least six towns—Itapaji, Iyemero, Oke-Ako, Irele, Ijowa and Ipao—as armed groups move freely, disrupting water and healthcare access. Locals accuse their political representatives of silence beyond condolences. A pan-Yoruba socio-political group has called on authorities to act swiftly, while residents appeal to the Federal Government and security agencies for urgent intervention.

Showmax is set to shut down after 11 years in Africa. It lost $2.50 for every dollar earned, forcing parent company Canal+ to pull the plug.

High data costs and an expensive 2024 platform rebuild drained cash. Low revenue per user, rampant piracy, and fierce competition from Netflix, Disney+ and others deepened the losses. Canal+’s 2025 acquisition of MultiChoice accelerated the decision to discontinue the service.

Showmax built genuine loyalty with local and international content. Its shutdown highlights the harsh realities of streaming on the continent. Fans continue to hope for a revival, but the numbers will ultimately decide its fate.

I believe Tonto Dikeh has a divine assignment to evangelize Nollywood and even Hollywood. Too many social media influencers operate with entertainment mindsets and risk spiritual attack. Before a calling truly manifests, there must be a season of divine pruning and solid training.

I prophesied assassination attempts on several top influencers late last year, and those warnings are unfolding now. I also saw leaderless divisions among groups earlier this year. These signs highlight the dangers of stepping into ministry unprepared.

My advice to Tonto is to seek proper ministry training under an experienced mentor. Content creation and showbiz skills are not enough. Like Elisha and Joshua, she must learn before she leads. Expect a special miracle this week in Jesus’ name.

When people cheer countries into war, they often ignore the chain effect. A chain effect, or domino effect, is a sequence of events where one action triggers the next, creating a cascading series of outcomes.

Consider fuel prices. Conflict abroad can push energy costs higher. As petrol becomes more expensive, production costs go up—but wages rarely follow.

Within weeks, a war on another continent can erode your purchasing power. That’s the ripple effect of conflict on everyday life.

Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq hosted five junior secondary school debaters at Government House and rewarded each with N2 million. He also gave their tutors N500,000 each, on top of N3 million saved for their trip to Malaysia.

The students—Lawal Maryam Kikeloma, Jatto Rahmatallah Onize, Paul Unity, Fatimah AbdulRahman Thaini and Priscilla Aremu Temilayo—made history by winning the International Junior Secondary School Debate Championship in Malaysia. They were the first African team to lift the trophy and also won Best Behaved Team.

Shortly after, they retained the Nigerian Presidential School Debate title in Lagos, marking Kwara’s fourth straight win. In a statement, the governor praised them as worthy ambassadors of the state and country, and vowed to sustain heavy investment in education.

The reception, attended by lawmakers, local government chairmen and parents, underscored Kwara’s emergence as an education hub. Residents described the young champions as “our own global stars.”

After two years of sweeping financial reforms, Nigeria has officially exited the FATF grey list. This milestone removes reputational barriers that once slowed fintech startups on the global stage.

The old stigma forced extra checks, delayed partnerships, and cost founders time and opportunity. Now the Central Bank of Nigeria is shifting from compliance to leadership, framing a new narrative around infrastructure, credibility, and continental collaboration.

In early 2026, the CBN published its Fintech Policy Insight Report, which proposes a Shared Fraud Defence Framework and a Fintech Trust and Safety Charter. These initiatives will enable real-time intelligence sharing, data protection standards, and responsible AI use across the industry.

With NIBSS processing 11 billion real-time transactions in 2024 and Project Stallion enhancing cybersecurity, Nigeria isn’t just proving its financial safety. It’s positioning its systems and regulatory innovations to shape the future of fintech across Africa.

Reports from The New York Times say Mojtaba Khamenei suffered leg injuries on the first day of the war launched by Israel and the United States. He had just replaced his father, Ali Khamenei, as Iran’s supreme leader three days earlier and has not appeared in public since.

Two Israeli military officials confirmed the assessment. The same strike that killed Ali Khamenei also claimed the lives of Mojtaba’s wife, son, and mother. He is believed to be conscious and hiding in a heavily secured location with limited communication.

Iranian state media have called him a “janbaz jang,” a term for wounded war veterans. Officials also reported a failed assassination attempt on a bunker beneath the supreme leader’s offices in Tehran in the days before his formal appointment.

I came across a disturbing video of the kidnapped NYSC corps member in Zamfara State.

In the clip, he pleads for help while still in captivity. The footage has ignited outrage and sympathy across social media.

Viewers are now asking why corps members are still posted to high-risk areas, what steps are being taken to secure his release, and whether the NYSC should review its posting policies for safety.

The victim’s family is reportedly raising ransom funds while appealing for help from authorities. What do you think? Should the NYSC stop sending corps members to dangerous regions, or is this scheme crucial for national unity?

Mobile Device Management (MDM) lets school IT teams manage and secure laptops, tablets, and smartphones from one central dashboard. With many devices in digital learning environments, manual management becomes a chore.

Schools use MDM to restrict student access to non-educational content, install learning apps remotely, and apply security updates automatically. Administrators can also lock or wipe lost devices to protect sensitive data.

Once devices enroll in an MDM system, admins configure profiles, push software, and monitor device health in real time. Platforms like Scalefusion MDM help maintain consistent policies across all school-owned devices.

Ambassador Umanu Elijah has been officially recognized as a Rising African Youth in Leadership for his impactful advocacy.

He used the platform to shift the spotlight onto African youth narratives. He challenged the view of young people as mere statistics, arguing they are a powerful force for meaningful progress.

From thriving startups to community initiatives, Nigerian and African youth are driving innovation and holding leaders to account. Elijah called on governments and corporations to back their ideas with mentorship, capacity building, and real opportunities.

“Africa’s demographic strength can become its greatest asset if youth potential is intentionally guided and strategically empowered,” he concluded.

God’s people perish for lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6). Faith alone can be misdirected and unproductive without understanding the Word. True victory comes when faith is guided by knowledge.

In the wilderness, Jesus faced Satan’s temptations. He refused to turn stones into bread. He also rejected a misquoted promise about temple angels (Matt. 4:3-7). His responses show the power of applying Scripture.

Psalm 119:105 calls God’s Word “a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Knowledge gives faith direction and stability. As Peter writes, “Add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge” (2 Pet. 1:5).

Let us pray: “Father, thank you for your Word that fills my spirit and directs my faith. I reject ignorance and walk in truth, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.” Further study: Proverbs 11:9; 2 Peter 1:2-3; Colossians 1:9. Reading plan: Mark 14:53-72; Numbers 29-31; Acts 26:24-32; Psalm 71-72.

The Dangote Fertilizer factory in Lekki spans 500 hectares. It cost $2.5 billion and ranks among Africa’s largest granulated urea producers.

The US-Israel war on Iran has disrupted global fertilizer supplies. About 25% to 35% of the world’s urea crosses the 21-mile Strait of Hormuz. The conflict has blocked access to Iran’s urea and ammonia.

Natural gas prices have soared as a result. Gas is a critical input for fertilizer production. Dangote Industries VP Devakumar Edwin confirmed that demand has risen sharply.

Analysts warn that the longer the Iran war lasts, the higher global fertilizer and food prices will climb.

Bangladesh has closed all public and private universities and launched fuel rationing to tackle a worsening energy crisis linked to the Middle East conflict. Authorities advanced the Eid al-Fitr holiday to cut electricity use in halls, labs, and air conditioning, and to ease traffic that wastes fuel.

Schools are already off for Ramadan, and the government has also asked foreign-curriculum schools and private coaching centers to suspend operations. New guidelines encourage institutions and offices to maximise natural light and minimise unnecessary power use.

Bangladesh imports 95% of its energy. Disruptions from the US-Israel war on Iran have driven up global oil and gas prices. Officials say these measures will offer short-term relief and help stabilise fuel and electricity supplies.

Ambassador (Chief) Godwin Okporoko, President General of Owahwa Sub-Clan in OML34, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to keep the pipeline surveillance contract with Tantita Security Services Limited.

He warned that ending the contract would allow illegal oil bunkering to return. According to Okporoko, Tantita’s operations have reduced pipeline vandalism, cut pollution, and boosted crude oil production and revenue for the federal, state, and local governments.

He highlighted that Tantita has directly employed over 40,000 youths across the Niger Delta. Okporoko also praised Chief Government Ekpemuplo (Tompolo) and Managing Director Chief Kestin Pondi for their leadership and urged the president to focus on the company’s proven performance under the “Renewed Hope” agenda.

Great artists and athletes achieve success through patience and perseverance. Beethoven rewrote each bar multiple times. Haydn created over 800 compositions before his greatest work. Michelangelo spent eight years on The Last Judgment, producing more than 2,000 sketches. Leonardo da Vinci devoted a decade to The Last Supper.

Even in old age, pianist Paderewski practiced six hours a day. In the Kentucky Derby, a horse runs the last miles on heart when its body tires. Michael Jordan said heart separates the good from the great. The Bible calls those who persevere blessed (James 5:11) and points to Job’s faith as an example.

Keep persevering. Refuse to quit. True success comes to those who endure through hardships and remain steadfast in purpose.
