The Nigerian police have a widespread presence across every local government and ward. Yet, they continue to fail in preventing attacks on the people of Benue. Despite frequent assaults, there have been no arrests or effective investigations.

Many Nigerians are frustrated with the police's inability to track or confront terrorists and herdsmen responsible for these attacks. Instead of protecting lives and property, some officers appear more interested in extorting innocent citizens. This corruption and inefficiency undermine public safety.

It's disheartening that, despite having arms like AK-47s, the police seem weak and cowardly. The question remains: why are there no proactive efforts to confront or trace the attackers? Nigerians expect the police to do their job and ensure the safety of all citizens.

Professor Isaac Zeb-Obipi, Vice Chancellor of Rivers State University, has introduced several initiatives to improve academic processes and student experience.

He announced a combined convocation in 2025 to reduce graduation delays and has implemented a 7-day transcript processing cycle for faster academic record handling. The university is also procuring computers for staff to support a smart, technology-driven administration.

The Osun State Government has raised serious concerns over alleged plans by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF) to divert local government funds into private accounts. The state claims that these actions are part of a deliberate attempt to undermine ongoing legal cases at the Supreme Court.

In a statement, Osun’s Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Dosu Babatunde, condemned the move, describing it as unconstitutional and a violation of public finance regulations. The government also reported that the CBN rejected a list of authorized local government officials, suspecting it was intended to channel funds into private accounts linked to political figures.

While some stakeholders, like the LG Chairmen, dismissed the allegations, the Osun government has alerted President Bola Tinubu about the issue. They warned that any funds paid into private accounts would be considered illegal and vowed to take legal action. The Nigerian Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) also confirmed that the CBN had directed the opening of accounts for local governments, emphasizing the need for transparency and adherence to the law.

Recent clashes between Iran and Israel have seen Iranian missiles and drones successfully bypass Israel’s sophisticated air defense systems, causing significant damage and casualties. Despite Israel’s deployment of advanced systems like the Iron Dome and Arrow interceptors, some Iranian missiles have managed to pierce through.

Experts suggest that Iran’s use of hypersonic missiles, decoys, and missile maneuvering techniques like hypersonic glide vehicles (HGVs) and cruise missiles challenge Israel’s defenses. These tactics, combined with potential exhaustion of interceptors and radar jamming technologies, may explain how some Iranian strikes have succeeded.

This ongoing conflict highlights the evolving nature of missile technology and the importance of continuous upgrades in defense strategies. The situation remains tense, with both sides experiencing significant losses and damage.

This post reflects on the iconic photo of Colin Powell presenting alleged evidence of Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction at the UN in 2003. Despite failing to convince the international community, the US invaded Iraq, leading to widespread destruction based on false claims. Powell later expressed regret for his role in the deception.

Fast forward 22 years, and similar allegations are being made against Iran. The US and Israel claim Iran is close to developing a nuclear bomb, but intelligence reports suggest otherwise. In fact, US officials like Tulsi Gabbard have testified that Iran has no current plans for a nuclear weapon. This raises concerns about whether another war might be justified by lies once again.

The post questions whether history will repeat itself and emphasizes the importance of truth in international relations, especially for the lives of Iranians and Americans alike.

Severe flooding has made the Lafia-Makurdi road impassable, complicating logistics ahead of President Bola Tinubu’s scheduled visit to Benue State.

This major route connects Benue to neighboring states and is vital for travelers, government officials, and the presidential team. The flooding was caused by hours of heavy rainfall, leading to long delays and vehicles trapped in waterlogged sections.

The disruption comes at a critical time as the state prepares to host the president, who is visiting in response to recent attacks in Guma LGA that resulted in over 100 deaths. Tinubu’s visit aims to meet with traditional rulers, political and religious leaders, and victims, as part of efforts to address ongoing violence.

A statement from presidential aide Bayo Onanuga indicated that Tinubu postponed his Kaduna trip to prioritize Benue. During the visit, a town hall meeting with stakeholders is expected to foster dialogue and seek long-term solutions to the violence.

England and Nigeria descent footballer Dominic Solanke celebrated a major milestone by marrying his partner in a beautiful lakeside ceremony near Lake Como, Italy. The wedding drew attention from football fans worldwide, especially after his successful 2024-2025 season with Tottenham Hotspur.

Born Dominic Ayodele Solanke-Mitchell on September 14, 1997, in Reading, England, to Nigerian parents, his heritage is evident in his name. Despite his Nigerian roots, he plays internationally for England, having previously been linked to Nigeria before committing to the English national team.

I discovered Naijaworld in 2020 during the pandemic, thanks to a Google search. At that time, I was struggling financially and only had free Opera Mini browsing. I had just gained admission into university to study medicine, but life was tough.

Naijaworld was my first glimpse into the world of freelancing. I found threads where people freely shared materials on digital skills. I became interested in programming but lacked funds to start learning. Then I saw a post about freelance writing, which seemed more accessible because I only needed a phone.

Fortunately, I secured a scholarship that covered my tuition, easing some worries. I started writing to earn side income, but gigs were hard to find at first. I did menial jobs like cleaning and serving to survive through my first years.

Later, I got my first small writing gig from Naijaworld, which led to more opportunities. Over the years, I’ve worked on various freelance jobs, including some from Upwork. Writing has been my main source of income in school, even while doing other jobs. Now in my final year, I want to diversify into web3 and outsourcing jobs to meet increasing expenses. I’m seeking advice on how to get more web3 writing gigs and improve my financial situation.

During a crusade in Kebbi State, Pastor Paul Enenche of Dunamis International Gospel Centre refused a ₦30 million cash donation offered by Kebbi Governor Nasir Idris. The donation was presented by the state's Commissioner for Social Duties, Zayyanu Umar Aliero, on behalf of the governor.

Pastor Enenche appreciated the gesture but politely requested that the funds be directed to charitable causes like orphanages instead of church activities. He emphasized that government funds should serve public projects, not religious organizations.

He further explained that the church relies on divine provision and maintains independence from government funding. Enenche suggested that such donations be handed over to official religious bodies like the Christian Pilgrims Welfare Board or CAN if genuinely intended for religious purposes.

The Lagos State Police Command has achieved a major breakthrough by apprehending Wasiu Akinwande, popularly known as “Olori Eso,” a feared cult kingpin and serial killer. He has terrorized Lagos for over a decade, involved in numerous violent crimes including murders, kidnappings, and armed robberies.

The Nigerian House of Representatives has cleared Togo of involvement in the issuance of fake academic certificates. This follows investigations by the House Committee on Public Petitions, which revealed that Togo's educational institutions are not implicated.

Hello everyone,

I recently took out a car pawn loan and wanted to share my insights, especially for those wondering if it affects their credit score in Nigeria.

The quick answer is: most car pawn loans do NOT impact your credit score.

Here's why: these loans are secured, with your car as collateral. Many lenders in Nigeria operate outside the formal credit reporting system. They usually don’t check your credit report or report your loan activity to credit bureaus.

This means whether you pay on time or default, it’s unlikely to influence your credit score. However, defaulting can have other consequences. The lender can repossess your car, and you might lose it permanently if the loan isn’t repaid. Additionally, if the lender shares information within local networks, it could affect your reputation.

For those with poor credit, car pawn loans can be a quick fix, but they come with high interest rates and risks. Always read the terms carefully and borrow only what you can afford to repay.

Has anyone else used a car pawn loan before? Did it show up on your credit report? I’d love to hear your experiences.
