Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike has reaffirmed the Peoples Democratic Party’s commitment to reconciling with members who feel aggrieved after the National Convention on March 29 and 30. He dismissed legal challenges from the Turaki-led faction and insisted the PDP’s “wide umbrella” can accommodate all interests.

Wike acknowledged that grievances are natural in any large organisation. He said the party will meet with dissenting members, understand their concerns and explore how to bring them on board for the party’s greater good.

Speaking after inspecting the Moshood Abiola Stadium velodrome, the convention venue, he confirmed that zoning arrangements are complete. The presidential slot goes to the South, while the national chairmanship is allotted to the North.

Accompanied by senior PDP figures, Wike stressed that this consensus-driven approach represents a truly unified front and will ensure a smooth leadership transition.

Iran coach Amir Ghalenoei praised Nigeria’s Super Eagles for their strong, physical display in Friday’s friendly clash.

Moses Simon opened the scoring in the fifth minute. Nigeria doubled their lead six minutes into the second half after Ademola Lookman’s precise assist set up Victor Osimhen’s calm finish.

Iran pulled one back in the 67th minute through Mehdi Taremi’s clinical strike. The goal created a tense finale, but Nigeria held on for a 2-1 victory.

Ghalenoei noted that Nigeria’s intensity and cohesive teamwork made the difference in this four-nation tournament match.

I just read an interesting story from Israel’s history. King Ahaziah fell from his palace roof and was seriously injured. Instead of asking God for guidance, he sent messengers to foreign soothsayers. God sent Elijah to declare that the king would not live.

The first soldiers spoke arrogantly when they reached Elijah. He called fire down from heaven, and they were consumed. The second group met the same fate. The third leader humbled himself and begged for mercy. An angel then told Elijah to go with him to the king.

This event shows how powerful our manner of approach can be. A humble request invites divine help, while prideful demands bring judgment. This principle applies whether you face spiritual or human authority.

Approach everyone with humility and respect. When you show reverence, your chances of a positive response increase significantly.

The Central Bank of Nigeria has directed all International Money Transfer Operators to open and maintain naira settlement accounts with authorised dealer banks. This move aims to boost transparency and oversight in the foreign exchange market.

Under the March 24 circular signed by Musa Nakorji, IMTOs must route all remittance inflows, beneficiary payments and related settlements exclusively through these naira accounts. Operators may have multiple accounts, but each must be clearly designated and details submitted to the CBN.

Accounts can only be funded by diaspora remittances or proceeds from currency conversions carried out by licensed IMTOs or their agents. The CBN also requires IMTOs to adopt market-reflective pricing using real-time rates from a recognised trading system.

Authorised dealer banks may process foreign currency transfers from these accounts to other banks and licensed Bureau De Change operators. The directive stresses proper transaction records and full compliance with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing rules. It takes effect May 1, 2026.

Light drives away darkness and reveals hidden truths. Jesus declared Himself the Light of the world. He also called His disciples to shine that others may see God’s glory.

As God’s children, you carry His light. Every good gift comes from the Father of lights. In Christ, you are an able minister of the new covenant. Your life must reflect His grace through acts of love and faith.

When God’s light shines in a place, the impossible becomes possible. Jesus demonstrated this through countless miracles—healing the blind, the infirm, lepers, and those oppressed by evil spirits. As His follower, you share in that same power.

Embrace your identity as a child of God. Let your light shine brightly and dispel every form of darkness. May the light within you never grow dim.

On March 27, 2026, intense thunderstorms battered Dubai. Striking images from the Dubai Media Office show multiple lightning bolts hitting the 829-metre Burj Khalifa. Authorities issued safety alerts and activated emergency measures as heavy rain led to flooding in several areas.

The unstable weather system also brought strong winds, dust storms and reduced visibility across the UAE. Dubai Police stepped up road-clearing operations to keep traffic moving smoothly, according to local reports.

Former presidential aide Reno Omokri claimed that President Tinubu inherited a $113 billion debt from Buhari and reduced it to $103.9 billion. He cited official data on his social media post.

A review of Debt Management Office figures shows Nigeria’s public debt stood at $108.29 billion when Tinubu took office, not $113 billion. By September 2025, the debt fell to about $103.93 billion in dollar terms but rose sharply in naira value due to currency depreciation.

Both Omokri’s and Senator Dino Melaye’s borrowing figures diverge from the verified data. The apparent decline in dollar terms reflects exchange-rate movements rather than a substantive cut in the debt stock.

Yemen’s Houthi movement has fired a barrage of ballistic missiles toward southern Israel. This marks its first direct attack since the US-Israeli conflict with Iran began.

The group’s military spokesperson said the strikes targeted sensitive Israeli bases. Israel intercepted at least one missile and sirens sounded in Beersheba. No casualties or damage have been reported so far.

The Houthis, who control the capital Sanaa, have previously attacked international shipping in the Red Sea. They say they may disrupt the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, a key global trade route.

Analysts warn that Houthi involvement could widen the war. Israel now faces multiple fronts, raising concerns about further regional escalation and impacts on global energy and trade.

Azu Ishiekwene examines how Peter Obi, once hailed as ‘Okwute’, has drifted from steadfast contender to political mascot.

He argues that Obi failed to capitalise on his impressive 2023 election showing. Litigation and lack of party-building weakened the Labour Party’s foundations.

By joining the ADC, Obi has squandered his goodwill. His alliance with the NNPP’s Rabiu Kwankwaso highlights a struggle for relevance rather than leadership.

Ishiekwene concludes that without renewed strategy, Obi risks fading further amid a dominant ruling party and a disunited opposition.

Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye has hailed his teammate Victor Osimhen as a 'special player' during Nigeria’s training camp in Antalya, Turkey.

Okoye praised Osimhen’s unmatched energy and strength on the field, saying that beyond technical quality, the striker lifts everyone’s spirit. His comments were shared in an interview with Udinese and the Italian league.

He also noted Osimhen’s importance to both club and country, underlining the deep respect he holds for his injured compatriot, who is currently recovering from a knock suffered in European competition.

Beyond national duty, Okoye spoke of his own satisfaction at Udinese. He described the club’s environment as ideal for growth and expressed his love for Italian football, while revealing a keen interest in the Bundesliga and Premier League.

I’m a 33-year-old warehouse storekeeper and bodybuilder planning my first move to Oman. I’ve received a sponsorship visa for a loader/unloader role in Salalah. The package offers a basic salary of 110 OMR plus overtime, with free housing, meals, and medical care.

I’m also exploring a freelance visa but don’t want to risk getting stranded. As a newcomer, I’m weighing which option will give me a stable start.

Is 110 OMR (all expenses covered) enough to save and send money home to Nigeria? How easy is it to switch employers once I arrive? I’d love to hear real experiences from anyone in Muscat or Salalah. Thanks and God bless!

The Super Eagles eased to a 2-1 win over Iran in Antalya, despite missing stars Victor Osimhen and Calvin Bassey. Moses Simon opened the scoring in the first half, and Akor Adams doubled the lead early in the second.

Wilfred Ndidi anchored a dominant midfield as Nigeria controlled play. Coach Eric Chelle made key substitutions at halftime, and the fresh legs kept up the intensity.

Iran pulled one back through Mehdi Taremi late on, but the Super Eagles held firm. Nigeria now boast a strong record against Middle Eastern sides and will face Jordan next in the invitational.

I’ll keep this brief. Our democracy is under threat. With massive defections and unchecked power grabs, Tinubu’s APC has sidelined the will of the people.

The economy is in free fall. Foreign loans balloon while phantom projects drain our resources. Our unity and rights hang by a thread as corruption and cronyism flourish.

Waiting for elections or impeachment is a false hope. Only a united national movement—calling for genuine decentralization or a referendum—can restore our country. Nigerians must rise now and reclaim our destiny.

Barrister Aminu Hussaini Sagagi reflects on the recent FCT High Court decision that recognised the Boniface Aniebonam faction of the NNPP as the authentic party. This judgment ends a prolonged internal dispute and clears the path for stable governance.

He argues that Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s shift to the APC was driven by a need to protect the people’s mandate and ensure continuity. Critics called it betrayal at first, but judicial backing now shows it was a pragmatic choice for Kano’s stability.

Aligning with the federal government can speed up infrastructure, strengthen security, and unlock economic benefits. This move highlights the governor’s priority of delivering real progress over sticking to factional loyalty.

In moments of political crisis, leadership must put public interest above party lines. History often rewards those who place people before politics. Kano deserves steady progress and leaders willing to make tough decisions.

Jewish law today traces identity through the mother, yet this practice does not appear in the Torah. Many scholars believe it developed among Ashkenazi Jews in medieval Europe, where social status functioned like a caste system. In that context, a mother’s status determined her children’s standing—an idea echoed by the one-drop rule in the United States.

By contrast, Mizrahi and other non-Ashkenazi Jewish communities in the Middle East once followed different customs. They sometimes practised polygamy and treated all a father’s children equally, regardless of their mothers’ backgrounds.

Although Israeli law still upholds matrilineal descent, views vary widely today. Many Jews—whether of Ashkenazi or Mizrahi heritage—debate the rule’s origins and its relevance in modern society.

I met a fine NYSC graduate named Amaka during the COVID period. She spoke great English and was extremely pretty, so I thought using her charm would help land a social media management contract with a chairman I know.

I designed a proposal under her name and paid her ₦200k to prep for the meeting. Amaka walked into his office, he awarded the six-month contract on the spot, and I gave her a friend’s account for the payment.

By 3pm, no money had arrived. Amaka finally called to say the payment was in her account. She then offered to pay me ₦200k and keep the rest, revealing she’d collected ₦720k and skipped town to Kilimanjaro.

I’ve lost the contract and over a million naira. A lawyer says without a written agreement or witnesses, there’s nothing I can do. Now I’m left wondering how to recover my money.

The Ekiti State Government has stepped up its collaboration with the Nigerian Air Force to enhance operations at the Ekiti Agro-Allied International Cargo Airport and reinforce security across the state. Governor Biodun Oyebanji led the discussions during a working visit to Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke at the Defence Headquarters in Abuja.

The government has allocated 1,000 hectares of land with a Certificate of Occupancy for a permanent Air Force facility. It has also committed to providing any additional support needed to ensure full operational readiness and bolster confidence in the airport’s safety and functionality.

Air Marshal Aneke commended the governor’s visionary leadership. He confirmed the Air Force’s eagerness to deepen the partnership and revealed plans under discussion with international partners to establish an aircraft repair and overhaul centre at the airport. This strategic move is expected to boost capacity, create jobs, and drive economic growth in the region.

Logistics manager Israel DMW is in Zurich, Switzerland, courtesy of his boss Davido’s European tour. He celebrated reaching a country he once thought he’d never enter.

Earlier this year, Israel visited Los Angeles after years away and called the trip a dream come true. He has also praised Davido for private jet rides to Abuja, a US visa he compared to Heaven, and first-time trips to France, the UK and Canada.

Since 2022, Israel has publicly credited Davido for helping secure multiple visas and even declared his boss “Lord and Saviour” for changing his life trajectory.

Nigeria’s persistent electricity crisis is worsening. Erratic power and high fuel prices are hitting homes and businesses across Kano, Kaduna, Lagos and Kwara.

Promised improvements from the Minister of Power have failed to materialise. Many residents report fewer than five hours of supply daily despite being placed on higher tariff bands.

Small business owners bear the brunt. Soft-drink vendors now hike prices, while some buy ice daily to keep goods cold. Rising generator and diesel costs threaten many enterprises.

Energy analysts call the two-week recovery pledge unrealistic. With diesel at N1,800 per litre and petrol at N1,400, businesses face economic strangulation. Experts urge urgent action to stabilise energy supply and protect livelihoods.

Senegal will display their Africa Cup of Nations trophy before Saturday’s friendly against Peru in Paris. This follows a CAF decision to overturn their 1-0 win over Morocco and award Morocco a 3-0 victory.

The Senegalese Football Federation has lodged an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport. FSF president Abdoulaye Fall denounced the reversal as “the most blatant administrative robbery” and vowed a crusade for justice.

Fall also revealed plans for a trophy parade at the Stade de France. “Senegal will not bend the knee and will not compromise its values,” he said, adding that the fight now transcends the football pitch.

Popular Nigerian streamer Habeeb Hamzat, known as Peller, was met with an unexpected reception at the Alake of Egbaland’s palace in Abeokuta. His visit was part of a nationwide streaming tour aimed at engaging fans and exploring cultural landmarks.

Upon arrival, a palace chief reprimanded Peller, his entourage, and associate Tunde Perry for what was deemed an inappropriate approach in the royal setting. Other chiefs then intervened and halted the visit, informing the group that the monarch would no longer grant them an audience and ordering them to leave immediately.

Sensing the seriousness of the situation, Peller and his crew exited the premises promptly. This incident follows a similar controversy in Benin, where the Traditional Council reportedly declared him wanted for entering a palace without prior approval, a claim his management has since denied.

England legend Wayne Rooney has voiced shock after Trent Alexander-Arnold was left out of England’s 35-man provisional squad ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

Rooney told his podcast that Thomas Tuchel’s snub could be more than tactical. He suggested it might signal a permanent exit for the Real Madrid defender.

Despite Alexander-Arnold’s resurgence in Spain, Tuchel omitted him from warm-up camps against Uruguay and Japan. Rooney insists no other English player matches his technical skill on the ball and urges patience with the 27-year-old.

Noni Madueke was forced off just 38 minutes into England’s 1-1 draw with Uruguay at Wembley after a collision in the penalty area left him in a knee brace. He had skipped past a defender before his shot was blocked and he crashed into Uruguay’s Rodrigo Aguirre.

Madueke received several minutes of on-field treatment but could not continue. West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen replaced him shortly after the incident.

The timing is a setback for the winger, who had hoped to use the international break to boost his case for England’s major tournament squad and return to Arsenal fit. After the match, he was seen limping through the mixed zone with his left leg heavily supported, suggesting he may head back to his club for a full assessment.

His injury adds to Arsenal’s growing list of absences, which already includes Gabriel Magalhães, Eberechi Eze, William Saliba, Leandro Trossard, Jurrien Timber and Martin Ødegaard.
