I commend JAMB’s national UTME ranking system. It has improved competitiveness and merit in the admissions process.

I propose open access to anonymized UTME data. This should include registration codes, scores, and national and department ranks. The data should be sortable by university and course.

I propose that universities publish dynamic Post-UTME data by course and department on JAMB’s portal. This should include anonymized registration codes, Post-UTME scores, and course-specific ranks.

I propose a real-time admission ranking system. Course or institution changes should update the rankings instantly. These reforms will boost transparency, fairness, data-driven planning, and reduce fraud.

Good day everyone, and greetings to all farmers and agropreneurs on Naijaworld!

I’m working on a small agricultural support project to help farmers identify and manage crop problems quickly, especially when expert advice or internet access is limited.

When your crops show symptoms like yellowing leaves, rotting, dryness, or curling, how do you figure out what’s wrong? Do you rely on your own experience, ask neighbors, or use mobile apps and other tools?

I’m not selling anything—just gathering your real experiences to build a better solution for all of us. Please share your knowledge if you can. Every insight matters.

Thank you, and more strength to all our hardworking farmers!

The 2025 admissions policy set minimum JAMB cut-offs at 150 for universities, 140 for nursing schools and 100 for polytechnics. These thresholds fall far below global standards and mock Nigeria’s strategic role in higher education.

Over the past decade, cut-off marks have fluctuated between 120 and 180, yet most candidates still score under 200 out of 400. This persistent mediocrity contrasts sharply with the rigorous admissions of the 1980s and practices in the UK and US.

Stakeholders must reclaim university autonomy and insist on merit. The government should boost funding, empower institutions to manage their own admissions and reward performance over certificate collection. Only then can Nigerian universities compete globally and produce graduates who add real value.

Recent visa rule changes by the United States, United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia are testing Nigeria’s global mobility. The US now issues most non-immigrant visas for only three months and a single entry. The UAE has banned Nigerian transit visas and tightened tourist and eVisa requirements. Saudi Arabia also paused visa quotas for Nigeria and six other African nations.

Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has raised concerns. Spokesperson Kimiebi Ebienfa warned these restrictions could disrupt cultural and educational exchanges. The government is urging partner countries to reconsider and restore mutual respect and cooperation.

These shifts affect students, professionals, and tourists. Nigerian students fear travel and study plans will suffer under single-entry rules. Business owners worry about added costs and limited access to international meetings. Families and tour groups now face stricter documentation and financial requirements.

President Bola Tinubu has postponed the special Federal Executive Council meeting scheduled for Tuesday.

The session clashed with the state funeral for former President Muhammadu Buhari, set to take place in Daura, Katsina State. His remains will arrive from London tomorrow by noon.

The federal government has declared Tuesday, July 15, a public holiday in honour of the late president. The Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation will announce a new FEC meeting date after the funeral proceedings.

Vice-President Kashim Shettima and Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila travelled to the UK to ensure Buhari’s remains return home. Buhari died on Sunday in a London clinic after a prolonged illness.

The Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, was buried on Monday at his residence in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State. The 91-year-old monarch was laid to rest according to Islamic rites in a dignified ceremony attended by his royal family, Ijebu high chiefs, and national dignitaries.

Federal government representatives included the Ministers of Marine and Blue Economy and of Communication and Digital Economy. Former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, governors Dapo Abiodun and Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, senators, and other notable figures also paid their respects.

Tension arose when traditionalists were briefly prevented from entering the burial site by army personnel. Their exclusion followed a 2021 Ogun State law that allows monarchs to choose Islamic or customary burial rites.

In his eulogy, Governor Abiodun praised Oba Adetona’s philanthropy and mentorship. Former Vice President Osinbajo and other leaders called for the creation of a new state from old Ijebu Province to honor the late monarch’s vision.

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, has urged the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to zone its 2027 ticket to the South. He said this move would promote equity, unity and national cohesion.

Speaking at the 2nd Annual Colloquium in Ilorin, Obi—represented by Dr. Tanko Yunusa—argued that the South should complete eight years in power before returning to the North. He warned against repeating past political mistakes and noted his commitment to contest in 2027, whether or not he secures the coalition’s ticket.

For decades, African nations have been urged to “play fair” in the global economy. But what if the rulebook itself holds us back?

In this article, I examine how WTO restrictions limit Nigeria’s ability to use tariffs, subsidies, and industrial policy—the very tools Western powers relied on to build their wealth. Cheap, subsidized imports flood our markets, undermining farmers, textile workers, and manufacturers. Meanwhile, attempts to defend our industries are branded “market distortion.”

Key question: If the development ladder was pulled up just as we were about to climb, should we keep following these rules? Is it time for Nigeria and other African nations to rethink or even bend WTO regulations in pursuit of economic justice and growth?

We express our heartfelt condolences to the biological family of His Excellency, late President General Buhari. We also offer our sympathy to the APC and to all his friends.

He fought the good fight for Nigeria, a country he cherished. He worked selflessly to fight corruption and advance Africa’s interests.

Below is a highlights factsheet of key achievements from the Buhari administration (2015–2023), covering legislative reforms, infrastructure, digital economy, anti-corruption efforts, social investment, and more.

In this video, a Northern man calls out his own region’s belief that it controls Nigeria. He argues the idea of the North as the country’s engine room is pure delusion.

He challenges listeners to compare the North’s GDP with that of the East and Yoruba land. He even claims that Lagos alone can economically sustain much of the North.

He also condemns the use of population numbers for political clout. After elections, he says, leaders abandon the North in poverty. Finally, he questions the social impact of unplanned polygamy and large families without proper support.

Former President Muhammadu Buhari’s passing has drawn sorrowful tributes from President Bola Tinubu, state governors, and other prominent Nigerians. Tinubu offered his condolences to Mrs Aishat Buhari and sent Vice President Kashim Shettima and Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila to the UK to bring the late president’s body home.

The Northern Governors’ Forum, in a message signed by Gombe State Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, praised Buhari’s discipline, integrity, and unwavering commitment to Nigeria. They remembered his years as a military head of state and two-term civilian president as hallmarks of courageous and transparent leadership.

Former Finance Minister and WTO Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala expressed her shock on social media, saying she had just wished him a speedy recovery before learning of his death. She offered her deepest condolences to the Buhari family and prayed for his peaceful rest.

The Youth Party has condemned the July 12, 2025 Lagos State local government election as shambolic and blatantly rigged in favour of the APC.

In a press statement, Francisco Doregos, Chair of the party’s Lagos Chapter, thanked supporters and accused LASIEC of bias, voter suppression and legal breaches. The party claims commissioners were appointed to favour the ruling party and that key election notices were omitted.

On election day, the Youth Party alleged the use of DSS for candidate profiling, absence of BVAS and card readers, late or missing materials in some wards, and ballot stuffing. It insists its candidates led in the areas they contested despite a turnout it estimates below 5%.

The party says it is reviewing the results and will take a considered decision on the next steps. It urged members to stay united and continue to “Shape the Future” together.

The former Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano (Akpokuedike Aguleri), and his wife, Dr Mrs Ebelechukwu Obiano, have expressed deep sorrow over the passing of former President Muhammadu Buhari on July 13, 2025, in a London hospital.

In a statement by Dr Paul Nwosu, Obiano described Buhari as a disciplined and principled leader. He hailed the late president’s fight against corruption and his simple, sincere service to Nigeria. He noted that history will remember Buhari as a man of deep conviction who stood firm on issues he believed in.

Obiano also recalled their personal friendship: “Despite our political differences, President Buhari welcomed me into his inner circle,” he said. He spoke fondly of joining presidential delegations abroad and having unfettered access to the president’s office.

Chief Obiano concluded that Buhari’s death marks the end of an era in Nigerian politics. He prayed for the peaceful repose of the former president’s soul and asked God to console his family, the people of Daura, and all Nigerians.

President Muhammadu Buhari’s 2015 mantra of Change hinged on fighting corruption, tackling insecurity, reviving the economy, and creating jobs. His memorable line—“If we don’t kill corruption, this corruption will kill us”—became the rallying cry for many Nigerians.

Key pledges included creating 5 million jobs by 2019 through vocational training, launching a social welfare program for the poorest, overhauling infrastructure, and driving 10–12% annual GDP growth. While the administration touted successes, independent reviews and public feedback point to gaps in job creation and welfare delivery.

Peter Obi, Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, says he leads a simple life without domestic staff. He personally sweeps, cleans and serves guests in his home.

He made the remarks on X while responding to viral photos of him serving food at a charity event in Imo State. “I am genuinely surprised that this simple act has become a topic of discussion,” Obi wrote. “Humility is not a campaign strategy; it is a way of life.”

The former Anambra governor added that real change begins with compassion and service to the poor. He urged public office holders and citizens to make acts of service a cultural norm. He also noted that he flew economy class and embraced cost-saving measures while in office.

Good morning, naijaworlders.

I’ve been in a painful on-and-off friendship with a girl for over five years. She’s declined my relationship proposals multiple times, then reached out again, only to pull away once more.

Our latest breakup was over something small: I couldn’t afford to buy data for her, and she accused me of not caring. Emotions ran high and we decided to end things.

Now I regret it. I’ve begged her to give us another chance, but she refuses. How can I finally move on and get over her for good?

Banks and fintechs earn revenue from fees, transfers, loans and investments. Yet many struggle to address customer complaints.

Why is there no 24/7 customer service? Why are there no AI-powered call log monitors to identify repeat callers and proactively follow up?

People transact money around the clock. If issues arise at 11pm or 1am, email is no replacement for live support. CBN should require banks and fintechs to provide round-the-clock help. There should also be a dedicated CBN helpline for unresolved complaints.

I was eight in 1984 when soldiers raided our shop in Agege. They forced my mother into a gutter and emptied her 5,000-litre kerosene tank. That loss sank her into debt and forced her to relocate to Ondo.

In 1985, my sister fell ill at school. There was no ambulance or nurses because General Buhari had halted Lateef Jakande’s welfare programmes. Curfews and bus raids soon became part of daily life.

As president from 2015 to 2023, Buhari ran a government without ideas. He piled up debt, stifled growth and revived his old curfews. Critics like Sam Omatseye called his leadership “dead of ideas” and “discipline without imagination.”

From the 1983 coup to the flawed 2015 and 2019 elections, Buhari’s interventions left Nigeria worse off. I doubt many would welcome another Buhari-style rule.

Troops of the 37 Nigerian Defence Academy demonstration unit arrested three suspected terrorists and gunrunners along the Kauya–Old Afaka–Sabon Birni route in Igabi LGA, Kaduna State.

Maj.-Gen. Markus Kangye, Director of Defence Media Operations, said the breakthrough followed credible intelligence. The suspects—Yakubu Jilbril (45), Abubakar Yahaya (45) and Isiya Sani (30)—were stopped in a black Golf 4 (ABUJA YAB 385 K7).

Authorities recovered 9 AK-47 rifles, 389 rounds of 7.62mm live ammunition, 54 rounds of 5.56mm NATO ammo, 17 magazines and four GSM handsets. They also seized a machete, charms, an MTN WiFi modem, tyre patching materials, suspected illicit substances and ₦365,600.

The suspects and items remain in custody for further investigation. Gen. Christopher Musa, Chief of Defence Staff, commended the troops’ swift action and reiterated the military’s commitment to securing the nation.

Cameroonian President Paul Biya, now 92 and the world’s oldest serving head of state, announced on his official X and Facebook accounts that he will run for an eighth term on October 12, 2025.

He pledged to tackle Cameroon’s challenges alongside citizens, declaring that “together there are no challenges we cannot overcome” and promising that the best is still ahead.

Biya first came to power in 1982. Over the years, rumours about his health and potential coups have surfaced, but fact-checkers have repeatedly debunked them. The government even banned media talk of his health amid these claims, confirming he remains in good health.

I enrolled at UNIBEN after attending a top boarding school. I hoped to turn my time and resources into a solid career. Instead, I feel all my efforts were wasted.

I graduated with a 2.1 but got drawn into Bet9ja by mischievous classmates. Betting and womanising became my escape. Online loan apps fed my addiction and buried me in debt.

I chased a six-figure white-collar job in Sapele, Benin, Ughelli, and Asaba. Every interview ended in disappointment. Now my CV is damaged and my reputation destroyed.

I’ve spent over ₦2 million on feeding, books, fees, and accommodation. Today I hide from creditors, haunted by lost opportunities. I feel no different from a primary school dropout.

Manchester United are exploring a move for Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson in the upcoming transfer window. The Red Devils have already signed Matheus Cunha and are pursuing Bryan Mbeumo, but manager Erik ten Hag wants a proven goal-scorer.

Journalist Nabil Djellit reported that Chelsea will consider offers of around €70m for the 24-year-old Senegal international. Aston Villa, Napoli and AC Milan have also made enquiries.

Jackson joined Chelsea from Villarreal in 2023. He has scored 30 goals and provided 12 assists in 81 appearances.

He fears he could lose his place after Chelsea signed Liam Delap and Joao Pedro, and a final decision may wait until after the 2025 Fifa World Cup.

Philippians 2:9-11 reminds us that God has exalted Jesus above every name. At His name every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, bringing glory to God the Father.

The same Name that transformed Peter from a simple fisherman into a world-changer (Acts 3:6; Luke 22:30) still empowers us today. Colossians 3:17 urges us to do everything in the Name of the Lord Jesus and to give thanks through Him.

Let us spend time in worship and thanksgiving for the preciousness of Jesus’ Name. Without it, we would be vulnerable to the enemy’s schemes. As Proverbs 18:10 says, “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and are safe.”

Prayer: Lord, thank You for the victory, protection, and eternal hope we find in the Name of Jesus.
