In Ogun State politics, fierce storms rise with every election cycle. Opposition forces attacked in 2019 and again in 2023, but both times they crashed against Dapo Abiodun’s proven record of progress.

The 2019 campaign brought rallies and strategic moves to unseat him, yet the people chose continuity and development. Four years later, coalitions of convenience and digital campaigns tried to tarnish his achievements, but Abiodun’s unwavering focus on growth prevailed.

Now, as 2027 draws near, the same voices may return with recycled rhetoric. Ogun East voters have seen the roads, factories, and reforms that define his tenure. They value performance over empty promises.

With a solid track record and steadfast leadership, Dapo Abiodun is poised to triumph once more in the 2027 Senate race for Ogun East.

Twice They Came. Twice They Failed. 2027 Won’t Be Different — Abiodun Will..

After Two Failed Attempts, Abiodun’s 2027 Victory Is Inevitable

We often assume each drug serves only one purpose, like Paracetamol for headaches or Insulin for diabetes. But doctors sometimes discover extra benefits once a medicine is on the market. This practice is called “off-label” use. 

Below is a clear list of 50 everyday medicines and their proven off-label uses, from managing PCOS with Metformin to easing chemotherapy nausea with Lorazepam. Each entry shows the drug, its standard use, and the additional condition it can help treat.

This information is for educational purposes only. Always consult a licensed medical professional before using any medication off-label.

In global finance, trust is as valuable as capital. The World Bank’s latest decision shakes this foundation.

The Bank has debarred three PwC Africa entities in Mauritius, Kenya, and Rwanda for 21 months. They were found guilty of collusion, improper procurement practices, and hiding key subconsultants in the Eastern Electricity Highway Project.

That project aimed to transmit hydropower from Ethiopia into Kenya. It promised reliable power for homes, factories, and startups. When governance breaks down at the top, communities and businesses suffer the consequences.

PwC has admitted misconduct and agreed to internal investigations, disciplinary actions, and stronger compliance measures. Rebuilding integrity will be slow and deliberate, but it is essential for Africa’s development.

The Diplomatic Correspondents Association of Nigeria (DICAN) will hold its second International Conference on Diplomatic, Security, Trade and Investment on May 20, 2026, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Abuja. This year’s summit will tackle Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI), a growing form of hybrid warfare that threatens international relations and global trade.

DICAN Chairman Idehai Frederick said the event aims to promote collaborative truth as a tool for strengthening security and economic stability. “A secure information environment is essential for strong trade and investment,” he noted. “Misinformation can scare away investors and destabilize markets.”

The summit will bring together diplomats, intelligence experts, media professionals, and business leaders to develop international frameworks that counter state-sponsored disinformation. Key discussions will cover threat detection, neutralization strategies, and promoting accurate reporting to protect national interests.

Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, will deliver the keynote address alongside the EU Ambassador to Nigeria and ECOWAS, Gautier Mignot. Regulators, security experts, and private-sector leaders will also participate. The conference builds on DICAN’s successful maiden edition in July 2025, which attracted over 60 diplomatic missions and civil society organisations.

The National Executive Council (NEC) of the Labour Party has disbanded the Esther Nenadi Usman–led Caretaker Committee. It simultaneously reaffirmed its support for the National Working Committee under Barrister Julius Abure. The decision emerged from a virtual NEC meeting on March 17, 2026, with all state chairmen and secretaries present.

NEC reviewed the caretaker committee’s actions and found them unlawful and damaging to the party’s interests. Members unanimously agreed to dissolve the committee following calls for a proper NEC session in the Tribune’s March 6 publication.

The council has now directed National Chairman Julius Abure to notify the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). This step will pave the way for party primaries ahead of the 2027 general elections, aligning with INEC’s timetable.

In 2025, the United States secured its position as the world’s largest crude oil producer, pumping 13.58 million barrels per day and accounting for 16% of global output. Key U.S. production comes from the Permian Basin, alongside major reserves in Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico.

Five Middle Eastern nations—Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, the UAE, and Kuwait—rank among the global top ten producers. Their location along the Persian Gulf underscores the region’s pivotal role in oil markets and highlights how events near the Strait of Hormuz can disrupt supply.

Outside OPEC, Canada and China each produced over 4 million barrels per day in 2025. Russia and Brazil also work with OPEC+ to manage output. This spread of production across continents shows how a handful of leading countries shape global oil dynamics.

A viral video is sparking fresh debate about electoral violence in Nigeria. A group of alleged political thugs has openly threatened to withdraw their support from politicians over neglect and exploitation.

In the footage, their spokesperson accuses politicians of using them during elections without long-term benefits. He demands ₦40 million or they will quit political activities for good.

The outburst has reignited concerns over youth unemployment, political manipulation and weak enforcement of electoral laws. Many Nigerians took to social media to call for stronger accountability and tougher measures against election‐related violence.

Minister of Works David Umahi was named the 2025 Infrastructure Transformation Icon by Al Jazeera Media Group. The award ceremony took place in Abuja on March 18 after months of evaluation.

Organisers praised Umahi’s leadership under President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda. Key projects highlighted include the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, the Second Niger Bridge, and the Mararaba-Keffi corridor.

An independent 2024 investigation found no evidence of corruption linked to the minister. The award committee said its upcoming 2025 anti-corruption report will reinforce these findings.

Saad Abubakar III, President-General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, has declared Friday, March 20, 2026, as the official date for Eid-el-Fitr in Nigeria.

Two friends, known locally as Yahoo boys, visited an iPhone shop yesterday to buy gifts for their girlfriends. They selected three iPhone 15 Pro Max units and one iPhone 16, totaling over N5 million.

They showed proof of payment, but the shop owner soon discovered the transfer was fraudulent. A crowd gathered as the owner confronted them outside the store.

The pair admitted it was a fake transaction. The owner reclaimed all the phones, tied the suspects together, and delivered them to the police station.

I’ve been meaning to share this observation for nearly two years. Back then, something about Kamo and Funke Akindele caught my eye.

I stumbled across a sequence of videos on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. As someone who pays attention to the smallest details, I immediately sensed Kamo’s deliberate approach long before anyone else did.

In Nigeria’s often sexually open entertainment world, many things happen. But this stood out. The timing, the characters involved, and Kamo’s careful planning made it unforgettable. Now, I finally record what I saw.

A 27-year-old Nigerian national was arrested in Umbilo, KwaZulu-Natal after authorities found high-purity cocaine worth over R600,000 (approx. N49m). He entered South Africa on a student visa and was intercepted on March 16 by the Metro Police Tactical Support Unit, Metro Police Task Team and SAPS KZN Counter Narcotics.

Officers discovered a stash of cocaine hidden in a sock and uncovered additional drugs during a follow-up search of his flat. This suspect was previously arrested in 2025 for possession of cocaine valued at more than R400,000.

Investigators say large sums continued to flow into his bank account even after his arrest. The case has been referred to the Asset Forfeiture Unit. Several other suspects linked to the syndicate have also been detained, and the investigation remains ongoing.

Today, March 19, 2026, I was led by the Holy Spirit to address the viral videos showing underage students bullying and assaulting younger peers at Igbinedion Education Centre in Benin City. Juvenile delinquency covers illegal or antisocial acts by minors, from truancy to violent crime.

I call on our security forces to arrest and prosecute those responsible. They should be placed in juvenile facilities with rehabilitation programs. This decisive action can deter others from similar offenses.

Parents, remember Proverbs 22:6: “Train up a child in the way he should go…” Character, discipline, and empathy start at home. Schools must pair academic learning with character formation. Only then can we protect families and communities from shame and harm.

I’ve been digging into why many Nigerian dealerships spend heavily on Google Ads and social media yet see poor sales conversions. From my chats with sales teams, the core issue isn’t lead generation but how leads are handled once they arrive.

Calls from interested customers often go unanswered or are delayed. Test drive requests get forgotten. Sales, service, and customer care teams work in silos. During promotions, enquiries spike but there’s no system to manage the influx. Teams also lack a unified view of past interactions.

Some dealerships improved results only after they prioritized incoming leads, set up structured follow-ups, integrated their CRM with calling systems, and logged every customer conversation. It seems lead management, not lead volume, makes the real difference.

I’d love to hear from others: Are automotive businesses here still relying on manual processes to handle leads? Or is there another gap we’re missing?
