Recent developments in Nigerian politics reveal a strong push from northern voices for Atiku Abubakar to step aside and endorse Peter Obi. They emphasize the need for Nigeria to prioritize national unity over personal ambitions, especially after the controversial 2023 elections.

A respected northern figure questioned Atiku's repeated attempts at presidency, highlighting that the 2023 election was stolen and that Obi was the rightful winner. The concern is that if Atiku runs again, it could split votes and allow Tinubu to win easily in 2027.

The call for fairness and regional balance is gaining momentum. Northerners are now advocating for Southeast leadership, recalling past leaders from other regions, and questioning the motives behind the coalition supporting Atiku. They urge transparent primaries and national polls to genuinely let Nigerians choose their leader.

This election cycle is seen as critical for Nigeria’s future—either to save the nation or risk further decline. The message is clear: Nigeria’s unity and progress should come before individual ambitions or party interests.

Just over 24 hours ago, God spared my life when armed men blocked the road and opened fire on travelers. They showed no regard for human life, even with multiple security checkpoints along the route.

It became clear that most checkpoints lack proper communication and a central command structure. Nigeria’s roads have deteriorated since the 2000s, and major routes like Abuja–Lokoja–Ajaokuta remain under construction after 25 years.

This situation demands urgent reform. Our security forces need better funding and salaries. We must also expand the national emergency number, 112, to improve coordination and combat this crime effectively.

Former Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom has expressed unwavering support for President Bola Tinubu’s bid for a second term in office. During an interactive session with journalists in Makurdi, Ortom emphasized the importance of maintaining the zoning arrangement that favors the South for the 2027 presidency.

Ortom also dismissed any plans to join coalitions aimed at unseating the APC in 2027. He highlighted his political journey across multiple parties and reaffirmed his loyalty to the PDP, stating he will support its candidates in future elections.

He reiterated his stance on the southern presidency, opposing northern candidates and supporting the continuation of power rotation between the North and South. Ortom praised Tinubu’s economic reforms and recent initiatives to address security challenges, especially land disputes and herder-farmer conflicts in Benue and beyond.

Nigeria's Federal Government, led by Minister of Power Adebayo Adelabu, has launched a groundbreaking $32.8 billion energy development initiative under the Mission 300 Compact. Announced at the Stakeholders Engagement Forum in Abuja, the plan aims to electrify 300 million unserved Africans by 2030, with Nigeria striving for universal access.

The project emphasizes attracting $15.5 billion in private sector investments, focusing on sustainable and bankable reforms. In partnership with the World Bank, African Development Bank (AfDB), and Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL), the initiative follows the Dar es Salaam Energy Summit held in January 2025. It seeks to increase Nigeria’s electricity access rate from 4% to 9% annually and improve clean cooking access from 22% to 25%.

A dedicated Compact Delivery and Monitoring Unit will oversee progress, addressing challenges like a N4 trillion debt owed to power generation companies and infrastructure vandalism. The plan includes implementing cost-reflective tariffs with targeted subsidies for vulnerable citizens, expanding renewable energy, and rural electrification efforts. Finance Minister Wale Edun reported a 40% increase in power distribution in early 2025 due to ongoing reforms.

This initiative aligns with President Tinubu’s broader infrastructure vision, which has received praise from notable figures like Aliko Dangote. Nigeria’s current power generation capacity of 4,500MW remains far below its potential of 13,000MW, highlighting the urgent need for these reforms as many companies abandon the national grid.

At the South West Zonal Caucus meeting in Ibadan, Governor Seyi Makinde appealed to all PDP members. He especially urged those in the coalition to remain committed to the party’s vision. He likened any split to abandoning a house over a minor leak.

‘You can’t abandon your house because of a leaking roof,’ Makinde said. He stressed that the PDP is built on solid foundations and faces only temporary wear and tear. He urged members to work together to fix the leaks.

Acknowledging past sacrifices, the governor reaffirmed his commitment to collaborate with all stakeholders. He called for unity and pledged to strengthen the party for future elections.

I started my business as a student at OAU campus, and it was thriving. In 2022, I raised ₦4 million from friends and family to expand, managing the funds carefully and paying back my investors with profits.

After graduating, I ventured into peer-to-peer crypto trading, which led to unforeseen legal issues. I received 'bad naira' from illicit sources, resulting in my bank accounts being frozen. Despite my efforts to resolve the matter legally and cooperate with authorities, I was charged with conspiracy and fraud, mainly due to Nigeria's stance on cryptocurrency.

Currently, I am under financial and emotional strain, having sold all my belongings and exhausted my resources. My investor demands the principal back, and I am seeking advice on how to navigate this crisis. I am willing to learn new skills or take on gigs to rebuild my life.

I am reaching out for guidance and support to find a way out of this difficult situation and to move forward positively.

An Israeli missile attack near Tripoli in northern Lebanon has resulted in at least three deaths and injured 13 others, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry. The strike targeted a vehicle in the Ayrounieh area, breaching a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.

Israel claims it targeted a senior Hamas figure, though no official confirmation or identification has been provided. Hamas sources and local reports suggest the attack may have failed to eliminate the intended target. Palestinian refugee camps, including Beddawi in Tripoli, remain areas of concern as tensions escalate.

Recent hostilities come amid ongoing conflicts involving Hezbollah and Palestinian factions, with Israel continuing strikes despite the ceasefire. The situation is complicated by regional diplomatic efforts, including visits by US officials aiming to disarm Hezbollah and promote peace in Lebanon.

The divine name Yahweh Elohim finds its fullness in Jesus Christ. Scripture shows that the God of Israel, the great I AM (Exodus 3:14), became flesh (John 1:14) to dwell among us. The Law and the Prophets foretold the coming Messiah as God Himself (Isaiah 53:4–6; Daniel 9:26).

Paul declares that Christ is “our righteousness” (1 Corinthians 1:30; Jeremiah 23:6). This truth is the highest form of worship. In Him lives all the fullness of Deity in bodily form (Colossians 2:9). The sacrifices of the Old Covenant pointed to Christ, the perfect Lamb of God (John 1:29; Hebrews 10:1–14).

Christ fulfilled the Law’s demands and established an eternal covenant (Matthew 5:17; Hebrews 13:20). Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8–9). Let every knee bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (Philippians 2:10–11).

Nigeria’s crude grades—including Bonny Light, Brass River and Qua Iboe—climbed to $72.30 a barrel on Tuesday, outpacing major global contracts. The spike follows fresh Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, which threaten supply routes and pushed oil futures to two-week highs.

US crude inventories unexpectedly rose by 7.1 million barrels last week, according to the American Petroleum Institute, weighing on prices. September Brent futures slipped back under $70, while West Texas Intermediate eased to $68 a barrel.

The Energy Information Administration now forecasts US output growth slowing to 13.37 million bpd in 2025 and flat thereafter, as drilling activity declines. Back home, Nigeria’s rig count jumped from 31 in January 2025 to 46, the NUPRC reports. Commission CEO Gbenga Komolafe says this boost supports the “Project One Million Barrels” goal and has already added 300,000 bpd to national output.

I’m reminding you not to support a candidate who lacks the capacity to lead. If you feel I’m targeting your choice, you know its shortcomings but still plan to vote for them.

I urge you to back someone credible, intelligent, and fit to govern. If your mind goes straight to one person when you hear “best for Nigeria,” then vote for them. Refusing to do so only harms your own future.

Let Me Re-echo This:

Scripture (1 Peter 5:8 NKJV): “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”

The devil hates us and wants to steal our joy and destiny. He uses sin to separate us from God’s perfect will. Sin is an intoxicant that makes us dare to live without our Creator.

Sexual pleasure outside God’s design is one of his most trusted allies. It leaves us vulnerable to spiritual attacks that can affect our finances, health, and relationships.

Confession:
I acknowledge that sex is a sacred act, designed by God for divine purposes. By His grace, I will honor and uphold its sanctity. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Shettima also mentioned other influential leaders like Nasir El-Rufai, noting the eclectic mix of friends and allies that shape Nigeria's political landscape. This underscores Kwankwaso's significant role and enduring impact in Nigerian politics, regardless of recent political changes.

If I tell you not to vote for someone who has no brain and you think I mean your candidate, you are right. You know that person is not fit to lead, yet you still back them. That choice is yours.

If I ask you to support someone credible and capable, and your mind jumps to a particular name, you know who is best for the nation. Refusing that choice only hurts you.

Some Osun APC youths and members marched to the party secretariat in Osogbo.

They carried placards and chanted slogans. They protested any plan to grant Governor Ademola Adeleke an automatic ticket for the 2026 governorship election. Youth leader Taofeek Afolabi said Adeleke must come and queue like every other aspirant.

An unnamed party official described the protest as unexpected. They warned it could create the impression of hidden sponsorship by party leaders.

The demonstration lasted several hours and ended peacefully. The APC has not issued an official statement on the matter.

This devotional explores the significance of praying in the name of Jesus, emphasizing His divine office and eternal authority. It highlights that Jesus' name carries power not just because of the name itself, but because of His position as Lord over all, established through His obedience and exaltation.

The message encourages believers to recognize the depth of Jesus' identity beyond His earthly name. It draws from scriptures like Philippians 2 and Psalm 110 to explain how Jesus' humility, sacrifice, and obedience led to His exaltation, making His name above every other.

Praying in His name is powerful because of His divine office and victorious life. When we call on Jesus, we are invoking His authority and the glory He has been given, which brings about great spiritual results. Let us bless His name and deepen our understanding of His divine role in our prayers and worship.

Peter Obi is reportedly considering a move to the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP). This comes amid disagreements within the ADC over the conduct of the 2027 presidential primaries, with some chieftains insisting that the candidate must emerge through transparent, duly conducted primaries.

Obi has never participated in any party primaries before. His departure from PDP was driven by the hope that the party would zone its 2023 ticket to the Southeast, allowing him to secure delegates and support for a consensus nomination. However, Atiku insisted that the ticket be open to all, which led Obi to leave.

Similarly, Giringory left the Labour Party because Abure announced that the 2027 ticket would be open for contest. If Giringory is uncomfortable contesting the LP presidential ticket, his confidence in ADC might also be low. It appears he is now seeking a party that will adopt him as a consensus candidate.

This situation highlights the ongoing negotiations and strategic moves among Nigerian politicians as they position themselves for future elections.

I’m here to argue that Luis Enrique’s style outshines Pep Guardiola’s. Pep has a treble with two clubs and league titles in multiple countries. Yet his possession-based play can feel robotic and slow.

Enrique’s approach at PSG feels more direct. Players like Doué, Dembélé, Kvara and Barcola run at defenders. They don’t hold the ball unnecessarily. Each attack can surprise you.

Some call Pep the greatest coach ever. I respect his achievements but prefer Enrique’s freedom-driven football. With the new season approaching, I wonder if Guardiola will stick to numbers while football also needs unpredictability.

A fierce political debate has emerged over claims by ex-presidential candidate Peter Obi concerning Nigeria’s rising debt under President Bola Tinubu. Obi alleged that Tinubu borrowed more than all previous presidents combined, sparking strong rebuttals. Tinubu’s aide, Daniel Bwala, dismissed Obi’s claim as a 'blatant distortion,' citing Debt Management Office data showing that Nigeria’s naira-denominated debt increased from ₦87 trillion in 2023 to ₦149 trillion in early 2025. Bwala also highlighted that Nigeria’s USD debt decreased slightly during the same period.

This controversy has fueled discussions on Nigeria’s debt management and economic stability. A Punch analysis supports the impact of currency devaluation, noting that the naira’s devaluation contributed significantly to the rise in external debt, aligning with reports from the World Bank about increasing debt service costs for developing nations. The debate underscores the complex challenges Nigeria faces in balancing debt repayment with development priorities.
