Considering graduate studies in the US? The GRE (Graduate Record Examination) remains a vital part of the application process, especially for funding opportunities. Even if some programs make it optional, a high GRE score can significantly enhance your chances of securing scholarships, fellowships, and assistantships.

A good GRE score not only makes you more competitive but also helps compensate if your undergraduate GPA isn't perfect. Many universities use GRE results to identify promising candidates for financial aid and research roles.

A dedicated effort can lead to a score that opens doors to funding and academic opportunities.

A faction of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has publicly rejected the opposition coalition's attempt to adopt and use the party as their platform. In a statement, Musa Isa Matara, the party's national publicity secretary, emphasized that ADC is not a private or elite-driven platform to be hijacked.

He expressed concern that key stakeholders, including state executives, youth and women leaders, and ward coordinators, were not consulted before the coalition decision. The faction warns against imposition and warns new members to be cautious of individuals trying to sell the party's integrity for personal gain.

While the opposition leaders and some ADC members met in Abuja to form a coalition and appointed new interim leaders, the ADC faction maintains that the party's sovereignty must be respected.

Nigeria's total public debt increased to ₦149.38 trillion in the first quarter of 2025, a rise of ₦4.72 trillion from the previous quarter, according to the Debt Management Office (DMO). The growth is mainly due to ongoing budget deficits and the weakening of the naira, which has inflated the local currency value of external borrowings.

The debt now represents a 3.3% increase from the end of 2024. External debt stands at ₦70.63 trillion ($45.9 billion), while domestic debt is ₦78.75 trillion ($51.2 billion). The naira's sharp decline, averaging ₦1,330.26 to the dollar, has made Nigeria’s debt burden heavier in local currency terms, even though dollar obligations increased modestly. External debt rose by $3.86 billion, but foreign exchange fluctuations caused a significant jump in the naira equivalent.

The Department of Religion and Cultural Studies at Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State, recently hosted its first symposium titled “Charms and Security Challenges in Modern Igbo Society.” The event aimed to explore the role of traditional charms, known as ‘juju,’ in contemporary Igbo communities and their impact on security and social cohesion.

The symposium attracted scholars, students, and community leaders. Dr. Ifeanyi Okeke, the department head, emphasized the importance of understanding indigenous practices and their influence on modern societal issues. He highlighted concerns about the misuse of charms by criminals and called for responsible research and dialogue to preserve cultural heritage while promoting lawful behavior.

Keynote speaker Dr. Kingsley Okoro discussed the resurgence of traditional charms and their perceived protective powers. He stressed that while these practices are part of Igbo spirituality, their misuse poses challenges for law enforcement and community trust.

This message is for my brothers who are trying to improve their health and vitality with herbs and supplements.

Many are taking garlic, honey, imported capsules, or bitters but still see no improvement.

The truth is, herbs are effective, but your lifestyle might be undoing their benefits. Factors like poor sleep and unhealthy eating habits can harm sperm health and reduce the effectiveness of natural remedies.

Getting enough quality sleep and reducing screen time before bed can help restore hormones and boost testosterone. Also, cutting down on sugar, processed foods, and fried items can improve overall masculinity and sperm quality. Focus on eating whole foods like yams, plantains, vegetables, and fruits for better results.

Remember, a healthy lifestyle supports the herbs you take. Make these changes for better health and vitality.

I mean no disrespect to any tribe, but some questions need answers. I've lived for over 42 years and have observed many philanthropists from the eastern region actively involved in national development across Nigeria.

For example, Rochas Okorocha established his foundation in the North before entering politics. Orji Uzor Kalu has contributed to philanthropy in the North and West. Many Igbo sons and daughters have played roles in promoting unity and development nationwide. Recently, AirPeace has provided assistance during crises.

However, I have never seen wealthy Hausa, Fulani, or Yoruba individuals engage in philanthropy in the East. Does this mean Igbos are so rich and self-sufficient that they don't need external help? Or do other regions simply not participate in philanthropy there? Why is it that other regions don't extend their charitable efforts to the East like the Igbo do within their own communities?

Prostatitis is an inflammation or infection of the prostate gland that affects many men, especially over 40. It can cause symptoms like pelvic pain, frequent urination, and sexual difficulties. Many men overlook its importance, but untreated prostatitis may lead to serious health issues.

While there’s no direct evidence linking prostatitis to prostate cancer, chronic inflammation could increase the risk of precancerous changes over time. Early treatment and awareness are crucial to maintaining prostate health and preventing complications.

If you notice symptoms of prostatitis, consult a healthcare professional promptly. Managing prostatitis with medication, lifestyle changes, or natural remedies like herbal supplements can help you recover faster and avoid long-term problems. Sharing your experiences can also encourage others to prioritize their prostate health.

The people of Enyim Agalegu Edukwu Opeke in Ebonyi State have raised serious concerns about illegal underground mining activities by a Chinese company.

The community urges the government to intervene immediately to stop the illegal operations and prevent a possible disaster.

Excitement grew in Eleme as flames rose from the Port Harcourt Refinery (PH R2) on Sunday, June 29, 2025. This visible flare indicates the refinery is undergoing testing, fueling hopes that it will soon resume full production.

Located in Alesa Eleme near Port Harcourt, the refinery's testing phase has sparked optimism among petroleum marketers. They believe the 150,000-barrel capacity plant is close to restarting operations, which could lead to more affordable and available petrol in Nigeria.

Since 2021, over a billion dollars has been invested in rehabilitating the Port Harcourt refineries. The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has promised that the refinery will begin production before the end of 2025. The old refinery, shut down last month for emergency repairs, is also testing and may soon resume work.

Marketers are urging the production of petrol (Premium Motor Spirit) at the refinery, which has so far only produced kerosene and diesel. Local petrol production could help stabilize prices and reduce reliance on imports, easing pressure on the naira. Calls for appointing a dedicated General Manager aim to speed up the refinery’s completion and operation.

Today, the Lagos State Government commissioned significant road projects in Alimosho, including Abaranje Road in Igando-Ikotun and the newly renamed Babajide Sanwo-Olu Road in Dopemu.

Abaranje Road, which was previously nearly impassable, has been transformed into a modern dual carriageway with improved drainage, streetlights, and pedestrian walkways. In Dopemu, a 1.8 km busy road has been reconstructed to accommodate the increasing population and traffic demands.

These improvements are expected to reduce travel time, enhance safety, boost local businesses, and provide relief to residents and commuters. Additionally, a plan is underway to build a flyover at Ikotun Roundabout, a notorious traffic congestion point, to ease daily gridlock.

Alimosho is just the beginning; more development projects are on the horizon as Lagos continues to improve infrastructure for its residents.
