Is Nigeria Cursed, or Are We the Curse? — Obi Laments Over Insecurity

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, has decried the country’s worsening insecurity in a heartfelt post. Listing abductions and attacks over the past ten days—including kidnappings of Defence officials, students, worshippers, and farmers—Obi argues Nigeria’s “chaos” is due to collective leadership failures that have allowed lawlessness and violence to thrive. Obi claims no one, not even those tasked with security, is safe and warns that leaders have chosen “comfort over courage, politics over people, and power over purpose.” He insists the tragedies facing Nigerians—school abductions, attacks on worshippers, and erosion of democratic institutions—are not inevitable, but the result of failed governance. Calling for urgent reform, Obi says Nigeria must rise above indifference and excuses, and leaders must protect every community, child, and citizen. “You deserve safety, you deserve peace,” he concludes, urging Nigerians to demand a competent, compassionate […]

Alleged Cybercrime: Judge’s Absence Stalls Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s Trial

The trial of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, facing six counts of alleged cybercrime, was postponed at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday as Justice Mohammed Umar was absent.

EU, Africa Leaders to Talk Trade and Minerals as Ukraine Looms Large

Dozens of EU and African leaders, including France’s Emmanuel Macron, Germany’s Friedrich Merz, and Kenya’s William Ruto, assemble in Angola for a summit focused on trade, migration, and securing Africa’s critical raw materials. The summit, marking 25 years of EU–African Union relations, is set against tense US–EU diplomatic rifts over Washington’s Ukraine peace plan, widely criticized as favoring Moscow. Efforts to revamp EU-Africa ties reflect new competition from China, Russia, Gulf states, and Turkey, with Africa no longer relying solely on Europe as a partner. The EU remains the continent’s largest investor and commercial counterpart, but resentment over colonial history and China’s growing presence threaten its influence. Key priorities include: Boosting intra-African trade and economic development, with EU support for major infrastructure projects like Angola’s Lobito railway corridor. Tackling migration and security cooperation. Ensuring Africa’s voice in global governance. Securing […]
