World Cup Qualifiers: Peter Obi Slams FG Over Unpaid Super Eagles Allowances

Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi has strongly criticized the Federal Government over reports that the Super Eagles boycotted training ahead of Thursday’s crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup playoff against Gabon in Rabat, Morocco. Obi expressed disappointment that players representing Nigeria continue to be owed allowances, describing the situation as “truly unfortunate” and shameful, with “needless lavish spending and political patronage” prioritized over rewarding service and patriotism. Obi urged authorities to resolve the standoff and ensure athletes are treated with dignity and paid promptly. The boycott disrupted preparations just two days before the vital qualifier match that could determine Nigeria’s spot at the World Cup in the US, Canada, and Mexico. Reports indicate unresolved financial issues between the team and football authorities, with all squad members and staff refusing to train over unpaid bonuses. Obi warned this sends the wrong […]

FG Bans Production, Sale of Alcohol in Sachets, Small Bottles

The Federal Government has officially banned the production, sale, and distribution of alcoholic beverages packaged in sachets and bottles below 200ml, with full enforcement beginning January 1, 2026.

Trump: Diplomatic Engagements Yielding Results — FG

The Federal Government of Nigeria says ongoing diplomatic dialogue with the US under President Trump is producing “positive results,” opening channels for mutual understanding and practical cooperation on security, economic, and religious tensions. Information Minister Mohammed Idris highlights better US appreciation of Nigeria's complex social challenges and urges continued partnership to combat terrorism. US Congressman Bill Huizenga criticizes Nigeria’s handling of Christian attacks, advocating economic sanctions over military intervention and calling out failures to protect all citizens. US-Nigeria ties face scrutiny after Trump’s viral remarks threatening intervention. Nigerian leaders argue for economic pressure rather than armed response. Vatican Envoy Archbishop Fortunatus Nwachukwu and Northern CAN urge dialogue, not anger, to resolve religious violence, while Afenifere warns against full-scale US military campaigns—advocates intelligence sharing and limited operations via drones instead. Senator Orji Kalu affirms both Christians and Muslims are victims of […]

Presidency Eyes NNPC Shake-Up As Oil Output Falters

The Nigerian presidency is considering major reforms at the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) amid concerns over faltering oil production. Special Adviser on Energy, Olu Verheijen, announced at a petroleum conference in Lagos that Nigeria’s goal of producing 3 million barrels per day requires more than the current NNPC structure and output. NNPC Exploration & Production Limited currently produces only 220,000 barrels/day, less than 10% of national output, and struggles with the financial capacity to fund new drilling campaigns. Verheijen advocated for “performance-based stewardship” and suggested restructuring asset ownership to involve reputable operators with strong technical and financial capacity, instead of relying solely on NNPC. She outlined four pillars for revitalizing the energy sector: reserves, revenues, reliability, and responsibility. Nigeria has secured $8bn in new investment and targets another $20bn for expansion into gas, petrochemicals, and refining. NNPC Chairman […]

 Oyo Road Protest Over Extension Leaves Motorists Stranded

Motorists were left stranded in Ibadan as thousands of residents affected by the Ibadan Circular Road Corridor project staged a peaceful protest against the proposed road extension. The demonstration began at the Ibadan-Ife road, causing a major traffic jam, with protesters later marching through Idi-Ape to the State Secretariat, Agodi. Protesters, carrying placards and banners, demanded that the Oyo State Government stick to the original 150-metre corridor marked by ex-Governor Rashidi Ladoja, rather than expanding it—fearing more houses and community land will be affected. They insisted the protest was non-partisan and not sponsored by politicians. Over 100 impacted communities, spanning seven local governments, participated in the protest. The demonstration led to the temporary shutdown of the state secretariat and disrupted businesses and commuters until order was restored. Protesters called on Governor Seyi Makinde to respect previous agreements, warning of further […]

Trump Takes Swipe at France: “We’ve Had a Lot of Problems”

US President Donald Trump, in a Fox News interview, took aim at France stating, “We’ve had a lot of problems with the French.” The comments came after Fox’s Laura Ingraham mentioned Chinese students in US universities, prompting Trump to compare them with the French, questioning if the French are “better.” Trump referenced France’s digital taxation policies, arguing the US is unfairly taxed by France on American technology companies. He has previously vowed “substantial” tariffs against countries enacting such “discriminatory” digital taxes. The comment also touched on Trump’s complicated, sometimes tense relationship with French President Emmanuel Macron. The two have had both public displays of camaraderie and disagreements, particularly over climate, Palestine, and European defense through NATO. Trump called for Europe, and specifically France, to increase defense spending via NATO and criticized France’s handling of Ukraine military support. The remarks come […]
