Baba-Ahmed urges Tinubu to address Nigerians on Trump’s threat

Former Presidential Adviser, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has urged President Bola Tinubu to personally address Nigerians following the recent military threat issued by United States President Donald Trump. In a statement posted on his Facebook page on Thursday, Baba-Ahmed expressed worry over the President’s continued silence after Trump accused Nigeria of allowing the killing of Christians and warned of a possible U.S. military response. He said the President’s failure to speak directly to Nigerians could be perceived as a sign of weakness at a time when decisive leadership and reassurance are needed. “If President Tinubu truly has capable advisers and understands the weight of his office, he should have spoken to Nigerians by now,” Baba-Ahmed said. “This is not the time for ministers or aides to issue statements. The President himself should reassure the country, clarify Nigeria’s position, and outline the steps […]

Calls grow for referendum amid dispute over Constitution reform

A renewed push for a referendum in Nigeria’s Constitution has sparked nationwide debate among legal experts, civil society groups, and regional organisations. Many describe the current system as elite-driven and undemocratic, calling for a people-endorsed Constitution that reflects true national consensus. Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Wole Olanipekun, recently described the absence of a referendum clause in the 1999 Constitution as a major flaw. His remarks reignited public concern over how Nigeria’s constitutions have historically been imposed without popular ratification. Since independence, no Nigerian constitution has ever been approved through a national referendum. Under the current arrangement, amendments require the support of two-thirds of both chambers of the National Assembly and at least two-thirds of state Houses of Assembly. Critics argue that this legislative process excludes the citizens whose lives the laws govern. Groups such as Afenifere, Yoruba Ronu, PANDEF, and […]

Saviour Nyong, has appealed to the people of Bakassi to unite and support the Governor of Cross River State, Senator Bassey Otu, in the ongoing efforts to promote peace, stability, and development in the area.

He noted that no community can thrive in division and that only a united Bakassi can attract meaningful attention and intervention. He called on all indigenes of Bakassi to give the governor their full backing, both physically and spiritually, especially concerning the unresolved matters from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling that ceded parts of Bakassi. “This is not the time for conflict or internal discord,” Nyong stated.

Victor Osimhen delivered a stunning performance for Galatasaray on Wednesday night, scoring a hat-trick against Ajax in the UEFA Champions League to set multiple new records. The match, played at the Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam, ended 3-0 in favour of Galatasaray.

He is also the first Galatasaray player to score a brace in two consecutive European […]

Hezbollah rejects any Lebanon-Israel negotiations, vows to defend itself

Hezbollah has rejected the possibility of political negotiations between Lebanon and Israel, declaring on Thursday that any such dialogue would “not serve the national interest.” The statement, released amid mounting U.S. and Egyptian pressure on Beirut to open talks with Tel Aviv, reaffirmed the Iran-backed group’s stance as tensions rise along the Israel-Lebanon border. A source close to Hezbollah’s political leadership told AFP that the declaration followed renewed diplomatic efforts to encourage direct negotiations between the two countries, which remain technically at war. In an open letter to the Lebanese people and government, Hezbollah said, “We reject any political negotiations with the Zionist enemy and reaffirm our legitimate right to defend ourselves against an enemy that imposes war on our country and does not cease its attacks.” While Lebanon’s military has largely stayed out of hostilities, Hezbollah — the only […]

Elon Musk’s record $1 trillion Tesla pay package faces shareholder vote

Tesla shareholders are set to vote Thursday on whether to approve a record-breaking $1 trillion pay package for CEO Elon Musk — a deal that could cement his control over the company but has drawn intense scrutiny from investors and governance experts. The package, tied to performance-based milestones in market capitalization, profit, and production, would be the largest compensation deal in corporate history. If approved, it could raise Musk’s ownership stake in Tesla from about 12 percent to over 25 percent. Tesla Chair Robin Denholm has led a public campaign in recent weeks to rally support for the plan, arguing that Musk’s leadership is vital to maintaining the company’s innovative edge. “Without Elon, Tesla could lose significant value, as our company may no longer be valued for what we aim to become — a transformative force in mobility, energy, and […]

Miss Universe pageant in Thailand hit by controversy and drama

This year’s Miss Universe pageant in Thailand has been overshadowed by controversy and emotional drama, following a heated dispute involving a contestant and the event’s host. More than 120 women from around the world are competing for the Miss Universe crown, but the lead-up to the event has been dominated by off-stage scandals rather than glamour. The drama erupted when Mexico’s representative, Fatima Bosch, walked out of a meeting after Thai host Nawat Itsaragrisil allegedly insulted her intelligence. The confrontation, captured on a livestream, showed Nawat appearing to call Bosch a “dumbhead” over her failure to post promotional content online — a claim he later denied. After security was called in, Bosch walked out of the room, joined by Miss Iraq. “What your director did is not respectful. He called me dumb,” Bosch told reporters. “The world needs to see […]

South Africa receives distress calls from citizens trapped in Ukraine war

The South African government says it has received pleas for help from 17 citizens who joined mercenary forces fighting in Ukraine’s Donbas region and now want to return home. In a statement on Thursday, the presidency said the men, aged between 20 and 39, had contacted South African authorities seeking assistance to leave the war zone. The war, which began with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, has attracted foreign fighters from around the world, including several from African nations. According to the presidency, the South Africans were “lured to join mercenary forces involved in the Ukraine-Russia war under the pretext of lucrative employment contracts.” It did not specify which side they were fighting for. President Cyril Ramaphosa has ordered an investigation into how South African citizens were recruited to fight in the conflict. The government reminded citizens that it […]

US military drafts intervention plan for Nigeria amid Trump’s genocide claims

The United States military has reportedly developed plans for possible intervention in Nigeria following President Donald Trump’s claim that a “Christian genocide” is taking place in the country. Trump recently said on social media that “Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria,” alleging that thousands of Christians have been killed by “radical Islamists.” He then directed the Pentagon to prepare an intervention plan. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth immediately responded, instructing the Africa Command (AFRICOM) to submit operational options for possible strikes. According to reports, AFRICOM, headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, has presented three options — light, medium, and heavy — outlining escalating levels of military involvement. Light OptionThe light option involves “partner-enabled operations,” where the US military and State Department would assist Nigerian forces in targeting Boko Haram and other insurgent groups operating mainly in northern Nigeria.Under this plan, […]
