Iran Declares End to Nuclear Deal Restrictions

Iran announced on Saturday that it is no longer bound by restrictions on its nuclear programme, marking the official expiration of a landmark 10-year deal with world powers. Despite the move, Tehran reaffirmed its “commitment to diplomacy.” The 2015 nuclear accord, signed in Vienna by Iran, the United States, China, Russia, France, Britain, and Germany, had lifted international sanctions in exchange for limits on Iran’s nuclear activities. However, the agreement began to unravel after the United States withdrew under President Donald Trump in 2018, prompting Iran to roll back its commitments. The United Nations reinstated sanctions last month at the request of Britain, France, and Germany, effectively ending the deal. In a statement, Iran’s foreign ministry said, “All provisions of the deal, including restrictions on Iran’s nuclear programme and related mechanisms, are now terminated.” It added that Iran remains committed […]

Trump Urges Zelensky to ‘Make a Deal’ After Missile Plea Fails

US President Donald Trump has urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to “make a deal” with Russia, signaling a shift in Washington’s stance on the war in Ukraine. Zelensky met Trump at the White House on Friday, hoping to secure long-range US-made Tomahawk missiles. However, Trump declined to approve the request, saying both sides should instead end the fighting and reach an agreement. “The talks were very interesting and cordial,” Trump said on social media after the meeting. “But I told him, as I did President Putin, that it is time to stop the killing and make a deal. Let both claim victory, and let history decide.” Trump later told reporters that Ukraine and Russia should “stop right now at the battle line,” adding that pushing beyond current positions would “get too complicated.” Zelensky said Trump did not reject the missile […]

Court Stops Nigerian Govt From Deregistering Youth Council NYCN

A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the Nigerian government to halt its plan to deregister the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN). The order stops the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and the Ministry of Youth Development from withdrawing the council's certificate of registration until a legal dispute is resolved. The case was filed by the NYCN's President, Amb. Sukubo Sara-Igbe Sukubo, after the Ministry announced the council's deregistration on October 7th, despite his recent re-election. Justice B. F. M. Nyako gave the order on October 15, 2025, directing all parties to "maintain the status quo." This means the NYCN will continue to operate as normal for now, and its leadership remains recognized. The court has instructed the defendants—the CAC and the Youth Ministry—to be formally notified of the lawsuit. The case has been adjourned to October 28, 2025, […]

Wike Condemns Police, Vows Law After Demolishing Illegal Estate

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has strongly criticized the Nigerian Police Force for defying urban planning laws, leading to the demolition of its own multi-million naira housing estate. The illegal estate, located in the Gudu district of Abuja, was built directly under high-tension power lines and on land reserved for a future bridge. The FCT Administration demolished the nearly-completed project on Thursday after the police developers ignored multiple warnings and continued construction without approval. During a visit to the site, a visibly concerned Wike described the situation as "unfortunate" and a clear public safety risk. He emphasized that no institution is above the law. "The development control said no. There’s no way they would grant approval... They asked them to stop, they refused to stop," Wike stated. He confirmed that police officers had arrested FCT […]

Nollywood producer Seun Oloketuyi has stated that his upcoming political movie, 'The Exco,' is his personal form of protest against leadership failure in Nigeria.

Army Colonel Sworn In as Madagascar President After Military Takeover

An army colonel, Michael Randrianirina, has been sworn in as the new president of Madagascar. This follows a military takeover that forced former president Andry Rajoelina to flee the country. The swearing-in ceremony took place in the capital, Antananarivo, just days after Colonel Randrianirina's army unit mutinied and sided with anti-government protesters. The constitutional court then impeached Rajoelina for "desertion of duty." In his speech, the new president called the event a "historic turning point" and promised to break from the past. He pledged to draft a new constitution and hold elections within 18 to 24 months. He insisted the country would not be run by a military regime but by a civilian government. Randrianirina has denied that the takeover was a coup, pointing to the court's backing. He stated the army intervened to "avoid anarchy and disorder," thanking the […]
