Jonathan Fully Eligible for 2027 Presidency – Cousin

Former President Goodluck Jonathan is legally and constitutionally qualified to contest the 2027 presidential election, his cousin Azibaola Robert has said. Azibaola, a lawyer and former pro-democracy activist, made the statement in response to recent comments by senior legal figures, including Minister of Aviation Festus Keyamo (SAN) and human rights lawyer Professor Chidi Odinkalu, who questioned Jonathan’s eligibility. Writing on his Facebook page, Azibaola stressed that there is no legal barrier to Jonathan’s candidacy. “GEJ is 100% constitutionally and legally qualified to contest if he chooses to. If he decides not to yield to the overwhelming calls to contest, it would not be because he is not qualified,” he wrote. He added that Jonathan, a former president and experienced leader, has access to a team of legal advisers and does not require public reminders about his rights under Nigerian law. […]

FG Moves to Strengthen Health Financing, Cut Foreign Aid Reliance

The Federal Government has reaffirmed its plan to boost health financing by mobilising more domestic resources and reducing dependence on foreign aid. The goal is to make quality healthcare accessible to all Nigerians without pushing families into financial hardship. Speaking at the National Health Financing Policy Dialogue in Abuja on Monday, the Minister of State for Health, Dr. Adekunle Salako, said Nigeria aims to enroll at least 44 million citizens in the National Health Insurance Scheme by 2030. This move, he explained, will reduce out-of-pocket health expenses, which currently stand at about 70 percent — one of the highest rates globally. The dialogue, themed “Reimagining a New Era of Health Financing,” was organised by the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) to chart sustainable funding strategies for universal health coverage (UHC). Salako noted that President Bola Tinubu has prioritised health reforms […]

WHO: 400,000 Children Diagnosed with Cancer Annually, Calls for Action to Bridge Survival Gap

As the world observes Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, the World Health Organization (WHO) has revealed that nearly 400,000 children are diagnosed with cancer every year—equivalent to three children every four minutes. WHO highlighted a troubling disparity in survival rates: while over 80% of children in high-income countries survive cancer, only about 20% in low- and middle-income nations live beyond the disease. The organisation described this as “one of the most significant inequalities across cancer types.” The issue was underscored during a national childhood cancer stakeholder workshop in Egypt, where survivors shared their personal journeys.One survivor reflected: “Cancer tried to break me, but the support of my doctors, family, and friends gave me strength. Today, I live to tell my story.” Another added: “The bonds I formed with other children battling cancer gave me hope on the darkest days.” Egypt’s Minister […]

Hamas Rejects Trump’s Proposal for US Control of Gaza

Hamas has strongly rejected a reported plan by US President Donald Trump for the United States to assume control of Gaza and relocate its population. The Washington Post revealed on Sunday that the White House was reviewing a 38-page proposal that would place Gaza under US trusteeship for at least 10 years. The plan envisions transforming the war-torn territory into a tourism hub and technology center, with new “AI-powered smart cities” built in place of destroyed neighborhoods. Trump previously suggested in February that Gaza could be turned into “the Riviera of the Middle East” once its Palestinian residents were moved out. The idea sparked swift outrage across the Arab world. Palestinians compared it to the Nakba of 1948, when hundreds of thousands were displaced during the creation of Israel. A Hamas official, speaking anonymously, told AFP the group “rejects all […]

Finnish Court Jails Simon Ekpa Six Years for Terrorism

A Finnish court has sentenced Nigerian-born Finnish politician, Simon Ekpa, to six years in prison for terrorism-related crimes and other offences. The Päijät-Häme District Court in Lahti delivered the judgment on Monday, convicting the 40-year-old of multiple charges including participation in a terrorist organisation, incitement to commit crimes for terrorist purposes, aggravated tax fraud, and violations of the Lawyers Act. The court also ordered that he remain in custody. According to court records, between August 2021 and November 2024, Ekpa used social media to promote the independence of the so-called Biafra region in southeastern Nigeria through illegal means. Judges said he exploited divisions within a separatist movement to assume an influential role, helping to structure it into a more organised group. The court found that under Ekpa’s influence, armed groups classified as terrorist organisations were formed. He was accused of […]

Liverpool vs Arsenal: Gunners Aim to End 12-Year Anfield Drought in Title Chase

Arsenal travel to Anfield on Sunday seeking their first Premier League win at Liverpool since 2012—a result that could inject momentum into their title ambitions. The Gunners arrive unbeaten after two league matches, boasting the division’s best defensive record, while champions Liverpool have shown early defensive frailties, conceding goals despite their attacking strength. History, though, is against Mikel Arteta’s men. Liverpool remain unbeaten at home in August since 2015 and have scored in 36 consecutive league games, closing in on a club milestone. Arsenal are winless in their last 12 league trips to Anfield, their last victory coming 12 years ago. Arsenal’s preparations are clouded by injuries, with Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, Martin Ødegaard, and Gabriel Jesus either out or doubtful. But new £68 million signing Eberechi Eze could make his debut. Arteta praised the midfielder’s “special aura” in training […]

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) says more than 23,659 people remain missing in Nigeria, leaving at least 13,595 families in distress, most of them women bearing the weight of uncertainty and hardship. This was disclosed on Sunday by Ishaku Luka, Protection of Family Links Team Leader of the ICRC in Damaturu, during activities to mark the International Day of the Disappeared.
