US presses Nigeria to do more to protect Christians

The United States has told Nigeria it must do more to protect Christians as senior officials from both countries meet in Abuja for high level security talks. The comments follow the reported mass kidnapping of worshippers from several churches in Kaduna State, an incident that has triggered local and international concern.​ Allison Hooker, US under secretary of state for political affairs and head of the American delegation, said Nigeria’s government must guarantee that Christians can practise their faith freely and safely. She directly referenced the alleged abduction of more than 170 people from churches in Kajuru Local Government Area.​ Hooker’s remarks reflect the priority US President Donald Trump has placed on what he calls “genocide” and “persecution” of Christians in Nigeria. Washington’s framing has been rejected by the Nigerian government and many analysts, who note that both Muslims and Christians […]

AFCON 2025: Top scorers after semi final round

The race for the AFCON 2025 Golden Boot is led by Morocco’s Brahim Díaz, who sits top of the scoring chart with five goals after the semi final matches. The Real Madrid forward has been the standout attacking player for the hosts, keeping his place at the summit despite failing to score in the last four.​ Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen and Egypt’s Mohamed Salah are tied in second place with four goals each. Both stars remain in contention to snatch the Golden Boot if they can find the net in the remaining fixtures.​ Just behind them on three goals are Nigeria’s Ademola Lookman and Côte d’Ivoire winger Amad Diallo.

60 years after: Remembering the bloody coup that changed Nigeria forever

Nigeria is marking 60 years since the January 15, 1966 coup that toppled the First Republic and opened the door to decades of military rule. The bloody takeover, led by young officers who claimed to be fighting corruption and political chaos, has remained one of the most disputed turning points in the nation’s history.​ Key political figures, including Prime Minister Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Northern Premier Ahmadu Bello and Western Premier Ladoke Akintola, were killed along with senior military officers. The fact that most of the victims were northern leaders fuelled deep resentment and the perception of an ethnically biased operation, especially in the North.​ The coup was quickly followed by a counter coup in July 1966, massacres in the North and, eventually, the Nigerian Civil War between 1967 and 1970. Analysts say these events shattered trust among regions and ethnic […]

US delivers critical military assets to battle terrorists, bandits

Nigeria’s fight against terrorists and bandits has received a major boost with the delivery of critical military assets from the United States. US Africa Command said the equipment was handed over in Abuja to support ongoing security operations against terrorists and other non state armed groups.​ AFRICOM described the shipment as “critical military supplies” but did not disclose the specific platforms or weapons involved. The command said the delivery underscores the strong security partnership between both countries and is aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s frontline capabilities.​ The new support follows US assisted “precision hits” on ISIS affiliated Islamic State West Africa Province targets in Jabo, Tangaza Local Government Area of Sokoto State on December 24. Those airstrikes, carried out in coordination with the Nigerian military, destroyed a terrorist camp and were conducted at the request of Nigerian authorities.​ Nigeria’s Chief of […]

How manufacturing sector can grow in 2026 — experts

Experts say Nigeria’s manufacturing sector can grow in 2026 if government delivers macroeconomic stability, effective tax incentives and better access to affordable credit. They argue that easing inflation, stabilising the naira and lowering interest rates will help factories plan, invest and boost capacity.​ The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria notes that recent reforms and the new tax laws offer an opportunity to reset the real sector, but only if they are properly implemented. It says manufacturers need a predictable policy environment, faster execution of incentives and less bureaucracy to unlock new investment.​ Key recommendations include creating a Manufacturing Refinancing and Rediscounting Facility to allow banks refinance approved loans at single digit rates for up to seven years. Stakeholders also want lower benchmark interest rates over the next two quarters to make bank credit more affordable for factories.​ Experts further propose a […]

CAF opens disciplinary probe after Nigeria’s win over Algeria

The Confederation of African Football has opened a disciplinary investigation into incidents that followed Nigeria’s 2–0 victory over Algeria in the AFCON 2025 quarterfinals in Morocco. CAF said its disciplinary board is reviewing reports from match officials, security personnel and media representatives before deciding on sanctions.​ Tensions reportedly boiled over at full time, with several Algerian players and officials confronting referee Issa Sy and his assistants over disputed decisions. Witnesses said some members of the Algerian delegation chased the officials towards the tunnel, behaviour CAF described as unacceptable under its disciplinary code.​ The unrest also affected the stands, where some angry Algerian fans attempted to breach barriers and allegedly damaged parts of the stadium before order was restored. CAF warned that individuals or federations found guilty of misconduct could face fines, suspensions or other penalties.​ CAF further confirmed it is […]

Algeria captain Riyad Mahrez says Nigeria now have a strong chance of winning the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations after knocking his team out in the quarterfinals. He was speaking after the Super Eagles beat Algeria 2 0 in Marrakech to reach a record 16th AFCON semifinal.​ Mahrez praised Nigeria’s attack, led by Victor Osimhen and Akor Adams, who both scored in the quarterfinal clash. He said the team’s balance, confidence and goal scoring form make them one of the favourites to lift the trophy in Morocco.​ Before the game, Mahrez had admitted that Nigeria’s forwards were among the most dangerous at the tournament, even though he insisted he was not afraid of facing them.
