“The ultimate renewable energy is human ingenuity,” said Irina Bokova captures the truth of human,  life and progress more clearly. Solar, wind, water, and other renewable energies power our world, but they all depend on something deeper—the creative power of the human mind. Every breakthrough in renewable energy was first an idea. Panels, turbines, and smart grids did not appear by chance; they were born from curiosity, problem-solving, and imagination. This is why no physical energy source can truly be called ultimate. Technologies can wear out, markets can change, and resources can be limited, but human ingenuity renews itself endlessly. History shows that societies rise when people value ideas, innovation, and critical thinking. In business, leadership, science, and personal growth, it is ingenuity that turns challenges into opportunities and dreams into reality. Those who succeed most in life are not always the strongest or richest, but those who learn, adapt, and create. Trea...

Once upon a time, the Animal Kingdom was no longer a happy place. Rivers were dirty, storehouses were empty, and faces were full of worry. The animals whispered among themselves, “Something is terribly wrong with our land.” Their king, Rabbit, sat proudly on the throne with his ruling team. But the birds complained, “The food meant for everyone is being shared only among a few.” The goats cried, “Justice has been sold!” Still, fear made most animals keep quiet. “If you speak, you will suffer,” Rabbit’s guards warned. So hope slowly disappeared. From his small house, Tortoise watched and listened. One evening he said softly to himself, “Speed did not build this kingdom, and speed will not save it. Wisdom must speak.” The next day, Tortoise visited the honest animals. He told them, “Corruption grows when good voices hide. If we speak together, fear will lose its power.” An old elephant replied, “We are afraid, but we are tired of suffering.” Tortoise nodded and said, “Then let our unity ...

The South-South Zonal Leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has denied reports that its national leader, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, and other regional leaders have endorsed former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi for the presidency. The zonal leadership described the reports as "misleading, undemocratic, and a troubling example of how selective narratives can distort political reality". According to Mabel Oboh, South-South Zonal Publicity Secretary, the February 27 meeting at Oyegun's residence was aimed at strengthening internal cohesion, deepening grassroots mobilisation, and positioning the party for future electoral contests. Amaechi had informed regional leaders of his intention to seek the party's presidential ticket, but this was not an endorsement. Oboh emphasized that no motion was moved, resolution adopted, or vote taken to endorse any aspirant, adding that Chief Oyegun's political history makes the allegation implausible. Th...

Israel has declared a state of emergency, and there's a risk of escalation in the region.

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike-backed faction of the Peoples Democratic Party has rejected the judgment of an Oyo State High Court which upheld the party's 2025 National Convention held in Ibadan. The faction described the ruling as inconsequential and a mere academic exercise, insisting that the November convention remained invalid. The Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee, a product of the convention, hailed the judgment as a triumph for internal democracy and party cohesion. Justice Ladiran Akintola of the Oyo State High Court affirmed the validity of the November 15 and 16, 2025 convention, which produced Turaki as substantive National Chairman. The court ruled that the convention complied with the provisions of the 1999 Constitution, the Electoral Act 2022, and other relevant laws. The Wike-backed faction argued that the judgment doesn't bind the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), as INEC wasn't a party in ...

Cholesterol destroys human health than many assume. When not accumulated in blood vessels,  a person could easily live up to 120 years. Explaining it in layman language, cholesterol is like the cold fat left in an unwashed frying pan - it's a waxy, fatty substance that can build up in your blood vessels. When there's too much cholesterol in your blood, it can form plaques on the vessel walls, narrowing them and reducing blood flow. By 40, it can reduce the vessel lumen by almost half, leading to high blood pressure and related issues. It's not just about blood pressure though - cholesterol can clog small vessels in tissues, leading to chronic diseases. You might experience stomach pain, spleen issues, or liver and pancreas problems. It's a silent threat that can affect various parts of your body: - Legs: varicose veins, swelling, heaviness - Liver: liver conditions - Joints: joint pain, spine issues - Eyes: potential blindness The state of your vessels is cr...

The Defence Headquarters has clarified that the military support provided by the United States government to Nigeria is not a threat to the country's sovereignty. The assistance, which includes training Nigerian troops and strengthening counter-terrorism operations, comes at no cost to the Federal Government. According to Major General Michael Onoja, Director of Defence Media Operations, the US personnel in Nigeria are primarily engaged in training programs, similar to Nigerian officers traveling abroad for training. He emphasized that Nigeria's sovereignty and territorial integrity remain intact, and the collaboration is aimed at combating terrorism. The cooperation has yielded positive outcomes in the last two months, with more results expected soon. The military leadership is taking necessary steps to prevent further attacks and is working to review the Operation Safe Corridor program for surrendered insurgents

The concept of technology "taking over" the world has shifted from 1980s sci-fi nightmares of metal skeletons to a much more subtle, digital reality. It isn't an invasion; it’s an integration. ​The Invisible Takeover ​Today, the "takeover" happens in layers rather than through a single event: ​ Algorithmic Governance: Our choices—from what we buy to who we vote for—are increasingly curated by algorithms. Data has become the most valuable resource, often dictating the flow of global economies. ​The Internet of Everything: We’ve paved the physical world with sensors. From smart cities to wearable tech, the "Mesh" ensures that every movement is tracked, analyzed, and optimized. ​Automation of Thought: With the rise of advanced AI, we are outsourcing not just physical labor, but cognitive tasks. We are moving toward a world where technology doesn't just do what we say; it anticipates what we want.

US President Donald Trump has confirmed a military operation against Iran, stating it's aimed at preventing the country from developing nuclear weapons. The operation involves strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, missile launchers, and military infrastructure. Trump cited Iran's history of aggression, including backing militant groups like Hamas, and threats to the US, its troops, and allies.

He emphasized the US objective is to defend Americans and eliminate imminent threats from Iran's regime, describing it as "vicious" and "terrible". The operation follows weeks of tensions ...

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has rejected the revised 2027 general election timetable released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), claiming it's designed to favor President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid. The new timetable sets January 16, 2027, for presidential and national assembly elections, and February 6, 2027, for governorship and state houses of assembly elections. ADC spokesperson, Bolaji Abdullahi, argues that the revised timetable is a "political instrument" aimed at narrowing democratic space and strengthening the incumbent administration's grip on power. He points out that the Electoral Act 2026 imposes unrealistic requirements on opposition parties, making it difficult for them to participate in the elections. Specifically, the ADC objects to Section 77(7) of the Electoral Act, which states that parties failing to submit their membership registers on time won't be eligible to field candidates. Abdullahi cla...

President Donald Trump has directed all federal agencies to stop using Anthropic's AI technology, citing national security concerns. This decision follows a standoff between the Pentagon and Anthropic over the company's refusal to allow unrestricted military use of its AI models. Trump announced the move on Truth Social, stating that Anthropic's technology would be phased out over six months. The dispute centers on Anthropic's refusal to agree to the Pentagon's terms, which would allow the military to use its AI for any lawful purpose, including mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei had maintained that such uses would undermine the Constitution and put civilians at risk. Trump accused Anthropic of trying to "strong-arm" the Department of War and putting American lives at risk. Amodei, however, stood firm, stating that Anthropic would not knowingly provide a product that puts warfighters and civilian...

By Prisca Sam-Duru In an age where information travels at the speed of a click and the line between fact and engagement has become dangerously distorted, Dr. Constance Ikokwu, renowned Arise News analyst and veteran journalist, issues a clarion call for a return to ethical storytelling. Delivering a lecture titled “Stories That Matter: Media, Power, Responsibility” at the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu University, Igbariam Campus, Anambra State, on February 21, 2026, Dr. Ikokwu reminded aspiring communicators that journalism is not merely a career but, the basis of survival for any functioning society. Dr. Ikokwu opened the lecture by challenging the traditional definition of reporting. To her, a story is a living entity with the power to shape history. “A story is not just a collection of facts. A story is a narrative that carries a message, and every journalist must constantly ask: what is the message behind what I am reporting? This is why journalism is not merely a profession but...

By Peter Duru; Gabriel Ewepu; Ozioruva Aliu; Steve Oko & Gilbert Joseph On October 31 last year, US President Donald Trump re-designated Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern, CPC, following persistent killings of residents by the terrorists.06 Donald Trump followed this up by mandating US Congressman Riley Moore and the House Appropriations Committee Chairman, Tom Cole to lead a comprehensive investigation into the alleged killings by terrorists and the security challenges plaguing Nigeria. Riley Moore had earlier led a delegation on a fact-finding mission to Nigeria visiting Internally Displaced Persons Camps in Benue and also spoke with victims of terrorism. The Rep Panel which submitted its detailed report to President Trump last Monday recommended some measures to end the killings which include the “removal of Fulani militias from confiscated, productive farmland and enable the voluntary return of displaced communities to their homes”.

Former Edo State governor, John Odigie-Oyegun, says leaders of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the South-South have endorsed the presidential ambition of Rotimi Amaechi over other candidates like former Anambra governor, Peter Obi. Odigie-Oyegun made this known on Friday during the ADC South-South leaders’ consultative meeting in Benin City.

•It’s clear Nigerian Army overstretched •US team should do more than intelligence gathering •Expanding US military role in the north ‘ll be resisted——Arewa Defence League By Dayo Johnson, Regional Editor, South West; Olasunkanmi Akoni; Samuel Oyadongha; Peter Duru; Jimitota Onoyume; Egufe Yafugborhi; Ozioruva Aliu; Ochuko Akuopha; Davies Iheamnachor; Emem Idio; Deola Badru & Ibrahim Hassan-Wuyo The presence of a team of the US army on Nigerian soil to assist with intelligence gathering and training of our soldiers in the fight against terrorism coupled with the Christmas day bombing of the terrorists’ enclave in Sokoto by the US has not stopped the killings and abductions in the country. In fact, the Christmas Day strike appears to have emboldened the terrorists to increase the tempo of their atrocities while our military appears helpless. Divergent views have therefore trailed calls for deeper foreign involvement in Nigeria’s war against terrorism beyond intelligence g...

At least 20 people were killed when a Bolivian military cargo plane carrying banknotes crashed while landing near the capital city La Paz, police said Friday, as crowds attempted to loot the site. The aircraft, a C-130 Hercules transport plane — manufactured by Lockheed Martin — veered off the runway at El Alto International Airport and crashed into an avenue, destroying multiple cars and damaging trucks, local media footage showed. Mangled parts of the aircraft were seen on the road where the plane came down and bystanders could be seen rushing to grab the scattered cash prompting police to deploy tear gas to repel the hordes. Authorities were later seen setting the money alight in a bonfire at the scene of the crash. It was not immediately known what caused the crash but witnesses told AFP that the weather had been treacherous. “A heavy hailstorm” was falling and “there was lightning” when the plane went down said Cristina Choque, a 60-year-old vendor whose car was struck...

The diaspora arm of the Coalition for the Protection of Democracy (COPDEM) has raised concerns over what it describes as a growing pattern of intimidation and security threats against former presidential candidate Peter Obi, warning that such developments could undermine Nigeria’s democratic stability. In a statement signed by Dr. Ben Chukwu, Director of COPDEM in Diaspora and Convener of Professionals for Good Governance and Social Justice (PGGSJ), the group alleged that recent incidents and political rhetoric directed at Obi have escalated beyond the bounds of normal democratic rivalry. The coalition claimed that Obi has faced restrictions and security warnings in certain states, which it said were attempts to limit his political engagements. It also referenced what it described as a serious security incident in Edo State involving Obi’s convoy, alleging that armed individuals attacked his movement. However, the group did not provide independent evidence and called for a ...
