Health experts have urged the Federal Government to prioritise antivenom production and availability across hospitals nationwide as Nigeria records 43,000 snakebite cases annually. The senior health professionals stated that limited access to the life-saving treatment continues to fuel snakebite deaths in the country. The experts noted that aside from the scarcity of antivenom, snakebite victims pay between N180,000 and N250,000 per dose, an amount equivalent to about four months’ total income for Nigerians earning the N70,000 minimum wage. The experts who are researchers on Neglected Tropical Diseases explained that weak health systems, poor infrastructure, and shortages of antivenom continue to drive preventable deaths and long-term disabilities, as 50 per cent of health facilities in the country lack the capacity to treat snakebite envenoming. The experts called on the Federal Government to subsidise antivenom costs, import cheaper alternatives while developing local pro...

The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra has said that its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, ordered the total cancellation of the Monday sit-at-home across the South-East, with effect from February 9, 2026. This was disclosed by the IPOB spokesperson, Emma Powerful, in a press statement issued on Sunday. He added that the directive came directly from Kanu. Recall that the pro-Biafran group declared the sit-at-home in August 2021 as a way of protesting the rendition of Kanu to Nigeria and his subsequent incarceration. During the exercise, markets, schools, banks and offices remained shut. Powerful said that with the current directive, there is no need, excuse or justification for anyone to stay at home on Mondays, adding that markets, schools, offices, transport services and economic activities must resume fully and normally from Monday.

Pep Guardiola has dismissed Liverpool head coach Arne Slot’s assertion that playing entertaining football is more important than winning trophies, insisting that “if you want to be a manager it is better to win trophies, always.” Manchester City travel to Anfield on Sunday to face their long-time rivals in the Premier League, with Arsenal holding a six-point lead at the top and City running out of margin for error. At the start of the season, Liverpool would have expected to be firmly in contention to retain their crown. Instead, they sit in sixth place, 14 points behind leaders Arsenal. Earlier this week, Slot made headlines by saying he would rather see Liverpool play good football than lead them to more trophy wins, BeiN Sports reports on Saturday. Guardiola, whose proactive, possession-based style has helped City lift six Premier League titles, four domestic cups, and their first Champions League trophy in the last decade, emphasized the balance between styl...

The Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, has described Kebbi State as one of the most strategically important states for Nigeria’s border security, revenue generation, and regional trade facilitation. Adeniyi stated this on Saturday during a courtesy visit to Governor Nasir Idris at the Government House, Birnin Kebbi, as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen inter-agency cooperation and reopen regulated border trade corridors with neighbouring countries. Kebbi State shares extensive land borders with the Republic of Benin and Niger Republic and hosts key entry points, including the Illela–Birnin Kebbi trade axis and the River Niger corridor, making it central to Nigeria’s customs, trade, and security architecture. “When Kebbi coughs, the Nigeria Customs Service catches cold. That is how important this state is to our operations,” the Comptroller-General said. Adeniyi noted that Kebbi State has produced several distinguished officers wh...

According to a statement published on the US Department of Justice website on Friday, “a Nigerian National was sentenced today to more than eight years in prison for participating in a years-long conspiracy to defraud elderly and vulnerable Americans through an inheritance fraud scheme.” The DOJ stated that Nnebocha, who is 44 years old, and his co-conspirators “operated a lucrative transnational inheritance fraud scheme that exploited vulnerable people in the United States” over a period exceeding seven years.

Tuesday’s massacre in Woro, a remote community in Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State, which left an estimated 176 residents dead, was not a random act of violence. Findings shows that the attack was the result of a calculated expansion of a jihadist front that the country’s security architecture failed to halt despite prior warnings. At the centre of the bloodshed is Abubakar Saidu, popularly known as Sadiku, a terrorist commander whose violent trail spans more than a decade and northern region of the country. For years, Sadiku remained a shadowy figure within the insurgency landscape. But investigations reveal a 12-year evolution that saw him rise from a handpicked lieutenant of the late Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, in 2014, to what security analysts now describe as the “Shekau of the North-Central” by 2026. As sustained military pressure weakened Boko Haram’s strongholds in the North-East, Sadiku migrated westward, embedding himself in the vast forest corr...

Speaking on his visit, he said he engaged with Nigerian officials, church leaders, aid groups, and internally displaced persons across the country to grasp the challenges facing Christians, particularly in the North and Middle Belt. “I have travelled to Nigeria and engaged in multiple high-level meetings with Nigerian officials, the Church, aid groups across the country, and IDPs, to get a better understanding of the rampant persecution of Christians in Nigeria,” he said. He noted that discussions about dividing the country had not emerged in any serious way during his visit. “In my di...

Vice President Kashim Shettima arrived in Kwara State on Saturday to visit Woro village in Kaiama Local Government Area following a deadly attack that left 75 residents dead. According to a statement shared by his media aide, Stany Nkwocha, Shettima’s visit came at the directive of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Nkwocha said, “The President has directed that the vice president assess the situation firsthand and convey federal condolences to the grieving families.” The vice president was received by Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq and other state officials upon arrival. The governor had earlier described the victims as local Muslims “massacred for refusing to submit to extremists preaching a strange doctrine,” while initial reports suggested over 100 fatalities. The attack, which occurred on Tuesday night, reportedly followed a rejected attempt by militants to forcibly indoctrinate members of the community. Earlier, Shettima’s media aide also revealed that the vice president, ...

The delegation was led by the Lagos State Commissioner for Energy and Mineral Resources, Mr Biodun Ogunleye, who reaffirmed the state government’s commitment to expanding energy access and positioning LASERC as a model electricity regulator for other states. Ogunleye explained that while LASERC is responsible for regulating the electricity market in Lagos State, the Lagos State Independent System Operator oversees the operation of trade point meters and all bulk electricity measurements to ensure that energy sold within the state is properly accounted for.

San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) is facing a potential school shutdown this Monday if talks with the teachers’ union fail to reach an agreement. The dispute centers on teacher pay, staffing shortages, and working conditions, with union leaders warning that unresolved issues may disrupt classrooms citywide. Parents and students are bracing for sudden closures, which could affect thousands of students, interrupt learning, and create childcare challenges. Education advocates highlight that even short-term school closures can widen learning gaps, particularly for younger students and those preparing for exams. SFUSD officials continue negotiations but say budget constraints limit flexibility, reflecting a broader U.S. trend where urban districts struggle to balance funding pressures and teacher demands. Families are urged to stay updated and plan ahead as the deadline approaches.

Hope is the quiet light at dawn, Soft as breath on a waiting day. It hums beneath the weight of night, Whispering, you’ll find your way. When roads are rough and skies feel low, Hope learns to walk with patient feet. It plants a seed in fractured ground And trusts the rain it cannot see. Hope is the hand that lifts your chin, The courage born from falling twice. It says, Begin again, and means There’s beauty still at any price. So hold it close when storms appear— This fragile flame, this stubborn art. For hope lives strongest, truest, bright Inside the brave and beating heart. 

  Public outrage swept across the United States after President Donald Trump reposted a controversial AI-generated video that briefly depicted former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as monkeys. The video, shared on Trump’s social media platform, formed part of a longer conspiracy-themed montage promoting false claims about U.S. elections. The imagery immediately triggered condemnation from civil rights organizations, political leaders, journalists, and social media users, who described the portrayal as racially offensive and deeply disturbing. Critics noted that depicting Black individuals as primates echoes long-standing racist tropes historically used to dehumanize people of African descent. Several commentators argued that regardless of intent, the post crossed ethical and moral boundaries, especially given Trump’s influence as a sitting U.S. president. Supporters of Trump, however, dismissed the backlash as exaggerated, insisting the video was politi...

President Bola Tinubu on Thursday held an emergency security meeting with the Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, as national and international outrage mounted over the massacre of residents in Kaiama Local Government Area of the state. The meeting came as the United Nations and Türkiye condemned the killings, northern senators demanded a sweeping security overhaul, and the Inspector-General of Police ordered the deployment of tactical teams to the affected communities. The deadly attack, which claimed at least 75 lives, according to government figures, has triggered renewed calls for mass recruitment of security personnel, expansion of armouries and intelligence capacity, and stronger federal intervention, with lawmakers warning that Nigeria’s worsening insecurity—particularly in rural communities—now poses a grave threat to national stability. Also, the Northern Senators Forum called on the Federal Government to urgently recruit more security personnel and stren...
