As President Bola Ahmed Tinubu begins his second year after the celebration of one year in office, Nigerians have urged him to do whatever is humanly possible to take them out of the deep suffering they have been experiencing since May 29, 2023. Urge speedy action on Port Harcourt Refinery Among other demands, they have specifically asked the President to urgently fix the Port Harcourt Refinery to enable it begin production without further delay, and also tackle head-on the problem of insecurity for farmers to return to their farms.

Nigeria, a country once known for its rich cultural heritage and reverence for sacred places, has witnessed a decline in the sanctity of these revered places. The country’s social, economic, and political landscape has changed significantly over the years, leading to an erosion of the respect and protection accorded to sacred places. Historically, places of worship were revered and protected by communities, who believed in their spiritual and cultural significance.

Shelter is one of the basic needs of man, but homelessness in Nigeria is growing in leaps and bounds following cases of demolition in the cities with Lagos, the nation’s commercial capital, leading the pack. Homelessness in the country is such that, last year, data from the World Population Review revealed that Nigeria has the world’s largest number of homeless people with 24 million of its population not having homes to live. The data explains that over 24 million people are considered homeless with many more not having appropriate access to a proper dwelling that has access to some of the basic services such as water, electricity and good road network.

President Bola Tinubu’s first year in office has thrown many Nigerians into hunger with an ample lack of basic amenities while unemployment keeps rising, the latest survey by the African Polling Institute (API) shows. In its survey, API, an independent, non-profit, and non-partisan opinion research think-tank noted that an overwhelming majority of citizens (84%) express profound sadness with the current state of affairs in the country. “Their voices, filled with dissatisfaction, are a clear call for action,” the report said.

Air travel has revolutionised the way we explore the world, connecting distant lands and cultures like never before. With over 40,000 airports worldwide, it’s easy to assume that every country has at least one airport to call its own. However, there are a few countries that defy this assumption, remaining off the grid and without an airport to facilitate air travel. Each country has its own story to tell. Some are in the heart of a region, surrounded by major cities with well-connected airports, making the need for their airport redundant. Others are small island nations with limited space and resources, making the construction and maintenance of an airport a significant challenge. Additionally, some countries may prioritise other modes of transportation, such as sea or land routes, or may face significant geographical or economic constraints that make building an airport unfeasible. Despite these limitations, these countries have a thriving tourism industry, attracting visitors from around the world who are drawn to their unique cultures and natural beauty.

Here are 7 fascinating contributions from Africa that showcase the continent’s remarkable achievements in science, technology, art, and beyond. The Ishango Bone Long before Western mathematicians gained recognition, Africans were already at the forefront of arithmetic innovation. The Ishango Bone, discovered on the Uganda-Democratic Republic of Congo border, serves as the world’s oldest mathematical artifact. Carved from a baboon fibula, it contains notches believed to represent fundamental arithmetic concepts like doubling and prime numbers. These remarkable findings, alongside the Lebombo bone from Swaziland, challenge the Eurocentric view of mathematics, highlighting Africa’s profound early mathematical contributions. Jazz Jazz, embraced globally, finds its heartbeat in African musical traditions, often described as inherently African in origin. This genre embraces polyrhythms, where g multiple rhythms are blended into one harmonious melody. These intricate rhythmic structures trace their roots back to African music, underscoring the profound impact of African culture on shaping jazz into the dynamic and diverse genre it is today. Shea butter Shea butter, hailed as “nature’s miracle beauty balm,” has become a prevalent ingredient in skincare products globally. Extracted from the nuts of the indigenous African Vitellaria tree, commonly known as the “Shea tree,” this rich, moisturizing butter has found its way into soaps, lip balms, lotions, and shaving creams. Its origins trace back to 19 countries across West Africa and parts of East Africa, from Senegal to Sudan. Legend has it that even Cleopatra, renowned for her beauty, valued this butter during her reign, recognizing its skincare benefits. Today, shea butter stands as a testament to Africa’s natural abundance, enriching skincare routines worldwide with its nourishing properties.

Growing up was fun for millennials, and a big part of the fun was the incredible variety of snacks that filled our lunch boxes and pockets. Remember the excitement of ripping open a fresh pack of Robo or unwrapping a sweet treat after school? The snacks of our childhood were more than just a sweet tooth satisfaction – they were a source of joy, comfort, and nostalgia. Whether we were satisfying our after-school cravings or quelling hunger, snacks played a major role in our daily routines. But let us be real, who did not get into trouble for sneaking a snack during class or at the assembly? The rustling of wrappers, the crunch, and the sweet aroma of these treats often gave us away, earning us a stern glance from our teachers and sometimes a stroke or two. And who can forget the thrill of saving up our lunch money until “closing time” so we could enjoy the walk back home with friends, snacking on our favorite treats and reliving the day’s adventures?

Seychelles 🇸🇨 Κάτι από το ταξίδι μου στης Σεϋχέλλες 👆🏻 Ένα όμορφο μέρος αλλά με άσχημους χαρακτήρες ανθρώπων. Κάτι που δεν είδατε 👇🏻 2 μέρες στης Σεϋχέλλες όπου πήγα για ένα χαρτί που έπρεπε να είναι εκεί το συντομότερο για μιαν εταιρία που αγόρασα μετοχές - 2 μέρες όλα καλά τελείωσα την δουλειά μου την τελευταία μέρα που ετοίμασα τα πράγματα μου να φύγω και πήγα στο αεροδρόμιο , πήγα για ελέγχω και για 2 ώρες προσπαθούσαν να βρουν ένα λόγο για να καθυστερήσω, απλά επειδή δεν τους άρεσα και φαινόμουν «περίεργος» και με ρωτούσαν γιατί ήρθες μόνο 2 μέρες και αλλά πολλά , μέχρι που έφυγε το αεροπλάνο και έμεινα εκεί, και στο τέλος με κρατούσαν για 1 μέρα χωρίς να μπορώ να επικοινωνήσω με κανένα και ο λόγος που βρήκαν στην τελική ήταν για ένα λαπτοπ που μου έδωσαν η άνθρωποι που συνάντησα εκεί για να το φέρω Κύπρο. Μετά από όλα αυτά τελικά δεν είχε κανένα θέμα και με άφησαν να φύγω και η εμπειρία μου ως τουρίστας ήταν αυτή! Δεν έχω σκοπό να κάνω κάποιο πρόβλημα απλά αν σκέφτεστε να πάτε και σας δουν κάπως περίεργα η δεν σαν συμπαθήσουν να είστε έτοιμη να αντιμετωπίσετε τον νόμο της Σεϋχέλλες. ✌🏻 . . #seychelles #life #lifestyle #emirates #holiday #businessday
Vietnam’s affordability is a significant draw for travelers, offering a lifestyle filled with luxuries that would be unaffordable elsewhere. With the exchange rate around VND25,000 to US$1, visitors can stretch their dollars impressively far in Vietnam. Here are what you can buy for $1 in Vietnam Culinary delights A key pleasure is the food. Many expats in Vietnam rarely cook, enjoying instead the vibrant street food culture. Although iconic dishes like bun cha and pho might slightly exceed a dollar, there are still plenty of delicious options. For instance, xoi (sticky rice), bun moc, bun thang, and the ubiquitous banh mi are easily available for under VND25,000. However, the lower cost does come with less stringent food safety standards, which can sometimes lead to food poisoning, as seen in a recent incident in Dong Nai Province where over 500 people were hospitalized after eating banh mi from a local eatery. Coffee culture For coffee lovers, Vietnam is a paradise. A ca phe sua (milk coffee) can be enjoyed for around VND14,750 (US$0.59), This means one could enjoy a week’s worth of coffee in Vietnam for the price of a single coffee in the U.S. ($2.95).

When it comes to the oil sector in Nigeria, one name stands out: A. A Rano. The rise of Alhaji Auwalu Abdullahi Rano from humble beginnings to leading a multibillion-dollar enterprise as the founder and CEO of AA Rano Nigeria Limited shows the power of hard work and perseverance. Born on 7 February 1974 in Lausu town, Kano State, the entrepreneur started his business journey by selling ice blocks, groundnut oil, and other local items. In 1994, he ventured into selling and distributing petroleum products on a small scale. As a young entrepreneur with big dreams, he wanted to become a leader in the downstream sector of Nigeria’s petroleum industry, aiming for steady growth in this challenging field. Rano’s dedication and business skills quickly paid off. By 1996, just two years after starting his petroleum business, he built his first retail outlet in Kano. This early success showed he was on the path to great achievements. In 2002, he officially registered his company, A. A Rano Nigeria Limited, marking his serious commitment to the industry.

Football stands as the pinnacle of sports, boasting not only unparalleled prestige but also commanding some of the highest-valued trophies in the world. Across various leagues, both national and international, these coveted awards symbolize excellence, skill, and the ultimate triumph on the field.

Out of options to defend their currencies, African policymakers from Harare in the south to Juba in the east and Lagos in the west are cracking down on street dealers. Monetary authorities in Zambia, Zimbabwe, Nigeria and South Sudan are throwing everything at the money changers, who they accuse of undermining their currencies by speculating. They’ve banned and arrested them, imposed hefty fines and revised existing operational guidelines for bureaux de changes.

Negotiations for a new national Minimum Wage resumes today, at the 7th meeting of the 37 members tripartite committee, in Abuja Nigeria Labour Congress NLC and the Trade Union Congress TUC, had last week, rejected the N60000 fresh offer put forward by the federal government, heightening tension over a possible industrial action, as the May 31st deadline given by the organised labour expires today, Friday. The development led to another walkout by the organised labour from the meeting of the committee meeting. Tuesday’s walkout, the second in two weeks, signals danger for the new minimum wage negotiations as Labour had earlier given the federal government, up to the end of May, 2024 to come up with an acceptable wage.

Nigerian Afrobeats star Ayra Starr today released her second album titled “The Year I Turned 21,” in which she broke away from the sound she had become known for. The tracklist features 14 songs and a mix of local and international artists. Industry players say the new album signals a deliberate evolution of Starr’s sound from her debut album and a move to expand her international fanbase. Starr, who turns 21 in June, has a unique naming convention for her albums, titling them after her age at the time of release. Her debut album, 19 & Dangerous, came out in 2021 when she was 19.

President Bola Tinubu on Thursday, said Ministers who failed to perform in his cabinet will be sacked. The President stated this on Thursday, when he met with the leadership of Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, adding that governments must prioritize the needs of local communities by ensuring accountability and effectiveness in the administration of local governments. “As long as we are together, and we have to be together, there is strength in our diversity. Our strength and opportunity are built into our population. I thank the cabinet members for their efforts, but I will relieve any of them of their duties anytime I feel that they are failing Nigerians,” the President affirmed.

Pressure from President Bola Tinubu, following two high-level visits from ExxonMobil’s top shots, has cleared the hurdle in the path of the international oil company’s asset sale to indigenous heavyweight, Seplat Energy Plc. That’s after the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited signed a settlement agreement for the divestment of the international oil major’s $1.28 billion stake in Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited (MPNU) to Seplat Energy Plc, in what is a precursor to regulatory approval. The agreement, which had stalled for two years finally saw green light after visits by top executives from the oil major to Tinubu, himself a former ExxonMobil staff. Disagreements and a court ruling that temporarily prevented ExxonMobil from selling its assets to Seplat Energy held back the deal from going over the line.
