A rights group known as ISRCA has pushed Delta State leaders to punish anyone helping drug dealers stay in business. The group specifically wants strict rules against community leaders and police who might take money from people selling illegal substances. National leader Derrick Agberen believes these community heads must answer for the growing drug problem affecting young people across all twenty-five local areas.
ISRCA points directly at a drug called Colorado, causing major problems for Delta youth. They claim this substance makes users act strangely and sometimes leads to violence or death. The group demands Governor Sheriff Oborevwori create real consequences for anyone protecting these dealers. They believe stopping drug sales...
Greenland voters head to the polls March 11 for a parliamentary election. Breaking free from Denmark tops many campaign talks, especially after President Trump expressed interest in controlling the massive island. Back in 1953, Greenland formally became Danish territory, allowing Copenhagen to manage all foreign relationships, defense strategies, and monetary decisions for the island nation. Recent surveys indicate most residents favor cutting political and economic ties with Denmark, their former colonial ruler. Many disagree, however, about the right timing for such a major move.
People worry about maintaining their standard of living without Denmark, which provides almost $1 billion yearly to support local programs and services...
Ogun State leaders praised the national government for bringing Tai Solarin University of Education under federal control. Governor Dapo Abiodun spoke through his advisor, Kayode Akinmade, about the positive changes this move brings to the school. He talked about how hard his team worked for years to help TASUED grow stronger. The governor remains deeply committed to making education better across the state.
President Bola Tinubu signed papers Friday making TASUED officially part of the federal system after Ogun State asked for this change. The school stands as the first special teaching university in Nigeria. Tinubu mentioned that this decision honors Chief Obafemi Awolowo and Dr. Tai Solarin, who helped build Nigerian education. He...
Ogun State has given the green light for fixing eleven roads across all three voting areas. Governor Dapo Abiodun led the State Cabinet meeting last weekend, where they made this decision. They approved many important roadways needing serious repairs throughout the state. The projects show the government wants better driving conditions for everyone.
The biggest project covers the 9.2-kilometer stretch from Akute Bridge to Agbado Train Terminal. Officials added extra parking spots and several connecting streets as part of the deal. They also picked the 5.5-kilometer Gateway International Airport Road running from Iperu Junction to Ilishan Roundabout. The plan includes the 4-kilometer Imasayi-Igan Okoto-Ayetoro Road Phase 2B.

Judge Obiora Egwatu has scheduled March 25 as the day he'll hear Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan's lawsuit against the Nigerian Senate. The Kogi Central lawmaker earlier asked the Federal High Court in Abuja to block the Senate Ethics Committee from investigating her actions. The judge gave her this protective order, but Senate members ignored it completely last Thursday. They went ahead anyway and kicked Natasha out for six months after reviewing what the committee found.
During Monday's court meeting, lawyers representing the first, second, and third defendants claimed they never received any legal papers from Natasha. Her lawyer, Michael Numa, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, disagreed completely. He told the judge everyone had been...
The Benue State Local Government Election Petition Tribunal stopped all meetings for the time being. They made this choice after they got court papers from the Federal High Court in Makurdi. Last Friday, that court told them not to meet at NBA House in Abuja or anywhere outside Benue State. Judge R.K. Egbe ordered any plans for tribunal meetings outside Benue State must wait until further notice.
Their decision came right after people started protesting at NBA headquarters in Abuja. These protesters spoke against moving the tribunal and asked for it to return to Benue State right away. They also wanted lawyers to stop working with anyone involved since they believed the Chief Judge of Benue State was breaking the rules and hurting the...
President Trump talked with reporters Sunday about the future of TikTok. He said his team speaks with four separate groups interested in buying the popular Chinese app. Trump believes any of these buyers would make a fine choice. TikTok faces serious problems because American lawmakers passed rules forcing its parent company, ByteDance, to sell or shut down.
The law took effect on January 19 due to national security concerns. After becoming president on January 20, Trump signed papers pushing back enforcement for 75 days. When journalists asked him aboard Air Force One whether a deal might happen soon, Trump answered that it might. He mentioned many people want the platform and praised all four potential buyer groups.
Neither TikTok...
System problems have caused recent troubles for Nigerians trying to apply for US visas. Jennifer Johnson from the State Department told people about these issues when asked. Many Nigerians complained they showed up for scheduled interviews, but embassy staff never met with them as part of their visa process. Johnson spoke Saturday about these problems and promised everything would work normally again.
The State Department spokesperson explained that anyone who missed interviews because of these technical difficulties will hear from officials about new appointment times. She clearly stated, "The U.S. Department of State experienced a partial systems outage, which has since been restored. All consular operations have resumed as normal...
President Trump thinks the government might shut down if lawmakers can't agree on money. He told reporters the shutdown "could happen" when cash runs dry on March 14. But he feels pretty sure Congress will pass a funding bill anyway. "It shouldn't have happened, and it probably won't. I think the CR is going to get passed. We'll see," Trump explained.
The bill Trump mentioned keeps government offices running at their current budget levels. This money would last through September 30, reaching the end of fiscal year 2025. House Republicans showed their six-month spending plan last Saturday. Members plan to vote Tuesday on whether they accept it.
Trump already made clear he wants fellow party members to back this plan. He asked them...
