An opposition leader admits his party basically crashed the government's party. ODM leader Oburu Odinga stated the party's identity is still solid despite backing President William Ruto's administration, a move formalized in a ten-point deal last March. This cooperation, born during massive Gen Z protests against the Finance Bill, is credited with calming national unrest. Oburu insisted ODM's support was never about votes for Ruto, but a conditional pact to secure development, joking they came in through the window.
Oburu took over after his brother, former party leader Raila Odinga, passed away. That death sparked internal debate on whether the deal included supporting Ruto's re-election. Some members argued that backing a...
BP just cashed out most of its iconic motor oil brand. The oil giant sold a 65 percent stake in Castrol to the American investment firm Stonepeak for six billion dollars, valuing the whole lubricants division at over ten billion. BP will keep a 35 percent piece of the company it bought back in 2000. They called the move a milestone in their bigger plan to simplify operations and cut costs.
The company plans to use the cash to pay down debt and sharpen its focus on its core oil and gas business. This sale pushes them past the halfway mark on a goal to sell twenty billion dollars in assets. The strategy represents a clear pivot back toward fossil fuels, echoing moves by rivals like Shell and Equinor to scale back green energy investments...

Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen, with his family, marked Boxing Day with the Embobut community in Marakwet East, noting the area was finally free from its past security problems during the festive season.

He also pushed for environmental conservation of the crucial Embobut Forest, a key...
A Nigerian political party is ripping the president for letting the U.S. bomb inside the country. The African Democratic Congress, the ADC, blasted President Bola Tinubu over the American airstrikes in Sokoto State, calling it a major security failure. Their spokesperson, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, said allowing foreign troops to operate on Nigerian soil is unsustainable and damages national sovereignty. They argued Nigeria should be leading such missions, not just providing intel.
The ADC slammed the whole affair as a loss of control. They pointed out that Nigerians first heard about the attack from a foreign leader's social media post, which they called a troubling sign. The party demanded full transparency, asking who exactly planned...
Some Nigerian official is calling out a US airstrike as a total miss. Ladan Salihu, a former head of Nigeria's Federal Radio Corporation, blasted the American Christmas night operation in Jabo village, Sokoto State, saying it was inaccurate and failed to hit any target. He got his info from a local lawmaker, Bashar Isah Jabo, who visited the site. According to that account, the missiles just cratered an empty field roughly 300 meters from a hospital, with no injuries, deaths, or property damage. Salihu emphasized that the area had no terrorist activity or conflicts all year.
He threw serious doubt on the whole point of the mission. Salihu questioned if the strike was more about generating news headlines than actually taking out...
So the tax reform guy says the new rules will start next year as planned. Taiwo Oyedele, the head of the Presidential Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms Committee, confirmed the January 1, 2026, launch date for the remaining new laws after a committee visit to President Bola Tinubu in Lagos. He insisted the changes are built to give regular people a break and help the economy.
Oyedele laid out the specifics, claiming the vast majority of workers and small businesses will catch a major tax cut. He stated that 98 percent of wage earners would see their pay-as-you-earn tax either disappear or shrink. He also said 97 percent of small businesses would get a pass on corporate income tax, value-added tax, and withholding tax. Even larger...
So the controversial cleric Sheikh Gumi is hauling random Facebook users into court over a fake death threat. Ahmad Gumi filed a criminal case at the Kaduna Chief Magistrate Court against two guys, George Udom and Bello Isiaka, for a post they allegedly published. The fake quote had Gumi supposedly threatening to wipe out the family of Defence Minister Christopher Musa if military operations against bandits continued. Gumi, through his lawyer Suleiman Lere, is pushing charges of criminal conspiracy and defamation, saying the post was completely fabricated to paint him as a terrorist sponsor.
Gumi's complaint argues that the fake statement is massively damaging. He says it wrecks his reputation as a peace-preaching scholar and actually...
A Catholic writer just demanded that a Nigerian cleric be locked up for defending terrorists. Deacon Nick Donnelly wants Sheikh Ahmad Gumi arrested following Gumi's reaction to American airstrikes in Sokoto State. Donnelly posted this call on social media, accusing Gumi of calling jihadist militants our warriors and protesting the military action ordered by a former U.S. president. He stated Gumi should face trial for crimes against humanity and pressured Nigerian President Tinubu to publicly condemn him or be considered complicit.
The whole thing started after Gumi made a statement telling Nigeria's government to stop cooperating with the U.S. over the strikes. He framed the airstrikes as targeting perpetrators of an alleged genocide...
So a Nigerian politician just married a royal ex-wife while the country burns. George Akume, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, is the guy, and his new wife is Queen Zaynab Ngohemba-George Akume Dajoh. She was previously married to the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi.
