Big Tech ramps up living room rivalry as Instagram launches Reels app for TVs  The battle for the future of television is intensifying, and Meta is making its move. The company announced the launch of an Instagram Reels app for connected TVs, starting with Amazon Fire TV devices. The app aims to bring Reels directly to the living room, allowing users to watch short-form videos on a larger screen alongside friends and family. Tessa Lyons, Instagram’s VP of product, explained that research showed people were already mirroring their phones to TVs to view Reels, signaling a demand for a dedicated TV experience. The new app is designed to make that experience seamless, with features like Blend, which lets users combine their algorithms with those of friends or family for co-viewing, and support for channels and categories for easier content discovery.

 Federal High Court Orders Rivers State Administrator to Justify Sole Administrator Appointments


The Federal High Court in Port Harcourt has summoned the Rivers State Administrator to appear before it and explain why an interim injunction should not be issued to block the appointment of Sole Administrators for the state’s 23 Local Government Areas (LGAs). 


The directive was issued by Honourable Justice Adamu Turaki Mohammed on Monday, April 7, 2025, in response to an ex-parte motion filed by the Pilex Centre for Civic Education Initiative and its Coordinator, Courage Nsirimovu.


The applicants are seeking to halt the Rivers State Administrator and his agents from moving forward with the appointments, arguing that such a move threatens democratic processes in the state. In his ruling, Justice Mohammed stressed the importance of fairness, ordering that the respondent be formally notified and given the opportunity to “show cause” why the requested injunction should not be granted.


The court also issued a hearing notice and adjourned the case to April 14, 2025, for further proceedings. A.O. Imiete, legal counsel for the applicants, pressed the court to approve the reliefs sought, adopting a written address to bolster the motion. The respondent was not represented during the hearing.


The case, docketed as FHC/PH/CS/46/2025, unfolds against a backdrop of escalating political friction in Rivers State, where the proposed appointment of Sole Administrators has ignited controversy over local governance and adherence to constitutional principles. Critics argue that such appointments could bypass elected representation, while supporters claim they are necessary for administrative stability.
