 SDP PARLEYS MEDIA AHEAD OF 2027 GENERAL ELECTIONS  The Social Democratic Party, SDP has disassociated itself from those calling for the rescheduling of the 2027 general elections due to the confirmed case of Ebola in Nigeria. A statement by the Presidential candidate of the Party, Prince Adewole Adebayo indicates that just one case of the disease recorded is not enough to cancel or reschedule the election that is already at hand, as the situation is not yet a pandemic. He explains that the country has the ability to take care of the situation. The statement further encourages the media to be as independent and unbiased as possible in reporting the forthcoming general election. It emphasises the media's role in sustaining democratic governance in the country. The SDP Presidential candidate encourages media practitioners to get acquainted with the party's manifesto and enlighten the public adequately, enabling them to actively engage the party during campaigns.

 From Mars to Niger: Largest Known Martian Meteorite Up for Auction


Discovered in the Sahara Desert near Agadez, Niger, the Martian meteorite known as NWA 16788 is heading for auction at Sotheby’s on Wednesday, Sputnik reported.


Weighing 24.67 kg, this extraordinary specimen is the largest known piece of Mars on Earth, comprising 6.5% of all Martian material ever found.


Launched into space by an asteroid impact and traveling 140 million miles before landing in Niger, the meteorite was uncovered by a hunter in November 2023. Its value is estimated between $2–4 million, thanks to its exceptional size, well-preserved “reddish-brown fusion crust”, and minimal Earth weathering.


Of over 77,000 meteorites discovered on Earth, only 400 are from Mars. NWA 16788 stands out with a 70% size advantage over the previous record holder. As Sotheby’s notes, it is “an incredibly rare” and likely a “rather recent” arrival on Earth.
