 Former Minister Warns Against Obollo State Agitation, Vows Protection of Ibibio Land Chief Nduese Essien, a former Minister of Lands and Urban Development and two-term House of Representatives member, has issued a stern warning to proponents of Obollo State creation, declaring that no part of Ibibio land will be ceded to the proposed state. Essien made the remarks during the installation of His Eminence Ntenyin (Dr) Solomon Daniel Etuk as the 4th Grand Patron of Mboho Mkparawa Ibibio, a prominent Ibibio sociocultural organization, in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. The agitation for Obollo State, championed by the Oro, Ibeno, and Eastern Obolo local government areas, has been a contentious issue, with Essien accusing the Obollo people of attempting to annex Ibibio territory, particularly the resource-rich Stubbs Creek Forest. He described the renewed push for state creation as a “ploy to grab Ibibio land,” emphasizing that the Ibibio people have historically defended their land rights, incl...

 Pastor locked behind bars, with the keys thrown into the sea following multiple rape incidents On 31 July 2025, the Naphuno Magistrate Court in Maake, Tzaneen, sentenced 39-year-old pastor Confidence Monyela to multiple terms of imprisonment, including two life sentences, for the rape of several minors aged 14 to 17. The crimes, committed between 2016 and 2017, have led to a ruling that has effectively locked Monyela behind bars with no prospect of release. Monyela, who was 31 at the time of the offenses, lured his victims to his church under the pretense of evening spiritual sermons. After praying with the minors, he raped them and threatened them with divine retribution, claiming the “Holy Spirit would kill them” if they spoke out.  He then drove the victims back to their residences to maintain the facade of normalcy. In August 2017, one courageous victim confided in a social worker, who alerted the victim’s parents. This led to the Maake police opening five rape cases. The...

That was when I became an adult." The famous music video director confided he would have loved to judge his father for his wanton ways with women, only that he is not in a position to do so.

 NIGER GOV ORDERS CLOSURE OF BADEGGI RADIO OVER INCITEMENT Governor Mohammed Bago of Niger State ordered the closure of Badeggi FM Radio on Friday for inciting violence.  The governor also called for the authorities to revoke the licence of the media station for fomenting trouble for his administration. Chief Press Secretary to Bago, Bologi Ibrahim,  said the governor equally directed the Commissioner for Homeland Security and the Commissioner of Police to seal the radio station, and called for its owner to be profiled. Meanwhile, Amnesty International (AI) has criticized Governor Bago for his "lawless and repressive order." "Governor Bago must immediately withdraw his unlawful order," AI stated. "Under Nigerian laws the governor has no power to order the closure of a radio station. Choosing to bizarrely blame a radio station for the inexcusable security failures of the government is an open attack on media freedom."

 El Salvador removes presidential term limits and lengthens terms El Salvador’s lawmakers approved constitutional reforms to eliminate presidential term limits and extend the presidential term from five to six years, potentially allowing President Nayib Bukele to stay in power indefinitely. The changes, passed by Bukele’s New Ideas Party in the Legislative Assembly, remove restrictions that previously barred presidents from serving consecutive terms. This vote comes about 18 months after Bukele secured a second term in a landslide victory, despite constitutional bans on immediate re-election, which the country’s Supreme Court—packed with Bukele allies—overturned, citing human rights grounds. The move sparked strong criticism from opposition politicians and human rights groups, who warn it undermines democratic checks and risks turning El Salvador into a one-party state. Opposition lawmaker Marcela Villatoro declared, “Today, democracy has died in El Salvador.” Human Rights Watch ca...

 Indonesia’s Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki erupts again, sending massive ash plumes miles into the sky Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki, one of Indonesia’s most active volcanoes, erupted for a second consecutive day early Saturday, sending volcanic ash and debris soaring up to 18 kilometers (11 miles) into the sky and covering nearby villages. No injuries were reported immediately. The volcano had also erupted Friday evening, releasing ash clouds reaching 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) and illuminating the night with glowing lava and lightning. Both eruptions occurred within a five-hour span. Indonesia’s Geology Agency reported avalanches of hot gas, rocks, and lava rushing up to 5 kilometers (3 miles) down the mountain’s slopes. Drone footage revealed significant magma movement, triggering tremors detected by seismic monitors. Volcanic fragments, including hot gravel the size of thumbs, were hurled as far as 8 kilometers (5 miles) from the crater, blanketing surrounding communities in thick ash. Au...

 Brazil’s Supreme Court holds ground on Bolsonaro trial despite international pressure Brazil’s Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes declared Friday that the court will not be swayed by sanctions or foreign interference regarding the upcoming trial of former President Jair Bolsonaro, expected later this year. De Moraes, who is leading the criminal case against Bolsonaro, did not directly mention the United States or Donald Trump, despite rising tensions between the two countries this week. The U.S. Treasury Department recently sanctioned De Moraes, accusing him of suppressing freedom of expression, while Trump signed an executive order imposing a 50% tariff on Brazilian imports. The U.S. cited what it described as “political persecution” of Bolsonaro as justification for these actions. Bolsonaro faces trial over allegations that he tried to cling to power after losing the 2022 election to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. De Moraes confirmed that the trial process is in its...

 Former Colombian president Álvaro Uribe sentenced to 12 years of house arrest Former Colombian President Álvaro Uribe Vélez was sentenced on Friday to 12 years of house arrest for bribery in criminal proceedings and procedural fraud. In addition to the house arrest, Uribe must pay a fine of about $820,000 and is banned from holding public office for over eight years. Judge Sandra Liliana Heredia issued the historic ruling on Thursday, marking the first criminal conviction of a former Colombian president in the nation’s recent judicial history. The decision has deeply divided Colombia: supporters of Uribe call it “political persecution,” while victims of human rights abuses see it as a long-overdue step toward justice. Uribe’s legal team plans to appeal the sentence before Bogotá’s Superior Court on August 11, which could delay enforcement while the appeal is underway. The case originated in 2012 when Uribe, then a senator, filed charges against Senator Iván Cepeda Castro, accusing...

Investigators led by special counsel Min Joong-ki, appointed by Yoon’s political rival and current President Lee Jae Myung, arrived at Yoon’s detention center near Seoul to question him after he twice ignored summons.

KENYA EXPORTS 50 DAIRY COWS TO NIGERIA The Kenyan government has successfully delivered 50 high-performing dairy cows to Nigeria. The cows were flown to Lagos via a cargo plane from Eldoret International Airport. “These cows, carefully selected from our smallholder farmers across the County of Champions, are a testament to the strength and potential of our local dairy sector,” said Kenyan Governor Jonathan Bii Chelilim on Facebook.  Nigeria has a large population of cows, but they have low milk yields, necessitating the need to import higher dairy breeds from other countries.

 SCIENTIST SENDS EGUSI SEEDS TO SPACE For the first time in history, egusi or melon seeds have been sent to space for scientific experiments. This was done by the founder and Managing Director of Space in Africa, Dr. Temidayo Oniosun. The egusi seeds were sent to the ISS aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket for NASA’s Crew-11 mission on Thursday. The objective was to determine the viability of egusi seeds for cultivation in the Earth's atmosphere.  Oniosun said he chose to send egusi seeds and no other seeds because of its central importance to Nigerians and Africans.  "I think that Egusi is the most cultural dish in Nigeria," he said. "You know, everybody eats Egusi. The Yorubas lay claim to Egusi that it originated from them. Even the Igbos also, they do the same. If you go across West Africa, you know, people are eating Egusi.”

 FORMER SUPER FALCONS STRIKER SAYS OBASANJO'S GOVT ROBBED THEM Former Super Falcons striker, Patience Odeli, said the administration of Olusegun Obasanjo did not reward them as much as President Bola Tinubu's administration has rewarded the team that won the 2024 WAFCON tournament in Morocco. “Promises in the regime of President Olusegun Obasanjo were worthless, whilst some NFF officials led by Amaju Pinnick and coaches sat on our little bonuses and kits," she said. "Amaju repeatedly asked some of us to send our account details without paying us till date.”   Odeli revealed her Super Falcons team won the Women’s African Cup of Nations four times and featured in four FIFA Women’s World Cups.

 US MOVES TWO NUCLEAR SUBMARINES NEARER RUSSIA Following remarks by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that his country can hold its own against the United States on any front, Donald Trump ordered two nuclear submarines nearer Russia. "I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that," Trump stated. After Trump said that Russia and Ukraine have 10 days to agree to a ceasefire, Medvedev made it clear that it is not in Trump's place to dictate when both countries can end the war.  By dispatching the submarines, Trump said Medvedev's statements are combustible "and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances."

 Flash flooding disrupts New York City subway system New York City’s subway system, the largest mass transit network in the U.S., was overwhelmed by flash flooding Thursday as heavy rains from severe thunderstorms poured water into subway tunnels and Grand Central Terminal, creating chaos for millions of commuters. At Grand Central, water cascaded onto a Metro-North train across one of the station’s 44 platforms, giving the impression the train was parked beneath a waterfall. In Brooklyn, riders at the 7th Avenue station had to climb over fencing to avoid wading through floodwaters that seeped inside. Passengers on the 6 train were forced to exit as water flooded the subway cars. The flooding caused widespread delays throughout the evening rush hour and into Friday morning as crews worked to repair storm damage. Some Long Island Railroad services, which also stop at Grand Central, were partially suspended due to flooding, with firefighters helping stranded passengers in Queens. The...
