 Tyla's Lagos Concert Sparks Intense Debate Amid Renewed Xenophobia Concerns The announcement of South African Grammy-winning singer Tyla's "APOP World Tour" has triggered a widespread and divided reaction across Nigerian social media platforms, particularly concerning her scheduled performance in Lagos on December 22. The planned concert, which precedes her shows in Cape Town on January 4 and Johannesburg on January 9, has become a flashpoint for renewed outrage over persistent allegations of xenophobic attacks against Nigerian nationals in South Africa. Calls for Boycott Gain Momentum Following PUNCH Online's report on Tyla's tour schedule, X (formerly Twitter) quickly became a battleground for opinions. A vocal segment of Nigerian users urged a complete boycott of the Lagos event, linking the concert directly to the alleged mistreatment of Nigerians in South Africa.

 Pollution linked to French-British oil firm's Congo operations poses health risks, report says


Human Rights Watch said on Monday pollution linked to the operations of French-British oil firm Perenco in the Democratic Republic of Congo ​was exposing nearby communities to health risks, including respiratory illnesses and ‌symptoms such as chest pain.


Perenco is the country's sole oil producer, operating both onshore and offshore facilities around the town of Muanda along Congo's 37-km (23-mile) Atlantic coastline, pumping ​around 19,500 barrels of oil per day, Reuters reported.


Human Rights Watch said its ​findings were based on interviews with 45 residents, oil workers, ⁠health professionals, officials and experts, as well as analysis of satellite imagery, ​videos and photographs from the area.


The group said remote-sensing data and witness accounts ​indicated flaring, which is largely prohibited under Congolese law, at five sites between January 2025 and March 2026, including one less than 80 metres (262 feet) from homes. It cited ​residents reporting respiratory illnesses and other symptoms such as chest pain, headaches ​and nausea.


The group also said Perenco had not prevented oil spills from wells and pipelines ‌from ⁠leaking into the soil and riverbeds, citing two previous studies as additional evidence.


An investigation by Congo's Senate in 2013 found lead and mercury levels above WHO drinking-water guidelines. A 2025 study by researchers from universities in Congo and ​Cameroon found hydrocarbons ​and other pollutants ⁠in contaminated soil near Muanda posed potential risks to human health.
