- A fully loaded truck carrying soft drinks narrowly escaped a major accident earlier today when it crossed the railway line at the Iju–Agege route crossing, just as a train was approaching on the Iju–Agege route.
According to eyewitnesses, the truck driver attempted to beat the oncoming train, causing tension among pedestrians and motorists in the vicinity. The train, which was coming from the Iju axis and heading toward Agege, reportedly sounded repeated warning horns as it approached the crossing.
Fortunately, there were no casualties, but the incident caused panic and briefly disrupted movement around the Iju Level Crossing. Residents are calling for stricter enforcement and better safety measures to prevent such dangerous occurrences in the future.

- Chicken, Turkey, Guinea Fowl: Why they cost more in December
- Runtime

- Description
- Every year, as the festive season approaches, one thing becomes almost predictable across Nigerian markets — the prices of chicken, turkey, and guinea fowl begin to climb sharply. These birds, which are central to Christmas and New Year celebrations for many families, suddenly become luxury items, leaving buyers wondering why the cost keeps rising.
One major reason is high demand. During the festivities, virtually every household wants to buy at least one bird for celebration. This sudden surge in demand puts pressure on poultry sellers who naturally adjust prices upward to match market behaviour.
Another important factor is the increased cost of poultry feed. Over the years, the prices of maize, soya beans, and other essential feed ingredients have risen significantly. Poultry farmers spend more to raise their birds, and these costs are passed down to the final consumers.
There is also the issue of transportation costs. With fuel prices fluctua...

- The United States of America has announced major changes to its immigration system after a deadly shooting near the White House on November 26th.
Officials say a 29-year-old Afghan national carried out an ambush-style attack, shooting two National Guard members. One of them, 20-year-old Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, later died, while the second remains in critical condition.
Investigators say the suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, entered the U.S. in 2021 under Operation Allies Welcome, a relocation programme for Afghan nationals.
In response, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has ordered a sweeping review of green cards issued to citizens from 19 “countries of concern.”
These include Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Congo, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, and others.
Under the new directive, immigration officers can now factor in weak identity systems, security concerns, or poor background-check cooperation fr...

- Japan has officially begun commercial sales of the highly anticipated “Human Washing Machine,” a cutting-edge invention that has captured global attention with its futuristic approach to personal hygiene.
The device allows a user to lie inside a 2.3-meter capsule, where advanced microbubbles, a fine-mist shower, and a built-in drying system work together to deliver a completely hands-free, full-body wash. Unlike a traditional washing machine, there’s no spinning—just a smooth, soothing 15-minute cleansing cycle. The system also plays calming music during operation, creating a spa-like experience.
Beyond hygiene, the machine incorporates health-monitoring sensors that track vital signs, including heart rate and body temperature. Developers say this feature could be especially valuable for the elderly and people with mobility challenges, offering a safer, more independent way to bathe.

- After more than two years without permanent ambassadors, President Bola Tinubu has finally moved to refill Nigeria’s empty diplomatic seats.
On November 26, 2025, he sent the first three names to the Senate — including postings to the United States, United Kingdom, and France.
Just three days later, he forwarded another 32 nominees — a mix of 15 career diplomats and 17 non-career heavyweights, among them former governors Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and Okezie Ikpeazu, ex-minister Femi Fani-Kayode, Senator Jimoh Ibrahim, ex-presidential aide Reno Omokri and even former INEC chairman Mahmud Yakubu.
So why the long vacuum?
When Tinubu took office in May 2023, he recalled virtually all ambassadors for a “comprehensive diplomatic review.”
That review dragged on for over two years — crippled by funding shortages, a crashing naira, unpaid salaries at missions, and the delicate politics of balancing merit with patronage.

- According to the latest report published on Thursday, November 19, 2025, Nigeria has recorded 966 confirmed cases and 177 deaths across 21 states within the first ten months of the year. This raises the Case Fatality Rate to 18.3 percent, up from 16.5 percent recorded in the same period last year.
Lassa fever, a viral haemorrhagic illness spread mainly through food or household items contaminated with rodent urine or feces, continues to threaten many households, especially during its peak seasons. For affected families, these are not just numbers but lives disrupted and communities deeply impacted.
The NCDC report notes that Ondo, Bauchi, Edo, and Taraba States account for 87 percent of all confirmed infections, indicating sustained transmission in these regions. So far, 102 Local Government Areas have reported cases, with epidemiological week 44 recording 12 new infections—slightly higher than the previous week.

- Guinea-Bissau, a small West African nation, experienced a military takeover—the latest in a wave of coups across the continent. The coup unfolded during a recent presidential election on November 26th, suspending the constitution and imposing a curfew. President Umaro Sissoco Embaló is confirmed to be detained at the general-staff headquarters in Bissau, his whereabouts now secured by the military.
Since 2020, Africa has endured at least ten successful coups, including in Mali, Chad, Guinea, Sudan, Burkina Faso, Niger, Gabon, and now Guinea-Bissau. Just weeks ago, on October 12, Madagascar joined this troubling trend. These events highlight deep-rooted issues—weak institutions, leadership failures, and economic struggles—that are gripping the region. Notably, this is not Guinea-Bissau’s first coup; the country has faced at least nine since gaining independence in 1974.

- Description
- Northern Nigeria is witnessing one of its darkest moments in education, as renewed attacks and mass school closures push thousands of children out of classrooms. With fresh abductions and government-ordered shutdowns, learning is once again under siege.
For more than a decade, insecurity has crippled education across the North. Over 600 schools have been forced to shut at different times as communities flee bandits, insurgents, and kidnappers. That crisis deepened this week when the Federal Government ordered the immediate closure of 47 Unity Colleges, mostly in northern states.
The directive followed two major school attacks within seventy-two hours.
In Kebbi State, gunmen invaded the Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School in Maga. At least 25 schoolgirls were abducted, and the school’s Vice Principal, Hassan Makuku, was shot dead while trying to shield the students.
Just three days later, another group struck St. Mary’s Catho...

- Twenty-four students abducted from Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School, Maga, in Kebbi State, have been released after spending seven days in captivity.
The students were taken on 17 November when armed men entered the school in the early hours, shortly after a military detachment had withdrawn from the area. The incident prompted wide public concern over renewed threats to school safety across the North-West.
The Nigerian military handed over the rescued students of Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School (GGCSS), Maga, to Kebbi State Governor, Nasir Idris.
The handover ceremony took place in the early hours of Wednesday in Birnin Kebbi and was led by the Theatre Commander, Operation FANSAN YAMMA, Major General Warrah Idris, acting on the directive of the Minister of State for Defence, Muhammad Bello Matawalle.

- Description
- On 20 November 2025, a decade-long legal saga that gripped the Federal Republic of Nigeria reached its dramatic conclusion in an Abuja courtroom.
Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Federal High Court.
Born in Abia State in 1967, Nnamdi Kanu held British and Nigerian citizenship. After studying in London, he founded Radio Biafra in 2009 and formally established IPOB in 2012. His central demand was a referendum to restore an independent Republic of Biafra — the state that had collapsed in 1970 after a devastating civil war that claimed more than a million lives.
What began as provocative broadcasts from London grew into one of Nigeria’s gravest internal security crises since that war.

According to the Presidential directive, VIPs who want police protection will now request well-armed personnel from the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps.
Many parts of Nigeria, especially remote areas, have few policemen at the stations, thus making the task of protecting and defending the people difficult.
