The multidimensional stress in the land has brought out the best in most Nigerians. Everyone appears to have devised various ingenuous ways of beating the complicated situations in the country which they do not have control over. As a newsman, I have discovered that online comments are good stress relievers. These comments are far from logical reasoning. They don’t educate either. They don’t address the message, but are usually heavy on the messenger. They are not to be taken to heart, anyway. Most importantly, they help take away tension, even if it’s just for a few minutes, while you try…

For years, if you wanted to launch a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) in South Africa, you gave Cell C a call to provide the technical infrastructure you needed. Historically, Cell C has been the primary enabler of MVNOs in this country, leveraging its own spectrum but also using the physical network infrastructure of MTN and Vodacom through roaming agreements.

Nigeria is strengthening its position in the global energy market as increased refining capacity begins to reshape regional supply dynamics and reduce dependence on imported petroleum products. The expansion of domestic refining, led by large-scale facilities such as the Dangote Refinery, is altering traditional trade flows that have long seen African nations rely heavily on Europe and the Middle East for refined fuel. With local output rising, Nigeria is transitioning into a net supplier of petroleum products within West Africa, providing an alternative source of supply in a period marked by global energy uncertainty. Industry observers note that ongoing geopolitical…

A Federal High Court sitting in Kaduna State has adjourned proceedings on the bail application of former Governor Nasir El-Rufai to March 31, 2026. This comes after Tuesday’s hearing, during which legal arguments were presented by both the prosecution and the defense. Counsel to the defendant, Ukpon Akpan urged the court to grant his client bail, citing constitutional rights and the need to allow the former governor adequate time to prepare his defense. The prosecution, however, opposed the application, arguing that the charges against El-Rufai are serious and that granting bail could interfere with ongoing investigations. Source link
