In a dramatic turn of events that has seized public attention, the Federal Government has moved decisively to douse two raging tempests in Nigeria’s aviation sector — ordering the release of detained Ibom Air passenger, Comfort Emmanson, and slashing the flight ban imposed on Fuji music icon, Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, widely known as KWAM 1.

The announcement came on Wednesday from the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, SAN, following high-level consultations with aviation stakeholders and a careful review of the incidents that had sparked national debate.

Emmanson’s case stemmed from a heated confrontation aboard an Ibom Air flight from Lagos to Uyo on August 10, 2025, when she allegedly refused to turn off her mobile phone during take-off preparations. Matters escalated when she struck a flight attendant, leading to her forcible removal from the aircraft, subsequent arrest, and incarceration at Kirikiri Prison. The Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) responded with a lifetime flying ban, citing its zero-tolerance stance on violence.

Keyamo revealed that Emmanson displayed “genuine remorse” during police questioning in the presence of her lawyer — a key factor in the airline’s decision to withdraw its complaint. The AON also agreed to lift the lifetime ban, with formal release procedures now underway. “This is not an endorsement of misconduct,” Keyamo stressed, “but an acknowledgement that contrition deserves a second chance.”

The minister’s peace-making extended to the case of KWAM 1, whose August 5, 2025 altercation at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, had made headlines. The Fuji legend was accused of refusing to surrender a prohibited flask — allegedly containing alcohol — before boarding a ValueJet flight. Witnesses claimed he poured its contents on crew and security staff, then proceeded onto the tarmac, disrupting aircraft movements.

Initially, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) handed him a one-year ban and lodged a criminal complaint. But on Wednesday, Keyamo announced a reduced penalty of just one month, coupled with an innovative resolution: FAAN will enlist KWAM 1 as an ambassador for airport security awareness, transforming the incident into a platform for positive advocacy.

The leniency also extends to ValueJet’s Captain Oluranti Ogoyi and First Officer Ivan Oloba, both suspended over the same incident. Their licenses will be restored after serving the same one-month ban and completing a professional reappraisal programme.

Keyamo used the moment to highlight a shared responsibility between passengers and airline staff. “No party in these disputes is entirely without blame,” he remarked. “We must all embrace civility and accountability if we are to keep our skies safe and our airports calm.”

To prevent future flare-ups, the ministry will convene a retreat next week for aviation and security agencies to sharpen skills in de-escalating conflicts. Airlines will also review the behaviour of frontline staff towards travellers.

“These acts of clemency draw a line under two turbulent episodes,” Keyamo concluded, “but they reaffirm that safety and respect remain the non-negotiable cornerstones of our aviation sector.”

For now, the storms have passed — and Nigeria’s skies may once again promise smoother journeys.

In a dramatic illustration of Nigeria’s tightening job market, an astonishing 1,911,141 Nigerians have thrown their hats into the ring for the 2025 recruitment drive by the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire, and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB). With just 30,000 positions on offer, the figures translate to a brutal selection rate of barely 1.57%, setting the stage for one of the fiercest job contests in the nation’s history.

The application portal, which finally shut down late Monday night, had endured weeks of turbulence. Originally scheduled to open on June 26, the exercise stumbled at the starting line when repeated portal crashes forced postponements — first to July 14, then to July 21. Technical breakdowns, coupled with a surge of early applicants, meant the closing date had to be extended from August 4 to August 11.

When the dust settled, the numbers told a story that was as staggering as it was sobering. Kogi State emerged as the epicentre of the recruitment stampede with 116,162 applicants, narrowly ahead of Kaduna (114,536) and Benue (110,565). Kano (89,355) and Niger (79,504) rounded out the top five states, collectively accounting for an eye-watering 510,174 hopefuls.

At the other end of the spectrum, Bayelsa recorded the smallest number of entries — 11,669 — followed by Lagos (14,215), Rivers (22,207), Ebonyi (23,601), and Delta (27,956). Combined, these five states mustered fewer than 100,000 applications — less than a fifth of Kogi’s figure alone.

The stakes are particularly high because the vacancies span four major paramilitary agencies: the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Nigeria Correctional Service, Federal Fire Service, and Nigeria Immigration Service. With no more than a few hundred to a thousand slots per state, insiders warn that even highly qualified candidates will face daunting odds.

The CDCFIB, in a post on its official X (formerly Twitter) account, expressed appreciation to applicants while outlining the next steps:

“Recruitment Applications Closed! We thank all applicants for their interest and commitment to serving with honour, integrity, and national pride. Shortlisted candidates will be contacted shortly with further instructions. Please monitor your email and text messages over the coming weeks.”

For many, the process has been more than just a career pursuit — it has been a shot at stability in a volatile economy. “This is not just about wearing a uniform,” said Musa Adamu, a graduate applicant from Kaduna. “It’s about securing a livelihood when every other door seems closed.”

Economists point to the overwhelming response as a stark reflection of Nigeria’s high youth unemployment rate, with millions of qualified graduates chasing limited public-sector jobs for the promise of steady pay, pension security, and social prestige.

With the screening phase now on the horizon, tension is building. The closing of the portal has ended one chapter, but for the 1.9 million contenders, the real battle — the fight for a badge, a salary, and a future — is only just beginning.

Miami’s golden coastline shimmered brighter than ever on Sunday as Afrobeat icon David “Davido” Adeleke and his long-time sweetheart Chioma Rowland sealed their love in a breathtaking ceremony that fused oceanfront glamour with the cultural heartbeat of Nigeria.

Nicknamed CHIVIDO 2025, the wedding drew a constellation of political giants, business moguls, and entertainment royalty — a guest list so star-studded it could have been scripted for a Hollywood blockbuster.

At the center of the power circle stood Aliko Dangote, Africa’s wealthiest man, whose understated cream agbada quietly radiated gravitas. His daughter Fatima Dangote added a touch of refined elegance, her poise turning as many heads as her couture ensemble.

Former Senate President Bukola Saraki mingled effortlessly, offering warm smiles and handshakes, while Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke — the groom’s exuberant uncle — embodied the joyous spirit of family pride. From ministers to music producers, the elite spectrum of Nigerian society seemed to converge on the sandy shores.

Yet for all the political weight and billionaire presence, the evening belonged to love and heritage. Guests arrived in bespoke aso ebi fabrics awash in shimmering tones, alongside runway-worthy gowns and sharply tailored suits. It was a parade of culture and couture, each outfit telling a story of roots and respect for tradition.

The ceremony itself unfolded like a symphony — the gentle hum of the Atlantic breeze, the solemn exchange of vows, and the vibrant pulse of Yoruba customs woven seamlessly into the day’s grandeur. Chioma’s gown, a masterwork of intricate beading and graceful lines, contrasted perfectly with Davido’s regal attire, both exuding a sense of destiny fulfilled.

When the sun dipped into the horizon, fireworks painted the Miami night, while Afrobeat rhythms kept the dance floor alive until the small hours. Conversations flowed between titans of industry and rising stars, a rare mingling of Nigeria’s old guard and its next generation.

In the end, CHIVIDO 2025 was more than a wedding — it was a cultural spectacle, a living tableau of love crowned by legacy. It reminded all present, and millions watching online, that while fame may command attention and wealth may open doors, it is love — celebrated in the embrace of family, tradition, and community — that truly reigns supreme.

In a rare, emphatic response to growing murmurs within his congregation, Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi, General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, has dismissed any notion that he will step aside from leading the church under external pressure, insisting that only divine direction will determine the timing of his succession.

Speaking during a leaders’ meeting, Kumuyi addressed what he described as an unusual fixation on the question of his successor. “I’m wondering why this young man is emphasising successor, successor. Are they tired of me? Are you tired of me?” he asked, his tone both reflective and firm.

The veteran preacher made it clear that neither church members, ministry leaders, nor even family could dictate his leadership decisions. “Anyone trying to control me, I will not take it — not even from my wife,” he declared. “I have been preaching before I married my first wife, and before I married my second after my first passed away. I stand where I stand with conviction, and nobody will put me under.”

He pointed to biblical precedents where God, not men, appointed successors to spiritual leaders, emphasising that the same principle applies to his ministry. While acknowledging that a successor will indeed emerge one day, Kumuyi stressed that it will happen in God’s time and not through human agitation.

Visibly pained by suggestions that his presence has overstayed its welcome, the 83-year-old clergyman rejected attempts to limit his preaching schedule, duration, or content. “I don’t generally sleep until 2 a.m., sometimes 2:30 a.m., digging into the Word and preparing to give my best to the church. Yet there are some who want to restrict where I preach, how I preach, and how long I preach. I will not take that.”

He urged members — from ushers to choir members to security personnel — not to undermine his convictions. “Don’t try to kill my conviction. You will not succeed. It will only make me resist you more and still teach the truth,” he warned.

Kumuyi reminded the congregation of the privilege of having an active leader at his age, noting that the real issue should be supporting the ministry’s mission, not preempting its transition. “When the time comes, God will choose a man after His own heart. Don’t try to drive me away — even though you cannot.”

Concluding with a note of resolve, Kumuyi called on the church to “unlearn unproductive habits” and focus on eternal rewards rather than internal politics. His message was unmistakable: the pulpit is not a place for human power games, and the calling he carries will remain until the One who gave it decides otherwise.

In a rallying call to Nigeria’s young generation, the Federal Government has pledged a decisive strategy to transform the country’s vast youth population into a dynamic engine for national growth. Speaking at the 2025 Employability Fair hosted by Caleb University, Imota, Lagos, Minister of Youth Development Ayodele Olawande underscored the urgency of matching academic training with real-world skills to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving economy.

“Our youth are not just the leaders of tomorrow — they are the productive force of today,” Olawande declared in his keynote address. “Nigeria’s prosperity hinges on our ability to equip this generation not only with academic qualifications but with the skills, mindset, and networks to become innovators, employers, and problem solvers.”

The minister outlined the Federal Government’s focus on strategic initiatives in digital literacy, entrepreneurship, and job readiness, insisting that youth empowerment policies are being recalibrated to meet the needs of a changing global workforce. “The energy of our youth must be channelled into value creation. This is the currency of 21st-century progress,” he said.

Commending Caleb University for its proactive approach, Olawande described the Employability Fair as a model of academia-industry synergy. “Institutions like Caleb University are building bridges over the chasm between classroom learning and workplace demands. This is how we dismantle the unemployment crisis,” he added.

The second edition of the fair gathered over 100 leading organisations from banking, technology, manufacturing, education, and development sectors. Executives, recruiters, and HR specialists engaged directly with students through mentorship sessions, CV clinics, on-the-spot job interviews, and internship placements — turning the campus into a live recruitment hub.

Vice-Chancellor Prof. Olalekan Asikhia reaffirmed the university’s mission to produce graduates who can excel anywhere in the world. “At Caleb University, we are committed to nurturing global citizens — employable, entrepreneurial, and impactful,” he said.

Asikhia also shared ten workplace habits that, in his view, separate high achievers from the crowd. Among them: resilience in adversity, empathy in teamwork, mastery of time, a growth-oriented mindset, and fluency in digital tools. He urged students to value consistent routines, deliberate task prioritisation, and the constant pursuit of excellence. “You cannot meaningfully impact others until you have been transformed yourself,” he reminded them.

The event’s atmosphere blended inspiration with opportunity — a space where young Nigerians were not only encouraged to dream big but were given the tools and connections to make those dreams tangible. If the government’s promises and the private sector’s engagement converge, the vision shared at Caleb University could signal a turning point in how Nigeria mobilises its most abundant resource: its youth.

Nigeria is in mourning following the passing of Chief Audu Ogbeh, a seasoned politician whose career spanned more than four decades across several political parties and national roles. The former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development under the Buhari administration died on Saturday, August 9, at the age of 78, according to a statement from his family.

Born in Efugo-Otukpa, Ogbadibo Local Government Area of Benue State, Ogbeh entered politics in the late 1970s and quickly rose through the ranks, serving as Deputy Speaker of the Benue House of Assembly before being appointed Minister of Communications in the Second Republic at the age of 32 under President Shehu Shagari.

In 2001, Ogbeh took the reins as National Chairman of the PDP, leading Africa’s then-largest political party through critical moments in Nigeria’s democratic history. Though he resigned in 2005 following disagreements with then-President Olusegun Obasanjo, his legacy as a principled leader remained untarnished.

Ogbeh returned to national service in 2015, appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari as Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development. During his tenure, he championed agricultural reforms, supported local food production, and promoted agro-entrepreneurship, policies that reshaped Nigeria’s food security landscape.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in his condolence message, described Ogbeh as “a patriot whose wisdom and commitment to national development left an impact on Nigeria’s political life.” He highlighted the late politician’s contributions to policy discussions and practical approaches to governance.

Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, paid a condolence visit to Ogbeh’s Abuja residence, calling him “a distinguished public servant” who contributed to governance at multiple levels. Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, reacting from Uganda, described him as “a committed patriot and believer in participatory democracy.”

Senate President Godswill Akpabio referred to Ogbeh as “a dedicated Nigerian who played a role in shaping our democratic journey,” while former Vice President Atiku Abubakar noted that he was “a development-minded politician who blended intellectualism with pragmatism.”

Former Senate President David Mark called Ogbeh “a rare breed of political leader who believed in justice, fairness and equity,” and recalled their longstanding political association. Former Delta State Governor James Ibori recounted a political encounter during the 2003 elections in which Ogbeh, then PDP chairman, declined to block his candidacy despite political pressure.

Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia expressed his condolences, calling Ogbeh “a guiding light for generations of Nigerian leaders. ”The Northern States Governors’ Forum described Ogbeh as “an accomplished leader and seasoned politician,” while the Arewa Consultative Forum noted his contributions to agriculture, highlighting his work in introducing agricultural reform initiatives aimed at improving transparency and mechanisation.

Beyond politics, Ogbeh was known for his interests in farming, education, and writing. A farmer by profession, he combined public service with agricultural advocacy, often championing self-sufficiency and rural development.

Chief Audu Ogbeh’s career reflected Nigeria’s political evolution over the past four decades, moving between parties, holding ministerial posts, and participating in key moments of governance. While reactions to his passing differ in emphasis, there is broad agreement that his contributions spanned politics, agriculture, and public discourse.

He is survived by his wife, children, and grandchildren. Funeral arrangements are expected to be announced by the family in the coming days.

Nigeria’s journalistic landscape stands still as tributes pour in for Dr Doyin Abiola, the formidable matriarch of Nigerian media and widow of the late MKO Abiola, whose death at the age of 82 marks the end of an era defined by fearless journalism, democratic advocacy, and trailblazing leadership.

Dr Abiola, celebrated as the first woman to helm a national newspaper in Nigeria, passed away on Tuesday night. Her passing has drawn an emotional cascade of tributes from leaders across the political and media spectrum, highlighting a legacy etched in courage, intellect, and patriotic resilience.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in a deeply personal tribute, hailed Dr Abiola as a “towering icon of the press, a brave Amazon in the fight for democracy, and a relentless champion of women’s empowerment.” Reflecting on her pivotal role during the June 12, 1993 crisis, Tinubu recalled how she fearlessly challenged the military regime that annulled her husband’s electoral victory. “She stood not just as a wife but as a soldier of democracy in her own right,” the President declared.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar lauded her as “a fiery journalist, human rights crusader, and a symbol of moral clarity,” while Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State emphasised her strength during Nigeria’s most volatile political periods. “Her legacy goes beyond journalism—she epitomised sacrifice, resilience, and moral conviction,” Abiodun said.

A journalism scholar with a PhD in Communications and Politics, Dr Abiola joined the Concord Press in its early days and swiftly rose through the ranks, eventually becoming Managing Director and Editor-in-Chief—a historic feat for a woman in the male-dominated newsroom of the 1980s. Under her leadership, Concord became not only a household name but a voice of the people, often at great personal and institutional risk during military clampdowns.

Her colleagues remember her not only for her intellect but for her maternal leadership. Minister of Solid Minerals, Dele Alake, described her as “a boss, a mother, and a mentor rolled into one—a woman of uncommon grace, grit, and genius.”

The Newspapers Proprietors’ Association of Nigeria (NPAN), mourning one of its own, called her “a rare breed in media history” and hailed her as the first woman to sit atop a national editorial desk.

Dr Doyin Abiola leaves behind a powerful legacy—one that shaped modern Nigerian journalism, inspired generations of women, and anchored a nation’s conscience during its darkest democratic trials.

The nation bows in respect as the media icon of Nigerian Journalism takes her final curtain.

In a dramatic and deeply troubling turn of events, the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has come under intense national scrutiny following the release of the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results—the worst performance recorded in the past five years. The figures have not only stunned stakeholders but also ignited widespread protests, digital outrage, and an avalanche of unanswered questions.

Out of the 1,969,313 students who sat for the examination between April and June, only 754,545 candidates (38.32%) managed to secure credit passes in at least five subjects including Mathematics and English Language—a jaw-dropping plunge from the 72.12% pass rate recorded just a year ago in 2024. The 33.8 percentage point decline has set off alarm bells across the country.

The wave of anger and disbelief has swept through households, schools, and the education sector at large. In states such as Lagos, Rivers, and Kano, frustrated parents have taken to WAEC liaison offices in protest, demanding explanations for either partially released or completely withheld results. “This isn’t just failure—it’s sabotage,” exclaimed Mrs. Nwosu, a parent protesting in Port Harcourt. “Our children are not statistics. They deserve better.”

WAEC’s Head of National Office, Mr. Amos Dangut, acknowledged the steep drop in performance during a press conference in Lagos, attributing it to the Council’s stepped-up efforts to combat malpractice. Key among these was the serialisation of objective papers in Mathematics, English Language, Biology, and Economics, making it more difficult for candidates to copy from one another.

But many stakeholders argue that this crackdown, while necessary, has exposed deeper systemic weaknesses and collateral damage in WAEC’s approach. “We support exam integrity, but the sudden collapse in pass rates suggests poor preparedness, not just by students, but perhaps also by the examination system itself,” said a secondary school principal in Kaduna.

Fueling further tensions is the fact that 262,803 candidates (13.34%) have had their results withheld over alleged exam malpractice, while 451,796 candidates are still waiting for results in one or more subjects due to technical or procedural issues.

In some regions, like Anambra, allegations of preferential treatment have emerged. An anonymous whistleblower claimed that a private school notorious for aiding exam cheating recorded near-perfect results—raising suspicions about the consistency of WAEC’s enforcement.

Meanwhile, thousands of students complained of server failures and portal downtime, leaving many unable to access their results online. Social media erupted with hashtags like reflecting a nationwide sense of betrayal.

Amid the chaos, WAEC noted that 12,178 candidates with special needs also participated in the exam and that their results have been processed and released. Still, this silver lining does little to overshadow the storm.

Education stakeholders are now demanding a transparent audit, improved communication strategies, and urgent reform within WAEC. For a generation of students caught in the crossfire, the academic uncertainty is deeply unsettling.

As public confidence in Nigeria’s premier examination body falters, the release of the 2025 WASSCE results may go down as not just a statistical anomaly—but a national crisis that could redefine the future of standardized testing in the country.

ABUJA, NIGERIA — In a momentous celebration of excellence and national pride, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has showered Nigeria’s women’s basketball team, D’Tigress, with royal rewards following their historic fifth consecutive AfroBasket Championship victory.

At a grand presidential reception held at the State House Banquet Hall, Abuja, Vice President Kashim Shettima—standing in for the President—announced a generous reward of $100,000 for each player and $50,000 for each member of the coaching and technical crew. Every team member and staff also received a three-bedroom apartment at the Renewed Hope Estate, in addition to the conferral of one of Nigeria’s highest civilian honours—the Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON).

The victorious D’Tigress, who outclassed Mali 78–64 to clinch their seventh AfroBasket title, were warmly received by First Lady Oluremi Tinubu and Second Lady Nana Shettima, along with top dignitaries including Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila, and National Assembly Sports Committee leaders.

In a heartfelt speech, Shettima hailed the players as “symbols of excellence and unity”, emphasizing how their triumph exemplifies the power of teamwork and determination. “When you wore the green and white, it was more than just a uniform—you wore it with purpose. And now, you wear the crown of African basketball with unmatched grace,” he said.

Special accolades were reserved for Head Coach Rena Wakama, who led the team to glory and inspired a new generation of girls in sports. “Coach Wakama, your quiet strength has shattered ceilings. You are not just a coach—you are a movement,” Shettima declared.

Tributes also poured in for standout stars Amy Okonkwo (tournament MVP) and Ezinne Kalu, whose heroics powered Nigeria to a flawless final. “To the young people of Nigeria, D’Tigress is proof that dreams built on discipline and belief will always rise,” Shettima said .

Tinubu’s administration reaffirmed its commitment to sports as a driver of national development. “We see sports not only as entertainment, but as diplomacy, employment, education, and infrastructure,” Shettima noted.

From the court to the corridor of honours, D’Tigress reign not only as African champions—but now as national treasures.
