  The crisis rocking Nigeria’s education sector has deepened once again, as the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has threatened a major showdown with the Tinubu-led federal government over its continued neglect of the demands made by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU). This renewed warning comes amid rising tensions across the nation’s tertiary institutions, where lecturers have embarked on a two-week warning strike to press home their long-standing grievances. In a strongly worded statement issued by NLC President, Comrade Joe Ajaero , the labour body accused the government of insincerity and deliberate non-compliance with previous agreements signed with ASUU. The statement, as reported by Sahara Reporters , expressed deep frustration at what the NLC described as the government’s consistent habit of entering into pacts it later abandons.

The Economic Community of West African States has imposed heavier financial sanctions on the Niger junta and entities supporting them including the governments of Mali and Burkina Faso . The development came after a diplomatic mission by the African Union , ECOWAS , United Nations and the United States to resolve the political impasse in Niger hit a brick wall on Tuesday as the military junta refused to grant audience to the delegations. The military leaders also snubbed the Acting US Deputy Secretary of State, Victoria Nuland , and denied her access to the coup leader, Gen. Abdourahmane Tchiani and ousted President, Muhammed Bazoum, who was being held in the presidential palace. Some military officers led by Tchiani overthrew Bazoum on July 26 leading to a flurry of sanctions imposed on Niger by ECOWAS to compel them to restore the ousted president to power.

The tension in the Big Brother Naija Season 10 house reached new heights on Sunday night as two housemates, Daniel Olatunji , popularly known as Danboskid , and Ibifubara Davies , became the first to be evicted from the “Ten Over Ten” season. During the live eviction show, hosted with all the glitz and suspense that BBNaija fans have come to expect, Danboskid was the first to be shown the door after polling the lowest percentage of votes from viewers. He managed only about 0.65% of the total votes. Moments later, Ibifubara followed, having secured roughly 0.325% , sealing her fate as the second housemate to leave. The double eviction shocked some fans but also served as a reminder of the intense competition inside the house. Both evictees had brought their own unique personalities to the game—Danboskid, with his lively energy and humor, and Ibifubara, known for her calm yet strategic approach. Unfortunately, their fan base wasn’t strong enough to keep them in the running for the cov...
