-

In a major diplomatic development, the United States has officially designated Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” (CPC) over alleged violations of religious freedom , a move that could pave the way for possible U.S. sanctions . The decision, announced by former U.S. President Donald Trump , has sparked widespread reactions both within Nigeria and across the international community. Trump’s Statement and Global Reactions Speaking in Washington D.C., Trump claimed that Christians in Nigeria face an “existential threat” due to what he described as “ systemic persecution and violence .” He alleged that the Nigerian government has failed to protect religious minorities, especially in the country’s northern region where insurgent and communal attacks remain frequent. “The world can no longer ignore the suffering of Christians in Nigeria,” Trump said, calling on the U.S. State Department to take “immediate action” to hold perpetrators accountable.

Nigeria’s Economic Reforms: Growth Gains, But Hardship Persists

-
Image
Nigeria’s economy is slowly climbing out of one of its toughest periods in recent years. According to the latest World Bank report, the country recorded a 3.9% growth in the first half of 2025 , an improvement from 3.5% in the same period of 2024. While the numbers signal positive momentum, the reality for many Nigerians is still difficult, as inflation and poverty continue to bite hard. The Bola Tinubu-led administration has introduced a series of bold reforms aimed at stabilizing the economy and rebuilding investor confidence. These include the removal of fuel subsidies, the unification of exchange rates, and policies to boost local production and exports. Economists say these measures are beginning to yield results, but the transition remains painful for millions of households.

Ned Nwoko Stands by Polygamy Comments — Says He “Feels Sorry for Men with One Wife”

-
Image
Nigerian billionaire businessman and senator, Prince Ned Nwoko , has once again made headlines after reaffirming his strong belief in polygamy , saying he “feels sorry for men with one wife.” The lawyer and husband to Nollywood actress Regina Daniels made the controversial statement during a recent interview, triggering widespread discussions online. His words, though bold, reignited Nigeria’s long-standing cultural debate on marriage, gender, and family structure. According to Nwoko, polygamy is not only natural but also essential for a balanced society. “I feel sorry for men with just one wife. It’s not in the nature of men to be limited to one woman. Polygamy prevents many social issues — it’s part of African culture,” he said. Nwoko explained that when men openly take multiple wives, it reduces cheating and promotes family honesty. He argued that Africa should not abandon its traditional systems in favor of Western-style monogamy. Public Reactions: Praise and Backlash Nw...

🇳🇬 From Grey List to Growth: Nigeria’s Path to Financial Credibility

-
Image
After years of intense scrutiny and reform, Nigeria has finally been removed from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list — a move that marks a major victory for the country’s financial reputation and signals a renewed sense of confidence in its economic management. For many Nigerians, this may sound like a technical headline. But beneath the jargon lies a story of progress, credibility, and the promise of new opportunities. 🌍 What Is the FATF Grey List? The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) is a global watchdog that monitors how countries prevent money laundering and the financing of terrorism . When a country lands on its “grey list,” it means that the country’s financial systems have weaknesses that could allow illegal funds or terrorist money to flow unchecked. Nigeria was placed on this grey list due to gaps in regulation, weak financial intelligence coordination, and insufficient oversight in some sectors, including fintech , real estate , and international tran...
