The OPL 245 bribery affair, also known as Malabu oil deal scandal, centres on a 2011 agreement in which Royal Dutch Shell and Italy’s Eni paid US $1.3 billion to acquire Nigeria’s deep-water oil licence OPL 245, a block believed to hold nine billion barrels of crude. Prosecutors and activists alleged that almost US $1.1 billion of the purchase price was channelled through middlemen to politicians and officials, including former petroleum minister Dan Etete, whose company Malabu Oil & Gas had originally been awarded the field. The affair gave rise to criminal trials in Italy, civil suits in the United Kingdom, parallel investigations in Nigeria, the Netherlands and the United States, and has become one of the largest cross-border corruption sagas in the history of the oil industry.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has clarified that candidates currently enrolled in tertiary institutions are eligible to register for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE), provided they fully disclose their matriculation status.

The Board, however, warned that failure to declare such status could result in the forfeiture of both the existing admission and any new admission secured through the 2026 UTME or DE.

I need guidance from experienced members in the house.

My church plans to purchase a new generator. We are considering a 9–10 kVA petrol generator because the previous one was 7.5 kVA.

Please advise us on a trusted and durable brand to buy.

I am not familiar with generator mechanisms and specifications. I only understand kVA ratings. What other specifications should I consider before making a purchase?
Our maximum budget is 900,000.
Thank you for your guidance.

If you understand what he meant you are smart. Many of us stored many bags of grain, hoping to sell and make our profits. But today, it has crashed putting many of us in debts. As I am typing this, my bro is in a debt of #54M. OBI is RIGHT, our business is being frustrated by the government, that made food stuffs gone so high, due to bad economy.

The Inspector General (IG) of Police has filed criminal charges against an Abuja-based medical practitioner, John Abebe.

The three-count charge borders on alleged fraud, criminal conspiracy, unlawful disclosure of confidential medical records, and sale of a couple’s embryos.

Dr. Abebe and his hospital, Joje Abebe Hospital & Fertility Centre Limited are 1st and 2nd defendants in the suit marked: CV/005/26, and filed before a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Abebe in one of the charges is accused of unlawfully releasing the confidential medical records of Mrs. Mary Manga to the public without their consent; an offence said to contravene Section 29 of the National Health Act, 2014.

In addition to the alleged breach of medical confidentiality, prosecutors claim that between January and May 2025, Dr. Abebe, described as a Chief Consultant Obstetrician and Gynecologist, deceived and defrauded the couple of N19 million under the pretext of being a specialist in In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).

LaClarias:
What type of ATF can I use for my Hyundai Elantra 2012? The recommended is ATF SP-IV (often Part No. 04500-00115) but doubt I can get original in the market, so which product from a trusted brand like OandO or Total is equivalent?

Nigeria's state oil firm NNPC will begin exporting a new light, sweet crude grade called Cawthorne from March, an NNPC spokesperson said, adding to a recent recovery in output from Africa’s top exporter.

The grade is expected to be exported through the Floating Storage and Offloading vessel Cawthorne, analysts at Kpler said in a note, which has a capacity of 2.2 million barrels and aims to boost crude oil transportation and production from Oil Mining Lease 18 and surrounding assets in the country's Eastern Niger Delta.

I've always been seeing the poster of Shekwolo (I don't know if that's correct) everywhere in Bwari Area Council as the APC candidate up until last weekend. Not for once have I seen this man. How does this work

Hon. Haruna Shekwolo, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate displaced from the Bwari Area Council chairmanship race by a Supreme Court ruling, has explained why FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and former Senator Philip Aduda allegedly engineered his removal from the ticket and pressured the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate to step down in favour of the new APC candidate, Joshua Ishaku Musa.

In a 4–1 majority decision on Monday, a five-member Supreme Court panel set aside a Court of Appeal majority ruling and adopted the dissenting opinion of Justice Okon Abang that Ishaku was validly nominated by the APC.

According to Shekwolo, he was removed so that Aduda could install a loyalist chairman ahead of his planned Senate comeback.

I drive a 2006 Toyota Corolla Sport. The engine and transmission are in good condition, but whenever I switch on the air conditioner, the car feels heavy, sluggish and make some noise as if it’s climbing a hill. Once the AC is turned off, it drives perfectly.
What could be causing this, and what is the solution?

Please!!!

Its obvious she has done plastic.

It was obvious she had done so during her time in office.

It is common knowledge that a typical Calabar lady’s physiological issue cannot be “aesthetic augmentation”, but ‘reduction’. Besides, aesthetic procedures are not normally done under general anesthesia. So, a third-party or next-of-kin is not usually needed, unless there are underlying conditions which may be considered threats to the procedure, thereby warranting the assurance of a relative as surety. It is a fact that, 18 years ago I underwent liposuction (fat reduction) around my hips; a feature I obviously inherited from my late Mother. This was public knowledge, as I had informed the media. I do not do things and hide in the shadows, or are ashamed of. Nobody leaked any secret, as that procedure was public knowledge. I have consistently counselled younger women not to be scared of ageing, as it is an inevitable phase of life, but rather they should embrace the prospect of ageing gracefully and beautifully in good health, by embracing a healthy lifestyle and seeking any wholesome and safe medical intervention needed.

JAMB UTME registration is closing soon, and WAEC registration for SSCE has ended. However, WAEC has refused to release the 2025 2nd series examination results done with CBT after 60 days, which is unusual. Many students need this result to enroll in UTME.

The West African Examinations Council has announced the release of results for the 2025 Second Series of the Computer-Based West African Senior School Certificate Examination for private candidates, with performance declining by 11.47 percentage points compared to 2024.

The release was contained in a statement issued Monday night by WAEC’s Head of Public Affairs, Moyosola Adesina.
