But can you really blame Israel for this mess? Hamas caused it. They knew Israel would retaliate in full force when they contemplated attacking and kidnapping people from Israel on October 7. Did they think of the defenceless people in Gaza?

On Saturday, May 31, 2025, a firsthand account revealed the systemic efforts to sideline His Excellency Mr. Peter Obi. After speaking at a powerful Fireside Chat at London Business School—hosted by the Africa Business Club under the theme “From Promise to Prosperity: Charting Africa’s Development with Political Will and Vision”—Mr. Obi attended the Unity Cup Final between Nigeria and Jamaica at Brentford Community Stadium.

During the match, young Nigerian fans chanted his name, and players began to recognize him. To avoid causing distraction, Mr. Obi stepped aside during the penalty shootout. After Nigeria's win, officials initially welcomed him to join a celebratory photo with the team. But suddenly, following a phone call, their tone shifted. One official harshly declared that Obi was not allowed to be in any photos. A player who attempted to greet him was stopped by security under direct instruction, visibly shaken by the hostility. Even private efforts to meet the team in the dressing room were denied.

Despite this, fans from both Nigeria and Jamaica continued to approach Mr. Obi warmly, undeterred by politics. The experience revealed how political bias has infiltrated even sports—an arena meant to unify. The incident affirmed the author's belief that Nigeria must work toward a future where no citizen is silenced due to political affiliation and where equality prevails.

In October 2024, Nigerian fintech company Moniepoint raised $110 million, reaching unicorn status. Notably, this funding round also benefited employees: two senior staff members sold part of their shares, earning $20,000 and $850,000 (₦1.3 billion), respectively. This marked the second time Moniepoint enabled employee share sales, a practice increasingly used to retain and reward senior talent.

Moniepoint allowed only employees with at least three years at the company to participate in the share sale, with limits on how much could be sold. Shares vest over four years, with 25% vesting annually. Despite the shares being sold at a discount—common in such private transactions—the payouts were substantial and well-received.

Equity has become a valuable tool for startups like Moniepoint to attract and retain top talent, especially as IPOs and acquisitions remain rare in Africa. Companies now use secondary share sales to reward long-term employees with liquidity. Moniepoint’s use of platforms like Carta also helped employees understand and navigate these transactions.

This shift reflects a broader trend in Africa’s tech industry, as companies like Arnergy have similarly facilitated employee share sales. While equity was once unfamiliar in Nigeria’s startup space, it's now seen as a key signal of trust and ownership. Industry experts believe this growing adoption could make equity compensation a standard benefit for African tech workers.

Two senior commanders of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), Ya Muhammad and Abou Dawuda, were killed during a failed assault on Damboa, Borno State, by Nigerian military forces. The encounter involved coordinated ground resistance and targeted aerial strikes by the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), part of Operation Hadin Kai.

Ya Muhammad, known as the Ameer Fiya of Garno, was one of five key ISWAP leaders spearheading the attack. Although he initially escaped with two General Purpose Machine Guns (GPMGs) and hid in Bula Bukarti forest, he was later killed in a follow-up airstrike while attempting to regroup with other fighters. His body was recovered by ISWAP members, dealing a major blow to the group.

Ya Muhammad was linked to other high-ranking ISWAP figures, including Abu Ayuba, Abu Khalid, and Ameer Sarki, and was believed to have played a central role in attacks across Borno and Yobe states, including in Wajiroko, Sabon Gari, and Damboa. His death, along with that of Abou Dawuda, has reportedly demoralized the terrorist group.

The Enugu State Police Command has summoned Mr. Chijioke Ezugwu, Chairman of Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area, for allegedly leading a local vigilante group into forests to confront suspected killer herdsmen. Security sources say he was invited twice by the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Operations—reportedly a northerner—over accusations including the alleged killing of herdsmen. Ezugwu, citing his legal background and duty to protect his people, declined to make a statement under caution.

Local sources claim the vigilante efforts were necessary due to the failure of security agencies to curb recurring violence, kidnappings, and killings attributed to herdsmen. The governor, Peter Mbah, intervened to stop Ezugwu’s possible transfer to Force Headquarters in Abuja, raising suspicions due to his alleged ties with northern interests.

Recent violence includes the brutal killing of a 90-year-old man and his wife in Nimbo, reportedly by herdsmen, reigniting fear in a community already traumatized by years of attacks. Since 2016, Uzo-Uwani has suffered waves of violence, with over 36 deaths and repeated incidents of rape, abduction, and farmland destruction. In May, seven farmers were killed and six others kidnapped in the area. Locals accuse the police of inaction and support Ezugwu's initiative to defend the community.

Efforts by SaharaReporters to reach the police spokesperson and Mr. Ezugwu for comments were unsuccessful.

Jason Njoku, founder of iROKOtv, reflected candidly on the platform’s 15-year journey and its struggle to succeed in Nigeria's challenging streaming landscape. Launched in 2011, iROKOtv attracted major global investors like Tiger Global and spent over $100 million trying to build a viable streaming business in Nigeria. However, due to expensive data, poor payment infrastructure, and limited consumer spending power, the company remained in "survival mode" for a decade.
Despite aggressive efforts—such as deploying kiosks, building content libraries, and targeting diaspora markets—iROKOtv couldn’t compete effectively with global players like Netflix, Amazon, and Showmax, who collectively spent over $1 billion in Africa from 2015–2023. Njoku admitted that, in hindsight, the Nigerian market was not mature enough to support a $5/month premium service model.
While the streaming arm struggled, iROKOtv’s ROK Studios—focused on content production and TV distribution—proved successful, representing 80% of the company’s revenue. In 2019, a $25 million partial exit to Canal+ allowed the company to realize profits, but subsequent reinvestment into the local market post-COVID wiped out much of that gain.
By 2023, Njoku and his team exited the Nigerian streaming market, conceding it wasn't viable. He now believes the real value in Nollywood lies in content creation, channels, and distribution—not streaming. Reflecting on costly lessons, Njoku cautions other founders against over-raising and misjudging market readiness. He concluded that billions were wasted across the industry trying to force a model that didn’t fit Nigeria’s economic realities, reinforcing the importance of strategic discipline and realistic market assessment.

To mitigate the impact of future flooding, the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has intensified community engagement in Ekiti State, listed by NIMET as one of the flood-prone areas. At a forum held in Ikere Ekiti as part of the 2025 Stakeholders’ Engagement on National Disaster Preparedness and Response Campaign, NEMA Deputy Director Dr. Evans Ugoh emphasized the importance of prevention, mitigation, and preparedness. He urged residents to stop dumping refuse in waterways to ensure proper drainage and reduce disaster risks.
Dr. Ugoh outlined key strategies, including public enlightenment, early warning systems, risk assessments, and capacity building. He stressed that proactive measures and awareness are critical in reducing the impact of potential flooding events.
Oludare Asaolu, General Manager of the Ekiti State Emergency Management Authority (SEMA), highlighted the devastating effects of flooding, which range from immediate threats to long-term consequences for health, infrastructure, and the economy. Flooding can cause displacement, damage to property, and outbreaks of waterborne diseases like cholera and hepatitis, while also disrupting essential services and livelihoods.
The Ogoga of Ikere Kingdom, Oba Adejumi Adu-Alagbado, praised the proactive efforts of NEMA and SEMA but called for stricter enforcement against environmental practices that worsen flooding, especially illegal dumping of waste in drainage channels. He noted that local government authorities are committed to penalizing offenders to deter future violations.
The campaign reinforces the need for collective responsibility and continuous education to prevent flood-related disasters across vulnerable communities.

At the 2025 PENGASSAN Women Annual Convention in Abuja, Comrade Festus Osifo, President of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN), announced that the union had successfully secured wage increases of up to 300% for some oil and gas workers. This significant achievement is part of the union’s collective bargaining efforts in response to escalating inflation, the devaluation of the Naira, and broader economic challenges affecting Nigerian workers.

Osifo emphasized that since 2023, PENGASSAN has negotiated substantial salary adjustments across various companies, with many recording over 200% increases. He highlighted that unlike other sectors struggling with stagnant wages, PENGASSAN workers have seen real improvements, and the union remains focused on addressing the impact of currency devaluation rather than simply advocating for a minimum wage of ₦70,000.

In a broader economic context, Osifo gave a mixed review of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, acknowledging some progress in macroeconomic policy but criticizing its limited impact on everyday Nigerians, especially in areas like food, healthcare, and education.

Also speaking at the event, Comrade Maryann Ada Mbanaso, Chairperson of the PENGASSAN Women Commission, underscored the group’s commitment to empowering women in leadership and transforming the energy industry. She declared that women are vital to the sector’s future and must take proactive steps to secure their place in decision-making spaces.

South Africa recorded 109 business liquidations in April 2025, bringing the year-to-date total to 482 for the first four months, according to Statistics South Africa. This represents a 13.2% year-on-year increase in April closures.

The data reveals a significant shift: voluntary liquidations (owner-initiated closures) surged by 25.7% year-on-year, while compulsory liquidations (creditor-forced) decreased by 29.4%. This indicates more entrepreneurs are proactively shutting down amidst severe economic pressures.

Businesses face compounding challenges:
High interest rates increasing borrowing costs.
Weak consumer demand reducing revenue.
Rising operational costs, exacerbated by persistent energy insecurity ("load shedding" forcing expensive alternatives like generators.
Logistical hurdles and transport cost increases.

External pressures intensified the situation:
The launch of former US President Trump's global tariff war, including a 10% global tariff and paused "Liberation Day" tariffs targeting South Africa following land reform disputes.
Growing tensions within South Africa's Government of National Unity over the 2025 budget.

This combination created significant uncertainty, causing many businesses to halt investment and adopt a "wait-and-see" approach. The Small Business Institute warns the data reflects a worsening climate where sustaining operations is increasingly difficult. The rising liquidation trend underscores an urgent need for stronger economic interventions to support SMEs, vital for recovery and growth.
