The Nigerian Police have arrested Scott Iguma for allegedly defaming PWAN group. Scott has been on the neck of PWAN group as he has been steadily calling them out for selling receipts instead of land.

It was learnt that PWAN group used the DCP to arrest Scott Iguma but an ally of PWAN group has claimed that PWAN group was not responsible for the arrest of Scott Iguma.

Activists like VDM, Seaking and Harrison gwanishu have added their voice my calling for the release of Scott Iguma.

The controversial Igbo king who has been living in Ghana for over 20 years and is married to a Ghanaian woman made headlines recently after buying plots of land to build a hospital and Igbo village in Ghana.

Rumors claimed he went into hiding after the news spread, but he’s now back in public — seen confidently strolling the streets of Ghana to loud cheers and celebration from his Ghanian admirers.

The thing is that the Yoruba Pro-APC Ronu folks (led by NoNonsenseZone) falsely labelled the intra-Ghana fracas as a battle against the Igbos; whatever their gain will be remains unknown, but it is clear that it is hate-sponsored from the decades old tribal envy some of them have against the adventuring Igbo spirit.

It was so bad that it took core Ghanians on social media to call out the dirty lies to their faces. As it is today, their power mongers are turning a blind eye to No Nonsense Zone. But when there is a blowout like the Lagospedia account, you will see denial left and right.

Everything to criticise or trend. If you check the garri very well, the group that gave it out is BOLDLY written on it. Obviously, it wasn't the contestant that shared it. But because we want to trend, we have to come online. Most people commenting too, never bother to even check. What a generation!

PBAT & Governor Sanwolu would be setting one of the worst precedence with this singular act.

It should be condemned in all ramification and it is definately in bad taste with a tribal bias.

All this division started after Peter Obi won the Presidential Elections in Lagos !

Haba ! I am a Yoruba Lagosian, over 80% of my friends are Igbo's and we never lived like this in Lagos State.

3/4 of the commercial activities and SMEs in Lagos as at today is promoted by the Igbo's being commerce centred. We lived as brothers through decades.

Let Government know that the seeds we sow today will germinate for lifetime.

The last LG Elections also showed same pattern with threats and bully of the S/E people with tearing of LP posters in Amuwo Odofin.

We are not like this in Lagos and politicians should not divide us !

The Technical Adviser to the Bayelsa State Governor on Print Media and Public Affairs, Hon. Wisdom Oniekpar Ikuli, has appealed to political stakeholders to support the defection of Senator Douye Diri, from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Hon. Ikuli, the convener of Concerned Bayelsa Stakeholders, a group comprising indigenes and non-indigenes resident in the state, made the appeal during a world press conference in Yenagoa, on Tuesday.

According to Ikuli, there is urgent need for Bayelsa to join the APC, the party in power, because most of the characters left in the PDP are people who conspired to deny Bayelsa State and indeed the entire Ijaw Nation, a second term at the Presidency in 2015.

Explaining further, he said there are concluded arrangements to hide under the excuse of crisis and countless court cases in PDP at different levels to work to nullify the nomination of all candidates that will emerge under the party platform.

Bayelsa State, he said, is presently standing alone as the only PDP state in the whole of South South, noting that the the greatest challenge is the hijack of the PDP by few individuals who have set up traps for Bayelsa citizens in 2027, particularly those who intend to fly the flag of the PDP.

He assured Bayelsa citizens that in the next few days, the concerned Bayelsa stakeholders will begin a daily Rally on the streets of Yenagoa to prevail on the governor to consider his defection to the APC, stressing that his move is non-negotiable and Sacrosanct.

Parts of his address read: “our fathers, High Chief Harold Dappa-Biriye and Chief (Sen.) Dr Melford Obiene Okilo admonished the Ijaw Nation to always align with the government at the centre largely due to our distance from the centre and our difficult terrain in order to attract development to our area.

“For instance, our adherence to their advice and our alignment with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that was the government at the centre helped Bayelsa State and the Ijaw Nation to produce the Vice President and later, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of this country in the person of President Goodluck Jonathan.

“Sadly, today Bayelsans and Ijaws in general are not among first 40 Nigerians from the Offices of the President, Vice President and Services Chiefs. Ijaws have been relegated and rendered politically and economically redundant and impotent because we are not with the government at the centre.


“Ironically, Ijaws who are the majority in terms of population in the geographic Niger Delta area (South South) and the fourth largest tribe in the country, Ijaw Nation that contribute well over 65% of the oil and gas wealth that are used to run the affairs of the country have been rendered powerless because of our non-alignment with the ruling party.

“Again, there is a power sharing and rotation system between the North and South. The North having done their complete eight years under late President Muhammadu Buhari is supposed to support the South to complete her own eight years under incumbent President Bola Ahmed Tinubu who is working round the clock to strengthen the South.

“The President has graciously appointed illustrious sons and daughters of Ijaw Nation and Bayelsa State in particular into key offices.

“We appreciate his appointment of Senator Heineken Lokpobiri as Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), Chief Samuel Ogbuku as MD of NDDC, Chief Ebitimi Amgbare as MD of NDDBA and Hon. Preye Aganaba as the Executive Director of Human Resources of South South Development Commission (SSDC).

“We also thank President Tinubu for approving Federal Government take over of the Second Phase of the Nembe-Brass Road that will help to link the Ocean where the vast wealth of Bayelsa State is.

“It is based on the above that we unanimously appeal to the Governor to defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to show Southern Solidarity with other Southern Governors who are with Mr. President.

“But as we move forward, one of the greatest priorities in the alliance with the centre should be the actualization of the Agge Seaport that will help to boost the state economy and also bring about unimaginable transformation and prosperity.”

Afrobeats singer Seun Kuti has reacted to the recent death of former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, offering sharp criticism and deeper reflection on the state of leadership in the country.

In a viral video, Seun questioned why many Nigerians celebrated Buhari’s passing, describing such reactions as misguided. He argued that real justice would have involved holding the former leader accountable while he was alive not merely rejoicing over his death.

The outspoken son of music legend Fela Kuti also revealed what he described as a shocking misuse of public funds. According to Seun, the Nigerian government allegedly spent a massive sum monthly on Buhari’s medical care in the United Kingdom while millions of Nigerians suffered from a broken healthcare system.

He condemned the priorities of a country that allowed a former president to live in foreign luxury while average citizens struggled for basic care. Seun expressed frustration that taxpayer money supported elite medical treatment abroad, yet failed to improve the system at home.


Seun’s comments added another layer to the public discourse, which has remained sharply divided since the announcement of Buhari’s death. While some citizens expressed relief, others urged restraint and respect.

By calling attention to injustice, inequality, and systemic failure, Seun Kuti continues the activist legacy of his father, using his platform to demand accountability in both life and leadership.

NIGERIA'S NET FOREIGN EXCHANGE RESERVE

2021 — $14.59 billion
2022 — $8.19 billion
2023 — $3.99 billion
2024 — $23.11 billion
May 2025 — $5.96 billion

FX inflows surged by 62 percent month-on-month in May 2025 to reach $5.96 billion, one of the highest levels in recent times.

The post highlights Nigeria's fluctuating foreign exchange reserves, dropping from $14.59 billion in 2021 to $3.99 billion in 2023, then surging to $23.11 billion in 2024, before a reported $5.96 billion inflow in May 2025, reflecting volatile economic policies and market reforms, including the Central Bank of Nigeria's recent shift to automate FX trades starting December 2024 to boost transparency.

Confusion in the data presentation stems from unclear differentiation between annual reserves and monthly inflows, as May 2025's $5.96 billion represents a 62% month-on-month surge rather than the total reserve, aligning with a Q1 2025 net inflow of $15.20 billion reported by Nairametrics, suggesting a rebound driven by investor confidence and diaspora remittances.

Historical context reveals Nigeria's reserves hit a peak of $62.1 billion in September 2008 per CEIC data, yet recent economic forecasts from PwC warn of potential 2025 challenges like naira pressure and GDP growth decline due to global trade tensions, challenging optimistic projections like the $45 billion reserve target for December 2025.

MCentral:
Africa’s richest man Aliko Dangote has filed paperwork to begin construction of a Deep seaport near his fertilizer and oil refinery plants to make it easier to export goods — including liquefied natural gas — and support the rapid growth of his industrial empire, Bloomberg reported.

Dangote plans “to build the biggest, deepest port in Nigeria,” took wings after he sent in the paperwork for permission in late June, he said in an interview.

The proposed Atlantic seaport in Olokola, Ogun state, lies about 100 kilometers (62 miles) by road from the billionaire’s fertilizer plant and petrochemicals refinery in Lagos. Dangote currently exports urea and fertilizer through an on-site jetty he built, that also receives heavy equipment for the refinery.

Once completed, the port will link the conglomerate’s logistics and export operations and rival facilities in Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial capital, including the Chinese-funded Lekki Deep Sea Port opened in 2023.

Lekki Deep Seaport currently has a capacity of 1.2 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) per year, which is planned to be expanded to handle 2.7 million TEUs annually.

It can accommodate vessels with a capacity of up to 18,000 TEUs, including container ships, bulk carriers, and oil tankers.

“It’s not that we want to do everything by ourselves, but I think doing this will encourage other entrepreneurs to come into it,” he said.

Dangote also plans to export liquefied gas from Lagos, a project that will involve constructing pipelines from Nigeria’s oil-rich Niger Delta., vice-president of the group Devakumar Edwin said in another interview.

“We want to do a major project to bring more gas than what NLNG is doing today,” he said, referring to Nigeria LNG Ltd., a joint-venture between the government, Shell Plc, Eni and TotalEnergies SA, which is currently the continent’s largest exporter of LNG.

“We know where there is a lot of gas, so run a pipeline all through and then bring it to the shore.”

Dangote already sources natural gas from the Niger Delta to supply his fertilizer plant, where it’s used as feedstock to produce hydrogen for ammonia — a key component in the production of the crop nutrient.

Nigeria's former president, Muhammadu Buhari, has passed away at the London Clinic on Sunday.

Allies including former Imo State governor Rochas Okorocha and former Secretary to the Government of the Federation Boss Mustapha were seen at the clinic following the announcement.

Buhari served as Nigeria’s military ruler from 1983 to 1985 and later as a two-term civilian president from 2015 to 2023.
