Airtel Nigeria has joined MTN Nigeria to raise call and internet plans by 50 percent one week after MTN Nigeria implemented a similar hike.

This is part of telecom operators’ upward review of prices following the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) approval of a 50 percent tariff hike in the industry. Under this new pricing regime, Airtel has replaced its cheapest monthly data plan of 1.2GB plan for N1,000 with 2GB for N1,500.

Other changes include 3GB for N2,000 (from 1.5GB at N1,200), 4GB for N2,500 (formerly 3GB at N1,500), and 8GB for N3,000 (formerly 4.5GB at N2,000). Other adjustments include 10GB for N4,000 (formerly 6GB at N2,500), 13GB for N5,000 (from 10GB at N3,000), 18GB for N6,000 (formerly 15GB at N4,000), and 25GB for N8,000 (replacing 18GB at N5,000).

Call rates have been bumped up to 25 kobo per second from about 18 lobo per second. Like MTN, Airtel has left some tariff plans untouched. For instance, the 5GB plan/week for N1,500 remains unchanged.

This hike in tariff is meant to support “the ability of operators to continue investing in infrastructure and innovation, ultimately benefiting consumers through improved services and connectivity, including better network quality, enhanced customer service, and greater coverage.”

However, experts have noted that it may further strain consumers’ pockets. According to Bismarck Rewane, chief executive officer of Financial Derivatives Company, the hike promises to benefit operators but will put additional strain on consumers’ pockets, possibly “resulting in reduced usage from consumers.”

The noise about tech got into my head and I quit my 8-5 job. Though the 8-5 job was becoming stressful and toxic, I couldn't cope and had to leave.

I had saved some funds and learned data analytics. Now here is where the issue lies.

I've applied to more than a thousand jobs and I keep getting rejections.

My hope was to get a remote job but I'm not seeing it coming.

Is tech all about noise or it's just saturated?

While learning , we were told a data analyst earns 30k USD annually. I'm just getting tired and frustrated

It is heartbreaking but unsurprising to see that 14 of those young girls are from Akwa Ibom state. This is the direct consequence of decades of failed leadership in a state that should be an economic powerhouse but instead produces some of the most impoverished and vulnerable citizens in Nigeria.

For years, Akwa Ibom governors have prioritized road construction over job creation, industrialization, and human capacity development. They build roads that lead nowhere while their people roam those same streets in search of opportunities that do not exist. The state is rich in oil, yet its indigenes are forced to migrate to Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt to take on demeaning jobs, and in the worst cases, fall victim to human trafficking and prostitution.

How can a state so blessed with human and natural resources consistently rank among the top in child trafficking and modern slavery? Because the leadership cares more about contracts than building a future for its people. Without industries, vocational training programs, or real economic empowerment initiatives, the youth are left with no options but to fend for themselves however they can.

Until Akwa Ibom leaders wake up and prioritize the welfare of their citizens, this cycle of poverty, exploitation, and disgrace will continue. The people must demand better—because the alternative is an entire generation lost to suffering and servitude.

Shame!

A man has taken to social media to express his frustration after suspected Fulani herdsmen allegedly destroyed his 20-acre cassava farm in Ijebu Igbo, Ogun State.

He shared his ordeal, saying:

"I arrived at the farm yesterday only to witness the devastation caused by roaming Fulani herdsmen on our 20-acre cassava plantation. Despite investing heavily in chain-link fencing around the perimeter, these intruders still managed to break in overnight, causing massive destruction. Now, I truly understand why the farmer-herdsmen conflict persists in this country."

He further explained that they had just finished harvesting corn from the farm, leaving only the cassava plants to mature. Unfortunately, the herdsmen allegedly invaded the farm overnight and destroyed everything.

I need to know if there's any hope of studying abroad with a second class lower qualifications. My parents intend to send me abroad to further my studies but I'm worried now because of my qualification. They don't know yet and I still don't know how to inform them.

I just want to know if there's any hope

A statement from Pretoria came after Trump, on Sunday, threatened to cut future funding to South Africa over alleged land confiscation and the mistreatment of "certain classes of people."

"South Africa is confiscating land and treating certain classes of people VERY BADLY. It is a bad situation that the Radical Left Media doesn’t even want to mention. A massive Human Rights VIOLATION, at a minimum, is happening for all to see," he said on his Truth Social platform.

Trump’s outburst came after South African President Cyril Ramaphosa signed the Expropriation Bill into law last month, replacing the pre-democratic Expropriation Act of 1975. The new legislation outlines the process by which state entities can expropriate land in the public interest for various purposes.

Trump stated that the U.S. would halt all funding to the country until a thorough investigation into the matter was completed.

However, Ramaphosa emphasized that South Africa is a "constitutional democracy deeply rooted in the rule of law, justice, and equality."

He clarified that the only funding South Africa receives from the U.S. is for HIV/AIDS prevention.
“There is no other funding that South Africa receives from the United States.”

On Monday, while speaking, the South African president said:

"This issue that Trump fears so much—we offered this portion of the land. I don't know what Donald Trump wants to do with South African land because he has never been here. He should keep his America, and we will keep our South Africa. South Africa is our land; it belongs to all the people who live here, not to Donald Trump. He can keep his America.

He is even worse. When I meet him, I will tell him: Donald Trump, you are even worse because your forefathers came to America, found the indigenous Americans, wiped them out, and killed nearly all of them. Now, as black and white South Africans, we are going to find solutions to our land issues. Donald Trump must leave us alone. He must stay out of our affairs because when we were facing apartheid and oppression, he was not here. He didn't fight side by side with us. Yet, on our own—yes, with the support of progressive forces around the world—we were able to resolve all apartheid-related issues.

Donald Trump was nowhere near the negotiating table, so he should sit in his White House while we mind our business here.

We will find solutions to our problems, so stay out of our issues. We will not interfere in America’s problems, so leave us alone!"

A shocking video of a woman brazenly vandalizing her husband’s car while defiantly asserting her authority as his wife has gone viral, sparking heated reactions online.

What led to her outburst is not immediately known, but in the now-trending clip, the enraged wife can be seen smashing the vehicle while her husband watches helplessly. As observers express disbelief, she boldly declares, “I am your wife, and I am the one destroying it.” Her unapologetic stance has since ignited intense debates across social media.

While some netizens have called for her immediate arrest, others advised the husband to take legal and traditional action. “No need to stress yourself. After the video, invite her people to see the damage, let them pay for it, then carry their useless daughter to their house. File for divorce and move on with your life. Simple,” one comment read.

Another user expressed concern over the growing trend of aggressive behavior among women in Nigeria, stating, “One thing that shocked me in Nigeria was that the women are more aggressive than the men. I've seen this same thing happen in Ghana as well, but the rate at which women overpower men in Nigeria is overwhelming. I really thought Naija men were hardcore until I met the women.”

A fake lawyer who has been impersonating a dead man, to dupe unsuspecting land buyers in Udu Local Government Area of Delta State was nabbed, after his atrocities were revealed. He has been conniving with land agents to commit crime. He claimed to have attended Ambrose Ali University, Ekpoma in Edo State, but when he was asked questions about the school, he couldn't say anything meaningful. He also couldn't say anything about the law school he attended. Neither could he identify his lecturers and schoolmates. He was beaten blue black before he was handed over to the police.
