Seun: I've been coding alone with the assistance of AI since the beginning of the year. Opus 4.5 is my go to model. Last year I was all-in on Cursor but Opus is too expensive on Cursor. Now I use Opus on Claude Code and Antigravity. When it's finished, I try Gemini 3 Pro or GPT-5.2 High.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) government has made a major policy move that is currently sending shockwaves through the international education sector.
As of the 2026 academic year, the UAE has officially suspended government scholarships for its citizens planning to study in the United Kingdom. This is a massive shift, as the UK has historically been the top destination for Emirati students.
Why is this happening? According to a detailed report by Media Talk Africa, the decision isn't just about money; it’s deeply rooted in a diplomatic and security rift:
The "Muslim Brotherhood" Controversy: There are ongoing tensions between Abu Dhabi and London over the UK's refusal to ban the Muslim Brotherhood, which the UAE designates as a terrorist group.
Concerns Over Radicalisation: UAE officials have expressed worries that certain UK university environments could expose their students to extremist ideologies.
New "Elite 50" Policy: The UAE is shifting its focus toward a new global education strategy, prioritising top-tier tech hubs in the US, Europe, and Asia over traditional UK institutions.
The Impact: This move is expected to cost the UK higher education sector millions of pounds in lost revenue. Furthermore, the UAE has warned that degrees from non-approved UK schools may no longer be recognised for government jobs back home.
Analysts predict that several British institutions may have to aggressively pivot to recruitment in India and Nigeria to fill the void left by the Emirati departure.
Please help, money is at stake here and their promo deadline is fast approaching, they are currently on my neck to give them a feedback about the company's reputation before investing.
My cousin sent me an advert where they stated that they (Phoenix Global Travel Service Agency) are doing promo for travelling to Netherlands. I went online to check the organisation, there is no CAC number in their website, only 2 Google reviews, all from last week, no comments from their customers on their social media, their address is Jabi Abuja, no official email, it is just a generic Gmail address.
The promo is looking too good, they said the job is supply chain and warehouse workers with a salary of €2500/month, sponsorship for GVVA, MVV Visa, Travel insurance, Background checks and accommodation support.
The initial deposit is 2m, after GVVA, you pay 2.650m

webincomeplus: And after the remark, how many still passed? Abeg, let's face the real problem. Even last year when there was no glitch on JAMB's part, the pass rate was abysmal as well.
For the record, after the remark, the result there was improvement.
Regarding the 2027 political landscape, there's a sentiment that the South should complete their 2 terms and then hand over power to the North.
However, some in the South-East region believe one term is insufficient to implement meaningful changes, sparking debate about the ideal tenure for impactful governance, I believe one tenure, just like His Excellency Peter Obi want, will not effect the needed changes.
Nigerian Afrobeats star Burna Boy has responded to the backlash which followed his proposal to hold a free concert in Burkina Faso.
The response came after critics mocked the initiative and claimed he was allegedly rejected by the President of Burkina Faso.
The Grammy-winning artist in an Instagram Story defended his intentions and criticized those questioning his motives.
According to him, his actions are guided by principle, not personal gain.
Burna Boy said he was shocked by the surprisingly negative and offensive comments from some individuals.
“I have nothing to gain from anybody. I don’t owe anyone anything, but that never stopped me from doing the great work I do. My integrity is unquestionable. Therefore burn in hell if you said anything negative,” Burna Boy wrote.
The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has grounded a Rano Air aircraft with registration number 5N-BZY following an in-flight engine failure during a flight from Kano to Sokoto.
In a statement released on Monday, the NCAA confirmed that the flight made an emergency air return after the crew reported the incident to the Air Traffic Control.
Passengers and crew were thrown into panic after smoke was observed in both the cabin and the flight deck mid-air.
According to the Directorate of Airworthiness, led by Victor Foyea, oxygen masks were deployed and standard safety procedures were immediately activated to facilitate a safe landing.
“The Rano aircraft 5N-BZY experienced a failure on its engine 1. Smoke was noticed in the cabin and flight deck. Oxygen masks were donned. The appropriate safety protocols were initiated on the ground for landing. Smoke dissipated. The pilot safely landed the aircraft without incident,” the NCAA stated.
The regulatory authority confirmed that no immediate casualties or injuries were recorded, and the aircraft landed safely at the Kano airport where emergency services had been placed on standby.
As a precautionary measure, the NCAA ordered the grounding of the aircraft pending a thorough investigation into the cause of the malfunction.
The aircraft was also scheduled to operate a Sokoto-bound flight, which has since been cancelled.
As of the time of reporting, the aircraft remains grounded, with engineers working on diagnostics and repairs.
The NCAA reiterated its commitment to passenger safety and emphasized that precautionary measures, including flight cancellations, are necessary whenever there is a hint of mechanical irregularity.
“Even more advanced countries experience air incidents. But in Nigeria, flights are grounded or cancelled at the slightest indication of safety concerns. Safety remains our top priority,” the statement added.
The National Opposition Coalition Group, has formally applied to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for the registration of a new political party, the All Democratic Alliance, ADA.
The opposition coalition is led by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and ex-Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai.
The coalition’s application dated June 19, was acknowledged by INEC on Friday.
This indicates the intentions of the coalition to float a new platform.
The formation of ADA, backed by some other key political heavyweights, including former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi and Umar Ardo, convener of the League of Northern Democrats and former aide to President Olusegun Obasanjo, seeks to capitalise on mounting public dissatisfaction and political realignments to stop President Bola Tinubu at the next poll.
The application comes just a few days after INEC warned political groups that no amount of pressure or public sentiment would override the need for strict compliance with constitutional and electoral guidelines.
The application letter was jointly signed by the association’s Protem National Chairman, Chief Akin A. Rickets, and Protem National Secretary, Abdullahi Elayo.
The letter partly read, “We respectfully write to the Independent National Electoral Commission, requesting the registration of our association, the All Democratic Alliance, as a political party.
“This is a sequel to the decision taken by the Nigerian National Coalition Group to sponsor our association for full registration.
“The name of the party shall be All Democratic Alliance with ADA as our acronym and ‘Justice for All’ as our slogan.”
The coalition also submitted relevant documents, including the party’s constitution, manifesto, logo, and minutes of its foundational meetings.
The party’s symbol prominently features a maize (corn), which the applicants say represents abundance, resilience, and sustenance, core ideals they hope to promote.
“We have further attached our manifesto encompassing details of our party ideology and our constitution providing the legal framework that defines our identity, structures, and organisation,” the letter continued.
