WHAT THE COURT CAN'T DO
Nigeria's Supreme Court split 3-2 to void the PDP's Ibadan convention and upheld David Mark's ADC leadership on 30 April, handing both opposition parties their structures back ahead of 2027.
The Bank of England voted 8-1 to hold rates at 3.75% on 30 April, while Nigeria's inflation rose to 15.38% in March, squeezing diaspora Nigerians on both sides.
Goodluck Jonathan told a London court he personally approved Diezani's private jet use and that third-party ministerial payments were standard practice, as the jury began deliberating its verdict.
Nigeria's headline inflation rose to 15.38% in March, its first increase in a year, with a pot of jollof rice costing N30,435 and 43% of the monthly minimum wage.
Courts restored opposition leadership, the Bank of England held rates squeezing diaspora Nigerians in two countries, and Davido played Coachella twice in the week ending 1 May.
Davido performed at Coachella's Gobi Stage on both 2026 weekends as the only Nigerian officially billed, while Justin Bieber brought Wizkid and Tems onstage unannounced for an Essence remix.
