Senate rewrites electoral transparency by erasing it
The law now says electronic transmission is mandatory. The same law also says manual results override it when networks fail. Both can't be true. One of them is a lie waiting to happen in 2027. Tuesday's "compromise" created a loophole wide enough to drive an entire election through.
Washington sends 200 troops to train Nigerian forces. Training for what, exactly?
The US is deploying 200 additional soldiers for "training, not combat." But when foreign troops arrive during an escalating insurgency, that distinction gets blurry fast. Defence Headquarters insists sovereignty is respected. The vague language about what these troops will actually do suggests otherwise.
Nigerian soldiers kill 16 ISWAP fighters, rescue 11 in Borno
Troops pursued fleeing terrorists after repelling a midnight attack on Forward Operating Base Auno, neutralizing 16 militants and recovering weapons, bicycles, and logistics supplies. Two more victims were rescued along Buratai-Kamuya road, nine others on Chibok-Damboa axis. The usual pattern: attack, response, rescues, then the cycle continues.
CBN reopens dollar sales to BDCs. Same operators who failed before, different rules this time.
Bureau de Change operators can now buy $150,000 weekly from official channels with 24 hours to sell any unused dollars back. The rule makes sense. Enforcement is where these policies always collapse. The parallel market rate will tell us if this time is different.
Electricity workers threaten nationwide strike over wages. Again.
Power sector unions issued a 21-day strike notice over unpaid wages, missing pension remittances, and job insecurity. The same complaints they've filed for 12 years since privatization. The government's response: be realistic about wage demands. Nobody's being realistic about fixing the broken system that makes those wages unaffordable.
