It’s signed, and Eddie Hearn said “Supposedly, Tyson Fury signed and now Turki Alalshikh’s just got to get AJ signed and they’ve got the fight.

Two of his close friends and team members, strength coach Sina Ghami and trainer Latif “Latz” Ayodele died in the crash. Joshua suffered minor injuries and was discharged from Lagoon Hospital after two nights.

On April 26, 2026 in Effurun, Delta State a 28 year old musician Mene Ogidi also known as OG Millan was brutally killed by a police officer. This has sparked national outrage over the last 48 hours.

Ogidi was allegedly caught by transport union members at Benin Motor Park, Warri-Sapele Expressway while trying to waybill a parcel containing a Beretta pistol with 4 rounds of ammunition, Police operatives from the Effurun Area Command were called to take him into custody. The team was led by ASP Nuhu Usman.

A viral video shows Ogidi already handcuffed with his hands tied behind his back*, sitting on the ground and pleading for his life in Pidgin: “Officers, abeg, I go tell you everything. Na my friend deceives me, I go carry you go the place.”

Despite that, ASP Usman is seen cocking his rifle and shooting him at close range. Ogidi collapsed immediately and was later carried into a police Toyota Sienna.

The Delta State Police Command has called it an extrajudicial killing and a clear violation of Force Order 237 and standard operating procedures.

ASP Nuhu Usman has been arrested, queried, and transferred to Force Headquarters in Abuja for the Force Disciplinary Committee and possible prosecution.

Protesters stormed the Warri Area Command yesterday, demanding justice and calling it a cold-blooded ex*****on.- Ogidi’s mother broke down during a condolence visit, saying this is the second son she’s lost to police brutality her first son was also killed by police in 2022.

Police say Ogidi was apprehended with a firearm, but the video showing him restrained and pleading before being shot has raised serious questions about use of lethal force. Activists like Harrison Gwamnishu allege he may have been set up.

The IGP has promised justice and said the officer will face murder charges.

It’s another painful reminder of the tension between policing and public trust in Delta State, especially after the movements .

14 years old Adeolu Oluwadamilola Oreofe Nigeria’s new spelling queen just made the country proud in Harare, Zimbabwe.

Adeolu outspelled contestants from over 20 African countries to clinch the continental crown. She impressed judges with her composure, precision, and calm under pressure qualities that set her apart in a tough field.

The prize
- $5,000 educational scholarship
- Ticket to represent Africa at the World Spelling Bee in China later this year

This wasn’t an overnight win. It’s been years of near-misses that built her up:
2023: 2nd place at MTN Spelling Bee
2024: 2nd place at Ekiti State Spelling Bee
2025: 5th at African Spelling Bee + 2nd at Nigeria Spelling Bee in Port Harcourt
2026: 1st place at African Spelling Bee.

Her story is basically one of gradual growth over instant success. Each setback sharpened her craft until she finally reached the top.
President Tinubu personally congratulated her on Thursday, calling it proof of sustained investment in education, literacy and youth development. He also praised her resilience for not letting earlier disappointments stop her.

Adeolu’s win is being celebrated as a symbol of young Nigerian talent on the global stage. For a country still reeling from the Super Eagles’ World Cup heartbreak, this feels like a bright spot, showing excellence doesn’t always come from football.

She’s now a role model for millions of Nigerian students aiming for academic excellence..

Benin Artefacts

it’s one of the biggest repatriation stories in Nigeria this year, Cambridge University officially transferred legal ownership of 116 Benin artefacts from its Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (MAA) to Nigeria’s National Commission for Museums and Monuments (NCMM) on Feb 9, 2026

These are the famous *Benin Bronzes* — mostly brass plaques, ivory and wooden sculptures looted by British forces when they sacked Benin City in February 1897 during the Punitive Expedition. Most of the 116 objects will be shipped back to Nigeria in due course the director says within months. However, 16 to 17 pieces will remain in Cambridge on loan for 3 years, on display for teaching/research.

NCMM will manage them under a 5-year agreement with Oba Ewuare II of Benin,
Follows NCMM’s formal request in Jan 2022. Cambridge’s Council backed it, UK Charity Commission approved NCMM Director-General Olugbile Holloway called it a turning point.
The return of cultural items for us is not just the return of the physical object, but also the restoration of the pride and dignity that was lost when these objects were taken in the first place.

MAA Director Prof. Nicholas Thomas said it reflects growing global consensus that artefacts taken through colonial violence should go home.

Jesus College, Cambridge returned a Benin bronze cockerel in 2021
- Germany returned 1,100+ in 2022, Netherlands returned 119 in 2025, Smithsonian 29, Horniman Museum 72
- Digital Benin database lists 5,000+ artefacts across 131 institutions in 20 countries
- *British Museum*: Still refusing full restitution — prefers long-term loans
The NCMM oversees 53 museums + 65 national monuments in Nigeria. Plans for a royal museum in Benin City to house returned bronzes appear to have stalled, but NCMM says _we look forward to welcoming the artefacts back home soon.

This Cambridge return 128 years after the 1897 looting is big win for Nigeria’s cultural heritage push.

When it builds up, your productivity, health, and mood all take a hit. You can’t always change your job, but you can change how you handle the pressure.

Here are 5 tactics that fit into a busy workday:

1. Do a 2-Minute Desk Reset
Before your next meeting or after a tough call, try this: Close your eyes, breathe in for 4 counts, hold 4, out for 6. Repeat 3 times. It lowers your heart rate and clears mental fog. Nobody even needs to know you’re doing it.

2. Use "Work Sprints" + Microbreaks
Your brain isn’t built for 8 hours straight. Take a 5-minute to 10-minute break after every 50 minutes of focused work. Stand up, stretch, walk to get water, look out the window. You’ll come back sharper and less irritable.

3. Set Boundaries Around Work Inputs
Constant emails, WhatsApp groups, and “urgent” requests spike stress. Try: Turn off non-essential notifications from 9–12 and 2–5. Check messages in batches instead of reacting to every ping. If you can, avoid work chats after closing hours.

4. Break Big Tasks Into “Next Step” Tasks
“Finish the report” feels overwhelming. “Draft the intro paragraph” feels doable. When stress comes from workload, list the _very next_ action for each task. Ticking off small wins reduces anxiety and builds momentum.

5. Don’t Carry It Home Alone
Vent for 5 minutes to a trusted colleague at lunch, or write down what’s bugging you before you leave the office. Leaving it in your head means you take it home. If work stress is constant, speak to HR, a supervisor, or a counsellor — burnout isn’t a badge of honour.

The bottom line
Managing work stress isn’t about working less. It’s about recovering better during the day.

𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻’𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲: 𝗔 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗲

March 2026 witnessed a vibrant and impactful series of events marking this year’s International Women’s Day (IWD). While the official day, March 8, served as a focal point, celebrations extended throughout the month, with organizations, communities, and institutions around the world hosting activities that amplified women’s voices, achievements, and opportunities.
Conferences and Workshops Driving Empowerment
Across continents, conferences and workshops played a central role in equipping women with knowledge and tools for growth. In Lagos, the “S.H.E. Codes AI 2026: Girls Embracing AI” event brought together young women to explore opportunities in artificial intelligence, reinforcing the importance of digital inclusion.
Similarly, educational experiences such as the “International Women’s Day: History Tour” in London provided participants with a deeper understanding of the historical milestones of women’s rights movements, bridging past struggles with present progress.
Awareness Walks Promoting Unity and Visibility
Solidarity was strongly expressed through coordinated awareness walks and physical activities. Events like “Walk Her Power IWD 2026” in Plymouth and the globally coordinated “Together We Ride” cycling initiative united participants in a shared message of strength, resilience, and collective advocacy for gender equality.
These walks not only raised awareness but also fostered community engagement and visibility for women’s issues.
Cultural Celebrations Honouring Women’s Contributions
Art and culture remained powerful storytelling tools throughout the celebrations. In Chicago, the “Bellissima Opera & Songs 5th Annual IWD Event” showcased musical excellence while celebrating women’s artistic contributions.
Meanwhile, London’s “Her-Story: International Women’s Day Concert” blended music and narrative to highlight the journeys, struggles, and triumphs of women across generations.
Panel Discussions Addressing Real Challenges
Thought-provoking conversations were at the heart of many events. Panels such as “In Conversation with… IWD 2026” in Coimbatore and the “Women in Hospitality” forum in London brought together industry leaders and advocates to discuss workplace inclusion, leadership gaps, and systemic challenges facing women today.
These discussions created spaces not just for dialogue, but for actionable insights and policy-driven thinking.
Charity and Health-Focused Initiatives
Health and well-being also took center stage. In Abuja, the “Give to Gain: Free Breast & Cervical Cancer Screening” initiative provided essential medical services to women, emphasizing preventive healthcare.
Likewise, “WOMANATHON – 3km Walk” in Bangalore combined fitness with fundraising, supporting causes that directly impact women’s welfare.

𝗜𝗪𝗗 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮
Nigeria stood out with a wide range of impactful events throughout March. Financial institutions, NGOs, and community groups actively contributed to the celebrations.
Leading the charge, Wema Bank hosted its 2026 International Women’s Day Grand Event on March 4, focusing on gender inclusion and economic empowerment for women in business and leadership.
In Lagos, initiatives such as “The Body Confidence Workshop 3.0: Her Mind Power” and “Walk For Her Power – International Women’s Day 2026 Activation” encouraged self-worth, mental resilience, and public advocacy.
Cultural expression was also evident through events like the Enatta Foundation Boat Regatta, which celebrated women in artisanal fishing communities, spotlighting often overlooked contributors to local economies.
Additionally, high-level engagements like the “Africa Women in Banking and Finance Conference and Awards” provided a platform to recognize excellence, foster networking, and discuss financial inclusion strategies for women across the continent.

𝗔 𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵
Although International Women’s Day is marked annually, the momentum generated throughout March 2026 demonstrates that the movement for gender equality continues far beyond a single day.
From technology and finance to arts, health, and community development, this year’s celebrations reinforced a powerful message: empowering women is not just an event, it is an ongoing commitment that requires sustained action, collaboration, and innovation.

She Rides Shotgun drops you right into a high‑octane father‑daughter road thriller.
Fresh out of prison, Nate (Taron Egerton) grabs his shy 11‑year‑old daughter Polly (Ana Sophia Heger) and goes on the run. A violent white‑supremacist gang, _A***n Steel_, has put a hit on his family, so the pair must survive while Nate teaches Polly how to fight and Polly shows him what unconditional love really looks like. The chase leads them through motels, desert highways, and a showdown at the gang‑run Slabtown trailer park.
- After a brutal showdown where Nate finally takes down the gang leader, both he and Polly are wounded. Polly frees him, but as they try to escape, the police gun them down together.
