President Lula Endorses Heritage Voyage of Return, Celebrates Shared Ties with Nigeria

Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has endorsed the Heritage Voyage of Return (HVR) Project during a historic meeting with Nobel Laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka and Nigeria’s delegation in Brasília. The initiative aims to strengthen cultural and historical ties between Brazil, Nigeria, and Africa through art, heritage, and diplomacy.

At the meeting, President Bola Tinubu, represented by CBN Governor Yemi Cardoso, highlighted Nigeria’s commitment to deepening cultural diplomacy with Brazil. Cardoso emphasized the enduring presence of Afro-Brazilian communities in Lagos and the potential of shared heritage to drive tourism, education, and the creative economy.

President Lula, visibly moved, pledged Brazil’s full support for the project, describing it as a bridge of unity. He commended Soyinka’s enduring legacy at 91, noting the mutual respect demonstrated when President Tinubu humbly offered his seat to the Nigerian icon.

To crown the visit, President Lula, Prof. Soyinka, President Tinubu, and CBN Governor Cardoso were honored with awards by the President of Brazil’s Education and Culture Commission, Gabriel Pereira da Cruz. The awards, he said, symbolize a renewed commitment to transforming shared history into global partnerships for the future.

Tinubu Backs State Police as Insecurity Worsens

President Bola Tinubu has said the creation of state police is inevitable as part of renewed efforts to tackle insecurity across Nigeria.

Speaking at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, during a courtesy visit by Katsina State Governor Dikko Radda and a delegation of prominent indigenes, Tinubu directed security agencies to reassess their operations in the state following a surge in banditry.

He disclosed that advanced military equipment, drones, and surveillance technology would be deployed, alongside enhanced training for newly recruited forest guards.

“I am reviewing all aspects of security. I have to create state police; we are looking at that holistically,” Tinubu said, stressing that insecurity is surmountable with determination and strategy.

The president also instructed that he be given daily security updates from Katsina and paid tribute to former President Muhammadu Buhari, pledging to preserve his legacy.

Resident Doctor Dies After 72-Hour Shift, Sparks Outrage

The medical community is mourning the death of Dr. Oluwafemi Rotifa, a resident doctor at Rivers State University Teaching Hospital, who reportedly collapsed and died after a 72-hour call duty.

Fondly called Femoski, Rotifa had worked three straight days in the Emergency Room before slumping in the call room. Efforts to revive him in the ICU failed.

President of the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors, Dr. Tope Osundara, described the incident as preventable, blaming manpower shortages and burnout. He warned that without urgent reforms in welfare, staffing, and work schedules, more doctors and patients would continue to suffer.

The Nigerian Medical Association also condemned the tragedy as “heartbreaking and unacceptable,” calling for immediate government action to address worsening conditions in the health sector.

Jonathan Fires Back at Keyamo, Odinkalu Over 2027 Bid as Wike, Atiku Weigh In

The 2027 presidential race is already stirring tension as former President Goodluck Jonathan clashed with critics over his rumored return bid. Jonathan, through his brother Robert Azibaola, berated Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, SAN, and law professor Chidi Odinkalu for warning the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against granting him the presidential ticket, insisting it is none of their business. He maintained that Jonathan remains qualified to run despite being sworn in twice.

On the same day, FCT Minister Nyesom Wike dismissed Jonathan’s prospects, claiming he is being misled to contest. Wike further warned that fielding former Anambra governor, Peter Obi, would spell doom for the PDP. He also rejected ex-Kaduna governor Nasir El-Rufai’s prediction that President Bola Tinubu would finish third in 2027, calling it mathematically baseless.

Meanwhile, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar stressed that Nigerians, not the ruling APC or opposition PDP, will ultimately decide the outcome of the 2027 polls.

GoUni walks away from ANUDC 2025 with a medal in hand and a proud place among the Top 10 Speakers nationwide.

At the just concluded 12th edition of the All Nigerian Universities Debate Championship (ANUDC), hosted by the University of Ilorin from August 24th to 30th, Godfrey Okoye University stood out in a tournament regarded as the largest and most competitive intellectual event in the country.

With over 64 universities and more than 200 speakers in attendance, the championship brought together the best of Nigeria’s debating and public speaking talents. Despite being relatively new to the world of British Parliamentary (BP) debating and public speaking, GoUni’s representatives showed resilience, intelligence, and grit, going head-to-head with universities that have been part of the circuit since its inception.

Our achievements at ANUDC 2025:

The GoUni Quiz Team — Azubuike Mary Nkenna, Deborah Febechukwu Ogbonna, and Obialor Agape Love held their ground through several tough rounds and proudly finished in 5th place nationally.

The GoUni Debate Team of Ogbonna Donald Ugochukwu and Onyia Freda delivered a brilliant run and broke into the quarter-finals, competing strongly against some of the finest debaters in the country.

Favour Egbogu delivered a remarkable performance in the Public Speaking category, breaking into the finals and earning a medal as one of the Top 10 Speakers of the entire tournament.

Our Novice Adjudicator, Rev. Sister Vivian Onwuka also broke through and gained recognition in the adjudication category, a major accomplishment for a first-time judge on such a grand stage.

This outing has placed Godfrey Okoye University firmly among the nation’s rising intellectual powerhouses. Competing against the biggest names in Nigerian debating and still making it to the advanced rounds is proof of the growing strength and promise of our debate, quiz, and public speaking teams.

This is only the beginning. GoUni is here to stay, and the future looks even brighter.

Imo Lecturers Now Earn More Than Federal Varsity Professors, But Lawmakers’ Jumbo Pay Still Overshadows

Governor Hope Uzodimma has raised the minimum wage in Imo State to ₦104,000, making professors in state-owned universities the highest paid in the country with ₦812,000 monthly, compared to ₦633,333 for their federal counterparts.

However, public outrage continues as lawmakers’ jumbo pay, officially pegged at ₦1m but speculated to reach ₦21m monthly, still dwarfs lecturers’ salaries.

Isaac Fayose Alleges Deji Adeyanju Plans to Join APC, Using Attacks on Obi to Gain Relevance

Isaac Fayose, younger brother to former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, has accused activist Deji Adeyanju of plotting to join the All Progressives Congress (APC) while hiding behind constant attacks on former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi.

Fayose, in a viral social media video, said Adeyanju should openly admit his support for President Bola Tinubu instead of “using Obi to score cheap points.” He likened Adeyanju’s tactics to those of former presidential aide Reno Omokri, who, according to him, gained attention from the Tinubu government by criticizing Obi.

“Mr Adeyanju, if you’re going to APC, go freely. Stop using Obi to gain relevance. Leave that man alone , what has he done to you?” Fayose said.

Lagos APC Dismisses Speculations on Jonathan’s 2027 Return

The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has reacted to speculations that former President Goodluck Jonathan may contest the 2027 presidential election.

In a statement on Friday, APC spokesperson Seye Oladejo said Jonathan’s political relevance to unseat President Bola Tinubu was doubtful. He argued that Nigeria had moved beyond “politics of sentiment and nostalgia,” insisting the country now requires “bold and forward-thinking leadership, not a return to a past that was far from perfect.”

Oladejo further accused Jonathan’s administration of leaving behind corruption, insecurity, and economic stagnation, while noting that his potential candidacy also raises constitutional and political complications.
