Kwarans, something we need to talk about.

For a long time, everyone blamed high dollar rates and expensive fuel for why bread, garri, transport, and everything else kept rising.

The dollar is now N1340, down from around N1600–N1700. Petrol is now N835, down from N1000. So why is it so hard for the prices of things to come down once they go up in this country?

Fresh Trouble for El-Rufai as DSS Moves to Arraign Him Feb 25

Fresh twist in the El-Rufai matter.

Former Kaduna governor Nasir El-Rufai will be arraigned in court on Wednesday, February 25, according to the Department of State Services (DSS).

He is expected to appear before the Federal High Court in Abuja.
Reports say the DSS filed a three-count charge against him, including alleged cybercrime and national security breaches, linked to claims that he intercepted a phone conversation involving the National Security Adviser.

This comes after he earlier spent time with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and was later held by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) over separate investigations.

Court proceedings start next week.

We’ll keep you posted as it unfolds.

DEVELOPING NOW: Operation Savannah Shield has commenced at Sobi Barracks in Ilorin, bringing an unprecedented joint military presence to Kwara State.

Approved by President Bola Tinubu after recent security breaches around Kaiama and nearby communities, the operation deploys all arms of the Nigerian Armed Forces in a coordinated offensive against terrorist cells and kidnapping gangs.

Notably, the flag-off drew the Chief of Defence Staff, Chief of Army Staff, and other top military commanders, a rare high-level presence that underscores the scale and seriousness of the mission.

Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq was also on ground and delivered brief remarks.

For many observers, the direct involvement of the nation’s top security leadership signals one thing: Kwara is now firmly on the federal security radar, with stronger coordination, faster response, and sustained operations expected across vulnerable areas.

New Electoral Act 2026: What It Means for the Next Election

Nigeria now has a new election law signed by President Tinubu, setting how the 2027 elections will run.

Here’s the gist in simple terms:

Electronic transmission of results:
Results from polling units can now be sent electronically to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) portal (IReV).
This is meant to boost transparency. But if there’s no network, the physical result slips (EC8A) will still be used and later uploaded once possible.

How parties choose candidates:
Political parties will use direct primaries or consensus to pick their candidates. The old “indirect” delegate system has been removed, which could give regular party members more voice.

Election day process:
On polling day, voters still vote with ballot papers and accreditation machines.
After counting at each polling unit, results are signed by officials and party agents, then sent online to INEC’s results portal — if network allows — or later uploaded once there’s signal.
That means results get out faster and are accessible to the public in more places than before.

Some groups argue the law doesn’t go far enough on mandatory real-time transmission, while others say it’s a step forward for transparency.

Whether you’re voting or just watching, this new law will shape how results are counted and shared in the next election.

EFCC today, ICPC tomorrow. El-Rufai now in custody

Things just got serious for former Kaduna governor Nasir El-Rufai.

After spending time with the EFCC earlier, the ICPC has now taken him into custody.

According to the anti-corruption agency, he was picked up Wednesday night as investigations continue.

Remember, the Kaduna Assembly had earlier accused him of mismanaging over N423 billion while in office.

For now, ICPC hasn’t shared full details.

We’re watching the story closely.

No Lassa fever case at NYSC camp, says govt

The Kwara State Government has cleared the air over rumours of a Lassa fever death at the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) orientation camp.

According to the state’s Rapid Response Team, there is no confirmed case of Lassa fever at the camp.

The team carried out an immediate investigation and checked both corps members and camp officials. No sign of the disease was found.

Officials explained that the corps member mentioned in the viral post was actually battling a pre existing health condition and not Lassa fever.

Even though the risk is low, health authorities say they have increased monitoring at the camp, strengthened clinic checks, and educated corps members on prevention and early reporting of any symptoms.

They also advised residents to ignore unverified social media rumours and rely on updates from official sources.

Bottom line, no Lassa fever outbreak in Kwara State. Stay calm and stay informed.

Different paths, same message.
Self control. Sacrifice. Drawing closer to God.

From the mosques at Sahur to the early morning church services, Kwara State wakes up today in worship.

A beautiful reminder of the unity and diversity that makes us who we are.

Peaceful season to everyone observing 🤍

The soulful paaapuun from the trumpet and the gentle rhythm of the bandiri rise into the cool dawn air, sweet and familiar, rooted deeply in our heritage.

It is a sound every home in Ilorin understands, a call that carries faith, culture, and tradition in one breath.
It quietly announces the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan, inviting hearts to reflection, prayer, and devotion.

Ramadan Kareem.
