Dangote Cement has commenced full operations in Côte d’Ivoire with the official opening of its new cement plant in Attingué, about 30 km from Abidjan.

The Managing Director of Dangote Cement Côte d’Ivoire, Serge Gbotta, described the project as “a symbol of confidence in the future of Côte d’Ivoire.”

Built on 50 hectares, the Attingué plant has an annual production capacity of 3 million tonnes. The investment is estimated at 100 billion CFA francs.

The facility is expected to generate more than 1,000 direct and indirect jobs, benefiting youth and small businesses in logistics, construction, and supply services.

“Our ambition is clear: to offer Ivorians internationally-standard cement, produced locally, at a competitive price,” Gbotta said.

To serve all regions, the company plans expansive distribution networks, credit support for smaller retailers, and community development initiatives such as roads, water supply, and health-care support.

Côte d’Ivoire becomes the 11th African country to host a Dangote Cement production facility.

In 1957, Grace Atinuke Oyelude made history as the first-ever Miss Nigeria.

She did not audition on a big stage, just a photo submitted to Daily Times, and the rest was history.
But what makes her story remarkable isn’t just that she won — it’s what she did after.

She became a trained nurse and midwife in the UK, played a vital role in Nigerian healthcare, and dedicated years to public service.

She showed that beauty can open a door — but purpose is what keeps you standing.

Kinshasa, September 30, 2025 — A military court in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo) has sentenced former President Joseph Kabila to death in absentia after finding him guilty of treason, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.

The verdict, delivered in Kinshasa on Monday, marks a historic and controversial moment in the nation’s political history. Kabila, who ruled the country from 2001 to 2019, was accused of collaborating with the M23 rebel group, which has been active in the country’s eastern provinces. The court also found him guilty of crimes including murder, torture, r**e, and conspiracy against the state.

Kabila, who has lived outside the country since 2023, did not attend the proceedings and had no legal representation during the trial. His senatorial immunity—granted to all former heads of state—was lifted earlier this year, clearing the way for legal action.

Prosecutors alleged that Kabila provided financial and logistical support to the M23 movement, which has been accused of destabilising the eastern regions of North Kivu and South Kivu. The group’s activities have long been a source of tension between DR Congo and neighbouring Rwanda.

Kabila has rejected all accusations, describing the trial as politically motivated. His political allies also condemned the ruling, calling it a “judicial persecution” aimed at silencing opposition voices.

Analysts and human rights observers have expressed concern about the fairness and transparency of the process, noting that trials in absentia often raise questions about due process. International organisations have not yet formally responded to the verdict, but some diplomats warn that the ruling could intensify political divisions and unsettle an already fragile security situation in the east.

Although the death sentence was handed down, it remains unclear how or if it will be enforced, as Kabila’s current location is unknown. The ruling may still face review by the Court of Cassation.

You’ve taken the quiz, now let’s see how many you got right 👀✨

The country with the most pyramids? Not Egypt — it’s actually Sudan, with over 200!

Ethiopia, long before the name we know today, was called Abyssinia in historical texts.

And that vibrant Shweshwe fabric you see in Southern Africa? It’s deeply tied to South Africa, especially the Sotho people.

Africa never runs out of wonders to uncover 🌍💎

Rwanda Becomes the First African Nation to Host the UCI Road World Championships

Rwanda made history from 21–28 September 2025 as the first African country to host the UCI Road World Championships, cycling’s most prestigious annual road-racing event. The week-long competition, staged in the hilly capital of Kigali, drew riders from over 50 nations and showcased Africa on the global cycling map.

The routes, widely described as some of the most demanding in championship history, featured steep climbs such as Mont Kigali and the cobbled Mur de Kigali, with the elite men covering 267.5 km and 5,475 metres of climbing.

Slovenia’s Tadej Pogačar defended his men’s elite road race crown after a solo attack, while Canada’s Magdeleine Vallières Mill stunned the field to claim the women’s elite road race title — the first for her country.

Beyond the results, the event was hailed as a landmark moment for African cycling, leaving Rwanda with new sporting infrastructure and marking a milestone in the UCI’s goal of globalising the sport. The next edition will take place in Montréal, Canada, in 2026.

✅ It is true — Africa is the only continent that stretches across all four hemispheres. The Equator cuts it into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, while the Prime Meridian splits it into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. This rare positioning gives Africa diverse climates and makes it a vital global crossroads.
