The Sevilla Commitment: A Global Wake-Up Call—And What It Means for Nigeria

At the 4th International Conference for Finance and Development in Sevilla, Spain, world leaders and policymakers gathered to confront a painful truth: global development is faltering. With poverty and inequality growing, and with just five years left to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the United Nations has unveiled a bold roadmap, the Sevilla Commitment, to change course.

A Wake-Up Call from the UN

UN Secretary-General António Guterres delivered a stirring appeal urging wealthier nations not to “shut the door of finance” on developing economies. He painted a picture of a world beset by economic slowdown, climate chaos, and weakening cooperation. “We are here in Sevilla to change course,” he declared. “Lives are at stake.”

The Urgent Cry for Education Reform in Omudioga

No Teachers, No Chairs, No Future? The Urgent Cry for Education Reform in Omudioga

In the quiet town of Omudioga, nestled within the lush landscapes of Rivers State, Nigeria, the echoes of chalk on blackboards have grown faint. Instead, voices of frustration and despair rise from classrooms, if they can be called that, where students sit on bare floors, surrounded by crumbling walls and hope that is wearing thin.

This is the reality presented in the recent community report “No Teachers, No Chairs, We Need Development”, a video exposé that sheds light on the collapse of educational infrastructure in Omudioga. But this is more than a local crisis, it is a national call to action.

The Yelwata Protest and the Broken Promises

Nigeria’s Forgotten Millions: The Yelwata Protest and the Broken Promises to IDPs

🛑 "We are starving. We are sick. We are forgotten." These were the unspoken cries that echoed through the streets of Makurdi on June 19, 2025, as Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) from Yelwata in Benue State blocked major roads, desperate to be seen and heard. Their protest was not just a plea—it was an indictment of a system that has systematically failed Nigeria’s most vulnerable citizens.

🏚️ Life at the Margins

Yelwata’s IDPs aren’t asking for miracles, just the bare minimum to survive. Yet, their camps tell a harrowing story: no mattresses, no medical care, not even mosquito nets to ward off sickness. Children sleep on concrete floors, pregnant women endure without healthcare, and food has become a luxury, not a right.

Solving Nigeria's Food Crisis with Action

Beyond Fasting: Solving Nigeria's Food Crisis with Action, Not Prayer

According to the article by Punch with the title "Nigeria Hunger Crisis: Fasting Won't Solve Food Shortage" Nigeria, by contrast, boasts fertile land, abundant rainfall, and a youthful population, yet struggles to feed itself. Here is the summary of the story:

• Controversial Fasting Directive: Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Agriculture initially urged staff to fast and pray for three days in response to growing food insecurity. Public backlash led to the cancellation of the directive.
• Criticism of Spiritual Approach: The editorial criticized the reliance on spiritual measures rather than science-based, practical interventions. It called the move irrational given the scale of the hunger crisis.
• Food Insecurity Crisis:
• Over 25 million Nigerians faced severe food shortages in 2024.
• Prices of key staples like rice, garri, beans, and yam have risen over 300%.
• Malnutrition and preventable diseases are surging, especially among children.
• Root Causes Identified:
• Insecurity in major agricultural states (e.g., Benue, Kaduna, Zamfara) has displaced thousands of farmers.
• Poor infrastructure leads to massive post-harvest losses (up to $9 billion/year).
• Mismanagement of fertilizer subsidies and lack of storage solutions compound the problem.

Nigeria’s Drug Abuse Crisis

The Global Drug Abuse Crisis: A Converging Storm of Instability, Inequality, and Mental Health

In recent years, drug abuse has escalated from a localized concern to a full-blown global crisis. With an estimated 316 million people using drugs worldwide in 2023, 6% of the global population—this epidemic touches every continent, community, and class. From Nigeria’s urban centers to Latin America's trafficking routes and Asia's synthetic drug labs, the map of substance abuse is expanding, and evolving.

This article explores the key trends, driving forces, regional variations, and the urgent need for coordinated action at all levels.

A Widening Global Problem

Global drug use has surged by more than 30% over the past decade, according to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime. Cannabis remains the most used drug, but sharp increases are seen in opioids, amphetamines, cocaine, and synthetic substances like fentanyl and methamphetamine.

The Birthright Battle: How the U.S. Supreme Court Reshaped a Constitutional Cornerstone

The Gavel Falls: A Pivotal Supreme Court Ruling

In June 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down a decision that could redefine how presidential powers are contested in court. At the center of the storm? Birthright citizenship, a right enshrined in the Fourteenth Amendment for over 150 years.

In a 6-3 decision, the Court ruled that lower federal courts overstepped their bounds when issuing nationwide injunctions to block President Trump’s efforts to restrict birthright citizenship. The ruling was more than a procedural footnote, it was a tectonic shift in the balance of power between the judiciary and the executive branch.

Unearned Academic Titles

The Global Struggle for Integrity: Misuse of Academic Titles and the Case for Reform

In a world increasingly shaped by knowledge and expertise, academic titles like "Doctor" and "Professor" are more than honorary labels, they signal years of scholarly rigor and personal sacrifice. Yet, in many parts of the world, especially in Nigeria, these titles have become tools for social prestige rather than reflections of academic merit. This erosion of meaning has sparked cultural conflicts, undermined trust in education, and even disrupted international collaborations. It’s time for a closer look at how societies treat academic titles—and what can be done to restore their value.

Protect Diaspora Nigerians

Protecting Nigerians Abroad: A Call to Action for Government and Citizens Alike

The plight of Nigerians living abroad has become an increasingly alarming concern. From senseless killings to bureaucratic neglect, the Nigerian diaspora faces threats not only from hostile host communities but also from their own government’s inaction. These challenges demand an urgent and unified response.

A Pattern of Tragedy and Neglect

Recent incidents have spotlighted the vulnerability of Nigerians across the globe. Destiny, an 18-year-old musician, was murdered in Ghana over a business dispute. In South Africa, xenophobic attacks have claimed over 200 lives—including prominent figures like Elizabeth Ndubuisi-Chukwu. In Canada, a mentally distressed Nigerian teenager, Afolabi Opaso, was shot by police. In the Philippines and Burkina Faso, victims were brutally murdered or shot without justice.

Tinubu Considers Establishment of Ranches in Abuja

His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nigeria's President

Rethinking Ranching in Nigeria: Opportunities, Innovations, and Global Lessons

President Bola Tinubu’s recent push for ranching in Abuja’s Kwali Area Council marks a pivotal moment in Nigeria’s agricultural development. As the country grapples with food insecurity, land conflicts, and rapid rural-urban migration, establishing sustainable ranches offers a path toward inclusive economic growth and environmental stability. But how can Nigeria shape a ranching model that’s both effective and locally relevant? The answer may lie in blending homegrown strategies with global insights.

The Case for Ranching in Rural Nigeria

At the commissioning of a new 15-kilometre road linking A2 Junction to Pai town in Kwali, President Tinubu emphasized the need to uplift rural livelihoods through infrastructure and agricultural investment. His call for ranching aims to turn long-standing conflicts between farmers and herders into shared prosperity. Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike reinforced the vision by pledging land and compensation for genuine farmers, warning against land speculation by so-called “political farmers.”

Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, Nigeria's National Security Adviser

Hunger, Hope, and National Security: Nigeria’s Agricultural Revolution and the Global Fight Against Food Insecurity

In a bold and urgent shift, Nigeria is treating hunger and poverty not just as humanitarian concerns but as national security threats. At the 14th National Security Seminar in Abuja, top officials like National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu and Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Christopher Musa issued a stark warning: these twin crises are fueling insecurity, crime, and social disintegration across the country.

The seminar’s theme, “Combating Hunger and Poverty for Sustainable Peace and Development in Nigeria,” captured the essence of a growing movement—one that sees agriculture, economic empowerment, and social inclusion as weapons against instability.

Nigeria’s First Lady Distributes Food Items to 250 Vulnerable Persons in Enugu

On June 16, 2025, the atmosphere in Enugu State brimmed with gratitude and relief as 250 vulnerable individuals—including widows and persons with disabilities—received food items through a humanitarian outreach led by Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu.

More than just a food drive, the event was a reaffirmation of the federal government’s commitment to human-centered development, especially at a time when many Nigerians are facing harsh economic realities.

The Hidden Cost of Forbidden Proximity: The Dangers of Sleeping with Domestic Helps

In many households across the country, domestic helps serve as vital contributors to home management and childcare. Yet, beneath the surface of routine household duties lies a growing and often unspoken concern: the increasingly reported trend of inappropriate relationships between male employers and female domestic workers. Chukwuneta Oby’s exposé, “The Danger of Sleeping with Domestic Helps,” sheds an unflinching light on the emotional, physical, and social damage that these entanglements cause, often with irreversible consequences.

Here is a quick summary of the story: “The piece highlights the serious emotional, psychological, and physical risks that arise when male employers engage in sexual relationships with their domestic helps. Drawing from real-life anecdotes, it shows how these affairs often spiral into destructive situations, fuelled by secrecy, resentment, and emotional instability.

Dangote Launches Nationwide Fuel Distribution Given Tanker Blockade

Fueling Change: Dangote Refinery’s Bold Move Amid Lagos Tanker Tensions

In a sweeping move that could reshape Nigeria’s energy logistics, the Dangote Petroleum Refinery has announced the launch of a nationwide distribution of petrol and diesel, starting August 15. With a fleet of 4,000 CNG-powered tankers, the initiative promises to ease fuel access across the country, just as Lagos grapples with protests over a controversial new truck regulation.

At the heart of the tension is the Lagos State Government’s E-Call Up system, which mandates a ₦12,500 per truck fee for access to loading points in the bustling Lekki-Epe corridor. Authorities argue that this system is essential to managing traffic congestion and maintaining order, especially in an area seeing rising commercial activity thanks to major investments like the Dangote Refinery and Lekki Deep Sea Port.

REVIEWSNETWORK@PUNCH.NG | Corruption: Speedy Trials Needed, Not Rhetoric

Nigeria’s Battle Against Corruption: Time for Swift Justice, Not Empty Promises

Despite two decades of institutional reforms and vocal political pledges, Nigeria continues to grapple with a pervasive culture of impunity when it comes to corruption. While anti-graft agencies like the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) are firmly in place, the machinery of justice often sputters—slowed by inefficiency, legal loopholes, and, too often, political interference.

A Judiciary in Paralysis

The Nigerian judiciary, once heralded as the last hope of the common man, is now criticized as a key obstacle in the war against corruption. The Punch editorial titled "Corruption: Speedy Trials Needed, Not Rhetoric" laments the use of delaying tactics in court: frivolous injunctions, endless adjournments, and premature prosecutions. The result is justice denied, often indefinitely. “The article criticizes Nigeria’s persistent failure to effectively prosecute corruption cases despite the existence of federal and state-level anti-corruption agencies like the ICPC and EFCC. It highlights the disconnect between rhetoric and reality in the fight against graft, with court delays, frivolous legal tactics, and executive interference stalling progress. The judicial system is portrayed as a bottleneck, where endless adjournments and weak prosecutorial practices have resulted in high-profile cases dragging on for years, sometimes over a decade, undermining public trust. It spotlights several notorious examples, such as these ones.

After Yelwata, Can Nigeria End the Killings in Its Food Basket?

Nigeria's President, His Excellency Bola Tinubu

Seemingly Endless Harvest of Conflict: Understanding the Crisis in Benue State, Nigeria

“More than 100 people were reportedly killed in Yelwata, Benue State, allegedly by suspected Fulani militias, sparking widespread protests. In response, President Bola Tinubu ordered security agencies to act decisively to halt the violence and arrest all perpetrators. He also urged Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia to lead reconciliation efforts among farmers, herders, and communities involved in the ongoing resource-based conflict. President Tinubu condemned the killings as “inhuman and anti-progress” and cautioned political and community leaders against making inflammatory statements. Meanwhile, Pope Leo XIV offered prayers for the victims, especially those sheltered by a local Catholic mission, calling for peace and justice in Nigeria”

The recent massacre of over 100 people in Yelwata, Benue State, once again casts a grim spotlight on Nigeria’s deep-seated communal tensions. The attackers widely believed to be Fulani militias, according to media reports struck under the cover of night, leaving destruction in their wake and reigniting a conflict that has persisted for decades. In response, as already established in this report, President Bola Tinubu has condemned the bloodshed as “inhuman and anti-progress,” ordering security agencies to act decisively while urging Governor Hyacinth Alia to lead a reconciliation process. But many are asking “how did Benue get to this state of wanton devastation of human life and property?

Brief  Overview

The communal clashes in Benue State according to media reports have deep historical roots, shaped by a complex mix of ethnic, religious, and environmental factors that have evolved over centuries.

1. Colonial and Pre-Colonial Tensions

The region now known as Benue was historically inhabited by ethnic groups like the Tiv, Idoma, and others who resisted the expansion of the Fulani-led Sokoto Caliphate during the 19th-century jihadist campaigns. These early confrontations laid the groundwork for enduring mistrust between the predominantly Christian farming communities and the Muslim Fulani herders.

Gombe’s Agro-Livestock Industrial Zone: A New Dawn for Nigeria’s Livestock Economy

Gombe State Receives N60bn Support From FG for Agro-Livestock Industrial Zone

Gombe State has taken a bold step toward transforming Nigeria’s agricultural future with the establishment of a 184-hectare Agro-Livestock Industrial Zone.

Bridging the Gap: Why Nigeria Must Invest in Voluntary Blood Donation

BEACON Tasks Nigerians on Blood Donation To Bridge Supply Gap

Every day in Nigeria, countless lives hang in the balance—lives that could be saved by something as simple and selfless as a pint of donated blood. Yet the country faces a staggering shortfall: though an estimated 1.8 to 2.2 million units of blood are needed annually, fewer than 500,000 units are collected, leaving over 1.3 million Nigerians without access to life-saving transfusions.

This critical gap came into sharp focus during this year’s World Blood Donor Day, as the Beacon of Transformative and Inclusive Development Centre (BEACON) issued a clarion call to action. “The cost of doing nothing is unbearable,” said BEACON Executive Director Abigail Olatunde. “Mothers, children with sickle cell, and accident victims are dying because blood is not available.”

My husband rejected my offer of a second wife despite 24 years of childlessness – Mother of twins

From 24 Years of Silence to a Chorus of Joy: The Inspiring Journey of Pastor Funmilola Abraham

For Pastor Funmilola Abraham, the road to motherhood was paved with heartache, unwavering faith, and a refusal to give up—even when hope wore thin. A Regional Overseer at the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries, her testimony has touched lives across Nigeria and beyond, after she miraculously gave birth to twins in March 2025 at the age of 57—after 24 years of childlessness.

A Long Walk Through Disappointment

Pastor Funmilola got married in March 2001, and soon after, began experiencing fertility challenges. She underwent fibroid surgery in 2002 and was assured everything looked fine. But years passed, and conception remained elusive. She endured numerous procedures—at least ten flushing treatments—and in 2019, she turned to IVF. The first attempt brought joy: she became pregnant with triplets. But tragedy struck five months later when doctors found fatal heart complications in the unborn babies. They were lost in a painful medical evacuation.
