What informs the frequent trips by Nigeria’s Fourth Republic vice president, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, to the Ota residence of his former principal, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo? To make sense of such volleys one has to move back into history to connect it with the present.

For, come 2027, whether he likes it or not – no matter what he does – signs are clear that unless…

The 36-year-old has been a core part of the Gers team this season, playing more games this campaign than he did in the last, but all that wasn’t enough to earn a spot in Eric Chelle’s 23-man squad list ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. Nonetheless, he put in a decent shift against Fenerbahce last night as his side went through via a penalty shoot-out. He’s now dared to dream of a…

Gilbert Ekugbe Hundreds of HIV doctors and researchers have called on the Trump administration to reverse its sweeping aid funding cuts, saying they are “doing catastrophic harm” to the global fight against AIDS.
