Court orders INEC to deregister ADC, Accord, three others

  Court orders INEC to deregister ADC, Accord, three others The Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to deregister the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and four other political parties. The other political parties the court directed the electoral body to deregister are the Action Peoples Party (APP), Action Alliance (AA), Accord Party (AP), and Zenith Labour Party (ZLP). The court order followed a judgment delivered by Justice Peter Lifu. The National Forum of Former Legislators had, in the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/2637/2026, prayed the court to determine whether INEC has a constitutional obligation to remove political parties that fail to meet the electoral performance thresholds set out in Section 225A of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), as reinforced by the Electoral Act 2022 and INEC’s regulations.

Son of Nigerian Immigrants Saves Trump's World Cup - The Irony Is Brutal

Son of Nigerian Immigrants Saves  Trump's  World Cup - The Irony Is Brutal Folarin Balogun scored two goals for the USA in the World Cup opener against Paraguay and he is the son of Nigerian usimmigrants. Trump, who spent months banning immigrants and denying visas to African fans did not attend the match. He sent Marco Rubio instead. Six USMNT players were born abroad. The same government celebrating this victory has strip-searched African teams at airports, deported Somalia's best referee, and blocked tens of thousands of fans from Muslim and African nations. This is the full story of the most contradictory night in American sports history.

A Bleeding Democracy, A Rising Hope by Sen. Wale Kuku

A Bleeding Democracy, A Rising Hope by Sen. Wale Kuku  As we commemorate Democracy Day, we reflect on Nigeria's democratic journey, one marked by resilience, sacrifice, progress, and challenges. While our democracy has endured and matured, it continues to bear the scars of poor governance, economic hardship, and unrealized aspirations. Yet, despite its wounds, democracy remains our surest path to national development and collective prosperity. As a student of the ideals of Chief Obafemi Awolowo, whose vision of people-centred governance continues to inspire me, I firmly believe that democracy must ultimately be measured by the welfare of the people. Elections alone do not define democratic success; the true dividends of democracy are found in quality education, economic opportunities, security, social justice, and improved living standards. As a nation, we must break the cycle of disjointed growth and embrace a shared vision for sustainable development. Leaders and citizens alike m...
