  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 Folarin Balogun scored two goals for the USA in the World Cup opener against Paraguay and he is the son of Nigerian usimmigrants.

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.

While our democracy has endured and matured, it continues to bear the scars of poor governance, economic hardship, and unrealized aspirations.
