Dollar Strengthens As Naira Slides To ₦1,375 In Official Market

The Nigerian currency came under renewed pressure on Friday as the naira weakened against the United States dollar, trading at about ₦1,375 in the official foreign exchange market. Market data indicated that demand for the dollar continued to outweigh supply, contributing to the latest depreciation in the value of the naira. The movement reflects ongoing volatility in Nigeria’s foreign exchange market, where traders and investors continue to respond to shifts in dollar inflows, import demand, and broader macroeconomic pressures. Analysts say the naira’s recent slide is also influenced by persistent demand from importers, businesses, and individuals seeking foreign currency for transactions and savings. The development comes despite ongoing monetary and fiscal policy adjustments aimed at stabilising the exchange rate and improving liquidity in the foreign exchange market. Economic observers note that fluctuations in the official market often mirror broader pressures in the parallel market, where rates tend to react more quickly to demand and supply dynamics. Financial experts have continued to call for sustained policy reforms, increased foreign investment inflows, and improved export earnings to support long-term stability of the naira. For now, market participants are expected to closely watch central bank interventions and global dollar trends as Nigeria’s currency continues to face pressure.

Ilebaye’s Mother Breaks Silence on Family Dispute, Denies Drug and Cosmetic Surgery Allegations

Ms Lami Calista has publicly defended her daughter, Ilebaye Odiniya, following a series of allegations made by the reality star’s father, Emmanuel Odiniya. The controversy erupted after a viral voice recording surfaced online in which Mr Odiniya accused Ilebaye of failing to financially support him despite reportedly receiving ₦120 million after winning the 2023 edition of Big Brother Naija All Stars. He also alleged that the reality TV star was reckless with money and made claims involving her younger brother and alleged drug use. Reacting during a chat with Linda Ikeji’s Blog, Ms Lami strongly denied the accusations and insisted that her daughter had spent millions supporting her father, particularly during his medical trips to India. According to her, Ilebaye initially gave her father ₦7 million for treatment in India in 2023 and later sent another ₦5 million during a subsequent trip. She added that when he reportedly complained the amount was insufficient, the BBNaija star allegedly transferred an additional ₦3 million, aside from regular monthly support. She also revealed that Ilebaye currently handles the school fees of her younger brothers, describing the expenses as substantial. Ms Lami questioned why her daughter was being pressured to surrender all her earnings, arguing that the reality star had already done enough for the family. She further claimed that tension within the family escalated after Ilebaye allegedly refused to hand over all her prize money and declined a request to give her father ₦50 million. Addressing allegations that the reality star introduced her younger brother to drugs, Ms Lami dismissed the claim as false and damaging. According to her, the incident involved the teenager finding an empty shisha pen in Ilebaye’s room and taking it to school out of curiosity. She explained that school authorities later investigated the issue, warned the boy, and resolved the matter without expulsion. She maintained that no drugs were involved and criticised attempts to tarnish her daughter’s reputation. Ms Lami also denied reports that Ilebaye secretly underwent cosmetic surgery, insisting there had been no physical transformation to support such claims. She accused her former partner of attempting to damage the reality star’s public image after Ilebaye emotionally appealed for help during a recent live video session online. Speaking on the emotional toll the accusations have had on her daughter, Ms Lami said the drug allegations deeply affected the BBNaija winner because of the stigma attached to such claims. While admitting that Ilebaye may be stubborn at times, she insisted her daughter does not use drugs and generally avoids controversy and social media attention because of fear of public criticism. The family dispute has since sparked widespread reactions online, with social media users divided over the ongoing accusations and counterclaims involving the reality TV personality and her parents.

Women Now Outnumber Men In Higher Education Globally – UNESCO

Women have officially surpassed men in global higher education enrollment, according to new data released by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The report shows a steady rise in female participation in universities and tertiary institutions across many regions, marking a major shift in global education trends over the past decades. UNESCO noted that the growth reflects improved access to education for girls and women, alongside long-term efforts by governments and international organisations to close gender gaps in schooling. However, the agency also highlighted that while more women are now entering higher education, disparities still exist in certain fields, particularly in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), where men continue to dominate in many countries. The report further observed that economic barriers, cultural norms, and unequal access to resources still limit opportunities for some women, especially in low-income regions. Education experts say the trend represents a significant milestone for global development, as higher education attainment is closely linked to improved employment opportunities, income levels, and social mobility. UNESCO urged countries to not only sustain progress in female enrollment but also focus on ensuring equal outcomes in employment and leadership positions after graduation. The organisation emphasized that closing remaining gender gaps in education quality and career opportunities remains essential for achieving global equality and sustainable development goals.

WHO Chief Says “Work Not Over” After Hantavirus Evacuation Efforts Continue

The Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) has said that despite major progress in containing a hantavirus outbreak linked to a cruise ship evacuation, response efforts are still ongoing and “the work is not over.” The statement comes as international health authorities continue coordinated evacuation and monitoring operations following the outbreak, which has affected passengers from multiple countries and led to several fatalities. According to WHO updates, the outbreak linked to a cruise vessel carrying more than 140 passengers and crew  has recorded multiple confirmed and suspected cases, including deaths, prompting a large-scale multinational medical response. WHO officials explained that while evacuation of most passengers has been completed, remaining crew members are still being monitored, and ongoing testing, quarantine procedures, and contact tracing remain in place to prevent further spread. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus emphasized that although the situation is being managed and the global risk remains low, continuous vigilance is necessary due to the severity of the virus in confirmed cases and the complexity of tracking exposure across multiple countries. Health authorities have also reiterated that hantavirus is primarily transmitted through contact with infected rodents, and only limited human-to-human transmission has been observed in rare strains involved in the current outbreak. The WHO said it is working closely with national health agencies to ensure all exposed individuals are properly monitored while medical evacuations and laboratory investigations continue. Officials maintain that while the outbreak is under control, full containment will require sustained international cooperation in the days ahead.

Trump To Undergo Medical And Dental Exams On May 26

Former United States President Donald Trump is scheduled to undergo routine medical and dental examinations on May 26, according to information shared from his official circle. The check-ups are part of his regular health evaluation process, which typically includes comprehensive medical assessments to monitor overall wellbeing. Details surrounding the examinations were not fully disclosed, but sources indicate they are standard procedures expected for someone of his age and public profile. Trump, who remains an influential figure in American politics, has previously undergone periodic medical evaluations that have attracted public and media attention due to his continued political ambitions. The upcoming examinations come at a time of heightened political activity in the United States, as discussions continue around future elections and party positioning. While no specific health concerns have been publicly reported, the scheduled check-ups are seen as part of ongoing efforts to maintain transparency regarding his fitness. Further updates are expected after the examinations are completed.

Iran Chief Negotiator Says US Must Accept Proposal or Risk “Failure” As Talks Intensify

A senior Iranian negotiator has issued a firm warning to the United States, insisting that Washington must accept Tehran’s latest proposal or face diplomatic failure, as tensions remain high over ongoing negotiations. The statement was made by Iran’s top negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who emphasized that the current proposal represents what Iran considers a final and workable framework for resolving outstanding disputes. According to him, any delay or rejection from the United States would amount to a breakdown in the process, as Iran believes it has already presented sufficient conditions for a possible agreement. Ghalibaf maintained that Tehran’s position is rooted in protecting national interests and ensuring that past grievances and sanctions-related issues are adequately addressed in any deal. He also reiterated Iran’s long-standing claim that trust between both sides remains fragile, stressing that negotiations must be based on mutual respect rather than pressure or unilateral demands. The remarks come amid renewed diplomatic exchanges between Iran and United States, where both countries have continued to disagree on key issues including sanctions relief, security guarantees, and regional stability. While Iran insists its proposal is balanced and realistic, the United States is still reviewing the terms as discussions continue behind closed doors. Analysts say the latest warning signals a critical moment in the talks, with both sides facing increasing pressure to either compromise or risk another diplomatic deadlock. For now, the future of the negotiations remains uncertain, with expectations hinging on whether Washington will respond positively to Tehran’s demands or allow the standoff to continue.

Ukraine Resume Attacks After Truce Expires, Civilian Reportedly Killed

Fresh fighting has resumed between Russia and Ukraine following the expiration of a temporary ceasefire, with reports indicating that at least one person has been killed in the renewed attacks. According to the local authorities and international reports, both sides launched strikes shortly after the truce ended, reigniting tensions in areas that had briefly experienced reduced hostilities. Explosions and air raid alerts were reported in multiple regions, as military operations intensified once again after the short-lived pause in fighting. Officials said the renewed strikes damaged residential buildings and infrastructure, while emergency responders were deployed to affected locations to assess casualties and destruction. The latest escalation ongoing highlights the fragile nature of ceasefire agreements in the prolonged conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which has continued to claim lives and displace thousands of civilians. Both countries have repeatedly accused each other of violating previous truce arrangements, making diplomatic efforts toward a long-term peace deal increasingly difficult. The resumed attacks have also renewed concerns among global leaders and humanitarian organisations over the worsening humanitarian situation and the growing impact of the conflict on civilians. International observers continue to call for restraint, dialogue and renewed diplomatic engagement to prevent further escalation in the region.
