, son of Chief Razaq Okoya, has shared a vlog showcasing how his family marked this year’s Eid al-Adura (Ileya) celebration, where the Okoya family and Eleganza Group reportedly hosted and fed over 3,000 people.

The video captures a large scale gathering at the Okoya residence, with guests being accommodated, served food, and gifted items as part of the festive celebration.

At a time when many Nigerians are facing rising food prices and economic pressure, the gesture has been widely praised as an example of family-led generosity and meaningful social responsibility.

Beyond the celebration, it has sparked broader conversations about the role of wealthy individuals and corporate families in supporting their communities, especially during festive periods when needs are often higher.

While such acts may not solve the wider economic challenges, they continue to highlight the importance of compassion, shared humanity, and intentional giving.

Commendations to the Okoya family and the Eleganza Group for the gesture.

Meta is no longer just “free social media”

Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp are now introducing paid subscription plans, marking a major shift in how we access the world’s biggest digital platforms.

Under the new rollout, users will pay monthly fees for “Plus” features across apps — from enhanced personalization and story tools to deeper engagement insights and messaging upgrades.

While Meta insists the platforms will remain free, this move signals something bigger: a gradual shift toward a paid layer of the internet, where access, visibility, and digital experience may increasingly come at a cost.

For billions of users, especially in emerging markets, this raises a pressing question:
Is digital access still truly free?

₦4,000 PER LITRE: KEROSENE PRICES RISE INTO NEW TERRITORY AS HOUSEHOLDS FEEL THE PRESSURE

Kerosene, once one of the most affordable household fuels in Nigeria, is now approaching ₦4,000 per litre in parts of the country.

According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), prices now range between ₦3,700 and ₦3,965 per litre in states including Lagos, Sokoto, and Kebbi a steep and sustained increase in household energy costs.

For millions of Nigerians, this is not just about numbers. Kerosene remains a primary source of cooking and lighting for low income households, especially in areas where alternatives are either unavailable or unaffordable.

But the reality is becoming more difficult: what was once a basic necessity is now increasingly out of reach.

The surge is being driven by a mix of inflationary pressure, foreign exchange challenges, supply chain constraints, and broader energy market shifts. But the outcome is the same rising pressure on already stretched households.

Even more concerning is that kerosene is not rising alone. LPG (cooking gas), diesel, and other household energy sources are also increasing, creating what many now describe as a multi fuel affordability crisis.

At this point, the question is no longer just about fuel prices, it is about how households are expected to cope when every option becomes expensive at the same time.

₦4,000 per litre is not just a price.

It is a warning.

Shot five times while on duty. He survived the attack… but today, he is said to be fighting for something far more critical survival.

A Nigerian police officer, who once stood on the frontline protecting lives, is now reportedly bedridden after sustaining life-threatening injuries during an armed confrontation.

What should have been a moment of national gratitude has now become a painful reflection of a recurring question — when those who protect us fall in the line of duty, how well does the system protect them?

Across Nigeria, security personnel continue to face rising risks in service. Yet stories like this keep bringing attention back to the same issues: welfare, emergency response, and long-term care for wounded officers beyond the immediate aftermath.

Because this is not just one story. It is the reality of many who step into danger daily… and what becomes of them when the uniform can no longer protect them.

China’s latest solar innovation is pushing the boundaries of global clean energy.

But beyond the progress lies a bigger question for the world: is sustainability governance evolving fast enough to match the speed of innovation?

As solar technology scales rapidly, China continues to shape global renewable energy supply chains. While this signals major progress for the energy transition, it also raises important concerns around transparency, manufacturing impact, and lifecycle accountability.

The challenge is no longer just about producing more clean energy. It is about ensuring that the systems behind it remain responsible, ethical, and truly sustainable.

Innovation is moving fast. Governance is still catching up.

And in the middle of it all, the future of energy is being defined.

What do you think, should sustainability rules evolve as fast as technology?

Nigeria’s textile industry is quietly making a return.

There’s growing attention on the Cotton, Textile and Garment (CTG) value chain as efforts continue to rebuild a sector that once played a major role in jobs, local manufacturing, and economic activity across the country.

What makes this push important is not just production, but the bigger picture—connecting cotton farmers, textile producers, and garment makers in a way that strengthens the entire value chain.

If successful, this revival could reduce reliance on imports while also opening up more opportunities for local production, enterprise growth, and employment.

For young people especially, this space holds real potential. From agriculture to manufacturing and fashion, the value chain is wide enough to create opportunities for skills, innovation, and long-term careers.
