BBNaija Removes Keivo From Voting After House Fight

/

Big Brother Naija has removed housemate Victor Ikpe, popularly known as Keivo, from the ongoing voting poll for the “Show Ya Sef” season. A check of the official voting platform on Tuesday showed that his name was no longer listed among the housemates eligible for votes. The development followed a physical altercation between Keivo and fellow housemate Tram during the final week of the reality show. The clash reportedly started over a black shirt which Tram claimed belonged to him. During the argument, Keivo threw the first punch before Big Brother intervened and ordered the housemates to freeze. The organisers later announced that Biggie would address the housemates, prompting speculation about possible disciplinary action against Keivo. However, the organisers had not officially stated the reason for his removal from the voting poll at the time of the report. The incident has generated mixed reactions from viewers, with some criticising Keivo for resorting to violence, while others called for Tram to also face consequences. The “Show Ya Sef” season is scheduled to end on October 4, with the remaining finalists including Aikou, Barry, Bluethopia, Flora, Keivo, Oyin, Ricky, Sheba, Temi Nkem and Tram.

Super Eagles Suffer Heavy Defeat in Guinea-Bissau

/

Nigeria’s hopes of qualifying for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations have suffered a setback after the Super Eagles lost 3–0 to Guinea-Bissau in their second Group L qualifier. Franculino opened the scoring for Guinea-Bissau after 15 minutes, before Mama Baldé doubled the lead in the second half. Álvaro Djaló then completed the victory in stoppage time. Nigeria had started the qualifying campaign with a 2–1 comeback win over Madagascar, but could not repeat that result against Guinea-Bissau. Guinea-Bissau now have six points from two matches, while Nigeria face increased pressure in Group L. Tanzania, as one of the co-hosts, already have an automatic place at the 2027 tournament. Meanwhile, Ghana also suffered defeat, losing 4–2 to The Gambia after surrendering a two-goal lead.

Investors Place N6.1tn Bets on CBN Treasury Bills

/

Investors submitted bids worth ₦6.1tn for Open Market Operation bills offered by the Central Bank of Nigeria, as demand remained strong at the latest auction. The CBN had offered OMO bills valued at ₦1tn across 68-day, 152-day and 180-day instruments, but subscriptions exceeded the amount available by more than six times. The apex bank eventually allotted ₦2.3tn to successful bidders. No allocation was made on the 68-day instrument, while the 152-day and 180-day bills recorded stop rates of 17.29 per cent and 16.99 per cent respectively. The strong demand comes after the CBN recently reduced its benchmark interest rate from 26.5 per cent to 23 per cent. Analysts say investors may be seeking to lock in relatively attractive yields before market rates decline further. The OMO sale also helped to absorb liquidity from the banking system, while about ₦2.43tn in OMO maturities and another ₦164bn in bond coupon payments are expected to enter the financial system this week.

Senate Gives 2025 Capital Budget Three-Month Extension

/

The Nigerian Senate has approved an extension of the implementation of the capital component of the 2025 budget from September 30 to December 31, 2026. The extension followed the passage of a bill sponsored by Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele, allowing Ministries, Departments and Agencies to complete ongoing projects and utilise appropriated funds. Bamidele said the move was necessary because the implementation of capital projects had not reached optimal levels, despite the release of funds to government agencies. This is the third extension of the 2025 capital budget. The National Assembly had earlier moved the deadline from March 31 to June 30, and later to September 30. The latest extension means funds allocated for the 2025 capital budget will remain available until December 31, subject to President Bola Tinubu’s assent. The decision comes despite the Federal Government’s earlier pledge to end overlapping budget cycles and operate within a single revenue cycle.

Oil prices climb after Trump rejects Iran’s proposed truce

/

Oil prices have risen after United States President Donald Trump rejected an Iranian proposal for a seven-day truce, raising concerns about inflation and disruptions to global energy supplies. Iran had proposed a temporary halt in hostilities at the United Nations General Assembly, with plans to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a major route for global oil shipments. Trump rejected the proposal but said negotiations with Iran could resume, while Tehran maintained that sanctions must be lifted and frozen assets released before the strait can be reopened. Following the development, Brent crude rose by more than three per cent to above 107 dollars a barrel, while US crude also gained more than two per cent. The renewed rise in oil prices affected global markets, with several Asian stock markets recording losses on Monday. Investors are also watching upcoming United States inflation and employment data, which could influence the Federal Reserve’s next interest-rate decision.

Resident doctors give government two weeks to resolve welfare issues

/

The National Association of Resident Doctors has given the Federal Government a two-week ultimatum to address outstanding welfare and professional issues affecting its members. The association issued the ultimatum at its 46th Annual General Meeting in Calabar, warning that failure to resolve the issues could lead to industrial action. Resident doctors are demanding action on remuneration, career progression, professional allowances, excessive workload and manpower shortages. They also called for improved hospital infrastructure, adequate medical equipment and better working conditions to improve healthcare delivery. NARD expressed concern over the migration of doctors and other health professionals from Nigeria, saying it has worsened staff shortages and increased the workload on doctors remaining in the country. The association also called for stronger measures to protect health workers from attacks in hospitals and urged the government to address unpaid salaries and entitlements owed to house officers. NARD is asking the Federal Government to use the two-week window to resolve the outstanding issues and avert a breakdown of industrial harmony in the health sector.

Nigeria seeks another $1.5bn from World Bank as debt climbs

/

The Federal Government is in talks with the World Bank to secure three new loans worth a combined 1.5 billion dollars. The proposed facilities include 500 million dollars each for climate resilience, social protection and early childhood development. The development comes as Nigeria’s total public debt rises to 166.79 trillion naira as of June 2026, up by 14.39 trillion naira in one year. The largest immediate proposal is an additional 500 million dollars for the ACReSAL project, which focuses on tackling land degradation, erosion, flooding and water insecurity across 19 northern states and the FCT. Another 500 million dollars is planned for the HOPE-Social Protection programme to support cash transfers and strengthen Nigeria’s social protection system. The third facility will support early childhood development nationwide, covering healthcare, nutrition, early learning, childcare, water and sanitation for children aged zero to five. The World Bank currently holds about 20.73 billion dollars of Nigeria’s external debt, making up roughly 38 per cent of the country’s 54.52 billion-dollar external debt stock.
