Multiple explosions and fires broke out aboard a Singapore-flagged cargo ship en route to Mumbai on Monday, forcing several crew members to leap into the Arabian Sea and causing 40 containers to fall overboard, officials confirmed.
The vessel, WAN HAI 503, encountered the emergency approximately 144 kilometers (90 miles) off the coast of Kerala, according to Shekhar Kuriakose, Secretary of the state’s Disaster Management Authority.
“Preliminary reports indicate that there were 22 crew members on board. Eighteen of them jumped into the sea and are currently aboard rescue boats. Efforts are ongoing to bring them to safety,” Kuriakose said, noting that while the situation remains critical, the ship is not currently sinking.
Dramatic images and footage released by the Indian Coast Guard on X (formerly Twitter) showed dense black smoke billowing from the ship, with several containers visibly damaged and scattered near the source of the blaze.
“The vessel is currently on fire and adrift,” stated a public relations officer from the Ministry of Defence on X.
Authorities have yet to disclose the type of cargo the ship was carrying or the cause of the explosions.
This incident comes just weeks after another container vessel sank off the coast of Kerala, spilling around 100 containers into the Arabian Sea. However, the Directorate General of Shipping reported on Friday that no oil pollution was detected in that earlier event.
The catastrophic floods that struck Mokwa, Niger State, on May 29, 2025, have claimed at least 230 lives, with over 500 people still missing, according to the Niger State Emergency Management Agency (NSEMA). Described as the worst flooding in the region in 60 years, the disaster has displaced over 3,000 residents, destroyed over 260 homes, and washed away critical infrastructure, including the Mokwa Bridge, a vital link between Nigeria’s north and southwest.
Triggered by intense pre-dawn rainfall, the floods overwhelmed Mokwa’s inadequate drainage systems, flattening neighborhoods like Tiffin Maza and Anguwan Hausawa.
NSEMA reports 121 injured and heightened risks of disease outbreaks due to unrecovered bodies swept into the Niger River. Local resident Adamu Yusuf recounted , “I watched helplessly as water washed away my family,” losing his wife and newborn.
Recent updates highlight dire conditions in relief camps, with displaced residents decrying insufficient aid, including a lack of clean water, toilets, and adequate food beyond bread and soft drinks.
One resident, who lost 14 family members, lamented, “I have no one now.”
The Niger State governor has initiated demolitions in flood-prone areas to improve drainage systems. The Federal Government, attributing the disaster to climate change and unregulated construction, has faced criticism for inadequate preparedness despite NiMet’s flood warnings. Vice President Kashim Shettima visited Mokwa to console victims, and an NGO is collating data for better relief distribution.
Reports confirm that Niger State is burying 153 victims, with two more bodies recently recovered, raising concerns about disease outbreaks.
The Commissioner for Humanitarian Affairs, Ahmad Suleiman, confirmed over 200 corpses recovered, emphasizing the scale of the tragedy.
President Bola Tinubu has ordered urgent repairs to the Mokwa Bridge to restore connectivity, with the Federal Ministry of Works tasked to act swiftly.
Experts note that climate change, poor drainage, and a blocked tributary of the River Dingi exacerbated the flooding, despite no water release from Kainji or Jebba dams.
Relief efforts continue, with Senator Sani Musa donating ₦50 million and food supplies, and UNICEF providing healthcare support, particularly for pregnant women. However, locals like Jibril Muregi, Mokwa’s local government chairman, stress that long-overdue flood-control infrastructure is critical to prevent future disasters.
As Mokwa grapples with loss and trauma, the nation watches a community in mourning, urging swift action to rebuild and protect against Nigeria’s worsening climate-driven floods.
The Lagos State Government has announced that the travel time on the Lagos Blue Rail Line from Marina to Mile 2, currently 18 minutes, will be reduced to approximately nine to 10 minutes, with a lower fare.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu made this statement during the handover of three newly imported trains, each with 12 coaches, to the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA).
Sanwo-Olu explained that the deployment of these new coaches will significantly enhance the Blue Rail Line’s efficiency, cutting journey times by about 50%. He also noted that LAMATA will increase the number of daily trips to accommodate more passengers.
“We are doubling the capacity that we already have on the blue rail line, and as a result, there will be a reduction in journey time, aside from that, it will be reliable and predictable. If it takes about 20 minutes to complete the journey, now it is about 10 minutes, which is what is desirable for any intra-city train,” he said.
Expressing gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for financial support in acquiring the new coaches, Sanwo-Olu highlighted that the trains will offer a faster and more efficient alternative to buses.
He also revealed that another set of larger, more advanced coaches for the Red Rail Line will arrive before the year’s end. The governor invited journalists to witness the installation of the new trains and urged LAMATA and the Chinese Construction Engineering Company (CCEC) to ensure that the process does not disrupt ongoing train operations.
In a separate development, the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) announced additional special train services on its major standard gauge routes—Lagos-Ibadan and Abuja-Kaduna—for today and tomorrow. NRC Managing Director Dr. Kayode Opeifa, in a statement issued by Acting Deputy Director of Public Relations Callistus Unyimadu, explained that the extension responds to high passenger demand during previous special services for Eid-el-Kabir.
The NRC advised passengers to arrive early for security screenings and boarding, as departures will adhere strictly to schedules, and encouraged completing online bookings in advance.
The 2025 edition of the Ojude Oba Festival has once again captivated the attention of Nigerians and the rest of the world, attracting thousands to Ijebu-Ode in Ogun State and millions more online.
As one of Nigeria’s most spectacular cultural events, the festival is not just a vibrant celebration of Yoruba heritage, but also a link between history, faith, fashion, and community pride.
Here are five things you should know about this incredible celebration:
1. A Rich History Rooted in Religious Tolerance
The Ojude Oba Festival, which means “The King’s Forecourt,” dates back to the late nineteenth century, making it more than a century old.
Its origins can be traced back to the early introduction of Islam among the Ijebu people, when Muslim converts led by Imam Tunwatoba paid a visit to Awujale Ademuyewo Afidipotemole to express their gratitude for religious freedom.
Prior to this, the main festival was the Odeda Festival, which focused on traditional religious traditions.
As Islam gained influence, converts such as the affluent Chief Kuku were no longer able to partake in Odeda. To honor the Awujale following the Eid-el-Kabir celebration, they founded Ojude Oba, a venue for demonstrating loyalty to the king while honoring faith and culture.
This show of mutual respect between the king and religion resulted in one of Nigeria’s major cultural events.
2. The Modern Meaning: More Than a Gathering
Though the festival’s roots are Islamic, Ojude Oba today transcends religion. It is now an all-inclusive cultural showcase welcoming Christians, traditional worshippers, and visitors from around the world.
The event symbolizes Ijebu identity, unity, and pride, blending fashion, tradition, music, and pageantry. Participants don stunning attires like Aso Oke, Sanyan, and Adire, making the festival a highlight of African fashion and craftsmanship.
3. The Spectacle of the ‘Regbe Regbe’ Age Grades
The Regbe Regbe procession, which has age-grade groups representing several generations of the Ijebu people, is perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the celebration. Each group, with names like Obafuwaji, Bobagbimo, Bobakeye, Gbobalaye, and Gbobaniyi, displays meticulously coordinated outfits and performances, competing to win admiration, glory, and sometimes cash prizes from sponsors.
These social clubs are more than for show, they are essential to Ijebu social structure, fostering community service, development projects, and social bonding across generations. In 2024, over 90 such groups participated, and the 2025 edition maintained this impressive scale.
4. The 2025 Edition: A Global Affair
The 2025 Ojude Oba Festival, held on Sunday, June 8, at the Awujale Pavilion in Ijebu-Ode, was nothing short of spectacular, possibly the grandest in recent memory. Under the theme “Celebrating Our Roots, Preserving Our Future,” the festival not only celebrated the rich cultural heritage of the Ijebu people but also subtly echoed the ongoing call for the creation of Ijebu State, with Ijebu-Ode as its proposed capital.
According to the festival’s coordinator, Fassy Yusuf, an estimated 100 million people attended in person or via live streaming at the Utoro Centre, giving the event an unprecedented global reach. The festival drew a wide range of attendees, including Nigerians in the diaspora, fashion lovers, cultural historians, and tourists wanting to experience the grandeur of Yoruba tradition.
Attendees were delighted by signature highlights such as colorful Regbe Regbe parades, regal horse displays, and thrilling cultural performances. Security was visibly tight, with various agencies protecting the safety of the large throng.
The attendance of high-profile guests, including Hannatu Musawa, Nigeria’s Minister of Arts, Culture, and Creative Economy, who grabbed notice with her colorful festival outfit, bolstered the event’s growing national and worldwide image.
Social media further amplified the festival’s global profile, with viral moments such as a photographer’s unexpected encounter with an aggressive cow sparking widespread online engagement. Corporate sponsors, influencers, government officials, and culture advocates were also actively present, boosting the festival’s prospects for UNESCO heritage recognition, as proposed by Nigeria’s Ministry of Culture.
5. Economic, Social, and Cultural Impact
Beyond the glamour, Ojude Oba drives significant economic growth for Ogun State. Local businesses: hotels, artisans, fashion designers, food vendors, and transport services, reap huge benefits during the festival season. The event has become a magnet for social media content creators, fashion houses, photographers, and even global brands like Globacom Nigeria.
Moreover, the festival enhances cultural diplomacy, projecting Nigeria’s soft power and showcasing Yoruba cultural wealth to the world. The parade of the Balogun families on horseback remains a centerpiece, linking modern-day Ijebuland with its royal and warrior past.
The Ojude Oba Festival is more than a local event; it’s a cultural phenomenon that combines history, faith, fashion, economic opportunity, and global visibility. With each passing year, including the spectacular 2025 edition, Ojude Oba continues to evolve as a symbol of unity, pride, and rich Yoruba tradition on the world stage.
On the night of June 8, 2025, the Allianz Arena in Munich witnessed a footballing spectacle worthy of its billing the final of the UEFA Nations League 2024/2025 between Spain and Portugal.
It was a match that delivered drama, tension, brilliance, and history. More than just a trophy was at stake; national pride, generational legacy, and personal redemption hung in the balance.
From the first whistle, both teams came out with intensity. Spain drew first blood through a well-taken strike from Martín Zubimendi, slicing through Portugal’s midfield to slot the ball past Diogo Costa. But Portugal responded with grit.
Just five minutes later, Nuno Mendes surged forward from the left, danced past a defender, and unleashed a thunderous effort to bring his team level.
As the match wore on, Spain edged ahead once more. Just before halftime, Mikel Oyarzabal found space in the box and calmly finished to restore Spain’s lead. It looked like Spain might take control, but then came Cristiano Ronaldo.
In the 61st minute, at 40 years old, Ronaldo reminded the world why he is one of the greatest to ever play the game. A looping cross fell kindly, and without hesitation, he struck a perfect volley into the bottom corner. It was his 138th goal for Portugal and perhaps one of the most emotional of his career.
The Allianz Arena erupted, and the match was once again on equal footing.
The two sides remained deadlocked through extra time. When it came down to penalties, Portugal’s composure and experience shone through. Diogo Costa saved Álvaro Morata’s attempt, and Rúben Neves delivered the decisive blow. Ronaldo fell to his knees in tears a mix of joy, relief, and perhaps the bittersweet knowledge that his international career was nearing its end.
Ronaldo at 40: Still the Heart of Portugal
There’s something inherently theatrical about Cristiano Ronaldo. He has long lived for the big stage, the knockout nights, the clutch moments. At 40, he may no longer be the relentless dribbler of 2009 or the lightning-quick counter-attacker of Euro 2016. But what he brings now is different sharper instincts, sharper mentality, and a deeper understanding of the game.
Physically, he remains a marvel. His discipline is unmatched. His work ethic, legendary. And when it comes to leading a squad, especially one brimming with young stars no one wears the armband with more presence.
Ronaldo’s role has certainly evolved. He is no longer expected to chase every ball or drop deep to build play. Instead, he operates like a finisher, a poacher with a sixth sense for opportunity. He waits for his moment, and more often than not, he delivers.
Can Ronaldo Go One Step Further?
With the 2026 FIFA World Cup around the corner, the big question looms: can Ronaldo end his story with the ultimate prize?
Portugal certainly have the tools. Under Roberto Martínez, they’ve blended experience and youth beautifully. Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, João Félix, Rúben Dias, and Diogo Costa have all matured into leaders.
The bench is deeper than ever. And with Ronaldo still capable of scoring in key matches as we saw against Spain, he remains central to their plans.
But the World Cup is different. It’s longer. It’s grueling. It demands consistency across seven high-intensity matches. Does Ronaldo have one more tournament in his legs?
Analysis: A Legacy in the Making
For Ronaldo, the 2026 World Cup in the US, Mexico, and Canada could be the final chapter.
He’s already won the Euros, lifted the Nations League twice and conquered club football, but the World Cup remains the only trophy missing from his glittering career.
And while the odds are long, there’s something poetic about the idea of a final push of one last summer with Ronaldo at the helm, not as a boy wonder or a Ballon d’Or hunter, but as a veteran king, leading Portugal with pride, wisdom, and the will to win.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s performance in the Nations League final was a reminder to the world that greatness doesn’t fade, it evolves.
He may not run like he used to, but he still scores, still leads, and still inspires. And in a team as talented and hungry as Portugal, that may be enough.
The Irish government has spent approximately N577 million (€324,714) on a chartered flight to deport 35 Nigerians from Dublin to Lagos.
According to Ireland’s Minister for Justice, Jim O’Callaghan, the deportees had disregarded prior deportation orders and were removed from Ireland as part of a firm enforcement approach toward immigration regulations. The minister emphasized that deportation orders must be respected, and those who are not permitted to stay in Ireland will face the consequences.
The flight experienced an unscheduled stop due to a medical emergency onboard, but all deportees eventually arrived in Nigeria on Thursday morning. This marks the third use of a chartered aircraft for deportations by Ireland in 2025, as part of the government’s ongoing efforts to enforce immigration laws.
The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) clarified that it had no involvement in the operation and was not notified beforehand. NIDCOM spokesperson Abdur-Rahman Balogun stated that Ireland is not obligated to inform the commission about deportations and retains the right to repatriate individuals who violate its laws.
Ireland resumed deportations via chartered flights earlier this year, and so far, 106 individuals have been repatriated using this method in 2025. The Irish Department of Justice has confirmed that more deportations are scheduled in the coming months, with 2,403 deportation orders signed in 2024 alone.
The deportation, which took place on Wednesday night, involved 21 men, nine women, and five children, escorted by personnel from An Garda Síochána, the Department of Justice, and the Irish Prison Service.
The deportation of Nigerians from Ireland highlights the country’s determination to enforce immigration laws and manage the presence of foreign nationals within its borders.
The Irish government’s approach to deportation is seen as a means of maintaining the rule of law and ensuring that those who are not permitted to stay in the country are removed.
The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has issued a weather forecast predicting thunderstorms and rainfall across various parts of the country from Sunday to Tuesday.
According to NiMet, Sunday will begin with thunderstorms in the northern states, particularly in areas such as Taraba and Adamawa, with prospects of thunderstorms and rain in other parts of the region.
The North-Central region is expected to experience cloudy skies in the morning, followed by thunderstorms and rainfall in the afternoon and evening. The South will also experience rain showers in the afternoon and evening, affecting several states.
On Monday and Tuesday, NiMet predicts early thunderstorms accompanied by rain in several states, including Sokoto, Zamfara, and Bauchi. The agency expects rainfall and thunderstorms to affect various parts of the country, including the Federal Capital Territory, Niger, Kogi, and Nasarawa.
NiMet also advised Nigerians to take necessary safety measures, including disconnecting electrical appliances from sockets and staying away from tall trees. The agency urged airline operators to obtain updated, airport-specific weather reports for proper flight planning.
Residents are advised to stay informed through weather updates from NiMet to ensure their safety during the expected weather changes. Strong winds might precede the rains in areas where thunderstorms are likely to occur, and Nigerians are cautioned to be prepared.
The Federal Government has declared June 12, 2025, a public holiday to commemorate Nigeria’s Democracy Day, marking 26 years of uninterrupted democratic rule. Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, made the announcement, congratulating Nigerians for sustaining democracy since its return in 1999.
Dr. Tunji-Ojo described June 12 as a celebration of Nigeria’s national resolve, representing a historic journey towards building a nation where truth, justice, and peace reign. He noted that the country’s democratic experience over the years tells a story of resilience, strength, and courage.
The Minister emphasized that democracy is a continuous process that requires participation, openness, and accountability. He highlighted President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration’s commitment to democratic ideals, stating that the Renewed Hope government upholds the universal values of democracy.
Dr. Tunji-Ojo called on citizens to reflect on the significance of the day and remain active participants in the democratic process. He stressed that it is their collective duty to ensure the sacrifices of democratic heroes are not in vain.
The statement was officially signed by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani, and dated June 8, 2025. The public holiday marks an important milestone in Nigeria’s democratic journey, and citizens are expected to join in celebrating this significant day.
On June 4, 2025, the United States government, under President Donald Trump, issued a new executive order banning nationals from five African countries Chad, Eritrea, Equatorial Guinea, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and Somalia from traveling to the United States.
The order will go into effect on June 9, and includes both immigrant and non-immigrant visa categories.
The U.S. government cited concerns over national security, weak identity verification systems, and poor cooperation on deportation enforcement as the reasons for the ban.
Justification given for the ban
According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, these five African nations failed to meet key information sharing benchmarks. Officials claimed that the countries either did not reliably verify the identities of their citizens or refused to accept nationals deported from the United States.
They also warned that continued gaps in data sharing and background checks could pose a threat to U.S. national security.
Somalia and Eritrea had been listed under earlier restrictions during Trump’s first term in office. Chad had previously been removed from the original 2017 travel ban but has now been added back under what the administration called a “reassessment of global compliance.”
Equatorial Guinea and the DRC however, are newly added to the list.
The revised policy is seen as a broader effort by the administration to clamp down on immigration, especially from countries deemed “high risk.”
What This Means For Citizens of These Countries
People from these five African countries will no longer be issued visas for purposes of tourism, education, employment, or family reunification.
The ban affects thousands of students, workers, and family members. According to 2024 U.S. State Department data, Somalia alone accounted for over 2,500 U.S. student and refugee visa recipients.
U.S. permanent residents and dual citizens are not affected, and exceptions exist for humanitarian and diplomatic purposes. However, for most ordinary applicants, the path to America is now closed.
Reactions Across Africa
The move sparked immediate criticism across the continent. The African Union expressed concern calling the measure discriminatory and urging the U.S. to reconsider.
The government of Chad issued a statement suspending visa issuance to American citizens in response to what it called an “unwarranted and disrespectful decision.”
Somalia stated it was in active dialogue with U.S. authorities to improve security protocols and “re-establish trust.”
The DRC’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it was “surprised and disheartened,” and emphasized that it had made considerable progress in passport technology and identity screening.
Eritrea and Equatorial Guinea have not publicly responded but are reportedly conducting internal security reviews.
Public and Social Reactions
Domestically, the travel ban has reignited debates about race, religion, and America’s immigration posture.
Supporters of the administration say it is a necessary precaution. Homeland Security officials claim the ban is “data-driven” and not racially motivated.
Critics, including members of Congress and civil rights groups, call the ban xenophobic and point out that most of the countries listed are African or Muslim-majority nations.
Immigration advocacy organizations such as the ACLU have announced plans to file lawsuits challenging the ban’s legality.
World Leaders Response
Several African and international leaders took to social media to condemn the decision.
Kenya’s President Amina Odinga posted on X: “This ban is unfair and deeply hurtful to the people of Africa. We must continue to advocate for dignity, respect, and fairness in global migration policy.”
Nigerian senator and former presidential candidate Chuka Okoye wrote: “Five African nations banned. One policy built on suspicion and silence. The continent must speak with one voice.”
X user @afrikaren posted: “My cousin finally got her student visa to study medicine in Boston. Today it was cancelled. She cried. I cried. We all deserve better.”
What Comes Next
The U.S. State Department has indicated that the countries may be removed from the ban if they improve data-sharing, adopt biometric identity systems, and commit to accepting deported nationals.
There is currently no timeline for reassessment.
The 2025 travel ban widely seen as one of the most consequential foreign policy decisions of Trump’s renewed presidency has strained Washington’s already fragile relationships with parts of the African continent.
Whether the decision enhances security or widens global divides remains to be seen.
The stage is set for a blockbuster finale to the 2024/25 UEFA Nations League as Spain lock horns with Portugal on Sunday, 8 June, at the iconic Allianz Arena in Munich. Both teams are chasing history—each aiming to become the first two-time champions of the tournament. Portugal clinched the inaugural title in 2019, while Spain enter as reigning champions, having triumphed in 2023.
Ronaldo’s Record and Portugal’s Statement Win
In a gripping semi-final on Wednesday, Cristiano Ronaldo led Portugal to a dramatic 2-1 victory over hosts Germany, crushing their hopes of a first-ever Nations League crown. The 39-year-old icon extended his world record tally to 137 international goals, once again proving his uncanny ability to rise to the occasion.
Yamal’s Masterclass Powers Spain Past France
Just a day later, the football world witnessed a coming-of-age performance. Lamine Yamal, Spain’s 17-year-old prodigy, scored twice in a breathtaking 5-4 win over France in Stuttgart. The Barcelona wonderkid dazzled throughout, dominating the match and solidifying his Ballon d’Or credentials in front of a global audience.
A Classic Rivalry Renewed
Sunday’s final reignites one of football’s longest-running rivalries. The two nations last clashed in the 2022 Nations League group stage, with Álvaro Morata’s late goal securing a 1-0 win for Spain in Braga. But this time, the stakes are higher—and the narrative richer.
The final marks the first competitive showdown between Ronaldo and Yamal, a generational duel between one of the game’s greatest ever and one of its brightest young stars. Their face-off adds a fresh layer to a rivalry that began over a century ago, in 1921.
Spain’s Blueprint for Victory: Powered by Yamal
With 18 goals and 25 assists for Barcelona this season, Lamine Yamal has emerged as Spain’s sparkplug. His vision, confidence, and clinical finishing make him the heartbeat of a team looking to blend youthful exuberance with tactical precision.
For Spain to prevail, they must:
Unleash Yamal’s creativity against Portugal’s disciplined defense.
Tighten up defensively, having conceded four goals to France.
Maintain midfield synergy, especially the trio of Yamal, Pedri, and Rodri, to dictate tempo and space.
Spain also boast an unbeaten run of 10 away games in the Nations League—a stat that underlines their momentum heading into Munich.
Ronaldo’s Last Dance? Portugal’s Path to Glory
At 39, Cristiano Ronaldo remains Portugal’s talisman—and perhaps, this could be his final bow on the international stage. His goal against Germany served as yet another reminder that legends don’t fade—they evolve.
Portugal have lost just once in their last nine Nations League outings and bring both experience and hunger to this showdown.
Key factors for a Portuguese victory:
Ronaldo’s killer instinct in front of goal and leadership in crunch time.
Support from a dynamic midfield, with João Félix and Bernardo Silva orchestrating attacks.
A seasoned defense, ready to neutralize Spain’s quick transitions and wide threats.
Should Ronaldo find the net or deliver a crucial assist, he could once again tip the scales—and further cement his legacy with another international trophy.
With history on the line, a generational duel at the forefront, and two world-class squads primed for glory, Sunday’s final promises a footballing spectacle. Whether it’s the enduring greatness of Ronaldo or the meteoric rise of Yamal, one thing is certain: Munich is set to witness a clash for the ages.
