BREAKING NEWS: OGONI DIALOGUE COMMITTEE DENIES ROLE IN 40 NNPCL JOB SLOTS AND CONTRACT AWARDS

Image
The Ogoni Dialogue Committee, ODC, has denied claims that it influenced the allocation of 40 job slots at the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, or played any role in the award of government contracts. Speaking at a press conference in Port Harcourt, ODC Chairman, Professor Don Baridam, said the 40 employment opportunities were proposed as part of confidence-building measures in the Ogoni dialogue with the Federal Government. He, however, stressed that the committee neither selected nor recruited the beneficiaries, saying NNPCL relied on its existing recruitment database to identify qualified Ogoni applicants. Professor Baridam acknowledged that some ODC members submitted names for consideration but said the nominations did not determine the final selection. The committee also rejected claims of involvement in government or NNPCL contract awards, saying such matters were outside its mandate. On reports of renewed oil operations in Ogoniland, the ODC said it...

WHATSAPP TO START CHARGING NIGERIA BUSINESSES FROM OCTOBER 2026

Image
Businesses using Meta’s WhatsApp Business Platform will begin paying for certain customer messages from October 1, 2026, following a new pricing structure announced by the company. The new policy applies primarily to organisations that use the WhatsApp Business Platform, formerly known as the WhatsApp Business API, to handle customer communications at scale. However, regular WhatsApp users and small businesses using the standard WhatsApp Business app are not the primary targets of the new charges. Under the revised pricing model, fees will vary depending on the type of message businesses send to customers. Utility messages, such as payment notifications, order confirmations and other service-related updates, will cost approximately $0.0101 per message. Marketing messages, meanwhile, will attract a higher charge of about $0.062 per message. The new structure means businesses that rely heavily on WhatsApp for customer engagement, notifications and promotional campaigns may ne...

Image
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has revealed that she felt unexpectedly lonely and sad after her staff eliminated cockroaches from her official residence in Tokyo. Takaichi shared the unusual experience on X on August 22 while responding to a question she frequently receives about whether she had encountered the ghosts reportedly said to haunt the prime minister’s official residence. However, Takaichi said she had never encountered any ghosts. Instead, she found herself dealing with cockroaches. The 65-year-old leader said she was shocked when a cockroach suddenly ran past her feet despite her efforts to keep the residence clean. She explained that she carefully wiped the floor beneath her dining table, disposed of food scraps in a covered bin and washed and sorted plastic containers. Takaichi also explained that she could not bring herself to k+ll the cockroaches because of her influence from Japanese manga artist Osamu Tezuka’s Phoenix, which explores the concept o...

Image
Former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai (retd.), has warned the United States against releasing documents allegedly linked to past dr@g-tr@fficking investigations involving President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, saying such a move could amount to foreign interference in Nigeria’s affairs and influence the 2027 elections.  Buratai made the remarks in a paper titled “Nigeria First: A Case for Protecting National Sovereignty and Dignity – A Patriotic and Non-Partisan Perspective,” published on his verified Facebook page.  He argued that the controversy should not be viewed solely as an issue concerning Tinubu, stressing that its implications could extend to the country’s image, sovereignty and political stability.  “This is not merely about Bola Tinubu; it is about 250 million Nigerians whose national pride, economic prospects, and global standing hang in the balance,” he stated.  Buratai questioned why an issue dating back about 33 years was being revived,...

Image
Former Vice President Atiku has defended his decision to seek the presidency, saying that his age and previous attempts should not affect his constitutional right to contest. Atiku said, “We have a president who is 90 years old now and who is sick, and I am healthy. I am strong. So why would I not make my services available to my fellow countrymen?” When told Tinubu is not yet 90, Atiku replied, “Well, I have evidence, I have evidence that he is. And I will present it in court.” He said, “I have been on the ballot two times, or three times. Let me give you my political history. I ran for governor four times, because at that position, the people who were in charge of our transition to democracy were military, and I was so anti-military. And any time I won, they would disqualify me; any time I won, they would disqualify me.” He added, “The last was when there was even an attempt on my life, and I went into exile.
