Nigeria 🇳🇬 and 🇨🇲 Cameroon official border at Mfum (Nigeria) Ekok (Cameroon)
The Cameroon–Nigeria border is 1,975 km (1,227 mi) in length which makes it the second longest border between two specific countries in Africa.
The President @officialABAT should declare a state of emergency in Oyo State.
2: usual security breach in that state by all the actors that must be immediately contained by the Federal Govt.
We know you are going there to mark register and come back to join us watch the remaining World Cup together that's why we are supporting our fellow West Africa brothers from Senegal 🇸🇳 and Cape Verde 🇨🇻.
Dear Nigeria, Ghana is going to the World Cup to represent the West Africa. We don’t plan on winning the trophy, I therefore ask you that any thoughts of hate watching and banter should be abolished. Thank you
Teachers in northeastern Nigeria march in Maiduguri demanding the release of 42 abducted schoolchildren in Borno State and stronger school protection.
Al Jazeera’s Felix Nyawara reports.
One fact you should know about Nigeria and Cameroon is that, the parts of Nigeria and Cameroon sharing borders are the most beautiful parts of both countries.
Citizens of Benin republic celebrating Nigeria Army soldiers after a major operation targeting JNiM terrorists. The operation carried out on Saturday/Sunday in coordination with Benin military and vigilante backed by Nigeria Air Force eliminated over 150 terrorists.
They were wanted in connection with 14 cases of armed robbery and 28 cases of sexual assault, including rape. All suspects are South African nationals, and the oldest is 13 years old.
😩😩😩
Gosh, the illiteracy in this write up 😂😂😂😂.
These people want the government to sponsor them to open Provisions shops 😂😂😂.
South Africans don't want to work, they want their government to feed them, when the government refuses, they blame and attack foreigners.
South African spaza shop owners came out in large numbers to attend the Spaza shop owners fund. These people want funds to grow their spaza shops. Then you get people who say that if foreigners leave South Africa won't take over the spaza shops.
This is not true. South Africans don't have funding, whereas the foreigners operating spaza shops get millions in funding. As you can see even our grandfather's and grandmother's want in on this business so it is a lie to say our people don't want to run spaza shops.
Also, stop using incompetent South Africans to judge the whole of South Africa. Your experience with Aunty Joice does not define all spaza shop owners who are South Africans. That's like saying all Nigerians are members of Boko Haram.
The Population of Nigeria 61% that have access to electricity is higher than the percentage of Ghana, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Senegal that have access combined.
But the @TheREANigeria needs to do better to increase the Access by linking the Riverine communities to the Grid
Electricity Access through the National Grid💡⚡
🇬🇭 Ghana - 89.5%
🇿🇦 South Africa - 87.7%
🇸🇳 Senegal - 74.2%
🇿🇼 Zimbabwe - 62.0
🇳🇬 Nigeria - 61.2%

IMPROVEMENT IN THE POWER SECTOR IS FELT, NOT TOLD.
Maybe, just maybe…
Nigeria’s electricity problem is no longer simply about “more generation.”
Yes, there are genuine ongoing projects: OB3, AKK, ELPS expansion, transmission substations, SIEMENS UPGRADES, STATE ELECTRICITY MARKETS etc. Nobody paying attention can honestly say nothing is happening.
But we also need to stop treating “ongoing” like an achievement.
In Nigeria, some projects have been “95% complete” since the time of Adam.
A power project cannot be “almost ready” for 7–10 years.
Every major project should have a clear completion date, public milestones and accountability if timelines fail.
A few uncomfortable truths:
1. The privatisation may need revision.
The DisCos likely need a mandatory recapitalisation exercise: something similar to what Soludo’s CBN did with banks. Electricity is too important for operators who cannot sufficiently invest in infrastructure, metering and network upgrades.
2. Regulation has to become enforcement.
NERC and state regulators cannot continue operating mainly through statements and guidelines yet when a citizens reports an issue; it dies off somewhere,somewhere without resolution. Compliance should be proactive, measurable and enforced.
3. We should judge the sector by outcomes, not announcements.
Since 2023, the messaging has largely been the same: improve electricity supply, stabilise the grid and increase delivered power.
Yet reality has been mixed.
2023: Better electricity supply was promised. Some may argue that they are currently worst off in terms of supply experience.
2024: Major focus shifted to grid stability and transmission improvements. Yet grid disturbances still happened repeatedly.
2025: Nigeria recorded generation highs close to 6,000 MW: genuine progress that deserves acknowledgment. But sustained supply still remains far below meagre 5,000 MW.
Now the official ambition is 8,000 MW by 2027.
Possible? Yes.
Achievable? Also yes.
But Nigerians have heard enough projections since NEPA era.
The hard questions remain:
What project will be completed? By when? What exact MW will it add? And how do Nigerians measure success beyond press statements?
Else, propaganda runs amok.
