A huge shout out to the 🇳🇬 Nigerian National Hockey 🏒 players and their coaches!

During the last couple of weeks they worked hard on getting ready for upcoming international tournaments.

🇩🇪German hockey coach Michael Behrmann assisted with his expertise, as part of the German Sports Co-operation Programme, funded by the Federal Foreign Office, implemented by the @DOSB (German Olympic Sports Confederation).

Do you know how to hold a hockey stick 🏒?

You should visit one of the 3️⃣6️⃣ hockey 🏒 associations spread out all over Nigeria 🇳🇬 !

Tonight, Germany 🇩🇪 takes on Ecuador 🇪🇨 at the FIFA World Cup! 🏆

To predict the outcome, we turned to our three-headed oracle 🔮—Naledi, Balozi and Nyota. 🐶🐶🐶

Did they all agree? 🤔
Watch below to see their predictions! 👇🏾

Do you think they’re right? 😊
What’s your score prediction? ⚽🏆

Ahead of Charity‘s trip to Germany, we flipped the script. 😄🇩🇪

This time, *Charity* asked the questions about Germany—and Felix answered with the same straight face she‘s famous for.

Watch what happens when Africa’s favourite myth-buster gets a taste of Germany’s most outrageous “facts.” 👀👇

🥨🌭🍺 *Fun fact*: In Bavaria, people really do enjoy a traditional Weißwurstfrühstück—white sausage, pretzels and wheat beer. (Just… not three times a day. 😉)

[Germany in Nigeria @GERinNigeria]

The German Embassy hosted a viewing party for the Germany 🇩🇪 vs. Cote d'Ivoire🇨🇮 match on Saturday, and as predicted 🧘‍♀️, Germany 🇩🇪 won!🏆

Congratulations to us 😊 and thanks to our friends from the Ivorian Embassy for celebrating a great evening of football together ⚽️

[Germany in Nigeria @GERinNigeria]

The Oracle has spoken! 🔮🐾

We consulted Balozi on tonight’s World Cup clash between Germany 🇩🇪 and Côte d’Ivoire 🇨🇮… and every prediction came back the same:

🇩🇪 Germany for the win! 💪🥳🎉

What is your prediction?

Let us know in the comments 👇

[Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz @bundeskanzler]

I welcome the agreement between the U.S. and Iran and congratulate President Trump and the Iranian side on this diplomatic breakthrough. This can pave the way towards a reinvigorated global economy and a more secure Middle East. It is crucial to implement it with determination.

“Together, we are advancing durable solutions that can be scaled across Sokoto State and beyond.” ~H.E. Ambassador @AnnettInes at the commissioning of 100 housing units in Illela, Sokoto.

[Annett Günther, German Ambassador to Nigeria @AnnettInes]

Proud that Germany is committing another 3 million Euro for people in need in the North-West. It was good to visit Illela and see some of the outcomes of our joint efforts @ahmedaliyuskt @ElsieAttafuah:
Thank you @ProfZulum for joining us as guest of honour.

Northwest Nigeria is rising through resilience. Resilience of its people, resilience through hope and belief to build back better.

At the heart of this transformation is people. From 152 housing units and a Climate Peace Hub to a solar mini-grid, these investments are helping families rebuild, restore livelihoods, and strengthen resilience in Jibia LGA, Katsina State.

This is stabilization in action, restoring dignity, creating opportunities, and laying the foundation for lasting peace and prosperity.

Together with the @KatsinaState.ng and @GerinNigeria and @NorAmbNigeria, we are turning recovery into resilience and displacement into stability.
