VIDEO: A man who was abducted by bandits for over a year has been found along Birnin Gwari–Tagina road in Niger State. He says he is from Zangon Daura (Zango LGA), Katsina State.
Those who came across him said he appears to be struggling mentally. Hopefully, his family or someone who knows him will see this and help get him back home.
Imagine spending over a year in captivity and finally finding yourself alone on the road, far from home. He has already endured enough. Please retweet massively, one retweet could be the reason his family finally finds him. May Allah reunite him with his loved ones and heal the wounds this ordeal has left behind.
Prof. Hadiza Nuhu, an associate professor of pharmacy at Ahmadu Bello University, has developed Herb 25, an anti-malaria herbal drug registered by NAFDAC.
The drug, developed after 12 years of research, is described as an enhanced ethnomedical preparation from herbs traditionally used in Nigeria to treat malaria.
Herb 25 is formulated for chloroquine-resistant malaria and is dispensed in tea bags for easy preparation with hot water. University officials said it is the first anti-malaria drug of its kind to be produced by a Nigerian university.
Nuhu, a senior lecturer in the Department of Pharmacognosy and Drug Development, holds a Ph.D. from ABU. She is also a member of the Nigerian Society of Pharmacognosy and research director of the Association of Commonwealth Traditional Medicine Practitioners, West Africa.
The power of social media is truly amazing. ❤️
I made a random post about a man selling pure water on the streets of Abuja while dressed in a suit. Not long after, Cosgrove Investment Limited saw the post and commented, asking us to help find him because they believed such dedication deserved to be rewarded.
A few days later, I found him, reached out to Cosgrove and connected them.
Just over a week later, he called me with so much gratitude. Cosgrove had met with him and empowered him to start a business of his own. He couldn’t stop thanking everyone who made it possible.
This is a reminder that one simple post can change someone’s life.
Thank you to everyone who shared the post and helped us find him. And a special thank you to Cosgrove for turning kindness into action.

PRESS RELEASE
EXTENSION OF CONTINUOUS VOTER REGISTRATION (CVR) AND INTRODUCTION OF SELF-SERVICE REGISTRATION FOR FIRST-TIME VOTERS
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) wishes to inform Nigerians that, following a review of the ongoing nationwide Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise and feedbacks received from its State Offices, political parties, civil society organisations, and other stakeholders, the Commission has approved a two-week extension of the exercise.
As Nigerians are aware, the nationwide CVR exercise commenced on 18th August, 2025 and was originally scheduled to conclude on 10th July 2026. In order to provide additional opportunity for eligible citizens who are yet to register, the Commission has extended the exercise to Sunday, 26th July 2026.
The extension underscores the Commission's commitment to ensuring that every eligible Nigerian has a fair and reasonable opportunity to be included in the Register of Voters ahead of future electoral activities.
In furtherance of its commitment to innovation, accessibility, and improved service delivery, the Commission is pleased to announce the introduction of a self-service registration option (online) for eligible first-time voters. The new service will become available from Wednesday, 8th July, 2026 through the Commission's dedicated CVR portal - https://t.co/zSrbjW8vGZ where the step-by-step guide is also provided.
The self-service option will enable eligible citizens to initiate and complete their voter registration process, including biometric capture, using their personal devices without having to physically visit an INEC office. The system incorporates robust identity verification, biometric validation, and backend integrity checks designed to preserve the credibility and accuracy of the National Register of Voters.
The Commission urges all eligible Nigerians who are yet to register to take advantage of this extended window and explore the new voter registration technology option. The Commission remains committed to a credible, inclusive and accessible voter registration process, and to advancing the use of technology to improve citizens' experience in the electoral process.

I was relaxing in front of my shop when a young cattle herder walked by with his herd. He stopped, stared at my shop for a while, and looked genuinely curious.
I smiled and said, "How about giving me one cow for free?"
Without hesitation, he replied, "What would you even do with a cow? You already have a shop!"
I laughed and said, "Then let's trade—you give me all your cows, and I'll give you my shop."
He shook his head. "No way!"
I invited him inside to enjoy the cool air from the fan. After a few seconds, he looked at me, smiled, and said, "You wouldn't last a day as a herder."
I couldn't stop laughing. Then I took a photo of him and showed it to him. The moment he saw himself, he burst into laughter.
We both laughed like old friends before he waved goodbye and continued on his journey with his cattle.
That brief encounter was a reminder that every child has a story, dreams, and potential. With access to education and opportunity, many more doors can open for children like him.N

Her name is Malavika Hegde.
In July 2019, her husband VG Siddhartha walked onto a bridge near Mangalore and told his driver he would be back shortly.
He never came back.
Siddhartha had built Cafe Coffee Day into India’s largest coffee chain. 1700 cafes. 25000 employees. He had also buried the company under Rs 7214 crore of debt.
The board panicked. Analysts wrote CCD off.
Nobody had accounted for Malavika.
She was an engineer. A mother of two. She had never run a company in her life. Her father SM Krishna was a former Chief Minister of Karnataka. She could have lived in that shadow comfortably.
She chose the debt instead.
In December 2020, she took over as CEO. In the middle of a pandemic. Her first act was a personal letter to all 25000 employees. She wrote the CCD story is worth preserving. I will fight for this brand.
Then she got to work.
She called every lender personally and renegotiated terms. She sold Global Village Tech Park to Blackstone. She closed every loss making outlet. She exported premium Arabica beans from her own 20000 acre farm to international markets to generate fresh revenue.
She never raised the price of a single cup of coffee.
By 2021, the debt was down to Rs 1731 crore. By 2023, it was Rs 465 crore.
A 93 percent reduction in four years.
Today, CCD runs 423 cafes and 55733 vending machines across India. Netflix is developing a web series on her life. Business schools are teaching her turnaround as a case study.
She had no playbook. She had no mentor. She had grief and 25000 people depending on her.
That was enough.
