INTRO : The reasons why Gov. Adeleke deposed Osun monarch were detailed in a statement issued Monday by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, following months of tension in Ipetumodu. Governor Ademola Adeleke deposed the Apetu of Ipetumodu, Oba Joseph Oloyede, after the monarch’s conviction and imprisonment for fraud in the United States. Here are five key reasons why Gov. Adeleke deposed Osun monarch . 1. US Court Conviction and 56-Month Prison Sentence:  The primary reason why Gov. Adeleke deposed Osun monarch was the criminal conviction. Oba Joseph Oloyede was “convicted of tax fraud by a United States District Court in the Northern District of Ohio, United States of America on August 26, 2025 and was sentenced to 56 months in prison.” The governor’s decision followed the receipt of the Certified True Copy of the Ohio court judgment, which confirmed the conviction and formed the basis for state action. 2.

INTRO : The reasons why Federal Government of Nigeria warned MTN, Airtel, and Glo to improve service quality or face sanctions were outlined by Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Dr Bosun Tijani, in a statement on Sunday. He said recent reforms have stabilised the sector and removed excuses for poor network performance. Here are five key reasons why FG warned MTN, Airtel, and Glo to improve service quality or face sanctions. 1. Sector Reforms Have Removed Structural Excuses for Poor Service : The first of the reasons why FG warned MTN, Airtel, and Glo to improve service quality or face sanctions is that government has addressed long-standing barriers. Tijani said Nigeria’s connectivity gaps were “largely structural, driven by years of underinvestment and constraints on operators.” Through long-term infrastructure planning and immediate sector-stabilisation measures, government has “restored sustainability and investor confidence.” With those fixes in place, the...

INTRO : The reasons why Iran accused US of 'reckless military adventure' were spelled out by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in a post on X, amid escalating clashes in the Strait of Hormuz. He said Washington opts for force “every time a ‘diplomatic solution is on the table’,” and insisted Iranians would “never bow to pressure.” Here are five key reasons why Iran accused US of 'reckless military adventure'. 1. US Military Action During Ongoing Diplomatic Talks : One of the central reasons why Iran accused US of 'reckless military adventure' is timing. Araghchi made the accusation a day after both sides blamed each other for attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, even as the US fired on more Iranian vessels. Despite the clashes, Trump said the ceasefire was intact and meant to enable talks to end the war the US and Israel launched in February. Iran was expected to respond to US proposals on Friday, according to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who said, “I hope it's...

INTRO : The reasons why INEC seeks police support for 2027 polls were laid out by INEC Chairman Prof. Joash Amupitan, SAN, during a courtesy visit to Inspector General of Police Olatunji Disu in Abuja on Wednesday. Describing security as “both the first mile and the last mile” of the electoral process, INEC said preparations for the 2027 general elections have begun. Here are five key reasons why INEC seeks police support for 2027 polls . 1. Electoral Timeline Is Already Active and Requires Immediate Security Attention : One of the main reasons why INEC seeks police support for 2027 polls is that the electoral clock is ticking.

He said the release of the timetable and ongoing party ward congresses and conventions have “effectively activated the electoral process and const...

INTRO : The reasons why North Korea says it is not bound by nuclear non-proliferation treaty were laid out by Pyongyang’s UN envoy Kim Song in a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency on Thursday. He insisted external pressure will not change North Korea’s status as a nuclear-armed state. Here are five key reasons why North Korea says it is not bound by nuclear non-proliferation treaty. 1. Formal Withdrawal From the NPT in 2003 : The first of the reasons why North Korea says it is not bound by nuclear non-proliferation treaty is legal: Pyongyang already left the pact. North Korea threatened to withdraw from the NPT in 1993 and “formally did so in 2003.” The treaty, which went into force in 1970, aims to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, but North Korea, Israel, India, and Pakistan are notable exceptions. Kim Song stressed, “The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea will not be bound by the Non-Proliferation Treaty under any circumstances whatsoever.” 2. Nucle...

INTRO : The reasons why Lagos Branch of PSN warned that pharmacists’ shortage is reaching breaking point were outlined by Mr Olaitan Ogunlade, Chairman of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria, Lagos State Branch, at the 2026 Annual Luncheon and inauguration ceremony in Lagos. In fact, over 5,200 Nigerian pharmacists emigrated within five years , driven by poor remuneration, challenging work conditions, and limited career development, resulting in a severe shortage of skilled personnel. This brain drain, primarily affecting young professionals and academics, threatens the Nigerian health sector's stability, with experts warning it could take decades to reverse. The PSN cautioned that a “dangerous depletion” of pharmacists in the Lagos State Ministry of Health is already undermining drug regulation and creating statutory breaches. Here are five key reasons why Lagos Branch of PSN warned that pharmacists’ shortage is reaching breaking point. 1. Severe Strain on the Directorate of Pha...

INTRO : The reasons why Nigeria has authorized Chinese firms to operate Warri and Port Harcourt refineries stem from NNPC Ltd’s push to end costly fuel imports and revive local refining capacity.

Ltd for the restart, operation, and expansion of both refineries. Here are five key reasons why Nigeria has authorized Chinese firms to operate Warri and Port Harcourt refineries . 1.

NNPC’s Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Andy Odey, said the deal will “pave the way for a Technical Equity Partnership aimed at completing ongoing rehabilitation works and ensuri...

INTRO : The reasons why Obi and Kwankwaso defected to Dickson’s Party, Nigeria Democratic Change (NDC) have been analyzed as the issues charged Nigeria’s political atmosphere ahead of the 2027 general elections. Former Anambra governor Peter Obi and ex-Kano governor Musa Kwankwaso led several topshots out of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, to the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, following a strategic parley with former Bayelsa governor Seriake Dickson in Abuja. Here are five key reasons why Obi and Kwankwaso defected to Dickson’s Party, NDC. 1. Supreme Court Ruling Made ADC and PDP “Uncertain Platforms”:  One of the core reasons why Obi and Kwankwaso defected to Dickson’s Party, NDC was last Thursday’s Supreme Court decision, which a political leader described as making the ADC and PDP “uncertain platforms.” With INEC’s May 10 deadline for submission of membership registers looming, opposition politicians are abandoning parties embroiled in leadership crises to secure a ball...
