Watch the highlights from one of the Forum’s most insightful conversations.

The figures highlight Nigeria’s growing importance in Indonesia’s efforts to diversify its crude oil supply.

Tyla’s Lagos concert is no longer on her APOP World Tour schedule.

The decision came after boycott calls linked to renewed xenophobic attacks against Nigerians in South Africa, but the discussion has grown beyond the concert itself.

Many Nigerians are asking a different question.

Should influential artists speak up when violence affecting fellow Africans becomes part of the public conversation?

Tyla has not publicly commented on the attacks or the backlash, and that silence has become a story of its own.

Nigeria has finished the 2026 Commonwealth Games as Africa’s highest-ranked nation.

Team Nigeria ended the competition with 24 medals comprising 10 gold, 7 silver and 7 bronze, finishing 7th overall and securing the continent’s only place in the top 10.

The campaign also produced historic moments, from first-ever Commonwealth titles to new Games and world records.

Glasgow delivered more than medals. It showed the strength of Nigerian sport across multiple disciplines.

UEFA has formally asked FIFA to preserve documents linked to its withdrawn World Cup investment proposal while considering possible legal action.

The proposal would have created a new commercial entity that could sell a minority stake to outside investors while FIFA retained control of football governance.

FIFA has since withdrawn the plan, but UEFA’s latest move suggests the debate is far from over.

For now, there is no lawsuit. What exists is a clear signal that one of football’s biggest governing bodies wants to keep every document on record.

BNXN and Asake have finally given fans what they’ve been asking for.

Their first official collaboration, Eja Meja, brings together two of Afrobeats’ biggest stars on a record that blends melody, energy and familiar chemistry.

The excitement isn’t just about the song itself.

It’s about seeing two artists who have dominated the charts in their own ways finally share the same stage.

If the early reaction is anything to go by, fans may already be waiting for the next collaboration.

Chukwuebuka Enekwechi has given Nigeria a medal it had never won before. 🇳🇬🥇

His 21.07m throw secured gold in the men’s shot put, making him the first Nigerian to win the event at the Commonwealth Games.

The victory reflects years of progress: silver in 2018, fourth place in 2022, and now gold in 2026.

Team Nigeria also celebrated more success as Jessica Oji won silver and Tobi Amusan claimed bronze, rounding off a strong day for Nigerian athletics.
