By Ismaeel Aleem  The All Progressives Congress (APC) has ridiculed the African Democratic Congress (ADC)’s assertion that it will triumph in the 2027 general elections, branding the claim a “political comedy skit” devoid of realistic strategy.

By Sakariyah, Ridwanullah As the year winds down, Nigeria’s cultural calendar ignites with the phenomenon known as Dirty December – a month-long extravaganza of festivities, music, and communal revelry that transforms the nation into a hub of unbridled celebration. Coined from the Pidgin term “detty,” implying a “dirty” or carefree letting loose, this season draws millions, including diaspora returnees, to partake in concerts, carnivals, and gatherings across states. However, amid the joy, economic pressures loom large, with inflation hovering at over 30 percent and living costs strain household budgets (Trading Economics, 2024).
