Wale busari02 mins

Nigeria’s inflation climbed to 15.15 percent in December 2025, up from 14.45 percent in November, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). The CPI data released on Thursday showed that the overall price level increased by 0.7 percent month-on-month. Food prices, however, eased during the period, with food inflation falling to 10.84 percent in December from 11.08 percent in November. Compared to December 2024, food inflation slowed significantly from 39.84 percent. “The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose to 131.2 in December 2025, up by 0.7 points from 130.5 in November,” the NBS report noted. The bureau added that the December headline inflation of 15.15 percent was lower than November’s 17.33 percent and down 19.65 percent from the 34.80 percent recorded in December 2024. “This indicates a year-on-year decrease in headline inflation in December 2025 compared to the same month last year, though based on a different reference year (November 2009 = 100),” the report explained. The figures come after analysts had projected a rise in inflation for December.

Trump Tells Iran He Will Not Attack, Warns of Consequences Amid Protests

Wale busari02 mins

US President Donald Trump reportedly told Iran that he has no intention of attacking the country, while urging caution, according to Iranian Ambassador to Islamabad Reza Amiri Moghadam, as reported by the Pakistani daily Dawn on Thursday. Amiri Moghadam said he “received information at around 1am, which indicated that Trump did not want war and had asked Iran not to attack the US interests in the region.” The announcement comes after heightened speculation that the US might take military action, following reports of troop withdrawals from Middle East bases and a warning for American citizens on Monday to leave Iran without delay. Trump had previously threatened Tehran over casualties during ongoing anti-government protests. Speaking at the White House on Wednesday, Trump adopted a more measured tone, noting that he had been informed executions in Iran had stopped, but cautioning that “if something like that happens, we will all be saddened.” Iranian authorities have accused the US and Israel of supporting what they describe as “riots” and “terrorism” amid the unrest. While official figures have not been released, the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) estimates that more than 2,600 people, including protesters and security personnel, have been killed.

Taiwo Oyedele Denies Claims That New Tax Law Guidelines Were Halted

Wale busari01 mins

Taiwo Oyedele, Chairman of the Presidential Tax Reform Committee, has refuted reports suggesting that the Federal Government has suspended the issuance of implementation guidelines for Nigeria’s new tax laws. The clarification came on Thursday via Oyedele’s X account, in response to a report claiming that uncertainty over the final versions of the tax laws had forced a pause in government action. The report alleged that Oyedele had directed the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) and the Joint Revenue Board (JRB) to delay issuing the guidelines, amid doubts about whether the circulating copies of the laws reflected the official final versions. It further claimed that printed copies were withheld after the National Assembly reportedly retained all gazetted copies for internal review, raising concerns about discrepancies between versions. Oyedele dismissed the report outright, writing simply: “Fake news.”

A$AP Rocky Reveals Mom Encouraged Him to Pursue Rihanna

Wale busari02 mins

A$AP Rocky has revealed that his mother always encouraged him to be with Rihanna, even advising him to move on from his ex. In an interview with The New York Times, Rocky said his mom would often tell him, “I want you with Riri,” though at the time he thought of Rihanna only as a friend. He now believes his mother’s instincts were right. “Rihanna has always been my boo. I always f*cked with her. My mother used to say, ‘I know you like this girl that you are with right now, but I want you with Riri,’” Rocky said. He continued: “And I would tell her that Rihanna is just a friend. But my mother insisted that Rihanna is a real one and that I should go for her. I’m telling you, mothers know best. However, I am thankful that my relationship with Rihanna started when it did. Because at any time prior to that, I don’t think I was ready for something like that. I don’t think she was, either.” Rocky and Rihanna first became close in 2013 when he joined her on the Diamond Tour. Rumors of their romance emerged in 2020 after Rihanna’s split from Hassan Jameel. The couple has since welcomed three children together, in 2022, 2023, and 2025.

Ghanaian Referee Daniel Nii Laryea’s Instagram Taken Down After Super Eagles’ AFCON Semi-Final Controversy

Wale busari03 mins

The Instagram account of Ghanaian referee Daniel Nii Laryea has reportedly been taken offline following intense backlash from Nigerian fans after the Super Eagles’ 4-2 penalty shootout loss to Morocco in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) semi-final. Laryea officiated the tense encounter, which ended 0-0 after extra time before Morocco advanced to the final. Even before the match, some Nigerian supporters had expressed concerns over his appointment due to the historic football rivalry between Nigeria and Ghana. Those worries intensified during the game as several decisions went against the Super Eagles. A particularly controversial moment came when defender Calvin Bassey received a yellow card, resulting in a one-match suspension. Many fans felt the booking was harsh and unnecessary considering the importance of the fixture. After the final whistle, frustrated supporters reportedly tracked Laryea’s social media accounts and began mass-reporting them. As of the latest update, his Instagram page is no longer accessible. Nigerian defender Bright Osayi-Samuel expressed his frustration in the mixed zone: “The referee was appalling. I’m not saying that’s the reason why we lost but he was making very, very wrong decisions and it’s really painful to see that we have referees like that in a game like today.” Super Eagles striker Akor Adams also showed his displeasure, giving a brief but pointed response to reporters: “Make una go interview the referee,” he said while walking past the press. The controversy over Laryea’s officiating has continued online, with many Nigerian fans alleging bias in favour of the host nation. No official complaint has yet been filed, but the debate remains a major talking point in the aftermath of Nigeria’s semi-final exit.
