House of Reps Introduces Two-Year Jail Term, N10 Million Fine For Dual Party Membership

Wale busari02 mins

The House of Representatives has strengthened the Electoral Act 2026 by introducing strict penalties for individuals who hold membership in more than one political party at the same time. The amendment to Section 77 now prescribes a two-year jail term, a N10 million fine, or both for offenders. During a session of the committee of the whole chaired by Deputy Speaker Benjamin Okezie Kalu, lawmakers debated and approved three new clauses—8, 9, and 10—aimed at curbing dual party membership. The new clauses make it clear that anyone found registered with multiple political parties will have all such memberships nullified. Clause 8 states that no person shall be registered as a member of more than one political party simultaneously. Clause 9 specifies that if dual membership is discovered, it will be voided, and the individual will not be recognized as a valid party member until proper regularisation under the law and party constitution. Clause 10 sets out the penalties, stating that anyone who knowingly maintains membership in more than one party commits an offence punishable by a N10 million fine, two years imprisonment, or both.

Lagos TikToker Harassed While Exposing Long Queues, Bus Shortages at Ikorodu BRT Terminal

Wale busari04 mins

A Lagos-based TikTok creator has alleged harassment while documenting severe bus shortages and long queues at the Ikorodu Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) terminal, highlighting the daily difficulties faced by thousands of commuters. “I got harassed on the queue because I spoke up,” the creator, known on TikTok as darkskinnedella (@ella_the_fashionistar), said in a video shared Wednesday, recounting the incident. A videographer and video editor, she moved to Lagos between September and October 2025 and has been sharing videos of her daily commute to Lagos Island, showing the realities of navigating the BRT system. The Lagos BRT, regulated by the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) but operated by private companies like Primero Transport Services Limited, often sees commuters waiting for hours before boarding. In her videos, the TikToker showed lines stretching for long distances, with passengers spending over two hours to get a bus. “People use BRT because it has its own lane,” she said. “Even when I arrive early, I sometimes spend over two hours before boarding.” Evening commutes are equally problematic, with similar delays for buses returning commuters home. The situation escalated Tuesday when she clashed with a woman at the terminal who demanded she stop filming. “If they provided buses for us, I would stop. But I spend five minutes or more in the queue, I will make videos,” she said. The woman suggested she arrive earlier, prompting a heated exchange about bus availability. In another video, a staff member attempted to seize her phone while she continued recording, leading to a tense confrontation. She also alleged that a man threatened her over the videos, claiming people had reported seeing him in the footage. The TikToker further revealed that several BRT buses had been chartered for an event, contributing to the shortage that morning. “Almost all the BRT buses were chartered for an event. They knew people had to go to work, yet we still stood for hours,” she said, eventually leaving the terminal after 9 a.m. Her videos have sparked renewed discussion about the management of Lagos’ BRT system and the daily struggles of its commuters. Ella the BRT content creator just shared another video of a man thr3&tening to h&rm her tomorrow morning if she makes another video. And the people in the bus sat there and didn’t even take her side. This country is gone. https://t.co/MrmkM1eynO pic.twitter.com/EIBi2QbWmc — 𝐀𝐬𝐚𝐤𝐲𝐆𝐑𝐍 (@AsakyGRN) March 11, 2026

Iran Will Not Participate in FIFA World Cup Following Killing of Supreme Leader, Says Sports Minister

Wale busari03 mins

Iran’s Sports Minister Ahmad Donyamali has declared that the country will not participate in the FIFA World Cup after the United States killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. “Considering that this corrupt regime [the US] has assassinated our leader, under no circumstances can we participate in the World Cup,” Donyamali said in a statement to state television on Wednesday. All of Iran’s group-stage matches are scheduled in US cities, including Los Angeles and Seattle, as the World Cup is being co-hosted by the US, Canada, and Mexico. Donyamali emphasized that the current situation makes it impossible for the national team to compete safely. “Our children are not safe, and fundamentally, the conditions required for participation do not exist,” he said. “The US and Israel have carried out actions that forced two wars over the past eight or nine months, killing and martyred thousands of our people. We certainly cannot have a presence under these circumstances.” The announcement is the first formal statement from Iran’s government regarding its World Cup plans since the US and Israel began attacks on February 28, which have so far killed 1,255 people and injured more than 12,000. Tehran has responded with multiple waves of missiles and drone strikes targeting Israel, US military bases in the region, and other infrastructure. Last week, Mehdi Taj, president of the Football Federation of the Islamic Republic of Iran, had expressed uncertainty over the team’s participation but did not confirm a boycott. “After this attack, we cannot be expected to look forward to the World Cup with hope,” Taj said. FIFA President Gianni Infantino had previously stated that Iran would be welcome to participate, noting that US President Donald Trump had assured the team’s eligibility to compete despite ongoing hostilities. Iran, the first nation to qualify for the tournament, is now officially stepping back from participation as the conflict escalates, leaving its World Cup future in doubt.

Kano Hisbah Detains Teenagers Planning Pimps’ Birthday Party During Eid

Wale busari02 mins

The Kano State Hisbah Board has detained two teenage boys, Umar Yahaya (19) and Musa Al-Hassan (18), for allegedly planning a birthday party for pimps during the upcoming Eid-el-Fitr celebrations in Kano. Deputy Command General of the Board, Mujahideen Aminudeen, confirmed the arrests in a statement on Tuesday, revealing that the teenagers had used social media to invite colleagues from across Nigeria to the event, scheduled immediately after Eid prayers. “They claimed to be Yan Daudu (pimps) and organized a gathering involving dancing and immoral behavior,” Aminudeen said. “They were inviting people from different places to participate in acts that go against the teachings of Islam and undermine the spiritual benefits of Ramadan.” The statement added that the teenagers had even referenced the Hisbah and its leadership in their invitations, showing blatant disrespect. Aminudeen noted that the youths appeared inexperienced and lacked proper understanding of Islam and life. “They did not fully grasp the religion, proper conduct, or meaningful guidance,” he said. The Board intends to keep the boys under supervision, providing religious education and mentorship to teach them prayer, good character, responsibility, and productive ways to spend their time. “Simply taking them to court or imprisoning them may not help,” Aminudeen added. This approach reflects the Board’s focus on guiding youths toward responsible behavior rather than solely punishing them.

Wale busari01 mins

Nigerian singer Timaya has sparked debate online after a video showed him giving candid relationship advice, suggesting it may be better to have children outside marriage than rush into tying the knot.

This marriage thing no dey work,” he said, drawing laughter from those present. The statement has since stirred mixed reactions on social media, with some criticising him for downplaying marriage, while others defended his view as a reflection of personal experience.

UNILAG Says ASUU Strike Announcement Ignored Required Procedures

Wale busari03 mins

The University of Lagos has criticised its local branch of the Academic Staff Union of Universities for declaring a strike without observing the laid-down procedures. Lecturers under the ASUU UNILAG chapter had, during a congress on Tuesday, resolved to begin an industrial action from Wednesday. The union said the decision was taken because members had not received the complete payment of their January and February salaries. According to the union, the payments made did not include the full Consolidated Salary Structure for Academics, the Consolidated Academic Tools Allowance and the Professorial Allowance owed to staff. The chairman of the chapter, Prof. Idou Keinde, stated that lecturers would stay away from their duties until the outstanding entitlements are fully settled. However, reacting to the announcement, the university’s management said the union did not follow the required process before declaring the action. The institution’s Head of Communication, Adejoke Alaga-Ibraheem, said the university remains committed to staff welfare and has continued discussions with ASUU leaders to resolve the issues raised, particularly those relating to unpaid Consolidated Academic Teaching Allowances. “Management observes that due process was not followed in making this declaration. Nevertheless, discussions with the ASUU Executive are ongoing to address all issues.” The university also assured students that examinations already scheduled would continue on Wednesday as planned to avoid disrupting the academic calendar. It explained that academic activities must continue at this critical stage of the semester, especially as students are preparing for internships, the Students’ Industrial Work Experience Scheme and Law School admission processes. Management added that examinations earlier postponed in some courses have been rearranged, while all remaining papers will resume from Thursday, March 12, 2026. Students and staff were urged to remain calm while negotiations with the union continue in hopes of reaching a resolution soon.

Rapper, Balendra Shah Set To Become Nepal’s Prime Minister After Election Landslide

Wale busari04 mins

Nepal is close to completing the counting of votes from its parliamentary elections, with about two percent of ballots still left to be tallied. Early results indicate that the centrist Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), led by rapper-turned-politician Balendra Shah, is heading for a sweeping victory. Shah, 35, who rose to prominence after serving as mayor of the capital city, Kathmandu, is now widely expected to become Nepal’s next prime minister, marking one of the most remarkable political turnarounds in the country’s recent history. The March 5 election was the first national vote since youth-led anti-corruption protests last September turned violent and forced the collapse of the previous government. In a major upset, Shah defeated former four-time prime minister KP Sharma Oli in his own constituency. Oli’s Marxist-led government had been removed during the unrest last year. Throughout the campaign period, videos showing voters mimicking Shah’s dance moves went viral on social media, adding to his unconventional but popular campaign style. The election was held to fill the 275 seats in Nepal’s House of Representatives, the lower chamber of parliament. Of these, 165 members are elected directly while the remaining 110 are chosen through proportional representation. Official results show that RSP secured 125 out of the 165 seats decided through direct voting. In the proportional representation category, the party also holds the largest share of votes, with about 200,000 ballots yet to be counted. “We are close to finishing the counting now,” Election Commission spokesman Narayan Prasad Bhattarai told AFP. “We will have the final number of PR seats soon.” If the current trend holds, RSP could win around 176 seats in total, giving it a strong majority but still slightly short of the 183 seats required for a supermajority in parliament. Final seat allocations may still shift slightly depending on how votes for smaller parties that fail to reach the required threshold are handled. According to constitutional law expert Bipin Adhikari, Nepal may still need more than a week before a new prime minister is officially appointed. “Once the commission submits its report to the president, he will call on RSP lawmakers to name the prime ministerial candidate. Only after that will his appointment take place,” said Adhikari, a professor at Kathmandu University. Meanwhile, Nepali Congress, the largest party in the previous parliament, won 18 seats in the direct elections, while the Marxist party led by Oli secured nine seats.
