His death marked the end of a life filled with service and dedication to peace.

Obasanjo, who had a long-standing friendship with Carter, expressed his deep admiration for the former president through a statement issued by his media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, announcing the service.

Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has spoken about what he considers one of the country’s biggest problems, stating that many Nigerians are worried about government taxation, insecurity, and the increasing rate of kidnappings for ransom.

He lamented the situation and criticized the government, arguing that these issues have become deeply rooted and that there appears to be no lasting solution in sight.
