The US Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins, confirmed on Friday that the United States is importing eggs from Turkey and South Korea to address a shortage caused by avian flu, which has driven up prices nationwide.

Rollins stated that shipments from Turkey and South Korea have already started, adding that the White House is also negotiating with other countries to temporarily source more eggs.

“We’re talking about hundreds of millions of eggs in the short term,” Rollins said. The sharp rise in egg prices stems from several bird flu outbreaks that have forced American farmers to cull at least 30 million birds, tightening supply.

Egg prices became a hot topic during last year’s presidential campaign, with Donald Trump using the issue to highlight frustrations over the rising cost of essential goods under Joe Biden’s administration. After returning to the White House in January, Trump tasked Rollins with finding ways to boost the egg supply and bring down prices.

Since then, American interest in foreign eggs has increased. Poultry associations in Poland and Lithuania confirmed that US diplomats had reached out, exploring options for fresh egg imports. Katarzyna Gawronska, Director of Poland’s National Chamber of Poultry and Feed Producers, noted that egg shortages are affecting several countries.

According to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), wholesale egg prices have dropped by nearly 50% since late February, suggesting that consumer prices may soon follow. The USDA accredited its strategy for the positive trend. Rollins mentioned that egg imports will stop once US poultry farmers can stabilize production and meet demand.

Former presidential aide Reno Omokri has shared his advice on how President Bola Tinubu should handle Peter Obi and the Obidient Movement. Omokri suggests that instead of engaging with their negativity, Tinubu’s government should focus on highlighting its achievements and ongoing projects to outshine the critics.

Writing on X, Omokri emphasized the visible progress happening across Nigeria, especially in Abuja and Lagos. He pointed to major infrastructure projects like the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, which is being built simultaneously from both ends, as well as the reconstruction of the Ile-Ife to Sokoto-Badagry Expressway and the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway.

“There’s development happening everywhere,” Omokri said. “The government should use every platform—TV, radio, print, social media—to showcase these efforts.” He also took a swipe at Obi’s supporters, saying, “While they praise leaders like Traoré, who hasn’t even reached the level of a local council chairman in Lagos, they criticize Nigeria harshly. Just the Third Mainland Bridge alone is worth half of Burkina Faso’s GDP.”

Omokri concluded by suggesting that if Obidients have nothing positive to say about Nigeria, perhaps they should consider moving to Burkina Faso.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has said the 2027 elections will be a clear judgment on President Bola Tinubu’s time in office, calling it a referendum on his leadership. Atiku’s media adviser, Paul Ibe, made this known on Monday while reacting to claims from the ruling APC, which accused Atiku of trying to rebuild the opposition for selfish reasons and to access public funds.

Ibe dismissed the accusations, saying Atiku’s mission is rooted in the hopes of everyday Nigerians who want a better future. “These people clearly weren’t ready to govern. All they do is play politics,” Ibe said. “They’ve worked hard, not to move Nigeria forward, but to stall any real progress. Their actions go against everything democracy stands for.”

He also criticized the Tinubu administration’s performance, pointing to a major road project where only 30 kilometres have been completed out of a planned 700 in two years. “They threw a party to celebrate just 4% of the project. Can you imagine? The money wasted on that celebration could’ve done more for the road itself,” he said.

Ibe went on to highlight the worsening conditions in Nigeria, noting the country now ranks as the poverty capital of the world and leads Africa in child malnutrition. He defended Atiku’s record, saying the former VP’s work is inspired by the people, not personal ambition.

“Atiku built his name and businesses long before 1999. He has created jobs, invested his own money in his political journey, and never relied on state funds,” he added. He urged the APC to focus on fixing the country rather than constantly watching Atiku, adding that in 2027, it will be Tinubu against the rest of the nation.

Pastor William Kumuyi, the General Overseer of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, has opened up about how the death of his wife, Abiodun, in 2009 pushed him into what he describes as a mission of revenge against the devil. Speaking during the Global Workers’ Conference, Kumuyi revealed that he received the heartbreaking news just after preaching at Faith Clinic.

He believes the devil struck while he was away from home. Since then, he said his response has been to take the gospel even further, using his ministry to fight back. In his words, the next chapter of his calling has been all about “revenge.”

Since her passing, Kumuyi has intensified his efforts, traveling across nearly every local government in Nigeria, reaching all African nations, and visiting continents around the world. He remarried in 2010, but says his wife’s death marked a turning point in how far and wide he spreads the gospel.
