National Orientation Agency Seeks Approval for New National Prayer
The National Orientation Agency (NOA) has announced its intention to seek approval for a new national prayer. However, the existing national pledge will remain valid and operational.
During the unveiling of the standardized version of the reintroduced national anthem in Abuja, NOA’s Director General, Lanre Issa-Onilu, clarified that the agency would follow official procedures to obtain approval for adopting a new national prayer.
The NOA’s values orientation programs, aligned with the Federal Government’s National Values Charter, aim to define the shared identity of Nigerian citizens, emphasizing the commitment of both leaders and followers.
In the standardized version of the reintroduced national anthem, only one word was changed. The word “and” in line five of the first stanza was corrected to “are,” resulting in the official line reading, “Nigerians all, are proud to serve”.

Politician and former President Olusegun Obasanjo speaks on Nigeria and shares that the possibility of Nigeria surviving another civil war is quite low.
He revealed that the issues that led to the Biafra War have not been resolved and that if another war breaks out, it will be much harder to resolve.
Reflecting on the civil war, he shared “The conditions that led to the Nigerian civil war years ago still remain unresolved.”
“I was involved in the civil war, but whenever people ask me about the Asaba massacre, I always tell them I cannot give details because Murtala Muhammed was responsible for operations in that area.”

Isaac Fayose Urges Tinubu to Increase Minimum Wage to ₦200,000
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose pleads with the government and President Tinubu that the minimum wage needs to be increased.
He shared that the current minimum wage of ₦70,000 is not enough considering the current state of the country and urged the government to increase it to ₦200,000.
“President Tinubu, have mercy on our people and increase the minimum wage to ₦200,000 now. I don’t think anyone can survive on the current ₦70,000 minimum wage. ₦70,000 is nothing. If we don’t solve the minimum wage problem, we can’t solve crime.”

Deji Adeyanju Faces Criticism Over Peter Obi Remarks
Human rights activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju has faced backlash after suggesting that opposition figures, including Peter Obi, could contribute to President Tinubu’s chances of re-election if opposition votes remain divided.
He stated “If Tinubu gets re-elected in 2027, blame Peter Obi and the other contractor-general. With all the insecurity and kidnapping in the country, they are the ones aggressively working for his second term by ensuring opposition votes are divided like they did in 2023.”
His comments sparked criticism from many Nigerians, who argued that Peter Obi is not the only opposition figure and should not be solely blamed for political divisions.
