Pope Francis Dies at 88 After Struggling With Illness
Pope Francis has passed away at the age of 88. This is according to an announcement from the Vatican. The pontiff, who had been battling a severe case of double pneumonia, died peacefully in his residence. It was confirmed in a statement shared via the Vatican’s official X account.
Cardinal Kevin Farrell broke the news on the Vatican’s TV channel. He said, “At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father.”
Born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, he was elected on March 13, 2013, becoming the first Latin American to lead the Roman Catholic Church. His papacy was marked by both admiration and criticism.
While many praised his humility and push for reforms, he often found himself at odds with conservatives over his approach to tradition, and progressives who expected more sweeping changes to the centuries-old institution.
Health unions declare a strike, and it is stated to begin on the 15th of November, 2025.
The health unions starting this strike are under the aegis of the Joint Health Sector Unions, JOHESU, and the Assembly of Healthcare Professional Associations, AHPA.
The reason for the strike is the health salary structure and as the poor working conditions and welfare.
China speaks on the latest issue between Nigeria and the United States. After Donald Trump declared plans to take action against what he called the “Christian genocide” in Nigeria, many have reacted and shared their opinions.
China expressed disagreement with Trump’s statement, saying that religion is not a strong reason to interfere in another country’s internal affairs.
The spokesperson representing China stated that the country “firmly opposes any nation using religion or human rights as an excuse to interfere in other countries’ internal affairs or threaten them with sanctions or force.”
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, spoke on Donald Trump’s threat to Nigeria regarding taking care of the Christian genocide.
The minister appeared as a guest on a TV program and spoke on the current situation, stating that politics has been taken too far.
The minister questioned the claims made, saying “It is an indictment that a government I am serving, anybody will allege that that government is supporting genocide, killing of Christians and I am still in that government.
This is politics taken too far. The Inspector General of Police is a Christian, the Director General of the Department of State Services is a Christian, the Chief of Defence (Staff) is a Christian.
Tell me how any right-thinking person will think that we will sit in a government and support the killing of our own people?”
