  Abuja —  Leader of the banned Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, will challenge the life-imprisonment ruling handed down by a Federal High Court in Abuja, his legal team has confirmed. The sentence followed his conviction on all seven terrorism-related charges filed by the federal government.  Justice James Omotosho delivered the verdict, sentencing Kanu to life imprisonment on five counts, 20 years on another, and a further five years without an option of a fine on the final count. The development, according to Kanu’s counsel, marks the beginning of an appeal process they believe “will not stand.”  In a detailed statement issued following the judgment, Kanu accused the government of forming a “fraudulent alliance” with the judiciary, alleging procedural violations including his extraordinary rendition from Kenya in 2021 without proper legal basis. He cited rulings of the Federal High Court and the Court of Appeal as demonstrating bias in his treatm...

  ‎Abuja — The protracted legal saga concerning Nnamdi Kanu took a decisive turn today as a Federal High Court in Abuja handed down a life sentence following his conviction on seven terrorism‑related charges.  ‎Presiding Judge James Omotosho ruled that Kanu’s actions—including incitement of violence and broadcast instructions issued through the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) network—constituted a serious threat to national security. Consequently, the court ordered concurrent life imprisonment and other substantial terms.  ‎Kanu’s legal team immediately declared their intention to appeal the verdict, raising significant questions about due process, jurisdiction, and regional tensions. The ruling, observers say, will have far‑reaching implications for separatist movements and the Nigerian legal system.   Read more : Life Term for Nnamdi Kanu: Appeals Process Begins Amid Procedural Claims   ‎

  ‎In a major development, Nigeria’s House of Representatives has directed the Federal Ministry of Education and WAEC to suspend the transition to computer‑based testing (CBT) for the 2026 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE). The directive signals a significant delay—no CBT will be introduced until at least 2030 ‎The decision followed a motion of urgent public importance raised by Kelechi Wogu, which expressed grave concern about students’ readiness. He raised low infrastructure levels, especially in rural areas, pointing out that many schools lack computers, reliable electricity, and qualified tech teachers.  ‎Why the Delay? ‎WAEC is expected to run the 2026 exam across roughly 25,500 schools. With the four‑month examination window and the requirement to cover multiple subjects—including practicals—the House argued the shift to CBT could lead to mass failure, stress and “depression and deaths of students.”    ‎As a result, the House asked t...

  As we move deeper towards 2026, high-school education is undergoing a major transformation. With new teaching methods, tech innovations and shifting student needs, the traditional classroom is evolving. Whether you’re a student, parent or educator, being aware of these trends can help you anticipate change and make the  most of what’s ahead.   1. Learning That Fits the Individual The one-size-fits-all model is fading fast. In 2026, many schools are embracing “ personalised learning ” — enabling students to move at their own pace, build on their strengths and get help in their weaker areas. Adaptive-learning tools , data-driven instruction and tailored lesson plans are making this possible.  2. Virtual & Hybrid Classrooms Are the New Normal Online education had momentum before, but now the hybrid model (mixing in-person and online) is gaining serious traction. Virtual classrooms extend the boundaries of the school, giving learners access to digital tools...

  Opening the cover of a book can unlock a world of adventures, imagination and rich language for your child. When you make reading together a joyful habit, you help them build strong vocabulary, develop speech and create meaningful time with you.  Just 10-15 minutes of reading each day is enough to spark interest and curiosity.  Here’s how you can help your child fall for books—step by step. 1. Begin from day one Even as a newborn, your baby is absorbing the sounds, rhythms and meaning of language. When you read aloud, point out pictures, talk about sounds, change your tone of voice, make it fun.  They’re not yet reading words—but they are learning to love the experience. The earlier reading becomes part of your interaction, the stronger the foundation. 2. Show by example Children are great imitators. If they see you enjoying books, turning pages, getting lost in a story, they’ll begin to understand reading is fun—not just a school task.  Making visits to the l...

Studying doesn’t have to feel like a slog. The truth is: your brain isn’t built to drag through hours of tedium—it responds best to pattern, reward and rhythm. By shifting how you approach study time, you can turn it from duty into something your brain actually enjoys. ‎Here are five simple, smart ways to do it. Try one today and see how your focus follows. ‎1. Study in Short Bursts, Not Endless Sessions    ‎Forget the idea that you must sit for three hours straight. Cognitive science shows our attention drops significantly after about 25–30 minutes. So use the Pomodoro Technique : study for 25 minutes, take a 5‑minute break; after four rounds, give yourself a longer break (15–20 minutes). That rhythm gives your brain permission to reset—and makes that “next block” easier to start.  ‎2. Turn Learning into a Game ‎The brain loves victory—even tiny ones. Set fun micro‑challenges: finish chapter one in 20 minutes, get 10 questions right in a row, or beat yesterday’s time. E...
