Biafra The Biafran War never disappeared from the national memory. It is important that we continue to remember that even after we fought a war for 30 months and a million people died, our problems remained unresolved. Those who fought the war and won the Biafrans actually believed that their sacrifices had built a new Nigeria. I don’t know which one is worse now.

The exit door is still open for Africa’s tech founders, but it is no longer leading to the places many once expected. From 2023 to 2025, more than 100 startup exits were recorded on the continent, about half of which were due to mergers and acquisitions, with few listings taking place and trade sales becoming the most reliable route to securing liquidity. This change is not just about quantity, but also about who buys it. These include local banks, carriers, insurance companies, and private equity firms. These companies already operate in these markets and understand the regulatory and political risks…

Abimbola, 27, who uses a fake name to avoid revealing his travel plans, applied for a U.S. tourist visa in August. After paying a non-refundable application fee of $185, four times Nigeria’s monthly minimum wage of 70,000 naira (about $46), Abimbola was surprised to find his visa denied due to “insufficient financial accounts”. “I understand that the U.S. government is doing everything possible to reduce immigration into its country,” Abimbola told Prism in a written response, but…

It wasn’t supposed to be like this. For at least two decades, Nigeria has been a team that has struggled with the weight of its own history and expectations, suffocated and exalted, and always seemed to be less than the sum of its parts. The effort was evident both when they won the tournament in 2013 and when they reached the finals in 2024. Nothing was easy for them. They are not the kind of team that can easily tie for the last 16.However, on the night of Fez’s foul, with rain seeping throughout the stadium, Nigeria, inspired by Ademola…
