🇳🇬TINUBU'S 10-DAY WORKING VACATION IN EUROPE SPARKS DEBATE AT HOME

🇳🇬 TINUBU'S 10-DAY WORKING VACATION IN EUROPE SPARKS DEBATE AT HOME

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has embarked on a 10-day working vacation in France and the United Kingdom, a move that has once again stirred conversations across Nigeria. Since assuming office on May 29, 2023, Tinubu has made over 36 foreign trips, many of which have been linked to attracting investments, strengthening diplomatic ties, and engaging with global leaders. Supporters argue that these trips have put Nigeria back on the world map, with billions of dollars in pledges from international investors, and they see this vacation as a well-deserved break for a leader who has carried an intense workload since inauguration.

However, the announcement has not been met with universal applause. Critics believe the President spends too much time outside the country while Nigerians grapple with inflation, unemployment, and insecurity. To many, the optics of vacationing abroad send the wrong message at a time when ordinary citizens are struggling to meet basic needs. On social media, voices like financial analyst Kalu Aja have urged the President to set an example by holidaying in Nigeria, arguing that such a move would not only boost confidence but also demonstrate solidarity with the people.
This latest trip underscores a growing divide in public opinion. Some Nigerians view Tinubu’s frequent travels as strategic, bringing long-term benefits that will eventually transform the economy, while others are increasingly frustrated by the lack of visible results on the ground. For them, promises of foreign investment mean little until they translate into lower food prices, stable fuel supply, and more jobs.

Whether this vacation strengthens Nigeria’s global image or deepens public frustration remains to be seen. What is clear, however, is that every trip Tinubu takes is now being weighed against the urgent realities facing Nigerians at home.

POLITICAL STORM IN MADAGASCAR: PRESIDENT RAJOELINA DISSOLVES PARLIAMENT AMID RISING MILITARY TENSIONS

ANTANANARIVO, MADAGASCAR – OCTOBER 14, 2025. Madagascar has been plunged into deep political and military turmoil as President Andry Rajoelina dissolved the lower house of parliament following a series of dramatic events that have shaken the island nation. The move comes amid mounting protests, divisions within the armed forces, and reports that the President fled the country fearing for his life. The latest developments began when tensions escalated between Rajoelina’s government and sections of the military aligned with opposition figures. According to local sources, the elite military unit known as CAPSAT (Personnel and Administrative Services Corps of the Army) defected from government control and sided with anti-government demonstrators in the capital, Antananarivo. These soldiers reportedly occupied strategic locations, declaring that they were intervening to “restore order and democracy.” Facing growing unrest and loss of control over key state institutio...

TRUMP DEPLOYS NATIONAL GUARD TO CHICAGO AMID RISING UNREST

TRUMP DEPLOYS NATIONAL GUARD TO CHICAGO AMID RISING UNREST In a move that has sparked widespread debate across the United States, President Donald Trump has authorized the deployment of 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. The decision, according to the White House, comes in response to a series of violent protests, vandalism, and reported lawlessness that have gripped parts of the city in recent weeks. Administration officials say the deployment is aimed at restoring peace and protecting federal buildings, businesses, and citizens, but critics argue it marks another instance of federal overreach and political showmanship. The announcement was made late Saturday following a high-level security briefing at the White House. In his statement, Trump emphasized that the federal government “would not sit idly by while chaos and violence undermine public safety.” The president pointed to reports of shootings, looting, and clashes between demonstrators and police as justification ...
