Fourteen-year-old Fatima Jibril Kali was celebrating a milestone just days ago. Surrounded by family and friends, the SS1 student blew out her birthday candles with a bright smile, dreaming aloud of one day becoming a medical doctor like her father.

That innocent dream ended tragically inside her own home at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH) quarters. While quietly washing dishes, Fatima suddenly collapsed. Her panicked mother called for help, and her father — a doctor at the same hospital — rushed her to the emergency unit where he saves lives every day.

Doctors delivered the devastating news: a stray bullet had pierced her head.

The bullet, according to reports, was fired during a wedding celebration by members of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) in a nearby neighbourhood. Despite frantic efforts to save her, Fatima died minutes later.

Her uncle, Mohammed Jibril, recounted the family’s pain and the swift response that followed:

“Governor of Borno State, His Excellency Babagana Umara Zulum, came to us. He was very sad about that and he said he is going to take action on that. And I am delighted as from today they have already caught the people that did that. But it’s very unfortunate.”

The incident has renewed concerns over the reckless use of fi****ms during social gatherings. The Children’s Parliament Borno State Chapter demanded justice, with its president, Fatima Chiroma Zanna, stating:

“The act of firing live ammunition in a civilian environment, especially during social gatherings, poses great danger to innocent lives, particularly children.”

The Borno State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of five CJTF members in connection with the tragedy. Police warned that no one is permitted to discharge fi****ms in such gatherings and vowed that the perpetrators will face the full wrath of the law for illegal possession and the fatal consequences of their actions.

Fatima’s death stands as a heartbreaking reminder of how a single m

ATTENTION DEAR STUDENTS!

The attention of the Management of the University has been drawn to reactions following the recent adjustment of fees, which was necessitated by prevailing economic realities and the financial challenges being faced by institutions.

It is important to note that, this measure is not peculiar to our University, as similar adjustments have been implemented by other universities in varying forms.

Management acknowledges the concerns expressed by students and affirms that students have the right to express their opinions and air their grievances.

However, such expressions must be carried out responsibly, respectfully, and within the confines of the law and the University’s regulations.

The University Management will not tolerate the use of abusive language, inciting statements, or any form of communication online or otherwise, that targets principal officers, individuals or the institution in a manner capable of disrupting peace or exposing members of the University community to avoidable consequences, including arrests.

While peaceful and lawful engagement remains acceptable, any protest or action must strictly comply with the University’s established policies and the relevant laws of the land.

Any individual or group found acting contrary to these provisions will be appropriately sanctioned.

Management remains committed to dialogue and urges students to adopt constructive channels of communication in addressing their concerns, in the collective interest of maintaining peace, order, and academic stability within the University.

Please, be guided.

How's the new tax law a punishment for the masses? Most of those discussing the new tax laws are uninformed about them; they are merely following the crowd to make senseless noise.
Take a look at this and see if the poor will be taxed more or otherwise...

People are not paying attention. Dangote Refinery is not just a refinery it’s a global economic weapon.
If operations scale fully and Africa reduces fuel importation, Dangote Refinery could hit a $200 billion market cap by 2030.
This is Africa moving from consumption to production.
Watch this space.”

The joint session of the National Assembly received the 2026 budget of 58.18 trillion naira.

Of all the lengthy speeches, one line by Mr. President struck … “it’s not the size of the budget but the quanta of impact felt by Nigerians” .

Leaders must do better and citizens must demand accountability.

NIGERIA’S NEW TAX LAW — SIMPLE EXPLANATION
The new tax law applies to all individuals, not only salary earners. It covers government workers, private-sector employees, self-employed people, traders, and professionals.
Everyone is entitled to ₦800,000 tax-free per year. If your annual income or business profit is ₦800,000 or less, you pay no tax at all. The ₦800,000 is deducted once, then tax is applied to the remaining amount based on your income level.
After the ₦800,000 deduction, tax rates range from 15% to 25%, increasing as income increases. Lower earners pay less, while higher earners pay more.
For salary earners (PAYE), tax is deducted monthly by employers in both government and private organizations. For self-employed people and business owners, tax is calculated on profit, not total sales, after deducting business expenses like rent, fuel, transport, salaries, and tools.
Registered companies (Ltd) are taxed under a different law (Company Income Tax), but company owners and directors still pay personal income tax on salaries or dividends.
In summary: the new tax system is designed to protect low-income earners while ensuring that everyone who earns more contributes fairly, whether they work for government, private companies, or themselves.
