  A local Nigerian food vendor, Amoke Oge, has recorded N2.3 billion in revenue after completing 500,000 deliveries on Chowdeck, one of the country’s leading food delivery platforms. This milestone marks a major achievement for both the vendor and the platform, reflecting the growing role of digital marketplaces in Nigeria’s food service sector. The figure is based on an average order value of N4,600, as reported by Chowdeck in a video shared on its official X (formerly Twitter) account. Chowdeck stated that “Amoke Oge,” owned by Hajia Amoke Odukoya, was among the first 100 vendors to join the platform, having onboarded about two to three years ago. “Amoke Oge just became the first woman-led business to hit 500,000 deliveries on Chowdeck — with an average order value of N4,600. We’ll let you do the math. To mark the milestone, our CEO Femi Aluko (@femi_aluks) showed up in person to congratulate her.” Source: https://nairametrics.com/2025/05/20/local-food-vendor-amoke-o...

  British-Nigerian boxing star Anthony Joshua has emerged richer than England football captain Harry Kane and heavyweight rival Tyson Fury as his net worth has soared to €232m, according to the newly published Sunday Times Rich List. The two-time heavyweight world champion has seen his earnings increase by a whopping €24m from €208m last year to €232m currently. Joshua has also been listed among the wealthiest under-40s in the UK, sitting in 24th place. Despite his impressive financial standing, Joshua isn’t the number one athlete on the Sunday Times’ list. That accolade belongs to golf star Rory McIlroy. The 36-year-old is worth a jaw-dropping €304m compared to his value of €263m a year ago. McIlroy’s earnings saw a huge spike last month after he finally got his hands on the Masters, and in doing so, achieved a career grand slam. The win saw him scoop €3.68m, which saw his total PGA Tour prize money go beyond €117m. Joshua’s rise on the rich list has seen him stay ahea...

  There is a proverb that says the value of the Catholic Church's assets is one of the mysteries of faith – a secret the institution has guarded for centuries. Getting an overall figure for the wealth of the Church, which represents the world's 1.4 billion Catholics, is a daunting task. But it’s still possible to figure out the amount of wealth the Church has accumulated. #PopeLeo #CatholicChurch #BBCAfrica Re: How Much Wealth Does The Catholic Church Have And Where Does It Come From? by God1000 ( m ): 4:3 Re: How Much Wealth Does The Catholic Church Have And Where Does It Come From? by God1000 ( m ): From my own findings, estimates of global Catholic Church assets range from hundreds of billions to potentially over a trillion dollars if everything is included. However, much of this wealth is tied up in institutions that serve religious, educational, and charitable purposes.

  Not few stakeholders in Kaduna State have continued to voice out their concerns over the alleged uneven disbursement of the $350m World Bank loan secured by the immediate past administration of the state under the leadership of ex-Governor Nasir El-Rufai. Said to be most hit by the alleged injustice occasioned by the uneven disbursement of the loan are 12 local government areas in the state. These council areas have been identified to be left in the lurch, years after the much-touted Urban Renewal Road projects initiated by the immediate past administration of ex-Governor Nasir El-Rufai took off. Arewa PUNCH investigations revealed that despite the continued repayment of the $350 million World Bank loan secured under El-Rufai’s government, not a single kilometre of road has been said to have been completed in the affected LGAs, some of which are among the poorest in the state. Field investigations and corroborated testimonies from community leaders and government i...

  Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has pledged to donate 99 per cent of his remaining wealth — estimated at over $100 billion — to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which he announced will cease operations by December 31, 2045. The decision accelerates the foundation’s original wind-down timeline, which was previously set for two decades after Gates’s death. The pledge marks one of the largest philanthropic commitments in modern history, likely second only to Warren Buffett’s plan to donate his $160 billion fortune, depending on market conditions. “It’s kind of thrilling to have that much to be able to put into these causes,” Gates said in an interview with the Associated Press. In a recent blog post, Gates wrote, “There are too many urgent problems to solve for me to hold onto resources that could be used to help people. That is why I have decided to give my money back to society much faster than I had originally planned.” According to Gates, the foundation...

  Kemi Badenoch, leader of the UK Conservative Party, has warned that sacking her or changing the party leader will not fix the Tories after their poor outing in the local elections held on May 1. Ms Badenoch made this statement after her party lost 674 council seats and control of 16 authorities, while the Nigel Farage-led Reform UK won 10 councils, gaining 677 councillors. “ Reform had a good night. We had a bad night. And what this shows for a lot of people who hoped that just changing leader again would fix everything is that that’s not going to be enough, ” Ms Badenoch told the BBC on Sunday. Ms Badenoch, who succeeded Rishi Sunak in November 2024 — about six months ago — said, “We tried that previously. And that brought us to a historic defeat.” The Tory leader said her party will come up with a plan to return to power but will not rush to sweet-talk the public just to win elections. “We are going to come out with the policies that people want to see, but what we a...

  A growing number of Nigerians who once sought opportunity and stability overseas are choosing to move back. Factors such as rising living costs abroad, family obligations and evolving career prospects at home all play a part. Many returnees cite professional opportunities driven by a booming tech and creative economy, improved ease of doing business and supportive government incentives. Others are motivated by cultural ties, healthcare accessibility and a desire to contribute directly to national development. Whether driven by personal, economic or social considerations, these returnees are reshaping Nigeria’s workforce and strengthening communities with the skills and experiences they’ve gained abroad (1) Rising cost of living and exchange-rate pressures Inflation and housing costs in major diaspora destinations have soared, reducing disposable income. At the same time currency fluctuations make remittances less valuable. Returning home allows many to leverage lower ...

  In a move that is set to redefine the face of broadcasting in Nigeria, TVC Communications has unveiled the country’s first set of Artificial Intelligence (AI) news anchors. The media company made this known in a press release on Wednesday night. This groundbreaking innovation, spearheaded by its flagship brand TVC News, introduces AI-driven bulletins in English, Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, and Pidgin.

  Fellow Nigerians, I have carefully watched a livestream which was done by one Sandra C Duru on facebook, on May 1st, 2025. The content of the livestream including the voice effect credited to me are entirely untrue, and most manipulated to serve Sandra Duru’s ulterior motive of playing the script of Senator Godswill Akpabio (who called 47 minutes into her during her live stream… see attached). To the best of my knowledge, those words used against Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, Dr. Abiola, FIDA and good Nigerians as “Gullible and Hungry”, Yoruba Government etc are crazy falsehood and did not emanate from the natural cause of any contact involving me. It was from recent research that I also found out that the person who now represents herself as Sandra Duru is the same person who operated as Prof. Mgbeke on Facebook. In the nearest of time, I will respond to the unfounded allegations made therein. Senator Natasha Akpoti - Uduaghan Kogi Central Meanwhile follow links bellow to unders...
