  It's becoming the MAGA midterms -- with or without  former President Donald Trump . Sixteen months after leaving office, he's unquestionably still  the figurehead of the red-hatted "Make America Great Again" brigades , but talented messengers running in this year's midterm elections have sometimes been more effective in articulating that brand and where it is headed. Trump is now facing a fresh test: not only whether he can vault  his endorsed primary candidates  to victory, but also whether he can maintain control of the movement he started as some candidates he spurned are claiming the MAGA label anyway and as his loyalists reject his chosen candidates. The former President is sprinkling primary endorsements like springtime blossoms as he seeks to prove his power before a possible 2024 White House race. Rival Republican candidates are feuding over who truly epitomizes the "America First" mantle regardless of who the former President has backed. And P...

  The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has revealed why it is yet to release the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination results. JAMB Registrar/Chief Executive, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, speaking on Tuesday said the reason is because of some internal appraisal. According to him, JAMB wouldn’t want to release results because it had asked people to submit reports, particularly of malpractices. Oloyede stated these in an interview in Abuja during a meeting of the National Youth Service Corps management and with Registrars of Corps Producing Institutions in Nigeria. He said, “Yes, we have no reason not to release the results but we are also doing some internal appraisal. One, we don’t want this situation where you release results and you start to withdraw some; so we have asked people to submit reports, particularly of malpractices. “And for the first day after the result was ready, we now scrutinized and we saw that about 40 per cent of the report were not in. So, why release 6...

  Music has placed Nigeria on the global map and if you ask me, I will say that the music industry has fostered more beneficial international relations than any other sector in the country. The industry which is made up of Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba and other ethnic groups in Nigeria, has employed about one million young people and with the right investment, the industry will employ more youths than any other sector in the country. It has taken huge Nigerian youth off the streets The music industry  employs managers, producers, song writers, videographers, photographers, sound engineers, instrumentalists   and so on. For example, Nigeria’s music revenue grew from about 36 million dollars in 2014 to 60 million dollars in 2020 and projected to generate 86 million dollars, that is about N23.3 billion in 2022. The industry has given those with passion and drive for music a means of livelihood across the music value chain. There is no monopoly in the Nigeria music industry, everyone ...
