Travel / Checkout The Nigerian Passport's World Ranking And What It Means For Travelers by Afonjah: 8:38pm On Jul 25 |
The Nigerian passport has taken the 92nd spot in the global ranking, according to the Henley Passport Index, which assesses the number of destinations that can be visited without a prior visa. This marks the 10th consecutive year that Nigeria has maintained its low ranking.
The index, which uses International Air Transport Association (IATA) statistics and open-source data, reveals that Nigerian citizens can travel visa-free to only 45 countries out of 227 worldwide destinations. This is despite the country’s growing economy and increasing importance on the global stage.
Singapore has regained its position as the most powerful passport in the world, with its citizens having visa-free access to an impressive 195 destinations. France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Spain share second place with 192 visa-free destinations.
Nigerians can travel to a limited number of countries visa-free, including Ghana, Benin, Guinea, Kenya, Liberia, Maldives (Visa on Arrival), Niger, and Togo.
The country’s poor ranking is attributed to various factors, including security concerns and political instability in some regions.
In a move to foster travel between Nigeria and South Africa, the latter has introduced a five-year multiple-entry visa to migrants commuting for business . The “special provision” was announced by Bobby Moroe, Consul General of South Africa, during a recent meeting with Nigerian business leaders. This move aims to promote trade and economic cooperation between the two nations. Justwise nlfpmod Report Afrique

Family / Nigerians Donate ₦4.2M To Quadruplets Family by Afonjah: 1:33pm On Jul 24 |
Nigerians have contributed over N4.2m to the family of one Sodiq Olayode, whose wife, Abiodun, recently gave birth to a set of quadruplets.
A colleague of Olayode, identified as James shared the news on Wednesday.
James had written on Tuesday, “Fun fact: A colleague of mine who had two kids already said he should do it and add one more.
“Guess how many his wife gave birth to? Four at once (quadruplets). The man wan craze. Na so so lament for status every day.”
He further shared a screenshot of what he said was one of Olayode’s WhatsApp posts about the number of diapers used in a short period.
The post read, “105 pieces of diapers in 6 days. Haaa, mo gbe mo daran. E shanu mi eyin quadruplet yi.”
James’ post gained the attention of netizens, with some highlighting the challenges of raising young children.
By Wednesday, James stated that he had received permission from the couple to share the picture of the parents and the children, as well as Olayode’s bank account details, for those who had been asking.
He wrote, “I reached out to them yesterday for their permission to post their picture and that of the children, as well as his account details.
“Also, if you would love to send them diapers or anything else, kindly reach out to me. I will find a way to get it to them. Proper accountability would be done.”
Sharing further details, James stated that as of 9.42 a.m., Olayode had received N1,598,750, and some individuals had offered to give him baby items and diapers.
Sharing hourly updates alongside a screenshot, James revealed that, as of 10:03 a.m., Olayode had received N2,811,277.
“As of 11:03 am they have received N4,226,769. Husband and wife are both in awe. They are speechless. God is kind,” he added.
The Lagos State Government reported on July 7 that the state Health Management Agency recorded its first-ever quadruplets from Gbagada General Hospital under the State Social Health Insurance Plan, popularly known as “Ilera Eko.”
The quadruplets were said to have been born to Saka and Abiodun Olayode, who had been previously blessed with a child.
The Permanent Secretary of LASHMA, Dr. Emmanuella Zamba, also said that “LASHMA would ensure that the babies were enrolled in the scheme so that they could enjoy unhindered medical care.”
In an interview with Feelrightnewstv on Facebook, Sodiq stated that they had been blessed with a daughter before the arrival of the quadruplets (two boys and two girls).
He added that the quadruplets were born at eight months because the pregnancy was becoming “life-threatening.”
The couple also sought the assistance of the government to raise the children.

An Ekiti State High Court in Ado Ekiti has sentenced one Sunday Asere to 14 years Imprisonment for sexually assaulting a six-year-old girl.

In her statement to the police, the victim said, “I am a primary one pupil, l am living with my mother but my parents have separated.
“Uncle Sunday was our neighbour, anytime my mother was not at home, he would ask me to lie on the floor, he would remove my pants and insert his something in my virgina, l was feeling the pain anytime he did it.
“13th January, 2020, on the second day, my Daddy came to visit me in the school and I told him everything uncle Sunday has been doing to me. My father later went to report the case at the police station.”
To prove his case, the prosecutor, Kunle Shina Adeyemo called six witnesses and tendered statements of the defendant and medical report as exhibits.
The defendant presented his own defence through his counsel, Adedayo Adewumi. He called no witness.
Delivering his judgement, Justice Adekunle Adeleye held that the medical doctor after examination revealed likely sexual abuse but no evidence of penetration of the vagina. Daily Post 3 Likes
