From Abuja to Gombe: CONNYSA’s Fight Against Insecurity Spreads Nationwide

 The Director General of the Coalition of Nigerian Youth on Safety and Security Affairs (CONNYSA), Amb. Ade Mario, has reiterated the organization’s commitment to tackling insecurity and youth-related social vices across Nigeria through sustained sensitisation and community-based engagements. Speaking during the OrionTimes Podcast, Amb. Ade Mario lamented the poor level of civic orientation and public understanding of governance, stressing that stronger collaboration with the National Orientation Agency (NOA) is crucial in rebuilding trust between the government and citizens. “The level of orientation, sanitisation, and awareness about what governance truly means is still poor. That is exactly where the National Orientation Agency needs to come in,” he stated. The CONNYSA DG noted that many government interventions often miss their target because leaders fail to engage communities and understand their pressing needs. According to him, governance can only become impactful when leade...

G7 Leaders Agreed To Give Ukraine $50 Billion Loan

 




At the G7 summit in Italy, the member countries agreed on a plan to give Ukraine a $50 billion loan to help it buy weapons and begin to rebuild damaged infrastructure. 



The new loan comes at a crucial moment in the war, when Russia has the momentum on the battlefield.



The loan is expected to be repaid using interest earned on nearly $300 billion in frozen Russian assets, which are mostly in European banks. Janet Yellen, the U.S. Treasury secretary, explained how the loan will work.



President Biden also signed a 10-year security pact with Ukraine’s government, to show a long-term U.S. commitment to the country. It’s designed to be a bridge to Ukraine’s membership in NATO. 



Japan signed a 10-year security agreement with Ukraine as well, which included a pledge of $4.5 billion.


Separately, NATO’s defense chiefs gathered yesterday in Brussels to pledge additional weapons to Kyiv. They also met to prepare long-term military commitments to be announced next month at a summit in Washington. One boost for Ukraine: an agreement that Hungary would not contribute to the military alliance’s war effort — but also would not block it.


Biden’s angle: The security agreement is the president’s latest effort to persuade allies that the U.S. will continue backing Ukraine even if Donald Trump wins the presidency this fall. But the agreement could prove fleeting — it contains a provision that allows either side to terminate it with six months’ notice.


More on the G7: Most leaders arrived at the summit beleaguered, embattled or endangered. Many of them are facing elections that may weaken their positions.

BREAKING: Esa-Oke Youths Reunite as Survivors, Caution Pelumi against revisionism

....we’re not your campaign slogan Once upon a glorious, chaotic 2017, practically every able-bodied youth in Esa-Oke held honorary title in the land: Personal Assistant to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi. No interviews. No pay. Just passion, blind loyalty, and the stamina to chase him from one campaign ground to the next like a political body double. From Comrade Mainframe to Comrade Swiss, from Yinka Oba to the humble football boys who carried cones like national flags, we were there. We were the movement. Until, of course. Now in 2025, Barrister Pelumi, clearly inspired by a Netflix political drama is on a media tour telling anyone who’ll listen that he "settled everyone who worked for him." Settled who, please? Maybe in his dreams or in the metaverse. In the real world, the story’s a bit different. Those of us from Obokun, who hustled day and night, got exactly zero: no thank you, no handshake. Take Sami, now a former Ward 7 councillor, no thanks from Pelumi. Folusho? Aregbe...

Assassination Attempt: Police can’t deny what’s on their desk, says Amotekun boss

  The Corps Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps , High Chief Dr Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele , who is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital following an attempted assassination on his life on Monday, has strongly refuted the claims made by the Osun State Police Spokeperson regarding the incident. Reacting to the statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), who claimed that investigations had not commenced because the Commander had not provided evidence of the attack, the Amotekun boss expressed deep disappointment, labeling the police response as insensitive and misleading. "It is shocking that a police spokesperson would say there is no evidence of an attack when the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ota-Efun Division — the nearest jurisdiction to the incident — was immediately informed," the Commander said. "Officers from that division visited the scene the same night, assessed the damage, evacuated the vehicle, and advised me to seek ...
