In what appears to be Nigeria’s most dramatic “return on investment” complaint yet, a man on Thursday stormed the All Progressives Congress (APC) national secretariat in Abuja with a message as blunt as it was unsettling: reward me or kill me. The protest, captured in a now-viral video, shows the visibly distressed man holding a placard and demanding recognition for what he described as his personal sacrifices during the party’s 2023 campaign. According to him, loyalty was not just emotional, it was financial, physical, and, ultimately, total.

In a dramatic escalation of Middle East tensions, the United States has joined Israel in launching coordinated strikes on three major Iranian nuclear facilities, including the fortified underground site at Fordow, as well as Natanz and Isfahan. The operation marks the most direct U.S. military action inside Iran in over a decade.
President Donald Trump, in a televised address, described the operation as “a complete success,” claiming that the targeted sites were “totally obliterated.”
The move comes just days after Israel initiated strikes following reports of renewed uranium enrichment activity by Iran. U.S. aircraft reportedly used bunker-buster bombs and cruise missiles to penetrate Iran’s deep underground installations.
⚠️ Risk of Wider Conflict
Iranian officials have condemned the attacks as an act of war and vowed retaliation. Analysts warn that the strikes could ignite a regional conflict, drawing in Iranian proxies like Hezbollah and the Houthis, and potentially targeting U.S. bases across the Middle East.
United Nations officials have called for restraint, urging all parties to return to diplomatic dialogue. However, early signs suggest a possible military escalation rather than de-escalation.
💬 Domestic and Legal Fallout
Critics within the U.S. are questioning the legality of the strike, citing the lack of congressional authorization and raising concerns over its potential to violate international law. The White House maintains the strikes were “preventative and justified.”
