Saudi Arabia’s 'sleeping prince' dies after …
Saudi royal Al-Waleed bin Khalid Al-Saud, known as "The Sleeping Prince", has passed away at 36, nearly 20 years after falling into a coma following a 2005 car accident in London. He was 15 at the time and suffered severe head injuries and brain haemorrhaging, requiring him to be on life support ever since. Despite doctors urging his family to consider ending treatment in 2015, his father, Prince Khalid bin Talal Al-Saud, steadfastly declined. A brief hope emerged in 2020 when a viral video showed Al-Waleed responding to verbal cues, but he never fully regained consciousness. Funeral rites are scheduled to begin on Sunday, with many expected to offer prayers

Tinubu Bought Your First Car After …
OPC leader Adesope refuted Asari-Dokubo's accusations that Yorubas and President Tinubu are betrayers, stating Dokubo doesn't represent the Ijaw people. Adesope highlighted Tinubu's past support for Dokubo, including financial assistance, and alleged Dokubo's anger stems from losing a pipeline surveillance contract to Tompolo. He accused Dokubo of being self-centered, power-hungry, and cautioned him against insulting the Yoruba, threatening to restrict his movement in Yorubaland. Adesope believes Dokubo's actions are immature and unstable, unfit to lead the Ijaw nation.

University of Maiduguri: Aggrieved Nigerians sign …
President Bola Tinubu's renaming of the University of Maiduguri after former President Muhammadu Buhari has sparked controversy. Critics question the legality, citing the university's establishment by an act of the National Assembly, requiring their consultation. A petition demanding a reversal has gained over 7,500 signatures, echoing past protests against renaming public facilities after political figures. While some in Borno support the change, citing Buhari's contributions to peace, others argue he is already adequately honored. Detractors also question his commitment to education, referencing lecturer strikes during his tenure. The petition emphasizes the university's long-standing identity and resilience, urging the president to honor Buhari through alternative means.
