They condemned the IPOB's forced occupation of the area, saying it was ordered by those in foreign countries who were unaware of the peoples suffering. The meeting agreed with the governors of the south-east and all the people of the regiin, to ensure that the directives are disregarded and the people resume their normal activities.

The meeting agreed to deploy the Ebubeagu regional security force in all the south-eastern states before the end of 2021

The meeting also received a report from the Igbo Association (Ohaneze) on the issues facing the South-East to review and implement the report in consultation with the Federal Government.

Regional leaders agreed at the meeting to support the Anambra up coming gubernatorial election and work with security officials to ensure a peaceful election.

The conference urged traditional rulers and religious leaders, including the Christian Association of Nigeria, to continue dialogue with the region's youth.

Iran seeks talks with us after threat of attack – Trump

U.S. President Donald Trump has said that Iranian authorities have contacted the United States to seek talks, following his threat to take military action over the killing of protesters in the country. Trump made the statement while speaking to journalists, saying that a meeting between the two sides has already been planned, but that the United States might take some action before the meeting takes place. Meanwhile, a human rights organization in Iran says it has confirmed the deaths of nearly 500 people since the outbreak of the protests. Likewise, some circulating video clips show a site outside Iran where bodies are being kept, with people going there to search for the remains of their relatives who have gone missing.

WHEN LIES GO VIRAL: DEFENDING TRUTH IN NIGERIA AND WEST AFRICA’S DIGITAL PUBLIC SPHERES

Across Nigeria and West Africa, digital technology has reshaped how citizens engage with information, governance, and public debate. Mobile phones and social media platforms have become dominant sources of news, especially for young people and communities with limited access to traditional media. While this transformation has expanded civic participation and freedom of expression, it has also intensified the spread of misinformation, posing serious risks to democracy, public health, and social cohesion. Misinformation is no longer a marginal problem. It is a structural challenge that affects elections, security, development communication, and trust in public institutions. Addressing it requires coordinated action that combines ethical journalism, media literacy, platform accountability, and evidence based policy responses. THE DIGITAL INFORMATION LANDSCAPE IN NIGERIA AND WEST AFRICA Nigeria is Africa’s most populous country and one of its most digitally active societies. So...

CBN Insists On Deadline Despite Court Order

The Central Bank of Nigeria CBN has insisted that its February 10th deadline for the validity of old naira notes still stands. The CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele, made the disclosure while briefing the diplomatic community at the ministry of foreign affairs in Abuja. The development comes despite the ex-parte order of the Supreme Court which restrained the federal government from implementing the February 10th deadline, pending the hearing of the matter on February 15th. Emefiele said the situation is substantially calming down since the commencement of over-the-counter payments to complement ATM disbursements and the use of super-agents. He added that there is no need to consider any shift from the deadline of February 10th.
