Gym-goers have shared countless stories of phones, water bottles, and headphones remaining untouched on benches, even when owners wander across the gym. Meanwhile, weights, plates, and machines disappear the moment someone turns away, as if gym equipment belongs to everyone.

A pull request for the Bitcoin Knots fork introduces Lua-based heuristics to score and reject spam in OP_RETURN transactions, countering techniques like Ordiknots that evade current filters. Proponents, including Knots maintainer Luke Dashjr, argue it helps preserve Bitcoin as a monetary network by addressing non-financial data payloads. Bitcoin Core contributor Peter Todd criticizes the proposal as enabling subjective censorship and potential centralization, similar to OFAC compliance issues. This development highlights the ongoing policy divide between Bitcoin Core's relaxed OP_RETURN limits and Knots' stricter spam controls, with Knots adoption at 15-20% of nodes.

The acquittal covers only these asset allegations; Kyari's separate drug trafficking case continues, with his defense starting March 16.

Femi Gbajabiamila, chief of staff to President Bola Tinubu, sent two letters on February 20, 2026, requesting promotions for three officers serving the president and five more attached to other politicians, praising their leadership and performance. Critics say this bypasses the independent Police Service Commission, which holds sole promotion authority under the 2001 Act, and favors elites over frontline officers like those recently killed fighting Boko Haram. A police source lamented that promotions are becoming the 'exclusive preserve of godfathers,' while online voices decried it as nepotism eroding public trust and police meritocracy.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Eight police officers guarding top politicians now face a push for fast-track promotions, stirring concerns over favoritism in Nigeria's security ranks.

Marketers pointed to data from a June 19 webinar showing Dangote sells fuel to foreign traders at N65 per liter less than locals, who then ship it to Togo's Lomé hub and re-import it to Nigeria—accounting for 70-80% of seaborne imports from March to May 2026. Dangote Refinery fired back, calling the claims false and noting contract bans on re-exports, high round-trip costs of US$68-90 per ton, and traceability measures that make it uneconomic. The uproar highlights ongoing tensions in Nigeria's shifting fuel market, where the refinery has slashed imports by 39% and made the country a net exporter, yet pump prices linger at N1,200-1,300 per liter amid recent price cuts to N1,176.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Nigerian fuel marketers stunned many by saying they buy Dangote Refinery petrol cheaper in Togo than straight from Lagos, even with shipping added on.
