Résumé Complet

On Tuesday, National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula indefinitely suspended Kitutu Chache South MP Anthony Kibagendi after his Citizen TV comments accusing Parliament of being auctioned to the executive and naming Wetang'ula and Deputy Speaker Gladys Boss Shollei. Wetang'ula ruled the remarks brought the House into disrepute, barring Kibagendi from proceedings, precincts, committees, and his office until he provides evidence or a formal apology. The suspension highlights opposition frustrations over protest handling and government policies, with critics like Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna calling it evidence of shrinking democratic space.

Point Clé

MP Anthony Kibagendi called Parliament an 'appendage of State House' on live TV, and moments later, Speaker Moses Wetang'ula declared him a 'stranger in the House.'

Résumé Complet

During Saturday's 11th Access Bank Lagos City Marathon in Nigeria, thousands of recreational runners clashed at Eko Atlantic City over scarce finisher medals, causing injuries, fights, and black-market sales up to 10,000 naira.

Participants praised the event's energy but called for better crowd control amid past repeats, as Lagos aims for higher World Athletics status.

Résumé Complet

In 1983, Edineia de Souza Faria from Goiás slipped past guards at Brasília's Palácio do Planalto to give President Figueiredo her letter. He read it, embraced her warmly, and immediately ordered his staff to help her unemployed mother's family with housing, which records confirm they did. Archival footage resurfaced after 43 years, drawing praise for his compassion during Brazil's dictatorship end—though some note his regime's dark history of censorship and torture—while others contrast it with leaders today. Folklore ties the moment to a large housing project named for his mother, but no direct link exists.

Point Clé

A 12-year-old girl dodged security at the presidential palace and handed João Figueiredo a handwritten note asking for a house for her struggling mom. His eyes welled up as he hugged her tight right there on the ramp.

Résumé Complet

An online debate has erupted over the origins of the term 'Oyibo,' used in Nigerian languages to refer to white people or Europeans. Some claim it derives from the Yoruba word 'Oyinbo' and was adopted by Igbo speakers in the 19th century, citing S. Koelle's Polyglotta Africana where Igbo groups used 'Onyeọcha.' Others argue it is a longstanding Igbo word from early European trade contacts, with references to Itsekiri usage and Igbo terms like 'Beke,' leading to tribal exchanges and demands for pre-1700 evidence.
