On February 18, CHI$OM posted on X about stepping back from pro-Palestine advocacy after commenters dismissed reports of violence against Nigerian Christians as fake. Nigeria leads global lists for Christian killings, with over 7,000 deaths in early 2025 from groups like Fulani militants and Boko Haram, though the government calls it general insecurity. The discussion highlights frustrations over selective attention, as Nigerians note more deaths locally than in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, while some defend pro-Palestine voices and urge focus on multiple causes.

Key Takeaway

CHI$OM shared how her support for Palestine faded when online voices called attacks on Nigerian Christians 'Zionist propaganda.' Her post struck a chord, drawing thousands who feel their pain gets overlooked.

In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court held that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not authorize presidential tariffs, invalidating Trump's broad levies on imports from many countries that had generated $130 billion. Trump brushed it off in a White House briefing, signing an executive order for a new 10% global tariff under the Trade Act of 1974—later raised to 15%—while calling critics like Hakeem Jeffries low IQ and praising dissenting justices. He urged Republicans to stick together amid private GOP relief over the decision and Democratic cheers for checking executive power, as refund lawsuits pile up ahead of midterms.

Key Takeaway

Hours after a Supreme Court smackdown on his global tariffs, President Trump turned to Truth Social to blast fellow Republicans as disloyal and demand they unite to win.

Veteran journalist Shahid Hashmi speculated in a PakPassion interview that Babar Azam's recent loose shots in T20 cricket might tie to unconfirmed family issues, like pressure from his parents to marry a cousin while he prefers someone else. Fans quickly criticized the comments as an invasion of privacy and poor journalism, with some mocking it as yet another excuse for the Pakistan star's slower strike rates. Despite the noise, Babar remains in Pakistan's preliminary T20 World Cup 2026 squad and has shone in the BBL this season, including two recent fifties among top run-scorers. Neither Babar nor the Pakistan Cricket Board has responded.

Key Takeaway

Babar Azam dazzled with an unbeaten 58 in the BBL opener, yet a journalist's speculation about family marriage pressure has drawn sharp backlash.

The Islamabad High Court on Tuesday restored pre-arrest bail for the couple in a PECA case over alleged inflammatory social media posts, overturning a lower court's cancellation for their failure to appear for cross-examination. Justice Muhammad Azam Khan ordered them to complete it within days and barred arrests meanwhile, hours after police invoked a 2023 FIR accusing them of attacking officers at a peaceful Baloch protest—which they call fabricated. Bar leaders formed a human cordon at their office to shield them, as supporters decried it as repression against defenders of marginalized groups, while critics cited procedural delays and promotion of proscribed narratives.

Key Takeaway

Human rights lawyers Imaan Zainab Mazari-Hazir and Hadi Ali Chattha walked into court fearing a trap, with police shadowing them even into restrooms.
