IYD 2025 with Felicia Gbuuka. This week, the IYD 2025 event in Abuja featured Felicia Gbuuka, a 34-year-old mother and farmer from Guma in Benue State, who has demonstrated exceptional diligence and tech expertise in her farming endeavors. As reported by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), Felicia launched her farming initiatives in 2016. Her maiden rice harvest in 2017 garnered over N600,000, facilitating the payment of university tuition fees and the acquisition of land in Makurdi. Felicia's remarkable achievements have inspired a multitude of individuals, and her influence continues to motivate numerous farmers. In September 2024, Heifer International invited her to share her insights at an event in Kigali.

Players on Nigeria's female basketball team will receive a cash reward of $100,000 each and a three-bedroom apartment following their win at the Fiba Women's AfroBasket Championship. That comes just weeks after Nigeria's women's football team, the Super Falcons, were promised a similar award after winning the Women's Africa Cup of Nations.President Bola Tinubu says the women are deserving of the recognition because they have inspired Nigerians to dream big and brought honour to the West African country. But reaction to the cash prize has been mixed, with some saying such rewards are unsustainable given the country's economic difficulties. Mansur Abubakar, a BBC reporter in Abuja, tells us about the government's promises and describes the apartments in more detail. We also get reactions from Nigerian basketball fans. And William from the What in the World team tells us about the various incentives — from cash to cows — that other countries have offered athletes.

®August 7, 2025 5:57 am Anambra is no doubt one of the states in Nigeria experiencing incessant and very high rates of kidnapping that in some cases do lead to the death of the abducted victims and killing of security operatives and some other persons around the scene of the mostly monetary crimes of hostage taking for a ransom, specifically, our crime reporters gathered that there is hardly no week without one or two persons being kidnapped along the Onitsha-Owerri Federal road in Anambra state, especially between Oba community and Ihiala town, as we gathered that, most victims of kidnapping in the state are hard working small and medium-sized business owners who most of whom struggled out of poverty to become wealthy successful traders, this, we learnt, there maybe no wealthy successful business owner along the Ihiala-Orlu road left to be kidnapped or forced to pay ransom to the kidnappers, while in Oba, wealthy people are being kidnapped quietly and ransom in millions are paid in silence to the kidnappers, according to members of the community, a young successful businessman was kidnapped recently at a location between the Oba New Road and Old Road junctions shortly after he visited his building construction site, while we also learnt that some people in the state do report or contract their friends to kidnappers just to get a share from the ransom that will be paid afterwards or when such people have issue or dispute with their friends or co-traders, it may interest you to know that, the Anambra State Police Command recently arrested a 24-year-old male suspect, Muanaenye Victor, for allegedly luring his friend to be kidnapped by his criminal gang in Uli, Ihiala local government area of the state and they reportedly collected a ransom in dollars equivalent to ₦5.3 million with his gang members, just as gunmen in a not too long distance time, abducted a lawyer and two other persons in Nkpologwu, Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra, in addition to previous cases of kidnapping of the owner of De Porsche Club, Chief Ebere Orji by unknown gunmen after the gunmen killed numbers of persons along the new Oba-Nnewi road in Idemili South Local government area of Anambra State, with the number of those killed at the Porsche Nightclub said to be seven but one of the security operatives was beheaded, and another had his foot cut off and made away with by the invading deadly kidnappers, this occurred shortly after, a well known native doctor or witch doctor, Chidozie Nwangwu a.k.a Akwa Okuko Tiwaraki was kidnapped, after his two personal aides killed in the vicinity of his hotel at Oba community before the kidnappers effortlessly took him away and was released after ransom in millions were reportedly paid, that not all, on May 21, 2022, shortly after Professor Chukwuma Soludo was sworn in as governor, gunmen abducted the lawmaker representing Aguata 2 Constituency in the state House of Assembly, Okechukwu Okoye, Okoye, also known as “Okey di okay”, represented Soludo's state constituency, Isuofia, Okoye was killed and beheaded alongside his aide, Cyril Chiegboka, six days after they were abducted along Aguluzigbo Road, Anaocha Local Government Area of the state, and their heads and bodies dumped along a roadside in the state, and in December 2024, another lawmaker in the state House of Assembly was kidnapped and killed, and the victim, the lifeless body of the member representing Onitsha North 1 Constituency in the Anambra State House of Assembly, Justice Azuka, was found along the 2nd Niger Bridge, with

On attendait le Sénégalais Bassirou Diomaye Faye. C'est finalement le Sierra-Léonais Julius Maada Bio qui a été choisi pour présider pendant un an la Cédéao, l'organisation sous-régionale de l'Afrique de l'Ouest. La décision a été prise dimanche, lors d'un sommet à Abuja, au Nigeria. Pourquoi ce choix ? Quelles seront les priorités de ce président africain qui, à la différence de beaucoup de ses pairs, a promis de ne pas se représenter pour un troisième mandat ? Le chercheur sénégalais Pape Ibrahima Kane est un spécialiste des questions régionales en Afrique. Il répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier.  RFI : C'est le Sénégalais Bassirou Diomaye Faye qui était fortement pressenti pour prendre la tête de la Cédéao au nom de l'alternance anglophone francophone. Mais finalement, c'est le Sierra-Léonais, Julius Maada Bio qui a été choisi. Pourquoi cette désignation surprise ? Bon, je sais que la Cédéao est dans une dynamique de négociation avec l'Alliance des États du Sahel, l'AES, un militaire parlant à des militaires, c'est peut-être une bonne méthode d'approche de la situation. D'autant plus qu'il y a beaucoup, beaucoup de méfiance entre la Cédéao et les États de l'AES. Ces éléments-là ont certainement dû jouer depuis un an. Les lignes commencent à bouger et il y a à peine dix jours qu'une réunion s'était tenue à Accra et qui avait réuni beaucoup, beaucoup d'acteurs, aussi bien des États de l'AES que des États de la Cédéao. Et les choses se sont très très très bien passées. Les lignes bougent. Rappelez-vous l'interview que le ministre des Affaires étrangères du Mali a récemment fait à une télévision togolaise. Mais l'approche était totalement différente de ce qu'il y avait il y a un an. Oui, dans cette interview, le ministre malien Abdoulaye Diop a déclaré que les trois États de l'AES entraient dans une phase d'apaisement et de réalisme avec la Cédéao. Il a appelé à la conclusion rapide d'un accord sur les questions commerciales et la libre circulation des personnes. Est-ce à dire que les trois États de l'AES veulent garder les avantages de la Cédéao tout en quittant l'organisation ? Tout à fait. Je pense que, avec la situation qui prévaut sur le terrain, notamment au plan sécuritaire et aussi au plan économique, les États de l'AES réalisent que les choses ne sont pas aussi faciles. Et je pense que la réunion qui s'est tenue à Bamako entre le président de la Commission et les ministres des Affaires étrangères a vraiment permis de déblayer le terrain. Et comme l'a dit le président Tinubu dans son discours, il pense que tôt ou tard, les trois pays reviendront dans la maison mère. Alors, vous l'avez dit, Julius Maada Bio est un ancien militaire putschiste qui s'est converti à la démocratie puisqu'il y a presque 30 ans, il a quitté volontairement le pouvoir, puis il a été élu deux fois démocratiquement et promet aujourd'hui de ne pas faire de troisièmes mandats. Est-ce à dire que sur les questions constitutionnelles, il sera vigilant avec les onze autres États membres de la Cédéao ? Il est obligé d'être vigilant parce qu'aujourd'hui, c'est lui qui est le gardien du respect de toutes les règles communautaires que la Cédéao s'est donnée en la matière. Vous avez rappelé qu'il a lui-même décidé de ne pas faire un troisième mandat et donc son rôle en tant que président en exercice, c'est de s'assurer au moins que la Cédéao respecte la démocratie et respecte les droits de l'homme. Et si, par exemple, Alassane Ouattara sollicite un quatrième mandat à la tête de la Côte d'Ivoire, est-ce que vous pensez que son homologue sierra-léonais fera une observation ? La communauté sera obligée de se prononcer sur cette question. Parce que si nous sommes là, c'est parce qu'un certain nombre de règles n'ont pas été respectées. C'est parce que beaucoup de présidents se sont donné la liberté de faire ce qu'ils voulaient. Maintenant, on va voir si Julius Maada Bio est le président de la Commission, M. Touré, vont être courageux pour mettre les dirigeants devant leurs responsabilités. Ce qui s'est passé au Togo, ces manipulations de constitution. Un président qui quitte le poste de président pour devenir Premier ministre, simplement pour rester au pouvoir, ce sont des choses qui ne doivent pas être acceptées dans une région. La Cédéao doit montrer cela aux dirigeants de manière à ce que le déficit de confiance qu'il y a entre la Cédéao et les populations, que ce déficit-là s'amenuise. Et si, contrairement à sa promesse initiale, le général Mamadi Doumbouya se présente à la future présidentielle en Guinée ? Est-ce que vous pensez que son voisin de Sierra Leone sortira le carton jaune ? Cette question ne relève pas seulement de la Cédéao, elle relève aussi de l'Union africaine. Si vous vous rappelez, il y a deux présidents militaires qui ont fait leur retour sur la scène africaine grâce à l'Union africaine. Il y a le président du Tchad qui a fait un coup d'État et qui maintenant est accueilli au sommet de l'UA. Vous avez le président du Gabon qui a fait un coup d'État et qui a été adoubé par ses pairs. Donc, ce n'est pas seulement une question de la Cédéao, c'est aussi une question de l'Union africaine. Il faut que l'on ferme définitivement l'ère des régimes militaires en refusant totalement cette civilisation des régimes militaires. Ce n'est pas dans l'intérêt des populations, ce n'est pas dans l'intérêt de l'Union africaine, ce n'est pas dans l'intérêt de la démocratie en Afrique.   À lire aussiCédéao: les défis qui attendent le nouveau président Julius Maada Bio
