Ondo will deliver massively for Tinubu, says Aiyedatiwa. Katsina says the same. So will everyone else for the next five months. Here is what the promise is actually worth.
A number worth stopping on. It is roughly eleven times the national minimum wage, for one person, every month, for medicine alone.
An offhand remark about dating that six outlets picked up. Underneath it is a fairly specific observation about Nigerian men, money and who feels entitled to approach whom.
Katsina's governor has welcomed NARTO and NURTW backing for the Tinubu ticket. Transport unions control roads, parks and a very large number of men who move for a living.
Donald Duke's charge is that the subsidy removal worked for the treasury and not for households. The inflation data released this month says something more complicated than either side wants.
Local government elections in Nigeria are decided before polling day more often than not, and the results usually confirm it. This one arrives in the middle of a national campaign.
Neche's exit adds a twist and eight housemates face eviction. Meanwhile the loudest Big Brother story of the week involves two people who left the house four years ago.

The claim went round after his re-election. It is not true, and the speed at which it spread says something about how Nigerian political rumour now works.
We cannot keep counting bodies, the NDC candidate said of the latest killings. The framing matters: a country not at war has fewer excuses for a casualty count than one that is.
Zacch Adedeji runs the Federal Inland Revenue Service. Melaye's objection is that a serving revenue chief has no business inside a partisan campaign structure, and on that narrow point he has a case.
Ten outlets carried it, and it is the most useful Osimhen story of the month, because unlike the transfer rumours it describes something that actually happened.
Donation limits and party finances, published, before the money moves. Nigeria has campaign finance rules. What it has never had is any way for a voter to check them.
Governor Okpebholo's aide has apologised over a ban on the singer performing in Edo. The apology is welcome. The instinct that produced the ban is the thing worth examining.
Days after more than 500 Nigerians offered spiritual treatment for Taiwo Hassan, his family says some of the interest is not what it looks like.
You have no house, and you owe Bella over N30m. That is a specific claim, made publicly, in a dispute that until now had been entirely about who said what.
