Nigerian award-winning rapper, Chibuzor Nelson Azubuike, popularly known as Phyno, has expressed his views on the trend of relocating elderly parents to retirement homes or residential care facilities abroad.
Speaking in a recent podcast, the rapper said: “We don’t put our dads in retirement homes in Africa. I know where I come from, and I know how we treat our fathers. I wouldn’t put my dad in a retirement home, even if he was here (abroad). I would rather find a way around it.
Here in the Western world, when you put your dads in retirement homes, you pay for it, right? In Africa, we would rather pay people to look after him at home than put him in a facility with others. That’s not how it works, and it never will.”

The minister of water resources and sanitation, Joseph Utsev, has said that Nigeria needs 11.6 million additional toilets to meet its open defecation free (ODF) target by 2030.
Speaking with journalists in Abuja on Friday, Utsev said that to reach the ODF target, Nigeria requires an annual budget of N10 billion, but only half the amount has been allocated.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the minister said: “The challenge is not only the number of toilets available but also raising awareness and encouraging their consistent use.
This is why we are elevating the campaign to a higher level. The Vice President will lead the relaunch of our strategy in a more impactful way.”

The immediate past Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa, says he knows the people behind his probe by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
The EFCC is probing Okowa, who was a two-term governor, over an alleged diversion of the sum of N1.3 trillion.
However, speaking at his residence in Asaba, the ex-governor described the allegations made against him as malicious and politically motivated, adding that some individuals were attempting to distort facts to serve their interests.
“In politics, there are many things one must face, but it’s unfortunate when baseless accusations are presented to the media.
To claim that someone could misappropriate such an amount implies that they would need to take N16 to N20 billion monthly for 96 months.
This is not just unreasonable; it’s a deliberate attempt to mislead.
I am not afraid of any investigation and will not stop the EFCC from carrying out its duties. Unlike others who seek court orders to obstruct investigations, I believe in transparency.
However, the public deserves accurate information, not fabrications by certain individuals,” he said.

A 33-year-old Nigerian man, Babatunde Francis Ayeni, has been sentenced to 10 years in a U.S. federal prison for his involvement in a large-scale cyber fraud conspiracy.
The scheme, which targeted over 400 individuals across the United States, resulted in a collective loss of nearly $20 million.
The U.S. Attorney’s office in a statement said court documents and testimony revealed the convict was involved in a sophisticated business e-mail compromise scheme targeting real estate transactions in the United States.
Ayeni, who was based in the UK at the time of his arrest, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud in April, 2024.
According to the statement, “The conspiracy was carried out by individuals operating out of Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates
To carry out this scheme, conspirators sent phishing e-mails containing attachments and links embedded with malicious code to title companies, real estate agents, and real estate attorneys across the United States.
If an employee at a targeted real estate business clicked on the malicious link or attachment, they were prompted to enter their e-mail account login information. [SWIPE]
