The challenges faced by people living with blindness in Nigeria continue to raise questions about how much attention is given to their needs, and whether enough is being done to make life easier for them.

Beyond the challenges of living with blindness, many cases of vision impairment and blindness can be prevented or treated when detected early.

Military aircraft crashes in Nigeria have continued to raise concerns and renewed debate over aviation safety, the lives being lost, and whether enough is being done to prevent future tragedies.

The latest crash involving a Nigerian Air Force aircraft in Ondo State has brought the issue back into focus, coming against the backdrop of several military aircraft crashes and losses recorded over the years.

With dozens of lives lost in these incidents, questions are now being raised about aircraft maintenance, safety procedures, investigations, and how lessons from previous crashes are applied.

But what does Nigeria’s military aviation record tell us, and what needs to change to reduce the risks?

Today on Nigeria Daily, we are looking at Nigeria’s military aircraft crash record, the casualties recorded over the years, and what can be done to strengthen safety and prevent future tragedies.

With 100 days to the 2027 general election, preparations are already gathering momentum as the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, steps up efforts to get the country ready for another major electoral contest.

The commission says Nigeria’s voter register has now surpassed 103 million, while nationwide collection of Permanent Voter Cards, PVCs, is set to begin on October 9. INEC has also acquired 57,000 new Bimodal Voter Accreditation System, BVAS, machines as part of efforts to strengthen the electoral process.

But beyond the preparations by the electoral body, how ready are the political parties, the security agencies and, most importantly, the voters themselves?

Many Nigerians are finding it increasingly difficult to survive on just one source of income as the rising cost of rent, food, transport, healthcare and education continues to outpace salaries.

As a result, many workers are turning to side hustles not to build wealth, but simply to make ends meet.

So, can Nigerians still survive on one income, or has having a side hustle become a necessity rather than a choice?

With the 2027 general elections fast approaching, opposition parties are still exploring ways to work together and present a united challenge to the ruling party.

Nigeria is marking 66 years of independence, a journey that has seen the country grow in population, infrastructure, technology and institutions.

But despite these changes, many Nigerians continue to struggle with issues such as the rising cost of living, unemployment, insecurity and poor access to basic services.

A public affairs analyst recently described Nigeria’s experience as “quantitative expansion without quality,” raising questions about whether the country’s growth over the years has translated into meaningful improvements in the lives of its citizens.

Today on Nigeria Daily, we look at Nigeria at 66, what has changed since independence, what the country has achieved, and why growth has not always translated into a better quality of life for many Nigerians.

As families battle rising prices of food, transportation, rent and other basic needs, the call for higher salaries is also growing louder.

The Nigeria Labour Congress is backing a demand for a new minimum wage of ₦500,000, while some economists argue that any minimum wage below ₦200,000 is grossly inadequate given the current cost of living.

But as salaries increase, prices could also remain a major concern, raising the question of whether Nigerians need more money in their pockets or lower prices for the things they buy every day.

Today on Nigeria Daily, we look at whether the solution to Nigeria’s cost-of-living crisis is higher salaries, lower prices of goods and services, or both and what it means for Nigerian families and workers.

The Federal Government says Nigerians should begin to enjoy cheaper transportation from October 1 through CNG and electric-powered transport.
