Nigeria Daily

Every young Nigerian dreams of a better life—a stable job, a decent home and the chance to build a secure future.

But with rising living costs, unemployment and inflation, many say achieving those dreams is becoming increasingly difficult despite working hard. 

So, are young Nigerians truly living, or are they simply struggling to survive?

Join us on the episode of Nigeria Daily to find out.

Every election season, Nigerian politicians make sweeping promises of jobs, security, affordable living and economic growth to win voters' support. 

As campaigns for the 2027 general elections gather pace, many Nigerians, weighed down by years of economic hardship and unfulfilled pledges, are questioning whether those promises can still be believed.

 Today on Nigeria Daily, we ask: Should Nigerians still trust politicians' campaign promises?

Diphtheria continues to pose a threat to children across Nigeria, with the country recording more than 10,000 confirmed cases in 2026.

Behind the figures are families who have lost loved ones to a disease that can be prevented through vaccination.

Today on Nigeria Daily, we hear from Shafiyu Abdullahi, a father in Plateau State who lost his daughter, Hauwa Shafiyu, to diphtheria in just one week.

We also get an update on the situation in Kano and speak with a medical expert about the symptoms, treatment and prevention of the disease.

Opposition political parties in Nigeria have held a summit in Abuja to discuss how they can work together ahead of the 2027 elections.

The summit brought together representatives of six opposition parties, including the African Democratic Congress, ADC, the Allied Peoples Movement, APM, Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Peoples Redemption Party, PRP, and Social Democratic Party, SDP.

The meeting comes as opposition parties continue efforts to build a common front ahead of the 2027 elections, with proposals ranging from greater cooperation among the parties to working towards a possible common presidential candidate.

Today on Nigeria Daily, we look at what the opposition proposed at the summit, what the proposals mean, and whether they can actually translate into a united opposition ahead of the 2027 elections.

Every day, millions of Nigerians grapple with the high cost of transportation following the removal of fuel subsidy, making life even more difficult for many households. 

Now, with the Federal Government promising cheaper transport through CNG and electric vehicles from October 1, many are asking why the intervention is coming more than three years after subsidy removal and amid the 2027 election campaigns. 

In this episode of Nigeria Daily, we examine whether the promise will bring real relief or is simply another campaign-season pledge.

For years, football has been a source of national pride for Nigeria, but recent failures—including poor performances at major tournaments and missing out on the FIFA World Cup—have raised serious concerns about the administration of the game. 

The resignation of NFF President Ibrahim Gusau and other executives, alongside President Bola Tinubu's directive for comprehensive football reforms, has intensified calls for accountability and change. 

In this episode of Nigeria Daily, we ask: After Nigeria's Football Setbacks, What Must Change in Sports Administration?

Kidney disease is often associated with old age. But increasingly, concerns are being raised about younger Nigerians presenting with serious kidney problems.

With about 24 million Nigerians estimated to be living with chronic kidney disease, what could be putting young people at risk?

Could the indiscriminate use of painkillers, herbal preparations and untreated health conditions be contributing to the problem?

And how can young Nigerians protect their kidneys?

Today on Nigeria Daily, we are looking at why young Nigerians are developing kidney problems.

As reactions continue to trail former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s promise to restore fuel subsidy if elected president in 2027, the debate over the policy is once again gaining attention.

For many Nigerians, the idea of cheaper petrol sounds like welcome relief at a time when transportation, food and other living costs remain high.

But what would restoring fuel subsidy actually mean for the country’s economy?

How much would it cost the government, and where would the money come from?

And while cheaper petrol could provide immediate relief for Nigerians, would the policy be sustainable in the long run?

Today on Nigeria Daily, we are looking at what restoring fuel subsidy could mean for Nigerians.

Campaigns for Nigeria's 2027 presidential election are underway, with parties deploying billboards, media adverts and digital platforms to reach voters. 

However, opposition parties say rising political advertising costs are making it harder for smaller parties to compete, a claim the APC rejects. So, is the cost of campaigning creating an uneven playing field? 

Join us in this episode of Nigeria Daily as we examine the issue.

The Federal Government says the removal of petrol subsidy and the liberalisation of the foreign exchange market generated about ₦15.8 trillion in savings between June 2023 and December 2025, helping to fund infrastructure and other critical programmes.

Nearly three years later, however, many Nigerians say they are yet to see the benefits in their daily lives.
