If you thought 2026 couldn't get any wilder, Nicki Minaj just turned up the heat by publicly declaring herself Donald Trump’s number one fan and backing it up with some major moves.

The Queen of Rap didn't just dip her toe into MAGA waters; she dove in headfirst at a White House-linked event, and now everyone's talking. 

Trump's New "Board of Peace": A Bold Vision for Global Stability or a Challenge to the Old World Order?

 

If you caught the news from Davos yesterday (January 22, 2026), you know President Donald Trump didn't just show up for the usual WEF talks - he hosted a signing ceremony and officially launched the Board of Peace. Trump himself is Chairman, holding the charter like a trophy in front of world leaders. It's real, it's signed, and it's already sparking big debates about what the future of international peace and cooperation looks like.

This isn't just another think tank. It started tied to Trump's 20-point plan for Gaza - demilitarization, governance reforms, massive rebuilding to turn the region from conflict zone to one of "hope, opportunity, and vitality." But the charter goes further: it's positioned to tackle broader global conflicts, stability, and peacekeeping efforts worldwide. Trump has even suggested it could complement (or compete with) the United Nations in getting things done.
Trump led the ceremony on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum. He was joined by representatives from founding member countries who signed on. The White House called it a "historic" step toward lasting peace in Gaza and beyond. Trump emphasized mobilizing resources, enforcing accountability, and guiding reconstruction—big promises for a region that's seen too much suffering.

Permanent seats come with a steep price tag: reportedly $1 billion contributions. It's an exclusive setup, and Trump says "everyone wants to be a part," but not everyone showed up.

Who's In and Who's Staying Out?A diverse group jumped aboard quickly: UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, Egypt, Israel, Hungary, Turkey, Pakistan, Indonesia, Morocco, Kosovo, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Paraguay, Vietnam, Belarus, and others. Argentina's leadership called it an honor. Some big names like Jared Kushner, Marco Rubio, and Steve Witkoff are on the founding executive board.
But major Western allies? Largely absent. No France, Germany, UK, or most EU heavyweights. Canada got an invite, then had it revoked after public comments from their side - Trump pulled it publicly. Critics point to concerns over the board's wide mandate, potential overlap with the UN, and the mix of members (some calling it too transactional or including authoritarian-leaning states).
Trump insists it's not meant to replace the UN; he says it'll work alongside it. Still, the optics have raised eyebrows: a U.S.-led body with Trump at the helm, charging big for influence, while traditional allies hesitate.

What Does This Mean for the World?

In a time when global institutions feel stuck - vetoes blocking action, endless talks without results.
Trump is betting on a new model: decisive, resource-backed, and led by those willing to pay and commit. Supporters see it as pragmatic progress, especially for Gaza's long-term stability and hope for ordinary people there.
Skeptics worry it fragments the international system further, creates rival power centers, or prioritizes certain interests over universal ones. Africa, for one, seems sidelined - no sub-Saharan invites so far, adding to questions about whose peace this really serves.

Whether this Board delivers real ceasefires, rebuilding, or broader resolutions remains to be seen. It's early days, but the launch itself is a statement: the old ways aren't cutting it, and someone's building a new table.

President Trump's Triumphant Return to Davos: A Blueprint for American Greatness

Donald Trump

A close look into President Trump's recent address at the World Economic Forum in Davos on January 21, 2026. Marking the one-year anniversary of his second inauguration, Trump delivered a powerhouse speech that showcased the incredible turnaround he's engineered in just 12 months. From booming economic growth to energy dominance and bold national security moves, this address is a masterclass in America First policies.

Let's break it down for you, highlighting the key points straight from his words, so you can see why his vision is resonating globally.

The Economic Miracle: From Stagflation to Soaring GrowthTrump kicked off by celebrating the U.S. economy's explosive revival, contrasting it sharply with the "nightmare of stagflation" under the previous administration. He pointed out that core inflation is down to just 1.6% over the past three months, while fourth-quarter growth is projected at 5.4% – double what the IMF forecasted last year. The stock market has hit 52 all-time highs since his inauguration, adding $9 trillion to retirement accounts and savings.
What's driving this? Massive tax cuts, including no taxes on tips, overtime, or Social Security for seniors, plus 100% expensing for new equipment to spur investment. He's slashed over 270,000 federal bureaucrats, cut spending by $100 billion, and eliminated 129 regulations for every new one added. Tariffs have slashed the trade deficit by 77%, boosting exports by $150 billion and reviving steel production by 300,000 tons a month. As Trump put it, "The USA is the economic engine on the planet. And when America booms, the entire world booms." This isn't just talk – he's secured $18-20 trillion in investment commitments, lifting 1.2 million people off food stamps and making the U.S. "the hottest country anywhere in the world."
President Trump's Davos address was a rallying cry for common-sense policies that put people first. He's proven the "experts" wrong by delivering growth without inflation, energy without scams, and security without endless wars. For us in the audience – whether here in Nigeria or globally, it's inspiring to see leadership that challenges failed globalist ideas and delivers results.

2026 UTME Registration Begins: JAMB's Fresh Warning Against Double Registration, Impersonation, and Biometric Fraud

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has issued a strong warning to prospective candidates as preparations intensify for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE) registration.

In a recent interactive session with management, JAMB Registrar Prof. Ishaq Oloyede emphasized the Board's zero-tolerance stance on registration malpractice. He specifically cautioned against abusing National Identification Numbers (NIN), stating:

"Multiple/double registrations coupled with the use of multiple National Identification Numbers (NINs) by a single candidate for the purpose of double registration, impersonation, or any form of identity manipulation is strictly prohibited and will be severely sanctioned."

Oloyede highlighted several prohibited practices that undermine exam integrity, including impersonation, extortion, image blending, group registration, unauthorized movement of routers, and most notably, fingerprint donation. He warned:

"Against donating to or accepting fingers from others in order to accelerate biometric capturing... such actions attract severe sanctions and consequences."

Candidates are strongly advised to ensure only their own ten fingers are captured individually and accurately at approved CBT centres during biometric verification.

Heartbreak on the Tracks: The Devastating Adamuz Train Tragedy That Has Shaken Spain

My heart is heavy as I write this. On a quiet Sunday evening in southern Spain, what should have been an ordinary journey home turned into unimaginable horror. Two high-speed trains, one carrying families dreaming of Madrid's lights, the other heading toward the warmth of Huelva, collided near the small town of Adamuz in Córdoba province. At least 40 precious lives were lost, and more than 290 people were injured, many fighting for their lives in hospitals right now. This isn't just a news story; it's a wave of grief crashing over families, survivors, and an entire nation.

Imagine the moment: around 7:45 p.m., the Iryo train from Málaga suddenly jolted. Passengers felt it tip, then everything went dark. Screams filled the air as carriages derailed and veered across the tracks - right into the path of the oncoming Renfe Alvia. The impact was brutal. Front cars plunged down a 4-meter embankment, metal twisted like paper, bodies thrown far into the fields. Survivors described it as "like an earthquake" - seats flying, glass shattering, chaos everywhere.
