As a fashion writer, my inbox has been flooded with autumn trend forecasts full of suede. I’m talking suede tops, suede jackets, suede shoes…suede everything. I don’t know what it is, but something is telling me suede is going to be the biggest texture of fall. I can honestly understand why: Suede’s smooth, soft finish and deep earthy tones match the cozy vibes of the season. (Not to mention, this fabric was designed for layering.) Even if you aren’t a…

President Bola Tinubu has ordered the redesign and total reconstruction of the Benin-Agbor-Asaba road and other major federal highways across Edo State and adjoining corridors, as the Federal Government moves to tackle worsening road conditions that have disrupted transportation, damaged vehicles and increased the cost of doing business nationwide. The directive came on Tuesday as the Minister of Works, David Umahi, inspected the troubled Benin-Agbor-Asaba road in Edo State, while the Minister of State for Works, Bello Goronyo, visited the Ifaki-Oye-Kabba and Efon-Iwaraja roads in Ekiti State, where motorists and residents have endured prolonged delays and hardship.

Nintendo didn’t design its Switch dock with travel in mind. Genki’s Covert Dock is a much smaller alternative my family has been using to connect our Switch to hotel TVs for years, but I’ve come to realize I much prefer having a stand for the console when using it this way. So when it came time to replace the Genki because Nintendo broke compatibility with the Switch 2, GuliKit’s updated travel dock seemed like a better fit for my needs. Like Nintendo’s, it provides a convenient place to perch the console while playing on a TV. It’s not perfect, but…

Josh Richards was initially wary about his former “BFFs” podcast cohost Dave Portnoy spilling the tea in his Cancel Me If You Can memoir. “I was [nervous] when I first heard that. I think I’m always nervous when I hear Dave’s talking about me or, like, tag[s] me in something because he just has that effect on people,” Richards, 24, exclusively told Us on Friday, July 31, while promoting the second season of “Read the Room,” his self-funded sketch comedy series. “But, I think it was all positive.” Portnoy, 49, released his nonfiction book, Cancel Me If You Can, last…

Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, has restated his pledge to restore petrol subsidy if elected president next year. Atiku restated his position in a post on X on Tuesday evening, in apparent response to criticisms that trailed his earlier pledge to restore the controversial petrol subsidy, removed by the Bola Tinubu administration. “On the question of subsidy, my position has not changed and will not change: I will restore it! A nation as blessed as ours has no business abandoning its citizens to hardship. Nigeria is rich enough to look after her own,” the former…

The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun State, Ladi Adebutu, has sought the prayers and support of traditionalists and elders in Egbaland ahead of the 2027 governorship election. Adebutu made the appeal on Tuesday when he visited the Oloje traditionalist community in Abeokuta as part of his engagements with stakeholders across the state. The PDP candidate, who was accompanied by members of his political team, assured the traditionalists that his administration, if elected, would promote accountability, peace and prudent management of public resources.

Danica McKellar surprised fans when she left Hallmark and switched over to competitor Great American Media — but for her, it wasn’t about leaving one network for another. It was more personal. “It’s so interesting because when I joined Great American … I would call it coincidental timing, but it was obviously divine timing,” McKellar, 51, exclusively told Us on August 14, while promoting her latest Great American Media project, The Greatest Christmas Gift. The actress, who moved networks in 2021, explained the real reason behind her Hallmark departure was an opportunity presented by former CEO Bill Abbott, who started…

Some members of the House of Representatives, operating under the banner of the Save Democracy Group (SDG), have criticised the composition of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council for the 2027 election, warning that the involvement of senior public officials could blur the line between government responsibilities and partisan politics. The group said that while political parties and individuals have the constitutional right to participate in political activities, public institutions must remain insulated from partisan interests. The lawmakers’ reaction followed the release of the APC Presidential Campaign Council on Saturday, 22 August, ahead of President Bola Tinubu’s bid…
