My eyes have seen the PC gaming promised land, and it’s a beautifully bright world without a shred of blurriness. It’s warm, it looks lovely, and it’s impeccably sharp. Also, it’s expensive as hell.I’ve dipped my toe in this world by testing a pre-production version of the upcoming Asus ROG Strix Scar 18, which was recently announced ahead of Computex 2026.

That’s the kind of effortless Hamptons energy that fashion people chase every single summer. This year, the linen dress selection is especially good. Think…
A former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, has said the alleged manipulation of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) primary election for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Senate seat highlights shortcomings within the party that must be addressed if it hopes to thrive as a credible opposition platform.

President Bola Tinubu (PHOTO CREDIT: X @aonanuga1956) Seeing how empires die, strongmen collapse and kingdoms go up in ruins, Yoruba seek to showcase the brevity of life. In this, they attempt to demonstrate that all life’s attainments are perishable. In metaphors of the masquerade festival and the morning dew that perches on leaves by sidewalks leading to the farm (enini), they bring out the certainty of finality very succinctly. In two short allegories, they perfectly capture the fleeting, short-lived nature of political influence and authority. So, they say, the yearly masquerade festival will soon come to an end and the son of the…

His advice falls within the politician’s reputation for frugality and fiscal discipline, a defining hallmark of his political identity. In a 2022 interview, Mr Obi was reputed to have said that he…

In a post on X on Sunday, Odinkalu said Omo-Agege could not have anticipated his current predicament when he was involved in the controversial removal of the Senate mace in 2018, an incident widely linked to the political tensions surrounding his support for the All Progressives Congress, APC. According to Odinkalu, Omo-Agege suffered multiple political losses within a week, including his exit from the APC and defeats in senatorial primary elections in two different…
