  • The Trump administration is weighing a bold shake-up of U.S. diplomacy, with a plan that could shut down 10 embassies and 17 consulates around the world. According to a leaked State Department memo, the proposed cuts would dramatically shrink America's global diplomatic presence—especially in Africa, which faces the heaviest hit.

    Six African nations, including South Sudan, the Central African Republic, and Eritrea, are on the list for potential embassy closures. U.S. consulates in key cities like Douala, Cameroon, and Durban, South Africa, could also be shuttered. The move signals a significant shift in America’s engagement strategy on the international stage.

  • Publicist, Dave of Africa, Weighs in on Lagos State Assembly Crisis, Advises Rivers State on Political Engagement

    Port Harcourt-based publicist and media entrepreneur, Owudogu Tuetara Dave popularly known as Dave of Africa, has shared his thoughts on the ongoing political issues in the Lagos State House of Assembly. According to him, while the media has covered the developments extensively, public interest remains low, with Lagos residents showing little engagement in discussions or online debates.

    Dave of Africa pointed out that there have been very few press releases from youth groups or political organizations regarding the matter.

    He compared this to Rivers State, where political issues often spark widespread reactions, with multiple stakeholders, including activists and politicians, making public statements and amplifying the discourse.

    "This is why Lagos continues to appear as if nothing bad is happening, when in reality, many damaging things are taking place," he stated. "The lack of public outcry allows issues to be swept under the rug, creating an illusion of stability while serious problems persist."

    He further advised that Rivers State could learn from this approach. While it is important to hold leaders accountable, he noted that constantly over-amplifying political issues could work against the state's image and development.

    "Striking a balance is key. Rivers people must ensure that issues are addressed effectively without creating unnecessary panic or giving the state a negative reputation," he added.

    Dave of Africa’s perspective highlights a crucial difference in political engagement between the two states and raises questions about how public perception influences governance and accountability.
