So This Happened (EP 437) reviews: Nigerian passport ranks 181st in IziVisa index, with access to 24 destinations Nigeria’s passport has been ranked 181st out of 196 countries in the latest IziVisa Passport Ranking Index, with visa-free access to just 24 destinations. The report has renewed concerns about international travel opportunities for Nigerians, especially when compared with other African countries that rank ahead of Nigeria. The ranking also raises questions about the cost of obtaining a Nigerian passport, with current fees at ₦100,000 for a five-year, 32-page passport and ₦200,000 for a 10-year, 64-page version. Although rankings use different methodologies and Nigerians can access other destinations through visas on arrival or electronic visas, concerns remain about the country’s global mobility and diplomatic relationships. #SoThisHappened #NigerianPassport #IziVisa #Travel #NigeriaNews

So This Happened (EP 437) reviews: ‘Tinubu Must Go’ and ‘Tinubu Must Stay’ slogans fuel political debate Political debate is intensifying ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 presidential election, with “Tinubu Must Go” protesters and supporters campaigning for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election. Reports of arrests involving men wearing anti-Tinubu T-shirts in Borno have renewed concerns about political dissent, while the planned inauguration of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement headquarters signals continued mobilisation by supporters. Amid the competing campaigns, economic hardship and insecurity remain central issues for many Nigerians. As political activities gather momentum, voters are being encouraged to examine candidates’ policies, records and promises before making their decisions. #SoThisHappened #Tinubu #NigeriaPolitics #2027Elections #NigeriaNews

So This Happened (EP 437) reviews: Nigeria confirms Ebola case in Abuja Nigeria has confirmed its first Ebola case in about a decade after a woman who recently travelled to Uganda tested positive for the Bundibugyo strain in Abuja. The patient’s condition reportedly deteriorated into multiple organ failure, while health authorities identified 44 potential contacts and intensified efforts to contain the infection. The NCDC has activated its emergency response, including contact tracing, surveillance and infection prevention measures. Authorities are urging Nigerians to follow public health guidance, seek prompt medical attention after possible exposure and avoid spreading unverified information. #SoThisHappened #Ebola #NCDC #PublicHealth #NigeriaNews
