  • 2023 ELECTIONS: Wike dismisses Peter Obi, labels him a ‘social media candidate’

    Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has explained why he chose not to support Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in the 2023 general elections.

    Speaking during a press briefing on Friday in Abuja, Wike dismissed Obi’s chances of winning the presidency, describing him as a “social media candidate” lacking the grassroots political structure necessary for electoral victory in Nigeria.

    “No, he has no chance to win the election,” Wike said emphatically. “I don’t go to where you see people like this kind of social media candidates. I don’t do social media candidate.”

    The former Rivers State Governor emphasized that electoral success in Nigeria is not solely determined by popularity or perceived competence, but by deep-rooted political networks and strategic alliances that resonate with the electorate beyond digital platforms.

    Wike’s comments reflect ongoing tensions and ideological divides within Nigeria’s political landscape, especially following a general election that saw heightened youth engagement and online activism. Many viewed Obi’s candidacy as a significant shift toward a younger, reform-oriented political movement, but critics like Wike argue that digital popularity cannot replace the realities of electoral politics.

    Wike’s remarks may reignite conversations around the evolving role of social media in Nigerian democracy and elections in the country, as well as whether traditional political structures remain the most effective path to power.

  • FG shuts Enugu Airport over bad runway

    The Federal Government has ordered the immediate closure of the Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu, Enugu State, to allow for emergency repairs on the facility’s runway. 

     

    The shutdown, confirmed by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), follows growing concerns about the safety of aircraft operations at the airport.

     

    The development comes shortly after Air Peace, one of Nigeria’s leading carriers operating in and out of Enugu, announced the suspension of all its flights to the airport. In a statement issued by Dr. Ejike Ndiulo, Head of Corporate Communications at Air Peace, the airline attributed the decision to the deteriorating condition of the runway, which has been causing repeated disruptions to flight schedules.

     

    “We regret to inform you that all flights scheduled to Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu are temporarily suspended due to safety concerns of the Enugu airport runway,” the statement read. “The situation of the Enugu runway has been causing major disruptions to Air Peace flights, hence the decision to temporarily suspend further flights into this airport until further notice. At Air Peace, we prioritize safety first over convenience.”

     

    Air Peace further disclosed that flights previously scheduled for Enugu will now operate in and out of the Asaba airport, assuring passengers of continued service while repairs are underway.

     

    FAAN, in its own statement signed by the Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Obiageli Orah, confirmed that the closure was prompted by a sudden and significant rupture in the asphalt surface at a critical section of the runway. She said emergency repairs will be carried out from April 22 to May 6, 2025.

     

    “In compliance with Nigerian civil aviation regulations, FAAN has, therefore, closed the runway during this period,” she noted. “As part of FAAN’s commitment to passenger safety and the modernisation of airport facilities, the runway will not be open for landings or takeoffs during the rehabilitation period.”

     

    The agency apologised for the short notice and appealed to stakeholders and travellers for understanding and cooperation during the closure. All flights scheduled for Enugu will be diverted to other nearby airports.

     

    This marks the second major closure of the Enugu airport in recent years. In 2019, the airport was shut down for an extended period and only reopened in September 2020 after extensive rehabilitation work. However, recent reports indicate that the runway has once again fallen into disrepair, with pilots reportedly experiencing hard landings due to its poor state.

  • How to Find the Easter Bunny Set Code in Dress to Impress

    One thing I love about Dress to Impress is the fun quests to get new costumes or accessories. With the Easter update, DTI added a fun quest to get a unique code to redeem the Easter Bunny Set. Similar to the Flamethrower Quest, you must complete an emoji hunt to get it. If you are struggling to find it, keep reading as we explain how to find the Easter Bunny Set code in Dress to Impress.

    Dress to Impress Easter Bunny Set Code Clue

    To get the Easter Bunny Set in Dress to Impress, first, you will need an emoji set clue. You will find a code at the end of the scavenger hunt, but it will be different than typical Dress to Impress codes. After a runway round is over, go toward the leaderboard and take note of the emoji mentioned at the top. Check the image we have attached below to understand how the emoji combination will look.

    After you note down the combination, you must find it scattered around the game. Just like the Flamethrower code in DTI, it will be in the dressing room, nail salon, or the post-round lobby. We have mentioned all the possible emoji locations and some clues to find them below. So, keep reading to know their whereabouts.

    Where to Find the Numbers for the DTI Easter Bunny Set Code

    Once you find the emojis from your combination, you can unveil your set. The emoji combination you find is your main Easter Bunny Set code in Dress to Impress. For example, if the combination is , with eggs being number 1, chocolates being number 2, and rainbow being number 3, the code will be 22311.

    Unfortunately, there is no exact location for the DTI Easter Bunny Set code emojis. Below, we have compiled all the common locations where you must find the emojis in the game.

    Once you complete compiling the emoji numbers, type the numbers in order in the code redeem option in Dress to Impress. To do that, simply click the ‘Codes’ button from the left menu in your game. And after you type the numbers, press the redeem button.

    Got your Easter Bunny Set? What accessories are you pairing with this cute dress in DTI? Do tell us in the comments.
