South Africa: Nigerian returnees share tales of horror

The Air Peace flight that brought them touched down at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos about 10.30am on Thursday. They were the first set of returnees being brought back to the country following a wave of xenophobic attacks in the former apartheid enclave, in which unruly mobs, armed with dangerous weapons, unleashed hell on migrants, mostly Black Africans, especially Nigerians living in the country, claiming the foreigners were taking their jobs.

Checking nicotine and tobacco addiction

The negative consequences of tobacco use in Nigeria require immediate, proactive national intervention to check the menace. The World Tobacco Day serves as a critical reminder that nicotine addiction is tightening its grip on the nation’s youth. While Nigeria has established regulatory frameworks like the National Tobacco Control Act (NTCA), the enforcement remains weak. The rapid rise of new products like e-cigarettes and flavoured vapes presents a worrisome threat to public health. To safeguard its future, Nigeria must move from policy formulation to aggressive, uncompromising enforcement.
