  In a market crowded with accessories designed to decorate, Muse by SVC is creating pieces designed to be felt, remembered, and emotionally lived in. Most jewelry is sold as a finishing touch. An accessory added at the end of getting dressed. Beautiful, perhaps, but rarely personal enough to alter the way a woman feels once she puts it on. Muse by SVC is challenging that entire idea. Rather than creating jewelry centered only around trend cycles or commercial uniformity, the brand approaches each piece as emotional architecture. The focus is not simply how the jewelry looks, but how it transforms presence, memory, and self-perception. Every collection is built around storytelling, symbolism, texture, and intentional sourcing, allowing women to experience jewelry less as decoration and more as identity. That shift is precisely why the brand has begun resonating so strongly with women looking for something beyond conventional luxury. In an era where consumers are becoming increasing...

 Cash giveaways have become a major part of Nigeria’s digital culture, especially across social media, creator communities and online campaigns. But despite their popularity, distributing money to multiple people can still be stressful, time-consuming and disorganized. Supacash is looking to change that. The fintech platform has introduced a Giveaways feature that allows users to fund a giveaway once and let recipients claim their share directly themselves. Instead of manually sending money to dozens or hundreds of people one after another, Supacash simplifies the entire process into a more automated and scalable experience. The feature is part of Supacash’s broader ecosystem, which includes transfers, bill payments, group wallets and social saving tools designed around community-driven finance. The use cases for Giveaways go far beyond social media trends. Content creators can reward followers during campaigns or livestreams. Brands can run promotional activations more efficiently...

Published by Hofesh Homes Limited | Real Estate Intelligence Series The Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria is one of the most dynamic property markets on the African continent. Abuja is a planned city, governed by a comprehensive Master Plan, administered by the Federal Government, and administered through a centralised land registry that is, by Nigerian standards, highly sophisticated and publicly accessible. This combination of federal oversight, planned urban development, and centralised documentation means that Abuja property, acquired correctly, is among the most legally secure real estate investments available anywhere in Nigeria. The words "acquired correctly" carry the full weight of that sentence because the same system that makes Abuja property so secure also means that a transaction conducted without due diligence, without verifying the right things, in the right places, before any money changes hands, can leave a buyer holding a document that is worth considera...

 By Pronalytics If you run a business in Nigeria and nobody has told you about the e-invoicing mandate yet, this article is for you. Not because the information is new. The Nigeria Revenue Service published its implementation timeline in February 2026, signed by Executive Chairman Zacch Adedeji, and the rollout is already underway. But because in conversations with business owners across the country, Pronalytics keeps encountering the same reality: most founders and business owners have heard something about e-invoicing but have not yet connected it to their own operations, their own timeline, or their own risk. That gap is closing fast. And the cost of still being unprepared when it does is not a fine you can negotiate. It is a compliance failure that will show up in your financials, your relationships, and your reputation. Here is what you actually need to know. What the NRS E-Invoicing Mandate Actually Is The Nigeria Revenue Service is rolling out a mandatory E-Invoicing and Ele...

A 28-year-old Nigerian petroleum engineer, Uzoma JohnPaul Ajugwe, is drawing attention for research exploring a safer and more environmentally conscious approach to crude oil drilling, as conversations around sustainable oil production continue to grow within Nigeria’s energy sector. Ajugwe, alongside researchers from the Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO), developed a study focused on creating environmentally friendly oil-based drilling mud using plant-derived oils such as almond oil, castor oil, and groundnut oil as alternatives to conventional diesel-based drilling fluids commonly used during crude oil exploration. The research comes at a time when environmental accountability is becoming increasingly important within the global oil and gas industry. Across oil-producing nations, energy stakeholders are under growing pressure to reduce the environmental impact associated with extraction activities while maintaining operational efficiency. In Nigeria, those concerns rema...

 Former Amazon analyst, Olachi Gogo Achonwa, has officially launched Elchiztrixx, a business intelligence and data visualization startup designed to help Nigerian businesses transform raw data into clear, actionable insights. Achonwa, who previously worked with global tech giant Amazon in the United States, recently returned to Nigeria after participating in the company’s voluntary separation programme.

  Amid Rising Cyber Attacks on Nigeria's Institutions, SMSAM Systems Ltd launches a bespoke cybersecurity initiative knon as Project SecureNaija Project SecureNaija combines global standards ith a containment-first strategy mapped to NDPR, CBN, and NCC regulations As cyberattacks continue to target Nigeria’s financial services and payment infrastructure, one recurring observation has emerged: many organisations are operating with security frameworks that were not designed for local conditions. Industry experts note that while digital transformation has accelerated across Nigerian banking, fintech, and telecommunications sectors, cybersecurity maturity has not always kept pace. Recurring vulnerabilities include weak access controls, poor network segmentation, delayed threat detection, and reactive incident response structures. Globally, cybercrime damages are projected to reach $10.5 trillion annually, according to Cybersecurity Ventures. Across Africa, ransomware, credential theft, an...

  By Hala Jacob The Chief Executive Officer of DK Homes, Engr. Nnamdi Ngonadi, has described Lagos as “one big construction site,” citing the city’s growing population and persistent housing deficit as key drivers of demand in the real estate sector. “Lagos is one big construction site,” Ngonadi said. “Demand has always been higher than supply here, and that’s not changing anytime soon.” According to him, the opportunity in Lagos real estate is unlike anything else in Nigeria, noting that the market continues to expand despite its challenges. Lagos, with over 20 million people spread across about 3,500 square kilometers, currently faces a housing deficit of 3.4 million units, a gap that continues to widen yearly. Ngonadi, who is from Nnewi, Anambra State, studied Electrical Electronics Engineering, a background he said shaped his approach to development with a focus on structure and method. Before founding DK Homes, he was established in the mobile phone trade and also had involvem...

By Theresa Aisha Nigeria’s event industry has grown on the back of speed and resilience. Tight timelines, demanding clients, and high expectations have created a culture where professionals pride themselves on delivering under pressure. In many cases, this ability to “make things work” has become the standard. This culture has produced results. It has also created limitations. Across the industry, many businesses operate in what can be described as a hustle model. Work is secured through constant outreach. Execution relies on last-minute coordination. Growth is driven by effort rather than structure. While this approach can sustain early-stage businesses, it becomes difficult to maintain as demand increases. Architect and business strategist Theresa Aisha Mebitaghan, known as Tessie, believes the industry has reached a point where this model is no longer sufficient. “Hustle can get you started,” she says. “It cannot build a business that lasts.” The core issue is not talent. Nigerian e...
