As of January 1st, the global population have reached a record 8.09 billion, increasing by over 71 million in 2024, according to estimates.

This 0.9% growth rate signifies a modest slowdown from the previous year’s 75 million rise. In the United States, the population will grow to 341 million, driven by a combination of births, passings, and international migration that adds a new resident approximately every 21 seconds.

This contributes to a 2.9% population growth in the 2020s, continuing the declining growth rates observed since the 2010s.

Five secondary school students of Ejioku Community Grammar School, Oyo State, have been arrested for the gang r3pe of female students.

It was gathered that suspects allegedly ambushed the female students who came from another school, dragged them into the bush and r3ped them.

The male students were arrested by Amotekun Corps, Oyo State Command after information was received on the incident, the second in command of the corps, Kazeem Babalola Akinro, confirmed to the Nigerian Tribune.

According to the publication, an investigation revealed that the r3pe incident was not an isolated case, as it is said to be the norm among male students in the areas.

One of the victims, a 14-year-old student, was said to have had her h***n forcefully broken after two boys had earlier failed to pe*****te her private part.

The students involved were identified as Mayowa, 17; Joshua, 16; Seun, 17; Sunday, 16 and Basit, 17 (surnames withheld). Two of them, Seun and Sunday, are from the same mother but different fathers.

Nigerian Tribune gathered from a credible source who was a parent in the school that the act was so rampant among the students that the principal had warned them.

The source said that it was also discussed at the Parent-Teacher Association meeting where parents were told to warn their male children.

One of the suspects currently at large was said to have used his motorcycle that he usually brought to school to chase the girls into the bush beside their field where his colleagues would be lying in waiting. They would then pounce on the girls and start ra**ng them.

The latest victims were four girls but three of the parents reportedly decided to keep sealed lips.

The case caught the attention of a female lawyer, Barrister Modupe Aderemi, and she was able to have a conversation with one of the traumatized girls whose hym3n was brut@lly broken, and she narrated her experience.

In their latest s3xual escapade, a member of the group of suspected r@pists recorded a video of the deflowered girl as she was being abus3d.

10 years!
A journey of faith, growth, and hard work.

In 2014, I wrote Sade at one of my lowest moments. I had just lost my job, and life felt uncertain. But I made a choice to give music everything I had.

That choice changed my life.

If you have a dream, believe in it. Work for it. Start small, start scared, but just start.

Don’t let fear stop you. Keep growing, keep trying, and keep believing.

Your journey is yours to own.
Do it afraid, and do it with all your heart.

Thank you BFF for your unwavering love for me.

All my love

A Mexican referee has been sacked from his role after failing to turn up to officiate a match amid reports he had sustained injuries after being assaulted by a s3x worker he had hired.

Referee Rosario Guadalupe Cardenas had been appointed to serve as the fourth official in a match between Monterrey and Tigres in the Apertura Tournament on October 19.

Mexico’s refereeing commission announced on the day of the match that Cardenas had been replaced due to a ‘medical reason’.



Cardenas was replaced in the role by Ismael Lopez, with Ximena Marquez Ruíz installed as the VAR official.


The organisation launched an internal investigation two days later, stating it would ‘clarify all the details related to this incident’.


Former Mexican referee Francisco Chacon later stated that Cardenas, 27, had failed to attend the match due to injuries sustained after being attacked by a s*x worker he had hired.



‘It turns out that Mr. Rosario Cardenas decided to hire a companion one day before the game,’ said Chacon, who officiated international matches between 2009 and 2017.



‘He took her to his hotel where he was staying, and there he was drugged and assaulted, which is why he did not make it to his game.
‘That was the “medical reason”’.


The Mexican refereeing commission confirmed Cardenas’ sacking on December 4 following the internal investigation.

The organisation did not provide further details about the circumstances but deemed his conduct worthy of dismissal.

Women in Afghanistan will no longer be allowed to attend nursing and midwifery classes following an edict issued by the Taliban's supreme leader, according to senior employees at institutions offering these courses.
 
Health officials conveyed the directive during a meeting with institute directors in Kabul on Monday, December 2, a public health ministry official told AFP. The official, who was not authorised to speak publicly, said, “There is no official letter, but the directors of institutes were informed in a meeting that women and girls can’t study anymore in their institutes. They were not provided with any details and justification and were just told of the order of the supreme leader and were asked to implement it.”
 
The ruling, which lacks formal documentation, has caused confusion among educational institutions. While some managers sought clarity from the health ministry, others have continued operations as usual, pending a written directive.
 
The ban marks another devastating blow to women’s education in Afghanistan, which has been increasingly restricted since the Taliban returned to power in 2021. Girls have already been barred from secondary schools and universities, forcing many to pursue health-related studies as one of the few remaining educational options.
 
Women now account for the majority of students in Afghanistan’s health institutes, which include 10 public and over 150 private institutions offering two-year diplomas in fields such as midwifery, anaesthesia, pharmacy, and dentistry. These institutes collectively serve around 35,000 women students.
 
Institute managers expressed concerns about the impact of the ban. “What are we supposed to do with just 10 percent of our students?” one manager questioned.
 
Aysha, a 28-year-old midwifery teacher in Kabul, said she was told by her institute’s management not to report to work until further notice. “This is a big shock for us. Psychologically, we are shaken. This was the only source of hope for the girls and women who were banned from universities,” she said.
 
The United Kingdom’s charge d’affaires called the reports “deeply concerning."

Gun violence has surged across Ontario, with Hamilton, Peel, York, and Toronto reporting alarming increases in shootings in 2024. Hamilton has already exceeded last year's total, with 58 shootings as of November 4, and Peel has seen an 86% rise in illegal fi****ms seized. Experts point to the U.S. as the primary source of illegal guns flooding into Canada, and while authorities are working to curb smuggling, they face significant challenges. This surge in violence leaves families like Melanie Ward's, who lost her 19-year-old son to a targeted shooting, grappling with the harsh reality of gun crime’s impact on their lives.
