Image
Nigeria woke up to a major shock on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, as global ride-hailing giant Uber officially shut down its operations in the country after 12 years. The sudden exit has sent waves across Nigeria’s transport and technology sectors, leaving riders and drivers wondering what comes next.

TRISHULI TURNS TERRIFYING: NEPAL’S RAGING RIVER SWELLS AFTER HEAVY RAINS.

Image
The Trishuli River in Nepal has swollen dramatically following heavy rainfall, raising concerns about flooding, dangerous river conditions and the safety of communities living along its banks. The powerful rise in water levels highlights once again the destructive force of extreme weather in the Himalayan nation. According to a report by the BBC , heavy rain has caused the Trishuli River to surge, transforming the normally busy waterway into a potentially hazardous torrent. The river is an important part of Nepal’s landscape and economy, but its rapid response to intense rainfall can create serious risks for people, roads, bridges and other infrastructure near the river. Nepal is particularly vulnerable to heavy rainfall and flooding because of its mountainous terrain. During periods of intense rain, water can accumulate rapidly and flow through steep valleys, causing rivers to rise quickly. Such conditions can leave communities with little time to respond, especially w...
