At the commencement of this week’s trading, Nigeria’s naira was valued at approximately ₦1,362.55 per US dollar in the official foreign exchange market. Meanwhile, the parallel market showcased a slightly higher rate, with the dollar fetching around ₦1,425 on Monday.
This official rate is disseminated via the Central Bank of Nigeria’s exchange platform, serving as the standard reference for all transactions processed through the nation’s formal foreign exchange channels.
Despite fluctuations in global economic conditions, the naira started the week on a comparatively steady note. Market participants are closely watching factors such as foreign exchange liquidity, dollar demand, and interventions from the Central Bank of Nigeria.
Naira-dollar exchange rate
In the bustling parallel market, often dubbed the black market, currency traders in Lagos and other key trading hubs offered the dollar at about ₦1,425 for selling and ₦1,410 for buying.
Analyzing the discrepancy between the NFEM’s official rate of ₦1,362.55 and the parallel market’s selling rate of ₦1,425 reveals a gap of roughly ₦62.45 per dollar.
The spread remains broadly in line with recent trading sessions, indicating that the naira has maintained relative stability across the two markets.
The CBN explains that the Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market rate is determined using the volume-weighted average of transactions completed during each trading session.
Recent market data also showed the official exchange rate moving within a relatively narrow range of around ₦1,362 to ₦1,364 per dollar.
Market outlook
Market watchers have attributed the recent stability partly to improved foreign exchange liquidity and efforts by the Central Bank to manage demand pressures in the official market.
Reuters also reported that the naira had recently traded around the ₦1,360 level in the official market, while street-market rates remained close to ₦1,425 per dollar.
Dealers are expected to continue monitoring dollar supply and demand as the new trading week progresses.
For individuals and businesses looking to buy or sell dollars, the actual rate offered may differ depending on the bank, bureau de change, transaction size, payment method and location.
The NFEM rate applies to transactions conducted through authorised dealers within the formal foreign exchange market.
The parallel market rate, meanwhile, reflects cash transactions conducted outside the official foreign exchange window.
162-Year-Old Guinness Discovered in Shipwreck May Still Be Drinkable, Say Divers
During a remarkable dive off the coast of the UK, a team of divers stumbled upon a fascinating find: a 162-year-old bottle of Guinness hidden among the remains of a shipwreck. This discovery has sparked curiosity about whether the aged stout might still be drinkable after more than a century below the waves.
Stefan Panis, a seasoned underwater photographer hailing from Belgium, couldn’t believe his luck when he uncovered the glass bottle amid the wreckage of the Mindoro, hidden in the depths of the English Channel last year.
“As soon as I came back up to the surface, I realized the top of the bottle was exceptionally clear,” recounted Panis, 47, to Inc. “To see the words ‘Guinness Extra Stout London’ on it was astonishing.”
“The moment was nothing short of incredible,” he added, reflecting on his unexpected find.
Nestled within the ship’s cargo, the bottle’s age surprised both Panis and his diving companion, Eddie Huzzie, 68. Eager to learn more, they sent samples from the relic to microbiologists at KU Leuven, a renowned research university in Belgium, to explore the secrets contained within its ancient glass.
“There is always a chance that we can recover the complete DNA, and then we can do a small re-brew of the exact beer that was found in the 1860s,” he told the BBC.
Panis, who admitted he’s not a huge fan of the stout, said the contents of the bottle might still be drinkable – but he’s waiting for the analysis first.
“There is a possibility that it’s still drinkable,” he said.
“The question is if the sea water has come into the bottles through the corks.
“If not, most likely the beer will still be drinkable.”
He revealed that he would take a sip of the stout if he’s given the green light to taste it.
He suspects there may be more than one bottle hiding within the wreckage of the barque, which sank three miles off the coast of Dover, England, on Nov. 27 1864 after colliding with the Khersonese, a sailing ship.
“Seeing the size of the case, I think it is definitely a case of 24 bottles,” he told the BBC.
“But there might be more cases.”
Panis also contacted Diageo – the company which makes Guinness – and a spokesperson for the organization said, “Discoveries like this provide a fascinating window into our past and help build a deeper understanding of our heritage.
“Currently, our Guinness Archive team is liaising with the divers to gather more information and evaluate the find.”
Discover the Hidden Gem: An Island Poised for a Tourism Boom Despite Missing the Odyssey Film Spotlight
As the ferry approaches its docking point on the picturesque shores of the Greek island Ithaca, Giorgia Ongarato stands eagerly, her mind swirling with thoughts of Homer’s “Odyssey.” This legendary epic is not only the foundation of classic literature but also a source of inspiration for Christopher Nolan’s acclaimed blockbuster film.
For this Italian attorney, visiting Ithaca has always been a dream come true. The island, steeped in myth and history, is famously believed to be the home of Odysseus, the epic’s revered hero.
Giorgia, sporting a T-shirt boldly featuring the word ‘Odyssey’ in ancient Greek script, is a testament to her lifelong passion. The shirt further bears a poignant line from the epic poem itself. “I delved into Greek studies as a youngster,” she explains. “It’s where my journey with the Odyssey began.”
Although she clarifies that her love for this timeless tale long predates Nolan’s film, the 50-year-old enthusiast acknowledges the movie’s brilliance, describing it with enthusiasm as “wonderful.”
With this renewed cinematic interest, local businesses and officials on Ithaca are hopeful that many more visitors, captivated by the Odyssey’s enduring allure, will venture to this historic island, just as Giorgia has done.
Ithaca, in the Ionian Sea off the west coast of mainland Greece, is far from the country’s tourist hubs, and despite crystal-clear waters and spectacular bays, it has never been a regular stop for travellers.
Its interior is rugged, carpeted with olive and cypress trees, and strikingly calm even at the height of the tourist season.
Controversy over the movie in Greece
Although the movie has undoubtedly piqued the interest of many, it has also been slightly controversial in Greece — although some Greek locations were used, not a single scene in the blockbuster was shot on Ithaca.
That decision has upset some on the island of roughly 3,000 inhabitants, where the film has been shown twice in open-air screenings since its 16 July worldwide release.
Xhimi Xoxha, who runs a restaurant in Ithaca’s capital of Vathi, said he was content that the movie was already “generating publicity for the island”. He predicted the positive effects would continue.
While Ithaca mayor Dionysis Stanitsas agreed that the publicity was “tremendous”, he could not hide his disappointment that the island itself did not feature.
“We had reached out to the production team and asked that some scenes be filmed here on the island,” he said. “Unfortunately, that wasn’t feasible.”
He is, however, counting on rising demand next year, and the island was already fully booked for this season by the time the film came out.
“As more people see it, they will begin planning trips to visit the island,” he said.
What’s on Ithaca?
Visitors will not find a palace of Odysseus or any spectacular archaeological site likely to confirm the existence of the hero of Homer’s poem.
But village squares and the town hall are dotted with statues of Odysseus and Homer.
And there are other pointers to the island’s rich literary heritage.
In the small sun-drenched port, boats bob in the green water bearing names like Telemachus (son of Odysseus) and Calypso (a goddess and nymph who imprisoned him).
Trinket shops offer busts of Homer and Penelope, Odysseus’s wife.
T-shirts can be found amid the jumble featuring the Cyclops Polyphemus — one of the many monsters defeated by Odysseus.
And the truly devoted can splash out for a wall plate decorated with a Trojan Horse.
Archaeologist Spyros Couvaras is among those expecting a dramatic upsurge in visitors, saying it was clear that visitors wanted more than just sand and sea — they wanted the history and the mythology.
None of those are in short supply here.
A short distance from the shops and restaurants of the port, holidaymakers stretch out on deck chairs under parasols at Dexia Beach, enveloped by the grating sound of cicadas.
According to legend, this is where Odysseus landed after years of voyaging.
Couvaras said the “driving force” of the renewed interest was undoubtedly the movie.
“But behind Nolan’s film stands Homer.”
Trump Announces Stealth Tactics in Iran Strategy: A Surprising Shift in Tension Game
President Donald Trump has indicated a strategic shift in the United States’ stance on the Iran conflict, opting for a more subdued approach.
Rather than engaging in military actions, the president intends to pivot towards leveraging economic sanctions as a form of pressure.
“We’re taking a low-key strategy. We’re only partially negotiating with Iran,” Trump shared in an interview with Axios on Sunday. “We’re simply noting Iran’s severe inflation issues and its lack of financial resources.”
He emphasized that Iran is in dire straits, financially unable to compensate its military forces, a predicament further aggravated by the US’ naval blockade.
“It will work out. It always does. It’s much like a strategic game of chess,” he remarked confidently.
It came a day after details emerged on the potential deal between Iran and Oman on managing the Strait of Hormuz.
The Oman agreement, which was viewed as a pending done deal until Tehran issued a list of demands on Saturday, would have given Iran partial control of traffic in the strait.
The key waterway has been closed for much of the time since the war on Iran began in late February.

On Saturday, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council said the strait will not reopen until the US ‘corrects its behavior.’
Tehran suggested that vessels linked to ‘hostile countries’ would be barred.
It demanded that the US never threaten Iran again, a permanent end to the war with Iran and its armed allies, a lifting of the naval blockade of Iranian ports and a withdrawal of American military from the area.
The US also must ‘completely compensate’ Iran for war damage, lift sanctions and ‘unconditionally’ release frozen assets.
Trump did not respond to the demands and his comments on Sunday appeared to be confirmed by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who said there are no ongoing negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
A 60-day period to negotiate a final deal will end in just over a week but could be extended.
It comes as Israel rejected a deal Trump announced for Gaza last month.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed the deal, saying Israel´s military ‘will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is genuinely disarmed.’

Netanyahu told a Cabinet meeting that ‘Israel rejects the 15-point document’ but is still discussing plans for Gaza with Washington, after making similar comments last week.
Trump had said Israeli forces would withdraw as the Hamas militant group’s disarmament is completed.
Israeli forces control over half the Palestinian enclave of about two million people that has been largely destroyed.
‘We remain committed to the road map,’ Bassem Naim, a member of the Hamas political bureau, said.
He added that the group expects mediators and the US to pressure Netanyahu, who also faces domestic tensions as he struggles to hold onto power ahead of the next elections scheduled for October 27.
Meanwhile, Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen attacked the government-held port city of Mocha late Sunday night. It was the second attack on the Red Sea coast city in less than 24 hours.
A military source told the Houthi-controlled Al-Masirah TV that the attack targeted weapons depots and Saudi troop concentrations.
A statement from the Yemeni Armed Forces posted on X said residential neighborhoods were targeted by ballistic missiles and drones in the attack, and that air defense systems managed to intercept some of the drones.

The Yemeni government-allied National Resistance Forces said at least seven people, four troops and three civilians, were killed and 15 civilians were injured in that strike.
Fayed al-Noman, the information ministry’s assistant undersecretary, said the attack severely damaged port buildings and piers as well as commercial goods and food supplies. The military later said missiles landed in several areas, including near a television station.
Mocha is a main port under Yemen’s internationally recognized government and has been renovated to handle shipping that avoids the Houthi-held port of Hodeida.
The Houthis said they targeted military forces and warehouses.
North Carolina Community Outraged by Removal of Activist Benches in Bold Stand Against Free Speech
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) chapter in Wilmington, North Carolina, finds itself at odds with local authorities following the removal of their bus stop benches, which city and state officials have deemed unauthorized.
Since April 2025, the activist group has installed over 30 benches at city bus stops without securing approval from municipal bodies or the transit authority, thereby contravening established city ordinances.
According to a July 6 report by WECT-TV, Wilmington City Attorney Meredith Everhart highlighted that the benches failed to meet several requirements: they lacked city or WAVE sanctioning, were incompatible with ADA standards, bypassed necessary permitting procedures, and featured political messages prohibited in public right-of-ways.
Subsequent emails, as reported by various local media outlets, revealed that the DSA disregarded requests for bench removal. A statement from the group acknowledged the absence of official approval but indicated their decision to forge ahead with the initiative, further launching a campaign to advocate for the benches’ retention.
Images disseminated by the DSA chapter depict the benches adorned with slogans such as “We Must Have Mass Social Housing!” and “Liberation for All,” accompanied by the rainbow and trans flags, along with the phrase “Fruits of Community Labor.”
New Hanover County Commissioner Dane Scalise, a candidate for the North Carolina House of Representatives in November, announced on August 1 that he initiated the review with the state’s transportation department.
“The city is working with the DSA, an organization whose platform calls for replacing capitalism with socialism as well as abolishing the US Senate, Electoral College, and Supreme Court? Apparently so, I’m afraid. In case you don’t know, New Hanover County contributes a substantial amount of money to Wave every year. We also have numerous appointees to its board of directors. Let me make something very clear: I will do everything I can to ensure that New Hanover County plays no role in this apparent partnership with the DSA,” said Scalise on social media. “Enough is enough. I am tired of waiting for others to act.”
Scalise’s announcement came the same day as the Cape Fear Proud Boys took credit for removing one of the benches and repainting it with an anti-socialist message, writing, “Socialism is slavery.”
On August 6, 20 of the benches were removed by the North Carolina Department of Transportation.
“We were recently made aware of new bus benches placed on the state right-of-way,” NCDOT spokesperson Veronica Scott wrote via email. “Because these benches are not in compliance with the NCDOT Bus Shelter & Bus Stop Guidelines and are a safety hazard and liability for the state, they are being removed from state property.”
The city of Wilmington followed a day later, removing the remaining benches on Friday, August 7, “While the two parties work toward an agreement about their continued temporary use.”
In a statement posted on their website, the DSA chapter makes their goal in advancing a socialist agenda in the city clear: “The benches exist because we believe socialism means working together to give everyone the means to secure their own agency and dignity. This means a right to housing, medical care, education, fast and reliable public transit and yes, the right to a place to sit and rest in public. The benches are not a secret advertisement for Democratic Socialism; the benches themselves are the product of Democratic Socialism.”
Stop Non-Stop Talkers: Survive Your Chatty Cruise Companion
DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are fortunate to have friends who are truly kind-hearted, intelligent, and welcoming. Yet, as we’ve got to know them better, we’ve encountered a challenge with “Phyllis” and her endless talking. Her monologues can last indefinitely, monopolizing whoever is seated next to her.
Phyllis tends to speak without even glancing at her listener and rarely acknowledges interjections. She mentioned she’s hard of hearing and does wear a hearing aid, but it feels like this issue goes beyond just hearing difficulties.
We now face a tricky situation as they have booked themselves on a cruise with us. We didn’t invite them, but when we mentioned our plans, they decided it would be a fun idea to tag along. Facing the prospect of dining together nightly, subjected to her endless chatter, threatens to cast a shadow over what is meant to be a rare and cherished vacation for us. Is there any tactful way to maintain a conversational balance without offending them? — DREADING IT IN OREGON
DEAR DREADING IT: Before the cruise embarks, it’s crucial for either you or your husband to express to your friends that the purpose of your trip is to enjoy some dedicated time together and to mingle with new faces. This means you won’t be available to dine with them every evening or join in every activity together. Be upfront about your intentions to blend relaxation with new experiences.

DEAR ABBY: My wife of 48 years recently died, and my stepson put some artificial flowers on her grave. I was surprised to see this when I visited on the eight-month anniversary of her death. Both my wife and I always considered artificial flowers tacky and not appropriate for cemeteries, even though lots of people decorate gravesites with them.
I haven’t said anything to him about my feelings about plastic flowers, but I would like to prevent more of them from being placed when these fade away. How can I ask him to not put any more plastic flowers on the grave, or should I just ignore it? I’m less likely to visit her grave when these flowers are there. — MOURNING IN ALABAMA
DEAR MOURNING: Your stepson may not realize how his mother felt about plastic flowers, so mention it to him the next time you talk. If he doesn’t visit his mother’s grave often, he may not realize that they have been removed, which I suggest you do if seeing them would discourage your visits.
** ** **
DEAR ABBY: I’ve been married for 40 years, but it’s a platonic relationship with no communication on his part. I must run the household, make sure bills get paid and be responsible for everything — whatever life throws at us. My health is waning, and I’m concerned for my future. I have tried talking, counseling, etc., to no avail. What do I do? — FED UP IN UTAH
DEAR FED UP: Because, after 40 years, you are finally fed up enough that you might actually do something about it, I’m suggesting some sessions with a different counselor than the one you have been seeing. You stated that you are the one who takes care of the house, pays the bills, etc. Has your husband been earning the money? If so, then you might also benefit from interviewing several attorneys about what your options might be if you no longer wish to carry the whole load alone.

Tragic Incident: Mother Arrested After Alleged Stabbing of Three Children
In a disturbing turn of events, a mother in North Dakota reportedly sent a threatening video to her children’s father just before launching a violent attack on them, authorities have revealed.
Kailey Erhart, aged 22, is accused of fatally stabbing her daughters, Morgan, age three, and Ava, just five months old, at her residence in Mandan last Thursday evening. This information comes from an affidavit obtained by KVLY.
The tragic event also left her one-year-old son, Colton, seriously injured. Despite the violent assault, Colton survived after receiving extensive and urgent medical care.
According to the affidavit, Erhart’s “horrific” act followed a confrontation where she allegedly brandished a firearm at her estranged spouse, Cameron, subsequently forcing him and the children’s grandmother to flee the house as she pursued them with a knife.
Responding officers discovered Erhart at the scene, reportedly drenched in blood and holding a kitchen knife against her own throat, posing an ongoing threat to herself.
Officers found the three children lying on the floor after following a trail of blood to a nearby bedroom, the filing said. They were unresponsive and had wounds on their necks, per the document.
Before the attack, Erhart texted a video to Cameron warning him to ‘say goodbye to your kids,’ the affidavit said.
The footage allegedly showed her carrying one child with a pistol on her hip.
Erhart was arrested at the scene and faces nine charges, including two counts of murder, one count of attempted murder and multiple counts of aggravated assault and terrorizing. She has not yet entered a plea.
Kailey Erhart is accused of knifing her three young children in her Mandan, North Dakota home on Thursday in what police have called a ‘horrific’ attack
Her daughters Morgan, three, and Ava, five months, were killed in the attack. Erhart’s one-year-old son survived, but sustained serious injuries
A judge has set Erhart’s cash bond at $3 million, according to Burleigh Morton Detention Center inmate records reviewed by the Daily Mail.
A formal no-contact order has also been put in place, barring the accused killer from contacting the surviving child or family members.
Her preliminary hearing and arraignment have been set for October 6.
Police said that Erhart and Cameron were in the midst of a separation at the time of the deadly attack. He allegedly planned to file for divorce.
Erhart had an apparent history of mental illness, with the young mother admitting to having suffered from postpartum depression after Morgan’s birth three years ago.
‘This last month and a half have definitely been some of the hardest times I have been through,’ she wrote in a Facebook post in April 2023, the Daily Mail can reveal.
‘I love Morgan to pieces and I’m so glad she’s here, but my postpartum depression has definitely kicked my butt at times. Sometimes I feel so alone and stuck like nobody is there for me and I have nobody to talk to and sometimes I wish I would have waited to have Morgan.
‘It’s definitely been a wild ride considering I’ve felt so depressed and I thought Morgan would be better off with me gone, and other times like I don’t know where I’d be without her.’
Erhart, 22, faces nine charges, including two counts of murder, one count of attempted murder and multiple counts of aggravated assault and terrorizing. She is being held at the Burleigh Morton Detention Center on a $3 million cash bail

She went on to say that she was ‘one lucky mama to have this little girl with me everyday’ and claimed that ‘adorable’ Morgan has ‘definitely helped me out in more ways then [sic] one.’
Erhart had also been institutionalized over alleged mental health concerns about 12 to 18 months prior to Thursday’s attack, the affidavit said.
She had allegedly threatened to hurt herself and the children but was cleared to be around them after being discharged from the facility.
Erhart told police during questioning that she did not remember what happened during the deadly attack last week.
She claimed to have put the children to bed and told officers she believed their throats had been slit before then, the affidavit said.
She did remember holding the knife in her hands when officers arrived at the home, according to the court document.
Mandan Police Chief Jason Ziegler, during a press conference, described the crime scene as ‘one of the most horrific’ that his officers are likely to ever encounter.
‘I want to acknowledge this is an extreme, tragic and heartbreaking incident for the children involved, their families, our community and first responders who arrived on scene,’ he said, KFYR reported. ‘Our thoughts are with everyone that were impacted.’
A GoFundMe campaign has been created to support Cameron and his one-year-old son

Police say Erhart and Cameron got into a physical altercation before her alleged killing spree.
She threatened him with the gun she had recently purchased, but he managed to disarm her during the struggle, which saw her bite and scratch him, the report said.
Cameron took the weapon apart and scattered the pieces, police said.
A GoFundMe campaign has been created to support Cameron and Colton during this difficult time.
‘He is a father trying to survive something no parent should ever have to face,’ the fundraiser said.
‘I lost two precious souls in a devastating tragedy after they were murdered by their mother, and the pain is more than I can put into words.
‘Every day, we are carrying unimaginable grief while also trying to stay strong for his surviving child, who is receiving ongoing medical care and facing challenges no child should ever have to endure.’
The fundraiser has already amassed more than $26,000 in donations.
The Daily Mail reached out to Erhart’s lawyer for comment.

“I’m so happy for your beautiful family!!! All the love in the world to you, B!” another commented.
“Awwwwww……look at the lil feet. Beautiful head of hair too! Congratulations!” a third fan added.
The happy news comes just months after Belair revealed she was expecting during a surprise appearance at WrestleMania 42. The moment marked her return to WWE after spending more than a year away from the ring while recovering from a finger injury.
Following the announcement, Belair thanked fans for their support in an emotional Instagram post.
“I was so nervous to pop my little private bubble and share this moment but I’m so overwhelmed and truly overjoyed with the outpouring love and support.

Romeo is Belair’s first child and the third for Ford, whose real name is Kenneth Crawford. The couple got engaged in 2017 before marrying the following year. They later invited fans into their lives through Hulu’s Love & WWE: Bianca & Montez, which chronicled both their personal lives and wrestling careers.
