Nigeria’s internet has been on fire this week over a man who makes a living telling people things they are not ready to hear — and who just handed his critics all the ammunition they ever needed. Ojaigho Prosper, known across social media as GehGeh, is a content creator, self-proclaimed relationship and financial coach, founder of the “GehGeh University of Wisdom and Understanding,” and one of the most talked-about voices in Nigeria’s digital landscape. He is also, as he revealed publicly on the Echoo Room podcast on July 25, 2026, a man with four baby mamas, two more women currently pregnant with his children, and apparently zero intention of apologising for any of it.

On Friday, July 24, 2026, Jensen Huang — the most consequential figure in artificial intelligence hardware, co-founder and CEO of Nvidia, and until that day a conspicuous absence from social media — made his first-ever post on X. He chose not to announce a new chip. He chose not to celebrate a partnership or a quarterly result. He used his platform debut to share a three-page open letter signed by 25 of the most powerful companies in the American technology industry, warning Washington not to repeat the single most damaging mistake it nearly made to the software industry in the 1980s.

Something important is happening across Nigeria’s entrepreneurial landscape right now. Not just the headline-grabbing funding rounds or the unicorn valuations — but a quieter, more foundational conversation about how businesses are actually built, who helps build them, and what infrastructure of knowledge and leadership the ecosystem needs to sustain its ambitions. Three developments this week crystallise exactly that conversation: the debut of The Clarity Room, a mentorship-centred event pushing back against the mythology of effortless entrepreneurship; a broader industry chorus calling on would-be founders to validate before they invest; and a landmark executive education partnership between Moniepoint and the African Leadership University designed to build the tech leadership Nigeria’s digital economy requires but has chronically lacked.

The price of petrol at filling stations across Nigeria has climbed to as high as N1,400 per litre — a level that, for millions of ordinary Nigerians, is not merely a market figure but a sentence handed down by a confluence of global shocks, domestic policy failures, and a fuel supply architecture that consistently transfers the heaviest burdens onto those least equipped to carry them.

Edmonton police are appealing to the public for witnesses, dashcam footage, and any available video after a 54-year-old man was found in medical distress in the heart of the city’s downtown core earlier this month and later died under circumstances investigators are calling suspicious.

A legal battle that has stretched across court filings, congressional demands, and competing claims of public interest versus personal privacy ended quietly on Friday — and consequentially. Former President Joe Biden dropped his lawsuit seeking to block the release of audio recordings and transcripts of interviews he gave to his memoir ghostwriter nearly a decade ago, paving the way for materials that conservative groups and Republican lawmakers have spent months fighting to access to reach the public.

A city scientist who got a mosquito bite on his tongue the last time it was this bad. Traps that went from 5 mosquitoes in May to 535 in three weeks. 30 species identified and swarming. Skeeter syndrome sending Albertans to hospital. West Nile virus detected in Calgary earlier than ever. And a simple, urgent … Read more

Once worth $115 per share and a $12 billion market cap, Chegg now trades at pennies above zero. A December 2025 compliance notice was cured by May 2026. A July 2026 notice arrived six weeks later. Analysts say a $1.21 monthly average is needed to cure it. A reverse stock split is on the table. … Read more

Two stories from Vanguard this week landed almost simultaneously, and together they tell you more about where the AI trade actually stands than almost anything else published this month. The first: a Motley Fool analysis of the Vanguard Growth ETF (VUG) revealing that 60 cents of every dollar in the $220 billion fund now rides on just ten holdings, nearly all of them AI-linked — and asking what happens to those 60 cents if the AI trade cracks. The second: a senior Vanguard strategist offering, somewhat against the grain of the current moment, one of Wall Street’s more optimistic economic outlooks for 2026 — but with a crucial twist that most headlines miss. These two stories need to be read together. The gap between them is where some of the most important questions in markets right now live.

The week of July 21, 2026, produced two financial market stories that superficially appear unrelated — a massive bond sale for an AI data centre in El Paso, Texas, and record first-half profits from a Swiss wealth manager in Zurich — but that together illuminate the defining dynamics shaping global capital flows in 2026. In … Read more
