Africa is at a critical turning point as nations redefine their sovereignty and global influence. From Niger’s bold stance on national security to Uganda’s bid for the highest office at the United Nations, the continent is making its voice heard on the world stage. Join Akosua Prempe for this essential update on the stories shaping the future of the United States of Africa.

In this report for July 27th, 2026, we examine the third anniversary of Niger’s political transition and a major interview with President Abdourahamane Tiani. The President addresses the security situation at the Niamey airport and discusses the complexities of regional diplomacy, specifically regarding relations with France and the warming of ties with Benin. We also take you to the heart of Niamey for the National Day of Sovereignty and Patriotism, where the focus remains on the synergy between security and development through the National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland.

Finally, we cover a major development in international diplomacy as Uganda officially nominates veteran diplomat Olara Otunnu as a candidate for the next Secretary General of the United Nations. As the race to succeed Antonio Guterres heats up, we look at what this means for African representation in global leadership and how Otunnu’s extensive experience could impact the international community.

📥 Free practice speaking workbook for week 23 at https://learnigbonow.com/

This is your Week 23 Igbo language practice session from Igbo Daily Drops — 15 sentences learnt over the past week in Igbo daily drops, built for real-life use. Commands, requests, questions, and the kind of warm, human phrases that make the difference between knowing a language and living in it.


Work through each sentence at your own pace. You will hear it once, then again — then it is your turn. The sentences this week move from saying where you are located, who you are , to asking who others are.



The Igbo sentences we learnt this week are :



Ọ bụ ihe nnukwu — It is a big thing.

Ọ bụ ihe obere — It is a small thing.

Ihe obere dị mma — Small things are good.

Aka m maara ọrụ — My hands know the work

Ọ dị oke ọnụ — It costs a great deal

Ndị ọzọ ga-achọ ya — Others will want it

A fụgo m ya! — I have found it / I have seen it

Ka anyị gbaa okirikiri — Let us form a circle

Anyị ga-echekwa gị — We will protect you

E nwere m oche ọcha — I have a white chair

A chọrọ m akpa ojii — I want a black bag

Ọ bụ ihe odo odo — It is a purple thing

Ọ bụ nnukwu ụlọ ọhụrụ — It is a big new house.

Anyị nwere obere nkịta dị ọjị — We have a small black dog.

E riri m osikapa dị ọkụ na-atọ ụtọ — I ate hot delicious rice.

This is the language your family carried. Now it is yours to carry too.
