Nigeria Welcomes First Wave of St. Kitts and Nevis Delegation Following Landmark Visa-Free Agreement

ABUJA, Nigeria, Nov. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nigeria yesterday welcomed an official government delegation from St. Kitts and Nevis, just weeks after the two nations achieved a historic milestone: granting visa–free entry to citizens of St. Kitts and Nevis. The visit was facilitated in partnership with Aquarian Consult, underscoring the role of private sector leadership in advancing Afri–Caribbean Cooperation.

This groundbreaking agreement makes the Caribbean nation the first outside Africa and ECOWAS to enjoy unrestricted access to Nigeria, signalling a new era of connectivity and cooperation among the Global African people.

Led by Minister of Agriculture, Samal Mojah Duggins, the 20–member senior delegation also includes the Deputy Prime Minister, Dr. Geoffrey Ian Hanley, and Speaker of the National Assembly, Lanien Blanchette. With high–level government and private sector meetings on the agenda, the visit signals a bold commitment to accelerate diplomatic and economic ties after this landmark policy shift, an example of how Global African communities can unite for shared progress.

The breakthrough was brokered by Nigerian business leader, Aisha Maina, CEO of Aquarian Consult, whose leadership during the Afri–Caribbean Investment Summit (AACIS ’25) was instrumental in driving this agreement forward.

“This is more than a policy change, it’s a signal to the world that Africa and the Caribbean are ready to collaborate on trade, investment, and cultural exchange,” said Aisha Maina. “Global investors should take note: this is the beginning of a powerful alliance built on the strength of Global African people.”

The delegation’s arrival highlights opportunities in sectors such as agribusiness, technology, and creative industries. Both nations are advancing discussions on food security, cultural exchange, and youth empowerment, with expanded outcomes expected at AACIS ’26 in Abuja next March.

St. Kitts and Nevis Minister of Agriculture, Samal Mojah Duggins, said: “This partnership represents a bold step toward a future where Africa and the Caribbean collaborate as equals in trade, culture, and innovation, uniting global African efforts for shared prosperity.”

For global business leaders, this development signals new opportunities in South–South cooperation, leveraging Nigeria’s role as Africa’s economic gateway and St. Kitts and Nevis’ strategic Citizenship by Investment program.

Datavault AI Signs Agreement with the World Boxing Council, Unlocks Global Event-Driven Monetization at Scale

  • Company’s recurring licensing deal further monetizes Datavault’s patented ADIO® and Data Vault® with WBC sports and entertainment content
  • Collaboration creates scalable, multi–event revenue pathways fueled by authenticated engagement
  • WBC events are distributed across more than 170 countries

PHILADELPHIA , Nov. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via IBN — Datavault AI Inc. (Nasdaq: DVLT) (“Datavault” or “the Company”), a leader in data monetization, credentialing, and digital engagement technologies, today announced it has executed an agreement with the World Boxing Council (WBC)¹. The software licensing deal brings Datavault’s patented ADIO® ultrasonic engagement technology, DataVault®, VerifyU™, and Information Data Exchange (IDE) platform² to WBC championship events throughout the remainder of 2025 and 2026.

The WBC sanctions major boxing events distributed across more than 170 countries through broadcast and streaming partners¹ and is one of the most recognized and influential sanctioning bodies in professional boxing. Founded in 1963, the WBC has played a central role in shaping modern sport, establishing global standards for fighter safety, competition integrity, officiating, and event regulation. WBC’s greatest champions include Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Julio Cesar Chavez, Oscar de La Hoya, Sugar Ray Leonard, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao among others.

Datavault and the WBC will share in event–driven revenue generated through ADIO® and IDE activations on a 50/50 basis.

The Global Reach of the WBC

WBC major championship fights operate across broadcast television, streaming networks, social platforms, and in–venue environments, giving Datavault the ability to capture authenticated interactions in real time across every channel. These engagements can flow directly into the IDE platform, creating compliance–ready datasets for sponsor reporting, audience segmentation, attribution analysis, and post–event monetization.

Recent WBC–affiliated championship fights have demonstrated extraordinary global reach, including a reported 41 million viewers for the Canelo Álvarez vs. Terence Crawford event2. This scale offers Datavault a broad operating environment for capturing authenticated audience engagement across one of the world’s largest live–event ecosystems.

As WBC events accumulate throughout the year, the resulting datasets can form a scalable, durable asset that can be commercialized across recurring sponsorship cycles. Brands gain the ability to evaluate performance with greater precision. Rights–holders receive validated reporting. Datavault’s technology supports the entire lifecycle of this data creation, authentication, valuation, and deployment.

Monetizing the WBC Content through Datavault AI’s Solutions

Datavault’s ADIO® and IDE platforms convert fan participation — such as ADIO–powered silent triggers3, QR–based activations, sponsor interactions, contest entries, and digital confirmations — into verified data objects, often categorized as real–world assets (RWAs). These authenticated data objects, which include data from past, present, and future events, carry measurable commercial value because they provide sponsors and rights–holders with precise attribution, accurate reporting, and transparent engagement metrics.

To illustrate how this translates into event–level monetization, consider a championship fight that reaches 40 million viewers. If only 10 percent engage through ADIO–inaudible tones, reinforced by QR–based capture, the result is roughly 4 million authenticated interactions. With authenticated sports–fan engagements commonly valued in the single– to double–digit–dollar range per transaction, according to industry benchmarks⁴, a single premium event has the potential to generate a multi–million–dollar dataset that continues to deliver value across future campaigns.

Datavault AI has also demonstrated the power of authenticated engagement in prior real–world deployments². Although past deployments and engagements do not guarantee future results, they highlight how verified, intentional interactions can scale when engagement is captured in real time. The WBC’s global footprint amplifies that effect, creating an environment where even conservative participation rates can compound into meaningful and repeatable revenue.

Management Commentary

“We are excited to integrate Datavault’s forward–thinking technology innovation into WBC championship events,” said Mauricio Sulaimán, WBC President. “This collaboration strengthens how we reach, understand, and engage our global audience, creating new value for fans, fighters, and our commercial partners. We are always looking for ways to elevate the sport, and these new capabilities open the door to an entirely new level of connection and impact.”

Datavault CEO Nathaniel Bradley stated, “The WBC’s global footprint makes it a powerful partner for our ADIO and Information Data Exchange platforms. We’re excited to deliver technologies that strengthen data integrity, improve reporting in real time, and expand the commercial value that can be created from authenticated fan engagement.”

“This agreement allows Datavault to demonstrate and, just as importantly, monetize our patented technology in a globally distributed sports environment. The WBC collaboration aligns with Datavault’s core mission: turning audience participation into high–integrity data assets with measurable commercial value,” Nate added. “As the demand for verified engagement accelerates across the sports and entertainment industries, we believe partnerships like this will compound and set an industry example.”

About the World Boxing Council (WBC)

The WBC sanctions many of the world’s premier championship events and has long–standing relationships with leading promoters, networks, commissions, and international sports organizations. Under the leadership of President Mauricio Sulaimán, the WBC continues to advance its mission of elevating the sport by embracing innovation, expanding global fan engagement, and fostering programs that support fighters, communities, and the worldwide boxing ecosystem.

Bitget Co-Hosts “SENSES” — An Audiovisual Experience in London, Strengthening UEX Engagement in the UK

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Nov. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), is set to host an exclusive artist event in collaboration with OffChain, a global network for Web3 professionals and enthusiasts and ARTSECT Gallery to present SENSES, an exclusive one–night immersive audiovisual event on November 28 in London.

Designed for around 150 curated guests, the event will offer a deliberately intimate atmosphere, gathering founders, investors, VIP traders and influencers for meaningful conversations rather than mass attendance. Through its partnership with OffChain and London’s art community, Bitget aims to foster a space where ideas can be exchanged freely, partnerships can form organically, and the UK’s Web3 ecosystem can continue to evolve.

The upcoming London gathering is part of Bitget’s broader commitment to the UK market, following a series of high–impact activations across the region in 2025. Earlier this month, Bitget co–hosted the first joint networking event between OffChain Bristol and Bristol Crypto & Web3 for an evening of collaboration—many of whom walked away with limited Bitget merchandise and new local connections.

Bitget has also strengthened ties with the UK academic ecosystem through new partnerships with student organizations in the University of Bristol and the London School of Economics (LSE), supporting educational initiatives aligned with blockchain research, digital finance, and entrepreneurship.

This momentum culminated at the London Blockchain Conference 2025, where Bitget spokesperson joined a high–profile panel alongside leaders from Tezos, Global Digital Finance, and MNEE. His insights on “TradFi 2.0: Building Blockchain Rails” emphasized Bitget’s role in connecting institutional finance with on–chain innovation through its Universal Exchange (UEX) model—bridging crypto markets, tokenized equities, and emerging AI–driven tools like GetAgent.

“London remains one of the most important financial and cultural hubs in the world,” Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget said. “This event is a statement of our long–term commitment to the UK community and to building a future where finance, creativity, and technology move forward together.”

Les créateurs peuvent se qualifier de trois façons : avoir au moins 100 abonnés en tant que créateur sur les réseaux sociaux, gérer un groupe communautaire de 500 membres ou plus, ou être actif dans au moins cinq communautés crypto. Satisfaire à l’un de ces critères suffit pour rejoindre le Bitget Affiliates Program, ouvrant la voie à des revenus structurés et à une croissance durable.

« Chez Bitget, nous avons toujours pensé que les créateurs méritaient davantage que des remises temporaires : ils méritent un système qui récompense la constance, la pertinence et un véritable impact communautaire », a déclaré Gracy Chen, PDG de Bitget. « Le Mois du boost des affiliés reflète exactement cela. Nous donnons aux talents les outils, la transparence et la capacité de monétisation nécessaires pour construire quelque chose de durable, et pas seulement saisonnier. Bitget Affiliates offre aux créateurs l’un des meilleurs écosystèmes d’accompagnement du secteur, de son portail Affiliates aux commissions transparentes, en passant par de nombreux tutoriels et ressources éducatives conçues pour aider chaque créateur à grandir en toute confiance. »

Tout au long de la campagne, les participants ont accès à des bonus d’étape, à des prix en BGB et en USDT, à des produits dérivés et à un parcours de maîtrise simplifié permettant de transformer plus rapidement les contenus en conversions. Bitget lance également une fonctionnalité peer–to–peer « Invite & Earn » (Invitez et gagnez) de recherche de talents, qui offre aux affiliés un nouveau moyen de développer leur activité en identifiant et en recrutant des créateurs en pleine ascension.

Trump’s Threat of ‘Military Action’ in Nigeria Stokes Religious Tensions

By Promise Eze
ABUJA, Nigeria, Nov 26 2025 – Diplomatic relations between Nigeria and the US have continued to sour after US President Donald Trump threatened ‘military’ intervention over what some American lawmakers have called  “Christian genocide” in Africa’s most populous country.

In a series of posts on his social media platform on October 31, Trump accused the Nigerian government of ignoring the killing of Christians by “radical Islamists.” He warned that Washington would suspend all aid to Nigeria and would go into the “disgraced” country “guns-a-blazing” if Abuja failed to respond.

“Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter,” Trump wrote.

He went on to declare Nigeria a “country of particular concern” for alleged violations of religious freedom, instructing the US Department of War to prepare for “possible action” and warning that any strike would be “fast, vicious, and sweet.”

Trump’s remarks follow years of lobbying by American evangelical groups and conservative lawmakers who accuse the Nigerian government of complicity in attacks on Christians in the country.

This is not the first time Trump has accused an African country of genocide. Earlier this year, he claimed that South Africa was committing genocide against white farmers.

Recently, the US stayed away from the G20 summit in South Africa, apparently because of these widely disputed claims that white people are being targeted in the country.

Disputed Narratives

According to an organization that claims to track persecuted Christians, Open Doors International, Nigeria remains one of the world’s most dangerous places to be a Christian, ranking seventh on its 2025 World Watch List of nations where believers face the most persecution.

A report by the International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law estimated that jihadist groups killed more than 7,000 Christians and abducted 7,800 others in 2025 alone. The organization asserts that since 2009, they have killed over 125,000 Christians, destroyed 19,000 churches, and displaced more than 1,100 communities.

Open Doors’ data suggests that Christians in northern Nigeria are 6.5 times more likely to be killed and five times more likely to be abducted than Muslims.

However, the Nigerian authorities have rejected claims of a state-sponsored Christian genocide, insisting that both Christians and Muslims suffer from extremist violence.

Analysts caution that portraying Nigeria’s insecurity as purely religious oversimplifies a crisis rooted in political and economic failure.

With its 230 million citizens divided almost evenly between Christians and Muslims, the country faces multiple overlapping threats, from Boko Haram’s Islamist insurgency and farmer-herder conflicts to ethnic rivalries and separatist agitations in the southeast.

While Christians are among those targeted, researchers note that many victims of armed groups are Muslims living in Nigeria’s predominantly Muslim north, where most attacks are not driven solely by religion.

Data from the US-based Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED) show that between January 2020 and September 2025, 20,409 civilians were killed in 11,862 attacks across Nigeria. Of these, only 385 incidents were explicitly linked to victims’ Christian identity, resulting in 317 deaths, while 196 attacks targeted Muslims, leaving 417 dead.

“Trump’s comment has certainly drawn global attention to the problem of insecurity in Nigeria, but it also raises questions about foreign influence and national sovereignty,” said Oludare Ogunlana, Professor of National Security at Collin College in Texas. “What I’ve observed is that many who present themselves as experts on African or global security often lack a nuanced understanding of Nigeria’s realities.”

He described Trump’s claims as misguided, stressing that Nigeria’s insecurity is multifaceted and should not be given a religious coloring.

“If you examine the situation closely, it is not a religious war. It reflects systemic governance failures, economic inequality, and weak law enforcement,” he said. “Citizens of all faiths—Christians, Muslims, atheists, and traditional believers—have suffered from kidnapping, organized crime, and other forms of violence. These criminal activities emerge from disparities in wealth and control over resources, resulting in loss of life across communities.”

Religious Tensions

Trump’s remarks have already inflamed tensions at home and analysts have cautioned that framing Nigeria’s insecurity as a religious conflict risks deepening divisions.

Several Muslim groups have condemned Trump’s comments as an attack on Islam and an attempt to demonize Nigeria’s Muslim population. They argue that Trump, who has long enjoyed support from evangelical Christians, is ill-suited to address the complexities of Nigeria’s Muslim-majority north.

Days after Trump’s comments, members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria marched through Kano to protest the threat of US military action. Chanting “Death to America” and burning the US flag, demonstrators carried placards reading “There is no Christian genocide in Nigeria” and “America wants to control our resources.”

Northern states like Kano have a long history of bloody religious riots, and observers warn that renewed rhetoric could deepen sectarian divides in a region where relations between the two faiths remain fragile.

Christian and non-Muslim groups, on the other hand, maintain that persecution is real. They cite reports noting that more than 300 Nigerians have been killed over alleged blasphemy since 1999, with few perpetrators prosecuted. They call out government officials who support religious extremism and enforce shariah law on non-Muslims.

“It is an honor to be called an Islamic extremist,” wrote Bashir Ahmad, a former aide to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, in a since-deleted post on X. Ahmad has previously called for the death penalty for blasphemy.

Deborah Eli Yusuf, a peace advocate with Jugaad Foundation for Peace and Nation Building, expressed concern that ongoing arguments could spill into real-world violence, making tensions difficult to contain.

She told IPS that the government should collaborate with stakeholders to maintain peace.

“This is an opportunity for the government to take the lead in facilitating honest interfaith conversations and dialogues that can lead to mutually agreeable resolutions. The government is best positioned to organize discussions that bring together critical stakeholders, including both religious and traditional leaders.

“Many of these conflicts also intersect with ethnic divisions, which further complicate the situation. The conversations happening now present a chance to address these divides. If left unchecked, rising tensions could deepen fragmentation in a country already divided along tribal, ethnic, and class lines,” she said.

Abba Yakubu Yusuf, Coordinator of the Reves Africa Foundation, believes that while Nigeria faces various forms of violent conflict orchestrated by multiple armed groups, it is misleading for the government to deny that Christians are being specifically targeted by some for their faith. He argues that acknowledging this reality is the first step toward finding solutions.

“Since as far back as 2009, the killings in southern Kaduna, Plateau, Benue, and parts of Kano states have been largely religiously motivated,” he claimed. “There was a massacre in Plateau state that saw an entire village wiped out with no survivors. In the northeast, while attacks target Muslims, there are exceptions. In southern Borno, for example, a largely Christian population has suffered the most. Overall, I would say there is a genocide occurring in Nigeria, and we should not lie to ourselves.”

Yusuf warned that continued denial by the government of systematic attacks on Christians, without addressing the root causes, could have serious consequences for the country’s economy.

“We need investors to come to our country, but they are hesitant. This creates a climate of fear and threatens economic growth,” he said.
