The service shows whether a candidate has received an approved admission offer, is still being considered or has not yet been admitted. Candidates should check regularly because institutions upload admission in batches and may not notify everyone immediately. This XTRAfrica guide explains the official checking process, the meaning of common JAMB CAPS messages and the steps to take after receiving an offer. Quick Answer: How to Check JAMB Admission Status in 2026 Visit the official JAMB e-Facility portal . Log in with the email address and password linked to your JAMB profile. Select Check Admission Status . Choose 2026 as the examination year. Enter your JAMB registration number if it is not displayed automatically. Select Check Admission Status to view the basic result. Select Access My CAPS for the full admission details, including the institution, course, transfer requests and acceptance option. Only enter your login details on a website ending in jamb.gov.ng . Is the JAMB 2026 Admission Portal Open? Yes. JAMB's official CAPS dashboard is displaying admission activity for the 2026/2027 session. However, this does not mean every institution has completed its list. Universities and other institutions process candidates at different times and frequently release merit, supplementary and other admission batches separately. A candidate may therefore see Not Admitted today and receive an offer later. What You Need to Check Your Admission Status Before opening the portal, have these details ready: The email address linked to your JAMB profile Your JAMB profile password Your 2026 JAMB registration number A phone, tablet or computer with internet access The e-Facility login page includes a password-reset option. Use it if you have forgotten your password. Do not give your password, profile code or one-time security code to an admission agent. Step-by-Step Guide to Check JAMB Admission Status Online 1. Open JAMB e-Facility Go to https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng/login . Check the address carefully before entering personal information because several unofficial websites imitate JAMB's name and design. 2. Log in to your profile Enter your registered email address and password, then select Login . If the portal rejects the password, use Forgot your Password? rather than repeatedly guessing and risking temporary account problems. 3. Find Check Admission Status After the dashboard opens, scroll through the available services and select Check Admission Status . 4. Select 2026 Choose 2026 from the examination-year menu. Confirm that the registration number shown belongs to you. Enter it manually if the field is empty. ADVERTISEMENT 5. Check the basic result Select Check Admission Status . The portal will display the current decision recorded by JAMB. 6. Open the full CAPS dashboard Select Access My CAPS for more information. In CAPS, open Admission Status from the menu to see: Your photograph and registration details The institution considering or admitting you The programme or course The current admission decision An acceptance or rejection option after final approval Any course-transfer request Review the name of the institution and programme carefully before responding to an offer. How to Check JAMB Admission Status on a Phone The process works on a smartphone, but CAPS may hide the navigation menu in mobile view. If you see only Welcome , a blank page or no Admission Status option in Chrome: Tap the three-dot menu in Chrome. Select Desktop site or Request desktop site . Allow the page to reload. Look for the CAPS menu on the left side. Select Admission Status . Turn the phone sideways if the menu remains difficult to read. If the page still fails, clear the browser cache, try another browser or use a computer at a JAMB-accredited CBT centre. Meaning of JAMB Admission Status Messages Congratulations, You Have Been Offered Admission JAMB has approved an admission offer. Check the institution and course before accepting it. After accepting, confirm that the status changes on CAPS and proceed with the institution's clearance instructions. Admission in Progress — Check Back Later Your application is still moving through the approval process. This is a positive processing message, but it is not yet a final offer. Continue checking CAPS. Not Admitted No approved admission is currently attached to your profile. It does not necessarily mean the entire admission exercise has ended. Your institution may still be processing additional batches. Check that: Your O'Level result is visible on JAMB's system You met the institution's screening requirements Your subject combination is correct for the course The institution has not requested a course transfer Recommended or Proposed The institution may have recommended your admission, but JAMB has not completed its approval. Wait until CAPS displays a final offer before paying an admission acceptance fee. Transfer Approval The institution may want to move you from the original course to another programme. Open Transfer Approval , read the proposed course and decide carefully. Accepting a course transfer does not always mean final admission has been granted immediately. Continue checking Admission Status until an approved offer appears. What to Do If CAPS Says Not Admitted Do not panic or pay someone to “change” the result. Take these steps: Check the institution's official admission timetable. Confirm that your WAEC, NECO or NABTEB result is uploaded to JAMB. Review the institution's post-UTME or screening requirements. Check Transfer Approval and O'Level Details in CAPS. Monitor later admission batches. Contact the institution's admissions office or a JAMB-accredited CBT centre if important information is missing. JAMB states that candidates with awaiting O'Level results must upload them before they can be considered for admission. ADVERTISEMENT What to Do After JAMB Offers You Admission If your status changes to Congratulations : Confirm the institution and programme. Accept the offer through the method displayed by JAMB. Log in again to ensure the acceptance was recorded. Print or download the official JAMB admission letter when available. Check the institution's official portal for its admission letter, acceptance fee and clearance process. Keep copies of your JAMB result, admission letter, O'Level result and payment receipts. JAMB's 2026 policy gives candidates four weeks to accept an approved offer. An institution may request the withdrawal of an offer that remains unanswered after the permitted period. Is a School Admission List Enough? No. A candidate may first see their name on an institution's website, but JAMB says recognised tertiary admissions must be processed through CAPS. Continue checking until the offer appears on your JAMB profile. An official JAMB admission letter is important for registration and inclusion on JAMB's matriculation record. If the school portal says admitted but CAPS does not, contact the institution's admissions unit. Do not attempt unofficial regularisation through an agent. 2026 Admission Deadlines The national admission schedule requires institutions to complete admissions by: Public universities: 31 October 2026 Private universities: 30 November 2026 Polytechnics, monotechnics and colleges of education: 31 December 2026 An individual institution may conclude its admission exercise earlier. Candidates should therefore monitor both CAPS and the institution's official announcements. 2026 Minimum Admission Scores JAMB's 2026 policy meeting approved these national minimum tolerable UTME scores: Universities: 150 Colleges of nursing sciences: 150 Polytechnics and monotechnics: 100 Colleges of education, colleges of agriculture and Innovation Enterprise Institutions: 100 These scores are national minimums, not guaranteed admission marks. Institutions and competitive programmes may set higher requirements. The minimum admission age remains 16 years . Common Problems and Solutions The portal will not open Heavy traffic may temporarily slow e-Facility. Wait and try again, preferably during a quieter period. Do not use an unofficial mirror website. I cannot remember my password Use the password-reset link on the official login page. Visit an accredited CBT centre if you no longer have access to the profile email. My photograph or details do not appear Confirm that the correct examination year and registration number were selected. Log out, clear the cache and try again. Seek help from JAMB if the incorrect information remains. My school says I am admitted, but JAMB says Not Admitted The institution may not have completed its CAPS recommendation, or JAMB approval may still be pending. Contact the school's admissions office and continue checking CAPS. ADVERTISEMENT CAPS shows the wrong course Check whether a transfer request was proposed. Do not accept the admission until you understand the programme displayed. Contact the institution or an accredited CBT centre for guidance. Frequently Asked Questions What is the official JAMB admission-status website? The official checking route begins at https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng/login . Can I check with only my registration number? The online portal normally requires access to the candidate's e-Facility account, including the linked email address and password. The registration number is then used to retrieve the admission record. Is checking JAMB admission status free? JAMB does not require candidates to pay an agent to view CAPS. Data or CBT-centre service charges may apply. Separate official services, including printing an admission letter, may carry a JAMB portal fee. How often should I check CAPS? Check regularly during your institution's admission period. Daily checking is unnecessary before the institution begins processing, but do not leave an approved offer unanswered because the 2026 acceptance window is limited. Can admission disappear from CAPS? An unaccepted offer may be withdrawn under the 2026 response rule. Take a screenshot for your records, but rely on the live CAPS status and complete the official acceptance process promptly. Is the institution's admission letter the same as JAMB's letter? No. The institution and JAMB issue separate documents, and candidates may need both during clearance. JAMB Admission Scam Warning No individual can legitimately guarantee an admission or manually upgrade a CAPS status in exchange for money. Avoid social-media pages offering admission slots, score upgrades, CAPS activation or unofficial regularisation. Never disclose your: JAMB password Email password Profile code OTP or payment PIN Registered SIM verification information For assistance, use JAMB's official support system, an accredited CBT centre or the contact details on the JAMB contact page .

  • Diddy’s Mother Refutes Claims Raised in New Netflix Documentary

    Janice Combs publicly rejects claims made in the Netflix documentary on Sean “Diddy” Combs, calling the allegations false and misleading. Janice Combs, mother of music executive Sean “Diddy” Combs, has issued a public statement rejecting several claims presented in the new Netflix documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning , produced by 50 Cent. The series revisits events from the hip-hop mogul’s past and has sparked widespread debate since its release. In her statement, Janice said the documentary contains distortions that misrepresent her family. She argued that the production “sensationalised” aspects of their history and asserted that some allegations were presented in a misleading manner. Janice specifically denied claims by former Bad Boy Records executive Kirk Burrowes, who alleged that Diddy slapped his mother during a conversation following the 1991 City College tragedy, which resulted in nine deaths. She described the allegation as “inaccurate and patently false,” adding that the day remained deeply painful for the family. She also criticised Burrowes for linking the tragedy to what she characterised as “false narratives” connected to his past disputes over ownership claims involving Bad Boy Records. The documentary includes additional allegations about Diddy’s childhood, including claims from a childhood acquaintance who accused Janice of abusive behaviour. Janice said the accusations were fabricated and damaging to her reputation as a parent. Discussion surrounding the documentary intensified after an older video of Diddy kissing his mother on the lips resurfaced online, prompting renewed speculation about their relationship. Janice said her decision to speak out was driven by a desire to preserve the truth and counter what she described as targeted misrepresentation of her family’s past.

  • Asked Why He Killed Habyarimana, “I Had the Right to Defend Myself."

    French judge Jean-Louis Bruguière concluded in 2006 that Kagame and senior RPF figures ordered the missile attack on Habyarimana’s plane, issuing arrest warrants. In a tense BBC Hard Talk interview, Rwandan President Paul Kagame directly addressed persistent questions over the 1994 assassination of President Juvénal Habyarimana, whose plane was shot down over Kigali on April 6, triggering the Rwandan Genocide. When pressed by the interviewer on whether he believed he had the right to assassinate Habyarimana, Kagame responded defiantly: “Well, I had the right to fight for my rights. But do you believe you had the right to assassinate him? No, but of course, Habyarimana, having been on the other side that I was fighting, it was possible that he could easily die. Imagine if I had died myself in the same process. Would the same judge be asking about my death, about who killed me?” Kagame repeatedly insisted he bears no responsibility for Habyarimana’s death and expressed indifference to it. “First of all, I'm not responsible for Habyarimana's death, and I don't care. [...] I wasn't responsible for his security. He wasn't responsible for mine, either, and he wouldn't have cared if I had died. I don't care that it happened to him.” He framed the incident within the broader context of the civil war, stating that Habyarimana was an adversary in an armed struggle, and dismissed deeper scrutiny of the plane crash as irrelevant to his fight for Rwandan rights after years in exile. The interviewer reminded Kagame that the RPF (Rwanda Patriotic Front), which he led, was engaged in peace negotiations with Habyarimana under the Arusha Accords at the time of the crash, and that the genocide unfolded afterward. Kagame brushed aside the allegations as “wild” while maintaining strong confidence in his position. The exchange centered heavily on French anti-terrorism judge Jean-Louis Bruguière, who conducted a lengthy investigation into the downing of Habyarimana’s plane (which also killed the Burundian president and French crew members). In 2006, following years of inquiry involving witness testimonies, Bruguière concluded that Kagame and senior RPF figures ordered the missile attack from Masaka Hill. He issued international arrest warrants for nine of Kagame’s top aides and recommended that Kagame himself, then protected by head-of-state immunity, face the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR). Kagame rejected Bruguière’s authority outright, calling the investigation “nonsense” and arguing that a foreign judge had no right to intervene in Rwanda’s internal affairs or judge events from the Rwandan civil war. “The French judge has no right to judge me in my own situation in Rwanda. [...] France, Bruguière have no right whatsoever to be making such a nonsense of our situation, and it is nonsense.” Continue Reading Full Article KWIBUKA Asked Why He Killed Habyarimana, “I Had the Right to Defend Myself."

[...] France, Bruguière have no right whatsoever to be making such a nonsense of our situation, and it is nonsense.” When asked why he would not agree to have the case tested before an international court, Kagame cited principles of sovereignty and dismissed the push as fabricated stories that hinder Rwanda’s progress. He maintained that the real issues lie elsewhere and that he remains “very confident” of his innocence. ADVERTISEMENT The 2006 Bruguière warrants sparked major diplomatic fallout, including Rwanda cutting ties with France and large protests in Kigali. Subsequent French investigations under other judges later challenged Bruguière’s conclusions, with some forensic reviews pointing away from the RPF, though debates over the plane crash and its role in igniting the genocide continue among historians and legal experts. Kagame’s unapologetic stance in the interview underscored his view of the events as part of a legitimate war of liberation, where casualties on the opposing side, including the head of state, were an expected risk, and external judicial interference was unwelcome. He emphasized that in war, “it was possible that he could easily die,” and questioned why the same scrutiny would not apply symmetrically if roles were reversed.

  • 10 Unique Seychelles Species: Wildlife You Must See

    Discover 10 rare animal and plant species found only in Seychelles from giant tortoises to saucy coconuts all viewable by tourists in 2025. Seychelles may be famed for powdery beaches and gin-clear seas, but this little island nation hides a trove of one-of-a-kind creatures and plants you won’t find anywhere else. In-the-know locals will tell you the real magic happens when you wander off the sunbed and into the wild. From colossal Coco de Mer to birds back from the brink, here are ten endemic Seychelles species that’ll make you grab your binoculars (and give you serious bragging rights). Now, slap on some mosquito repellent, channel your inner Attenborough, and get ready to meet the Seychellois residents who put the “wild” in “wildlife.” Each entry comes with where to spot them, fun anecdotes, and how to enjoy the encounter because this is not your average beach holiday. 1.Seychelles Black Parrot :The “Black” Parrot That’s Actually Brown This drab-chic bird is Seychelles’ national icon, found only here. It isn’t truly black but smoky brown, blending into Praslin’s palm forests. Only a few hundred remain , mostly flitting around Praslin’s Vallée de Mai. Despite its low-key looks, this parrot can belt out a surprisingly shrill whistle from the canopy a treat if you’re lucky enough to hear it. Get a glimpse into the incredible Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve on Praslin, Seychelles. Often described as a "garden of Eden" and a UNESCO World Heritage site, this primeval forest is home to unique flora, including the famous coco de mer palm. The stunning image below, shared by @tour.parrot , Where to see them : Vallée de Mai on Praslin is prime habitat. Go at dawn with a guide, keep quiet, and listen for high-pitched squeals raining down from the palms. With luck you’ll spot one feasting on a wild papaya. It’s a treasure hunt vibe these parrots are elusive divas. But patience pays: snap a pic of a banded bird and you might get to name it in a conservation program. 2: La Digue’s Legendary “Widow” Seychelles Paradise Flycatcher La Digue’s Legendary “Widow”The male paradise flycatcher is goth-glam with inky-black plumage and a tail longer than its body. No wonder locals call it “veuve” (widow). This bird nearly vanished down to a few dozen on La Digue but now a few hundred exist (mostly on La Digue, plus some on Denis and Curieuse ). Males flaunt streaming tail feathers, females are chestnut-brown, and pairs perform acrobatic mid-air dances. It’s the fanciest aerial show in the archipelago, if you’re lucky enough to catch it. Where to see them: Continue Reading Full Article TRAVEL GUIDE 10 Unique Seychelles Species: Wildlife You Must See By Neema Asha Mwakalinga Travel & Culture Expert Neema Asha Mwakalinga Home Oct 16, 2025 May 15, 2026 14 min read Copy link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Published Updated: Endemic wildlife of Seychelles: Meet the rare black parrot, paradise flycatcher, and Coco de Mer in one wild island adventure. Seychelles may be famed for powdery beaches and gin-clear seas, but this little island nation hides a trove of one-of-a-kind creatures and plants you won’t find anywhere else. In-the-know locals will tell you the real magic happens when you wander off the sunbed and into the wild.

This drab-chic bird is Seychelles’ national icon, found only here. It isn’t truly black but smoky brown, blending into Praslin’s palm forests. Only a few hundred remain , mostly flitting around Praslin’s Vallée de Mai. Despite its low-key looks, this parrot can belt out a surprisingly shrill whistle from the canopy a treat if you’re lucky enough to hear it.

It’s a treasure hunt vibe these parrots are elusive divas. But patience pays: snap a pic of a banded bird and you might get to name it in a conservation program. 2: La Digue’s Legendary “Widow” Serving gothic elegance with a hint of drama, this La Digue beauty flaunts a tail longer than your holiday. Seychelles Paradise Flycatcher La Digue’s Legendary “Widow”The male paradise flycatcher is goth-glam with inky-black plumage and a tail longer than its body. No wonder locals call it “veuve” (widow). This bird nearly vanished down to a few dozen on La Digue but now a few hundred exist (mostly on La Digue, plus some on Denis and Curieuse ). Males flaunt streaming tail feathers, females are chestnut-brown, and pairs perform acrobatic mid-air dances. It’s the fanciest aerial show in the archipelago, if you’re lucky enough to catch it. Where to see them: La Digue’s Veuve Reserve is the place. Go at sunrise when these “widow” birds are most vocal you might hear a raspy call or see a flash of that long tail overhead. They swoop low to snatch insects, sometimes whizzing right past your nose. The experience feels like stepping into a 19th-century nature journal, especially if a ranger shares how this “bird of love” escaped extinction. ADVERTISEMENT 3.Seychelles Magpie Robin: Comeback Kid of Cousin Island Back from the brink and dressed to impress Cousin Island’s sassiest conservation comeback in monochrome. This dapper black-and-white songbird nearly blinked out by 1965 only 16 were left on one island. Thanks to rescue efforts, 500+ now sing across five islands a true conservation success story. The magpie robin is bold and curious, often following visitors down trails hoping we’ll stir up insects. They warble lively, personalized songs as if greeting you. Basically, they’re the unofficial welcoming committee of Seychelles’ forests cheeky, charming, and back from the brink. Where to see them: Hop a 15-minute boat from Praslin to Cousin Island a predator-free bird haven teeming with magpie robins. On guided walks, they often hop right up to your feet to show off their white wing patches. (One might even tug your shoelaces.) They live on other isles too, but Cousin is the easiest visit. It feels like avian utopia: birds everywhere with zero fear. Don’t be shocked if a robin practically eats from your hand – not bad for a species once nearly gone 4.Aldabra Giant Tortoise: Ancient Island Time Traveler the world’s largest tortoises , unique to Aldabra Ever met a 150-year-old, 250 kg local? On Seychelles’ remote Aldabra Atoll, herds of giant tortoises roam like it’s the Jurassic era. These are the world’s largest tortoises , unique to Aldabra about 100,000 of them live there . Slow, steady, and perpetually munching, they’ve watched centuries come and go. Each has personality: some crane their necks for a scratch, others gaze at you with world-weary eyes. They’re literally living time machines with shells. Where to see them: No need to voyage to far-off Aldabra. Take a short boat from Praslin to Curieuse Island , where hundreds of Aldabra giants wander freely. Picture a beach picnic where giant tortoises lumber over to check you out that’s Curieuse! You can also meet some on Moyenne Island near Mahé or at Victoria’s Botanical Gardens, but seeing them roaming wild on Curieuse is unbeatable. It’s surreal and zen watching these gentle giants at their unhurried pace (and please resist the urge to hitch a ride!). 5.Seychelles Flying Fox (Fruit Bat): Sunset Sky Surfer sunset and watch silhouettes of bats gliding like kites At dusk, look up: those “birds” against the sunset are actually fruit bats heading out to feed. The Seychelles flying fox the islands’ only native mammal has a foxy face and a 1.2 m wingspan . By day they hang in trees like upside-down umbrellas; by night they glide over beaches seeking mangoes and guavas. Locals have a love-hate for these critters: they’re key pollinators but also pesky fruit thieves. (Some still wind up as bat curry , but most people now stick to shooting them with cameras.) Where to see them: Almost anywhere at dusk. Park yourself on a beach (say Beau Vallon on Mahé or Anse Source d’Argent on La Digue) at sunset and watch silhouettes of bats gliding like kites. By day, look up into big trees – you’ll spot them snoozing in clusters. A bat encounter here is oddly serene: warm twilight, silent wings drifting by. And fear not these “flying foxes” want fruit, not blood. ADVERTISEMENT 6.Seychelles Kestrel: Pint-Sized Predator with Swagger Seychelles Kestrel Pint-Sized Predator with SwaggerThis pocket-sized falcon (about 20 cm tall) is Seychelles’ only native bird of prey Known as katiti in Creole, the Seychelles kestrel is brimming with attitude. It often skips nest-building and moves into tree holes or building ledges instead. Look for it perched on telegraph poles (or listen for its sharp kee-kee-kee call) as it scans for geckos and skinks to snatch . Unlike other kestrels, it doesn’t hover – it prefers a swift pounce. Small bird, big boss energy. Where to see them : Mahé is kestrel central. Scan the skies around granite cliffs and coconut groves especially in Morne Seychellois National Park for a tiny falcon silhouette. They also hunt above villages (one pair even nested in the airport rafters!). For better luck, have a guide whistle a katiti call during a hike; these curious raptors often swoop in to investigate. It’s thrilling when one glides close a pint-sized predator making a big impression. 7.Coco de Mer: The World’s Sauciest Coconut Coco de Mer The World’s Sauciest CoconutThis is the famous double coconut with the world’s largest seed – a cheeky butt-shaped nut up to 30 kg. Coco de Mer The World’s Sauciest CoconutThis is the famous double coconut with the world’s largest seed – a cheeky butt-shaped nut up to 30  kg . Found only on Praslin and Curieuse , the Coco de Mer palm has inspired plenty of legends. (Victorians even whispered that the palms “mated” on stormy nights!) Its enormous fan fronds form a cathedral-like canopy over primordial forest, making you feel like you’ve wandered into the Garden of Eden. No wonder some believed Seychelles was Eden blame it on this nut’s seductive charm. Where to see it: The ultimate spot is Vallée de Mai on Praslin, a UNESCO-listed reserve where thousands of Coco de Mer palms loom overhead (like a prehistoric movie set). Walk under their giant fan leaves and marvel at the massive nuts on the ground. It’s almost spiritual sunlight filtering through ancient fronds, hushed footsteps on thick leaf litter. Unforgettable. (And don’t even think about smuggling a coco de mer nut home it’s illegal. Stick to photos!) 8.Jellyfish Tree : The Unicorn of Mahé This oddball tree was long thought extinct until a handful were rediscovered on Mahé in the 1970s . Even today, fewer than 100 survive , clinging to a few high ridges. It’s named for seed pods that look like tiny jellyfish . Locals call it bwa mediz . Don’t expect a giant it’s a scraggly little tree with gnarled bark and modest white blooms. But what it lacks in looks it makes up in mystique. Spotting one is like finding a secret level in nature serious bragging rights for any plant nerd. ADVERTISEMENT Where to see it: Only on a few steep slopes of Mahé (Morne Seychellois National Park). Realistically, you’ll need a guide who knows the spot. There’s no marked trail to this tree; it’s a treasure you must hunt. The hike is half the fun: scrambling through jungle and over boulders until your guide finally whispers “here it is.” The jellyfish tree itself looks unremarkable, but that moment is pure gold. (If you can’t brave the trek, check the Victoria Botanical Garden they sometimes nurture a seedling or two.) 9.Seychelles Pitcher Plant: Carnivorous Cutie Would you dare get close to this carnivorous beauty? The Seychelles Pitcher Plant ( Nepenthes pervillei ) is a natural wonder of the islands Bet you didn’t expect a carnivorous plant in paradise. Nepenthes pervillei , Seychelles’ endemic pitcher plant , hides on mountaintops of Mahé and Silhouette. It grows on exposed granite ledges under blazing sun surviving by snacking on insects. Its speckled green-red pitchers collect rainwater and digestive juices to trap ants and flies. Hikers often mistake the little cup-shaped plants for odd flowers until they peek inside and see the remains of yesterday’s bugs. A bit gruesome, a lot cool a pint-sized Little Shop of Horrors amid the palms. Where to see it: Hike the Copolia Trail on Mahé. Near the summit, clusters of pitcher plants bask in full sun with their tiny cup mouths agape. Guides will point out these oddities to you. It’s a crazy sight: epic ocean views, granite outcrops, and little green carnivores at your feet. You might even catch one “in action” digesting a bug strangely transfixing (and slightly gross). Just don’t poke your finger in the fluid it’s not exactly coconut water. 10.Wright’s Gardenia: Aride’s Fragrant Secret Wright’s Gardenia Aride’s Fragrant SecretAride Island is the only place on Earth where the critically rare Wright’s gardenia grows . This small tree’s white, purple-flecked flowers are so fragrant their scent carries half a mile out to sea . Sail toward Aride in bloom season and you might smell it before you see it. Once upon a time gardenias grew on larger isles until logging wiped them out. Now about 2,900 trees flourish on tiny Aride a miraculous comeback for one of the world’s rarest (and most aromatic) trees. Where to see it: Aride Island is reachable by guided day trip from Praslin (April–October). It’s worth the voyage. Rangers lead you up gentle slopes to the gardenia groves, and you’ll likely smell that “island perfume” before you see the flowers. If you visit after rains, the trees might be in full bloom the blossoms practically hurl their fragrance at you. Standing on Aride with seabirds swirling and that intoxicating aroma in the air, you’ll understand why this tree is pure island magic. Rare, resilient, and absolutely unforgettable. There you have it ten wild reasons to peel yourself off that sun lounger and explore Seychelles beyond the sand. From meeting century-old tortoises to sniffing elusive blossoms, you’ve earned some epic travel tales to tell. A few tips from your clued-in local friend: go with certified guides for the best spotting chances, respect the wildlife (no petting, picking, or poking even if that Coco de Mer begs for a cheeky squeeze), and pack patience along with your sunscreen. Seychelles may be a tiny dot on the map, but it’s bursting with life found nowhere else. Get out there and make eye contact with a fruit bat, share a moment with a magpie robin, or simply stand in awe under ancient palms. Chances are, you’ll leave the islands not just with a tan, but with a newfound appreciation for the quirky, beautiful creatures that call this paradise home. And trust us that beats any souvenir T-shirt. Happy exploring! TRENDING NOW How to Check if You Must Submit a SARS Tax Return . Tax and Revenue How to Book a SARS Appointment Online .

  • DJ Toxxyk Court Hearing Postponed Over Defense Readiness

    A Kigali court postponed DJ Toxxyk’s detention hearing after defense lawyers said they were not ready to proceed. A Kigali court has postponed the hearing on the provisional detention of DJ Toxxyk after his defense team said it did not have sufficient time to prepare. The hearing, scheduled for January 7, 2026, was meant to determine whether the accused would remain in custody or be released on provisional bail. DJ Toxxyk informed the court that he was not ready to proceed, citing limited time to review the case file. His lawyers supported the request, explaining that the file was submitted shortly before the hearing date, leaving them without adequate time to examine the charges and supporting documents. The prosecution did not oppose the postponement but asked the court to ensure the defense would be fully prepared for the next hearing and avoid further delays. The presiding judge ruled that the hearing be postponed to January 14, 2026. DJ Toxxyk is facing four allegations, including illegal drug use, driving without a valid license, driving under the influence of alcohol, and involuntary manslaughter. Penalties for these offenses vary under the law and may include fines, imprisonment, or alternative sentences depending on the court’s ruling. The case is expected to resume next week.

  • Nicki Minaj Draws Criticism After Comment About JD Vance at TPUSA

    Nicki Minaj faced backlash after referring to JD Vance as an “assassin” while speaking at a Turning Point USA event. Nicki Minaj sparked controversy over the weekend after making an offhand remark about Vice President J.D. Vance during a public appearance at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest conference. The rapper was participating in an onstage conversation with Erika Kirk, the widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, when she mistakenly referred to Vance as an “assassin” while praising political figures she described as role models. The comment appeared to be unintentional, as Minaj paused mid-sentence and visibly reacted to the slip, prompting murmurs from the audience. The exchange occurred as Minaj was addressing young attendees and discussing her growing engagement with political issues. Moments earlier, she had spoken favorably about President Donald Trump and encouraged independent thinking among supporters. The incorrect reference to Vance, however, briefly shifted the tone of the event. Erika Kirk responded calmly, telling Minaj that she had “heard everything under the sun,” helping defuse the situation and move the discussion forward. The two continued their conversation, touching on social media criticism and public backlash, with Minaj later stating that she remains focused on positivity and personal growth. The moment drew attention online, particularly given the broader context surrounding political violence. Charlie Kirk was killed in September while speaking on a college campus in what authorities described as a politically motivated attack, a fact that made the remark especially sensitive for some observers. Minaj has not issued a separate statement addressing the comment, though video clips of the exchange circulated widely on social media following the event. This article is based on reporting by TMZ.
