May was a busy month on Cycad Africa Daily News. From military recruitment drives in Nigeria to a Kenyan senator’s reduced suspension, and from celebrity gossip that had fans buzzing to a major fashion moment at the Met Gala, we’ve got the highlights you need right here.
If you’ve been thinking about a career in the armed forces, the Nigerian Army’s 89th Regular Recruits Intake is the chance you’ve been waiting for. Applications are open until May 7, 2025, and the process is completely free online. Whether you’re a tradesman, a non‑tradesman, or even a woman looking to serve, the army is accepting a wide range of applicants. The goal? Boost national security with fresh talent. So, grab a laptop, fill out the form, and you could be part of Nigeria’s next generation of soldiers.
Kenyan politics got a surprise when Senator Gloria Orwoba started serving a shortened 30‑day suspension. Initially, she faced a 79‑day ban after a misconduct ruling, but an apology cut the penalty down. During the suspension, she loses all parliamentary privileges, meaning no voting, no committee work, and no speaking on the floor until mid‑March 2025. It’s a clear reminder that public officials are held to a higher standard, and a quick apology can sometimes ease the fallout.
Sports fans weren’t the only ones watching the Knicks‑Celtics playoff game on May 12. Stefon Diggs and Cardi B were spotted courtside, sparking a wave of romance rumors. The pair showed obvious chemistry, feeding the gossip mill that’s been buzzing since their first public sighting. Even Cardi’s ex, Offset, seemed to give a nod of approval. Whether it’s true love or just a friendly hangout, the moment added a pop‑culture flare to an already intense basketball night.
The 2025 Met Gala turned heads when Rihanna stepped onto the red carpet in a striking Marc Jacobs look that proudly displayed her baby bump. The theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” perfectly matched her sleek silhouette. A$AP Rocky confirmed the couple’s growing family, and fans instantly flooded social media with praise. It wasn’t just a fashion statement; it was a powerful personal announcement that blended style, family, and cultural pride.
That’s the snapshot of May 2025 on Cycad Africa Daily News. From national security updates to political accountability, and from sports‑court romance to high‑fashion family news, the month offered a little something for every reader. Stay tuned for more in‑depth coverage as the stories develop, and keep checking back for the latest African headlines.
