Top Story: In Japan, “Good Samaritan” Idris Ayodeji Bello Steps Up to Volunteer as Booth Representative at Tokyo International Conference on African Development
At the ongoing Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD9), Nigerian entrepreneur and investor Idris Ayodeji Bello has captured attention for a remarkable act of volunteerism.
When he noticed Nigeria’s booth unattended at the summit, Bello stepped forward to represent his country, transforming this absence into a story of initiative, pride, and resilience.
Dressed in traditional Nigerian attire, Bello quickly found himself approached by Japanese visitors curious about investment opportunities in Africa’s largest economy. Rather than walk away, he embraced the role.
“Only God knows how many Japanese folks have asked me about the unmanned booth seeing my dressing. I have now designated myself as Honorary Consul and taken over the booth to engage visitors,” he shared on X.

Nigerian Startup, Case Radar, Launches Generative AI Platform to Aid Lawyers, Students, Citizens
Nigerian startup, Case Radar, has launched a generative artificial intelligence platform for the legal sector, promising to make Nigerian laws and court judgments instantly accessible to lawyers, students, and the public.
Agbo Obinnaya, the company’s CEO, says the platform addresses a deep-rooted problem: most people struggle to access clear law and legal guidance, and rely on traditional processes that limit their workflow.
“It’s not just about automating legal tasks; it’s about democratising the law, giving both lawyers and the public the ability to access accurate legal information instantly,” he said in a recent statement.
