May 2025 Archive: Four stories that mattered

Four pieces stood out on Africa Daily Insight this month: Kenya’s new color-coded household waste rules, Braga’s run in the Primeira Liga, Game 2 of the Warriors vs Timberwolves NBA playoff series, and a major N71.2bn student loan scandal in Nigeria. Each story affects real people — from how households handle trash to students waiting on loans, and sports fans tracking momentum shifts. Below you’ll find what happened, why it matters, and what to watch next.

What happened and why it matters

Kenya ordered households to sort trash into green, blue, and red bags — organic, recyclables, and hazardous waste. The plan pairs color‑coded bags with GPS-tracked collection trucks and new recycling facilities. For residents, that means a small change at home but a bigger push toward less landfill use and more recycling. If you live in Kenya, start separating food scraps from plastics and batteries now — it’ll save you fines and help recycling systems work.

In sports, Braga arrived in form, looking for a sixth straight win against a struggling Gil Vicente. Our piece lays out why Braga are favorites: momentum, recent stats, and squad depth. For betting or watching, consider Braga’s home and away records and goal patterns. If you follow Portuguese football, this match could shape Braga’s season push.

The NBA playoffs story focused on Warriors vs Timberwolves Game 2. Golden State took Game 1 behind a big performance from Buddy Hield. Game 2 moves to Minnesota where the Wolves need to respond. We gave broadcast and streaming details so fans won’t miss it, plus the key matchups to watch: perimeter shooting, defense on transition, and bench scoring. For viewers, game location matters — home crowds often swing tight series.

In Nigeria, activists flagged a N71.2bn gap in student loan funds from the Nigeria Education Loan Fund. Only N28.8bn of a released N100bn reportedly reached students. The call for a fast ICPC probe highlights wider concerns about accountability in public spending. If you’re a student or parent, follow official updates and any repayment or support changes announced by authorities.
