    Alexa News Network CEO urges empathy-driven storytelling and resilience in 2026

    In a New Year message carried via Africa Newsroom, Alexa News Network founder Jokpeme Joseph Omode urged audiences to approach 2026 with resilience and empathy, while reaffirming commitments around inclusive, credible reporting.

    The statement positions journalism as social glue—storytelling that informs, bridges divides, and maintains relevance “across borders,” particularly in a crowded digital news landscape.

    It also doubles as a brand signal: credibility and consistency are competitive advantages when attention is fragmented and trust is contested.

    Alexa.ng published the same message, including the line “embrace resilience” and “empathy” to bridge divides. Africa24TV also reproduced the statement and echoed the same appeal about empathy and shared prosperity, repeating “bridge divides” as a central theme.

    Echotitbits take:
    Messaging is easy—standards are hard. Watch whether Alexa backs this with verifiable beat expertise, corrections culture, and original reporting that earns citations from other credible outlets.

    Tinubu says 2026 begins a “more robust phase” for Nigeria’s economic growth

    According to Vanguard, President Bola Tinubu said 2026 would mark the beginning of a more robust phase of economic growth as reforms mature.

    The messaging positions recent macro decisions—subsidy removal, FX changes, and fiscal tightening—as a bridge from instability toward higher growth and investor confidence.

    Household pressure points—prices, jobs and purchasing power—remain the practical scorecard for whether the optimism resonates.

    Punch also framed the outlook as Tinubu pledging a “strong economic rebound.”

    The Guardian Nigeria similarly carried the “more robust phase of economic growth” line in its reporting of the New Year message.

    Echotitbits take:

    The market will judge by outcomes: inflation direction, FX stability, real wages, and whether power/transport constraints ease. Watch Q1 indicators and whether policy consistency holds under social pressure.
