Meanwhile, NBA lovers should keep an eye on the salary cap jump to $154.6 million for the 2025‑26 season. The new cap means teams have more money to chase star players, and the free‑agency buzz starts early summer. Follow the news to see which teams will make big moves.

Cultural & Travel Buzz

Reality TV isn’t taking a break either. The Love Island USA Season 7 reunion aired on August 26, and fans are already debating the edits. If you missed it, the episode is replayed on major streaming services, and the after‑show podcasts give you a deeper dive into the drama.

Travelers heading to Lagos will notice a new parking policy that adds an N80,000 annual fee per slot. The move aims to curb traffic, but many drivers are pushing back. If you’re planning a road trip through Nigeria this summer, factor in the extra cost when budgeting.

For those looking for summer festivals, keep an eye on local event calendars in major African cities. Summer events often combine music, food, and cultural showcases, giving you a taste of the region’s vibe. Check Duma Travel News regularly for updates on dates and ticket info.
