According to TMZ, the minimalist beach pad designed by award-winning Japanese architect Tadao Ando was put up for sale last year for $75 million, however the house didn’t sell quickly because it’s small and intended for the super rich.

The $57 million paid by Kanye West is the second highest price paid for a Malibu home this year, reports Dirt.

Sold by retired Wall Street financier Richard Sachs, The structure reportedly required 1,200 tons of poured concrete, 200 tons of steel reinforcement and 12 pylons driven 60 feet into the ground, supporting the monstrously heavy house from sinking into the sand.

Built in 2013, The 3-story sculpture-esque home features three guest bedrooms on the ground floor, with a living room, kitchen, and powder room on the second floor. The top floor contains a penthouse-level bedroom suite and rooftop oceanside terrace.

Kanye’s new home is just 30-minutes away from his massive Hidden Hills estate where his estranged wife, Kim Kardashian and their four children still live.

The vaguely Brutalist-inspired house is the latest addition to his collection of homes, which includes a vast ranch in a semi-remote pocket of Wyoming, a Brutalist-inspired condo in Calabasas and two minimalist condos in a brick New York City building. He’s also got more than 300 acres of vacant hillside land on the Calabasas outskirts, where he once attempted to build a mysterious “village” of dome-like homes.

The FCT Minister–Soldier Standoff: A Test of Civil Authority and the Rule of Law

On November 11, 2025, Nigerians watched in disbelief as a video surfaced showing a tense confrontation between the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and a group of armed soldiers who blocked his convoy from accessing a disputed piece of land in Gaduwa, Abuja. The incident, brief but dramatic, was more than a moment of political theatre. It struck at the heart of a much bigger issue — the place of the military in a democracy, and the sanctity of civilian authority under the Nigerian Constitution. The Legal Position: Who Was Right? The Minister’s Authority Under Section 302 of the 1999 Constitution and the FCT Act , the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory exercises the executive powers of the President within Abuja. That means the Minister is not just a political appointee — he represents federal executive authority . His duties include overseeing land allocation, urban planning, and the enforcement of development control through the Federal Capital T...

Nigeria: On the Right of Self-Defence and Protection of National Sovereignty

Kebbi’s 3 a.m. Withdrawal Shows Why President Tinubu’s Security Reforms Can’t Wait

When Governor Nasir Idris of Kebbi State revealed that security personnel deployed to vulnerable communities were withdrawn at 3:00 a.m.—just 45 minutes before an attack—Nigerians reacted with shock, anger, and a single question that refuses to disappear: Who gave the withdrawal order? It is a fair question. It is also one that may take time, investigation, and institutional honesty to answer. But the Kebbi incident exposes a deeper truth about security management in Nigeria: our command structure is too fragmented for a country battling multi-layered threats. And this, more than anything, validates President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s push for a centralised, technology-driven, and accountable security coordination model. Nigeria’s security agencies—military, police, DSS, civil defence, intelligence units—operate in parallel lanes with overlapping mandates. State governors, despite bearing the title “Chief Security Officer,” have no legal authority over federal forces. This incoheren...
