NWFL Launches Mandatory Digital Registration and Licensing Portal for 2025/26 Premiership Season

Fola Badmus03 mins

The Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) has launched a compulsory digital portal for player registration and club licensing ahead of the 2025/26 season. The initiative was announced in a statement issued on Friday, November 14, by the league’s Media Director, Samuel Ahmadu, as part of ongoing efforts to modernise administrative processes and strengthen regulatory compliance across the league. Confirming the development, Chief Operating Officer Modupe Shabi said the digital platform represents a significant advancement in the NWFL’s governance standards. “This platform is designed to eliminate manual delays, minimise documentation errors, and provide real-time oversight of all registration activities. It is an important step toward making the NWFL more efficient and globally competitive,” she said. Shabi noted that the portal’s verification features will play a critical role in reducing common infractions such as age falsification, dual registration, and irregular player movement. “The system gives the league the ability to authenticate submitted documents instantly. It strengthens integrity, ensures accountability, and aligns us with international best practices,” she added. The NWFL COO also disclosed that the initiative received strong endorsement from club representatives during the recent Congress in Port Harcourt, where stakeholders approved the digital migration as essential to improving organisational efficiency and strengthening league structures. Under the updated NWFL Registration and Club Licensing Regulations, all clubs are required to complete their player registration exclusively through the new portal from November 14 to 21, 2025. Required documentation includes national identification, passport photographs, verified age records, academic credentials, medical fitness reports, and digitally signed player contracts. Licensing submissions also mandate coaching licences, stadium certification, audited financial statements, ownership documents, and evidence of youth development structures. According to the NWFL secretariat, the digital portal is also a strategic tool to enhance the marketability of the league by improving transparency, data integrity, and administrative professionalism, key requirements for attracting sponsors, commercial partners, and international collaborations.

JUST IN: PDP Expels Wike, Fayose, Anyanwu

Wale busari03 mins

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expelled Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike, former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, and former party secretary Samuel Anyanwu. The expulsion motion was presented by Chief Olabode George, former PDP National Vice Chairman (South), at the ongoing convention in Ibadan, Oyo State, and seconded by Hon. Samaila Burga, PDP Chairman in Bauchi State. Prior to the convention, Wike’s loyal faction had sought to halt the gathering through the courts. However, a High Court in Oyo ruled in favor of the party, allowing the convention to proceed. In the lead-up to the event, Mao Ohabunwa, chairman of the Board of Trustees for the Wike-led faction, dismissed the convention as unlawful and advised members to avoid attending. He described it as a “jamboree,” saying: “We have met as the national working committee of PDP and reviewed our activities. We have agreed to obey all court decisions on the Ibadan convention, so we are not part of the exercise. Ibadan is a public place; people can go for anything but not for a convention. Anyone going there in the name of the convention should consider it a jamboree. We won’t tolerate flagrant abuse of the constitution by some individuals in the name of a convention.” Abdulrahman Muhammad, the faction’s acting national chairman, also urged delegates to stay away, promising to continue mobilizing members across the 36 states and the FCT to maintain a strong and united PDP. Meanwhile, Wike praised party members for defending the PDP in their local areas, vowing to uphold the rule of law and support those loyal to the party constitution. He added: “I am happy with your concern about the party in your respective areas. I will continue to support you people; I won’t betray you people.”

World Cup Play-off Final: Ekong says Eagles Will Be Up to Leopards’ Challenge

Wale busari05 mins

Nigeria’s captain William Ekong has admitted that the Leopards of Democratic Republic of Congo will be a mountain to climb in Sunday’s Final of the FIFA World Cup Africa Playoff Tournament, but assured that the Super Eagles have the ammunition to prevail at the Complexe Sportif Prince Moulay El Hassan. Both countries, who share five African titles between them, clash in a high-stakes game that will produce Africa’s representative at the Intercontinental Playoffs for two more slots at the 2026 FIFA World Cup finals. That tournament will take place in Mexico in four months. “There is no doubt that the Congolese will be a big challenge. They got here because they are tough and ambitious, and also want to go to the World Cup. “However, we have a large group of players here, 24 of them, out of which only about four of us have been to the World Cup (in 2018). There is that adrenalin flowing in their system to go to the World Cup and I see it as a big motivation for us to conquer on Sunday.” Ekong, Alex Iwobi, Wilfred Ndidi and Chidozie Awaziem are the only members of the present squad who were part of the squad to Russia 2018. Coach Éric Chelle’s ensemble must beware of a number of predators in the Congo squad, including Spain-based Cédric Bakambu, France-based Nathaniel Mbuku, former Russia U21 star Theo Bongonda and Pyramid of Egypt’s Fiston Mayele. English Premiership’s Noah Sadiki and Spain-based Charles Pickel are to hold in midfield, while the attack-minded Aaron Wan-Bissaka leads a compact defence that also includes captain Chancel Mbemba, who is looking forward to his 101st cap. Chelle has all his 24 players available for selection, including Iwobi who will be winning his 91st cap and Simon Moses who will collect his 87th, and Ekong said on Saturday afternoon that the entire group is focused on emerging victorious on Sunday evening. “We would have preferred to have taken the automatic ticket but it didn’t work out. Now, we are here and we have a second chance and we do not intend to bungle it.” Sunday’s match will kick off at 8pm.

Ned Nwoko Confirms Regina Daniels’ Leaked Medical Report Is Authentic

Wale busari03 mins

Senator Ned Nwoko has responded to the controversy surrounding a leaked medical report about his estranged wife, actress Regina Daniels, confirming the authenticity of the documents and raising alarm over her health. In a statement, Nwoko said both a toxicology report and assessments from a rehabilitation center revealed that Regina tested positive for marijuana, cocaine, morphine, opiates, and alcohol at dangerously high levels. He also highlighted a Nizamiya Hospital report from October 3, which showed that she was admitted unconscious following a drug overdose. The senator criticized interference from some family members during her rehabilitation, accusing them of enabling her substance use and preventing effective treatment. He stressed that private efforts to help her had failed, making public intervention necessary. Nwoko explained that his insistence on therapy comes from concern for Regina’s well-being and the safety of their two young sons. He claimed that her recent actions suggest she is vulnerable and being exploited, and that consistent treatment and support are essential to ensure she can make safe, clear-minded decisions. “Given the severity of the substances detected and the documented hospital emergency, this is no longer an issue that can be handled quietly. Regina needs structured support, protection, and rehabilitation to regain her health and stability,” he said. Meanwhile, Regina Daniels publicly expressed appreciation to Serenity Royale Hospital, which denied leaking the medical report. She thanked the hospital for upholding patient confidentiality and standing by the truth, acknowledging the emotional toll the leak had on her. The situation has intensified public scrutiny over her health, highlighting the tension between privacy, family dynamics, and the urgent need for intervention to ensure her safety.

Actress Princess Issues Stark Warning After Baba Ijesha’s Prison Release

Wale busari03 mins

Nigerian actress Princess has issued a passionate public alert following the release of comedian Baba Ijesha from prison, branding him a convicted serial pedophile and rapist with a trail of victims. In a recent Instagram video, Princess urged schools, hotels, and landlords to bar him from their properties, emphasizing the need to shield children and vulnerable individuals from further harm. She also demanded that the Lagos State Government officially list his name in a public registry of sex offenders, pointing to his pattern of assaults followed by abrupt relocations to evade accountability. Reaffirming her earlier accusations, Princess recounted how Baba Ijesha sexually assaulted her 14-year-old foster daughter. “I’m speaking out now to protect others,” she declared, vowing not to stay silent despite backlash. In the video, she addressed critics directly: “I can see some people cursing me, saying God will punish me after Baba Ijesha was released from prison. God doesn’t support child defilement. You all can send your daughters to him for Christmas. Baba Ijesha is a convicted serial pedophile and rapist. He had dozens of victims. I am now calling on schools, hotels, and landlords not to allow him in their premises. “His full name is Olanrewaju James Omiyinka. I am also calling on the Lagos State Government to publish his name publicly as a sex offender. He rapes both young and adults. This is how he operates: after he has assaulted a child somewhere, he will leave his house in the middle of the night and relocate. He has lived in Mafoluku, Oworo, Lagos Island, and more.”   View this post on Instagram
