San Siro Set for Partial Demolition as Milan and Inter Move Forward with New Stadium Plans

Fola Badmus02 mins

Milan, Italy — The iconic Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, more commonly known as San Siro, is set to be largely demolished following approval for AC Milan and Inter Milan to purchase the land where the stadium stands. However, a portion of the historic structure will remain intact. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the South-East corner of the stadium — including part of the ‘Curva Sud’ and the ‘orange’ stand — will be preserved as a nod to the venue’s rich footballing legacy. Roberto Spagnolo, project coordinator for Atalanta’s new stadium, detailed the demolition process in an interview with Gazzetta. “Demolition is carried out with mechanical machinery,” he explained. “First, non-concrete elements such as glass, barriers, and doors are removed. Then, giant hydraulic shears are used to dismantle the main structure, and finally, the concrete is separated from the reinforcing steel.” Demolition will begin from the roof and third tier, proceeding downwards. The new stadium is planned to be constructed in the current parking area adjacent to the Meazza, allowing matches to continue at San Siro during the build. The full demolition of the existing stadium is scheduled for 2031 or 2032, once the new venue is completed and operational.

Chiamaka Nnadozie Reveals Loneliness at Brighton

Fola Badmus03 mins

Super Falcons and Brighton goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie has opened up on the challenges she has faced since moving to England, admitting that she cries almost every day due to loneliness. The Nigerian international made the revelation on Nike and Versus’ show Nothing Off The Table, which explores what it takes to succeed at the highest level and what it truly means to be a global icon today. The show featured Lucy Bronze, Mariona Caldentey, Nnadozie, and Wieke Kaptein, who discussed topics ranging from football on the pitch to personal relationships off it. Speaking about adjusting to life in a new environment without family, friends, or familiar faces, Nnadozie revealed that her transition from Paris FC, where she spent five years, to Brighton was particularly tough. “It’s not really easy. People think you just come on the pitch and play, but they don’t know the struggles behind it. Since I moved to Brighton, I cry almost every day because I feel lonely. I miss my family,” Nnadozie said. She added that her teammates and coaches have been instrumental in helping her settle: “Thanks to my teammates and coaches, they always check up on me to make sure I’m okay. The most important thing is having people who genuinely care about you. Going on preseason with the team also helped me a lot; the unity and togetherness really made a difference.” Despite the challenges, the 24-year-old believes the experience has made her stronger and more independent. “There were things I thought I couldn’t do on my own, but now I can. I never believed I could live alone, but I’m doing that now. I think I’m becoming a woman, which is really good.” Since her arrival, Nnadozie has quickly become a fan favourite at Brighton. She has impressed in her first four games, keeping two clean sheets and helping her side to two wins, one draw, and a loss.

Fola Badmus05 mins

A Delta-based journalist, Oghenedoro Tega Fejiro Oliver, has been charged by the Delta State Police Command for allegedly cyberstalking Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and Senator Ede Dafinone through a series of Facebook posts described by the police as “defamatory.”   According to court documents filed at the Asaba Judicial Division, the police alleged that Oliver, “between the months of August and July, 2025, in Asaba within Asaba Judicial Division did make publications on your Facebook account with name – Fejiro Oliver, cyberstalking His Excellency Sheriff Oborevwori the Governor of Delta State.”   In the charge, Oliver was accused of stating that “the Governor travelled to Brazil without the people knowing and making it ‘Hush-Hush’, ‘the governor gave contracts to his boys worth billions of Naira for rigging election’, ‘the Governor sent government officials to China, spending millions of Dollars only to go and inspect CNG buses instead of attracting investor.’”   He was further said to have written that “the governor is a sleeping governor who rigged election,” a statement the police claim was “aimed at destroying his reputation and thereby committed an offence punishable under section 24 (2) (c) (ii) of the Cybercrime (Prohibition Prevention etc) Act, 2015, as amended.”   In a separate charge, the journalist was accused of making similar publications against Senator Ede Dafinone, who represents Delta Central Senatorial District.   The police alleged that Oliver, “between the months of May, and July, 2025, in Asaba within Asaba Judicial Division did make publications on your Facebook account with name – Fejiro Oliver, cyberstalking Senator Ede Dafinone, currently representing Delta Central Senatorial District in the Nigerian Senate,” describing him as “grossly incompetent senator,” “sleeping senator,” “betraying ingrate,” “Dodo Senator,” “POS Senator,” “Scammer in NASS,” and that “Senator Ede Dafinone must be recalled from the Senate.”   The publication, according to the charge, was “aimed at destroying his reputation and thereby committed an offence punishable under section 24 (2) (c) (ii) of the Cybercrime (Prohibition Prevention etc) Act, 2015, as amended.”   The charge sheet, dated the 3rd day of October, 2025, was signed by R.O. Eze Esq., Legal Officer, Directorate of Legal Services, Delta State Police Command, Asaba.   Fejiro’s lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, described the charges as frivolous and desperate attempt to keep his client in custody.   SaharaReporters earlier reported that the Federal High Court in Asaba, Delta State, had given the Nigeria Police Force 48 hours to show cause why Delta-born journalist Tega Oghenedoro, popularly known as Fejiro Oliver, should not be released unconditionally after spending 16 days in detention on allegations of cyberstalking. The order was issued on Thursday, October 2, 2025, by Hon. Justice F. A. Olubanjo, following an ex parte application filed by Fejiro’s counsel and human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong.   Fejiro, the editor of Secret Reporters, has been a vocal critic of Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and other government officials.   He was arrested at his Abuja office on September 18, 2025, and flown to Asaba after a petition was lodged against him by the Delta governor.

He commended Kanyeyachukwu, a non-verbal teenager on the autism spectrum, for using art as a powerful medium of self-expression, courage, and impact.   “At just 15, Kanyeyachukwu has accomplished what many would deem impossible. His record-breaking canvas, now recognised globally as the largest in the world created by an individual, is not only a personal triumph but also a powerful reminder that impossibility is truly a myth,” Sanwo-Olu said.   The Governor noted that the infinity symbol at the centre of the painting is a profound call for inclusion, acceptance and hope for persons living with autism, urging society to create more opportunities for every young person, regardless of their circumstances.   Sanwo-Olu stressed that Lagos State remains committed to supporting young people, whom he described as “the heartbeat of innovation and the stewards of our future”. He emphasised that the government will continue to invest in platforms that nurture youth talent, creativity and global competitiveness.   “On behalf of the Government and people of Lagos State, I congratulate Kanyeyachukwu for showcasing the Nigerian spirit of resilience and excellence on a global stage.

Lagos Govt Deepens Citizens’ Engagement Through Transport Survey

Fola Badmus05 mins

The Lagos State Government has reaffirmed its commitment to inclusive and data-driven governance through a one-day training programme for field officers tasked with conducting the People’s Perception Survey on Lagos State Public Transportation Systems.   The Lagos Bureau of Statistics, in collaboration with the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) and the Lagos Ferry Services Company (LAGFERRY), convened a one-day training session for field officers tasked with conducting the People’s Perception Survey on Lagos State Public Transportation Systems. The exercise will cover Road (BRT), Rail (Red Line and Blue Line), and Water (Ferry Services). The training, held at the Debt Management Office (DMO) in Ikeja on Thursday, brought together coordinators, supervisors, and enumerators from across the state who will engage commuters and collect feedback on the rail, road, and water transport services provided by the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) and the Lagos Ferry Services Company.   The survey is designed to capture how Lagosians truly experience public transportation, not just in terms of service delivery, but in terms of impact. It’s a listening exercise, a mirror held up to the system, and a tool for shaping smarter and more inclusive policies. It aligns with Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu’s THEMES Plus development agenda, which emphasises traffic management, transportation, health, education, technology, and inclusive governance.   Delivering the keynote address, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Economic Planning and Budget (MEPB), Mrs. Olayinka Ojo, represented by the Director Economic Intelligence Department, Mr. Alao Akinkunmi, commended LAMATA and Lagos Ferry Services for embracing transparency and accountability through citizen engagement.   In her words, “This initiative shows we are learning, adapting, and evolving to meet the real needs of our citizens,” she said. “Field officers are the first and most critical link in the data value chain. Their accuracy and professionalism directly influence how effectively the government can plan, allocate resources, and evaluate programmes.”   The Permanent Secretary also highlighted the importance of empathy and public trust in the data collection process, urging enumerators to approach their work with integrity and respect for the voices of everyday Lagosians. “When citizens feel heard, they are more likely to participate, and that participation strengthens our democracy,” she said.   She expressed confidence that the training would empower field officers to deliver high-quality data that would shape the future of mobility in Lagos State.   The Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) representative, Mr. Ayodeji Adegboye, offered practical guidance to enumerators, highlighting peak operational hours (6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.) and the importance of understanding the various transport systems from the Ikorodu-TBS BRT to standard bus routes like Abule Egba and Oshodi, and the seven-seater (FLM) buses.   He urged officers to be patient, punctual, and professional, noting that their role is vital in clarifying transport options to the public and gathering meaningful feedback
