Trump Urges Australia To Grant Asylum To Iranian Women’s Football Team After Not Reciting Regime’s Anthem

Wale busari03 mins

United States President Donald Trump has urged Australia to offer asylum to the Iranian women’s football team, warning that the US would step in to provide refuge if Australia does not act. The call comes amid concerns for the players’ safety after they did not sing Iran’s national anthem before their opening match at the Asian Cup in Gold Coast, raising fears of persecution if they return home. Normally, the team would have departed after being eliminated at the group stage following Sunday’s 2-1 defeat to the Philippines, but reports indicate they remain in Australia. On Monday, reports suggested that the Australian Federal Police (AFP) assisted five team members in leaving their team base and moving to a safe house. Neither the AFP nor the Department of Home Affairs has officially commented. Trump posted on Truth Social: “Australia is making a terrible humanitarian mistake by allowing the Iran National Women’s Soccer team to be forced back to Iran, where they will most likely be killed. Don’t do it, Mr. Prime Minister, give asylum. The U.S. will take them if you won’t. Thank you for your attention to this matter. President Donald J. Trump.” FIFA confirmed it is in “close contact” with Australian authorities, emphasizing that the players’ safety and security are its top priorities. The squad sang the national anthem and saluted during their final two matches, but their initial refusal drew criticism from supporters of the Iranian regime. The situation unfolds against the backdrop of escalating tensions following US and Israeli airstrikes on Iran, prompting retaliatory attacks on Gulf states hosting US military bases. These developments have disrupted travel and planning across the region, including Iraq’s preparations for a World Cup play-off match in Mexico on March 31. Iraq’s coach, Australian Graham Arnold, proposed rescheduling the match against Bolivia or Suriname before the World Cup finals in June. He added that if Iran withdraws, Iraq could take their place, with the UAE stepping into Iraq’s play-off position.

“Dem Only Sabi Arrest Money Spenders’ – Bobrisky Criticizes Nigerian Government Over Insecurity

Wale busari02 mins

Popular influencer Bobrisky has voiced strong criticism of the Nigerian government, highlighting the country’s struggles with insecurity and lack of support for citizens during international crises. In posts on Instagram, Bobrisky condemned how armed bandits openly display their faces and ransom money online without facing consequences, while government agencies like the EFCC focus on prosecuting people for activities such as spraying money at parties. “Only in Nigeria bandit will collect ransom and still post their face and the cash online because they know Nigeria govt have no power over them. EFCC won’t see those ones and go after them but will go after people for spraying money in a party… I regret I was born in Nigeria. Shame!!!!!!” he wrote. He also questioned the government’s response to the growing conflict between the United States and Iran, pointing out that other countries are evacuating their citizens while Nigeria appears inactive. “See dis war happening btw USA and Iran. Other countries are sending planes to evacuate their citizens living in Iran. Where’s Nigeria aircraft… nowhere to be found. Their citizens should die with the war abi? I’m never coming to that country never!!!!! Have had enough,” he added. Bobrisky’s comments have ignited discussions on social media, with many Nigerians agreeing with his frustrations about government inefficiency and public safety, while others debated his blunt approach and choice of platform for airing these concerns.

Wale busari01 mins

Zamfara State Governor Dauda Lawal and his deputy have officially left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to join the All Progressives Congress (APC). The defection was confirmed by Deputy Governor Mani Malam Mummuni, who spoke on behalf of Governor Lawal during a ceremony attended by party members and government officials. Mummuni formally announced that the state’s executive leadership had realigned with the APC. The move comes after weeks of speculation about the Governor’s political direction. The transition was symbolically marked by the removal of the PDP flag from Zamfara Government House, witnessed by Mummuni and members of Lawal’s cabinet.

Manchester City’s Rodri Fined £80,000 For Criticizing Referee After Tottenham Draw

Wale busari01 mins

Manchester City midfielder Rodri has been fined £80,000 after publicly questioning the neutrality of referee Robert Jones following the 2-2 draw with Tottenham on February 1. City had taken a 2-0 lead by halftime, but Tottenham fought back, with Dominic Solanke scoring twice to secure a late equalizer. Rodri was particularly frustrated by Solanke’s first goal, which he felt involved a clear foul on Marc Guehi. After the match, Rodri commented: “I know we won too much and the people don’t want us to win, but the referee has to be neutral. It’s not fair because we work so hard. When everything is finished, you are frustrated because the foul is so clear.” The Football Association handed down the fine after reviewing Rodri’s remarks, emphasizing that players are expected to refrain from publicly questioning match officials’ impartiality.

Sheikh Gumi Urges Government To Negotiate With Armed Groups Instead Of Spending Trillions On Military

Wale busari03 mins

Islamic scholar and security expert Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has once again called on the federal government to shift its strategy on national security, urging officials to negotiate with armed groups rather than relying solely on military force. In a recent interview, Gumi criticized the government’s “kinetic” approach, saying it has consistently failed to restore peace and only intensifies violence. He extended his call to include separatist groups, saying: “Even IPOB, who wants succession, if they lay down arms and negotiate, I will support them. We can’t keep buying guns while society burns.” Gumi argued that the billions of naira spent on military operations often fail to address the root causes of insecurity, noting that some funds end up enriching officers instead of curbing conflict. “If you give the military money, they will go and buy houses abroad. We need to break the cycle of using guns as a solution,” he said. Highlighting the shortcomings of current tactics, the cleric pointed out that eliminating Boko Haram leaders or launching raids on bandits has not weakened these groups, but rather made them more resilient and violent, worsening insecurity across the North-East, North-West, and South-East regions. Gumi also criticized the government’s spending priorities, insisting that trillions spent on defense could instead be invested in essential infrastructure such as roads, electricity, and education. “Electricity is erratic and very expensive. Roads are terrible. Nothing is working here. Spending that money on defense is just wasting resources,” he said, emphasizing that improving social infrastructure could have a longer-lasting impact on national security.

Dangote Refinery Increases Petrol Price To N1,175 Per Litre, Third Hike In A Week

Wale busari02 mins

Fuel prices in Nigeria are set to climb again after Dangote Petroleum Refinery raised the gantry price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) to N1,175 per litre, marking the third increase in just one week. The hike, communicated to marketers on Monday, follows a temporary suspension of petrol sales at the refinery on Sunday, which had already sparked fears of rising fuel costs. The latest adjustment raises the price from N995 per litre announced on Friday, representing an 18.1 percent jump within three days. Diesel, or Automotive Gas Oil, also saw a price revision, with the gantry rate now set at N1,620 per litre. A senior refinery official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the increase and explained that it reflects shifting replacement costs and a volatile market. “The market has been extremely volatile, and replacement costs have shifted significantly in recent days. These adjustments reflect prevailing market fundamentals and the cost environment we are currently operating in,” the official said. Data from petroleumprice.ng show that the revised rates have already been updated across depot pricing systems, signaling a new benchmark for downstream marketers. This marks the third petrol price surge in a week, following previous adjustments that pushed gantry prices from N774 to N995 per litre. Retail prices in several states have now surpassed N1,000 per litre, with some stations selling petrol at around N1,200 per litre, adding further pressure on household budgets and the economy.

Wale busari01 mins

The Rivers State House of Assembly has rejected four commissioner nominees sent forward by Governor Siminalayi Fubara. The nominees underwent screening on Monday at the State Assembly in Port Harcourt. Those confirmed for appointment include Mr. Tonye Bellgam, Professor Temple Nwofor, Dr. Peters Nwagor, Mr. Lekue Kenneth, and Sir Amairigha Edward Hart. The four nominees who were not approved are Professor Datonye Alasia, Mrs. Charity Deemua, Tamuno Williams, and Otonye TKD Amachree. The Assembly cited “poor performance” as the reason for Professor Alasia’s rejection. Alasia is the former Chief Medical Advisory Committee (CMAC) of the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH). Amachree was turned down following more than 11 petitions from members of his community regarding his involvement in local matters. Mrs. Deemua failed to present her tax clearance documents, while Williams was denied confirmation over allegations of misleading the public about the Assembly’s activities.
