Wale busari02 mins

Singer Peter Okoye has addressed criticism from a social media user who questioned why he has not been speaking out about the challenges currently facing Nigeria. The conversation began after the musician shared a playful post on X (formerly Twitter) about enjoying his time in Abuja. “Enjoyment wan kill me for Abuja🙃☺️” His tweet prompted a response from a user who appeared disappointed that he was not commenting on the country’s situation. “So all these things wey dey happen for the country no concern you? Omo 😩” In reply, Peter explained that he had previously used his platform to support national causes and believes he has already contributed his part. “I’ve already played my part from the last election to the End SARS movement. At this point, I’m choosing to focus on my life and my family. Everyone has their own role to play. 🤓” His response has since sparked discussions online, with some people supporting his decision to prioritize his personal life, while others argued that public figures should continue to speak up about national issues.

Appeal Court Upholds Ruling Barring PDP Ibadan Convention That Produced Turaki Factional Leadership

Wale busari02 mins

The Court of Appeal in Abuja on Monday upheld an earlier ruling that prevented the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from holding the national convention conducted in Ibadan, Oyo State, on November 15 and 16, 2026. The convention had produced a factional leadership within the party, with Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Taminu Turaki, emerging as National Chairman. Delivering a unanimous verdict, a three-member panel of the appellate court held that the necessary legal requirements were not fulfilled before the convention took place. The court ruled that Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja acted correctly in his October 31, 2025 judgment that stopped the planned convention. It also rejected the argument by the Turaki-led faction that the court had no authority to intervene in the internal affairs of the party. According to the appellate court, the Federal High Court was justified in assuming jurisdiction because the case involved ensuring compliance with the Electoral Act, the 1999 Constitution (as amended), and the guidelines regulating political parties. The panel, led by Justice Mohammed Danjuma, concluded that the case presented sufficient grounds for the lower court’s intervention. As a result, the court dismissed the appeal filed by the Turaki-led faction of the PDP, marked CA/ABJ/CV/1613/2025. The Federal High Court had earlier ruled that the PDP failed to follow the required statutory provisions and party guidelines before going ahead with the convention.

Iran Ready To Support Nigeria Against Terrorism, Rejects Israeli Allegations Of Sponsorship

Wale busari03 mins

Iran’s ambassador to Nigeria, Mahdavi Raja, has affirmed Tehran’s willingness to assist Nigeria in its fight against terrorism, responding to claims by Israel that Iran sponsors extremist groups in the region. In an interview with Arise Television, Raja clarified that Islamic groups in Nigeria maintain only spiritual and cultural ties with Iran, not political affiliations. His remarks came after Israel’s ambassador to Nigeria, Michael Freeman, alleged on Friday that Iran supports Islamic movements in Nigeria and West Africa as part of a broader effort to spread terror. Freeman cited Iran’s ballistic missile and nuclear programs and claimed that Nigeria had been affected by the country’s actions. The comments followed recent protests by members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), also known as Shi’ites, in several states mourning the death of Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, during US-Israeli strikes in Tehran. Reacting to Freeman’s claims, the IMN Media Forum dismissed the allegations as “possible false-flag terrorism by the Israelis.” Chairman Ammar Rajab described the accusations as “inappropriate and unacceptable,” pointing out Israel’s own record of human rights violations. Raja emphasized that the Shi’ite rallies in Nigeria were peaceful demonstrations of grief and reflected a shared spiritual bond among Muslims. “This does not mean that Iran is defending those groups. It is a moral and spiritual connection because they are Muslims, and we are Muslims,” he said. The ambassador also highlighted Iran’s readiness to collaborate with Nigeria on counterterrorism efforts. “We are ready to lend a helping hand. We know that Nigeria faces threats from Boko Haram, ISWAP, and other groups. We are prepared to share our experience in combating terrorism,” Raja said. He further noted that Iran itself has suffered from terrorism and has consistently condemned attacks worldwide. “We are victims, and we are ready to cooperate with African countries to combat terrorism, drawing from our experience. We condemn terrorist attacks in Nigeria and across Africa,” he added.

Wale busari02 mins

Boko Haram insurgents have taken control of a military base in Borno State, killing the commanding officer and several other soldiers in a violent early-morning attack. The assault occurred on Monday in Kukawa Local Government Area, with sources reporting that the terrorists struck the base around 12:30 a.m. “They stormed the town from multiple directions and attacked the military camp,” a local source said. Security insiders added that the insurgents forced troops out of the facility, set military vehicles on fire, and seized ammunition. “I cannot say much about the casualties, but it’s very sad that we also lost the CO here,” one source revealed. The same base was targeted last month, but troops successfully repelled that attack, killing numerous insurgents. The Commanding Officer was widely praised for his leadership during that defense, receiving accolades from both the Kukawa community and local lawmaker Karta Maina Ma’aji Lawan. Speaking on Monday’s attack, Lawan described it as a tragic setback, highlighting the severity of the base being overrun. The incident comes shortly after a Boko Haram attack on a military base and an Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp in Ngoshe town, Gwoza Local Government Area, which resulted in multiple deaths among soldiers and civilians.

23 Players Sent Off As Cruzeiro and Atlético Mineiro Brawl Mar Campeonato Mineiro Final

Wale busari03 mins

The Campeonato Mineiro final in Brazil erupted into chaos as a massive brawl between Cruzeiro and Atlético Mineiro saw 23 players ultimately handed dismissals. Cruzeiro secured a narrow 1-0 victory in Belo Horizonte, winning the Minas Gerais state title for the first time since 2019. Kaio Jorge scored the decisive goal, giving Cruzeiro the trophy under the guidance of former Brazil coach Tite. But the match ended in turmoil. The confrontation began when Atlético goalkeeper Everson shoved Cruzeiro midfielder Christian during a collision while chasing a loose ball, then pressed his knee against the player’s chest. The move sparked an immediate response from Cruzeiro’s players. Both teams’ players rushed in, leading to shoving, grappling, and a chaotic scene on the field. At one point, Everson was pushed into his own goalpost. Security personnel and military police had to intervene to separate the players. Referee Matheus Delgado Candancan did not issue any red cards during the match itself, but Brazilian media outlet Globo reported that disciplinary action was taken afterwards. In total, 23 players were retrospectively sent off—12 from Cruzeiro, including Kaio Jorge, and 11 from Atlético Mineiro, including former Brazil striker Hulk and ex-Atlético Madrid and Nottingham Forest defender Renan Lodi. Hulk condemned the incident, stating, “It’s regrettable. We cannot set that example because it ends up having repercussions all around the world. We have a responsibility to safeguard our image and the image of the institution.” Despite the drama in the state final, both Cruzeiro and Atlético Mineiro continue to struggle in the national league, remaining winless after four matches in the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A this season.

Xavi Reveals Laporta Blocked Messi’s 2023 Barcelona Return Over Fear Of Power Struggle

Wale busari02 mins

Former Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez has disclosed that club president Joan Laporta blocked Lionel Messi’s potential return in 2023 due to concerns over a possible power struggle within the club. Xavi explained that although fans and the football world eagerly anticipated Messi’s comeback, Laporta was hesitant because of the influence the Argentine superstar could wield and the impact it might have on the club’s internal hierarchy. “Laporta stopped Messi Barca return to avoid power struggle,” Xavi told Geo News, adding that the president wanted to maintain clear authority within the club’s leadership. Messi, regarded as one of football’s greatest players, left Barcelona in 2021 after a career spanning over two decades at the club. His departure was largely attributed to financial difficulties at Barcelona, and speculation about a return intensified following his move to Paris Saint-Germain. Xavi’s comments reveal that the decision not to bring Messi back was not solely about money or sporting considerations, but also about preserving organizational structure and avoiding potential conflicts at the top. The revelation sheds light on the complexities behind high-profile transfers and the delicate balance between player influence and club governance. Neither Messi nor Laporta has publicly responded to Xavi’s statements.
