Graham Potter Appointed Sweden Head Coach Ahead Of World Cup Play-Offs

Graham Potter, the former West Ham manager, has been appointed as the new head coach of the Sweden national team. The 50-year-old takes on the role on a short-term basis, tasked with guiding Sweden’s faltering World Cup qualification campaign. “I am very humbled by the assignment, but also incredibly inspired. Sweden has fantastic players who perform in the world’s top leagues,” Potter said. “My job will be to create the conditions so that we as a team deliver at the highest level to take Sweden to the World Cup next summer.” Sweden had been without a head coach since Jon Dahl Tomasson was dismissed following a 1-0 defeat to Kosovo on 13 October, a loss that ruled out automatic qualification from Group B. However, the team still has a chance to reach the play-offs, thanks to their top finish in their 2024-25 Nations League group, which provides an alternative route to the World Cup. Potter left West Ham at the end of September after a disappointing start to the Premier League season, and now faces a new challenge leading Sweden on the international stage.

Tuoyo Blames Regina Daniels’ Mother For Allowing Daughter’s Teenage Marriage

Reality TV star Tuoyo has taken to social media to call out Regina Daniels’ mother amid the ongoing marital issues between the actress and her husband, Senator Ned Nwoko. In an Instagram story, Tuoyo questioned how Regina’s mother could have allowed her daughter, then only 17 or 18 years old, to marry a significantly older man and even travel abroad without proper supervision. He wrote: “Nowadays parents mess us up a lot. How will your child travel to another country for like three weeks and you don’t know at all? What is your job? Back in the day, our parents knew where we were and when we’d be back. Imagine how Regina’s mum let her go with a man at 17 or 18 years — a child who doesn’t know anything. Parents need to do better.” Tuoyo’s comments have sparked intense discussion online, with many pointing to the young actress’s early marriage as a key factor in the challenges she faces in her marriage today. The post has also reignited conversations about parental responsibility and the importance of guidance in major life decisions.

Juju Legend Sir Shina Peters Reveals He Became A Father At 14 And Achieved Early Success

Nigerian juju music icon Oluwashina Akanbi Peters, better known as Sir Shina Peters, has shared insights into his extraordinary early life, revealing that he became a father at just 14 years old. Speaking on a recent episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, the Afrojuju star recounted how he started his music career at the age of 10 and achieved several remarkable milestones while still a teenager. “I started my career at the age of 10. I had my first child at 14. I bought my first car at 13. I built my first house at 16, and I’ve been going here and there — three cases in a day since I was 16/17,” Sir Shina Peters said. The 67-year-old also reflected on his fan base, noting that it stretches far beyond his Yoruba roots. “65 per cent of my fans are Igbos, not Yorubas. My fans are demanding that I give them new music, but I just don’t go to the studio. I can’t go to the studio, the atmosphere is not conducive for me. I don’t know what to sing,” he added. Sir Shina Peters’ revelations highlight not only his early achievements but also the enduring impact of his music across Nigeria and beyond.
