Football fans are in for a midweek treat as the Carabao Cup fourth round kicks off this week, with some of the Premier League’s biggest clubs — including Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle, and Tottenham Hotspur — all set to feature. The matches take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, promising plenty of drama, upsets, and memorable moments. On Tuesday, Grimsby Town continue their fairytale run as they host Brentford after knocking out Manchester United and Sheffield Wednesday in the earlier rounds.

Elsewhere, Swansea City take on reigning Premier League champions Manchester City, Wolves host Chelsea at Molineux, and defending Carabao Cup holders Newcastle United face Tottenham in one of the round’s standout ties. The draw for the fifth round will follow the conclusion of the Newcastle vs Tottenham clash on Wednesday night.

APC Demands Plateau Governor Mutfwang Reveal Who Pressured Him to Join Party

Wale busari03 mins

The Plateau State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has urged Governor Caleb Mutfwang to disclose the individuals allegedly pressuring him to leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the APC. Mutfwang, speaking over the weekend at the Government House banquet hall in Jos, said several APC members had approached him to join their party. He, however, emphasized that only God and the electorate who voted for him could influence such a decision. “It is not a lie that they are putting pressure on me. But I told them that only two people would authorise me to change my party: one is the God of heaven, and the other is you, the people. Those who are rejecting me for what I did not seek are only hiding their desires. The truth is that 60 to 70 per cent of APC members in the state would be glad to have us in their party. They are just biting their fingers because they know I won’t join them,” the governor said. Reacting on Monday in Jos, APC acting state publicity secretary Shittu Bamaiyi dismissed the governor’s remarks as “self-denial” and accused him of attempting to distract the public from perceived failures of his administration. Bamaiyi argued that if Mutfwang had genuinely delivered for the people of Plateau, there would be no talk of political defection. “If he truly cared for his supporters and the state, he should have named those pressuring him and explained why,” Bamaiyi said. “Regardless, it is a serious mark against a sitting governor when the opposition openly objects to his joining their ranks, even when their goal is to win future elections.”

19-Year-Old Bride Dies By Suicide After Wedding Dress Criticism

19-Year-Old Commits Suicide After Wedding Gown Criticism

Wale busari03 mins

Lyaman Mammadli, a 19-year-old bride from Mingachevir, Azerbaijan, reportedly took her own life after her husband’s family criticized her wedding dress as “too revealing” and “provocative.” Her father, Murad Bayramov, said Mammadli was accused of looking “n*ked” because her shoulders were uncovered. The confrontation left her distraught, and she later died by suicide in her parents’ garden. “My daughter’s groom and his parents caused a fight in my home over her wedding dress,” Bayramov said. “She couldn’t bear it and took her own life.” While Azerbaijan is a Muslim-majority country, the family has not specified Mammadli’s personal religion. Bayramov also denied media claims that his daughter was pressured into marrying her 33-year-old husband, Elnur Mamedli. “After the celebration, Elnur came to our home with his parents and started a big argument. They said, ‘What a disgrace. How could you let your daughter wear such a shameful, revealing wedding dress?’ We explained it was a normal gown, the kind many brides wear, but they refused to calm down,” he said. The dispute continued the following day, with the groom’s parents accusing Mammadli of “disgracing their son and family.” “In her emotional turmoil, she couldn’t endure it and ended her life,” her father said. He added that although her husband attended the funeral, he “refused to let them stay” and had them leave. Police are investigating whether a criminal case should be opened over the alleged bullying that led to the bride’s tragic death.

Bode George Says His Children Can’t Get Jobs In Nigeria Because Of His Name

Bode George Says His Children Can’t Get Jobs In Nigeria Because Of His Name

Wale busari02 mins

Bode George, a senior Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader, has raised concerns over the country’s unemployment and hunger crisis, revealing that even his children are struggling to find work because of his name. Speaking on Nigeria Info FM 99.3, George described widespread frustration and hunger across the country. “Today in Nigeria, everywhere there is hunger and anger. Forget about me being in the PDP, the base of the pyramid is what really matters,” he said. “What have we done to positively impact the generality of Nigerians? There is so much anger in the land and so much hunger.” He noted that graduates are left without hope, while non-graduates remain idle. He urged the government to establish a special fund to empower unskilled youths and provide micro-credit for graduates seeking to start businesses. George also referenced the First Lady’s recent appeal for contributions to build a national library, suggesting that the President could have directed banks, which donated N20 billion in two days, to channel public funds responsibly for such initiatives. Highlighting the personal consequences of his reputation, George said, “The younger generation in this country, including my own children who graduated a long time ago, have returned and tried to get a job, but they can’t get a job because their name is Bode George.”

Sowore Threatens To Proceed With Oworonshoki Demolition Protest Despite Police Alert

Wale busari02 mins

Omoyele Sowore, the Nigerian activist and Sahara Reporters publisher, has pledged to go ahead with a protest in Lagos over the recent demolitions in Oworonshoki, rejecting a warning from the Lagos State Police Command. On his Facebook page, Sowore wrote: “I heard the CP of the Nigeria Police Force Lagos had the effrontery to warn that TIB & I are not to protest over Oworonsoki Demolitions; these unprofessional, wornout officers have no place in our society. The mass action must go on!” He described the warning as unprofessional and insisted the demonstration would continue. The demolitions in Oworonshoki have drawn public backlash, with residents claiming their homes were destroyed without proper compensation. Eyewitnesses said police deployed around 50 officers and used tear gas to disperse residents during the late-night operation. The Lagos police commissioner had cautioned Sowore and his supporters to stay away from the state, threatening legal action if public order was disrupted. He defended the demolitions, saying the affected structures were illegal and sometimes used by criminals. Sowore’s determination to proceed highlights his ongoing fight against government overreach and his advocacy for citizens’ rights, attracting attention both within Nigeria and internationally.

Former Mali Prime Minister Moussa Mara Jailed Over Social Media Post Supporting Political Prisoners

Former Mali Prime Minister Moussa Mara Jailed Over Social Media Post Supporting Political Prisoners

Wale busari02 mins

A court in Bamako has sentenced former Mali Prime Minister Moussa Mara to one year in prison over a social media post expressing support for political prisoners. The verdict, delivered on Monday by the National Cybercrime Centre court, also includes a one-year suspended sentence for “undermining the credibility of the state and opposing legitimate authority.” Mara, who served as Mali’s prime minister from 2014 to 2015, was arrested on August 1 after sharing a post in July stating that he had met with detained political figures and promised to seek justice for them. Witnesses from AFP reported that Mara remained calm as the judgment was read. Prosecutors had pushed for a 24-month sentence. In addition to the jail term, the court ordered him to pay a fine of 500,000 CFA francs (about $887). “It’s not over,” Mara’s lawyer, Mountaga Tall, said after the verdict. “We will consult with our client and decide on the next steps.” A close friend of Mara, who spoke anonymously, said the outcome came as no surprise. “We expected it… Tell me, what crime did he commit?” the source asked. Mali has been under military rule since coups in 2020 and 2021. The junta has been accused of silencing dissent, curbing press freedom, and dissolving political parties as it tightens its grip on power.

Biodun Oyebanji Confirmed As APC Governorship Candidate For Ekiti 2026 Election

Biodun Oyebanji Confirmed As APC Governorship Candidate For Ekiti 2026 Election

Wale busari03 mins

Governor Biodun Oyebanji has been officially confirmed as the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate for Ekiti State ahead of the June 20, 2026 election. Oyebanji, who ran unopposed, received unanimous endorsement from 885 delegates—five from each of the 177 wards across the state—in line with the party’s internal guidelines and the Electoral Act of 2020. His confirmation followed the withdrawal of Mrs. Atinuke Oluremi Omolayo and the disqualification of Kayode Ojo and Abimbola Olajumoke, who failed to meet the party’s requirements, clearing the way for Oyebanji to emerge as the APC consensus candidate. Omolayo, who officially stepped down during the governorship primary at the Ekiti Parapo Pavilion in Ado-Ekiti, cited Oyebanji’s strong performance and her desire to sustain the developmental progress of his administration as reasons for her withdrawal. She also dissolved her political structure across all 16 local government areas to support his re-election campaign, describing her move as an act of loyalty to the party and commitment to the state’s growth. “Governor Oyebanji has performed excellently well. His achievements in infrastructure, governance, and inclusiveness speak volumes. He deserves a second term, and that is why I am stepping down to support him fully,” she said. Following her withdrawal, Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele moved a motion to ratify Oyebanji’s nomination, which was seconded by Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Adeoye Aribasoye, in accordance with Section 84(11) of the Electoral Act, 2022. The motion was put to a voice vote, and the delegates unanimously affirmed Oyebanji as the APC governorship candidate for the 2026 election.
