President Bola Tinubu has commended Lagos for becoming the first African city to host the E1 Electric Powerboat Championship, describing it as a landmark step for clean energy and marine innovation. In a message conveyed through the Lagos State Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Gboyega Akosile, Tinubu congratulated Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and the organisers for bringing the global event to Nigeria. “This championship is not just a thrilling spectacle on water but a statement of intent,” Tinubu said. “The E1 Powerboat series combines entertainment with clean energy innovation, showcasing electric-powered vessels that point the way to a greener future.” He said the event aligns with his administration’s vision for a sustainable blue economy focused on renewable energy, marine tourism, and coastal development, adding that such initiatives would create jobs and empower young Nigerians. Proudly calling himself a Lagosian, Tinubu described the state as the perfect host, saying its vibrant waterways and resilient people reflect Nigeria’s spirit of creativity and progress.

Wale busari02 mins

Liverpool suffered a 2-1 defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, marking their third consecutive loss in all competitions and raising concerns over their Premier League form. Chelsea took an early lead in the 14th minute when Moisés Caicedo unleashed a powerful long-range strike. Liverpool responded in the 63rd minute through Cody Gakpo, who finished a clever setup from Alexander Isak to level the score. The Blues clinched the victory in stoppage time, with 18-year-old substitute Estevão converting a cross from Marc Cucurella. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca was sent off for excessive celebration after the decisive goal. Despite missing several key players, Chelsea impressed with their resilience and creativity, particularly from Estevão and the other young talents in the squad. The win ends Chelsea’s recent poor run and intensifies pressure on Liverpool manager Arne Slot. The loss leaves Liverpool with growing concerns, having now dropped three consecutive matches, including defeats to Crystal Palace and Galatasaray, as the team struggles to regain its early-season momentum.

Manchester United Beat Sunderland 2-0 At Old Trafford To Secure Third Straight Home Win

Wale busari02 mins

Under-pressure Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim celebrated his 50th game in charge with a vital 2-0 win over Sunderland at Old Trafford. Mason Mount set the tone early, scoring after just eight minutes — United’s fastest Premier League goal since Marcus Rashford netted in the second minute against Ipswich during Amorim’s debut last November. Benjamin Sesko added a second with a close-range finish, marking his second goal in consecutive games. United also kept their first clean sheet of the season, a boost for Amorim who entrusted debutant £18.1m goalkeeper Senne Lammens between the posts. Sunderland appeared to earn a penalty just before halftime, but VAR overturned the decision, confirming Sesko had not caught Trai Hume with a high boot as initially thought. After a difficult run, Amorim finally has some positive stats to reflect on. United secured a third straight home win for the first time in over two years and have lost only once to Sunderland in 31 home encounters. Amorim also became the first United manager since Sir Alex Ferguson to win his 50th game in charge. The victory prompted the home crowd to break into a spirited rendition of the ‘Ruben Amorim’ chant — a rare moment of comfort for the Portuguese coach amid mounting scrutiny over his future at Old Trafford.

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.

Super Falcons forward Ifeoma Onumonu has officially retired from football, ending a career that spanned more than ten years across the United States, France, and Nigeria. The 31-year-old announced her decision in a heartfelt Instagram post on Saturday, describing her retirement as the “natural conclusion” of a journey that began when she was just eight years old. “It is with a heart full of gratitude that I bid farewell to my playing career on the pitch,” Onumonu wrote. She recalled her first football experiences with a youth side called Magic in the U.S., saying she simply loved running and scoring goals without caring about winning or losing. That passion eventually grew into a professional career filled with memorable achievements. Onumonu lifted the NWSL championship trophy in the U.S., represented Nigeria at the FIFA Women’s World Cup and the Olympics, and was part of the Super Falcons squad that secured their record 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations title in Morocco earlier this year. Born in California to a Nigerian father, Onumonu played collegiate football with the California Golden Bears before starting her professional career with the Boston Breakers in the NWSL.

She went on to feature in major tournaments, including the 2023 Women’s World Cup and the 2024 Paris Olympics, earning a reputation for her intelligent movement, composure, and work rate. Onumonu made it clear that retirement would not end her connection with football. “This is not a goodbye to football, but a new beginning. I am excited to explore opportunities off the pitch, using the skills and lessons learned from my time on it,” she wrote. She also expressed deep appreciation to those who supported her throughout her career. “Thank you to all the staff, teammates, coaches, doctors, fans, and my incredible friends and family for your unwavering support. Although my time as a player has come to an end, my love and devotion for this game will never waver.”
