Wale busari02 mins

Luton Town have appointed former Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere as their new head coach. The decision comes after the club parted ways with Matt Bloomfield during the October international break, following a difficult start to their League One campaign, which saw the Hatters lose five of their opening 11 matches after consecutive relegations. Wilshere, 33, has now secured his first permanent managerial role after a short interim stint with Norwich City at the end of the 2024-25 season, where he collected four points from the final two Championship fixtures, boosting his reputation as an emerging coach. Speaking to the club’s official website, Wilshere called his appointment a “full-circle moment,” recalling his early days with Luton Town as a child. “It’s a huge honour and a privilege to be named Luton Town manager,” he said. “I was eight when I first came to Luton, so it feels fitting that my first full-time managerial role is at this club. I’m excited to get started and can’t wait to lead this team.” He added: “Luton Town’s story inspires me. Built on belief, unity, and hard work, the club has shown incredible character on and off the pitch. I’m honoured to take on the responsibility of guiding this squad forward. There’s still so much of the season to play, and I want to give the fans a team they can be proud of. The work begins today.”

Wale busari02 mins

Actress Adesua Etomi-Wellington has revealed that she narrowly escaped death in June after a terrifying ordeal that led to an unplanned surgery. In an Instagram post on Sunday, the Wedding Party star explained that the incident occurred while she was in the United Kingdom with her husband, Banky W, and their sons on a ministry trip. “Long read, but please stay with me. I could have lost my life in June of this year. I went through a horrific incident that landed me in unplanned surgery. The surgery was ironically the least dramatic part of what I went through,” she wrote. “We were in the UK to serve God, attending two speaking engagements—one in London and the other in Manchester.” Reflecting on her close call, Adesua said, “If even one single detail of that day were different, I wouldn’t be here today. I shudder when I think about it… I have become even more aware of the goodness and presence of God. Like a map, I can literally look back over that day and trace how His hands were all over that situation. There is nothing anyone can tell me, God is real!” She concluded by urging her followers to appreciate life and practice compassion: “Let’s be softer, kinder, gentler, forgiving, patient, loving, and peaceful. I will never take another day for granted. Neither should you.”   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Adesua Etomi-Wellington (@adesuaetomi)
