Joao Pedro Ends Goal Drought As Chelsea Beat Tottenham 1-0

Wale busari04 mins

Chelsea secured a vital 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in Saturday’s Premier League showdown, with Brazilian striker Joao Pedro ending his goal drought to hand the Blues another memorable victory over their London rivals. Coming off a shock defeat to Sunderland last weekend, Enzo Maresca’s side showed intent from the start, pressing high and controlling the tempo throughout the match. Tottenham struggled to keep up with Chelsea’s intensity, rarely finding a way through a disciplined backline. The breakthrough arrived in the 34th minute when Moises Caicedo dispossessed Micky van de Ven near the edge of the Spurs box and quickly squared the ball to Joao Pedro, who calmly slotted past Guglielmo Vicario from eight metres out. Pedro looked sharp and hungry for more, but Vicario stood firm, denying him on three separate occasions. The Tottenham keeper also made key saves from Pedro Neto and Alejandro Garnacho, preventing the scoreline from becoming more embarrassing for the hosts. At the other end, Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez had a quiet evening, making only one save all match. Despite creating several clear-cut chances, Chelsea couldn’t extend their lead, though Maresca was satisfied with the result. “I am happy with the 1-0, with the three points, especially because we kept the clean sheet,” he said. “We know we’re a team that will always create chances, but it’s also important to be strong defensively.” Tottenham’s performance drew frustration from their supporters, with loud boos ringing around the stadium after the final whistle. Manager Thomas Frank admitted his side were outplayed. “It’s extremely painful,” Frank said. “Chelsea were good, and we were definitely second best. We performed badly, and the frustration is understandable.” The result lifted Chelsea to fourth place in the Premier League table with 17 points from 10 games, one spot below Spurs on goal difference. It also extended their impressive record against Tottenham, having now won 13 of their last 14 league meetings. As the game ended, the travelling Chelsea fans mocked their hosts with the familiar chant, “Tottenham Hotspur, it’s happened again,” a reminder of the Blues’ long-standing dominance in this London rivalry.

Popular street DJ and entertainer, DJ Chicken, was reportedly beaten by a group of men in Ogun State after he was allegedly involved in a car accident. The incident reportedly occurred in the Sagamu area, where DJ Chicken’s vehicle was said to have collided with a motorcycle carrying a woman. Eyewitnesses claimed the woman sustained injuries, though her current condition remains uncertain. A video of the incident, which has gone viral on social media, shows DJ Chicken being confronted by several men at the scene. The visibly angry group ordered him to sit on the ground, and when he resisted, one of them slapped him before he eventually complied. While details remain sketchy, some sources suggest the assault was a reaction to the accident, while others believe it may have been fueled by previous personal disputes. Authorities have yet to comment on the incident, and it is unclear whether any arrests have been made.

Wale busari03 mins

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended its National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, along with three other top officials, for a period of one month. In a statement released on Saturday after the 608th meeting of the National Working Committee (NWC), the party announced that National Organising Secretary Hon. Umar Bature, National Legal Adviser Kamaldeen Ajibade (SAN), and Deputy National Legal Adviser Barr. Okechukwu Osuoha were also suspended and referred to the National Disciplinary Committee for further investigation. According to the statement, the affected officials will not perform their official duties during the suspension period. The PDP clarified that, in line with Section 36(2) of its Constitution (as amended in 2017), the Deputy National Secretary, Hon. Arc. Setonji Koshoedo, will take over as Acting National Secretary. The National Director of Legal Services has also been directed to oversee the legal department pending the committee’s decision. In a related development, the party expressed displeasure over a recent judgment of the Federal High Court in Abuja delivered by Justice Kolawole Omotosho, describing it as a setback to Nigeria’s democratic process. National Publicity Secretary Hon. Debo Ologunagba stated that the ruling does not hinder the PDP from proceeding with preparations for its forthcoming National Convention, where new national officers will be elected to lead the party for the next four years. He cited a recent Supreme Court judgment affirming the supremacy of political parties in managing their internal affairs, urging members and organs of the PDP to remain united and focused on the upcoming convention. “The PDP remains firmly committed to the rule of law,” Ologunagba noted. “Our legal team has been directed to appeal the judgment immediately, in line with our dedication to upholding democracy and defending the rights of all political parties in Nigeria.”

Nicki Minaj Applauds Donald Trump’s Statement Condemning Christian Persecution in Nigeria

Wale busari02 mins

Nicki Minaj has publicly expressed her support for Donald Trump following his condemnation of global Christian persecution, sharing her reaction in a heartfelt post on X. The rapper posted a screenshot of Trump’s statement from Truth Social and wrote: “Reading this made me feel a deep sense of gratitude. We live in a country where we can freely worship God. No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion. We don’t have to share the same beliefs to respect each other. Numerous countries around the world are facing this horror, and it’s dangerous to pretend we don’t notice. Thank you to The President and his team for taking this seriously. God bless every persecuted Christian. Let’s remember to lift them up in prayer.” In Trump’s message, he described Christianity as facing “an existential threat in Nigeria” and revealed plans to designate the country a “Country of Particular Concern” due to ongoing killings targeting Christians. Minaj’s post highlights her strong belief in religious freedom and gratitude toward the U.S. administration for acknowledging what she called a “global crisis” of faith-based persecution.

Amad Diallo’s Stunning Volley Rescues Point for Manchester United in 2-2 Draw at Nottingham Forest

Fola Badmus03 mins

Amad Diallo’s spectacular late volley salvaged a point for Manchester United in a dramatic 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, ending United’s three-game winning streak in the Premier League. With nine minutes remaining and Forest on course for victory, Diallo pounced on a loose header from Nikola Milenkovic to unleash a thunderous left-foot strike into the top corner. The Ivorian winger almost snatched all three points deep into stoppage time, but his effort was blocked on the line by Murillo. United had earlier taken the lead in controversial fashion when Casemiro headed home from a corner that replays showed should not have been awarded. The ball appeared not to have crossed the line before going out of play, prompting widespread frustration among Forest players and supporters. Former Premier League referee Mike Dean weighed in on the incident during Sky Sports’ Soccer Saturday, saying: “It’s not out. The ball is nowhere near out. It’s just a guess by the referee.” The controversy deepened Forest’s sense of grievance, having conceded a similar goal from an incorrect corner decision against Bournemouth the previous weekend. Spurred by that sense of injustice, Forest came alive after the break. Morgan Gibbs-White levelled with a fine header three minutes into the second half before Nicolo Savona, the player controversially judged unable to keep the ball in play for Casemiro’s opener, bundled in Forest’s second to complete a quickfire turnaround. Bruno Fernandes struck the post as United pushed for an equaliser, but Forest threatened to extend their lead, with Igor Jesus heading wide and Callum Hudson-Odoi flashing a shot just past the post. However, Diallo’s late brilliance ensured Erik ten Hag’s side avoided defeat, though they missed the chance to climb into second place in the Premier League table. United now sit fifth. Forest, still winless under new boss Sean Dyche, showed resilience and attacking intent but remain 18th in the standings, a reminder that while performances are improving, results are still needed to escape the drop zone.

Wale busari02 mins

Arsenal extended their Premier League lead with a convincing 2-0 victory over Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday, thanks to first-half goals from Viktor Gyokeres and Declan Rice. Mikel Arteta’s side took control early on when Gyokeres rose highest to head home his fourth league goal of the season from a superbly executed set piece, giving the Gunners a deserved lead. Declan Rice, heavily involved in the opener, doubled Arsenal’s advantage 10 minutes before halftime. The England midfielder finished off a swift counterattack with a powerful header that left the Burnley goalkeeper with no chance. The second half saw fewer chances as Arsenal managed the game with composure, limiting Burnley’s attacking opportunities. The hosts came close late on, striking the woodwork in stoppage time, but never truly threatened to turn the tide. The result marked Arsenal’s fifth consecutive league win, keeping them seven points clear at the top of the table. Burnley, meanwhile, remain in 17th place, just four points above the relegation zone.

Amad Diallo’s Brilliant Volley Earns Manchester United 2-2 Draw Against Nottingham Forest

Wale busari03 mins

Amad Diallo struck a sensational 81st-minute volley to secure Manchester United a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest in a pulsating Premier League clash at the City Ground. United had taken control in the first half when Casemiro rose highest to head home from a corner, though Forest players protested the decision, insisting the ball should not have gone out for a corner in the first place. The goal seemed to set Ruben Amorim’s men on course for a fourth consecutive victory and a move up to second in the table. But the home side flipped the script early in the second half. Morgan Gibbs-White powered his way past Amad to connect with Ryan Yates’ deep cross, heading Forest level. Just two minutes later, more trouble came for United when another cross from the right caused confusion in the box. Igor Jesus’ header deflected into a crowd of players, and Nicolo Savona reacted quickest to slot calmly past Sanne Lammens, putting Forest 2-1 ahead. United refused to collapse. Bruno Fernandes came agonizingly close when his low drive struck the base of the post. Moments later, Amad pounced on a looping clearance outside the area and unleashed a thunderous first-time volley that flew past Matz Sels to bring United level again. The Ivorian winger almost turned hero deep into stoppage time, but his close-range effort was dramatically cleared off the line by Murillo, denying United what would have been a stunning comeback win. Despite missing out on victory, the performance showed United’s growing resilience under Amorim, with Amad’s late brilliance ensuring they left Nottingham with a valuable point.

Serbians Mark First Anniversary of Deadly Train Station Collapse with Silence and Demands for Justice

Fola Badmus04 mins

Tens of thousands of Serbians gathered in the city of Novi Sad on Saturday to commemorate the first anniversary of the tragic train station roof collapse that killed 16 people, turning the event into a powerful call for justice and government accountability. At exactly 11:52am (10:52 GMT) — the time the disaster occurred on November 1, 2024 — mourners stood in complete silence for 16 minutes outside the railway station. Witnesses described the atmosphere as deeply emotional and solemn, as people honoured the victims whose deaths have become a symbol of corruption and institutional failure. Despite charges being filed against 13 individuals, including former construction minister Goran Vesic, no trial has begun. Frustration over the lack of justice has fueled months of mass protests, particularly among students who have led demonstrations demanding transparency and reforms. Al Jazeera’s Milena Veselinovic, reporting from Novi Sad, said that while the crowd gathered to remember the victims, there was also palpable anger. “People here don’t have much faith in the legal system,” she noted. “They blame the government and corruption.” The disaster has had lasting political repercussions. It led to the resignation of the prime minister and the collapse of his government, though President Aleksandar Vucic has remained in power. Critics accuse him of overseeing an environment of “sky-high corruption,” while government supporters dismiss the protests as attempts to destabilize the country. In a rare conciliatory move on Friday, Vucic publicly apologized for some of his remarks about protesters and called for dialogue. “I apologise for saying things I now regret — to students, protesters, and others with whom I disagreed,” he said in a televised address. Mourners included victims’ families who continue to seek justice. “What I want to know is who killed my child so I can have a little peace,” said Dijana Hrka, whose 27-year-old son died in the collapse. “I want no other mother to go through what I am going through.” The Serbian government declared Saturday a national day of mourning, while the Serbian Orthodox Church held a mass in honour of the victims. The European Union’s delegation in Serbia called for calm and restraint, urging the government to address the systemic corruption at the heart of the tragedy.
