Kamal Yalwa01 mins

Jamaica is on high alert as Hurricane Melissa, a Category 5 storm, is expected to make landfall early Tuesday morning. Authorities warn that it could be the most destructive storm ever to strike the island. Forecasters predict “catastrophic” flooding, landslides, and severe structural damage across several parishes.

Melissa is projected to enter near St Elizabeth parish in southern Jamaica before moving northward and exiting around St Ann. The storm has already claimed seven lives across the Caribbean — three in Jamaica, three in Haiti, and one in the Dominican Republic. Another person remains missing in the Dominican Republic as emergency teams race to respond. Residents are being urged to seek shelter, secure property, and avoid coastal areas as the hurricane approaches.

Wale busari02 mins

Michael Blackson’s ex-girlfriend, Rada Cheang, has slammed his public apology after he admitted to impregnating another woman, calling it “pathetic” and saying she is moving on peacefully. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Rada emphasized that her priority is her 4-month-old son, not the drama surrounding her past relationship. Reflecting on her time with Blackson, she admitted she had been warned their relationship could be difficult but chose to love and understand him deeply, seeing beyond his flaws. She described their relationship as a “circus” and acknowledged staying too long despite knowing she wasn’t his type. Rada also took responsibility for her role, highlighting that she supported him fully and embraced her identity as a “real woman.” She wrote: “I don’t normally respond but let’s just agree that was the most pathetic post or apology ever. I’m walking in peace, guided by God’s grace. My energy belongs to my 4-month-old son, not to negativity.” She added: “When love runs that deep, you stop seeing the man and start seeing the boy who just wanted to be loved – and that’s what breaks you. I didn’t just love, I understood – the pain, the innocence, the child in him.” Rada concluded: “With that said, I take full accountability for staying in the circus too long. His type was never me because I’m a real woman. This is what happens when you hold a man down 100%.”

Wale busari02 mins

The United States under President Donald Trump has revoked the visa of globally renowned scholar, Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka. The scholar announced this at Kongi’s Harvest Gallery, Freedom Park, Lagos Island, on Tuesday. He said he was unaware of any wrongdoing that could have warranted the revocation. “It is necessary for me to hold this conference so that people in the United States who are expecting me for this event or that event do not waste their time.” “I have no visa; I am banned, obviously, from the United States. And if you want to see me, you know where to find me,” he said. According to Soyinka, the US Consulate informed him of the revocation via a letter. “I’m still looking into my past history… I don’t have any past criminal record or even a felony or misdemeanour to qualify for the revocation.” “I’ve started looking back—have I ever misbehaved toward the United States of America? Do I have a history? Have I been convicted? Have I gone against the law anywhere?” It can be recalled Soyinka in 2017 during the United States election in a viral video said he would tear his Green Card if Donald Trump becomes the President.

Tuoyo Ideh Alleges Brutal Beating By NDLEA During Proxy Nightclub Raid

Tuoyo Ideh Alleges Brutal Beating By NDLEA During Proxy Nightclub Raid

Wale busari03 mins

Former Big Brother Naija contestant Tuoyo Ideh has accused NDLEA operatives of assaulting him during a raid at Proxy Nightclub in Victoria Island, Lagos. The raid, which occurred in the early hours of Sunday, October 26, led to the arrest of socialite Pretty Mike and over 100 guests. In a video shared on Instagram Monday night, Tuoyo said he was at the club as a promoter, helping clients book tables, when officers, accompanied by military personnel, stormed the venue. He claimed that even after passing the initial security check, he was forcibly taken into custody with other patrons. While detained, he said he was beaten with sticks and ordered to roll on the ground. The assault reportedly only ended after a female officer intervened, though he was still made to perform frog jumps despite severe pain. “I’m a promoter; if you see me outside, it’s for business. I hadn’t even been inside 30 minutes when everyone was told to go down. I saw people in black uniforms and military personnel. They took our phones, searched me from head to toe, even my socks, and found nothing. Then they made us sit outside on the floor, which was humiliating,” he said. “After a while, a woman pointed at me. Five men rushed me, slapped me, and one said, ‘Na you go post abi? Shoot him.’ They hit me with sticks, kicked me, and slapped me. I was rolling on the floor struggling to breathe. I’ve never been beaten like that in my life.” He added: “Nigeria finally happened to me 💔 😥🥺. I can’t even stand or lie down properly. The beating left my legs, hands, back, and head in unbearable pain. Yesterday, I felt completely helpless. The intimidation and humiliation were overwhelming. We live in a country where human rights and freedom of speech are routinely ignored.”   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Tuoyo Ideh (@itstuoyoofficial)

2034 World Cup: Saudi Arabia Unveil Plans for ‘Sky Stadium’

Fola Badmus04 mins

Saudi Arabia has revealed plans for the NEOM Sky Stadium, set to become the world’s first “sky stadium” and a key venue for the 2034 FIFA World Cup. The stadium will be suspended an astonishing 350 meters above the desert floor within the futuristic linear city of The Line, offering spectators a truly unique perspective on the action. Designed to hold 46,000 fans, the stadium will run entirely on renewable energy, reflecting Saudi Arabia’s commitment to sustainable infrastructure as part of Vision 2030. Construction is expected to begin in 2026, with completion scheduled for 2032, leaving ample time for final preparations ahead of the tournament. The stadium will host matches from the group stage through the quarterfinals and is planned to operate year-round, doubling as a venue for concerts, sports events, and other global gatherings.   The NEOM Sky Stadium is part of a broader vision to transform sports architecture and technology. It will integrate into NEOM’s mirrored megastructure, creating a striking visual landmark while incorporating state-of-the-art cooling, lighting, and digital fan experience systems. International architectural firms with experience in high-altitude and sustainable design are leading the project in partnership with NEOM, the Saudi Ministry of Sport, and the Public Investment Fund (PIF). The total investment is estimated at $1 billion, making it one of the most ambitious stadium projects in the world. As the first stadium of its kind, NEOM Sky Stadium is expected to become a symbol of Saudi Arabia’s push for innovation and global sporting prominence. The stadium will be one of 15 venues for the 2034 World Cup, integrated into The Line, a city stretching 170 kilometres along the northwestern coast. Its elevated position and futuristic design offer fans an unparalleled experience while demonstrating the kingdom’s ambitions to combine sports, technology, and sustainability on a global stage.   Saudi Arabia has already outlined plans for 15 stadiums as part of its 2034 World Cup bid. The centerpiece is the King Salman International Stadium in Riyadh, which is expected to become the largest stadium in the kingdom, with a capacity of 92,760, by 2029, according to Arab News.   While the NEOM Sky Stadium has garnered widespread attention, it has also faced skepticism online, with some questioning the engineering feasibility of a stadium suspended at such a height. Others have praised the project as groundbreaking, positioning Saudi Arabia as a pioneer in futuristic, eco-conscious sports infrastructure. Despite broader delays in the NEOM development, initially scheduled for completion by 2039, sources indicate that the stadium’s 2034 World Cup deadline remains a priority. The project is expected to boost tourism and investment, supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 diversification goals.

KingsMen Begin 2025 NBPL Playoffs With Statement Win Over Hoops and Read

Fola Badmus05 mins

Reigning champions Rivers Hoopers launched their 2025 Nigeria Basketball Premier League Final Eight Playoffs campaign with a commanding 73-50 victory over Hoops & Read, thanks to an explosive first-quarter performance which helped the KingsMen lead from start to finish. The defending champions started hot, opening up a 12-0 lead inside the first four minutes, thanks to four consecutive shots from deep courtesy of Mustapha Oyebanji and Isaiah Williams. That twelve-point lead grew to eighteen at the end of the first quarter as the score stood at 29-11. Speaking after the game, Rivers Hoopers Head Coach Ogoh Odaudu said his team’s strong start was crucial in determining the outcome of the game. “We started off really strong, and I think that determined the direction that the game was going to go. Even though the guys took their foot off the pedal at some point in the game and almost let the opponents come back. It’s something I’m going to have to address going forward.” Hoops & Read tried to find a way back into the game but could only reduce the deficit by two points at halftime, as the hosts took a 41-25 lead into the break. Both teams seemed to have gone cold following the break, as they could only manage ten points apiece in a combative third quarter, before the KingsMen wrapped up the win with an improved fourth-quarter showing. Despite the twenty-three-point demolition of their opponents, for coach Odaudu, picking up a vital win to start the playoffs was what really mattered. “For us, it doesn’t matter the number of points we win by; just a win is good for us. We’ll take a one-point lead; we’ll take a half-point lead; a win is a win. “We’re happy with how it ended,” he emphasised. Overall, it was an all-round team performance from the defending champions, as ten out of the eleven KingsMen who made the matchday roster scored points, with thirty-five (35) points coming from the bench. Captain Victor Anthony Koko alongside Oyebanji led the KingsMen with eleven (11) points apiece, while the energetic Victor Sunday dropped ten (10) points along with five rebounds and five steals. Isaiah Williams scored nine (9) points on his Rivers Hoopers debut, as Peter Olisemeka recorded a game-high twelve (12) rebounds. Kelvin Amayo, who was named the Most Valuable Player at the 2024 NBPL Finals, scored nine (9) points on his return to basketball in Nigeria and relished the support of the Port Harcourt crowd, which cheered on the team to victory. “To be honest, playing in PH (Port Harcourt) is always the best to me. The fans always do a great job; they love watching us play. I’m just happy to be here and be able to showcase what we’ve been working [on] throughout the season and off-season, to come here and give them a show,” he revealed. Rivers Hoopers will next be in action by 5pm on Tuesday, 28th October, 2025, as they take on Kano Pillars in a matchday two encounter. Day 2 – Tuesday, 28th October 11:00am: Kwara Falcons vs Lagos Legends 1:00pm: Nigeria Customs vs Gboko City Chiefs 3:00pm: Nile University vs Hoops & Read 5:00pm: Kano Pillars vs Rivers Hoopers All games will be played at the Basketball Stadium, #59 Niger Street, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

NDLEA Operatives Burst Drug Party, Arrest Over 100 Fun Seekers

Fola Badmus05 mins

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has warned night club operators and fun seekers about the creeping culture of organising, hosting and attending drug parties, a disturbing fad within social circles, which is a blatant illegality under the Nigerian law.   ​The Agency’s warning comes on the heels of a raid carried out by its operatives at a drug party, which held on the night of Saturday 25th October into the early hours of Sunday 26th October 2025, at Proxy Night Club located at 7 Akin Adesola street, Victoria Island Lagos where over 100 attendees were arrested along with the owner of the facility, Mike Eze Nwalie Nwogu alias Pretty Mike and his manager Joachin Millary.   ​According to the Agency, “any gathering organised for the purpose of consuming, distributing, or abusing illicit substances is an act of criminality. These ‘drug parties’ contravene the explicit provisions of the NDLEA Act and will be treated as serious narcotic offences. In the case of the drug party at Proxy night club, organisers went above board and had the audacity to produce and circulate flyers inviting fun seekers to come together to commit crime, an act that not only constitutes an incitement to commit crime but equally an affront to the law enforcement capabilities of the country if condoned.   ​“Nigeria is currently grappling with a very high prevalence rate of drug abuse, particularly among our youths. These illicit drug parties do not only fuel the drug scourge but equally serve as hubs for new recruitment into drug addiction and actively undermine our current national efforts to safeguard public health and security.   “In the recent case, the NDLEA was meticulous and professional throughout the processes leading to the raid and during the operation. Following intelligence on the party, our undercover agents conducted surveillance on the facility, made pre-purchases of illicit drugs from within the club and for four hours between 11pm on Saturday and 3am on Sunday during the party, our operatives observed and recorded drug transactions and abuse going on before we eventually disrupted the brazen public display of illegality and made arrests.   “All attendees initially arrested were later profiled, addressed, counselled and released within hours in custody, in line with best global practices while the two principal suspects: Pretty Mike and his manager, Joachin Millary remain in custody following the seizure of 384.882 kilograms of Canadian Loud, a strong strain of cannabis and other substances from the club’s store.   “While the Agency will intensify surveillance and apply the full force of the law against perpetrators, owners of properties, hotels, and event centres found to be knowingly hosting such illegal activities risk the confiscation and forfeiture of their assets to the Federal Government. Those held in custody in the ongoing case will face prosecution while we will file for forfeiture of the property, Proxy Night Club, in which the drugs were found.”   ​The Agency urged all patriotic Nigerians, parents, religious and community leaders, as well as concerned citizens to be vigilant, report such activities, and partner with the NDLEA in combating this threat to national well-being.
