Favour Ashe Quits Nigeria Athletics For Qatar Over Neglect, Poor Support

Wale busari04 mins

Nigerian sprinter Favour Ashe has confirmed he is set to compete for Qatar, bringing an end to his time under Nigeria’s athletics system. The U.S.-based 100m runner disclosed that he has been in Qatar for about five months and has decided to pursue his future there after growing disillusioned with the treatment of athletes back home. Known for his blistering 9.79-second personal best, Ashe said years of insufficient backing and what he termed disrespect from sports authorities pushed him toward the move. “I am heading for a country where athletes are treated with respect and rewarded for their efforts,” he said. Although he has not yet opened his 2026 season, Ashe revealed that Qatar’s athletics federation has already drawn up a structured programme for him and other recruits, including plans to kick off their campaign in South Africa. “The Qatar federation is taking us to South Africa to begin our season there. This is something Nigeria will never do,” he stated. He added that several young Nigerian athletes are currently training within Qatar’s system, with the aim of assembling a dominant 4x100m relay team largely built around Nigerian-born sprinters. Sunday Akintan, who recently clocked 6.48 seconds indoors, is also believed to have switched allegiance as part of the same recruitment effort. Insiders say more Nigerian athletes, including some presently preparing for the Commonwealth Games, are exploring similar options in search of better funding, exposure and consistent competition. Ashe explained that his frustration intensified during the National Sports Festival in Abeokuta, where he was disqualified from the 100m final while representing Team Delta. “Those who have the opportunity to leave are not looking back,” he warned. “Soon Nigeria will be hit by an exodus of athletes. Some are even ready to run for other African countries that can offer them proper compensation and regular competitions.” A Delta State Sports Commission official, speaking anonymously, said the commission had not been formally informed of Ashe’s switch. It also remains unclear whether he benefited from training grants reportedly distributed this year by the National Sports Commission. His decision follows a similar move by Favour Ofili, who changed allegiance to Turkey after accusing officials of ill treatment during preparations for the Paris Olympics.

Carter Efe Explains Why He Stopped Attending Church Over Fear Of Money-Seeking Pastors

Wale busari02 mins

Carter Efe has stirred debate online after explaining why he no longer attends church. In a video shared on social media, the skit maker said he is wary of certain pastors, accusing them of forming personal bonds with church members only to later demand financial assistance. He claimed that some clergy members gradually begin to request money or household items once they become friendly with congregants, suggesting that their intentions are not always spiritual. He said: “Pastor go dey show you love dey call you for afternoon and evening. Before you know pastor go dey tell you say ‘can you give me money for fuel?’ before you know pastor go tell you say ‘i want to cook beans, I need oil’. Before you know pastor go dey collect money for your hand na why I dey fear. Na why I no dey go church. I dey fear all this pastors, if them turn you to friend, them go just dey collect money for your hand…” The remarks have sparked divided opinions across social media platforms. While some users supported his stance, arguing that a number of pastors focus more on financial gains than spiritual guidance, others faulted him for painting all religious leaders with the same brush. Carterefe explained why he doesn’t go to church on Sundays: Nigerian pastors start calling your phone by afternoon, and next thing you know, they’re asking for fuel money 😂💔 pic.twitter.com/UOFGeikNB2 — Carterefe Updates🌚 (@Carterefeupdate) February 15, 2026

Omotola Jalade Ekeinde Says She Didn’t Return Car Gifted To Her While Married

Wale busari02 mins

Omotola Jalade Ekeinde has stirred reactions online after sharing that she once accepted a car gift while already married. The Nollywood star made the revelation during an interview on Naija FM 102.7, where she strongly defended the influence of women in the film industry. Contrary to claims that women do not dominate Nollywood, she insisted that they form the driving force behind its success. “Women are the ones who hold Nollywood,” she said, explaining that many actresses operate as producers, brand owners, influencers, and entrepreneurs. She added that several women in the industry juggle acting with other thriving businesses and even structured careers outside entertainment. However, it was her disclosure about receiving luxury gifts that drew the most attention. “Women have admirers,” she said. “Me, who is married, I know how many people have gifted me things, women and men. They’ll just see me and say, ‘Omotola, I’m sending you this.’ They’ve gifted me a car before.” When asked whether she returned the vehicle because she was married, she responded, “No, why would I return the car?” She credited her husband’s confidence for the calm way such gestures are handled, describing him as “the most secure human being you can ever meet.” With a touch of humour, she added, “Think about it, how would you marry an Omosexy if you’re not secure?”
