The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has urged the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), to make a definitive decision on his involvement with the party.
The ADC, while acknowledging Obi as a crucial political leader, emphasised that it would not pressure the former Anambra State governor into joining.
During an interview with ‘Advocacy for Good Governance’ on YouTube on Wednesday, Obi expressed concerns about the stability of the ADC-led coalition, citing unresolved issues, including the zoning arrangement.
Despite these reservations, he reiterated his belief in the coalition’s potential and urged the ADC to resolve these fundamental issues to ensure a credible alliance ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The FIFA World Cup remains the pinnacle of international football, awarded once every four years to the best national team on the planet. Its rarity and prestige make it the ultimate prize for players, coaches, and fans alike. Since its inception in 1930, only a handful of nations have lifted the trophy, with England, for example, having celebrated their only victory back in 1966.
Now, an AI-powered supercomputer has predicted the winners of the next 19 World Cups up until the end of the century. The predictions suggest both familiar champions and surprising first-time victors, including an African nation claiming the trophy for the first time.
According to the supercomputer, the 2026 World Cup will see Spain triumph over Argentina in a 2-1 final. Argentina, winners of the 2022 World Cup, are predicted to fall just short of back-to-back glory. Brazil is expected to bounce back in 2030, defeating France 3-1, while France themselves are tipped to claim the 2034 title with a 2-0 victory over Germany. England is projected to win their second World Cup in 2038, edging past Brazil 1-0, finally bringing football “home.” The 2042 tournament sees Nigeria making history, upsetting Argentina 2-1 to become the first African nation to lift the trophy.
The following decade of tournaments brings more surprises. Germany is forecast to claim the 2046 title with a 3-2 win over Spain, followed by Argentina winning again in 2050 against Portugal. The 2054 edition is predicted to see hosts USA triumph over Mexico 2-1, and Japan is set to become the first Asian nation to win in 2058, narrowly defeating France 1-0. Italy rounds out this period in 2062 with a 2-1 victory over Brazil, earning a fifth star for the Azzurri.
Later predictions suggest Morocco will claim glory in 2066, beating England 3-2 on home soil, while Brazil returns to dominance in 2070 with a 4-2 win over Germany. Australia is tipped to upset Spain 2-1 in 2074, Portugal is projected to finally win in 2078 with a 3-2 victory over France, and Senegal is expected to lift the trophy for the first time in 2082, defeating Argentina 1-0.
The final two decades of the century continue the trend of first-time winners and traditional powerhouses. The Netherlands are predicted to win in 2086, beating Italy 3-1. Mexico is forecast to overcome the USA 2-1 in 2090, followed by India winning their first World Cup in 2094 after a penalty shootout against Brazil. Germany closes out the century in 2098 with a 2-0 victory over Portugal, claiming their sixth title.
According to a report from ESPN on Saturday December 6, 2025, in an interview following Liverpool FC’s 3-3 draw with Leeds United, Mohamed Salah didn’t mince words accusing both the club and wider media of unfair treatment. Frustrated at being benched for a third straight game, the Egyptian superstar said.
“Can I give an example? It’s silly but I am sorry. I remember a while go, Harry Kane was not scoring for ten games, the media were like: ‘Oh, Harry will score for sure.’ When it comes to Mo, everyone is like, ‘He needs to be on the bench.’ I am sorry Harry!”
Salah argued that despite his long-standing contributions, including being one of Liverpool’s most prolific scorers, he’s been treated far more harshly than peers such as Kane even during goal droughts.
He added that after years of commitment to the club and a new contract signed just months ago, he now feels “thrown under the bus,” with no explanation from management for his sudden drop in favour.
Salah’s remarks have reignited speculation about a possible exit from Anfield, with the upcoming game against Brighton & Hove Albion and his impending call-up to the Africa Cup of Nations now cast as potential farewells.
Mohamed Salah has offered a surprisingly candid glimpse into his current state of mind after being left on the bench in Liverpool’s clash against Leeds. The Egyptian superstar, who has long been central to the club’s success, revealed that even he is unsure of his immediate future as speculation grows around his form, role, and preparation for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations.
Speaking to Viaplay Fotboll, Salah admitted that the uncertainty surrounding his playing time has reached a point where he had to prepare his family for anything. “I said to my parents: come to the Brighton game. I don’t know if I am going to play or not but I am going to enjoy it,” he revealed, signalling the unfamiliar territory he finds himself in. For a player who has been Liverpool’s most reliable attacking force for years, the idea of not knowing whether he will start has raised eyebrows among fans and pundits alike.
Salah also confirmed that he intends to be at Anfield to share a personal moment with supporters before departing for AFCON duty. “I will be at Anfield to say goodbye to the fans and go Africa Cup. I don’t know what is going to happen when I am there,” he said, highlighting both his commitment to the national team and the uncertainty hanging over his Liverpool situation.
Entrepreneur and personal branding strategist Dr Sharon Ifunanya Faqua has stirred fresh conversation online after sharing her perspective on the ongoing marital tension between Nigerian music icon 2Baba (Innocent Idibia) and his wife, Edo lawmaker Natasha Osawaru.
In an Instagram Story shared earlier today, Dr Sharon wrote, “There must be something about TuBaba that makes the women in his life so obsessed with him.”
Her comment comes at a time when public concern about the singer has intensified. Earlier today, 2Baba posted a brief and emotional message on his Instagram Story, writing simply, “Help me.” The post raised alarm among fans, prompting renewed debates about the state of his marriage and his welfare.
The drama deepened when the singer’s brother, Hyacinth Idibia, also took to Instagram, expressing worry and urging that the family be allowed to “save” the musician. His words suggested that the tension within the marriage had taken an emotional toll on the veteran artiste.
Dr Sharon’s observation has now added another dimension to the unfolding narrative, with many interpreting it as a commentary on the intensity, loyalty, and controversies that often surround women connected to 2Baba.
The 2025 CAF Awards ceremony may have celebrated Africa’s finest footballers, but in Nigeria, the bigger conversation has been about something far more troubling: the country’s own representatives voted in ways that weakened the chances of Nigerian stars across multiple categories, according to Soccernet. The voting breakdown, released after the ceremony, revealed patterns that have sparked outrage among fans and raised questions about loyalty, judgment, and the country’s role in continental football politics.
Achraf Hakimi’s dominant victory as African Footballer of the Year was historic, but the spotlight in Nigeria quickly shifted to how Victor Osimhen — a top contender — was treated by voters from his own country. Despite a season in which he fired Galatasaray to a league and cup double, finished as top scorer and picked up several individual awards, Osimhen finished third behind Hakimi and Mohamed Salah. What shocked many Nigerians was learning that Daniel Amokachi, serving as a CAF Technical Expert, placed Osimhen fifth on his ballot, awarding him the minimum possible point. In contrast, Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle and captain William Troost-Ekong gave Osimhen their top vote. For many fans, Amokachi’s ballot became the symbol of a deeper problem.
The voting controversy extended beyond Osimhen. In the Goalkeeper of the Year category, Stanley Nwabali saw his chances weakened when media representative Oluwashina Okeleji opted not to vote him first, placing him behind Cameroon’s André Onana. That decision had a measurable impact on the final rankings, despite Nwabali being top choice for both his national team coach and captain.
The Young Men’s Player category also saw Nigeria’s hopes dented. Daniel Bameyi, captain of the Flying Eagles, failed to get a single vote from Okeleji, who omitted him entirely from his top five. It was another instance in which Nigerians abroad enjoyed more faith from neutral voters than from their own representatives.
However, it was the women’s categories that suffered the greatest hit. In the Women’s Player of the Year race, Morocco’s Ghizlane Chebbak edged out Nigeria’s leading candidates Rasheedat Ajibade and Esther Okoronkwo. While both Super Falcons coach Justine Madugu and team captain voted Ajibade and Okoronkwo highly, media representative Samuel Ahmadu placed the Nigerians far lower than expected — ranking Okoronkwo third and Ajibade fifth. His vote provided a significant boost to Zambia’s Barbra Banda and Temwa Chawinga at the expense of Nigeria’s frontrunners. Even Morocco’s coach placed Ajibade above Chebbak.
Ahmadu’s voting pattern repeated across several women’s categories. Despite Chiamaka Nnadozie claiming the Goalkeeper of the Year award for the third straight year, she received only a fifth-place vote from him. Rising star Shakirat Moshood also finished second in her category after Ahmadu again ranked a Nigerian fifth, undermining her bid for the prize.
The most dramatic example came in the National Women’s Team of the Year category. Nigeria’s Super Falcons, fresh from winning the 2025 WAFCON, should have been runaway winners. Instead, they edged Morocco by just eight points. The margin was so thin because Ahmadu — the only voter to do so — placed Tanzania first and Nigeria fifth. His ballot was the outlier that nearly cost the country one of its most deserved awards of the night.
The Matero Local Court in Zambia, has heard a startling case in which a man admitted to divorcing his wife after being promised K7,000 by her lover, who had impregnated her
According to Zambia Observer, Innocent Chileshe told the magistrate, Lewis Mumba that he agreed to end his marriage after Innocent Mutonga, a married man who was in a relationship with his wife, offered him money to clear the way for their union.
“Your honour, this man was in a sexual relationship with my wife, and she even became pregnant for him. I was the one taking care of the pregnancy, yet he is the one responsible,” Chileshe testified.
He said the court had earlier ordered Mutonga to pay him K15,000 in compensation for adultery.
But after the ruling, Mutonga allegedly approached Chileshe with a new proposal.
“He told me to divorce my wife in exchange for K7,000 so that he could continue freely with her. I accepted the offer and gave him the divorce papers, but he never paid me,” Chileshe told the court.
Chileshe added that he not only supported his wife during the pregnancy but also continued to provide for her and the child after birth, responsibilities he argued belonged to Mutonga.
e Mumba found Mutonga guilty of contempt for failing to honour the original order and directed him to pay K165 or face 14 days in remand.
He further warned him to strictly comply with the earlier K15,000 compensation ruling.
The unusual case has drawn attention for highlighting how adultery disputes and financial negotiations have increasingly become entangled in local courts, raising questions about justice, dignity, and the limits of compensation in marital breakdowns
Nigerian rapper and activist Eedris Abdulkareem’s Facebook and Instagram accounts have been taken down.The accounts became inaccessible shortly after the release of his new song, “Open Letter to Donald Trump Abdulkareem has been unable to sign in to his accounts since the song’s release.
Nigerian rapper and activist Eedris Abdulkareem has revealed that both his Facebook and Instagram accounts have been taken down.
According to Naija News, the musician said the platforms became inaccessible shortly after he released his new song, Open Letter to Donald Trump. Abdulkareem disclosed on Sunday that he has been unable to sign in to the accounts since the track dropped, and checks confirmed that the pages no longer open.
The rapper, known for his outspoken political commentary, did not indicate how long the suspension might last or whether Meta provided any warning before the action.
Open Letter to Donald Trump, released in November 2025 under Lakreem Entertainment, tackles issues such as corruption, insecurity, and the failings of Nigeria’s leadership. While the song is addressed to the U.S. president, its central focus is a critique of Nigerian political leaders
.In the track, Abdulkareem criticizes those in authority for living comfortably while the citizens endure harsh conditions. He also highlights the rise in kidnappings, killings, and other crimes that have left many Nigerians fearful and uncertain about their safety.
By invoking Donald Trump’s name, the rapper aims to draw international attention to Nigeria’s worsening problems and the struggles faced by ordinary people.
This release continues Abdulkareem’s history of using music to speak against injustice, similar to his hit Jaga Jaga, which condemned corruption and misrule. In April 2025, the National Broadcasting Commission barred radio and television stations from airing his song Tell Your Papa, citing violations of broadcast regulations. His 2004 classic Jaga Jaga was also banned during the administration of President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Former presidential aide Reno Omokri has criticised Labour Party chieftain Peter Obi over recent comments in which Obi referred to Nigeria as a “now disgraced country.” Omokri said this was the second time in a week that Obi made such a remark and described the statement as inappropriate for someone who wants to lead the nation.
Omokri said Obi’s comments appear to have intensified after his recent trip to Washington, D.C., between September 23 and 25. He accused Obi of using national security incidents for political advantage, including the death of Brigadier-General M. Uba and the abduction of 25 girls.
According to Omokri, the late General Uba should be honoured, not used in political discussions. He compared the situation to the 2014 killing of Major General Harold Greene of the United States Army, noting that the incident did not make Americans describe their country as “disgraced.”
Omokri said events like terrorist attacks happen in many nations and should not be used to undermine the image of the country. He added that members of the Nigerian Armed Forces may view Obi’s comments as disrespectful, especially toward fallen officers.
He ended his statement by urging political leaders to avoid remarks that could demoralise security personnel or politicise national tragedies.
