Soccer Star Victor Boniface’s Fiancee Calls Off Wedding After Discovering His Assets Were in His Mother’s Name.
While drafting their marriage contract, it was revealed that all of Victor’s assets were registered under his mother. This revelation reportedly shocked his fiancée, leading her to call off the wedding.
If that story is true here something to think about, a traditional wedding or at most, a church wedding is often more than enough. In today’s world, when someone insists that only a court wedding is valid, especially in countries like the U.S., it’s worth asking why.
I know people who separated from their spouse more than 10 years ago yet never completed the legal divorce process because of the complications and pain involved.
Remember, nobody walks into marriage planning for divorce. Everyone who exchanges vows does so believing it will be for better or worse.
When someone insists on legal paperwork after a traditional wedding where family and community are present. And a church wedding before both the community and God, it’s worth pausing to ask some questions.
What exactly are they looking for beyond the vows already exchanged and the bonds already established?
If someone insists on conditions that go far beyond family and community blessings, it often says more about them than about you. It may reflect their own doubts, their own fears, or even a lack of trust in themselves not necessarily in you.
At the end of the day, real love is about commitment, not paperwork.
At the end of the day, marry the person who’s ready to walk life’s journey with you even without a ring.

The Nigeria Police Force has disowned a Wanted Person Bulletin circulating on social media, which claimed that popular Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, was declared wanted by the Inspector-General of Police Monitoring Unit.
In a statement issued on Thursday, tagged “Clarification on Police Gazette Bulletin of Wanted Person,” the Force Headquarters described the publication as fake and unofficial, stressing that it did not originate from the police
The police warned members of the public against falling for such misinformation, urging Nigerians to always verify sensitive security information from official police channels before sharing.
The statement reads; “The Nigeria Police Force wishes to clarify that the recent Wanted Person Bulletin circulating about stating that the Nollywood Actress, Iyabo Ojo is wanted by the Office of The IGP Monitoring Unit is NOT an official communication from the Force.
“The Nigeria Police Force urges members of the public to verify information through official channels and be cautious of misinformation.
The fake bulletin that Iyabo Ojo is wanted, which went viral across various platforms, had sparked outrage and confusion, with many questioning its authenticity.
This clarification comes amid growing concerns over the use of forged documents and fake press statements to smear public figures and mislead the public.
Oseloka, the son of the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, has caused a stir on social media following a viral photo with British–Nigerian queer Kent Okwesa.
In the photos that have been a growing sensation on social media, Oseloka is seen in different settings having a special dinner date with Okwesa.
The duo was seen posing happily in another photo.
Sharing the photos, Okwesa wrote: “I’ve come so far, worked so hard, so this entire week I’m celebrating my birthday. I’m proud of you angel.”
The photos that surfaced on social media have since sparked a stir among netizens and supporters of the presidential candidate.
Speculations circulating in the media has it that, Super Falcons outrightly rejected their camp allowances of about $30,000 per player in Naira equivalent.
Sports analyst Aron clarified the situation on Arise TV.
According to him, the players were offered their allowances in Naira, but insisted on being paid in dollars.
“The part of the story they are not telling is that these girls were given the money,” Aron said.
“From the grapevine, the NFF proposed paying their total bonuses and camp allowances of $30,000 in Naira at the exchange rate of N1,530. The players refused, saying, ‘We don’t play in Nigeria. What do we want to do in Naira?’”
“So, the fact that they were not paid immediately is not the fault of the NFF,” Aron emphasized.
“Government directives were followed. The NSC sent the money to the NFF. The players refused Naira. It’s kind of embarrassing if you ask me.”
We’re still digging to find what is going on… Stay tuned 🏃🏿♂️
One things for sure, with that game yesterday. I’m seeing a different style, trying to play transitions more centrally, trying to accommodate Gyökeres. We’re more direct in our approach.
We’re new to this style and it’s gonna take a couple of games or more to get it right, we still managed to win yesterday despite the bad performance which is a good thing! Even Saka had a poor game by his standards yesterday which further reiterates the point.
Gyökeres is very physical and I’ve seen glimpses of what he can bring us when he starts firing.
To add to that some of our players hasnt really had a full pre-season, they’re gonna take some more training sessions to be fully fit. Have some patience gooners, I’m confident that it’ll workout.
Former Manchester United out-of-favour striker Marcus Rashford made his debut as Barcelona thrashed nine-man Mallorca 3-0 in their La Liga 2025/26 season opener.
Rashford came on in the 69th minute for his Barcelona debut, as the Catalan side began their title defence with a firm statement.
Rashford, who is on a season-long loan from ManU, became the first English player to feature for the first team in a competitive game since Gary Lineker in 1989.
The 27-year-old played as a centre-forward but did not have any chances to score .Raphinha nodded in the opener following a fine right-wing cross from Lamine Yamal.
Ferran Torres smashed in their second goal, while Mallorca captain Antonio Raillo was lying on the ground in the box with a head injury after blocking a Yamal shot.
And Vedat Muriqi was sent off for a high boot on debutant Barcelona goalkeeper Joan Garcia, a decision upgraded from a yellow card after a video assistant referee (VAR) review.
It took Barcelona 60 minutes, including stoppage time, to score past the nine men, Yamal hammering in their third goal with almost the last kick.
Chelsea legend Didier Drogba has waded into the transfer row between Atalanta and Ademola Lookman, submitting a 50-page petition to the Italian club demanding fairness in the Nigerian star’s proposed move to Inter Milan.
According to African Hub, the petition, endorsed by the Confederation of African Football (CAF), calls for “a fair and transparent transfer process” after Atalanta reportedly rejected two bids from Inter, including a €45 million offer in late July.
The Italian club is holding out for €50 million to €55 million, despite Lookman already agreeing to personal terms with the Nerazzurri.
The 27-year-old Super Eagles forward has refused to return to pre-season training in Bergamo and is currently believed to be in Portugal, having spent several days in London. Lookman is said to be furious at Atalanta for blocking the move, insisting Inter’s offer was fair value.
Drogba, Africa’s all-time great, delivered the petition in Italy, with African Hub posting on X:
“Didier Drogba has landed in Italy to submit a 50-page petition to Atalanta, approved by CAF, advocating for a fair and transparent transfer process for Africa’s top talent, Ademola Lookman, Africa’s Best Player of the Year.”
The post praised Drogba’s intervention as a matter that goes beyond football, stressing the importance of “accountability and justice in global football transfers, especially when it concerns African stars.”
With the transfer window approaching its deadline, Lookman’s agents are set to return to Italy to try to break the deadlock, while Inter remain confident of landing their top attacking target.
