Congratulations to the entire Arsenal FC, starting from the management, to the coaching crew, players, fans and well wishers of the club.
Arsenal have been crowned champions of the 2025/26 Premier League season after Manchester City suffered a costly draw to Bournemouth, ending the Gunners’ 22-year wait for an English top-flight title.
The result at the Vitality Stadium handed Mikel Arteta’s side an unassailable lead at the top of the table, sparking wild celebrations among Arsenal players, officials and supporters across North London.
Arsenal had moved to the brink of the title after their hard-fought 1-0 victory over Burnley on Monday, with Kai Havertz scoring the decisive goal from a Bukayo Saka corner.
That win took the Gunners five points clear of Manchester City, meaning Pep Guardiola’s side needed a victory against Bournemouth to keep the title race alive until the final day.
However, City’s draw on the South Coast confirmed Arsenal as champions before their final fixture of the season against Crystal Palace.
Naija News understands that the Cherries extended their unbeaten streak to 17 league games, a run which has secured European football for the first time in the club’s history.
The triumph is Arsenal’s first Premier League title since the famous 2003/04 Invincibles season under Arsene Wenger, when the club went through the entire league campaign unbeaten.

If a man loves you, he must take you back to where he’s coming from… let them go with their wives and their kids,” she said, expressing frustration over immigration and social pressures.
The comments have drawn sharp criticism online, with many describing them as discriminatory and dangerous, particularly for mixed-nationality families and children born in South Africa.
The incident comes amid growing tension linked to Operation Dudula, a group that has been actively campaigning against undocumented migrants and calling for stricter controls on access to public services.
In another update, these tensions have spilled into schools, where foreign pupils have reportedly been targeted by Operation Dundula. The situation has triggered fear among migrant families, with concerns that children are increasingly becoming targets in a broader anti-immigrant backlash.
Education authorities have maintained that all children have the right to schooling regardless of nationality, warning that any attempt to block access would violate existing laws and protections.
The combination of inflammatory rhetoric and on-the-ground protests is contributing to a climate of fear, particularly among African migrants, including Nigerians, who make up a significant portion of foreign communities in South Africa.
South Africa has a history of xenophobic violence, often driven by economic hardship, unemployment, and competition for limited resources. However, observers note that recent developments reflect a worrying shift, with rhetoric increasingly targeting families and children.
The government has repeatedly condemned xenophobic attacks and pledged to maintain law and order, but critics argue that stronger action is needed to curb hate speech and protect vulnerable communities.
For many affected families, the immediate concern is safety, as uncertainty grows over how far such sentiments could translate into real-world actions.

The decision was taken on Wednesday evening, a day after the Blues lost 3-0 to Brighton in the Premier League.
The result saw Chelsea drop into seventh place, as their hopes of Champions League qualification took a huge dent.
It was also the team’s fifth consecutive loss under Rosenior in the league.
Rosenior left Strasbourg to replace Enzo Maresca in January.
Football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, wrote on X: “Chelsea have decided to SACK Liam Rosenior with immediate effect.
“It’s OVER after 4 months, and 5 consecutive defeats with 0 goals scored.”
The Nigerian Senate has appointed 12 members to work in collaboration with the House of Representatives on the Electoral Act Amendment Bill.

A prominent figure of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Peter Obi, has joined ongoing protests at the National Assembly in Abuja over the rejection of mandatory electronic transmission of election results by the Senate. According to DAILY POST reports that protesters on Monday morning stormed the National Assembly to protest the action taken by the Senate.
Speaking at the protest ground, Obi faulted the Senate’s position on the electronic transmission of election results, urging lawmakers to allow the electoral process to proceed without restrictions. Obi said, “Allow the election to go through the normal process. Whatever the outcome is, we will accept it. Why introduce confusion after the process?”
The protest, tagged ‘Occupy National Assembly’, saw Nigerian youths and pro-democracy activists converging at the entrance of the National Assembly to express opposition to the Senate’s rejection of e-transmission of election results.
It was gathered that the demonstration attracted a heavy security presence, with personnel drawn from the Nigeria Police Force, the Nigerian Army, and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, deployed to maintain order around the complex.
The protesters are demanding that the National Assembly reconsider its position on the e-transmission clause of the Electoral Act Amendment Bill, insisting that electronic transmission is vital to transparency, credibility, and public confidence in Nigeria’s electoral process.
As of the time of filing this report, the protest remained peaceful, with security operatives closely monitoring activities at the scene
The Presidency has urged Nigerians to take extra measures to prevent snakes from invading their environments.
The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Economic Affairs, Tope Fasua, stated this on Monday, February 2, while reacting to the death of popular Abuja singer, Ifunanya Nwangene, fondly called Nanya.
Fasua also spoke on anti-venom shortages which many attributed to the singer’s death.
While sympathising with the deceased’s family for the loss, he wrote, “We are in snake season. When there is heat, they come out. They sunbathe. Then they like hiding inside houses. They live in ecosystems. They also never work together. So, seeing two inside one room is really odd. They snack on each other,” Fasua said.
Ifunanya, also fondly called the “Soprano Queen”, died on Saturday after she was reportedly bitten by a Cobra at her residence in Lugbe, a surburb of the Federal Capital Territory.
The incident, which occurred in the early hours of the day, has since sparked intense public debate, with many Nigerians questioning how a preventable death could happen in the nation’s capital if life-saving anti-venom medications are available.
The singer reportedly booked her rider to Divine Health Hospital, located at the Trade Fair Mall in Lugbe but she was allegedly told that the facility did not have anti-venom and could not treat her. She proceeded to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Jabi, afterwards at about 10 a.m.
Speaking further on the incident, Fasua said, “Not everything is politics. Your whining candidate will not provide anti venom for all hospitals, private and public. Presidents are not for petty work but big policies. A president is not a medicine hawker. If he’s going around weeping with every mourner and checking every hospital for anti-venom, he won’t have time to think. And what about other lifesaving drug? How many will we pursue?” he said.
He urged Nigerians to keep their environment safe from snake.
“If you have rats or toads around or thick carpet bushes, you are creating an ecosystem. Block under your door. And invest in fumigation at times like this especially. Jack your landlord to do the needful or cooperate with other tenants. Dogs can also help. They kill snakes. Cats don’t. Keep learning. Open your eyes always to notice creepy crawlers. Stay clean. Keep places lighted too,” he added.
Facts emerged on Sunday on why the nomination meeting of candidates for the vacant stool of the Awujale and paramount ruler of Ijebuland was put on hold by the Fusengbuwa ruling house.
The PUNCH Online also learnt that no fewer than 60 candidates are jostling to become the next Awujale.
Recall that the Fusengbuwa ruling house, which is next in line to produce the Awujale of Ijebuland following the death of Oba Sikiru Adetona at the age of 91 in July 2025, had last Thursday formally announced that the nomination meeting would hold on Monday.
The announcement was contained in a letter dated December 11, 2025, and signed by the family’s spokesman, Abiodun Ogidan.
The meeting was scheduled to hold at Bisrod Hall, GRA, Ijebu-Ode in Ogun State.
The ruling house outlined strict protocols for the exercise, emphasising that only accredited family members would be allowed entry.
It also stated that each candidate contesting for the vacant stool would be represented by two family members, with one nominating the candidate and the other seconding the nomination.
The ruling house further directed that candidates themselves would not be part of the nomination meeting, but would instead be represented by their nominees.
Family members and accredited representatives were also urged to conduct themselves with utmost peace, respect and orderliness befitting the sacred process.
However, in another statement issued on Friday by the Nomination Committee, the ruling house announced the postponement of the meeting.
Titled “To All Members of Fusengbuwa Ruling House, Ijebu-Ode,” the statement read in part: “Due to circumstances beyond the family’s control, the Fusengbuwa Ruling House Awujale nomination meeting scheduled for Monday, December 15, 2025, has been postponed.
“The new date will be announced shortly. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.”
Speaking exclusively with our correspondent on Sunday, the Chairman of the Fusengbuwa ruling house and former National President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria, Otunba Abdulateef Owoyemi, said the meeting was put on hold following an intervention by the state government to prevent procedural errors that could result in litigation.
Owoyemi explained that the ruling house was summoned to a meeting by the state government on Tuesday to review the steps taken so far and ensure compliance with extant laws.
He dismissed insinuations that the postponement was connected to the candidature of Fuji musician, Alhaji Wasiu Ayinde, popularly known as KWAM1, whom the ruling house had reportedly said was not a member of the Fusengbuwa ruling house and therefore not qualified to contest.
“The postponement of the nomination meeting has nothing to do with any individual, far from that,” Owoyemi said.
“What actually happened is that we received a summons from the state government for a meeting on Tuesday. The meeting is to ensure that everything is done properly so that the selection process does not become a fertile ground for litigation or generate legal controversy.
“It is a matter of comparing notes and ensuring that we cross our Ts and dot our Is. We appreciate this because it will improve our standards and ensure that the process is flawless. There is nothing to worry about.”
The Vice Chairman of the ruling house, Prof. Fassy Yusuf, also confirmed on Sunday that the ruling house and the kingmakers had been invited to a meeting with the government on Tuesday, necessitating the postponement of the nomination meeting.
Prof. Yusuf said the number of princes aspiring to succeed the late Awujale, Oba Adetona, was not fewer than 60.
Speaking on the phone, the Professor of Mass Communication at the University of Lagos said, “There are certain things we have not done, so the government has scheduled a meeting with us for Tuesday. The government will meet with the ruling house, the kingmakers and the Awujale Interregnum Committee.
“It is to ensure that everything is in order, and the outcome of this meeting will determine when next we will hold the nomination meeting.
“The postponement has nothing to do with anyone. Whoever is saying that is only being mischievous and spreading falsehood. So far, about 60 people are in the race to become the next Awujale.”
Efforts to find a successor to the late Oba Adetona, who reigned for 65 years before his death in July 2025, had recently gathered momentum after the local government reportedly gave the ruling house 14 days to present candidates for the throne.
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.
According to a report in Daily Post Newspaper on Wednesday 12th November, Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North Senatorial District, has refuted claims that he chased after his estranged wife, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, for marriage.
Reacting to the backlash and widespread criticism surrounding his six-year union with the actress, Nwoko clarified that he never approached Regina but that her mother, Rita Daniels, was the one who introduced and brought her for marriage.
His statement comes amid growing public debate over the couple’s separation, following Regina’s recent allegations of domestic abuse and her declaration that she was no longer interested in continuing the marriage.
In response, Nwoko accused the actress of substance abuse and insisted she must undergo rehabilitation, a claim that further fueled online controversy.
The situation has sparked outrage among Nigerians, including celebrities, many of whom condemned the senator for allegedly marrying Regina when she was 17 years old, calling his actions “predatory” and urging him to resign from office.
Addressing the claims through a statement issued by his Communication and Technical Action Team to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Nwoko denied any wrongdoing and clarified the timeline of their marriage.
“For clarity, Regina Daniels was born on October 10, 2000. If she has been married to me for six years, that means she got married at 19, not 17,” the statement read.
“The public witnessed her family giving her away in marriage. There were witnesses to the fact that her mother personally brought her to me. I never went after her,” he added.
The ongoing drama between the senator and the popular actress continues to dominate social media conversations, with fresh revelations surfacing almost daily.
