Khamenel’s Son is Unacceptable To Me- Donald Trump

Trump said Khamenei’s son is “unacceptable to me.” Iran’s parliament speaker responded: our fate will not be decided by “Epstein’s gang.”

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh mocked Trump’s demand to be involved in choosing Iran’s next leader, telling the Raisina Dialogue in New Delhi: “President Trump is asking for a leadership change in Iran, while he can’t even appoint the mayor of New York. Can you imagine this colonial approach?” He called the U.S.-Israeli campaign an “existential war.”

The remarks came after Trump told TIME he must be involved in selecting a new supreme leader following the assassination of Ayatollah Khamenei. “Khamenei’s son is unacceptable to me,” Trump said. Iran’s parliament speaker Ghalibaf responded on X that Iran’s fate “will be determined solely by the proud Iranian nation, not by Epstein’s gang.”

Khatibzadeh also said Iran has not closed the Strait of Hormuz, describing Tehran as “an anchor of stability.” Trump has demanded Iran’s “unconditional surrender.” Iran’s president rejected the demand, saying: “They will take their dream to the grave.”

Osimhem Surprises Sister With A Tesla Cybertruck

Nigerian football star Victor Osimhen has surprised his sister, Blessing Osimhen, with a brand-new Tesla Cybertruck.

In a post made on X by The Nation Online, photos circulating on social media showed the futuristic electric pickup truck on display at Polanco Exotic Cars, where the dealership reportedly credited the Super Eagles striker for purchasing the vehicle.

The gesture quickly drew attention online, with fans praising the Nigerian international for celebrating his sister with the luxury electric truck.

Osimhen, who plays a key role for the Nigeria national football team, has earned a reputation not only for his performances on the pitch but also for his generosity toward family and close associates.

The Cybertruck, manufactured by Tesla, is one of the most talked-about electric vehicles in the world due to its distinctive design and advanced technology.

Fans and well-wishers have continued to react to the surprise gift, describing the gesture as a touching display of family appreciation by the Nigerian striker.

Osimhen Can Fly Too High Above Opponents Defenders -Virgil Van Dijk

According to recent report from Sky Sports on 11th March, 2026, Liverpool defender and Captain Virgil van Dijk in his UCL post match interview, spoke on Victor Osimhen’s incredible header skill which he displayed against his side in their last night’s UEFA Champions league round of 16 first leg clash in Turkey.

Van Dijk recounted he had a clearer view of Victor Osimhen’s header attempt in the clash, as he tried with his teammates at the defense line to stop Osimhen from securing a remarkable goal with his head that night.

The Netherlands international and 34-year-old defender reiterated that Victor Osimhen is a great striker who has continued to be consistent and maintained an incredible form at Galatasaray. Van Dijk said Osimhen can really fly too high above defenders to score with his head and there is no doubt about that.

However, many football analysts had already predicted Victor Osimhen will score a home goal against Liverpool in last night’s UCL clash and the Nigerian forward performed wonderfully throughout the match, but could not find back of the net before the final whistle.

Despite that, Van Dijk applauds the former Napoli attacker for knowing how to jump extremely high above defenders in the 18-yard-box while attempting to secure a goal for Galatasaray.

DR Congo FA President Sentenced For Life

The President of the Democratic Republic of Congo Football Federation, FECOFA, Jean-Guy Blaise Mayolas, has been handed a life sentence after being found guilty of multiple financial offences.

The conviction followed an eight-month probe into allegations of corruption and financial misconduct within the country’s football governing body.

A court found Mayolas culpable of offences including money laundering, embezzlement, forgery, and the use of falsified documents.

The ruling was delivered in his absence, emphasizing the seriousness of the charges brought against him.

Two other senior officials of the federation were also convicted in connection with the case.

FECOFA Secretary-General, Badji Mombo Wantete, and the federation’s Treasurer, Raoul Kanda, were each sentenced to five years in prison over their roles in the financial irregularities.

The verdict is being viewed as a significant step in the authorities’ push to promote transparency and accountability in the administration of football in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Officials say holding senior figures responsible for wrongdoing will help rebuild confidence in the country’s sporting institutions.

VDM Warns Tonto Dikeh Over Dramatic Spiritual Displays

Popular Nigerian influencer, VeryDarkMan, has criticized actress Tonto Dikeh following a viral video showing her leading a “deliverance” session during a school visit.

The incident occurred on Friday, March 6, 2026, when Tonto Dikeh shared several clips on her Instagram page documenting what she described as a spiritual encounter during an evangelism outreach at the school.

In the videos, the actress explained that as she and her team were preparing to leave, she sensed a “spirit of death” in the area.

She said she immediately alerted her team, and the group began praying.

The prayers reportedly evolved into a deliverance session involving some of the students.

Reacting to the clips, VeryDarkMan condemned the event, urging Tonto Dikeh to refrain from involving children in such dramatic spiritual displays online.

He also warned the actress to avoid the school, noting that it is situated within his community.

He added that rather than staging public deliverance sessions, the actress should focus on offering tangible support.

VeryDarkMan highlighted his personal contribution to the school, saying he had renovated parts of the facility to encourage and support the students.

“With all due respect to Tonto Dikeh …..this is a warning do not come to my area to do this again…..na only poor man children good to test your powers, leave my area kids alone, we want to raise kids with real life orientation not an ideology that if you don’t make it there is something following you from village,prayers are good however without work prayers are not useful….Take your new content somewhere else leave ghetto kids alone,”he wrote in the Instagram caption.
