‘Your only hope is corners’ — Amad Diallo trolls Arsenal fan

Manchester United winger Amad Diallo has aimed a light-hearted dig at Arsenal after United’s dramatic 3–2 win over the Gunners at the Emirates on Sunday night. Diallo, making his second start since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations, was substituted late on as United worked to protect their narrow lead.​ United came from behind to secure all three points, with goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu putting them in control before Matheus Cunha sealed the victory with a stunning late strike. The result gave interim manager Michael Carrick his second win in as many matches and sparked lively banter between both fanbases online.​ After the match, Diallo joined the post‑match exchanges on X (formerly Twitter), responding to an Arsenal supporter by mocking the Gunners’ heavy reliance on set pieces this season. “Your [Arsenal] only hope is corner,” he […]

Liverpool contact Xabi Alonso over potential Anfield return

Liverpool have contacted the representatives of former midfielder Xabi Alonso to ask about his availability for a possible return to Anfield in the near future. The 44‑year‑old, who recently left Real Madrid by mutual consent after a difficult spell in charge, is said to have given a positive response to the initial approach from his old club.​ Alonso had previously turned down opportunities from both Bayern Munich and Liverpool in the spring of 2024, choosing instead to remain at Bayer Leverkusen, where he was enjoying a successful project. Liverpool’s latest move is described as an attempt to anticipate future developments and determine whether they can realistically count on him as a managerial option.​ The club’s hierarchy are balancing longstanding respect for Alonso’s legacy as a player with ongoing admiration for current manager Arne Slot, who remains in charge despite recent […]

Sinner ordered to remove banned wrist device at Australian Open

Jannik Sinner was told to remove a banned wrist device just minutes before his Australian Open fourth‑round clash with fellow Italian Luciano Darderi. The defending champion appeared on court wearing what looked like a Whoop fitness tracker under his wristband as he approached the net for the coin toss.​ Umpire Greg Allensworth spotted the device and immediately instructed Sinner to take it off, and the world No. 2 complied without protest. Images later showed he had tried to conceal the technology beneath his wristband, echoing earlier incidents in the tournament involving Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka, who were also told to remove similar gadgets.​ The incident came days after Sinner survived a gruelling match in extreme heat against Eliot Spizzirri, where he battled cramps and later admitted he was “lucky” with how the tournament’s heat rule was applied. Despite the […]

After governor’s exit, 21 Kano lawmakers join APC with Abba Yusuf

Twenty-one members of the Kano State House of Assembly have defected from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), deepening a major political shift in the state. The move came shortly after Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf formally resigned from the NNPP following his recent visit to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the State House in Abuja.​ In his resignation letter to the chairman of the Diso‑Chiranchi ward in Gwale Local Government Area, Yusuf cited “deepening internal crises” and “prolonged leadership disputes” within the NNPP as reasons for his exit. His defection was carried out alongside 21 state lawmakers, eight members of the House of Representatives and all 44 local government chairmen across Kano State, signalling a sweeping realignment.​ Prominent among the defectors are the Speaker of the House, Jibril Ismail Falgore (Rogo), and the Deputy […]

APC flags hoisted at Kano Govt House as Gov Yusuf prepares defection

APC flags have been hoisted at the Kano State Government House, signalling a major political realignment as Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf completes his move from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Vanguard reporters observed the flags flying at the complex on Monday, ahead of the governor’s expected formal defection.​ Yusuf, the only governor elected on the NNPP platform in 2023, recently resigned from the party, citing “deepening internal crises” and “prolonged leadership disputes” in a letter addressed to the Diso‑Chiranchi ward chairman in Gwale Local Government Area. His resignation followed a visit to President Bola Tinubu at the State House in Abuja and has set off a wave of defections in Kano.​ So far, 21 members of the Kano State House of Assembly have dumped the NNPP for the APC, including the Speaker, in […]

Sachet alcohol ban: activists protest at NAFDAC Lagos office

Consumer rights advocates on Monday stormed the Lagos office of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) to protest the planned enforcement of a ban on sachet alcoholic beverages. The demonstration was organised by the Coalition for the Protection of Consumers’ Rights and led by Comrade Olufemi Lawson.​ Lawson criticised the proposed enforcement as economically insensitive and poorly timed, warning it could worsen unemployment and hardship. He argued that manufacturers, distributors and consumers would all be hit, and questioned the policy’s consistency given that many of the affected products were previously tested, registered and approved by NAFDAC.​ He insisted that underage drinking is an enforcement problem, not a product problem, noting that sachet drinks are clearly labelled “not for sale to persons under 18”. The coalition also disputed claims of excessively high alcohol content, saying licensed […]

He also thanked the government for the opportunity to serve and represent Nigerians in Turkey at what he called a significant moment, reaffirming his commitment to unity, patriotism and positive representation of the country abroad.​

Iran protest death toll nears 6,000 as Tehran warns US

A U.S.-based rights group says nearly 6,000 people have been killed in Iran’s ongoing protest crackdown, as Tehran warns Washington against any form of intervention. The demonstrations, which began in late December over economic hardship, quickly evolved into mass protests against the Islamic republic, with huge rallies from January 8 and a nationwide internet shutdown now in its 18th day.​ The Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) said it has confirmed 5,848 deaths, including 209 security personnel, and is still investigating a further 17,091 possible fatalities. It also reported at least 41,283 arrests. By contrast, Iranian authorities last week gave an official toll of 3,117 dead, mostly described as security forces or bystanders killed by “rioters”.​ Rights monitors accuse security forces of firing directly at protesters under cover of the internet blackout. NetBlocks said the shutdown is “obscuring the extent […]

China warns citizens against Japan travel for Lunar New Year

China has urged its citizens to avoid travelling to Japan during next month’s Lunar New Year holiday, citing what it calls deteriorating public security and rising threats to Chinese nationals. The advisory comes amid a diplomatic spat after Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi suggested in November that Tokyo could intervene militarily if China attacked Taiwan.​ Beijing had already called on Chinese tourists to stay away from Japan following Takaichi’s comments, a move that contributed to a 45 percent year‑on‑year drop in Chinese visitors in December to around 330,000. Chinese tourists previously made up about a quarter of all foreign visitors, with nearly 7.5 million arrivals in the first nine months of 2025 and spending an estimated 3.7 billion dollars in the third quarter alone, helped by a weak yen.​ In a fresh statement on Monday, the foreign ministry’s Department of […]

Israeli fire kills three in Gaza as US pushes to advance deal

Israeli fire killed three Palestinians in two separate incidents in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, local health authorities have said. Medics reported that at least two people died east of the Tuffah neighbourhood in northern Gaza, while a 41‑year‑old man was killed by Israeli forces in Khan Younis in the south.​ Earlier, medical workers said an Israeli drone exploded on the rooftop of a multi‑storey building in Gaza City, wounding four civilians in the street below. The Israeli military did not immediately comment on any of the reported incidents.​ The violence comes as U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner push to advance a Gaza deal in meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Witkoff said their talks, held on Saturday, were “constructive and positive”, with both sides aligned on next steps and on the importance of continued cooperation on […]
