Super Eagles winger Samuel Chukwueze has called on his teammates to “give everything” as Nigeria take on DR Congo in a decisive World Cup qualifying playoff final in Rabat. Chukwueze, one of Nigeria’s standout performers in the thrilling 4-1 extra-time win over Gabon, said the squad’s togetherness and “family bond” will be key to overcoming this final hurdle. “This team is a family. We stay together, fight for each other, and push each other. That is why we won against Gabon. We know what the World Cup means to Nigerians—we must qualify, it’s not negotiable. We want to give our people back home joy,” Chukwueze said. He praised Victor Osimhen, Akor Adams, and Chidera Ejuke for their contributions and also saluted the defensive efforts of William Troost-Ekong and young defender Benjamin Frederick. Looking ahead, Chukwueze insisted, “We’ll fight from the […]

NAF Neutralizes Terrorists, Destroys Logistics Hub in Zamfara

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) executed precision airstrikes on November 14, 2025, targeting a major terrorist stronghold and logistics hub in Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara State. Intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance identified the Sauri bandit camp as both a defensive shelter and logistics base, used to hide rustled livestock and support armed groups. NAF aircraft conducted multiple strike passes, destroying hideouts and logistics facilities, and neutralising numerous terrorists who tried to escape into surrounding vegetation. Post-operation assessments confirmed critical structures, supply resources, and several fighters were eliminated, crippling the group’s operational capacity. Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, NAF spokesperson, said the successful operation reaffirms the commitment of Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke’s directive to “find them, hunt them down, and protect our people.” The strikes reflect ongoing counterterrorism efforts to deny bandits safe havens and restore peace and stability across […]

PFN Slams Gumi’s ‘Staged Funerals’ Comments as Insensitive and Irresponsible

The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) has strongly condemned Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi’s recent allegations that Christians in Nigeria’s Middle Belt are staging funerals to fabricate claims of genocide. In a statement by PFN National Publicity Secretary Dr. Sylvanus Ukafia, the Christian body called Gumi’s claim “baseless, inflammatory, and morally reprehensible,” dismissing the idea as illogical and unsupported by any credible evidence. Gumi had alleged that Christians were burying empty coffins to create a false narrative of targeted killings. PFN rebuffed this, explaining that funerals in Nigerian culture—whether Christian, Muslim, or traditional—are communal, deeply rooted rites not prone to fraudulent staging. The group argued that such a scheme would be impossible to conceal, as public burials require real families and witnesses. PFN accused Gumi of spreading misinformation to trivialize genuine suffering and undermine documented terrorist violence in the region. […]

Prison Looms for Brazil’s Bolsonaro After Court Rejects His Appeal

Brazil’s far-right former president Jair Bolsonaro faces imminent prison after Supreme Court judges unanimously rejected his appeal against a 27-year sentence for masterminding a failed coup following his 2022 election loss to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro, convicted in September, was found guilty of plotting to prevent Lula from taking office, with prosecutors alleging the scheme included plans to assassinate Lula and a Supreme Court judge—a plot averted due to lack of military support. With this latest decision, Bolsonaro’s legal team has only five days to file a final appeal, which can be swiftly quashed by lead judge Alexandre de Moraes. Once the final judgment is published—expected as early as next week—a warrant for Bolsonaro’s arrest will likely be issued the same day. The sentence, already reduced for age, was based on Bolsonaro’s role in instigating a violent […]

Osimhen Seeks More Goals as Nigeria Chase World Cup Qualification

Nigeria’s prolific striker Victor Osimhen is aiming for more goals as the Super Eagles prepare to face DR Congo in a decisive World Cup qualifying play-off in Rabat on Sunday. Having scored twice in extra time against Gabon for a 4-1 win in the semi-finals, Osimhen stands as a key figure as Nigeria fights for survival in the qualification race. The winner of this play-off advances to a six-nation intercontinental tournament in Mexico next March, keeping hopes alive for the 2026 World Cup. Osimhen, the 2023 African Player of the Year, has led Nigeria with a recent hat-trick against Benin and numerous crucial goals throughout the campaign. Nigeria have appeared in six of the past eight World Cups since 1994, and are determined not to miss back-to-back tournaments after failing to qualify for Qatar. Osimhen admitted disappointment over missed chances […]

China Warns Citizens to Stay Away from Japan Amid Diplomatic Tensions

China has issued a travel advisory urging its citizens to avoid Japan after a diplomatic row flared over Tokyo’s recent comments regarding Taiwan. The dispute began when Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi told parliament that military action against Taiwan—a self-ruled island claimed by China—could prompt a Japanese response. China responded by summoning Japan’s ambassador and later warning Chinese nationals of “significant risks to personal safety” in Japan through its embassy’s official WeChat channel. Beijing criticized the “provocative remarks regarding Taiwan” and noted the damage to the atmosphere of people-to-people exchanges. In light of the advisory, China’s three biggest airlines—Air China, China Southern, and China Eastern—offered full refunds and changes on flights to Japan through December 2025. Japan’s government called China’s warning “inconsistent with the promotion of a strategic and mutually beneficial relationship” and has summoned China’s ambassador in response to […]

Mbappe to Miss France’s Qualifier Against Azerbaijan Due to Ankle Injury

France captain Kylian Mbappe has been ruled out of Sunday’s World Cup qualifier against Azerbaijan due to inflammation in his right ankle, the French Football Federation (FFF) announced. The 26-year-old Real Madrid attacker scored twice in Thursday’s 4-0 victory over Ukraine, which secured France’s place at the 2026 World Cup finals in North America, but now requires further medical tests in Madrid. France coach Didier Deschamps will also miss Eduardo Camavinga and suspended Manu Kone, further depleting his squad for the campaign’s final Group D game in Baku. Thursday’s match saw a minute’s silence to remember the victims of the 2015 Paris attacks. Mbappe, who coolly converted a penalty and added a second goal, inspired France’s dominant win, with Michael Olise and Hugo Ekitike also scoring. France, winners in 2018 and runners-up in 2022, lead Group D with an insurmountable […]

Osas Ighodaro Says Tomboy Past Prepared Her for 3 Cold Dishes Action Role

Nollywood actress Osas Ighodaro has shared that her tomboy past—filled with athletics, climbing trees, and roughhousing—prepared her for her action-packed role in the new movie 3 Cold Dishes. The film, produced by Asurf Oluseyi and executive produced by Burna Boy and his mother Bose Ogulu, tells the story of three women trafficked as teenagers and forced into prostitution across Africa. Osas underwent intense preparation for her role as Esosa, including mastering French to play a character who grew up among Francophones. “I practised so hard to make sure that the French came off as authentic and genuine as possible… It took some time to rehearse and practise, and I’m glad that you guys liked it,” she said at the Lagos premiere. The film, featuring a pan-African cast and shot across Nigeria, Benin Republic, Ivory Coast, and Mauritania, showcases daring stunts […]

The Truth About Nigeria’s Tax Reform on Investment Income and Personal Savings

Recent claims that Nigeria’s Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) is introducing new taxes on personal savings have sparked confusion. In reality, the withholding tax on interest income from Treasury bills, bonds, and promissory notes is not a new policy—it has been enforced under the Companies Income Tax Act (CITA) for years. The renewed enforcement simply reminds financial institutions to deduct tax at the source on investment earnings. Importantly, the tax does not apply to the principal saved, but to the interest earned. There is no increase or expansion of taxes since the current administration took office; the public notice only reinforces compliance with existing law. While savings accounts themselves are not taxed, interest generated from savings constitutes taxable income and is taxed accordingly. A temporary exemption on these earnings expired last year, and renewed enforcement aligns with global practices to […]
