NDLEA Open to Exporting Cannabis Oil, Bans Local Use

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has stated it is open to the controlled export of cannabis oil to boost foreign earnings but remains firmly opposed to its local consumption in Nigeria. Speaking at a scientific workshop, NDLEA Chairman Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Retd.) explained the agency's position. He emphasized that while the export of cannabis oil to countries where it is legal could be considered, such operations would be strictly licensed, monitored, and confined to export free zones. Marwa highlighted the significant health risks associated with cannabis, including mental health issues and addiction. He argued that for a country like Nigeria, which already has a high rate of substance abuse, allowing local use would be dangerous. The NDLEA is currently working with the Nigerian Academy of Science on an evidence-based study to guide the country's final policy […]

Cristiano Ronaldo Becomes Football’s First Billionaire

Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has officially become the first footballer to reach billionaire status, according to a Bloomberg report. The 40-year-old Al-Nassr forward's net worth is now valued at $1.4 billion. This milestone is attributed to his massive career earnings from salaries, which exceed $550 million, and lucrative, long-term endorsement deals like his contract with Nike. His record-breaking move to Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr in 2022, where he earns an estimated £177 million per year, significantly boosted his wealth. Ronaldo has also extended his contract with the club for two more years. While his long-time rival Lionel Messi has also earned over $600 million in his career, the Bloomberg report confirms Ronaldo as the first active player to cross the billion-dollar threshold.

England’s Kane Could Miss Wales Friendly With Injury

England captain Harry Kane is a doubt for Thursday's friendly against Wales after missing team training on Wednesday. The Bayern Munich striker joined the national squad despite suffering an ankle knock in his club's match last Saturday. While he initially stated it was "no problem," he and defender Jarell Quansah were kept indoors to follow individual routines while the rest of the squad trained. If Kane is unable to play, manager Thomas Tuchel will likely choose a replacement from options like Ollie Watkins, Marcus Rashford, Jarrod Bowen, or Anthony Gordon. Following the Wales friendly, England will turn their focus to a World Cup qualifier against Latvia as they aim to secure their place in the 2026 tournament.

Israel, Hamas Begin Indirect Gaza Ceasefire Talks in Egypt

Indirect talks between Israel and Hamas have begun in Egypt, with mediators shuttling between the two delegations in an effort to end the nearly two-year war in Gaza. The negotiations come as US President Donald Trump urges all parties to "move fast." The Hamas delegation is led by Khalil al-Hayya, who survived an Israeli assassination attempt in Qatar last month. A Palestinian source close to the talks warned that the negotiations are expected to be "difficult and complex." The talks commenced on the eve of the second anniversary of the October 7th Hamas attack that sparked the conflict. While diplomacy continues, Israeli attacks on Gaza have persisted, with at least 10 Palestinians reported killed since dawn. The overall death toll in Gaza since October 2023 has reached at least 67,160, according to local health authorities.

Qatar Says Israel Should Have Already Ceased Fire

Qatar has stated that Israel should have already implemented a ceasefire in Gaza, in line with the US-backed peace plan proposed by President Donald Trump. A spokesperson for Qatar's foreign ministry, Majed al-Ansari, said on Tuesday that the question of a ceasefire should be directed at Israel. He suggested that if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's commitment to the Trump plan was genuine, a cessation of hostilities should have already happened. The comments come as Hamas and Israel engage in indirect talks in Egypt this week regarding the 20-point proposal. Last Friday, President Trump himself called for Israel to "immediately stop the bombing" to facilitate a safe hostage release. While cautious about the ongoing negotiations, the Qatari official confirmed that his country would continue to host Hamas's political bureau as long as it remains a necessary channel for communication and […]

 PENGASSAN Fires Back at VP Shettima Over Dangote Dispute

The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association (PENGASSAN) has responded to Vice President Kashim Shettima's criticism of its recent strike, asserting it would take the same action again to protect its members. The dispute began when PENGASSAN launched a strike last week, alleging Dangote Refinery sacked 800 workers for joining the union.
