Latoya Ekemode: I married Orlando Julius despite being 17 years younger

Latoya Ekemode, widow of late highlife and Afrobeat icon Orlando Julius, has opened up about their marriage, saying she chose to marry him despite being 17 years younger. Four years after the saxophonist’s passing in 2022, she explained that age was never a barrier to the bond they shared. Latoya recalled meeting Orlando Julius in the late 1970s, when she was a young performer drawn to his music, charisma and dedication to African sound. Over time, friendship blossomed into love, and she eventually became not only his wife but also his stage partner and manager, working closely with him on tours and recordings. According to her, some friends and relatives initially questioned the decision to marry a man much older and already an established star. However, she said their relationship was built on mutual respect, genuine affection and a shared […]

O’Neill: Iheanacho has been terrific

Celtic manager Martin O’Neill has described Super Eagles striker Kelechi Iheanacho as “terrific” following a string of decisive performances in the Scottish Premiership title race. The Nigerian forward has come up big for the Hoops in recent weeks, scoring late winners and crucial goals despite limited minutes and earlier injury problems. Iheanacho grabbed the headlines with a dramatic 99th-minute penalty in Celtic’s 3–2 victory over Motherwell at Fir Park, keeping their championship hopes alive heading into the final day. Before that, he netted the match-winner in a 2–1 win over Hibernian, taking his tally to four goals in his last five appearances across all competitions. “Iheanacho has been terrific for us with the little cameo roles that he’s done,” O’Neill told BBC Scotland after the Motherwell game. “He’s had a really frustrating time this season with hamstring problems, but he […]

Arbeloa: I’ll be happy if Mourinho returns as Real Madrid coach

Real Madrid coach Álvaro Arbeloa has said he would be happy if his former manager José Mourinho returned to the Bernabéu amid intense speculation linking the Portuguese tactician with the job. Reports in Spain and Portugal claim club president Florentino Pérez is seriously considering bringing back Mourinho as head coach after a trophyless season. According to Spanish outlet The Objective, one scenario being explored would see Mourinho installed as first-team manager with Arbeloa staying on as his assistant, effectively recreating their close relationship from the early 2010s. Sources close to the former right-back say he is open to such an arrangement and “would not mind” working under his old boss if it benefits the club. Speaking recently about the rumours, Arbeloa brushed aside any suggestion that he feels threatened by Mourinho’s possible return. He has consistently described the Benfica coach […]

Tambuwal: ADC structure not built for Atiku, defends coalition exits

Former Sokoto State governor and Sokoto South senator, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has said the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is not a party whose structure was built for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar or any single politician. Speaking on a Channels Television programme, he dismissed claims that the ADC had been hijacked to serve Atiku’s presidential ambition ahead of 2027. Tambuwal explained that the ADC’s ongoing coalition arrangements were designed as a broader platform for opposition forces, not a personal vehicle for Atiku. He insisted that decisions within the party are taken collectively by its organs and leaders, including chairman David Mark and other stakeholders, rather than being dictated by one individual. Reacting to the exit of key figures like Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso from the coalition, Tambuwal said their decisions were “personal choices” and not evidence of a crisis […]

DHQ details slain ISIS Al‑Minuki’s decade‑long terror network

Nigeria’s Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has given fresh details about the decade‑long terror network run by slain Islamic State commander Abu‑Bilal Al‑Minuki, also known as Abu‑Mainok. The senior ISIS figure was confirmed killed this week in a joint Nigerian–US operation targeting his compound in the Lake Chad Basin. According to military and diplomatic briefings, Al‑Minuki had been on the radar of Western and African intelligence services for years as a key architect of ISIS’ expansion into West and Central Africa. Sanctioned by the United States in 2023, he was accused of coordinating funding, training and logistics for Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) cells operating around Lake Chad and deep into the Sahel. DHQ assessments link Al‑Minuki to a web of attacks on military bases, ambushes on convoys, mass kidnappings and cross‑border raids in Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Cameroon over the […]

S&P upgrades Nigeria’s credit rating to ‘B’, cites economic reforms, FX gains

S&P Global Ratings has upgraded Nigeria’s long-term foreign and local currency sovereign credit ratings to ‘B’ from ‘B-’, in what marks the country’s first ratings upgrade by the agency in about 14 years. The outlook on the ratings is stable, while the short-term sovereign ratings were affirmed at ‘B’. In its latest review, S&P said Nigeria’s creditworthiness has improved on the back of President Bola Tinubu’s sustained economic reforms, including FX market liberalisation, subsidy removal and efforts to boost non-oil revenues. The agency noted that the unification and flexibilisation of the exchange rate have bolstered access to foreign currency and supported a more market-driven FX environment. S&P also cited recovering oil production, higher fiscal revenues and rising external reserves as key factors behind the upgrade. It pointed to improved external buffers helped by better FX liquidity, inflows from multilateral lenders […]
