Dollar rain as bonuses and cash pledges pour in for high flying Super Eagles

Nigeria’s Super Eagles are set for a major financial windfall following their impressive run at AFCON 2025, with bonuses, private pledges and goal incentives piling up around the squad. The team’s 4 0 Round of 16 win over Mozambique and quarter final progress have triggered multiple layers of payments from the Nigeria Football Federation, government and supporters.​ ScoreNigeria reports that each player has already received a 15,000 win bonus in cash for the Round of 16 victory against Mozambique. This is in addition to a separate 10,000 per goal pledge for knockout games, which saw the squad share about ₦58 million after scoring four times in that match.​ Beyond official bonuses, billionaire industrialist Abdul Samad Rabiu has promised the team 500,000 dollars if they beat hosts Morocco to reach the final.

Oliseh defends AFCON commentary as fans disagree

Former Super Eagles captain and ex-head coach Sunday Oliseh has reacted to mixed reactions trailing his colour commentary during Nigeria’s 2–1 AFCON win over Tanzania. While the result gave Nigeria a positive start to the tournament, his analysis became a major talking point on social media.​ Some fans praised Oliseh for his blunt and detailed assessment of the Super Eagles’ performance. Others, however, accused him of being too harsh and suggested his comments showed a lack of support for the team despite the victory.​ Responding in an official statement, Oliseh said he was disappointed by the negative narrative being pushed online. He explained that his remarks were driven by professionalism and a strong desire to see Nigerian football grow, not by hostility toward the players or head coach Eric Chelle.​ Oliseh insisted that objective analysis should not be mistaken for […]

Joshua, Paul Promise Knockouts Ahead £100m Miami Fight

Two-time world champion Anthony Joshua and YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul have promised knockouts in their highly anticipated £100 million eight-round heavyweight bout set for December 19 at Miami’s Kaseya Centre, streamed live on Netflix. Joshua, returning after a knockout loss to Daniel Dubois, fiercely declared he’ll “break” Paul’s face and body, stomping all over him. The 6’6" Joshua must weigh in under 245 pounds, while Paul, much smaller at 6’1", expects to enter at 215–225 pounds. Paul, with a 12-1 record, called Joshua one of the best heavyweights ever and said he’s willing to “die in the ring” to win, promising to avoid Joshua’s power for eight rounds. The rules prohibit post-weigh-in rehydration. Both fighters downplayed criticism over the match-up, focusing on their determination and huge payday. Joshua is now training with Oleksandr Usyk’s team, having split from his former coach. […]

Mikel Obi tips Arsenal to win UEFA Champions League

Former Super Eagles captain John Obi Mikel has backed Arsenal to win both the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League this season, claiming Mikel Arteta’s squad is the strongest in world football. Speaking on The Obi One Podcast, Mikel, who won two Premier League titles and a Champions League crown with Chelsea, praised Arsenal’s balance, depth, and mentality under Arteta. “This season, I think it’s Arsenal’s to lose,” Mikel said. “The squad and the depth they have are frightening. They have the best squad, not just in England but in world football right now. “Sometimes it’s not the starting eleven that wins you games, it’s who comes off the bench. We’ve seen Arsenal — Martinelli coming off the bench to win games, Eze, Merino, and Havertz injured — it’s frightening. Arteta knows this is Arsenal’s title to lose.” Arsenal […]

Kenya’s Marathon Star Ruth Chepngetich Banned 3 Years for Doping Violation

Nairobi, Kenya — Kenya’s women’s marathon world record holder Ruth Chepngetich has been banned for three years after admitting to anti-doping rule violations, the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) announced on Thursday. However, her record-breaking 2:09:56 marathon time, set in Chicago last October, will remain valid as it was achieved before her positive drug test. Chepngetich, 31, was provisionally suspended in July after the banned diuretic hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) was found in her urine sample collected on March 14. Laboratory results revealed an HCTZ concentration of 3,800ng/mL, far exceeding the World Anti-Doping Agency’s minimum threshold of 20ng/mL. Initially, Chepngetich denied any wrongdoing, claiming no knowledge of how the substance entered her system. An AIU investigation analyzed her medications, supplements, and phone data but found no evidence to support her defense. Two weeks after her suspension, on July 31, Chepngetich changed her explanation, […]
