Adeleye fights back to seal crucial Davis Cup win

Nigeria’s number one tennis player Daniel Adeleye produced a strong comeback to defeat Abdulaziz Usmonjonov of Uzbekistan in the Davis Cup World Group II playoffs at the Lagos Lawn Tennis Club.​ After losing the first set, Adeleye regrouped to claim a 4–6, 6–2, 6–4 victory, earning Nigeria a vital point and reviving their chances in the tie.

Wike to critics: your successors will also betray you

Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike has warned political office holders who back acts of betrayal that their own successors will eventually turn against them. Speaking at the inauguration of the Rivers State Renewed Hope Ambassadors headquarters in Port Harcourt, Wike said any senator, representative, minister or governor who supports betrayal should expect to face the same treatment in future. He noted that second term governors trying to impose successors while backing treachery would “never survive it,” adding that such problems usually start immediately after the new governor is sworn in. Wike, who remains in a bitter rift with his successor, Governor Siminalayi Fubara, restated his commitment and that of his allies to President Bola Tinubu’s re election bid in 2027. He said Rivers people do not need the sitting governor to mobilise support for Tinubu and that the state […]

Fathia Balogun denies rift with Funke Akindele

Actress and filmmaker Fathia Balogun has dismissed claims that she is in conflict with fellow Nollywood star Funke Akindele.​ The rumours started after Funke sent Fathia a warm birthday message on February 5 and Fathia replied in Yoruba with “Ose Iya Ibeji,” meaning “thank you, mother of twins.” A blogger later suggested the exchange looked awkward, implying there was tension between the two actresses.​ Fathia has now rejected that narrative, accusing bloggers of creating unnecessary drama and spreading false stories about her relationships.​ Speaking in a live video, she warned bloggers to stop interfering in her personal and professional life. She stressed that Funke’s message was genuine and that her own response was polite and affectionate, not a sign of any problem.​ Fathia and Funke have previously been linked to controversy after reports that Funke unfollowed and blocked Fathia on […]

2Baba calls Wizkid and Fela comparisons ridiculous

Music icon Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has dismissed the ongoing comparison between Wizkid and late Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti as ridiculous. In a teaser from an upcoming episode of the Mic On podcast, 2Baba said it is disrespectful to Fela’s legacy and unfair to Wizkid to place both men side by side. He noted that each artiste should be judged within the context of his own era, style and impact. The debate intensified after Wizkid responded to criticism from Seun Kuti, Fela’s son, by claiming he is “bigger” than the Afrobeat pioneer. 2Baba stressed that Fela and Wizkid have made unique contributions to Nigerian music that cannot be measured on the same scale. He argued that constant comparisons ignore the different environments in which they created their work and add nothing useful to the conversation. He urged […]

Man City vs Galatasaray: Osimhen’s side chase 250th UCL goal

Galatasaray will be chasing a historic milestone when they face Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, needing just two goals to become the first Turkish club to reach 250 goals in UEFA Champions League history. Both teams desperately need three points in tomorrow’s Matchday 8 clash to strengthen their positions in the revamped 36‑team league phase.​ Manchester City sit 11th with 13 points from seven matches, while Galatasaray are 17th with the same number of games played. Under the new format, the top eight sides qualify directly for the Round of 16, clubs finishing 9th to 24th enter a two‑legged play‑off, and those 25th or lower are eliminated outright without dropping into the Europa League.​ Pep Guardiola’s men have limited recent history against Turkish opposition, having only previously faced Fenerbahce in the 1968/69 European Cup, where City lost 2–1 on […]

Northwest APC hails Abba Yusuf’s defection as best political move

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Northwest has hailed Kano State governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s defection from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) to the ruling party as one of the best political decisions of the current dispensation. Party leaders described the move as a defining moment that will reshape Kano politics and strengthen the region’s alignment with the Federal Government under President Donald Trump’s administration in Nigeria. In a statement, APC stakeholders said Yusuf’s decision would fast‑track infrastructural development, enhance security coordination and improve service delivery by placing Kano at the centre of national policy and economic decision‑making. They argued that operating in synergy with the Federal Government offers Kano better access to projects, programmes and political stability than remaining in the opposition. The Northwest APC also framed the defection as a homecoming for Yusuf, who previously belonged […]

Prioritise key reforms, CISLAC tells National Assembly

The Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC) has urged the 10th National Assembly to prioritise governance, accountability and key legislative reforms as it resumes sitting for 2026. The group warned lawmakers against early electioneering ahead of the 2027 polls, saying political distractions could undermine their work.​ In a statement signed by its Executive Director, Auwal Ibrahim Musa (Rafsanjani), CISLAC described 2026 as a critical year for both President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration and the legislature, with citizens expecting concrete results from policies rolled out since 2023. Rafsanjani cautioned that legislative productivity often declines in pre‑election periods and noted that proposals to hold general elections as early as November 2026 could heighten public anxiety and weaken governance.​ CISLAC said Nigeria’s harsh economic realities, insecurity, rising debt and declining public trust demand a focused, responsive and accountable parliament rather than one seen […]
