Memphis Depay is under investigation in Brazil after using his phone on the substitutes’ bench during a Corinthians match. He is accused of breaking a little-known regulation against unauthorized communication.

Brazil’s Superior Court of Sports Justice has charged Depay under Article 258 for conduct deemed contrary to sporting ethics. Cameras caught him on his mobile after leaving the field early with a thigh injury.

Depay insists he was only contacting his national team’s medical staff. He stayed on the bench to support his team. If found guilty, he could miss between one and six league games, adding pressure on mid-table Corinthians.

As the countdown to the 2027 elections begins, the race to succeed Governor Sanwo-Olu has intensified. Former governor Akinwunmi Ambode is back in the party’s advisory council, while Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat is widely tipped for the APC ticket. Other contenders include Femi Gbajabiamila, Mudashiru Obasa and technocrat Hakeem Muri-Okunola, each backed by influential party figures.

The contest reflects Lagos’s long-standing tradition of continuity under the progressive family since 1999. But internal debates over zoning among the West, Central and East senatorial districts, party democracy and the power of kingmakers have resurfaced. Observers say zoning could swing the ticket to a Lagos West candidate or favour a return to East if pragmatism prevails.

Opposition parties remain fragmented despite earlier inroads, leaving the APC’s internal decision as the key determinant. As speculation grows around endorsements from the Governor’s Advisory Council and federal leadership, analysts agree that unity within the progressive bloc is vital for policy stability and a successful transition.

French legend Jean-Pierre Papin has boldly named Kylian Mbappé the best striker in the history of the France national team.

The former Ballon d’Or winner insisted Mbappé has already outshone icons like Thierry Henry and Olivier Giroud. He pointed to Mbappé’s explosive pace, clinical finishing, and early milestones as clear evidence.

With 56 goals in 95 appearances, Mbappé sits just one strike shy of Olivier Giroud’s all-time record. Papin believes those numbers, combined with a World Cup triumph, will cement Mbappé’s legacy.

As the Real Madrid forward continues to break records for Les Bleus, Papin’s bold verdict only adds fuel to the debate over who truly ranks as France’s finest.

This 11-minute documentary uncovers secret transfers, hidden betrayals, and the psychological weight that almost pushed a superstar to quit. Was Higuaín really the saboteur, or simply the victim of football’s greatest jinx? Share your thoughts below.

Popular influencer Peller has come under fire after describing Yoruba people as “premium and threatening” beggars during a recent live broadcast.

In the widely shared clip, the self-identified Yoruba man claimed that fellow members of his ethnic group often make bold financial demands, saying, “I’m a Yoruba boy, but Yoruba people beg a lot. Their begging is premium and threatening—telling you to give them one million naira or more.”

The remarks quickly went viral, drawing both laughs and sharp criticism. Critics warn that such sweeping generalisations risk fuelling division and tarnishing cultural values. The episode underscores the impact public figures wield in shaping narratives within Nigeria’s diverse online space.

Nigeria’s power companies are losing their biggest customers. Restaurants, hotels, factories and other high-consumption businesses are going off-grid. Without enough paying customers, generation and distribution become economically unviable.

Claims and counterclaims fly between the federal government and power producers over unpaid invoices. Producers can’t pay gas suppliers. The existing system—where all generation must feed the grid before resale—encourages fraud and stalls investment.

A viable alternative is large-scale investment in hydro, solar and wind. With fewer heavy consumers on the main grid, wasted capacity and unmetered usage will persist. Local and state governments can step in, replicating community-scale models already working in places like Aba and Redemption Camp.

Even ten hours of reliable, clean power daily would transform businesses and communities. The key is aggressive public and private collaboration to fund and manage off-grid renewable solutions.

Peter Okoye has made it clear that Psquare will never reunite. When a fan asked on Twitter, "Can we just have Psquare back?", he replied, "Not with me! Done and dusted." He urged followers to respect his choice and reminded them that change is constant.

The singer also dismissed suggestions that their split led to musical setbacks. He told one critic to "learn to respect people’s decisions" and pointed out that "nothing lasts forever." Earlier this year, he announced that Psquare no longer exists, calling himself "his own Square" while dubbing Jude and Paul the "new Psquare."

Peter has since spoken about the toll of family conflict. He advised against staying silent under family pressure and shared lessons for his younger self on trust, self-belief, and loyalty.

Tensions peaked in 2023 over alleged fund diversions by their elder brother Jude. Paul later claimed that Peter had him and Jude arrested by the EFCC—a claim Peter denies, accusing Paul of teaming with Jude to sideline him.

Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface revealed a candid conversation with his friend and former teammate Jeremie Frimpong before moving to Bayer Leverkusen.

Speaking on a popular football podcast, Boniface explained that he called Frimpong for advice. The Dutch defender warned him bluntly, “Don’t come; we are jogodo, we are sh*t,” after Leverkusen’s disappointing previous season.

Despite the harsh verdict, Boniface pressed ahead with the transfer. He went on to win the Bundesliga Rookie of the Season and inspired Leverkusen to an unbeaten 51-match run and a historic league and cup double.

Since then, Frimpong has joined Liverpool, while Boniface has stayed at Leverkusen, overcoming injuries and a brief loan spell at Werder Bremen.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has defended his 2021 choice to let Lionel Messi leave on a free transfer. He says the move was critical to rescue the club from financial ruin.

Laporta calls it a deliberate generational shift. He points to the club’s improving finances and revived squad as proof the decision worked.

After two seasons at Paris Saint-Germain and a 2023 switch to Inter Miami, Messi remains Barça’s biggest legend. Laporta plans a testimonial match and a statue at the revamped stadium to honour him.

“Barça is above players, presidents, and coaches,” Laporta insisted. “Messi will always have a home here.”

In April 2024, the federal government raised Band A electricity tariffs from about ₦68 to ₦225 per kilowatt hour. The aim was to guarantee at least 20 hours of daily supply and shore up a debt-ridden sector. But two years on, those promises remain unfulfilled.

Across Abuja, Kano, Ilorin and other cities, Band A customers endure just 5–10 hours of power. Many businesses now rely heavily on costly diesel generators. Some have even cut staff to stay afloat.

Energy experts say customers should receive refunds or credits when supply falls short. They argue that automatic downgrades without compensation simply punish consumers. The regulator’s rules provide for refunds, but implementation is weak.

The Ministry of Power says maintenance on a major gas pipeline will wrap up in two weeks. It pledges gradual restoration of generation capacity and improved supply for all Band A customers.

A Catholic priest has publicly challenged Omega Power Ministries founder Pastor Chibuzor Gift Chinyere over his proposal to marry off an adopted autistic son to curb his sexual urges. The priest described the idea as a violation of human dignity and a distortion of the Sacrament of Marriage.

Father Prince Chidi Philip urged that marriage is a sacred covenant rooted in love, responsibility and mutual consent—not a tool for managing mental health or biological impulses. He highlighted the need for proper training, professional collaboration and therapeutic approaches such as behavioural therapy and sexual rehabilitation.

The priest called on Pastor Chinyere to protect and accompany the young man with humility and care. He warned against exploiting vulnerability for convenience and appealed for ethical, compassionate solutions rather than impulsive experiments.

Barth Nnaji, founder of Geometric Power and former minister of power, has called on the Tinubu administration to restore suspended power purchase agreements between the Federal Government and electricity firms. He warns that non-payment of the N6.8 trillion owed to generation companies and over N200 billion owed to DisCos has worsened Nigeria’s power crisis.

Nnaji recommends allowing distribution companies to charge cost-reflective tariffs and investing in a 765 KV national super-grid with decentralized operations to prevent nationwide blackouts. He also urges development of Nigeria’s 210 trillion cubic feet of natural gas infrastructure, noting that thermal plants supply 75 percent of the country’s electricity.

Highlighting stagnant growth in generation capacity, Nnaji points out that no major power station has been built in the last 12 years except the Azura-Edo and Geometric plants. He stresses the need for financial instruments like World Bank-backed guarantees to attract new investors and cautions that state governments lack the resources to underwrite large-scale power projects.

I believe GMO seeds and foods pose a serious risk to our agriculture. These technologies could weaken the natural quality of our crops and lock farmers into paying royalties forever.

I’m concerned that under the leadership of the former Agriculture Minister, Nigeria is embracing GMOs while many European countries reject them. It feels like Western interests are pushing an agenda that compromises local food security.

We need to question the patent arrangements behind GMO technology. Nigerians should stay informed and protect our farmers from dependency on foreign corporations.

Iran’s regime learned a harsh lesson when a deep underground missile facility aired on state TV was obliterated hours later in a joint US-Israel strike.

Since February 28, 2026, US and Israeli forces have struck Iran’s missile production sites, launchers and hardened bunkers across Tehran and Isfahan with precision bunker-busters.

The campaign has shredded air defenses, wrecked production lines and degraded Iran’s ability to rain missiles on its neighbors.

The message is clear: flaunt your weapons on TV, and they may vanish overnight.

Former England defender Nicky Butt believes Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has the qualities to spearhead Manchester United’s attack. He highlighted Osimhen’s movement, work rate and aerial prowess as key strengths.

Butt said current forward Benjamin Sesko shows promise but lacks the experience to carry United’s frontline alone, especially in Champions League fixtures. He told a UK newspaper that the Red Devils need a proven No.9 to deliver consistently.
