The 17-year-old won the crown at the 71st Macau Grand Prix on Sunday.
Ugochukwu was born in New York to Oluchi, a Nigerian fashion model mother, and Luca Orlandi, an Italian fashion designer. He represents the US in car racing.

With the victory in Macau, Ugochukwu became the first American driver to win the prestigious event in over 40 years.
Ugochukwu led the race from start to finish for R-ace GP, ahead of Olivier Goethe for MP Motorsport and Noel León for KCMG IXO by Pinnacle Motorsport.

The Nigerian-American will compete in FIA Formula 3 — the third-tier world racing championship — in 2025.
Ugochukwu credited his resilience and his confidence for the victory on the circuit.

“I can’t describe the feeling; of course, I’m super happy. It was quite a tricky race. I was pushing the whole way, but I was confident in the pace – ever since Q2, we’ve been really quick, of course, we won the Quali race as well, but there was still one more thing to do, which was win the main race, and we managed to do it,” the 17-year-old said.
“I can’t thank the R-ace GP team enough. We had a great weekend, and yeah, I’m super happy to finally get the job done.”

Ugochukwu was discovered at an early age as a car racing wunderkind. He started Kart racing, a variant of motorsport, in 2013.

Ugochukwu has been dubbed as the next Lewis Hamilton, the decorated British racer, and was snapped up by McLaren for multi-year contract in 2021.

As the reality of President-elect Donald Trump’s victory begins to settle, LGBTQ+ rights groups and individuals are grappling with the realities of what that means—especially now that he has a GOP-majority Senate to back him on his policies.

Throughout his campaign, Trump showcased an anti-trans rhetoric across his speeches, ads, and written platform policies. One of his advertisements stated that his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, is for “they/them—not you.”

What Trump’s Win Means for LGBTQ+ Rights

As the reality of President-elect Donald Trump’s victory begins to settle, LGBTQ+ rights groups and individuals are grappling with the realities of what that means—especially now that he has a GOP-majority Senate to back him on his policies.

Throughout his campaign, Trump showcased an anti-trans rhetoric across his speeches, ads, and written platform policies. One of his advertisements stated that his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, is for “they/them—not you.”

Republicans spent nearly $215 million on anti-trans ads this election cycle, according to data released by Ad Impact. Trump’s inflammatory words against LGBTQ+ Americans—most notably aimed at trans persons—is not new. In his first term as President, Trump put forth several policies that attempted to repeal protections for LGBTQ+ Americans.

Now that he has won a second term, LGBTQ+ Americans are wondering what policies are most likely to affect their rights once he returns to the White House in January.

On Trump’s official website, he outlines a 20-point platform, his roadmap to “Make America Great Again,” called Agenda 47. There, he states his priorities to roll back LGBTQ+ rights, including his plans to “keep men out of women's sports”—targeting the small number of trans women who choose to join teams that match their gender identity—and “cut federal funding for any school pushing…radical gender ideology.” Beyond that, through his speeches, Trump has laid out his plans to roll back particular President Joe Biden-era discrimination laws and enact new laws targeting especially trans individuals.

TIME reached out to the Trump campaign about its proposed policies and how they might impact the LGBTQ+ community. In response, Trump-Vance transition spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said: “President Trump will serve ALL Americans, even those who did not vote for him in the election. He will unify the country through success.”
Katie Eyer, a professor at Rutgers Law School, emphasizes that Trump’s presidency could lead to more conservative court appointments, and thus difference in how courts interpret cases on the federal level. So, while appeals courts have often been ruling in favor of transgender people fighting discrimination, this may change during a Trump presidency.

“Constitutional law is the backdrop to discriminatory laws,” Eyer tells TIME. “But of course, if you have a court that is unwilling to enforce equality rights vis-à-vis LGBT people, then that backdrop stops being a meaningful one.”

Here are three key areas in which Trump’s presidency could impact LGBTQ+ rights.

A ban on transgender persons in the military
During Trump’s first term in office, he formally instructed the Department of Defense to reverse a 2016 order allowing transgender individuals to serve openly in the military, something he blamed on the cost of gender-affirming surgeries. The policy immediately triggered a slew of lawsuits against the Administration.

The Biden Administration overturned this order in 2021, but experts like Eyer believe that a reinstatement is very likely to happen early on in Trump’s presidency, and a similar slew of lawsuits are bound to follow.

Health care restrictions
In the past few years, there have been a number of state-led initiatives to ban gender-affirming care for transgender and gender nonconforming minors. In August, the Human Rights Campaign reported there were 26 states with a ban or policy against gender-affirming care for minors and that 39% of transgender youth lived in states that have passed bans on gender-affirming care.
Trump has expressed that his Administration would follow the lead of these states, and attempt to halt gender-affirming medical care for adolescents nationwide, particularly by threatening to deny federal funding for hospitals that provide this care. This would make it incredibly hard for youth with gender dysphoria to access what many doctors and psychiatrists consider life-saving care.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has already brought multiple cases to court, challenging these state law bans, and in their press release regarding Trump’s potential plans for LGBTQ+ issues, they have stated they will “continue to litigate this issue in courts across the country should a second Trump Administration further restrict this care.”

According to Tara McKay, co-founder and Director of the Vanderbilt LGBTQ+ Policy Lab, this could also just heighten the issue and lead to more bans on the state level, especially since much health care and policy is decided and implemented by the state level, despite being partially federally funded.
“States have control over health care, so if [Trump] pursues a full federal ban [on gender-affirming care for minors], your progressive states will immediately challenge it, and it will be in court,” McKay says. “I think very similar to the abortion landscape, we will end up with states that are mobilizing protections and states that are becoming incredibly hostile and life threatening for folks who are targeted.” California Governor Gavin Newsom has already called a special session, which he has confirmed is in part due to a desire to protect the LGBTQ+ community upon the news of Trump’s victory.

Trump’s plans will also significantly depend on the outcome of Tennessee’s ban on gender transition care for minors—United States v. Skrmetti—which is about to be decided by the Supreme Court. The ruling could establish a larger precedent not only on transgender medical care but also on broader issues of civil rights, including access to public facilities and participation in sports.

McKay also emphasizes another aspect of health care that is already being affected by Trump’s upcoming return to power: LGBTQ+ mental health. She points to new research in her lab, showing that exposure to negative news and media coverage on LGBTQ+ people and policies increases suicidal ideation among LGBTQ+ teens and young adults. Since the election was called in the early hours of Nov. 6, the Trevor Project has also reported a 700% increase in call volume to its crisis hotline.
According to Imara Jones, an American political journalist and transgender activist, the main question in relation to transgender health is “how are people going to stand up?”

“Are states like New York, states like California, going to push back against some of the administrative rules that are changing?” she says. “How much do groups that say they are trans allies actually stand up and support? How are trans people going to work to form community and form support for people who are going to be hardest hit by these laws?”

Dismantle Title IX protections, education standards, and identification options
Trump has specifically latched onto language against trans women competing in sports. During a rally in Virginia on Nov. 2, Trump said he will “of course keep men out of women’s sports.” His Agenda 47 also states that he will ask Congress to interpret Title IX as prohibiting trans women from participating in women’s sports. He already worked to rollback Title IX protections for LGBTQ+ students in his first term in office.

Biden worked during his term to expand Title IX protections to LGBTQ+ youth, reforming changes from Trump’s first term that narrowed the scope of the 1972 law but sidestepped issues regarding transgender athletes. He has said that on “day one” of his presidency he plans to reverse these Title IX protections. If Trump were to rollback Biden’s expansions which did protect transgender students, he would not need Congress to do so.
According to Simone Chriss, a civil rights attorney and the Director of Transgender Rights Initiative at Southern Legal Counsel, the fear here is not just about transgender athletes, but rather restrictive Title IX definitions of sex and gender that could affect large portions of the LGBTQ+ community.

“I think the overarching goal is redefining sex across the board in a way that excludes transgender people,” Chriss says. “And we're seeing states like Florida redefine sex for purposes of our entire K-20 education code to make sex determined by, you know, reproductive function.”

This dovetails with Trump’s plans referenced to shift funding for schools based on how they teach about gender identity and sexual orientation. In a filmed address in January 2023, Trump vowed to “cut federal funding” to schools that discuss “gender ideology.”

For Chriss, one of the major fears is that Trump could follow Florida’s lead in redefining sex, and that this could affect transgender people’s abilities to access identification services that allow them to utilize their correct gender.

Earlier this year, a memo from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles shared that Florida residents would no longer be allowed to change the listed gender on their driver’s licenses or state ID. If this is expanded federally to passports, Chriss says the ramifications could be devastating for the transgender community.
“Lack of access to identification documents that reflect who you are is something that impacts every interaction a person has, and ability to get employment and housing and all these things,” she says. “Every transgender client I have, if they don't have a passport, or if their passport still says the wrong gender marker or name, I'm like, ‘Update it as fast as you can, because we have till January.’”

A concerned female herbalist tips off the police after two young boys approached him for a money ritual that would make them millionaires overnight.

Two teenagers, Daniel Sunday, 19, from Akwa-Ibom State and 19-year-old Ikponmwosa Ogbebor, from Edo State, were arrested in Oluku, Ovia North-East LGA of the state.

The duo was arrested by operatives of the Edo State Security Vigilante Network following a tip-off by a female herbalist they contacted for money rituals.

The State Coordinator of the network, Col. Kole Oshoriamhe Omomia (Rtd), disclosed that the suspects confessed to the charges.

According to the herbalist, the boys offered to use any part of their bodies to get rich without using someone else.

Gunmen raided Tunga Maji, a suburb of Abuja, early Thursday, abducting an unspecified number of residents, PREMIUM TIMES has learnt.

One resident said at least 20 people were kidnapped after prolonged shooting in the community that lies near Zuba. This figure could not be immediately confirmed.

The police spokesperson for the federal capital territory, Anjugur Manzah, told PREMIUM TIMES he was working on a statement on the incident.

He did not confirm the number of those kidnapped, or whether there were casualties.

A resident of the area who would not be named for security reasons said heavy shooting started in the community at about 12.15a.m. and lasted more than an hour.

He said members of the local vigilante group were overwhelmed.

"We didn't sleep throughout the night. It's this morning that the vigilantes told us about 20 people were abducted," he said.

The attack is coming days after reports suggested that members of the extremist group, Boko Haram, had infiltrated the federal capital.

More details later.

Hi everyone,
Am really confused on what to do right now and I need advice.

I and my ex broke up six months ago...I broke up with him cuz we are always having misunderstandings...not just that..he can't control himself when angry , he always end up insulting me and calling me names but apologize when he is calm.

The last one that led to our break up was when we went to his friend's birthday party..on getting there,,i met an old time friend(a guy) and we talked for few mins .i went back inside where the party was holding and I met my bf angry already,,we end up quarreling there and he called me a prostitute in front of everyone(that wasn't the first time he would embarrass me in public)...

I was hurt and left there...i started ignoring him and the relationship wasn't going well anymore...i broke up with him afterwards ..i love him but I can't accept his flaws ..we tried to get back together but end up blaming each other for everything.

Six months later, I'm in a relationship with another guy..he has his flaws too but not bad...
Now the problem is I still love my ex and we still talk and chat almost everyday...

He is the first person I call when I need advice and vice versa..my ex family thinks we are still together and always call to check up on me....this is causing problems in my new relationship....

I decided to cut contact with my ex but he is isn't ready to let me go and neither am i..

Just last week my bf broke up with me and told me to call him when am ready to cut off contact with my ex...

Am really confused and I don't know how to do what he asked me...pls anyone with advice on how to forget someone should help me

I need to forget and move on from my ex
....pls advice... Thanks

Pls no one should come here and start telling me I met a good guy and toying with his feelings..

My ex is also a good guy, he just has his flaws...I just need advice...

Thanks
