The referee who officiated that final is an unbiased referee.

It hit the hand of the Nigerian player and appeared to be an obvious penalty, so she blew the whistle. But went to check for possible errors.

1. The distance between the Moroccan player who last hit the ball and the Nigerian player whose hand made contact with the ball is about a yard. its too close. When the distance is too close, it is assumed that there was nothing the Nigerian player could've done to avoid the contact and it could be foul-play from the Moroccan player Maybe she deliberately targeted the arm of the Nigerian player.

2. The Nigerian players arm was in a natural position.

You don't know the technicalities of football yet. Don't display your ignorance sir.
Once a player's hand is in the same longitudinal line as their body (that is, not outstretched) a penalty can never be awarded no matter how many times the ball hits that hand. The hand in that position is assumed to be part of the body itself and thus in a natural position.

Chief Benjamin Afagu Ekwealor, a respecte elder statesman and former Speaker of the old Anambra State House of Assembly, has passed away.

He died on the evening of Saturday, July 26, 2025, at his country home in Nzam, Anambra West Local Government Area. He was 89 years old.

The news of his passing was announced by his son, Mr. Chuba Ekwealor, on behalf of the family.

Chief Ekwealor was a man of many callings, a renowned teacher, legal practitioner, community leader, politician, and administrator.

After a successful career in education, he retired as a school principal in 1977 and soon heeded the call of his people to serve in public office at the dawn of Nigeria’s Second Republic.

He became a prominent member of the National Party of Nigeria (NPN) in the old Anambra State and was elected into the State House of Assembly in 1979, which then covered the present-day Anambra, Enugu, and Ebonyi States.

He was re-elected in 1983 and subsequently became Speaker of the House, playing a central role in shaping legislative governance in the region.

In 1998, Chief Ekwealor was appointed to the Anambra State Judicial Service Commission, where he represented the Bar. He served in that capacity for nearly a decade, further demonstrating his commitment to public service and the rule of law.

A man of integrity and deep community roots, Chief Ekwealor is remembered for his unwavering dedication to justice, education, and the welfare of his people.

He is survived by six children and numerous grandchildren. The family noted that arrangements for his final burial rites will be announced in due course.

How was it a penalty? Where else do you expect the hands of a player jumping to be?

Impose or it aligned with the decisions of the Ogun stakeholders?

Go back to what you are responding to, this time, read slowly

There is no state in South West where president Tinubu has imposed a governor currently. Not even DA in Ogun state as that support just aligned with the decisions of the Ogun stakeholders

helinues:
Paid article. President Tinubu is not from Ogun state..

Or are you people saying president Tinubu is going to impose a candidate on Ogun people?

The original preliminary reports say engines might have been starved of fuel shortly after take off. No pilot was mentioned as the cause. Besides, if the captain was suicidal enough to turned off the fuel switch, First Officer has an independent switch(es) he/she can turn on to supply the fuel and keep the flight flying. Investigations still ongoing.
