BuzzFeed

Published by the media entrepreneur, Dr. Marcel Mbamalu, the e-paper offers some of the most up-to-date information on current events and related topics. Sharing its story, the media conglomerate Newstide Publication Limited, which publishes Prime Business Africa said, “After almost decades of hands-on journalism experience across both print and digital media, our founder, Dr. Marcel Mbamalu began noticing a dearth in number of independent media brands reporting socio-economic and development issues in Nigeria– and Africa. Coupled with the continent’s growing consumer interest and demand for online media services, a new business idea was officially launched in June 2021: Newstide Publications Limited.” The story continued: “It was founded on the notion of building a formidable media brand led by industry thought-leaders, providing cutting-edge perspectives and solutions that compete with global standards.” Concluding, the company tipped: “Today, the company has succeeded in winning investor support, building strong partnerships, creating innovative brands, and delivering meaningful results for its clientele.”

Victor Osimhen suffered a horrific facial injury during Napoli's 3-2 defeat to Inter Milan. His surgeon revealed just how complex the Nigerian forward's predicament was.

Dr. Gianpaolo Tartaro made clear that it was no ordinary head injury, with the player having fractured a cheekbone and eye socket as a result of the air collision with Inter Milan's Milan Skriniar.

"He had a series of fractures, it was as if his head had ended up under a press. [Surgery] took three hours, we had to cut him in three places on his face," Tartaro said in an interview with Il Corriere dello Sport.

"We have to now look at a special mask for his case. It is not something banal, there is a nerve there, it is all very difficult. We will see how his situation evolves.


"The eye came out of its socket. It is not simple at all, in fact it is very delicate due to the crushing of the socket, due to the curving of the malar bone [which is] practically destroyed.

Tartaro also confirmed that Osimhen would be unable to attend the African Cup of Nations in January, as he could have to undergo surgery once again.

A lot of support messages have been pouring for Osimhen from Inter Milan and Super Eagles fans.
