What has Calabar and lagos got to do with issue though?

Both Jim and MC Mbakara are celebrities in their own rights but they're in different fields and based in different states. Jim might not even know who he is as their path may not have crossed before

This stats Na elele! Na haram ball Cabo Verde came to play a draw in this match and it worked for them

He shook hands with you and responded to your greeting, that's fair enough. What else do you want? I'm not even sure if Jim knows him sef. The MC is a Calabar based comedian, is he expecting the Lagos based actor to jump for joy for meeting him? No let Jim Iyke come for you o, his mouth no good o

He does not look blasian one bit, he looks 100% African. His mum's genes didn't even try

What saddens me is how South Africans have played into the hands of white imperiists, the same people that oppressed them for centuries

9ja then and now, no be the same naa.

Zadok Yohanna got scouted last year, from one of the most insecure regions in the country and he's not the only one. It's like his academy has ties with scouts from European clubs, I was very impressed when I saw their Instagram page. Quite a number of young boys from that academy are in different small clubs access Europe. As messed up as the country is at the moment, some people are still finding grace, a lot of people's lives are changing for good. Why not key into the lives of these people instead on focusing on negativity all the time?

Next season is going to be a season of rebuilding for Chelsea, the fans must exercise patience with Alonso

E don dey clear for some people's eyes say these American politicians no send una. You're nothing but a tool for their propaganda. In fact, they're hoping you suffer and die so they can use you for propaganda stat-padding

Duyt1798:
Please where in the north, as some of our relatives who might be interested, are located there.

Kaduna. Search for Ikon Allah footfall academy on Facebook or Instagram

I would have suggested the academy where Yohanna was scouted, they've exported a lot of talents to European leagues but it's located in the north and the boy is way too small to travel that far. Do we even have any football academies in Lagos?

Amovingman:
They should kidnap him right

OP better be careful

Nowayback10:
Hustle and carry your son abroad to go and play ball before they kidnap him for you.

Did anybody kidnap the likes of Osimhen, Akor Adams, Chukwueze, Benjamin Frederick Zadok Yohanna and many others? They're are all products of Nigerian football academies and they were scouted to Europe from grassroot academies. Stop projecting negativity on your country people.

Majority of the Curacao team are Netherlands rejects, same way France rejects are making their way to African countries and Haiti. Very soon, a lot of small countries national teams will be made up of players who couldn't break into the first team of their birth countries especially with this expanded world cup format

This is the wake-up call the military and people on power needs. Nobody is safe, not even them.

He should be relieved of his duties immediately

This is Ai
Nothing you wan tell me

It happened, major news sites carried it. The kits have been recovered and suspects are in custody

If it's because of the multiple sexual assault cases against him, I don't think they're going to grant him entry into the country.

Ghanaian international Thomas Partey denied entry into Canada, to miss opening game against Panama

It's FIFA that was humiliated,
The guy didn't go there to represent himself.

FIFA is a weak organisation

True. FIFA failed woefully in protecting their own, very disgraceful

Nothing wrong with what Davido did

daveP:
Me sef go troll SA well tonight but this disgraceful performance by them only makes me vexed morw at Nigeria allowing this crap to happen. We messed up gaaan. I still maintain we need to raise the standards on how we analyse their games going forward.


How did these guys qualify convincingly over us? Why did we now get ginger when playoff was involved? Mehnnn!!!

It was the bad blood between key players and the inept coach NFF hired that caused this. If we had started the qualifiers with a tactical coach like Eric Chelle, we would have qualified without a doubt.

Mordecai:
The wording of the court order is the problem.

It was ordering the 1st respondent (the father-in-law) to reverse the money from the account of the second respondent (First Bank). It should be vice versa.

I hope you get it clearly. That is why the bank has no obligation to reverse the funds. Secondly, the father-in-law must have moved the funds out and declined the bank's request to reverse it.

If his father-in-law that's a phone call away has not transferred it back to you, know for a certain that he has taken all steps necessary to ensure that he moved out the funds from the account.

Get the court to correct the court order.

The father in-law is late and the account has probably gotten dormant

Ekaka14:
All those of us who predicted lots of cards and even red cards for SA are justified now....I saw them during the warm up and they were acting like they were going for a physical War!

That back 5 formation was a disaster waiting to happen, the squad is made up of mainly defensive players. Maybe their plan is to defend goalless draws at the group stage and smuggle themselves into the next round.

South Africa will leave this world cup with more red cards than goals

jetguy:
omo, south Africa enemies plenty oo 😄😄

Even their neighbours are not supporting them so who are we?

Mehico! Mehico! Mehico!!! 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽



The true sons of the soil🥳💃💃💃

It's about to go down. Mexico boys don't disappoint your fans! Remember you're on home soil, go grab those 3 points! 🥳🥳🇲🇽

Na now day break ? This happened 2/3 days ago

You mean UEFA appointed him the moment he was denied entry to America? Then they waited 3 days before publishing it on their website?

Nice compensation but I don't think it will erase that humiliation of denial of entry and disappointment of not being to officiate on the biggest football stage. Good thing he's still young, there'll be more world cups he can officiate in.

34-year-old Artan has been on the FIFA international list since 2018 and was named CAF Men’s Referee of the Year in 2025.

Following discussions with its sister confederation, Confédération Africaine de Football (CAF), UEFA has today appointed Somali referee Omar Artan to officiate the 2026 UEFA Super Cup, which will take place on 12 August in Salzburg between UEFA Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain and UEFA Europa League winners Aston Villa.

Despite his young age, Artan has established himself as one of the world’s top referees and has been on the FIFA international list since 2018. Among the most notable matches he has officiated is the second leg of the 2025/26 CAF Champions League final. In recognition of his performances, he received the CAF Men’s Referee of the Year Award 2025.

Artan had been included by FIFA in the match officials’ list for the FIFA World Cup 2026 but could not participate as he was not allowed to enter the United States.

The decision to appoint Artan to officiate the UEFA Super Cup match has been made in the framework of the Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) recently signed between UEFA and CAF to encourage cooperation in many areas, including refereeing. UEFA and CAF are united by a shared commitment to developing football at all levels and promoting the core values of unity, equality and non-discrimination.

Aleksander Čeferin, UEFA president, said: “Omar Artan is an excellent young but already experienced referee, who has proven himself at the highest competition level of the Confederation of African Football. Football is made to connect people, and UEFA wants to show its respect to Omar and his outstanding officiating skills, which had earned him such a prestigious nomination. I am grateful to my friend CAF President Patrice Motsepe for supporting enthusiastically our initiative.”

Dr Patrice Motsepe, CAF president, said: “Omar Artan has made Somalia and the entire people of the African Continent, extremely proud. His receipt of the CAF Men’s Referee of the Year Award 2025 and his appointment as a referee of the FIFA World Cup 2026 are a recognition of his world-class refereeing ability and the international respect that he enjoys. I am very thankful to my friend, Aleksander Čeferin for enabling Omar Artan to officiate the UEFA Super Cup 2026 match. This is a great honour for Omar Artan and for African referees and is also an excellent example of football, bringing together and uniting people from Africa and Europe and worldwide.”
