Ex-Barcelona forward hospitalised after dog bite to ‘genital area’
14 mins ago / autty
Former Barcelona, Getafe and Celta Vigo forward Carles Perez was taken to hospital on Wednesday after suffering significant injuries from a dog attack. The 27-year-old recently joined Aris Salonika on loan from Celta this summer.



Various Greek outlets have covered the story, but Diario AS have now confirmed that Perez is not in critical condition, in spite of several reports claiming as such. They have confirmed information from PrimeSport explaining that Perez was walking his dog when the incident occurred.

Perez was out walking his own dog in the Thermi area of Salonika, when another dog attacked his own. The winger tried to intervene, but upon doing so received a series of injuries from the attacking dog, including severe cuts in the genital area. Perez was taken to hospital in the aftermath, and examined. He has since been returned home after surgery was ruled out, but his recovery will be closely observed in the coming days.

I will like to chronicle this here for the benefit of those who may be confused and also for my own future reference.

On 20th February, 2025, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, Senator representing Kogi Central had a face off with the Senate President; Godswill Akpabio over seating arrangements. Her seat had been reassigned and she would not have it.

Note that reassignment of seats did not affect only her, neither was it an illegal thing to do as it is well within the powers of the Senate President.

She was going to talk from her unofficial seat and the Senate President was not going to hear her, so, the face off. Fellow Senators approached her to quell the heat but she said over her dead body would she go to the reassigned seat. She shouted very well from where she was seated.

Subsequently, the matter was referred to the Ethics Committee of the Senate to hear her and give a verdict.

That was the event of 20th February and all the facts of it which the media and Nigerian populace continued discussing.

But in a twist of events, on 28th February, 2025, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan went on Arise Television and claimed that Akpabio, on December 8th 2023 sexually harassed her by telling her in his Akwa Ibom home that if she liked the interior of one of his rooms, they could always come to have a nice time there.

Of course, sexual harassment, assault and what have you are very sensitive issues. And it is very capable of swaying discussions, allegiance and sympathies. And so, it did! Natasha is a fine girl afterall, and many men may want to have a piece of her.

Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan also called out many Senators for trying to prevail on her to make peace with the Senate President. Mind you, when these Senators called her, we had not heard of the sexual harassment part. So, we cannot say Senators (especially Senator Ireti Kingibe who many are now hating on) were trying to shut her down from the sexual assault allegation. The accused Senators have since then explained to the world that they were just being peacemakers and did not threaten her in anyway, with even the Senate leader calling on the DSS to investigate his call(s) to her.

Going forward, the Ethics Committee invited her to a hearing on her conduct of 20th February, not the sexual harassment allegation. Remember her matter had been referred to the committee before the plot twist of sexual harassment.

But what did Natasha do? She approached the court via an exparte motion to procure an order stopping her 'trial' before the committee. Inspite that the committee had already commenced its work.

She then went ahead to attend plenary on 5th March to officially submit a sexual harassment and abuse of office related petition against the Senate President, which the Senate President promptly referred to the Ethics Committee. Fair enough!

However, this same day was the day she was supposed to appear before the Ethics Committee on the matter of 20th February. But she didn't attend. She only attended plenary and left. Meaning she would not appear before the committee to answer to her own alleged misconduct, but wanted the same committee to 'try' the Senate President on her own allegations.

Going forward, the Committee on Ethics, after having no other choice since Natasha did not attend their sessions, recommended a six months suspension for her (ON HER CONDUCT OF 20TH FEBRUARY). The Senators put this to a voice vote where interestingly unanimously, the suspension was approved.

Of course, public outcry has followed her suspension. She had alleged sexual harassment afterall, a very sensitive allegation capable of swinging sympathy in the favour of the alledger. It worked a great deal and people are no longer talking about her own conduct but the alleged sexual harassment; whether true or not. The discussion is now not about her conduct which her suspension is based upon, but it is now that they suspended her because she alleged the Senate President of sexually harassing her. It was going to go like that anyways.

My opinion:

1. I find a lot of holes in Mrs. Akpoti-Uduaghan's allegations. I do not conveniently believe her because there are a lot of factors and facts in the event and in her past conducts that cast a lot of doubts in my mind. I do not understand how I will not leave this seat would turn to you sexually harassed me in 2023, even when facts abound of you and the Senate President being very cordial for the most part of 2024. It looks very convenient to me. And I have no apologies for this. I may not be able to say 100% that she is telling lies because one should leave some space for a little doubt but to my mind, this is not a regular or original case where a woman would spontaneously cry out about sexual harassment. Hers had to be conveniently wrapped in politics, ego, and emotions. I'm sorry, I find it very hard to be convinced.

2. In courts of law too, when deciding on an accused person's case, the Judge has the right to look into his/her past conduct. Mrs. Akpoti-Uduaghan had once alleged Reno Omokri of a similar thing which turned out to be very false and upon which she has never uttered a word of apology till today. Same her had once written a very damaging letter about her now loving husband accusing him of battery, assault, foeticide amongst many other offences, when it looked like that one was not going to marry her. Same husband that is now the apple of her eye today. It presents her to me as a very combative person who can fight anyhow.

My suggestion is that if Mrs. Akpoti-Uduaghan would cooperate, her allegations should be thoroughly investigated. Sexual offences related allegations are grave and should not be swept under the carpet. The Senate President is a male politician afterall and anything is possible, especially as he too was once so alleged (although, unproved unlike Natasha's that was disproved by Reno).

What I would not accept is to fully accept Natasha's story as the gospel without giving any room to the possibility of Akpabio's innocence as we now are seeing it, inspite of all the pointers to the fact that Natasha may be lying.

I want to categorically state that I am not one of those women that support women blindly even when there are a lot of holes. I am not one of the women that want men to walk on eggshells because of our sexuality. If I rise today and say any of the men I have worked closely with sexually harassed me, everyone will believe even when I have no proof and I am just being vindictive. I don't want that. Women's lives matter, men's do too. I am not a woman to be blackmailed into causes that may be false, until we are clear.

I am also that woman that when it truly and genuinely matters and not fueled by politics, ego and personal interest, you can count on me. I will fight your cause as much as is within my powers and access.

Make of the two stances what you would.

Lastly, I would like to mention that if as a Senator amidst 108 others from across different political parties (your own party inclusive), ethnicities, religions and gender who sit with you at the chamber everyday, you cannot find just one to support you, that it is now left to onlookers who don't have access to your day to day conduct at the Senate to think you're the only right one of the 109, I think it is really bothersome.

TROOPS OVERRUN BOKO HARAM/ ISWAP STRONGHOLD IN TIMBUKTU TRIANGLE, RECOVER MRAP, GUN TRUCK, CACHE OF AMMUNITION

Nigerian Army Troops in conjunction with hybrid force and element of Civilian Joint Task Force in an offensive operation conducted on Wednesday 28 February 2024, successfully overran Boko Haram/Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) Terrorists' stronghold in Timbuktu triangle in the Lake Chad Region, recovering a Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle, gun truck mounted with an anti-aircraft gun and a cache of arms and ammunition, after a fierce battle with the insurgents.

During the operation, insurgents attacked own troops with Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED), Mortar, Gun trucks and motorbikes, but fell under the overwhelming superior fire power of the troops, forcing them to abandon their stronghold, armaments and equipment in disarray.

The operation proved to be a major setback to the insurgents, as the gallant troops neutralized three terrorists and recovered one MRAP, one gun truck, one Dushka Machine Gun, one AK 47 Rifle and one locally fabricated gun. Troops also captured one Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) Bomb, 273 rounds of 7.62mm Special ammunition, one Pumping machine, 65 Dushka links, 48 General Purpose Machine Gun links and three motorbikes.

The gallant troops are presently exploiting their success in pursuit of the routed insurgents.

In a separate operation, troops of the Nigerian Army conducted a fighting patrol to criminals' hideouts in Katakpa Village inToto Local Government Area of Nasarawa State. During the operation, troops neutralized one of the criminals and recovered two AK-47 Rifles, one Pump Action semi- automatic rifle, three AK-47 magazines and 90 rounds of 7.62 mm Special ammunition.
.
The Chief of Army Staff has commended the troops for the successful operations and charged them to remain resilient and sustain the momentum of the operations.

All candidates said they were going to remove subsidies. All, except Kwankwaso, said they would float the Naira. There is very little that a candidate would have done differently from Tinubu. The Naira is not losing value because of Tinubu. The Naira is losing value because of our consumption habits. Please fact-check me. Below is what Nigerians were using the subsidised Naira to buy:

$200 million per annum on Brazilian hair that is, in reality, hair sacrificed in Indian, Vietnam and Cambodian temples. $20 million a day on MTN and Airtel. $1.5 billion annually to gamble with foreign sports betting and gambling apps. £25 million on Scotch whiskey. $75 million on champagne.

Even you, if your child is spending his pocket money like this, would you not intervene? If you don't buy made-in-Nigeria, you will protest tire, and the Pound will reach ₦5000.  Unless you:

Drive Innoson or Nord 
Call with Glo 
Build with Dangote and BUA
Eat with Nasco 
Go on dates at Tantalisers and Suya spots
Drink Zobo 
Celebrate with palm wine
Shop at local markets 
Watch Enyimba and Kano Pillars 
See Nollywood movies at Silverbird
Stream Nigerian music 
Wear aso oke, agbada, babanriga, or isi agu

Even if you must insult me, insult me with a Glo line. #GrowNairaBuyNaija is the only way to increase your Naira's purchasing value.
