Torh...Laryea’s rising popularity is being linked to his participation in high-profile AFCON matches, where his performances drew attention from football fans across the continent. For many supporters, his presence at the tournament is seen as a source of national pride, highlighting Ghana’s contribution not only through players but also through match officials. Giftimoni: |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJcR01mnXYI A diesel tanker overturned early Monday morning on the Tincan–Liverpool Bridge in Apapa, Lagos, leading to a hazardous situation as residents and passersby rushed to scoop fuel spilling from the vehicle. The incident occurred during the morning rush hour, causing traffic disruption along the busy corridor. Eyewitnesses said that before traffic officials arrived at the scene, dozens of people converged on the bridge with jerrycans and improvised containers to collect the highly combustible diesel, raising serious safety concerns. Videos circulating on social media showed the crowd gathered around the fallen tanker as fuel leaked onto the roadway, despite the obvious risk of fire or explosion. The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) later confirmed that emergency responders had brought the situation under control. In a statement posted on X, the agency said the affected section of the Liverpool Bridge had been reopened after officials of the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service neutralised the spilled fuel. “The road on Liverpool Bridge inward Apapa that was cordoned off has now been reopened after the contents were neutralised by men of the Lagos State Fire Service,” LASTMA said. “Our officials are doing the needful, and traffic is expected to improve while we await the arrival of a tow truck to remove the tanker.” Earlier, LASTMA had advised motorists to plan their movements, noting that fire service personnel and rescue teams were on ground while a counterflow traffic control system was being implemented. Traffic along the corridor was described as extremely slow at the time. The incident has once again drawn attention to the recurring and dangerous practice of fuel scooping in Nigeria. Similar episodes in the past have ended in tragedy. https://voicenews.com.ng/diesel-tanker-overturns-on-apapa-bridge-sparks-dangerous-fuel-scooping/

Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has defended his decision to bring on Samuel Chukwueze late in Nigeria’s AFCON semi-final against Morocco, despite the winger missing his penalty in the decisive shootout. Nigeria were eliminated 4–2 on penalties on Wednesday after a tense goalless draw over 120 minutes, failing to reach the final of the continental tournament. Misses from Chukwueze and Bruno Onyemaechi proved costly as the Atlas Lions progressed. Chukwueze was introduced during extra time specifically for the shootout, a move that sparked widespread criticism from fans on social media after his miss. Speaking at the post-match press conference, Chelle said the decision was based strictly on training performance and statistical analysis. “I brought on Chukwueze for the penalty shootout because we worked extensively on penalties in training,” Chelle explained. “Based on the statistics, the players who took penalties were the best performers during training and warm-ups. That is why they were on the pitch.” The coach stressed that all selected kick-takers had consistently delivered during practice sessions and that the outcome did not invalidate the process behind his choices. Nigeria’s latest shootout heartbreak adds to recent disappointment, having also missed out on qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup after losing 4–3 on penalties to DR Congo in the African playoff final in November 2025. https://voicenews.com.ng/chelle-defends-decision-to-introduce-chukwueze-in-penalty-shootout-loss-to-morocco/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpmZmnAozz0 Nigeria’s vice-captain, Victor Osimhen, says the Super Eagles are fully confident, united, and focused ahead of their Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) semi-final clash against host nation Morocco. Speaking ahead of the crucial encounter, Osimhen dismissed any suggestion that the team is under pressure, stressing that the players view the match as an opportunity rather than a burden. “The Super Eagles are approaching this game with confidence, not fear. For us, this is an opportunity, not a burden,” the Galatasaray forward said. Osimhen acknowledged the high expectations from Nigerian fans but noted that the squad is drawing strength from their unity and belief in one another. “We understand what our people expect from us, and we respect that. But we also believe in each other, and that collective belief is what drives us,” he added. Reflecting on Nigeria’s journey to the semi-finals, Osimhen attributed the team’s success to discipline, resilience, and togetherness. “Our progress in this tournament has been built on hard work, resilience, discipline, and unity. Now our focus is on executing the game plan and giving our best on the pitch,” he said. Nigeria will face Morocco in a high-stakes semi-final with a place in the AFCON final on the line. https://voicenews.com.ng/super-eagles-approaching-morocco-clash-with-confidence-osimhen/

While Jarvis did not directly counter the criticism, she acknowledged that the breakup had prompted self-reflection, including how she engages with her audience. Clips from the interview have since circulated widely on social media, generating mixed reactions from viewers. Giftimoni: |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSM6D9UtJlI Media personality Daniel Regha has stirred conversation online following a blunt remark he made during an interview with social media influencer Jarvis, amid reports of her breakup with fellow content creator, Peller. Speaking during the interview, which focused on the circumstances surrounding the breakup, Regha openly criticised both Jarvis and Peller for what he described as their failure to use their social media platforms meaningfully. “I’ve never seen you and Peller use your platform for something reasonable,” Regha said, a comment that immediately shifted the tone of the discussion. The statement appeared to catch Jarvis off guard, as the interview had largely centred on personal challenges and emotional strain linked to the end of the relationship. Regha’s remark, however, reframed the conversation, drawing attention to the broader influence of digital creators and the responsibilities that come with large online followings. While Jarvis did not directly counter the criticism, she acknowledged that the breakup had prompted self-reflection, including how she engages with her audience. Clips from the interview have since circulated widely on social media, generating mixed reactions from viewers. Some users praised Regha for what they described as a “hard truth,” arguing that influencers should leverage their reach to promote positive causes or meaningful conversations. Others, however, accused him of being unnecessarily harsh and insensitive, especially given the emotional context of the interview. The exchange has reignited debates about influencer culture in Nigeria, particularly questions around accountability, content value, and the impact of online platforms beyond entertainment. https://voicenews.com.ng/ive-never-seen-you-peller-use-your-platform-for-something-reasonable-daniel-regha-tells-jarvis/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXNuNmoiLgY Nigeria’s Super Eagles on Sunday returned to their base in Fez, Morocco, as preparations intensify for their Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 semifinal showdown against hosts Morocco. The team’s arrival came less than 24 hours after a convincing 2–0 victory over Algeria in Saturday’s quarterfinal encounter in Marrakech. A video shared on the Super Eagles’ official X (formerly Twitter) handle showed the players disembarking from a Royal Air Maroc flight under clear skies. Dressed in matching grey puffer jackets and tracksuits, the players were seen carrying personal luggage as they descended the aircraft stairs, appearing relaxed and in high spirits. Star striker Victor Osimhen was also spotted among the squad. In the accompanying post, the team announced: “The Super Eagles return to Fez. A recovery session is scheduled for tonight at the Saardienne Football Complex. #SuperEagles #AFCON2025 #Naija4TheWin.” Osimhen played a decisive role in the quarterfinal win, scoring with a powerful header and providing the assist for Jerome Akor’s goal to eliminate Algeria and send Nigeria into their 16th AFCON semifinal. The Super Eagles will face Morocco at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat on Wednesday, January 14, with kickoff scheduled for 9:00 p.m. local time. https://voicenews.com.ng/super-eagles-return-to-fez-ahead-of-afcon-2025-semifinal-clash-with-morocco/

At the moment, two groups are laying claims to the leadership of the party at the national level following the party’s convention in Ibadan, Oyo State, where the PDP expelled bigwigs like FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and ex-governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose. Giftimoni: |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SdZXyHw50o The chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), South-South, Emmanuel Ogidi, insists that the suspension of FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, ex-governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, and others, stands. Ogidi, the Chairman of the PDP (South-South), said, “So we’re doing the rounds. We have already seen a former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, and a former President, IBB. So, it’s all about seeing those who are important in Nigeria to tell them that we are alive and we’re moving. I know you’re going to ask me about Obi. Yes, we also have plans to see Peter Obi,” Ogidi said on the breakfast show. “Even Atiku Abubakar, as the former vice president of the country, we are going to meet him. You see, PDP is the real face of democracy in Nigeria.” Obi and Atiku were ex-members of the PDP, and they flew the party’s flag as vice presidential and presidential candidates, respectively, in 2019. The former vice president was the PDP’s presidential candidate in the 2023 elections. But Atiku and Obi have joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC). On Tuesday, members of the PDP National Working Committee met with ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, who served as the country’s leader under the party. The group was led by the National Chairman, Tanimu Turaki, and other party chieftains at his Maitama office in Abuja. Turaki told journalists, “We have his assurance that he remains an active, card-carrying member of the PDP and feels obliged to support the party; the PDP has done enough for him, and he will try his best to do more for the party.” He said the former president’s remarks were “very reassuring and encouraging as we prepare for off-season elections in Ekiti and Osun, and the 2027 general elections.” The PDP, the party that ruled Nigeria from 1999 to 2015, has been embroiled in crisis in the wake of the 2023 elections, which it lost to the All Progressives Congress (APC). At the moment, two groups are laying claims to the leadership of the party at the national level following the party’s convention in Ibadan, Oyo State, where the PDP expelled bigwigs like FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and ex-governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose. https://voicenews.com.ng/pdp-south-south-chairman-insists-wike-fayose-suspensions-stand-as-party-reaches-out-to-key-stakeholders/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngSud18C8_o Former presidential candidates Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso are exploring a historic joint presidential ticket under the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to challenge former Vice President Atiku Abubakar for the party’s nomination, as part of a renewed and complex effort to unify Nigeria's opposition ahead of the 2027 elections. Key Points: A joint Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso presidential ticket is being actively considered for the 2027 election. Former President Olusegun Obasanjo is facilitating the proposed alliance. The primary plan is to secure the ADC ticket by challenging Atiku Abubakar directly at the party's primaries. Kwankwaso has reportedly been persuaded to accept the vice-presidential slot on the ticket. Analysts say the ticket would be formidable, combining Obi's southern/youth appeal with Kwankwaso's northern stronghold. A backup plan involves moving to another party if they fail to secure the ADC nomination. The move aims to create a unified opposition front against President Bola Tinubu.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has faulted the Presidency’s handling of public communication, accusing it of prioritising optics over substance at a time Nigerians are grappling with severe economic and security challenges. In a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, Atiku described the Presidency’s defence of President Bola Tinubu’s recent Paris visit as a glaring example of misplaced focus. According to him, Nigerians battling hunger, rising insecurity, business closures, and a crushing cost-of-living crisis were instead treated to official explanations about photographs, camera phones, and a presidential lunch in Paris. He argued that true leadership is demonstrated by decisive action at home, not by public briefings centred on social engagements abroad. Atiku further noted that public skepticism surrounding the Paris photographs did not arise in a vacuum, stressing that trust in public institutions weakens when credibility issues remain unresolved. “When leadership credibility is eroded, doubt becomes inevitable,” the statement said, adding that attacking the media and citizens only deepens public frustration. The former Vice President maintained that Nigeria is facing multiple emergencies that demand urgent attention, warning that excessive focus on public relations narratives risks widening the disconnect between the government and the people. https://voicenews.com.ng/atiku-faults-presidencys-focus-on-optics-amid-nigerias-deepening-crises/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsz1wT7j7Rs Nyesom Wike, minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), says his political career would be ruined if Siminalayi Fubara, governor of Rivers, secures a second term. Speaking during a stakeholders’ meeting in Okrika LGA of Rivers state, Wike said a decision has been made on Fubara’s second term ambition. “We have made a decision as far as Tinubu is concerned. The other one [Fubara] — no way. Because if we make another mistake, then we will go and bury ourselves politically. I will not allow myself to be buried. I will not allow that mistake again,” he said. “So everybody should know we have made a decision.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mw-8asng6uU A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Kenneth Okonkwo, has urged supporters of a former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, to join the party, ahead of the 2027 general elections. Okonkwo said Obidients who had yet to join the ADC were “disObidients”. “When I was in the Labour Party, I said it was a tactical mistake, telling your followers they can join all political parties, and I’m very glad that my brother, Peter Obi, has changed the tactic. “If you listen to his interview on X space, he said all the obidients should go and register as members of the ADC. So if you are an obidient and you’re not in the ADC, sorry, you’re not an obidient, you are a disobidient,” he said on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief on Friday. Okonkwo, who sang praises for the ADC during the interview, said the opposition, as the “vehicle of good people,” had the backing of the South-East.
