Third goal! What a connection from the Igbo goal keeper to another Igbo girl in the team. Why is it only Igbos that are scoring for the team? Don't we have girls from other tribes in Nigeria playing in the Nigerian side?

You are part of the problems we have in this country change please

Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue is the vice‑president of Equatorial Guinea. He faced a court case in France about a big apartment in Paris. French judges found he used public money wrongly. In 2017, they gave him a three‑year suspended sentence and fined him €30 million. They also took his luxurious apartment on Avenue Foch, with many rooms and fancy features. Obiang appealed, but France’s highest court upheld the decision in 2021. Equatorial Guinea then asked the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to stop France from selling the apartment. The country said France had not answered their request under the UN anti‑corruption rules. Now the ICJ must decide if France broke its promise. The case shows how governments struggle over ill‑gotten money and justice.

Surya Bonaly is a French figure skater. She is famous for being very strong, graceful, and for doing amazing moves like backflips on ice, which most skaters can't do.

In 1994, Surya competed in the Winter Olympics. She skated well, but she did not win a medal. Many people thought she should have scored higher because her performance was powerful and difficult. But the judges gave better scores to other skaters who had a more traditional style.

Surya was often judged unfairly during her career. Some people believe this was because she was different she was Black, and figure skating is a mostly white sport. She also had her own unique style and didn’t always follow the usual rules of skating.

The most famous moment happened a year later, in 1995, at the World Championships. Surya finished second and won the silver medal. But she believed she deserved the gold. She was very upset.

When it was time to go on the podium to receive her medal, Surya stepped up but then refused to smile. She took off her silver medal, didn’t stand fully on the podium, and showed she was not happy. This shocked many people, but it was her way of saying, “This is not fair.”

Surya’s actions were bold. She later said she wanted to show the world that she was not treated equally. Her protest became famous. Even though she never won Olympic gold, many people remember her as a strong and brave skater who stood up for herself.

Do you know that Miriam Makeba, affectionately known as "Mama Africa," was not just a remarkable singer but also a pioneering civil rights activist whose influence transcended both music and social justice? Born on March 4, 1932, in Johannesburg, South Africa, Makeba emerged as a powerful voice against apartheid and a celebrated artist whose music resonated globally.

Makeba’s journey began in the vibrant yet tumultuous landscape of Johannesburg, where she was born to a Swazi mother and a Xhosa father. Her early life was marked by the cultural richness of South Africa, but also by the harsh realities of racial segregation. Despite these challenges, her musical talents blossomed. She joined various groups as a teenager, and her distinctive voice quickly set her apart.

In the 1950s, Makeba’s music began to attract attention. She first gained recognition as a member of the Manhattan Brothers and then as a part of the Skylarks, a group known for its fusion of traditional South African sounds with jazz and pop. Her unique style, which blended the rhythmic complexity of traditional African music with the smoothness of jazz and the catchiness of pop, started to catch the attention of audiences beyond South Africa's borders.

Makeba’s breakthrough came in 1959 with the release of her debut album, which featured her famous song "Pata Pata." The song, characterized by its infectious beat and lively rhythm, became an international hit and brought her global fame. Its success marked the beginning of her international career, establishing her as a significant figure in world music. "Pata Pata" was more than just a popular tune; it was a reflection of Makeba's deep connection to her cultural roots and her ability to bridge cultural gaps through music.

However, Makeba’s success was not confined to music alone. She used her growing platform to become an outspoken critic of apartheid, the brutal system of racial segregation that was deeply entrenched in South Africa. In 1960, after the Sharpeville massacre—a tragic event in which police opened fire on unarmed black protesters—Makeba's activism took on a more prominent role. Her outspoken opposition to apartheid drew international attention and led to her becoming a symbol of resistance against racial injustice.

Her activism led to significant personal sacrifices. In 1960, after the South African government issued a banning order against her, Makeba left South Africa, never to return for over three decades. She continued to speak out against apartheid from abroad, using her performances and public appearances to highlight the plight of her countrymen. Her exile, though painful, allowed her to gain support from the international community and raise awareness about the struggles faced by those living under apartheid.

During her time in exile, Makeba settled in the United States and Europe. She collaborated with numerous prominent musicians, including Harry Belafonte and Paul Simon, further expanding her reach and influence. Her partnership with Belafonte was particularly notable; together, they released "An Evening with Belafonte/Makeba," a live album that captured the energy and passion of their performances and emphasized their shared commitment to social justice.

In the 1960s and 1970s, Makeba continued to build her international career while remaining an ardent advocate for civil rights. Her music became a powerful tool for activism, combining traditional African elements with contemporary sounds to address issues of race, inequality, and human rights. She also received numerous accolades and honors in recognition of her contributions to music and her courage in standing up against oppression.

Despite her global success, Makeba's life was not without personal challenges. She faced considerable difficulties in her relationships and had to navigate the complexities of being a prominent African woman in a predominantly Western entertainment industry. Her marriages, particularly to South African trumpeter Hugh Masekela and American civil rights activist Stokely Carmichael, were highly publicized and brought both attention and scrutiny.

In the 1980s, Makeba's work continued to evolve. She returned to South Africa in 1990, following the release of Nelson Mandela from prison and the beginning of the dismantling of apartheid. Her return was a historic moment, symbolizing the triumph of resilience and hope over adversity. Makeba’s homecoming was met with celebration, reflecting the profound impact she had had on her country’s struggle for freedom.

Throughout her career, Makeba remained a committed advocate for human rights. Her music, rich with the sounds of South Africa, was imbued with messages of resistance and hope. Her voice was not just an instrument of entertainment but also a vehicle for change, bridging the gap between African culture and global audiences while addressing universal issues of justice and equality.follow this link to my page on Facebook for more content like this

Some oil marketers are beginning to change the logo of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited on their filling stations, as the dealers dump the franchise deals with NNPCL due to the stiff competition in the prices of refined products in the downstream arm of the oil sector.

It was gathered that many others are considering the move, particularly those in Lagos, following the recent crash in the prices of refined products by the $20bn Lekki-based Dangote Petroleum Refinery.

Already some dealers that used to have the NNPCL logo on their filling stations located around Wawa on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway, as well as at Ibafo, still along the busy road, have dropped the name of the national oil firm.

Independent marketers are seeking to achieve adequate product off-take at a cheaper rate, as the deregulation of the downstream oil sector has led to intense competition.

Many filling stations formerly affiliated with the national oil company are now being renamed and rebranded under the ownership of private oil marketers, particularly in Lagos and surrounding states.

It was also learned that more marketers may relinquish their licences with NNPCL due to the reduced loading costs of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) refined by the Dangote refinery, which is currently lower than the landing cost of imported petrol.

The PUNCH reports that a petrol price war was reignited in the sector recently after the Dangote Petroleum Refinery slashed its loading costs to N890 from N950 per litre.

Dealers explained that the rebranding of filling stations is a tactic by the marketers to pick up cheaper products from the Dangote refinery, and other import sources at a cheaper rate.

This assertion was confirmed by the National Publicity Secretary of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, Chinedu Ukadike, during an exclusive interview on Tuesday.

A franchise licence in the oil sector refers to an official authorisation granted to an individual or company to operate a business or distribute products under an established brand or system within the oil industry.

This typically involves a contractual agreement that allows the franchisee to utilise the franchisor’s brand, resources, and operational model in exchange for fees or a percentage of revenue.

Ukadike explained that marketers have adopted this new approach because the NNPCL is no longer the exclusive importer and distributor of refined petroleum products.

He said, “Yes, that observation is correct. Some marketers are changing and rebranding. Remember that there was a time NNPCL was the sole distributor and importer of petrol. So, marketers then gave their filling stations as franchises so that they could get products.

“So marketers normally give their companies to NNPCL to be able to have petroleum products. But now that the game has changed, you can even see some marketers now changing to MRS filling stations. Because MRS is now selling cheaper than any other station.

“People want where they want to get turnover and return on investment. If you are carrying Total on as a brand name and Total is not giving you petrol products, what is the sense of carrying the name? You have to remove it and get a better alternative. Most of those filling stations (that are changing name), NNPC don’t own them. NNPC only collected them on the franchise.”

Attempts to contact the NNPCL spokesperson, Femi Soneye, for an explanation of why marketers are switching from the company’s brand, proved unsuccessful, as he did not reply to messages sent to his phone.

An oil and gas expert, Olatide Jeremiah, who confirmed the arrangement said marketers used the franchise licence as a method to secure cheaper products from NNPCL which was still importing at the time.

He confirmed that the avenue that provided more revenue was disrupted by the emergence of the Dangote refinery and the inability of the national oil firm to secure an agreement to fix petrol prices with the Lekki-based plant.

Jeremiah, who is the Chief Executive Officer of petroleumprice.ng noted, “Yes, it’s true. It all happened after the subsidy was removed but before the emergence of the Dangote refinery.”

He further narrated, “After the removal and petrol price went up, NNPCL was asked to manage the price and should not be allowed to keep skyrocketing. So NNPCL and the majors were pegging the price at N500 but the landing cost was above the amount. This affected importers and independent marketers who imported fuel. For instance, Petrocam imported and claimed that its landing cost was N700 but the majors and NNPCL were selling at N500 per litre. That is a difference of N200 and was a huge loss.

“So actually NNPCL was subsidising internally and when independent marketers noticed this and were losing sales, they began applying for NNPCL franchise lincence. The marketers paid millions to get the franchise licence because they were loading from NNPCL depot at a cheaper rate.

“NNPCL was the one dictating price for all the majors at that time because of public outcry and they used to buy, till Dangote came in. They also wanted to do the same thing with Dangote to fix the price but the arrangement didn’t work because Dangote wanted to sell to everyone. Its price was better and independent marketers could buy directly.

“The franchise licence was also an avenue to make more profit because some marketers got licence for one of their stations but would transport products to other stations and sell at a higher price to Nigerians. The slot of getting fuel tankers at that time was twice in a month.”

The Chairman of PETROAN in Lagos State, Akinola Ogunyolemi, said most of the outlets are not originally owned by the NNPC.

He said the removal of the NNPCL symbol might mean the end of an agreement or a breach of it by either party.

“These are individual outlets. What they do is that, if an NNPCL contract expires and they are not ready to move forward with them or if they get a juicy offer, they will remove the NNPCL logo. They will rebrand again and put other people’s names. That could be the reason.

“Most of the outlets are not NNPCL-owned. You can have your filling station built and put NNPCL there, with your contract to them. Maybe they could not meet up with your agreement with them, (because they too also have some breach of contract sometimes), you might decide to go and give the station to Mobil or Total. It is yours,” Ogunyolemi said.

Experts also noted that more licenses may still be revoked because the price of imported petrol now costs more than products obtained from the Dangote refinery.

According to the latest data released by the Major Energies Marketers Association, the on-spot cost of landing PMS has reached N910.14 per litre at the ASPM and N910.52 at the NPSC depot.

The document also stated the 30-day average cost of petrol surged to N939.03 per litre.

Meanwhile, fresh details emerged regarding the behind-the-scenes developments that contributed to the reduction in the ex-gantry loading cost of Premium Motor Spirit, commonly known as petrol, sourced from the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and a possible reduced retail cost for Nigerians.

The refinery in a statement signed by Group Chief Branding and Communications Officer, Anthony Chiejina, said the strategic adjustment is a direct response to the positive outlook within the global energy and gas markets, as well as the recent reduction in international crude oil prices.

“Dangote Petroleum Refinery has reduced the ex-depot (gantry) price of Premium Motor Spirit, commonly known as petrol, from N950 to N890, effective from Saturday, 1st February 2025.

“This strategic adjustment is a direct response to the positive outlook within the global energy and gas markets, as well as the recent reduction in international crude oil prices,” the statement read.

It noted that the price revision reflects the ongoing fluctuations in global crude oil markets, as highlighted in the refinery’s statement on 19th January, when a modest increase was implemented due to the previously rising international crude oil prices.



While this assertion is totally accurate, marketers in the downstream sector informed our correspondent that a pricing competition between Dangote, the NNPCL and some marketers contributed to the decision to reduce its petrol costs.

This fresh pricing war started about a week ago after the NNPCL and some major marketers secured an alternative source to import refined products at a cheaper landing cost compared to Dangote’s price.

Recall that The PUNCH reported last Friday that the national oil firm and other marketers in the downstream oil sector imported more than 633 million litres of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) and Automotive Gas Oil (diesel) in January 2025 despite the production of these commodities domestically.

A marketer said, “We had noticed for some weeks that Dangote and private depot prices were at the same level unlike before when there was a N20 difference. So we found out that some people are sourcing cheaper products outside the country and that’s why they are going head-on with Dangote. Those depots didn’t want to get out of business and that was why they had to do it to be more competitive.”

Another source who confirmed the development said the concerns expressed by bulk buyers operating at a loss of N31.02 per litre or a total loss of N310,159,109.59 made Dangote senior executives hold a meeting.

The source noted, however, that despite the reduction in output, the refinery continues to maintain a steady profit, demonstrating its ability to adapt and remain financially successful.

He said, “The price reduction from Dangote was somehow inevitable because there were serious complaints and concerns from their buyers. This made Dangote senior executives to meet on Friday between 4 and 5 pm to discuss. What has happened is basically the effect of deregulation in the downstream sector and Nigerians should expect more pricing war between competitors in the sector.”

The competition between humans and robots is heating up, and this April, China is taking it to the track. In a groundbreaking event, the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area, known as E-Town, is hosting a half-marathon where humans will race against humanoid robots.

This unique race marks the world’s first direct athletic competition between bipedal robots and people. Let’s explore what makes this event so exciting and what it means for the future of robotics and sports.

A Footrace Unlike Any Other

The half-marathon will see 12,000 human participants alongside robots developed by more than 20 companies. Covering a distance of approximately 13 miles, the robotic competitors must meet strict criteria:

No Wheels:

All robots must move on two legs.
Humanoid Form: Robots must be between 1.5 and 6.5 feet tall and have a humanoid structure capable of bipedal walking or running.
This isn’t just about speed. It’s a test of technological innovation and engineering prowess.

Meet the Star:

Tiangong the Running Robot
One of the confirmed robot participants is Tiangong, a bipedal humanoid that’s already made headlines.

Last year, Tiangong joined the Beijing Yizhuang half-marathon, running a modest 100 meters. While it wasn’t fast, its ability to complete the course earned it a medal – albeit a symbolic one.

By April, Tiangong is expected to reach speeds of up to 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) per hour. This improvement highlights the rapid advancements in robotics, especially in mimicking human-like movements.

Humanoid Robots vs. Robodogs: What’s the Difference?
Although this event focuses on bipedal robots, it’s worth noting that robotic dogs like RAIBO2 are also making waves in sports. RAIBO2 competed in a full marathon in South Korea last year, completing the 26.2 miles in just over four hours.

While impressive, this is far slower than human marathon winners, who typically finish in around 2.5 hours.

However, RAIBO2’s success illustrates how versatile robots are becoming. From humanoids to quadrupeds, the variety of robotic forms opens the door to diverse applications beyond racing.

A Glimpse Into the Future
This event is more than a race – it’s a stepping stone toward a future where robots and humans collaborate in dynamic ways. Later this year, Beijing will host an all-robot sporting event featuring track and field races, football matches, and skill-based challenges.

These competitions showcase how robotics is evolving to tackle complex, real-world tasks.

Why Should You Care?

This isn’t just a niche tech event; it’s a window into how far robotics has come. Imagine robots assisting in daily tasks, aiding in disaster recovery, or even competing in professional sports leagues.

Events like this highlight the potential – and limitations – of current technology while inspiring engineers to push boundaries.

How Fast Can Robots Really Run?

While humans have dominated running for centuries, robots are quickly catching up. The robots in this race won’t match elite human runners yet, but their progress is staggering. Just a decade ago, the idea of a bipedal robot running a half-marathon was purely science fiction.

With each race, we’ll see advancements in robot speed, endurance, and agility. Who knows? The next Olympic Games might feature a human-robot relay race.

The Human Element in Robotics

While robots are impressive, let’s not forget the human ingenuity behind their creation. These machines represent years of research, trial, and error.

Competitions like this one highlight the collaborative relationship between humans and technology, showcasing what’s possible when creativity meets engineering.

Key Takeaways

The world’s first human vs. robot half-marathon takes place in Beijing this April.
Robots must walk or run on two legs and meet strict humanoid criteria.
Tiangong, a bipedal robot, is a star contender, expected to reach speeds of 6.2 miles per hour.
The event signals a future where robots play increasingly dynamic roles in society.
Table: Human vs. Robot – How They Compare in Racing
Category Humans Robots
Speed Up to 13 mph (elite runners) Up to 6.2 mph (Tiangong)
Endurance Can sustain long distances Improving but still limited
Innovation Natural evolution Cutting-edge engineering
Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, a sports fan, or just curious about the future, this race is one to watch. It’s not just about who crosses the finish line first; it’s about exploring the exciting possibilities that arise when technology meets human ambition

Russians Offered One Million Rubles Per Child Amid Sinking Birth Rate


What's New

Russians in the Nizhny Novgorod Oblast receive one million rubles (about $10,000) for the birth of each child they have, starting from next year, amid the country's sinking birth rate.

Governor Gleb Nikitin's announcement was reported in the Institute for the Study of War (ISW)'s Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment on Tuesday.

Newsweek has contacted the authority for the city of Nizhny Novgorod, 270 miles east of Moscow, via email, for comment.

Why It Matters

Russia's current birth rate is 1.5 children per woman, and a birth rate of 2.1 children per woman is needed to sustain a population. Moscow's birth rate, in combination with heavy casualties from the war with Ukraine, has resulted in a population decline, and Russia's birth rate hit a new 25-year low in September.

What To Know

Governor Nikitin said the maternity capital payment made for the first and second child would come from federal funds, while the payment made for the third and fourth child would come from regional funds, the ISW reports. Terms and conditions for claimants were not clear.

Russia has already looked at opening a "ministry of sex" to combat the country's declining birth rate and has come up with a program in which female students aged 18 to 23 could be paid for having a child.


Vladimir Putin has nominated Federation Council chairwoman Valentina Matvienko to lead the new council, which follows a Strategy of Action for family and demographic policy.

The Strategy of Action includes goals such as "protecting, supporting, and defending the family as the fundamental basis of Russian society," and "strengthening the institution of family and marriage as a union between a man and a woman based on the preservation and promotion of traditional family values."

Russian Health Minister Yevgeny Shestopalov has encouraged the population to "engage in procreation on breaks" while at work. "Being very busy at work is not a valid reason, but a lame excuse [for not starting a family]," he said. "You can engage in procreation during breaks, because life flies by too quickly."

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has described the demographic decline as a "huge challenge" and said that pushing population growth with the new policies will produce a "super strong" country.

What Happens Next

The "Strategy of Action" will be implemented in two stages, from 2025 to 2030, and from 2031 to 2036. It aims to promote "family lifestyle" through media and advertising and provide resources to allow families to have more children.

The new strategy anticipates that the birth rate will increase to 1.6 children per woman by 2030, and 1.8 by 2036. The government also anticipates infant mortality rates will decrease, and life expectancies will lengthen.

Father Josiah Trenham, pastor of St. Andrew Orthodox Church, joins James Poulos to discuss modern-day Christianity in a technologically changing America. As an Orthodox pastor, he gives his thoughts on the Russia-Ukraine conflict and how Orthodox Christianity has changed in Russia since the fall of communism. Similarly, he explains Orthodox history in Israel and Gaza and how the Palestinian conflict has affected both Jews and Christians. How can Christians find anchors in modern Protestant churches when the world around them has turned to war? He argues there is a way to find faith and that America seems to be turning in a positive religious direction.

When I stood my ground all that time that Pedri is a better and far more intelligent midfielder than Bellingham, some EPL boys outside NL came for my opinion treating it like trash or Barca tax but it was said from a standpoint of proper talent IDing.

Not that I don't rate Bellingham but please Pedri is that guy you want running things in your midfield and not an athletic Bellingham who mostly relies on power and running nous plus late runs into the box.

Pedri is the magician CM. Capable of manipulating spaces, orchestrating plays from deep or in advanced roles. Using a perfect mix of brains and brawn. Bellingham is your physical dynamo CM. Always bulldozing his way through as a solution for everything. More brawns than brains.

in today football world Spain===technicality is their greatest asset, that why Pep is destroying the EPL, while The English player are more athlete

Rest on sir,
'YOUR WATCH HAS ENDED".

Sàngódáre Gbádégesin Àjàlá (1948–2021) stands as a towering figure in the world of Nigerian art, celebrated for his innovative work in hand-painted textiles. His artistry, deeply rooted in Yoruba traditions and spiritual practices, reached a global audience when his creations were prominently featured in the main exhibition of the 60th Venice Biennale in 2024.

Àjàlá, of Yoruba heritage, charted an extraordinary course in the realm of visual art, despite lacking formal educational training. His journey as an artist was predominantly shaped by a self-directed study and his immersion in traditional Yoruba customs. Central to Àjàlá’s artistic practice was his role as a priest of the Shango deity, a position that provided him with profound insights into the cultural and spiritual dimensions of Yoruba art. This unique perspective, coupled with his hands-on experience in traditional dye techniques, became the cornerstone of his renowned batik works.

Residing for a significant period with Susanne Wenger, a distinguished artist and devotee of Yoruba culture, Àjàlá regarded her as his adoptive mother and a major influence in his artistic development. Wenger’s mentorship and the environment she fostered played a crucial role in shaping Àjàlá’s artistic vision. Her guidance allowed Àjàlá to refine his craft, drawing upon her vast knowledge and his own experiences to create textiles that were not only visually stunning but also deeply embedded with cultural significance.

Àjàlá’s batik art is a testament to his mastery of traditional Yoruba dyeing techniques, which he employed with remarkable skill and creativity. His work often involved the use of up to 35 different colors, a testament to his intricate and labor-intensive process. Each piece of fabric was meticulously hand-painted, resulting in vibrant, multi-layered artworks that reflect the rich tapestry of Yoruba mythology and ritual.

One of Àjàlá’s most notable achievements came in 2014 when his monumental 25-foot-long batik titled "Oro Sise: The Initiation" was acquired by the Saïd Business School at the University of Oxford. This acquisition marked a significant milestone in Àjàlá’s career, highlighting the global recognition of his work and the appreciation for the intricate beauty and cultural depth of his art.

Àjàlá’s artistic journey is not merely a narrative of technical prowess but also a reflection of his deep-seated connection to Yoruba spirituality and tradition. His art is a living archive of Yoruba cultural practices, woven into the very fabric of his batik textiles. Through his work, Àjàlá bridged the gap between traditional African art forms and contemporary global art movements, offering a unique perspective that resonated with audiences worldwide.

The legacy of Sàngódáre Gbádégesin Àjàlá extends beyond the confines of his textiles. It is a narrative of cultural preservation, spiritual devotion, and artistic innovation. His contributions have not only enriched the world of art but also provided a vital link to the traditions and practices of the Yoruba people. As his works continue to be celebrated and studied, Àjàlá’s impact on the art world remains enduring, a testament to the power of art to transcend boundaries and connect diverse cultures.
