European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Cristiano Ronaldo Is Not Retiring From Portugal, Apologises To Teammates by Marvieduke(op): 8:40am On Oct 07
𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐀𝐍𝐎 𝐈𝐒 𝑵𝑶𝑻 𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐔𝐆𝐀𝐋 — 𝐒𝐄𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐔𝐄!

Official statement released by 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐨 𝐑𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐝𝐨

"As promised, I want to explain directly what happened at the last national team camp”.
⠀
•After the World Cup, the FPF President insisted I reconsider leaving and asked my opinion on the current coach. I said he would be the right choice”.
⠀
“In August, the coach told me I was fundamental to his project: I'd play the first and last games. He suggested I skip the away trips, but I refused: a captain doesn't stay home. Simão Coutinho witnessed it”.
⠀
“On the day of the Norway game, he asked if I was ready to play 30 minutes. It wasn't in the plan, but I said yes. I warmed up from half-time and was never called upon. He had broken his word. Not greeting the fans afterwards was my fault, and I apologise”.
⠀
“48 hours later, with Coutinho present, we agreed he would tell the truth in the press room: the plan was his, I never asked for minutes, and making me warm up without playing was a mistake. He asked me for a hug and promised. I approved a short document with those notes”.
⠀
“That morning I had told the President and the coach: if you don't want me, just tell me. Both said no”.
⠀
“The press conference had nothing to do with what we agreed. I heard an aggression I did not deserve. It was the second time he broke his word”.
⠀
“In almost 25 years I have never interfered in a technical decision. But when my word is broken, my place is not there”.
⠀
“I apologise to my teammates for leaving. The responsibility is mine alone. The FPF should punish me with no mitigating circumstances; as captain, that's an aggravating factor”.
⠀
“There are talks of farewell games. But I learned, when I was hungry, that nobody gives anything to anyone. The national team, for me, means competing”.

“When my father died, I stayed until the next match was over. I did that for my country”.
⠀
“If I'm fit, after my suspension, I'll be available, as always, to compete and win for Portugal”.
⠀
“This is the absolute truth”.

Foreign Affairs › Italy To Legalize Chemical Castration For Convicted Sex Offenders. by Marvieduke(op): 8:15am On Oct 07
Italy has moved a step closer to legalizing chemical castration for convicted sex offenders, after the Chamber of Deputies approved a motion committing the government to form a technical committee to study pharmacological treatment for people convicted of sexual violence against children.

The motion was introduced by League party lawmaker Igor Iezzi and backed by the government of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, following a series of high-profile rape cases that have shaken public confidence in the justice system. Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, the League’s leader, called it “another important step forward in our historic battle for justice and common sense: zero tolerance for rapists and pedophiles.” League Justice Undersecretary Andrea Ostellari said in September 2026 that “in the face of new very serious episodes of sexual violence, especially against minors, concrete answers are needed,” adding that it was time to “start the technical table and transform this will into a concrete proposal.”

The underlying bill, first filed by the League in August 2023 and still stalled in the Senate, would allow judges to order total hormonal blockade using luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist drugs for people convicted of sexual violence, based on an assessment of the offender’s dangerousness. Under the League’s model, the treatment would be framed as voluntary and complementary to a prison sentence, though it would apply automatically in cases of repeat offending or abuse of minors. What Parliament has actually approved so far is a non-binding instruction to the government, known in Italian as an ordine del giorno, not a statute, and no law currently authorizes chemical castration as a criminal penalty in Italy.

Opposition figures and rights lawyers have pushed back, arguing that a drug which alters the body sits at the edge of Italy’s constitutional protections on personal integrity, and that public anger after individual crimes is a poor foundation for using medicine as punishment. Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani, leader of the coalition party Forza Italia, has also voiced opposition to the proposal, putting him at odds with his own governing coalition on the issue.

Foreign Affairs › Flydubai Flight: Identity Of Omani Co-pilot Revealed As Hamam Al Hammani by Marvieduke(op): 10:54am On Oct 06
Flydubai Flight FZ1073 Omani co-pilot, identified as Hamam Al Hammami who stabbed Captain Smit Machchhar mid-flight and sent the Boeing 737 into a catastrophic, near-vertical plunge.

Al Hamami launched a surprise axe attack on the captain and threw the aircraft into a violent dive - losing over 16,000 feet in roughly a minute - in a attempt to crash the plane.

Severely wounded, Captain Machchhar managed to crack open the cockpit door, allowing passengers and crew to storm the flight deck, overpower the co-pilot, and pull the aircraft out of its dive with mere seconds to spare.

Al Hamami worked for a short time for Oman Air. Surveilance by the Omani government discovered that he was visiting frequently radical websites. Oman Air then transferred him to an office job. He was later fired from Oman Air for having "extremist views". He left Oman Air around 2024.

Al Hamami moved to Dubai, and FlyDubai hired him.

He was at flydubai for only 8 months.

FCT police rescue 12 year old girl being raped inside a parked car after noticing the car shaking

The FCT Police Command have arrested one Zazzayanu Halilu for allegedly raping a 12-year-old girl inside a car on Oct. 2nd.

According to SP Josephine Adeh, spokesperson of the command, the arrest was effected after operatives while on routine patrol around Airport Bridge Taxi Park, observed a fully tinted navy blue Volkswagen vehicle with registration number KMC567LQ parked with its windows wound up. However, the vehicle was shaking.

Adeh said the officers, suspecting foul play, approached the vehicle and opened it, only to see the suspect raping the minor.

She mentioned that following the discovery, the suspect was promptly arrested and the victim was rescued. Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect had, on several occasions, lured and sexually abused the underaged victim in the said vehicle parked at the same location, with threats to “deal with her” if she reveals the abuse to anyone.

Adeh said medical examination also revealed that the victim is about three months pregnant as a result of the abuse. She said the victim is currently receiving medical care and assessment, while the suspect remains in Police custody and will be charged to court upon conclusion of investigations.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Christiano Ronaldo: Jorge Jesus Comment That Reportedly Sparked Cr7 Leaving The by Marvieduke(op):
Jorge Jesus’ comments that reportedly sparked the controversy and led to Cristiano Ronaldo leaving the national team camp!

Reporter
Did you speak to Cristiano Ronaldo on the morning of the match and promise him that he would play for 30 minutes?

Jorge Jesus:
“Yes, I did. In fact, I just said that.”

Reporter:
But can you promise a player that he will play for 30 minutes and then not play him at all?

Jorge Jesus:
“Of course I can. I can promise whatever I want. I’m the coach, and it seems this is causing you a lot of confusion.

I told the players who were not expected to start: ‘I’ll take you to the bench. If I need 30 minutes from you, you’ll play. If I don’t need you, you won’t play.’

And based on the way I saw the match, I decided not to bring Cristiano on. There is no Cristiano, and there never will be any player who dictates my decisions or imposes his ideas on me as a coach.

I am the coach. I make the decisions, and that applies to everyone.”


Edu Aguirre has explained Cristiano’s version on Chiringuito

“In a meeting between Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal president and Jorge Jesus, the coach asks Cristiano for 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐆𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒 for the way he let him warm up for 30 mins to not sub him on”.

“Jorge not only asked for forgiveness but he also 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐈𝐒𝐄𝐃 Cristiano that he will so 𝐏𝐔𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐘 𝐀𝐏𝐎𝐋𝐎𝐆𝐈𝐙𝐄 in his press conference and admit that he made a 𝐌𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄 on Sunday”.

@eduaguirre7 @elchiringuitotv ℹ️
“Jorge Jesus then did 𝐍𝐎𝐓 fulfill his promise… he said things about Cristiano being 𝐀 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐑 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐒 in his press conference, all of that made Cristiano 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐋𝐎𝐃𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐑”.

“The reality is that Cristiano feels 𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐃 by Jorge Jesus”.

“Imagine your manager comes in private and tells you: I didn’t manage stuff well, we are in this together but forgive me, I will clarify stuff in the press conference and apologize. Everything will be fine, don’t worry… and then coach goes out in the press conference showing that he is the one in control and then that Cristiano is just another player. The explosion was obvious!”.

“Ronaldo said: ok, I’m going home. It’s a 𝐂𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐑 𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐘𝐀𝐋“.

Celebrities › Superman Actor Henry Cavill Surprise Nephew School To Prove He Is His Uncle. by Marvieduke(op): 4:02pm On Sep 29
Imagine being seven years old, showing up to school in a Superman shirt and confidently telling everyone, “My uncle is Superman.”

Thomas Cavill expected people to be impressed. Instead, nobody believed him. His teacher accused him of making it up, but Thomas refused to change his story. What started as a playground argument soon became serious enough that he was sent to the principal’s office for telling “tall tales.”

When his mother arrived at the school, administrators explained that they were concerned about her son’s supposedly dishonest behavior. She calmly heard them out before responding with a reality check they probably weren’t expecting: “I hate to tell you this, but it’s completely true.”

Henry Cavill had just been cast as the Man of Steel.

Then came the ultimate proof. The following morning, Superman himself walked his nephew right up to the school gates.

The teacher and principal could only stare as Thomas’ unbelievable story suddenly became very real.

Sometimes the truth doesn’t just prove everyone wrong. It walks you to school.

Nairaland General › Army Officer Onaji Samuel Pius share an encounter with an elderly police officer by Marvieduke(op): 8:29am On Sep 29
One day I was out in Lagos wearing my black T-shirt on a fine camouflage short I love so much, with a Yankee pcap on my head.

I came passing a place where police were carrying out stop and search operation.

I was walking confidently on the other side of the road when suddenly one of the police men start calling out to me.

I look up and the elderly police inspector said "come pls"

I already knew it's the camouflage short I was wearing. But bcuz he was my elder and almost like the age of my father, I felt he have the right to call me to come and I must obey cuz I was taught from home to be respectful to my elders and to my Subbodinates who composed themselves.

I crossed the road to him and he said, "you're putting on a military material. Are you a soldier"?

" Yes sir, I'm a soldier"

"Can I see your ID card"?

" Yes sir, here"

"Oh ok, you can go then"

"Thank u sir"

I walked some steps and he called me back and said "thank you my son for the way you respect me. As you respect me without argument, may life be easy for you. May you succeed in this job. And may you retire strong to enjoy your pension"

I said Amen and left. But as I continue walking, bystanders watching what was going on started praying for me too. Everyone I walked pass said God bless u my pikin and I just said Amen.

One day the wife of one my colleague who was in the war front was detained cuz she had a problem with her selling neighbor in the market.

Her husband called me and said pls help me go bail my wife out pls.

I went to the station and behold, the baba police that prayed for me was the one on the case.

He said, my boy, no worry yourself. I will release her to u now. You're like my son Now. Call or visit me anytime

As I was about to leave his office, I told him, " Sir, you prayed for me, and now God is putting you in my story to answer your own prayers. How wonderful can this God be?"

The lesson here is, you gat to be humble everywhere you go cuz life can turn around in a snap. And rather than living a life that attract curses everyday, live that many mouths should blessed you. Cuz you will definitely be needing those blessings at some points

I'm a soldier today, and while other seek money and power in unlikely place and by offending the people they're meant to protect, I choose to gather blessings and God's mercy from the people I helped and showed respect. cuZ after all, all things will pass away, but God's mercy will endure forever

Crime › Christa Pike: American Woman On Death Row To Be Executed September 30 by Marvieduke(op): 7:47am On Sep 23

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QExeUVXOao?si=C4W3cGBI0CJq-suA

The woman in the photo is Christa Gail Pike. She is currently the only woman on Tennessee's death row and, having been sentenced at just 20 years old, is often noted as the youngest woman ever sentenced to death in the U.S.

The crime occurred in January 1995 when Pike was an 18-year-old attending a Job Corps program in Knoxville, Tennessee .

Driven by jealousy involving her boyfriend, Pike and two accomplices (her boyfriend and another student) lured 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer into the woods. For over about 30 minutes, they tortured and beat Slemmer, carving a pentagram into her chest. Pike delivered the fatal blow by striking her skull with a chunk of asphalt .

Prosecutors described it as an act of "extraordinarily brutal" cruelty.

After nearly 30 years of appeals, Pike's execution is currently scheduled for September 30, 2026 . If carried out, she would be the first woman executed in Tennessee in over 200 years .

Though her lawyers are currently fighting the sentence through a clemency petition and a religious-liberty lawsuit regarding the lethal injection process.

Do you think she should be executed?



Tennessee woman, Christa Pike, makes special request days before execution

Christa Pike has “horrible nightmares.” Her “nerves are shredded.”

In eight days, the 50-year-old who killed her friend when she was a teenager will have her worst nightmares realized inside the execution chamber in Nashville, Tennessee.

Pike is set to become the first woman put to death in Tennessee since 1819 if Governor Bill Lee does not put a stop to the scheduled execution before 10 a.m. local time on September 30.

Her lawyers, who filed a 226-page clemency petition, are still waiting for a last-minute reprieve.

Under the state’s updated lethal injection protocol, a single-drug chemical dose of pentobarbital will enter her system while she is strapped to a gurney.

The reason, her lawyers say, is that she has post-traumatic stress disorder from the widely documented abuse she suffered at the hands of men as a young girl, including when she was just two years old.

They also say her death by lethal injection will be “prolonged and agonizing” because she has a rare blood disorder that could make finding a vein more difficult and affect the way she reacts to the drug.
