Illusioneffect: Mbappé Standalone Kingship as All-Time World Cup Top Scorer History has rewritten itself on football's grandest stage. In a breathtaking individual tournament run, France’s Kylian Mbappé has officially become the highest goalscorer in FIFA World Cup history. By finding the back of the net twice in France's recent outing against England, Mbappé took his career World Cup tally to an unprecedented 22 goals. This monumental achievement pushes him past Argentina's legendary Lionel Messi, who had briefly claimed the crown earlier in the 2026 tournament to reach 21 total goals. The Great Ascent: All-Time World Cup Top Scorers The race at the top of soccer history has reached its boiling point. Here is how the historic leaderboard looks following Mbappé's masterclass: 1. Kylian Mbappé 🇫🇷 (France) — 22 Goals| 22 Matches Played 2. Lionel Messi 🇦🇷 (Argentina) — 21 Goals | 33 Matches Played 3. Miroslav Klose 🇩🇪 (Germany) — 16 Goals | 24 Matches Played 4. Ronaldo 🇧🇷Brazil) — 15 Goals | 19 Matches Played 5. Gerd Müller 🇩🇪(West Germany) — 14 Goals| 13 Matches Played ### ⚡ Breaking Down the Numbers: Mbappé vs. Messi The speed with which the 27-year-old French captain has dismantled this record is nothing short of terrifying for global defenses. * **Efficiency Extraordinaire:** Mbappé reached his **22-goal milestone** in exactly **22 World Cup appearances**, maintaining a flawless 1.0 goal-per-game ratio on the biggest stage. * **The Longevity Contrast:** In comparison, Lionel Messi scored his 21st World Cup goal in his 31st appearance for Argentina at 39 years old. Mbappé has bypassed that mountain nearly a decade younger than his former PSG teammate. * **Tournament Breakdown:** Mbappé's legacy features 4 goals in Russia 2018, an outstanding 8 goals in Qatar 2022, and another blistering 10 goals over the course of the 2026 campaign to fully claim the throne. While Messi’s multi-generational brilliance and magical tournament moments will remain etched in football folklore forever, the mantle of the World Cup's ultimate marksman has unequivocally shifted to Kylian Mbappé. At just 27, he isn't just chasing history—he's pulling completely out of sight.

Na this one problem be this. Who moved this to the frontpage?
Dregs: We should be careful with whom we choose to have a child with, get married to, and spend our lives with in this period.
To be honest, I don’t buy into the idea of growing distance between me and my child, nor with her mother, who has been the worst-case scenario in my life. I do my best to provide for my daughter’s needs, but recently she got sick and her mother has been dealing with the situation alone—caring for the child—while I provide the finances. It hasn’t been easy on my end either.
With all this happening, she is disrespecting me and building resentment, as if I’m happy with our current situation. I’m working hard to bring my child closer to me, but her mom being in the picture makes it a long and difficult process. I didn’t get it right with this one, and I feel like I shot myself in the foot by going with the “baby mama” approach as a way to have a child.
Man, it’s ;Done of my biggest mistakes. I’d rather wait a long time and be well settled in life than follow that path for raising a child.
Sometimes I don’t blame men who choose that lifestyle, because women these days often don’t honor their men or respect the sacrifices we make to keep the family happy. I love my child, and I hate to see her upbringing go this way.
We no need your advise, carry your cross. Ntorrrrr

Ofunaofu: They Presented The Girls As If They Are Runs Girls, These People Were Inside The Plane With Me- Umahi
Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi has expressed his displeasure over the portrayal of Mary Habila and her colleague who were on official medical duty at his residence as runs girls.
Speaking on Symfoni TV, Umahi said, "I don't want to dwell on it too much, because I'm mourning, it is like losing a daughter. And I laugh when they call her a physiotherapist. They presented these girls as if they were runs girls. These people were inside the plane with me and my immediate staff. We flew together. It is not as if they even came separately. We all flew together to Lagos. And this was not the first time," he said.
Sen. Umahi also revealed details of Mary's final hours, based on an account provided by her boyfriend.
He alleged that the boyfriend said that while in Lagos for a conference, Mary called him to say she was bleeding from the nose.
According to him, Mary's boyfriend advised her to report to her supervisor, knowing the supervisor would insist she seek medical attention but Mary reportedly did not want to be a burden, and instead looked for a nearby hospital on her own.
Umahi said he has since asked the police to retrieve her call log so investigators can establish exactly what was said in her last conversation with her boyfriend.
This man just dey talk plenty. Umahi knows what happened to that babe but like always nothing will happen. After two weeks now nobody go hear of this matter again.
Na this girl family I dey blame. This family na yeye family. We know say oga minister don settle una with threats join but its shameful to allow your daughter to die lie this. We all know Dave Umahi is lying but if family come mumu like this, who am I?
Rapmoney: I have seen some leaked chats between Asaba content creator, Ifeanyi Ogbonna aka Odogwu Asaba and the girl he raped, Favour before she committed suicide. From the chats, I was able to understand that:
1. She did not just kill herself because she was raped by Odogwu Asaba. The man kept on threatening her that she should go ahead and involve the police.
2. Ifeanyi Ogbonna aka Odogwu Asaba did not handle the issue properly. He did not compensate her enough as she had expected for his act. I don't need to explain this in details. Let the chats do the explanation.
3. I do not think this is the first time Odogwu Asaba has done something like this. It could be that the other young girls he forcefully slept with did not escalate the issue because they accepted the peanuts he gave them.
4. I would not want to speak evil of the dead, but our young girls should be very careful. What was she planning to go and do in Abuja if Odogwu Asaba did not discourage her from going? I am sure she wasn't going to Abuja for a church crusade. What if the man in Abuja had used her for ritual purposes?
5. The inadequacy of due compensation and threats from Odogwu Asaba escalated the issue and led to her death.
My last words:
• If you are a lady, do not travel to see a man you do not know. Anything can happen. Protect your life. May social media and content creation not destroy the lives of our young people.
• As A man, it is better to visit a brothel than to rape a woman. It can ruin your life and future plans.

Antoeni: According to exclusive findings by SaharaReporters on Sunday, Habila, a Physiotherapist, was reportedly found naked when her body was removed from the minister's residence.
The woman found dead at the residence of Nigeria's Minister of Works, David Umahi, who has been identified as Mary Habila, died naked at the Minister’s quarters, SaharaReporters has gathered.
According to exclusive findings by SaharaReporters on Sunday, Habila, a Physiotherapist, was reportedly found naked when her body was removed from the minister's residence.
SaharaReporters had reported that the minister, David Umahi, confirmed that Mary Habila died at his residence in Uburu, Ebonyi State. He had claimed that she was a physiotherapist seconded to the Federal Ministry of Works from the David Umahi Federal University of Health Sciences.
Exclusive photographs obtained by SaharaReporters showed that Mary Habila was found without clothing when her body was removed from the minister's residence.
Despite the Minister's official statement claiming that Mary Habila and Mary Baski were physiotherapists employed by the David Umahi Federal University of Health Sciences and seconded to his residence, police sources familiar with the investigation have disputed that account.
According to the sources, Habila and Baski arrived at the minister's residence on June 26 after travelling from Kaduna State. Investigators alleged that the two women were brought from Kaduna to attend to the minister.
SaharaReporters has independently verified the authenticity and context of the images.
Despite the Minister's official statement claiming that Mary Habila and Mary Baski were physiotherapists employed by the David Umahi Federal University of Health Sciences and seconded to his residence, police sources familiar with the investigation have disputed that account.
According to the sources, Habila and Baski arrived at the minister's residence on June 26 after travelling from Kaduna State. Investigators alleged that the two women were brought from Kaduna to attend to the minister.
Habila was found dead inside the residence the following morning under circumstances that investigators are still working to establish.
Police sources further disclosed that Jonathan Bawado, a police officer serving as Senator David Umahi's Personal Assistant and who previously served as his Aide-de-Camp (ADC) during Umahi's tenure as Governor of Ebonyi State, was responsible for bringing the two women to the residence.
According to the sources, Bawado was also the individual who alerted medical personnel after Habila was discovered unresponsive.
There have been also public concerns about how staff of the University hospital were seconded to the residence of the Minister of Works for no official reasons.
In a statement issued on Saturday by his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Francis Nwaze, Umahi had described Habila's death as "unfortunate" and said he received the news with profound shock and sadness.
According to the statement, the minister said emergency measures were immediately activated after the incident, with medical personnel, including the Chief Medical Director of the David Umahi Federal University of Health Sciences (DUFUHS), Uburu, contacted without delay.
He added that the Nigerian police was also promptly notified in line with legal procedures.
The minister claimed that after Habila's death was confirmed, he personally received her parents, offered his condolences, and advised the family to consent to an autopsy to scientifically establish the cause of death.
However, the minister claimed that the family initially declined the recommendation.
The death of Mary Habila has generated public interest following reports questioning the circumstances under which she died while in Uburu, Ebonyi State, prompting calls for a transparent investigation.
SaharaReporters previously reported that Habbila died under mysterious circumstances inside the country home of Nigeria's Umahi in Uburu, Ohaozara Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.
SaharaReporters' investigation revealed that the incident had been shrouded in secrecy, with both the Ebonyi State Government and the state police command maintaining silence over the matter.
Multiple police sources told SaharaReporters that the incident occurred on June 27, 2026, barely a day after Habbila and another woman, Anita Baski, both from Kaduna State, were reportedly brought to the minister's residence.
SaharaReporters learnt that the death had since triggered a police investigation, with the case transferred from the Ohaozara Divisional Police Headquarters to the Ebonyi State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Abakaliki.
According to police sources familiar with the investigation, Habbila and Baski arrived at the minister's residence on June 26. The sources alleged that the two women had been brought from Kaduna State to attend to the minister.
Habbila was, however, found dead inside the residence the following morning under circumstances investigators are still trying to establish.
According to the sources, a doctor and an ambulance were subsequently dispatched to the residence, while the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ohaozara Police Division, CSP Tobechukwu Godwin, was notified of the incident.
SaharaReporters further learnt that Professor Chihurumnanya Alo, Consultant Public Health Physician, Infectious Diseases Specialist and Chief Medical Director of the David Umahi Federal University Teaching Hospital (DUFUTH), Uburu, was also alerted about the incident.

ariesbull: Major General Chinedu Ralph Nnebuife Hailed for Coordinating Rescue Operation in Oyo
Major General Chinedu Ralph Nnebuife, the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 2 Division of the Nigerian Army in Ibadan, Oyo State, has been widely commended for coordinating the military operation that reportedly rescued the victims of the Orire kidnapping incident and neutralized the suspected bandits involved.
The operation has been praised as an example of the Nigerian Armed Forces' commitment to protecting citizens regardless of their ethnic, religious, or regional backgrounds.
Major General Nnebuife, an Igbo officer serving in the South-West, coordinated efforts to rescue victims, many of whom are from different ethnic and religious communities. His role serves as a reminder that national service is founded on duty, professionalism, and the protection of every Nigerian—not ethnic or religious identity.
At a time when tribal and religious divisions often dominate public discourse, this operation underscores an important reality: insecurity affects all Nigerians, and those working to combat it come from every part of the country. The success of security operations depends on cooperation, professionalism, and unity rather than ethnic or religious affiliation.
Rather than allowing tribalism and sectarian narratives to divide the nation, Nigerians can draw inspiration from examples of public servants who put country before identity. Acts of courage and service such as this reinforce the idea that Nigeria's strength lies in its diversity and in the willingness of its citizens to stand for one another.
As the nation continues to confront security challenges, many believe that promoting unity, mutual respect, and national interest over ethnic and religious differences remains essential to building a safer and more prosperous Nigeria.
Make them protect this man ooo. No be tomorrow now we go dey hear another story. This one wey dem dey kill middle men.
press9jatv: Gov. Fubara Presents ₦1.85tn 2026 Budget to Rivers State House of Assembly
Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara has presented a proposed ₦1.854 trillion 2026 Appropriation Bill to the Rivers State House of Assembly, marking his first appearance before the Assembly as led by Martin Amarehule since the political crisis that split the legislature in 2023.
The budget presentation signals a major turning point in the state's political landscape, coming after the reconciliation of the governor and lawmakers following nearly three years of parallel legislative sittings and rival budget presentations.
Presenting the estimates tagged "Budget of Resilience for Growth and Development," Governor Fubara said the proposal was designed to sustain economic growth, strengthen infrastructure, improve human capital development and enhance social investments across the state.
The governor projected total revenue of ₦1.854 trillion for the 2026 fiscal year, representing a 24.49 per cent increase over the adjusted 2025 budget.
He attributed the expected growth to higher receipts from the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC), derivation funds and internally generated revenue.
Of the proposed budget, ₦413.1 billion is earmarked for recurrent expenditure, while ₦1.405 trillion is allocated to capital projects.
The capital allocation includes ₦533.3 billion for works and infrastructure, ₦315 billion for education, ₦105.4 billion for healthcare, ₦41.4 billion for the Rivers State House of Assembly, ₦30 billion for the judiciary and ₦19.3 billion for agriculture, among other sectors.
Governor Fubara also announced plans to increase overhead allocations to Ministries, Departments and Agencies by at least 50 per cent and clear outstanding gratuities and death benefits owed to retired civil servants.
He said his administration had maintained fiscal stability through prudent management of public funds, stressing that the government remained committed to accountability, transparency and responsible spending.
The governor urged lawmakers to approve the budget, describing it as a people-centred blueprint aimed at accelerating development, attracting investment, creating jobs and improving the living standards of residents across Rivers State.
