No longer in contention for the title, Nigeria’s Junior D’Tigress will take on Argentina today (Friday) in the classification round of the ongoing FIBA U-19 Women’s Basketball World Cup in Brno, Czechia.
Led by coach Juliana Akhere, the Nigerian side suffered a 77-51 defeat to Hungary in the round of 16 on Wednesday, ending their hopes of lifting the trophy. However, there is still pride on the line as they battle the South Americans at the Starez Arena Vodova Hall for a place among the 9th–16th spots.
Making their debut at the tournament, Nigeria have posted commendable stats, averaging 61.8 points, 42.3 rebounds, and 11.8 assists per game. Their shooting efficiency includes a 65.8% success rate from the free-throw line, 33.1% for two-point field goals, and 21.2% from beyond the arc.
In contrast, Argentina have struggled throughout the competition, averaging just 46.5 points, 32 rebounds, and 12.3 assists per game. Their shooting metrics include a 64.6% free-throw conversion rate, 39.2% on two-point attempts, and 22.6% on three-pointers.
Nigeria began their Group B campaign with a historic win over China but followed up with losses to Canada and Portugal, finishing third in the group with a 1-2 record. The subsequent defeat to Hungary in the knockout stage relegated them to the classification matches.
Argentina, meanwhile, are still winless in the tournament. They opened with a 68-47 loss to Spain, were beaten 77-49 by hosts Czechia, then fell 83-44 to Japan in the group stage. Their round of 16 match ended in a heavy 95-46 defeat to Australia.
Toby Nweke has been Nigeria’s standout performer, averaging 11.5 points per game with back-to-back double-digit outings. Argentina’s top scorer is Nerea Lagowski, averaging nine points per game.
The winner of today’s clash will face either Brazil or South Korea in the next round of classification fixtures.
President Bola Tinubu has authorized the renaming of the University of Maiduguri in Borno State to Muhammadu Buhari University. ”May we now adopt the University of the Maduguri as the Muhammadu Buhari University,” Tinubu spoke at the conclusion of a special Federal Executive Council session held on Thursday at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja, in honour of Buhari. Before that, the President offered high praise for Buhari, calling him “a good man, a decent man, an honourable man,” and commending his enduring legacy of discipline, patriotism, and integrity. Tinubu admitted that although the late president had his shortcomings, his deep commitment to national service made him stand out. “President Buhari was not a perfect man, no leader is, but he was, in every sense of the word, a good man, a decent man, an honourable man. “His record will be debated, as all legacies are, but the character he brought to public life, the moral force he carried, the incorruptible standard he represented, will not be forgotten. “His was a life lived in full service to Nigeria, and in fidelity to God,” he said. Reflecting on Buhari’s tenure and his extensive military and public service, Tinubu lauded the late leader’s modesty, humility, and steadfast refusal to be swayed by the allure of power. He said, “He stood, always, ramrod straight; unmoved by the temptation of power, unseduced by applause and unafraid of the loneliness that often visits those who do what is right, rather than what is popular. “His was a quiet courage, a righteousness that never announced itself. His patriotism was lived more in action than in words.” Tinubu also reflected on their political partnership, which led to the landmark 2015 elections—Nigeria’s first democratic transition of power between rival parties. ”We stood together, he and I. Alongside others drawn from across the political spectrum, regions and tongues, we formed an alliance that enabled Nigeria to experience its first true democratic transfer of power from one ruling party to another. “When he was sworn in as our party’s first elected President, he led with restraint, governed with dignity, and bore the burdens of leadership without complaint,” he said. The President praised Buhari’s humility after leaving office, highlighting how he quietly returned to his hometown of Daura without attempting to exert influence from the sidelines. “When his tenure ended, he returned to Daura; not to command from the shadows or to hold court, but to live as he always had, never seeking to impose his will but content to let others carry the nation forward. “Even in death, he maintained the serenity that defined him in life: not a sigh, not a groan, just a quiet submission to the will of God. Such was the man Nigeria has lost. Such was the man for whom our nation now mourns,” he added. Tinubu expressed gratitude to the Inter-Ministerial Committee and Katsina State Governor, Dikko Radda, for arranging a dignified state funeral within 48 hours, calling it a “profound honour” to lead the burial procession in Daura. He concluded his tribute with a prayer: “Mai Gaskiya, the People’s General, the Farmer President, your duty is done. May Almighty Allah forgive his shortcomings and grant him Aljannah Firdaus. May his life continue to inspire generations of Nigerians to serve with courage, conviction, and selflessness. President Buhari, thank you. Nigeria will remember you.” Buhari died on Sunday, July 13, at the age of 82.
Manchester United have submitted a third offer for Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, with the proposed deal potentially rising to £70 million. The offer consists of an initial £65 million fee, supplemented by £5 million in performance-related add-ons.
Brentford are yet to respond to the bid.
United remain confident of securing the Cameroon international’s signature and had hoped to finalise the deal ahead of their departure to the United States on Tuesday, where they are scheduled to play three pre-season matches. The team will be based in Chicago for the majority of the 13-day tour.
Despite recent links to Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson and Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, Mbeumo has always been the primary attacking target for new manager Ruben Amorim. The 25-year-old enjoyed a standout campaign last season, scoring 20 Premier League goals, and attracted interest from several clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, now managed by former Brentford boss Thomas Frank. However, Mbeumo is understood to favour a move to Old Trafford.
Brentford may also face further disruption in attack, with fellow forward Yoane Wissa reportedly drawing interest from Newcastle United.
United’s push for Mbeumo comes amid a pressing need for greater attacking output. Last season, the club managed just 44 Premier League goals—their lowest tally since the 1973–74 relegation campaign. Manager Ruben Amorim has often criticised the team’s inefficiency in front of goal.
United have already reinforced their squad this summer with the signings of forward Matheus Cunha and defender Diego Leon. Should the Mbeumo deal be completed, Bruno Fernandes is expected to move into a deeper midfield role, with Cunha occupying one of the inside forward positions in Amorim’s preferred tactical setup.
The signing could also further diminish the chances of Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, and Antony—who are currently out of favour—returning to first-team contention.
Manchester United begin their Premier League campaign at home to Arsenal on 17 August.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has once again made headlines with his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on July 14, 2025, marking his third official exit from the party he co-founded in 1998.
In a letter addressed to the PDP Chairman of Jada 1 Ward in Adamawa State, Atiku cited “irreconcilable differences” and the party’s deviation from its founding principles as the reason for his departure.
Publicly announced on July 16, 2025, the move has reignited debates about his political future, particularly as he now aligns with the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Atiku’s Political Journey: Exiting and Rejoining the PDP
Atiku Abubakar’s political career is defined by strategic party movements, largely influenced by his presidential aspirations and internal party disagreements. Since Nigeria’s return to democracy in 1999, Atiku has switched parties six times, including three exits from the PDP.
1. 1998–2006: PDP Foundation and First Exit
Atiku joined the PDP in 1998 as a founding member and was elected Governor of Adamawa State in 1999. Before assuming office, he became the running mate to Olusegun Obasanjo and served as Vice President from 1999 to 2007.
His fallout with Obasanjo—especially over the latter’s alleged third-term bid—highlighted internal tensions within the PDP. In 2006, citing a lack of internal democracy, Atiku defected to the Action Congress (AC) to contest the 2007 presidential election. He lost to the PDP’s Umaru Musa Yar’Adua.
2. 2009–2014: Return and Second Exit
Atiku returned to the PDP in 2009 after disagreements with AC leaders, including Bola Tinubu. He contested the PDP’s 2011 presidential primaries, where he lost to Goodluck Jonathan, garnering 805 votes to Jonathan’s 2,736.
In 2014, citing again the PDP’s lack of internal democracy, he exited and became a founding member of the All Progressives Congress (APC). He contested the APC’s 2014 presidential primaries but lost to Muhammadu Buhari.
3. 2017–2025: Second Return and Third Exit
In December 2017, disillusioned by the APC’s leadership, Atiku rejoined the PDP. He clinched the party’s presidential ticket for both the 2019 and 2023 elections, losing to Buhari and Tinubu respectively.
Persistent internal conflicts, including unresolved zoning issues and post-election crises, led to growing frustration. On July 14, 2025, he announced his third exit, signaling a shift toward leading a new opposition coalition under the ADC.
In total, Atiku has:
Left the PDP three times: 2006, 2014, and 2025.
Rejoined twice: 2009 and 2017.
Contested elections under four different parties: SDP (1993), PDP, AC (2007), and potentially ADC (2027).
Is This Exit Permanent?
Atiku’s latest move, his third resignation from the PDP, raises the question: Is this truly the final break?
His leadership role in the newly formed ADC coalition, launched in March 2025 alongside figures like Peter Obi and David Mark, suggests a long-term realignment. The coalition aims to consolidate opposition forces following a fragmented 2023 election (Tinubu 37%, Atiku 29%, Obi 25%).
Citing “irreconcilable differences” in his resignation letter, Atiku appears intent on forging a new path. At 78, many believe this represents his last presidential run, with the ADC offering a cleaner slate and ideological repositioning.
Moreover, the PDP continues to struggle with internal disunity, unresolved factional disputes (e.g., Nyesom Wike’s bloc), and strategic failures—all of which have fueled Atiku’s frustration.
Yet, given Atiku’s history of returning to the PDP, critics argue his loyalty is flexible. While the ADC has gained momentum, with defections from PDP and APC in states like Borno and Gombe, its electoral viability remains untested. The party secured just 81,919 votes in 2023.
Should the ADC fail to build a cohesive platform or mount a serious challenge to the APC, Atiku might consider another return, especially if the PDP regains stability.
While Atiku Abubakar’s political career has been marked by frequent party shifts, the context of his 2025 resignationsuggests a more decisive and possibly permanent break from the PDP.
His leadership role within the ADC coalition, combined with the PDP’s deep-rooted crises and his advancing age, points to a strategic recalibration. Atiku likely views 2027 as his final shot at the presidency—and the ADC provides a fresh platform for that ambition.
However, given his history of reversals and the ADC’s uncertain strength, only time will tell if this exit truly marks the end of Atiku’s long-standing association with the PDP—or yet another twist in Nigeria’s evolving political drama.
Nigeria’s Junior D’Tigress have been eliminated from title contention at the ongoing FIBA U-19 Women’s Basketball World Cup in Brno, Czechia, following a 77-51 defeat to Hungary in the Round of 16 on Wednesday.
Coached by Juliana Akhere, the Nigerian team had finished third in Group B behind Canada and Portugal, securing one win and two losses in the group stage to accumulate four points. Making their debut appearance at the tournament, the team began their campaign with an impressive 93-88 win over China, before falling to Canada and Portugal in subsequent games.
Despite the group stage setbacks, Nigeria advanced to the knockout stage, where they faced Hungary with a place in the quarter-finals on the line. The opening quarter ended evenly at 9-9, but the Hungarians took control thereafter, dominating the next three quarters 30-12, 16-15, and 22-15, respectively.
Statistically, Nigeria attempted 64 field goals with a shooting accuracy of 27%, while Hungary shot 74 times and converted at a rate of 38%. Hungary also outclassed Nigeria in assists (27 to 8), rebounds (51 to 37), and blocks (6 to 4), although the D’Tigress recorded more steals (7 to 5).
Toby Nweke led Nigeria’s scoring with 12 points and added four rebounds, while Jessica Ajayi contributed 11 points and four rebounds. Momoluwa Tewogbade also made an impact, posting nine points and three rebounds.
For Hungary, Jesopovits Kinga delivered a standout performance with a game-high 19 points and eight rebounds. Dora Toman and Szidonia Albert also chipped in with 17 and 11 points, respectively.
Although the loss ends Nigeria’s hopes of winning the World Cup, the team will continue in the classification rounds, where they will compete for a final placement between 9th and 16th.
The Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, discharged and acquitted former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose of all charges in a high-profile N6.9 billion fraud and money laundering case brought by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The decision, delivered by Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke, marks the end of a seven-year legal battle that has drawn significant public and political attention. Fayose, who served as Ekiti State Governor from 2003 to 2007 and 2014 to 2018, was initially arraigned by the EFCC on October 22, 2018, alongside his company, Spotless Investment Limited, on an 11-count charge bordering on money laundering and stealing. The charges alleged that Fayose received N1.2 billion in cash and $5 million from former Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro, without using financial institutions, to fund his 2014 gubernatorial campaign. The EFCC further accused him of laundering over N1.6 billion to acquire properties in Lagos and Abuja through proxy companies, De Privateer Ltd and Still Earth Ltd, in violation of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2011. Additional allegations included retaining N300 million and controlling N622 million, funds he allegedly knew were proceeds of crime, as well as using N200 million to purchase a property in Abuja under his sister’s name, Moji Oladeji. The trial, which spanned nearly seven years, saw the EFCC call approximately 20 witnesses and present extensive evidence. However, Fayose’s legal team, led by Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SAN) Chief Kanu Agabi and Olalekan Ojo, filed a no-case submission on May 19, 2025, arguing that the prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case. Agabi emphasized the absence of key alleged co-conspirator Abiodun Agbele from the charge sheet, weakening the EFCC’s narrative. He also argued that the prosecution could not directly link Fayose to the alleged crimes, noting that witness testimonies, including that of Obanikoro, failed to establish communication between Fayose and former National Security Adviser Sambo Dasuki, from whom the funds allegedly originated. Justice Aneke, in his ruling, upheld the no-case submission, stating that the EFCC’s evidence was insufficient to prove the allegations beyond reasonable doubt. “The prosecution failed to link the defendant to the alleged crimes in a manner that warrants this court to call upon him to open his defence,” the judge declared, discharging both Fayose and Spotless Investment Limited. The verdict sparked emotional scenes outside the courtroom, with Fayose breaking into tears and chanting “Winner ooo, winner!” alongside supporters. In a celebratory gesture, he was seen sharing a meal of amala and ewedu soup with bricklayers, a moment that quickly gained traction on social media. Fayose, a vocal Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, has consistently maintained that the charges were politically motivated. The EFCC, expressing dissatisfaction with the ruling, announced plans to appeal the decision at the Court of Appeal. In a statement by spokesperson Dele Oyewale, the agency reaffirmed its commitment to the rule of law and said it was studying the judgment to prepare its appeal. The EFCC’s counsel, Rotimi Jacobs (SAN), had argued during the trial that Fayose’s use of proxies for property purchases and failure to use personal bank accounts raised suspicions, citing testimonies from Obanikoro and EFCC investigator Abubakar Madaki. Despite these arguments, the court found the evidence lacking. The acquittal comes amid speculation of political interference, with reports on June 25, 2025, suggesting that the government was attempting to abandon the case. Fayose’s recent meeting with President Bola Tinubu and other PDP leaders, including FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, at the Presidential Villa fueled these claims, though no concrete evidence has been confirmed. Fayose has publicly praised Tinubu’s economic stabilization efforts, urging support across party lines. This ruling adds to the list of high-profile EFCC cases against politically exposed persons that have been dismissed, raising questions about the agency’s prosecutorial effectiveness. For Fayose, the acquittal is a significant victory, reinforcing his status as a resilient political figure in Nigeria’s dynamic landscape.
Dr. Tobi Oluwatola, CEO of TAO Energy, has emerged as the overall best net winner of the 2025 African Natural Resources and Energy Investment Summit Golf Tournament held in Abuja.
Oluwatola, playing off a handicap of 19, recorded an impressive 86 gross and 67 net to clinch the title.
The fourth edition of the prestigious tournament took place at the TYB International Golf Resort and Country Club in Abuja, drawing over 250 participants from across the continent.
Speaking after his win, an elated Oluwatola described the victory as deeply meaningful, marking his first-ever tournament triumph after years of coming close.
“It was a hard-fought victory, and I’m truly overjoyed. I’ve been putting in a lot of work and playing this game for four years,” he said. “Golf is a sport I’m very passionate about. I’ve finished second several times in this tournament, so to finally win it means a lot. This trophy holds a very special place in my heart.”
Reflecting on his performance, Oluwatola noted that although he started strong, he faced challenges toward the end of the round that nearly derailed his chances.
“I began well—I was putting confidently and hitting a lot of pars,” he explained. “But the nerves started to kick in near the end. On the 17th hole, a par 3, I hit my tee shot into the bush and thought the tournament was slipping away.
“I managed to recover, chipping the ball out—though it didn’t land on the green—but from just outside the fringe, I chipped it straight into the hole. At that moment, I felt the momentum shift. I parred the final hole, and the rest, as they say, is history.”
Alhaji Aliko Dangote, President of the Dangote Group, has revealed plans to reduce the cost of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), commonly known as cooking gas.
He also pledged to begin direct sales to consumers if current distributors fail to pass on the expected price reduction. However, industry stakeholders have pushed back against the proposal, accusing Dangote of attempting to dominate the LPG market. On Monday, dealers voiced concerns, warning that the move could lead to a monopoly in the sector. During a recent tour of his refinery with both local and international guests, Dangote emphasized that the prevailing cost of cooking gas is too high and beyond the reach of average Nigerians, many of whom are forced to rely on firewood. He revealed that the refinery currently produces 22,000 tonnes of LPG daily and is steadily increasing output to meet the growing demand in the Nigerian market, especially as more households transition to gas for cooking. While addressing members of the Lagos Business School’s CGEO Africa group during a visit to the Lekki refinery, Dangote Said, The one that we didn’t write, which you must have seen, is LPG. Currently, we do LPG of about 22,000 tonnes per day. You know Nigeria is gradually moving to the usage of LPG. But I believe it is expensive, but right now we’re trying to bring down the price and make it cheaper.” Dangote warned that “if the distributors are not trying to bring it down, we’ll go directly and sell to the consumers, so that people will now transit from firewood or kerosene to LPG for cooking.” Dangote plans to begin the nationwide direct distribution of petrol, diesel, and aviation fuel to marketers in August, using 4,000 CNG-powered buses for the rollout. Currently, cooking gas sells for between ₦1,000 and ₦1,300 per kilogram, but Dangote has promised to reduce the price to make it more accessible. Operators in the LPG market are reportedly unhappy with his intention to disrupt the sector. In an interview, Godwin Okoduwa, former Chairman of the LPG and Natural Gas Downstream Group of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry, described the move as monopolistic. He emphasized that Dangote should acknowledge the role of investors who expanded the market from 70,000 metric tonnes in 2007 to over 1 million metric tonnes in 2022, and urged for collaboration rather than control. “I think it’s monopolistic. I think a market should be protected to encourage growth. The LPG industry in Nigeria grew from 70,000 metric tonnes in 2007 to over 1.3 million tonnes in 2022. That was done by collaboration — collaboration with the Federal Government, the NLNG, and offtakers. Everything was done in collaboration. It grew from 70,000 to 250 to 800, and now over a million,” Okoduwa said. He emphasized that growth comes from collaboration, not monopoly. “Today, we are just under 5kg or 6kg per capita consumption in terms of LPG. Other countries are doing much more. South Africa is doing double digits, Morocco and Tunisia are doing double digits. We can do much more. “So, we should, as an industry and as a country, focus on how to grow the LPG industry and not allow someone (to frustrate the players). Yes, he has invested; yes, it’s a capital economy, but he should not be allowed to frustrate the players. “There are people who have spent money, spent resources, even business and development, and someone just comes in to reap from the work that has been done. I’m sure he wouldn’t have built if there had not been an existing market. The work has been done, he should respect the market and let us grow. It shouldn’t be a zero-sum strategy. It should be collaborative,” he said. The gas expert recommended that while Dangote holds a significant advantage, he should opt for a collaborative approach. ”My advice to him is that the pie can be bigger. The Nigerian market is about 1.3 million tonnes. The Nigerian LPG market can be 5 million tonnes. He should work towards collaboration rather than competition, because at the end of the day, everybody benefits,” he added. When informed that Dangote’s primary goal is to make cooking gas affordable for all and reduce reliance on firewood, Okoduwa responded, “I have news for him. He should go to the Northeast, where you have the least consumption of LPG. He should go to the Northeast and start developing the LPG infrastructure there. I think we will tell him thank you for that.” Likewise, Bassey Essien, Executive Secretary and CEO of the Nigerian Association of Liquefied Petroleum Gas Marketers, expressed doubt over Dangote’s ability to sell gas directly to consumers or significantly reduce the price. ”l am saying that it’s unrealistic. What is the position with PMS? Has the refinery been able to sell petrol directly to you and me into our cars at a very cheap rate?” Essien asked. The refinery, poised to become a key supplier of refined products across West Africa, remains at the center of ongoing debate over its potential impact on domestic pricing and market competition. Experts observe that while Dangote’s strategy to lower LPG prices could bring temporary relief to consumers, it also sparks important concerns around regulation, market access, and fair competition in the industry. So far, the Federal Government has not addressed the possible regulatory consequences of the refinery’s plan to enter the LPG retail market directly.
Two-time T20 World Cup champion Andre Russell will retire from international cricket at the age of 37, following the second T20 match against Australia on July 22 in his hometown of Kingston, Jamaica, Cricket West Indies (CWI) announced on Wednesday.
Russell, a dynamic all-rounder, was part of the West Indies squads that clinched the T20 World Cup titles in 2012 and 2016. Over the course of his T20 international career, he earned 84 caps, scoring three half-centuries and claiming 61 wickets.
A white-ball specialist, Russell played only one Test match but made 56 appearances in One-Day Internationals (ODIs), taking 70 wickets. His last ODI outing came in 2019.
“Words cannot express what this journey has meant to me. Representing the West Indies has been one of the greatest honours of my life,” Russell said in a statement. “As a child, I never imagined reaching this level, but as I played more and grew to love the game, I realized the possibilities. That inspired me to keep improving because I wanted to make my mark in maroon and become a role model for others.”
Known for his powerful performances in T20 leagues around the world, Russell recently featured in the U.S.-based Major League Cricket. He expressed a desire to end his international career on a high note.
West Indies head coach Daren Sammy paid tribute to Russell’s impact on the game, saying, “His desire to perform and win for the West Indies has never faded. I wish him nothing but success in this next chapter, and may he continue to inspire future generations.”
The West Indies will host Australia in the opening match of the five-game T20 series this Sunday in Kingston. Australia recently completed a 3-0 sweep in the Test series.
All-Star midfielder Evander made history on Wednesday night, setting an FC Cincinnati record by scoring in his fifth consecutive match during a commanding 3-0 victory over visiting Inter Miami.
Evander struck early in the second half, doubling Cincinnati’s lead with a precise left-footed finish from the center of the box into the bottom right corner. He added a second later in the half, bringing his MLS regular-season goal tally to 15, after being denied on several first-half attempts.
Miami’s attack faltered against Cincinnati’s rock-solid defense, ending the Herons’ impressive five-game winning streak and marking their first regular-season loss since May 18.
Cincinnati got on the board in the 16th minute through Gerardo Valenzuela, who netted his fourth goal of the season with a low, left-footed strike from the left side of the box.
The hosts controlled much of the first half and the six minutes of stoppage time, registering seven shots (four on target) before halftime. They ended the night with 11 total shots, six on goal.
Cincinnati’s back line effectively neutralized Lionel Messi and the Miami attack. Messi had two promising chances late in the first half—one blocked by defender Lukas Engel, the other saved by a diving Roman Celentano.
Celentano finished with two saves and earned his seventh clean sheet of the season. On the other end, Miami goalkeepers Oscar Ustari and Rocco Rios Novo combined for four saves in a match dominated by the Eastern Conference leaders.
With the win, FC Cincinnati improved to 14-6-3 (45 points), while Inter Miami fell to 11-4-5 (38 points).
