Renowned rapper Olamide has opened up about the significant role the late indigenous rapper Dagrin played in shaping his career.

Speaking on the impacts of Dagrin in a recent video broadcast, the YBNL boss admitted that the late rapper influenced him and a lot of other rappers.

Only In Disgraced Country – Peter Obi Slams Govt Over Unpaid Super Eagles Allowances

Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has slammed the Federal Government over reports that the Super Eagles are being owed allowances, calling the situation a reflection of a “now disgraced nation.”

Obi’s reaction follows concerns raised by Super Eagles midfielder, Alex Iwobi, who shared a video showing the reportedly poor state of the team’s accommodation in Rabat, Morocco, ahead of their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying playoff against Gabon.

In a statement on Tuesday via X, Obi said it was “truly unfortunate” that players who “consistently give their best in representing our dear nation” are being owed their entitlements, even as the government continues to spend lavishly on “needless political patronage.”

He lamented that the neglect of national athletes sends the wrong message to Nigerian youth, adding that those who serve the country “deserve to be paid promptly and treated with respect.”

Obi urged authorities to “do better” and prioritise the welfare of the nation’s representatives.

He said: “It is truly unfortunate that our Super Eagles who consistently give their best in representing our dear nation, are being owed their allowances.

“We always seem to find money to waste on needless lavish spending and political patronage, yet we cannot pay those who patriotically raise our flag, bring us pride, and serve with dedication. That is what is found in a “now disgraced country”.

“When those who serve their country are not treated with dignity, it sends the wrong message to our youth, that hard work and service are not rewarded. Those who represent Nigeria deserves to be paid promptly and treated with respect. We must do better”.

Nigeria vs Gabon: Mikel Obi Lists Three Things Super Eagles Must Do

Former Super Eagles captain John Mikel Obi has outlined three key things Eric Chelle’s team must do when they face Gabon in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying playoff on Thursday in Morocco.

Obi Mikel urged the Super Eagles to approach their match against Gabon with confidence, bravery, and passion, adding that they should be proud to wear the green and white colors of Nigeria.

The winner of the encounter between Nigeria and Gabon will face the winner between Cameroon and DR Congo in the playoff final on Sunday.

“Go in the game, play as we should, with full confidence, bravery, and passion, knowing you’re wearing the green white green, the badge of that green white green is huge,” Obi Mikel, a former Chelsea midfielder, said on the Obi One Podcast Channel.

“300 million people, that is a lot of pressure, but you have to deal with it. I know they can do it, and I believe in them.”

Nigeria heads to the game after defeating the Benin Republic in their last game, while Gabon won against Burundi.

2026 World Cup Will Be My Last – Ronaldo

Superstar footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed next year’s World Cup would be his last.

He gave the hint on Tuesday. The 40-year-old forward, with more than 950 club and international goals, also said he would retire from football in “one or two years”.
 
“Definitely, yes,” he told a Saudi forum by video link, when asked if 2026 would be his World Cup swansong. “I’m gonna be 41 years old and I think it will be the moment.”
 
Ronaldo, who began a lucrative stint at Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr in 2023, also elaborated on comments last week when he said he would retire “soon”.
 
“Let’s be honest, when I mean soon, it’s probably one or two years I’ll still be at the game,” he said.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner is targeting a sixth World Cup next year. He came closest to lifting the trophy in 2006, when Portugal lost to France in the semi-finals.
Portugal have yet to qualify for the 2026 tournament in the USA, Canada and Mexico, but can secure their spot if they beat Ireland on Thursday.
Ronaldo joined Al Nassr after leaving Manchester United for a second time in late 2022, a move that heralded a influx of late-career stars to the oil-rich kingdom.

EFCC Adds Ex-Minister, Sylva On FBI, Interpol Watchlist

After declaring a former Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva, wanted over an alleged conspiracy and dishonest conversion of $14,859,257, the EFCC has now added his name to FBI and Interpol wanted list.

Recall that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had on Monday declared Sylva wanted.

In a public notice, EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, said the funds were provided by the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) for investment in Atlantic International Refinery and Petrochemical Limited.
Senior EFCC officials confirmed to Punch that the former minister has been placed on the watchlists of global security agencies, including the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Interpol, the United Kingdom Metropolitan Police, and security authorities in Canada and other countries.
A credible EFCC source familiar with the matter said the case had been ongoing for years.
“The case has been on for a long time. The former minister was visiting our office until he later stopped. So, now that we have declared him wanted, he has also been placed on the watchlists of the US FBI, Interpol, and other security agencies,” the source said.
According to Oyewale, the commission secured a Federal High Court arrest warrant on November 6, 2025.
Justice D. I. Dipeolu granted the order, directing security agencies to arrest Sylva and bring him before the EFCC to answer to the alleged criminal offences.
