Man City end pursuit of €100m Real Madrid star Rodrygo

Manchester City have reportedly pulled out of the race to sign Real Madrid forward Rodrygo Goes, insist on keeping Savinho.

Pep Guardiola’s side had identified the 23-year-old as a potential replacement for Savinho, who was attracting strong interest from Tottenham.

However, Spurs’ reluctance to meet City’s valuation for Savinho has forced the Premier League champions to shut the door on his departure, and in turn, on Rodrygo’s possible arrival.

But with the winger now staying at the Etihad, Rodrygo’s prospects of joining City have collapsed.

Liverpool and Arsenal remain the other major contenders for the Madrid star, though both have conditions attached to a move.

Liverpool are monitoring Rodrygo as a fallback option should their pursuit of Alexander Isak fail, while Arsenal’s interest hinges on whether they can offload players and conclude a deal for Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze.

Rodrygo, who has been central to Real Madrid’s attack in recent seasons, may now be forced to weigh his options, especially after Madrid boss, Xabi Alonso waved off his transfer “noise”.

VeryDarkMan storms Auchi, blocks Dangote trucks over unpaid medical bills of accident victim

Social activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), on Monday led a protest in Auchi, Edo State, blocking Dangote trucks from plying the roads until the company takes responsibility for accident victims.

VDM, alongside students of Auchi Polytechnic, demanded justice for Ruth Otabor, sister of BBNaija winner Phyna, whose leg was amputated after she was crushed by a Dangote truck just days after her graduation.

In videos shared online, the activist was seen addressing a large crowd of students, insisting that Dangote must not only settle Ruth’s medical bills but also provide compensation for other victims of similar accidents.

The protest came on the heels of another tragic incident involving a Dangote truck.

Just a day earlier, three people lost their lives near Omega Fire Ministry, Auchi, when a Dangote truck and another vehicle rammed into a Mercedes Benz GLK.

Reacting to the incident, Apostle Johnson Suleman, General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministry, condemned the tragedy, describing it as “an avoidable loss of lives caused by reckless driving.”

VDM, angered by the recurring crashes, vowed that Dangote trucks would not be allowed to ply Auchi roads until justice is served and adequate compensation is given to the victims.

Netizens Reactions…

@onlylaceclothings commented; “VDM is doing very well I swear.”

@ceejay_best said: “VDM most important person on this internet.”

Inter end pursuit of Ademola Lookman

Inter Milan have abandoned their move for Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman after negotiations with Atalanta collapsed.

The Nerazzurri are now set to officially notify the player’s camp that the deal is off, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Inter officials are expected to meet Lookman’s representatives within 24 hours to provide clarity, bringing an end to two weeks of stalled discussions.

Club sources also dismissed speculation that Lookman’s situation was tied to Nicola Zalewski’s potential switch from Roma to Atalanta, stressing the two transfers were unrelated.

Lookman, 26, has been instrumental for Atalanta since arriving from RB Leipzig in 2022, impressing both in Serie A and Europe.

He also starred for Nigeria at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, scoring three goals en route to the Super Eagles’ run to the final.

Inter had viewed him as a versatile option to bolster their forward line, but with negotiations deadlocked, the club will now shift focus to alternative targets before the transfer window closes.

Why I Took A Break From Acting – Bimbo Thomas

Nollywood actress, Bimbo Thomas, has revealed why she reduced her appearances in movies.

The Omo Ghetto The Saga star explained that she wanted to avoid being limited to a single type of character.

She said many producers were offering her similar roles repeatedly, which made her feel restricted.

626Blaze reports that the actress said that she is capable of playing different roles, ranging from polished characters to street-style performances, and should not be seen only in one way.

She also explained that while she can deliver lines in pidgin English, it is not her natural style of speaking since she did not grow up in that environment.

She said; “I felt they wanted to box me, they wanted to put me in a corner.

“One minute I’m speaking phonetically, the next I do ghetto and so on.

“I wasn’t born in the barracks, so pidgin isn’t my thing.”

In other news, Nollywood actress Lilian Esoro has urged people to value true friendship and avoid betrayal in the face of personal challenges or relationships.

In a post on her Instagram story, she stressed the importance of standing by friends, especially during difficult times, instead of abandoning them for selfish reasons.

626Blaze reports that she warned that while certain situations might seem comfortable at the moment, they do not always last.
