LaLiga: Rashford shines as Barcelona return to form with win over Elche

Marcus Rashford was on target as Barcelona bounced back from their El Clasico defeat with a 3-1 victory over Elche at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Montjuïc.

Hansi Flick’s side made their intentions clear early on, taking control of the game from the first whistle. On nine minutes, Lamine Yamal broke the deadlock scoring a composed finish inside the area after a neat pass from Alejandro Balde.

Early double advantage

Just two minutes later, Ferran Torres doubled Barcelona’s lead, tapping in from close range after Fermin Lopez punished a defensive lapse from Elche.

The visitors, however, pulled one back before the break through Rafa Mir, who timed his run perfectly to beat the offside trap and curl a fine effort beyond Wojciech Szczesny.

Rashford’s thunderbolt restores control

Barcelona regained a comfortable lead in the 60th minute when Marcus Rashford, on loan from Manchester United, unleashed a thunderous strike that rattled in off the woodwork.

Flick gets key players back

Manager Flick introduced Dani Olmo and Robert Lewandowski late on, marking their return from injury. Elche pressed in the closing stages, with Mir striking the crossbar, but Barcelona held firm to secure all three points.

The victory lifts Barcelona back to second place in La Liga, five points adrift of leaders Real Madrid, as they turn their focus to Club Brugge in Wednesday’s Champions League clash.

EPL: Haaland double fires Man City past Bournemouth

Erling Haaland returned to scoring form with a decisive brace as Manchester City defeated Bournemouth 3-1 to reclaim second place in the Premier League and close the gap on leaders Arsenal to six points.

Pep Guardiola’s men were looking to bounce back after last weekend’s 2-0 loss to Aston Villa, a match that saw Haaland fail to score for only the second time this season.

The Norwegian responded emphatically, proving once again why he remains City’s most lethal weapon.

Early scare, swift response

Bournemouth thought they had the perfect start when teenager Eli Junior Kroupi found the net after just 44 seconds, only for the goal to be ruled out for offside.

City capitalised soon after, as Rayan Cherki’s clever header released Haaland, who calmly slotted past Djordje Petrovic in the 17th minute to make it 1-0.

The hosts’ lead was short-lived, though, as Tyler Adams pounced on a poor punch from Gianluigi Donnarumma to smash home an equaliser, his first goal in English football.

Haaland restores control

City’s dominance soon resurfaced. Cherki again combined brilliantly with Haaland, who rounded the goalkeeper and finished with composure for his 13th league goal of the campaign and 26th across all competitions.

The striker came close to a hat-trick before the break but was denied by Petrovic’s sharp save.

O’Reilly seals the win

After Kroupi forced Donnarumma into another stop, City struck the killer blow on the hour mark. Midfielder Nico O’Reilly surged forward and buried a low shot into the corner to seal an assured victory for Guardiola’s side.

The win puts Manchester City back on track after their stumble at Villa Park, while Bournemouth’s run hits a temporary setback despite another spirited performance.

Money Laundering Allegations: Retract Your Statement Or I Sue You – Jarvis Issues Waring To Peller

Jarvis, the popular Nigerian TikTok creator, has threatened legal action against fellow content creator Peller over allegations connecting her to money laundering activities on the platform.

Recall that the controversy began after Peller, during a recent livestream, claimed that money laundering was being carried out through TikTok’s gifting feature and hinted that Jarvis might be part of it.

Peller also shared an experience where a supporter allegedly proposed splitting proceeds from TikTok gifts equally, which he claimed was a common method people use to disguise illicit funds.

Shortly after, the two creators were seen interacting online again, suggesting they might have reconciled privately.

However, Jarvis’s management, Aiso Entertainment, released a statement on Sunday dismissing the claims as false and damaging to her image.

The team stated that Jarvis had never been involved in any form of illegal financial activity and demanded that Peller issue a public apology within 48 hours.

The management warned that if Peller failed to retract his words, they would take legal steps to protect Jarvis’s reputation.

The team insisted that the allegation was not only defamatory but also a deliberate attempt to tarnish her name.

The statement read in part: “The management of Jadrolita, alongside Jadrolita herself, unequivocally and categorically refutes this egregious claim in its entirety.

“She has Never engaged in any form of illicit financial conduct.

“We hereby demand that Peller and his management issue an immediate, unconditional, and publicly disseminated apology to Jadrolita and her team.”

Nigerian TikToker Star, Jarvis Fumes As Peller Accuses Her Of Money Laundering In Heated Clash

Popular TikTok duo Habeeb ‘Peller’ Hamzat and Jarvis, widely known as Jadrolita, are back in the spotlight after yet another online confrontation.

The dispute erupted after both influencers shared emotional videos online, publicly voicing their grievances about their troubled relationship.

The clash touched on sensitive matters such as Jarvis’ estranged father, issues surrounding phone privacy, and claims of financial impropriety.

In her emotional outburst, Jarvis was seen in tears as she accused Peller of being controlling and unsympathetic, especially regarding her wish to reconnect with the father she never met.

She explained that any time she mentioned wanting to find her father, Peller would insinuate “issues of incest,” which she described as deeply painful.

“I told him I met some people concerning my dad. He said ‘anything that would make you see your dad, I will not love you again.’ I realised he was serious. He talked about the story of what fathers and daughters do,” she said.

“Immediately, he said that I needed the call. I broke down. I have an emotion. If you want to marry someone, do you not want to know where the girl is actually from? Every time, I was always saying grandma.

“Why would you say something like that without remorse? He is overprotective. Anytime I want to share something delicate, he does not take me seriously.

”About my dad. Someone I am still longing to see. Someone I have never met. I do not have my father’s love.

But I feel if I had, the nonsense that Peller is doing, he would not do it.”

Responding to her claims, Peller countered by accusing Jarvis of being secretive and overly protective of her phone, saying she often changes her password and has removed his facial recognition access.

“Since we went to Senegal, Jarvis has changed her password like three times. Jarvis’ face is on my phone. My face is no longer on her phone. I asked her why she was changing her password, she said it was her privacy,” he said.

“I have never changed my password since the time I was at Ikorodu.”

Peller further alleged that Jarvis was involved in what he described as “money laundering” through her TikTok live sessions, claiming she told him that some of her major gifters demand a 50/50 share of the cash value from their gifts.

“When Jarvis came to Lagos to meet me, I thought she was far richer than I. When she was talking from her own house, no one stopped her,” he said.

“… that time, Jarvis came to me and said that those gifts she received those times, her gifters always ask her to split the money.

“If you gift me and you think we are going to split the proceeds, I will not give you. I saw the results of her at the time when I thought she would be a billionaire, but she said they were splitting her money.

“Someone once approached me too, asking me to split the proceeds from the gift he gave me during a live stream. I blocked the person after telling him that I gave him the popularity he asked for.

“If you gift me, let it come from your heart. If you gift me because you want to share it 50/50 equally with me, I will not do it. That is money laundering.

“All of the people accusing me of doing money laundering, I cannot do it. Do I look like someone who can do it? That is why I do not stay too long on the livestream.

“But they did it for her. She came to me. And I promised her that everything will be alright. I started giving her targets. I would even send her money to meet her target.

“I try my best to show love. My management would tell me I care too much about someone who does not care about me. I cannot say Jarvis does not love me. But when it comes to business, she forgets that I am even in the picture.

“There was an incident involving her and her ex, where she had to go to the police station. The police told her to bring N3 million.”

As of now, Jarvis has not issued a public response to the money laundering claims.

Sowore Explains Why Trump’s Planned Military Action In Nigeria Shouldn’t Be Celebrated

Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has explained why the threat by US President Donald Trump’s administration to launch a military invasion in Nigeria should not be seen as a positive development.

Recall that Trump had warned that if the Nigerian government fails to tackle the alleged massacre of Christians, the US military would intervene to target those allegedly persecuting Christians.

The development has generated mixed reactions, with some stakeholders, particularly Christians, celebrating Trump’s move.

However, Sowore, in a statement on Sunday, cautioned that the threat should not be celebrated, explaining that a military intervention could cause more harm to the nation.

According to him, the US President “does not care about Nigerians, not Christians, Muslims, or anyone else.”

Sowore stressed that the nation’s deliverance will “never come from abroad; it must come from within, through real leadership, not the Tinubus of this world, and national renewal.”

The statement reads: “The latest threat by US President Donald Trump @POTUS to launch military action in Nigeria, allegedly to protect Christians, may sound appealing to some. Still, history has shown this to be perilous.

Whether you are Christian, Muslim, animist, or non-religious, no one should celebrate such rhetoric. The United States and its allies have a long record of military interventions that leave nations more unstable than before.

They failed to secure peace in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, or Syria, and they will not bring salvation to Nigeria through bombs or boots on the ground.

What Nigeria truly needs is not a foreign savior, but legitimate accountable leadership, one that protects all citizens, upholds justice, and ends the cycles of corruption and violence that have left the nation broken.”

No Valid Charge, No Jurisdiction, No Justice Against Nnamdi Kanu – Rights Activists

A coalition of rights activists under the banner of Rising Sun Survival Outreach has claimed that the Nigerian government has no legitimate case against Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Rising Sun made the declaration in a statement jointly signed by Rev. Fr. Augustine Odimmegwa and Mazi Maxwell Dede. The statement was made available to journalists in Umuahia on Sunday.

The group in the same vein declared that the Abuja Federal High Court lacked the jurisdiction to prosecute Kanu, adding that justice cannot be dispensed in the ongoing trial of the IPOB leader.

Stressing that Kanu should not continue to be in detention, the activists noted that the law under which the Biafra agitator was charged had been repealed.

They also argued that Kanu was illegally abducted in Kenya to face trial in Nigeria, and had already been acquitted by the Court of Appeal.

The statement titled ‘No valid charge. No jurisdiction. No justice’, read, “We, the people, are saying it loud and clear: Mazi Nnamdi Kanu should not be in detention for one more day. He was abducted, not extradited. The law is clear — when a man is taken illegally from another country, no court in Nigeria has any right to try him. He was charged under a dead law — the old Terrorism Prevention (Amendment) Act 2013 that no longer exists. You cannot revive a repealed law to persecute someone.

“The Court of Appeal discharged him, yet the DSS keeps him locked up in total disregard for that ruling. And now the Supreme Court has abandoned its own principle of finality — when a higher court says “discharged,” that’s the end of the matter.

“But they bent the rules just to keep him trapped. Let’s call it what it is — a shameful abuse of justice.

“Why the law says he must be freed:
1. Unlawful rendition = No trial. 2. No valid charge exists. 3. Fair hearing denied. 4. Double jeopardy breached. 5. Supreme Court failed its own doctrine. 6. International law is on his side.

“Justice cannot survive where the law is ignored. Freedom cannot breathe when truth is buried. According to the Appeal Court, no court in Nigeria can put Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to trial because he was kidnapped from Kenya and brought forcefully to Nigeria. That amounts to gross violation of the International law. We are not asking for favours — we are demanding justice under the law. If one man’s rights can be trampled, no one is safe. Justice for one = Justice for all. #FreeMNKNow.”

Sometimes I Just Want S*x, Want To Get Laid – Nigerian Actress, Olayode Juliana Opens Up On Struggles With Celibacy

Juliana Olayode, the Nollywood actress, has opened up about her personal journey of maintaining celibacy while building her acting career.

The actress, known for her role in Jenifa’s Diary, spoke about her struggles through a post on her Instagram page, revealing that staying celibate is not as easy as many people assume.

She explained that there are moments when she feels the urge to be intimate with men but chooses to resist because of her commitment to God.

Juliana said that her decision to remain celibate also affects her professional life, as she carefully considers every movie role offered to her, especially those that require intimate scenes.

She explained that her values and faith guide her choices, even when the pressure from both personal desires and the entertainment industry becomes intense.

According to her, living in a world filled with moral temptations makes it harder to stay committed to purity, but her love for God keeps her determined to uphold her principles.

She wrote: “Sometimes I just want s*x, I want to get laid. when people talk to me about s*x purity etc. I wonder if they think I don’t have blood flowing in my veins. It’s not that I don’t want to be touched, it’s not that I don’t want to have all these feelings/desires. It’s not that I don’t cuddle, it not that I don’t want to be kited, it’s would say to me. Not that I don’t want to have a “hot s*x” like some.

“It’s just that more than anything I love and honor God!. And I hate to hurt Him. Everyday I have to make a choice, apart from my relationship with the opposite s*x and sometimes same s*x. Because sadly, we live in a world full of perverts. I have to make a choice in my career as well! Should I take the role or should I not take it?.”

NDLEA Uncovers Illegal Colorado Drug Lab In Lagos, Arrests 30-Year-Old Suspect (Photos)

Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have uncovered a secret laboratory producing Colorado, a potent synthetic cannabis, inside a residential building at Ajao Estate, Isolo, Lagos, arresting 30-year-old Stephen Kelechi Imoh.

According to a statement by the NDLEA on Saturday, the discovery followed months of intelligence gathering after officers intercepted consignments of freshly produced Colorado (Colos) in March and May 2025, indicating that the drug, once imported, was now being locally manufactured.

“The breakthrough came on Thursday, October 30, when NDLEA operatives raided a residential apartment converted into a laboratory for producing Colos,” the statement said.

Recovered items from the building included 16.2kg of freshly cooked Colos, 1.7kg of ADB-CHMNACA Cannabinol, 4.5kg of Potassium Carbonate, and 91 litres of Dibromobutane, all chemicals used in producing synthetic cannabis.

In a separate operation on Saturday, November 1, NDLEA officers stormed the den of a 28-year-old drug dealer, Afeez Salisu (alias Malu), in Mushin, Lagos, seizing 16 compressed blocks of Ghana Loud (another cannabis strain) and designer sachets and bottles of Colorado weighing 16.4kg.

The agency also arrested a 20-year-old music artist, Godspower George Osahenrumwen, popularly known as Steady Boy, for attempting to collect a shipment of cannabis imported from the United States.

The consignment, concealed inside three cartons of bathtubs, arrived at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja, aboard a DHL flight on October 28.

Steady Boy was apprehended at Bougain Villa, Primewater Gardens 2, Freedom Way, Lekki, when he showed up to collect the 140 bags of Loud, weighing 77.2kg, on behalf of a syndicate led by his manager, Zion Osazee Omigie (alias Zee Money), who remains at large.

In Kaduna, NDLEA operatives intercepted 84,710 capsules of Tramadol being transported from Onitsha, Anambra State, to Bauchi. A follow-up operation led to the arrest of 27-year-old Musa Abdulkarim.

Two days later, 47-year-old Hamza Musa was arrested at the Abuja-Kaduna tollgate with 32,946 bottles of Akuskura, a new psychoactive substance (NPS), while 30-year-old Saidu Nafiu was caught with 131.5kg of skunk in Igabi LGA, Kaduna State.

In Ogun State, NDLEA officers intercepted a bus along Abiola Way, Abeokuta, arresting Seun Olaniyi (24), Rauf Asogba (28), and Ayinla Adeniyi (50) with 1,779kg of skunk traced from Benin Republic.

In Bauchi, operatives seized 596.4kg of skunk from Jamilu Mustapha (alias Last Card), while 532,600 pills of Tramadol and Exol-5 were recovered from three suspects in Ilorin, Kwara State, inside a truck marked KTG-791ZZ.

In Edo State, NDLEA operatives intercepted two Toyota Sienna buses on October 29 at Okhokho-Isi community, Uhunmwode LGA, recovering 1,455kg of skunk.

Similarly, in Ondo State, officers recovered 2,829kg of skunk linked to a 32-year-old woman, Mrs. Ige Olarewaju, from two locations in Ayede, Ogbese, while another suspect, Samuel Adebayo, was arrested with 737kg of the same substance at Adegbola Junction, Akure.

At Ibereko, Badagry, Lagos, 50-year-old Ige Oluwale was caught with 76.5 litres of “skuchies”, a cocktail of blackcurrant, skunk, and opioids.

In Taraba State, two men, Musbahu Abdullahi (28) and Saleiman Ahmed (25) — were arrested in Wukari with 30,370 pills of Tramadol and 177 grams of methamphetamine, reportedly being moved from Onitsha to Yola, Adamawa State.

Meanwhile, the NDLEA continued its War Against Drug Abuse (WADA) campaign across the country, holding sensitisation sessions in secondary schools, religious institutions, and workplaces.

The outreach covered Aroje/Abaa Community High School, Ogbomoso (Oyo State); Amazing Flower Secondary School, Ikorodu (Lagos); Government Day Secondary School, Ilelah (Sokoto); and several others across Kano and Jigawa States.

The NDLEA Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Brigadier General Mohamed Buba Marwa (retd.), commended officers of the MMIA, Lagos, Kaduna, Edo, Kwara, Ogun, Taraba, Ondo, Seme, and Bauchi Commands for their professionalism and resilience.

“The NDLEA will continue to target and dismantle every identified drug syndicate in any part of Nigeria.

“We will also ensure that offenders forfeit all traceable assets to the Federal Government. Our fight is not only to seize drugs but to cripple the economic base of these criminal networks,” Marwa said

NNPCL Reduces Fuel Price As Dangote Refinery Supply Glitch Eases

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) on Saturday reduced the petrol pump price as supply challenges at the Dangote Refinery began to ease.

The state-owned oil firm adjusted the retail fuel price to N945 per litre, down from N955.

This means that NNPCL decreased its petrol price by N10 on Saturday.

The fresh price reduction has been implemented at NNPCL retail outlets in Gwarimpa and Wuse Zone 4.

Similarly, the Nigerian filling station in Abuja, Eterna, also recently reduced its pump price to N945 per litre.

This development follows improved fuel supply nationwide through the Dangote Refinery and petroleum product importers.

More than two weeks ago, a supply glitch at the Dangote Refinery led to a nationwide fuel price hike.

Recall that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu recently approved the implementation of a 15 per cent import tax on petrol and diesel, a move that may lead to increased fuel prices nationwide.
