AFCON 2025 Qualifier: Nwabali Trolls Libya Over Time-Wasting Antics

Stanley Nwabali, the Super Eagles goalkeeper, has trolled the Mediterranean Knights of Libya for their time-wasting antics.

Nasser Al-Hadiri’s side frustrated the Super Eagles by feigning fouls on different occasions during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Uyo on Friday.

Nigeria won the game 1-0 with Lazio midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru netting the decisive goal four minutes from time.

Commenting on the time wasting tactics used by the Libyans, Nwabali wrote in pidgin with a laughing emoji on his X handle: “Who come wise pass?” This translates to mean, ‘Who is the wiser person now?’, referring to how the Libyans tried to play smart by wasting time.

Libya will host the Super Eagles in a matchday four encounter in Benina next week Tuesday.

A win in the game will see the Super Eagles seal a place at the AFCON 2025 finals which will be hosted by Morocco.

Beef Is Normal In The Music Industry – Fireboy

Nigerian singer and songwriter, Adedamola Oyinlola Adefolahan, popularly known as Fireboy has spoken about the feud in the music industry.

In an interview on City FM, he emphasized that disagreements are natural since artists are human.

“Everyone should just focus on what concerns them. Let artists be artists, fans be fans, and the media keep telling the stories,” Fireboy said.

Speaking about recent conflicts, including the one between Wizkid and Davido, Fireboy remarked, “Beef is just part of life. We are all human.”

He also expressed his preference for staying away from such drama.

Fireboy discussed his latest album, ‘Adedamola,’ which includes collaborations with Lagbaja, Jon Baptiste, Seun Kuti, and Spinall.

He mentioned that the idea to work with Lagbaja and Seun Kuti came from Olamide, the leader of YBNL and executive producer of the album.

Disputes among Nigerian artists are not uncommon, with past feuds between acts like Ruger and BNXN, who later reconciled and released a joint EP titled ‘RnB.’

However, tensions between artists like Davido and Burna Boy, and more recently Wizkid and Davido, remain unresolved.

AFCON Qualifiers: Osimhen Is Spiritually With Us Against Libya – Eguavoen Says

In preparation for Nigeria’s Super Eagles Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Libya in Uyo on Friday, coach Austin Eguavoen stated that the team has sufficient firepower to compensate for Victor Osimhen’s absence.

Osimhen would not feature in the two-legged tie after suffering an injury during Galatasaray’s Super Lig encounter against Kasımpaşa on September 28.

The diagnosis revealed a strain and minor bleeding in his left posterior muscle group and that meant he will not recover in time for the trip to Uyo.
In his pre-match interaction with the media, Eguavoen said although Osimhen is a key part of the team, there are those who will step up to the challenge.

“It’s a huge miss. We all know how important and impactful Osimhen can be, but we have other players who can fit into his shoes. He’s not here physically, but I am 100% sure he is here spiritually with us,” Eguavoen told NFF TV.

After Friday’s game at the Godswill Akpabio stadium in Uyo, the Super Eagles will travel to fulfil the reverse fixture next Tuesday, October 15.

Nigeria currently tops Group D with four point from two games.

Tomorrow’s fixture will kick-off 5 PM Nigeria time.
