BREAKING: AFCON 2025 Postponed Due To Club World Cup

The Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) scheduled for 2025 in Morocco has been rescheduled to January 2026.

The tournament will be delayed by six months, as it clashes with the expanded 32-team Club World Cup.

AFCON 2025 was originally scheduled to take place in June, but the Club World Cup is set to be played in the United States from June 15 to July 13.

CAF’s general secretary, Veron Mosengo-Omba, told BBC that the AFCON would now be held in early 2026, acknowledging the pressing issue of scheduling conflicts.

Mosengo-Omba highlighted concerns regarding player welfare, questioning the feasibility of players participating in both the Club World Cup and the AFCON consecutively.

“For the men, we need to make sure that the dates that we’ll be choosing will be in the interests of the players.

“For this, we need to balance different aspects and also discuss with our partners and then we complete [the dates]. Scheduling is a nightmare for everybody,” Mosengo-Omba said.

Why I Stopped Doing Giveaways – Don Jazzy

MAVINS Records boss, Don Jazzy has opened up on why he stopped doing giveaways online.

He explained that the decision was due to criticisms from individuals on social media platform X, who called for an end to the practice.

A fan, Temi, had suggested that the economic hardship in the country might be the reason for Don Jazzy’s halt in giveaways.

However, Don Jazzy clarified that his financial situation remains stable, but he chose to discontinue the giveaways based on the consensus among Nigerians on X that it was the best course of action.

In the past, Don Jazzy was known for generously giving out N200,000 each to 10 individuals, often favoring those in the crypto or tech fields.

Despite his financial stability, he has opted to discontinue this practice, aligning with the perceived wishes of the online community.

Don Jazzy replied:

Stop Misleading Ladies — Portable Hits Saida Boj Over S3x-for-Money Remark

Portable has slammed controversial influencer, Saida Boj.
Portable lashed out at Saida over her recent controversial remarks about s3x and dating.

In a recent interview, Saida said any man who gives her N20 million will be allowed to “explore” any part of her body.

The influencer also described men as “cheap”, adding that she is “always happy” when women divorce their husbands.
Saida’s remarks, however, sparked mixed reactions on social media. While some users heavily criticised the influencer for misleading young women, others defended her.
Joining the fray, Portable, in a video shared via his Instagram page on Monday, warned the influencer, adding that she is becoming a “nuisance on social media”.
The singer also cautioned Saida not to “mislead ladies” with her controversial remarks while using derogatory terms to address her.
“Please help me tell Saida that she is fast becoming a social media nuisance. You people should tell her. This Saida you are seeing is a lover girl. If I should get hold of her, nurse her and lodge her, she would not leave there in six months,” he said.
 
“It is money she would eat. Tell Saida to know what she is doing, she is already talking too much. Do not spoil other girls lives, the words you are saying could ruin the lives of single ladies. Do not spoil the lives of our daughters, even Saida is still a child.
 
“Which life has she enjoyed? Even if we were talking about women’s bodies, is it your now your own we will be talking about. You! A prostitute, wife to a thief.”

I Lost Money Due to Labour Strike, But I’m With Them – Falz

Nigerian rapper, Folarin Falana, aka Falz has said he’s in support of the ongoing strike by the labour unions even though he has lost money.
According to him, the strike is affecting his business, but he is in support of their cause.

Recall that the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and the Trade Union Congress, TUC, embarked on an indefinite strike on Monday to force the government to agree on a new minimum wage for workers and reevaluate the increase in electricity prices for certain consumers.
Falz said the strike made him stranded in Uyo as his return flight to Lagos was cancelled due to the closure of airports.
He explained that he also lost money he spent organizing a video shoot because he couldn’t make it to Lagos for the shoot.
The rapper, however, said he understands the reasons for the strike, adding that he is in support of the labour unions’ demands.
Speaking in a video message shared via his Instagram account, Falz said, “I woke up this morning, set out for the airport only to hear that the airport is closed, all the flights are cancelled because of the strike action. I can’t make it to Lagos, now stuck in Uyo.
 
“It affected me because there is a video shoot I’m supposed to do in Lagos today, I ended up losing money because we have already booked stuff, so we are going to have to pay another amount. Despite the fact that it really affected me, I understand the reason for the strike and I’m with them. I am with the labour. In fact, this strike is supposed to happen earlier than now.”
