Nigeria in this match missed the services of midfielders Ngozi Okobi-Okoeghene, Halimatu Ayinde as well as captain Onome Ebi.

However, some national under-20 team players were invited to join the squad.

But this was not enough to avoid a defeat at the Children’s Mercy Park in Kansas City in Missouri.

    Serena Williams looked stunning in a hot pink
    suit when she hit the Michael Kors show in New York City on Wednesday.

    The 40-year-old tennis pro sat in the exclusive front row
    next to legendary 72-year-old Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour who usually
    keeps a poker face during runway shows.

    While seated side by side, the athlete impressively got the
    British star to lighten up by laughing as they joked around.

    And Wintour has also worked with Serena, having put the Compton, California native on the

    Serena looked toned and slim in her suit as she added heels.

    Her highlighted hair was pulled back into a sleek ponytail. 

    Pals: The two have been close friends for years as Anna is a big
    tennis fan. And Wintour has also worked with Serena, having put the Compton, California native on the cover
    of her magazine several times

    The athlete has been in the news lately as she talks about retiring from tennis to
    spend more time with her daughter Olympia, and also to work on her eponymous
    fashion brand. 

    On Anna’s other side was Anne Hathaway which may have been a sticky situation. 

    Anne played an ambitious assistant to Meryl Streep’s fashion magazine editor in the movie
    The Devil Wears Prada.

    It was widely believed Streep’s icy character was based on Wintour.

    The portrait was far from flattering.

    She nailed her look:  Williams looked stunning in a hot pink suit with a light pink
    top.

    She added silver strappy high heels as she carried her cell
    phone

    But Anna seemed to keep her cool as Hathaway chatted. 

    The Michael Kors show for his Spring 2023 collection was held during
    New York Fashion Week and attracted a very large number of celebrities.

    One after another came the big-name beauties as they wore the impressive collection from Kors,
    a 63-year-old Long Island native.

    But it was supermodel Bella Hadid who stole the day as she modeled several sexy looks,
    like a bra top with a mini skirt and a plunging cocktail dress with sequins.

    The guests: From left, Anne Hathaway – who starred in The Devil Wears Prada,
    which was reportedly based on a staffer’s employment at Vogue – with Wintour,
    Williams and Eric Adams

    What could they be talking about?

    Anne played an ambitious assistant to Meryl Streep’s fashion magazine editor

    Among the luminaries were actresses Vanessa Hudgens,
    Anne Hathaway, Alexandra Daddario, influencer Nicky Hilton, models Sofia Richie and Christie
    Brinkley, who brought her mini-me daughter Sailor Brinkley Cook, and tennis star Williams.

    Bella looked like a Bond girl in her incredible dress that had thin spaghetti
    straps and came in at the waist where it was ruched.

    The dress fell below her knee and had an asymmetrical hemline that highlighted
    her toned legs. 

    Hadid added two Wonder Woman style cuff bracelets that only added to the elegance of her look.

    The mood was serious: Anne, Anna and Serena took the show very seriously

    The cover girl’s dark hair was pulled back and she had on light makeup with no earrings of necklace. 

    Also seen was Bill Gates’ ex Melinda Gates and their daughter Phoebe Adele Gates.

    Vanessa was one of the standouts at the glamorous show as she wore a plunging
    and belted charcoal gray cat suit that made the most of her toned
    and tanned body.

    The ex of Austin Butler added a long coat in the same color with high heels. 

    The 33-year-old High School Musical veteran pulled
    back her raven locks and added dewy makeup which
    was perfect for late summer.

    This comes after the beauty attended her friend Sarah Hyland’s wedding.

    This week she said the actress was the ‘ultimate bride’.
    The 31-year-old actress recently married Wells
    Adams, and Vanessa shared some behind-the-scenes snaps from her weekend as a bridesmaid.

    best known for her movie The Princess Diaries; her latest project
    is WeCrashed with Jared Leto.

    Anne also wore black as she made her way into the show. 

    The married siren had on a mock croc leather coat
    with a black turtleneck and bare legs with black stiletto pumps.

    And the Les Miserables star debuted a new hairstyle with bangs.

    The White Lotus actress Daddario opted for a black bra top with low-waisted slacks and a pinstriped blazer with her black hair worn down and a
    deep red lip.

    This comes after the newly wed beauty showed off her chest in a beige sheer Dior dress at Monday’s Emmy Awards.

    When she took to the stage for White Lotus’ win, her chest could be
    seen through the dress but she covered up with her arms in an awkward moment.

Arsenal Sporting Director, Edu Gaspar To Step Down

Published

on

Arsenal Football Club is facing a major transition as sporting director, Edu Gaspar is reportedly poised to leave his position amidst growing interest from a group of clubs owned by Evangelos Marinakis, including Nottingham Forest and Olympiacos.

Sources indicate that the Brazilian, who has been a key figure in reshaping Arsenal’s transfer strategy and overall identity since 2019, is expected to take on a significant new role within Marinakis’ expansive network.

His departure could signal a substantial shift in Arsenal’s approach to player recruitment and team development.

Edu’s tenure has seen the club invest £867 million in player acquisitions, ranking Arsenal third in spending behind Chelsea and Manchester United.

Under his leadership, the Gunners secured the FA Cup and finished as runners-up in the Premier League during the last two seasons.

He played a pivotal role in the signings of high-profile players such as Martin Ødegaard and Declan Rice while managing the exits of notable figures including Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Mesut Özil.

According to reports, Edu’s decision to leave was self-initiated, with recent changes in senior roles at the club possibly influencing his choice.

As Arsenal prepares for a crucial Champions League match against AC Milan, manager Mikel Arteta is expected to address the situation in his pre-match press conference on Tuesday.

Edu’s journey at Arsenal began when he returned to the club as technical director after a successful period with the Brazilian Football Confederation, where he celebrated a Copa America victory.

Promoted to the role of sporting director in 2022, he has emphasized a philosophy that prioritizes both winning and playing with style, stating, “Winning is not enough for Arsenal; style is paramount. I want to win the best way possible.”

The club now faces the challenge of finding a successor capable of sustaining the momentum and vision Edu has instilled.

Football transfer analyst Fabrizio Romano confirmed the impending transition, noting that Edu is a sought-after target for Marinakis’ multi-club operation.

Obaje’s Brace Sees Rangers Triumph Over Nasarawa Utd

Published

on

 

Two second half goals in a-five-minute-period by former NPFL top-scorer, Godwin Obaje, ensured that reigning champions of the league, Rangers International bounced back to winning ways, beating Nasarawa United FC 2-0 in a match day 10, at Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu on Sunday, November 3, 2024.

Smarting from a heartwarming 1-1 draw in Ilorin and 0-0 draw in Uyo in the last two match days, coach Fidelis Ilechukwu made three changes to the last match day starting squad, handing starts to goalkeeper, Kingdom Osayi and Godwin Obaje while captain of the side, Chinemerem Ugwueze also started in the very entertaining encounter watched by an appreciable number of fans.

Opting for a 4-4-2 formation which was aimed at pushing the visitors back so as to contain the exploits of leading goal scorer, Anas Yusuf, with Frank Uwumiro and Godwin Obaje leading the attack with the quartet of Isaac Saviour, Kazeem Ogunleye, Chinemerem Ugwueze and Ejike Ugochukwu anchoring the middle of the pack while the back-four of Effimi Nsi, Evans Ogbonda, Austine Opara, and Ifeanyi Onyebuchi providing cover for the man between the sticks, Kingdom Osayi.

The first period witnessed a lot of missed opportunities on both ends but with more missed chances coming the way of the home side as Effimi Nsi failed to connect when set up by Isaac Saviour on 14 minutes which was followed by Frank Uwumiro’s stinging shot that was pushed out by goalkeeper, Galadima Mohammed on 16 minutes just as Godwin Obaje could not fathom how his efforts on 22 and 40 minutes failed to rest inside the net and Ejike Ugochukwu, Isaac Saviour’ efforts were bravely stopped by Galadima on 36 and 45 minutes.

When both sides returned for the second period, the home side continued to push and probing for openings which came on 55 minutes when Obaje met an Uwumiro cut-back with precision to open his goals account for the season and on 60 minutes, he grabbed his brace in the match as he expertly tucked in the spot kick awarded his side after he was wrestled down inside the box by Victor Collins as the fans yelled for more goals in celebrations.

Obaje would have made it a hat trick of goals on 67 minutes after being fed by Evans Ogbonda but his effort missed target by inches just few minutes after substitute, Silas Nenrot’s stinging shot was pushed out by an alert Galadima on 65 minutes while Nenrot’s effort that found the back of the net was ruled out for offside on 70 minutes. Opportunities also came the way of Kazeem Ogunleye and Godwin Obaje in the 71 and 73 minutes but there were no further goals to show for all the dominance.

As the game neared it closing period, coach Ilechukwu handed game time to two of his young stars, Daniel Onyia and Kelechi Edeh and they did not disappoint.

In the post-match chat, chief-coach of the Enugu side, Ekeh Ekenedilichukwu, said, “This was a great game with a good result against a quality side. They proved difficult in the first half but after some talks at the break, we got our acts together and converted two of the numerous chances that we created. We are happy with the result and would work harder to convert our chances in subsequent matches.”

Two-goals hero, Godwin Obaje, while reacting to the media after the encounter, said, “We are happy we got the win and I am really glad to have scored in my first start for the season. It goes a long way to show that we are gradually getting into the needed shape to challenge for a good season. Nasarawa United gave us a good fight but we showed more resolve to win.”

With the win, Rangers now occupy the 5th spot on the 20 team log with fifteen points from ten matches and would next play against Plateau United in a match day 11 fixture at the New Jos Stadium, Jos in the coming weekend.

Nigerian Community In Libya Paying Dearly For CAF Verdict

Published

on

 

It appears the Libyans are venting their frustration on the Nigerian community in reaction to the recent verdict of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) over the botched African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier involving the senior men’s football team of both countries.

Recall that the Super Eagles of Nigeria went through harrowing experiences in the hands of hosts, Libya when they travelled to the north African country to keep an October 16 date with their Libyan national team counterparts.

The near-death experiences, which hit the globe spontaneously, thanks to social media, received widespread condemnation culminating in the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) withdrawing the Super Eagles from the game, reporting the matter to the CAF, who later awarded the game and three points the Nigerian national side, including a fine of $50,000.00 against Libya.

Feeling undone, with the outcome of their gimmicks, the Libyan authorities are now seeking a pound of flesh from the Nigerian community in their country, in a manner that suggests that they have taken the football warfare from the field to the streets.

They appear focused on getting the Nigerians pay for sins of their home country in daring to seek justice from CAF through imposition of fines, new taxes, and stringent enforcement of resident/work permits, in a manner that suggest that CAF can impose a fine, but Nigerians would have to pay it.

Amidst the fines and new taxes, there’s already an outcry of mass arrest from the Nigerian community in Libya, according to the https://punchng.com/.

Recall that the Nigerian football contingent was held at the Al-Abraq Airport in eastern Libya for over 20 hours upon arrival for the second leg of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier between the Super Eagles and Libya’s national team.

They were scheduled to land at the Benghazi Airport and travel for nearly four hours by road to Benina, where the match would have been played.

However, less than an hour before landing, the Tunisian pilot reportedly received a directive from the Libyan authorities to divert the flight to the Al-Abraq Airport, located 150 miles away from the destination.

The attendant public outcry compelled the NFF to withdraw the Super Eagles from the qualifying match and file an official complaint against Libya at the CAF.

In its ruling on Saturday, October 26, signed by its Chairman, Ousmane Kane, the disciplinary committee of the African football governing body awarded the Super Eagles of Nigeria three points and three goals for the abandoned match.

In addition, the disciplinary board ruled that the Libyan Football Federation (LFF) breached Article 31 of the AFCON Regulations and Articles 82 and 151 of the CAF Disciplinary Code.

The panel also ordered the LFF to pay a fine of $50,000 within 60 days of the notification of the decision.

The LFF has expressed displeasure with the CAF’s verdict.

The LFF President Nasser Al-Suwai’I described it as “unjust and malicious,” alleging that the NFF’s influence within the CAF played a major role in the outcome.

A report on Monday by a Libyan outlet, Libyan Observer, quoted Al-Suwai’I saying the LFF would file an official appeal within hours and that if the appeal was denied, the body would resort to the Court of Arbitration for Sport to ensure “their legitimate rights are secured.”

Campaign against Nigerians

Following the CAF ruling, a popular Libyan news blog, Libya News Today 1, on Sunday, thus, “All Libyan TV channels are urging the government to arrest the Nigerian workers who are working here in Libya without legal papers. They have to pay $500 plus taxes.

“The fine that Libya is accused of will be paid by Nigerian citizens who live in Libya. We have been subjected to injustice. We have no borders with Nigeria. What benefit are they to us? They’re a burden on the Libyan people. They have to go back home.”

The blog has more than 188,000 followers on Facebook and 57,000 likes.

The post was accompanied by a video of a Libyan TV presenter, who said, “Anyone who is living in Libya and working without paying tax is eating haram, which means sinful money. The government should make every effort to arrest all Nigerians who are working in Libya so that they can pay a tax of $500 and regulate their stay in the country by obtaining residence permits.”

Another Libyan site, Libya INF.TV, reported that Libyan stations wanted the government to start arresting Nigerian workers.

“Those who don’t have Libyan papers will have to pay a fine of $500 for taxes. If you refuse deportation, no mercy. The Libyan government will pay the Nigerian government from their citizens’ money,” the post said.
