  🇳🇴 Daniel Daga Sentenced by Norwegian Court, Appeals Verdict Molde FK midfielder Daniel Daga has been sentenced to six months in prison by a Norwegian court after being found guilty of committing a sexual act without consent. The Nigerian midfielder joined Molde FK from Enyimba just a year ago as one of the promising young talents to move from the NPFL to Europe. However, Daga has appealed the ruling through his lawyer, meaning the decision is not yet legally final and the case will continue through the Norwegian judicial system. Molde FK have also confirmed that the midfielder will not be included in the club’s matchday squad until further notice while the legal process continues.

Soyinka’s third novel released in French

Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka’s third novel, “Chronicles from the Land of the Happiest People on Earth”, has been released in French.

Originally published in English in 2021, the novel, lauded by the French press for its satirical elements mixing humour and horror, was described by poet and novelist Ben Okri as a “shocking story of political corruption in a country much like his homeland”

It follows the adventures of Papa Davina, a wannabe guru who comes back from the United States and finds an unlikely following as the creator of his own religion.

“The title comes from external sources: I read one of these Gallup polls conducted around the world, one about which are the happiest people in the world,” Soyinka explains.

“I was astonished to find that Nigeria was among the top six, maybe even top three or four. So I started asking myself how we came to earn such an unlikely title, ” Soyinka told RFI’s Catherine Fruchon-Toussaint.

Soyinka’s other two novels are “The Interpreters” (1965) and “Season of Anomy” (1973).
