 EPL: I’m pushing Osimhen to join Chelsea, he loves the club – Mikel Obi Former Super Eagles midfielder, John Obi Mikel, has joked that he is the agent to Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen and said he is trying to get him to join Chelsea. Osimhen is expected to cost his next club as much as €130million, which is the value of his release clause. However, Mikel Obi admits that the Blues face interest from Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain. Mikel said: “I think there’s genuine interest between both (Chelsea and Osimhen). “I think he loves the club, he wants to come to the club, obviously he wants to follow in my footsteps as a Nigerian player who has played for Chelsea, like Victor Moses, Celestine Babayaro, there’s not a lot of us. “But he also has a lot of interest, like PSG, Man United, but I’m still pushing, sending him messages, trying to make sure he doesn’t expect too much, just narrow your mind on one club: The Blues!”

 DISCLAIMER: REQUEST FOR PAYMENT TO VETT TRAINEES NOT FROM THE NIGERIAN ARMY The attention of the Nigerian Army is drawn to fraudulent financial demands making the rounds on some social media platforms  purportedly  emanating from the Nigerian Army, where some faceless unscrupulous persons are soliciting funds for the vetting of selected trainees undergoing training already at the Depot, Nigerian Army, Zaria.  This claim is not only fraudulent but criminal and must be nipped in the bud before it festers. It is common knowledge throughout the history of the Nigerian Army, that training of potential recruits and officer cadets are fully funded and borne by the Nigerian Army. Therefore, attempts to fleece unsuspecting members of the public, whose wards successfully scaled through the meticulous and rigorous process of screening and are currently in training as potential recruits is viewed as serious criminal intent aimed at tarnishing the reputation of the Nigerian Army...

 Oregon mom sentenced to 30 days in jail for refusing to let her daughter undergo medical treatments for cancer and instead treating her with CBD oil. I want to begin this article by stating her daughter, Kylie Dixon, now 18, is alive and currently cancer-free after a judge intervened and she received the required treatments for liver cancer.

The Association of Table Waters Producers (ATWAP) has said that the price of pure water may be sold for N100 per one due to the high cost of production materials. The group which spoke at a press conference in Lagos, said they’ve been facing so many challenges such as high cost of diesel, lack of power as well as high cost of production. They also said that the current price of water sales reflects the situation of the country. One of the group’s representatives said;  “Pure water is sold for N50 now, and it is even going up to N100 per one. At our own end, there’s nothing we can do. The cost of production is high. “As at last year December, we were buying materials (nylon) for N1,100 per KG. The 6 kg of nylon is now N3,600/N3,700. The cost of treatment is also high. The increment for these materials comes at 3 times in one week. It is also difficult for us to increase the price of water. “If ordinary Nigerians can’t afford pure water, I don’t know where we are going. Every water p...

 NURTW HQ Wades Into Rift Between Lagos Bosses MC Oluomo & Seego The National headquarters of the NURTW (National Union of Road Transport Workers) has waded into the rift between the Chairman of the Lagos state chapter, Musiliu Akinsanya alias MC Oluomo, and Treasurer, Mustapha Adekunle also known as Seego. Based on an agreement endorsed by the Governor of Lagos state, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, MC Oluomo was supposed to have stepped down for Seego to become Chairman of the NURTW in Lagos state – while he pursues his ambition to become the next National President of the transport union. MC Oluomo, however, balked at the last moment and secured support from other stakeholders to hold to the Lagos state NURTW position until Seego helped him to secure the National President slot. The development sparked the tension that resulted in the National Headquarters of the NURTW intervention on February 27, 2024. As part of the measures to protect the peace, the meeting headed by the Chairman Boa...
