Sean Strickland forcibly removed from UFC White House event by Secret Service UFC Middleweight Champion Sean Strickland was removed from the UFC Freedom 250 Fan Fest at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., after showing up despite claiming he had been excluded from the White House event.  Strickland later clarified on Instagram that he was not arrested but suggested he might face a disorderly conduct charge, which in D.C. carries penalties of up to 90 days in jail or a $500 fine.  His presence drew immediate hostility from the pro-Trump crowd, with chants of “USA” erupting before Secret Service agents escorted him out.

 Peter Obi Attends Chimamanda Adichie’s Book Launch in London


Former presidential candidate Peter Obi attended the launch of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s latest novel, Dream Count, over the weekend at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall in London.


The book, released on Monday, March 3, 2025, explores the lives, loves, and aspirations of four women.


Obi shared details of the event on social media, noting that approximately 3,000 people were in attendance.


"I arrived in London, United Kingdom, safely on Sunday morning, March 2, for a busy schedule," he wrote.


"I traveled via Air Peace business class, as I typically do for long-haul flights, especially when I need to begin work immediately upon arrival.


"After arriving, I headed to Cambridge for scheduled meetings with development experts, where we discussed potential solutions to Nigeria’s challenges. Later in the day, I attended Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s book launch at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall."


Obi described Adichie’s conversation with journalist and author Elizabeth Day as insightful and engaging, holding the audience’s attention throughout the event.


He emphasized that the occasion was not just a celebration of literary excellence but also a reminder of Nigeria’s vast potential if the country prioritizes education, healthcare, and poverty alleviation—key components of the Human Development Index (HDI).


Reflecting on the discussions about Nigeria’s future and Adichie’s inspiring performance, Obi expressed optimism about the nation’s prospects.


“With the energy and brilliance of our youth, a shared commitment, and good governance, the dream of a better Nigeria is within reach. I remain confident that all hope is not lost. A new Nigeria is POssible!” he wrote.
