 Dutch referee Rob Dieperink dies weeks after removal from World Cup officiating list Dutch referee Rob Dieperink has died at the age of 38, weeks after FIFA removed him from its list of officials for the World Cup. The Dutch Football Association (KNVB) confirmed his death in a statement, saying it was “shocked and deeply saddened” by the news. His cause of death has not been disclosed. Dieperink was arrested in April by the Metropolitan Police in the United Kingdom following a report of an alleged sexual assault involving a teenage boy in London. A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said officers responded on April 9 to a report of sexual assault at an address in Croydon and arrested a man in his 30s on suspicion of the offence.

 Immediately After The War, We Were Given £20,But Today, Anambra has Highest Billionaire yet they are not in government- Tonnie Oganah


Political commentator Tonnie Oganah has reflected on the resilience and economic success of the Igbo people, noting the dramatic transformation from post-war hardship to prosperity.


Speaking during an interview on TVC News, Oganah recalled that after the Nigerian Civil War ended in 1970, Igbos were given only £20 each, regardless of the amount they had in their bank accounts before the conflict.


“Remember that immediately after the war, we were given only £20, but today what do you have?. Do you know the state that has the highest number of billionaires in Nigeria?, let me tell you, Anambra State, and they are not even in government,” 


He pointed to Anambra State as a testament to this resilience, describing it as the Nigerian state with the highest concentration of billionaires, many of whom built their fortunes through commerce, industry and innovation.


The £20 policy, implemented by the federal government at the time, was widely criticized for its devastating economic impact on the Igbo population who had already suffered massive losses during the war. It left many without capital to rebuild their lives and businesses.


Oganah highlighted that despite this setback, the Igbo entrepreneurial spirit has propelled individuals and communities to remarkable success over the decades. 


Oganah’s remarks serve as both a reminder of the injustices faced by the Igbos after the war and a celebration of their determination to overcome adversity. For him, the story of Anambra’s billionaires is proof that a people’s resilience can turn historical loss into enduring economic strength
