 Somali World Cup Referee Denied Entry to United States Award-winning Somali referee, Omar Artan, has been denied entry into the United States despite holding a valid visa, according to a senior official in Somalia’s sports ministry. Artan, who is set to become the first Somali referee to officiate at the FIFA World Cup finals, was stopped at Miami International Airport and subsequently returned to Istanbul, where he had been residing. The reason for the denial was not immediately disclosed. However, Somalia is among the countries affected by a travel ban introduced by the administration of Donald Trump. Reacting to the development, Ciise Aden Abshir, a senior adviser to Somalia’s Ministry of Youth and Sports and a former national team captain, described Artan as one of Africa’s most respected referees. “Omar Artan is among Africa’s most respected referees and deserves the support of the entire football community,” Abshir told AFP on Monday.

 Delta State is richer than Anambra State but the people of Anambra are richer than people of Delta- Hon Uche Onyeagocha

 

Former Federal House of Representatives member, Hon. Uche Onyeagocha, has called on Igbo entrepreneurs and business owners to redirect their investments back to the Southeast region, arguing that sustainable development requires internal focus.


Speaking on Signature TV, Onyeagocha emphasized that businesses operated outside the Southeast could equally thrive within Igbo land.


"It is time we start repatriating our wealth back home and developing. There is nothing in these businesses that we are running outside that you cannot run in Igbo land. So it is a clear call on our people to start repatriating their wealth back home," he stated.


The former lawmaker drew comparisons between several Nigerian states to illustrate his point about individual wealth versus state resources.


"And there is something I need to make very clear to you and every other person who is willing to listen, and that is the fact that if you look at it very clearly, let's use Delta State for a start. Delta State as a state is richer than Anambra State, but the people of Anambra State are richer than the people of Delta State," 


He extended the comparison to other states in the region.


"Abia is by far richer than Akwa Ibom State. River State as a state is richer than Imo State, but the people of Imo State are richer than the people of River State," 


Using these examples as a foundation for his call to action, Onyeagocha urged the Igbo community to adopt an inward-looking development strategy.


While emphasizing internal development, the former representative clarified that this approach should not mean complete disengagement from the broader Nigerian economy.
