 Peter Obi’s new lies Peter Obi’s recent claims of being targeted by the government—citing an incident involving his car at the airport, which, by his own account, must have resulted from flouting parking regulations—are simply unfounded and misleading.  As a pathological and serial liar, Mr Obi is intent on dragging the government into every personal inconvenience he encounters, often resorting to exaggeration and baseless allegations. His claim that he may not be alive for the January 2027 election and that people are being pressured not to invite him to social events is nothing more than a fabricated narrative, a page from his book of lies and propaganda.  These claims lack substance and are designed to attract undue sympathy and deflect attention from his credibility deficit and the problems faced by his SPV and his adopted political association, the NDC. It is important to note that Mr Obi has a substantial interest in Fidelity Bank. The institution continues to thri...

WORLD AQUATICS LIFTS RESTRICTIONS ON RUSSIAN ATHLETES, ALLOWING NATIONAL FLAG AND ANTHEM AT COMPETITIONS AHEAD OF LA 2028 OLYMPICS. (PHOTO).


 World Aquatics lifts restrictions on Russian athletes, allowing national flag and anthem at competitions ahead of LA 2028 Olympics 

Russian swimmers, divers, and water polo athletes will now be allowed to compete under their national flag and anthem after World Aquatics lifted long-standing restrictions on Russian and Belarusian participation.

The governing body announced that it will remove rules requiring athletes from Russia and Belarus to compete as neutrals or undergo special eligibility vetting. The policy change marks a significant shift in international aquatic sports ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, after years of restrictions imposed following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

World Aquatics initially barred Russian and Belarusian athletes from its events, including world championships, before later allowing limited neutral participation. The new decision fully restores their ability to compete alongside other nations, including the use of national uniforms, flags, and anthems. The organization previously eased restrictions for junior athletes before extending the change to senior competitors.

World Aquatics president Husain Al Musallam said the update reflects a commitment to keeping aquatic sports a place where athletes from all countries can compete together in a peaceful environment.

The move has drawn strong criticism from Ukrainian officials, who condemned the decision as inappropriate given the ongoing war. Ukraine’s sports minister Matvii Bidnyi said returning national symbols to a country engaged in war undermines the principles of fair competition and respect for human life, adding that Ukrainian athletes continue to train under dangerous conditions.

Russia’s sports leadership welcomed the decision, with officials thanking World Aquatics and describing it as part of a broader return to international sporting cooperation.

The change follows similar steps by other sports federations, including judo and taekwondo, which have also reinstated Russian participation in full. Ukraine has previously opposed such moves and has taken protest actions in other sporting events involving Russian competitors.

Under the new policy, Russian and Belarusian athletes will still be required to pass multiple anti-doping tests and background checks before competing, though details of those reviews have not been fully disclosed.

The decision applies only to World Aquatics events, but it could influence wider discussions across international sports as preparations continue for the 2028 Olympics. The International Olympic Committee has not yet responded, though it has previously allowed Russian athletes to compete under neutral designation in senior events while easing restrictions in youth competition.
