The Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) will kickoff in less than 12 days, but many are confused why it takes the name AFCON 2023, despite holding in 2024. Originally, AFCON 2023 was scheduled to be held in June and July of 2023. However, due to concerns about weather conditions, particularly high rainfall and temperatures during the rainy season in Ivory Coast, where the tournament was to be hosted, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) decided to move the event to January 2024. Earlier, Patrice Motsepe, the president of CAF explained the decision. Sadio Mane inspired Senegal to victory in the last edition of the AFCON – Getty image He said, “We cannot take the risk. January is not the ideal time because of the European clubs, but it is the only choice we have.” Another factor contributing to the timing was the FIFA World Cup, which took place in Qatar in late 2022, preventing the possibility of holding AFCON earlier in the year. The last tournament of the continental game was won by a Sadio Mane’s inspired Senegal in 2021.
Woman secretly gets pregnant outside marriage, bears children for alleged impotent husband
A Nigerian woman has admitted to getting pregnant outside of her marriage and bearing children for her husband. The revelation comes after she discovered that her husband is unable to father a child. Instead of creating a scene or making noise about the situation, she chose to keep calm and remain married to her husband, all while secretly becoming pregnant by other men and raising the children under her husband’s roof. The startling message, which was leaked on Facebook by a user named Princess Chelsea, has sparked numerous reactions from the online community. In the message, the woman expresses her surprise when her husband returned home one day and confessed to impregnating another woman, seeking her forgiveness. This revelation puzzled her, as she was aware of her husband’s medical condition that rendered him infertile. “Now, I don’t know how to tell my husband that the woman is just a chronic liar. I’m that confident because I know my husband is medically impotent. However, I’m scared I will lose my marriage if he gets to know that the kids at home are also not his,” she wrote in the leaked message. The leaked Facebook post has garnered significant attention and elicited a range of responses. UcdeProf Okafor said; “I don’t see any issue here.

Woman cries out as hubby insists she bears father’s name after marriage
A married woman has cried out on social media after her husband insisted that she bears her maiden name after marriage.
Sharing her story via Facebook group, realLifetales, she said,
“Please read this carefully especially those yet to get married. I want to share my experience with you.
I got married to my husband four months ago. Before we got married, he was saying I will not bear his surname after marriage. I thought it was a joke.
After we did our wedding, I started making efforts to change my surname to his own and it caused a serious problem. He said he doesn’t want it and I should keep on bearing my maiden name.
I was like, oga if your mind is not in this marriage say it and stop causing unnecessary wahala. How can a married woman still answer her father’s surname.
I told him it’s either he allows me answer his surname or we divorce. That was when he started crying and telling me how his father swore an oath in exchange for money that all his children to come will die untimely so that generational wealth can continue.
I am so scared right now and I don’t know what to do anymore. Please help a sister”
