Adeleke angrily walks out of Eid ground over poor seating arrangement

Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State angrily walked out of the Osogbo central Eid ground on Wednesday over a poor seating arrangement which prevented the governor from observing the two raka’at rite. It was gathered that a former Senate spokesperson, Senator Ajibola Basiru escaped being mobbed by hoodlums attempting to forcefully move him from where he was sitting at the Eid ground.

Adeleke angrily walks out of Eid ground over poor seating arrangement

Governor Ademola Adeleke   The Senator along with the foremost religious leader in the state, Chief Tunde Badmus had arrived at the Eid ground at the Oke-Baale area of the state capital and took their seats in the front row. However, some politicians approached him and told him he was occupying the Governor’s space and the senator moved to another space on the row, but they insisted he must leave the row for another for the Governor and his entourage. The Senator, however, insisted on seating on the row which created controversy and some hoodlums began to create a scene, and coincidentally the Governor arrived at the Eid ground at the time but could not leave his vehicle for his seat. The Governor eventually stayed in his car because of the scenario and could not observe the two raka’at prayer. It was gathered that attempt to arrest the senator was eventually foiled as he was said to have left the ground with Chief Badmus after the prayer rites.

Among the trophies won at the club are two La Liga titles, one Champions League, and one Copa Del Rey. Confirming that Hazard will leave the club after the final match of the season on Sunday, June 4, Real Madrid said in a statement; “Real Madrid CF and Eden Hazard have reached an agreement whereby the player will be released from the club as of June 30, 2023. “Hazard has been part of our club for four seasons, in which he has won eight titles: one European Cup, one Club World Cup, one European Super Cup, two leagues, one Copa del Rey and two Spanish Super Cups.

Having the midfielder off the wage bill for next season will potentially allow Real to target a new forward, with coach Carlo Ancelotti admitting he expects a number of fresh faces to arrive. The Athletic have reported that ‘retirement is an option’ for Hazard but a decision has not yet been made. He had a very poor World Cup outing in Qatar with Belgium and announced his retirement from international football after the tournament.

Why I think demons have relationships with poor people

Why I think demons have relationships with poor people

A young man, identified as @buffdandy on Twitter, has put forth his belief on why he thinks demons target individuals of lower socio-economic status.

In his experience, he has never witnessed a wealthy individual succumb to the power of religious anointing, even after participating in fasting or exorcisms within their home. He attributes this behavior to the fact that demons have a stronger relationship with those who are poor. “I have never seen a rich man fall under the anointing even after fasting or having exorcisms happening in his home. I think demons have a relationship with the poor.” He tweeted. See the post below:

Graham Potter defends himself after Chelsea’s recent poor performance

GistReel

Graham Potter has reacted to the criticism he has faced lately following Chelsea’s poor performance in major competitions in spite of the huge amount spent to bring in new star players in two transfer windows. Graham Potter defends himself after Chelsea's recent poor performance Though Chelsea has splashed out around £600 million ($723m) across the last two transfer windows, Potter has only gotten nine wins from 25 games. The 47-year-old who was handed the managerial reins at Stamford Bridge in September 2022, has said that he is “not stupid” and recognises that “people want something different” from the club. He told reporters; “I am not stupid or naive. My job is to keep going and keep helping and supporting the team and take that criticism. You can only be yourself and try your best while being yourself. I get it that when you are losing that there’s always something you should do or change. I have always been this way and it has gotten me to this point but, at the same time, I know people want something different.” Graham Potter defends himself after Chelsea's recent poor performance Potter further listed some of the challenges he’s faced so far and which have impacted negatively on the club’s performance. He added; “There is transition and there’s factors but, at the same time, when the team is losing and we’ve had the results we’ve had then you can also understand it. We’ve invested in some young players, if you look at Enzo [Fernandez], [Noni] Madueke and [Mykhailo] Mudryk, they haven’t played that many games. They are learning to play in the Premier League. We’re managing quite an unprecedented injury list — so you have to manage that in the Premier League. All that is true but, unfortunately when you lose, it is not what people want to hear. I know my quality and I know what I have done in my career but I also understand than when results don’t go your way that you are open to criticism and that’s fair.”
