The forward received a reduced ban because he has allegedly been diagnosed as a gambling addict, with the FA initially considering a 15-month suspension. The FA had alleged that Toney placed 13 bets on his former club, Newcastle, to lose in seven matches between August 2017 and March 2018, although he did not feature in any of those games. There is no evidence he gambled on any games he played in. Toney joined his current side Brentford in August 2020 but did not place any bets involving the Bees.

It was gathered that over 40 artists had been contracted to perform at the event which held in M.K. Abiola Stadium in Abuja. The Zazoo crooner had been noticably absent among the list of performers and this had raised questions, especially since the singer had once campaigned for the APC. Reacting to these questions, Portable reminded inquirers that he had been the one who sang a campaign song for the politician.

Sudan: FG clarifies reason bus evacuation of Nigerians cost $1.2m

The Nigerian Government gives clarification on why it cost the sum of $1.2 million for the buses that were used to evacuate Nigerians from Sudan. The government stated that the amount was negotiated under the “condition of war.” This information was provided in a joint statement released on Saturday by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social Development.

Sudan: FG clarifies reason bus evacuation of Nigerians cost $1.2m

The statement was signed by Amb. Janet Olisa, the Director overseeing the Office of the Permanent Secretary, MFA, and Dr. Nasir Sani-Gwarzo, the Permanent Secretary, FMHADMSD. “The general public is also advised to discountenance unverified information being circulated on social media as some of them are either due to ignorance or sheer mischief. The outcry over the negotiated sum of $1.2 million for the buses hired for the exercise, is uncalled for. “The amount in question was negotiated in a condition of war and where there are competing demands for the same bus services by other countries also trying to evacuate their citizens. Therefore, cooperation and understanding of all and sundry are required to complement ongoing efforts aimed at ensuring the safe return of every Nigerian trapped in Sudan,” the statement clarified. An undisclosed transport company was paid N150 million by the Central Bank of Nigeria through the National Emergency Management Agency on Tuesday at 12:37 pm, The Punch reported. This money was released by the government to hire 40 buses to transport stranded Nigerian citizens from Sudan to Cairo, Egypt, due to the current crisis in the country.

"I regard Tinubu as a father" — Peter Obi clarifies, gives reason for challenging election result

“I have no issues with Tinubu. He is somebody I have so much respect for as a brother and regard as a father. I am only challenging the process through which INEC declared him as the President-elect. I have no issues with his declaration as the President-elect. “We are committed to a new Nigeria. We must do everything that is right. We need to build strong democratic institutions that will teach people what their job requires and what government is all about. The process through which people come into office is for me…far more fundamental than what they do thereafter. There is a process of doing things. There is a process of arriving at any destination. Like I said in my press conference, if you’re going to answer ‘His Excellency’, the process of coming to that position must be excellent. If you’re going to be a Bishop, there’s a process of being a Bishop.”

Wike unapologetic as he reveals real reason Peter Obi left PDP

GistReel

The Governor of Rivers State, Chief Nyesom Wike, clarified that the reason Peter Obi, the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was due to certain politicians in the PDP attempting to maintain power in the North. Wike unapologetic as he reveals real reason Peter Obi left PDP During a courtesy visit by the National Executive Committee of Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo Worldwide at the Government House in Port Harcourt, Wike, who expressed his satisfaction with power shifting to the south, insisted that he did not work against Peter Obi during the 25th February 2023 presidential election. He further explained that he strongly advocated for a Southern president and that Obi’s decision to depart from the PDP occurred after Sule Lamido informed him that power would remain in the North in 2023. These remarks were conveyed by the governor’s media aide, Kelvin Ebiri. Wike on Why Peter Obi left PDP “I supported that power must come to the south. When Obi came here, I gave him all the logistics; vehicles, and other support and paid for the stadium, but some other persons applied and I refused. You should know me too well by now.” “Obi was running with us. I knew when Obi left. He was principled and he said he can’t stand it, people should say the truth. He went to see Sule Lamido in Jigawa, not in Dutse, but in a village that will take you more than four or five hours drive from Dutse the capital. “You know what he told Obi? He didn’t tell him that look, you came late and I have chosen somebody. He said it is the north that will produce the next president. That was how Obi left saying why is he wasting time. Ask him, that’s how he left PDP.” “And that was what I saw at the convention ground. Within minutes, knowing that I was going to win, your sons were all the ones who did everything and sabotaged me. I said ok, no problem. “But I still maintained that look, if you have taken the presidential candidate you can’t take chairmanship again, give us back the chairman and I still stand by that and if you don’t do that whatever you see you take.” Watch the video below …

Simi reveals the real reason why a lot of people ‘japa’

GistReel

Nigerian singer and songwriter, Simi has shared the real reason why many Nigerians ‘japa’ in search of a better life.

Simi

It is no longer news that many Nigerians leave the country at the slightest opportunity. Many go as far as selling their properties just to be able to leave for a better life. Simi took to Twitter where she released a couple of tweets revealing why Nigerians leave the country. The mother-of-one opined nobody ever wants to leave their friends and family behind. However, they ‘japa’, so they do not want to die feeling helpless.

Simi

Simi wrote: “Black Africans have to fight and fight for space and respect and survival everywhere they go because the one place that is their birthright is hard on their lives. One would think this would make African leaders wake tf up and help us fight for our dignity.  Who really wants to go land of strangers, away from everyone and the thing they love? People that want to survive. Nobody chooses that life because it’s good or easy. They just don’t want to die feeling that helpless. But these leaders don’t love their country. They don’t love their people. They only love their greedy bellies. They only care about their own children. They only care about their families. As long as their wickedness is not happening to them, why stop?” See post below;
