World Cup Boost: Akor Adams Proves His Worth Ahead Of Super Eagles Duty
According to Nivo News, Nigerian striker Akor Adams made a bold statement ahead of the Super Eagles’ 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers as he found the net in Sevilla’s emphatic 4–1 demolition of defending champions Barcelona on Sunday.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The match, played at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium, saw Sevilla hand Barcelona their first La Liga defeat of the season in front of a stunned home crowd. The victory further highlighted Adams’ growing influence at the Spanish club, as well as his readiness to make an impact on the international stage.
Former Barcelona forward Alexis Sanchez opened the scoring for Sevilla from the penalty spot after VAR ruled that Ronald Araujo had fouled Isaac Romero inside the area. Romero later doubled the lead for the hosts in the 37th minute, making amends after missing two earlier chances.
Barcelona pulled one back before halftime through Marcus Rashford, who volleyed home a fine cross from Pedri for his first La Liga goal. The Catalans had an opportunity to equalize in the 76th minute after Adnan Januzaj fouled Alejandro Balde inside the box, but Robert Lewandowski missed the resulting penalty, sending the ball wide to the delight of Sevilla fans.
In the 90th minute, Jose Angel Carmona restored Sevilla’s two-goal cushion with a powerful finish past Wojciech Szczesny, before Akor Adams sealed the victory deep into stoppage time with a fine strike assisted by compatriot Chidera Ejuke.
The goal marked Adams’ second of the season, coming a week after he opened his account against Rayo Vallecano. Ejuke’s assist was his first goal contribution of the campaign, following a slow start caused by injury setbacks.
Adams, 25, is yet to make his senior debut for Nigeria despite featuring for the U-20 team in the past. The former Montpellier striker joined Sevilla in January for €5.5 million and was part of the Super Eagles’ preliminary 39-man squad for the March World Cup qualifiers before being omitted from the final list by coach Eric Chelle.
With his recent recall to the national team for the upcoming qualifiers against Lesotho and Benin, many fans and analysts believe Adams’ current form could earn him a key role in Nigeria’s attack as the team seeks to secure qualification for the 2026 World Cup.

“YOU WILL NEVER SEE YOUR MONEY AGAIN!” Ubi Franklin Drops A Bombshell On The Brutal Financial Reality Of The Music Industry!.
Prominent music executive Ubi Franklin has opened up about the daunting financial realities of the industry during his appearance on the EC podcast, labeling the music business as the single riskiest venture he has ever undertaken. Franklin revealed that pushing a single track to the public can easily demand an investment of up to ₦100 million, noting that dropping the song is merely the starting line.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to him, maintaining momentum requires heavy spending long after release—even if a track successfully goes viral on TikTok—because modern music consumers have exceptionally short attention spans and can lose interest overnight. Highlighting the volatile nature of the industry, Franklin warned that sinking massive amounts of capital into a song offers zero guarantee of a financial return, making it an intensely unpredictable gamble for executives and investors alike.
Reflecting on the grueling economics of the trade, Franklin stated: “Music is the riskiest business I’ve ever done. You need ₦100m to promote one song. Even if TikTok carries it, you still need money to keep it on the charts because people have short attention spans, and there’s no guarantee you’ll get your money back.”

POLICE MOVE IN: Reality Star Tacha Arrested At Her Lagos Home Over Cybercrime Unit Summons
Big Brother Naija star Natacha Akide, popularly known as Tacha, has reportedly been arrested by the Nigeria Police Force.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to Best of Nollywood (BON) CEO and movie producer Seun Oloketuyi, the reality star was picked up at her Ajah residence on Sunday morning after allegedly ignoring three separate police invitations issued by the Nigeria Police National Cyber Crime Centre (NPF-NCCC) between May and August 2026.

“HE HAD NEVER TREATED ME THAT WAY”: Hanga Breaks Silence On The Toxic Fallout With Kwankwaso.
Senator Rufai Sani Hanga (Kano Central) has detailed the breakdown of his political relationship with Rabiu Kwankwaso, the NDC vice-presidential candidate, in an interview with Dan’uwa Rano TV.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The rift largely stemmed from Hanga’s massive constituency empowerment program, where he distributed vehicles, rice, fertilizers, and other items. According to Hanga, Kwankwaso grew unhappy with his rising public profile and the scale of the initiatives. Tensions peaked when Hanga hosted the distribution event at a venue associated with Kwankwaso; though the former governor initially agreed to attend, he arrived looking displeased, left for prayers, and never returned.
Hanga recounted that Kwankwaso later confronted him, complaining that the event was designed to court public praise and dismissing the small portion of items allocated to him. Despite Hanga apologizing, he felt deeply disrespected—especially after previous instances where Kwankwaso pressured him to allocate empowerment resources outside his senatorial district.
Concluding that mutual respect had vanished and that Kwankwaso’s dissatisfaction ultimately cost him his return ticket, Hanga remarked, “He has treated others this way, but he had never done it to me until that moment.”
