Dyche Takes Charge As Nottingham Forest Seek Premier League Revival

Published

on

Nottingham Forest have confirmed the appointment of Sean Dyche as their new manager following the dismissal of Ange Postecoglou after a disappointing start to the season.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to Nivo News, the 54-year-old English tactician has penned a contract that will keep him at the City Ground until the summer of 2027. Dyche, a former Burnley and Everton boss, becomes the club’s third manager this season after Postecoglou and Nuno Espirito Santo.

Postecoglou’s reign lasted just 39 days before his dismissal, which came shortly after Forest’s 3–0 defeat to Chelsea in the Premier League. The Australian coach failed to secure a win in his eight games in charge, recording two draws and six losses. His predecessor, Nuno Espirito Santo, was also sacked just three matches into the campaign.

With only one win from eight league games, Forest currently sit 18th on the Premier League table, prompting the club’s hierarchy to act swiftly. The managerial recruitment process was led by the club’s global head of football, Edu Gaspar, and global technical director, George Syrianos.

Sources revealed that former Italy and Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini also held discussions for the role, while Fulham’s Marco Silva was among those admired by the club’s board before Dyche was chosen.

In a statement, Nottingham Forest described Dyche as “a respected and experienced Premier League manager who brings the perfect blend of character, tactical acumen, and proven achievement to guide the club through its next chapter.” The club also highlighted his local ties as a former Forest youth player who understands the values and passion of the fans.

Dyche’s backroom staff will include Ian Woan and Steven Stone, both former Forest players. His first game in charge will be a Europa League clash at home to Porto on Thursday, followed by a Premier League visit to Bournemouth on Sunday.

Commenting on the development, football analyst Chris Sutton said on the Monday Night Club that Dyche’s appointment signals Forest’s shift toward stability and survival. “It’s an admission that they got it wrong with Postecoglou,” Sutton remarked. “Dyche has a track record of steadying struggling clubs and getting the best out of his players. Forest won’t go down; they have too many good players.”

Being Rich Doesn’t Make You A Ritualist’ – Tonto Dikeh Sends Strong Message.

Published

on

Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has warned against the assumption that wealthy people make their money through rituals or immoral activities.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The actress made this known while preaching to members of her newly established ministry, New Wine Prophetic Tabernacle (NWPT).

She explained that people possess different abilities and talents that can help them build wealth, noting that many individuals already have what they need to become successful but have yet to discover or develop their potential.

Dikeh encouraged her listeners to identify and improve their talents rather than allow their gifts to remain unused.

She said: “There’s so much power in you to produce wealth and yes, some of us are wealth. We just don’t have wealth. We are the wealth. You have to sharpen your talent and your gifts. The third one for the universal system of prosperity.

“Not every rich man is a ritualist, and not every rich woman sleeps with men. Some people have worked hard for years before their efforts finally paid off. So when you see him (someone) driving a Lamborghini, you’re like, ‘Hmm, he’s a ritualist.’ Not every rich man is a ritualist.

“Not every rich woman is sleeping with a man. Get it into your head. There are people who work hard earnestly and don’t even know God, because they discovered a gift in them and they did not let it sleep. Who told you God is only for you as a believer? No. That’s why I laugh at all of you. And I said to God, I said, ‘I hope these people just understand that God is a God for everybody.’

“The unbelievers and the believers alike. And none is more important. As a matter of fact, He is the one who will leave the ninety-nine and chase after the one.”

NJC Takes Disciplinary Action Against Judges, Suspends Some And Blocks Others’ Promotion.

Published

on

The National Judicial Council (NJC) has suspended three judicial officers for one year without pay over various allegations of misconduct and violations of judicial procedures.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The council also issued warnings and cautions to several other judges over offences including unlawful detention of litigants, abuse of judicial authority, failure to follow due process and improper handling of court cases.

The decisions were reached at the NJC’s 112th meeting, held on November 3, 2026, under the chairmanship of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun.

The three suspended officers are Justice Hannatu Mohammed Kabir of the Nasarawa State High Court, Grand Kadi Mohammed Sani Salihu of the Jigawa State Sharia Court of Appeal and Justice Sobere Biambo of the Rivers State High Court.

Justice Kabir was sanctioned for ordering the arrest and detention of a litigant for 58 days over alleged disobedience to a court order without following the prescribed contempt procedures.

The investigation established that she failed to serve the litigant with the mandatory Forms 48 and 49 before ordering the detention. The NJC held that her actions violated the litigant’s right to a fair hearing.

In addition to her one-year suspension without pay, the council barred her from consideration for promotion or elevation for three years.

Grand Kadi Salihu was suspended over his involvement in reopening a judgment previously delivered by the FCT Upper Area Court.

The council found that he exceeded his authority by setting up a committee to review the earlier judgment. He subsequently transferred the matter to another judge, who received fresh evidence and delivered a different judgment.

The NJC considered the process an attempt to appeal against an existing judgment delivered by a court with the authority to determine the matter.

Justice Biambo was also suspended for ordering the arrest of litigants and imposing a fine of ₦300,000 on each of them in connection with a civil dispute.

The council found that he took the action without observing the required contempt proceedings or serving the necessary legal documents.

Like Grand Kadi Salihu, Justice Biambo was also barred from consideration for elevation for three years.

Meanwhile, the NJC issued a warning to Justice Kayode Agunloye of the FCT High Court over his handling of garnishee proceedings in a case involving First Bank of Nigeria Plc.

The council faulted him for granting another ex parte application for a Garnishee Order Nisi after an earlier application on the same issue had been withdrawn and struck out.

It also found that he proceeded with the application while other matters, including a request for a stay of execution, were still awaiting determination.

In another disciplinary decision, the NJC approved warnings and cautions for other judicial officers over their handling of court cases.

Justice Bello Kawu was among those sanctioned for granting interim bail to former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, despite an existing remand order issued by another judge.

Justices Danjuma Oyigbenu and Isa Ebini Kana also received warning letters for delivering judgments in an appeal after the 90-day period prescribed by the Constitution.

Other judges who received cautions or were placed on the council’s Watch List include Justice Mohammed Zubairu of the FCT High Court.

He was faulted for issuing court orders after being informed that an appeal had already been entered at the Court of Appeal.

Justice C. A. Ogbuagor of the Enugu State High Court was also cautioned for continuing proceedings in a case despite a pending appeal and an application for a stay of execution.

Similarly, Justice Chibuike Azuama of the Imo State High Court was sanctioned for granting an ex parte garnishee order that froze the bank accounts of Puma Energy, even though the company was not a party to the main case.
