Kompany Explains Why Bayern Fell Short As PSG Reach Champions League Final.
Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany admitted that narrow margins denied his team a place in the UEFA Champions League final following their semi-final elimination by Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, May 6.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The German side played out a 1-1 draw at the Allianz Arena but were knocked out 6-5 on aggregate after suffering a 5-4 defeat in the first leg in Paris. Speaking after the match, a disappointed Kompany said the contest was decided by small details, while also refusing to blame his players for the exit. “It’s obviously tough to take; we lost narrowly. We matched PSG, these games are decided by small details,” he said. Bayern started the game brightly and created several dangerous moments in the opening half, putting PSG under sustained pressure for long periods. The Bundesliga giants consistently found space in wide areas and committed numbers forward, but they were unable to convert their attacking play into decisive goals. “Our first half was good, I felt that we were the better team and often got into the areas where we are dangerous, but PSG defended the crosses very well,” Kompany added. He praised PSG manager Luis Enrique’s side for their defensive organisation, noting that despite Bayern’s attacking efforts, the French champions remained disciplined and prevented them from getting crucial final shots away. “They were very active. Although we got into dangerous situations, they made sure we didn’t get the final shot off. The Champions League is over for us for now,” he said. The defeat brings Bayern’s European campaign to an end, with focus now expected to shift to domestic objectives as the club begins preparations for next season.

“50% Of You Don’t Even Have PVCs” — Jonathan Fires Back At Youths Begging Him To Contest 2027.
Former President Goodluck Jonathan has called on Nigerian youths to actively take part in the country’s electoral process.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
He made the appeal on Thursday when a large group of young people visited his residence to urge him to contest the 2027 presidential election.
Addressing the gathering, Jonathan noted that while many of the youths were calling for his return to politics, a significant number of them did not possess Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).
He used the opportunity to draw attention to growing voter apathy in the country, urging the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to address the issue. According to him, many Nigerians, especially young people, appear disengaged from elections.
Jonathan stressed that youths must be fully involved in the democratic process, warning that political participation begins with voter registration.
He said, “Probably 50% of you don’t even have voters card and you are asking me to go and contest the election.”
Meanwhile, a Federal High Court in Abuja is set to hear on Friday a suit seeking to stop Jonathan from contesting the 2027 presidential election.
The case was filed by lawyer Johnmary Jideobi, who is asking the court to declare the former president constitutionally ineligible to run again.
On April 28, Justice Peter Lifu ordered that hearing notices be served on all defendants, who had yet to file their responses.
The plaintiff is seeking an order restraining Jonathan from presenting himself to any political party as a candidate, as well as preventing INEC from accepting or publishing his name.
Jonathan is listed as the first defendant in the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/2102/2025, while INEC and the Attorney-General of the Federation are joined as second and third defendants.
The plaintiff is asking the court to interpret constitutional provisions to determine whether Jonathan is still eligible to contest, given that he had completed the tenure of the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua before winning a full term in 2011.
In an affidavit, Emmanuel Agida argued that Jonathan had already served the constitutional limit of two terms and that allowing him to run again would amount to a third presidential oath of office.
He said the case was filed in the public interest to uphold constitutional supremacy and preserve the integrity of Nigeria’s democratic system.
A mild drama unfolded on Thursday during the Senate plenary between Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele and Senator Adams Oshiomhole of Edo North.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The incident followed the Senate’s decision to reverse amendments to its Standing Orders, a move that reopened competition for key leadership positions in the 11th National Assembly, including the Senate Presidency race ahead of 2027. The reversal, backed by a motion sponsored by Bamidele, removed earlier restrictions that had limited eligibility for the top seat. The development effectively paved the way for lawmakers such as Hope Uzodimma, Adams Oshiomhole, and others to contest for Senate President in 2027. Shortly after the reversal, Oshiomhole called for more thorough debate on key decisions, arguing that the amendment process earlier passed on Tuesday was rushed. However, his remarks were challenged by Bamidele, who raised a point of order and described the comments as unnecessary. The Senate Leader said lawmakers were all present during the proceedings and witnessed what he termed avoidable drama. He advised Oshiomhole to channel any concerns through proper leadership channels instead of disrupting plenary sessions, stressing that the Senate would not tolerate conduct that undermines its proceedings. “We were all in the chamber and witnessed the kind of drama that went on even though it was totally unnecessary,” Bamidele said. He further warned that such incidents were projecting a negative image of the National Assembly and must be avoided going forward. Citing Order 52(6) of the Senate Rules, Bamidele explained that any previously decided matter could only be revisited through a formal motion for rescission. He added that if Oshiomhole had issues with the amendment, the proper procedure was to file a substantive motion rather than raise objections during plenary. “We cannot allow this kind of drama to go on every time on the floor of this Senate. We must put a stop to it,” he stated. Presiding over the session, Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin upheld the point of order raised by the Senate Leader.
