Victor Boniface announces retirement from Nigeria national team

Victor Boniface announces retirement from Nigeria national team

Super Eagles forward Victor Boniface has announced his retirement from international football at the age of 24.

The Bayer Leverkusen striker made the announcement late Friday night via his Instagram page.

Proud to play for my country and a dream for me also, really enjoyed every moment—the good and the bad. Thanks a lot, thank you all. I don hang boot,” Boniface wrote.

The announcement comes just minutes after Nigeria’s 1-1 draw against Russia in a friendly match in Moscow. Boniface started the game and led the Super Eagles’ attack but once again failed to find the back of the net. His replacement, Tolu Arokodare, salvaged a draw for Nigeria with an equalizer in the 71st minute.

Boniface’s struggles in front of goal have recently attracted criticism, and his national team form has been under scrutiny.

He also faces uncertainty over his future at Bayer Leverkusen, especially following the appointment of Erik ten Hag as the club’s new head coach.

I Struggle Hafsoh Lawal To Death During Sex, Abdulrahman Bello Confess in Court

I Struggle Hafsoh Lawal To Death During Sex, Abdulrahman Bello Confess in Court

Abdulrahman Bello, a 29-year-old Self Acclaimed cleric, stunned a Kwara State court on Tuesday by confessing in a video that he strangled 24-year-old Hafsoh Lawal to death during sex.

The shocking revelation was made during a court sitting on 4th June before Judge Anna Olushoda Ajayi. Two witnesses were present: Ayodeji Joshua, a DSS officer, and Dr Kunle Adebowale, Vice Chairman of CDHR.

Ayodeji presented a video recording in which Abdulrahman confessed to the crime . The entire courtroom fell silent as everyone felt the pain Hafsoh must have experienced in her final moments.

The judge adjourned the case to 11th June for Abdulrahman to testify to the video’s contents.

The Story So far

The tragic tale began on 10th February 2025 when Hafsoh, a final-year student at Kwara State College of Education, Ilorin, went missing. She had attended a naming ceremony that day. While eating at the event, she received a phone call and left, never to be seen again.

Her father, Mr Ibrahim A. Lawal, reported her missing at the C Division Oja Oba Police the next day.

Police investigations quickly led to Abdulrahman Bello. Forensic analysis traced Hafsoh’s last phone call to him. Abdulrahman, an Islamic cleric from Offa Garage, Ilorin, initially denied knowing her. However, police searching his home were horrified to find Hafsoh’s dismembered body stuffed inside a bowl.

Faced with the evidence, Abdulrahman changed his story. He now claimed that Hafsoh had died from an asthma attack while at his home.

Investigators remained unconvinced, especially after finding tools that suggested she had been cut up deliberately. Many now believe Hafsoh’s killing was for ritual purposes.

It was revealed that Abdulrahman and Hafsoh had met on Facebook and that on that fateful day, he lured her to his house under the pretext of a friendly visit.

Ladies and everyone need to be more careful. The world is full of dangerous people. Investigation is still ongoing, but one thing is clear: Hafsoh’s family and community want justice.

Stay tuned for updates as the case continues.

You Are Sabotaging God’s Intention For Us Onaiyekan Slams Tinubu for putting Nigeria Into Poverty

According to a recent video by Symfoni TV, Former Catholic Archbishop of Abuja, Cardinal John Onaiyekan, has accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of deliberately plunging Nigerians into poverty for political control. In a scathing statement, Onaiyekan said poverty is not God’s will and described its weaponization as “not only criminal but blasphemous.”

He emphasized that God has provided enough for every Nigerian, and any form of poverty in the country stems from greed and mismanagement. “You are sabotaging God’s intention for humanity,” he declared, adding that poverty is not a matter for prayer and fasting but a governance failure.

Onaiyekan questioned the integrity of Nigeria’s democracy, arguing that those in power do not genuinely want citizens to choose their leaders. He warned that deepening poverty has discouraged civic participation and threatens the foundation of the nation’s future.

His Words: “ You are sabotaging God’s intention for humanity.

Akwa Ibom Governor’s Daughter Accuses Father Of Sacrificing Late First Lady, Alleges Threat To Life

Akwa Ibom Governor’s Daughter Accuses Father Of Sacrificing Late First Lady, Alleges Threat To Life

Jane Edidiong Ufot, the daughter of Akwa Ibom Governor Umo Eno, has posted a video on social media accusing him of sacrificing his deceased wife (her mother). Patience Oluwakemi Umo Eno died in September 2024 over an undisclosed illness.

Mrs Ufot, appointed as a senior special adviser to the governor on health, safety and environment, blasted her father, insisting that she would not be sacrificed the way her mother was, alleging a sinister threat to her life and that of her little daughter.

“I’m not a sacrifice, mummy was, but I’m not,” thundered the governor’s daughter.

Mrs Ufot handed the phone to her little daughter, who appeared to be on a video call with Mr Eno. Mrs Ufot told her daughter to ask the governor whether he wanted to kill her (his grandchild).

“So, Grandpa, do you want them to kill us?” the minor asked, repeating the question as instructed. “Do you want them to die like my baby brother died?”

There was no audible response from the governor during the exchange, and it remains unclear who the child was referring to when she mentioned “them.”

Mrs Ufot said her life was on the line due to undisclosed revelations that may soon come to light.

“If I die today or my daughter dies. If we die because God is exposing the truth, so be it. But my blood will not go scot-free,” the governor’s daughter cried out.

Efforts to get the governor’s comment on his daughter’s accusations were unsuccessful as the line of his media aide, Ekerete Udoh, was switched off.
