News Report by Sani Michael Omakoji Dr. Israel Onoriode Ugbo, a netpreneur, researcher and administrator, has called on women, particularly young women, to look beyond physical beauty and focus on character, knowledge, skills, purpose and meaningful contribution to society.

The author argues that while physical appearance may attract attention, lasting value is built through good character, continuous learning, competence and purposeful…
By Sani Michael Omakoji The Nigeria Football Federation is searching for a new technical crew for the Super Falcons following the dismissal of head coach Justin Madugu, with Nigerians now demanding a stronger and more competitive team ahead of the next phase of the 2028 Olympic qualifying campaign. Madugu’s departure comes after growing scrutiny of the team’s performances and tactical direction. The Super Falcons remain Africa’s most successful women’s national team, but recent results have intensified calls for a coaching structure capable of translating Nigeria’s abundance of talent into consistent performances and major victories. The pressure increased during the 2026…
By Sani Michael Omakoji Nigeria’s 2027 political season officially enters a critical phase today, August 19, 2026, with the commencement of campaigns for the Presidential and National Assembly elections. The Independent National Electoral Commission has fixed January 16, 2027, for those elections, while campaigns for the Governorship and State Houses of Assembly elections are scheduled to begin on September 9, with voting set for February 6, 2027. The campaign season should therefore begin a serious national conversation about the country’s future, rather than another cycle of rallies, insults and personality attacks. The major political parties, including the All Progressives Congress,…

By Sani Michael Omakoji Osun State has spoken, and its voice has echoed far beyond the boundaries of the state. In one of the most keenly watched governorship contests in recent memory, Governor Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party has emerged victorious, polling 511,067 votes to defeat the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Oyebamiji, who scored 444,815 votes. The African Democratic Congress candidate, Najeem Salaam, trailed in third place. This outcome, announced after a tense and closely monitored collation process, has been described by many observers as nothing short of the triumph of ordinary people over the machinery…
By, Sani Michael Omakoji The Super Falcons’ failure to qualify for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil is a painful and historic setback for Nigerian football. For the first time since the tournament began in 1991, Nigeria will not be represented at the global showpiece, bringing an end to the team’s remarkable record of appearing at every previous edition. The failure was not primarily due to a lack of talent, but to Nigeria’s inability to convert opportunities when they mattered most. The Super Falcons created enough chances in their crucial matches but lacked the clinical finishing required at…
By Sani Michael Omakoji The recent controversial remarks attributed to Sheikh Sani Yahaya Jingir at a political gathering have reignited concerns over the growing politicisation of religion in Nigeria ahead of the 2027 general elections. Jingir, a prominent Islamic cleric based in Jos, reportedly referred to Christians as “infidels” while speaking in support of the Muslim-Muslim political arrangement. Such rhetoric, particularly when delivered on a political platform, is deeply concerning because it risks portraying fellow citizens through the narrow lens of religious identity and further deepening Nigeria’s existing religious divisions. The bigger concern, however, is the apparent silence of the…
By, Sani Michael Omakoji It is painful, unfortunate and regrettable that Nigeria’s Super Falcons bowed out of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) after losing to Cameroon’s Indomitable Lionesses last night. However, beyond the disappointment of the result, the Super Falcons deserve commendation and appreciation rather than the wave of criticism and outright attacks currently trailing their exit on social media. Undoubtedly, Nigerians expected more from the team. Given the pedigree, experience and quality of the Super Falcons, there was a legitimate expectation that they would progress further in the tournament. But football is not always determined by…
