Victor Osimhen reportedly thr£atened to quit Nigeria’s Afcon squad after an on-pitch cl@sh with Ademola Lookman, Fulham forward, during their 4–0 win over Mozambique. The incident followed earlier teamwork as Lookman set up two of Osimhen’s goals, but frustration grew when passes didn’t reach him.

Osimhen confronted Lookman aggressively, pushed aside captain Wilfred Ndidi, and was even restrained by a Mozambique defender before being substituted for Moses Simon. After the match, he left the stadium early, dropped his accreditation, and said he was “done” with the national team, planning to return to Turkey.

The episode raises concerns over Osimhen’s temperament, coming after a previous clash with former coach Finidi George. Meanwhile, Lookman remains Afcon’s standout performer with seven goal contributions, but Nigeria’s victory has been overshadowed by the potential crisis with their star striker.

According to reports circulating on social media, Victor is said to have emptied his savings to pay dowry and organise an elaborate wedding, hoping to begin a new chapter with his partner. However, the excitement surrounding the union was short-lived after he uncovered that his wife had resumed a relationship with another man she had been involved with prior to their marriage.

A sharp contradiction has emerged between Washington and Tehran over the state of diplomatic contacts between the two countries, with Iranian state media Press TV flatly denying that any negotiations — direct or indirect — have taken place, even as United States President Donald Trump claimed that talks had been productive and were set to continue. Trump made the disclosure early Monday on his Truth Social platform, writing in all capitals that the two countries had engaged in “very good and productive conversations” over the past two days aimed at achieving “a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East.” The US president said he had ordered a halt to his threatened strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure in light of the talks, signalling what appeared to be a diplomatic breakthrough.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that ongoing negotiations led by U.S. President Donald Trump to end the conflict with Iran will not stop Israel from carrying out military operations in the region. “The United States may choose to withdraw from the war, which I respect, but Israel will not. Israel will continue bombing Iran and Lebanon, whether negotiations succeed or not, until all threats to our nation from these countries are eliminated,” Netanyahu told journalists. The statement underscores Israel’s firm stance on national security, even as international efforts continue to mediate tensions in the Middle East.

Jehovah’s Witnesses have introduced a notable shift in their long-standing stance on bl+od transfusions, now allowing members to use their own stored bl+od during medical procedures. Under the updated policy, members can have their bl+od removed, preserved, and later reinfused, particularly in planned s¥rgeries. However, the religious group maintains its strict prohibition against receiving bl+od from others. Gerrit Lösch, a member of the group’s leadership, said the decision reflects personal responsibility, noting that “each Christian must decide for himself how his bl+od will be used in medical and s¥rgical care.” Jehovah’s Witnesses, known for their door-to-door evangelism, say their core belief remains unchanged, citing biblical teachings that instruct followers to “abstain from bl+od.” The group has around 144,000 members in the UK and about nine million globally. Despite the adjustment, critics, especially former members, argue the change falls short. Mitch Melo...
