Libya's Central Bank Halts Operations After Kidnapping of Senior Official Ayize claire Aug 19, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link The cental bank of Libya Libya’s central bank has announced a suspension of all operations following the abduction of a senior official. The Tripoli-based bank, which serves as the internationally recognized depository for the country’s oil revenues, stated it will not resume work until the official is released. The kidnapped official, Musaab Muslam, is the head of the bank’s Information Technology department. His abduction by an unknown group on Sunday has raised serious concerns about the security of bank personnel and the stability of Libya's financial system. In a statement, the central bank condemned what it described as "mob-like methods" used by some parties operating outside the law. The bank also revealed that other officials had received threats, prompting the decision to halt operations. The statement called for immediate intervention by the authorities to ensure the safety of its staff and the resumption of normal activities. International Concerns and Warnings The U.S. ambassador to Libya, Richard Norland, has also expressed concerns over the rising tensions. Last week, Norland warned that attempts to forcibly replace the central bank’s senior management could jeopardize Libya’s access to international financial markets. He emphasized the importance of resolving disputes over the distribution of Libya's wealth through transparent and inclusive negotiations. Norland met with the central bank’s governor, Sadiq Kabir, to discuss the growing threat posed by armed groups surrounding the bank’s headquarters in Tripoli. The U.S. embassy echoed these concerns, stressing the need for a unified, consensus-based budget for the nation. A Country in Crisis Libya has been embroiled in chaos since the 2011 NATO-backed uprising that led to the overthrow of longtime dictator Muammar Gaddafi. The country split in 2014 between rival governments based in the west (Tripoli) and the east (Benghazi), resulting in years of conflict and instability. The central bank has remained a crucial institution in managing Libya’s oil revenues, which are vital to the nation’s economy. The suspension of the bank’s operations adds another layer of uncertainty to Libya’s already fragile situation. The bank's role as the main depository for oil revenues makes it a key player in any efforts to stabilize the economy, and its shutdown could have significant repercussions on the country's financial stability. Authorities have yet to identify the group responsible for Muslam’s kidnapping or provide details on their motives. However, the central bank's call for action underscores the urgency of addressing the threats facing one of Libya’s most critical institutions.

UEFA Champions League: Thierry Henry Predicts This Season's Trophy Winner Prince Jean Nov 13, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link Thierry Henry names Barcelona as favorites to win this season's UEFA Champions League, citing their strong form under Hansi Flick. Credit:gettyimages France football legend Thierry Henry has named Barcelona as one of the favorites to win this season's UEFA Champions League. Speaking to CBS Sports, the former Arsenal and Barcelona player praised the Catalan club for their exceptional performances under new manager Hansi Flick. Henry highlighted that Barcelona’s past setbacks in the competition could play a crucial role in their success this year. The team, after losing their opening match to AS Monaco, made a remarkable comeback with dominant victories over Young Boys (5-0 at home), Bayern Munich (4-1 at home), and Crvena zvezda (5-2 away). “I think this team right now has to be considered as one of the favorites to win it,” Henry said. “Sometimes, you need to lose a semi-final or quarter-final to understand how hard it is, but I do think they are equipped to go all the way.” Barcelona, under Flick’s guidance, has shown significant improvement this season. Henry, who won his only Champions League title with Barcelona during the 2008-09 season, believes the team has what it takes to secure the trophy once again.

Victor Osimhen: From Premier League Target to Free Agent Prince Jean Sep 2, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link Victor Osimhen’s Uncertain Future: From Napoli Star to Potential Free Agent. Photo:gettyimages At Antonio Conte's inaugural press conference as Napoli's head coach, one of the first questions directed at him was about the future of star striker Victor Osimhen. Sitting alongside club President Aurelio De Laurentiis, Conte acknowledged the complexities surrounding Osimhen’s situation, stating, "I’m aware of the Osimhen issue. There are existing agreements with the club, which are beyond my purview. He’s a top player, but I cannot discuss matters that were settled before my arrival." Osimhen, the prolific Nigeria international, had requested a transfer, and Napoli, willing to cooperate, had previously agreed to a contract extension until June 2026. This new deal included a €130 million ($143.79 million) release clause, designed to protect the club’s interests while potentially facilitating Osimhen’s move. After a standout 2022/23 season where Osimhen emerged as Serie A’s top scorer with 26 goals, leading Napoli to a historic league title, his market value soared. Clubs across Europe, including Arsenal, Chelsea, Real Madrid, and PSG, were linked with the striker. Napoli President De Laurentiis even mentioned these clubs when discussing Osimhen’s future in January. As the summer transfer window approached, Arsenal and Chelsea were expected to make substantial bids. However, negotiations stalled. Real Madrid, having already invested heavily in Kylian Mbappé, and PSG, cutting costs after the French captain’s exit, stepped back from pursuing Osimhen. A surprise move came from Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli, who reportedly offered Osimhen a four-year contract worth €40 million ($44 million) per season, along with a reasonable release clause for European clubs. However, the deal collapsed when Napoli demanded an additional €5 million ($5.5 million) on top of Al-Ahli’s €80 million ($88 million) offer. The Saudi club pivoted to signing Ivan Toney from Brentford, leaving Chelsea as Osimhen’s last viable option. Chelsea's offer, reportedly €4 million ($4.4 million) per year plus incentives, was significantly lower than Osimhen’s current €10 million ($11.06 million) Napoli salary. Unsurprisingly, the striker declined, and the transfer window closed without a resolution. Napoli then took a firm stance, excluding Osimhen from their 25-man Serie A squad and reassigning his number 9 shirt to Romelu Lukaku. Napoli’s sporting director, Giovanni Manna, clarified the club’s position before their match against Parma, stating, "Victor expressed his desire to leave Napoli, and we tried to accommodate him. However, negotiations fell through, and we’ve made other choices based on his decision." With the Saudi transfer window closing on September 2 and Turkish clubs able to sign players until September 18, there remains a slim chance that Osimhen could secure a move. Otherwise, he faces the prospect of sitting on the sidelines until January, earning his substantial salary but not playing. The situation leaves Napoli and Osimhen in a tense standoff, with the striker's future hanging in the balance.

Chelsea Resumes Negotiations for Nigerian Talent Amid Interest from Al-Ahli Prince Jean Aug 27, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link helsea Reignite Pursuit of Victor Osimhen Amid Competition from Al-Ahli. Credit:gettyimages Chelsea has reportedly resumed negotiations to sign Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen from Napoli, as interest in the Super Eagles star intensifies. The Premier League club is eager to bolster their attacking options before the summer transfer window closes, with Osimhen emerging as a top target. According to Sky Sports journalist Kaveh Solhekol, Chelsea's pursuit of Osimhen comes amid strong competition from Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli. The Saudi side is reportedly close to agreeing on a €65 million deal with Napoli, though the Nigerian forward has yet to be convinced of a move to the Middle East. Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano adds that Al-Ahli and Napoli are nearing an agreement, but Osimhen’s agent has dismissed reports linking the 25-year-old with a transfer to Saudi Arabia. This development leaves Chelsea as a strong contender for his signature in the final days of the transfer window. Read Also how Osimhen Sets Conditions for Move to Saudi Arabian Club Following €65M Offer Victor Osimhen has solidified his reputation as one of the world’s top strikers since joining Napoli from LOSC Lille in 2020. The Nigerian international has netted 76 goals and provided 18 assists in 133 appearances for the Serie A champions, making him one of the most sought-after forwards in Europe. With Chelsea in need of a prolific striker to complement their attacking lineup, the club sees Osimhen as a viable solution. Despite the Blues' interest, negotiations over a potential deal have hit roadblocks regarding the structure of the transfer. Nevertheless, Chelsea's desire to sign a top striker remains strong as they prepare for the final push in the summer window. As the transfer saga unfolds, Chelsea and Al-Ahli continue to battle for Osimhen’s services, though the Nigerian forward currently leans towards remaining in Europe. The outcome could significantly impact both clubs' ambitions this season.

Michael Olise Shines in Debut: Scores First Goal for Bayern Munich Within 12 Minutes, Winning Over Fans Instantly Prince Jean Aug 20, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link Michael Olise Impresses with First Bayern Munich Goal in Just 12 Minutes During Friendly Victory Over Grasshoppers. Photo:gettyimages Michael Olise made an immediate impact in his first start for Bayern Munich, scoring a sensational goal just 12 minutes into the Bavarian club's friendly match against Swiss side Grasshoppers. The 22-year-old winger unleashed a left-footed volley into the far corner from inside the penalty area, quickly winning over Bayern fans. Supporters were ecstatic about Olise's performance, with one fan stating, "What a complete player. He plays like he doesn't have a care in the world!" Another fan commented, "The Olise hype train is being justified every day." A third wrote, "I can't believe my eyes, Olise is unreal," while another added, "Olise is hitting 40 G+A this season." Bayern Munich dominated the match, securing a 4-0 victory. Harry Kane doubled the lead two minutes into the second half, followed by goals from Mathys Tel and Thomas Müller to seal the win. Olise's goal came just days after he made his first contribution for Bayern in a DFB-Pokal clash against second-tier side Ulm. Coming on as a substitute, he assisted Kingsley Coman's goal within two minutes of his arrival on the pitch. Olise joined Bayern Munich earlier this summer in a £60 million transfer deal, turning down a move to Chelsea. Reflecting on his decision, Olise explained, "The talks with FC Bayern were very positive, and I’m very happy to now be playing for such a big club. It's a great challenge, and that's exactly what I was looking for. I want to prove myself at this level and help the team win as many titles as possible." The French winger began his youth career at Chelsea's academy before joining Manchester City. He later moved to Reading, where he made his professional debut and quickly became one of the standout players in the Championship. Last season, Olise scored ten goals for Crystal Palace, marking his best campaign in the Premier League. With a strong start at Bayern Munich, Olise looks set to have a breakthrough season with the Bundesliga champions. Fans are already predicting big things for the talented winger, who could become a key figure in Bayern’s title pursuits this season.

Former CAF President Issa Hayatou Passes Away at 77 Prince Jean Aug 9, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link Former CAF President Issa Hayatou congratulates Lionel Messi during a FIFA Ballon d'Or ceremony, highlighting his significant role in global football governance. Issa Hayatou, the long-serving former president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), has passed away at the age of 77. The Cameroonian football administrator led CAF for an impressive 29 years, beginning his presidency in 1988 and concluding his tenure in 2017. Hayatou also played a significant role in global football governance. He served on the FIFA Executive Committee (now the FIFA Council) from 1990 until 2017. His influence extended further when he briefly assumed the role of acting FIFA president from 2015 to 2016, following the suspension of Sepp Blatter. FIFA President Gianni Infantino expressed his condolences on Instagram, remembering Hayatou as a passionate sports enthusiast who dedicated his life to sports administration. "Saddened to hear of the passing of former CAF president, former FIFA president ad interim, FIFA vice president and FIFA council member, Issa Hayatou," Infantino wrote. "On behalf of FIFA, condolences go to his family, friends, former colleagues, and all who knew him. Rest in peace." In his earlier years, Hayatou was not only a football administrator but also a talented track athlete and basketball player. Despite his contributions, Hayatou faced controversy towards the end of his career. In August 2021, FIFA imposed a one-year ban on him for violating its code of ethics concerning a significant deal signed with French media company Lagardère in 2016. However, the Court of Arbitration for Sport overturned this sanction in February 2022.

Tanzania Unveils $3.1 Billion Railway to Transform National and Regional Trade Ayize claire Aug 1, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link A modern high-speed train awaits departure at a newly constructed railway station Tanzania has launched a $3.1 billion modern standard gauge railway to enhance its transport infrastructure. The 541-kilometer railway, constructed by the Turkish firm Yapi Merkezi, connects the administrative capital, Dodoma, with the commercial hub, Dar es Salaam. This project is part of a broader initiative by African governments to develop infrastructure such as roads, railways, and bridges. However, there has been criticism over the loans from countries like China, which some argue could burden future generations with debt. President Samia Suluhu Hassan inaugurated the electric train services at a ceremony in Dar es Salaam and took a four-hour train ride to Dodoma. The newly launched sections are part of a planned 2,561-kilometer rail network aimed at boosting domestic and regional trade. In 2020, Tanzania secured a $1.46 billion loan from Standard Chartered Bank Tanzania to partially fund the newly launched stretch. Hassan emphasized the government's commitment to extending the railway to Kigoma to enhance regional trade connectivity. The administration is also working on a rail line towards Mwanza on Lake Victoria and planning another to Kigoma, linking with Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo. At a stop in Morogoro, Hassan highlighted the railway's potential to transform local businesses. The rail link to Burundi is expected to facilitate the annual transport of three million tons of minerals, including nickel, to Dar es Salaam's port, according to the Tanzanian finance ministry. This development underscores Tanzania's strategic efforts to bolster its infrastructure and economic prospects. Business and Industry Thika Cloth Mills Boosts Kenya’s Cotton Industry .

Wizkid: Wealthy Have Weaponized Poverty to Gain Worship from the Poor Prince Jean Oct 2, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link Wizkid Accuses Nigeria's Wealthy of Using Poverty to Gain Worship, Takes Shots at Davido. Credit:gettyimages Afrobeats star Ayodeji Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, has sparked controversy by accusing Nigeria’s rich of weaponizing poverty to make the poor "worship" them. The singer made the bold claim while engaging in a heated social media exchange with fellow artist Davido on Wednesday. Wizkid, known for hits like "More Love, Less Ego," began targeting Davido on Tuesday night, resuming his online attacks the following day. In his posts, Wizkid claimed that despite Davido's wealthy background, he was more successful and wealthier than the DMW boss, who is known for his hit song "Omo Baba Olowo." Labeling Davido as a "spoiled rich kid," Wizkid alleged that the "Unavailable" singer is "cheap" and charges less than most top-tier artists in the music industry. Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) account, Wizkid wrote: "First off, you’re not as fly as me, can’t sing or make music like me, you can’t dress, you don’t make more money than me, you don’t even got shoes like me. You’re cheap, you pull up for less than we do! F ck off you spoiled rich child! F ck you and your dad’s money, we got ours! Every n gga around you broke! Your dumb ss lawyer flies with you everywhere dressed like Basketmouth lol, our lawyers are too busy for that sh t!”* Wizkid further criticized Davido's claim of being "001" in the Nigerian music industry, accusing him of surrounding himself with poor people to gain their admiration. He claimed this was a result of the rich exploiting poverty in the country. "Naija is a place where the rich weaponize poverty so you carry all these broke boys in real life and get them visas so they worship you. Call yourself 001, you delusional! The only time you're 001 is at home. You're not 001 of anything but Instagram followers!" The fiery exchange has ignited discussions across social media, with fans of both artists weighing in on the rivalry.

South Sudan's Basketball Team: Forging a New countrie's image Prince Jean Jul 22, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link South Sudan's Bright Stars in action during a pivotal basketball game South Sudan, the world’s youngest nation, is transforming its historical narrative from conflict to triumph through basketball. Emerging from one of the longest civil wars, the country now garners attention for its athletic achievements. The men’s national basketball team, the Bright Stars, have secured a spot at the Paris 2024 Olympics and recently came within seconds of a historic win against the United States. The Rise of the Bright Stars The Bright Stars’ rise to prominence in the international basketball arena is largely attributed to the influence of former NBA star Luol Deng. Deng, who spent 15 years in the NBA, has been a cornerstone of this transformation. His personal story of fleeing war-torn South Sudan as a child, finding refuge in the United Kingdom, and eventually becoming a basketball icon is a testament to resilience and determination. “Since I was born, I have known nothing but conversations about war,” Deng told BBC Sport Africa. “Whenever I was in school, even when I was in the NBA, it was always 'refugees left because of war' and 'war-torn country'. Now we are finding a new story.” A Historic Near Victory The team’s recent near victory against the United States marks a significant milestone in their journey. This game, which saw the Bright Stars narrowly miss a historic win, underscores their growing capability to compete with the best teams globally. It also serves as a powerful symbol of hope and progress for a nation eager for positive change. Luol Deng’s Leadership Luol Deng’s return to South Sudan as the head of the South Sudan Basketball Federation has been pivotal. His leadership and vision have galvanized the team and inspired a new generation of South Sudanese athletes. Deng’s dedication to the team’s success is helping to redefine South Sudan’s international image from one of conflict to one of achievement and potential. As the Bright Stars prepare for the Paris 2024 Olympics, their journey embodies the spirit of resilience and the power of sports to unite and inspire. The near victory over the United States is not just a game; it is a testament to what the team can achieve and a beacon of hope for the future.
