In 2018, Nigeria lost Elizabeth Ochanya Ogbanje, a 13-year-old schoolgirl from Benue State whose only dream was to get an education. Instead, she became the face of one of Nigeria’s most painful cases of child sexual abuse. Living with her aunt and uncle ,a lecturer at Benue State Polytechnic, Ugbokolo , was supposed to give her better schooling. But behind those walls, she faced years of sexual assault allegedly from the lecturer, Andrew Ogbuja, and his son, Victor. The abuse left her with vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) , a condition rare in children , and led to her death on October 17, 2018. Now, years later, her name is trending again, as Nigerians revisit her story and the justice that still feels unfinished.

Retirement in Lagos isn’t what it used to be — the days of just chilling on pensions are fading fast. Lagos State is now flipping the script by turning retirees into business owners.

Zimbabwe’s national football team is heading into a critical period with major changes off the pitch. The Zimbabwe Football Association have officially dismissed Michael Nees as head coach after a poor string of results in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. His exit comes at a sensitive time, as the Warriors prepare to face rivals South Africa national football team in an important upcoming fixture.
Zohran Mamdani, a leading candidate in the race to become New York City’s mayor, has launched a strong public critique of the 2026 World Cup ticketing model. He argues that the policies set by FIFA are not just about revenue — they’re turning passionate fans into profit sources. According to him, the sport itself is being reshaped into a business where fans are priced out.
At Arsenal F.C., the heat has been on for manager Mikel Arteta to deliver trophies after years of progress. But former Premier League midfielder Danny Murphy has thrown a curve-ball into the conversation, suggesting that Arteta doesn’t have to win silverware right now to justify his place.

“Collaboration — not just conversation — is how we’ll grow the industry.” That was the vibe from Nigerian Breweries Plc (NB) as it renewed its promise to work closely with customers, partners, regulators, and local communities.
