Osimhen still in Nigeria-Napoli laments

-



Italian champions, Napoli is reportedly not happy Victor Osimhen is yet to return to Italy as they expect him to start the intensive phase of his recovery work next week.

The 24-year-old striker has been sidelined since October 13 after suffering a hamstring muscle injury in Nigeria’s 2-2 draw with Saudi Arabia in a friendly.

The superstar has missed the club’s last three consecutive games due to his injury.

Osimhen has remained in Nigeria since suffering the injury, leaving Napoli waiting for his return, with his contract negotiations still on the table.

Page 12 of Wednesday’s Gazzetta dello Sport details how Osimhen still hasn’t returned to Italy yet and Napoli wanting him to enter the intensive phase of his recovery work next week, allowing them to start planning for his return.

The recent political drama at the All Progressives Congress (APC) Northeast stakeholders’ meeting in Gombe State offers a sobering but timely lesson  one about unity, mutual respect, and the necessity of strategic inclusion in national politics. The uproar was triggered when Comrade Mustapha Salihu, the APC National Vice Chairman (Northeast), failed to mention Vice President Kashim Shettima a leading figure from the region  while publicly endorsing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term. For many, this was not a mere oversight. It was a symbolic and potentially calculated act that insulted the collective pride of the Northeast. The Core of the Crisis: Recognition and Regional Dignity Vice President Shettima is not just any politician  he is the highest-ranking political figure from the Northeast. In a party meeting attended by ministers, governors, lawmakers, and even the APC National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, such an omission carried a loud message: th...

2019 General Elections' Predictions

                                                I hate to predict election results, but I couldn't resist this one, as it turns out to be very profound. And I honestly place data over sensation. While I have been silent for the most part, on the issues concerning these elections, particularly the presidential elections; what may not be obvious is that I have been quietly researching and making political calculations on the presidential elections specifically, given the interplay of the multi-component variables involved.

This prediction is purely based on scientific trend analysis and may clearly be against popular sentiments or known order. If the prediction offends y...
