By that standing, Nigeria is the favourite to beat Morocco in today's match. Despite all that and their current success, coach Waldrum expressed his worries: "I saw them for the first time in September and I was very impressed by the quality of their team and by the football they play," he told the media. "I said as soon as I arrived in Morocco that they are the team that can surprise. I know how this team has developed for three years now. "They are one of the best teams in the competition and are capable of beating any other team. "We have respect for Morocco and the way they have played in this tournament. It's a big challenge for us. Certainly, we have a lot of experience and a lot see us as favourites, but in football everything is possible and we have to be ready for this game." Rasheedat Ajibade and Ghizlane Chebbak are the competition's joint topscorers. She is the player to watch today, as she might seriously threaten Nigeria's defense.

| Osun Election: Peter Obi congratulates Adeleke of the PDP on his victory Posted:
The Labour Party Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has congratulated Osun State Governor-elect Ademola Adeleke on his victory at Saturday's governorship election in the state. Adeleke amassed a total of 403,371 votes defeating the incumbent, Adegboyega Oyetola of the APC, who mustered 375,027 votes. Adeleke of PDP won 17 of the 30 Local Government Areas while his rival won the remaining 13. However, Obi, the Labour Party presidential flagbearer to the 2023 election, reacted to Adeleke's victory in a statement on Sunday night by congratulating the LP governorship candidate, Lasun Yusuff, on his "resolve." He said, "I congratulate the Labour party candidate, Rt. Hon Lasun Sulaimon Yusuff and his running mate, Adeola Adekunle Atanda, for a hard-fought battle and their spirit of resolve and sportsmanship, despite the outcome." He, however, justified the party's performance, saying, "To the Obidient Movement Family and our supporters nationwide, the outcome of this particular election is not a verdict on our exponentially growing strength nationwide, especially when viewed against the fact that we are barely one month old in the party and we had to contend with forces that have been entrenched in the state for the last two decades. "However, within this very short period of only a few weeks, the Labour Party has made its presence and political impact felt nationally. "We must strengthen our collective resolve not to relent in our noble march to take back our country. Much work remains to be done, hence we must focus the totality of our efforts now on the forthcoming 2023 General elections. "In the fullness of time, our message of rescue and recovery will resonate throughout the length and breadth of the Nation and most Nigerian electorate will buy in into our mission to take back Nigeria, for the purpose of rescuing it from continued decline, shift the National psyche from consumption to production and from sharing dwindling resources to creating wealth and frontally combating poverty. – PO" #Osun Election 2022 #Ademola Adeleke #Osun decides #Osun poll #Peter Obi | ||

| News Alert: The Johnsons’ Emu (Ada Ameh) has died Posted:
Veteran actress Ada Ameh who played the role of Emu in the Africa Magic family, is dead. She was reported to have died on Sunday night, and the story has been confirmed by Emeka Rollas, the President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, via telephone as reported by our source, the PUNCH. Rollas said: "We lost Ada. No details at the moment, but we've lost Ada." Although details about her death, unconfirmed reports making the rounds on social media have it that Ada died on Sunday night at a Delta State hospital.
The hospital is yet to publicize the autopsy report of the likely cause or causes of her sudden death. Recall that she opened up about her mental health challenges a few weeks ago. "Everything is going to be fine. I have an issue right now, and it's taking my life. I will not die. We will get over it," Ameh had said. The actress explained that she was given a job but could not carry it out because she was undergoing mental issues. According to Adah, she got pregnant at 13 and gave birth to Aladi Godgift, who died in October 2020 at an age above 30. She was said to have died after surgery in Abuja. Last year the 48-year-old veteran actress visited her daughter's grave site on her one-year remembrance. In addition, she celebrated her posthumous birthday on the late girl's birth date. Source | ||
| Kemi Nelson, ex-zonal women leader of APC, is dead! Posted:
The APC Zonal Women Leader, Kemi Nelson, died on Sunday at 66 after a brief illness. Murtala Ajaka, the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of APC, described the death of Kemi as a big blow to the party. Her sudden death came as a shock to many Lagos APC supporters, especially at the grassroots level. Shortly after the announcement of her death, Gboyega Akosile, Chief Press Secretary to Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, paid homage to the late woman in a tweet on Sunday, saying: "We lost a dear soul to the cold hands of death earlier today. May the soul of the late Chief Mrs. Kemi Nelson, former Southwest Women Leader of the @OfficialAPCNg," Akosule tweeted on Sunday. "Rest in Peace and may God grant her immediate family, friends and associates the fortitude to bear this loss." The national secretariat of the APC also released a statement to reporters in Abuja on Sunday. The statement, signed by Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Murtala Ajaka, described the late Nelson as an amiable personality whose death came as a significant loss to the APC. Ajaka also the late Kemi generous, loyal and dedicated to APC. The statement partly read, "Chief Nelson stood for unity and was in forefront of championing campaigns that favoured the lives of APC members and the masses. She never gave up on any responsibility. Her contributions to the successes of APC in Lagos state and Nigeria is beyond measure." "In 1999, she joined Alliance for Democracy (AD), and from 1999 to 2003, she served as the Lagos State Commissioner for Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation during the tenure of Bola Ahmed Tinubu and has served as the Women Leader of Lagos State Chapter of APC and was later made the South West Women Leader of APC. "She was the only female serving member of the Lagos State Governor's Advisory Council (GAC)." "Nelson was a remarkable woman that devoted her life to women's grassroot mobilization, protecting the cause of women, and encouraging women active participation in politics and setting of goals." "The late women leader was a tireless advocate of women and youth emancipation. She stood for all those in the world of politics who are unable to realize their potential. "In all situations, whether on the public stage or away from the cameras, she has passion for justice, and her deep desire for a better, fairer world for women in politics shone through, and by her attitude. "She has proven it beyond doubt that women could play a great role in governance and can make a difference. "Her tireless efforts earned her the APC Women Leader position, not just in Lagos state but the entire South-west. By that, the respect of thousands of women politicians across the states who were inspired by her commitment to party politics, democracy, women's empowerment and eradication of poverty among women defined her person." #apc #Kemi Nelson | ||
