To those insulting Samuel Chukwueze for missing a penalty: calling an Igbo man names because of one moment on the pitch is pure tribal bigotry. Football is about skill, effort, and teamwork, not your narrow-minded prejudice.

Here’s the 2025 Super Eagles squad in Morocco with their tribes:

🧤 Goalkeepers

Stanley Nwabali — Igbo
Francis Uzoho — Igbo
Amas Obasogie — Edo

🛡️ Defenders

Calvin Bassey — Igbo
Semi Ajayi — Yoruba
Bright Osayi-Samuel — Edo
Bruno Onyemaechi — Igbo
Chidozie Awaziem — Igbo
Zaidu Sanusi — Hausa/Fulani
Igoh Ogbu — Igbo
Ryan Alebiosu — Yoruba

⚙️ Midfielders

Wilfred Ndidi — Igbo
Alex Iwobi — Igbo
Frank Onyeka — Igbo
Raphael Onyedika — Igbo
Tochukwu Nnadi — Igbo
Ebenezer Akinsanmiro — Yoruba
Fisayo Dele-Bashiru — Yoruba
Usman Muhammed — Hausa

⚡ Forwards

Victor Osimhen — Edo
Ademola Lookman — Yoruba
Samuel Chukwueze — Igbo
Moses Simon — Idoma
Chidera Ejuke — Igbo
Akor Adams — Idoma
Paul Onuachu — Igbo
Cyriel Dessers — Igbo
Salim Fago Lawal — Hausa

📝 Tribe Total:

Igbo = 15
Edo = 3
Yoruba = 5
Hausa / Fulani = 3
Ogoni = 1
Idoma= 2

The Igbos are clearly the backbone of the Super Eagles, from goalkeepers to forwards, they dominate the squad and carry Nigeria on their shoulders.
So next time you want to insult a player, remember: it’s skill, not tribe, that makes our team strong. Respect all players, respect Nigeria 🇳🇬."

General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu gave his last speech as Biafran Head-of-State before leaving for Côte d'Ivoire, on this date. On that occasion, he said:
“In the three years of the war, necessity gave birth to invention. During those three years of heroic bound, we leapt across the great chasm that separates knowledge from know-how. We built rockets, and we designed and built our own delivery systems. We guided our rockets. We guided them far, we guided them accurately.

For three years, blockaded without hope of import, we maintained all our vehicles. The state extracted and refined petrol, individuals refined petrol in their back gardens. We built and maintained our airports, maintained them under heavy bombardment.

Despite the heavy bombardment, we recovered so quickly after each raid that we were able to maintain the record for the busiest airport in the continent of Africa. We spoke to the world through telecommunication system engineered by local ingenuity; the world heard us and spoke back to us! We built armoured car tanks. We modified aircraft from trainer to fighters, from passenger aircraft to bombers. In the three years of freedom we had broken the technological barrier.

✨Chinua Achebe (1930–2013): The Voice That Reclaimed Africa’s Story

Chinua Achebe—born Albert Chinụalụmọgụ Achebe—was not merely a writer. He was a cultural force, a literary revolutionary, and the unwavering conscience of a continent. Widely acclaimed as the father of modern African literature in English, Achebe transformed how Africa tells its own story—and how the world listens.

Born on 16 November 1930 in Ogidi, Nigeria, during the height of British colonial rule, Achebe stood at the crossroads of Igbo tradition and Western education. From this intersection emerged a voice that would confront empire, challenge distortion, and restore dignity to African history.

With the publication of Things Fall Apart (1958), Achebe shattered colonial narratives. The novel offered the world an authentic portrait of pre-colonial African society and exposed the devastating consequences of imperial intrusion. Translated into 60+ languages and selling over 20 million copies, it remains one of the most influential books ever written.

Across novels such as No Longer at Ease, Arrow of God, A Man of the People, and Anthills of the Savannah, Achebe fearlessly examined power, identity, corruption, resistance, and cultural survival. His mastery lay in blending English prose with Igbo oral tradition, proving that African worldviews could thrive within global literary spaces—without apology.

Beyond fiction, Achebe was a teacher, critic, and moral voice. He openly challenged Western misrepresentations of Africa, most notably in his critique of Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness. Even in recognition, he remained principled—rejecting national honors twice in protest against failed leadership in Nigeria.

After a life-altering car accident in 1990, Achebe continued to write, teach, and inspire from the United States until his passing on 21 March 2013. His physical limitations never silenced his intellect.

Achebe’s legacy is eternal.
He did not just write stories—he reclaimed history, restored identity, and redefined African literature for generations to come.

Human Rights: The Infamous Rule of Buhari

Muhammadu Buhari ruled Nigeria from 2015–2023. Here are some of the gross human rights violations during his rule:

1. Mass slaughter of over 350 men, women and children by Nigerian military in Zaria between 12–14 December 2015. Exactly 10–years ago, hundreds of men, women and children were slaughtered in Zaria and the military attempted to cover-up this crime, demonstrating an utter contempt for human life and accountability. Amnesty International published evidence gathered on the ground, revealing how the Nigerian military burned people alive, razed buildings and dumped victims’ bodies in mass graves. No one was held to account.

2. The Nigerian security forces carried out chilling campaign of extrajudicial executions and violence resulting in the deaths of at least 150 peaceful pro-Biafra protesters between August 2015 and August 2016. By far the largest number of pro-Biafra activists were killed on Biafra Remembrance Day on 30 May 2016 when an estimated 1,000 IPOB members and supporters gathered for a rally in Onitsha, Anambra State. The night before the rally, security forces raided homes and a church where IPOB members were sleeping. Many were slaughtered, some burnt alive.

3. The Buhari administration’s failure to bring perpetrators to justice fuelled a bloody escalation in the conflict between farmers and herders across the country, resulting in at least 3,641 deaths in three years. Over 57% of the 3,641 recorded deaths occurred in 2018. At least 310 attacks were recorded between 5 January 2016 and 5 October 2018. The attacks were most frequent in Adamawa, Benue, Kaduna, Taraba, Plateau and Zamfara.

4. Under Buhari, journalists were arrested, intimidated and harassed. Bloggers were beaten. At least 19 journalists and media practitioners were attacked, arrested, tortured, harassed and threatened between January and September 2019. At least, three journalists had to go into hiding. Daily Trust and Premium Times were raided by security forces.

5. Peaceful protests seeking an end to the atrocities of SARS — a callous unit of the Nigeria Police, was met with violent crackdown. At least, 56 people were killed nationwide. At least, 12 protesters were killed at and Alausa on 20 Oct. 2020. Those who supported were intimidated, bank accounts blocked and put on watchlist at arports.

6. Thousands of women and girls who survived the brutal rule of the Boko Haram armed group were further abused by the Nigerian security forces and CJTF who claim to be rescuing them. The women and girls were r***d, sometimes in exchange for food.

7. Human rights activists were targeted and subjected to various atrocities. Omoyele Sowore, Olawale Bakare and Agba Jalingo were unlawfully detained in August 2019 simply for expressing views critical of the government. Nigeria’s Department of State Security Service (DSS) flagrantly refused to obey a court order to release Omoyele Sowore and Olawale Bakare. Agba Jalingo’s bail applications were repeatedly and unjustifiably rejected.

Malami said the EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, is persecuting him because of the Justice Salami Report, which, according to him, indicted the EFCC Chairman who served as the Secretary of the commission when the report was released.
