Leicester City defender, Ashleigh Plumptre, has revealed why she switched her international allegiance to Nigeria despite representing England at youth levels. The 24-year-old said she made the decision because she wanted to uncover more about her heritage. She disclosed this in a recent chat with Kelly Somers of Optus Sports. She said, “For me, I always say that I have to play football for more than just playing it itself. The same way that I chose to join Leicester because of my hometown’s club. “With Nigeria, I wanted to uncover more of my heritage that I hadn’t delved into before because my dad is half-Nigerian and half-English. My grandad was born in Lagos. But I been brought up very British, so, I want to join the Nigerian team where I got to experience food like this, experience more of the culture, I guess.” Plumptre made her debut for the Super Falcons of Nigeria in February 2022. >

Legendary Arsenal and England former striker, Ian Wright, has told the NFF to pay the Super Falcons. The NFF had stated that they would not pay the Falcons at this World Cup because FIFA began paying players directly at this World Cup. The NFF is notorious for owing the players. The Falcons had to protest on the streets of Abuja in 2016 because they had not been paid after winning the Nations Cup. They also staged a sit-in protest at their hotel after the 2019 World Cup.

The development comes two weeks after some airfield lighting cables were stolen at the runway of the MMIA’s international wing. Daily Trust reports that the airport has in recent times recorded security breaches with unauthorised persons accessing the airport through the perimeter fence areas, prompting a series of security measures by the authorities.

The United States (US) Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have revealed when they will release Nigeria’s President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s criminal and immigration records to the public. In a court document sighted by journalists, the FBI and US State Department cited ‘unusual circumstances’ for the inability to release the records to the public yet. While reacting to a freedom of information request, the U.S. authorities said that even if they were to release the demanded records of the Nigerian president, it would be at least until January 2026 before they could do so. ESN_republic learnt that the demand was made following Tinubu’s claims in court that he did not commit any crimes during his stay in the United States. President Tinubu is also said to have asserted ownership of his identity, despite strong indications he might have changed names and education records in the past. Recall that there have been a series of controversies over President Tinubu’s real ident...

  Bayern Munich have made a frankly ridiculous start to pre-season after walloping 27 goals past German ninth tier side Rottach-Egern. They were 18-0 up at half-time in a contest that resembled more of a slasher film than a football match, with Bayern's barely-tested superstars controlling over 85% of possession. Despite the gulf in class, Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel fielded a strong side, with the likes of Sadio Mane, Jamal Musiala, Serge Gnabry, Alphonso Davies, Marcel Sabitzer, Kingsley Coman, Leroy Sane and Dayot Upamecano all featuring. Sabitzer, Musiala and 18-year-old French forward Mathys Tel netted five goals each, and were among a whopping 13 goalscorers on the day. The floodgates opened in the fourth minute and the Bundesliga giants went on to score a goal, on average, once every three-and-half minutes after that. Fans watching the game could barely believe their eyes, with hundreds of them flooding to social media to come to grips with what was going on. "This is mos...

  The Peoples Democratic Party has accused lawyers holding briefs for President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress at the Presidential Election Petition Court of engaging in acts aimed at intimidating the judiciary. This is just as the main opposition party claimed that the alleged threats are contained in the lawyers’ written addresses before the election petition tribunal. In a press release issued on Monday by Debo Ologunagba, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, the party stressed that “The statement by the lawyers in the said written address threatening crisis and anarchy in the country in the event of the court ruling that their clients did not meet the constitutionally required 25 per cent votes in the Federal Capital Territory is subversive, an affront to democratic order and assault on the corporate existence of the nation.” The statement said it is  “Alarming and disturbing that the APC externalised to the public, their final written address in which t...

  Recall that in May a day after President Tinubu was sworn into Power the Nation’s Apex Petrol station increased the fuel price from N195 per litre to 537 per litre.

On Tuesday morning in response to the new price, NNPC filling stations in Abuja witnessed brief queues, particularly the one located along Murtala Mohammed Express road, Kado remained shut for some few hours as the Petrol attendants has to adjust their fuel pumps to reflect the new price of 617 naira.

Nigeria has spent N13.7 trillion on fuel subsidy in the last 13 years, according to Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative source;

Sporting Lagos FC have won the 2023 Naija Super 8 championship. The Paul Offor-led boys defeated Remo Stars 4-2 on penalties to win the tournament at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena on Sunday. The two teams had previously met in the early stages of the competition with Sporting winning the encounter 2-1. However, the final match bore scant resemblance to the previous meeting as a packed stadium cheering on. Advertisement In the early stage, the match was cagey with both teams struggling to establish a foothold. Isaac James came closest to scoring in the first half but his header clattered off the woodwork, denying Remo Stars an early lead. The match, however, opened up in the second half as Sporting Lagos struck the first blow. Jonathan Alukwu rose highest to meet a free kick delivery and his header ricocheted into the path of Aliu Salawudeen who stabbed the ball into the net. Remo Stars equalised deep into stoppage time as Adam Olamilekan reacted quickest and turned in a sho...
