In a significant move towards national reconciliation, Burkina Faso's transitional government has pardoned 21 soldiers involved in the unsuccessful coup attempt of 2015. This decision reflects a broader effort to promote peace and stability in a country that has faced a tumultuous political landscape in recent years. The coup attempt in September 2015 was orchestrated by members of the military, aimed at overthrowing the interim government that had taken power following the ousting of longtime president Blaise Compaoré the previous year. The coup was foiled, leading to the arrest and subsequent trial of many involved, creating a lasting rift within the military and political communities. The pardons come amidst a backdrop of increased security challenges in Burkina Faso, characterized by rising violence from extremist groups and constant threats to national stability. By granting amnesty to these soldiers, the transitional government, which took power follow...

Nigeria’s hopes of playing at the 2026 FIFA World Cup might have just gotten an unexpected boost following controversy around South Africa midfielder, Teboho Mokoena. Mokoena should have been suspended for Bafana Bafana’s Matchday 5 clash against Lesotho due to accumulated yellow cards. He was booked in their Matchday 1 fixture against Benin Republic and picked up another on Matchday 4 against Zimbabwe. The two bookings rendered Mokoena ineligible to feature in the subsequent fixture against Lesotho. These revelations have sparked speculation that South Africa could face a points deduction if confirmed by the relevant authorities. The 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers rulebook subsection 9 states that a player who receives two yellow cards in separate matches must serve a one-match suspension. Mokoena playing for 81 minutes against Lesotho is therefore a potential breach of FIFA regulations. If the standard six-game suspension rule applies to the 10-game qualification format, South Africa...

The feud between Pastor Femi Lazarus and Timi Dakolo has gained traction, and Nigerian comedian Ali Baba has joined the fray.  Pastor Lazarus, leader of Light Nation Church, recently kicked off the debate by condemning gospel singers who demand payment for church performances.  In a widely circulated video, he recounted an instance where a singer requested N5 million. He argued that genuine ministers should rely on divine provision rather turning worship into a business. However, Timi Dakolo, a celebrated Nigerian artist, didn’t hold back in his response.

He noted that studio sessions, production costs, and promotion aren’t cheap.  Dakolo stressed that these artists have responsibilities like feeding their families and urged pastors to stop guilt-tripping them and either pay for their services or stick to church choirs.  Joining the conversation, Ali Baba ...
