Turkish Mosque Named After Osimhen Causes Anger Among Worshippers

Just days after returning to Turkey, Victor Osimhen has been caught up in an unexpected controversy. The Bulut Mosque in Konya was briefly shown on Google Maps as “Victor Osimhen Mosque,” a change that angered many worshippers.
One local, Zeki Yaylacı, called it disrespectful, saying it was wrong to name a mosque after a non-Muslim and that it insulted both the Muslim community and their places of worship. There is no indication that Osimhen had any involvement in the incident, which appears to have been caused by inaccurate user edits on Google Maps.

Peter Obi Condemns Stripping of Ibom Airline Passenger, Cites Double Standards

Nigerian politician and former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has reacted to the viral video of the passenger incident on Ibom Airline.
While apologizing to the airline staff who were assaulted by the passenger, Miss Comfort Emmanson, he criticized the manner in which she was treated.
It can be noted that after Miss Emmanson assaulted the staff and another passenger, she was dragged and stripped in public before being taken to court.
Peter Obi stated that the way she was handled was wrong, linking it to double standards in the justice system. He expressed that the country needs fairness and recalled the airline situation involving KWAM 1, noting that nothing happened to him in comparison to Miss Emmanson, who was stripped and taken to court.
“We must build a country where justice is fair, equal, and not selective, especially against women who are seen to be weaker.”
