Manchester City Considering Ola Aina as Long-Term Replacement for Kyle Walker
Manchester City have reportedly set their sights on Nigerian defender Ola Aina as a potential long-term replacement for Kyle Walker.
With Walker, now 34, entering the latter stages of his career, the Premier League champions are exploring options to secure their defensive future.
Aina, who has been a key figure for Nottingham Forest this season, has impressed with his versatility and consistency.
Capable of playing as both a right-back and a left-back, the 27-year-old has featured in 19 Premier League matches for Forest, scoring twice and earning praise for his solid performances.
Aina’s journey began at Chelsea, where he came through the academy system before moving on to Torino in Serie A.
After a stint in Italy, he returned to England to join Nottingham Forest, where he has become an integral part of the squad.
With just six months left on his current contract, Aina’s availability could make him an appealing target for City.
TV anchor Rufai Oseni makes headlines as he speaks on fuel subsidy in Nigeria. He shared that Nigeria can have fuel subsidy without the long queues at filling stations.
“When we were still paying subsidies, there were no long queues. We were subsidising. So you can still have a subsidy regime going on, and there will be no long queues because production was close by. Dangote had it. That’s just it. That argument also falls flat.
“The biggest beneficiaries of subsidy are not Nigerians. They are crony capitalists that have big infrastructure, and they do contracts. They have been the biggest beneficiaries of the subsidy,” he said.
Lagos State Governor, Sanwo-Olu, speaks to those in the electricity sector about the usual blackouts in the state.
He speaks on ways things can change in the state and how electricity can be provided.
“We need to drop corporate egos, abandon long-standing excuses, and confront the harsh realities obstructing progress in the power sector.”
“We, state governments, used to give excuses that everything is centralised, so the Federal Government has unbundled it now. What have we done in a year and a half?” Sanwo-Olu asked.
“We take two steps forward, we go five steps backward,” he said.
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has declared Thursday, August 20, a work-free day for public servants in the state to mark the Isese Festival.
Speaking on the celebration, he said “Ìṣẹ̀ṣe is not a relic. It is a living expression of our traditions and a celebration of Yoruba spirituality as an important part of Nigeria’s cultural and religious landscape,” he said.
He added “When the drums sound in Lagos on Thursday, they answer drums in Havana, in Salvador, in Port of Spain. Fifty-five million people and counting. Lagos is not observing a local holiday. Lagos is standing at the centre of a global heritage,” Aregbe said.
