Manchester City Eyes Ola Aina as Kyle Walker’s Successor
Manchester City has reportedly identified Nottingham Forest’s Ola Aina as a potential replacement for veteran defender Kyle Walker, according to The Sun.
Aina, 27, has been a standout performer for Forest in the Premier League this season, showcasing his versatility as both a right-back and left-back. He has contributed two goals in 19 league appearances, cementing his reputation as a reliable and adaptable defender.
Walker, now 34, is approaching the latter stages of his career, prompting City to begin their search for a long-term successor. Aina, a product of Chelsea’s football academy, could fit the bill for Pep Guardiola’s side.
The Nigerian international’s contract with Nottingham Forest expires in six months, making him a prime target for City, who might look to secure his services at a reduced fee in the upcoming transfer window.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
