Paralympian Alessandro Ossola Proposes to Fiancée After Missing Out on Final in Paris
Italian Paralympic sprinter Alessandro Ossola proposed to his partner, Arianna, after missing out on the men’s T63 100m final at the Paris Paralympic Games.
Despite his disappointment, Ossola turned the moment into one of joy, popping the question in the stands.
The 36-year-old’s journey into Para-athletics began after a tragic 2015 motorcycle accident, which claimed his first wife’s life and led to the amputation of his left leg.
He credits sport, and Arianna’s unwavering support, for helping him through his darkest times. “She believed in me more than I believed in myself,” Ossola said, calling her his “partner for life.”
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.
