Stanley Nwabali Mourns Father’s Death After AFCON Match
Stanley Nwabali, the talented goalkeeper for the Super Eagles of Nigeria, has suffered a tragic loss with the passing of his father.
He shared the heartbreaking news on his Instagram story early Friday morning.
In his post, Nwabali expressed his grief with a tearful emoji and a short but emotional message that read, “Rest in peace, dad.”

The tragic news comes shortly after Nwabali’s impressive performance in Nigeria’s 1-1 draw against Benin Republic during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
The match, which took place on Thursday night in Abidjan, saw Nwabali showcasing his skills as he led his team with determination.
However, this personal tragedy might affect his participation in Nigeria’s next AFCON qualifier against Rwanda, scheduled to hold in Uyo.
The Super Eagles’ technical crew is yet to announce any decision regarding Nwabali’s availability for the upcoming match.
However, it is likely he will take time off to mourn and be with his family during this difficult period.
The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) is also expected to release a statement expressing their support for him.
Former footballer Paul Scholes condemns Martin Odegaard and speaks on his performance in the Arsenal team.
The football legend shared how it is the captain that is bringing the team down, as he is not playing his position properly “That game on Saturday [Arsenal vs Newcastle], I didn’t see all of it, I probably saw the first half an hour, but I think Odegaard is a big problem for them.”
“I love Odegaard, I think he’s brilliant. Technically, he’s great, but he doesn’t play his position properly. Half the time I saw him in the first 20 minutes, he was almost the deepest man.”
Nigerian politician Peter Obi reacts to the viral incident that occurred in Delta State.
It can be noted that Obi is reacting to the clip of a police officer shooting and killing an already restrained suspect.
Obi stated that it was a serious violation and abuse of power “The extrajudicial killing of a young Nigerian in Effurun, Delta State, by a police officer, Mr. Mene Ogidi, is not only barbaric but also a grave violation of the rule of law.
“Over time, human society has moved away from an era when lives could be taken without consequence. Through the evolution of civilisation, a fundamental principle has emerged: no one should be punished or deprived of life without due process and a fair determination of guilt.”
It has been reported that a four-year ban has been placed on Chelsea’s player, Mykhailo Mudryk, for anti-doping violations.
The player appealed in court on February 25 but has now been handed his punishment, which is a four-year ban from football.
It can be recalled that his last appearance on the field was on November 28, 2024.
