BREAKING: Adesanya knocks Out Pereira in Second Round It took Israel Adesanya just two rounds to end Alex Pereira’s dominance and reclaim the middleweight title he lost last November. Bookmakers had favoured Adesanya to win, but you many not be too far from the truth if you say even he didn’t see his victory coming that quick. Adesanya has been in the shadows of the Brazilian since 2017 when they first met in kick-boxing. But one fierce punch from Izzy’s right hand put out Pereira’s lights and handed the belt back to the Nigerian. Just before the decisive punch, it was looking like it was going to be a repeat of November when Pereira had Adesanya boxed into a corner, sending head kicks and body shots. Adesanya’s response came out of the blues and caught Pereira unaware, putting him to sleep just like it was for Adesanya during their meeting in kickboxing.

EASTER MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT-ELECT I send my best wishes to Christians in Nigeria and all over the world who are celebrating Easter this Sunday. As we all enjoy the well-deserved break, I urge every Nigerian to reflect on the priceless sacrifice and limitless love of God for mankind.  As we celebrate, let us also remember our obligation, as God’s children, to love our neighbour, regardless of tongue, faith and tribe.  For Christians everywhere, this celebration is in commemoration of Jesus Christ's life of service and his supreme sacrifice for the salvation of mankind.  And as we observe Easter this year, let us all imbibe the essential message of Christ’s ministry and truly begin to love our fellow Nigerians as we love ourselves. We will make faster progress towards the achievement of the peaceful, united, strong, progressive and prosperous country we all desire if we eschew divisive, parochial, ethnic and religious sentiments and rivalries, and begin to liv...

Gambian Pastor Absconds With Worshippers' Phones After Crusade In Ibadan A Gambian Pastor, Owen Abraham, has allegedly absconded with 52 phones, money, and valuables of residents of Aponrin in Agbowo, Ibadan who came for a crusade organised by him.

Abraham on the last day of the three days crusade claimed that the Holy Spirit directed him to tell people to submit their phones and valuables, but later absconded with it.
