WBC title holder and 2022 Commonwealth medallist Elizabeth Oshoba talks about winning a world title, beating the odds to win a medal in Birmingham, her boxing journey and more in this interview with PETER AKINBO

How did you start boxing?

It was actually my brother who introduced me to it; he came to me when I was 12 and said he wanted me to start boxing, he said, ‘I saw one video of a girl boxing and she is just like you, you guys look alike so I would like you to try boxing too’ but I told him I don’t want to box. So, actually, I do sports, I like sports, then I played football, I played table tennis then too, all these street sports, but I said I couldn’t do boxing, I didn’t want them to spoil my fine face, I can’t do it. My parents like sports as well, so they encouraged me, and one particular day, my Dad lied to me that we should go out to get fuel and he drove me to coach Smart of Smart Boxing, and when we got there was when I realised it was a boxing gym. The coach was now encouraging me too, and I saw a lot of ladies like me boxing so I now decided I could do this if these ones were doing it because I had the mind that if they saw me outside, they could just beat me and go, and I can’t let that happen and that is when I started.

When you first started boxing, did guys in the neighbourhood try to fight you?

Actually, when I started boxing, I was going to a public school so some of my schoolmates stayed in the area of the boxing gym, and when they saw me there, the next day they came to school and told everyone I was fighting boxing, and the guys then in the school did not want to accept that a lady could be doing this so they started bullying me, and it got to the point that I had to fight back, although it is not professional and we shouldn’t fight back, I had to just fight back but then I fought with a guy in my class and he started bleeding and that was when they all knew that I was a good boxer and they started leaving me alone.

“As I am talking to you now, we have counted 19 dead bodies,” Fagge stated somberly, adding that several others sustained various degrees of injuries.

According to eyewitnesses, the accident site quickly turned chaotic as emergency responders and locals rushed to rescue the survivors and retrieve the bodies of the deceased.

Ado Salisu, a former Vice President of the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN), said that some of the victims were still being taken to the Kura General Hospital for treatment and further identification.

Lecturer at Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) has gone viral for adopting a creative “photo attendance” system to tackle chronic absenteeism and signature forgery among students.

In a video shared by the lecturer, Dr. Taiwo Oluwaseyi, identified as @taiwo_2222 on TikTok, he explained that students are now required to appear in a group photo taken at the end of each lecture, effectively serving as proof of attendance.

The video showcased a dramatic view of the class, with students lining up after the lecture to be captured in the attendance photo. According to the lecturer, the new system has significantly improved student turnout, as many are now making more effort to attend classes regularly.

“No more signature attendance. Signature forging is real. It’s either you show in the class picture or not,” the lecturer declared in his caption.

He further emphasised that under his new system, any student not visible in the group photo would be marked absent, regardless of whether their name appeared in any signed .

“If you’re not in the photo, you weren’t in class. That’s the rule,” he wrote.

Man has vowed to file lawsuit against his wife after DNA test revealed he is not the father of her 11-year-old child, citing reasons for the child’s paternity

The man identifed as Isaiah Chuko on  X (formerly Twitter), claimed that the DNA test stemmed from his wife’s wayward lifestyle and manipulative behavior.

According to Isaiah Chuko, his wife slapped him for proceeding with a DNA test without her knowledge, and his family intervened on behalf of the child.

However, he succumbed to the plea and reconsidered out of love for the child, listing specific requirements his wife must meet before continuing his responsibility towards the child.

According to him, after his wife failed to meet the requirements and left the child with his sister, he took the child back to her family.

However, things took a shocking turn when his wife manipulated him and conspired with his sister to have him arrested.

Recounting the ordeal, Isaiah Chuko claimed he was accused of despicable acts, mistreated by security operatives who attempted to coerce his statement, and wasn’t released, until his lawyer intervened.

Additionally, he announced that he’s suing his wife for fraud and expressed the emotional difficulty of parting with the daughter he had loved and tattooed on his arm.

Located along the ever-busy Lagos-Badagry Expressway, Isasi cemetery is a place where the dead find little peace. Overcrowded and neglected, this burial ground tells a haunting tale, as bodies are laid to rest in shallow, one-foot-deep graves, many without markers or dignity, their brittle bones protruding from the earth.

CHIJIOKE IREMEKA exposes the grim realities of this final resting place, raising alarming questions about public health and respect for the departed

Hammed Adeyemo stood quietly at the edge of the waterlogged grave, her eyes brimming with tears as she watched the body of her aunt, Mutiat, being lowered into a muddy trench barely a foot deep at the Iyana-Isasi Cemetery in Lagos.

At the cemetery located off the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, near the Iyana-Isasi bus stop, the 31-year-old fashion designer grieved not just the loss of her beloved aunt, but also the indignity of her burial.

The grave was so shallow it barely held Mutiat’s body, and the sorrow that gripped Adeyemo deepened with every ing moment.

Her heartbreak only worsened when she discovered that the cemetery forbade gravestones or markers to identify burial spots.

It meant she might never find the exact resting place of the woman who had been like a second mother to her.

“It felt like the cemetery was trying to erase the good memories I shared with my aunt, who slipped and died in the bathroom,” she said, her eyes swollen from excessive crying.

In a trembling voice, Adeyemo shared with Sunday PUNCH the painful story of how her aunt, who left behind three children, died unexpectedly.

A tragic morning

Mutiat, a quiet and well-loved woman in her late 50s, had gone to bathe that Saturday morning, unaware it would be her last.

According to Adeyemo, while in the bathroom, she slipped and fell. For several long minutes, no one realised she was lying helpless on the wet, cold floor.

Her 11-year-old son, who had been playing outside their home at 55 Baruwa Street, Old Ojo Road, in the Amuwo Odofin Local Government Area, eventually came inside to drink water. Not seeing his mother, he began calling out.

“Her son called out for his mum several times but got no response. Hearing the sound of running water, he moved towards the bathroom, calling her name. Then he found her, lying unconscious on the floor,” Adeyemo recounted.

In panic, the boy dashed out to raise the alarm. Neighbours rushed in and quickly carried Mutiat to a health centre on the street.

As a nurse struggled to revive her, a call came in from Mutiat’s only surviving sister, who had travelled abroad to visit her children.

Upon learning what had happened, she immediately instructed that Mutiat be transferred to a better-equipped hospital, hoping that faster care might change the outcome.

But the worst had already happened.

At the hospital, doctors pronounced her dead and wrote in the report that she was “brought in dead.”

Unsettling burial

“As Muslims, we knew her body had to be buried as soon as possible,” Adeyemo said. “Without a husband or father to decide, we ed her sister in the United States, who gave the go-ahead for the burial.”

An ambulance was arranged to take the body to Iyana-Isasi Cemetery. But what they encountered there was shocking.

“The gravediggers dug a shallow grave, barely a foot deep,” she recalled, still evidently shocked. “That was where she was buried.”

Family and friends stood stunned as Mutiat’s body was lowered into the shallow grave.

The indignity didn’t end there. One of the gravediggers had to use his shovel to press her arm into the earth because part of it still stuck out.

“It was traumatic,” Adeyemo said. “Even in death, she wasn’t given the dignity she deserved.”

Fears of animals desecrating body

Adeyemo feared that animals, such as dogs or pigs, might dig up the shallow grave and feast on her aunt’s remains, which had been wrapped in a simple white cloth typically used for Muslim burials.

“I have heard stories about people being buried like this, but I didn’t believe until I saw it with my own eyes,” Adeyemo said, her voice quivering. “It felt like my aunt was discarded, not buried. That grave wasn’t fit for a human being.”

The burial, she recounted, was hastily done. Within minutes, the workers had covered the body with sand, patting it down with their shovels.

No prayers were at the site, no comforting words, no tribute. Just the sound of earth and shovels.

More painful was the refusal by cemetery staff to allow a gravestone or marker.

She said, “I begged them to let us place a headstone, just something small to mark her resting place, but they refused. I looked around and saw no names, no stones, nothing; just bare, unmarked earth stretching in rows of invisible graves.

“I feel like in a few weeks, no one will know where she lies. She raised me. She deserved better,” she said, choking on tears. “I understand that land is scarce, but the dead should not be treated this way. It looks more like a mass burial ground than a proper cemetery. That makes it even worse.

“I keep wondering how I’ll visit her. I can’t lay flowers. I can’t find her grave. It’s like she disappeared. And with such a shallow grave, I can’t even say for sure what happened to her body after we left. No one should be forgotten this easily.”

Trauma of burial

A few days after Adeyemo’s heartbreak, the family of Raji Mohammed was made to walk the same agonising path as they laid their son, Rafiu, who died in a road crash, to rest.

Their grief was deepened by the nature of his burial, which they described as disrespectful and careless.

Their first choice had been Iyana-Era Cemetery. But with the facility locked by the government under unclear circumstances, they had no option but to bring Rafiu’s body to Iyana-Isasi Cemetery.

“We paid the gravediggers N10,000,” Rafiu’s elder brother, Ismaila, told Sunday PUNCH. “But when we arrived, what we saw was a shallow grave, not suitable for burying a human being. It was wrong. It felt like desecration.”

The burial, she recounted, was hastily done. Within minutes, the workers had covered the body with sand, patting it down with their shovels.

No prayers were at the site, no comforting words, no tribute. Just the sound of earth and shovels.

More painful was the refusal by cemetery staff to allow a gravestone or marker.

She said, “I begged them to let us place a headstone, just something small to mark her resting place, but they refused. I looked around and saw no names, no stones, nothing; just bare, unmarked earth stretching in rows of invisible graves.

Pope Francis has finally been laid to rest inside Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica in Rome on Saturday, following a funeral mass at St Peter’s Square, the Vatican confirmed.

The late pontiff, who ed away on Monday at the age of 88, was buried during a 30-minute ceremony that began at 1:00 pm (1100 GMT).

Footage shared by the Holy See captured the moment cardinals sealed his wooden and zinc coffin with red wax, while Cardinal Kevin Farrell, the camerlengo overseeing the Vatican’s daily affairs, sprinkled holy water on it before it was lowered into the tomb.

True to his humble spirit, Francis had requested a simple and unadorned burial site.

His tombstone, bearing only the Latin inscription “Franciscus,” is made from marble sourced from Liguria, the region tied to his Italian ancestry.

Francis, born Jorge Bergoglio, had chosen the exact spot for his burial back in 2023, a side nave of the beloved fifth-century basilica where he often prayed before and after his international trips.

Devoted to the Virgin Mary, Francis’ connection to Santa Maria Maggiore was deeply personal.

The basilica, one of Rome’s four major papal churches, had not received a papal burial since Pope Clement IX in 1669.

It already houses the tombs of seven other popes and other notable figures like Gian Lorenzo Bernini, the artist behind St Peter’s Square’s iconic design.

Hundreds of thousands of mourners gathered earlier in St Peter’s Square to bid farewell to the pope, ed as a leader who ruled “with an open heart.”

Santa Maria Maggiore, built around 432 AD under Pope Sixtus III, also holds treasured relics, including an ancient icon of the Virgin Mary and baby Jesus, believed to have been painted by Saint Luke.

The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria has said that petrol is going to sell at N935 per litre beginning from Monday (today) based on the latest arrangement with the Dangote Petroleum Refinery.

IPMAN’s National President, Maigandi Garima, said the reduction in Dangote refinery’s ex-depot price for petrol and the uniform arrangement being put in place, would enable marketers to sell at N935 in their outlets nationwide, incurring a cost of N36 on logistics.

“Dangote refinery has brought another new arrangement of loading and pricing by which marketers would pay a fixed ex-depot price of N899.50k.

“The refinery is running a programme whereby it wants the fuel consumption across the country to be at the same rate. We are expecting the new arrangement to kick-start on Monday. Previously, the loading price was N970 per litre, but from Monday, petrol prices will drop to N935,” Garima stated.

The association also stated that over 30,000 of its are set to commence petrol loading from the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and the Port Harcourt Refining Company following the reduction of the ex-depot price of the product to N899 per litre.

This came as it was observed that the pump price of petrol dropped on Sunday to between N950 and N980 per litre in a few filling stations in Lagos including MRS, BOVAS and NNPC. However, the cost was above N1,000 per litre in many other outlets in the state.

But IPMAN promised on Sunday that the price would drop further, as it said the cost of petrol would reduce to N935 per litre in more filling stations by Monday (today) in view of Dangote refinery’s new arrangement.

Similarly, retail outlet owners under the auspices of the Petroleum Products Retail Outlet Owners Association of Nigeria have begun registration with MRS filling station to lift Dangote petrol at N935 per litre.

The IPMAN National Publicity officer, Chinedu Ukadike, and the PETROAN President, Billy Gillis-Harry, disclosed these during separate exclusive interviews with The PUNCH on Sunday.

The development came after intense pricing competition in the nation’s downstream sector, which triggered a price war between NNPCL and Dangote due to a reduction in the ex-depot price to N899 per litre.

On Saturday, the NNPCL, in a surprising development, slashed petrol prices by 12 per cent, to the delight of Nigerians and marketers.

This decision, coming days after the Dangote Refinery reduced its price to N899, was confirmed by the Petroleum Products Retail Outlet Owners Association of Nigeria in a statement on Saturday.

Before now, petrol prices had consistently increased, causing customers to worry that the price hike might be sustained during the festive season.

As Nigerians endure the effects of the recent fuel price hike by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited, new developments bring some relief. Gistreel reports on the latest trends in petrol scarcity, price reductions, and reactions from the government and citizens.

The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has revealed that the deregulation of Nigeria’s downstream oil sector is driving a gradual drop in petrol prices.

Gistreel understands that increased competition among oil marketers, spurred by deregulation, has started to lower pump prices.

This development coincides with the importation of over 2 billion litres of Motor Spirit (PMS) by the NNPC Limited and other operators within just 42 days. IPMAN’s National Publicity Secretary, Chinedu Ukadike, also credited the recent partnership between IPMAN and Dangote Petroleum Refinery as a significant factor in reducing petrol costs.

The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has reached an agreement with IPMAN to supply 60 million litres of petrol weekly, equivalent to 240 million litres monthly. The refinery’s capacity to meet this target depends on IPMAN’s demand and patronage.

The $20 billion Lekki-based refinery is also raising funds to enhance crude oil imports and expand production capacity. According to oil marketers, deregulation has intensified competition, contributing to the recent decline in petrol prices.

Following the verdict delivered by the Confederation of African Football in response to the complaint lodged by the Nigeria Football Federation over the recent inhumane treatment meted out to the Super Eagles in Libya, of the Nigerian community have reported mass arrests and fines in the country.

The Nigerian football team was held at the Al-Abraq Airport in eastern Libya for over 20 hours upon arrival for the second leg of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier between the Super Eagles and Libya’s national team.

The contingent was scheduled to land at the Benghazi Airport and travel for nearly four hours by road to Benina, where the match was to be played.

However, less than an hour before landing, the Tunisian pilot reportedly received a directive from Libyan authorities to divert the flight to the Al-Abraq Airport, located 150 miles away from the destination.

The development sparked widespread outrage, forcing the NFF to withdraw the Super Eagles from the qualifying match and file an official complaint to CAF.

In its ruling on Saturday, October 26, signed by its Chairman, Ousmane Kane, the disciplinary committee of the African football body awarded the Super Eagles of Nigeria three points and three goals for the abandoned match.

The disciplinary board ruled that the Libyan Football Federation breached Article 31 of the Africa Cup of Nations Regulations and Articles 82 and 151 of the CAF Disciplinary Code.

The also ordered the LFF to pay a fine of $50,000 within 60 days of the notification of the decision.

Displeased with the verdict, the LFF President Nasser Al-Suwai’I described it as “unjust and malicious,” alleging that the NFF’s influence within CAF played a major role in the outcome.

A report on Monday by a Libyan outlet, Libyan Observer, quoted Al-Suwai’I saying the LFF would file an official appeal within hours and that if the appeal was denied, the body would resort to the Court of Arbitration for Sport to ensure “their legitimate rights are secured.”

Campaign against Nigerians

Following the CAF ruling, a popular Libyan news blog, Libya News Today 1, posted on Sunday, stating, “All Libyan TV channels are urging the government to arrest the Nigerian workers who are working here in Libya without legal papers. They have to pay $500 plus taxes.

“The fine that Libya is accused of will be paid by Nigerian citizens who live in Libya. We have been subjected to injustice. We have no borders with Nigeria. What benefit are they to us? They’re a burden on the Libyan people. They have to go back home.”

The blog has more than 188,000 followers on Facebook and 57,000 likes.

The post was accompanied by a video of a Libyan TV presenter, who said, “Anyone who is living in Libya and working without paying tax is eating haram, which means sinful money. The government should make every effort to arrest all Nigerians who are working in Libya so that they can pay a tax of $500 and regulate their stay in the country by obtaining residence permits.”

Another Libyan site, Libya INF.TV, reported that Libyan stations wanted the government to start arresting Nigerian workers.

“Those who don’t have Libyan papers will have to pay a fine of $500 for taxes. If you refuse deportation, no mercy. The Libyan government will pay the Nigerian government from their citizens’ money,” the post said.

Mass arrests

Speaking with Sunday PUNCH, a Nigerian living in Tripoli, the Libyan capital, Adenaike Emmanuel, said the arrests began on Sunday after the CAF statement was released in the country.

“They have already started. The news came out on Saturday, and they were saying they can’t accept it and that they are not the ones who will pay the money. They have started proving this.

“Someone called me and said they had already begun arresting people in his area. The same thing is happening here in Tripoli. In some places, people were arrested on Sunday morning and afternoon. As I mentioned before, Libyans don’t hide their feelings. They believe that by doing this, they are getting their revenge,” Adenaike stated.

The President of the Nigerian community in Libya, Peter Omoregbie, also confirmed the arrests in a video shared by multiple Libya-based Nigerian blogs during the week.

Omoregbie, who confirmed this while making an official report at the Libyan immigration office on Monday, said, “The arrests started on Sunday night in some areas in Tedora. They are arresting innocent people. They don’t even care whether you have ports or residence permits. They just don’t care, which doesn’t happen in other countries.”

When asked to provide background to the incident, he said, “The football body is an association on its own, which the government isn’t supposed to interfere with according to CAF laws. There was a football match scheduled between Nigeria and Libya on October 15. Nigeria was supposed to arrive in Benghazi, but they were diverted to another state, so the match could not take place. The Nigerian football team then returned home. Since then, CAF has investigated the issue and set up a committee to find out what really happened.

“Yesterday, the verdict was issued that Libya has to pay a fine of $50,000 to CAF due to the way they treated the Nigerian football team. Now, on social media, Libyan journalists and numerous bloggers are saying that Nigeria will be made to pay the $50,000 fine by arresting all Nigerians in Libya. But in other countries, nothing like that happens.

Nigerian woman has claimed that girls aged 19 to 24 have little to offer in a relationship beyond their physical appearance.

This assertion was made during an exclusive interview with an influencer.

Woman claims girls aged 19-24 have nothing to offer in relationships.

When asked what type of girls men should avoid in their pursuit of a relationship, she stated that those in the 19 to 24 age bracket primarily offer their bodies.

She argued that these young women tend to prioritize their looks and beauty, which she believes is insufficient for a successful relationship.

In her own words, she explained, “These girls in this age bracket don’t really have much to offer in a relationship. It’s unfair when a girl claims, ‘I am beautiful; I have curves.’ It’s not enough to sustain a relationship. For a relationship to thrive, it should be 50/50. You bring something, and I bring something—that’s how it should work.”

The interviewer sought clarification, asking, “So you mean girls from 18 to 23 are just for pleasure?” In response, she reiterated her stance, suggesting that these young women are unlikely to remain committed. “They won’t stay for you; they won’t,” she asserted.

She also reflected on her own experiences growing up, discussing the dynamics she observed between young women and men.

Additionally, she made pointed remarks about the transactional nature of relationships that often exist between women of this age and their male partners.
