As the Nigeria Premier Football League board battles another case of violence among clubs in the Nigerian topflight, ABIODUN ADEWALE writes on the need to avoid foot-dragging while dealing with issues that should have no place in Nigerian football Another season and yet again, another case of violence in the Nigeria Premier Football League. It’s been over a week since a video showed Rivers United officials being assaulted during their visit to Nasarawa United for an NPFL match-day 18 game on Sunday, December 22, and it just begins to seem like something really happened at the Lafia City Stadium. The NPFL board called for an inquest into the matter on Saturday, December 28 – six days after the incident – and that further provoked the thought of enabling the barbarism on display in the said video, more than it suggested that the league body needed time to investigate or listen to both parties. In the video that was circulated by the former media officer of Rivers United and now Special Assistant to the Rivers State Commissioner for Sports, Sammy Wejinya – who was the victim – he was rounded by several persons within the VIP stand of the stadium and visibly keeping his calm even while looking irritated until he was wrestled to the ground in the chaotic atmosphere. As kicks and blows flew at the stand, chairs were also pelted at the spot where Wejinya was standing and it appeared another person was getting hits from some irate fans in front of him. In between the two spots was the Rivers State Commissioner for Sports, Chris Green, who was also confused as he turned around, not knowing whom to pacify or save before eventually wriggling out of the chaotic scene. Amid the pandemonium, there were motionless individuals within the VIP stand while some made frantic efforts to restrain some of the irate fans. What followed was a chronicle of woes by Wejinya, which was swiftly countered by Nasarawa United. According to Wejinya, that chaos began when he reacted to a missed chance by their team, Rivers United in the closing stages of the game – a gesture which presumably didn’t go down well with the hosts with the score locked at 1-1. “As I screamed and put my hands on my head at that missed opportunity by Rivers United, several Nasarawa United fans who were beside and behind me at the VIP stand of the stadium immediately asked me to shut my mouth. I was taken aback and moments later, these irate fans descended on me and gave me the beating of my life,” Wejinya wrote. “At that moment, I thought about my wife and two young daughters. “My life flashed before my eyes and I wondered if coming to the stadium to watch a football club I love (Rivers United FC) was worth my life. It was a sorry and scary sight. I pleaded with the fans and begged for my life but they wouldn’t listen.” The hosts had a response for every line in Wejinya’s statement, describing the incident as a “minor altercation.” “Our fans had been exemplary in their behaviour throughout the game, cheering and applauding our team all along,” Nasarawa United said in a statement sent to The PUNCH by the club’s media officer, Eche Amos. “Unfortunately, a minor altercation occurred between Sammy Wejinya who was seated in the midst of the stronghold of the local fans, as he was heard loudly cheering his side. Upon noticing the situation, the Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development, Nasarawa State, and other key stakeholders, including the stadium security personnel, swiftly waded in to rescue the situation as normalcy eventually returned and Sammy Wejinya and the aforementioned members of Rivers State’s delegation were escorted out of the stadium,” the statement read in part. However, in a chat with The PUNCH, Rivers State Commissioner for Sports, Chris Green, noted that the presence of Nasarawa State officials could not stop the fans from descending on Wejinya, the Rivers United general manager Okey Kpalukwu and himself until their attached security aides came to their rescue. “Help did not come from anywhere. The only thing that gave us respite was our security men that we normally travelled with. They shot teargas and a few of them scampered, that was when we were able to carry Sammy out of the place. We didn’t eventually know when the match ended,” Green told The PUNCH. “For us, we were treated for minor injuries but Sammy was admitted to our medical facility and had to go for further tests for his eyes and others. My driver also left with swollen hands because he was trying to pick up Sammy’s phone when it fell.” Regardless of who tried to portray their stories in the proper light between both parties, the scene in that video was barbaric and should no longer have a place in popular stands, let alone a VIP stand. Particularly, it raises questions about security and access to certain areas within the stadium. “I’m still in pains,” Wejinya told The PUNCH. “I have pains in my ribs and I can’t stretch or turn properly. Over 20 persons pounced on me. This happened in broad daylight and they are saying this is a slight disturbance. I could have been killed.” Although Nasarawa United said they provided 70 security personnel including 30 police officers, the ones on the sidelines were rather looking helpless while havoc was being wreaked in the VIP stand and objects were thrown onto the pitch as well. Related News NPFL: In-form 3SC beat Rangers in Enugu 3SC stun Rangers in Enugu, as Remo Stars regain NPFL leadership NPFL: Musa fit for Tornadoes clash With the NPFL inquest set to be held on January 10 in Abuja, the league body has said it is in a bid to safeguard the integrity of the league. “The NPFL is opening an inquest to establish facts, identify causes and determine action to take on the matter,” the league body said in a statement on Saturday. “Both clubs are required to submit detailed reports of the incidents on the match-day to include actions taken by officials of the clubs, security arrangements as well as other relevant information not later than January 5, 2025. “Representatives of the clubs are also to appear in person at the inquest, including individuals from both clubs responsible for disparaging write-ups in the media to provide further clarification on their statements. Also, match officials, Musibaudeen Ibrahim (referee), Ikenna Okerulu (first assistant referee) and Godfrey Mamman (match commissioner) are to appear in person to give an account of the events of the match. The match officials are expected to provide further clarification on their reports, and actions taken during the match.” Chief Operating Officer of the NPFL, Davison Owumi, further told The PUNCH that the procedure was delayed by the incoherence of reports on the incident. “We don’t take our verdicts from social media. We take our verdicts from the match officials, including the referee and match commissioner. If need be, we will get more evidence from other sources until we get an assemblage of the full reports. Since we have conflicting reports, we need to have the inquest,” Owumi said. “Once there is a delay in getting the necessary reports, we can’t just go out for the sake of being timely.” Without playing down the need for fairness on the part of the league body, condemning the act that was displayed in the video would have done more good than the silence before the inquest. Thankfully, there was no casualty but everything in the video, even without showing the state of the victims, suggested it could have been worse. Nasarawa United aren’t strangers to breaches of NPFL rules with one of their players and media director getting the stick under the defunct League Management Company in 2019 over an attack on a referee. One of their forwards in 2019, Paul Komolafe, was handed a one-year ban for assaulting match officials during a top-flight game against Plateau United just the team’s equipment manager, Aliyu Mohammed Hamzat, was been banned for life from all NPFL match venues and activities for the same offence. The North Central club were also asked to play their games behind closed doors for an indefinite period and given 10 days to pay a fine of N4.2m for breaches of league rules. In the last couple of seasons, similar offences in the NPFL have cost teams fines and three points deduction and this might be the season Nasarawa United will take the hit. This season alone, Plateau United and Bendel Insurance have been docked three points over the club’s supporters’ attack on match officials. In 2023, Wikki Tourists and Bayelsa United also served the same punishment with the former eventually relegated to the second tier. But in cases like this and many others that have happened in the past, how much succour can a three-point deduction from the erring team or financial compensation to the victims provide, if a life was lost? That is even if the fines and compensations were dutifully enforced. For instance, in 2022, a journalist Tobi Adepoju was beaten in Ibadan after a southwest derby game between 3SC and Remo Stars and the media officer of 3SC, Tosin Omojola, said audaciously on live radio that there would have been no repercussions if Adepoju was killed in the incident. It’s almost certain that Nasarawa United would be punished, but it remains to be seen how grave it would be. There are feelers that Rivers United fans might be gunning for a revenge in the reverse fixture against the Lafia-based side but Green says the club will do whatever it takes to prevent their fans from joining issues with any opponents while they await the verdict of the league body. “We try not to allow these things to get here (Port Harcourt). Our supporters were there and they tried to come to our rescue. Now you can imagine the orientation they will have. Theirs will just be about retaliation and it will take a lot of efforts from us to reeducate them against that,” Green told The PUNCH. “We have installed cameras around the stands at our stadium and we won’t allow our fans to go the way of their people. We should not live like barbarians. It’s inhuman and condemnable. “The general manager has filed our report and we are waiting to hear from the league body,” he said..

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — The Cleveland Browns have again restructured quarterback Deshaun Watson’s massive contract to create salary-cap space and give them future flexibility, a person familiar with the move told The Associated Press on Friday. Watson has been limited to just 19 games in three seasons because of an NFL suspension and injuries with the Browns, who signed him to a five-year, $230 million fully guaranteed contract in 2022. The restructuring allows the team to spread out the salary-cap hit after the 2026 season, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the team does not disclose contract specifics. The 29-year-old Watson has two years remaining on his contract with an average of $46 million a year. The move to restructure his deal will not preclude the Browns from adding talent at the quarterback position in 2025, the person said. Watson played in only seven games this season before suffering a ruptured Achilles tendon. He’s 9-10 as a starter with Cleveland. The Browns (3-12) have been a major disappointment this season after making it to the playoffs a year ago behind Joe Flacco, who was signed as a free agent after Watson suffered a season-ending shoulder injury. Watson had surgery in October and is expected to make a full recovery. While the team hasn’t disclosed its plans at quarterback, it’s assumed Watson will be in the mix to be the starter next season. It’s also possible the Browns will draft a quarterback in the first round. The team hasn’t had a first-round pick the past three years after trading three to the Houston Texans to acquire Watson, who was once considered one of the league’s elite QBs. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFLRams OT Rob Havenstein slowed with shoulder injuryTEHRAN – The intelligence division of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) has arrested an individual in Ardabil province, accused of working with the intelligence agency of a “neighboring country.” The IRGC issued a statement on Thursday revealing that the arrest was the result of an extensive operation involving technical and surveillance tactics. The suspect, whose identity remains undisclosed, has been handed over to judicial authorities for further legal proceedings. This arrest underscores Iran's continuous campaign against foreign-backed threats. Earlier this month, the IRGC dismantled a Takfiri terrorist group in the western province of Kermanshah. In October, intelligence forces thwarted a plot by an Israeli-linked separatist group, which planned to infiltrate from Iraq's Kurdistan Region to incite unrest and carry out assassinations in Iran.
Article content One of the main hurdles for many customers considering an all-electric vehicle is the total driving range available – or lack thereof – on a fully charged battery. The distance of roughly 450 kilometres seems to be a pretty good baseline these days, at least without installing enormous batteries the size of Vancouver Island (ahem, Chevrolet Silverado EV, ahem). Numerous companies have been working on so-called solid-state batteries, units which do a much better job in the field of energy density than the technology currently available, such as liquid-state lithium-ion batteries. This week, researchers from Honda outlined their desires in this arena, hoping to use solid-state tech to double the range of the automaker’s EVs by the end of this decade. Keiji Otsu, president of Honda R&D, has been bullish on the prospect. “It’s a game-changer of the EV era,” he told Reuters reporters during a tour of the company’s solid-state battery pilot production line late November. The assembly in Tochigi, north of Tokyo, is pencilled to crank out all-solid-state batteries beginning January 2025, following an investment of 43 billion yen (CDN$388 million) , nearly half of which was furnished through subsidies from the Japanese government. Over the next five years, Honda hopes to cut battery sizes in half while chopping at least 25% of the cost from the things. Basic math tells us doubling the energy density of a battery and halving its size means a company could package a much smaller and lighter battery into an EV without sacrificing any range; or, as would likely be preferred in this market, retain the approximate size of today’s cells whilst cranking total driving range to 900 kilometres or more. This would handsomely address concerns about range anxiety, especially if cost and weight are kept under control. Toss in a charging capability that’s at least as good as what is on the market today, and it is likely electric vehicles would become more appealing to a wider variety of shoppers. Of course, EVs aren’t right for everyone, no matter the range or recharge stats — the quicker car companies and governments get that through their heads, the better off we’ll all be. Honda is open to sharing the tech for a price, saying it has “no reason to refuse” the external sale of its solid-state batteries if such a path is mutually beneficial to it and its partners.

Centre To Build Manmohan Singh's Memorial In Delhi, Last Rites To Be Held At Nigambodh Ghat TodayThe Israeli Justice Ministry made the announcement in a message late on Thursday, saying the investigation would focus on the findings of a recent report by the Uvda investigative programme into Sara Netanyahu. The programme uncovered a trove of WhatsApp messages in which Mrs Netanyahu appears to instruct a former aide to organise protests against political opponents and to intimidate Hadas Klein, a key witness in the trial. The announcement did not mention Mrs Netanyahu by name and the Justice Ministry declined further comment. Earlier on Thursday, Mr Netanyahu blasted the Uvda report as “lies”. It is the latest in a long line of legal troubles for the Netanyahus, highlighted by the PM’s ongoing corruption trial. Mr Netanyahu is charged with fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes in a series of cases alleging he exchanged favours with powerful media moguls and wealthy associates. He denies the charges and says he is the victim of a “witch hunt” by overzealous prosecutors, police and the media.Sauce Gardner Seemingly Takes Major Shot at Jets
AP News Summary at 1:38 p.m. ESTDuring the 2024 Global Governance Summit in Manila organized by the Institute of Corporate Directors (ICD), it was inevitable to have discussions on the grim reality that the Philippines lingers with a pervading risk environment that continues to exacerbate its arduous task towards achieving our dream of becoming a high-level economy by 2046, our centennial year celebrating 100 years of Philippine independence. According to the World Bank, a high level economy is currently pegged at US$14,005. Assuming we average a respectable 6 percent annual growth rate and based on today’s per capita of $4,200, per capita shall hover at $13,500 by 2046 — nominal at that and still stuck at mid-level economic status. This is alarming and embarrassing. More importantly, millions of Filipinos will continue to face poverty, hunger, social inequality and unemployment for an extended amount of time, not to mention the lost opportunities that we as a decent society deserve and pray for. We have to shape up fast. If India and Vietnam have excelled towards 8 percent annual economic growth in 2024, surely we can do the same through long term sustainable growth but not just in traditional manufacturing, tourism, information technology, foreign remittances, trade and investments but quite necessary to act also in highly underdeveloped but extremely high potential industries such as reforestation and responsible mining. Yes, we have to shape up fast not just in a few key industries but across the board! A reflection of industry performance could be traced on our capital markets. According to Dr. Jess Estanislao, our stock market should be more inclusive and must grow considerably, as it transforms itself in line with the further professionalization and modernization of our ASEAN counterparts. The main difference, as our Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) now ranks 5th among the ASEAN in terms of market capitalization, is the sheer number of listed companies stuck at less than 300. Further to this, the market capitalization of top publicly-listed Philippine companies far outweigh the rest of the bourse. Unlike our ASEAN neighbors, the stock exchanges are truly representative of a true market rather than a boutique list of players that seemingly pervades the PSE. Fortunately, the PSE is constantly upgrading and its management has identified its priorities. Let us support our beloved PSE in our joint aspirations for a more formidable Philippine stock exchange. As of November 2024, the total market capitalization of the PSE hovers around US$340 billion (CEIC), representing a modest share of the global market. This figure pales in comparison to traditional Asian powerhouses like Japan, with over US$6 trillion in market capitalization, and emerging markets such as India, with over US$3.5 trillion. The gap is widening. There have been conclusions that it is just too expensive to list, thus making this quite restrictive. Further to this would be the avoidance of the responsibility and costs involved for full disclosures — a short term investment no doubt, however, quite necessary to consider for long term strategic plans for enterprises, particularly as part of a conglomerate design for corporate sustainability. Another contributing factor is the concentration of family-owned businesses in the Philippines, many of which are dissuaded by public listing due to concerns over transparency and the costs of compliance... but that would be another full article by itself. Looking ahead To bridge the gap with global standards, the Philippines must prioritize reforms that promote inclusivity, resilience and sustainability. Key focus areas include: Expanding market participation: Encouraging more companies to go public through incentives and capacity-building programs for SMEs. Enhancing regulatory enforcement: Strengthening the capacity of regulators to monitor compliance and impose sanctions for violations. Integrating strategic governance and sustainability principles: Supporting businesses and organizations in adopting frameworks through the highest levels of excellence in good governance practices. Promoting diversity, equality and inclusiveness: Addressing imbalances in corporate leadership to align with global trends of inclusivity. Digital transformation: Leveraging technology to improve transparency, streamline compliance processes, and enhance stakeholder engagement. Until then..ANN ARBOR, Michigan (AP) — Michigan defensive lineman Kenneth Grant is skipping his final college season to enter the NFL draft. Grant, a key part of the Wolverines' 2023 national championship team, announced his decision Thursday on X, formerly known as Twitter. Fellow Michigan interior lineman Mason Graham had already declared for the draft. Both are projected as likely first-round picks. The 6-foot-3, 339-pound Grant was a third-team Associated Press All-American. He had 32 tackles, 6 1/2 tackles for loss and a pair of fumble recoveries. Grant helped Michigan upset Ohio State in the Big Ten regular-season finale, making four tackles. Cornerback Will Johnson and tight end Colston Loveland have also declared for the draft leading up to Michigan's game against No. 11 Alabama in the ReliaQuest Bowl.
