    Martins: Osimhen Needs Strong Competition In Eagles

    Former Nigerian international Obafemi Martins has disclosed that the Super Eagles need to develop another top striker to give Victor Osimhen direct competition, just as he had to fight for his place against Yakubu Aiyegbeni during his playing days. Speaking on The Obi One Podcast, Martins noted that the team rely too heavily on Osimhen and require an alternative and reliable forward to push for the starting spot.

    Recalling his era in the national team, he mentioned competing alongside strong forwards like Yakubu Aiyegbeni, Osaze Odemwingie, and Julius Aghahowa, where starting spots were earned through intense competition without personal animosity. “You need someone that is going to compete with all the players, not just Osimhen. “My own time, we had Yakubu there. If Yakubu starts the game, I’ll be on the bench waiting.

    “I know if he’s out and I score, I’m going to start the next game. We’re always like that. We don’t hate each other because of that.” Martins also defended Osimhen’s fiery on-field attitude, explaining that his intense passion should not be mistaken for a bad character. “You cannot keep him quiet.

    I think that’s what is keeping him going as well because the way he behaves does not mean he has a stinking attitude. That’s how he can play, so the majority of people don’t understand that. “Seeing him is a blessing in the national team as a Nigerian.

    We should try to make him happy and let him score more goals.” He already has competition but the so called midfieders say they only play to fit into VO9 playing style. Ridiculous to hear that.. Spain won the world cup without a proving or world class striker.

  • ‘It’s Not Ideal’  –Venus Calls Out Extremely Late US Open Start

    ‘It’s Not Ideal’ –Venus Calls Out Extremely Late US Open Start

    Veteran tennis star Venus Williams has called her record-setting 12:13 a.m. start time at the US Open not ideal after losing her first-round match to Sofia Kenin in the early hours of Monday morning. Williams and Kenin had to wait for a nearly five-hour, five-set marathon between Novak Djokovic and Mariano Navone on Arthur Ashe Stadium.

    Play concluded at 2:01 a.m. local time, marking the latest start and one of the latest finishes in US Open history with barely 1,000 fans left in the stands. The 46-year-old veteran fell in straight sets (6-2, 7-6) for her 15th consecutive singles defeat, though she remains slated to play doubles alongside her sister, Serena Williams.

    Venus noted that no other sport forces athletes to begin competing at such an ungodly hour, stating there is definite room for improvement. “It’s not ideal. I would have preferred something else, definitely. I think it wasn’t great for either of us, so I think we both tried our best. “I just don’t know any other sport where you have to start that late.

    I definitely think there’s room for improvement there. I just kept pushing myself to try to find my best tennis and to find my rhythm. It’s not easy to do in the first round. It’s not easy to do it at 1am or 2am in the morning. “The crowd was really enthusiastic. I had never played a match that late before, and I was happy to see that so many people stayed.

    It was a real honour to play in front of them.”

    WAFU B U-17 Championship: Golden Eaglets Step Up Preparations In Abuja

    Five-time world champions, the Golden Eaglets of Nigeria, continued their preparations for the 2026 WAFU B U-17 Championship with two friendly matches in Abuja on Saturday. The Nigerian youngsters recorded an emphatic 4-0 victory over Simonben Academy of Kaduna in their first game at the FIFA Goal Project pitch inside the MKO Abiola National Stadium.

    Despite creating several scoring opportunities in an entertaining first half, the Golden Eaglets went into the break with just a one-goal advantage. Coach Eboboritse Uwejamomere’s side, however, stepped up their performance after the interval and completely overwhelmed their opponents, scoring three more goals to seal a convincing 4-0 win. Later in the evening, the Golden Eaglets returned to the same venue for another friendly against Abuja-based Galadima FC.

    The encounter proved much tougher, with Galadima FC putting up a strong defensive display to frustrate the Eaglets. Nigeria created opportunities in their bid to break the deadlock but were unable to find a way past their resilient opponents as the contest ended goalless. The friendly matches form part of the Golden Eaglets’ build-up to this year’s WAFU-B U-17 Championship. The competition is scheduled to take place from October 4 to 17 in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

  • EPL: Saka’s Strike Earns Arsenal Hard-Fought Win At Aston  Villa

    EPL: Saka’s Strike Earns Arsenal Hard-Fought Win At Aston Villa

    Bukayo Saka’s second-half goal was the difference as Arsenal overcame a stubborn Aston Villa side in a close encounter at Villa Park. Saka fired home from close range on 59 minutes after neat interplay between Eberechi Eze and Riccardo Calafiori broke through a stubborn Villa backline. The result means the Premier League champions maintain their winning start to the season while Villa remain searching for their first victory of the campaign.

    This fixture was one of the few matches that Arsenal lost in winning the Premier League title last season but Saka’s goal decided what was a tight game despite an improved showing from Unai Emery’s much-changed Aston Villa line-up.

    The reigning Europa League champions were 4-0 down after 31 minutes at Brighton on the opening weekend but they showed far more resilience against the Gunners from the outset, with Emiliano Buendia crashing the ball against the crossbar on 12 minutes. Mikel Arteta’s men, unchanged from the win over Coventry, were their usual probing selves, asking searching questions from set pieces and controlling possession for long periods.

    But Gabriel’s mistimed header was as close as they came in the first half. Summer signing Christos Tzolis was substituted at half-time after receiving a yellow card and running the risk of a sending off after that, but the introduction of Eze worked out well with the Gunners ramping up the pressure in the second half with the ever-impressive Saka to the fore.

    Sam’s thought he had won a penalty early in the second half but Ian Maatsen’s foul was ruled to be outside the box following a VAR review. It mattered not because he slotted home Calafiori’s cross from close range soon afterwards.

  • Why Nigerian Football Culture Is Bigger Than Ninety Minutes

    From neighbourhood pitches to national-team nights, football remains one of Nigeria’s strongest shared languages.

    Looking beyond the headline

    The most useful way to approach this subject is to slow the conversation down, separate assumptions from what we can actually observe, and think about the choices available to ordinary people. That is the perspective behind “Why Nigerian Football Culture Is Bigger Than Ninety Minutes”. The goal is not to turn one idea into a rule for everybody, but to notice the principles that can travel across different situations.

    It also helps to ask what the conversation leaves out. Headlines naturally compress complex subjects. Real life contains trade-offs, timing, relationships, local realities and personal responsibilities that rarely fit into one sentence. A richer view makes room for those details and gives readers something practical to think about after the first impression has passed.

    Questions worth carrying with you

    What part of this subject affects everyday choices? Which assumptions deserve another look? Is there a habit, conversation or decision that could be handled with more intention? These questions keep a story useful even after the initial moment of interest has faded.

    For Regia Radio, thoughtful media should leave people better informed and more able to engage with the world around them. That means combining curiosity with responsibility: checking context, listening to different experiences and resisting the urge to reduce people or issues to a single easy explanation.
