Nigeria’s chances of securing a spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup have all but vanished after FIFA confirmed the final line-up for the inter-confederation play-off tournament, with DR Congo selected as Africa’s representative. In an accreditation notice circulated to journalists ahead of the competition, FIFA detailed the tournament format and listed the six participating nations. DR Congo’s inclusion leaves no room for Nigeria, whose football federation had challenged their defeat in the CAF play-offs in November 2025.

The appeal sought to overturn the result and secure the Super Eagles’ place in the inter-continental play-offs. However, FIFA’s latest communication does not refer to any changes to the qualified teams, signaling that the original result will stand and confirming Nigeria’s elimination.  Th...

He made this known during a church service at Streams of Joy International in Abuja, led by Pastor Jerry Eze. A video of his testimony has since spread widely on social media. The actor explained that during those five years, no producer or director reached out to him for any project.

Johnson said the long break from acting pushed him to relocate to Abuja so he could attend prayer programmes at the church. Some colleagues reportedly advised him against the move, pointing out that Abuj...

Israeli officials say the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, came after years of intelligence gathering, surveillance and sophisticated technological monitoring that allowed them to pinpoint his movements and execute a precision strike on his location.

The cameras were reportedly part of a broader surveillance architecture that fed intelligence into an artificial in...
