Rasheedat Ajibade, a prominent figure in the Super Falcons and a devout Christian, remains committed to spreading her faith on various fronts.

Addressing a common misconception about her name, which is often associated with Islam due to its origins, Ajibade took advantage of her social media presence to provide insights into her Christian beliefs. Her active practice of Christianity is evident in her daily life, as she openly expresses her devotion online, according to reports by Life Blogger.

The Atletico Madrid Women striker recently extended an act of kindness through her foundation, visiting the Makoko area in Lagos.

“James 1:27 reminds us that genuine religion in the eyes of God entails compassion for orphans and widows in their times of struggle, while resisting the world’s corrupting influences. A few days back, I joined forces with my like-minded friends on a heartwarming journey to a Makoko slum in Lagos, Nigeria. Our mission was twofold: to extend acts of kindness and to share the gospel’s light (Mark 16:15). ??

“They are damaging English football” — Pochettino

Latest entertainment gist

Chelsea’s manager, Mauricio Pochettino, expressed vehement criticism towards the Update Assistant Referee (VAR) system following Chelsea’s 2-2 draw against Aston Villa on Saturday.

The Blues found themselves trailing by two goals in the first half but managed to stage a comeback, leveling the score in the second half.

Axel Disasi believed he had secured the winning goal with a header, only for VAR to intervene and disallow the goal. This decision ultimately left Chelsea settling for a draw. With this result, Chelsea currently sits in 9th place in the Premier League standings with 48 points.

In a post-match statement, Pochettino stated,

“Two different things: the referee said it was a foul and disallowed the goal and then went to the VAR to confirm. The referee is unbelievable and it’s ridiculous. It is difficult to accept these types of things.”

He went on to reference previous contentious VAR decisions, including one in the FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City, which further fueled his frustration.

Wife gets court summons for son’s DNA test |

Latest entertainment gist

Omowunmi, the wife of Ilerioluwa Aloba, Nigeria’s late musician professionally known as Mohbad, has received the court summons for her to carry out a DNA test to confirm the paternity of her son, Liam.

The Eagle Online recalls that a Magistrate’s Court in Ikorodu, Lagos had given the order for substituted service on her.

This followed the inability of court bailiffs to serve the summons on Omowunmi personally.

According to available information on Saturday, the summons was affixed to the gate of the last known address of Omowunmi.

This followed the application filed by the legal team to Joseph Aloba, father to the late singer, which sought an order to serve Omowunmi by posting all the originating processes and other processes in the suit on her last known address.

A statement signed by a member of the legal team to the Aloba family, Monisola Odumosu, confirmed this.

According to the statement, the legal team, led by Emmanuel Oroko, had argued that the sheriff had attempted twice to serve Omowunmi the court process but failed.
