By in News, Nigeria News

To promote socio-economic growth, improve security, and ease traffic congestion, the state’s governor, Dikko Radda, has inaugurated the 14.3-kilometer Daura Western Bypass Road.

The state’s urban renewal initiative is marked by this significant milestone.

The governor gave a brief speech on Wednesday during which the Emir of Daura, traditional rulers, federal and state legislators, and community members gave the project their start.

The Governor, who was present at the event, praised Daura as a town with a history and a reputation for promoting socio-economic growth, enhancing security, and reducing traffic congestion.

“This project demonstrates our commitment to promoting equitable development throughout Katsina State. The governor remarked that Dacia deserves modern infrastructure that is comparable to its historical significance.

Sani Ingawa, the commissioner for works, housing, and transportation, announced earlier that the project includes a 11.3-kilometer road that runs from Dunu Village to Ganga and ends in Dimurkol Village.

Despite being categorized as a federal government road, he added that the project also includes a three-kilometer dual carriageway along Katsina Road from Ganga to the Emir’s Palace.

According to Ingawa, “the goal is to improve infrastructure development in Daura and Katsina.”

Hon. the Speaker of the Katsina State Assembly, took his place. The road’s name was requested by Nasir Yahaya Daura, a representative of the Daura stakeholders.

Governor Radda deserves our sincere gratitude for choosing Daura for this significant development. Yahaya stated that this project will transform our community.

The governor was praised by HRH Umar Faruq Umar, the governor’s representative, for his honesty, commitment to the people’s welfare, and fair project distribution between Katsina and the Daura Emirates.

In honor of the governor, the Emir announced the names of the newly constructed roads as “Malam Dikko Umaru Radda Road.”

However, he expressed concern about the ongoing construction of Kano to Kongolam Road, claiming that the Emirate’s Main Gate needed to be destroyed without reconstruction.

Governor Radda assured that all plots and farms infringed on in accordance with the law.

Therefore, he ordered the Construction Company to work with another Construction Company to create a gate replica of the Emirate Palace.

Paqueta warned but avoids extended ban for dissent

Lucas Paqueta, a West Ham midfielder, has received a warning about his behavior, but the Football Association will extend his ban after his foul play against Liverpool.

Referee Darren England quickly issued the 28-year-old two yellow cards for disapproval during West Ham’s 2-0 home defeat on Sunday. For a decision to punish his team for consistently arguing, a punishment was given.

Before leaving the field, the Brazilian argued with officials and sarcastically applauded England’s decision.

The FA issued a warning and reminder of Lucas Paqueta’s responsibilities for the on-field incident that followed his red card against Liverpool on Sunday, November 30 as a guideline, according to the FA.

The FA said it won’t be taking any further action, but Paqueta will receive a ban for his dismissal, which will keep him out of Thursday’s game against Manchester United.

Following the defeat at Anfield, Paqueta remarked that his actions were “a reflection of everything I have endured,” in reference to the FA’s investigation into spot-fixing allegations in 2024.

In July of this year, an independent regulatory commission found Paqueta innocent of the charges.

In May of that year, he was accused of being allegedly booked “for the improper purpose of affecting the betting market.”

If Paqueta was found guilty, the regulatory commission determined that the four charges against him were “not proven.” However, he was subject to a lifetime ban from football.

After failing to follow the investigation, he received reprimands and cautions about how he should act in the future.

After accumulating five yellow cards in the league, Paqueta missed the 2-2 draw against Bournemouth because he had already been suspended for one game on Sunday.

Nuno Espirito Santo, manager of West Ham, stated that Paqueta remained impacted by the investigation and charges despite being cleared after the club’s defeat by Liverpool.

He is willing to move forward and try to put this aside and play football the way he does, Nuno said.

His lawyer told the BBC that Paqueta was “very emotional and very delighted” and had “an enormous weight off his chest” when he was cleared of the charges.

Reality TV star dead at 39 after devastating brain tumour

By in Entertainment News, News

A “gentle and strong” reality TV star and former professional athlete who lost his battle with a devastating brain tumor at the age of 39 has received many tributes.

A pro athlete turned reality TV star has died aged only 39, following a heartbreaking battle with a brain tumour. Roxana Moise found fame on Exatlon Romania, a show inspired by the global telly hit Survivor.

Before appearing on the show, Roxana had been a handball pro. She played for Olchim Ramnicu Valcea, but her pro sport days were cut short by a knee injury sustained in 2012. She spent some time as a referee of the sport and later worked as a fitness instructor.

Roxana eventually participated in Exalton Romania, in which participants were grouped into teams. She was a member of the Warriors’ team, which placed fifth overall in the TV series about endurance competitions.

When announcing the death, her family did not disclose a cause of death, but in recent months Roxana had been battling a brain tumour and would often wear a turban to hide her short hair. Her former coach Nicoleta Lazar, told Romanian sports site Fanatik that Roxana had been “very sick” but was still “optimistic”.

She explained that she and some other athletes she had trained had just spoken to each other three months prior. She texted us in the evening that she was ill and couldn’t come back. I believe we had spoken for at least an hour before.

She continued, “Ma’am, I’ll get better. You’ll see. ‘ However, it was obvious that she was already oubliing the subject. She had a lot of optimism.

Friends and former teammates emailed their condolences. You left behind a void that no one else can fill, according to one author. You left too soon, but we will always be in awe of your kindness, light, and love.

Another person described Roxana as a “rare” type of person, saying, “You were a rare, kind, gentle, and strong woman with a kindness that I have rarely encountered.”

Roxana works as a sports and fitness instructor for a secondary school in North West Bucharest after performing Exalton Romania. Additionally, she established a women’s only fitness facility. Three children are left behind her.

Yemen’s Houthis release 9 mariners held since July ship attack

By in News, World News
by news organizations

Mariners who had been held since a July 7 attack on a cargo ship in the Red Sea, an assault that resulted in the deaths of at least four people aboard the ship, were released by Yemen’s Houthi rebels.

The Houthis, who have targeted ships in Israel’s genocidal conflict in Gaza, reported via their Al Masirah TV news channel that Oman had taken control of the sailors who were arriving in the Sultanate on Wednesday.

Oman refused to acknowledge the release right away. According to flight-tracking data, a Royal Oman Air Force jet touched down in Yemen’s capital on Wednesday. The plane was tracked leaving Yemeni airspace after the Houthi’s announcement.

The Philippines predicted the release of nine Houthis-trained Filipino mariners on Tuesday, according to a statement released by the country. Since the July attack, the seamen have been held hostage by the Houthis, according to the Foreign Ministry in Manila.

The Houthis did not provide a quick breakdown of the countries represented by those released. After the attack, their forces left the damaged ship and were able to rescue the men.

During the Gaza truce, Houthis stop firing.

Six of the men, without expressions, were depicted in an image released by Al Masirah on Wednesday wearing the black and white checkered keffiyeh scarf that is frequently associated with the Palestinians.

11 people were also killed when the Liberian-flagged bulk carrier Eternity C was attacked.

In their campaign, the Houthis used drones and missiles to attack more than 100 ships, sinking four of them. At least nine mariners have been killed in the attacks, including one ship’s crew member who was killed in October from his wounds aboard the Minervagracht.

It was unclear why the Houthis have been holding the mariners for months in the past.

During an earlier ceasefire in Israel’s genocidal conflict with Gaza, the Houthis halted their attacks on the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. After Trump ordered a series of airstrikes against them, they later became the target of a truce with the rebels that had been reached.
