Noel Gallagher took to the stage for Oasis’s final night in Ireland during their current 2025 tour and was the subject of some vicious boos. The 58-year-old appeared to be irate his audience at Croke Park, Ireland, for the second of two nights.

Noel, who stunned fans last year when he reunited with his brother Liam Gallagher to announce the current Oasis Live’25 Tour, posed the question, “Anyone from Manchester?” before half-performing in Half The World Away on Sunday night. He didn’t anticipate the reaction, though, as the crowd booed.

He continued, “Excuse me, excuse me,” shocked by the response. Booing for Manchester residents? Oh no, that won’t work, no, no, no, no! Be nice”! Lennon, Liam’s oldest son, made the decision to boycott the Dublin concerts and travel to Ibiza.

As he introduced Half The World Away, he said: “This is for the Royle Family – the real Royal Family,” a swipe at the House of Windsor. Ahead of Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee, he said he wasn’t “anti-royal” but noted that the “appeal” of the monarchy had been “dwindling”.

Before calling the monarchy “a little farcical,” he said, “There are other things that people should be interested in.”

Noel and Liam played two sold-out shows at the iconic Irish venue, which can accommodate more than 80, 000 audience members at once, but the frosty response from the Dublin audience was unable to maintain a successful weekend. On Saturday night, they performed to a crowded audience, which included some extended family members.

On Saturday, Liam revealed that his mother, Peggy, was standing next to him as he sang a song in honor of her. He told the audience, “This one, I want to dedicate to my mum, my mum is here tonight,” before performing Stand By Me.

After a brief hiatus that began in 2009, proud mother Peggy has been supporting her sons. They have decided to put aside their differences and perform for fans.

The Gallagher Mawas was questioned about Noel and Liam’s reunion in a June interview. She responded, “Yes, I was the instigator. But wasn’t it going to happen at some point, surely? Of course, that was their choice. Look, you can’t make them do things they don’t want to.

Noel’s 25-year-old daughter Anas Gallagher was also on the show on Saturday. She shared video clips of a friend singing along to Live Forever on social media while enjoying herself in the crowd.

She then uploaded a photo of her dad and her uncle Liam performing live music to the delight of Oasis fans. Oasis will next fly to Canada to play in Toronto following their Dublin shows.

Gigs will then take them across North America before they return to the UK for two more London shows. They then head to Asia, Australia, and then South America – with the tour ending in Brasil in late November.

Can a national dialogue solve South Africa’s problems?

Three decades after apartheid, the process aims to shape the nation’s next chapter of democracy.

Cyril Ramaphosa, president of South Africa, wants people to talk and talk.

He has set up a citizen-led national dialogue process to help South Africans from all walks of life choose how to tackle issues like poverty, corruption, and inequality.

However, according to critics, his party, the African National Congress (ANC), has done so for 30 years.

Can a conference help address the nation’s long-standing issues, then?

Will the ANC splits be addressed during the discussions?

Air Canada flight attendants to continue strike despite government order

Air Canada flight attendants have declared that they will continue to work despite an unconstitutional government-backed labor board’s recommendation to resume work by 2pm ET (18:00 GMT).

The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) stated in a statement on Sunday that its members would continue to strike and have invited Air Canada back to the table to “negotiate a fair deal.”

The biggest airline in Canada has announced that its flights will resume on Monday night. During the peak summer travel season, about 130, 000 people were already affected by the strike each day.

The Canadian government requested from the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) on Saturday to order a binding arbitration order to put an end to a strike by more than 10,000 flight attendants at the nation’s largest carrier.

In order to safeguard the economy, the government has the authority to request a binding arbitration from the CIRB under the terms of the Canadian Labour Code. Unionized flight attendants opposed the order, which Air Canada had requested from the CIRB.

A union’s defiance of a CIRB order is unusual. What options does the government have if the union continues its strike, it was unclear right away.

After months of negotiations over a new contract, Air Canada flight attendants finally quit their jobs on Saturday for the first time since 1985.

Other unions shook the flight attendants’ picket line in support of solidarity in Toronto on Sunday, according to Natasha Stea, a local union president and flight attendant.

They are supporting us because they are seeing the erosion of our rights, Stea said.

The union’s request for compensation for time spent on the ground between flights and when assisting passengers on board has been the most contentious issue. The majority of guests are only paid when their plane is moving.

Jonathan, Sowunmi Felicitate IBB At 84

General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB), former military president, is being celebrated on his 84th birthday with former president Goodluck Jonathan and other Nigerians.

Jonathan described him as a nationalist and one of Nigeria’s most outstanding leaders in a ceremony ceremony at his Hilltop residence in Minna on Sunday.

“We praise God that this nation has produced many leaders since independence, but General Ibrahim Babangida stands out as one who gave his all as a military head of state.” His residence has become a “Mecca” for Nigerians from all over the nation, which speaks volumes about his personality.

He doesn’t hold any sectarian positions, but he does believe in the unity of Nigeria. He has friends from all over the nation. We’ll keep honoring him and wishing for his long life so that he can continue to lead the younger generation, Jonathan declared.

During the 2019 presidential election, Segun Showunmi, the former president, and former Atiku Abubakar spokesperson, accompanied the former president with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for Ogun State.

In his remarks, Showunmi referred to Babangida as a leader who had courage and vision and whose experience is still important to the country.

General Babangida is one of the leaders of Nigeria who has the audacity and courage to pursue big ideas. His wisdom is always needed at crucial points in our nation’s development, he said, and we thank God that he is still with us.
