Just a few weeks after the legendary singer’s performance at what would become his final ever performance with the other members of Black Sabbath, the news of Ozzy’s passing surfaced this week. On Saturday, July 5, the band’s hometown of Birmingham hosted the massive show at Villa Park.

In the months leading up to the 42, 000 capacity event, Ozzy, who had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, had been having trouble managing his health. However, Sex Pistols’ long-time friend Steve Jones declared his intention to make his eulogy a memorable event.

He described his pal as a “pioneer”, recalling his humour and how important his final gig was to him. Reflecting on his death, he said: “I knew Oz, he was a legend and he was brilliant. It is sad, but I think he was holding on until he got that Aston Villa last show out of it, and I think he just said, okay, ‘I’m ready to go’.

I don’t believe he had any quality of life, therefore. If my life had resembled his, I believe I would have probably wanted to leave.

Ozzy was a loving grandad for Lisa's children.

On his SiriusXM radio show, Ozzy explained, “I have made it to 2025. You know what I was thinking over the holidays, but I can’t walk. Despite my complaints, I’m still alive.

He continued, “I may be complaining that I can’t walk, but I look down the road and see people who didn’t do as much as I did and made it.” He’s fine, according to Sharon, Ozzy’s wife and manager, and Sharon, his wife, who also works for the music station, to maintain his muscle.

Aimee, 41, and Louis, 50, Ozzy’s widow, who is 72, and four of his children, Kelly, 40, Jack, 39, Aimee, 41, and Louis, 50, all shared a statement to confirm his passing.

FAAC Allocation: Tinubu Urges Governors To Deliver Results

By in News, Nigeria News

Following the release of a total of $1. 11 trillion in funding to states and local governments through the Federation Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC) in the previous year, President Bola Tinubu has made a call to the governors of state to explain the unprecedented fiscal inflow with tangible development results.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) meeting’s National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting featured the president, who urged the governors to redouble their efforts to promote grassroots development, claiming that many Nigerians were still dissatisfied with the pace of governance and the benefits of democracy.

We need to do more, Tinubu said. At the grassroots, Nigerians continue to complain. You, the governors, need to sand the ground and encourage more grassroots democracy-building.

We must not fall asleep. The effects of government must be felt more directly by the populace.

The Federal Government just announced that it had a total of 14.27 trillion in tax revenues for the year between January and June, an increase of 43% over the $9.98 trillion that was collected in the first half of 2024.

Dodgers’ journey from ‘best ever’ to ‘rock bottom’

Boston Red Sox vs. Los Angeles Dodgers

Date: Sunday, July 27th, 2018 First pitch: 18:35 BST. Location: Fenway Park, Boston

The Los Angeles Dodgers continued their success after winning the World Series last year.

The current Major League Baseball season began with a strong start, becoming the first team to win eight games as defending champions.

This is the best MLB team that has ever been assembled, according to many, according to the report.

The Dodgers are still at the top of their division three months later, but they are still struggling.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was desperate to stop the rot after Tuesday’s defeat to Minnesota, saying, “It better be rock bottom.”

How did the Dodgers improve further?

Former World Series champion Chase Utley claimed that the Dodgers’ “entire line-up has the ability to hit a home run and they play great defense,” according to a statement made by the team’s owner to BBC Sport following last year’s championship win. They simply excel in every way possible.

Their roster improved even more over the off-season. Blake Snell and Roki Sasaki were added to their starting pitcher rotation after injuries last year, adding depth and depth.

They also resigned veteran pitcher Clayton Kershaw, who they knew would eventually allow Shohei Ohtani to play after recovering from elbow surgery.

Ohtani is a “unicorn” because of his dual athleticism. The Japanese star is the first MLB player to combine the two skills for hitting and pitching.

He was unable to hit in his first season after signing with the Dodgers in a $ 700 million (£558 million) deal, but the team still won the World Series and earned his third Most Valuable Player award.

Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, both of whom are members of a gang of players with long-term contracts, are also in the Dodgers’ offensive line-up.

Since winning the first prize, what has gone wrong?

The Dodgers did a good job of providing pitching insurance for the season after their injury woes returned, with four of their starting pitchers having been out for some time.

They have relied on their relieving pitchers, the bullpen, far more than any other MLB team, to maintain that early-season form.

Six relief pitchers are currently out injured, and the team is generally struggling for form in the outfield, on the mound, and at the plate.

In his previous 49 games, Betts has three home runs, and Freeman has one.

For the first time since September 2017, the Dodgers lost seven games in a row at the start of this month. Their record is 53-43 after that 8-0 season opener.

As manager Dave Roberts stated on Tuesday, “It better be rock bottom in terms of how we’ve been pitching and playing defense.”

“I think the offence is starting to get worse, which is good. There is undoubtedly more to it. However, I believe it has been a difficult watch in terms of baseball’s quality. It actually has.

However, Ohtani’s class is still shining through. This year, only Cal Raleigh of Seattle has allowed more home runs than Ohtani (37).

Over the past week, Ohtani has homered in five games in a row, and he has also had three strikeouts as a pitcher in one of those games.

The Dodgers were relieved by the 31-year-old’s return to the mound last month.

Red Sox are also trying to regroup.

Dustin May is expected to start for the Dodgers in Sunday’s game against Boston, but Ohtani won’t be able to pitch again until Wednesday.

And the Fenway Park mound will be greeted by a well-known face.

Before the start of their three-game series on Friday, some of his former teammates presented Walker Buehler with his World Series ring for his triumph in the Dodgers’ championship championship. Buehler left the Dodgers for the Red Sox in the off-season.

The Dodgers improved to 61-43 overall in the National League West division with a 5-2 victory in Friday’s game.

Wilyer Abreu (20 home runs) is Boston’s leading hitter and they are third in the American League East at 55-50.

The Red Sox have won just two of their past seven games since winning 10 of their first 10 games before the All-Star break.

They would currently end their three-year play-off absence, but they also need improvement to ensure a wild card spot.

Colson Smith and Jack’s stag do battle.

The couple made the decision to defy the custom of traditional stag and hen parties. Jack made the declaration that he doesn’t want a stag do in January of this year.

He previously stated, “No, I don’t like going on a stag do where someone just takes the p*** out of you all weekend, you’re the butt of every joke, and you have to dress like a f***ing baby.”

Later, he later got into a fight with Colson Smith, who recently left Coronation Street after playing Craig Tinker.

Colson revealed that he had been thinking about having a party for Jack during an interview on their podcast On the Sofa. He said, “There is something I need to discuss with you about this subject, but I’m not sure when to do it.”

The Craig Tinker star continued, “You’re very, very against it, but now is the right time.” However, I just need to let you know that it’s happening and that there are only four of us, all of whom are five, when we add up to five, so we have to let you know that you are having a stag do.

Jack’s romantic proposal to Hanni

The couple made the announcement in June of last year through an Instagram romantic post that made it known that they were engaged while on vacation in Zanzibar.

Malnutrition in Nigeria killed 652 children in past six months, MSF says

By in News, World News

According to Doctors Without Borders, at least 652 children in the state of Katsina in Nigeria perished from malnutrition in the first six months of 2025.

The charity, which is known by its French name MSF, claimed in a statement on Friday that Katsina, which is located in the country’s north, continued to experience violence and insecurity, and that the deaths were brought on by funding cuts from international donors.

According to MSF, “We are currently seeing massive budget cuts, particularly from the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union,” which are having a real impact on the care of malnourished children.

Nearly 70, 000 malnourished children had already received medical care from the MSF teams in Katsina State, according to the NGO, including nearly 10,000 who were in serious condition by the end of June this year.

However, it made a strong point that northern Nigeria needs to be mobilized right away to prevent and treat malnutrition.

Other socioeconomic indicators, including insecurity and violence, are contributing to malnutrition in the north of Nigeria, which are caused by low vaccine coverage, access to basic health services, and other factors that are contributing to malnutrition.

According to MSF, “unfortunately 652 children have already died in our facilities since the beginning of 2025,” the number of children in Katsina suffering from the most severe form of malnutrition has increased by about 208 percent this year compared to the same period last year.

In Katsina, where many people have been forced to leave their farms due to insecurity, banditry is prevalent. The government has worked hard to stop bandits’ activities along with local civilian vigilante organizations.

WFP stops providing aid

The UN food agency announced on Wednesday that because supplies had run out due to “critical funding shortfalls,” it would have to stop providing food and nutrition aid to 1.3 million people in Nigeria’s northeast by the end of July.

Margot van der Velden, the regional head of the World Food Programme (WFP), stated that it will be heartbreaking to have to halt humanitarian aid to the populations in conflict-stricken regions.

That means that 700, 000 displaced people will be left with no means of survival, according to her, and more than 1.3 million people in Nigeria will lose access to food and nutrition support. 150 nutrition clinics in Borno State in the northeast may close, and 300, 000 children are at risk of severe malnutrition, according to the report.

The US Agency for International Development (USAID) has been the foundation of the humanitarian response in northeastern Nigeria for many years, assisting non-governmental organizations in providing food, shelter, and healthcare to millions of people.

The Trump administration has slashed foreign aid and disbanded USAID, blaming it for supporting a liberal agenda and supporting waste. Additionally, other Western donors have reduced their funding for international aid.

Isak situation has to be right for Newcastle – Howe

Manager Eddie Howe believes that the future of Alexander Isak “must be the right thing for Newcastle.”

In light of Liverpool’s interest, the striker is contemplating leaving the club.

Isak did not travel with the squad to Singapore on Thursday because Newcastle claimed he had a thigh injury, but the Sweden international wants to look into moving.

Despite signing Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike for an initial sum of $69 million, a source has informed BBC Sport that Liverpool are still interested in the 25-year-old.

Howe stated before Sunday’s pre-season friendly against Arsenal that: “Of course there are things going on behind the scenes.

He will be aware that everyone in that circumstance will be aware that he is on the news daily, and I’m sure that’s not easy. For obvious reasons, conversations between Alex and the club and myself will remain private.

We do have a good relationship, she says. Since he joined, he has been fantastic. In the dressing room, he is very well-liked.

We would like to see him continue his journey to Newcastle. However, whatever happens needs to go according to Newcastle.

Isak, who left Real Sociedad for about £60 million in August 2022, has a contract until June 2028. Last season, he made 27 goals in all 42 starts for Newcastle.

After Isak was unable to win a 4-0 friendly defeat against Celtic last Saturday, Howe stated that the player would “absolutely” be a part of the squad for the games in Singapore and South Korea.

Isak is being evaluated for his injury, according to Howe, adding, “Hopefully he’ll be back soon and playing in the black and white shirt.” That is what we all desire.

Before the Celtic game, he continued, “He first mentioned his thigh.” We assumed that there would be nothing too serious, just minimal injury. He probably arrived for training very early on Monday following the Celtic game because he didn’t feel well.

Howe stated that any contract negotiations would take place “at a later time” but that he has not yet had direct contact with Newcastle’s board regarding Isak’s future.

When asked if Isak would stay, he replied, “I certainly hope he stays after the Celtic game, and I said I was confident he would stay.”

“I don’t see anything in the moment that will change my opinion,” he said. “But football is a game and who knows what the future may bring”?

Financially speaking, “We are in a very strong position.
