Content Creator Decries Harassment By Security Agents
Eric Gugua, a content creator, has called for an end to this menace in the country by criticizing the ongoing harassment by security agents.
Gugua is a Nigerian digital author, blockchain expert, and educator known for his engaging content and ability to make sense of complex technical concepts.
The Head of Research at Trendx wants the government to address the issue of harassment during a youth forum on Channels Television with the theme “Pressing Issues Affecting Nigeria’s Youth.”

He said, “Cospirators go through a lot of things in terms of protection.” This space is still expanding, they say. Policies that specifically take people in this area into account must be put in place in terms of protection. We need to know that the government is more than just rolling out initiatives and making promises in that way.
A time has come when we realize that the government is interested in creating digital content and influencers. They are subjected to harassment whenever they go out to shoot content. He asserted that if it were coming from law enforcement, it would be from the local population.
Devaluation of the Naira
Niyi Akinmolayan, a filmmaker from Nollywood, attributed the devaluation of the naira to the devaluation of the naira.
The guest filmmaker on the program claimed that the main reason the streamers left was due to the program’s decision to devalue the naira. He also attributed blame to the government for ignoring the effects of these streamers’ withdrawal.
We as filmmakers simply woke up and saw emails from the big streamers who had left the Netflix and Amazons and who were unaware of some of these changes, such as the government’s concern that these aren’t just some random companies, the government is aware, the government taxes these people, how come the government isn’t even aware of some of these changes?
“Typically, people will make movies because they are aware of the existence of a future revenue stream, but that has vanished. The government didn’t take any action to warn people that the reason they left was largely due to the devaluation of the naira and the fact that paying the price they were paying for the license became a big deal, according to Akinmolayan.
RCB-Punjab Kings: Kohli closes on maiden IPL title as Bengaluru reach final
After Royal Challengers Bengaluru defeated Punjab Kings by eight wickets in a lopsided qualifier to reach the 10-team final, Virat Kohli edged closer to winning his first-ever Indian Premier League title.
Bengaluru were only 102 short of the required score for Sunday’s final due to their bowlers’ outstanding performance on Thursday, which gave them just 10 overs before opener Phil Salt, who led the charge with a score of 56 not out.
If Punjab can defeat Mumbai Indians’ Eliaser on Friday in the final, the team can still advance to the final.
Kohli has been Bengaluru’s top scorer this season, scoring 12 goals.
Since the league’s inception in 2008, the former India captain has been a part of the franchise. In 2009, 2011, and 2016, Bengaluru made it to the finals, but they each lost in three of those three games.
Salt remarked, “It’s a great feeling right now.” We had a second bite of the cherry, of course, but it’s a great feeling to get that out of the way first.
Simply put, it gives us that momentum. At the tail end of the tournament, it’s a cliche, but it’s so true.
Bengaluru have shown themselves to be formidable this year.
Their fiery pace attack, led by a returning Josh Hazlewood, bundled out Punjab in 14.1 overs.
At the halfway point of their innings, Hazlewood led Bengaluru’s superb pace display, which saw them defeat Punjab to 71-7.
Rival skipper Shreyas Iyer was one of Hazlewood’s (3-21) victims, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar took Prabhsimran Singh’s most notable wicket this season.
Suyash Sharma, who claimed 3-17 in his final three overs, sent leg-spinner Marcus Stoinis to make 26 before losing his stumps.
In their six powerplay overs, Bengaluru jumped to 61-1 in the fourth over, a 48-4 victory for Punjab, with Salt striking boundaries almost at will.
‘It can’t look like a circus’ – Munar accuses Paris crowd of ‘lack of respect’
French Open 2025
Location: Roland Garros, May 25 – June
In his five-set defeat to home favorite Arthur Fils, French Open champion Jaume Munar has criticised the “circus” created by the crowds and accused them of a “complete lack of respect.”
In their second-round match, the Spaniard rallied from two sets down to defeat 14th seed Fils, but the winner, Court Suzanne Lenglen, fell 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (7-4) 2-6 0-6 6-4.
Fils’ recovery from a back injury was sparked by a boisterous French crowd, who passionately backed him as he battled through it in four hours and 25 minutes.
In his post-game press conference, Munar stated, “I’m going to be very clear on the subject and I’m not going to mince my words.”
“I’m used to it,” I said, “but if they encourage the other player or if they yell, I’m okay.” It’s also very intense in South America.
They sing nonstop, they interrupt continuously, which is what I believe to be a complete lack of respect is. This happens frequently here.
Since Munar previously had a breakup, he had to ask the crowd to remain quiet during the final game.
After removing his shirt and lapping up the atmosphere, Fils managed to win the crowd over with a miraculous victory despite struggling to move at one point.
You have to remember that we are here to do our job, Munar said, “but it seems like a great show for the spectators.”
“It can’t look like a circus, and there are times when it looks like theater,” the statement goes.
They understand sports differently, they say, but the US Open is a show. They can be enthralled and have a sense of spectacle, but they never disrespect the players. It’s comparable in Australia.

Monaghan and Parsons in Ireland RWC training squad
In a 37-player training squad for the Women’s Rugby World Cup in England, Ireland’s Sam Monaghan and Beibhinn Parsons have both been chosen.
On August 24, Scott Bemand’s team’s tournament opener takes place against Japan, with New Zealand and Spain also in the mix.
With the 31-year-old lock missing this year’s championship and the WXV1 campaign due to a knee injury sustained playing for her club Gloucester-Hartpury, co-captain Monaghan has not played international rugby since the 2024 Six Nations.
Olympian Parsons has also been sidelined as a result of an injury, having broken two of her legs in December while competing in Ireland Sevens.
Only Enya Breen, who has 26 Tests to her name, is represented by Parsons’ panel of backs in addition to Bemand’s.
After missing out on the Six Nations, where Ireland finished third with two victories and three defeats, Sarah Delaney, Eimear Corri, and Shannon Ikahihifo are all included.
Only two of the panel’s members are uncapped players, Ivana Kiripati and Alma Atagamen.
Due to injuries from the Six Nations, renowned forwards Dorothy Wall and Erin King have already been forced out of the competition.
Seven days after Ireland’s final team for the competition, the country will have 32 players play warm-up games against Canada in Belfast on August 2 and Scotland in Cork on August 2.
Ireland Women’s World Cup training squad
Forwards: Alma Atagamen, Aoife Wafer, Brittany Hogan, Brittany Hogan, Christy Haney, Cliodhna Moloney, Deirbhile Nic a Bhaird, Edel McMahon, Fiona Tuite, Grace Moore, Ivana Kiripati, Jane Clohessy, Linda Djougang, Neve Jones, Niamh O’Dowd, Ruth Campbell, Sadhbh McGrat
