Cape Verde’s Historic Triumph: Blue Sharks Secure First-Ever World Cup Berth for 2026

Praia, Cape Verde – October 13, 2025
In a seismic moment for African football, Cape Verde has officially qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup after a dominant 3-0 victory over Eswatini at the Estádio Nacional in Praia. The win secured top spot in CAF Group D with 23 points, finishing four points ahead of Cameroon — a major upset that sends shockwaves across the continent.

Match Highlights – A Night of Glory in Praia:
Before 15,000 jubilant fans, the Blue Sharks delivered a masterclass in composure and strategy.
- 52: Juary Soares broke the deadlock with a calm finish from a Garry Rodrigues through-ball.
- 61’: Captain Roberto “Pico” Lopes powered in a header from a Bebé corner.
- 90+3' : Veteran defender Stopira sealed the win with another towering header.

Goalkeeper Vozinha ensured a clean sheet, as Cape Verde completed an unbeaten home campaign, using a solid 4-3-3 formation built on tactical discipline and diaspora strength.

“This is for every Cape Verdean, from Praia to the diaspora,” said an emotional *Coach Bubista*. “Since 1975, we’ve dreamed of this moment. Today, we live it.”

Cape Verde now becomes one of the smallest nations ever to qualify for a FIFA World Cup, proving once again that belief, talent, and unity can overcome any odds.

Prof. Idia Ize-Iyamu Named UBTH’s First Female CMD, Set to Revolutionize Healthcare

In a landmark move to advance Nigeria’s healthcare sector, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Professor Idia Nibukun Ize-Iyamu as the new Chief Medical Director of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH), effective August 18, 2025. This historic appointment marks Prof. Ize-Iyamu as the first female CMD in UBTH’s history, underscoring the administration’s commitment to merit-based leadership and transformative healthcare delivery.

Prof. Ize-Iyamu, a globally trained craniofacial orthodontist, brings an impressive 27-year tenure at UBTH, having risen from Junior Registrar in 1997 to Honorary Consultant in 2005. As the current Dean of the School of Dentistry at the University of Benin, she has driven infrastructure upgrades, secured public-private partnerships, and mentored countless doctors now thriving globally. With advanced training from Oxford University Teaching Hospital and the University of Washington, Seattle, her expertise and over 55 scholarly publications position her to elevate UBTH to international standards.

Her vision prioritizes patient-centered care, technological innovation, and expanded specialist services, aiming to make UBTH a model teaching hospital in Nigeria. The appointment, announced on August 8, 2025, follows the successful tenure of outgoing CMD, Professor Darlington Obaseki. It aligns with broader federal efforts, as President Tinubu also appointed five other CMDs for federal hospitals nationwide.

Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, was praised for fostering a supportive environment for healthcare reform, complementing the federal government’s Renewed Hope Agenda. The Honourable Minister of Health, Professor Muhammad Ali Pate, hailed the appointment as a strategic step toward excellence in healthcare delivery.

With Prof. Ize-Iyamu’s leadership, UBTH is poised to become a beacon of medical excellence, blending cutting-edge innovation with compassionate care to serve Edo State and beyond.

Hulk Hogan, born Terry Gene Bollea, has passed away at the age of 71. He died at his home in Clearwater, Florida, reportedly from cardiac arrest following complications from recent neck and heart surgeries.

Hogan was a towering figure in professional wrestling, instrumental in catapulting the WWF (now WWE) into mainstream popularity during the 1980s with his "Hulkamania" persona. His iconic match against André the Giant at WrestleMania III remains one of the most memorable moments in wrestling history.

Beyond the ring, Hogan ventured into acting, appearing in films like Rocky III and Mr. Nanny, and starred in the reality TV series Hogan Knows Best. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame twice, reflecting his significant impact on the industry.

WWE and fans worldwide are mourning the loss of this legendary figure, whose charisma and contributions left an indelible mark on sports entertainment.
