I’ll never advise my son to visit Nigeria – Taribo West

A former Super Eagles defender, Taribo West, on Friday, berated the Nigeria Football Federation and Lagos State Government for allegedly abandoning the family of late goalkeeper, Peter Rufai.

Speaking at Rufai’s burial in a video posted by News Central on Friday, the ex-Inter Milan star expressed disappointment over what he described as the neglect of Nigerian football heroes after their death.

“It’s disheartening that you have Lagos State, you have the Nigerian Football Association. They drop the bulk on the family. I felt in my spirit that there is nothing to put your life for. That’s why I say I have to shift back so that I will not implode. It’s grieving.

“My mother passed on. I never shed tears. My father passed on in my hands. I never shed tears. When Rufai passed on, I had goose pimples on my body. And every individual I’m speaking to, there were tears rolling down my cheeks. What kind of nation is this?” he said

The former international recalled similar situations with late football icons such as Stephen Keshi, Rashidi Yekini, and Thompson Oliha, stressing that the treatment of ex-players discouraged him from encouraging his children to serve the country through football.

“With this kind of example, I will never advise even my son to put his feet for this country. Send me out! Do we have a Football Federation or do we have a Football Association in this Lagos State? That this hero, this soldier, this football evangelist, has to be treated this way in his family.

“Could you imagine that the family would be crying just to solicit in within our groups to ask for money? That is madness. Look, please let me go. I don’t want to pour my heart,” he stated.

Rufai, fondly called “Dodo Mayana,” was Nigeria’s first-choice goalkeeper during the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations triumph and the country’s debut at the FIFA World Cup the same year.

He passed away in July 2025.

African journalists group condemns Israel’s targeting of journalists, demands sanctions

“The deliberate targeting of these journalists indicates the Israeli state’s clear strategy of suppressing the truth and silencing the media," the group said.

A coalition of African journalists, African Journalist Against Genocide (AJAG), on Wednesday condemned Israel’s targeting of Palestinian journalists in Gaza and called for international sanctions.

“We, a coalition of African journalists from across the continent, have joined our voices under the umbrella of AJAG to condemn Israel’s intentional and deliberate targeting of our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza,” part of the press statement released by the group read.

“We call on the international community to apply sanctions and treat Israel as it once treated apartheid South Africa. We demand accountability and justice for our Palestinian colleagues.”

According to the group, the coalition was created by Nigerian broadcast journalist Ireti Bakare-Yusuf, with media personalities from over 20 African countries.

The AJAG noted that since the beginning of the Israeli and Palestinian conflict in 2023, “over 250 journalists have been killed in Gaza,” describing it as the deadliest period for journalists in the 21st century.

They also condemned Israel for preventing international journalists from reporting the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, leaving the world to depend on reports from journalists in Gaza.

However, AJAG said, “The deliberate targeting of these journalists indicates the Israeli state’s clear strategy of suppressing the truth and silencing the media. Without their voices, their eyes, their determination to inform, report, and document the atrocities on the ground, the world would be blind to the full scale of Israel’s genocidal campaign against a besieged population.”

“We believe that our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza are being punished for simply telling the world the truth.”

The group emphasised the importance of journalism as a source of truth, ensuring accountability and scrutinizing policies that affect citizens’ lives. Therefore, they insisted that reporting war crimes should not be considered a criminal offense. But “Killing journalists is a crime.”

“We call on all national journalist groups and formations, along with the Federation of African Journalists (FAJ) and other continental and international press groups, to demand accountability and justice. African voices cannot be silent,” AJAG demanded.

On 11 August, we reported the death of five Al Jazeera journalists due to an Israeli strike in Gaza.

One of them is a prominent voice for the news channel and has been reporting from inside the city since the crisis began in October 2023.

The correspondent, Anas al-Sharif, was targeted in an air raid on a tent at Al-Shifa hospital’s main gate alongside his colleagues, correspondent Mohammed Qreiqeh and three camera operators, Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal, and Moamen Aliwa.

The Israeli forces have claimed responsibility for it, describing Mr Al-Sharif as a member of the “Hamas terrorist organisation,” disguised as a journalist. However, Al Jazeera’s managing editor, Mohamed Moawad, described him as an accredited journalist and was “the only voice” for the world to know what was happening in the Gaza Strip.

Also, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has condemned Israel for killing journalists.

CPJ noted that 184 Palestinian journalists have been killed by Israel since the war began on 7 October 2023.

US: Nigeria’s N70k minimum wage lower than poverty income level

The United States government says Nigeria’s N70,000 minimum wage is incapable of lifting millions of the country’s citizens out of poverty.

In its 2024 country reports on human rights practices, released on August 12, 2025, the US Department of State said the minimum wage, currently valued at about $47.90 per month, has been severely eroded by the devaluation of the naira.

The report also noted that wage enforcement remains weak across the country.

“The law provided for a national minimum wage for public and private sector employers with 25 or more full-time employees, with exceptions for seasonal agricultural workers, part-time workers, those on commission, and some others,” the report reads.

“The National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act 2024 doubled the minimum wage to 70,000 naira ($47.90) per month. Despite the increase, currency devaluation meant the minimum wage was no longer higher than the poverty income level.
