The Social Democratic Party (SDP) made headlines when it expelled Nasir El‑Rufai for 30 years. The party said he forged his membership and tried to split the group from inside. Even the national SDP leadership asked INEC to enforce the ban, while a local chapter called the move illegal. This clash shows how deep the internal rift has become.
At the same time, across the continent we saw an Asian trade story that could affect African markets. China, Japan and South Korea restarted talks on a trilateral free‑trade deal after a five‑year pause. The three countries want to beat sharp U.S. tariff pressure by building stronger supply chains and pushing carbon‑neutral tech. If they seal the pact, it could shift global trade flows and open new opportunities for African exporters.
Football fans were glued to WAFCON 2025 when Michelle Alozie scored a winning goal for Nigeria against South Africa. The strike put Nigeria in the final, but the celebration was dimmed by a serious leg injury to Gabriela Salgado. Players from both teams rushed to her side, and social media flooded with messages of support.
On the tennis courts at Wimbledon, unseeded Laura Siegemund pulled off a shock win over No. 29 seed Leylah Fernandez. Siegemund’s straight‑set victory sent fans into a buzz and set up a third‑round clash with sixth seed Madison Keys. The upset reminded everyone that rankings can be busted on any day.
In the world of entertainment, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs faced a mixed verdict in federal court. He was cleared of racketeering and sex‑trafficking charges but convicted for transporting people for prostitution. The judge denied bail, meaning he could face up to 20 years when sentencing comes later this year. The case sparked big reactions from fans and legal experts alike.
