The Los Blancos battled to a 2-1 win over Real Sociedad at the Anoeta, making it a flawless start to the campaign. Yet, one major talking point overshadowed the three points — the red card shown to Dean Huijsen.

The Incident That Sparked Debate

In the second half, the 20-year-old Huijsen committed what looked like a clumsy challenge in his own half while Sociedad launched a counterattack.

Referee José Munuera Montero wasted no time and flashed a straight red card. But here’s the wahala: replays clearly showed that Éder Militão was still covering, meaning Huijsen wasn’t the last man.

Omo, fans were already fuming when the referee refused to consult VAR. The decision stood, leaving Madrid players and supporters baffled.

Alonso’s Reaction

As expected, head coach Xabi Alonso didn’t hide his feelings during the post-match press conference.

He said:

“It was a yellow card for me. Militão was close, the ball wasn’t under control, they were 40 meters away (from goal). Watching the replay, I still don’t change my mind. The referee gave me his explanation, and I wasn’t convinced.”

Omo, no sugarcoating here — Alonso clearly believes his player was unfairly punished.

Fans Join the Debate

On social media, Madridistas echoed Alonso’s frustration. Some called it “one of the softest reds in La Liga this season,” while others accused the referee of “spoiling the game.”

One fan wrote: “VAR is there for a reason, why not check?” Another added: “Militão was right there, clear yellow not red.”

What’s Next?

Despite the controversy, Madrid held on for the win. But now, the club faces the possibility of Huijsen missing crucial games unless the red card is overturned on appeal.

This one no be small gist — all eyes are on the Spanish FA to see if justice will be served.

According to reports, Saudi officials allegedly chained her hands and legs while questioning her about a “Ghana Must Go” sack said to contain marijuana.

Omo this is painful – because all evidence so far suggests that Maryam may have been wrongly implicated.

Husband Speaks Out

Her husband, Abdullahi Baffa, who traveled with her on the same flight, revealed that they both left Nigeria with just one bag each from Malam Aminu Kano International Airport. However, upon arriving in Jeddah on August 7, they discovered their luggage was missing.

Shockingly, Maryam was later linked to a suspicious sack, even though Saudi security reportedly noticed inconsistencies between her tag numbers and the impounded bag.

Speaking to SaharaReporters, Baffa accused Ethiopian Airlines staff and baggage handlers of being behind the mix-up.

“The Ethiopian airline confessed that baggage was added to her name. Video footage shows the suspect who committed the crime,” he alleged.

Airline, Suspects & Nigerian Gov’t Involvement

According to Baffa, suspects in Nigeria – including airline handlers – are already in the custody of security agencies. He claimed the airline has admitted wrongdoing and video evidence exists, though he has been urged not to release it publicly yet.

Omo, this one go hot – because if true, it means Maryam has been suffering in Saudi detention for something she knew nothing about.

Baffa added that the Nigerian government is now officially stepping into the case to secure justice for his wife.

Official Silence So Far

When contacted, both Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd.), NDLEA Chairman, and Abdur-Rahman Balogun, NIDCOM spokesperson, said they were not aware of Maryam’s detention as of press time.

Meanwhile, Maryam remains in custody in Saudi Arabia, sparking calls from Nigerians for urgent government intervention to prevent another innocent citizen from being punished abroad for an alleged crime tied to negligence.

According to the calendar, the league will kick off on Friday, August 22, 2025 — and omo, the opening match is already looking like fireworks!

Opening Clash That Could Set the Tone

Defending champions Remo Stars will lock horns with Rivers United in Ikenne on opening day. This isn’t just any fixture; it’s a showdown between two heavyweights, and whoever wins will be sending a loud statement for the rest of the season.

Omo, that first whistle go loud oh!

Mid-Season Break Confirmed

To give teams and players a breather, the NPFL will go on a mid-season break from December 30, 2025, to January 6, 2026. This one go sweet because it’s a chance for clubs to rest, restrategize, and maybe even sign new players.

Speaking of signings…

Transfer Window Dates Announced

The mid-season transfer window will run from January 1 to January 30, 2026. This is the period where clubs will be hustling to strengthen their squads, and you already know transfer drama never dey dull for NPFL.

Season Finale Date Locked In

According to the NPFL schedule, the 2025/26 season will officially wrap up on Sunday, May 24, 2026. That’s when we’ll finally see who will lift the trophy, who will qualify for continental football, and sadly, who will face relegation.

Omo, by that time hearts will be broken and dreams will be made!

Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, has broken his silence over the viral video involving Comfort Emmanson, a female passenger on an Ibom Air flight, who was captured physically assaulting a flight staff and security personnel.

Omo, this viral matter no be small at all.

In a tweet posted on X (formerly Twitter), Keyamo condemned the public release of the video, which showed indecent exposure of Emmanson during the altercation. He directed that the person responsible for leaking the footage should be identified and sanctioned.

“The Police has promptly arraigned her this morning at the Ikeja Magistrates Court for criminal offences and remanded her at Kirikiri Prisons as she could not provide adequate sureties in court,” Keyamo stated.

Lifetime Flight Ban and Court Case

According to the minister, the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has banned Emmanson indefinitely from flying within Nigeria. She has also been charged to court and is currently remanded in Kirikiri Prison after failing to meet bail conditions.

Omo, from trending online to prison in just days — this matter don escalate fast.

Omo, this is serious oh!

According to reports, individuals who pose national security threats, have committed serious crimes, been linked to human rights violations, or gained citizenship through fraud or false claims are now being targeted for denaturalization.

And here’s the part that’s really shaking tables — over 25 million naturalized citizens could potentially fall under this increased scrutiny. Yes, you read that right. Twenty-five million!

The DOJ says the goal is to protect national security and maintain the integrity of the naturalization process. But not everyone is buying that.

Critics are already speaking out, warning that this could create fear and mistrust within immigrant communities — especially for those who are eligible but now too scared to apply for citizenship.

Omo, the tension in immigrant circles right now no be small!

As you may remember, Mohbad’s death in 2023 was accompanied by a number of controversies.  Mohbad’s sister-in-law Karimot, a nurse working overseas, had been vocal about the problems surrounding his passing. 

Karimot denied any involvement in the singer’s death in a recent video.  She begged to be left alone, saying that some individuals are trying to kill her. 

Karimot stated…
“Nigerians, if you k!ll me, you just want to be w!cked to me. There is nobody to take care of my kids. If my husband marries another woman, she will maltreat my kids. I don’t know anything about Mohbad’s de@th, I was not the nurse that injected him. My de@th is not useful to you. Pls don’t k!ll me. My bl00d will be on you all. Nigerians you are w!cked, What else do you want from me? I have no father or mother. You all have started the narrative that I was the nurse that injected Mohbad. If I was the nurse or if I was ever in the house with them before Mohbad’s demise, may I d!e untimely”

Reactions have followed …

@call_me_minash commented: “Like there is one spirit on social media,once you start like this you can’t just stop.”

Watch the video below …

Lil Kesh expressed some skepticism about the idea of marriage, pointing out the rising rates of divorce and the number of couples who seem unhappy. His perspective is a reflection of the times we live in, where it’s not uncommon to question traditional beliefs. It’s always interesting to hear artists share their views on love and commitment, and it certainly makes you think about what truly makes relationships work.
